00:00It's time to start looking at week one.

00:07I got a poll question up on my Twitter X feed right now, at SportsRage, what's the best

00:13survivor pick of the week, except there's, you know, there's a bunch of ways of looking

00:17at this.

00:18All right.

00:19And for the record, the circus survivor got to the required amount of contestants.

00:26So they got to 10,000.

00:28There's going to be over 10,000 people in this contest.

00:31Anything now is just sort of an overlay for the players.

00:34There's probably going to be about 10 and a half, potentially, maybe $11 million at

00:39stake on the line when it's all said and done.

00:42But they got to the 10 mil.

00:44So this thing, let the circus begin.

00:49And you can't take, obviously, anyone and no survivor, you can't take the same team

00:54twice.

00:55Okay.

00:56You know, so it's easy to say and look and go, oh, you know, let's say like the Chicago

01:00Bears for the record.

01:01I like the Chicago Bears this week, but I will also tell you the last 15 quarterbacks

01:07to start in week one as a rookie or 014 and one, the last quarterback to start in week

01:14one as a rookie and win the football game was David Carr.

01:20Not even Derek Carr, David Carr, 2002 Houston Texans.

01:24We're going back a ways.

01:25All right.

01:27So it's like the road to hell was paved with good intentions, but nevertheless, it's still

01:30a road to hell.

01:31And so you got Caleb Williams, you got a bunch of quarterbacks making the first start.

01:36So the numbers are against them, but without being stated, I think Caleb Williams is already

01:42better than Will Levis.

01:44Hasn't played a game yet in National Football League.

01:46There's my first hot take of the season.
