Caitlin Clark on New Nike Ad, Signature Shoe & Fantasy Punishments + Week 18 Preview | EP 173

Do you feel more comfortable that I. could maybe dunk in a few weeks or get. better at shooting. >> in [clears throat] a few weeks? Oh boy. [laughter]. >> Is that what we're calling that? All you. need is a few weeks. >> 30 days. 30 days is what I'm going for. I told him he had to lose at least 20. lbs and get the technique down. Perfect. >> I think you need to start with like a. tennis ball. Then you get the tennis. ball, you go to like a volleyball, then. you go to a basketball. I mean, don't. ask me. I obviously I obviously don't. dunk. >> Are you dunking? [laughter]. >> Heck no. I could maybe like grab the. rim, but like I just shoot threes and.

that's good. [music]. >> Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and. gentlemen, boys and girls show brought. to you by Nike. That's right. I'll let.

[laughter] I appreciate. >> Yes, please jump on whenever. Let's talk. some Nike. We're honored to be a part of. your Nike launch. Uh being a part of the.

commercial that is. How's it feel? How's. it feel to finally have it all out. there? And I know it was it was a long. time coming. >> Definitely a long time coming. Like been. in the works for quite some time. And. obviously this is kind of launching like. a whole year where my shoe eventually. will come out. um wearing it on the. court this this coming season. So. >> nice. >> That's probably what I'm most excited. for, but like just getting the people um. more excited with the logo and obviously. I already have some merch out which. you're proudly rocking which I. appreciate. >> Um but yeah, no, it's so so exciting and. a lot of the people that were obviously. in the commercial YouTube and Travis.

Scott was in it. My college basketball. coach was in it and then just some other. >> people that have kind of like been huge. fans throughout my career or you know. have been a part since I was either in. high school or now professionally. So, I. felt like the ad was like very me. Um, so that was super cool and it was fun to. shoot and you know, just really thankful. that everybody was a part of it and. especially you guys. So, you made it. fun. You brought the energy. [laughter]. >> Yeah, Jason. >> Jason can't make a jump shot to save his. life. He's actually You are out of your. mind. >> Next time [laughter] we need to get you.

guys on the real basketball court. That's what would have made it funny. You're like out there actually. >> You already know. >> All right. It's It's funny you mentioned. this cuz recently I got into a. basketball court for the first time in. like 20 years. I'm I'm on a mission to. be able to dunk Caitlyn. >> I've never been able to. >> No, he's been doing this. This mission. has been 30 years running. >> We have video footage. Brandon, do we. want to play that now or? >> Yeah. Let's see what we got. >> OH GOSH. >> THIS is going to be hilarious. >> I'm Jason Kelsey. >> This is Jackass. [snorts]. >> I'm a try and dunk a basketball. I can't. jump off of one foot to save MY LIFE.

[screaming]. >> [laughter]. >> I MEAN, you made it still without. [laughter]. >> I WENT IN. >> OH, [clears throat] DUDE. YOU ARE You're. not even touching the rim. >> We got a ways to go. >> We got a ways. We got a ways. We got a. way. >> We got a ways. You have no. >> Look AT THAT. LOOK AT THAT. I'M KIND OF. UP THERE. >> OKAY, THAT ONE'S not as bad. That one's. not as bad. >> I'm a better two-foot jumper. I can't. jump off of one foot. I'm going to tear. my Achilles. >> You're a fundamental guy. We got to get. you the right fundamentals. You're not. >> So, this is what I wanted to ask. Is are.

there techniques to jump higher? I mean, I don't know. >> I think it's technically easier to dunk. off jumping off of one foot than two. feet. I think jumping off of two is. probably. >> really drive that's kind of like a high. jumper. You really drive that other knee. up and it helps you like kind of. catapult yourself up there. But I think. I think we're out of [gasps]. >> He has to [laughter] do it by two. because he squats so much. Yeah, you're. a you're a power jumper. >> People Well, it just hurts my ankle so. bad trying to jump off of [laughter] one. leg. >> He's got a bad He's got a bad ankle.

You're in danger. >> Do you feel more comfortable that I. could maybe dunk in a few weeks or get. better at shooting. >> in a few weeks? Oh boy. [laughter]. >> Is that what we're calling that? All you. need is a few weeks. >> Days. 30 days. 30 days is what I'm going. for. >> Oh gosh. Trav, can you still dunk? You. think? >> Are you kidding me? Your name go between. the legs right now? No, not at all. [laughter] like that. Um, I can I can. definitely dunk though. I I'll have that. in the bag till I'm at least like 50, I. think. Jason, I told him he had to lose. at least 20 pounds and get the technique.

down perfectly. >> I think you could do it, though. I think. you need to start with like a tennis. ball. Then you get the tennis ball, you. go to like a volleyball, then you go to. a basketball. >> Okay. All right. >> Work your way up. I mean, don't ask me. I obviously I dunk. [laughter]. >> Heck no. I could maybe like grab the. rim, but like. >> I'm not anywhere close to that. I just. shoot threes and that's good. >> Shoot it from anywhere. >> How easy is it for somebody to learn how. to shoot who can't shoot? just. hypothetically speaking, not for myself. >> Honestly, like I feel like if you're. willing to like learn and like that's.

the problem I feel like with a lot of. like young kids and like young. basketball players, they're just their. form is like so jacked up. But like I. feel like it's a pretty easy thing to. pick up on like from a young age. So. that's always what I tell like young. kids like make sure your form is always. good and then you like kind of work your. way back. But that's what I would always. say the most important is. And like I. would get mad at my dad when I was a. young girl because he wouldn't let me. like just launch threes cuz like my. elbows would be out like this. I'd be. like throwing it like that cuz I wasn't. strong enough and then it like ruins. your form and then you have those habits. like going on through the rest of your. career. So, but I mean if I think if.

you're like willing to learn and like I. don't think that I think that would be. easier than learning to dunk if you like. couldn't jump like you're trying to like. become explosive again. I guess. [laughter]. I feel like standing there and being. like this would be a little easier. >> All right, fair enough. Fair enough. I. kind of shoot I got that Shawn Marian. going on right now. I got to get better. at that. But. >> he either Shawn Marians it or he just. goes onehanded. Honestly, he might be. better. >> One hand is impressive. That's really. impressive. >> One hand, top of the key. He He knows he. has the backboard if he if he throws it. too long.

>> I don't know what to do with this left. hand. It just feels awkward to me when. it's involved with the basketball. >> That's harder. So, that's impressive. Honestly, >> this guy's insane. Let's get back to. Nike, though. I I got to I got to ask. some questions cuz I'm such a huge. sneaker fan. Um you said that you're. wearing the new kicks uh coming up this. season. Um, I honestly for everyone that. doesn't know like the process that goes. into like making the sneakers, like how. long in advance has it been or like when. does it all start? Do they come to you. with a with a shoot, a bunch of shoes?

Do you kind of get to tweak them here. and there? How is that process? Yeah, I. think it's honestly been like probably. one of the coolest things I've got to do. since honestly the process started at. the end of my senior year when I was at. Iowa because I was deciding what shoe. company I was going to go with. And I. talked to Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour. and they all offered me a signature. shoe. Obviously, some faster than. others. And you know, everybody know. knows Nike makes the best product. It. just kind of takes a little bit longer. And so that's and I, you know, I grew up.

wanting to be a Nike athlete. Every kid. does. Nike Jordan. Like that's that's. the premier brand and everybody knows. >> Custom Kobes. Yeah. >> Oh yeah, the custom Kobies are I sent. like Harry and some of your friends. So. they're like, "How do we get the. [laughter]. I was like I got you." Um but no, I mean. it's probably been been like a year and. a half now of like figuring out what. exactly I want. And I think probably the. most challenging part of it is like you. want it to be unique, but at the same. time like I have to be comfortable. wearing it. So I think we kind of like.

you kind of take what you know you're. comfortable in. And like obviously I. play in a lot of Kobes, but I don't at. the same time I don't want it to be a. Kobe. I want it to be something very. unique to me and a little bit different. And I think for myself like you know I. kind of think about like what's kind of. been important to me when I think about. like shoes or sneakers. And I think like. just the chaseability of them and like. you want a certain sneaker or like you. want a certain color way. So I think. that's like going to be probably the. most fun part like okay great like you. have like the mold of the shoe and like. what it is and the technology that's in. it. Um, but more so I think I'm more.

excited about like making the certain. colorways or collabing with certain. brands or whatever it is. I know I. definitely got a Chief's colorway on the. way or PE or something. coaching them at some point or. something. >> Are you kidding me? You. >> turn into a tweet or we get something. like that. >> Listen, you're you're speaking to me. now. I'm I'm game. It's so cool cuz a. lot of a lot of like you're doing. exactly what like I've always dreamed of. doing in terms because everybody that. plays a sport or definitely is a hooper.

like dreams of having a signature shoe. Like it is the coolest [ __ ] ever. But I. um I remember LeBron came out with his. first signature shoe and it was like he. had this Hummer in high school, the. notorious Hummer. [laughter] and he kind. of like shaped or like made the shoes. kind of resemble a Hummer's like look. and model and everything like that. Like. when it comes down to like it being true. to you, I can't wait to see exactly what. this thing looks like. And uh and and. you already know I'll be I'll be the. first one in line to get a. >> Yeah. Know that's going to be cool. And.

it's crazy cuz LeBron's already LeBron's. on shoe 23 now, which is like crazy to. think about how long his signature line. has lasted. >> I know. It's crazy. And I've gotten all. 23 of them. You don't see like a lot of. signature cleats in football, do you. really? Like it's not really the same. Like Trav, you wear like your own pees, like Jordan pees, right? Don't you? >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Shout out to Shout. out to Jordan. Um I think I think those. fit my game the best just cuz I grew up. in that like Jordan era of like I kind. of like that that mid to to high top.

like boot kind of feel, you know? Save. the ankles, protect the ankles. >> Yeah. [laughter]. But but it's it's actually it's ironic. how like a lot of like LeBron's made his. his way to the the football football. field. Jordan's made his way to the. football field. It's kind of like the. the basketball players kind of run that. that world of like what's on your feet. and it's uh it's always been because of. you know how good you guys are on the. court. >> How much goes into the technology? I do. I am curious about that because that's. that's one thing that I get frustrated a.

little bit with like. >> uh cleats, modern cleats sometimes. are. like, "Man, I wish these things grabbed. better. I wish they had a different mold. on the bottom of them." Like, did you. were you super involved in that process. as well? >> Yeah, for sure. And like obviously I'm. pretty like picky about what I wear. Like I like a certain two Kobe models. So like I knew whatever I was going to. put in my own shoe, it would need to be. like the equivalent of that technology. or even better. And it's going to be. even better. I'm not going to say. exactly what it is. I think it'll get. it'll get people excited about and I. think even like the Chinese market like. I was talking to some people at Nike.

like over in China like they'll cut open. the inside of the Kobes and like. >> like show people the technology that's. on the inside of the shoe cuz they're. like that means a lot to them. Like they. want to know what they're getting out of. the product, >> right? >> Wow. >> So I thought that was like really cut. that open. That's crazy. >> I know. So it better be made well. But. it will [laughter]. say. >> I've seen some videos where they'll like. cut them in half and you know you can. like look at like a complete. cross-section of the whole thing. So, there's like a couple Kobes that they. have only the technology in like the. heel of your foot and not the forefoot.

of your foot. And I can like tell a huge. difference when I play in those. Like it. feels like I'm running on hardwood. So, like I've really struggled to wear. those. But for other people, they. obviously love them. But for me, it's. like I know I need that technology. everywhere. So, that's honestly been a. huge part of, you know, the process and. the creation of the shoe is like it. being comfortable and exactly kind of. what I need. And the technology that. we're going to put into it isn't. anything that they've ever put into a. basketball shoe before. So, I'm really. excited about that. >> That's exciting. >> It really is amazing how much one shoe. works for one person, but it doesn't.

work for like Nike switched the bottom. of their cleat maybe what 2018 trail. When did they start going to that new. mold? >> Um, [snorts]. gosh, you're putting me on the spot. They're all tying together right now. >> 2019, 2018, whatever. Anyways, they went. to like a new mold and I'm like, man, there's just something that feels a. little bit off and I like went and had. my foot like 3D analyzed. >> That's what I was going to say. like do. they do they scan your guys' feets feet. for the cleats or how's that work? So. they have that technology available and. I went to that I had never used it and. they said actually your foot is geared. more towards this like 2015 cleat that.

they kind of stopped making and I went. back to that was like my foot. >> they had to dig some up in the storage. unit so you. >> they were searching they were searching. equipment rooms like this I was wearing. this cleat up until like 2024. I'd have to take him to a cobbler in. South Philly who would have to reglue it. cuz the glue was starting to rot out on. these things. Oh, Jason went full on. custom. Like he went [laughter] he got. his own. >> tire please. >> Exactly. >> You [laughter] still you still got those. things in the garage if the the Eagles.

need a needed need one game out of them. You still got them. You still got them. >> Stop. Stop. >> What did you guys collect the most of? I. know like Tra, you collected a lot of. shoes growing up. Like what were you. like what did you like the most or like. what was something you kind of always. wanted to get or what's your favorite. pair of shoes you've ever owned? I was. just going to get into I didn't want to. get into too much about your shoe. because, you know, it's it's still the. excitement of everyone, you know, I. mean, the drop and everything, but my my. favorite shoe ever was the Marty McFly. when they came out with the. >> the self-tying and the and and just.

>> the whole boot and finally bringing that. to life, knowing that it was in the. future back in the 80s and like they. actually made that mold. I was it was. like my first seriously it was like my. first purchase when I got a check. I was. like went online like Marty McFly's Nike. size 13 cuz they did make a size 14. I'm. just like where are they? [laughter]. >> And I grabbed them [clears throat] but. and I still got them. Still got them. Those things still light up on me and. everything. >> I'm what some people might call shoe. ignorant. I I don't know anything about. shoes.

>> You just wear whatever you get for free. I like that. >> That's what it was. I wore sandals and. then my mom got me the only time I ever. cared about what I wore. She got me two. pairs of Sketchers. And I wore these. things into high school and never again. have I ever worn a pair of Sketchers. I'm sorry. Sketchers. I'm sorry. [laughter] They did not light up. >> I got clowned so bad. [laughter]. And then I immediately went out and. bought some uh Timberland boots cuz. everybody was saying those. >> been rocking Tims ever since. >> Rocking the Tims. That's great. That's. hilarious. From Sketchers to Tims.

That's quite. >> I got to I got [laughter] to fix this. public image right now. This is not. good. >> My original like love for kicks came in. the Jordan era. I remember wearing the. uh the 14s or uh yeah, the Jordan 14s in. like middle school travel league. basketball. Um and then uh when Braun. came out with uh with everything being a. Cleveland kid and seeing him actually. play in high school was crazy. >> So you guys saw him live? Like how. often? >> I got lucky. One of one of our good. friends uh Andrew Brandt and his uh his. mom had an extra ticket.

>> No way. >> And I went down there and saw it like to. the roof. It was like a It was like a. whole like parade event outside. They. had to like cut off the like streets. around it. It was insane. It was awesome. though. Yeah. He threw it off the. backboard and threw it down and the. whole stadium. Whole arena felt like it. was about to rock. >> I never saw him play live, but he was on. all the time. Like even when he he he. had a few of the games that were. broadcast nationally when he was in high. school, but even the other ones were on. local TV and it was like an entire event.

when he was in high school. Like. everybody be talking about the next day. Did you see what LeBron did last night? And it was just it was a crazy time in. Cleveland for sure. >> I got one more Bronze story. So, in high. school, he uh this is when I was in high. school, he was going through his first. couple years in the leagues and uh his. Bron Twos came out and Bron Twos were. iconic shoe. I still have so many pairs. of them. But at that point, I wanted to. get like a pair that nobody had. And in. my mind, I didn't really know the like. sneaker market or like how things worked.

or anything like that. So, I thought I. was going to go out and get a pair that. nobody had. And literally, like there. was only like two colorways that LeBron. had officially [laughter] came out with. at that point. And I went online and I'm. searching all the web for like a LeBron. 2 and I found this black and silver pair. of LeBron twos. >> Were they fake? >> Begged my mother to get them for me for. Christmas. Walked into high tie with. them. And one of my Harry's older. brother, Will, actually came up to me. He's like, "Trey, let me see those. things." He looked at him. Somebody from.

across the across the room. Hey Will, you think those are real? And Will and. like real fake. [laughter]. >> I got smoked. Never wore them again. Mom. asked me, "Oh, did everyone love your. shoes?" I was like, "Yeah, they love. them. >> They took them. They loved them so. much." [laughter]. >> The funniest part was I ordered a 14 and. they were like a size 11. I was like, the whole time my feet were like. [laughter]. it was the worst.

That's hilarious. That's a great story. >> That the worst. This is so good. >> Should we talk back on the basketball. court a little bit? >> Let's get into it. >> So, back on the court, Team USA. practice. How you feeling? >> It was fun obviously to get back out. there. It had been a minute. So, like it. was just obviously a long and like tough. year of reoccurring injuries and like. you guys know how that goes. Like when. you get one nagging thing, it kind of. leads to another. So, it wasn't. obviously how I envisioned it and it. stunk. But like we still kind of found a. way like our team like we had like six. of our players go down with injuries. It.

was unreal and we still had a great. year. Made it to the semi-finals and. yeah we were like a game away from the. finals and so that was pretty impressive. considering kind of what we went through. but. >> it was a long process to like just get. back on the court cuz when you have like. the groins and the you know quads and. whatever you're dealing with it's like. you don't run for a while. So like it's. it's weird like learning to run again in. a way. Um, and then on top of that, like. going to like play versus the best. players again and like just getting. tossed out back into the fire, but it. was fun. Like, I mean, I probably. wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Like, you get thrown back out there with.

the best players in the world. And you. see like you're right where you were. before you got hurt. And it was only 3. days, so it was it was cool. And it was. at Duke, which is obviously one of the. most historic basketball places ever. So, that was a a pretty cool thing, too. And kind of kicks off like the next. cycle for like preparing for the. Olympics. And then we have the World Cup. in 2026, so at the end of September. So, we'll actually like pause the WNBA. season, very similar like how we do when. we have the Olympics, right before the. playoffs, and then we'll go play the. World Cup, which technically the World.

Cup in the past has almost been harder. for us to win because there's more teams. that play in the World Cup than qualify. for the Olympics. >> So, sometimes it's harder to win that. >> So, hopefully I'm on the team for that. And um obviously my goal is to be on the. on the Olympic team in 2028. So, it. feels like it's far away, but it's. probably actually way closer than it. sounds. >> It'll be here as soon as you know it, I'm sure. Yeah. >> Yeah. Maybe Tra Well, you both could. You could play flag football in 2028. >> Hey, [clears throat]. >> you already know. I'll uh.

>> I could snap if they need a snapper. I. will [laughter] gladly snap the ball and. do nothing. >> Yeah, I could snap, too. So, I'll We'll. be running for that job. We'll be. competing for that [laughter] job. Do you guys think any like NFL players. will actually like want to play or like. try to play or. >> Oh, I think there's going to be a bunch. that are going to want to. >> a few of the receivers and and DBs that. have good like uh like hand eye and ball. skills. I think those guys that have a. good run at it. Um I don't know if the. quarterbacks will entertain it. It's a. different game at quarterback.

>> Yeah, that's what I was about to say. It. does. There's definitely uh crossover, but it is a different sport. And I don't. I I think there's going to be a lot of. guys that want to do it and I think the. NFL is going to embrace guys trying to. play in it because it's only good for. the league to see their players on a. national scale like that and we don't. ever get that opportunity. But it is a. different sport. >> I think it'll be similar to the the. threeon three, you know, the like uh. like how uh who was I think Jimmer was. was probably the biggest name of the. threeon three.

>> He just retired. It was his last. Olympics. Yeah. >> Yeah. Shout out to Jimmer, man. Electric. Electric. >> Like his game is perfect for that. like. >> fast, like can shoot it like. >> just quick. But yeah, like you said, like completely different. Threeon-ree. basketball is obviously only played in. the half court and there's no stopping. You literally play to I think a score or. time, which is just way different than. five on five. >> We see you in this uh in this picture. with Cameron Brink rocking number 17. >> I know. >> Where'd the seven come? Was that just a. jersey that you get? I was about to say.

they for these these practices they. >> 17's not the best number ever. I. wouldn't have picked that. [laughter]. But so the players that like have been. on the national team prior get to. continue wearing their jersey like that. practice number jersey or their jersey. obviously until like they're done. playing on the Olympic team or whatever. happens for the next Olympics. Um and. then all us newcomers there's a lot of. young people at that camp. We just get. assigned a random number. I guess I got. 17. Nobody asked me but it was fine. >> All right. So are you just stuck in 17. now in perpetuity though? Do you get to. change it maybe in the future? So if I.

eventually make the team I It's weird. like cuz international in international. basketball that you only I think it's. four through 15. Those are the only. numbers. So you have a four 5 6 7 8 9. 10. >> What? >> Isn't that weird? Like you don't get to. pick. >> real? >> Yeah. Well, at least for the United. States. >> I did not know that. >> So it's kind of cool cuz when I've. played junior national teams in the. past, we have like a like a bag tag like. a sticker on your backpack and it says. like all the players that have worn your. jersey. So it' be like. >> so dope. If you're number six, it would. be like LeBron. I think he was number.

six. Or like and then you'd have the. women's players and obviously all the. men's players, which is really cool. You. get to see who kind of has worn worn. your jersey. >> So, this is not in honor of Philip. Rivers. >> It's not. But [laughter]. how about that? Is that not insane? >> Electric. Electric. >> You got to give him a lot of credit. And. he was pretty good. >> He's throwing touchdowns. >> I was worried he's like going to pop an. Achilles or. >> No, you don't got to worry about old. Philip Rivers, man. That guy's tough as. nails. It was crazy. I mean, like when I. first obviously when I first saw that.

online, I was like, "Oh, that's like got. to be fake news." Like cuz there's so. much fake news out there these days. >> It was definitely a AI clip in my mind. Or I was just like, "There's no way he's. really about this. Somebody's being. funny." And then it was. >> And they should have won the game he. played in at Seattle. >> They were winning when he walked off the. field. >> Yeah, they made the kick, the long field. goal. I turned the game off actually cuz. I was watching that game. I was like, "Oh, that's great." Like he won. Like. cool. What do you know? I like check the. box score on the ESPN app and I'm like, "Oh my god, that's a heartbreaker.". That's so sad. >> Sammy Darnold had other had other plans.

>> Yeah. >> Yes. >> He's had a great year, too. He's been. really good. >> Happy as hell for that guy, man. God, that Seattle team, we played him in We. played them in the preseason and I was. just like, there's something about this. team. They got this like I you could. just feel the energy and the juice and. how much they loved playing the game. >> Dogs. >> Yeah, they got some dogs. And I was just. like, man, there's something about this. team. And then Jackson and Jenga just. >> came to life out of like like started. looking like the most unstoppable.

receiver in the league. >> Mhm. So what are your guys This is. obviously the Chiefs. We're not in the. playoffs, which is okay. We've had a. great run. [laughter]. >> It's not okay. It's not okay, but at. this point it is what it is. >> Jason, you can't say the Eagles. So what. are your guys' takes on the playoff. picture? What do you think's going to. happen? >> I really like the Rams until last night. It was a I mean the first half was kind. of the first weakness that we kind of. saw from them. Now to their credit they. did bounce back and almost end up. winning it there at the end. But the. Rams feel like they have the least.

questions of everybody that's in the. playoffs. Like everything kind of has an. answer. They're great on the offense. They're great on the defensive line. They run the ball well. They stop the. run. Their quarterback is. >> a proven already won a Super Bowl and. been around for a long time. So, it's. like that's kind of the team that I. think probably is the safest one. >> Well, I got Matt Stafford as literally. like my last pick in my fantasy draft, WHICH WAS A STEAL. >> Cuz we Nobody knew how to play cuz. remember he had the back stuff. >> Yeah. Didn't do anything season.

>> Trav got me a lot of points this season. So, I didn't get last. That was my only. goal. I was [laughter]. >> People do not last. >> Didn't get last. >> Have you just been Have you just been. getting smoked the past couple years or. what? >> As long as I don't have to do the. punishment, I'm fine. Wait, Tom. Do you. have a favorite? Who do you think is. gonna win the. >> Super Bowl? >> I mean, I'm not cheering for anybody. [laughter] I'm obviously. >> um honestly like I'm a Drake May fan. I. think he's been [clears throat]. incredible and like I think the Patriots.

are I mean what is it? The NFC is looks. I mean like they're all so good. The. Niners are really good, but they're I. mean they're the most injured team, but. they just still find a way to win, which. is pretty crazy. >> Very impressive. I mean, I I'll probably. be like pulling for the Patriots, but I. mean, I think the Rams are really good, too. Sam Darnold seems like a good guy, so I I could root for him, too. But. >> about to say, you could I could root for. all of them. You already know. >> There's some [laughter] I can't root. for. Come on. >> I can I can I can root for all of them, man. >> Especially Yeah, we got we got some good.

guys out there, >> but the viewership's not going to be the. same without the Chiefs. So, how do you. think the Eagles will do, Jason? >> I think they'll do better than people. expect. I mean, I know that the offense. struggled in the second half last week. and it's struggled at times this season, but their defense is so good. And. whoever they get in this first round, they're probably going to get a team. that's whether it's uh the Rams, who. have said they're going to play their. starters, or uh San Francisco, I think, is the other team that will probably be. it. There's a chance they could be the. two seed and play Green Bay. Um they're. going to get a team traveling from the.

West Coast all the way to the East. Coast, and the Eagles are probably going. to rest. So, I kind of feel good about. round one. I feel like they're so. talented that. >> they have a chance to beat anybody, especially. >> they got so much so much firepower on. offense. It's just waiting to explode, man. >> And they've won before, so they know how. to do it. >> Speaking of quarterbacks, that like so. much of it is like who can handle the. moment really well and he's been he's. proven that he can do it. >> He shows the poise. >> There's some guys that we're just kind. of waiting to see. >> I'm too intrigued to let this go. You.

said something about your fantasy. league's punishment. What is it this. year? >> Okay, it was like you had options. You. could do like a 17-hour bus ride, no. phone. >> You could do this. >> No phone on a bus. >> Yeah. Like you just have to sit there. like to like. >> I I don't know. Oh, I think you. literally have to like just sit there. like. >> But you actually you had to take your. phone cuz you had to live stream the. whole thing on Instagram so everybody.

could watch to make [laughter] sure you. weren't doing anything. >> Awesome. >> That's kind of Yeah, you can get some. entertainment out of the live stream. itself. >> And then the other option was like. standup comedy and the IHOP like 20 like. the IHOP pancake challenge where you. have to like eat a certain amount of. pancakes. Yeah. >> So, you had to do both of those. And. then there was like one where you could. like pay out a bunch of money. >> and be like, I'm not doing any of it, but I'm paying a bunch of money and you. can we can be done with it. But I think. the person that lost is going to have to. do the bus ride. So, [laughter].

>> you got to make sure we know about that. live stream. [laughter]. >> Yeah, for sure. It'll be very exciting. >> Yeah. >> Well, do you want to play a game that we. have where you pick an NFL team? It's. kind of randomized. >> Yeah, we did this with with Paul R. >> I don't really know what it's called. What's this called? >> Um, NFL Perry. I I don't know. It's. weird. It's very. >> I don't know. We did it with Paul R. We. both did it. >> Yeah. >> Let's give it a go. >> Basically, you accumulate points by just.

picking the best fantasy year of You. have to Go ahead, Jason. You might be. able to do better. >> Yeah. You're trying to pick the the best. season of a player from whatever team. shows up and it's from when fantasy. football started. Yeah. >> Yeah. [laughter] Yes. >> How long has fantasy football been. around? >> I think like the '9s. It seems like like. late '9s, early. >> 2000. >> Early 2000s is when they're dating this. back because there's a lot of players. that we were hoping for that they didn't. >> Travis picked EMTT Smith, but it was not.

from like prime EMTT Smith years. It was. unfortunately. >> Yeah. and you have like positions and. you only get to get you only get to pick. one like so if you have a tight end. let's say and the and you pick like the. Chiefs for that position like that's you. don't get to pick another tight end in a. sense but you get two flexes so. technically you can I'm going to stop. confusing you I think the game explains. itself [laughter]. >> Houston Texans oh jeez. >> you also get one pass if you want to.

phone a friend too. >> yeah you guys might have to help me out. with Who? Let's build it together. I'm. trying to think. >> So, I'm thinking receiver TR, who do you. think? Houston Texans. >> Maybe Andre Johnson, Aryan Fosters, a. running back that was that might have. had a bunch of touchdowns. Touchdowns. are king. Touchdowns are king. Your. flex, you can have a running back, wide. receiver, or a tight end. >> So, it's kind of it's kind of like you. want to. >> I don't know. >> You kind of want to I I feel like you.

want to save the flex positions a little. bit because used to there being a. defense on your fantasy team, which I. like obviously hated. I wish it was. Don't the [laughter] Didn't the. >> usually have a good defense? They. usually had a good defense. Yeah. >> This year I think they're like one of. the statistically like one of the best. defenses since the year 2009. Like they. >> very good. >> Okay, you guys pick on this one. I need. >> Andre Johnson. >> Andre [clears throat] Johnson. Andre. Johnson. >> Oh man. >> Oh, that was a good one. >> Not bad. Not bad. >> Buffalo Bills. Yeah,

>> you're a big Bills fan. I know that, right? hate the [laughter] Bills. >> Think think early Josh Allen era, though. Oh, yeah. You can also you can. also go Josh Allen for quarterback, too. I mean, he is a fantasy. >> He's a very good fantasy quarterback. >> Okay, let's put Josh Allen at. quarterback because if I do get the. Chiefs, obviously I I'm going to put. Traang. >> San Francisco. >> There's been a lot of good 49ers. players, haven't there? There hasn't. There have been, but. >> but you got to think of. >> Christian McCaffrey at running back. >> McCaffrey, do you already know? I was.

going to say. >> he racks up points. >> Yes, he does. >> Raiders. >> See, that's the thing. Is it going. Oakland, too, or is it just Vegas? >> This goes to Oakland for sure. >> You guys got this one. I'm not familiar. with the Raiders. The trap should be. considering we've played him twice. >> It's been a very rough rough goaround. for the Raiders since I've been in. >> So, you got running back, you'd be. Marshon Lynch was probably the best one, but he was better in Seattle. >> Yeah. I don't know if his numbers are.

>> bad with the Raiders. >> Any good receivers over there? >> Yes. Yes. Uh. >> why can't I think of his name? >> It's going to be a tough one if you. can't think of his name. >> I know. >> Brock Bowers had a hell of. >> I was going to say Brock Bowers, he had. a game where he had like 50 fantasy. points, but I don't know how he's done. the rest of the year. >> Yeah, he had like almost 200 yards and. three touchdowns in that game. I don't. know if that's going to be a a. >> probably worth. Yeah, last last year he. had a lot of. >> We need somebody that's had a solid. year. Should we pass? Should we pass? >> It's not a bad pass.

>> You get one pass. >> Who was the receiver on the the when. they won with Rich Ganon? Who was the. receiver? >> Tim Brown. >> Tim? Yes. >> I don't know if Tim Brown. Let's pass. Let's pass. Yeah. I don't know when. >> Yeah. >> Well, we're not picking tight end. We're. not picking tight end here. >> You also [laughter] did this. >> You also got to think You also got to. think you're probably going to get more. out of Tyreek Hill in this situation. We're not done. >> You might not. You might not. >> put him on there.

>> I just want to see what it is. >> I know. Me, too. >> That's [cheering] good. >> Look at that. Almost the same as Andre. Johnson. >> Got to get more touchdowns. >> All right. Commanders. >> Commanders. Oh, jeez. >> And we're looking for receivers uh or. running backs or tight ends. I guess you. can put a flex. >> Also, also football team. Also football. team. >> Also football team. [laughter]. I mean, McLaren had a good year last. year. Clinton Portoris. Who else? >> Clinton Portoris. That's a very good. poll. >> You guys are pulling some people I.

haven't heard of. [laughter]. >> Clinton Poris. Legend. He's a character. >> Okay, you guys pick this one. >> Jason, you got anybody else? >> I think you're right. I think Portoris. in the Flex is probably the right pick. >> That one's tough. >> Not great. Not great. That. >> not in the 300s is is a tough. >> It's not good. >> I think his best years were. >> I mean, you pick your poison here. You. got a bunch. Yeah, Jason, this is all. you. You should be able to get us the. most amount of points possible. >> I'm trying to think of who scored the.

most touchdowns. Like, that's really. what it comes down to. >> Shady, right? >> Well, Shady is definitely a great. choice. Uh Terrell Owens is I don't know. what his touchdowns were, though. >> Deshawn, I got Philly and I took Herz. Herz was a good quarterback for this. game. >> Yeah. >> Um I mean, running backs I feel like get. you the most points because they get the. most touchdowns. Deuce Staley. Um, Brian. Westbrook. >> I think it's I think Shady. I think. Shady is a good choice. Desawn McCoy. >> Let's see how many points he gets us. >> WE GO TERRELL. >> DO YOU WANT TO GO TERRELL with wide. receiver?

>> Let's get receiver out. Let's get. receiver out. Let's go Terrell Owens. >> All right, >> then we keep the flex alive. >> Oh my god. I've screwed us. I've screwed. us. >> Chargers. >> Chargers. Who is Antonio Gates? Uh, no. LT. >> LT. That's an easy one. >> This might This might. >> This is gonna be huge. >> Does it beat the high score? >> Is that a good score? >> Oh, it is a very solid score. Very solid. score. >> Who has the high score? >> Brandon, he plays this game all day, though. He knows exactly.

>> That's not bad. >> Brandon, where did we go wrong? Brandon, where did we go wrong? >> Technically, Jake, I think, has got me. beat by a little bit. Uh, I think the. picks you might want to rethink would. have been Andre Johnson. You could have. gone Aren Foster. Terrell Owens, you. should have gone Saquon. >> Yeah, but Saquon Washington. Saquon wouldn't have gotten screwed up. >> Saquon wouldn't have got as many points. as LT though. >> No. So, yeah, it's kind of a pick your. poison there. The tough one is when you. get Washington. I'm just going to be. honest. That's.

>> the Raiders. >> Terry, I think Terry McLaren might have. a little higher than Clinton Poris. >> Yeah, that was the other name we threw. up. >> Dang. All right. >> The Kelsey pick's actually really good. though. >> Is this just online? I'm going to make. people circle. >> I was about to say Yeah. Yeah. NFL. Perry.com. Sorry, I've ruined your life. [laughter] This is. >> I'm gonna be like this all night. >> There's multiple apps. Is there a. basketball version of this? >> I think so. >> There's got to be. >> That's kind of fun. >> Guy who made this game? I know you. watched the show. Make a basketball one. >> Jason, do you want to open that gift? >> Jason, you want to open the gift? >> Can I open the box you sent us on. Christmas? Is that all right? And.

technically, I was told I was supposed. to open this on Christmas, but I screwed. that up. So, I figured let's open this. right now live on air. >> Oh, yeah. You should have had your girls. open it for you. >> GIRLS, [laughter]. >> are they getting into any sports yet or. anything? >> Um, so they've done soccer. Gymnastics. is the one they like the most right now. >> Soccer is like always the first sport. that kids play. Like just go send them. out there and like run around.

>> I feel like early on trying to do like. coordination, right? Like. >> dance, gymnastics, runaround, kickable. We got like one of the What are those? Uh what are like the little papa shots? We've done that. >> Oh, nice. >> Yes, >> that's cute. >> Have they gotten their first field. hockey stick yet is the question. >> Oo, field hockey, isn't it's huge in. Philly, isn't it? >> Yeah, Kylie. Kylie is a huge. >> Iowa actually had a really good field. hockey program. >> Really? >> Yeah. Which is like shocking, but like. Yeah. Huge.

You are wearing the perfect. attire. Come down here. [laughter]. >> Oh, no. >> All right. [laughter].

She's got the talent. >> Yeah, [laughter]. Kylie can throw a ball. We were on the. beach. She might have a better arm than. I do. It is crazy. >> Those rotator cuffs. >> Yeah, exactly.

the NHL is bringing the Winter Classic. to South Florida. [laughter]. Ice and Florida doesn't sound like it's. going to work, but outdoor hockey in. Miami in January. We're going to have to. tune in to see how they pull this one. off. Yeah, you got the two-time. defending champs, Florida Panthers, and. friend of the show, Matthew Kachchuck, taking on the New York Rangers, one of. the original six teams in the NHL. >> And the uniforms for this game are. legit. >> Oh yeah, >> that's right. The Panthers are dropping. a new look that mixes those old school.

Florida hockey vibes with the nods to. their history. >> Love it. Yeah. And the Rangers are. rolling out the special Centennial. jersey inspired by the early days of the. franchise. It's going to look different, feel a little different, and it's one. you don't want to miss. >> Watch the Discover NHL Winter Classic. January 2nd at 700 p.m. Eastern on TNT. True TV and HBO Max. Hockey being played. outdoors is just something special. >> Dude, if I could go, I'd be there. >> Check it out. All right, Trav, now that. you've seen the video evidence of me.

jumping and attempting to dunk, what do. you think of the chance? >> You're further away than I thought you. were, [laughter] dude. I'm not going to. lie, man. But I will say this. I will. say this. You are jumping like you've. never jumped before in your life. Not. like. >> I'm like No, you look like a baby deer. jumping. >> Like like we need to get you. We need to. get That's what I was saying. You're. very uncoordinated. We need to get you. into like the the good gather step into. the power jump with two right now. You're you don't have the like right. mechanics.

>> The athleticism is so bad. It just went. so quick. >> You're naturally quick when you found. out the fundamentals for the cone drill. you set the record in the combine. So, it's like, >> we just need you to get you have the. power. You're up there. We got the. slow-mo replay to help us see that. you're up there. We just got to get you. to time it up right and get the. fundamentals right. >> So, we did do the vertic. Here's what's. crazy. You know the vert. Where you like. stand and jump and touch the things? So, from standing like not moving and.

jumping, >> how [snorts]. are you getting over? I'm over 10 foot. just standing. >> Yeah, dude. Yeah, that's fine. You need. to get a basketball in the hoop. probably say you need to get to like 10. 106. >> 106 makes sense, but I think you need to. get a little higher. >> Here's what's crazy though. Just. standing and jumping, I'm over 10 foot. Running and jumping and doing the same. test. I only got like an inch and a half. higher. Like I should be able to gain. more height by running and jumping. Right. >> You would think, but I think it's it's. all dependent upon your body like type.

and your athleticism. Right now, you're. just an athlete. You're a powerful. athlete. >> That's what I'm saying. If I get more. efficient, if I get more efficient at. it, I should be able to. >> get that higher, right? >> I would say you're going to produce more. momentum, which will then get you. higher. Yes. But I think for a guy like. you, you really only need two to three. steps into a good powerful base. I'll. put together a tutorial and I'll get. back to you and I'll I'll help you with. some of the gather steps into the power. >> There's an Instagram clip that talks.

about the penultimate step, which I. think is what you're talking about, where they do this, gather. That's why I. wanted to ask Caitlyn about the I've. heard about the penultimate step and. just she was like. >> that would have been the best. She would. have laughed in your face. >> What? [laughter]. >> I'm going deep into this. >> Oh no. She's She's a pro. She might She. might have known. >> I've been looking up Jordan drills. Did. you ever do Jordan drills? >> You're barking up the wrong tree. >> You're going down the wrong road. You. need to follow too much. >> You need to follow the fat boy rule. All. right. You're not Jordan. You don't have.

an ounce of Jordan in you other than the. heart, the courage, and the dog. >> Where do I get the CC1s at? >> That's a question for Caitlyn. I don't. know when they're coming out. >> Is there any way I can get a prototype. size. 14 in the next 30 days? >> Let's think about this. Who jumps. higher, Michael Jordan or Kaitlin Clark? Want the Caitlin Clarks or you want the. Michael Jordans? >> Honestly, I want the Caitlin Clarks. [laughter]. >> Let's get into this. Week 17 of the NFL. season. How's that sound, Trav? >> That's right. Bull topics brought to you.

by Xfinity, the most reliable fiber. powered Wi-Fi. >> You played on Christmas Day. >> I did. And Christmas games are always as. magical as they sound. Ben, >> it looked magical. >> Arrowhead was rocking. The stadium was. packed. Broncos fans were there. Chiefs. fans were there. Everyone was having a. merry old time. Obviously, we didn't. come out with the win, but man, was it. it was a fun night. I'm proud of the the. gang that that we had in Red out there. trying to figure it out. and uh and come.

away with the victory. Obviously down a. lot of big big names. Um but uh led into. the game by my guy Chris Oladukan. Man, >> we were playing some golf earlier this. off season. I was looking forward to. seeing him sling it a little bit. >> That's right. Yeah, Chris is he's he's. an awesome guy. He's been on the team. for a while now and finally getting his. opportunity to get some uh some NFL. experience, man. And it's just fun. You. know what it's like. And I and honestly, I haven't had this feeling of like. seeing a young guy at quarterback living. out his dream, just excited to be in the.

moment. Like, we would come off the. field and you could just see, man, this. [laughter] guy was loving every single. moment, even even through the good or. the bad. And it was just it was awesome. to get out there and and rock with him, man. And I was just proud of the way he. handled the the situation, handled the. moment, obviously. Uh no turnovers, and. just gave us a chance to win at the end. >> He did. He did. What I I want to ask you. this because a lot of times like when. you're on to the third string. quarterback usually a guy that hasn't. had a lot of reps with the ones. How. many I mean I know he's been there for a. while but how many times have you caught.

a ball from Chris? >> I'm a guy I'm a busy body at practice I. like to get some work in. So during. >> defensive periods, things like that. I'm. I'm usually around all the quarterbacks. So it wasn't the first time I'd ever. caught a pass from him here or there. like I've at least seen it come out of. his hands and and you know throughout. the week have worked with him enough uh. to to where it wasn't surprising seeing. the ball come out of his hands. >> Nice. Nice. >> He throws a good ball and uh on top of. that, man, he's uh he's a gamer. He's.

going to go out there and he's going to. have some fun. I call it the Chris O. experience, baby. The Oladukan. experience, you know, know what's going. to happen. He's got that exciting. playmaking ability. Yeah. because he's. got he's he's he's a mobile quarterback. and he can get out of the pocket and he. keeps his eyes downfield when he does. and he showcased a little bit of that. this uh this past Christmas. >> Ola Duke and I'm playing with Travis. I. mean, yeah, he's the greatest tight end. of all time. I'd be a fool not to lean. on him a little bit and he was just. great the whole game. >> Wish I could have been there for him a. little bit more, but uh he still played. his ass off. >> A little more. It was like and the.

entire two-minute drive was throw the. ball to the big yeti. >> Yeah. And I thank the Chiefs, you know, for uh getting a little Travis Chant. going for for [laughter] me there. I. think Coach Reed heard what the people. wanted and uh. >> man, if you guys could have done that, you know, the first like 12 years of my. career, that have been awesome. >> Uh no, I'm kidding. Uh Coach Reed's. always dialing me up. And it's just. whether or not the defense is is the. right defense for me to get the ball. But it was uh it was fun that uh that. Chris was, you know, trying to find me.

knowing uh it was a fun little. two-minute drive till we did till we. came up short. >> One more game left in this season and. you're headed to Vegas. What is uh how. we feeling heading into this one? >> It's Vegas, man. It's Raiders Raiders. week, man. It's always uh no matter what. the score is, obviously two teams where. we know our season ends after this. Sunday and you're just playing for the. love of the game and and the honor of. wearing the uh the Chiefs helmet um in a. fierce rivalry, man. And I know uh we've. already beat him once. We gave him a. goose egg and they're going to be ready. for this one. They're going to be. excited for this one. And I know Pete.

Carol is going to have the those guys uh. fired up and ready to rock and roll. knowing how motivating he is and they're. at home where they're comfortable and um. and uh yeah, I'm excited to go out to. Vegas and uh and finish this year off. >> Yeah. Well, you guys will be playing. them without Max Crosby who has. unfortunately been placed on IR which. with what appears to be a devastating. injury. I don't know if you saw this. Instagram uh video of him uh really. going through it, but we can play that. right now. It's a shame, you know, he's.

just so hampered. You hate seeing it. [laughter]. >> That boy's a baller. That boy's a. baller. >> Oh, terrible defense. >> Yeah, we got to get in the stance. We. got to get in a better stance than that. >> Oh, good. Good effort though. Good. energy. Look at him, [laughter]. >> dude. I've seen a bunch of clips of Max. balling, man. Max can play. >> I think what's more clear here is that.

Max probably is not hampered with much. of an injury and that the Raiders are. probably tanking. >> Michigan guy, man. He just loves He. loves to play play the game of. basketball, man. >> That's fair. I shouldn't lead to such. conclusions. >> It's unfortunate. Him and Brock Bowers. both uh on IR. Um Brock, unbelievable. player. I know he's got to get some. stuff uh fixed and I know Max has got to. get some stuff fixed, but two fierce. competitors I guarantee you'll be back. out there next year rocking and rolling. >> Trev, congrats on another Pro Bowl. selection. Way to go, Big Yeti. What. number is this for you?

>> 10 maybe. >> You hit a decade. You've been in the Pro. Bowl for a decade. Jesus, Travis. Well, you led fan voting for the second year. in a row. >> I think that's what got me in. >> I It does count for a large chunk. I. used to think that too, but I think I've. seen somebody win the fan vote and not. get in before. I think I saw that one. time. Anyways, um Creed Humphrey, Chris. Jones, and Trey Smith are also in um Oh, this is also your 11th Pro Bowl. So, you've actually been in so many times. you've forgotten how many times you've. been in. [laughter].

>> You've played in what, one Pro Bowl? I. think I was at it too in Hawaii. >> I played in two. I played in one with. UNL Orlando. >> We played against each other. >> We did. We did. Was that the following. year? >> Yeah, it was the first year it was in. Orlando. >> It was 20 It was 2016. That's what year. it was. >> Yep. >> And you were in Hawaii. What? 2014 or. 15? >> It was 15. So the year of 14, season of. 14, 15 in Hawaii, and then the season of. 16.

>> or 15 in Orlando in 16. >> cuz I went when the Pro Bowl was in. Arizona. Then I went back to Hawaii. Hawaii for a year where you went. We. both went out there together. I. personally thought I got snubbed for. that Arizona Pro Bowl, but it's. whatever. I was still worked. I got. snubbed. I got snubbed the year before. >> There were a few guys that got snubbed. last year that I got snuck in there. >> It happens every year. I the year that. we played against each other in Orlando. I had one of the worst years of my. career. When they said, "You're an. alternate for the Pro Bowl." And then. they said, "Hey, the other two guys are. out. You're in the Pro Bowl." I was. like, "This is [ __ ] crazy. [laughter].

I do not deserve to be here at all. I'll. be there.". >> I won the Pro Bowl MVP. Got the car with. a whopping 33 yards and one touchdown. and two first downs. >> Wow. >> Had a fake field goal that got me three. yards on a first down. Got a deep cross. thrown to me by Andy Dalton the Red. Rocket. Go Andy. Um and that was it. >> Congratulations on uh making the Pro. Bowl. Trev, you want to move on to some. other NFL news?

>> Yeah, let's move on to Eagles Bills. What a showstopper. It actually was an. entertaining game. It was there was a. lot of [ __ ] going on. >> Crazy second half. >> Jaylen Herz, Josh Allen. Got to see. prime time football. [ __ ] love it. Um. and it was only Eagles 13, Bills 12. And. it came down to the last two-minute or. yeah, last last minute drive with Josh. Allen and a two-point conversion. >> I mean, it's a great win. They beat the. Eagles beat the Bills who are a lot of. people saying the number one uh favorite.

out of the AFC. A lot of people think. that it's Josh Allen's year. So for the. Eagles to go into Buffalo and win this. game just shows, you know, how good the. Eagles are. Do you know how tough it is. to beat the best team in the AFC? Some. people are saying, some people are. saying, do you know how hard it is to. beat that team while you don't get a. single pass completion in the second. half? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS? THAT'S HOW GOOD THE EAGLES ARE. That's. how good we are. Philadelphia.

>> They went 0 for in the second half. >> It's actually the second time we've won. a game this year without completing a. pass in the second half, which is. remarkable. >> What? >> That's how good we are, bro. >> This offense is too [ __ ] good, dude. That is insane. >> It is. It's kind of crazy. >> I was watching the game. I didn't even. notice that. >> It's just like three and out and then. before you know it, you've had like I. think they only had like 17 plays in the. entire second half. >> So, yeah. Not good. not good and most of.

it listen I think I thought Jaylen. actually played pretty good so that stat. kind of you would think would be. quarterback driven. >> and they were. >> rainy game we're running the football. had the lead. >> but the run game I mean it was like it. was bad bad and especially in the second. half and not just like these like two to. three yard runs but like negative runs. where you're in second and 12 you're in. second and 13 and I just you know it was. a very frustrating frustrating game to.

watch offensively to say the least. >> Buffalo's got some guys with some motors. on that D line, man. They can be. disruptive, man. Tall guys, long arms. >> The Eagles have been trending better in. running the ball, right? They've did. they did well against the Raiders. They. did well against the Commanders. This is. their chance to do it against a team. that is going to be in the playoffs. And. it was a little frustrating seeing the. performance to be honest with you. And. credit to the Bills. I thought they did. some things. They kept putting the. safety down and then they blitzed from. the other side and it messed him up a.

number of times. They were slanting the. front and that was throwing them off. It's just, you know, these are things. that you would hope they'd be able to. handle at this time of the year. And it. was a frustrating game to see them have. opportunities to have plays, right? Like. you get a you're running outside zone. away from a nickel pressure that has a. chance to be a gash if you block it up. right. But because they're not on the. same page, the because the safety. showing he's down over here, the tight. end tackler going to the safety, the.

backside knows the nickel pressure is. coming. They're boxing. Nobody's. blocking the middle linebacker. >> Yeah. >> Like I'm like, what are we doing, guys? >> Yeah. >> And it's communication like that. Guys. are being let run free. Like was there a. Did we zone this off? Why is nobody. blocking the the three technique? Why is. it's just it was a it was [snorts] not a. great performance collectively up front. to be honest with you and that was it's.

frustrating as a former offensive. lineman a guy in that room and like. knows how good all those players are. where it's like dude we we got to be. better than this boys. >> listen good teams find a way to win. those games when they're not at their. best and and that's what Philly did man. >> well the positive is we we held Josh. Allen the best rushing attack like we we. weren't great against Chicago right. Chicago ran all over us. >> We go out there against James Cook and. Buffalo who's had a great ground game. all season. >> Oh yeah. >> And we performed really well. >> Yeah. >> Have a great goal line stand. Fourth.

down. Keep Josh Allen out of the end. zone. Great tackle by Zack Bond. Blocked. field goal. Like the defense played out. of their mind and that's the positive. coming out of this thing. >> I'll tell you what, going into that last. drive though, man, it just looked like. prime. Josh Josh Allen, man. guys showed. some resilience, showed some fight, showed some heart knowing that he's he's. got the foot issue right now. And um or. that looked like he got rolled up pretty. good in there and uh just fighting. through everything. And I know he's. kicking himself. You could see him. kicking himself uh after that uh that.

two-point conversion. >> Um but I've been there and uh and you. already know he's going to learn from it. and keep it moving. >> What do you think of the two-point. conversion call? We were talking about. this on Monday Night Countdown. What. What do you think of Mcderman's choice? What? You got [ __ ] Josh Allen. Are. you kidding me? Every time. Every time, man. >> Not even think about it. >> The Eagles had like two first downs the. second half. You don't feel comfortable. going into overtime? >> I feel so comfortable with a guy like. Josh Allen in the ball in his hands and.

two yards to get. >> They had already had a goal line stand. in the exact same two yards. >> That's why I might be the worst head. coach of all time. It's just I'm Dude, I'm like I'm putting it. [laughter] Are. you kidding me? What do we I could end. it here that No, I'm I got ball players. >> Yeah, I'm kind of just messing around. >> Honestly, if he's a mobile quarterback, I'm feeling even more confident cuz. there's the threat if you drop everybody. and all that. It's like he could still. find a way to to run it in or get out of. the pocket and make something shake. So,

>> when you make this decision, it's always. going to be damned if you do, damned if. you don't. If it doesn't work out, everybody's going to say it was the. wrong call. If if you make it the play, the play was open. Like, it's there, right? Just missed the throw. And you. could play devil advocate and say, you. know, they just blocked a field goal. before that. They just blocked the extra. point or whatever before that. >> The one thing that I thought was. interesting that we kind of got to on. the desk last night was I think it's. actually probably a better call that. they went for it too because like at. some point like this, everybody's saying. this is Josh's year to try and go win.

this thing, right? Mahomes is out of it. Uh, you know, uh, Burrow's out of it. >> Anytime Josh Allen's playing the game of. football, it's his year. that guy, he's. got that ability. >> As with anything, the more reps you get. in certain scenarios, usually the better. and more comfortable you are operating. him in the future. So now, like. obviously this one didn't work out for. Josh. He didn't he's got gets pressured. on his right, he's moving to his left, tries to make the throw, and it's a. little bit off target in terrible. conditions. This is this same scenario.

might come up in a got to have it moment. in the playoffs. And now this entire. team has had a rep of this and the maybe. they feel even more comfortable now. repping it again when it matters most. So that was another reason I thought you. know what maybe I'm kind of more on. board than I thought with Mcderman. deciding to go for it. So in the end I. kind of agree with you. >> Eagles got the Commanders at home for. the last game in of the season and uh. I'm sure the link will be rocking for. that one. Um could move up to the second. seed with a win and the Bears losing.

>> losing which could happen. They're going. to be playing Detroit. Uh the Eagles. will probably be resting starters. Like. I don't think that we're going to see a. lot of significant players playing in. this one. >> Feel like we had a game like this and. like me like the coach came in and it. was like we're we were heavy in the in. the first half to where the where where. we had a comfortable lead or like we and. then we we let all the other games kind. of play out and see where they were at. at half. And so who knows? We did the. same thing in 2023 when uh I was uh my.

last year and we decided to go out. against New York because we wanted to. get some momentum going offensively. because we weren't playing great and we. ended up getting AJ Brown hurt to where. he couldn't play in the playoff game. >> Jaylen got his finger banged up. Like it. was catastrophic. So, I am fully on. board with do not risk getting anybody. Anybody you don't want and are not going. to be happy about missing for that. playoff game. Sit them on the bench. If.

you don't if unless you have a chance to. get the one seed, I don't give a crap. who you're playing. Take the rest when. you can get it. I believe the Rams have. already said that they're going to go in. playing to win, right? So, they're going. to be playing starters. Uh San Francisco. and Seattle are going to be playing to. try and get the one seed. Got huge. >> That's huge. So, the Eagles have a. chance to rest and then play a team from. the West Coast likely who's going to be. traveling to the East Coast. and you're going to play them on a week.

where they just played previously and. you've gotten a weak arrest. >> That's a weak arrest. Yeah, >> I think that's a big advantage and I. would take that if I was the Eagles. >> The reality of it is is that you can't. just rest everyone. So, guys are going. to be out there playing. So that you got. to be. >> you got to be kind of smart with the. position that you're putting your guys. in and at the same time you you still. want to go out there and win the. football game and and give yourself a. chance at the two seed. >> I'm going to be honest, too. I think. resting some guys, we can still win this. game against Washington. I'm not trying. to.

>> Washington. It's football, man. Anything. can happen no matter who's out there. Look at San Fran right now. They're. [ __ ] rocking and rolling and they've. had the worst of kind of injuries. Yeah, that was a crazy game. We're I was that. was my that was my biggest surprise of. the year is that Sam Fran is competing. for the NFC title. They've lost for best. Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, uh uh their. starting quarterback has been out for. eight games. Brock Py's missed. They've. missed George KD for a lot of the. season. Trent Williams went down last uh. last week in the first play of the game.

So like the fact that these dudes are. still like 12 wins competing for the NFC. title like is nuts. Kyle Shanahan. >> and you got to give John Lynch some. credit too. Built in a deep roster able. to overcome it, right? >> Yeah. >> Like if they don't have M. Jones, maybe. they aren't sitting where they're at, right? But they go and get him in the. offseason. He plays well when Brock goes. down. I mean, it's been this is probably. the most impressive season I've seen. from the 49ers just with all of these. things factored in, right? Like it's. crazy. like they've had a super team and.

like of course they've been successful. with a great coach and great players, but this this year the fact that they've. still been this consistently good with. all of the injuries and uh you know. adversity they've had to overcome very. impressive. >> A big week 18 games coming up. Broncos. Chargers could uh decide the the one. seed that is if Denver wins they clinch. the number one seed and uh Chargers have. said they are resting their starters. So, I wouldn't just go in there uh lolly. gagging around. I know um Harball's.

going to have them boys fired up and. ready to rock and roll, >> no matter who's out there rolling. And. Trey Lance, Trey Lance, he's he's come. in and he's shown he's got some spark. >> Um Sunday Night Football Steelers Ravens. winner wins the AFC North. >> loser eliminated from the playoffs. That. is going to be a fun game to watch. Old. school AFC North win to get in. ARE YOU. KIDDING ME? DOG. That [ __ ] gets me fired up, man. Reminds me of the Raffthllessberger in.

[ __ ] uh Ray Lewis days, man. >> I'm going to watch the game just cuz I. always get excited to watch the Steelers. or Ravens play and I'm an a I grew up in. the AFC North, baby. You already know. >> But like I don't Let's be honest. Are. either of these two teams going to be. competing for it at the end of the day. this year? Like it's kind of like the. NFC South where. >> I don't know. The Steelers were looking. pretty good before DK got suspended, though. They were having a good finish. to the season. Darnell Washington's out. too, man. That dude, 300lb tight end. running the seams. >> He's a beast.

>> And Ravens not sure if Lamar Jackson is. playing or not. >> If Derrick Henry and you got Patrick. Bard leading the way and they're running. like they did last week, I mean, it that. was an impressive performance by those. guys. >> Yeah, but Lamar Jackson is Lamar. Jackson. If he's playing, it's. completely different game. Uh Saturday, Bucks Panthers. If the Panthers win, they're in. Well, they've done. everything they can to not get in. [laughter]. >> They've lost twice to the Saints, right? Like, it's. >> the the fact that this conference, this.

division is still up for grabs is. bonkers. >> The Bucks, who I love, I mean, the Bucks. are my favorite team coming into the. season and they have fallen off a cliff. They've had injuries all season. They. haven't played great down the stretch. here. Baker is one of my favorite. quarterbacks in the league. It has not. been a great second half of the season. for the Bucks. Panthers have had every. opportunity the last few weeks to clinch. this thing. Not even playing like top. opponents in a lot of this stuff and. they they just refuse to clinch it. It's.

nuts. It is crazy. Uh so yeah, we're. going to see Bucks and Panthers duke it. out to see who comes up on the NFC. South. I will always root for the Bucks. I love Todd BS. I love Baker Mayfield. >> Well, the Bucks are going to need the. Saints to beat the Falcons on Sunday and. a win uh against the Panthers. themselves. >> Yeah. And I'll tell you what, they got. they got guys to where if the Bucks get. in and they get rolling that that's a. team you can't take lightly. >> They've just been banged up and it's and. it's kind of hurt them all season long.

and they haven't been themselves. Offensive line, they've had a bunch of. injuries. They've lost I think every one. of their skill position players have. been down at some point between Evans, Godwin, uh Ibuka, Irving, like all of. them at some point have gone gotten. hurt. know it's it's been a rough year. for those guys. >> Yeah. >> And you can see the frustration in some. of the press conferences from Todd BS. and you know hopefully they can they can. get in there because I love those guys. and either way uh looking forward to. this one.

>> and uh we got a hell of a showdown on. Saturday night, baby. The flex game is. Niner Seahawks. The winner of the NFC. West actually wins the number one seed. in the NFC. So, uh, the winner of the. Niners Seahawks game is, uh, is, you. know, gets to play all their games at. home. >> The Seahawks defense is absurd. The the. I mean, there's really three defenses. have been the best in the NFL in my mind. this year. And it's the Seahawks, Houston, and I'm going to go with the. Eagles. I think those three teams have. been like their defense has won them so.

many games. >> You could throw Denver up there, too. >> Yeah, that's fair. That's fair. The. Niners offense is rolling. I could see. this going either way. I really could. I. do kind of lean Seahawks just because of. how great their defense is. I don't. think the Niners are gonna come by. points as easily as they have the last. few weeks. And I think Darnold will be. able to put up a good showing against. this Niners defense that's been banged. up. >> Seahawks got two Cleveland guys. One. Cincinnati Bearcat and Kobe Bryant. You. kidding me, man? AJ Barner tight end.

>> Let's go. I'm just kidding. >> What about What about you? Kyle's a. Cleveland guy. >> Cleveland guy. Madina guy. >> Yeah. >> Harvard guy. George KD, tight end. >> Yeah, I'm just gonna watch it for the. love of it. You're right. >> Yeah, I'm gonna just thoroughly enjoy. this game. [laughter] The Niners have. been there and they've been so great for. so long, although they've had adversity. >> Oh, I thought you were talking about the. Niners. Um. >> Oh, no, no, no. Sorry. Well, I was just. saying the Niners have been there. before. Excited about that? Probably. not. [laughter].

>> Dude, think about this. Sam Darnold was. in a week 18 game to clinch the number. one seed last year. And that game. followed by the playoff game is. essentially why he wasn't brought back. in Minnesota, right? >> That's crazy. >> And now all of a sudden he's in the. exact same scenario week 18 and he's. done the exact same thing to another. team in Seattle. >> Pay that man. >> Well, I just wanted to I kind of want it. to work out for him. >> That's awesome. And he's a good dude. >> Is there a lot of scoreboard watching in. week 18? There definitely is. Like the. Eagles will be watching the game in.

Chicago most likely, right? Any team. that is been conveniently scheduled at. the same time by the league office. because they know that the seating and. placements matter, there will be people. watching the scoreboard all game long. for sure. >> Unless you do what the Panthers did last. week and you don't show any games on the. scoreboard. >> Oh wow. Dave Canales. >> I'm pretty sure we did that as well. uh. in a situation where the Patriots were. playing the Dolphins and um and Kevin.

Haron, one of the best ever in my. opinion. I [ __ ] love that guy. Um. might be a little biased because he's a. Kansas City guy, but um also uh no, he's. a legend. And um he was calling he was. literally calling both games at the same. time on the Chiefs broadcast. He was. watching the Dolphins game, calling that. game. a play would happen in the Kansas. City game, he'd call that. Dude, it was. awesome. >> It's just a beast. >> Yeah. And then you just randomly heard. everyone in the stands start going nuts.

because the Ryan Fitz Magic and the uh. and the Miami Dolphins found a way to. beat uh Brady and the Patriots and we. got the one seat. >> I never felt like watching the. scoreboard took me out of the current. game. Like I was just like, "All right, what's the score? Ooh, we can if we Hey, boys, if we go really hard for this next. quarter and win this game, we're in." I. think the the reason is because you. should be thinking that regardless. >> I guess I'm maybe I'm just not against. scoreboard watching. What's wrong with. scoreboard watching? >> Shout out to his magic, baby. I got to. see him during the Christmas game last. week. That was awesome. >> Which quarterback had the best O line.

Christmas gifts? Caleb Williams gifted. his offensive lineman Bayga Vanetti and. uh Don Julio. >> Bautga Vanetta. >> What's Bautga Vanetta? >> It's a really really nice brand. Um I. have a few of their bags. It's awesome. They're awesome. It's a bag. >> They do everything. They make clothes, the sunglasses to. >> It's It's like a Louis Vuitton. >> Yeah, it's very similar. They got Well, in terms of like brand recognition and. everything, >> bring a pull up, but take a duffel bag. Give him some free advertising right.

now. Sounds like they need it. >> That's what you pull up. That's what you. pull up, Brandon. >> YOU THINK I'D BE INTO THAT? >> I SAID A DUFFEL. I told you a duffel. bag. >> YOU THINK I'M A [ __ ] MERSE? [laughter]. >> This is just the website. I said duffel. bag. You could have put Bayga Vanetta. duffel bag. >> If I pull up a company's website and. that is the first thing on the page, I. DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT THEIR DUFFEL. BAGS if they're making [ __ ]. >> You ruined this, Brandon. You completely.

ruined this. >> So travel bags you want me to click on. >> Oh my god. Just don't get out of the. website. >> What the [ __ ]. >> What's next? What else we got? Jacobe. Brassette Christmas gifts to the. Cardinals offensive line. Ramoa luxury. suitcase. Versace robe bond number nine. cologne. The guys are going to be. looking good, traveling, smelling good, traveling. >> Um, and uh, yeah, enjoying the nice. Versace robe. I went Versace robe one. year for uh, for a lot of the guys on. the team. I think it was tight ends and.

quarterbacks and running backs maybe. >> Okay. Okay. >> They got a they got a lot of good. versions, man. And luxury robes, man. You can't go wrong, dude. >> Josh Allen got his lineman one quarter. of a cow. That's a great That is a It's. a great gift for an O lineman. It's. [laughter] a great gift, >> dude. >> As long as you got a deep freezer. >> As I was about to say, as long as you. got a fridge full enough for a h for a. quarter of a cow. >> Yeah, >> that's hilarious, dude. >> We're eating beef. That's good stuff. right there. >> Beef. All in on the beef. Momes gave out.

Can. always appreciate a nice custom golf.

Hell yeah. That's [ __ ]. badass. >> Think can you get after it? >> Hell yeah. >> Yeah, man. >> Oh, here we go. Here's a video. Oh, no. I'm wrong. These things are souped up. >> Yeah, that thing is. >> They're more like. >> they're more dumb buggy-ish, >> dude. That thing is sweet. >> Joe Burrow gave his offensive lineman.

actual prehistoric fossils. This is a. first. A for creativity, Joe. >> Would you How would you feel if you got. a fossil? I would be so [ __ ] excited. Are you kidding me? >> You're into fossils? You're a big. natural history museum guy. >> A [ __ ] the the the bones of a decayed. animal from millions of years ago. I. would love that. >> Nice. All right. So, you're not a flat. earth guy. You believe that the earth. has been around that long? Nice. >> Last year, Burough gifted his O lineman. an authentic Japanese katanosaur. I saw. that last year. Joe's creative with the. gifts. He's a good giftgiver. I like.

this. >> Tom Brady uh and his team went. undefeated the undefeated year. I forget. what year it was. This is like 08, 09, somewhere around there. And uh Brady um. got his entire offensive line um new. brand new SUVs, but the kicker was that it was a. one-year lease. >> Ooh. [laughter]. >> So what? So they just had to give them. back? >> I don't know if there was an option to. where they could pay they could pay the. rest to like buy it.

>> Well, it has to be, right? There's. always an option to buy. >> I thought that was absolutely hilarious. And Tom was on the broadcast talking. about beggars can't be choosers, which. [laughter] which dude that's which is. right, dude. You got to appreciate your. gift no matter what it is. If you got to. give it back. [laughter]. >> SUV for a year.
