00:00
All right, let's get to my NFL predictions.
00:03
Now, the way we do predictions here at the Craig Carton Show,
00:07
it's not like everybody else.
00:08
I'm not going to bore you with,
00:10
I think the Baltimore Ravens are going to win the North.
00:12
We're not doing that.
00:13
I think the Eagles are going to win the East.
00:14
No, we're going to give you predictions that matter.
00:17
All right, predictions that you can hold on to
00:19
and talk to your buddies when you get to work later today.
00:22
So prediction number one, in Cleveland,
00:24
old man Joe Flacco is going to get hurt at some point this year,
00:29
and he's going to be replaced by Dylan Gabriel,
00:32
who is number two on the depth chart.
00:34
Shadir Sanders is number three.
00:36
Within 24 hours of Dylan Gabriel being announced as the starter,
00:41
some woke race-baiting announcer, I don't know,
00:44
like Ryan Clark, is going to go on television
00:46
and complain that Shadir Sanders should be the starting quarterback
00:51
in Cleveland and not Dylan Gabriel.
00:55
There you go, Ryan.
00:56
Oh, no, stop the cat.
00:57
That's a lock.
00:57
That's not going to happen.
00:58
Not Ryan Clark.
00:59
It's not going to happen.
01:00
That's all Ryan Clark does.
01:01
That is a lock.
01:02
That is not a lock.
01:03
How come Dylan Gabriel is starting?
01:05
The Browns must be racist.
01:07
By the way, speaking of the Sanders,
01:10
as soon as Flacco gets hurt or the Browns lose three of their first three games
01:15
and they're again playing for the number one pick in the draft,
01:19
Diaz probably going to come out and start floating the idea of,
01:22
maybe I will go to the NFL.
01:24
That is a guaranteed prediction number one.
01:26
I like that one better.
01:27
All right.
01:28
Prediction number two.
01:29
Joe Burrow, arguably the best quarterback in football.
01:32
Joe Burrow is going to lead the league in every passing category,
01:36
despite the Bengals going winless into the month of October.
01:43
Joe will then, for the first time in his career, demand a trade,
01:46
and Cincinnati is going to say to him,
01:49
they will honor his trade request by putting him in the Bengal Hall of Fame
01:55
or their version of it, which is called the Ring of Honor.
01:58
But with one caveat, he has to buy his own tickets at his own hotel room,
02:03
just like my former radio partner, Boomer Esiason.
02:06
And it'll look at something like this.
02:07
If you guys have that, there you go.
02:08
I mean, in the case of Burrow, he could afford it.
02:12
Yeah, they could both afford it.
02:13
Me and the guy is crying poverty.
02:15
I can tell you that right now.
02:17
That's Bengals football for you, the cheapest organization in the NFL.
02:21
All right.
02:21
Prediction number three.
02:23
Commissioner of the NFL, Roger Goodell,
02:25
will be caught on a private webcam on his knees,
02:30
praying to a statue of Taylor Swift.
02:33
Swift, that's right.
02:36
He will then deny it and claim that the NFL hates country music
02:40
and sadly, Lil Wayne, and he was just trying to find a lost contact lens.
02:44
But the damage will be done when you see that picture right there of Roger Goodell.
02:50
Which brings me to number four.
02:52
Prediction number four.
02:53
One of the most highly anticipated moments of the entire NFL season
02:58
actually happens week one,
02:59
where the Pittsburgh Steelers play my beloved New York Jets,
03:02
and they do that, of course, with Aaron Rodgers as their quarterback.
03:07
Aaron Rodgers is going to struggle in Pittsburgh,
03:09
and he's going to do the unthinkable.
03:12
He's going to come out of the press conference and say publicly,
03:15
it's either me or Tomlin.
03:18
One of us has to go.
03:20
We both can't stay.
03:22
And that will be the last press conference Aaron Rodgers ever has
03:25
as an active member of the NFL.
03:28
Wow.
03:28
Yeah.
03:29
I like that one.
03:30
I like that one.
03:31
That's a time for another one or no?
03:33
Yeah, you got time.
03:34
I got time for another one.
03:36
All right, fine.
03:36
Another one.
03:37
All right.
03:38
Prediction number five for you.
03:40
You may have heard that a number of NFL teams decided that this was the year
03:43
to premiere male cheerleaders.
03:45
Like they're having college all over the place.
03:47
All good.
03:47
All over college.
03:48
I got it.
03:49
I get it.
03:49
I get it.
03:50
Some guys like to do that kind of thing.
03:52
I'm not among them, but whatever, whatever toots your horn, I suppose.
03:55
But let me just keep it real.
03:58
It's the dumbest thing I ever heard.
04:00
They do it in college.
04:00
The last bastion of American manhood is an NFL or college football game.
04:08
And I do respect the fact that some guys just like pom-poms.
04:13
Whatever makes you happy.
04:14
Uh-huh.
04:15
I'm good with that.
04:16
Yeah.
04:17
But the NFL and college football doesn't have to play into it and put them on the sideline.
04:23
They don't.
04:23
And anyone says it's great.
04:25
It's awesome.
04:26
Let's encourage it.
04:28
Let's embrace it.
04:29
You're lying.
04:30
Everyone knows you're lying.
04:31
That being said, my final prediction is one of those male cheerleaders is probably going
04:37
to get pregnant.
04:39
What?
04:40
What?
04:41
They're going to.
04:41
What's happening?
04:42
Yeah.
04:42
They're going to scrap.
04:44
They're going to have to scrap the entire idea.
04:46
Where are we going?
04:47
All right.
04:47
More predictions coming up.
04:49
More football coming up.
04:51
You could have put one.
04:53
You got any real ones in there?
04:55
No real ones?
04:57
All right.
04:57
I mean, come on.
04:58
I'll give you a quick real one.
04:59
Yeah.
05:00
The Kansas City Chiefs do not make the Super Bowl.
