You just said, Max always fucking shows, but I didn't say a fucking word.

Max Delgado (0:14)

All I said was say that you're ready. We don't need to hear this.

Perry Fitzgerald (0:16)

Can you turn my headphones down a little bit, please?

Dan Katz (0:18)

Just don't even talk.

Perry Fitzgerald (0:19)

It's very loud.

Dan Katz (0:21)

You guys can't turn on the mics when you say the funniest fucking things in the world.

Perry Fitzgerald (0:24)

Just a wee bit.

Dan Katz (0:25)

Zach, if you say something funny today and your mic's not on, you're sussied.

No, he won't, because I just said I'd sussie him. Turn your fucking mic off.

Max Delgado (0:34)

Yeah, I will. You have every...

Dan Katz (0:35)

Well, I will.

You, all three of you, can I just make this clear? All three of you have full autonomy to turn on the mic whenever you want. On today's Pardon My Take, presented by DraftKings, it's NFL Week 3 picks and preview, and we're going to talk about Thursday Night Football and the Packers stink. Michael Penix is back, the Falcons have some life. We got some MLB postseason clinching. We're going to get to all of our picks every single game. We also have Ari Emanuel, Super Agent.

Ari Emanuel, the guy who Ari Gold was written after in Entourage. He's in studio. Really interesting interview. He's got a new book out.

I like the interview, PFT. It was a different interview than we usually do, but it was a good conversation.

Perry Fitzgerald (1:27)

Yeah, good insight, interesting talk.

Dan Katz (1:29)

Yeah.

Guy has seen it all in Hollywood and done it all. So we had a good talk with him. Then we're going to finish with FireFest, and it's all brought to you by our friends at Planet Fitness.

Welcome to Part of My Take presented by DraftKings. The crown is yours today is Friday, September 25th, and the Green Bay Packers are dead.

Perry Fitzgerald (3:18)

That was bad, that was ugly.

Dan Katz (3:19)

They stink, PFT, and it is fun to watch.

Perry Fitzgerald (3:22)

Yeah, you can hear the smile from Big Cat. It's a, they're a bad football team. That's just point blank how it is. They might have a couple good players. They've got some talent kind of scattered around. I'm not ready to say that anything's on Jordan Love, but the rest of the team is pretty bad.

Offensive line, one of the worst performances by an offensive line in totality, when you look at how many pressures they gave up, like dudes were coming in Love's face all day. All day. And they could not block up front to save their life for the running game either.

Dan Katz (3:52)

And they also.

Perry Fitzgerald (3:52)

The Falcons had.

Dan Katz (3:53)

They got gashed.

Perry Fitzgerald (3:54)

Crazy stat. The Falcons, 244 yards rushing from their backs. That is number one in the NFL so far this season.

Dan Katz (4:02)

Yeah.

Perry Fitzgerald (4:03)

Of any game. Yeah. The Packers, 17 rushing yards from their backs. That is the last for any team in any game this season.

Dan Katz (4:12)

Bijan was so, so good. Let me actually, let me talk more about the Packers sucking. Then we got to give the Falcons flowers. Because this is legitimately exciting for the Atlanta Falcons and Atlanta Falcons fans. You had basically hell the first two weeks. And now you have what looks like a real offense. But that was the, so the Packers had won 13 straight home openers, 13 straight. That's a lot of years that you've got to be good to win 13 straight home openers.
