Friday, November 7th. This. is the Pat McAfee Show. AJ [music] Hawk. sitting in at Pat's desk. Pats in love. it. Texas big time matchup. football.

>> It's all the rage. Obviously had a. beautiful game last night. It was a real. barn burner. 10 to7 the Denver Broncos. They uh they squeaked out a victory. obviously over the Las Vegas Raiders. I. know Pat, we have you down in Lach, Texas in a beautiful setting there in a. beautiful cowboy hat. What's going on, man? >> Yeah, I tell you what, got a cowboy hat. down here. We got a lot of good vibes. Obviously, this place has been. electrified because this Texas Tech BYU. game is obviously a top 10 matchup. And. this Texas Tech team is the real deal. They got a lot of oil money being. pumping through this place. They got a.

lot of athletes. They got great. coaching. Coach Magcguire will actually. join us in about 20 minutes or so. He's. doing something very special here. Former high school football coach who. makes the jump into college. Now, he's. in the perfect spot because guess what? His quarterback Barry Mo Baron Morton, his dad was a high school football coach. for like 32 years. So, whenever you talk. about love and passion for football. while mixing good business, NIL and. transfer portal, Texas Tech is seemingly. in a beautiful place. And I'll tell you. what, I landed this morning. Gumpy and I. landed this morning early. Love it, Texas. It was a beautiful Texas morning.

We landed and you know, sun was coming. up. There was a beautiful color to the. sky as it was all happening. looking out. over some Texas fields and all you just. saw was an oil rig and and then a couple. couple hundred yards oil rig and then an. oil rig and it was a little bit of dew. and it was a little chilly and there was. and it was like holy hell I'm in a. football movie right now and that's what. it feels like down here. Their students. have been lining up since Sunday at 4:30. outside of the stadium so that they can. get in the general admission. They can. get front row seats in the student.

section taking on BYU. They started. camping out on Tuesday for college game. day to try to get into the front to. maybe make a kick. When you talk about. loving ball from the time you're just a. little baby all the way through your. entire life, you think about West Texas, which is where we are right now, so many. movies have been made about this area. and their love of ball and everything. coming out of Raiderville, I believe is. what it's called outside the stadium, is. that they are pumped for Saturday. And. this has been a week-long celebration. I. have no idea if they have classes here. I have no idea. I know it's I know it's.

a university, but from the videos that. I've been seeing all week, it's like. this place is studying football right. now. And uh there's a good chance this. team can go on an absolute run behind me. here. You see the saddle. Okay. And this. this saddle here is touched by the boys. as they come out to the field here. The. locker room down to the left. Come out. through here. We got a light show. obviously going crazy as everybody. knows. And then they touch this saddle. And this saddle right here, this saddle. is dedicated to the memory of double T. and all the horses and riders that have. exhibited dedication and pride as they.

represented Texas Tech athletics. Strive. for honor. This dedication was made on. 1999. It was funded by former saddle. tramps here at Texas Tech. They got a. rodeo team. Okay. And they got a meat. tasting team here. And uh we're out. >> What? >> Be best meat tasters in the country. National champions. >> Yep. >> Who do they compete against? >> Yep. They got. >> other meat tasters. What do you think. this is, buddy? [laughter]. >> I'm trying to ask. This is news to me. I. didn't know there was professional meat. tasters out there. >> It's a pipeline. Yeah, Texas Tech does.

have a pipeline of meat tasters around. here. Their meat pallet is better than. everybody else. You know why? Cuz their. meat comes big around here, you know, and savory. And it's obviously. slowcooked to however you would like and. see it as perfection. But here's the. Texas Tech meat judging team. And what I. say about this meat judging team is if. you're going to judge that meat, you. better do it at a national championship. level. And that's what the Texas Tech. meat judges do. And the meat judges meet. once a week to eat meat. And when they. meet about meat, they talk about how. good the meat tastes or how ass the meat.

tastes. And that's what meat judging is. all about. So, congrats to Texas Tech. Meat Judge and [applause] Red Raiders. >> And they like Red Raiders. We like a. little red on the inside, too. [laughter] You know, like a little. flavor, said these meat judges. And then. there's a couple stickers in there that. like the burger style. But nonetheless, it is beautiful down here. I feel like. I'm in a movie. And uh everybody is. pumped about the weekend, and they're. being so kind to us. Now, on the flip. side, let's hope that this game is just. a little bit better than the Ash Cheeks. game that was last night on Amazon. Prime. Now, this is three weeks in a. row. Couple blowouts, blowout, blowout,

and now another Thursday night football. game where it's one-sore game. And. congrats to the Raiders covering a. school football team. >> Great football team. >> Good football team. They kept that thing. close, you know, and Gino's getting. unlucky with a lot of these. interceptions. I know everybody's. calling him ass and cheeks like they've. been calling others that haven't been. playing good, but he's unlucky as hell. Bo Knicks gets a deflected interception. The offenses can't really get going. And. Shawn Peyton, those boobirds are out. early in Denver because I think. everybody expected the offense to be. great or the defense to be great, but.

the offense would be good too because. it's Shawn Payeyton. He's an offensive. guru. Bo Nick Knicks in another year. So. whenever you give them kind of boring, you know, I don't like football, the. Boobirds are going to come out. They got. the best record in football. These guys. got the best record in football and. their fans are getting boo uh booing. them because they don't like it enough. But good win for Denver. I guess they. won't uh ever think about it. And now. this is two times that the Denver. Broncos have given us the worst football. game of all time on Thursday night. Remember the Colts game? >> Oh my god. >> Colts game. Oh yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. That was a tough one. That.

was a tough one to kind of get a hold. of. So Thursday night. Okay. Great. kickoff to the NFL. Let's go to the. talks of table at Boston Connor and at. Tai Schmidt. Con man, you like the. Raiders plus nine and a half. That's a. division game. Yeah, it's a division. game. We're going to do that. What else. did you take away from that game, brother? I mean, Max Crosby still. bringing it. Uh, he he's unbelievable. I. think that is why I felt so good about. the uh plus N and a half, but yeah, to. to your point like the the Boon Knicks. trend has not been great. It it feels as. though every week you kind of expect.

them to go on, kind of get something. going on offense. Troy Franklin in him, that connection has gotten, you know, much better. But even Evan Ingram and. him haven't really been on the same. page. Courtland Sutton, they've been. good all season, but last night it. wasn't great. JK Dobbins, he he looks. great again. You know, after his couple. years of terrible, terrible injuries, he's still bringing it. So So that's. incredible for the Broncos. But at the. end of the day, yeah, like they have the. longest win streak in the NFL. They've. won seven straight games. The the record.

is 8-2. We're not going to talk about. how, you know, terrible they perform on. a week- toeek basis, unless they lose in. the first round of the playoffs. We're. not going to talk about that in the end. because they will be around. They're. going to be there. They're 8-2. And as. shitty as it is to watch, like it. doesn't matter as much. And you know, I. do think if you're a Broncos fan, you. hate it, but you also love it. Your. team's eight and two. You're the number. one team in the AFC, you're the top of. the AFC West. You extend that lead over. the Chiefs. You know, the Chiefs are on.

a buy this weekend. But, you know, they're they're 8-2 and the Chiefs are. five and four. So, if you're a Broncos. fan, you probably hate how it looks, but. you love the result. And if you're a. Raiders fan, it's one of those things. where, hey, we showed a lot of great. fight. And even with Ash and Ginty, yes, it was a tough little uh interception. directly off his hands, but at the same. time, every time Ashen Ginty touched the. ball, it felt electric. It felt as. though he was going to go on a big run. He had a massive run uh early with that. got called back a little bit because of. a Jack Beck holding, but him getting the.

ball was great. Brock Barers has one. catch for 30 yards and he looks. unbelievable. Maybe try and get him the. ball a little more. That might be a. little more enjoyable, but it's Thursday. night football. their kind of grinds of. games. Now we're getting into that time. It's not going to get better until. Thanksgiving. Jets Pats are next. weekend. So, let's just, you know, kind. of focus on the fact that the Broncos, although it looked terrible, are 8 and2. and they're the number one team in the. AFC until the Colts win on Sunday. >> It's a win. It's a win is what they'll. say, AJ. And that defense, you know, no.

Patrick Satan, that defense pretty good. A that Denver Broncos defense. And I. think anytime your defense is really. good, that means the other offense is. not going to play great. So, your fans. want to see some good offense. Walt, they can't cuz your defense is so good. We need your offense to be good for the. fans. They're booing them, age, they're. booing them, saying, "Hey, this this is. shite here. They're eight and two.". >> Yeah, they're I mean, I don't I guess I. do get if we don't see offense, if you. don't see explosive offense teams, uh I. guess fan bases do get pretty upset, but. I mean, I guess you could say they. balance it out with this defense. Watch.

how these guys on the edge, how they can. bend, how they set the edge, and how. their interior Dline, they all play. together. They don't like you don't ever. see any huge like gaping holes to where. a quarterback can escape because they're. actually disciplined. So, Bonito is a. special player as well. I hope he people. do they understand that this guy is. legit hua too. What a good pickup he. was. He's fun to watch. But Bonita how. he bends on the edge, how their whole. Dline plays together, their whole all. three levels of their defense. It's. pretty fun, man. So, I guess like we. say, you got a chance. As long as your. defense is really good, you have a. chance. Your offense might find a spark.

here towards the end of the season. Hey, remember we were talking yesterday. about the sack percentage and pressure. percentage of that Denver Broncos. defense and then how bad the Raiders. were. I think I saw a stat where like 22. of the 26 snaps there was pressure on. Gino Smith and it's like not that Gino. is having a great year or anything like. that, but he's had a couple picks where. people have made miraculous plays. I. think he's not as bad as everything. looks, but I think this Denver Broncos. defense is just as good as we all think. it is because that stat was said. yesterday by Hembo to us and then. obviously we we relay it and then you.

got like I mean Gino was on the ground. every single snap. I mean it was just. bang bang bang bang bang. You can win. every game like that especially if. you're going to get blocks on special. teams. Now the punters had an. interesting evening for sure both of. them. Um, so AJ Cole here who just had a. punt blocked right there and his net. ruined for the entire thing. Had to. >> heads up. We're losing. >> We're losing you. We might have lost him. a little bit. We'll get back here. Just. >> Oh, he's back. We got you, buddy. You're. all good.

>> Okay, we are back. Okay, good news. Hey, hey, we're down here in Texas. There's. too much electricity and oil, you know, down everywhere. So, there's a chance I. might get a little power surge through. here, especially with this new resistor. all on. You know, how do you do? You got. to do what you got to do there. Um, but. yes, the special teams last night AJ. Cole has that coffin corner out of. bounds at the one. Beautifully done. Be. absolutely beautifully done. I mean, then his second one, he hits he tries to. hit little pin to the right. Just end. over end ball. He has that thing land. perfectly and kick directly to the.

right. They have such a good angle on. it. This, this punt right here did. numbers on the internet because this. angle showcases absolute perfection. Now, where do you want them to start? Oh, right there about 2 in off of the. goal line. So AJ Cole has two inside the. oneyd line. That's absolutely. spectacular. Then he has obviously the. block punt. He dropped the snap, still. got it off. And then on the other side, guy almost whiffed on a ball last. [laughter] I mean that that's tough to. Hey, Jets's tough to do, you know, especially in the NFL. They said it was.

wildly windy. We saw Will Lutz come up. very short from like a 59 yard. So, if I. was to give any words of advice to. Cranshaw, who is the punter for Denver, I believe, he needs to be hanging on to. that ball longer. Hey, we need to be. hanging on to the ball longer when it's. windy, brother. So, you see he's. dropping that thing pretty high. There's. a lot of free fall there. Okay? There's. a lot of freef fall there. If it's. really windy, that thing can move like. 2, three inches in the sky. He's going. to hang on to that ball a lot longer cuz. you whiff on a ball in prime time, boy, it's going to be tough to get a job or.

keep a job there, you know? So, we need. to be hanging on to that thing a little. bit longer. Let's kick it out of our. hand. He's obviously incredibly. talented. That's a tough thing to. happen. But in Denver, you know, with. punting, you got ex punters, you know, sending texts. And I think it was. incredibly windy last night. So, it's. not easy to punt. I mean, it's like. going to a urinal and then somebody. coming in between [laughter] you and. urinal with a with a leaf blower. Okay, that's basically what punting is as this. thing is kind of falling trying to make. contact. So, it's not an easy night. But. Denver is a place that like old punters. would come out of retirement and get. paid men to go punt at because 5,280.

feet. So you normally always see the. Denver Broncos punter is very good. because this is a desirable place to. head to whenever you are literally a. mile above sea level. Then you got thin. air. The ball can absolutely fly, especially now with how good the team. is. So he's in a good position. He needs. to hang on the ball a little bit longer. But people need to understand as well. that he was in a wind fest last night. That is no fun. And the special teams. are certainly a massive piece of the. entire game, especially when it's 10-7.

That's going to be the case. Hey, one. half of the hammer. done. Cowboys AP Tone. Uh people lost last. night, huh? It sounds like uh more. public money losing last night. We. continue a trend of sports books. winning. Almost all sports books are. profitable. some somehow [laughter]. don't but but it feels like feels like. this one uh this particular season for. these sports books public money not. great that uh trend continued last night. right Tone what other numbers hit. >> yeah the last few weeks have been a.

little bit better but there still has. not been a winning week this season when. you look at teams that are getting at. least 60% of the bets uh last night the. Broncos were getting 66 67% of the bets. they obviously did not cover there also. 57% of the betters were on the over as. well. So, they did not hit there either. So, >> what was it again? It was over under. >> Uh, what was it? 42, 41, something like. that. Uh, so they did not hit hit that. one. 41 and a half is what I think it. was. And then obviously everyone's. taking touchdowns and over bets as far. as like prop bets.

>> I don't think any of those hit either. So, it was a tough night for the betters. as a whole to start off this week. >> I um I love the touchdown parlays just. being absolutely smashed. The number. that Gumpy really liked yesterday was. minus 156 for Gino to throw a pick. >> That's almost. >> Yeah, I don't like that that's starting. to happen. And I would like to once. again reiterate that I think he's. getting unlucky on a lot of these. You. know, you start looking obviously a lot. of turnovers. This one's incredibly. unlike same with Bo Knicks. Bon Nick had. a pick in the fourth because of a.

deflection that shouldn't have happened. I mean, these are the types of things. that are out of the quarterback's. control, but they certainly become stats. on the quarterback there. He might have. shown thrown it quicker because there. was two people in the same spot. Little. confusion. Ball goes up. They get a huge. pick in the fourth quarter. You would. think maybe the Raiders are able to. steal it. They're not. Denver Broncos. end this game on a knee. AJ four-minute. offense. End the game on a knee. So, I. guess they can do good things whenever. they need to at the end of a game. But. yeah, it was it was not the most. desirable start to the NFL week, but.

hey, the NFL is going to throw its fast. ball yet again, and so is college. football. Let's talk a little bit about. uh the NFL, shall we? This Seattle. Seahawks team. AJ. >> Yeah. Hey, I liked them from watching. what they've done. Obviously, they go to. Pittsburgh get a huge win. Prime time. they get huge wins. Sam Darnold is just. as good as he was last year with the. Minnesota Vikings when people thought he. was done. And Macdonald, the guy that. got hired as a defense coordinator at a. Baltimore Ravens camp to become their. head coach. Yeah, he's got a defense. that's worth it. Seahawks might win the. Super Bowl. And it's not just because.

what they're doing on the field. AJ, I. don't know if you saw this pressure. yesterday from Jiren Reed. How much have. you noticed this particular group on. defense being special? >> Um, it's very special, man. We created a. bond with each other outside of the. building. You know, we're a close-knit. group, man. Those are my guys and uh. work together, we grind together. Um, we. all play cards together, do all the. little fun stuff, man. And it just. brings us together on the field, you. know, that much closer.

>> Uh, they're playing cards, the boys are. hanging out. AJ, whenever you think. about camaraderie, it sounds like the. Seattle Seahawks are all on the same. page and they're all good. That could be. a potential problem for the entire NFL. And I don't think any of us would have. expected that coming into this season, AJ. >> Yeah, you wouldn't. And you know how. much like I I think both of us value. that the culture situation. Think about. too if you're Seattle, they're having. much longer plane flights than a lot of. teams. Like so I played in Green Bay for. for nine years. All of our flights, especially in our division, were very.

very short, under hour, under an hour. If you're Seattle, think about all the. time you have with your teammates. Gives. you more time. You better get along. You. better enjoy each other. I guess Seattle. does that, but tell them what do you. like, if you don't have that, how do you. how do you create that? You're a GM of a. team. >> Like I don't know. You just obviously. you got to bring in the right guys and. obviously the coach sets the standard, but I I'll never like BA's BA has talked. about it all season long and we just. talked about it because the team was. back in Pittsburgh, but he said that '05. team on Tuesdays on off days like they. were all coming in and it wasn't for. football. They weren't in there watching. film or whatever. They were coming.

literally just to hang out with each. other in the locker room. So, it's like. a similar situation here. I saw it with. the Patriots. I think earlier this week, the majority of their team was in on a. Tuesday on an off day just hanging out, playing, working out, getting work out. in. So, like, yes, you see the best. team, >> but if your coach needs to tell you, hey, come in on a you guysuesday. >> Oh, I know. That's why I love that it's. happening organically. It's happening. naturally because, you know, there's. coach on other teams that are saying, "Well, I wish my guys I only saw like. three guys here on Tuesday. That's why. we're one and nine right now." So, yeah, that's just how it goes, I Hey, it's not. just hey, it's not just Tuesday at the. facilities, though. I think we.

understand that. It's like when those. dinners are happening and you hear about. the dinners happening, like, hey, the O. line's having dinner and the. quarterbacks are there, the tight ends. are there. It's those things that are. happening outside of the building, too, where you're going into people's houses, you're going to hang out in places. And. that whenever he's talking about we're. hanging out, playing spades away from. the building. It's like that's exciting. news that that if I was a Seattle. Seahawks fan, I would say that is very. exciting news. That is what teams that. are great do, AJ. And it's it's one of. the things I think we hit on every year. Like, hey, what teams look like they. enjoy each other as company? Oh, those.

are normally the teams that are great. Now, it's a lot easier to get along when. you're good, though. Like, you win 11 of. 12 on the road. That's a lot more uh. conduit to having a good relationship, you know, cuz his flights back home from. those games are a great time. But I uh I. really enjoy the fact that this Seattle. Seahawks team has been rebuilt in a. whole new way, basically. And now. they're tighter than ever, better than. ever. And wait, are they going to win a. Super Bowl right now? AJ, that's crazy. to think about. >> I mean, with that guy with Sam Darnold. slinging it like this, the guy he Sam is. he only 26 years old? Didn't we say that.

the other day? Is he really only 26? Sam. Darnold? >> It's It's. >> He's young. Whatever. >> It's much younger than you would like. >> He's 28, which I guess feels like he's. been in the NFL for 10 years this far, I. guess. But this thing uh I don't know. I. know we're a broken record, Pat, when we. talk about the culture, and culture is. the old buzz word that everyone wants to. talk about and say you got to build your. culture and all this stuff, but it it. comes from the players, man. the GM, the. head coach, they bring in the players. It's on the players, I think, and the. leaders of that team to actually get. along and and do all of those things off. the field that kind of bring it. together. And that's what when you have.

a bond like that, when you do lose a. game, then you're not pointing fingers. back and forth at each other. I guess I. think it's just a it's a thing that we. can't measure. We can't see. None of us. as fans really get to see any of it. But. the people that are there, I guarantee. you those trainers, they know if this. team gets along, they know if the. culture is good. like the trainers, the. equipment people, all the people every. single day that deal with these players, they know if a team is tight or not. For. sure. >> Yeah, absolutely. And whenever you know. um you got people openly speaking about. the culture too, like the players, >> I think that's great news. Like anytime.

you got the players coming out talking. about it, I think it's really good. And. uh Gumpy I was it you Gump or Digs? I. forget. Somebody made a a Seattle. Seahawks Super Bowl beta. Was that you. Gunks? >> Yeah, Seahawks and Colts both tickets. >> Okay. I like everything about that. obviously. Let's talk about the Colts. Carly Urs Gordon's getting a lot of. love, ain't she? >> She deserves it. >> She's getting absolutely She puts the G. in CIG in Carly Urs Gordon. She is a. absolute beast. They're starting to. break things down. They're starting to. say, is this the best owner in sports?

Hey, is this the best owner in sports? You know, I I see a lot of people's. immediate reaction whenever kids get. handed something. I react the same way, like, wow, must be nice. You know, I I. don't know how that is your life and. this is mine, but must be nice just to. get it. But whenever you think about how. Carly, Kayn, and Casey have gone about. this entire transition process, which. has been very difficult emotionally, you. know, obviously they all very much big. fans of their father and their dad, big. fans of them. I mean, very, very, very,

very close. So, emotionally, it's a. whole different transition, but also how. they're operating in leading the team. and how Carly Ersi has been hands-on, but not interfering. It's an interesting. little dynamic that they've been able to. thread the needle and they're making. big-time plays early here. It's like. Colts fans are like, "Yes, let's go, Carly." And I think the rest of the NFL. fan bases are starting to feel that way. as well. And I don't want to say like, "Hey, Taylor Swift brought a whole new. demo in, but Taylor Swift brought a. whole new demo in." And they're seeing. Carly dressed like she's a absolute boss.

on the sideline and making big plays and. influencing the league right now. It's. like this is a good time for the league. And I think they're doing a great job. The big three, AJ. >> Yeah. Do you think uh do you know how. involved she is dayto-day? Like does she. have an off is she she roaming around. and seeing like players and coaches. every single day. >> Yeah. Learning. She She's just trying to. learn though, just like she is there at. practice. Like she just wants to learn. stuff. I I think she'll sit in on some. like special team stuff. She'll sit in. on some of this stuff. Obviously got. meetings business-wise cuz they're. owners of the league. So like there's.

those stuff that happen. Yeah, very very. very active in the building for even. whenever you know Jim was alive there. for like the last five, six, seven years. of Jim's life. Very active in the. building trying to learn stuff. So like. wanting to understand the business that. they're about to run has been like a. goal for the big three feels like for. like the last decade decade and a half. and now it's they're still continuing. that while having to make the decisions. and uh yeah dude I think it's I think.

it's I think they've done a great job. and I'm happy to see everybody showing. her the way she dresses is so awesome. >> That jacket dude. >> she does not care. She knows that. they're going to be taking pictures. She's like no this is my jacket. It's. what I'm wearing also and the team. Okay, let's remember that. Uh, but also. I'm just out here because I would like. to learn some stuff. And also Shane. Stiken knows ownership 100% on board. >> Like the GM Chris Ballard understands. like at least whenever he says something. to ownership here, Carly will understand. the wise. Carly will understand where. it's headed, why it's potentially. happening. Like her on the headset on.

the sideline uh going through the plays, listening to plays, watching the. outcome. You don't think that had some. say in needing S Gardner? Like you don't. think her, you know what I teenage. hearing the coaches talk hearing their. back and forth too I would imagine from. the box to the the sideline their. defensive coaches speak about like yeah. man if we if we had one more piece here. this we might be able to open up this. defense a little bit and do a little bit. more. >> and she's watching and learning the play. calls like hey we're tagging this we're. tagging this we could tag this if we had. another corner we don't have a corner. because of injury like she's hearing all.

that and seeing all that they talk about. coordinators that are up in the booth up. in the suite and then they come down on. the sideline why because they kind of. want to be like Carly has been on the. sideline like very much feel not. interrupting but just in it. >> Where would you be if you were a. coordinator? Would you want to be up in. the booth or on the sideline? >> I want to be on I want to be with the. boys. >> Me, too. You know, >> I do. But when you do when you do watch. from up there the game, I mean, fans. that do think, "Oh, this looks easy. The. guy's wide open. That's an easy tackle. to make." It does look easy when you can. see it from afar. So, I I can see.

coaches that like are, you know, schematically, but I think football is. such an emotional game and you got to. get a feel for what the pace is, the. tempo, how the guys are, how they're. feeling. I think be on the sideline for. me would would be my ideal. >> Well, and that's why I don't want to say. we're against stats. >> We're not against stats, right? >> No, >> no, >> no. You're not against stats. There's. good stats. My entire. >> my entire football career was based off. of stats. So, like I love stats. I think. they're great, but boy, you got to have.

feel. You got to be in there. You got to. know that's the difference between. sports. That's the thing. There's humans. out there making those plays. generating. those stats that you read like and each. human is so different and they're going. through different things every day. >> If only. >> this guy's feeling it. Sorry. Sorry, Tone. Go ahead. >> No, no, no. Go. I was gonna say if if. only stats mattered, >> gamblers would be undefeated cuz you. just look at the stats and be like, "Oh, is better than this defense. This. defense is better than that offense.". Okay, good. This team's going to win. automatically. That's why I say it's. every any given Sunday, baby.

>> We are undefeated though off of our. picks. >> Agreed. You're right. We We need to. continue to remember that as we get. embarrassed last night. The players. fault. >> Both of us. >> You You stuck with the Broncos. I know. you went back and forth, but you stuck. with the Broncos. >> No. Yeah, you're right. I took the. Raiders. Yeah, of course. >> I [laughter] don't know. Let's run it. back. Run it back. >> No. No. Don't run it back. Just know. that we can get a clip of me saying I'm. on the Raiders. >> Did I take the Raiders? >> But I think we uh. >> You took the Bucks. >> Yeah, I think you took the Raiders. >> Are we both one?

>> Are we both one? >> Yeah, we both took the Raiders. Yeah, we. both took the Raiders. That's good of. us. It was too many points for a. division game. We knew that. Like that. That was just that was just way too. obvious. >> Yeah, it's a division guy. Too many. points. It needs to be better. But um. >> yeah, stats matter. I don't even know. how we got on this tangent, but teams. that like each other good. Teams that. don't not good. We would like to say. Carly Ers Gordon being down in the. sideline. I think that's a big piece of. the Sauce Gardner trade. Like I I think. that is a huge part of it. Her being in. this kind of understanding and also.

she's on that sideline when good things. are happening. She's felt the joy of. like team coaches, you know, normally up. in the booth certainly happy, but being. on a site in the locker like, you know, let's do more of those. Oh, yeah. She. says if we win a if we win a Super Bowl, who cares how many ones we got to give. up at the tail end of it. You can take. pick 32 next year, too. And the year. after that and the year after that, which I absolutely love. Ladies and. gentlemen, I have to set up an. incredible guest here, AJ. We'll see you. in about two minutes. >> Yes. And I guess he teased uh who who we. have coming on here,

>> I believe. So, but. >> we'll let him we'll let him do some come. on. What. >> it's close here. >> I think I might know. I don't know. We. We will see. But this Texas [laughter]. Tech BYU game. Hey, Tone. What do you. say here? What are the uh what are the. Sharps doing on this game? What do you. think's going to happen? >> So, Texas Tech is one of I I want to say. two or three teams in the country where. their offense and defense is ranked in. the top five or top 10 in the country. So, they're good on both sides. >> Dang, I didn't know 11 and a half point. favorites already. It's a huge huge. spread because like statist.

statistically they are an incredible. football team and BYU you know they have. a true freshman quarterback coming into. a very very hostile environment and. Texas Tech has just done everything. right this season. So it is a it's a big. spread. It's a surprising spread against. an undefeated team but they've kind of. earned that spread so far. >> Yeah, they have. And I think uh it's. going to be a wild environment at Texas. Tech. We know that Pat's going to be. down there in the morning getting them. all frost up. Those fans are going to be. absolutely wild. And I think you may. have our special guest right now, Pat. >> Uh, they're already frothed up. And I'll.

tell you what, it feels like they're. going to be that way forever with this. man as a head coach, ladies and. gentlemen, Joey Maguire. [cheering]. >> Hey, I I watch y'all every day, man. So, it's pretty cool to I'm serious. I watch. you every day. >> Oh, that's not great. We don't love. that. You need to be doing great things. >> You're in You're kind of in the. background. I'm watching film, but I. like, you know, I got to hear what's. going on. >> Yeah, but please have us muted. We don't. need to be influencing anything in your. brain. You have one of the greatest in. the history of football. Can we talk. about your story a little bit? Obviously, I see the Texas High School. Coaches Association.

>> Yes, sir. It's uh coaches day in the. state of Texas. >> High school coaches day. >> Yes, sir. Yes, sir. >> And Texas high school football, obviously. >> Big time, man. It's real. >> Which movie is your favorite about it? Varsity Blues. >> Uh Varsity Blues is great. I mean, it's. really good. But I I'm a Friday Night. Lights guy, man. You know, it's just. that that's what it really is out here. in Texas. >> Okay, so we should watch Friday Night. Lights and understand that that is. actually high school football. How many. years were you a high school football. coach? >> 23. >> Okay. And I heard from Matt Rule, >> my dude. >> Yes. Okay. That's what he said basically.

that he really wanted to sell you on. leaving high school football, but a lot. of people have done that in the past and. you never wanted to leave high school. Is that an accurate uh uh. >> 100%. Yeah. So, I was I we won state in. 2006 and from 2006 to 2016, I had an. opportunity to go to college and uh I. didn't, you know, I wanted to coach one, I wanted to coach my kids, my daughter. and my son and uh and two, at the time. it was like, man, I'm a high school. coach, a head high school coach and in a. great program, and you know, I felt like.

that's what I was meant to be. And then. I met Matt Rule in 2016. It did help my. son. That was his last year. I knew. everything was going to kind of change. for me um with him it being his senior. year, but I met Matt and man, we really. hit it off like what football's about. Uh how you treat kids, you know, how you. grow them into men and and so man, I was. all in. >> Yeah. High school football feels like. the most pure football now with how. business has kind of taken over tech uh.

college football. Let's talk about that. for your school. Yeah. Why is this the. perfect place for you? Former high. school football coach, Baron Morton's. dad, I believe, high school football. coach also for like 32 years. So, it. feels like you guys have a great. combination of like the purity love of. football with obviously good backing. I. drove through some of the deal. Your oil. rigs just. >> Oh, yeah. >> Boom. They're banging. >> Drill, baby. Drill. >> Yes, [laughter] that's what they. certainly are doing. That's certainly. what they're doing. Then they're also. assisting with Texas Tech football, which is awesome. Cody Campbell, I think. his name has come up a lot as a ex uh.

Raider football player, Red Raider. football player who's now in it. But. tell me how that's a perfect mix for you. guys here at Texas Tech and how it. matches maybe the community cuz this. place loves ball. It is very very. obvious. >> Yeah. You know, um I have seven high. school former high school coaches on my. staff. You know, some was only a year, but they were in high school football. and and and so we it's a really strong. staff. It's a a group that loves. football and understands football, but. man, I'm a Texan. I ain't never lived. anywhere else. I was born in Texas and.

and I'll die in Texas, you know, and. hopefully not anytime soon, but I'm. going to die a Red Raider. I I'll be. here for the rest of my life. And and. and so. it's uh this town is built, this is a. true college town. It is built around. this university. And everywhere you go, when you go out tonight, and I know. you're going to have a great steak, I'm. taking care of it for you. Really? Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> Hey, I'm not Hey, thank you for that. >> I got you, man. >> And I I got good meat pallet like the. meat judges. >> Get ready. It's unreal. It's unreal. And.

so like this town is is a true college. town and everywhere you go, you're going. to see the double T. And there is a. great pride in in their football. >> Let's talk about your students at Tent. City out there since Sunday to get in. general admission. Obviously top 10. matchup here with BYU. Are you talking. to your players about what the students. have been doing this week or how are you. kind of treating what seemingly is the. biggest week here in long long long. time? >> Yeah, you you you can't shy away from. it, you know. I mean, they're they see. it. Um my PowerPoint whenever I. introduced the team Tuesday to to BYU. I.

actually had some of the tents, some. pictures of the tents, you know, and I. left Tuesday night at 9:15 out of the. front door. My truck literally is 30. yards away. I got in my truck at 10:46. So it and my chief of staff saved me or. I'd have been there even longer. Hell. yeah. >> I was sign I signed kegs. I signed a lot. of uh Copenhagen cans. >> Hell yeah. A lot of [laughter]. it's unreal, man. And that's honestly.

that I've had so many of the students. come up to me and say, "Man, my cousin. said he got to do this in '08 or my. uncle said he got to do this in '08. This is really cool. I mean, I believe. in the college experience. I believe in. the high school and college experience. And I'm really happy to to make this a. big deal. >> Sports can do that for a lot of. universities. Obviously, with game day, getting an opportunity to go see this. guy's 80 years old [laughter]. >> keg stand out there with the boys. He. said, "Hey, thanks for a good time.

Thanks for letting me hang out out. there." You know, not a bad keg stand. either. I think you want to go 10. seconds. I don't know how many gulps he. had, but the boys were reliving the. great times and sports can do that. everywhere. thankful that you guys have. a good commitment to sports here. Now, speaking of commitment, you have a. couple returners, got some new people. Tone has a question for you back in. Indianapolis. >> Yeah, coach, I do. A lot of people were. so high on on tech coming into the. season because you had so many returning. starters, but then you weren't afraid to. bring in the number one transfer portal. class in the nation. So, how hard was it.

for you because you had so much. returning talent to be like, "Hey, you're great, but we're also going to. bring in some guys that are just going. to supplement, that are going to start.". So, like how was it hard for the culture. to tell some guys, "Hey, I know you were. starter here, but we're going to bring. in some more guys. It's it's going to. make us better in the end.". >> Yeah, it kind of a mixture. I mean, one, you got to earn everything. I mean, if. you start on this team, you earned it. You know, nothing's given. And and we're. >> everything's about competition. I do. believe that real players understand. real players from the standpoint like if.

I was a guy that was starting at. defensive end and all of a sudden Ba. David Bailey walked on campus I realize. I'm not like that guy that's going to. make [laughter] guys going to make us. better and so that's part of it. Um but. I I think a lot of it too is I've been. doing this for 31 years and this is the. healthiest. uh locker room I've ever been a part of. These guys have jailed. And you said it, one of the big reasons is the guys that. were returning. Ben Roberts, uh, Jacob.

Rodriguez, Bryce Ramirez, Baron Morton. They bought into our plan, too. And. they, you know, got behind us, uh, right. off the bat. >> I love what you're building here, man. >> I really do. I enjoy it. Especially the. fact that you're high school football. coach in Texas. I'm sure that helps a. little bit. >> It does. I'll give you another reason to. enjoy, too. You know, Cody Campbell. played for the Colts for so Yeah, man. So, >> I know. And he's got a strong go-to, too. >> Yeah. >> Listen, I I I would like to pick Cody. Campbell's brain. >> Yeah. [laughter] He's a good He's pretty. damn smart. I'm telling you.

>> I I watched the Jerry Jones documentary. I saw an $800,000 rig could be, you. know, I saw $100 million and he's. sitting on a honey hole right now. Aren't we waiting for it to come? You. know, the natural gas. >> I mean, that's what Jerry Jones is. looking for. >> I KNOW. SEE, I TOLD YOU I LISTEN. That's. hilarious. people in Texas listening to. us talk about the honey ho [laughter]. gas and Jared Jones is but literally as. you land here we were driving I made uh. I made first sergeant pull over and stop. in the middle of the street I'm like oh. I got to get a photo of this there was a. stop sign obviously was at a tea or out.

in the middle of nowhere sunrise it was. like a perfect thing and you just saw. like the silhouettes of oil rigs come up. that's people betting on something right. there all of them they have no idea if. it's going to hit and then allegedly if. I get like 30 minutes out of this town. or something like that they'll There'll. be one like every 50 ft. Like people are. just trying to find it. >> It is, man. >> A lot of courage out here. A lot of. scratch off there. >> Well, you know, I'm going to tell you. that's what uh we were talking earlier. That's what's really cool about the Red. Raiders. Like whenever you you go to. different places and you're like, "Hey, this is a big donor. This is a big.

donor. This a big donor." That's daddy's. money. That Cody Campbell didn't come. from daddy's money. Dusty Wamble didn't. come from daddy's money. You know, Mike, they they they bet on theirelves. Yes. And at a high level like like the Cody. Campbell, John Sers, that's double. eagle. So they're called double eagle. cuz they're from Canyon, Texas. The. Eagles, they were high school teammates. So we got two Eagles, Double Eagle. They. were college teammates here at Texas. Tech and went off did two things, you. know, uh, one realtor real estate and.

one was playing professional football. Came back and bet on theirelves. And not. just bet on, they bet on theirelves. where everybody else was running the. other way. >> Yes. On this one. >> Hey, we got one though, [laughter] man. I told you got one. There we go. >> Okay. Yeah. Not two. That's somebody. else. >> Yeah. I don't know who it is, but you. just freaking Yeah. We got one. Yes, sir. >> Okay. Right here. >> I I didn't bring my own. [laughter]. >> We were talking about that yesterday. I. don't know if you saw that. I was. potentially just going to bring my own.

guns and then as game day started I was. going to pull them out you know and then. just fire them off but I didn't know how. you know I thought. >> we can get you some. [laughter] get him some. >> Yeah we thought uh you talked about the. Dline a little bit there about hey when. somebody shows up it's a little. different AJ has a question for you. about that actually. >> yeah coach can you just talk about how. dominant they've been I know you got a. couple velociraptors as you like to call. them on that front but can you talk. about the impact they've had so far this. year. >> well it starts with their leadership you. know we lost and it hurt us in the D. line. We lost Skyler Gil Howard um to an.

ankle. He dislocated his ankle cuz he. was the big voice in that room. Lee. Hunter has really stepped up vocally. with that. But, you know, you have, you. know, we have some guys that uh bought. in to being backups and being rotational. guys that were starting last year and. like Duda Banks and Jane Koffield. So, our depth in the D line is is we're two. to three deep, but Lee Hunter, Romelo. Height, David Bailey, uh AJ Holmes, uh.

Jayen Koffield, they they're big people. beat up little people, man. And and. they're big people. They're extremely. physical and they have bought into Coach. Wood and his defense. >> You talk about big people beating up. little people. I heard the meats around. here. These are big steaks around here. Yes. [clears throat]. >> That's what you're paying for me for. that. >> I got you, man. How many ounces? We. talking. >> Well, you ought to get the tomahawk. >> Yeah, I will. Yes, please. >> No, I got you, man. >> You could be [laughter] around here a. long time. You got So, it's a bit How do. we know the ounces? >> I don't know the ounces, but I It.

usually takes a couple people to eat the. Tom Hawk. So, I think you know you're. coach. Yeah, coach knows [laughter]. that. We're in a We're in a crazy world. right now where it feels like a lot of. coaches, uh, especially purity of game. coaches are trying to get out of college. because what it has become from a. business standpoint. Feels like you view. it a little bit different. Connor has a. question for you actually. >> Yeah, coach, just to quote Shaquille. O'Neal real quick. I owe you an apology. I was unfamiliar with your game. You. were the [ __ ] man. It's incredible. [laughter] Uh to talk to you, but Matt.

Rule, Pat mentioned how Matt Rule. brought up, you know, his relationship. with you and how you guys were brothers. after, you know, the first meal you guys. had together. How important is that to. you just as far as relationships go. with, you know, your coaching staff and. also your players? just because, you. know, Pat mentioned the transfer portal, you really never know if the guy you're. recruiting is going to be there two. years later. So, how how do you kind of. handle that and how how do you kind of. approach uh playerto player. relationships and you know, coach to. coach relationships? >> Well, I'm I'm a players coach and um you.

know, these guys are stuck with me for. the rest of their life whether they're. with me for a year or they're with me. for four or whatever. I've I've done two. of my players weddings and first of all. I'm not a pastor and uh I. >> but you got the uh you got the little. certificate. >> I actually asked Sam Techberg who was my. played for the Carolina Panthers. I. asked him I said are you sure you've. seen me at practice you've heard my. mouth. >> Yes. And he said no coach I I really. want you to do this but man I do. I. think uh. >> I'm a coach because of coaches Harris.

Brownley Tom McCone they made me the man. that I am and and that's what I want to. do. I want to help these guys become the. men that they are, you know, and and I. think it's a need in this world that we. live in today that you got just like you. guys, you got strong role models, male. role models that understand that we're. in a very soft society. And we uh we. have to stand up and be real men. And. and I I challenge my guys every day, but. what I also challenge them every day. with is I tell them I love them. I hug.

them. Um and you know, I I I do I pour. into them. And I think that's why I'm on. this earth. And I think it's a lot. easier to do. It's harder every day, but. it's a lot easier to do in high school. football and college football than. necessarily in the NFL. So, I'm I'm here. to stay. >> Well, I want to let you know I love Hey, jeez. I had no idea what was happening. in this conversation. Looking ahead to. it. I did some research on you. I love. that it was high school coaches day here. in Texas so we can celebrate you with. that. I had no idea everything that was. about to come out of your mouth is who. you are. You might you might be my. favorite coach, coach.

>> I think Rich Ron's your favorite coach, but. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. You're. right. Yeah. >> And I love Rich, but you know what I. mean. Thank you, man. The Pantheon with. Signetti with Rich Rod. He's in the. >> Pantheon. Another stud, man. I mean, >> yeah. Pantheon, I think, is the right. word there. >> What what he's doing at Indiana is. absolutely incredible. I mean, it really. is. >> Similar mindset as you though, too. >> Yeah. >> Dogs. >> Is it easy to find dogs nowadays or No. >> Um, >> you talk about society a little. We. wonder this about football. We don't we. isn't this kind of a conversation we.

have is that all the time? >> Is there going to be dogs forever? >> No. I mean, well, you're you're helping. create them and then you're the biggest. thing whether they're a pup uh or trying. to be a dog is do they love football? Like I mean, you got to find the guys. that love football and or want to fall. in love with it because it's hard, man. You know, you've been a part of it, man. It's hard. It's a 24 like here's another. thing. We have no optional classes at. Texas Tech. So, if you're not if you're. in an in-person class, I'm going to know.

within 15 minutes you're late or or. absent, then you're going to see me at. 5:30. the next morning, I'm going to. encourage you to be on time cuz that's. what men do, you know, like. >> I'm going to encourage you with. [laughter] some stair master or some. >> you know, we got the Jacob's ladder and. I bought the Jacob's ladder on purpose. just for that. >> Yeah. It's encouragement. >> It's But you know, like we've had our. highest GPA in the history of Texas Tech. has been under the last four years of. this uh coaches staff and this academic. staff and and so I mean that's part of. it. Like it's part of being a guy. This.

is what you do. >> Yeah. You also got to show up for your. obligations. Yeah. You know, now on that. note, >> my experience in West Virginia was a. little different. [laughter] I wasn't at. a lot I was at a lot. I would have been. >> Now, I encourage fun. I mean, I did. encourage my guys to I I was. disappointed some of my equipment. student workers were not in the tents. like I yesterday we work out in the. morning on Tuesday and I mean on. Thursday and Friday. So, we come in at. 6:00. I walk I'd gather them around and. I was like, "How was your night? Who. stayed in the tents?".

>> One out of 13. I was like, "Guys, we. we're going to have to read we're going. to have to read." Hey, >> I don't know if they gave the right. answer there. I think we're going to. want to be a part of Texas Tech for the. long haul. Let's go ahead and get out. there in those tents. There was also a. dance party, I think, by 12:30. >> It was I I have a a text group with my. commits. So, the 2026, and this is a unique group because they. stay in that group. Some of them get. their own group and leave me out of it. They leave. So, I'll open my phone and. there's like 50 texts. and there was a.

video of 1:00 am and they're like, "Oh. my god, this is incredible. I CAN'T WAIT. TO GET TO TEXAS TECH.". >> WELL, AMY, the way you describe and talk. about Cody Campbell and the double. eagles, uh, the boys that are kind of. giving back to all sports here, it's. like, why not just build an absolute. powerhouse right here in West Texas, feels like you can do that. Ty has a. question for you back in Indianapolis. >> Yeah, coach, speaking of that, and first. and foremost, I will echo echo Connor's. sentiment as of about 20 minutes ago. Never mind college. You are my favorite. football coach, [laughter] period. High.

school, NFL, >> the Packers, brother. >> Yeah, exactly. You name it. Uh, but just. talking about like what you just. mentioned with the commits and all the. resources you guys have and you said. how, you know, you got people coming up. to you talking about how special it was, you know, in '08 around that time when. Graham Harrell and Michael Crabtree were. doing what they were doing. When you. look at big picture at Texas Tech moving. forward, do you think that it is just as. desirable uh of a school for like these. big high school commits in Texas as a.

Texas or a Texas A&M was? Because it. does seem like, you know, over the the. course of the last however many years. Like it it was it was kind of always. Texas and then everyone else, but it. seems like you guys have kind of you've. really trimmed that gap down quite a. bit. Well, you know, tomorrow is a big part. of this and us getting to the Big 12. championship, which we got to win. tomorrow to do that because we're. eliminating all excuses. You know, uh, we have the best facilities in college. football. And anybody that sits there.

and says, actually, some of these. coaches that try to negative negatively. recruit us, it blows up in their face. because they're like, well, Tech doesn't. have that. And then these guys get out. here and they're like, no, their. facilities are better than yours. we're. sharing at the highest level whenever it. comes to revenue share. So the money is. not the excuse. What we got to check off. is that we can play in all the big games. that we can do everything everybody else. is doing. And that's what this year is. so important important. That's why. tomorrow is so important. And um I do I.

think we can compete with anybody. I. think we've got a great coaching staff. and and we've got a we got a great brand. to sell. 247sports.com. has you guys as the number one. recruiting class in the Big 12. Congratulations on that. You know, West. Virginia's coming for that ass, [laughter]. you know, uh. >> the last week. We got to go to y'all's. place. >> Not good. Scotty Fox is starting to. figure it out. I. >> Yeah, he's I was really I mean, that was. a heck of a win. >> Thank you. >> I mean, that was a legit win that that. >> Yeah, we're find a hard edge right. there, coach. We're tapping the saddle.

I like it. We're tapping a double T. You. ever hop on this thing? >> I haven't. I have not, but I tap it. every time whenever we freaking go out. >> I like that. Hi, coach. I appreciate the. hell out of you. Thank you for taking. time on this video. >> It was an honor. I'm serious, man. I'm a. huge fan of you guys. Appreciate y'all. >> We're a huge fan of yours. Ty and Connor. right there. I mean, we we know a lot. more about you right now. >> All right. >> Yeah. I I think you understand if you do. watch the show. We're maybe too. transparent and tell too [laughter] much. of how we feel. >> That's all right. >> We didn't know much about what was about. to happen down here in Texas Tech. We.

didn't know much about Leach. I don't. think we knew much about Texas Tech. Then we started seeing the videos. Then. I started hearing people reach out to. me. Wolf Matt over here reaches out to. He's like, "Hey, we got to resist all. half for you, don't you?". >> We got you one, man. It's got your name. in it, man. Especially [laughter] for. Pat McAfee in there. Yeah. And I'm like, damn, I can't wait to get down to Lick. and then we hear you talk. It's like you. guys got something special here. We're. lucky to be here. Thank you for having. us and good luck tomorrow. >> Thank you, brother. >> Ladies and gentlemen, coach Jerry McCoy. >> Yeah, coach. >> Love you, coach. >> Man, thank you, coach. Did you guys. comment? You had no idea that was uh get. that much moxy and that much uh you.

know, swagger, I I I I will say um like. when it does come to college football, I. was definitely more of a casual uh. probably five years ago just because. didn't really grow up with a grow up. with a college football team. It was, you know, in New England and Boston, you. only care about the pro sports team. So. when it comes to college sports, I. really was a casual, especially. football. Um that guy is unbelievable. Like are you kidding me? It it that that. was up there with all the signetti stuff. from last year and this year that you. see that's just incredible. And then.

like I mean Ty said that might just be. the best coaches in in football. >> I mean I feel like I just watched Gary. Gaines address a locker room. You know. he said Friday Night Lights was his. favorite movie. I he's got a little. Billy Bob Thornton has Gary Gaines in. him. But no I mean like it just and I. think in Texas more so than really. anywhere else. If you can get a high. school guy who was legit in high school. who can prove he's legit in college like. you can recruit the whole state. And. obviously we've seen like how important. that really is.

>> He's just not afraid to like be himself. He was talking about soft culture and. stuff like that and like a lot of. coaches would would be afraid to be like. oh yeah was signing kegs and Copenhagen. cans and zinc cans stuff like that. That. dude's just who he is. >> Yeah. Now he's leaning in. I like I. believe Pat might be back with us too. I. like that he had a text chain with his. two 2026 recruit group too. Like hey. guys welcome to the club. Next time I'm. sure a kid recruit gets he commits to. Texas Tech. Coach adds him into the. group. Here we go. They're all already. tw That's 20 people there that are going.

to be on that. Uh because they got 20. commits or whatever. Number one in the. Big 12. They're only getting started. here. It feels like legitimately only. getting started. As a horse uh goes. ahead and walks right by there surveying. the field. It is great to see. Obviously, they will be saddled and. ready to go as the masked. >> rider. Raider rider. >> Are you rid Are you Are you Raider Red? Unless it's the human cuz that's two. different people. No, it's a masked. there's a masked rider that.

>> that takes the rider horses onto the. field here. Okay. And this place. obviously goes crazy. We're pang. I just saw the horse walk by. That's a. lean looking stallion. I mean maybe not. a stallion. I have no idea. A pony. Maybe uh whatever the hell. Quarter. whatever. >> Mhm. >> Uh raceh horse. Uh classic Budweiser. Uh. [clears throat]. >> good looking horse. It's not It's a. Thurman. >> Sure. It's at the It's a beautiful. horse. I I will say and I'll tell you. what, it looks like it's got pretty good. grip on this turf out here, too. I like.

to see that. But this place is special. And I was talking to Coach Magcguire. about the um about the meat that I was. about to eat later tonight. And I'll. tell you what, they take a lot of pride. in their meat as they should. Okay, let's look ahead to the NFL slate, shall. we? Sunday Night Football, Pittsburgh. Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers. Obviously, this is a huge game for both. teams. Chargers favored by two and a. half at home. This is the highlight of. the NFL Sunday slate. The Pittsburgh. Steelers once again in prime time. Uh AP. Tone, are you guys pumped about the. Steelers in prime time against this.

Chargers [laughter] team or are you a. little bit worried, bro? >> Yep. You know that I'm not. Uh if it was. a 1 p.m. game, I would be ecstatic. Um. but no, for some reason it feels like. prime time has not been good to the boys. as of late. They get on prime time and. bad things happen and then I got to talk. about it on Monday. It's awesome. Um but. no, the good news is obviously both. tackles are out. Mai Beckton, I believe, is out too. So, they're on three backup. offensive linemen. >> So, if they can do what they did to the. Colts, they should be in good shape. there. Jaylen Ramsey's going to stay at.

safety, which was which was huge for. that game on Sunday. So, as far as like. onfield stuff, feel great about it. As. far as vibes like and what things have. been like in prime time as of late, don't feel great about it. But this is. once again another test to be like, hey, this isn't the same Steelers team that. it has been the last four or five years. This is one where you actually make a. statement on prime time and people. actually talk about you being a good. football team. >> Tone, listen. I think we're all thinking. the same thing. >> What's that? >> You Yers will never be satisfied. [laughter].

>> You see a huge win against the. Indianapolis Colts, the best team in all. bowl and all of a sudden you say the. next week, I don't know if they're a. good team yet. What I want to let you. know is this Steelers team is prepared. and if they can't beat the Chargers on. Sunday night, can they really win a. Super Bowl? You guys should be pumped. for this game going in there, Tone. And. I think you will be as that game kicks. off on Sunday night as we wait all day. And then let's go to the early morning. 9:30 a.m. in Berlin. The Indianapolis. Colts will kick this thing off as 6 and. 12 point favorites against the Atlanta. Falcons. Age, I like where the Colts.

are, especially because the sauce. gardener trade and a big move that took. place there bouncing back off of a loss. But the Falcons, you have no idea who. they are. You literally have no clue who. they are week to week age. >> Yeah, we don't. Drake London, we know. that dude is is really coming into his. own, too. Playing very well. Why? When. did the Colts leave. >> already? >> Oh my god. I just saw the shfter tweet. When was this from last morning? Yeah. >> Oh [ __ ]. >> What happened? >> I don't know. >> He took a. >> take it down. I don't want to see it. anymore. [laughter].

>> At least it's not full season. Just at. least. >> He took a big shot on Sunday. I don't. know if that's what led to this. Uh Troy. Fatanu was you know how AQ is always. like look for ribs. He got one of those. on uh Sunday. So, I don't know if that's. what caused this, but. >> but yeah, that's that's tough cuz that. is the leader of that football the. defense at least. >> The whole team, I think. I I think he is. probably the biggest voice on the whole. team out. Holy hell, what's happening? There's a cape on out here. There's a. cape on. Somebody on the back of a. horse, too. Don't be distracted. Don't. be distracted. Don't be distracted. There's somebody. >> You can't turn your camera to that.

>> Uh, it's outside. It's going to be very. bright. I think the There's going to be. quite a scene. Yeah. Oh, there it is. There it is. There it is. Holy hell. We. got it. WE GOT HIM. RIDERS ON THE STONE. >> GAME DAY match for Rebecca. >> Yes, it is. >> Looks like AI. >> is Mike Fos in the end zone. >> It [laughter] is. >> That is Mike Fos getting things done. You see him? He's got quite a waltz. He's got a lot on his plate, you know, [laughter] all the time and take a. little stroll into the Texas. Yeah, I'll. tell you it was majestic here as I was.

learning about the Deorest Buckner news. I'm looking over here, there's a horse, this beauty thorbred kind of trotting. along and all of a sudden I look at my. screen Shfter saying DeForest Buckner. leader of the Colts is out. That's but. that's quite an interesting place to. live in right now underneath this. [laughter]. 10gallon resist cowboy hat. But on that. note, Deorest Buckner whenever he hasn't. played for us, not great. Okay, that is. just a real thing. So that alarms me a. little bit, but we should be able to get. a win over the Falcons and I'm excited. to see what Sauce Gardner does. So, Pittsburgh Steelers Chargers Sunday.

Night Football, Colts Falcons 9:30. morning football. In the afternoon, you. got the Commanders. hosting the Detroit Lions. The Detroit. Lions favored by 7 and a half heading. into Washington. And I have some. breaking news. I have some breaking. news. Okay. Uh Foxy, could you please. Thank you. There we go. Breaking news. here. Source. s.

>> are telling me that President Donald. Trump will be in attendance for this. Washington Commander game in the. afternoon against the Detroit Lions and. he will actually be there to celebrate. the veteran celebration that's taking. place at halftime. He'll be sitting in. ownership Josh Harris's box and he'll be. excited to celebrate the hell out of the. greatest sport on earth, American. football. So, that's breaking news. Uh, as we do here live from, uh, a tunnel. that the Texas Tech Red Raiders come. onto the field from with a horse saddle.

behind me. Uh, the president will be in. attendance for the Lions versus the. Commanders. And I'd like to go directly. to Foxy. Foxy, how do you think that uh, turns out for the Detroit Lions is 7 and. 12 point favorites. The president of the. country will be in the owners box of the. Commanders. Does that worry you you. think MC is going to be a little bit. worried about what's going on over. there? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. I. love everything about this. The offense. last week had some hiccups. They didn't. look great. So, now they know. President's in the building. We got to. show up. We got to show out. The running.

game is going to be back. We're no. longer to be ass and cheeks. We'll be. back to Sonic and Knuckles that are. going to score a lot of points here. I. love it. The boys are going to bounce. back here. >> Okay, AJ. It's big news. It's big news. >> Yeah, I think Foxy says that no matter. what. He says that no matter what hap. whatever you throw at him. Oh, the whole. team is hurt. The Detroit Lions have uh. three players dressing. He I I like it. though, Pat. I like those [laughter]. three guys we have. >> You got to be worried about NCDC a. little bit here. I mean, there's. probably no one on the planet that he'd.

get nervous in front of, but Trump. >> Yeah, >> you you probably put him up there. You. know, >> head in a tunnel before going to show. out. >> He might have he might have two tins. >> Mhm. >> He might have two tins in his mouth at. one time. Just kind of go through the. anxiety. Maybe too jacked up. At least. two pots of coffee. Two. There's a. chance. Hey, maybe he gets a workout. Holy hell, this horse is staring at me. It's running towards us right now. It's. running towards us right now. Yeah, I. don't know if it's still on there. Uh, nope. It just broke his plane. >> It's gone. Horse is gone.

>> Yeah. For six. >> Uh, yeah. Just scored a touchdown. Then. it went off to the corner there out of. the sight of the camera, but it should. be a big deal. [laughter] The. president's going to the game. It's big. NFL Sunday. Go ahead, Foxy. My initial. thoughts are if the president's going to. be there, kid rock, diehard Lions fan, absolutely has to be in the building, which I love for my Lions. >> Yeah, you're right. And maybe he goes. out there and says, "Ball with the ball, the bang the diggy diggy diggy said the. boogey upg.".

And then he might say when he walks in. there, maybe he didn't meet the owner of. the commanders yet, Josh. And he'll go, "Hi, my name's Josh Harrison." And he'll. go, "My name is [laughter]. right there." I think he hits and he. finishes the ball with the ball right. there in that moment. And uh yeah, that's the spectacle that we're looking. for here. And that's going to be taking. place for the Commanders. So, uh, shout. to the NFL. All eyes always on the NFL. in this particular Sunday slate starting.

at 9:30 all the way till about 1:00 a.m. Should have absolute bangers. Bills and. Dolphins. That one will be fun. Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks. We just. sang the praises of the Seattle Seahawks. with how tight they are. This Cardinals. team we're big fans of as well. Jacobe. Brassette, starting quarterback for them. no matter what. That's an interesting. storyline that's going to go. Patriots. Buccaneers. Con man, how do you feel. about this game? This feels like a good. game for the Patriots fans to find out. >> Yeah, I actually feel pretty good. Some. people took him earlier this morning. That made me feel not great. But now I,

you know, as we talk about the game, think about the game. you know, Amecha. Ibuka, great receiver, but he's kind of. the only one. And Christian Gonzalez now. he gets to kind of, you know, maybe. hopefully give him his welcome to the. NFL moment since I has come in and. basically dominated from the first game. and on. But I I feel good about it. I I. don't know if I should. This is, to your. point, though, a great litmus test. Like, hey, I need to be able to set my. expectations whether it's actually Super. Bowl or whether it's divisional rounds. Like, I need to know and this will be a.

great point for that. NFC West Rams and. Niners do battle. I mean, you got you. got some really good. And then obviously. Eagles, Packers on Monday Night. Football. This is a good Hey, this is a. good slate even though last night's game. was ass, DJ. Even though last night's. game was ass. >> On paper, this does look like it should. be a great slate of games. You think. we're going to we're going to reverse. the the curse we've been having lately. We're going to see some good good barn. burners back and forth. >> Last week we had a good week. Nine of 12. games on Sunday were all one score. skewed by last night's game thinking, "Oh, here.

>> was a barn burn.". >> And two weeks ago and two weeks ago, some of these prime time games have been. a little bit of a big [clears throat]. old poop like the horse that's running. out there poop. But we think Sunday. slate's going to be awesome from. beginning to end. Be a friend. Tell a. friend something nice. We're back on the. other side. $4 million. in prizes and charity as a result of the. field goal kicking contest. And Pat, what do we got going today? Yeah, Ree, I'm happy I can't see that graphic from. where I'm at. Just hearing about that is.

obviously something to make my wife and. daughter not be thrilled. $4 million out. the door because these college kids have. been showing up in such a big way. Congratulations to Garrett Morris here. You were the ticket winner. Uh you are. not going to be the one doing the. kicking. How come? >> I cannot kick. >> Okay, so you're asset kicking. >> I'm ass kicking. I climb rocks. I don't. kick. >> What's your major? >> I'm an accountant. >> Okay, so we're going to be counting. numbers later. Absolutely. >> Hopefully it'll be some numbers off of. >> Jonah.

>> Okay. Uh. [laughter]. >> this is great. >> All right. Jonah. Hey. Uh so you were a kicker in high. school. Is that right? >> Yeah. I I kicked my senior year of high. school. I was the all region kicker. Baby Jordan. [cheering]. >> Oh, really? We got a couple blockers. >> OH YEAH. I think we need a couple. blockers. NO, THEY DO. NO, NO, NO, NO. Your senior. year, what were you? How many attempts.

did you have? >> I had about five attempts. Um, made. three of them. >> You went THREE FOR FIVE AND MADE ALL. REGION. GOOD JOB. >> All region. >> Uh, let's make this for $750,000. $250,000. TO CHARITY. $1 million to the all region. kicker Jonah. Three back, two over. >> He's got a shot here. Time out. [laughter].

>> Time out, dude. We got a timeout. >> Time out, dude. You know what I'm. saying? >> Need for ice a little. >> Yeah, right. We got blockers. >> Yeah. Yeah. Let's talk about We got some. WE GOT A MILLION DOLLAR KICK. WHY DON'T. YOU THINK ABOUT it a little bit? Uh, >> here he goes. Oh, [cheering]. >> no. Good. JONAH, WE WILL STILL DONATE 250,000. >> OH, he called a timeout before the kick. [cheering]. >> He called a timeout.

[laughter]. >> 250,000 is going to go to charity. You. two will get an opportunity to win. $125,000 each. 250 in total for you. If. you're able to make this kick, Jonah, sound good. For $500,000 out the door. [screaming]. Oh, [cheering]. he curled that in. Oh, he Steve's waving. it off. >> I think that was good. I think that was. good, dude.

>> Can New York tell us if that was in or. not? Like they the NFL? >> I think it was good. >> $500,000 after. Jonah, WHAT A STEP UP. CONGRATULATIONS, BROTHER. 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. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or.

ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how Cubans is the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. Hey, let's go. >> This show sticks and [cheering] 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 pick.

>> stunner. Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. Hour two of the Pat McAfee Show. Feel. good. Friday, November 7th. I'm AJ. [music] Hawk sitting for Pat. He's in. love, Texas. Huge battle. BYU Texas. Tech. >> Football. >> That's what it's all about, right Pat? How'd your uh is the Was it the Masked. Rider? Are they still out there? What.

are we doing here? And you got some you. got some new gimmick you have here for. the second out. What is that? What do. you got going on? >> Uh new gimmick. Yeah, right. You see. that logo right there, brother? That's. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes, I do believe, is. debuting some new stuff here at his uh. alumni Texas Tech this weekend. He's. obviously the college game day guest. picker. Just so happened to time out. perfectly for his by-week. I believe. he's down here and he's got some things. set up and uh it is going to be a. electrifying maybe an ice cold weekend.

for Patrick Mahomes down here back at. Texas Tech. Obviously, he has donated a. lot to this school and I think he's done. a lot of business with this particular. school in football. So, you're talking. about a special weekend to be in town. Top 10 matchup. Patrick Mahomes giving. back and a part of the guest picker. I. mean, you're saying that this could be. the greatest weekend in the history of. love. You know, they're talking about. that type of stuff. So, we feel. incredibly honored to be here. And. obviously, Patrick Mahomes at Texas Tech. was something special. I don't think. anybody was talking about him being the. number one overall pick, but every team. that really wanted him said, "This guy. could be the guy." He gets drafted the.

Kansas City Chiefs with Andy Reid. He. sits behind Alex Smith for one season. Gets to play in the final game of the. season because Alex Smith and the Kansas. City Chiefs have already secured what. their seed would be in the playoffs. So, it was a mail it in week. Patrick. Mahomes would go on to beat the Denver. Broncos in that game. And then everybody. would start telling stories about what. he did during the practice squad for the. rest of his rookie year. And then Andy. Reid would move on from a potential MVP, Alex Smith, to this guy. And what would. this Texas Tech Red Raider go on to. become? Oh, a goat by the age of 26.

Everything that this dude has. accomplished is obviously immaculate for. football, but it feels like he's never. changed. He loves this school, always. gives back, and him and Adidas are doing. some special stuff this weekend on. campus. And I happen to reap the. benefits of that in getting free [ __ ]. So, we will certainly say shout out to. them, H. But you need. >> shout out, you know. But Patrick Mahomes. coming out of college, coming out of. Texas Tech, I think there were some. believers, but I don't think like. nationally we knew he was going to be. the guy. AJ, I I don't think it was.

something we knew at the time. They feel. like they knew down here, though. >> Yeah, they knew down there. And. obviously Andy Reid and all of them that. the scouts knew what they said. I I. guess when you go back and you watch him. play in college, we should have known, right? We should have We should have. known he's I mean, I I guess you can. never predict that he's going to be and. do what Patrick Mahomes has done so. early in his career, but still. >> The thing was it was like, "Oh, he's a. Texas Tech quarterback. Of course, he's. going to throw for 500 yards a game. That's what Texas Tech.". Hold on. Hold on. I see it. Holy [ __ ]. >> Whoa.

>> He's got the gun. >> There's a drone. >> This is a rehearsal. >> There's a drone. Yeah, there's one gun. out out there. There's a one gun out. there. One gun salute on a horse. Yeah, that that is a rehearsal potentially. Or. maybe they're trying to get some sweet. shots with the drone for the entire. thing. But I'm sorry, Tone, we. interrupted you talking about Patrick. Mahomes in college. We watched the. highlights and obviously Cliff Kingsbury. loved him. But whenever you think about. projecting to the NFL with that style of. offense at the time, I think there was a. bunch of guys putting up huge numbers, right, Tone? >> Yeah, exactly. like him, Graham Herrell, all the all like the Texas Tech like. Texas Tech air raid type guys in college.

remember all those guys. So it's like. yeah it's like oh he's just one of these. guys uh Colt Brennan but uh but he. wasn't like and that's why he went in. the first round. That's why the Chiefs. got him at I think 11 it was or but he. Yes, he was the best of bunch. It was. not just a system thing for Patrick. Mahomes obviously but he was awesome. when he was down there. >> Yeah. Pat, didn't you get a call uh like. on the old show when we still had. callers from somebody either in Kansas. City or Texas Tech like, "Hey, you guys. need to know Mahomes is the one.". >> Yes. Whenever we were doing our show.

live, we were just a YouTube show at the. time. And as soon as they move on from. Alex Smith, I go to Andy Reid like, "What? Come on, Andy. Like, I I've lived. this football life alongside you. When. you were in Philly, you guys were good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good. Are you ever going to be it?" Then. you get to Kansas City, you have Alex. Smith. finally execute your offense. You. guys are dominating. He's in the MVP. conversation and then you decide just to. move on. It's like, come on, dude. This. feels like a bad decision. Why are the. Chiefs doing this? Obviously, we like. the Chiefs kingdom, but this is a dumb. decision. And then somebody from Kansas. City called in and said that we need to.

have a lot more respect for Pat Mahomes. than we have. And that person was citing. stories he had heard from the practice. squad, from people around town. And I. guess Patrick Mahomes been doing Patrick. Mahomes [ __ ] literally since the day he. got to Kansas City. And the defense for. Kansas City all year was like, "This. guy's a nightmare. What what what are we. even talking about?" That made its way. around Kansas City, I think, as they. make that decision to move on from Alex. Smith. And they were very defensive and. positive of him from the beginning. We. were a little bit negative, but they. they were right. They they they were.

certainly right, AJ, that guy. But also, it goes back to he sat for a year. >> Yeah. >> You know, he did. Yep. >> He sat for a year. So, like that never. really gets brought up in the. conversation, you know, like, hey, Pat. Aaron Rogers sat for like three years, Pat Mahomes sat for a year, you know, now Pton Manning came in and broke the. interceptions record for a rookie and. for the NFL, and he obviously would go. on to do great, but it's like. interesting kind of how everybody. develops, especially the goats whenever. you talk about that level of [ __ ]. >> Yeah. I don't know if you saw this. I. don't know if we can run it back, Pat,

but I don't know if they showed that Pat. Patrick Mahomes' stats from the Oklahoma. game. I almost forgot about was he 50 50. something of 88 for 700 and something. yards. I mean I I do remember when this. happened but now it's been a while since. I've refreshed. 52 of 88 734 yards. [laughter] five touchdowns and 12 rushes. for 85 and two touchdowns. That's that's. one game this dude played. I remember. Yeah. Now looking back gez. >> that guy might know what he's doing. That guy might be good. That guy that. guy might be good at football there. There might be those guys figured out a. little bit.

I mean, >> yeah, you're he's he's spinning it, dude. Every time. And and once again, that goes back to a lot of these. quarterbacks in this air raid system. were putting up such big numbers. So, you'd have some detractors that would be. like, "He's getting 88 attempts a game. He better throw it for 600 yards." I I. mean, what are we even doing here? Like, there were some of those people in the. NFL that were probably maybe saying, "He's not supposed to be the number one. overall guy." But obviously, Andy Reid. and Vch and everybody in Kansas City. knew what that was happening. I will. tell you this interesting technology.

This thing's stretch. It's stretchy. It's a stretchy. >> Is it swishy? Do I hear a swish? >> Is it like a rain jacket? >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. Switchy. All right. >> And it's also It's pliable. It's PL I. >> some alien technology put in that thing, huh? >> Yeah. It feels really nice. This is some. good stuff here. It's got a good good. texture, good vibe. Feels like I won't. be too hot outside wearing it. Although, it was colder than I expected here this. morning. Get off the plane. Tank top.

How you doing? I'm in Texas. Was about. to do a fool. How do you do wind gust? Wow. It is very cold here. Then. immediately I'm told, get down to 35. There's some frozen out here, too. And. I'm like, well, Gumpy told me yesterday. it's 80° there. So, I I don't know what. the hell's going on. It turns out when. the sun comes out, it still has its fast. ball, but it's pretty desertike, you. know, at night in the morning. I guess. it's cold as hell. And I'll tell you. what, we got another ride done. I think. the horse can't see. He's right behind. the upright. So, it's going to be. difficult to catch it every single time. >> Damn it. >> Can they honestly, can you get on Can. you ride like will they let you at least. jump on the back?

name that silhouette that's in that shot. right there. Go ahead and take it to. give me about two minutes here. AJ. >> Gotcha. Yeah. I don't know. I don't I. think you should. What's up, comment? >> Well, I was just going to say like just. I don't even know if we spent enough. time on those stats from that game. >> How like looking at Mahomes for. >> Did it go into nine overtimes? >> But but pull up the Baker stats. How do. you complete 27 passes for 545 yards? Hefty average. >> Yeah, we need to go back and watch. >> 80 yard touchdown. Yeah, [laughter] we. need to watch this game again. >> The tech defense back in the day was not.

>> non-existent. >> Yeah. Yeah. I I was going to say. >> the defense is much better in the Big. 12. I feel like top than it was back in. the day. >> They also didn't have a running game. either. That's what like Mahomes. >> threw his ball 88 times. >> Well, that that might have been why he. dropped too. It's like, hey, this. fucker's arm's going to fall off. [laughter] by the time he's 28. Like he. >> and people just assume that you couldn't. do that in the NFL, too. And that air. raid and all that. Well, that's. different game. You know, you can't do. that in the NFL. >> And that's why college football is. almost better cuz all these teams are so. much more complete. to your point about. how the Big 12 never had defense. Like. now now they got studs all over the. place. BYU, Texas Tech and it's just.

complete football teams. It's. unbelievable. >> Yeah, they And what if if you don't have. a complete football team, hopefully you. got some money to go get those pieces. you need to make your team complete. And. I think uh I think Pat may have a setup. there with the uh the greatest of all. time in college coaching ranks. Pat, what's going on? >> Ladies and gentlemen, the goat Nick Sin. has joined us down here. >> Hey, coach. Coach, tell me your thoughts about us. being in West Texas. I landed this. morning. We're out in the middle of the. fields. I saw some oil rigs out there. The sun was rising. I'm getting told.

that the meat around here is so damn. good. Their tent uh city is happening. outside. They love ball, obviously. Have. you been here before? And what are your. early thoughts here on Love? >> You know, I haven't been to Lach before, but I've been in West Texas to recruit. Obviously, there's a lot of good players. out here and definitely some good. programs, but um there's not a lot. around. >> What? What do you mean? is all I see oil. rigs everywhere. >> Well, I meant people. >> Oh, okay. [laughter] Yes. Yeah, of. course. It is very beautiful out here. and we are certainly out here. Let's. talk about Joey Magcguire. He was just.

on our show. He's awesome. High school. football legend, comes into the college. ranks. Now, he has his school. Baron. Morton, his quarterback's dad, 32-year. high school football coach as well. Feels like that's a large part of their. story. What are your thoughts on Joey. and the program that he's kind of built. here at Texas Tech? I think he's done a. phenomenal job here and uh you know I. sat through the interview with him uh. earlier today and uh you know I'd met. him in 2004. We were recruiting some of. his players. So I've always thought a. lot of them but in the meeting today it. was amazing philosophically [snorts].

uh what a good team builder he is and. how he's done a great job. Uh very. similar to the way I approach things. Winning and losing is the same. always. sort of keep the same routine for the. players. Uh teach the players uh every. opportunity whether you win or lose. And. he's gotten some really good players, but he's also been able to keep the. culture what it needs to be so that they. can play winning football consistently. together. He's built leadership on the.

team. So, you know, we talk about these. players, you know, coming to teams. because they want to make money, but I. think the really good players still want. to develop and uh they're not going to. make the decision just about money. They're going to make a decision about, you know, where can I grow and develop. And the facilities here are fantastic. He designed these facilities. He set up. a program. And everybody in this. organization is bought into doing things. to help the players create value, which. is, you know, sort of the way we always.

try to do it. So, tremendous amount of. respect for this guy. >> Yeah, we talked about the NIL stuff a. lot whenever we're talking about a team. They got a lot of support here from ex. players. A lot of support here from ex. players. And Joey Magcguire, you talk. about him having everybody support. around here. This city is ready to. erupt. This is ready to erupt. >> Yeah. And I think this city is built. around this university, which kind of. makes it a unique kind of a place. And. when you're a college coach, like. Tuscaloosa is built around the. University of Alabama. >> Yes. that that really makes it something.

special for the players. Everywhere they. go, everything seems to be really. important in terms of what they're doing. and what they're investing in. So, uh I. think this is that kind of place, too. >> AJ Hawk has a question for you about a. different game happening this weekend in. a little colder weather. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah, I do. Coach Kirk Herbstre came on. here and he was pretty adamant he feels. like uh Oregon's going to go into Iowa. and going to have a a battle on their. hands and Iowa is, you know, probably. going to get a win there, I guess. What. are your thoughts on that game? We're. not looking for your pick. I know you're.

going to do everything tomorrow, but. what kind of atmosphere are you looking. for? Do you think Iowa was going to give. him a good run? >> And Oregon heard that. >> Yes. >> Well, I I I actually think that uh I. watched Oregon play earlier and they. have some fantastic skilled guys, great. quarterback, but when they've not been. able to win on the line of scrimmage and. when they've not been able to run the. ball and have balance, they they've. struggled a little bit. And I think. that's what they're looking at at Iowa. cuz Iowa's going to be a physical team. they're like second to Ohio State in. terms of total defense or whatever it.

is. So, they're going to make it tough. on them to run and try to make them. one-dimensional. And, you know, that. could be a problem. But, Oregon does. have great skill guys. And if Iowa can't. match up with those skill guys, there. going to be a lot of big plays. But, the. other thing I was going to try to do is. shrink the game by keeping the ball, which is the way they play. Keep the. ball on offense. Limit the number of. possessions the other team has. Run the ball. play good defense. That's. how they win. >> Do you want to say it?

>> Do you want to say what Kirk said? Kirk. just came and. >> we don't need that. We don't need that. >> AJ softened it mightily. Kirk came on. and said I was beating Oregon this. weekend. Sh, don't tell anybody. He did. it on Thursday. It's like, well, now all. the Iowa fans are like, "Thanks, Kirk.". Okay, there was a chance that maybe. Oregon was going to be a little sleepy. coming into Kenny. There's a chance that. Iowa 30° windy was going to maybe just. kind of pop up on him. Not that Oregon. wouldn't be prepared, but he certainly. threw a whole another added conversation. about this particular game. Ty Schmidt,

Iowa grad. What you're hearing back. there is him telling Kirk, "Shut up. He. shouldn't have done that." Right, Ty? That's what you were saying. >> Yeah, that was an alltime generational. [ __ ] move by Herby [laughter] with. how Iowa fans have been feeling going. into this game. >> Well, and I guarantee you that Lanning. had that up on the screen within 20. minutes. >> Yes, he has. He actually did. >> because the greatest motivator for this. generation is if somebody dogs them, somebody disrespects them and you can. use that to motivate your team. >> Yeah. >> I I loved it. I was hoping that you guys.

pick the other team. >> Don't don't be saying you guys me, you. know, don't don't be you're saying. [laughter] we're part of the problem. You're saying we're part of the problem. I want to let you know you know the way. my brain works now. If you were in a. game, there was about 100% chance I was. picking the West Virginia hillbilly. Okay. who was the greatest of all time. in Nick Sabin even did in Georgia. against Georgia as you found out. >> The greatest of all time was what you. did in the Georgia Alabama game when you. had all those Georgia people. >> all fired up about how you're going to. pick them down the track. Yeah.

>> Oh, that that was that you you could. never match that. >> Okay, so now that you know me a little. bit more Okay, now that you know me a. little bit more, think about uh the. transition from guy who I I love. Pollock. Okay, I love David Pollock. He. was a part of College Game Day. who was. very nice to me. I come on and then. Pollock ends Pollock ends up not being. on the show cuz his contract's up. They. don't renew it. Whatever the case, I. wish they would have brought him back. I. love David Pollock. I can't say that. enough how nice he was to me. But. Georgia people were like the great one. of the greatest damn good dogs that. we've ever had gone. This [ __ ] is in.

here. So, they were very I mean they. were a loud bunch against me. Got kicked. out of a restaurant. I got kicked out of. a restaurant in Athens, Georgia. So, think about an entire season of that. with how petty you know I am now. Think. [laughter] about that. Think about that. happening in their yard. It it was like. guaranteed. Now you going out and. getting a win for me, >> coach. Cement it legendary for me. I. [laughter] appreciate the hell out of. you. But yeah, we were vibing in there. We were certainly vibing in there. And. uh that's why college football is great, man. That that type of situation is why. college football is great. Better than.

any other sport that we have in America. The pageantry, the passion, this camping. out stuff here. And you talk about the. school and uh kind of building this. town. sports and football can take your. university to I mean Alabama happened. alongside you guys, right? With how good. your football team was. Better the. football team, better the whole. university was, right? >> No doubt. And I think they the whole. plan at Alabama was to build the team. the build the town around the team and. the university and make it better. And. they absolutely did that because you. know the window that people look at a.

university is through the athletic. program. and you got great passion, you. got all this enthusiasm, you got people. that love it and it's so unpredictable. I think that's what makes it great. So, um it's and I think that is definitely. alive well here in Lovey. >> I think so. Even our softball, remember. that. Uh what's the girl's name? What. was the girl's name? >> The She has a great name, too. We should. >> I'm from Stanford. Yeah, they came from. Stanford. I actually talked to her on. the phone trying to recruit her to come. to Alabama. >> and then Cody Campbell got on the phone.

here. >> and that was it. [laughter] That was it. Uh [gasps]. uh. >> he's a much better closer than me. >> Yeah. Najari Kennedy. Kennedy. Okay. She. was a beast. Led them to the World. Series. So like was it worth it? Yeah. I'd say it was electrifying throughout. the entirety. Now obviously you did a. lot with Alabama. You also did a lot at. LSU. Maybe that's happening this. weekend. Let's go to Diggs back in the. Thunderdome. >> Yep. Coach, you're the perfect person to. ask about this. Obviously this is the. first game since Brian Kelly has been. fired. And it's not like LSU lost all of.

its guys as well. They still have guys. because they're LSU and they're going. into Bama. When you're coaching against. a team like this that just fired their. coach, they have nothing to lose. Is. this a scary situation for for the Bama. side of this of all things? >> Well, I I think that it's a very scary. situation because it's very unknown to. them. How is LSU's team going to react. to this and what changes are they going. to make? Uh the players have nothing to. lose as you said. So, are they going to. play free and easy and just go out and,

you know, try to play the best football. they can? And they probably feel a. little disrespected. I'm talking about. LSU relative to where they are their. season, how it's gone, their coach. getting fired. So, it'll be interesting. to see how they respond. So, this is not. a game that Alabama uh cannot go out and. play their best game of the year. because, you know, for Alabama to me, you know, LSU has a great secondary. Alabama's dependent on the forward pass. quite a bit this year with the receivers. they have in the quarterback and their.

inability to create a consistency in the. running game, you know, makes this a. pretty good matchup for LSU versus their. defense versus Alabama's offense. So, uh, it's it's going to be a a really. interesting game to see how LSU's team. responds. Okay, let's talk about a team. that might have a little bit more free. or maybe a little bit more to prove like. this LSU team because you know new head. coach and everything like that interim. head coach. You got to put them away. early, right? Is that the big thing that. you're push like hey if this lingers.

they're all of a sudden staying in it. that's a empowering thing for the other. team potentially. >> Yeah. I I would assume that when you. play in a game like this, if I were the. coach, I would tell our guys that, you. know, we're we're going to have to play. through the the initial great enthusiasm. that they're going to come out with to. try to prove something. And you're going. to have to change the way they think. And you need to do that by getting off. to a great start and not let them stay. in the game. Cuz if they can stay in the. game and think they have a chance to. win, you're creating a monster.

>> Okay, speaking of creating a monster, Ohio State's the national champions. Nobody's talking about them. Connor has. a question for you, coach. >> Yeah, coach, we had Ryan Day on. yesterday and he he seemingly loved the. fact that nobody's really talking about. Ohio State at number one and feels like. the Buckeye Nation, AJ included, loves. that as well. When you were coaching for. Alabama and you guys were in a similar. situation where you're just so dominant, there was no point really to talk about. the team until later in the season. How. did you use that throughout the season? Was it something like nobody respects.

you or was it something as if you know. nobody even wants to talk about you. guys? H how did you use that to your own. advantage the way Ryan Day is using it. for Ohio State? >> Well, I I always tried to make it about. the individual as much as I could. So. regardless of whether anybody was. talking about us or not, I would always. tell the players, are you creating value. for yourself by the way you're playing? Cuz there are people out there looking. at you. There are people out there. evaluating. you all want to go play in. the league someday. So, what are you.

going to put on the tape that creates. value for you? And that's what I tried. to do with our players. And I tried to. use their own um goals and aspirations, their selfish, self-absorbed, ambitious. sort of attitudes that most great. athletes have, which is a good thing to. me. Sounds bad, but it's a really a good. thing. I tried to use that to keep them. motivated so that they were going to go. out there and play the best that they. could play and not listen to the outside. noise whether it was good or bad or.

nothing at all. Uh I kind of like. nothing at all. I hated it when our. everybody was talking about how good our. team was. That's where the whole rat. poison came into play. And um. >> I tried to give him some I don't know if. you saw uh Ryan Day was on the show and. I told him congratulations you won. You're number one in the first CFPB. You. guys won title. Go ahead. puts crown on. Give you a ring. Do that. He shut up. He. got up and left the He literally got up. and left. We haven't done anything. Fun. is when we win. No fun is when we lose.

He sounded a lot like you to be honest. He he certainly did. And I think he. reached out to you about having. sustained success. But it feels like. he's his big message like let's not get. bored doing the right things. And he's. trying to drive home the same messages. that I've heard you talk about a lot, which is good for Ryan Day. >> Right. And I I think that people have to. understand that success is defined by. consistency and performance and it's not. a continuum. So if you don't continue to. strive to get better all the time, people are going to bite you in the tail.

end. You would say, but. >> well, you [laughter]. just said it as well, but you're right. [laughter] And that's a great definition. of success. Like consistency is the. difference between great and good, I. think. You know, and that that's kind of. like are you there for a little bit? Are. you there for a long time? Well, a long. time means you're consistently good. That's why guys that play 20 years in a. league, in any sport, it's like they are. unbelievable. >> Unbelievable. >> Yeah. It's crazy to think about. We just. talking about Patrick Mahomes. We were. just talking about his entire road, how. he gets drafted to the Chief, sits.

behind Alex Smith. Alex Smith has an. MVP- like season, and then Andy Reid. kicks him out of town, and they're like, "We're going with this guy." And I was. very confused by then all of a sudden he. goes on just takes over the world. And. it's like, well, he has that. competitive, he is in between the ears. everything you want in a player, basically. >> No, no doubt. And I think you just. talked about what makes great players, what made Michael Jordan what he is, what made Tiger Woods what he is, Kobe. Bryant what he is, Patrick Mahomes what. he is. They can continue to challenge. themselves even when they have a.

tremendous amount of success. And that's. just the kind of competitors they are. And I look, I have more respect for a. great competitor than just about. anything. and those guys were great. competitors. >> I like learning why the greats are. great. That's why we uh enjoy chatting. with you because you're greatest of all. time. Now, on that note, you've had a. lot of coaches coach for you and there's. a lot of you in a lot of your coaches. Lane Kein obviously has learned a lot. about and from you. He does it in his. own way. Ty has a question about their. weekend. >> Yeah, coach, Miss has the Citadel this.

weekend. From your experience, how. difficult is it when you're in the teeth. of the SEC schedule and then this late. in the season you play a non-conference. team who, you know, human nature would. say that a lot of the guys are probably. thinking, "Hey, if we show up, we're. going to beat the [ __ ] out of these. guys." How difficult is that? Uh kind of. just the preparation of that going into. a week like this when obviously if you. don't show up and you somehow get beat, that's catastrophic for what you're. trying to do the rest of the year here. Well, ironically, we played the Citadel.

in a similar situation. I don't know, maybe the 10th or 11th game of the year. just a few years ago. And if you look at. the book, we were behind at halftime. >> And I think we might have been number. one in the country at the time. All. right. So, firsthand, I'm telling you, it is really, really difficult to get. your players to play when they've been. playing SEC games that are so important. You're trying to get in the playoffs. You're playing a big game every week. can't afford to lose one trying to get.

in the SEC championship game. Now you're. gonna play the Citadel. No disrespect to. their kids, their players, their. families, or anything else. But it's. just not the same to the players. And. it's really, really hard to get your. team mentally ready to play, prepare the. right way during the course of the week, and then go out there and execute with. the right disposition when the game. comes. And then these guys, that that's. they grew up wanting to play at Old Miss. or Alabama or Georgia or whatever. Now. they're getting an opportunity to play. in that stadium. I'm telling you man,

it's their biggest game of their life. and probably not that big a game for. your players and that's a tough. psychological thing to overcome. >> Yeah, when a dad we hope will just. continue to be who we thought he was. Uh. Fris State absolute stud has gone into. Old Miss and now he seemingly just gets. better and better every single week. Lane Keifin could run that score up on. him too. I mean there could be a lot of. alley oops coming uh on the sideline but. if you let them linger this is the same. thing though you let anybody linger in. college football then there's a belief.

that kind of starts to happen and. confidence changes the trajectory of. games and seasons. >> Well and I think that because miss has. really good skilled players and they're. going to spread them out and make them. you know defend in space and play loose. plays. Uh that's going to be a. disadvantage for the Citadel. So, the. biggest chance they got to stay in the. game is probably to shrink the game, run. the ball, don't give them very many. possessions, and hope they can get some. turnovers and stops. >> Uh, how was the cake? >> Good. Really good. [laughter] Carrot. cake is my favorite. >> Oh, I love carrot cake. >> Carrot cake.

>> Yeah, carrot cake is very good. Also. feels like you're eating something. healthy cuz carrots in there, even. though it's clearly. >> Yeah. Even though the icing is like. really good for you. >> How come you wouldn't sit the hell up? Huh? Why wouldn't you sit the hell up? There's a celebration going on. You're. just there snoozing. You got your. America's best to your right. Two. blankets on top of you there. You're. living the good life. Miss Terry's. bringing this cake. She just SHE MADE. THAT 10 HOURS AGO for you. You won't sit. your ass up first. You got to tell you. to sit up, coach. >> You think she made that cake? [laughter].

>> Yeah, >> Miss Miss Terry found out about catering. a long time ago, [laughter]. >> but she is a hell of a cook when she. cooks. >> That was a beautiful moment showcasing. your guys' relationship. Genuinely, that. was a uh that was a beautiful thing, man. Uh again, >> 74. >> Have we hit it yet? >> I'm trying to get more shots, but these. damn guys I play with are really. difficult. >> You're the man. Thank you so much for. being so nice to us and kind to us. The. world appreciates you. I think you'd be.

the only person if you announced that. you were going to be running for uh. president, everybody would be excited. Do you hear President Trump's going to. be at the Commander Lions game? >> Well, I knew that he was trying to get a. hold of you to make that announcement. That shows how important you are. >> That was pretty weird. I [laughter] got. a text I got a text from the White. House. I got a text from the Hey, this. is insert name here from White House. Okay, this is like 20 minutes before we. go live. I'm like, "Oh, sweet. I've been. talking to the McAfee people, not just. anti virus. Obviously, they got scam. detection and all this other stuff that. they can help you and save you." I. almost sent this number immediately to. them. It was like, "This is [ __ ].

I'm getting a text from the White. House." I respond and they're like, "Hey, uh, the president's going to be. enjoying the Veterans uh, day. celebration at halftime of the. Commanders game. I didn't know if he. wanted to make the announcement he'll be. sitting with Josh Harris, the owner of. the Commanders, and he'll be at the game. enjoying football and Veterans Day. celebration." I'm like, "Is this real? I. have no idea if this real." They're. like, "Yes, we will send an official. email to follow up that you will see. it." We got an email from the White. House. That was a pretty big deal. So, I. of course though you just. >> I forgot you're on the group text with. the leaders of the world. President.

Trump is a great sports fan. He loves. sports. He loves football. He loves all. kinds of sports. And if you ever talk to. him, that's all he wants to talk about. >> Yeah, I heard I heard you were. potentially at a a little bit of a. meeting where there's some business. people, maybe some big time business. people. And and then coach Sabin sitting. there and then the president's there. We. got good music blaring. Obviously, we. got good times. DJT actually being DJT. down there. I heard Mr. President Trump. as the DJ and I heard literally the. conversation was about sports the entire. time with all. >> the whole time. >> That's awesome. the whole time. >> Sports are the greatest.

>> They're the greatest and and it's. amazing how people relate to it and the. competition and the passion that people. have for their team. It's fantastic. >> I don't know Josh Harris's political. affiliation and I don't really care to. look into it, but I do know sports and. stadiums are where people from all. different backgrounds. Now, there's. becoming a pricing issue which we should. certainly talk about. We got to make. sure everybody can still get in these. stadiums because it's a magical moment. all backgrounds, all prices, all. socioamic coming together just to tell. the other team that they suck. It's.

beautiful. Sports are the greatest. >> You know, I I might have told you this. before, but when we won the national. championship in 2003 at LSU, I had Jesse. Jackson was in town for something. I had. to come talk to the team. And when he. got finished talking to the team, he. said, "You know, Tiger Stadium on a. Saturday night is closer to the kingdom. of God than my church.". I said, "You got to be kidding me, man. You ever been in this stadium?" I said, "You can smell the bourbon on the 50. yard line when you're doing a coin. toss." And he said, "No." He said, "You.

know, everybody's got the same goal. The. rules are clearly defined. Everybody's. together in spirit. Doesn't matter if they're. >> short, fat, tall. It doesn't matter. Everybody's together in spirit." And he. said, "That's very difficult to do, but. that's how sports brings people. together.". >> Amen. >> Amen. Preacher Sabin, Reverend Jesse. Jackson, President Donald J. Trump. We. have a hell of a life we're living. We're lucky to do it. We're going to. enjoy the hell out of love. Coach Sabin. will be sent on his way here and then I.

will rejoin you boys to make our picks. to wrap up this beautiful hour. And we. might have a surprise guest appearance. at the end of this thing. But ladies and. gentlemen, the greatest of all time, Coach Nick Sav. [applause]. >> Thank you, coach. I don't know who that. you guys know who he's teasing. A. possible uh possible surprise guest. >> First thought would be Peter the dog. I'm not sure. >> Is Peter Mitch and the whole crew making. the. >> I would just I saw Pete on uh Kirk. Poston last night talking to Bo Nicks. before the game. A bunch of different. people, right? >> He bit Bo Nicks in the hand, right?

That's why he was having trouble. >> Word on the street is Peter was not. happy the other dogs got some shine last. week. So I assume this is a. >> heard him solo mission. Yeah, >> he injured the other dogs. >> It wasn't even about that. It was more. so just uh realizing like why are there. three CEOs of happiness? Like I'm the. CEO, [ __ ] This isn't succession. Okay. I ain't Kendall. I ain't the sister. I. ain't Roman. Okay. Sh the sister. I'm. [ __ ] Logan Roy.

>> Okay. That's what Peter's making a. stand. I got a little I got a little. worried there when Bo Nixon had the ball. in his hand that Peter's going to jump. up and just take two of his fingers. >> That's what I'm saying. Rip a ri a. fingernail off or something like that. >> Oh, I don't know about that. Pat, how's. how does Coach Sabin uh how's he doing. over there? You guys back? There you. are. >> Peter does like the ball. I will say. I've seen. >> Will bring it back though. Will he bring. it back like fetch? >> Yeah, I've seen him around any ball. He. He Yeah, he's a golden retriever. He. will retrieve. I mean that is it's in. his name and his blood. And boy, he. loves ball. I was this morning as soon.

as we got here to campus. Uh Peter was. wide ass open in a grassy field just. getting the ball. to the ball. And the way he slides, you. know, because he's so big, so fast, so. nimble, his stopping, he's like going. around like it's dirt track racing, you. know, like he his ass end is like kind. of sliding out. He is an incredible. athlete. I mean, Peter is. >> very big, but very athletic, very. nimble, and uh he's got great vibes all. the time, but he loves a ball. I mean,

is is Peter's brain at all times. And uh. yeah, I I do love how much everybody. embraces the hell out of him because as. soon as you see him, he his tongue's. hanging out, >> you know, just like. >> he's all ball all the time. Ball ball. >> and his. >> and tongue hanging out. Yeah, I think it. is. I think it is pretty sim I think it. is pretty similar there. Yeah, I think. it is. Coach Sabin is the best. Yep. >> The absolute best. So this morning, uh. what time the meeting started here? Local time. Sorry, as I'm batting the. hell out of my microphone here. this.

morning, what time the meeting started, Coach Sab got in like basically at the. same exact time. So, there was a little. bit of chirping, a little bit of. chirping around the room. I didn't say. anything. I said, "Coach, you you do. whatever the hell you need to do, brother. You're coach Sabin, you do what. you need to do." But that is very. abnormal for Coach S. So, everybody kind. of took their shots at him. Whole. meeting happens. Very end, he looks. around. He goes, "You, Coach Sab, starts. talking [ __ ] to people. You bang bang. bang." It was great sauce this morning. out of Coach Sabin. Uh uh and last week. if you watched uh game day which uh.

breaking news, game day will be available on X on our. account in its entirety. >> Uh so if you obviously are in the middle. of this dispute that is taking place. between ESPN and YouTube TV, if you have. the X account at all, Game Day will be. live on there for the second week in a. row. And this is kind of a trailblazing. thing for X. You know, obviously they've. made deals to get in the content game uh. with the NFL. They got deals with the.

WWE. They're starting to try to get into. the content game in a bigger way. They're starting to be a hosting. platform. They're trying their best. Remember Elon's vision of X is a place. for everything. They want not just. words. We want pictures. We want to. [clears throat] be in content creator. world. We want to do business. He's also. worth, I think, a trillion dollars now. uh as of yesterday, Elon. So his his go. his goals are for X to kind of become. this one-stop shop for place because. especially if they can hub everything. they will. So in the content world,

they've been picking it up big time. So. there's a guy named Mitch over there. that's been really spearheading it with. X and uh Game Day and ESPN trying to. make this a thing because this would. obviously be huge. And uh Jimmy Petaro. needs a lot of credit for this because. he loves College Game Day and what it. brings to people and he understands that. people can be upset about everything. that's going on business-wise. Both. companies are allegedly, you know, in. there allegedly, [clears throat] if. you're listening to what's reporting, a. lot of people obviously attacking ESPN. and Disney for it because they have the. rights for it. It's like, well, I think.

they think that the other side is. potentially doing some stuff and anytime. that takes place, we have no idea how. long it'll be. So Jimmy Petaro zigging. and zagging to try to get college game. day to college game day fans and college. football fans as much as they possibly. can. Don't think they can do sports. right now with the way the deals are the. actual games studio show even though. we're on the road a little bit different. I think whenever it comes to back-end. contracts. So I think they're trying to. work on that as well. But Jimmy is like. we need to get our fans our stuff. We. hear you. We understand that. So, another week of game day being live on.

X, obviously for free. And uh yeah, I'm. thankful that we can be a small part of. hopefully getting, you know, one of the. greatest shows in the history of. television to more people and to their. fans uh that watch it because I'm lucky. to be a part of it. So, yeah, it's. pretty big deal what's happening. tomorrow. I think in the history of. platforms and media distribution, I. think these last two weekends when we. look back like 5 10 years from now, we'll say a pretty big deal in it all. cuz I think X is going to try to get in. the game in a pretty big way. >> Yeah. Why wouldn't they? Especially with. how many people want to watch college.

football, want to watch college game. day. I mean, it's like you said, it's. been an institution. It's just what you. what you do on Saturdays when you wake. up, you watch game day. Like that's what. I think a lot of people have been doing. for 30 years now, however long it's been. running now. I guess. >> it. >> it's an interesting thing though because. on X I think they do have the app for a. TV. I was told somebody uh told me that. I could do that. I didn't know that. I. only X on my phone. I don't really use a. computer. So I understand that X is on a. computer as well. But it's like fun to. think about the next generation which. has been a big deal for game day this.

year. The 18 to 39 or whatever bump or. the 18 to 24 bump this year has gone up. in a huge way. It's like how do we. continue to you know because a lot of. them are YouTube TV a lot of them are. >> they don't know they don't know what old. school they don't even know what we're. talking about like when you these these. issues. X X X X feels like a very good. platform for it. Just easy, you know, just kind of get in there and hopefully. reach a lot of the fans and they know. it's not perfect. They know it's not. easy for everybody that none of this is. good for any part any party. I think. everybody thinks, but like trying to.

figure out ways to make sure you can is. is certainly a focal point for Jimmy in. this entire thing, Jimmy Potaro. So cool. that we're a part of it and cool that. we're part of the future age. Now, on. that note, let's talk about this. weekend, shall we? >> Let's do that. >> Hell yeah. 9:30 a.m. we got a game, AJ. 9:30 a.m. we got a game in Berlin. Now, the. Falcons will be taking on the. Indianapolis Colts. And I don't know if. you know this, AJ, but spre Deutsch. >> Nope. >> Maybe nine. Nine. >> Nine would be the answer. Unbit Pooh.

Unbit Pooh is uh French, I believe, or. maybe German. But whatever the case, I. know a couple things. In gross, beer, beta, donkashair, I believe. I know. Bibliotech. I think that is a library. Uh, flute is something. [laughter]. >> Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, I got a little. German in me. Okay. I I know a little. bit. I've been over there. I actually. love that place. I uh I appreciate the. way that Germans have treated me when I. was over there. I told you guys that I. ended up at a rave in a basement at some. club after a pretty extensive evening.

out on the town and everybody kind of I. mean, it was. >> I've had a good time in there. >> Sometimes people lose organs when they. wake up in a situation like that. >> Yeah. No, everybody. I was vibing with. everybody and I don't know how I had. communicated with these people up until. this point cuz they had very limited. English and I had no German. But boy, we. were having a good time. I was sweating. I came back. Oh man, this is a wild day. here. I I need to. Where are we right now? And you know, [clears throat] uh, one German man, you. know, said, "We're here. Give me a get a.

water." I get out, bang, right down the. block from the hotel. I'd start at a. different place. Obviously, that's crazy. evening. Who knows how that whole thing. goes, but the Germans took care of me. So, I will always be very thankful for. that. But I was also teammates with. Bjure Verer. Obviously, Bjornne and many. other Germans. I I don't want to say. many cuz it's not like a lot of them, but there's a lot of like grassroots. love of football in Germany. And there's. been a lot of people trying to make it a. thing. You go all the way back to the. World League, German people seemingly. love football. And whenever the London.

games are happening, you you talk to a. lot of the locals there, they say it's a. lot of people coming in from Germany. And there's a lot of people, a lot of. big-time fans. And I got a chance to. experience that with Bjornne, and it was. so cool to watch. And he's been a great. representation. He has a bromance show. over there. They sell out an arena. whenever they want to cover games. So, it's like Germany showcasing their. fanhood uh is another cool thing that's. going to be happening. Uh but also, the. Colts are very over there because of. Bern. So, I'm excited for the. atmosphere. I'm excited for the morning. I'm excited for Germany. And I believe.

we fly the fluke into victory lane. And. uh I think we're having gross beer bitas. afterwards and I think the Colts cover. whatever the spread would be. AJ. >> Yeah. It's uh what Colts are six and a. half point favorites right now. Do we. know what when either team left? Like is. that a whole thing now? The travel days. like how many days you have before you. play the game there. That's always been. >> Colts left yesterday. I don't know if it. was morning or night. It was definitely. dark out. But we're we're starting to. get to the time where it's dark out all. the time. >> Yeah. Starting to be starting to become.

that in Indianapolis. We got a couple. good sunrises happening, but that thing. is going to be very limited moving. forward with the way, you know, fall. back clock schedules go. They left at. night. It was dark, so I don't know if. it was yesterday morning or yesterday. night, but they were posting on socials. I think Eddie uh Edin James is over. there. Dallas Clark is over there. Bjorn's over there. I saw Kalin cutting. a ribbon at some thing going on. So, it's like they're trying I think the. culture trying their best to say thank. you to Germany because I think we do. have a lot of fans over there. >> Yeah, I was going to say I think it is. >> If you believe in If you No, you know,

you're good. if you believe in good. karma. Uh I believe I saw Dallas Clark. and the big three rower there and the. Colts wasted no time. They build a. playground over in Berlin to kind of say. thank you. So yeah, I mean you know. obviously you got Karma on your side and. they're also the better football team. which doesn't hurt. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Edge and Dallas Clark going over. there. Bujornne I believe was in the. back there next to Blue is Bjorn. Uh if. you see on the top right photo, I. believe that quadrant one. >> Do they know how aggressive blue can be. with people? Do the Germans understand.

like what he did to Foxy and he's done. to other people? >> He cream pied Jane this morning, I. believe. Jane Ashley Slater. >> It was a good pie. It was a strong pie. >> Yeah, he cream pied. He He did the. classic, you know, cream pie that he. does all over everybody right there on. Good Morning Football. I was Boom. Blue. came in with the cream pie. >> That is blue football. Honestly, that's. part of blue football that people don't. really talk about enough is that Blue. will get you with a cream pie. No matter. where you're standing, you can be in the. United States of America, you can be in.

Germany. You're going to catch one of. these cream pies from Blue because. anybody can get it. Especially whenever. he's dealing it. I am excited for Blue. to experience Germany. Especially. Berlin. And you know there's a lot of. history in Berlin obviously with Here it. is. Look at this. AJ, >> you thought I was joking when I said it. >> I did. >> Look at Jane. I think it's her birthday. Happy birthday. And you get a. >> cream pie right there. >> Got a clean. Interpol's going to be. looking for him by the time he's. >> Oh, there it is. There's his classic.

move. >> Yeah, he's got good girrations of the. hips. I think he takes a lot of pride in. that. And I like that he pump faked her. a little bit cuz she was ready for it. the first time. He said, "Nope, this. like slapfist came with a second one and. [laughter] she nope." And then he got. with the third one. That's classic blue. football. So, I'm pumped up about the. Colts being over there. I like the Colts. minus 6 and a half. Is there any other. lines, Tone? >> Six. Six and a half across the board. >> Give me the Colts, too. >> Eight. Last week I said I I said, "Hey, I I got. to go with him until they prove me. wrong." But I I'm sticking with him. I.

think coming off a loss. Yeah. The Colts. figure it out here. >> Yeah. Just only big worry is backtoback. bad be John Robinson games. He has not. looked good the last two weeks at least. running the ball. >> So you're saying he's. >> I'm not saying I'm not trying to sway. Okay. >> What's the field look like in Berlin, too? Are we going to have a normal field. chunky field? You got to wear 9 in point. tip top shape. >> out of the scary The thing is no Deorest. Buckner. >> Yes. Yes, >> that's that's the scary thing with no. Bjon. That that is a very scary thing. So 6 and a half might be too much, but. I'll roll with the Colts. Giants. Bears.

Bears. I think it's supposed to be 30°. if I saw the uh weather report accurate. Not that that would affect the New York. Giants. Bears favored by 4 and a half. there at Soldier Field. Anything we need. to know about this one, boys? >> I don't think so. I think it's just one. of those situations like uh okay, can. the Bears uh stop anything? And then for. the Giants, you know, run running game, how's it going to be? No, no more scat. Is that going to continue to be a. problem or, you know, will Jackson Dart.

squeeze one out for day bowl? >> I know, uh, cuz Bruce was talking about. it yesterday. The Giants have some. secondary uh, injuries that are probably. going to be game time decisions. So, look at the injury report to determine. what their secondary is going to be like. uh, in that situation. But, as far as. lines go, you can get anywhere from four. to five on this one. >> Bears also banged up. Uh, >> okay. Bears a little banged up, but it's. also football season, so you never know. what's going to happen when the ball is. kicked off, you know. >> Yeah. Have to find a way to get that in.

the Thunderdome. Ju just for the record, let's TM, let's let's dump this and make. sure we get that done. >> How about me announcing that President. Trump's going to be at that game taking. that camera? [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> The amount of people that are going to. see that they're going to hate me so. bad. Doofus in cowboy hat. looks. ironically into camera to his side to. announce that the president is going to. an NFL game. Can't wait for that. Been. in those pools before. I like the. Chicago Bears minus 4 is what I heard. from Diggs there. >> Yep. Is that - 4 - 4 and a half?

>> Uh four is the lowest you can. >> All right. Give me the Bears minus four. as well at home. Pat. >> Ravens Vikings JJ McCarthy's on demon. mode, bro. Okay. Nine is going ham ski. He is so lit. And Lamar is seemingly all. the way back. The sports books thought. that the Baltimore Ravens when Lamar. came back would be all the way back. He. proved that his first game he threw for. four touchdowns. I will take the. Baltimore Ravens minus 4 1/2 against the. Minnesota Vikings. Even though I can't. wait to watch nine do his thing out.

there, AJ. >> Pat, you could get him at minus three. and a half. And if you did want the. Vikings, you get him all the way up to. four and a half. Did anyone see the. tweet that said, "If we're going to have. to defend this [ __ ] this guy better. bring us a championship." Talking about. the demon, the nine thing. Well, a lot. of people are saying he threw for 140. yards, so [laughter] let's go ahead and. relax. But he ran in for a touchdown. Okay, he ran in for a touchdown. It. feels like the boys love him and that's. who he is. I think that's why you. couldn't have another quarterback in. there with him. You know, like last year. Sam Darnold, he gets hurt and. >> I think he's alpha. I think JJ is an.

alpha alpha and I think the team loves. him. I think they like him. I think KC's. good, but I just like the Ravens on. their comeback tour because the sports. books have been calling them the AFC. North favorites for weeks now. So, it. feels like they know something we don't. Maybe Baltimore's all the way back and. Chuck Bagona might have the boys. rolling. Give me the Ravens minus four. and a half. >> Yeah, I think so. I would take the. Ravens and I believe we can get it minus. three and a half, right? Tone. Okay, we. got we both have the Ravens minus three. and a half, Pat. >> Okay, that's good news. Let's go. Saints. Panthers. Panthers favored by five and a. half at home. I will take them just.

strictly because I watch their miked ups. and I like them. >> The Panthers as well. Yep. >> Da Dell I believe is questionable, but. if we know anything about him, he's. going to be ready to go. >> Yeah, he's going to play. Yeah, they're going to get the Rico. Yes, they [clears throat] certainly are. Uh Buffalo Beals against the Miami. Dolphins. Beals favored by eight and a. half. Let's head over to a table of. optimism here. Gumpy, what should we be. thinking about this game? >> Uh Bills can't stop the run. That's the. one thing we are kind of good at with. Achan. Olly Gordon should be back. Maybe. Jaylen Wright not a healthy scratch cuz.

he's very good at running the ball. Other than that, uh Russul Douglas. possibly out. Our whole secondary. possibly out. >> Okay. So, who did you guys trade away? Cuz I heard somebody say it was the best. day of his life when he got traded away. from the Dolphins. >> Jaylen Phillips. Yeah. The weather is. nicer in Philadelphia than Miami. >> He didn't say that, did he? >> Yeah, that's what he said. And he got. the most Instagram likes he ever got on. a pitcher. >> Yeah, but I thought [laughter] like he's. missed that part. I missed the start of. it. I missed the best day of his life. >> He's not about to be excited. >> Yeah, I mean, I thought I was excited.

day one. I mean, talk to me now. Like, this is literally the greatest thing. that's happened to me in my whole life, [laughter] probably. Um, but it's just. awesome. I mean, the guys are awesome. >> Pause. >> What? >> That's good. Did you hear it there, Dumps? Did you hear? >> Let's hear the whole clip. We can't be. topping things like that. It's not good. >> Under the arrest of it. He said it was. the greatest day of his life. >> Everybody's been super welcoming. Um, I. love the the environment here. I love. the vibe here. City of Philly, you know, giving me a very warm welcome. I got. about 20 times uh the amount of. Instagram likes that I ever got on a. post before from the Philly fans. So,

shout out to y'all. Um, but yeah, it's. been great so far getting out there. practicing. I love the weather here. I. love the locker room. Everything is. awesome. >> What makes it the greatest? >> He likes he likes football weather. gumps. Don't blame him for that. He. loves everything else about it. It's the. greatest day of his life getting traded. to the Eagles. >> I'm happy for Jaylen Phillips. He's a. very good football player. He deserves. it. >> All right. On that note, I'm not picking. the Dolphins against anybody. Uh who do. you have in this one? AJ Hawk. >> I will take shockingly I am going to. have the Buffalo Bills here. Minus 8 and.

a half. >> Cleveland Browns New York Jets. Okay, I'll take the uh Browns, I guess. Uh. minus two and a half. >> Minus one and a half. >> Yeah, I'm taking Brownsus two and a half. as well. Yeah, we're we're green on a. lot. >> Yeah, I think we're starting to see the. board now. Is that a good thing for you. or bad thing? I've not been getting a. lot of NFL games, right? Although. college, I feel like I'm potentially in. my bag this season. Jacksonville. Jaguars, Houston Texans, AFC South. battle. Tone, is there a percentage of. money on this one anywhere?

>> Yes, there is. Let me uh pull it up. real. >> Who's the quarterback? >> The the quarterback I'm not sure is. Douggee Mills. >> Yeah. Is Doug Mills, but I I hate to say. it, the these Texans are figuring it. out. That defense is still that defense. And Douggee Mills is a junkyard dog. We. know that. >> And 69% of the money is on the. Jacksonville Jaguars. Cuz unlike this. program, a lot of the country does not. believe in Davis Douggee Mills. Like us, >> we love Douggee Mills. Five years ago, we love Douggee Mills. Now, we didn't. even know his name was Davis cuz we. called him Douggee so much. actually.

[laughter] So that's why he's still. Douggee Davis Mills. I will take the. AJ. Who do you have? >> JJ Watt will be in the booth. Give me. the Texans. >> plus one and a half. >> I'll take the Texans as well. >> Oh, it's such a bad number. It's such a. bad number. >> I know. >> Yeah, it is. >> I'll take the Jacksonville Jaguars minus. one. I'll do that. >> Jags minus one. >> Let's keep in mind the Jags uh did in. fact go to overtime with the Raiders.

That's a good ball club. >> Maybe maybe it's just because we're. fresh off the. >> good and close games is what you're. saying. >> I mean the. >> Jacobe Meyers edition. >> I'll take Yeah, give me the Jags. I'll. take the Jags. Jags minus one and a. half. You're on the Houston Texans. I. like it. Patriots Buccaneers. We heard. Connor chitchat about how this is good. lit test and you know how Patriots fans. should feel good. I mean both these guys. MVP conversations. What the Tampa Bay. Buccaneers are with Baker Mayfield. Awesome. What Drake May and Mike Vrabel. have been able to do with this Patriots. team. Incredible. Stefan Diggs all the. way in. defense ready to roll. AJ, who.

do you like? How do you like it? >> When I first uh I guess walked in here. today, I was leaning heavy Patriots, but. you know what? You pop this graphic up. Give me the Give me the Bucks right now. I see Baker. I see him competing. Maybe. jaw back and forth with Braves a little. bit. Wake them both up. Give me the. Bucks. >> Okay, I'll take the New England. Patriots. The Bucks have ruled out. running back Bucky Irvin, says Ari Mirro. of My Sports Update. Chris Godwin and. Hassan Reic for Sunday. So, I will take. the New England Patriots plus some. points in Tampa. Let's do this thing. Con, man. Cardinals Seahawks. I think we.

like the trajectory of both of these. teams with the decisions that they're. making. I love the Seattle Seahawks and. I'm just going to pick them no matter. what they're favored by going forward. AJ. >> Yeah, I I am uh I'm on the Seahawks. bandwagon as well. We got Seahawks minus. 6 and a half at home. I think they. cover. >> Yes, sir. >> Uh Los Angeles Rams favored by four and. a half going into M. Jones and the San. Francisco 49ers. any information we need. on this one, Tone? >> Uh, obviously we are still going to get. M. Jones at quarterback. Obviously, the.

the Niners have dealt with a plethora of. injuries all around the field. I believe. Ricky Pearl is still out. The defensive. line has been dealing with injuries. Uh, but other than that, I think we're all. good there. And the line is four and a. half across the board. >> Okay, I will take the Los Angeles Rams. minus 4 and a half because I think. Matthew Stafford has quite a day there. AJ, who do you like? Man, I was trying. to talk myself into taking the Niners, but I love that Rams Dline. I like how. they get after the quarterback and. obviously what Matthew Stafford can do. Puka, all of them. Give me the Rams.

>> With a halftime celebration of the. veterans taking place with President. Donald Trump in the owner suite, the. Detroit Lions traveled to the Washington. Commanders as seven and a half point. favorites. Some updates on Jaden Daniels. elbow. It was dislocated, but nothing. was really torn. They said it's a very. positive uh diagnosis after such a nasty. injury. Give me the Detroit Lions minus. 7 and a half against the Washington. Commanders. Even though the. commander-in-chief is going to be there.

with the Washington Commanders, AJ, >> yeah, I'm going to have a tough time. picking against the Detroit Lions here. Foxy, I'm with you. Give me the Lions. minus. That's a lot of points, but seven. and a half. I'll take it. >> Quick stat for you guys. Jared Goff and. Dan Campbell after a loss or 21-8. against the spread and they've won 12 in. a row against the spread after a loss. >> Pretty good. >> Okay, so we like where they're at. Seven. and a half probably took that into. account, too. The sports folks probably. saw that and took that. That's a lot of. points. I respect the Commanders. I like. the Commanders. I appreciate what.

they're doing this weekend, but I like. the Detroit Lions to get a big win. there. And then Sunday Night Football, the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the. Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers. favored by two and a half at home. [clears throat]. Whose house? NORMALLY RAM'S HOUSE, WHICH. CHARGERS HOUSE NOW. Justin Herbert, obviously megastar out there in Los. Angeles. He's in a celebrity couple. He's being seen around town. He's. drinking beers and he's leading this. Chargers team to a potential awesome. outcome with Jim Harbaugh as the head. coach. Hortiz has been dialing it up as.

GM. And then the Pittsburgh Steelers go. all in this off seasonason. They're. paying 30 million to a wide receiver. They're bringing in a Hall of Fame. quarterback. They're bringing in DBs. They're trading for tight ends. They got. magic happening in their building is how. they feel. Fresh off a massive win over. the Indianapolis Colts where their. defense looked like what everybody. thought their defense could be all. season. Does that continue AJ or do the. Chargers get a massive home win as. favorites by two and a half? >> Yeah, I think it does continue for this. Steelers defense. I think they found.

something. They're going to they build. some momentum, some confidence. Uh I. like Jaylen Ramsay at the safety. position. He's super physical and we. know he can cover. So give me Pittsburgh. minus two and a plus two and a half. Plus three get. >> plus three. I would take it. Pat. Pittsburgh. >> All right. I would take the Los Angeles. Chargers minus 2 and 1/2. Okay. I I. would take the Chargers minus 2 and 1/2. at home. You got the Pittsburgh Steelers. plus three. Pat Fri scores a touchdown. last week and executes a beautiful punt. celebration. I want to let him know the. drop was perfect. The swing was. immaculate. I really love and I love.

what that Pittsburgh Steelers team is. doing and I can't wait to get back to. Pittsburgh around that draft and make. some magic. I don't want to break any. news. No spoilers. We're going to be. doing pop-up shows around Pittsburgh. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday before the. draft goes live and then Thursday we'll. be live at the draft and then Friday. we'll be live there as well. A week in. Pittsburgh taking place around the. draft. Cannot wait for that. Look out. for Rudy Sub's parking lot maybe on. Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. The. greatest sub in all of Pittsburgh. So I. love what Steelers doing. >> but I like the Chargers. Um.

>> ladies and gentlemen, I believe there is. a special guest here. Con man, as you. were about to echo some sentiments of. people that don't know what they're. talking about. And whenever you think. about Texas Tech, you think about, you. know, Cowboys, you think about all you. think about, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS is. Centennial Champion, a 9-year-old. quarter horse that did not win anything. when he was racing, but has become an. absolute superstar here at Texas Tech.

The masked rider is uh the lady that is. currently with Centennial Champion. Uh I. believe we're trying to get Can you. bring it all the way? What? I don't want. >> a horse behind the podium, right? >> That's amazing. >> Yeah. Can a Centennial Champion come all. the way up? Hey, Centennial Champion. [laughter] How you doing? >> Centennial Champion. >> Get a mic on. a headset for. Yeah. >> Give him some [clears throat] ears. I'm. getting you sit up there and do the. best. >> Hey, how you doing? >> Little [laughter] majestic creature. >> Beautiful. >> 9 years old quarter horse.

>> Is that accurate? And you are the mass. rider? >> Yes, sir. >> How many mass riders are there each. year? >> There's only one mass rider. >> Wow. Each year the Yes. >> If you get hurt. >> And I'll hold it for the one year and. then we'll transfer to the next one. >> Okay. And how does it work? You're going. out of this tunnel or you are already. outside and then you take it 100. >> You right in front of the field the. field post and when the the band cues a. song then he knows it's ready to go. >> Centennial Champion. Go Horse. This a. good pony. >> Yes. >> How many people did she beat out for. that gig? >> I'm sorry. kind of starting to body me a.

little bit [laughter] here. >> Centennial Champion, I can't wait to. watch you tomorrow. I appreciate you. Thank you so much for letting uh. Centennial Champion stopped by. Good. luck on the ride tomorrow. >> Thank you. I appreciate it. >> Thank you so much. >> Nice meeting you. >> Very nice to meet you, too. Good luck. out there. Thank you, Centennial. Champion. I'm getting away from the ass. >> Shoot them. Yeah. [laughter]. >> Projectile you. >> Hey, I grow up in a hockey town. That. horse was setting me up to check me, I.

think. Did you see that thing turning? I. I was kind of getting a little bit. trapped here. Horses are majestic. They. say they're smarter than the average. animal. And I want to let you know that. horse did not have a good vibe about me. Might have known this this hat that I. have on is not necessarily one that I. wear every day. I think that horse was. sniffing around and saying it's a. fugase. I think that's what just. happened. >> He was letting you know his boss. >> He said, "This is my tunnel. This is my. tunnel.". >> I don't know if you saw anything, you. know, underneath that horse, but he was. certainly letting me know that he. [laughter].

on that note, have the greatest weekend. of all time. We'll be live from Leach, Texas tomorrow morning for College Game. Day on ESPN. Also on X and ESPN Plus. Have the greatest weekend of all time. We'll see you on Monday. Goodbye, beautiful people. >> Nice. Got it. You nailed it. >> See the hat? >> It's perfect. >> You see that? I did one of those. >> Real Texan. Real cowboy. >> I did one of those. Wanted to get the. pick. >> Oh no. Yeah. >> I thought we all froze for a second. >> I didn't know Walt.

>> Oh, here we go. You're back. >> We're back. We got lost. Yeah. Wanted to. get the picks. >> Yeah, we went I wanted to get the picks. in because I knew horse was hanging out. right here staring at me. So, great work. on that, boys. Way to power through with. the information. and then wait. I I. think we should be proud of that horse. just kind of walking in here, strutting. it, stuffing, and walking the hell out. I I think that's exactly what we needed. there for a good Leic Friday. >> Yeah. Can Can we now revisit uh the. controversy of Rudy Subs not being the. best sub in Pittsburgh? Per Pittsburgh. people, >> nobody said that. >> What did they say?

>> Have I been lied to? >> Every single time we've gone back to. Pittsburgh, listen, I love Rudy Subs. Every time we've gone back, it creates a. memory. I love sitting at the back of. the tables, circle tables, eating my. sub, eating my fries, and I've been told. every time, "Best sub in the city." And. then yesterday, out of nowhere, someone. from the city tells me that's not the. best sub. What the hell's going on here?

>> [ __ ] you. [laughter]. Foxy, I I don't like that you just. thought that you needed to post that. somebody said that. And the person that. said that is currently on a microphone. We know that. And the person that said. that has the worst. [laughter]. Oh, he's not on a microphone. He's not. on my that the person that said this. that's no longer on a microphone would. be never considered on the meat judging. team down here. His pallet is how we.

like to describe ass. Okay. He's got a. bad pallet. That guy's taste buds have. no idea what's good and what's not good. Then we started pressing this person a. little bit. Well, what is the best sub? AND HE SAID FOLI. [laughter]. >> NO, I DIDN'T. >> THIS GUY SAID FOLI. >> I DIDN'T SAY THAT. >> I HEARD rumors of that. Yeah. >> Listen, I I was just in a mood, so I. just said something. I immediately. regretted it. Rudy subs is the best sub. in Pittsburgh. Okay. You said nothing. >> Yeah, that's what he'll say. That's what. he'll say. This guy is full of it. And. we need to remember this whenever we're.

doing a little pop-up show. Maybe from. Rudy's on draft week. Okay, maybe we. need to rest in. >> I do think [laughter]. >> Mr. S was my first ever employer. >> Voice of the Mustangs. >> Oh, he was loved. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, that's awesome. >> He was awesome. >> He was a He was. >> That's another Mustang first. [laughter]. >> And he's saying that in heaven now. He's. saying that in heaven now. >> Rest in peace, Pudgy Wy the cat. >> Mhm. >> Oh, I I did. >> Pudgy the cat has nothing to do with. Rudy. >> Thank you, Pudgy. There's a memorial for.

him inside of Rudy's. Well, that's cuz. Rudy respects greatness. >> Uh, no, it's just a photo. >> Wonderful photo. >> Stuff them. They do that now. They do. great work. You can stuff your animals. >> He's in he's in. >> Well, you can clone them, too. And Mr. S. ain't doing that at Rudy. Okay, so don't. you worry about any of that. All you. need to know is that draft week, Monday. popup show somewhere. Tuesday pop-up. show somewhere in Pittsburgh. Wednesday. pop-up show somewhere in Pittsburgh. And. then Thursday's draft. Friday we'll be. there as well. So, draft week in.

Pittsburgh should be pretty insane. And. we'll make sure we're eating the best. sub in town in Rudy's. What did Kaboli. say? What did Kaboli say about this. entire thing? We know that he's eating. some 8hour old Rudy's subs that has been. sitting in his cargo pockets. >> So, when I sent the tweet out, I said, "Who's a part of the Pittsburgh meat. eating team?" Definitely Mark Kaboli. So, I said, "Kaboli, is this true? Is. Rudy's not the best sub in town?" And. I'd like to mention he never said that.

Rudy's was the best in town. He never. said which one it was, but he never. outright mentioned Rudy's is the best. sub in town. And that's a little. concerning to me. And from Mark Kaboli, I think he would know personally. >> He never said it wasn't either. That has to be taken into account. >> Sick of it. >> Guys eating microwave mayo sandwiches. I. don't know if his opinion really. matters. >> Thank you, Numpy. Uh there's been a lot. of slander and then guess what? I had a. little text conversation with somebody.

that isn't a part of the office as this. is all taking place. I have a text. message conversation with somebody. I'm. like, "Hey, you know, I plan on doing a. show live from Rudy Sub's parking lot. because there's been a lot of slander. Going to be difficult. I don't know if. they got enough power. I don't know if. we have clearance [laughter] and I don't. know if they have enough service, but. we're definitely going to do that." The. response I get from this person, okay, Rudy Subs, question mark. Is that Ann. Lick? >> Who is Who is this person? I even know. about Rudy. >> Okay. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, we all do. Okay. We all do. Now, on that note, we.

got to get out of here. Before we get. out of here, though, it is a special. member of the Thunderdome's birthday. list. >> [ __ ]. >> And uh. >> yeah. Uh. >> I [clears throat] just read a note. I. hope you read it, [laughter]. >> please. Usually, we have a cake for any birthday. that happens at the Thunderdome. We. attempted to today, but very apppropo to. the situation, the Door Dasher bringing. the cake actually got into a car.

accident. [laughter]. >> Joining us now is the birthday boy. A. man who is no stranger to car accidents. at all. Happy birthday, Mitt. We love. you, buddy. [applause and cheering]. >> No cake for you, Mitt. No cake for you. They were driving like you. They crashed. it. Uh there's no cake at the office. I. don't even know if Mitt showed up at the. Thunderdome after what happened to the. Raiders last night and everything like. that, but Mitt, we love you. We. appreciate you. You're the best, dude. You worked your ass off. Obviously, you.

Sorry we don't have a cake, man. >> Sorry we don't have a cake, brother. It. crashed. You understand what happened to. that Door Dasher? >> Well, uh it's a tough bounce. At least. it was not into Bill's house this time. So, uh, it's been a great week here and. great year. Thank you. >> Yeah, we love you. We love you, man. >> Baby, [applause]. baby. >> Thank you, talk, for getting candle in.

I am uh very excited to kind of. experience this place. >> That tomahawk. >> Yeah, >> I'll tell you. Nope. Not going to say. it. >> Maybe though. >> Got to have it. Coach, got it for you. I. got I know, but I got like a. two-year-old daughter. Uh I got like six. jobs. There's a lot going on. Boy, these. Friday nights these Friday Yeah. I guess. there's a little bit more, but the. Friday night uh falling asleep has been.

They got meat down. here. They got good meat down here. >> It's good tarp. >> Patrick Mahomes got really good stuff. with uh Adidas. We need to remember. that. They're making some massive. announcements this weekend. I I know. what they all are and I don't know what. I'm allowed to say, but there's some big. [ __ ] coming out of the Patrick Mahomes. camp tomorrow morning. I would say I.

think pretty big. >> There was one person in here who thought. uh that surprised guest was going to be. Patrick Mahomes. So, uh he he was. definitely surprised when it was the. horse. Very happy. >> Contential champion. Yeah, >> there was no chance Patrick College. [laughter]. >> There was no chance. But on that note, we're lucky that we get to do this show. We're very appreciative that we get to. do this show. Thank you all so much for. allowing us to do this. And uh hopefully. next week's shows will be better, but we. doubt it. Right. >> Doubt it. >> We doubt it. >> It's a good show.
