If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, let's go. >> This show sticks [cheering] and the fact. that you listen, we are very very. thankful for. on the line with a.

gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers, you. >> stutter. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. Sports. >> Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to. another glorious feelgood football. Friday, November 13. Oh, Friday the. 13th. This sports program begins now.

>> Football. is the greatest in AJ. I am here in. Boise, Idaho in one of the most. beautiful and recognizable stadiums on. planet Earth. You know, in 1986, a. decision was made by then AD that he. wanted the turf to become blue. Astroturf, the company that was actually. creating all the turf for all the. stadiums, refused to do it. He continued. to push. He said, "You know what? I'll. have somebody else do it. How about. that? They inevitably end up making the. turf. And now you have one of the most.

recognizable stadiums in all of sport. Albertson Stadium here in beautiful. Boise sits right upon the foothills. outside of Chuck Bagano's backyard. This. place is gorgeous. The views just out of. a postcard. And the team that calls this. place home, they've won 90% of their. games here since the year 2000. Boise. State 14 and a half point favorite. against Oregon State who has Malik. Murphy, former Duke quarterback playing. for them with some studs across the. board. As Boise State continues to try.

their journey towards becoming a CFP. team, they say the scene tomorrow for. game day is going to be absurd. We. haven't been here, well, game day hasn't. been here since 2010. These are football. time. 29 years consecutively of winning. season football here for the Boise State. Broncos. cannot wait to see what this. place is about. And uh they let us use. the jumbo truck. And and if you Yeah, if you get a good. scan of this place, go ahead, Dennis. Go. ahead and give a good pano of this. place. It is uh it is an absolutely.

gorgeous. facility. And I think it's 36,000 I. think 40,000 somewhere in that line. Yeah. Huge sidelines. And they just. added the um they just added this side. that I'm in right here. It's called the. Foothills Club. I guess it's a multiple. multiple multiple million dollar. donation, you know, upgrades. We got. 1,200 sweet seats around here. This is. uh they love ball around here and it. feels like I'm kind of sitting on the. sun actually, you know, it is uh it is.

not necessarily like the most. comfortable um There we go. Let me get. myself There you go. >> Boom. It is not necessarily the most. comfortable uh sun positioning right. now, but it is a very comfortable town. We had uh bacon, sausage, egg, and. cheese croissant sandwiches this. morning. Fresh out of Chuck and Tina. Pagano's kitchen. >> Wow. >> Yeah, we had some Mai. We had a little. banana bread. We had a uh fantastic.

feelood morning for this feel-good. Friday. That's AJ Hawk, college football. national champion, Super Bowl champion, RDER Cup winner. The boys are also there. at the talks table at Boston Connor and. at Ty Schmidt and one half of a hammer. gone Cowboys AP Tone. Hey boys, we. weren't able to do a boost last night, but Cam Scatteraboo getting into the. paint felt obvious, especially after his. return. Now, there was going to be two. ways it was going to go for Cam after he. got benched for fumbling by John. Harbaugh a few weeks back. He was either. going to respond like a dog, like I.

think John Harbaugh thought he was, and. he went on did that Houston, he goes for. 120, tweaks his hamstring, misses the. game, comes back last night and puts on. a show for that New York Giants offense. JJ McCarthy throws for a bunch of yards. Cam Scataboo gets in the paint twice. Their defense isn't bad. And what. happens? The Commanders win. The. Commanders win the game. Jaden Daniels. alongside Stefan Diggs with a nasty tut. Nasty tud to win this thing. Walk out of. there. Still in the NFC East hunt, still.

in the conversation for the playoffs. And somehow the New York Giants lose a. game in which they play pretty good. football. Jaden Daniels throws two. interceptions in the fourth quarter, his. first two picks of the season. that. normally would write the story of an L. Instead, Washington, who are we, the. Commanders put a dub up and uh I'm. fascinated by what's going to happen. down the stretch for all these teams in. NFC East. But certainly the Commanders. who with Jaden Daniels back on the field. healthy, looks confident, two picks,

crazy defense, we didn't really talk. about too much until yesterday, you. start rattling off stats about this. crew, they hunt. Turnover differential. continues to be great for them. It's. just AJ, you picked the Commanders plus. three. It was hard for me to do that, especially in Metife with everything. happening. And uh you were right. Cover, moneyline, dub. What did you see from. the Commanders? What did you watch last. night? And who's in control of this NFC. East at this point, AJ? >> I mean, I think that is clearly up in. the air, the NFC East after the.

Commanders win last night. The Giants. would have had a chance to kind of stamp. it that they were the kings of the NFC. East if they won last night. But. honestly, what made me pick them was. what Jaden Daniels had not been doing. until last night. He threw two picks. last night. He hadn't he didn't have any. picks going into the game last night. So, I thought if they take care of the. ball, he'll find a way to scramble. around with some, you know, third and. six, third and eight situations, which. he he got some some last night. He uh. had some of those runs where he was. using his feet to elude defenders and. and get the first down. But I feel like. for him and for the Commanders, their.

whole their back was against the wall. This was it. It was pretty much win or. our season is screwed. We still have. hope now in Diggs with that that. touchdown with Diggs at the end was. awesome. Like whether you're a. Commanders fan, Giants fan, I know Bruce. is probably pissed seeing it. It was a. pretty uh amazing play that I think this. is one of those that they will replay. and we'll see this for years to come. >> Yeah. And I like that Stfan Diggs was. walking around letting everybody know. that he is him. You know, that's what he. was saying is I am him. I am him. And uh. he still is. And we didn't know I didn't.

really know what was going to come from. Stfan Diggs. after the trade deadline, your team's 25 and one. You know, you. you already have a builtup legacy and. career being a great football player. You didn't get traded out of town. How. will you respond? Stfan Diggs played his. ass off last night. And uh I I love that. this is the Stfan Digs that we're. seeing. Yesterday, I said earlier in the. year, it felt like this was the best. digs we've seen in years. He ends up. with a touchdown late in the fourth to. win a damn game. Jaden Daniels playing. great. Oh jeez. >> Bit of a gust. Yeah, it is. It did look.

a little gusty there. >> That could affect the game tomorrow. >> It could. >> Well, I'll tell you here in Boyce, he. there is a chance that the wind could. get in there, but watching Jaden Daniels. and Stefan Diggs on that offense operate. the way they did, that was uh I think. everything as a Commander fan you would. ever hope for coming into the year. And. McAffrey with the big brain on that. kickoff return. Jordan Sto hits a 60. plus yard, then hits a 14 y. I mean, there was just some there was some. commander stuff happening in the special. teams in situational football where you. go, "Wow, is that the same team that we.

we've seen over the past couple weeks. kind of trick off a couple games. Good. for the Commanders." Now, Ty, I will say. one of my favorite nights of last night. Uh, and Herb Street didn't really give. us a good cadence. We know we know Tony. would have if he was in there. Jameus. Winston came in there and emptied the. clip. I mean, even uh, who let the dogs. out? Hut, hut. I mean, Jameus Winston going. from the bottom of the barrel to draw. people off sides. Multiple formations.

and shifts. Really thought they were. going to snap the ball at some point. with the way he was talking. Is this the. best best cadence you've heard in a. while or worst cadence you've heard in a. while, Ty Schmid? >> Uh, I'm I'm going to have to go with. worse because it just Listen, if you're. going to do this, you know what the. reaction is going to be afterwards. You. got to pick it up. You got to pick it. up. You got to you got this has got to. be successful because if you're going to. let the dogs out and hoohoo hoo when you. follow that up with a hu.

you know just I mean it felt like we. were you know like N Rockchy was out. there coaching and we were uh we were. calling plays in the 1930s and I mean. listen I understand Jamus is a goofball. This is why we love him. You know we. love this type of stuff but when it. isn't successful and you end up losing. the game now he's going to get killed. for it. And I don't know if that's. necessarily fair, but that's the way it. goes. So, yeah, I think you have to put. this up there with one of the worst. cadences of all time. >> Harbaugh, you know, Harbaugh went to bat.

for him. He said it was part of the. cadence, you know. He said he said it. was part of the cadence, which I. appreciate. Let's go to one half of the. hammer. Cowboys AP Tone. Tone the over hits. There was no rain. What the hell's going. on? Are we just insane, Tone D? Yeah, as. someone who shockingly was on the under. uh last night and it was 3 nothing with. two minutes left in the first half and. then both teams scored touchdowns to end. that uh first half. That was kind of the. nail in the coffin. Now, you know, they. needed a late touchdown. Two go over in. that situation, but it did uh that was.

frustrating. That was unfortunate. Uh. but it was a great game all around. Yeah, it was not as sloppy as we thought. it would be. Herby sold us a false bill. of goods. I mean, it was pouring. There. was tornado. >> It wasn't just Herby, I don't think. You. know, I I think there's a chance that. that was everybody with eyes with that. thunder and lightning all damn day. But. we we did get a forecast from there that. maybe even there was going to be rain. gear on the sideline. And if that. happens, Paganetti told us, "Hey, listen, might as well go ahead and. hammer that under. No rain over hits,

Tone.". >> Yeah, it's unbelievable. Paganetti did. tweet if a uh one of the head coaches is. wearing the rain pants. Um it. traditionally goes under 75% of the. time. Dan Quinn was wearing the rain. pants. We were deep in the weeds last. night as far as what the total would be. It went over and the dog covered and the. public lost. Uh which is not a surprise. coming off of last week, but we will see. how it moves forward for this week 10. >> Yeah, AJ. Uh such a loss for DraftKings. this past weekend. They didn't even let. us have a boost, you know, like that.

That's good and bad, but that is. >> I mean, I feel like we still should have. been able to get the boost. I understand. that they may have gotten beaten down a. little bit, but we should still get it. >> Yeah. You know, and that give and take. in the text is in real time hilarious. You know, it's like, hey, can't believe. you guys got Cam Scaboo at uh plus money. right now. That's plus 125. That's what. we like. Guys coming back. Let's just. roll with that. We don't know about the. boost this week, boys. You know, we. don't know about the boost this week. And we're like, whoa, what do you mean? You like Cam Scatter? You guys are the.

ones that say it's plus 125, not us. Like, this is literally your book. Well, we got our teeth kicked in on Sunday, they said, you know, and just like a. sports book being that open about like I. tell you what, everybody thinks that. this is a big money. One one two bad. weekends can really offset a lot of. stuff. So, I appreciate that we're. starting to get a good grasp on what's. potentially about to happen. You more so. than all of us, AJ, as you start the. weekend 1 and0 against the spread. Couple stats that I uh found this. morning during my uh researching, if you.

will, of current NFL. AJ, I think you'll. find this interesting. I guess. quarterbacks are getting hit more this. year in drop backs than they've ever in. the past. It's like like 36%. I think. the Guardian had an article this morning. about it. It's like 36% pressures, 16%. hits every time they drop back. Are we. feeling that whenever we're watching. these games, AJ? It does feel like. there's more quarterback action. happening, doesn't it? I think. And is. that a compliment to the to the. defenses? What do we think that is? >> Yeah, I mean, I think maybe more. defenses are are bringing five and six.

more than they had in the past. I don't. know. You could run the numbers, I'm. sure, compared to what they've done the. last four to five years. But I guess. they're getting hit more, but the hits. are less lethal. Maybe you can't land on. them. Obviously, like we said, you can't. hit them up high. There's like a strike. zone. But I I think they know, defenses. know, like defensive coordinators know. these guys are too good. We can't let. them sit back there and pat the ball and. get their foot in the ground and and let. it fly. We got to get some pressure, especially off the middle and off the. edge if we can. >> Yeah. I uh I like where football's at. right now. Last night was a hell of a. game, man. Mhm.

>> That was a incredible game for two teams. that we thought were, you know, the NFC. East like this is what it is. NFL. delivers. Jaden Daniels played great. JJ. McCarthy. Okay, Con man. JJ McCarthy, he. throws for two. Throws a couple. touchdowns. Isaiah likely starts eating. Shout out to him. He helped me hit. He. was hooping with a underhand toss here. to Cam Scataboo in the first quarter. Is. JJ McCarthy going to make it as a New. York Giants quarterback? Is JJ McCarthy. close to winning another game for the.

New York Giants as their starting. quarterback? How do you feel that the. world feels about JJ as a New York Giant. con man? I. >> I I don't know if he's going to, you. know, be the starter going forward, but. it does feel like he's played himself. into that like Drew Lock category where. if JJ McCarthy is your backup QB, you. don't feel terrible about it, which is. crazy to think of, you know, our. thoughts about him before the season. compared to now. You know, I I. personally was impressed by a lot of the. plays. You talked about the magic to. Scataboo. That throw to Isaiah likely.

for the touchdown was unbelievable. He. It was a blitz. He had a guy in his face. right here and it is an absolute strike. across the middle between two. linebackers. So, as far as a JJ McCarthy. kind of roller coaster goes, I think. you're pretty high on him. I I honestly. wouldn't be pissed if he was my backup. quarterback. Now, I I don't know if you. want him for a full entire season just. because I don't know if you can rely on. him, you know, game on the line at the. end. Jamus is still coming in to do. stuff as the quarterback when it comes.

to the tush push and things, but I. honestly am higher on JJ McCarthy now. than I think I've ever been in my life. That play right there was remarkable. He. can run as well, which kind of got them. in trouble because on that third and. two, they decided to go with the JJ. McCarthy keeper that Sunny Styles just. completely sniffed out. I mean, this. play had no chance when Sunny Styles is. on the other side of the field. But as. far as a JJ McCarthy guy goes, you can. chalk me down as Drew Lock and JJ.

McCarthy are sympatico. They are in the. same vein for me. >> Sympatico, it's a great word. I love. that word and I agree. I'll view it the. same way. Funny though how the. conversation goes back to Kevin. O'Connell, you know, with JJ McCarthy. He wasn't able to work in Minnesota. Was. he about to start to work in New York. Giants organization the last couple. games not as great as it was the first. game whenever, you know, maybe people. weren't ready for him and then that. fourth quarter where he came in for the. final 11 minutes. Just a fascinating. tale there, especially with Jackson. Dart, another young quarterback in.

there. first year head coach John. Harbaugh trying to win games, trying to. win the NFC East despite an injury at. your best and important position. I. mean, he was spinning it kind of a. couple times. >> You know, there's a couple throws where. you wonder about like, is he elite arm. talent, you know, and I think we saw him. at the Rose Bowl make a couple throws. that were outstanding and then also a. couple throws where we wondered like, >> can he throw it? And then last night he. hit some age. He hit a couple in the.

>> scared. He's not scared to put it in a. tight window. We know that. Like that's. I I give him a lot of credit for that. Obviously, that touchdown to uh likely. was just absolutely threading the. needle. >> Yeah, the likely touchdown throw takes a. lot of courage, especially with somebody. in his face. And there's two guys there. You know, you got to really be able to. block out a lot of distractions to get. that throw. And then at the end of the. game, he said, "I I just I wanted to. put, you know, hopefully my playmakers. in a position to make a play where he. just hucked it down and bleak. neighbors." Now, that ends up not. working out for them with a guy in his.

face. But like if Malik Neighbors. catches this ball, which we could have. seen, which could have happened, you. know, incredible play here by West. Virginia's own Rul Douglas to kind of. put this thing away. But if Malik. Neighbors catches that football there, people are going to love that JJ gave. his guy a shot. >> Yeah. >> You know, like JJ gave his guy, his. number one guy, an opportunity to make a. play for his team. Instead, it's a pick. So, it's JJ McCarthy being a dumbass, you know, like that is just like such a. fine line in the NFL quarterback world, especially because all we need is a. first down. We don't need a Hail Mary.

yet, but if Malik catches that, which he. puts it in the area, you know, it's like. I like that he did that first. Joining. us now for a weekly segment, AJ. >> Okay. >> Is a man who's not a senior, he's a. junior, but damn, he's a good one. He's. got to be the best junior I've ever. seen, >> probably. There's princes around the world looking. to be king one day who are nowhere near. as established. >> and as competent at their gig. >> as this junior NFL insider for ESPN and.

NFL Network. A man is here for the. weekly wrap-up with rap sheet and. friends. Us being the friends, he being. rap sheet, ladies and gentlemen and. rapool. >> What's up, Prince? >> What's up, dude? >> What's happening? >> You know, I'm pretty good. I'm pretty. good. Life is pretty good. I uh I'm out. here in Boise. I was going to I was told. it was going to be cold. It's hot as. hell out here. I'll be honest. It it the. sun beaming right on my back. It's. perfect day out here in Boisey. So, uh. life is good. How about you, Rap Sheet? Life good for you?

>> Yeah, man. Trade deadines's over. I'm. I'm much better now. Much more relaxed. now than I was. It's great. Phone phone. can sit on the charger during sleep. instead of under my pillow. It's great. >> Okay. I like that. You know, like Tooth. Fairy, you have your phone under your. pillow just hoping that somebody will. come in and drop a little value into. your text messages, which certainly does. happen. Shouldn't you love trade. deadline day? >> I mean, I would say you sort of love. >> Can we change the mindset here, AJ? Can. we not have him change his mindset?

>> Build up. It's like a It's almost like a. mini Super Bowl for you. >> It's what you ran all all them sprints. for. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's why you lift all them. weights. >> All of that is true. I get it. But it's. sort of like game day for players. It's. like it's it's what you do all the work. for. It's what you train for. It's what. you get ready for. It's the big stage. And there's a couple of these throughout. the year. You got the day after the. season, which we used to call Black. Monday. There's free agency. There's the. draft. >> What's it called? >> There's a couple of these. The cut down. day. There's a couple of these things. >> New name. >> But it's like, >> what's that?

>> Black Monday got changed. >> New name. >> Well, it's sort of when you name. something, it sort of celebrates the. firings, which we don't like to do that. So you don't you take the name away. inches a day where people get fired. >> Black Monday. >> I don't want to get negative connotation. though. >> Yeah. I don't want to get too Yeah. I. don't want to get too negative, but. there are like negative things that have. happened that have days around them in. the past, I think. >> Yeah. Like the stock market crash was. black whatever. >> Black Tuesday. >> Black Tuesday. Thank you. >> There's also Black Friday, which is a. great day.

>> Just say it right. >> Yeah, you're right. >> Yeah. Love Black Friday. Oh, >> one of my favorite. >> I get I I understand that the the. families of the coaches who get fired. >> certainly have to go through a lot in. relocation and everything part of base. and are they the ones directly telling. you they don't like that there's a name. for the the firing? >> No, it was just sort of I mean it went. from I just know like when we did you. know we'd highlight programming on NFL. Network. It went from Black Monday to. the day after the season and it's like. oh okay. But anyway, I would say maybe.

>> hold on, hold on. Let's brainstorm here. because this is what we're doing with. flexing, too. So, flexing come up with. it. You can come up with a new name. >> Yeah. New coach Monday, maybe is what we. call it. New coach Monday. New coach, >> new opportunity Monday. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. New open head coaching spot Monday. because you could phrase it in a. positive because guess what? Some other. coach's family is about to experience. something for the first time they ever. experience life. >> Great for them. >> And even the fire coach, new. opportunity. Mhm. >> Exactly. They can maybe go to a place.

that they like and maybe have success, but you know, every new beginning comes. from some other beginnings end, you. know. So, it's kind of the life. >> cycle. So, you're right. >> New beginnings Monday. That's not that. catchy, unfortunately. >> Yeah. It's very actually. >> life cycle Monday is pretty good. Circle. of life Monday. >> Yeah. >> Circle of life Monday. That's not bad. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, that's maybe that's what we. call. >> kunaata Monday. >> What a wonderful phrase. Yeah. I I I. think that would be [laughter] I think. that's not a bad idea. Okay, let's move.

along from that. We're way away from. that. Trade deadline day did just pass. I assume somebody will ask you about. Kirk Cousins and Kevin O'Connell, but. heading into the weekend, there's some. big injury combos happening around the. league. More specifically, uh can I ask. about Buffalo Bills situation? Just. because we just had Spencer Brown on the. program. I I guess he was he did not. practice. Deion Dawkins, I think, is. back for him. is there the Buffalo Bills. who we all have in such high regard I. think at the offensive line they've had. a little bit of issue and I think. another one continues here with friend.

of the program Spencer Brown is. everything okay there and then we'll. kind of bounce around the league. >> yeah so I checked on that one he was. great by the way on your show that was. segments are those segments are very. good um so he had I thought he had an. ankle injury in practice because he was. limited Wednesday then didn't practice. Thursday if I remember correctly but I. was told it was actually during the game. tried to go Wednesday wasn't able to. really go, but considered to be a minor. injury. So, I don't know for sure for. sure that he's playing Sunday, but it. seems like it's trending in that.

direction. And then, you know, Deion. Dawkins back at practice generally for. an offensive lineman. Big old tough. dude. When you're back at practice, you. find a way to play. >> Okay, sounds good. Keep us updated on. that. That just hit my phone because. friend of the program, hope they're. okay. Buffalo Bills, this could be the. year for them. Another team that we. thought maybe could be the year for them. whenever the season started and they. just absolutely pounded the Colts. Baltimore Ravens have found themselves. in a fascinating situation. Jacobe. Brassette will start for them on Monday. night against the Chargers as we head to. Baltimore. Lamar Jackson, we had a.

little bit of a heads up though on what. they're expecting. Uh is this. immediately what we knew or are we kind. of learning in real time about what's. going on with Lamar and if the Ravens. aren't in it, let's say that far from. now, what's the conversation then? Has. that been figured out? Okay. So, since. you asked, um I had reported on Sunday a. 6 to9 week uh timetable for Lamar. They. say 6 to 10. Both are right. Um. dislocated and fractured thumb. He did. have surgery. Um so, wanted to make sure.

to find the right surgeon. It's as. important a surgery as you could. imagine. So, maybe took an extra day or. two, found a surgeon he liked, had. surgery on the road to recovery. And I. would say kind of to your point, the. Ravens now become like one of the most. interesting teams in the NFL for me. And. it kind of reminds me of last year for. the Bengals when, you know, we thought. Joe Burrow might come back and I I think. came back maybe a little earlier than. even I had imagined. He came I think he. came back Thanksgiving last year, which. was a week earlier than I had thought.

But like they trade for Jacobe. Brassette, which you rarely get a. starting quarterback trade. They're they. got a good roster. If they can stay. alive, then you are going to get a Lamar. Jackson return either in week. 16. So they have Sunday, then they have. Thursday. So it' be week 1617. or for that last game of the season. So. what if they're like eight and eight. heading into the last game of the season. and Lamar Jackson makes his return from. a fractured dislocated thumb? Like that.

is drama and that's going to be awesome. to watch. >> That is drama. We hope that is the case. We have respect for Jacobe Brassette and. what he's able to accomplish. He was the. first starting quarterback that was. traded this trade deadline day. There. was another obviously that stole the. entire conversation. AJ has a question. about that rap. >> rap sheet. Yeah, he's talking about Kurt. Cousins obviously going from the Raiders. to the Vikings. Bingo. >> Kevin O'Connor. Yeah, he's he's. reunited. Kevin Oconor will be there, I. guess. How did this did this come about. quickly? Was this something that was in. the works? And how do you think it's. going to go? >> So, the research that the Vikings did.

was in the works, right? like they were. calling, you know, calling across the. league, kind of feeling it out, seeing. what would be available. And I think we. knew Daniel Jones would be a name to. watch. Cousins would be a name to watch. I know they ended up on Tuesday morning. calling on M. Jones to the 49ers, but. really it seemed to me that Cousins was. the one they wanted. And that and that. makes sense. Um they gave, you know, gave a lot to get him. Gave a third. rounder. That's a pretty good price. right there. And like he's been in the. system. He costs almost nothing. The.

Creed thing was great. I laughed myself. silly about that one. Um, cost almost. nothing. The. >> the uh. >> You laughed yourself silly. >> Were you like hitting? >> Yeah, I never laugh. I thought. >> Yeah. N slapping funny. >> Yeah, it was good. It's a ridiculous. song. I mean, who listens to THIS SONG? >> She. me. >> We all listen to it. Listen, I'm in. Boisey, Idaho. While I'm singing that,

the boys in Indianapolis picked it up. >> What does that mean? Have you ever been. out here? They smack you in your little. mouth. >> No, they like it there. I think that. makes sense. >> Yeah, they like it everywhere. Okay. Especially in Minnesota now because what. they're trying to do is get taken higher. by Kirk Cousins coming back into the. building. if you can get a metaphor or a. hundred alongside a Grammy uh worthy. band and performance on a regular basis.

But yes, Kurt Cousins back. They're. going to go on a run here. Is that how. you feel? Big one against the Packers to. start this entire thing. >> Yeah, I mean I feel like if they can. just play like average offense, and they. should be better than that, but if they. can play average offense, this becomes. one of the best teams in the NFL because. their defense is so good. And that's. what I kind of liked about this move for. the Vikings is they clearly feel like. because the defense is so good, we have. an opportunity. We have to seize it. Whatever it costs, like whatever. happens, it's like get a viable.

quarterback and just get this thing. rolling. And you know, they now they get. a boost for the second half of the year. I think Cousins is going to hit the. ground running. It's an incredible. opportunity to bring back someone who's. been in the system, who they loved, who. is playing really good football at 38. years old. Like, this is this is an. excellent situation uh for the Minnesota. Vikings. By the way, mildly NFL related, if only because he started for your team. last year. Philip Rivers officially. named the head coach of NC State just.

seconds ago. >> Yeah, we heard there were some rumblings. that Phil Rivers was getting interviewed. and then there was some rumblings that. he was likely going to be the head. coach. Now it is official. Philip Rivers. is the head coach of his alumni the NC. State Wolfpack who had Doran there for. what like 13 14 15 years long time. previous regime. Phil Rivers who had. been coaching high school ball down in. Alabama. I think they've made it to the. state championship a couple different. times. I think he uh whenever he joined. the Indianapolis Colts out of retirement.

and he hadn't played quarterback for I. don't know four and a half years. He was. close to maybe a Hall of Fame vote. He. comes back and plays for the Colts. He's. basically talking to Shane Stiken about. what the offense should be or shouldn't. be. I think he has a good mind. offensively. Will he be able to handle. everything that is college football. right now? >> That's a lot of [ __ ]. >> The GM, the everything. You name it. Like who's doing that? >> It's funny you say that. Like I kind of. wondered in my head if it'd be not. easier because the NFL is as high as it. gets, but like I wondered if the.

acclamation process would be a little. less for him to if he were to become an. NFL coach. and obviously interviewed. last year for the Bills. Like I thought. that might happen. This opportunity. though, like hopefully he has a really. good GM to help him through this. But. then he's got a really good quarterback. prospect who I know they've been. recruiting and who they like who's also. his son. So the opportunity to. potentially coach his son is. unbelievable. So I think this makes. sense. Do this for a while and at the. end of four years if he ends up in the.

NFL as a head coach, like I would not be. surprised at all. >> Wow. Yeah. I mean, yeah. And I think. everybody respects his leadership. I. think everybody appreciates how he goes. about doing his business uh business. And his resume is legit. So, whenever. you talk about uh a person that could. come in there and win people over. quickly with authenticity, it's Phil. Rivers. And I can't wait for these young. Bucks to hear him chirp them without. swearing cuz he is going to be a chirper. and he doesn't swear. I don't know if. this age fully can understand that. Now, let's pivot away from NC State Wolfpack.

Hey, that ACC could really benefit from. them not being ass. >> Oh, yeah. >> I will. I I must say that would be good. Maybe Phil is able to do that. Let's go. to another ass division. Uh Tong Diggs. has a question about the Cowboys. >> Yep. He is speaking of the NFC East and. every team in that division feels like, you know, they maybe have a chance. except for the Eagles. Uh but the. Cowboys important game coming up this. weekend against the NerS. What is the. situation with George Pickkins and Joey. Porter Jr. who I believe both didn't. play last week. I don't know if they're. going to play this week or not, but it's.

it's making headlines down there, rep. >> Yeah. So, we'll start with the Pickins. one. Uh sounds like he had a pretty good. practice yesterday, which would, you. know, assuming he it goes okay today and. tomorrow, like I think he's got a pretty. good chance of playing. Porter described. his foot as pretty jacked up. Um he. wants to get it under control. So, the. fact that that's a lot of quotes. The. fact that Shout out Jane though, the. fact that um he want. >> Yeah. Shout out Jane. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Let's make sure we show our respects. here for the amount of work it took to. put all of this into a post as you.

>> so many I I can't type all that stuff. Anyway, >> yeah, it's incredible work. Hey, and and. by the way, uh journalists writing. articles on X might be the play. You. know, Mark Kaboli's been ahead of this. >> uh from the entirety. >> I I think this is a good idea by Jane, but yes, a lot of quotes as you can. break them all down for us, please. >> Rap she by word. So it it sounds like he. wants to get it really fully healed. The. thing that's weird to me and I feel like.

the the sort of like subtext to the both. of these things is like you know what. does it mean for a contract and it's. like both these guys are trying to earn. huge contracts that makes them rich. forever. they want to play like Porter's. not going to be sitting out this huge. year for him and he's when when he has. played in Dallas he has been really good. like he sort of joked that 70% was good. and it really was and I think Pickkins. too like these guys want to play they. want to prove themselves they want to. get rich beyond belief and win games.

while doing it when they are healthy. they are going to play and you know my. sense is Pickkins goes this week and. hopefully Porter if it's not this week. is next. Okay, let's go to some more health stuff. out of the NFC West. Ty has a question. for you about friend of the program. >> Yeah, Rapshi, what is going on with uh. Puka? Initially, it was, hey, he's not. going to go on the IR and then McVy came. out and said he is going to go on the IR. probably and then Devonte uh is still a. couple weeks away. Like what what's the. deal there? And did they were they aware.

this was going to happen? Because it. feels like now the Rams might be in a. little bit of trouble on offense and. maybe should have looked for a wide. receiver. So, they did know the status. of both these injuries before the trade. deadline, at least on Monday. So, they. had, you know, two days to look around. I never really got the sense that they. looked that hard at receivers. Um, and, you know, I think the reason was because. they got guys in their system and it's. so specific that like how could you, you.

could do it, but it'd be a challenge to. find someone to come in who's been. there, who knows it, who can really hit. the ground running, right? like it's not. like Robert Woods, who's the, you know, assistant receivers's coach, is going to. come in and play, I don't think, at. least. Um, so, you know, I think they. decided going in-house was better. As. far as the prognosis for these guys, sounds like MCL is more of a concern. than anything for Puka, who's also got. PCL and turf toe. The hope is mid. December for him. And then Devonte.

had surgery on his hamstring that was a. like to clean out the tendon. And they. thought week 12 is the target. So that's. week 12 is the Thanksgiving the. pre-Thanksgiving game, right? >> I think it's the week after. >> The week after. Okay. I think whatever. that is, week 12 was I know the target. for them. Um and like if they can just I. feel like this had been the whole season. for them. Just like be regular until. everyone comes back, hit, you know, hit. your stride in the playoffs and then. kind of do your thing.

>> AJ, just be regular over there in LA. >> Mean have have solid stools. Is that. what you're saying? Like old people. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Regular. Yeah. Just be. regular. >> So regular regular dumping, regular. peeing, regular footballing. >> and that'll carry over to the success on. the football field. >> Mhm. >> Yes. >> Always does. >> That's a huge part of it. >> All right. >> And they just got to do that until. Devonte's ready to get back. >> and Puka and they, you know, could come. back around the same time and then it's. like, you know, and and that's the thing. with the Rams is they can always make it.

work. Even if they're not winning games, they're in every like they can always. make it work. And Sean McVey is very. good. They got great depth there. >> Just be regular. >> Just be regular. >> You mean a like be average? Would that. be another way to. >> Yeah, just get by. Be regular. >> H. >> So be regular is like win every other. game. >> Yeah. Just stay alive like the Ravens. >> They can't really Oh, stay alive. Stay. alive. There you go. Stay alive. Yeah, I. I think in the NFL I don't think you. could just be regrett elite league.

>> So regular. >> Well, I don't think the Chargers regular. is a little different. I guess. >> that regular has been not as good. >> They suck, dude. >> What's going to happen? Like on what. kind of change is going to happen in the. offseason in with the. >> I don't like that, bro. I like every. person over there. There's no re. It's. you make some food and every single. ingredient you like and then somehow it. goes together. starts cooking and it comes out.

[laughter] shite. How's that happen? How's that happen for the Chargers? Yeah, I that's got to be the most. stunning I mean obviously the most. stunning thing of this entire season is. like you know they were so excited about. Mike McDaniel the match you know he is. with Harbaugh and you know in Miami with. lesser far lesser quarterbacks than. Justin Herbert not even saying two like. the backups they were always good enough. they always scored points running backs. always got in space they were always. productive and it seems like in LA it's. been just the opposite uh I mean I don't.

know what changes we're going to get. during the season. It's sort of at the. point of it's like what's like what's. the point? What's going to change? Right? Like if you're going to fire. someone, it's like, okay, you did that, then like what's what's the difference? Um I would expect a pretty wholesale. look at everything after the season. though because like too much talent like. this is a place that really should win. games and I don't quite understand why. they're not. The acclamation process is. it's over. Like it's should be. acclimated by now, right? It's just.

everything that's could possibly go. wrong has gone wrong. >> Shout out Murphy's Law there. Good. quote. That was on a sign at Rudy's Subs. and Pizza 286. How can I help you. growing up? And I uh will never ever. forget it. You talk about Murphy's law. there. Then you said wholesale changes? Wholesale means top to bottom. There are. we talking like Jim Harbaugh is going to. be the coach of the Colts. Justin. Herbert's going to be a quarterback. somewhere else. Like what type of. wholesale changes are you talking about? Like what's realistic you think for us. to view at this stage of how the season. has gone? Well, first of all, with the. with the Herbert thing, like I've gotten.

zero sense that they would move on from. him at all. And I know when teams. called, it was like non-starter, right? Like. >> Herbert is here. >> We like our guy. We like our guy. >> I don't know. I don't want to make any. proclamations about anyone else because. I don't I don't know enough right now. and the season's not over. But I would. imagine when you have a season that is. as horrific as this is, you take a look. at absolutely literally everything. because like this can't happen. It just.

can't. So you have to look at all of the. things and I would imagine coaching. staff. It's just everything. Everything. everything they're saying rude things. about the general manager who we lack. over there. They got a new nickname for. the offensive coordinator off the MC D. thing he's got going on. I hope they. figure it out and look promising going. into the offseason because every other. team I think would be very pumped to. have Herbert. I think any team that. needs a head coach would be very pumped. to have Jim Harbaugh. If you had an. offensive coordinator position open, I. think you would definitely interview. McDaniel for that particular position.

So, I'm just as dumbfounded, I assume, as the Chargers fans are. But, it's a. difficult decision whenever you got a. lot of pieces that everybody else wants, >> but you can't win with it. That's kind. of what the Colts come to. But let's go. to the talk about changes. Sounds like. they wanted to make some changes. Maybe. they need to trade away their entire. medical department after what we're. learning. Go ahead, con man. >> Yeah, Rob. She something that also used. to not be kind of the norm is no. tradebacks and seemingly [laughter] that. is kind of been um brought back to the. forefront. Uh Henley, their stud.

linebacker, you can see there on the. right side, he's had 100 tackles the. last three years, was traded to the. Broncos. And these are the other two. kind of tradebacks that we've seen this. year with Crosby uh and the Eagles pass. rusher. But when it comes to Henley, uh. what's the situation here? Cuz Harbaugh. even came out and basically said like, you know, this is a problem because the. Broncos allegedly had a thirdparty. medical staff look at um Henley's. medical records and then they deemed it,

hey, we need less compensation for this. player. Like what is this situation? Is. this normal? It feels like it's not, but. this year it has been for, you know, other kind of medical teams to deem a. player not worth trading for. What is. the situation here? And why is this. happening? >> So, before the Crosby situation, I I'm. sure it happened. I just can't remember. anyone like it. Um, and that was. obviously, and you know, that was an. extreme one, but it sounds like what.

happened here was, you know, so the deal. was done probably at like feels to me. like 2:30 uh, Eastern time, so like. really really close to the deadline, right? And then the trade gets agreed. to, it happens, and then the players got. to get a physical. And like the way. these things work, you can't get a. physical beforehand unless you do it. really sneakily like uh the Cam Jurgens. situation where like next thing you knew. team doctors were in the uh Eagles. building. They were doing a physical and. then the trade was official. Like you.

can't basically can't get a physical. till the trade happens. And so you sort. of do it on faith. and the Broncos gave. him the physical and based on their. exams of his knee they felt like they. should it should be less compensation. and you know as of now they do have a. right to do that and the Chargers have a. right to not agree and so from my sense. both were good with the fourth rounder. it was a fourthrounder and a future five. both were good with the fourth rounder. it was the Broncos wanted less wanted to.

give less than that future five they. wanted to make it like a pick swap or. make it like a seventh rounder. And I. think at that point, the Chargers, who. no doubt were frustrated, as you heard. from Harbaugh with the situation, frustrated that they want less. compensation, were kind of like, we. didn't even really want to trade this. guy anyway. We like him. We would have. tried to resign him no matter what, this. is let's just let's just not do the. trade. And so instead of agreeing on, you know, everybody tried to make it. work, but at the end it was like we're.

not going to agree. No one's happy. Trade is off. And you know, I'll be. curious and see if there's some sort of. way to like fix this. Like basically, you could say like, you know, after a. trade is agreed to, you can't. renegotiate the picks. Like maybe that. there there's got to be a way to figure. this out. But uh not agree. >> No, anytime you can get a medical thing. involved. >> Yeah, >> cuz it's all subjective to the doctor. I. mean, you can you're always going to. have this out for teams to be able to. get out of deals. I think every team. knows that, too. I don't know. Yeah,

>> I wasn't born yesterday, you know, but I. think a lot of these teams have probably. utilized similar practices on buyer. remorse situations. Granted, if it is a. perfectly clean physical, which will. never happen with a veteran NFL player, >> right? >> Mhm. >> I mean, actually never happened. So, you. you just got to Yeah. It's weird how. things get reported, deals happen, players are told, "Hey, you're leaving. town." And then all of a sudden, yep, actually, you're not, and we're going to. expect you to play back this other. place. Well, what did this physical say? I couldn't play. Well, just not in the. future. It just, you know,

>> value of a fifth rounder. >> Yeah, it's a fascinating gimmick. It's a. very fascinating gimmick as it has been. happening in the NFL for a while. Players just have to show up and play. Teams will try to trade for players and. then immediately say, "We shouldn't have. done that. We shouldn't have done that.". Now, uh, anything we miss here as we. wrap up on this glorious uh, wrap up. with rap sheet and friends, us being. friends, you being rap sheet, anything. big that we should be talking about that. we haven't hit? If this was big day with. big shrikes breaking down all the big.

plays, >> what would what would you guys talk. about on that? >> Um. I I think we hit it all. I mean the you. know commanders kind of saved their. season last night. That was a you know I. think that was a good one. >> But there's no there's no you know. >> that that would be like your pundit cap. That that would be like you saying, "Hey, I I I kind of want to give a I. kind of want to give an opinion about. what the Commanders did last night.". >> No, that would not be me. >> What do you think? The fact that they.

>> won and had a big win against a division. rival on national TV. >> for sure makes my mornings much easier. >> So, good job for me. [snorts]. >> Why is that? >> No, no frustrating phone. No, like, hey, uh just checking um you know, everything. good. You know, wins are much better. than losses. >> What about the Giants? >> Yeah, you live in the tri-state area. >> Giants are good no matter what. Giants. are good anyway. >> No matter what they lose. >> Five and three and one. >> 53 and one. >> Hey, that that one might matter that.

down the road. We never know. Hey, we. appreciate the hell out of you, man. Have an incredible weekend. Can't wait. to watch you on TV throughout. And uh. we'll see you next week, Junior. >> All right. Thanks, guys. Take care. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. We do have to. clarify something here. Journalism. Mhm. >> I think I'm the one that said it. I. think I'm the one that said it, so it. might be me that's kind of the problem. here. Hi, it's me. I'm the problem. It's. me.

Sheffy's been told. >> that he's also NFL network's king, you. know. >> Has he been told you think or he just he. probably just. >> I don't worry about titles. >> I'm just trying to do my job, break. stories. >> Just come. Listen, how about this? I I.

We didn't come up with. the title junior. Somebody had to have. come up with that title, right? >> Think it was you? >> No, >> this is not a real thing. Hold on. Hold. on.

>> That's what I'm like. My brain had to. have done this for some reason. I'm not. You know what I mean? Like I've been. with a long. miles and miles ahead of him. >> Did you read my title? Senior. Yeah. >> So there ain't two seniors. Well, it's. like well actually at ESPN there's like. a thousand seniors which is a part of. the problem is nobody. but he is, I. believe, only senior NFL insider. Ty, you know better than me. All right, ladies and gentlemen, we got to set up. for an absolute legend out here in. Boise. Please take it away, Thunderdome. >> Yeah, we do. Obviously, we got Most. people that watch the show know who is.

going to be set up there with Pat at the. nice uh beautiful setup at Boise, but. Tone, I wanted to come to you quick. because we may talk some college ball. here shortly. What are the When you look. at the slate for this week, what sticks. out to you the most? And boys, you guys. be ready, too, cuz I'm going to ask you. >> Yeah, let's let's leave a little. something in the imagination in case. people don't know who's coming up. Obviously uh starts tonight a big one. tonight between Illinois and UCLA. Illinois 6 and3 people quietly do not. know that. UCLA undefeated and then they. have to stay undefeated. So you know. something to watch there tonight. A huge.

one in the ACC with Wake Forest and SMU. Wake Force sitting on the outside of the. college football playoff. They need a. huge road win down in SMU to stay alive. in that situation. Tennessee is in the. playoff right now. They're dogs going to. A&M though maybe or maybe they're two. and a half point favorites. I can't. remember. Uh big one there. Georgia. number one team in the country going up. against Missou who is never ever going. to go away quietly into the night. Then. the I think personally the biggest one. of the weekend is IU uh USC cuz IU is. not in a good spot right now if they.

lose. And then USC if they win they are. in a really good spot to make the. playoff and then obviously Texas and LSU. is a huge one. LSU loses they are at um. and then Oregon State Boise you know. that's where game day is so that's a big. one. Boise needs to win to stay in the. driver's seat for the Group of Six. playoffs. Yeah, speaking of game day, Pat, what's going on? Looks like you. have uh our special guest with you. >> Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest. college football coach of all time, Coach. >> Steven. >> Coach, how are you, boss? Great to see.

you. I don't know if you saw this, Coach. I'm going to pull us out here a. little bit. Did you see they got our. thing up on the jumbotron up there? >> Yeah, it looks great. >> Good hospitality here. >> It does look great. Yeah. >> Did you expect it to be this perfect of. weather getting out here? And have you. ever been out here? What are your. thoughts as you touch down here in the. beautiful state of Idaho? >> Well, it is a very pretty place. I've. never been here before. Uh so I was kind. of excited about making the trip. Uh. seeing the blue turf and kind of. checking the whole place out. Looks good.

though. >> What did you learn about their team? You. know, 29 straight years of winning. football out here at Boise. We asked Ian. Johnson, who will be the celebrity guest. picker, why that is. He says just. bluecollar play, bluecollar football, and also they got a lot of great running. backs. What do you see from this year's. Boise State team or Boise State in. general that has you excited about. celebrating football out here? >> Yeah, well, I think their offense is. really, you know, like top-notch, a. really good quarterback. Uh guys started. a lot of games, won a lot of games. Uh. they've got a good runner. Um and I.

think the big question for Boisey is how. about the defense? How how about the. defense? Because, you know, they they've. given up quite a few points. They've. given up some explosive plays and I. think those are the things that they. have to address especially playing. somebody like Oregon State who I know. they got some quarterback question marks. but uh who have some big play explosive. play players uh like Lree and um so. it'll be interesting to see how that. goes. But I I like Boise's team uh and I.

think if they can eliminate some of. these big plays they're they're a good. football team. Oregon State will have. Malik Murphy, formerly of Duke, playing. quarterback for him. You talk about. Lree, the wide receiver. He is smashing. records uh across the board. Has the. chance to be explosive. But on this blue. turf, it feels like they win 90% of the. time since the year 2000 here. This blue. turf won in in 1986. Did you know that? >> No, I did not know that. But that's a. pretty dag on winning percentage at. home. >> Yeah. Why I was about to say, why didn't.

you do that down in Alabama? I thought. you were trying to turn Yeah. I thought. you maybe put p full crimson grass out. there. Maybe you'd win more games. Coach, >> what what was our record on the grass. that we had? >> Well, I don't think you won that many. games, coach. [laughter]. >> I don't think you won that many games. Homefield advantage. Very real, but not. >> So, can I ask you and it says. >> cuz you know. >> 102 and [laughter]. pretty good. >> You didn't even know that eight times. He probably remembers all eight walking. out of there as uh with an L. But 102.

and eight. What's that percentage? This. has got to be like what? 93% 94%. >> Anybody want to do that? >> 93 uh 92.7 is what I'm seeing. >> Wow. You got some math petitions out. there, too. >> Yeah. Not bad. You know what the. calculator and the phone can do these. days, but go ahead. You were about to. say something else. >> I just wanted to ask because you know. Ian Rapaort's on here just about every. week before I am. Mhm. >> And you know, he he covered Alabama and. I want to know, do I get credit for him.

being a part of like people who moved up. in the organization, >> even though he would go in the top five. pain in the asses we [laughter] ever had. around? >> You know, he uh I don't think I've ever. heard him one time give you credit now. that I think about it. We were actually. just trying to think of a new name for. him, a new title for him. Top five pain. in the asses is uh what you were. submitting. Yeah, but he does a really. good job. >> Don't lie. He's come a long way. >> Of course, >> I like listening to him. He's got a lot.

of in good insider information. >> Okay. You have a lot of um influence. over the state of the current college. football world. Every coach seemingly. has a tie to you. Every game is going to. have some sort of record-breaking, especially in the SEC. Can you tell me a. little bit about what Alabama proved to. you last week? because Lane Keifin. obviously your protege Kaylin Dbor. working in your building actually coming. in there large shoes to fill has been. able to kind of create his own culture. his own team you've even said that this. year and I think he was very. appreciative of you acknowledging that.

they go down there and pound I mean they. absolutely pu still has Texas and. Tennessee left so they can still find. their way into the CFP but Alabama might. look like the be maybe the best team in. ball right now do you feel like that and. what did you see from that Alabama team. >> well we're we're really impressed. trusted me about the Alabama team was, you know, the competitive toughness they. showed and the poise they showed in. playing in a difficult place to play at. LSU and got behind 1713.

And when it seemed like the momentum of. the game had completely shifted in LSU's. favor, they went right down the field. and scored uh and then took over the. game and controlled the game. Uh, so, um, I was very impressed with their. competitive toughness in the game and, you know, that's what you need to do in. the SEC to be able to win on the road in. some of these difficult places to play. Now, I think the big question is is how. do they deal with that success? How do. they deal with that victory? They're.

going to a place like Vanderbilt. U, that was always a place I did not like. to go play. Uh but hopefully because. they lost up there a couple years ago, they'll have the proper respect and go. play another good game up there. >> Okay. So, the March Madness tournament. provides opportunity for guys who are. good at college hoops to kind of. showcase to the world that they are the. best. You know, uh at West Virginia, we. had a kid named Joe who earned himself. into a lottery pick strictly because of. March Madness. Everybody keeps saying.

Keelin Russell is going to be the. quarterback next year. He's going to be. the quarterback next year. Who's to say. that he doesn't just go crazy during. this playoff run, much like what we saw. from Fernando Mendoza, and maybe stamp. himself as the guy of college football, which I think we all think he can be, right? Have you seen Keelin Russell grow. enough that maybe this season he says, "I'm the guy." as opposed to what. everybody's saying like next year, next. year, next year. Can he pull it off this. year? I guess is a massive question. Well, I I I think he's a very talented. guy and I think he's growing a lot this. year and the experience that he's got. and uh you know, he's if he could just.

eliminate the bad plays, you know, that's one of the things that I always. told the quarterback. You know, guys. that are great competitors always want. to make plays, but sometimes there's not. a play to be made and if you force it at. the quarterback position, it's going to. lead to some bad stuff. And uh that's. what I see him growing in. He didn't. have those kind of plays, you know, uh. at LSU. And this guy's a very talented. guy. He's the right kind of person. Uh. he's nursing an ankle, so he's a little. questionable for this week. So, um.

hopefully he gets back healthy and can, you know, do what you're talking about. doing and lead these guys to where they. want to go. >> I'm impressed by he's tall, he's. athletic, he can spin it. The way you. guys talk about him, the person, uh. feels special. He's not the only SEC. quarterback though that is incredible at. what he does and young. Huge news coming. out of Mississippi State. Connor has a. question for you about big money. quarterbacks staying put, which I know. you were trying to poach him to college. game day earlier this year, coach. Go. ahead, Con, man. >> Yeah, Coach Kamario Taylor, I'm assuming.

back in the day you probably would have. gave him $10 million under the table, but today it's uh kind of public now and. he's getting $7 million to return to. Mississippi State. Is it pretty crazy. that we're at this point in college. football where it is breaking news that. a team's quarterback is resigning for x. amount of money? One, and then two, what. do you think about him going back? Is. this kind of a, you know, college. university franchise changing type move. where Camario Taylor is going to.

continue to put Mississippi State on the. map even though, you know, they've had. Dak Prescott and very good players in. the past? Well, [snorts] I think for. Mississippi State, Camario Taylor is. someone who can reestablish the. tradition of that program. I think Jeff. Lebby has done a really good job there. But to have a quarterback of that. caliber to make a commitment, he's going. to draw other players in to come and. play with him because he's that good. So, uh, I do think now to your your.

point about. somebody making $7 million as a college. player, uh, I don't know if that's. sustainable, uh, as a model. Uh, and I'm. just hopeful that we continue to. develop young people while they're in. college, personally, academically, and. athletically. And hopefully that's. possible when these guys make that kind. of money. I don't know if it is or it. isn't, but I know Kamario Taylor is a. great person made of the right stuff and. I think he'll do a great job for.

Mississippi State. >> A lot of pressure for these young folks. to get millions and millions and. millions of dollars. They are expected. to take care of a lot of people. I mean, that happens to NFL guys whenever they. get drafted first time with money. Your. family, your community, your friends, a. lot of people looking at you to kind of. help them out. It's difficult to. navigate, especially if you don't come. from an area or a lot of people or. familiarity with money as a whole. So, a. lot of pressure on these young guys. I've been very impressed with how. they've been able to handle it. We still. don't know what the long-term effects.

are going to be from it all, but. Kamario, we all assumed he was going to. leave just by nature of the beast. >> And I respect the hell out of the. Mississippi State alum down there in. Starkville. You know, Hardy, the. musician Hardy, do you know who this is? Incredibly talented lad. He uh wrote a. song that actually showcases uh I think. it had like some classical music all the. way to like scream rock. He is a. incredibly talented guy. Loves. Mississippi State. Very successful. musician. He is I think pretty involved.

down there alongside a bunch of people. and I think they heard the expectations. of them not being able to keep up, you. know, cuz like Miami has done a great. job at bringing in a quarterback. position for a one year or two years and. giving it being able to have a bunch of. money. Obviously, other schools, Oregon. has a bunch of money. Even though. everybody attacks Oregon, they're not. the only ones. Texas has a bunch of. money. Who knows what their quarterback. situation is going to be? Like Michigan, like so many places that we know have a. bunch of money. Mississippi State was. not in that conversation. So, I think.

the natural expectation was somebody's. going to get to Kamario Taylor and get. him out of there. Instead, Mississippi. State steps up in a huge way. They keep. them there. Now, they can recruit, build. every. It's like that's huge. And if. they win, more money is only going to. become available for them. Just like the. Indiana thing, everybody thinks that. Signetti when he got to Indiana, he was. given like a blank check. It's like, no, he was given money, but if he wouldn't. have won, they weren't going to continue. to give him money. It's like for this, you get the boosters and alumni all.

aligned, and if it works out, they'll. continue to do it. But if they don't, they start to back off. And that's where. I think everybody is kind of scared of. if once this thing doesn't work out, are. we going to lose schools and. institutions because their people are. going to back off? TBD. I think Kamario. is good for them though. >> Yeah, I think it's it's it's good, too. But, you know, to the panel's point out. there, we never cheated to get players, but this is something. not the.

murder. >> You guys went from the boys to the panel. on that comment. >> COACH BOOHOO, COACH. [laughter]. >> But let me just tell you something about. Mississippi. I go a long way back. recruiting in Mississippi. And when I. was at LSU, Jackie Cheryl was at Mississippi State. We were recruiting a guy in Jackson, Mississippi. I won't mention any names. And Old Miss was recruiting them and LSU. was recruiting them and Mississippi. State was recruiting them. And Jackie. calls me up and says, "I want you to.

turn Old Miss in." I said, "What are you. talking about?" He said, "Well, they're. cheating on this player." And I said, like Jackie Cheryl's telling me, you. know, that's like the pot calling the. kettle black, you know. And I I said, "Why don't you turn them in?" And he. said, "Well, we got a thing in. Mississippi. We don't turn each other. in.". >> Oh, [laughter] I like that. I like that. >> So, they were partners in crime. Yeah. >> So, I was on the outside looking in on. that one. >> Hey, we need you to turn them in. Why. can't you? Well, we're actually kind of. partners with them right now. So, uh, don't tell them it was us that told you. either. We need you to be pissed off.

about this. College football is such a. chaotic place, especially nowadays. We. just talked about Kamario stay and. Mississippi State could be an entire. franchise university changer. What a. cool with decision. NC State's going. through a massive turnover with a first. time college coach now expected to take. the lead. AJ has a question for you. Coach Sabin. >> Coach Sab, he's talking obviously Philip. Rivers was was just named the head coach. of NC State. I guess what kind of advice. would you have if he was reaching out to. you? Like what is a first time big-time. college head coach? Like what are some.

pitfalls you would you would try to. steer him away from? >> And don't give us [ __ ] answers here. Give us actual answers. >> Big kind of challenges you would have. first year, especially he's he's been a. high school coach, but now it's another. stage. >> Yeah. Well, I I first of all, I think. that Philip Rivers probably from a. technical standpoint, from a football. standpoint, uh being an NFL quarterback. for so many years, being a smart guy, he. he probably will be able to coach the. players in that part of it. But being a. college coach to me is all about being a.

program builder. Uh so you know. recruiting uh is a really big thing and. developing relationships with people. having the kind of staff that can. develop those relationship and provide. the leadership for these guys. Little. different in terms of how you got to. motivate college players versus being an. NFL player. he was in high school. Probably a lot of similarities to that. But I think the program part of whether. it's academics, whether it's the. discipline in the program, how you going.

to practice and be most efficient and. how you spend the time, which is a. limited amount of time in college. because of academics. All those types of. things to me are going to be the key in. terms of how you evaluate the players. you have on the team, how you evaluate. players you're going to pay, how you're. going to evaluate the guys you're going. to recruit. You know, all these things. take an expertise that, you know, maybe. hasn't been something that he's. experienced, he's probably capable of,

but if he can set up the right protocol. for those things, I think he has a great. chance to be successful. So like Bill. Bich goes down to North Carolina. He. obviously reaches out to you because of. your relationship with them and you kind. of break down what you think he's going. to expect and how it's a little bit. different. First year full nightmare for. him. Now he seemingly has built a little. bit of a culture, established a little. bit of a culture. Phil Rivers obviously. not Bill Bich coaching in the NFL, but. he has coached this generation of people. and athletes. I think what should be the. expectation here for Philip Rivers down. there? Like what what should how should. we be viewing this as outside looking in.

and how should NC State people view. this? We don't know what their financial. backing is. We don't know what their NIL. is. Let's just assume it's like standard. for ACC football down there. What should. we expect out of Phil Rivers here early? >> Well, I I think that, you know, people. develop a great expectation based on, you know, what the hire looks like, you. know, in on the front page, which really. doesn't win any games. In Bill Bichc's. case, you know, I think the timing of. his hire was, you know, a big.

disadvantage to him because he couldn't. take advantage of the portal. I think in. Philip Rivers's case, they're hiring him. early enough that he can get and have a. very positive recruiting season, which. should enhance their ability to make. some improvement in the first year. But. I don't think anybody has enough. patience now in terms of help helping. people make a commitment to the people. but then have the patience to allow them. to build a program and a culture because. it takes a while. I mean, my first year.

at Alabama, we lost to ulm and went. seven and six. >> What? This guy sucks. >> But that's right. And they they they. were questioning whether they hired the. right guy. But we were developing a. culture. Well, in this day and age of. football, if people were making huge. contributions to the roster in terms of. financial contributions and you went. seven and six in the first year when. they had the expectations that they have. at Alabama, I might not have survived. that. But I think people need to have. more patience. But when people give.

money and people are paying players, you. know, they want to have a say in what's. going on. So there's a lot more external. influence, I think, than there used to. be in college. >> Well, good luck, Phil. We assume the NC. State Wolfpack community will be. completely behind him. We are uh big. fans of his. What he's done for. Indianapolis, what he's done for the. NFL. Good luck in the college world. There seems to be so much to figure out. A team that has kind of figured it out a. little bit seemingly in North Carolina. Wake Forest on threat is uh on threat is.

on threat. That's uh you know what I mean. >> No, I don't. But. >> that's like the classy way to say it, >> is it? >> On three. >> Yeah, AJ, this is on three. Okay. And he. could say undo onto if you really wanted. to. But on three is reporting that Wake. Forest is finalizing an extension with. their offensive coordinator, Rob. >> Eel. >> Eel. Okay. Congratulations to him. He's. been a part of a massive storyline down.

there in Wake. They're where they're. ranked at right now. Fascinating. Couple. teams kind of sitting in one particular. spot. Ty has a question for you, Coach. Sabin. Yeah, coach, what would be your. message to a team like Wake Forest or. Texas Tech or Houston going into the. games this weekend? Because I. understand, you know, like the rap. poison, hey, don't read anything that's. out there. But this college football. ranking show every Tuesday night, it's. the only thing people on TV are talking. about on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's the. only thing people on the internet are. talking about. Like the conversation is.

massive. and those teams who are sitting. on the bubble, like what is the message. to them when you know all the players. probably understand like, hey man, we're. just we're on the we're on the outside. looking in right now and we might need. some help. Uh what what do you say to. them to kind of maybe, you know, make. sure that they don't go out there. playing super tight when they're that. close to making it to the playoff? >> Well, I think the number one thing is. you got to control what you can control. And the one thing that players can. control and you can control on your team. is what are the things that we have.

control of and that's how we play. So. what is our commitment to being able to. play at the highest level uh when our. best is needed because if you're a. football player now's the time to be. your best as a football player because. you got to finish the season but you got. to focus on the right stuff and there's. a difference between you know being. committed than just wanting to do. something. So, if you're committed, you're going to do all the things off. the field and on the field in practice, in preparation to be able to go out.

there and play your best. That's what. you can control. That's what you need to. focus on. You need to cut out all the. external noise and focus on what you got. to do to beat the team you got to play. And you know what I used to say to our. guys is you're playing in a big game, you know, assume you're playing against. the best player you ever played against. let's go out and practice this week so. you can dominate your box against that. particular player. And that kind of, you. know, like laser focus is what's going. to help you go out and play to your.

capabilities as a team and win these. games cuz I don't I don't care what you. say, you need help from somebody else. You you you can't control that. You can. control how you play and win in the. games you're supposed to win. >> What did you think about the rankings? Uh, you know, I I I think to be honest. with you, I think at this point, uh, the. rankings are a little bit [ __ ] if. you want to know the truth about it. Uh, I think there's so many games to play. and so many scenarios and all that that,

you know, who wins what is going to. determine like UCLA being four doesn't. mean nothing if they can't win out and. beat USC. USC being 20th doesn't mean. anything if they beat Indiana and go. beat UCLA. So, I mean, there's just so. much out there. Uh, and I think these. these games, as you see, people move up. and down based on wins and losses. I. mean, Indiana didn't even play and they. drop back what, five spots or something. Yeah. So, uh, I'm like, how does that. happen? But it happens. But if they win.

this week, they'll be right back in the. mix of things. >> Ty, I think he just gave his answer. right there to what you were saying. there. if you're on the outside looking. in, it's all [ __ ] is what he just. said. And uh I love that take from an ex. coach. I think for us though, as we're. just kind of looking at it, we're trying. to see tails from the committee on who. they like them dropping Indiana. I think. that was so that they can do stuff for. other teams maybe. And Indiana. obviously, uh coach signetti, I like. that he takes he took shots at the NCAA. when he was at JMU. He'll take shots at.

the committee. He'll take shots at. everybody. So I respect him doing that. and fighting for his team. But I think. the committee is just sending some. messages with what they're doing here in. these early ones whenever it becomes, you know, push comes to shove during the. down the slate. Who do they like? Who do. they don't like? Feels like they like. trenches football. Feels like they like. bigger teams, faster teams, stronger. team, which leads one particular team. that just saw an ale to your Alabama. squad. Tone has the last question for. you here. Coach Sabin. >> Yeah, coach. I want to talk to you about. a big one this weekend. Texas goes to.

LSU. Obviously, you're familiar with. both of those head coaches and playing. at LSU at night. Um, obviously LSU. cannot afford another loss to get to. four losses. That would most likely. knock them out and Texas doesn't want to. be a part of that three loss club. What's your thoughts on that huge. matchup down in Baton R Baton Rouge? >> Well, I think the key thing for Texas is. Arches played well in November. He. played well last week against Missouri, but I think when you go into LSU, your. players have to have a lot of poise and. be focused on the right stuff because it.

is a hard place to play. So, um, but I. also think if you can go execute. at LSU, you know, they they kind of lose. interest in the game quick and that's. not a good thing for your team. Now, I. do think LSU is very capable. I mean, they put up like 500 yards or something. last week against Alabama. They didn't. score in the red zone. They didn't make. the fourth downs they needed to make. So, um, you know, those kinds of plays. and special situations in the game, who.

is going to be able to come through in. those special situations? I think that's. going to be the difference in the game. You know, last week Texas did it at. Missouri. Missouri couldn't do it when. they needed to do it, and that was the. difference in the game. 2020 game. So, and and I I think it's going to be the. same kind of game this week for Texas. and LSU. >> Yeah, we love college football every. week. It seems like absolute insanity. takes place. Who will change the course. of the season this weekend? When. separation Saturday was last Saturday,

what are you calling this Saturday? Do. you have a name for it? >> I don't. I really don't. They all. separation Saturdays because people are. going to win, people are going to lose, some are going to be out, some's going. to play their way in. So, it's always. that way. >> Yeah, you're right. We're separating. every single Saturday. every Saturday. >> You know what I'm never separating from? >> Hopefully getting to work with you, buddy. >> Oh, I enjoy it, man. >> Hey, don't worry about what Connor said. >> Yeah. Sorry for making you cry, coach. I. didn't realize you were going to be such. a baby about it. Don't worry about him.

>> Hey, I've been I've been accused of. worse. [laughter]. >> Yeah. I not from Connor, obviously. Connor has uh a lot of thoughts as he. should, but he wasn't talking about you. He's talking in generals, I think. In. generals. That's Coach Sab. And we're. back on the other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice might. change your life. Jayen Jaylen Warren's. COMING IN. WHOA. >> ALL RIGHT. It's over. Shout out to Notre Dame. And shout out. to the kicking is easy contest because. we've had legends join us. Kirk, I mean. >> Joe Montana.

for you and the guys. >> Thank you. Our kicker today who won the. raffle is a man named Michael Milano. Michael, how you doing? What year are. you here at school? >> I'm a junior here. >> Okay. What's your major, brother? >> I'm premed. >> Have you ever kicked anything before, Michael? >> Never. I've never kicked anything. >> You have cleats on. >> These are my roommates. We got cleat on. >> Roomates cleat. I've never kicked. before. >> Before we get to your kick, Michael, I. was wondering if you'd be okay with us. having this dancing leprechaun attempt.

to kick for some charity. Is that okay? >> Of course. >> Okay. So, maybe the leprechaun will. actually show you how to do something. Is that all right? >> Let's do it. >> I think this should be a $500,000. donation. [cheering]. OH, [screaming]. [laughter]. LEPRECHAUN.

[cheering and applause]. >> [cheering]. >> There was one man who is a premed major. who had to sit and watch the leprechaun. just drain a $500,000 kick. Joe Montana, >> what would your messaging be here to. fellow Paison as he attempts to kick for. $1. million? >> You got it. Don't even think about it. We can always blame the holder.

[laughter]. Please bring out the blockers for Milano. here who lied to our face. Michael Irvin representing one of the. blockers. >> Gumpy representing one of THE OTHER. BLOCKERS. TWO Miami Hurricane. >> legends. >> Two legends. >> Can off Michael Irvin who might be. dancing on your brain and dancing on the. sideline.

>> Gumpy's talking trash, too. >> Gumpy. He's an ex ship painter from. Canada. >> Yeah, >> that guy wants to block your kick. >> Mr. Milano. for one million. [cheering]. >> Yeah, let's have a couple jokes. Let's. have a couple jokes.

Oh my god. >> Yeah, you did it. [cheering]. >> The following program is a collection of. stooges talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the.

>> FOOTBALL. IS THE GREATEST and that is why I'm out. here in beautiful Boisee, Idaho. That is. AJ Hawk back in the Thunderdome. He's a. college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Rder Cup winner. Also in the Thunderdome is the talks the. table at Boston Connor and at Tai. Schmidt. Good to see you lads. You look. fantastic. >> Thank you, lad. Good to see you as well. I mean, hey, a wardrobe change already. Is it really that hot out there? It. looked freezing this morning. >> Okay, that did happen mid first hour as. we see the one half of the hammer.

Cowboys AP tone there as well. Yeah, I. didn't know if you guys would notice or. not. I had a uh a brown thick heavy. hairy Travis Kelce American Eagle collab. uh flannel one. And I thought it was. made for ranching out in Idaho. And from. what I had heard and what the weather. was, it felt like the perfect thing. Then I get here, we're on the sun. We We. are actually on the sun here where we're. at. It is a perfect day and the sun is. cooking. And if you just want to take a.

little look around with where I'm at, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to. Albertson Stadium here in Boise, Idaho. For 29 years, this place has been home. to a winning football program. Now, 1986, they put that blue turf down and. they changed sports forever. Now, there's been some conspiracies and some. theories that maybe birds were taking. their lives cuz they thought this field. was a pond or a little bit of water. Maybe they could come down and get a.

fish and inevitably all they would get. is a one-way trip to the afterlife. But. instead, that was all a lie. These birds. actually came in, became big fans of. this particular field. This stadium. hosts Oregon State tomorrow as the Boise. State Broncos look to maintain the team. that will represent the power six in a. college football playoff. You can feel. the history of ball here. It is out of a. postcard. Lucky and thankful for. tomorrow morning 9:00 a.m. Eastern as. college game day kicks off for the first.

time in 16 years out here in Idaho. I. think it's going to be a hell of a. celebration of ball. Lucky to be here. Thankful to be here. AJ, last night NFC. East celebration as the Commanders get a. huge win over the New York Football. Giants on prime time. You knew the. Commanders were going to cover. I don't. know if you knew if they were going to. win. The NFC East now has been launched. right back into what the hell is going. to happen over there with Stefan Diggs. punching one in with less than a minute. left in the game to win that thing for.

the Commanders. AJ, >> yeah, I think uh Jaden Daniels, he's. he's feeling healthy. He does look weird. with that gigantic JJ Watt brace he's. wearing, but he he seems to handle it. very very well. And it's it's good to. see Diggs making plays. And we saw the. couple linebackers. I know I'm a bit. biased with my Ohio State uh ties, but. yeah, both sides of the ball. Sunny. Styles, Orville Reese, both of them, I. think, had 13 tackles making their. presence known all over the place. Just. big physical freaks that can run. So, I. think these teams are both going to be. fun to watch in the coming years. All. right, away from Thursday night, let's.

go to Sunday Night Football against the. Cincinnati Bengals will be the. Pittsburgh Steelers. Fresh off of a buy. Going into that buy, they had a man on. the their team that was number two in. the NFL in yards from scrimmage. This. man's leading the NFL in yards per. carry. Ladies and gentlemen, running. back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, draft undrafted in 2022, has become a. man that they can lean on for. everything. They say he's too small.

This guy can't pass block. Boom. He will. This man's too small. Maybe he. won't be able to be seen in the pass. game. Bang. He gets it. He's gone. In. running, he'll run your ass over. Ladies. and gentlemen, the ever explosive and. electrifying Jaylen Warren. >> [applause and cheering]. >> What's up, Jay? >> Good afternoon. Good afternoon. >> Hey, good afternoon to you. I'm out here. in Idaho. I know uh you know a little. bit about this part of the country, Utah. State School. You also went to Snow. I. didn't know they had a football team.

Okay. I did not know Snow had a football. team when I was doing my research on. you. Feels like you've been overlooked. your entire football career and now this. year you become focal point of. Pittsburgh Steelers offense. Can you. tell me a little bit about that. transition into being spotlight guy this. year? doing Mike McCarthy's offense. maybe verse everything else that your. football career has been overlooked. almost. >> Man, I just took a, you know, a day at a. time. I knew what it came with. Uh, it. wasn't nothing new under the sun. I, you. know, like you said, I was doubted my.

whole life, but it just put more fuel in. the fire and so I was, you know, I just. like to move in that matter. >> Soon as we saw you touch the ball with. the Pittsburgh Steelers, every time you. touched it, there was a spark. There was. an explosion. you were running your. absolute ass off and you had become a. mainstay in that backfield that they. started kind of rotating. Mike McCarthy. gets over there and one of the first. things he tells us is Jaylen Warren, this guy, I love this guy's energy and. then Aaron Rogers comes out and says. Jaylen Warren's not talked about as. being like one of the best teammates of.

all time. Now, whenever you talk about. this team as a whole with those guys. saying that about you, how close are you. guys? first year head coach, but I feel. like there's a lot of kind of holdover. from last year and years past. What is. that locker room culture like? And does. this feel like a very tight team that. can maybe go on a run and continue to go. on a run here post by week? >> 100%. Uh we're all very close. We're. continuing to get close. Um I don't. think we could get any closer and I. think it shows on Sundays with the way.

we play. Uh the culture here is great. Uh, and you know, anybody who's a part. of it and you know, newcomers, they they. hop on the moving train like you know, Tomlin used to say. And uh, yeah, it's. it's great over here. >> Hey, you're you're uh, Samoan. >> Yes, sir. >> I had no idea you were. [laughter] We. need to start coo. Yeah, we we need to. start celebrating. I did not know that. until the research of this particular. convo. We will start acting accordingly.

AJ has a question for you, Jaylen. Yeah, he he mentioned Jaylen uh Mike McCarthy. and Aaron Rogers. I guess what has that. been like first off playing with Aaron? We've heard wide outs talk about how. nerve-wracking it can be on game day, not if you don't know all the signals. and everything he's doing. Like what's. it like schematically playing with. Aaron? And also, what's uh Mike McCarthy. been like comp I guess I'm sure you had. like you knew of him, but now that he. has been there and he's coached you for. a little while, what's it been like? And. is he what you expected? >> Yeah, they're both gurus in their own. way. um you know, you learn something.

new playing with those uh you know, playing under Mike McCarthy and playing. with A-Rod schematically. They're always. 10 steps ahead and you know, they may. tell you to do something, you'll. understand in time, but you'll. understand, you know, when it when it. happens. >> Yeah, Mike McCarthy's uh the way he. speaks, can you understand what he's. saying? [snorts]. >> Yeah, [laughter]. I don't know if that's a trick question, but yeah. Yeah, I understand. No, I. heard he gets a little bit mumbly out. there whenever.

that is that happening to coach Mike. McCarthy. What What is the biggest. difference from what you thought about. him versus what you've seen from him? Cuz he was on our show last year and. we're from Pittsburgh. A lot of us are. from Pittsburgh. We thought we would. know who he was. And this dude was. quoting like Galileo to us on random. Thursdays. It made no sense to us. He's. seemingly very Is he a connected guy? Is. he trying to connect with everybody? Like what is kind of your biggest. surprise about Big Mike first? maybe. what you thought of him before coming in. there. >> Uh yeah, I mean, you know, what I was.

used to my first four years was Tomlin. Uh you know, it's one of the best. coaches I've ever played under. Um Mike. McCarthy, I don't have much thoughts on. him. Uh you know, I I didn't know too. much about him, but what he did. surprised me with like sometimes in. meetings he'll be talking then he'll get. fired up like randomly like I'm like, "Okay." like you can feel this guy's. energy like he's serious and he's like. he's willing to do whatever it takes to. win and you couldn't ask more from a guy. >> you know he's got that Irish uh white.

skin so that face might look like it's. about to blow up at sometimes just know. it back behind there is a man that. absolutely cares Tone Diggs dieard. Steelers fan has a question for you. Jaylen. >> yeah Jaylen thanks for everything you do. for the team I know the city really. appreciates the way you play the way you. run the football but I want to talk. about like a huge thing this year. obviously you've always been good. catching the ball to the back field, but. it feels like this year more than ever, I I think you're only 70 yards away from. your careerhigh in receiving yards in a. season. Is things are breaking down and. Aaron just has no problem at dumping it. off to you and making a play. Was that.

Did you know that was going to be like. that coming in the season or is it just, you know, something that happens as a. game goes on and and Aaron just sees it. and checks it down? >> No, I guess uh there was a little, you. know, it happened a couple times last. year, but I guess this year's happened. more. Um, you know, he throws that I can. usually tell if I'm going to get the. check down right before the play even. happens. Uh, and you know, I'm always. ready when the ball's in my hands. I I. like to take a picture of the offense in. my back or of the defense if my back.

against them so I know where to go. It. all It all goes down to the way I'm. catching the ball, too. Like, I like to. be deceptive by how I move. Um, I like. to I like to compare it to like, you. know, when you trying to swat a fly and. you swatting, you missing and you just. like that's what I like to compare it. to. I I try to be that like fly that. they don't know his next move. >> Jaylen the fly warrior, unswable, unstoppable, explosive. [laughter] Uh, you have been.

like that though, dude, since you got to. Pittsburgh. I know you know that. and. you've had to continue to grind and. continue to grind, but I I think all of. Pittsburgh has appreciated everything. you've done. And then for your size, there was uh I think the Pittsburgh. Steelers website or somebody went back. and revisited like your draft analysis. coming out what they were going to think. about you and it was like pass blocking, he's your liability, you know, and I. think they just said that because you. were small and then you listen to Zack. Frasier, the offensive line, like Jaylen.

Warren will pancake guys. like you love. the physicality which obviously Aaron. appreciates. You are uh I'm happy you're. getting your flowers now, bro. You do it. all the right way. Now, I just mentioned. Zack Frasier. Feels like the offensive. line's doing very well for you guys this. year as well. Connor has a question for. you. >> Yeah, Jaylen started off a little slow, but then the changes to the O line just. kind of completely revamped the offense. You know, you started really running. wild and everything started to open up. What has it been like with this group up. front? And is there some sort of, you.

know, gift like meatball subs, Rudy subs. if you will, to the O line after you go. and, you know, rush for a hundred and. that is taking place every single week. So, kind of have to feed the fatsos for. all their great work. >> The fatsos. Yeah. [laughter] Um, yeah, that hasn't came yet. Uh, they. definitely um, you know, every day. working. Uh, it ain't like we just out. here playing football. We enjoy it. Um, you know, like I said, this is this is. fun to us. Um, yeah, it's uh we enjoy.

being with each other. We don't look at. this as work, you know, we look at it as. another opportunity to get closer and we. always see an eye to eye before Sunday, whatever game we whatever day we play. And so, yeah, that's what that's what it. is with us. >> Whenever you hang around Darnell. Washington, how's that is that just uh. fun like uh so is that the biggest. [ __ ]. >> Yeah, you do. I like that. I like that. You jump up on things. You guys have. massive You have hu I mean Fri Mouthuth. has maybe the largest uh.

>> I mean we'll have to dive back into. that. That was obnoxious how large his. legs were. I I did not know that Fri. Muth's uh legs were that big. Darnell. gigantic. Your offensive line huge. It. feels like it works to your benefit. But. it's not just you. There's also another. back that Pittsburgh has fallen in love. with quickly. Ty has a question for you. Jaylen. >> Yeah Jaylen. What's your relationship. like with Rico Dowel and and the running. back room as a whole? because obviously. there's been quite a few, you know, changes in their guys coming in and. coming out, but you know, because you've.

been so good, I think a lot of people at. the start of the year expected you guys. to maybe like really evenly split. carries because, you know, he rushed for. like 1,200 yards last year and we saw. him come in last week and and make an. impact when you weren't uh in the game, but what is your relationship like with. him? And uh do do you guys you feel like. you guys make each other better? >> Yeah, for sure. Um, and that's the great. thing is we not we don't have no secret. agenda with each other. Like we we tell. each other what it is and what whether. there's um you know things we can help.

each other with. We no one no one's. afraid to say anything. And I think. nobody takes it personally. And so me. and him yeah we we close. We got you. know close like you know obviously the. more time we spend it with each other. I'm actually supposed to go to the crib. right after this, you know, kick it. Um, you know, treatment stuff, but. nah. >> No cards. You guys don't play cards? >> Oh, nah. I mean, no, that's not the. plan. But just treatment stuff. See.

what's up. Oh, ball. >> I heard you guys bowl. I heard you guys. bowl. Who's the best bowler in there? >> We both You talking to him? [laughter]. >> You got your own ball and bag and. everything? You guys bringing your own. wheelie bags? Nah, I don't need a ball. >> Okay. [laughter]. >> And just use those zone 26 balls or. whatever that person. telling where you're going. >> Do [laughter] you use two balls here? Do. we have a heavier first? >> Okay. 12 for both for both rolls or is. there uh two different balls for the. cleanup for the spare? Is it just. strikes with 12?

>> Well, it depend on how much I hit the. first. But if I just got one pin, I'll. go a six and I'll back up like six feet. I can throw it down. I'll still I'll. spin it. It'll [clears throat] hit it. still. I got some videos now. [laughter]. >> Sounds like you're an absolute weapon at. the alley there. Are you checking to. watch or is this straight down the. middle? >> Nah. Checking to watch. >> You ever bowl against Puka? Puka says. he's a good bowl bowler. He he live. streamed an event that we saw in uh at. the Super Bowl a while ago.

>> I didn't know he was a bowler. >> Yeah, they're saying Puka best bowler in. the NFL. Well, whoever was saying that line, [laughter]. >> I'm having to learn that you're uso. I. think a lot of Pittsburgers going to be. pumped about that as well. >> People don't know that about me and they. be just. >> Well, hey, Uso in Pittsburgh like Chris. Fu Mata Mafala. You are absolutely. loved, brother. Keep going. We. appreciate your time. >> No doubt. Thanks for having me.

>> Ladies and gentlemen, it's Jaylen. Warren. >> Yeah, Jaylen. You're looking at him. He says, >> "I wonder what his average.". >> That was awesome. >> 285. >> I have I have never met an NFL guy who. bowls with other NFL guys who doesn't. think he's the best bowler of the group. And there is a score every time that. decides on who's the best. And it's. always just kind of a muddy. conversation. It's always it's always. like, well, first game blah blah blah, second game blah blah blah. In the end. though, when it matter all the pins, I.

won. I I do like how everybody's damn. near where you know like professional. athletes are in bowling except for the. [ __ ] that knows it. You know, there's. somebody that comes in it. It's I've. seen it happen. New guy come to team. I'm at bowling alley. A lot of guys. bowling. It is just a normal pastime. I. grew up Holiday Lanes down the street. I. kind of understand the bowling life uh. and what we do at these bowling alleys. So, I'm just hanging out. Not I can. bowl, you I I I can get you I can get.

you a 150 if we need to, you know, which. is a respectable. >> Yeah. >> I think a respectable number, but then. you you watch a guy come in there and he. straps it up. Yeah. >> You know, and he puts the. >> They bring like a a carry-on bag like. you're traveling, but it has three three. different bowling balls in it. Yeah. >> Well, yeah. And then they got their. [ __ ] towel rug rag rug thing rag. thing and they go ahead and mix it up. and then they put it in there and then. they're actually using the air thing. Yeah, >> anytime you see somebody using the air. thing, it's like, oh, this person's been. taught how to do this, it's going to be. a little bit of a different game here.

And normally they get them. But if one. of the guys who is using one of the. bowling alleys bowls and doesn't have. the whole song and dance and doesn't. have a ball and beats said person, >> one of the greatest experiences you can. have. Sounds like Jaylen Warren's doing. that a lot to folks. Ladies and. gentlemen, uh, joining us now, I am so. incredibly lucky and thankful. Feels. like he's been here forever. been the. head coach for the last few years. Absolute stallion. Absolute stud. Former. linebacker at Isuza. Uh, >> come on. You got it.

>> Pacific. >> Isuza Pacific. Ladies and gentlemen, Coach Spencer Daniels. Hey, Coach. >> Thank you for coming here. We got you. right here. >> That'll be it. Yep. >> Yeah, absolutely. Coach, the boys are. back in the Thunderdome, so uh. >> yeah, let me know if you can hear them. Can you hear anything? >> Hello, coach. You hear me? How you. doing, coach? >> Coach, how you doing, coach? Good to see. you. Here, let's get this. >> There we go. >> You guys got me? >> Yeah. >> Let's go. [laughter]. >> There the boys back there. Uh,

>> what's up, fellas? >> How you doing, coach? >> Hey, first of all, thank you for the. hospitality. This is incredible. >> This is awesome. >> The Foothills Club. The view. Outrageous. >> Can't beat it. Best view in college. football. >> It actually is. Okay, so we've been to a. couple of these postcard looking places. I stayed at Chuck Bagano's house last. night. We had a beautiful view of. >> Oh, I'm sure that's dialed in. Yeah, [laughter]. he's a coach in a long time. Got a lot. of paychecks, 37 years worth of them. But it was beautiful and he was telling. me about Boise and I was learning about. this place 29 years straight of winning. football just as the head coach,

somebody that's been around. Why do you. think that is the case? We asked Ian. Johnson that yesterday. Why do you think. this place is just a hub to successful. ball? >> Yeah. Well, first off for me, Pat. always, man, I I thank Jesus for the. opportunity to be here because um I'm. not that smart. I'm not that cool. The. only reason I'm the head coach is. because Jesus put me here, man. I'm so. blessed to be here and be a part of this. community. And to your point, we stand. on the shoulders of decades of success. here, right? Kell Moore was back a few. years ago. He went 50 and3 here. And I'm. like, let that sink in for a second, guys. 50 and three. And so this amazing.

facility, everything that's going on. here is built is we stand on the. shoulders of guys that love each other. Uh they went to work where this is a. grass field, right? Where this was just. a blue turf when everybody thought we. were crazy when we had blue turf and. they just kept getting better. Blue. collar mentality. And it's a it's an. awesome community to be part. >> Yeah, it certainly is. AJ has a question. for you as I tighten up your thing here. >> Coach, with all of this stuff going on. in the college football playoffs and the. polls and and everything happening these. last couple weeks, I guess how do you. keep your team focused and is that. something you guys sit there and worry. about? And if you hear guys in the.

locker room talking about, oh, where. we're ranked and everything, is that. something that you have to address with. the squad? >> Yeah, it's something really good. question and it's something that we talk. about a lot during the offseason. especially, right? Because it's that's. what it is at Boise State, right? Whenever we play somebody, we're going. to get their best. Every every press. conference from who we play, we're. playing the Broncos this week. So, and. every game's the biggest game. When we. played Oregon, it was the biggest game. Then Memphis, this is the biggest game. of the season. And so, it's getting our. guys used to, we talk a lot about. process over outcome where can you truly.

be your best Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and then when it gets to the game time, you got to cut it loose. But we don't in. season, I don't talk about rankings. The. first time we got ranked, I said, you. know what matters? when you get ranked. at the end of the season. Nothing else. matters right now than our work and us. getting better. >> Yeah. And I think that's the right way. about a coach. We'll tell you it looks. like you're in the driver's seat for a. college football playoff spot. Don't. tell your team that. Don't tell your. team that. And we want you don't want. you to think about that as you think one. game, one day at a time. But it's a huge. opportunity tomorrow. Malik Murphy is. going to be playing for Oregon State. What are you expecting from them? And uh.

are you a nameless, faceless opponent? We got to be who we got to be or do you. guys adjust for who you're playing? Yeah, everything starts with I'm a firm. believer it's Boise State verse Boise. State every week, right? That's where. everything starts for us, but we also. respect every single of the opponents we. play, right? And especially what what. Jammarus Shepard's been able to do at at. Oregon State, man, I I think the world. of him and they've got firepower across. the board offensively, defensively, special teams. They got one of the best. receivers in the country and Jesse. And. if their quarterback doesn't play, I. mean, Malik Murphy started a lot of.

football games and and he's won a lot of. football games and so we know they're. going to have a great plan. They're an. explosive offense because their. offensive line works well together. They. got great schematics and they got really. good players and so we got our hands we. got our hands full and our job is to. make sure it's all 11 all the time and. we play our best football. >> Your defense going to have take on Malik. Murphy. Your offense though, especially. at the most important position has some. interesting stuff going on. I don't. think you're going to tell us exactly. what the case is, but Tone has a. question about the quarterback position. >> Yeah, coach. Uh Maddx Matson, who's I.

believe played in or started over 40. games, so a ton of college football. experience. He didn't go last week. against Colorado State. You guys still. looked great on offense, scoring a ton. of points. >> What does it mean if he is healthy and. ready to go and and if he isn't ready to. go? You can break that news too if you. want uh on here or not. If he isn't. ready to go, how do you feel about the. offense in general anyways? >> Yeah, I mean guys, great question. It's. always next man up mentality. I mean. people get hurt and it's next man up. Great teams find ways to win and it's.

hard to win in college football. You see. that week in and week out how much the. top 25 changes and moves, but last. week's a good example. I mean, Maddox. couldn't play, got injured the week. prior, and Max Cut forth, our backup. quarterback, stepped up, did a great. job. We had one of our better players in. Sire Gains out for a few weeks. Next man. up mentality. So, uh, Maddox was able to. practice this week. Today, he was able. to practice and go through it. So, I'm. going to sit down with our trainers. today and make sure we're on the same. page, but feel like he's in a really. good spot to start tomorrow. Can't say. that officially yet, but feel he's in a. good spot if for some reason something.

happens. We trusted Max Cut forth and. it's next man up. >> Okay. Uh you talked about Sier Gaines. running back. Uh his health obviously a. topic of discussion. Dylan Riley stepped. up for him. And then whenever you talked. about Max Cut forth there he came in. against Texas State. You guys are down. 11 I think throws three TDs last week. You guys have I think he goes like 18. and 19 for 300. Next man up mentality. culture seemingly said. Also Tone I. don't know if you know this this 6'2 215. lb Max Cutford. He's from like 30. minutes outside of here. Grew up coming. to Boise State game. So I think last.

year he was two and one when Maddox got. hurt. This year he stepped up in a big. way. I think that goes to your culture, right? Isn't that a good depiction of. everything you're trying to build right. there? >> No, absolutely, Pat. I mean, we talk. about our culture. We we call our. culture built different, right? And. that's not just to have a cool. PowerPoint. And we we define that as. building champions on and off the field. And why is it different? Because. transformation is not really going on a. lot in college football in my opinion. And that doesn't mean that we've got it. all figured out. I just think college. football is more transactions. Players. leave all the time. Coaches leave all.

the time. We want to be a little bit. different. I think Max is a really good. example. He's he's he's paid his dues. He walked on at Boise State. Got better. Got on scholarship. Found a way to be. the backup. Found a way to start a game. Found a way to win a game. And you just. stay in that fight. That's life. And and. and I'm so proud of that. >> I guess the boys love him. They love. Maddox, though. I I guess Maddox is uh. beloved in that locker room. Interesting. stuff. Whenever you have injuries go. down, we know you'll handle it well. Former player, you've been in the locker. room, but there's a lot going on in. college football. You just kind of. alluded to it a little bit. Connor has a.

question for you. >> Yeah, coach, because the fact that you. were a linebacker and played college. ball, obviously you can relate to the. players, especially, you know, you're 38. years old, you're a young stud. It's not. as if you were playing 30 years ago, but. because it was more recent, how do you. kind of view college football now in. comparison to when you played it? And. how different did you have to kind of. kind of change your culture, maybe even. change your kind of mindset towards. players because of the status of, you. know, NIL and the difference in just the. culture in general when it comes to.

college football? >> Yeah, really, really good question. I. mean, playing at ISUsa Pacific uh was a. little bit different than playing. division one football. I joke with every. single one of our players like, "Yeah, I. wasn't recruited to play here, guys.". And they got that right. There's no way. I would have uh there's no way I would. have made it here. I didn't I didn't get. screwed. They made the right assumpt. assessment of me. But I think it's just, you know, college football even this is. year 10 for me at Boise State and. college football's changed in those 10. and you know what it's probably going to. change a lot more in the years to come. and it still is the greatest sport on.

planet earth. end of story that that. that's not in question, but it is a it's. in an interesting place right now. And I. think that's where for us and I think. playing the position, uh, playing. college football, understanding a little. bit about what these kids go through, not everything. So much for me is. building them as people, knowing the. things they're going through, knowing. the struggles that they're going through. as a young man, as an 18, 19, 21, 22. year old, and really building them for. life. Cuz I'm a firm believer you build. the person, the player will always. become way better when the person is.

better. you can't live two different. lives. And so even in the NIL space, revenue share space, all these things. I. think there's a lot of excuses going on. in college football. Well, will they win. because they have more money or or they. have this. Hey man, there's 11 on the. field. And until they make it to where. one team has 12 and one of 11, >> hey, it's 11 on 11, man. And at the end. of the day, we have more than enough. And that's a mentality for our players. cuz you can't do that in life either. Well, this guy is born from here. His. parents are Hey, man. You got your life. God's called you to this place for such.

a time as this. do not waste it. And. keeping that mentality for our guys is. huge. >> I love that, >> especially here because you could be the. one complaining because your team is. going to inevitably have to compete. against some of these squads who might. have a lot more at their disposal than. others, which leads to Tai's question. Tai got Tai is an Iowa Hawkeye. >> Okay. >> Okay. So, you need to know that with. [laughter] where this question is coming. from, with how the college football. playoff is set up, please know that this. is where. >> accept all questions. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. Got it. Go ahead, Z. >> Yeah. My my shins have been slammed.

pretty good for uh I I coach I basically. said I didn't want you guys to get in. because I I need multiple teams in front. of Iowa to not get in so they get in. That being said, you guys are a very. similar to program to Iowa. But that's. neither here nor there. I want you to. listen. I know you got a couple games. left. You guys are on the the fast track. to get in, but I I want to throw a. hypothetical at you. >> in the the first rankings that came out. you know, there's a chance that you guys. would have to go to Southbend and play.

Notre Dame in the playoff. And. obviously, I know how important your. faith is to you and um and and it it. leads a lot of stuff that you do. Have. you maybe taken a second to consider. like, man, what an unlucky draw, you. know, that I have to My dad used to. always say, listen, I don't know if God. cares about who wins on Saturdays, but. if Notre Dame's involved, I can tell you. who he's going to be rooting for. [laughter]. Have you considered that at all up to. this point?

>> I don't know where to go with that. question to [laughter] be honest with. you, but I uh I truly appreciate the. question. Um, no. No, I mean at the end. of the day, man, like and and my faith. is important to me. But I want I want to. make sure everybody knows like when I. talk about my faith, it's not because I. got this all figured out. The only. reason I'm here is cuz I've made more. mistakes than probably anybody I'm. talking to right now. And by the grace. of God is why I'm here. And I want to be. able to make sure that with our players, no matter what rankings come out, no. matter who we play, if it's Notre Dame, if it's Alabama, if it's if it's the. Iowa Hawkeyes, our our defensive.

coordinator played at Iowa, Eric. Shenander. So, we always give him a. little bit of a little bit of smack, you. know what I mean? But it's uh whoever it. is, we got to put the ball down and. play. And same thing like papup, there's. not going to be any excuses. It's we got. to find a way to play us. No different. this weekend, no different the weekend. after this. We got to find a way our. best football cuz we can lose every game. we play or we can find a way to win. every game we play, too. >> I just want to let you know, Classic. Media, Ty just found out that there's an. Iowa Hawkeye. >> I'm back. I'm back on the Boise Trade, baby. [laughter]. >> Hey, I'll send you a jacket now. >> There we go. There we go. Done deal.

Done deal. >> Go, boys. What's the rest of what's the. rest of the day look like for you here? >> I got a couple different media things. Then we we bring our guys back and we. have uh chapel and then we have. walkthrough meetings and then we have a. team dinner together and then we send. them all to our hotel. >> Are you first is college first 15? Obviously some people are. But do you. already know exactly how you're starting. this thing offensively, defensively, or. is that all a work in progress for you. guys? >> A little bit of a work in progress. We. we'll have like we call ready lists and. we'll have a little couple of our. openers already dialed in. Um, but.

there's obviously the flow of the game. and making sure that you can adapt that. We talk a lot. The great ones adjust. >> Feels like you're a great one, brother. Can't wait to watch you continue to do. your thing. 38 years old. You look. unbelievable. >> Well, I'm I'm taking a peek right now. I'm like, man, you still got it. >> You see? Yeah. You see that? [laughter]. >> I had a bigger flannel on. I had to take. it off. I didn't know it was this hot. It's beautiful up here. >> It is. Welcome to the promised land. Welcome to the promised land. >> Bill Dippers Promised Land. No, but. everybody involved, we are so glad. you're here, Pat. Everybody, I mean, we.

have been waiting for this. I promise. you, this is going to be the best time. you guys have had all season. Thank you. for coming to Boise State. >> Thank you for having us. You're the. best, ladies and gentlemen. God, >> what's the line for that game tomorrow. night, Tony? >> Oh, 14 and a half, I think. >> 14 and a half. Really? It's on what? USA. Network. >> That's right. >> That's we can watch tomorrow night. >> What' you say? >> Tomorrow night, right? Tonight game? >> Yeah. 6 o'clock. >> Oh, 6 o'clock Eastern. So, okay. 9 our. time. like a dusk. >> No, 6 Eastern. My bad. >> Yeah, the uh Oregon State Oregon State.

backup going Malik Murphy who started at. Texas Duke and now has been Oregon State. the last two years. Uh Atkinson is the. leading passer in the country. The. quarterback that is hurt. So that. changed the line a little bit but uh. still be a good one down there in Boise. >> Nice Pat. Coach Danielson was pretty. awesome, wasn't it? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's also really jacked and really. pure skin, you know, if you see him. And. uh I think he's living right. He said. he's made more mistakes than all of us. I doubt it. >> I don't know. Yeah, it's hard. It's hard. It's hard to believe that, isn't it?

>> Yeah. I didn't want to just like. immediately cut him down at his knees. after saying that, but because he was. kind of rolling, but I really enjoyed. the way he's operated. I like that he. said like people a lot of excuses being. made by a lot of people right now like. they have that money, they have money. with 11 guys on the field, isn't it? It's like I respect that because he. could be a person who says look at how. good our team is. They're creating. NFLers. Shakir, I believe, is Boise. State. Ashton Genty, obviously Boise. State. to have a couple other guys in. the league currently. They're making NFL. guys, but nowhere near as many as like. the other teams that they're going to be.

compared against at the end whenever you. talk about college football playoff. And. he could come out and say, "If we had. enough money, if we had the same amount. of money as most of the SEC schools or. the Big 10 schools or the other schools. were ranked against, you could see him. saying that other coaches have." But. instead, he says, "No excuses, man. We're putting 11 on the field. We got to. play what we got to play." And I didn't. know there was a Hawkeye on the on the. coaching staff, [laughter] Tai. I didn't. know you were taking it on the shins all. week. I I imagine that whenever you. started popping off a little bit about. the group of six, they were going to. kind of rally against you cuz I had a I.

had an experience a couple weeks ago. where my superdog was a team that I knew. nothing about and I said that and they. came after me pretty good and I. appreciate their passion. I expected it. for you as well, Ty, but you were. staying on business for Iowa. So, I. think they have to respect that as well. >> Yeah, I had to do it. They don't respect. it uh whatsoever, but I did it last. year, so you know, I I was I was ready. for it. Um, but then you start kind of. hearing some of the stuff about Boise. It's like, wow, this uh program play. style, you know, they very similar to. Iowa actually. Uh, but again, I didn't.

know that their Dcoordinator was a. former Hawkeye. That certainly changes. things. So, uh, >> so we'll see. We'll see. I might be a. boy guy. >> We want your apology to be as loud as. your accusation. >> Not going to not going to apologize. Certainly not going to apologize. >> [snorts]. >> But I thought maybe that's what you were. doing here is saying sorry to all these. people who are mad at you for what you. said about a group of six automatic bid. for the playoffs. >> No. No. Absolutely not. I I I stand by. what I said.

>> That's why we love you. >> But I don't know if Boise should have. taken the vitriol, you know, cuz hey, it's a damn good football team. >> Yeah. >> Anybody in that position would have. taken it is what Tai says. Just so. happens to be the school that you're. traveling out to in three days. Exactly. You know, Ty Ty says that Know bad. timing. What are you going to do? Sometimes it happens that [laughter]. way. >> This place is gorgeous. 14 and a half. point favorites as Oregon State comes to. town. Malik Murphy, good quarterback. Excited to experience this place. Obviously have seen it, have learned.

about it, have loved it, and what they. do for bowl. Now getting a chance to uh. live it. Ladies and gentlemen, it's. Friday, so that means we got to do one. thing. >> Uhhuh. Yes. >> AJ's already undefeated. It's time. delivered by Door Dash to make our picks. for the weekend. Joining us, the man, not an utter guy. It's the honor guy.

Steve, what's up, boys? Boise State underwear, too, pal. Let's go. >> I got the long long spandex underneath, buddy. WE'RE ABOUT TO GO. THIS PLACE IS. AWESOME. >> LISTEN, [laughter]. uh it is awesome. >> LOOK AT THIS. >> YOU'RE AWESOME. >> HEY, you know what? As we go from uh to. Gumpy's camera here, look at this. I. mean, how could you not think? Wow. >> I cannot wait. >> Looks bigger than 35,000 ft. Absolutely.

Beautiful. >> How's it look in person? Does it look. bigger than 35 in person? Feels like. >> majestic. >> It's low, you know. That's the only. thing is like the it's a little bit of a. lower bowl, you know? So, that's how you. can tell it's not as big cuz some of. those places, especially diner in the. SEC, that bowl will go all the way up. to, you know? >> Yeah. >> It's like up there. And that's how cuz. they just add on. They just add on add. on add on add on. here. They've done. some magic updating the um the suites so.

that they can uh take advantage. hopefully of the wonderful alum and. donors that they have while they. continue to build. Did you hear. Danielson just say no excuses? It's 11. guys on the field. Let's go play. football. I love the way he operates. >> His energy is incredible. We had dinner. with him last night. It was awesome. >> Learned a ton. A little El Galo. >> Steak ass. >> Oh, what you how' you order that. Argentinian? They had they had this. Cajun cream sauce like for a for an. appetizer and I was like can I just get.

a steak with that on it and it was. >> what what was the appetizer bowl of. cream sauce? >> A little secret. Can you imagine that. frame likes cheesecake? >> No. >> I was like wow he likes cheesecake. >> Former linebacker though at Pacific. Uh. what' you say AJ? I think AJ was talking. about the appetizers maybe a little. >> You said they have some creamy sauce. that for an appetizer. Is it just a bowl. of sauce that you were walking with a. spoon? No, it's over uh the fillet. medallions and uh uh tenderloins. And. then they do like they call it wicked. shrimp with another spice.

>> Wicked bank. >> Connor would love the wicked. >> And this place is called Elgato. >> Elgato. >> I like that. >> Yeah. >> Who were you out there with? You coach. Danielson. Was uh Matt Garrett in there? >> Uh [clears throat] he was Pete Daml. >> Wow. Pete was there. >> Reese Davis. >> Reese Davis. >> Yeah. >> God, were you invited to this dinner? >> No, I didn't get the call. Yeah, me. neither. Jeez Louise. >> What time did you guys land? >> All right. [laughter]. >> We were delayed. >> We were It was a bad night last night of.

travel, but we did get in here a bit. late and then we stayed at the Pagano. Estate. >> Oh, >> I'll tell you what, Chuck put on a. performance this morning in his kitchen. I will tell you that, Miss Tina. Beautiful home. All right, let's get to. our pick, shall we? As we wrap up this. glorious feelgood Friday. Did you have. commanders last night? >> Yes. >> Okay. So did AJ. So, we'll give you. we'll give you both that. We'll give you. both that. Congratulations, you guys. I. hit a plus 3600 bet last night. >> Did you? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. 18,000.

>> Where's the crown? >> It's [ __ ] big. It's so big you can't. see it right now. That's the biggest one. I've won in some time. That's the. biggest I've hit on DraftKings. >> Hell yeah. >> Yeah. Plus 3600. It was uh Cam Scataboo. touchdown. Likely touchdown. And then. Williams. >> Oh, >> yeah. Chuck Pagano yesterday couldn't. get the game right. He said Giants minus. three, but he he rattled off like four. other guys that were going to do. something how it was going to go. And I. just listened to him. I think a lot of. people did. >> He he. >> We're on that plane last night. celebrating. Chuck was rolling in the.

aisle two and a half [laughter]. celebrating. He had a couple diet. buffaloos as the delay. >> Yeah. Yeah. He had like four or five. Just a couple. >> Yeah, he was. >> Yeah, he was m Yeah, he we were we were. flying pretty high as that thing hit. Congrats to the commanders and to Steve. and to AJ. Let's go to Guten to Munich, Germany. New England Patriots, uh. Detroit Lions. Lions favored by two and. a half. Uh I don't know if you saw it. Can we pull up the clip of Mike Vrabel.

uh introducing himself and the New. England Patriots to the local German. media. I don't know if you have heard uh. this sound bite yet of Mike Vrabel. trying to learn a little bit of German. and how it I'm sorry, Dan Campbell, not. Mike Varel. uh Dan Campbell uh learning. German and how he started his. conversation. Have you seen this? >> I have not. >> Here it is. >> Teacher this week. What did he teach. you? >> Say that again. >> What did Ammon Rod teach you in German? >> Okay. Well,

okay. So, I don't know if he taught me. this. I I've got All right. I I've been. known to use profanity. [clears throat]. >> So, bear with me here. And uh so I. wanted to you know I always give these. pointers to the team on [clears throat]. just little subtleties about you know. one of them is spreading our wings now. it's time to spread our wings and fly. right. and uh but I like to use a little. profanity so I'm looking up a way to say. uh somewhat maybe the f word in front of.

wings spread your and and so I see shish. is as close as I can get to it and so. saints like ship wings. Um, so it didn't go over like I thought. it would. [laughter]. But anyway, so he he taught me what not. to say. So there you go. >> But anyways, but anyways, so that lady. asked him a question in English and he. said he can't understand it. And the. question is about the [laughter] German. teacher.

just from beginning to end there. >> Just a master class for that. Give me an. Alliance minus two and a half over. there. And uh if MCDC and Vrabel want to. do a little wrestling match afterwards, I think we would all appreciate that. Over under 51 a half. I'm taking the. Lions strictly because of Dan Campbell's. answer to that specific situation. Stanford Steve, who do you like? How do. you like it? >> I'm with you. Patriots burned me last. week. I didn't like it. >> Oh, AJ, >> give me the Patriots plus two and a. half. >> Conor, do you like or hate that we're.

both on the Lions? >> Uh don't hate it. I believe uh 80. something% of the money is on the Lions. this Sunday. So. >> Oh, I will go with the Patriots then. Sorry about it, Foxy. I was on 80% on. you guys. Did you expect that, Fox? >> No, I didn't expect that. And that's. a-okay with me. I got one for you guys. St. Brown has not scored a touchdown in. five games. He's in Germany. He's from. Germany. He will score in this game. >> Yeah, we will take that as well as an. extra bet. Uh AJ, do you want to make. that an official pick? >> Yeah, let's do it. Okay, so we're all on.

a raw St. Brown touchdown. Anytime. touchdown score and you are on the. Lions, me and AJ are on the Patriots. Got it. Okay, let's go. Jaguars, Titans, Jags favored by 10 and a half. I think. it's going to be hard for any of us to. say Titans over Jags, especially with. how we feel. I'm going Jags minus 10 and. a half. Stanford, Steve. >> Jags are the best team in the NFL in my. opinion. Give me the Titans plus 10 and. a half. >> That's a lot of points for a division. game. Says Stanford Steve. AJ, who do. you like? >> I'm riding with Stanford here. Give me. the Titans. Golly,

>> I don't love it. I mean, the Jags are. awesome, but it's 10 and a half as a. bunch. >> Jordan Davis, Jesse Bates not playing. [screaming]. >> Damn. Uh Jordan Davis and Jesse Bates. III are not playing. This is like their. pseudo bye-week. >> Yeah, the Jacksonville Jaguars have come. out and said they're giving them. >> how confident the Jags are. >> Yes. And also, they're telling them, "We. need you down the stretch with where. we're at. Take a by-week. Let's get you. on the other side. Let's get you a. little bit more inundated with. Campanelli's uh defense." Houston Texans. favored by four and a half in Cleveland. Cleveland, a different team uh team near. the lake. Who do you like? How do you.

like it? Steo, >> I'll take Cleveland plus the points. They got the Shawn back. >> AJ, >> maybe Cleveland plus 4 and a half. >> What's the weather? >> I think it's clear. I looked up the. other day, but let me again. >> All right. What What is the percentage. of money here? >> 67% on Houston. >> All right. I'll ride with you guys with. the Browns. Kansas City Chiefs favored. by three going down to Atlanta. I was. wearing Travis Kelce's flannel earlier. uh earlier. It was too hot. It was too. good. Almost like the Chiefs is with. Josh Downs. I'll take the Chiefs favored.

by three in Atlanta. Steo, who do you. like? >> Agree. >> AJ, >> give me Chiefs. >> Buffalo Bill is favored by eight and a. half. They got some offensive line. stuff. Deion Dawkins is back. Spencer. Brown was uh I think he was limited in. practice. Uh potentially going to be. listed as questionable. Does that matter. with what they were able to do with a. couple backups last week? I don't think. so. Give me the Bills favored by eight. and a half in the AFC East. >> Uh Jets. >> Oh, Jets plus eight and a half. Steve. saw that eight and a half number and. said, "There's no way. I don't care. who's on the other side." AJ, who do you.

like? >> Give me the Bills. >> All right. Dolphins. Colts. We know. Colts minus three and a half for me. Steve. >> No. >> Dolphins. >> What? >> Three and a half. >> Except the Loud House. >> Kyle McCord. >> One team tries, one team doesn't try. >> What What team tries here? >> Halfley's boys. >> Oh, you don't think the Indianapolis. Colts are trying? They're trying to. establish a brand new culture in there. These guys are on the team for the rest. of the year. We got a lot of football. games left. They need to figure it out. Gumps, why is uh why are you why are you.

saying go Fins? You know, in the Loud. House, that's going to be a tough place. for this team to play. [laughter]. >> That is a tough bar. And I am concerned. that Aaron Brewer is out our starting. center. He's unbelievable. So, that will. be a loss with a not a rookie, but. McCord starting as well. >> The Forest isn't on the team. Okay. >> Get out of that hole, Gumpy. At. >> least you guys got a first for him. So, I don't think Gumpy's in a hole. Just. the lighting. It is so dark. >> Hello. It's. >> so [laughter] bright. >> What do you mean?

>> That's awesome. >> It looks like he's in the corner of a. basement with no lights on. [laughter]. >> Well, Gumby was born in the dark. I. mean, that's kind of where he's. comfortable at. Shout out to Door Dash. Don't fan for free. Utilize Door Dash on. Saturdays. You can earn points, win. points to potentially win life-changing. items. I think enough money for H. I. think they got a Dodge Charger out. there. They got groceries for a year. All you got to do is utilize Door Dash. on Saturdays. Don't fan for free. We. appreciate Door Dash changing our lives. Hopefully Door Dash will deliver me some.

good picks [laughter]. the rest of the way. That's Stanford. Steve, we're live here in Boise. The. boys are back in the Thunderdome. Busing. with Josh Pate will be next live on a. campus as college football and the NFL. are about to deliver. We'll see you on. Monday. Goodbye. Okay, that was very. professional. We got nowhere near. through that slate of games on TV, though. >> That's okay. All right. They got the. main ones. >> kind of. They got. >> Not really. [laughter].

>> I don't I don't think they did at all. All the good ones are coming up. >> They're all coming up here. >> That's bad TV for us. We'll work on that. to get better. Yeah, >> we'll work on that to get better. Okay, so you're on the Fins plus three and a. half. AJ, you like the Colts? >> Yeah, Loud House is going to be rocking. [applause]. >> Covered last week. >> Yeah, they did. It depends on where you. took it. I guess that was a big topic of. conversation because what the favorites. were. >> Well, do we know what the halftime show. is? That that could play a role. >> Erskin is back. >> Mhm. >> Let's go.

>> What? >> They got Seth the Flo performing. >> Uh, no. That's just I'm hoping that. that's the case. >> At least he can't afford them. There's. no way. >> Somebody call see what this halftime. show is. Last week it was Purdue's band. >> They're pretty good. They're pretty. good. They rolled that big ass [ __ ]. drum. Yeah, they actually were pretty. good. They were better than what's. usually happening out there. We get the. loss to the Cowboys. We turn around. against the Dolphins. Uh Panthers, Saints, that NFC South, everybody's. talking about how good they are. Steve, who do you like in this one? >> Yeah, I think it's big spot. Saints have. been pretty good at home. Carolina, what.

are we going to get from them on the. road? I'll take the Saints. >> Okay. Saints favored by two and a half. AJ, do you like the Panthers or uh Kelly. Mo, Boise State legend in the Saints at. home? Yeah, I mean Kelly Mo what 50 and3. record as a starting QB out there in. Boise as coach told us. So that's pretty. impressive. But I will take the Carolina. Panthers. >> I will take the Panthers getting points. down there as well. I don't know why I. want to do that. Connor, why do I want. to continue to do that? >> Uh I think strictly just because uh why.

not? Uh the other thing is we have no. freaking idea what's going to happen. >> Take the points. >> You can never go wrong taking the. points, but at the same time it's one of. those games where if the other team gets. blown out, you're going to be pretty. bummed. We also saw Morgan put in what a. 12 milligrammer two of them I think. >> with our own eyes. Didn't we see that? Is that what I saw? >> Uhhuh. >> So I'm always going to believe in that. guy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Kelly and Mo went 50 and three. How. about dancing go guys? That's not going. to happen. Okay. That's that's that's. unbelievable. He was so good here.

>> He's awesome. >> So good here. Has a chance down there in. New Orleans to do some special stuff. over time. Not this weekend. I got the. Panthers. AJ, who do you have? >> I got the Panthers, too. >> Okay. Let's go to the Vikings Packers. AJ, who do you have in this one? >> I like the Packers. >> Okay. Favored by three at home. >> I want to see Kurt play. I mean, I'm I. am excited to see Kurt Cousins at with. the Minnesota Vikings back there. But. yeah, I like the Packers, especially at. home. >> The all-time leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers is picking the Packers. favored by three at home against the. Minnesota Vikings. Kurt Cousins coming.

in immediately and have to take on Green. Bay in Green Bay is a very, very tall. assignment. Stanford, Steve, do you like. KOC getting back into the swing of. things offensively as their defense. could potentially win them a. championship? >> In the second quarter last Monday, I. looked at you and I said, "Yeah, they. got to go to the bullpen here." And good. to see they did. I can't imagine what. that meeting was like with the GM and. and KC after that game cuz it's like, "Hey, hey, get me something. Give me. somebody. >> something ownership.". >> And uh they got him. But I like what.

Laflur is doing with this offensive line. at Green Bay is unbelievable. Love was. played like the best player in the. league last week. So they continue. >> Ty, can that continue, Ty? Will Love I I. don't think I remember if this is. something that Love just does. He just. continues to dominate. >> Toyota thon. Uh we're not quite there. yet, but like he he has spurts of this. in during his career where he'll just. he'll play [ __ ] lights out for. multiple weeks at a time. And uh outside. of you know Jamar Chase and T. Higgins, no wide receiver combo is playing better.

than Matthew Golden and Christian. Watson. And then their defense, I still. don't think it really gets the credit it. deserves. The Packers are arguably one. of the hottest teams in the NFL right. now. >> Love their corners, >> man. >> Yep. Cece. >> I just I just want to pick the Vikings. because they traded for a starting. quarterback at the trade deadline and. how good the story is. Like I love that. >> Can't do it. Can't do it. Just can't do. it. I'll take the Packers.

I'll take the Vikings plus three. >> Are you call calling the Norris gods? >> Was Marcus Freeman blinking in Morris. code on TV the other day for Veterans. Day? >> Oh, >> he probably does. Does anyone know. Morris code anymore? >> Yeah, we learned it in high school. Wow. >> Come on, Steve. Sorry. >> Wait, did you say you did? You used to. know. >> No. >> Oh, they used to teach at the school.

Maybe. >> ours plum plum. >> Ohio. >> They should plum. >> plum burrow. Plum brow. We learn more. >> We should get back to it. There's people. everyone's trying to infiltrate this. >> alternative signals class. We did a. smoke signals class as well. Uh sign. language. We learned it all. >> Yeah. Just in case you get, you know, held hostage. >> somewhere, somebody takes you, kidnaps. you. Smoke signals to I don't know if he. said that, but. >> Nobody does. You think someone tried to. kidnap Stanford Steve, you know how. difficult that thing they do? If they.

wanted, >> he'd win them over. He'd win them over. Hey, where are we going, boys? [laughter] You know, >> I know the owner of this particular. shack that you guys got me tied up in. here. Get you a little YouTube TV here. >> We could really change this entire. thing. I'll take the uh I'll take the. Vikings plus three. Rams favored by nine. and a half going into Arizona. Arizona. Cardinals are a better football team. than anybody thinks they are. They lose. Jacobe Brassette. The Carson Beck era. begins as 9 and a half point dogs at. home. Stanford. Steve, who do you like?

>> Uh, they also lost Michael Wilson. That. worries worry about the Rams running the. football, but I'm going to take the nine. and a half. >> How about Michael Wilson? He broke his. neck on a third. Fourth played. >> Love him. >> Dog. >> Out for the year now. Absolute dog. I. mean, think about just. >> very unsafe, too. >> He said, "Yeah, they're paying me. millions of dollars. I'm going to go out. there if I can go out there.". >> Yeah. Wildly unsafe. crazy that he did. that. But in real time, they're asking. him if he's feeling anything, you know, hey, you feeling anything? He had to. make the conscious decision knowing that.

his [ __ ] was probably broke being like, "No, I'm good, man. I'm good." There's a. lot on the line. I appreciate him doing. that for his teammates. I think he has a. lot of respect from everybody in the. NFL. And once we hear that, we go, "Golly, for the Cardinals, he's doing. that." Could you imagine if it was. another team that was potentially in it? Uh, he's out for the season. Godspeed, Michael. Happy you're still good, bro. Every time you start talking neck, >> good Stanford man. >> in Is he? >> Yeah. >> Okay. I didn't know. Yeah. I like that. he's that tough, too. And by tough,

>> you know, messing with the neck. >> That's an interesting thing. You got. Laflur's got guys out there playing with. broken freaking necks. >> Respect. >> That's culture, man. >> There's culture right there. >> That's culture. >> Okay. Who are you taking? Who are you. taking? >> Uh nine and a half is a bunch. I think. the Carson Beck era begins on Sunday. I'm taking the Cardinals. >> [ __ ]. >> Who' you want? >> I don't know, man. The The more I think. about this guy playing with a broken.

freaking neck. It's like, think about. what that locker room is probably if. this guy wants to play. So nine and a. half points with a new quarterback. coming in there. They're going to want. to I'll take the Cardinals plus 9 and a. half. I'll take Cardinals plus 9 and a. half. I think Rams win, but I like. Cardinals plus 9 and a half. Seattle. Seahawks 6 and 1 half point favorites. against Fernando Mendoza. That era. begins in Las Vegas this weekend as. well. He's got the Seattle Seahawks and. he's got the Denver Broncos and he's got. somebody else. Welcome to the league, kid. Has he learned enough from Kirk? Does he know Kubak's offense well. enough? Are the Raiders about to go on a.

run with the number one overall pick, Fernando Mendoza quarterback, or do the. Seattle Seahawks come in and blow out. the Las Vegas Raiders? Stanford. Steve, what says you? >> Yeah, I can't wait to see what this is. Knowing how good Mendoza was in college. pre- snap against Mike McDonald, this is. awesome. Uh, rookie quarterback first. start. I'm gonna say the Seahawks take. care of business. >> Rookie quarterback. >> Raiders defense. >> Rookie quarterback taking on Seattle. Seahawks defense is crazy to even say. Once you said that, >> hearing that for the first time, it's. like that's going to be. >> that's going to be problematic. But.

you're saying that's not even the. biggest worry. What are they going to do. on the defensive side against the. Seattle Seahawks offense? You're. wondering. >> AJ, who do you like? >> I like the Seattle Seahawks on this one. Connor, do we [clears throat] have to. take Fernando because of how loud we. were about how good Fernando was going. to be or like where do we kind of sit in. that one? >> In any other game, we do. Um, in this. game, and I believe you're the one that. sent this to the group, the Seattle. Seahawks as a defense are holding teams. to like the least amount of yards and. points since the '9s. So, if it was.

legitimately any other team, I don't. care if it was Raiders Bills or Raiders. Niners, then I would consider it. Mike. McDonald is going to have Mendoza in. hell. I feel so bad. If anybody knows. Kubak's offense, who is it? The guy who. hired him to be his OC last year. So, unfortunately with this one, you're just. going to have to say, "I trust Mike. McDonald, and we are going to do this.". This is the stat I was just referencing. No defense has been better at limiting.

opponent yards uh via average, of. course, since 1999. >> Yeah. Are they better than the uh 2002. Bucks, 2000 Ravens? They're pretty good, huh? How about the Legion of Boom? They're pretty good. But let's talk. about the Dark Side defense and what. they've been doing since they've come. together. Fernando Mendoza, I love you, pal. I'm your biggest supporter. But. you're right. When them housesers. tweaked, I put into my world, I. immediately remember I remembered and. was reminded on why I'm a Seahawks fan. I became a Seahawks fan during Hard.

Knocks because of McDonald. Doesn't. matter if I was boots on the ground for. Monday Night Football for the Bears. having their best game against the. Seattle Seahawks having their worst. game. I need to eliminate that. That's. not who the Seahawks are. >> I'll take Seahawks. >> Okay. >> Mine six and a half. I don't like that. I'm doing that for Fernando though cuz I. would like to be on board supporting. Fernando. >> We still are. >> He can still play well. >> Hope Yeah. >> lose by a touchdown. >> Yeah. Or or they can lose 14- nothing. and Fernando can have a really fun day.

Nothing. >> Big shut out. Probably didn't have a. great day. >> I said total is like 189. [laughter]. >> That's over under 189. >> A fun shut out. >> What's his touchdown? One and a half or. just half. >> Got to be half. I mean, look, I love. Fernando. He won the Heisman and all. that [ __ ] He's going to get [ __ ]. around on Sunday. Okay. [laughter] And. I'm saying that. >> What does that mean exactly? >> I'm saying that quietly cuz I don't want. anybody to hear it. >> Okay. >> I believe Max Mendoza is lighting the uh. the torch. Good. the.

>> Al if I'm not mistaken. >> Mad Max man. >> We like Mad Max, man. We hope he is. doing that. We are all on the Seahawks. >> because once Stanford Steve lets these. little words out of his mouth. Oh, dark. side defense Mike McDonald against. rookie quarterback in his first start. that as soon as you say that it's like. oo that is a good point. We love. Fernando. Good luck the rest of the way. Niners Cowboys. Niners favored by three. and a half. Odds on favorite to win the. Super Bowl. San Francisco 49ers taking. on the Dallas Cowboys in an NFC East.

that is certainly still wide open after. the Giants lost to the Commanders last. night, especially for the Cowboys. Stanford Steve, who do you like? How do. you like it here, pal? >> This line makes no sense. You saw the. Cowboys in person last week. >> Yeah. >> Give me the Cowboys. >> Really?

[applause]. >> Standing over [applause] a guy who. couldn't make it to the freaking.

quarters. Yeah, right. >> Greatest coach we ever had. >> Standing up for a guy who lived the. American dream and then realized it's. time to get out. This is a [ __ ]. sinking ship. I'm going to go to. somewhere where I can actually maybe. win. Enjoy it. And I I said it from the. beginning. He was the marionette. He was. the puppeteer. He did the. Sorry, getting getting emotional here. >> Sure. >> I mean, just playing all those people. And he did he gave us some he gave us a. few great months. >> Um I'm h I'm happy for the goat. You. were happy for him yesterday. What the.

[ __ ] are you talking about? >> I'm happy for I'm just high and standing. on a soap box to give him a stand and. know. >> I got a text message from a couple of. people in the soccer community. I don't. think they're clapping or saying as. positive stuff, but Ty, to your point, Ponchettino fell in love with what he. did here in America, and we all fell in. love with him. Here's his press. conference yesterday as he addresses the. exit. I think was. master class.

>> Heartbroken for him. >> One of the most difficult decision in. our career. Thank you guys. Thank you so. much. >> Okay. Love you, PCH. >> Enough of that. >> Beautiful. >> I can't be mad at that. >> Go get you an EPL title, bro. >> Hit the bricks, Mo. Why can't he coach. both? >> Come on. We're not We're strugg.

>> Yeah, with the United States, you got to. uh go around and like blow up balls and. [ __ ] [laughter]. >> No, he's not a baller. >> Okay. >> He's not pumps. >> Yeah, he's driving [snorts] the bus for. every game. >> He's got he's got to sell the world's. finest chocolate, you know, fun rays and. stuff like [laughter] that. >> All right. He's not selling little. coupon books for [laughter] the men's. national team. Okay. >> This is disgusting. They're really some. part. >> You think it's some part-time job trying.

to [ __ ] win the World Cup? >> No, I I got a guy. >> who. >> Sabin. coach. >> Not a bad idea. Ted Lasso was able to. figure it out. >> You don't think coach Sab be real? >> You don't think he could hire an. offensive coordinator and defensive. coordinator, goalie coach? >> Dicka did it, too. >> What's he doing then? >> What is coach Sab? How come he's not. saving America? US men's national team. How much were we paying Punch Gumpy? How. much were we paying him? >> I believe it was 6 million. You guys got. 12 million to get bought out of the. deal. >> Okay, so 6 million feels like a big.

number for the head coach. >> Yeah, you should flip. >> for one year to coach that team. >> You should flip the 12 that you got and. offer Pep 20 million right now. >> Pep Guardiola, who is the Nick Sabin of. soccer, I guess, is maybe available. Uh. we'll see if they get him. But. >> the other guy that's on the radar, you. do not want. Roberto Martinez has failed. everywhere he's been with Belgium, every. international team. Portugal, >> he's not the guy. [clears throat]. >> So that's who we're going to get. >> WE GOT MORONS RUNNING IT. That's why. he's on the radar. >> Actually, I just looked it up.

>> Guy can't do it. >> It was 6 million rupees, which is uh. $60,000. >> I don't like the way this is turned. into, >> like Coach Danielson said, 11 on the. field. How many are on the soccer field? >> 11. >> 40. 11. >> Yeah. If we have 100, we ain't beating. anybody worth a [ __ ]. >> Let's get better. Let's get better left. >> Where's their money coming from? Who. Who's paying his. chocolate bars? >> Sell world's finest chocolate. for shinard. >> I hate to break it to you. There's an. enormous amount of money at. international soccer.

>> Okay. Notice we have a venture. capitalist guy. >> We have a guy who's putting up the money. for the team USA. >> Hedge fund billionaire Ken Griffin of. the Citadel. Oh, Chicago. Chicago guy. runs the video. >> He's a huge He's a hu I don't know if. his family's in soccer. >> Where'd he go to school? [laughter]. >> I don't know. >> This guy needs a right officer. every year. [laughter]. >> Ken Griffin. Go back to that there if. you could please. Ken Griffin. Harvard. He went to Harvard. Ken Griffin went to. Harvard. Turns out the guy that's.

managing a trillion dollars in hedge. fund stuff went to Harvard. Yeah. I. wonder if that all sort of he helped. cover his salary worth seven several. million dollars. It's like NIL I guess. for some of these people who are tied in. there supported in significant part by. philanthropic leadership board. Of. course he's philanthropic as are we. >> I mean you say good for. >> is that how it's always worked or is. there like a is there like a I don't I. don't know like do they pull the team US. money for how does this work? >> So there's remember it was split um the. US women's national team and US men's. national team ended up splitting however.

much money is made from the World Cup. and from the meteorites deals that. happen. So, I think they operate as a. brand, as an entity, as like Notre Dame. would whenever they're negotiating their. deals. But just like college, NIL helps. out whenever Ken Griffin comes in to. front some of the uh financial costs, especially if you want to get a good. coach like Mauricio Punch. >> Looks like Ken Griffin's tied to Manu. and the Glazers. So, it might have been. an inside job. >> Wow. >> Whoa. >> So, Manu is going to be they're going to. win it all now. >> No doubt. >> That too.

>> Gump is Manu very good. Uh they're in. the relegation zone. 18th place right. now. >> Will he start right now? >> He starts as soon as he's going to coach. these last games for whatever reason. He's still going to coach and then as. soon as the international breaks over, he's coaching Manu. >> What games are they playing right now? >> Go on, lads. >> We're playing Ghana, I think. Aren't we. playing Ghana? >> Uh Haiti, maybe. >> in like a friendly international. situation. >> It's the Conquer Cafe Nations League. >> Where? >> Oh my goodness. >> Uh on the on the corner.

>> Gold's right around the corner. like. [laughter]. >> who who gives. >> We're playing Haiti and uh Jamaica. >> No wonder why tomorrow play Haiti. >> and we're wondering why this guy's. leaving to go coach in the Premier. League. >> [ __ ] Haiti. >> And you actually just uh they pulled. their food from their workers. So their. their workers don't actually get food. anymore at the facility. So there's not. much money at Manchester United right. now. >> It's got enough to get Ponchettino out. of the United States camp. He'll [ __ ]. eat dust and rats if he has to to get.

that thing turned around. [laughter]. >> Well, he was going to do that for. America, I thought. So, >> yeah. And then he took one look at the. boys and said, "These guys don't [ __ ]. got it. I got to get out.". >> And he did. >> Thanks. >> He's bringing a couple of the boys with. him, though, so that's good. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. >> I don't think Christian Pollic's one of. those guys. I saw. >> No. Flo Ballagan and Freeman, I believe, are the ones rumored. >> Uh, he will bring him over there. Freeman is a dog. So is Balagan. Uh a. lot of the soccer people around us.

soccer players, ex players that I've. encountered, and. they really [ __ ] hate that this guy. came in here, did this, and now he's. exiting cuz now we got to hit a restart. >> Can they blame him though? >> Yeah. What did they expect? >> What do you mean can they blame him? >> Yeah, this guy came in said he was going. to change. >> Just signed a new deal after the World. Cup. >> That's business, baby. >> Yeah. Don't saying that because we live. in a world where that is the business. like in the soccer world I think him. coming into team USA saying I love the. challenge to do this I'm chang and he.

was going after some of the big names he. was changing the way US youth soccer was. kind of operating and that was and then. he just bails on it now we got to find. somebody else that's going to. >> Pep Gore would be a great fit if we. could get him sounds like that's a pipe. dream let's you know what a pipe dream. is this weekend a ball enough about. [ __ ] poncho. >> got work to do. >> yes we do we got got college football. live we got sports center we got dinner. tonight we Early morning. We got Sports. Center. We got college game day.

Idaho? >> What? >> Are you trading? >> That's the problem. >> This guy doesn't even know what a trade. is. >> Is that when the changes to the market? Open up the app. Hit the market. Dude, >> hit the trades a little bit. DraftKings. has it set up perfectly. >> I am not good at math. And when I see.

You know, whenever they. let you know like, hey, you got. >> markets. >> You got a 3% chance you're basically. going to win this. What' you guys. >> thousand? Yeahoops. We still don't know. that.

I said, "Coach, I'm done.". >> Coach, I got the number you told me to. get. That's the type of guy. >> Senior to senior year. I took a six. >> So, this is a six pick combo here. 9 and. a half%. That's So, >> what's that mean? >> That means you have a 9 and a half%. chance of hitting in there. Uh, >> means it's a $50 parlay for 490 bucks. Morning line. >> Yes, sir. >> So, plus 5,000. >> This is actually Dumpy's trade from this. morning as he woke up at Pagano's house. and said, "What's the trade market look.

like today?" Hopped on DraftKings, found. this puts together a 9.5enter, and now. he's living on a less than a 10% chance. Go ahead and make some magic happen. today. Right, Gump? >> Let's go. College Hoops. >> College Hoops has been good to me. Shout. out to DraftKings having the trademark. easy to utilize coast to coast.
