The Pat McAfee Show Live From ESPN Studios | Wednesday July 29th 2026

[ __ ]. [screaming]. [screaming]. state of Al. today.

The running. >> in Berkeley, California. >> You got it. >> [music]. >> This one for three. AJ Hawk. $5,000.

[music]. HEY, [music]. HEY, HEY.

You make me watch my hands up its. up again now. [music]. >> [music].

>> USA, USA,

Come on in. Oh my god. Happy. feel.

>> [music]. [music]. >> The following program is a collection of.

students 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 humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, what? >> Let's go.

>> This show stinks. And the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful. >> On the line with a gorgeous assist, >> the alltime [music] leading tackler for. the Green Bay Packers, you. stop. >> Damn it. Your friend, tell a friend. something nice [music] could change. their life. sport. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome to. Bone Tech live from the [music] ESPN.

campus on this Mike Foss town. This. program starts now. football. >> WE ARE LIVE FROM Mike Foss's town as. Foss is having a town hall and what you. just witnessed there is bone on a jib. camera here at ESPN the worldwide. leader. We're very grateful that he has. been given the opportunity to do as such. and we'll see how he pulls this. [laughter] off. He put his best. All. right. Hands on the wheel. >> Yeah. >> Let's keep the hands on the wheel here.

We are thinking about adding a Go ahead, Bone. Go ahead and work that thing a. little bit here. >> We're thinking about adding a jib to the. Thunderdome. And if we were to do it. such, we would have to have somebody. operate it every single day. And this. man that is currently operating this 15t. jib I do believe maybe 20 foot jib uh is. a man who should not be doing as such. but if he is able to accomplish it here. today we potentially add one in the. thunderdome he picks up another job. which is obviously alarming and scary to. all of us but could potentially make the. program a little bit better and that's.

what we're hoping for out of bone today. So, he's a national champion football. player, obviously. He's a graphic. designer. He has things hanging off the. side of his head that very rarely work, but inside of those two ears, he's got. an artistic brain. Hey, good luck out. there, Leo. >> Hey, go get him, Bone. >> Go get him, Bone. >> Please stay locked in. He want to give. it another thumbs up right there. I know. it. Uh, it's not just me up here in. beautiful Bristol, Connecticut for, you. know, Mike Mike Fost's tan. >> You know, this is kind of his town. hall. We're very excited to be up here. for him. We're excited to hear, you.

know, uh, his vision on what he's. thinking about, you know, what content. can be, what ESPN can be, especially in. such an important time in which we are. existing. The NFL training camps are. starting to cook every There he is right. there, by the way. >> Wow. >> Wow. There he is. >> What a head shot. >> E Mike, >> let's go. Fos, >> I like the way this guy operates. Former. soccer player, was in the MLS for a cup. of coffee is how he would describe it. not acting like he is a uh incredible uh. soccer player but certainly very very. good at it. I believe he has like a.

grade 45 in coaching of soccer is. obviously I think his dad uh was in the. production world here at ESPN for a very. long time. He created forthe wind.com. you know you remember that he created it. end up selling it to ESPN has been. working here in the digital front he is. 37 years old I believe he's the youngest. executive vice president maybe in the. history of ESPN and uh we're proud of. him. Hey Foso, Fossil. >> Now, with that being said, he's your. first time for a first impression for a. lot of people. >> That's right. >> Got a lot of people listening to old. Fosso. We'll see how he delivers. We.

expect him to do uh great and we're. lucky and honored that uh we're at the. same time he is. We appreciate the hell. out of him. He has obviously made a lot. of great things happen, but nobody has. made anything better happen than sports. have as NFL training camps taking place. right now are providing so much drama. Trade requests, hold outs, tweaks here, tweaks there. Is this person hurt or. looking for a new contract? Are they. pissed at the team? How about superstars. coming out and making big plays? How. about a team really have no quarterback? You know what's going on in Atlanta? Is. everybody okay? We have no idea. Chef.

will be joining us in about 7 minutes. His Twitter over the last like 24 hours. here has just become update after update. on updates of things that have happened. in the offseason that have obviously. shown up for the first time here at Tren. Camp as everybody has reported and. everybody's trying to get a get a. Lombardi. But who's potentially going. off the rails before it even starts? >> Seriously, >> there's a chance it could be you. Pittsburgh Steelers fan at Tone Diggs. Next to at Tai Schmidt, nine-year NFL. vet Darius J. Butler looks super cool. Got a magic eightball in front of you. and a Yukon Husky helmet. I'm excited to. see you kind of do that Rubik's Cube as.

well. I sure. >> I saw a meme. I don't think your. microphone's working again. Uh I saw a. meme where if you just do the right. side, the one. >> back towards you. Yep. >> And then the top two, you do a doubler. spin and then you go back to the top. One, two. One, two. >> This one's on. >> Yeah. So, I was a gimmick one or. >> Yeah. But I've seen a kid do that while. juggling it in less than a minute or. something like that. So, I would expect. that entire table over there to get that. done one time. Boys, it is a great time.

for sport. Tone. Everybody is back at. camp. Odds are shifting. Odds are moving. on who's going to win what. Whenever you. think about college football also coming. back as we have Big 10 media days as we. are live from Bone Cam right now here on. ESPN's campus Tone whenever you look at. the Big 10 media days we'll have Dan. Lanning joining us here in the second. hour there's a lot of odds at the top of. that Big 10 and for the past three years. >> Yep. >> this Big 10 media days has provided us.

the national champs and it's been three. different schools. The SEC you know is. kind of taking it on the shins. Bilma up. there in Illinois is like the SEC has. got sweet accents. They got sweet. culture. Obviously, we love everything. about it, but this ain't 2003 no more. This is a whole new era. The Big 10 has. a lot of puffing of their chest. happening right now, as they should. Sports books are saying the same damn. thing. Maybe a little bit deeper this. year than they maybe were in past. And I. think that's only going to continue. >> Yeah. When you go for the trifecta, the. backto backto back with Michigan, Ohio. State, and then last year with Indiana,

like you can do that. You can puff your. chest a bit. Now, we were talking like. it's things aren't as loud as loud as it. was last week with the SEC media days. There's not as many personalities you. have at coach, but I mean the teams at. the at the top, Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, all have a chance to win a. national championship this year. It's. crazy that they they've gone back to. back to back. We Belma who was in the. SEC is making the news because I think. he gets media day and I think he's got. that personality. But I I would I would. not be shocked if we get a fourth in a.

row Big 10 champion this year in college. football. Obviously in the odds say that. too because Ohio State's at the top, Oregon's at the top, IU and then Notre. Dame as well. >> Pete Faml uh said he's he thinks. Indiana's running it back. He's not. really a pundit normally. I think I saw. that he he likes what Indiana has done. Obviously, they bring in a new. quarterback. Is the quarterback going to. be able to transition as quickly out of. TCU to Indiana? Kurt Signetti has also. started draft or recruit drafting kind. of recruiting out of high school. Okay. which is kind of the draft and then. there's a free agency happening every. single year unless they're able to get. the college football thing done. He's.

drafting five stars now. You know, he's. got five stars committing to Indiana. It's crazy how much can change in one. year, but also college football, >> there's a lot of question marks going. on. >> Oh, and you seen the new deals that have. been taking place. There's a lot of. money going on these patches. Notre Dame. signed a $20 million sponsorship annual. deal with SoFi to be a patch on not only. the football jerseys, but also all of. the other sports. I do believe Ohio. State signed like a $17 million a year. deal with 15 million going to for the uh. football teams patch 2 million to the.

other sports. So I think that kind of. >> yeah that'll give you. >> gives a little bit of a openness on how. money kind of is working for the NIL. which I think is also a part of the. entire conversation on how much goes to. football, how much goes the other sports. cuz I think if you listen to a lot of. people that are trying to get those. stuff we want to save the other sports. too. We more sports better we think. Granted, there is a business behind. everything and you have to be able to. survive and somebody has to fund it all. But I think with these patches and these. sponsorships, more money is getting in. there in a big way. Sofi, 20 million a. year to Notre Dame athletics. Not that.

they need it, but that is an. unbelievable precedent setting type. trailblazing type deal that could take. place. And then you saw the Big 12, they. they gave up. >> Yeah. everything. [laughter]. The whole conference got 20. The whole. conference. And I I think I. >> But I think at the time that was like. the first deal. It's like, "Hey, this. good idea.". >> They war dogs that. >> Yeah. And they certainly did, especially. with that's West Virginia's in the Big. 12. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. They are. >> They're treating the Big 12 like it's.

the rest of the sports at Ohio State. Okay. Like 15 million's going to Ohio. State football, 2 million to the other. side. I don't know what Notre Dame is. This is what's happening to the Big 12. We're like literally on the other side. >> Unfortunately, >> what's that? We need more patches. NASCAR these uniforms. Well, [laughter]. and I think they did say that they can. sell their own patch as well. The the. monster one was just for the entire Big. 12. But this underscores what, you know, we've been talking about for a while is. like everything runs through the North. I mean, Notre Dame, Ohio State, these. other programs like what what is I don't.

know if Michigan's done yet, but it when. they do, that'll be crazy. Penn State, like we really haven't heard many SEC. schools making news like this in terms. of like sponsorships on the jersey. like. it just, you know, and that's and that's. that's again why you can kind of maybe. point to the Big 10 and say, "Hey, this. is where everybody wants to be. This is. where everybody wants to put their money. at." And at the end of the year, usually. the Big 10 is, you know, their their. return on that investment. >> So, I know this is the landscape we in. I get it. And money talks those numbers, $20 million a year, $17 million a year.

But I hate it, man. I hate seeing a. patch on. I'm not even a fighting Irish. fan, but seeing it's like sacrilege. like the Yankees jersey or USC or Penn. State like those are like iconic old. school jersey. Now we're seeing Pat like. SoFi, Chase, great companies and once. again money. Yes, [laughter] this is the. landscape of college sports. But. >> I don't know, man. >> It is weird. >> I don't know. >> There's going to be people that are. upset about it. And then uh you know, Pete Pvakqua or whoever is going to come.

out and say, you know, with the SoFi. deal, we were able to blah blah blah. blah. Everybody's going to be like, oh, God bless. God bless. Actually, we can I. guess we can do it. Everybody's going to. do it. I mean, that's just modern day. But you're right. It is uh kind of. sacrilegious to a lot of people, but I. think West Virginia should understand. that what Big 12 did for them, not. necessarily what we have to do here, >> patch that thing. >> Yeah, exactly. A fast pro shop. >> That wouldn't be I mean, if we can get. some big money, as long as we. >> the old golden blue, you know, we keep. that thing in. There's got to be a.

creative way to put some. >> I mean, it's gold to blue for now until. some company wants to come in just. change. >> No, for the right price. >> Listen, we are certainly open for. business, I think. Well, we understand. that the state would like West Virginia. to remain West Virginia, >> but if we can tweak it a little, I'm I'm. speaking out of pockets cuz I don't make. these decisions, but I think I can. probably sway him a little bit if we can. get enough money. Uh, if we can tweak a. little bit, if Notre Dame's willing to. tweak a little bit, if we can tweak a. little bit and maybe get ourselves a.

>> couple offensive linemen. offensive linemen. >> I heard Ohio State's putting Chase. symbols on their helmet helmet instead. of Buckeyes this year. Okay, don't say. that because the Ohio [laughter] people. that's a good idea they will actually. that that is something which I guess in. Notre Dame would kind of be a similar Oh. yeah type effect. Okay, college football. obviously changing everchanging. The NFL. always cooking. I mean especially now. with training camp reporting. There's a. lot of people having to talk for the. first time. There's a lot of medicals. we're learning about for the first time. and there's also stories being corrected. publicly in a huge way. Joining us now.

ladies and gentlemen is senior NFL. insider Michigan man Adam Shfter. Chefty, how you doing? >> What's going on? >> Hey, uh I do appreciate that we're back. in the time of year and not that it ever. stops, but we've seen you maybe relax a. little bit. You you're I feel like this. is one of those 19 20our Oh, yeah. >> days since you've been in your Twitter's. been very active. There's been a lot of. news coming from a lot of different. places and we're going to try to tag it. all today. But we want to let you know. we understand the stress and anxiety. you're going through at all moments in.

these types of days and we appreciate. the amount of pressure you put on. yourself. We do. Take that. Maybe the. tweet out 2 3 seconds before everybody. else and that is why I love uh the fact. that you come and share your brain and. your knowledge with us. Okay. The Kyle. Shanahan story continues to kind of. [clears throat] infiltrate and evolve. and change. Yesterday it was reported. that he called other reporters in to. correct a story that had been told by. the state I believe uh that he was. swerved into where he said no that was.

not the case at all. I dropped my phone. I went down to pick it up. I actually. swerved into 21-year-old girl who was. driving on the other side. And first of. all, obviously very noble of him to come. out and do that publicly. But I think. this also adds to the fact that we. didn't hear about this for a long time. Can can we and then now the original. story we hear from state is like not. even an accurate assessment. So can you. is there ever been anything like this. before in the NFL? And do you think the. scrutiny of how it's all been talked. about is warranted? And is he okay? And.

is she okay? like what do we think the. end result of it all is? So, it's kind. of an empty canvas there, but I would. like you to address how we learned about. this quickly and then there was a a very. legit story release and then nope, that's actually completely opposite Kyle. Shannon saying then we're learning of. all this other stuff. Like, has this. ever happened before in any of these. types of stories? And why do you. >> Every story is different. And when we. posted our story on Saturday, we had. spoken to the police and quoted the. police and the police said that there.

were no alcohol or drugs involved, which. there weren't and they said that they. would did not site anybody at the time. of the crash in the police report and. they said that there would not be. further updates. So the police are the. ones that control that information. initially and that was as far as they. went which we had in our initial. account. Now, at the same time, there. were reporters that went into the. records and found out that I guess there. was some citation with Kyle had a phone.

in his hand. And it came out that the. other rep, the other driver was at. fault. And I think frankly that when. Kyle saw that, he. wanted to set the record straight and be. accountable that it was not the fault of. the other driver. That he briefly. dropped his phone, which he told to the. reporters yesterday. He briefly lost. sight of the road and that was enough to. cause the collision that he blamed on.

himself. Now again, that's the actual. version of the events from him that he. told the reporters yesterday. It evolved. and he did not want it to come out that. the other driver was at fault. >> It's awesome. So that. >> we respect We respect and appreciate. that. It's just it's been a crazy. whirlwind that one of the most famous. NFL head coaches out of nowhere was had. a crash couple weeks back. He's very. lucky to be alive. Oh, and also it's. somebody hit him. No, actually he it's. it's just it's been chaos to begin their.

training camp. We're happy uh person. that got hit. Okay. Also, Kyle happy. he's okay, man. He he said he was. trapped down there in by the wheel. whenever that whole conversation. happened. So, you could see how arm. might have hit shoulder might have hit. wheel trapped down there. It's like this. is a nice reminder to all of us. Hey, come on. And I assume Kyle's going to be. pounding that drum very loud. I. >> I assume he's going to become a part of. that cuz obviously anytime you hear this. story, especially hearing his version of. it, it's like, man,

>> I guess that could happen. >> anybody. >> You can't have it. Like we got to we got. to be a little especially I'm a. motorcycle rider, so that's very scary. stuff. But anybody I think this is a. nice reminder that this all can end very. quickly doing something that we all do. every single day since the age of 16 for. the rest of our life. So this is a nice. perspective putter, I think, for all of. us. I think he's going to in time. speak more and kind of get behind the. idea of. not being on your phone like and he.

wasn't on his phone. He he literally. dropped the phone and went down to reach. for it. >> Yeah. >> And when he reached back up it was like. it was instantaneous. And I think he wants to be able to use. that in time to send a message about how. dangerous it is to take your eye off the. road for the briefest of moments. Yeah, and they checked his phone for the time. of the accident if there was any action. on his phone. He was not on his phone. That did come out, I guess, is something. I believe I read. So, we appreciate the. fact that he wasn't on his phone, but. any distraction, phone certainly being.

one on in the modern day. Nice. perspective, uh, putter and a reminder. for all of us that you have no idea what. can happen that quickly. Okay, now let's. pivot away to some of the onfield stuff. taking place. Uh, CJ Stout. Okay, so he. had a rough playoffs last year. >> And if he would have had a great. playoffs last year, obviously different. story. Maybe the Houston Texans win the. entire Super Bowl with how great their. defense was playing. They ran into the. New England Patriots. He had four or. five turnovers, I think, a fumble, four. interceptions. Everybody's talking about. he shows up yesterday and admin more.

like ad win. [laughter] You know, this. video gets uh this is up over this. Everybody has seen this video, okay, of. him walking in. And the words to the. admin who's obviously out there ad. winning with these numbers is we should. have never seen this. Why is this how he. looks? Everybody's saying he looks like. he's got no confidence. He lost his. aura. Is he limping? Maybe it's just how. he walks. Like everybody is roasting CJ. Strad right now on the internet. Okay,

there's contract conversations obviously. taking place with the Houston Texans. We. believe in CJ Strad since the first time. we seen him in the Peach Bowl whenever. they lost to Georgia after they missed a. 55 yard field goal or something. Literally as New Year's Eve struck when. we saw him play live in person. We said. this is a guy. He comes out as the best. rookie season of all time. Houston. Texans start doing well. Then he has. terrible playoffs, doesn't play his best. over the last couple years, everybody's. out on him. What is the conversation in. Houston around CJ? Because on the. internet they're saying this guy looks.

like a third string offensive lineman. showing up at his first day of high. school camp. >> High school. They're saying he looks. like a third string high school. offensive. That's what they're saying. about our guy CJ. >> I can see it. That's a tough That's a. tough look. And how how many views is. this thing up to now? Probably 200. million. >> 20 million [laughter] views. That's a. tough look for QB1. >> Okay. So he is QB1. He is CJ Strad. We. believe he has the conf face. He don't. care what he looks like. Now should they. oppose that? Is this a Let's ride. situation potentially. But what is the. conversation in Houston around CJ in the.

building for the team for his future? I. >> I had never seen that video until you. just played it and I didn't realize or. would have any idea that caused the. furer and controvers what what was what. was the everybody saying that he he's. lost his confidence and he looks big. Is. that. >> looks like [ __ ] or a list? They're. saying. >> I mean the outfit stinks. They're. saying, "Yeah, they're saying his walk. looks a little They say that there. should be a a horn behind. like one of those." That's what people. are saying. The internet's really good.

I mean, they're just saying he doesn't. look like a guy who's going to be a. starting quarterback of a Super Bowl. winning team. And it's like CJ Strat, I. think, is very comfortable in who the. hell he is, but the internet doesn't. want to hear that. And then obviously. has a bad playoff experience. Everybody's like, "What? Is this the. guy? Is this what everybody thought he. was going to be?" Like that literally is. the outside combo though. We're just. trying to figure out what the inside the. building, which is the only convo that. really matters, is happening, you know. >> So, we're going to make judgments off. the way he walks and looks as he goes. into the train. >> Yes. That's why quarterback. Yeah. Just.

like Bryce Young with that backpack. >> Yeah. Yeah. Bryce Bryce had a Honda. Civicized backpack and boy, people were. not happy about that. They make the. playoffs, by the way, so maybe this is. an entire different story. But what is. happening in the building uh around CJ? the organization is absolutely behind. him and the organization would like to. get him resigned to a contract and even. though he did not walk in with the. swagger and the aura that people are. looking for the Texans are behind the.

guy like he's their quarterback moving. forward and I think they're going to try. to move ahead with a contract extension. this summer and again Nick Cacario the. Texans general manager came out this. morning and said that they've had. conversations they want to get that deal. done it doesn't sound like they've made. a whole lot of progress yet, but I think. it's something the Texans are going to. keep trying to work at. And boy, I had. no idea that walking into a training. facility would cause all kinds of. reactions like that. >> Well, well, I think people are fresh out. of the playoffs. They haven't really.

heard of him or heard from him since the. playoff performance where they're. burying him, which is I think a good. thing because a couple of the offseasons. in which he didn't have his best years, which a lot of injuries happened around. the Houston Texans. He was traveling the. world being a professional athlete and. people are like, "Well, let's go. Let's. lock in because remember after his first. year this guy was going to be the. greatest quarterback of all time in the. NFL. I mean he changes I I have we do. have an update though. Here's him. skipping in day two please down the. steps. >> See ah. >> much different. >> if he had the backwards hat on in that.

original video changes everything. Watching his like uh Instagram video. that he put out. If he would have had. the backwards hat on in his first video. would have been fine. >> Flat bill completely fine here. Look at. Skipping by his uniform. Yeah. Yeah. He. looks up there is. >> he looks. >> looks a little more spry. >> That guy's got pep and energy right. there. Right. >> That's what See, this is what people. would say. They like it. Now granted, the internet's been wrong about a lot of. things. Yeah. >> Okay. In the history, but they've. they've mostly been funny. [laughter]. >> So, we we do have to kind of weigh both.

of those things. You say they're trying. to work out a long-term deal. 50 60. million a year. Like, is it going to be. the new highest of all time? Is that. what. >> I Well, we'll see where they come in, but I I would think it would be right in. the range of some of the other top. quarterbacks if you looked at it. There. are a number of quarterbacks in the 50s. Um I mean, nobody's asked me my opinion. there in that negotiation, but that's I. would guess it would come in that range. somewhere. Yeah. >> Yeah. Because CJ has Hey, we won the AFC. South. We've been in the playoffs. I've. won games. Like for his first contract,

>> three playoff wins already. Yeah, everything that he's done like his agent. can certainly say there's no discount. here cuz I threw because he threw four. picks in the playoffs. It's like first. of all really good defenses, terrible. weather, and yeah, did play like ass in. that particular game. Can't happen going. forward. But when he showed up, they. were talking we pay this guy less than. Gardenner Mchu. That's what they were. saying about him. >> And the Texans have already kind of. shown how they take care of their stars. cuz Will Anderson was drafted in the. same draft class. He already got taken.

care of. Derek Stingley Jr. I think he. got taken care of at his third year at. the top of the market. So like Shifty. said, I expect this deal to come in at. top of the market. >> Okay, there's other stories obviously. happening around the NFL as training. camp's happening. What's going on down. there in hot Atlanta? Ty Schmidt. >> Yeah, Shy, do we have any more info. about what the hell is going on with. Atlanta's quarterbacks? Tua apparently. had a back injury that maybe he suffered. not too long ago and it flared up again. Pennock said he might be out for four. weeks or or who knows. They have an. undrafted uh free agent who's taken.

first team reps. Now, what do we know. about uh what's going on with the. Atlanta quarterback situation? >> I I think it's the curse of Kevin. Stfansky that wherever he goes, there's. a lot of different quarterbacks, right? It just it's it never seems to fail. But. look, it comes off a certain way on the. first day of on the- field work, but I. don't think it's as bad as it looks. right now. We've got a situation here. where Tua basically woke up last week. and had some discomfort in a muscle. area, lower back, glute area, something.

to that effect. Not considered serious. >> Stfansky said he's going to be back. sooner rather than later. And they said. he'll be back by next week. Maybe even. sooner. That could be. So Tua will miss. a few days in all probability. Hopefully. the muscle area calms down. Uh, PennX is. coming back from the knee injury. He. said today he's about four weeks away. roughly from being cleared and we'll see. if he can get back out there any sooner, but again, four weeks would be a.

realistic timetable. >> They released Trevor Simeon. They signed. Cooper Rush to have another arm in. training camp. But I think what what's. interesting to me about this is Penn. will miss four more weeks. So to me that. becomes more challenging now for him to. come back, pick up the new offense. He's. going through the drills, get through. everything. Can he save off Tua? >> No,

>> he's running a race trying to catch him. from behind. >> Yeah, and Matt Ryan obviously standing. right behind him there. Uh we we the two. clips are from mini camp. Uh so we don't. want to confuse anybody that these clips. aren't from training camp obviously in. the first couple days, but the Atlanta. Falcons obviously going through a little. turnover. little change. Matt Ryan back. in the building and boots on the ground. Excited to see what type of team they. become. Now, let's go to a city that's. on a lake. Let's go to a city that. hasn't had a ton of success. They had a. quarterback uh win a playoff game and. then they kicked them out of town. Now,

they're trying to find that type of. success yet again. Let's go to Cleveland. who just handed out a massive bag. Go. ahead, Dud. >> Yeah, Denzel Ward. Uh the team hasn't. been great, but he's been pretty great. since going I think fourth overall to. the Browns. They just rewarded him with. the 2-year 62.2. million deal to make him the highest. paid corner in NFL history. How did this. come together? And uh any updates on. Devin Witherspoon out in Seattle and. Christian Gonzalez in New England. >> and Joey Porter in Pittsburgh is another. one who has. >> Okay,

>> there we go. I mean, we got we got some. contract itis that is going across the. league right now that are plaguing guys. It's very contagious and you don't. [laughter] want. contract itis. It's it's real and it's. going on in Pittsburgh. There's a case. of it in Detroit with Jamir Gibbs. There's a case of it in Atlanta with. Bejian Robinson. And so, look, we've. seen some cornerback deals get done. Uh, we're going to see more cornerback deals. get done. Denzel Ward comes in now. I. would imagine that Devin Witherspoon. would be the next one to go. I don't.

think right now they're close, but. that's a deal that could come together. pretty quickly and I would think get. done at some point this summer. Gonzalez, I think, would go after. Witherspoon at this point in time, but. we've got deals for corner. And Joey. Porter is going to come in somewhere. there as well while he's not practicing. His his back flared up. His back flared. up. >> Yeah, I heard I heard Vita had a little. flare as well. I heard Yeah, I heard he. had a little bit of a tweak, you know. >> He tweaked something. He tweaked. something. There's a lot of tweaking. going on. That's that's one of the.

primary symptoms of contract itis. >> Yeah, I've heard. And also hold in itis. Yeah, it's always a little bit of a. tweak. Yeah. Head coach Todd BS of the. Buccaneers said, "Yeah, V is not. practicing. He's he tweaks him." And. then we watch him walk around. It's like. he does look like maybe he has a little. neck, you know, a little bit the way. he's kind of standing there. Maybe could. be his looking kind of grabbing his neck. right there. Look, >> guy. Maybe you take your hat off because. it's a little bit too heavy for you. It. looks like they're jovial. You know, Danny Smith, new special teams.

coordinator down there in Tampa Bay, too. He is an electrifying. Oh, your. neck, your back, my my neck, my back. [laughter]. You know, he actually did that probably. I like that Va is having positive. conversations. There has been hopes by. people who would like to see Vea be a. one helmet person both around Tampa. obviously and then around the NFL as a. whole. Is there a chance that Veas. remains back with Tampa Bay or do we. think that this is uh long gone and. everything he's doing here is just. because he's a good guy, but his. decisions already been made? Look,

they're not looking to trade him right. now. At least that's what they say. But. at this time last year, Dallas wasn't. looking to trade Micah Parsons either. He wound up being traded later in the. summer. So these things are fluid. evolving situations. I don't think Tampa. wants to move off Vea. Let's see how the. feelings between the two sides evolve. over the summer. Let's see how his tweak. heals or doesn't heal over time. Let's. see if they're able to bridge some of. their differences on a contract. We've. seen a lot of big defensive tackle deals. get done this off seasonason. Cincinnati.

trades for Dexter Lawrence, reworks his. contract. Jaylen Carter becomes the. highest paid defensive tackle in NFL. history. The Eagles also reward Jordan. Davis. VA is seeing these numbers and he. knows he's at $18 million and he's. saying, you know, where's my money at. this point in time and so it's a case. where basically there are a lot of big. numbers and he wants to make sure that. he's not playing this year on the last. year of his deal at 18 million. >> under that. Understand that you also. have a hard out in about a minute. We. have to ask about two running backs. Last one here, Tone.

>> Yeah, Chefy. Right now, the top of the. market is 20 million with Saquon and. CMC. Gibbs uh of the Detroit Lions and. Bejian Robinson of the Falcons are. sitting out today while they are looking. for new contracts. Do we think those are. going to come anytime soon? And are they. waiting on each other? I think they absolutely play into each. other and my guess would be that Bejon. goes first but again these things are. subject to change and I think both of. them when they sign their deals well. Bejian will probably become the highest.

paid when that deal gets done and then. Gibbs will probably want to be right. wherever Bejon is and let's see how it. evolves but both running backs who are. tremendous players and very important to. their teams they know their value and I. don't know that we're going to see them. on a practice field doing very much of. anything until those contracts get done. >> Okay. Jonathan Taylor. >> Uh that's a good one. You know, we have. not heard about him. >> He said he's going to do stuff. He said. the front office. He said he's going to.

do stuff. But uh also. >> that's why but to think that when those. deals when those deals get done and. those guys become the highest paid. running backs to think that Jonathan. Taylor is just going to sit by and. nothing's going to come up. I I I I. don't think that's going to be the case. and we'll see what happens. >> You're the best. That's senior NFL. insider Adam Sha. >> Bones got like the head space on you. guys that he's showcasing a whole wall. there. >> Yeah, please. So, this place is. beautiful. >> Make sure you Yeah, make sure you get a.

ton of room up here. >> It is absolutely beautiful. We are. white. >> I don't know how much the this set is. They told me a number. It was absurd. And it makes sense with how nice this. is. And obviously there's just one of. >> a thousand up here. >> Yeah. >> Lot of sites. >> There's not a lot of people up here. though, like on air talent. We realize. >> there's not a lot of on air talent up. here. >> Pulling teeth trying to get someone live. in person. >> But we did we did what we understand. >> Potential mayor.

>> Mhm. >> Queen of Defto. Emmy award winner and also program feud. champion. Don't love that. >> Don't love that. >> Bit of an asterisk on that one. >> Oh, that was a flat out win. >> They were cheating. >> No, >> they had much more time to give their. answer. >> Much more. >> Oh, that's what you guys are going with. >> Oh, yeah. >> You're saying that you guys didn't get. enough. under legit family feud rules. >> Thank you. >> They're getting next multiple times and. we're stealing and we, you know, it just.

But hey, >> you guys didn't steal. I I don't think. you had a I I think you guys missed a. couple steals, didn't you? Missed two. steals. You guys almost got three X's on. Steel. >> Who do we survey? >> Yeah. What's that? >> It said Leo Messi. He wasn't on the. board. >> Leo Messi was number two or number. three. >> He's number three. He should have been. >> It was LeBron. Nick should have won that. and had it. >> Anyways, people don't know what we're. talking about right now. >> Oh, they should watch a program. >> That's your problem. >> Program Fudge. It was pretty good little. time. NFL Live took on the Thunderdogs. in the Thunderdome.

>> We will ride again. You guys were worried about the barking. way too much and not worried about the. actual game. >> That might be true. >> cuz you know their team was kind of. trying to rally some thoughts. beforehand. What could be. >> They had time. They had time to do it. [laughter]. >> Okay. I love I love that you guys go. Okay, let's go around some more stories, shall we? Around the NFL. Jerry Jones is. back on a microphone and we said it had. been a quiet offseason in Dallas. Well,

Jerry said, "Let me turn it up a little. bit." Hey, listen. On this road to LA, we're going to have to commit it all. And I'm willing to do as such. Here's. Jerry Jones speaking into a microphone. You're welcome. I think we've got a. chance to uh uh really be good. It's. going to be hard. Uh it's going to be. going to be nip and uh nick and nip and. tuck. As old Switcher used to say, we're. going to burn some of these wagons on. the way to California for firewood. We're going to lose some folks. We're. going to have some barn, but the wagon.

train is going to get there. So, uh, bottom line is, uh, I love, uh, the. excitement. Uh, you guys, for all. practical purposes, don't expect us to. be a contender in the Super Bowl. Y'all. don't. Why would you? [laughter] Uh, I. like that. >> I like that. >> I do. I like that. And, uh, I like what. we put together to, uh, show you that, uh, uh, we can do it. Listen, Oregon. Trail, there might be dysentery, okay?

There might be a river that needs to be. forged, okay? We're going to get there. We're going to get through it. And. listen, you might have to light it on. fire because it might get cold. You. know, we might lose a couple good ones. out there. Hell, I might trade their. asses right now. Here's Jerry Jones. talking about making his team better in. only the way that Jerry Jones could. >> Uh, one other thing I'd say that Stephen. was commenting on is candidly, I'd be. very interested. I'd give up future to. add substantive to where we are today as. to a player to give you an idea about.

would I invest uh something substantive. to get the right kind of deal to improve. us opening day. I would I feel that good. about this team this year and of course. you know that I haven't seen this team. play together and so uh but in general. looking ahead I think we've got a chance. to be worthy of spending some future if. we saw an opportunity. >> those kinds of conversations that are. ongoing or is that something hey let's.

look at the first two weeks of camp and. then address to see if you want to put. something. >> I talked to uh I talked to uh uh. yesterday I talked about a situation. yesterday with another team and another. owner. yesterday. >> Listen, you know when you're boozing and. you're saying, "I'm going to be hung. over tomorrow.". >> And you're borrowing the happiness from. tomorrow tonight. >> I'm willing to invest the future if we. have a time right now. Now, I haven't. seen these guys play. But if these guys. are worth a single [ __ ] I am willing to. make plays to potentially go get it all.

You got to remember though, I don't know. what these guys look like. [laughter]. >> I would love to know. I was trying to. find a honey hole for some natural gas. He was looking for what? a one trillion. trillion. It was a $1 trillion honey. hole he was looking for within the last. year. I'm sitting on right beneath our. feet, our boots right now. >> We just got to be able to get to it. I I. got to build a rig that can get three. miles down. >> He's found the crude oil. He's looking. for the natural. >> I need the honey hole. Okay. I haven't. seen the Cowboys do one snap mini camp.

I've been trying to negotiate that [ __ ]. out. We We won't give it up. I need to. get eyes on these guys. If they're worth. a damn, I will make a play for that. And. then everybody immediately goes, "Well, who was he talking to yesterday?" And. then you hear Dan Olovvesky on our show. yesterday. Dan says, "If Max Crosby. finished the season with the Raider, well, what what all of a sudden. yesterday?". >> Yeah. >> It as people that have to talk about. sports every single day and we talk. about the NFL every single day and we. talk about every single story every. single day and they evolve and they. change certainly. I had no inclination. that Max Crosby was not a Raider for. life. He actually just made a song.

called Raider Wave. It's like an. absolute banger. He talked about how the. football gods blessed him and you know. the universe talked to him and like. staying and being a one helmet guy. And. then yesterday there was like multiple. people not the Raiders and not Jerry. Jones but people that are like Max. Crosby may be getting traded still. It's. like what? I didn't know that was a P. Did we know that was a possibility still. at this point? >> I did not know that. Maybe Dan O could. have just been yapping. You know he he's. not an insider but he has some info so. maybe he was sprinkling something there. I didn't expect that but then Jerry. Jones coming out saying that as well.

that would be the the number one. position. A pass rusher I would think he. would go out and trade for. Maybe even a. corner. Things obviously didn't work out. with Trayvon Diggs who they gave big. money to. Dron Blank got his money. He's. been kind of up and down, banged up. So, I would think quarterback. I would think. pass rusher. Some of those premium. positions. Uh you went out and signed. Christian Parker who was their youngest. defensive coordinator and I believe. franchise history. So, they expect a lot. of juice and energy from him. Caleb DS. who they got who fell to him. Uh so, it's some a lot of excitement for. Dallas, which it always is. cuz you got.

the highest paid quarterback in Dak. weapons on the outside. I mean, the. arrow is definitely up on Dallas, but. you know how it always is. We got to see. it to believe it. >> But notice what you said. Everything. about the the Raiders and and and Max is. those were all Max's words. That's a. organization that's a front office that. already traded them. Like they're not a. they're not afraid to trade Max. They've. they've seen an they've seen the light. without Max and they've taken that. already. So that I mean there's. definitely a chance that they are. willing to do that again if they get the. right price. That's a crazy thing to.

think about just because how this has. all worked out and how Max has like used. it as motivation and as a positive and. like doubled tripled down on being a. Raider and then all of a sudden just. within 24 hours I'm thinking to myself. they're going to break this guy's heart. twice. [laughter]. >> No way. And then Raiders fans, I guess. this is the best roster they've had, which is why we're so excited for Max. Crosby to not be wanted in Baltimore. basically is what happened. They they. traded remorse injury, didn't pass. physical. Okay, we alleged, you know, all this stuff. It is what it is. We've.

all experienced it live in real time. And we were so pumped for Max to go back. to the most talented Raiders team we've. seen. And the fact that he's on the most. talented team and they just got their. best player back. It's like, wow, the. Raiders actually going to go on a run. I. it would make it wouldn't make a lot of. sense, especially with how they've. already had to figure out the salary. cap, how they've already had to figure. everything out for the foreseeable. future allegedly, why you'd want to move. on. But it sounds like people think it's. possible. And I guess if you already. know what it'll take to get Max, which. the Raiders kind of showed it, maybe. they'll try to do it again. But I like. this Raiders team and we we obviously.

are big fans of Fernando Mendoza. We uh. on the record have been big fans of. Fernando. We've seen Fernando boots on. the ground throughout the playoff run. We watched him develop a cal as well. Actually, boots on the ground out there. I mean, we we know old Nando. Feels like. we know him out there Miami. >> He's so He's so big. He spins the ball. so well. seemingly a super genius as. well. Tough, loves ball. Obviously, his. family story with how he operates, how. he is as a leader, has beers with the. boys. Yeah. Okay. Everything about him.

we think screams Sunday guy. We were. wondering how it was going to work with. Kirk Cousins. What a perfect mentor. potentially for Fernando. Or is Fernando. going to get dropped in the deep end. immediately and kind of let him figure. it out? Oh, Coach Kubak talked yesterday. and this what he had to say. >> Veteran quarterback, but do you c do you. categorize that as a competition? is. Kirk is the starter with you know the. other guys trying to catch him like I. guess how you categorize that. >> yeah um. you know for every position is there's. got to be competition right the best.

player has has to play and that's not. just what I'm going to see you guys are. going to see in the preseason games you. know we as coaches um we're going to see. who the best guard is okay best. quarterback um across the board there's. there's battles everywhere on the roster. so um And it's important for me to be. fair to the players is to put the best. player out there. When we go out to. practice tomorrow, Kirk Cousins is the. starting quarterback. He's the guy and. uh he's going to get a ton of reps and. he deserves it because he's played.

really good football, but I want. Fernando and I want Aiden to push him. >> Best player is going to play. >> Sure. Yeah. >> Kirk is our starter. He has played. football before in the NFL for a long. time. He has earned the right to be the. number one guy, but he would like. Fernando to push him. [music]. Go. >> Yeah. [laughter] Actually, little bit of. a boss. Little bit of Was that a Max. Crosby song? >> Oh, man. If they did put a Max Crosby. song on a social media post about being. the Raider way, and then traded him the. next day.

>> That would be that would be a disconnect. between admin and a football team, which. is seemingly happening across the NFL in. real time, right in front of our faces. all all over social media. But he's. saying best player is going to play. Like, it's Kirk's job to lose basically. And uh I think that's good for Fernando. I think it takes the pressure off him. But I don't think he said anything in. there that tells me that Fernando is not. going to be starting early in the season. there. You hear you heard something. differently there, Tom. >> Well, he he he didn't really say it, but. if you read in between the lines, he. also said the smartest guy is going to. play. And if you're listening to what. Dan Orloski said yesterday, [laughter].

>> Fernando, yeah, he doesn't have a chance. in that aspect. He's not going to be. able to remember the complexities of his. offense, the 15-word play calls. He has. absolutely no ch, you know, no shot in. that respect. So, I think that Kubak is. also kind of getting into that point. Hey, listen. This guy needs to be able. to spit out the play calls in the. huddle. I know Kirk can do that. We've. seen him, you know, miked up on. quarterback. We haven't It sounds like. Fernando was kind of just saying, "Hey, run right, run left." [laughter] He was. doing that or didn't say. >> So, I don't know. Someone had to drive. Fernando to IU practice every day.

because he kept getting lost is what. direction. >> Yeah, what do. >> I mean just just thinking about where. he's gone to school. Okay. Let alone the. IU business school, which is a very good. school or whatever. Cal Berkeley. to Yale as well. >> It's like, well, that doesn't mean he's. got football brains. [laughter]. It doesn't mean It's like I Yeah. Okay. I guess it does mean that. Have we seen. him have football brains though? Has he. dissected a cover two and wanted the. right choice even though it's a super? We have seen that. Do we think that he. can have flashc cards and maybe remember.

what things are? >> I'm guessing. >> Yeah, I think so. >> I'm thinking he's going to be able to do. it. Now, watching Kirk, I think he's. great, too. Makes sense. That's Fernando. also getting a chance to literally watch. and learn in real time. I think it's a. win-winwin for them across the board, but I do believe we see Fernando a lot. earlier than a lot of people are. projecting strictly because he's going. to be the perfect pro because he is. almost a robot some people call. >> Absolutely. I like what Kubiaak was. saying there. Uh I feel like he had a a. clear message. Obviously, he was ready. for the questions which you're going to.

be getting week in and week out when you. have a number one overall pick. I think. it was a good message and I think it'll. be great for Fernando to watch a true. pro who who's done it in different. offenses and it will be obviously it's. always a difference jumping from college. to the pro style. He'll probably play. more in the center more play action. So. just hearing it just watching it getting. those mental reps and we know inevitably. when his opportunity comes we all think. you know he's going to ace the test. because he has all the the the talent. he's gifted he's the size the arm all. the different things. So now it's just.

about between the ears you know can he. figure it out down in the down out. I. think watching Kirk day in and day out. throughout training camp and then maybe. even the first quarter of the season. We. when we played it was always like we. broke it up in quarters. Okay. Four. games in, eight games in and now we'll. figure it out. So, we'll see. I expect. them to be in there pretty soon though. >> Yeah. Number one pick. You're going to. want to see that. Now, you want to talk. about Young Prodigies. >> Mhm. >> Okay. And this person's going to have to. hear us say this. >> So, >> I think he's going fishing anyways. if he's not on uh the course. This man.

that's about to join us is the only. golfer in history to be the number one. in uh amateur in the world and then win. in his first five professional starts. So projected to be guy get into the big. leagues actually turn out and have a big. time win. This dude was chased by Scotty. Sheffer all weekend in Minnesota in the. 3M Open. This dude didn't blink. Now the. entire golf world is telling us all that. we don't know ball because of who this. guy has been and what people have been. projecting of him and they've been just. flooding our algos with this guy's golf.

swing with this guy's accomplished from. the past with what he's able to do and. how he operates in big-time moments. Ladies and gentlemen, there might be a. new one out here and we are incredibly. lucky that we are live in the sports. world as this gentleman is seemingly. about to take off on a golf course near. you. Ladies and gentlemen, War Eagle. 3M Open Champion, Jackson Ko. >> Yeah. >> How are you, buddy? >> How you doing? >> Hey, you're War Eagle, right? In my uh. in my act. Oh, yeah.

>> Okay. >> Hey, they're they should put a. >> They should be put a statue up of you, right? I don't think there's a lot of I. mean, this is this is big deal for this. is Yeah, you and Cam. I mean, this is. big big deal for Auburn. I appreciate. you representing out there. Uh Jackson, we would like to let you know we. apologize for not knowing enough about. you. Can we talk a little bit about your. amateur run? Has this been since you The. way golf people are talking to me like. I'm an idiot. This guy since he came out. of the womb literally has been making. putts, you know, you just don't know. that. You have had I feel like the.

entire golf world saying you're the next. one, you're the next one. In golf, that. feels like a lot of pressure. How has it. been? And then obviously getting into. the PGA, has it just kind of Have you. been preparing for this all your life as. everybody's been talking about the big. stage you're going to go to? Yeah, I mean definitely some pressure. coming out. Turned pro about a month. ago. Uh didn't have the best debut, but. uh just dealt with it some external. pressure and um just kind of worked. through it, got a little more. comfortable out there and uh was able to.

get it done uh on Sunday. >> Yeah. Tell me about your golf life. You've been playing since you're one, two, like seriously, how do we get into. this? because I'm seeing slow motion. shots of your swing and I guess I don't. know how a human body does that but. that's what a lot of people are saying. about your swing. You've been very good. golfer since beginning. How long what. should we know about you maybe as you're. getting introduced to the world in real. time right now? >> Yeah, I've been playing golf basically. since I can walk. Uh grew up playing. pretty much every sport and then uh kind.

of just since high school really focused. on golf and kind of took off from there. Whenever you have somebody like Scotty. on a leaderboard um behind you, is that. a moment you've been obviously thinking. about forever? I as kicker on field all. by myself would say before a kick, "All. right, if I make this, somebody's going. to give me a million dollars for you.". It's like, all right. Um, on a Sunday in. the PGA, Scotty Sheoffller's on the. leaderboard behind me, and I'm like, have you mentally done this before, or.

in real time, is that you wondering. about how you're going to respond to the. number one golfer in the world kind of. hunting you in Minnesota? >> Yeah, I mean, the the crowds definitely. let me know that Scotty was coming. I. felt like on on every hole I made a par, they would just be like, "Scotty's too. back." Someone would just yell. [laughter] at me. Um. >> uh. >> I uh I just kind of try to keep my head. down, play against the golf course and. uh say I'll come out on top. >> Yeah, there was I forget the golfer who. said he was in contention at 16. You. make a putt and he said he left. He was.

like uh he's I was on I was in a plane. by the time he ended cuz they had. complete faith in you kind of dialing in. and locking in. What are you thinking. about as you're out there? You said. you're just thinking about your swing. and beating the golf course. Is there. swing thoughts? Is it just kind of a. free flow? Like how do you kind of. describe yourself on a course? Yeah, I mean I just try to see what shot. I'm trying to hit and then I'll be 100%. committed to that because uh at the end. of the day like we practice and we grind. so much that um if I I feel like if I. can commit to what shot I'm going to hit.

that's the only thing I can do and and. it was all kind of clicked uh on. Saturday and Sunday. >> Yeah. Well, Scotty's caddy uh I think. that was like yep, this kid's closing. this thing. He let's go ahead and get. out of here. And that's an unbelievable. compliment. And I I was so pumped to see. the entire golf world celebrate you. I I. don't know if you got a chance to really. take that in. That doesn't happen often. in sports as a whole. The golf community. and the golf world very proud of you and. for good reason. We can't wait to watch. Tone has a question for you, Jackson. >> Yeah, Jackson. Obviously, you've dealt.

with expectations for a long time being. the number one amateur, but after after. winning last week in the 3M, now with. the Rocket, you are I don't know if you. you definitely probably don't know this, but you're top seven in odds to win this. week. Is there a different Is there. different expectations? Is there is. there different stress that you're. dealing with now that maybe people. expect you to do this? >> Um, maybe a little bit. It's. again like winning on Sunday was great. and just trying to build off that. experience and confidence, but just.

trying to mentally accept that this is a. new week. I need to get ready and. prepare and um just go play some golf. >> What are you uh So, what are we doing? We sleeping in a trailer. We got a bus. that we're traveling around in. How. how's it like? Cuz I saw you how much. money you made. And I don't know what. NIO in college is like, but we saw how. much money you made your first Z 90 and. this guy's a millionaire now. So, uh, congratulations on the quick turnaround, the quick run as a young lad. You've. earned it. You've certainly earned it. But what has it been like uh living life.

as a professional here over the last few. weeks? What have you realized maybe. about the tour that you you couldn't. have known as an amateur? Yeah, I mean last summer I was fortunate. enough to play in maybe four tour. events, so I got a little taste of it, but it's a lot of time on the road. spending nights in hotels. Um my parents. will travel, kind of split it every. other week. So, um it's just finding. stuff to do off the golf course is kind. of tough for me because I uh I just love.

playing golf and um when I'm sitting. alone in the hotel room, just what am I. going to do? >> Yeah. I like you're not not a video. gamer, you know, you young lad, not a. big uh you so you're just chipping bowls. in your hotel room as you're trying to. pass time over there. Is that you're. just completely addicted to the sport. Has this always been how since day one? Like I got a I got a three-year-old. daughter, McKenzie, and you know, I've. been trying to force a club into her. hand. Okay, I've been trying to force. it. Let's do this. >> Do you know or do your parents have they.

told you like first hit you were. addicted to doing it and you were very. good? Do we know when you became. completely obsessed? You said high. school you got into it, but this is like. uh we've learned of Tiger's obsession. and the work that it takes, the amount. of putts, the amount of chips, the. amount of hits, the amount of da da da. da da. Is that all dialed in for you or. is that an everyday type thing? Like how. often are you working on your craft at. this young age? >> Pretty much every day. It's uh you know. when when you get to do something as. your job that you love, it's just it's.

great. And um it's it's an everyday. thing for me cuz you know people tell me. to take days off and give my body a rest. and I try my best but um I just don't. want to fall behind. It's it's it's. weird but I just I just love playing it. and Yeah. >> Yeah. You're a sick of it dude. Yeah. That that's good news. That's good news. Yeah. It's good news for us at least, you know, because if you've looked at. the top of anything in life, but. certainly in the sports world, all. psychos commit. I I mean that is just.

the reality of the business especially. with how competitive it is. So if you. take a day off and you're scared to. death that somebody else isn't doing it. feels like that's a good work uh ethic. and that's going to get you. >> a lot of Sundays of us getting to watch. the young gun here do his thing which we. are thankful for. Go ahead Debb. >> Yeah Jackson you talked about handling. uh the external pressure. How how did. you handle the internal pressure I guess. especially down the stretch? You told me. about obviously we saw the hot Saturday. and you finished strong on Sunday but. how do you handle that? you a positive. selft talker after shots are you a [ __ ].

talker to yourself like how do you. handle that shot to shot and then down. the stretch? >> Yeah, I mean for the most part you know. I worked on my with my swing coach just. like when you get in the heat of moment. everything just seems to go faster and. faster. So, I just try to take slow. everything down, breathing, walking, and. then, you know, I'm not afraid to give. myself some stuff if I hit a bad. [laughter] shot. But, uh, I try to flip. it on myself and it if I hit a bad shot, it's a good opportunity to hit a great.

shot on the next one. >> Okay, Foxy, could you go back to this. shot again? Okay, just so I have it. clear, we're trying to slow it down. here. Just so everybody can understand, we're trying to slow it down here. We're. just trying to Go ahead, Foxy. We're. just trying to Yeah, just trying to slow. that one down. >> 305 off the deck. Absolutely. pipe it in most pressure ever. potentially. Let me see if I can go off. the deck. 300 plus. It's like Yeah, I. think you got it. But I do like you're. trying to slow it down, dude. [laughter]. Yeah, I like that you're trying to slow. it down. Yeah, that do CocaCola. Nelly.

Corda told us that her swings uh swing. thoughts CocaCola. to kind of keep her in rhythm. Do you. have swing thoughts or No. Uh, yeah. I I like to think of like just. like a ticking clock when I putt. Like. just tick talk, but I My golf swing's. always been a little quick. >> My golf swing's always been a little. quick, so I'm not too worried about. tempo on that. [laughter]. >> Jackson, you're the man. >> Swing your swing, baby. >> Yeah. And you have uh three words.

written on your glove. Confidence, trust, and dominate. I like that you. have that last one in there. Okay. Cuz a. lot of the feel-good super hippie people. Okay. Let's have confidence, let's. trust, let's have fun. Okay, that's. awesome. Let's do all that. And if we do. all those, maybe we'll have a chance to. win. Like that is how some people frame. it. I like that you have confidence, trust, and then also we've worked hard. enough now. Let's absolutely dominate. this thing. I like the cut of your jib, brother. I I am a big big Jackson Quaven. fan. Uh Tone has a question for you, Jackson. >> Yeah, I do. So, when you're going this.

week, like is there now that you've. established yourself as a winner, um how. have the pros come up to you this week, has there been a lot of congratulations? You know, I believe you are 21. I don't. know if you have allowed to have any. pops with uh any of the guys currently. on tour, but what's that been like? >> Yeah, I mean it's been it's been a warm. welcome. Everyone's been saying. congratulations and um yeah, it's it's. it's pretty cool. U guys I haven't. really even talked to. They're they're. nice enough to come say congrats and it. was cool to watch. So it's uh definitely.

making me feel welcome. >> There's a lot of stats saying your. generation doesn't drink any alcohol, right? And there's like it is coming. back. I've read. >> what with his generation. So maybe the. generation above him said we're not. doing it and then his generation said. let me. >> this isn't right. >> now. We don't we don't need you to go on. any speech one way or the other. But you. are 21 years old. Did you enjoy the how. did you go about did the lads how did we. how do I I saw you fishing on the. course. Hilarious. I love everything.

I've. been fishing with some southern folks. before. There are some ice cold I mean. ice cold beers coming alongside of that. How did you enjoy your first win other. than uh just fishing? Obviously, you. caught something massive there. We. assume you are just ripping lips all. over the place. But did you enjoy the. win? How did you enjoy the win? And.

let's do it again next week and then the. week after that. We can't wait to get. invited sometime to the fishing on the. golf course scene. Yeah, I mean I I I enjoyed myself a. little bit after the round and then went. and pitched for a little bit and it. stayed light out there pretty long, but. uh we definitely had some fun and then. had an early flight on Monday. So kept. it pretty tame and um headed to Detroit. >> Yeah, dude. It's uh it's something. you'll remember for the rest of your. life. So, I do hope that the after and. the family and friends all is something.

I'm. sick of it. >> Hopefully. >> He might have a chance sooner. He might. be on the President's Cup. >> President's Cup. I'm sick of it. We need. it. Cuz uh Fox from New Zealand, okay, he's coming in like uh we're trying to. win the whole day. It's like, yeah, can't have it. Okay. We need America to. be winning these. We just saw the World. Cup. We had no chance. We found out we.

I think I have a. little bit more to prove before I get. the before I catch the eye of Grant. Senker, but um definitely a goal of. mine. >> No, no, no. You guys, >> you're having you're having ice cold. beers and fishing on a golf course. We. would like you representing in in. competing against Scotty on Sunday. Mhm. >> And we would like you representing the. United States of America if we are out. there compete. Just know that that's.

And uh. >> hey, how's football team going to do? Okay, we we back. What do we think? >> We'll see. We got a new coach. Uh, I've. heard good things about him, but um I'm. I'm excited to watch. I've been to a. couple games in these past three years. that have been fun to enjoy, but um.

we'll see. Yeah, I'm excited. >> Can you kick Can you kick anything? >> I've made about a 30 yarder once. >> Okay. So, if game day happens down uh in. Auburn, you will you come kick one to. maybe double some money for uh charity. or something? >> Yeah, I can. I might need a couple. practice kicks. >> No practice kicks. No, no practice. kicks. None at all. Jackson cold. You're. going in there and I'd like to get a. couple ice cold pops beforehand as well. Maybe have you a little booed up. You're. the man. Ladies and gentlemen, Jackson.

Ko. >> Yeah, Jackson. >> 21 years old. Yeah. Scotty Sheffller, >> you've been talked about it since you. were a kid. Is supposed to be the next. one. This is the one actually behind. you. What a moment for him mentally. >> It's a [ __ ] you dream about. Yes. Like. literally, oh yeah, I'm leading and I. got Scotty chasing me or vice versa. Sunday and you get it to go out there. and get it done the way that he did. bogey free on Sunday. Like guy playing. like he's 40 years old. >> The golf people are saying like, "Hey.". Yeah. >> Yeah. That he's like all the the data. golf places have him ranked very very.

high as an amateur over the last like 10. years. >> All the people that are saying shrink. the game, you know, the super golf. purist people, they're like this is. >> Yeah. He's the guy. And he's also. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Any chance to go? >> He's in his bag. >> Live. >> No, they're dead. >> Come on. >> Rest in peace to live. Uh, >> that cancelled the team championship. [music]. >> What? I didn't know that was Yeah, >> we're back on the other side. Be a. friend. Tell friends something nice. >> But it is great to be down here in.

Tatown, Alabama. Now, let's do a little. history here, shall we? This is uh. what's your name? Gabby. >> Gabby, you're a senior here, right? >> That's correct. >> And what is your major? >> Chemical engineering. >> Okay. >> Okay. Uh, have you ever kicked anything. before? >> No. >> Okay. But you said you want to do it, not get somebody ELSE BECAUSE. >> BECAUSE I CAMPED out for so many hours. with my friend and I got lucky enough to.

get picked. So, let's go for it. >> Yes. >> Yes. >> ALL RIGHT. >> WE LOVE THAT. GO. $300,000 if you make. this kick right here, Gabby. Okay. >> Oh my gosh. >> That seems fair. >> I don't know what a chemical engineering. degree costs, but hopefully that'll help. towards it all. >> My parents are above that. >> Okay. >> I'll throw in 200 as well. >> HE'S THROWING IT TO $500,000. >> ALL RIGHT, GABBY. >> OKAY, >> GOOD LUCK. We're pulling FOR YOU. 33.

YARDS. All you got to do is make the. kick. Good luck, Gabby. >> Okay. >> Any final thoughts? I love you mom and. dad AND BROTHER. [laughter]. >> Love that mom and dad. Hope you have a. good time. Ladies and gentlemen, Gabby. Matthysse, chemical engineer, senior. here at Alabama WILL ATTEMPT TO WIN. 500,000. It's come to this, huh? It's come to. this. >> It's come to this. >> Yeah, this Why just smack me in the.

face? Kurt just smacked me in the face. How about this? How about this, Gabby? If Kirk Herbstreet can throw that. football through those uprights right. there, we'll give you $300,000. [cheering]. >> Are you okay with that? >> 300,000. If Kirk Kre can throw it. THROUGH THOSE UPRIGHTS, FORMER OHIO. STATE QUARTERBACK, >> NO WARM UP. Full suit for Deb. [screaming].

your brother, the whole family. Congratulations. And Kirk, [cheering]. >> good on you, man. It was close. Back to. you. Jeez. Gabby, >> I want a moment. You know, I love the. fact that Gabby [music] wanted the. experience. You know, blue-eyed Buckeye still got a. little sing in that arm of his. 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 the fact that you.

listen, we are very, very thankful for. the [cheering] line with a gorgeous. assist. [music]. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers, you. stop. Damn it. Your friend, tell a. friend something nice could change their. life. sport. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to Bone Cam here on the ESPN [music]. campus in beautiful Bristol, Connecticut. Our tour of this program.

begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE GREATEST. ALL NFL teams. are in their training camp. Stories are. starting to develop. Tweaked muscles are. happening around the league. Contract. disputes are taking place. And the road. to the Lombardi is happening for all 32. organizations and franchises. We have. people talking for the first time in. months. Jerry Jones got done with his. hunt for a honey hole and talked about. how he's open to maybe trading the. future for today. He's got to get eyes. on the Cowboys first before he gets.

active. Is he trading for Max Crosby? Max Crosby is still getting traded. I. thought he was a Raider for life. These. are all the things that are happening in. the first 24 hours of training camp. Can't wait to see what continues to. unfold. We're up here in beautiful. Bristol, Connecticut at the ESPN campus, and I'll say job well done to whoever. built all these. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. Very nice. >> I think it was a lot of people, but this. is incredibly well done. Uh space is. obviously beautiful. As Debbone is. operating the camera, and I'm sure. whenever the folks built this particular. studio, they thought to themselves,

North Central University, >> yeah, >> national champion. Debbone's going to be. operating a jib cam in here. You've done. a great job, Bone. Got the best Hardy. look, too. Yeah, I like what you're. pulling off. Uh AP Tone is here. Ty. Schmidt is here. Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler is here. Debbutch, the. NFL training camp's obviously cooking. right now. Denzel Ward gets paid so much. money. We asked Chef about it obviously. for other people getting their money and. what that means and what that signifies. What does it mean to you that the. Cleveland Browns are spending that.

amount of money on Denzel Ward? They. move on from Miles Garrett. They get. verse back. They pay Denzel Ward. They. have a quarterback competition. happening. We've seen both QBs that we. assume are going to be in the starting. role at some point this season. Deshaawn. Watson complete some passes. Shador's. completing some passes. Shador's being. asked out and about where he's from. He. said I'm from Cleveland. Are the Browns. up and up right now with Monkin at the. helm and Andrew Barry getting a second. crack at this entire thing after the. original Deshun Watson contract fiasco. >> Uh you know what the best thing about.

training camp probably? Yeah. The thing. at the very top is you can talk about. all 32 teams as if they have a potential. being good and actually making a run, being better, improving and that's what. the message is in the building and that. is what we hope for and this is what we. also love to see from teams and. organizations is taking care of their. great players and Denzel Ward has been a. great player for them from since. stepping into the building on and off. the field. So I like them taking care of. him. Maybe he's a one helmet guy when. it's all said and done with a deal like. this. Two years and we always look at. the guarantees. The number, you know, on.

average 31.1 to make him the highest. paid, but it's got over $50 million. guaranteed. So, I love that. And I'm. sure the young guys behind them love. that, too, cuz whenever you're up, it's. your job to reset that market so that. next man goes up and gets it. Once. again, been a great player. You got some. great young pieces. Mason Graham who. they drafted up at the top of the draft. Uh Carson Fles [clears throat] who won. the defensive rookie of the year. He's. dominant as well. Obviously, you lose. Miles Garrett, but you bring in Jared. Verse. So, yes, it is on the up and up.

You got to figure out who your. quarterback is. We know no team has a. chance, doesn't have a chance without a. quarterback. You got a new head coach. So, we'll see. But you got weapons, you. got talent. >> We got some breaking news out of. Cincinnati Bengals training camp. >> Okay. >> Jamar Chase with a helmet throw. >> Oh, really? >> There has been our first fight. Jaylen. Davis, number 35. And Jamar Chase had. been jawing before this. Uh Jamar Chase. ends up with a helmet, tosses that. thing. Okay. says get out of here. Jamar. Chase obviously utilizes his hands them. being in the middle of a bunch of. helmets. Not necessarily great, but I do. like the fact that Uno there says I'm.

about to b and this is the first day of. really getting after they and Jamar. Chase already throwing helmets and. fighting people. Cincinnati Bengals got. a little bit of an edge. They move on. from Trey Hendrickson. He looks very. interesting in a Baltimore Ravens. uniform. We will have to get used to. that. Obviously, they bring in sexy. Dexi. The offense we know is going to be. good, especially if Joe Burrow is able. to stay healthy. And on day one, these. boys are brawling. Are you a little bit. nervous in the AFC North that maybe the. kitchen's getting a little bit hot in. Big Daddy Cincinnati? >> Listen, we know about the Bengals. They're going to score a ton of points.

as long as they can keep Joe upright and. and they've added on the O line. So, I. think they will. >> Oh, a fake there. Hold on. I just saw a. little bit more of the video. Go back. just a couple seconds there. Jamar Chase. gives him a faint one of Can we uh go. back a couple seconds there? Oh, too. far. I think I don't know where we were. Deamar Chase is walking back away. >> I like that they're doing that. I'm. sorry that just caught the corner of my. eye. They're fighting early. I like the. edge. Don't love that Jamar Chase's. hands are in the middle of a bunch of. helmets this early in it all. But I do.

appreciate the fact that our first fight. is from Cincinnati. That kind of feels. like throwback Cincinnati to me. >> Yeah, it does. And maybe this is a good. sign for the defense. Like maybe they're. like, "Hey, we we are tired of this. [ __ ] We've been getting destroyed uh. the last few years." Now, they they did. get horrendous news it seems like today. Not it's not official yet. Shamar. Stewart had to be carded off today. I. guess the injury did not look good. He. was their first round pick last year who. uh you know took a while to sign his. contract. So, when you lose Trey and if. if something did happen to Shamar uh. today and you need your defense to get. better. Hopefully, nothing bad uh with.

Shamar. Hopefully, he is fine. Uh but. it's all about the defense in Cincinnati. and we know that. >> it's actually we think it's going to. help. The video of this particular. injury is disgusting. >> Okay. So we are not going to. >> it's not good. >> It's the worst part worst part about. training camp in football in general. >> Yeah. The knee just the the the way it. bends you know kind of a hyper extension. situation and Samar Stewart's entire. career has been interesting since just. from literally day was negative five. >> Everybody's going to go back to. potentially.

>> Yeah. >> Craziness. Everything is craziness. We're so thankful the NFL is back. Obviously the Kyle Shanahan story is. absurd. Uh we hope he's okay and uh. excited that he's still alive. Yeah, you. know, even though he made a mistake. Happy also other side is still alive as. we get this new information. I also. appreciate the fact that he felt. obligated to let the world know. And I. think a lot of people are saying, "Hey, very nice of you to come out publicly. and say people are blaming the wrong. this is 100% on me." And uh in the state. that he's in right now, >> broken rib, 40 stitches on his face,

concussed, the whole thing. I feel like. he's seeing the world a little bit. differently. Probably a little bit. different perspective. And uh I wonder. what that means honestly for the Niners. going forward cuz this could be bunker. mentality type thing rally around head. coach who's still alive when he could. have very easily not been here from his. own doing. >> Yeah, for sure. And like you said, good. on him for clearing that up right away. because, you know, there probably a lot. of people who would have let that thing. just kind of get away and be like, "Yeah, it was her fault, whatever." But. I think you're right. I mean, I think it. there was an athletic poll that came out. today and it it uh it it pulled a bunch. of Dcoordinators and like defensive.

personnel in the NFL and he's ranked as. the number one play caller in the NFL by. his peers. So, uh I think we will see. maybe a more motivated or just a clearer. thinking Kyle Shanahan whenever he comes. out of the, you know, I guess it wasn't. a concussion, but the haze of what he's. going on with. I think he'll be focused, ready to go. And this is a big season. for the Niners, too, cuz I feel like the. last several years really since they. made it to the Super Bowl, we're always. talking about them at the start of the. year and then they just get snake bit by. the injury bug and they're kind of out. of the discussion by the start of. December. So, we'll see.

>> Let's stay in the NFC West. Obviously, big story line is the Los Angeles Rams. They got the most prime time games in. the entire NFL. >> Hey, Los Angeles City of Stars, their. stars are going to be on prime time. starting. >> in Australia. >> Yeah, >> that's a long way. They're kicking off. the NFL season. We appreciate them doing. that. Obviously looking to run it back. Coach McVey with sweet sunglasses on was. asked about Aaron Donald. >> You had any recent conversations with. him? >> You know, I knew you'd be the one that. [laughter] scary. Uh I have had. conversations with him.

>> And what [laughter] that's it? >> No, there's there's no Here's what I'll. tell you. You know, we have uh we've. kept in contact. He's feeling good. His. training is going really well, but no u. no new news on the front of like any. imminent decision on whether he's going. to play or not. And is he using the Rams. facility for some of that training or is. he doing that solely on. >> He's got he's got places that he can. train at. >> Is is the Rams facility one of. >> I'm not sure. >> You're not sure if he's. >> I'm out I'm not I'm not sure. I mean.

he's he's out here with us. There's. nobody at the Rams facility right now. So maybe TMZ knows the answer to that. [laughter]. >> Last one. >> Sean McVey great maestro of not. answering the question while saying. Yeah. Yeah. Mhm. I know everything about it. Yeah, I'm very excited. Obviously, he's. got a lot of places he wants to work. out. We're not at the Rams facility, so. I mean, you're not getting any. information out of me. I assume he would. like Aaron Donald to be able to make his. own decision on his own time, but I. think Shawn McVey is certainly excited. about the possibilities of Aaron Donald.

going back now. I see with the Magic. Eightball over there, >> is Aaron Donald going to play for the. Rams. >> this season here. >> We got no answer. >> What do you mean? >> It's hazy. >> That's kind of what McVey said. >> It's hazy. Is it a real magic eightball? >> Let's see. I mean, it looks like it's. one. >> Have you ever seen an answer? Have you. ever seen an answer? Have we Do we know. if it'll give an answer? Like, have. >> it's supposed to, right? >> Yeah. But outlook good. >> I'll show you. I mean, >> okay. >> This thing is not It's a bit of a. defective eight-ball cuz it rolls right.

back right away. >> Well, nobody can believe. Yes, definitely. It's. >> that one said ask again later. There's a. lot of levels kind of what McVey is. saying as well. >> Okay, so let's wait. Ask it now. Okay, this is later. You should give it a good shake. >> As I see it. Yes. >> That's two, right? Yeah, that's two. Yeah. >> And as I see it. And then McVey being. very koi there. >> He's being very koi. >> with a bit of a smile. >> Yeah. And then he was trying to dance. around it. Anytime you're trying to. dance around something, it feels like. you probably know what's going on there.

>> He's got to be elated that he's got a. team of absolute icons across the board. on the offense and the defensive side. But, you know, the expectations of us do. not mean anything to Shawn McVey. Even. though if they were to sign Aaron Donald. >> to go there next to Miles Garrett and. maybe they make a play for Vea and they. got McDuffy and Watson and then on the. offensive let alone linebackers then on. the offensive side they got the reigning. MVP with a guru wizard offensive. coordinator Puka Aua chasing a bag.

>> right that's what he's doing this guy. has been best wide receiver in the NFL. some people would say and now he. actually has the most amount of. motivation he's ever had to have. especially with perspective being. shifted this past offseason it's Like. are the Rams going undefeated this year? It's hard not in the middle of July July. 29th. It's hard on Mike Fost's time. >> Yeah. >> It's hard not town hall. Sorry. It his. time. >> It is his time. >> It's hard not to be like the Rams are. never going to lose. And then the. Seattle Seahawks say,

>> "Wait a minute. >> What are we talking about here? This. isn't even a real thing. We We also have. dogs across the board." They do. >> So, I guess the Seahawks probably feel. the most disrespected by all the Los. Angeles Rams conversation, but it's hard. not to get really excited about the Los. Angeles Rams. >> I mean, they are just absolutely stacked. at every single position and they're a. play away from being in in the Super. Bowl last year against Seahawks in the. NFC Championship and they would have. been favorites in in the Super Bowl. So, yeah. I mean, it's it's not like we're. coming out here and we're saying stuff. that like doesn't make sense or people.

don't agree with because yes, the Rams. are the favorites. They probably should. be the favorites. They have Matthew. Stafford and the Seahawks, they they are. loaded on defense and they're load on. offense with JSN, but if you're going. Stafford and Sam Darnold, you're. probably gonna lean Stafford in this. league. Quarterback matters a ton. He. was the reigning MVP. So, yeah, I think. the Rams should be the favorites. Yes, the Seahawks are absolutely going to use. this. I assume the Niners are going to. use this. Cardinals, I don't know if I. don't know if they're going to use this. or not, though. Maybe they they might. use it a little bit. Maybe being the. largest odds to win a division I've ever. seen in my entire life.

>> Okay. I mean, plus a million to win the. NFC West for the Arizona Cardinals. Let's remember, they're building a. practice facility. They're trying to. build a new entire everything out there. And Jacob's spinning it. >> We're getting some clips out of camp. And I'll tell you what, Wilson's back to. going absolutely crazy just like he did. last year with Jacobe Brassette. And now. Jacob's dropping in a bucket yet again, proving that he's going to be their. starter. Here we go. Jacobe Bruce. SAY. HI. SAY HI. Not to be confused with way.

we saw in a body cam. Uh unbelievable. stuff out of Jacobe Brousette here. Are. we overlooking the Arizona [laughter]. Cardinals debut because they have the. longest odds? >> Tone just mentioned it. Maybe in the. history of professional football to win. their division. Is that because the Rams. are so good or because nobody has any. expectations for the Cardinals to do. absolutely anything and Jacobe. understands that. Just trying to make. the most of it. Yeah, the division is uh. absolutely stacked. And I mean, yeah, are we overlooking the Cardinals? Yes, as we should. But every building, you.

know, every building has the talent. Every every building has talented. coaches. It will be a completely new. offense with the floor over there. So, we shall see. And Tone said it earlier. like they have. >> very very good offense pieces. You got. McBride who is coming off his best. season probably in argument to be the. best tight end in National Football. League this year in the 99 club which I. take Madden ratings very very serious. Uh Michael Wilson who's coming off a. great year. Marvin Harrison Jr. that's. going to be the big question mark for.

them whenever you go up and draft a. difference maker which you expect at the. top of the draft. We talked about what. type of prospect he was. Does he pan. out? And the same thing with Jeremiah. Love, which rookie year, but we've seen. running backs come in and have a big. impact on their team pretty early on. So, offensively, they have the pieces. We know it starts in the trenches. Defensively, a ton of question marks and. like I said, that that division is. absolutely stacked. So, yeah, the odds, I mean, reflect that as well. >> There's bad clips coming out about Marf. There's bad,

>> you know, scenario. It feels like they are kind of trying to. build a little narrative. Let's see some. of these catches getting them posted. every time this guy Looks like he can't. catch a football. I haven't seen him. catch one ball yet. >> That's what I'm saying. Everybody's. trying to run him out of town. >> What are we doing? >> Guy gets some lights in his eyes. He's. in the desert. He drops one. They say, "Look at this guy. Can't catch." And. then we see another one. He's driving. running across. It's right in his hands. He drops it. Obviously something. happened. Sweating in his eye maybe. And. then all of a sudden people are so quick. to post it. I would like to see him hang. >> plenty of those. I see a. >> lot of that. I We assume we just haven't.

been able to see it. Hey admin, maybe. get an ad win over there for for Marv. Van Harrison, you know, as we go into. the Big 10 uh media days. Ladies and. gentlemen, joining us now, he's a man. who is 48 and8 record as the head coach. of the Oregon Ducks. SC Docks, absolute. legend, former national champ as a coach. at Georgia. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan. Lanny. >> Yeah, >> SC Ducks. >> Good. >> What's up, Pat? Thanks for having me, man. How many how many SCO ducks you.

dropping? A lot of SCO ducks. SCO Ducks. SC Ducks. Doing a lot of interviews. What is Big 10 media day for a head. coach? >> I've done enough, man. >> I need to drop some more. Let's get one. SC Ducks. >> There it is. I like that. I like what. you're doing right there. I think it's. like a SCO Ducks. Maybe one of those. Can you Do you have that? >> Ducks. >> All right, let's do it. Let's take our. shirt off. [laughter]. We're going to We're going to get Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> You ain't getting me today, brother. Getting me. >> Yeah. Big [clears throat] time media. day. Obviously, super serious stuff.

You're talking to everybody about your. team, your program, your uh future, your. season, you name it. What has been the. conversation? Dante Moore back, a lot of. studs. Kind of how have you been talking. about your team during Big Time Media. Days thus far? And what is kind of the. storyline of your team this year? Cuz we. all know you're going to be talented. We. all know you're going to be good, but. all anybody wants to ask is like, when. are they going to win a national. champion? When are they going to win a. national championship? How are your boys. dealing with that? And how are you. dealing with it all? >> You spotted it, man. That's that's. always the conversation, you know. Um I. think we'll approach it similar to how.

we have in the past. Let's go out there. and have the best team we can possibly. have. Uh I always love this part of of. the year because it means we're getting. close to playing football games and uh I. know our guys are excited for that. We're ready to start fall camp. I really. like this team. We we had a a really. talented team last year. Now we have. some experience coming back. Uh and I'm. excited to see that experience turn into. to some success on the field. >> Yeah, obviously Dante coming back is a. huge deal. Mel Kyper had him at one. point as the number one quarterback in. the draft over Fernando. Fernando ends. up being the number one overall pick.

Dante Moore comes back. You get another. Big 10 team starter to come in and back. him up. Obviously, the Wagons are in. full force up in Eugene, but it's not. just the quarterback that came back. Go. ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, coach, you had I your entire. defensive line come back and they all. could have been high draft picks. I. believe they were all all 10 or all Big. 10 last year, all four of them. Like, how how huge is that now? like you're. going to the eight teams on your. schedule aren't going to be able to. block you guys at all. How nice does. that make for you on the defensive side. of the ball and how did you get all four.

of those guys to come back? >> Yeah, I think you always talk about. strength and numbers and um we're all. talking about quarterback which is. important. You got to have a great one, but you know, I think the best teams win. football games and we got some great D. linemen coming back. I think all those. guys, every guy that made the decision. to come back saw an opportunity for. growth, an opportunity to improve and, you know, a recognition uh if if NIL has. provided anything, it's provided. recognition to realize you can't go back. and do college over again, and I got one. more year that I can do this. So, these. guys want to take advantage of it. >> Oregon is 38 and five in the last three.

seasons. >> Pretty good. >> Pretty good. Okay, that's that's a lot. of times lined up. All their losses have. come to teams that are either win the. natty or in the national championship. And boy, you get judged harshly for. that, Daniel. As you know, though, you're Oregon Ducks head coach. You're. expected to win it all. You guys have. been able to beat and win a lot of close. games, a lot of big games, but not the. biggest game. That's a crazy thing to be. weighing over your head. I like that a. lot of your guys came back and said, "Coach, we want to we want to do this. for everybody." It's fantastic. Ty has a. question for you, Dan. >> Yeah, coach, there's been a lot of talk,

you know, especially post SEC media days. about, hey, the SEC's got the toughest. schedule in the nation. And uh every. team in the SEC is in the top 20 of. strength and schedule. It's horseshit. We all know the Big 10 is king. You know. that just as well as about anybody. But. does it feel like with [snorts] three. consecutive national championships and. you know you guys and maybe four other. teams at the top of the Big 10. Does the. the league again this year feel like. it's as good or better than it's ever. been? >> Yeah, it's a strong league. It's a. strong league. There's unbelievable.

competition, great venues. You know, I. think proofs in the pudding and you look. at what the Big 10's done in postseason. play the last few years and not just the. national championship games. I'm talking. about bowl games and success. It's a. it's a really tough league and I think. there's uh some teams that have the. opportunity to peak in this league this. year. Some some really teams that maybe. you haven't talked about that are going. to be really good as well. So, uh it's. it doesn't make it easy, which makes. makes it even more fun. >> Yeah, Tai's obviously not biased at all. He has an Iowa across his chest and an. Iowa helmet there. Hey, how'd Iowa do in.

the bowl game? Who' they play against? >> Uh they played Vanderbilt who. >> Vandy had a pretty good SEC year. >> Yeah, a lot of say they should have made. the playoffs. >> And then how'd that game go? >> Uh score was closer than you know it. would indicate cuz they waxed him pretty. good and won you know cuz it means more. in the Big 10. >> Golly, the South is so mad about all. this. But it's just it is it has changed. the landscape and you know I mean you. coach in the South obviously the culture. in the South is awesome. Not that it. isn't in Eugene, not that it isn't in. the Big 10, but it's like the SEC the. culture everywhere. It is a religion. It.

is awesome. It is spectacular and. obviously have been very dominant for a. long time. But the tides seemingly have. turned quite a bit here and I think. that's good for ball as a whole. obviously but I think the South needs. one. >> Oh I mean the the South need needs and. on that note. >> they might leave because they can't win. one. >> Well that that was all overblown. Seni. >> I don't know. >> that that was all Sanki say they weren't. actually. Do you have any thoughts on. any of this or do you stay completely. out of all the uh kind of the big. conversations taking place around. college football? How much are you.

asked? You should be I mean your team's. like top five team. >> Yeah, the coaches want to change. >> Oregon's a huge deal. It feels like you. should at least have some sort of input. How how are the coaches either staying. involved in what the future of college. football is or staying out of it from. your perspective? I'll say that, you know, uh, Tony Patiti. does a great job of hearing our opinion. Um, you know, and certainly that we're a. piece of the conversation, but as we get. closer to the season, the more I try to. just focus on the Ducks and what we can. do. And, you know, I think the rest kind. of takes care of itself, but we we have. a great conference. We have college.

football, you know, a lot of people. argue that college football is uh, it's. it's crazy times, which it is, but I. would say the excitement for college. football has never been higher, and the. the amount of eyes uh, that pay. attention to college football is has. never been higher. So, there's something. that's going right with the game that. there's certain certainly some things we. can fix. Uh, but I'm getting to this. mode where I'm about to just focus on on. football and that's all I'm going to. focus on and hopefully the rest gets. worked out. >> Yeah. And hopefully it will get worked. out. It feels like they are doing late. night calls to kind of get it figured. out because we all love not only what it.

is, but where it's headed and you talk. about the eyeballs, everything up and to. the right big for college football. You. name it, sports in general, but. certainly college football has. >> clearly become the number two sport in. the United States of America. And. there's so much room for growth and we. thank you and the boys out there in. Oregon for being a massive piece of. that. Debbut has a question for you. Darren. >> Yeah coach I want to ask you about your. roster. You know every year you know. you're going to lose guys and that's. talent on the field but it's also. leadership in that locker room. So I. want to know a guy a player and kind of. put you on the spot here. Not Dante. Moore, not the quarterback who you. expect to take that leap not only on the.

field but in the locker room when it. comes to like leadership. >> Y I always hate this question by the way. but [laughter] thank you. >> Hell yeah. >> I'm going to actually give you a name. this time. Normally I sidestep it. I'm. gonna give you Evan Stewart's had a. really good offseason and he was out for. us last year. He was injured during the. year. Um but I'm really excited about. what Evan can bring to our team this. year. We have a lot of great players. So. it's it's unfair for me to pick one, but. he's had a great off seasonason. I'm. excited to see what he can create this. year. >> I can't say anything about anybody. because we got a lot of deals with a lot. of guys that might get starting time. because obviously we have to do that. We.

can't offend anybody. And also I don't. want to give anything away to any other. coach. [laughter] That is a uh big deal. right now. I respect and I appreciate. it. How are the vibes of the team. though? Boys hungry obviously. What has. it been like this off seasonason? >> Boys are hungry. You know, this like I. said, this is probably the closest um. group that we've had from a player. standpoint. They ran a lot of meetings. this summer. They've done a lot of work. Uh they're anxious to get on the field. They're really connected. So, uh I know. we can't wait for fall camp to start. These guys, uh they're ready to go. >> Heard you don't zen anymore. That's. cool. Good for you. Congratulations.

>> CONGRATS, COACH. [laughter]. I TOLD YOU THAT. >> You heard [laughter] that? Where'd you. hear that? >> Oh, I I thought that's what I. >> Big news. That was what we heard. Okay. Okay. Hey, listen. Run it back. Listen. >> Uh Tone has the last question for you. >> Yeah, coach. Obviously big for your. offseason. Uh your OC and DC, they both. got head coaching jobs uh at Cal and. Kentucky uh respectively. Like how was. how was that different for you this. offseason? I believe you promoted.

internally, so maybe not a ton of change. there, but how do you feel about your. coordinator positions coming into this. season? >> Yeah, this is the uh we've had three. guys go on to become head coaches in my. four years here, which I think speaks. volumes of, you know, what we've. created. And I'm really excited for, you. know, Tosh and Will and their. opportunity, what that looks like. But. I'm also excited about the guys that we. got to, you know, bump up here with Will. and uh with Drew and uh Chris Hampton. Both those guys have been a part of our. team the last several years. >> [clears throat]. >> They understand how we do it. They're. going to bring some new ideas and fresh.

energy uh to the program. So, I'm. excited to see what they'll be able to. accomplish. >> All right, Dano, enjoy yourself up. there. Big 10 media days. It's in. Chicago. How is it? Is Is this. >> beautiful? >> Shy Town. >> Shy Town. Okay. We get a little bit of. the lasagna pizza stuff that they have. up there. What What any. >> I did I did have a pizza. I walked to. the hotel last night and had some pizza. Uh I think it was called Arta Pizza. It. was nice. >> Pretty good. >> Okay. I appreciate that. Well, Safe. Travels back to Oregon. Obviously, we. can't wait to see your team this year. Congrats on everything and advancing. Uh, win a national championship, will.

you? Geez, it's easy. Everybody's doing. it. Everybody in Big 10 is just doing. >> Sounds good to me. Let's do it. >> Yeah, you're the best. Ladies and. gentlemen, head coach of the Oregon. Ducks. >> SC. >> That's right. SC. >> Yeah, coach. >> I don't think he knew. >> He does a little different. >> Yeah, it's more of a SC. >> Yeah, he's not with the happy [ __ ]. though. He's all about the ball. That's. like whenever uh coach signetti was just.

yelling go Indiana. >> That's awesome. >> A bunch of times. >> That's awesome. >> It is interesting that the coaches. really Hey, do you know what the all the. champs are? Yeah, they say something. about something in there, don't they? Ducks go duck. We saw. >> what David say like he didn't hear the. uh uh what's it called? >> That thing they do in the stadium. It's. blank and thank you Dixie Land Delight. Until he was done. >> Yeah. And he was like, "Wow, they really. adlib in there. They say some stuff. about Tennessee and LSU and. >> I appreciate the Southern football. culture a lot. >> Oh yeah,

>> they love ball down there. They are. obsessed with their schools. >> But the North, man, I I. >> The North has a lot of opportunity. The. The North has a lot of uh I mean they. got more money. It's. >> just I mean that's just the way. >> Pretty simple. And they're doing. business. They're doing business. >> Yeah. And. >> we'll see this year. Listen, I got faith in Kirby Smart down. there. I like Lane Keifin down in LSU. doing what he's doing. >> I like Crystal Ball. >> Okay. Mario Chris, that's Miami. obviously ACC representing. Love that.

They're representing over there. I love. Mario Crystal Ball. And isn't it. fascinating? You think about the ACC. You used to think Dabau obviously with. Clemson. Florida State had a little bit. of a run there. Now it's like the ACC is. Miami. And uh that that's kind of an. interesting conversation as we talk. about people think about breaking away. and who knows what the future looks. like. It's like Miami is becoming a very. valuable asset uh very very quickly with. what Crystal Ball has been able to do. And I've heard the offseason's been. spectacular down there in Miami. So, it's hard to rule out the South entirely.

because if you bring in just southern. schools, I guess, but the SEC, I'm. intrigued to see how they kind of find. find a way to balance the scales with. everything going on off the field in the. north. It's crazy with the like the ACC. like you mentioned Florida State, they. dominated for 20 years when Bowen was. there and then Clemson dominated for how. long when when with Davo being there and. now it's Miami. Like if they all all hit. what at the same time we would have been. talking them talking about them like. we're talking about the Big 10 right. now. But yeah, Miami the the media pool. came out yesterday. I think they got 165. of 171st place votes or something like.

that. So yeah, they're expected to win. uh the ACC for the first time in 20. years down there this year. >> Well, when it comes to the SEC, >> yeah, Duke is the ACC. They are they are. they are that's a one big one big league. up though I think you know SMU maybe I. think a lot of people are saying that. but we talked about this a bunch when. the playoff first started like the great. equalizer is being able to play on these. home campuses and I think a lot of. people thought like hey the SEC is going. to get a majority of these like look at. the Big 10's record against the SEC in. the playoff itself like the now we. talked about hey if you have to go up to.

Ohio State like Tennessee did when we. were there and it was maybe the coldest. night of all time like the Big 10's. going to do just fine in those but. they've been. all the neutral side games, too. >> So, the story has always been, you know, there's, look how many five stars are on. these southern. >> teams. >> Mhm. >> North just doesn't have enough talent. And if you're ranking on projection, talent is what you're going to go off. of. And then all of a sudden, they start. playing these games in, you know, 10. degree weather and it's like, hey, maybe. the North is built for what it needs to. be because of what the weather is. in. the south obviously can be explosive and.

have 42s in four threes across the. board, but the north a little bit more. of an SUV here because it has to be. It's been a fascinating turn on whenever. they're trying to project who the top. teams are and it's like well these teams. aren't building for the same thing, you. know, and whoever has the home game is a. massive advantage because if Ohio State. has to go down in a rocky top there. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Is that a different conversation? I assume probably I assume it is a. little bit of a different conversation. especially with what the records are in. the SEC with night home night games and. everything like that. So.

>> the North getting the higher bids and. getting the home games is a huge deal. for the outcome of everything. The. narrative of everything and maybe the. future of everything. >> They are winning those neutral sight. games though too, aren't they? >> Yeah. >> Rose Bowl. >> and they're also winning. the who gives a bull. >> Yeah. Well, hey, easy easy. You talking. about the Liquest bowl? A lot of people. care about that one. That's a big deal. That's formerly, I believe, the Capital. One Bowl, which used a big one. >> The creme de la creme outside of the BCS. out. >> Yeah, but it ain't a Duke's Mayo. So,

>> yeah, you're right. It is. It is leagues. above the Duke. >> What? >> Yeah. You're you're going to the Duke's. Mayo Bowl if you had yourself a six and. six season and you just, you know, barely skidd it in. >> They got great PR. Those are some bull. games out there just do it better than. others. >> You're talking about the Pop-Tart bowl. >> Popart does it great. Which one did you. Which one? >> The Reliquest Bull. They need to get. formally the Capital One Bowl played at. >> No, you're doing the formerly. What's. the. >> It's the Relia Quest Bowl, which. everybody knows what they, you know, sell and do.

>> They're pretty reliable. >> They're very, >> you hire them to go on quests and. they're very good at them. >> Yeah, they can snoop around. >> And especially with the Iowa Hawkeyes. taking on Vandy in that snooping. reliable festival. >> Where is that one play? >> Rockwood. It's right there in that town. It's loves ball. >> What are you guys talking about? But I. just told you it's at Camping World. Stadium. >> in Orlando. In Orlando? >> Okay. Yeah, I have been there plenty of. times. >> Great venue. >> Mhm. >> It's a big venue. >> Big venue. >> Is that where Jacksonville's playing. this year? >> Yeah, I think so. Is that this year or. starting next year? >> I don't know.

>> Jacksonville feels like they got a team. Travis Hunter has a bunch more weight. He's hopefully going to be healthy. Trevor Lawrence obviously a little bit. more confidence. Liam Cohen a little bit. more experience. Let's talk about. another team in the AFC South that has a. little bit more of everything. >> Uh we got eyes on Daniel Jones back on a. practice field. Remember he told us he. was completely clear for 11 on 111 in. team fresh off in Achilles. We didn't. know if he was going to be back for week. one. He's back for training camp day. one. Anthony Calhoun of WISH TV sent us. in a video and said he looks smooth. He. looks comfortable. He looks confident. He looks athletic. This guy's a.

hashtagquick healer. You know, everybody's saying it on the internet. It's very real. It feels like this guy. is better than ever. And it with the. chip on his shoulder. Okay. His. shoulders are gigantic, by the way. >> Huge. >> He's got one of these. >> He's got a Bob Spalain neck. He used to. Tyler Warren. He's got one of these. Okay. The chips that have been stacked. on Daniel Dimes's shoulders since draft. night when everybody said, "Yeah, right. What a bum. Why is this guy getting. drafted through the New York Giants. experience where he didn't have an. offensive line for a while until he did. have a good run? Oh my god, we do it.

He's gets paid." They kick Saquon. Barkley out of the building because they. say this is Daniel Jones's team. Literally come out publicly and say that. on Hard Knocks like, "Hey, we need to. find out if this guy is our guy or not.". They end up losing a lot of injuries. He. looks like an absolute bum. Saquon. Barkley wins his MVP of the entire. league. [snorts and clears throat]. >> This guy's just been [ __ ] on. Comes out. to Indianapolis, signs to compete. against the number four overall pick, Anthony Richardson, who hadn't really. caught on. Everybody says, "Damn, if. we're starting Danny Dimes, we are. screwed. Danny hears all of it.". >> Boy, they.

>> Danny eats all of it. Colts fans were. asked to do a poll. Now, if you're doing. a poll online, what type of human are. you? We always got to remember that. But. Colts fans were pulled online and they. had 6% optimism. Worst in the entire NFL. going into the season if Daniel Jones. was the quarterback. What did we become? Number one team in the NFL. Number one. offense in the NFL. Danny Dimes had his. best season by far. Lived up to. everything they projected him to be. whenever he was drafted so high out of. Duke. And then it all ends so quickly. It all ends so dramatically. Breaks a. leg, tears an Achilles. We don't win a.

single game for the final two months of. the season. Feels like Danny Dimes has a. lot to prove. The Colts have a lot to. prove. And Chris Ballard, GM, >> Mhm. >> He had this to say at training camp. about his future with the Indianapolis. Colts. >> No. No. I wouldn't do one. >> I'm in the last year of my deal. We need. to win. We need to win. >> Okay. Seems like everything is going. exactly how I would hope it to go in.

Indianapolis. Look out. Super Bowl Dud. >> Hey, I'm right there with you. man, the. the pessimism, the lack of optimism for. fans with with Danny Jimes and Anthony. Richardson competing for you know I. understand it and I if I would have took. that poll I would probably been on that. side too but that's why we have you were. kind of down when they was I was bummed. you all were but you definitely were. anytime you're rooting for a team and. you're going into a season of training. camp with a quarterback competition. usually not a good sign. So for Denny. Dimes to come out and break Pton. Manning's offensive records through that.

time for Jonathan Taylor to be on the. pace that he was on. So that means the. offensive line had to be playing well. Tyler Warren being damn near the best. rookie in the league. Everything was. going right and then injuries happened. which is the worst part of sports in. football. So you got another. opportunity. You got another year with. Shane Stiken. The fact that he's healthy. going into training camp after the. injuries he sustained last season is. incredible. We got Jonathan Taylor in. camp. We'll see if they take care of. him. But you got everything trending in. the right direction. Once again, on that. other side of the ball though, the. defense, you got to answer some. questions there. People got to show up.

And then Chris Ballard, you got you got. a GM kind of as a as a lame duck. Usually, you don't see GMs or head. coaches go into a season and he's like, "Hey, I I wouldn't do a deal. I need to. win." I'm sure coach fans love hearing. that. And we shall see. You got to play. the football games. Our number one. receiver, A Pierce, when will he be. healthy? When will he be back on the. field? Will he take that jump? Because. it's one thing being the number two. receiver or you [snorts] know and then. stepping into that number one role where. every week you're the game recorder. You're getting coverage too. You're. getting safeties. You're getting. doubled. So we shall see. But I got all.

the confidence in the world in Danny. Dimes, Shane Stiken, and these boys in. blue. >> I just I just thought of something when. you said Chris uh Balor say not doing a. deal. Was he asked to do a deal or was. that thing like no? >> He say he wouldn't do it. >> Oh, okay. So even if he asked, "Hey, you. want a new deal?" No. >> Yeah. You want a new five-year? Nope. Not a win this year. >> We don't know if that happened. >> No, I know. He said it. >> No, but. >> they have to They have to win a Super. Bowl this year or he will not sign deal. >> I didn't hear that. Is that what he. said? >> That's what I heard. >> That's what I heard. >> We're just looking at the AFC. It's been. 11 years since the AFC sack. Yeah.

>> Okay. >> CJ Strad was the one that brought that. to my attention four years ago. He was. the. >> He might have been 11 years old. >> He was the [ __ ] of the walk and now. whenever he's walking, people are saying. this guy should not be. >> playing. >> Yeah. >> Jeez Louise. >> Yeah. >> You signed five deals since then. [laughter] Is Jacksonville won one? >> Nobody's been happy about any of them. >> Well, we have been. We've been very and. we like our families, our friends very. happy, you know, that that is certainly. the case. But yeah, I I've been.

nominated for Hall of Fame. >> three times. Yeah. >> You know, uh Venit Terry's in the hole. >> In the hole going [laughter] in. >> Yeah, Frey's in there. Rob needs to get. in there. Reg needs to get in there. That's all going to happen. >> Come on, boys. >> That's why Ballard's like, I can't I I. actually. >> like I've been incredibly unlucky. Andrew Luck retired nine days before. season. Okay. We've been trying to. rebuild entire thing. >> and then we had we're number one team. and broken leg and Achilles and then we. trade a number couple number ones. We. get a corner. He gets hurt first time he. steps on the field. So he's been a bit.

unlucky. So maybe he's about sick of the. you know misfortune as well. >> You can say unlucky. Some people say. lucky. >> Oh cuz he still has. >> still GM's only 32 of those and he's. still a GM without winning in the AFC. South. I know the AFC South is a. >> absolute juggernaut. >> It's a black and blue division. Uh but. um yeah, so we we'll see. >> I mean, people are saying Houston Texas. is going to win a Super Bowl. So yeah, AFC [clears throat] South is potentially. producing a projected Super Bowl. champion in somebody's eyes. So just. remember that whenever you're talking. about the AFC South and Jonathan Taylor.

has gone on to say, I love be a Colt for. life. >> Nice. >> Hey, baby Jonathan. >> Hell yeah. >> We love that. >> It's good to hear. >> He went absolutely h last year. Unbelievable. I mean, he was faster than. everybody, smarter than everybody, and. maybe it did help him to have a. quarterback that knew what was going on. to be able to say, "Hey, we're going. this way." To tell an offensive line, "Hey, we're actually going this way.". And also, I'm Danny Dimes. I'm going to. threaten this way. Everybody on this. side's going to have to be scared to. death at me. A horse Daniel Jones. >> Yeah, I'm worried about the rushing. props. Let's make sure those are good. this year cuz Daniel Jones rushing props.

always hit. You're right. >> Not okay. Not always. They are. If you. are of age, DraftKings available in all. 50 states now. Mhm. >> If you are of age and agree to gamble. responsibly and not all like an [ __ ]. >> Okay. We we would like that to be an. agreement that you make with yourself. and with all of us cuz we don't need you. ruining it. Please. >> Uh Danny Dime's rush yards is normally a. pretty good little. >> pretty high clip. >> Pretty fun little time normally. Also. longest rush of the game normally. because people see him and go look at.

that guy. He looks like actual. is that guy Manning? Is that guy the. whitest human? He's from where? Duke. Okay. when he talks he's super, you. know, potential nerdy. Him running is. outrageous. James Boyd, that Romeoville. kid, I I believe he uh won. Indianapolis's best journalist last. year. >> Really nice. >> # ColtsQB Daniel Jones just ran for what. I think was a first down 11 on 111 11 on. 11. Uh he wasn't permitted to scramble. in the spring, so this is a good sign of. his progress since having Achilles.

surgery. Yeah, he's full go. >> Full go. Daniel Jones is on the move. >> cuz he is full go and everybody. underestimates him. You think defense. has underestimated his running still at. this point? You can't, right? >> No, not at this point. >> He's like 6'5, 235. And he might be. running to four five right now. Yeah. 46. >> He's got no strides. It's kind of like. you you guys probably even still at this. point like Joe Flacco, a young Flaco. when he would that was somebody going. into the game, you would never even. really talk about it and it would just. be one play everybody's covered and. Flaco would just take off and he would. just gallop for 30 yards and like four.

strides. So I feel like Daniel Jones is. kind of that ilk in comparison. U but u. he talked about when he came on the show. he will probably try to play a little. smarter this year maybe run out of. bounds maybe some more incompletions. because the importance of having that. franchise quarterback on the field. availability is your best ability. >> Breaking news uh Brown safety Grant. Delpet is signing a three-year extension. worth6 million per year. Holy hell. So. they're putting 47.1 million into two. players in the secondary for the.

Cleveland Browns. Todd Monkin, new head. coach, he's offense coordinator. Mhm. >> Okay. So, this is a fascinating. development. They move on from Miles. Garrett. Bring in Verse. Who's the. quarterback? Who knows? But David. Moligetta of Athletes Verse. Obviously, I'd assume this is a deal that Moletta. understood. Yeah. >> The ins and outs of. He's done a lot of. business with the Browns with a lot of. money coming towards his clients. Not. just the Browns, everybody else, but the. Browns. >> Mhm. >> That Browns franchise been good the more. we get the clients. >> Yeah, certainly. >> I think they've been very, very good.

Tell me a little bit about Grant Delpit. And did you expect this to happen? I did. not expect this, but not not shocked. He's a very good player. They drafted. him a few years ago. When he's healthy. on the field, he can play inside. He can. play down in the box. He can play in the. deep part of the field. He can fly. around. He's a great I would assume. great in that locker room. Another. communicator. Denzel Ward, when you have. a corner, you kind of, hey, lock down, do your thing. Great man coverage, great. off coverage, can do everything. You're. not worried about Denzel Ward. You also. want that guy towards the middle of the. field, communicating with linebackers, getting in coverages, being that add-on. in the run game. So, I think this is a.

good pick. And when you trade a guy like. Miles Gay, you that's a big chunk. million off the book. Yeah, it's a big. chunk off the book so you can take care. of these young guys. And then. offensively outside of Deshun Watson, it's not a lot of talent who has that. kind of top of the market uh money right. now. So they're investing on the. strength of their team which is the. defense right now and I like that. >> Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. I'm not going to say maybe the only. person that works on air that is. >> is here today. >> or just ever around. >> Not 100% sure. Uh, back-to-back Emmy.

award winner, >> program feud champion, captain. [clears throat]. A captain champion. >> He cheated. >> Debatable. Yeah. >> Ladies and gentlemen, from SEC Nation, from Monday Night Football, from NFL. Live, >> from Program Feud. >> Sure. >> Potentially the mayor and the queen of. this entire campus, ladies and. gentlemen, Laura Rutland. >> LAURA. AH, >> your microphone's muted still. Your.

microphone. There it is. There we go. There we go. Now, I want Hi. It's so. good to see you. Thanks for having me. >> Hi, guys. Hi, Laura. >> Wait, there's there's something that I. want to do. First of all, Debbone, great. work. Like, it's very smooth back there. That's hard to run. I don't know if. anyone realizes how difficult the jib. camera is. >> No, I'm really not. I'm really. impressed. I didn't know he had it in. him. Uh, but I did want to say hello to. one half of the hammer down. >> Hi, Laura. Cowboys AP Tone Talks of. Tables Ty Schmidt. >> Wow. Hi Laura.

>> How many nine NFL vet? Great to see you standing up. >> Way to go. And uh you backtoback Emmy. award winner future. [laughter]. >> I thought you guys were here to present. the championship belt for Pro. >> It's actually stuck in a straight. >> that title. Oh, I should have got the. chair for you. I do apologize. Chivalry. is uh he's not dead. We should have done. that. As you mentioned, there's not many. people here all the time, like. throughout the summer, every day. I'm. used to sitting in my own chair, so I.

can do it myself. >> Okay. Okay. [laughter]. That's why you're winning backtoback. Emmys. Yeah, I understand. Okay. So, obviously, this place is gigantic and it. is wonderful. I believe you guys are. getting a new set right now. Congratulations on all the success. How. long have you been with ESPN now, Miss. Laura? >> Oh, uh, since 2014. I started with the. SEC Network, which that feels like a. good way to transition into I feel like. there's a little hate towards the South. No, no, no, no. So, we're just talking. about facts and stats. >> Okay, that's fine. Except I wanted to. point out just a couple things. So, I. think one of the reasons why the SEC.

maybe has not advanced as far in the. playoff as some SEC fans would like to. see, um, is because the competition. within the league is so difficult that. nine games of craziness uh, week in and. week out, >> little different than other parts other. other conferences. I'm not I'm not. dissing on the big. >> cannibalize each other, right? By. the time they get to the end, there's. not many left. For one, they eliminate. each other. But furthermore, they're. gassed. They're injured. They have. issues. I'm not making excuses. I'm just. pointing out facts because you were. pointing out facts. And then, um,

>> yeah, >> we're all gassed. I mean, in North can't. get gas. >> Okay. But the other thing I would like. to point out is look at the NFL draft. and how many players come out of the. SEC. And. >> that's how we. >> good individual players. >> Okay. That's crazy you guys can't win. like that with all the talent. I mean, now you start wondering. >> I got a lot of faith in Kirby Smart as a. selfish league. Yeah. What? Can't come together. [laughter]. >> People are not selfish. >> I didn't say. >> no. We like hospitality. I know that. >> Mora, I would like to say this uh as a. southern representative, which I do. believe we all agree that you are. Okay.

SEC Nation representative and uh Florida. Gator and everything like that. Go. Gator. >> I would like to say I think our. relationship with the South has been a. little bit rocky for a while. You know, me getting dropped into college game. day, I learned a lot about how the South. feels. But what I've learned about the. South over these years is boy, they love. ball, man. And you know, every time we. bring it up, like your reaction there. naturally was go, excuse me, [laughter]. we would that is how everybody in the. south feels. So I think that type of. pressure and expectation will create. some winning yet again. But I'm. interested to see how they work it out,

honestly. >> So I do want to say I think that um. people in the South enjoy you and I. think they enjoy the show. Like I I. think you guys have a lot of Southern. fans. >> I' I've seen a lot of. >> Oh yeah, Augusta, hold on. Augusta, there was a lot of positivity toward the. Pat McAfee show and Pat McAfee. Um, I. think that you may be underelling just. how wellreceived you are by the South. >> If you're saying it, we will jot it. down. >> Well, because we do love ball and you. guys love ball and that's one of the. best things about your program. >> Okay, so let's talk about loving ball.

Back toback Emmy award winner for NFL. Live. NFL Live. >> I can take no credit for that, by the. way. That is because of the team. Okay, we've learned a lot about your. team and previous teams and everybody's. team and NFL lives team and the stats. and the numbers and the percentage of. households and everything like that. What we do know is it's a great show and. we appreciate your dedication to ball. and everything like that. The NFL is. cooking right now. Training camp. obviously Aaron Dawn what's going to. happen with him? Vea, is he on the move. or is he staying there? What are you. paying attention to and what do you. think is big storyline for NFL live to. chitchat and cover today? >> Yeah, there's so much. I mean yesterday.

even on the show we're like I'm sure you. guys run into this too. We don't have as. much time as y'all do, but we run out of. time and [laughter] we're like, how do. we get this piece of news in? How do we. get that piece of news in cuz we want to. serve the fan in the best way we can, but I think the Bucks situation is. fascinating. Vita, to me, that came out. of nowhere that he was requesting a. trade. It felt like things were kind of. moving along and it was going to be a. little complicated to do the deal. He's. over 30, whatever, but they were going. to get it done. And then all of a. sudden, here we are. He's like, actually, I want out and I'm going to. put a lot of pressure on Jason Light. Um, and then Baker Mayfield, too. So,

it's like you don't want to do a deal. with this guy and then he's going to end. up saying, "Hey, my back's against the. wall. That's when I play my absolute. best. That's when I show out." Um, I. think they could end up regretting that. I don't I don't know the particulars. from Baker's side, right? We really are. only hearing the side from the Bucks. that they weren't able to get it done. But, um, it was interesting. We had Jeff. Darlington on our show and he mentioned. that Jason Light is a GM that likes to. do a handshake deal. Like, he actually. wants to see you in person and, uh, put. pen to paper and all that. And that was. why some people thought there was a hold.

up with getting these done and then here. we are where they're not going to get. done. So or it seems like we're trending. that way. So. >> yeah, if Vita leaving, Mike Evans is. gone, Devonte David retires, you know, who knows what's. >> I still think they're going to be good. though. >> Absolutely. If Baker Mayfield's a. quarterback, I believe in him. I think. you kind of have to. And if uh Todd BS. has ever seen a defense, we assume they. will be good. You lose Vita though, I. think that's a big piece. Rick Stout at. the Tampa Bay Times. We love local. journalists. >> I saw he was on your show. That was big. I love how you guys will have the local. reporters, you'll have people like.

that's really It sounds like you watch. our show, which is crazy to think. >> I'm a big fan of the show. Yeah, I watch. it every day. >> Well, you're in the ESPN building, so. the only person probably that's actually. in here. >> Yeah. Yeah, we. >> It actually is. I signed that part of my. contract that said I have to watch the. Pat McAfee show every day. >> Well, just ESPN programming and we are. lucky and thankful to do that. But thank. you for watching the program. But Rick. Straoud basically said Vive in that. locker room is a blue guy too. So, like. this is an interesting dynamic that we. don't think we've seen Tampa do. Now, you talk about a guy saying handshake.

deals. Jerry Jones is talking and what. Jerry Jones led to everybody just start. automatically assuming and Dan Olavski. kind of alluded to this on our show. I. don't know what he did on NFL Live. yesterday. We were traveling. We missed. it. But because we watch NFL Live so. what I'm hearing here is I we watch the. Pat McAfee show and you guys don't. always watch NFL. Pat was very busy. I watched it was. Theelen and Dano and Dano was just. horrendous. All right. So, let's talk. about. >> was really good, but Dan was horrible. >> Feeling really good, though.

>> Did you guys see the stuff where he was. talking about the hand signals with. Aaron Rogers? That was cool. Throw up, Adam. >> Yeah. Well, >> he was pooping his pants [laughter] out. there cuz he's trying to look and see. what Aaron Rogers is doing with his. hands. Anyway, >> sounds basically alluded to us. I don't. know if you guys talked about it on Info. Live. Once again, we were traveling, which is why we missed it. We watch. every single day. Dano was like, "Is Max. Crosby going to end the season as a. Raider?" And we hadn't even You guys. cover the NFL all year round as well. We. hadn't even thought of that because I. mean Max just put out a Raider way.

>> That's right. Raider life. >> like an actual song. And then he was. talking about how the football gods. basically sent him a message here that. he's supposed to be a Raider when. Baltimore kicks him out of there. And. then Dano kind of drops that in. And. then Jerry Jones says, "Hey, listen. We'll get the wagon. We'll put more. wagons on top of wagons and then we'll. get a white rapper wagon and never stop. He's got battery. Actually, this guy's. battery and never quits and then we'll. get to Los Angeles." He didn't say that, but everybody automatically was like, "Wait, is he talking about Max Crosby?". What are your thoughts? Is Max Crosby on. the move? We didn't know that was. possible. And if that is the case, Max.

Indianapolis, we would love. >> He's not coming to Indie. >> You already gave up two first round. picks for Sauce. >> Yeah, but we got more in the future. That's the funny thing about the future. We'll give up the future for. >> Chris doesn't care about him because he. might not. >> Hey, Jerry Jones said that. He actually. said that. But forget the Colts then. But Max Crosby story, how do you feel. about that? And then you can kind of. pivot into the Raiders as a whole. We. love Fernando. Obviously just pounded. the South in the playoffs. >> Thank you for that reminder time and. time again. >> Absolutely. [laughter] He was so good. They were so good. Now there's a lot of.

money for that team. There's going to. continue to be as such if you win, but. can you tell me about the Raiders and. Max Crosby story and why that happened? Do you have the same sources as Dan? >> A few things. I think your Jerry Jones. impersonation really good. Very strong. >> I heard you saying honey hole ear. [laughter]. >> Yeah, exact. No, I'm aware. Um I wasn't. sure but I looked it up. So, I think. Dano, as Debbut said earlier, he could. have just been yapping. Like, I don't. know that Dano has actual sources. There. have been a few times where he's come up. with stories like this and we're like, "Dan, where are you hearing that?" And. he's like, "I just think that would be a.

good idea." I'm like, "Okay, well, you. can't say that as if it's true because. then people believe it." But, [laughter]. um, the rare good idea that he has. But, no, I I do think that there's a chance, right? There's always a chance that Max. Crosby's on the move. If the Cowboys. could get him, are you kidding me? I. mean, we know their offense is Super. Bowl caliber. It's it's more about the. defense being what it needs to be. They. have obviously made an investment in. that defense, but um I I think that. Crosby will stay a Raider and I I think. a lot of that has to do with the fact. that the Raiders are feeling pretty good. about what they've got in their future.

Like it makes sense for Kurt Cousins to. be the starter, but Fernando Mendoza is. going to be an incredible franchise. quarterback for this team. And by the. way, Fernando Mendoza, he might be a. super genius. [laughter]. >> I know that he might be a super genius. He's a really smart guy. He's incredibly. talented and he's such a great leader. Like that is that's a cornerstone. franchise type guy and I think they made. the right decision drafting him number. one overall. >> I Okay, I like that you think that. because we've heard other NFL live. people obviously bang an actual literal. drum the opposite direction. Yes, we are.

once again referring to. the Yukon legend. We're back up here. Debb has a question for you, Miss Laura. >> Yeah, Laura, I know you got a beat on. the entire league. What? We had a. graphic actually maybe a couple weeks. ago uh with new faces in new or familiar. faces in new places, coaches, players. Who are you most excited about in their. new place? AJ Brown, Miles Garrett, Mike. McCarthy, now head coach of the. Steelers. Harbaugh in New York. Who are. you most excited about in this this.

season? >> Okay. Well, first of all, I just want to. shout out the production side of your. show because they are so good popping up. graphics, video anytime, like just from. a TV standpoint. >> I'm so impressed. Hey, Foxy. >> Go Foxy. You're killing it, dude. So. good. It It really is. It's so smooth. Good job, Gumpy. I saw you back there. Um, not good job, >> Gumby. Okay. I saw you, too, Miss Laura. [laughter].

>> That was huge for Gumby. You have no. idea. >> No, I love Gumby. Uh, anyway, so it's. Miles Garrett's obvious. I'm just. excited for him because I feel like he's. been a player that for so long has had. to just slog through it, right? Uh, the. Browns are paying a lot of defensive. guys right now for whatever reason, but. not that they didn't pay him, but I. think he's going to be in a great spot. and I can't wait to see what he does. Um, >> I love this list actually. We might have. to steal this for NFL Live. Two is. interesting to me. I know he's a little. banged up right now, but I actually. think it could be a bit of a resurgence. for him. I know some people hate on him,

but I think he's actually better. specifically in the Stfansky offense. than we're giving him credit for. We'll. have to see, but like, you know, listen, he's a precision passer. That matters. I. think they could be really good. Actually, the Falcons. I'm not just. saying that because I'm from Atlanta. Um, and then what about Jaylen Wadd? It's a good one. >> I know the forgotten one. >> They're like they're like a receiver. away, right? And we saw what they did. I. think Bo Nicks got a little chip on his. shoulder even after having such a great. season last year. And and having a. target like Wadd in a Shawn. Payeyton/Davis.

Mills offense is really going to be. great. So, I like him a lot. >> I like um obviously a lot of big names. in new places. AJ Brown for the Patriots. is going to be crazy to kind of us all. realize that. Was that week one or week. two? What do we What do we think is. >> Week one there? That's a prime time game. against Seattle. So, that'll be a big. one. >> AJ Brown goes crazy. >> Maybe, probably not, though. >> I'm thinking 10 receptions defense. I. don't. >> One of these games though, he's going to. go early and it's going to be like, oh, they got AJ Brown, you know. And then. Mike Evans with San Francisco. We've. been watching some clips come out of him. running around in uh San Francisco. He.

has over 1,000 yards what for 20. straight years. Brock Pery adding that. and then Brandon Iayuk we Hey, >> I think he's just he's just going to. show up, right? >> Good luck out there, man. >> Bought a house, right? >> Okay. >> Oh, you're following as well. Okay. So, we're all kind of Yeah, we're all kind. of It's part of the job. Part of the. job. Part of the job. But there is a lot. of new faces that can actually change. trajectories of programs, you know, like. I mean, as small as it is, Patrick. Ricard in the backfield for the Giants. with Scataboo back there. That is an.

absurd thing that Harbaugh will probably. take advantage of. And remember they in. there, they're New York Giants. >> Tone has a question for you, Miss Laura. >> Yeah, I do. By the way, Dan and his. sources, they told me they treat him. like a mushroom. They just feed him [ __ ]. [ __ ] and keep him in the [laughter]. dark. So, you could just do the same. thing. >> Dan said that to do that. >> No, his sources. I spoke to his sources. They were like, "Yeah, yeah, we just. feed him shit.". >> He's like, "A mushroom? I don't eat. those." [laughter]. >> Exactly. U But I was like I just. thinking about this week like preparing. for the show today. It was so awesome.

How much better is it to host NFL Live. on July 29th versus let's say July 2nd? >> Like I'll be honest, we're making some. stuff up. Like there's like some days. I'm like, man, >> can't say that. >> This show Well, >> back toback Emmy award winner. We make. the stuff up. You [laughter] can't be. making stuff. >> No, no, no, no. I mean, we'll be like, man, like what is there to talk about. today? And we're trying to listen, we're. trying to serve sports fans anytime, anywhere here at ESPN, but um. >> there's some rough ones out there. And. I'll I'll look back at the show. I mean, I watch back a lot of our shows for self. critique and just like to critique the.

entire group and see what we need to do. better. And I will be mad about those. shows. So, to answer your question, I am. thrilled. This feels like Christmas. We've had news. We've had so much to. talk about. I don't know about you guys, I never want to wish summer away, but I. love balls. So, the fact that we're. getting closer to it. We're going to do. a whole camp special on Saturday on ESPN. from 9 to 12. Shameless plug. Sorry, had. to do it. >> Not shameless. I'm excited we're doing. that. Hold on. What's happening on 9:12? It's called our back together weekend. So, uh, everyone's back together. Everyone's in camp. We fly around to all.

the camps. We showcase what every team. is doing. Um, and it just kind of feels. like finally you can smell it in the air. a little bit. Football's back and I. can't wait. >> I like you said you don't want to wish. away summer. We do, man. I mean, we did. a lot. >> You guys are anti-summer or what's You. guys have been busy though. You've been. all over the place showing up at all. kinds of great events. Yeah, >> we do. Flag football, World Cup. >> Listen, it means a lot when you guys. show up. It It adds a lot of legitimacy. to everything that's happening there. So. good for you. >> This is why she's the mayor of this. place. >> She's gassing us up. >> It might be lies, but I love it.

[laughter] I'm not lying. I don't lie. I. can't lie. That's. >> You just said you guys make stuff up. I. don't lie. >> I I told the truth about making stuff. up. That's true. Yeah. But. >> lying in the moment, I guess. [laughter]. >> Yeah. So, we got to judge when the lie. actually happened. What we would like to. say is we appreciate your kindness. Certainly appreciate your kindness. Thank you for watching. And uh you have. been somebody in the NFL live crew as a. whole. A couple not really but mostly. been so welcoming to us and uh we're. lucky enough. >> Wait, who not really has who's not been. welcoming? >> Dan, >> it's most people off camera.

>> Who? >> All of them. >> Who do I need to talk to? >> No. No, we're not getting into this. right now. This is a good day. [laughter]. >> This is Mike Foss's time. >> Oh, I can't wait. I'm showing up for. that. >> You're going? >> Well, so. >> so what is the deal? We've never been to. one of these. So, so it's going to be I. Well, I don't know. I don't know what. his what his material is. We have to ask. him. But [clears throat] everyone's. going to show up and it's a room off the. cafeteria here at ESPN, which I know you. guys have partaken in the ESPN. cafeteria. Great food. Great. >> Shout out to them. >> Um, and then, you know, Foss is going to.

tell us a bunch of really smart things. I hope he's funny. Like, I hope there's. >> Oh, you expecting him to be funny? >> Yeah. What is the expectation around. him? Pressure on him. He's a funny guy. >> Well, but okay. But so I'm going to walk. I'm going to walk over there and be. there for that and then I'm going to. have to leave a little early because. then I'll have to go host NFL live. The. the timing of Foss's town hall is not. great for me, but I will still show up. for him cuz I'm a big fan. >> Okay. So I like to hear that that he's. got a fan and you backtoback Emmy award. winner. One of the voices of ball. One. of the faces of ball.

>> Oh, he went away. >> Yeah. Well, he can be back right now. >> Now [laughter]. right. >> now. He is. Good luck, Foss. We're. pulling for This is Mike Foss's 10. You're the mayor though. And uh thank. you for joining us. You're the first. person we've had live since coming to. Indiana. >> I will say it does feel a little bit. like there were slim pickings today AND. THAT'S NOT. >> NO, NO, NO. We're back tomorrow from. Indianapolis. Be a friend. Tell friends. something nice. Change your life. Goodbye. Great work there. You adjust. it. That's back to back. >> Well, sometimes you nail that send off.

and sometimes you don't, [laughter] you. know. >> Okay. So, you've seen it. Is that the. general you or you speaking about? >> No, I'm talking about him. Like there. are some times where I'm like, "Ah, you. didn't land the plane today." But. >> no, it's always. we miss the runway a little bit, but. just know that the plane is always on. wheels, you know, and it's a little. >> turbulence in the landing and then you. get it back. >> I'll tell you, speaking of turbulence. and landing, >> we we had turbulence. >> Oh, yeah. Big time. >> We're a bucking bull. >> How does everybody deal with that? Like, do you guys.

>> Tai's normally pretty intoxicated? I. mean, I'm going to be honest. >> I start spraying. He closes his eyes and. starts. >> No, I said yesterday. Usually I'm not. sitting on there's a bench and that is. that is the worst place to be when. there's like you kind of [ __ ]. >> but I see Tai start to pray and then I. get nervous. >> and it kind of radiates through. >> We've been through we I mean luckily now. the plane is much bigger and it can. handle the turbulence a little bit more. Oh, but at the start of this thing we. were flying in shoe boxes and you know. into New York and just [ __ ] pouncing.

around like [laughter] popcorn. Those. weren't fun flights. >> As somebody who flies commercial. everywhere, I'm always like, man, like. we we do we do that too. >> all the time. >> Yeah. >> Um. >> when we're not. >> I know I should ask you guys what. certain airports look like and see if. you really do. But but no, I. >> Detroit, we know the long runway. walkway, walk down the. >> turbulence either. And sometimes I'm. like, man, I'm glad I'm on a big. commercial plane in the middle seat with. some fat. >> No, [laughter] you're okay. All right.

We hear what you're doing and I want to. let you know we respect it certainly and. we are very lucky. But on that note, there's been numerous times we all. thought we were dead and I think that. has changed our perspective on things, you know. >> Sure. >> And uh I'll tell you, we do appreciate a. good Jack Daniels bottle on that plane. >> Oh yeah. >> That'll get you through. Yeah. >> Oh yeah, my lord. We're lucky to cover. ball. We're very thankful to be a part. of a partnered with a network that has. you on it. You have done incredible. stuff for ball, for sports, obviously. for the league, for college football. This upcoming season's huge. We got the. Super Bowl here on ESPN. Come on. We got.

a lot of Toy Story. Uh you were in a Toy. Story commercial, obviously. >> I can't wait to see that. >> I still haven't seen it either. >> Yeah, you guys are It's It's awesome. >> You've seen it. We're in it. You're in a. commercial. >> Well, we're all in that same commercial. >> Oh, okay. So, we shot it uh on a super. rainy shot. >> Oh, that's out. That's not a secret. >> It's not Well, the commercial's not out, but I believe the secret's out. There. were different parts. >> Toy Story, I think, is your part. I'll tell you what, we uh.

>> we did some real acting in there. >> Yeah, we did, >> didn't we, boys? We did. >> We did some real acting. You know what's. a shame though, Miss Laura? And you. wouldn't know this because I assume. everybody on your team's all in. Debbot. and AJ said, "Get us out of here." And. they didn't want to be a part of it. >> That wasn't true. You know, family. obligate. Summer family. I didn't know. ahead of time that we were doing this. >> That's on you. >> Okay. And like you said, you know, flying commercial, you don't have, you. know, when the when the plane leaves, you got to be there. >> Feel you. >> He also said he hates Toy Story. >> What? >> Uh, no, I like Toy Story.

>> We hold you in our hearts and when we. think about you, >> we really want to fart. What is it? We. want to fart. Okay, I will say yes. >> We don't want to fart. It makes me want. to fart. >> Well, okay. >> Did you know it? >> No, I didn't know it, but I I had Anana. in my head for hours yesterday because. you guys kept singing that song to every. single person. I don't think a single. person knew who it was. >> Dan.

know that. >> too young to know it. I think. >> no you're not. >> Maybe. Actually, actually maybe that. might have been a generational. >> You know, Boy Meets Boy Meets World, right? >> Yeah, but I didn't really too young to. watch you world. >> What? >> No. >> What about um Say by the Bell? You. didn't watch? >> No. >> What? Jeez. >> Fresh Prince Martin. >> watching sports. Um, cuz we weren't. >> global guts. Global guts. [laughter]. >> What was that one? >> Global guts. Clarissa explains it all.

>> Sally Jesse Raphael, Jerry Springer, Alex. >> Um, I was watching TV Land so I watched. a lot of I Love Lucy. >> Nice. Mary Tyler Moore show. Uh, Brady. Bunch. >> Probably commentary. >> Who's that family that struck oil? >> Oh, the Walton. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. No, no, Hillbillies. Uh the. Beverly Hill. [laughter]. >> Oh, that's when they picked up and moved. from West Virginia to LA. >> Yeah. Anyway, >> TV Land, man. What a channel.

>> Is it still on? It's turned into game. show now. >> Maybe it's it was. >> I don't think it did. Definitely is not. on there. >> Was San on. >> Okay, let's talk about program feud. Do. you do you know that the Thunderdog. [laughter]. >> had. >> I'm very familiar with that sound. They. have disputed the. >> sound of a loss. [laughter]. >> You are what your record is. >> They have disputed um your guys's win. I. don't know. >> I've heard this. I've heard you guys. thought we had too much time. Go back. watch. >> I will say okay. All right. Well, I.

>> We also go back and watch all of our. shows. >> I wasn't hosting it. Um. >> so I couldn't control the time. >> I felt like you were very fair though. We took your team was fair as well. >> Excellent. No, you guys, that's really. hard to host. Really good. Back toback. Emmy awardw winning host here. If you. guys could have a little bit of respect. for her opinion. >> You guys are Emmy nominated. Okay. And. hopefully we'll win. >> She beat you in that one too, boys. >> I did not. It wasn't. That was a group. win. But no, I think I don't think we.

had too much time. I think honestly the. survey was weird. Like some of those. like you guys should have beat us in all. honesty. Don't cut that off right there. You should have beat us in the last. round with the quarterbacks and then. like Brett Favre. Who thinks Brett. Favre's going to. >> You guys did. You're the ones who did. because we finally like after peeling. back every single layer of possible. quarterback like all right back. >> But you want to know the true story is I. really almost said Drew Brees. I was.

like this close to saying Drew Brees. I. was like no it's not going to be Drew. Brees. He's not big not a big enough. name. It's going to be Brett Favre. >> And turns out it was and that was a game. winner. Brett Favre beats the. Thunderdogs. the irony. >> to give NFL Live a dub in Program Feud. All right, we're going to get the hell. out of here. Laura, we appreciate you so. much for stopping by. >> Thanks for having me. >> The first time we came and did the show. up here, we were like, "Okay, cool." A. lot of people will be our pick of the. litter. >> People are going to come in live. >> It's going to be great to see people. We. call our lobster. We're like, "Are you. around?" Absolutely not. What are you.

talking about? I would never be up. there. Don't you live in the area? Yeah, but not today. I'm I'm on a beach. What. are we talking about? I'm like, "All. right, we got to be somebody else.". Like, "Uh, no. They all shoot New York, actually." It's like, well, who's up. here? Gary and Randy. >> Okay. Gary and Randy and the NFL live. crew. Every single time they've said, "You are basically the only person. that's here." So, we appreciate you. doing that. >> Thank you for finally having me on then. Like, every single time they said that. and then this time we've only been here. twice. >> I also feel as though, which I'm I'm. thrilled to be on. This is one of my. favorite shows. Um, that you guys were.

like, "Man, we got nobody, so I guess. we're going to have to ask her.". >> No, no, no. It was first time we were. presented with your name. We would say. >> that's awesome. >> That was just like program feud. That. was just like program feud. Uh we wanted. to uh do it with NFL Live. So we sent. the request to ESPN. >> Yeah. >> To kind of handle that entire thing. We. expected nobody to come. So you guys. coming out and doing that we're very. grateful for. >> We had a lot of fun. >> Well, you're going to have to defend. your defend your title. >> Uh we've asked for a rematch already. I.

don't know when we're defending. >> So did we. I liked it. >> Yeah. Like I want to give you guys a. fair shake at it. Thank you. >> That's the three. You know, >> maybe we can play by the same set of. rules this time, too. >> Well, Ty, I mean, I don't know what set. of rules you're We did play by. >> Hembo just texted me and said that you. guys had 15.8 seconds between each. answer, AND WE HAD 3.4. >> WOW. >> SO, YOU TELL ME. >> Hebo said that. I love Hembo. I can't. believe he's doing that. More like 25. 30. [laughter]. >> Okay. Every single time. I I watch the. film back like I do every show. >> Sure. >> I think that was maybe on Sheffy being.

too slow. Sher being too slow. like. coming fresh out of that New York game. >> He was on 15 minutes asleep. >> Tony absolutely ethered him when they. went up and he about he fell hookline. and sinker for the fake handshake into. the hair. >> Yeah. So maybe it was program feud karma. kind of dunking in the Thunderdog's face. the way you guys were because remember. they before the show started were. gathering throwing out potential ideas. and working. What were you guys doing? Barking at each other and now we know. maybe that's not the right route to.

focus in a little bit more. We were. preparing for our show from noon to 1. Okay. They were off that day. >> Oh, yep. >> Well, actually, while you guys were. doing your show, we were preparing more. >> Yeah. See, >> of the Thunder. >> in the trailer. >> that you got for us. It was very nice. >> with the food truck. >> Chips were stacked. >> That was an incredible experience. We. love We've all talked about that a ton. >> Really thankful. Yeah. >> Look at us boys. >> It was fun. >> It was fun. >> It was fun. >> I hated it. >> No, it was great. I I hated the results.

I hated that. I feel that we got. cheated, but. >> by who? Who do you get cheated by? >> The timekeeper. And I don't know who. that who I need to take umbrage with. But that guy also AJ kind of sucked. >> No, >> I thought AJ was the one that sent the. fired up text. Like I felt like he was. coming with it. That actually made me. then when I heard that he did that, I. was like, shoot, I'm the team captain. Like I better get going here. And I. that's when I. >> Why' you guys have to get so big mouthed. about it? She would have never sent the. text to fire the team up if we weren't. so. >> braggadocious about AJ taking a little.

bit of leadership there. God, there's so. many things you guys can learn for next. time. And I'm not the one to blame. You. guys need to look into. >> I wasn't blaming you. I said whoever. that timekeeper is. Maybe it was Bill. Maybe it was T. Maybe it was Bono. Chris. Nolan over here. I don't know. Uh so. we'll see. >> I'll tell you what, today has been a. little Oenheimer. I think you've done an. incredible job multiple times having. half the screen on and then half the. screen off. That's been really artsy, I. would say. Bone, good job, buddy. >> Bon. >> Bon, I'll tell you, you might have. earned yourself a full-time jib job back.

at Thunderdome. Making. >> you want to do you want to do the jib. operation for NFL Live today? >> Wow. >> Oh, he's down. He doesn't want to do it. Okay. >> Yeah.

Good work. >> Didn't break the jib, which we are all. very impressed by. We thought there was. a ch Way to go, Bone. Uh, Tone and Ty, way to hold down over there. You guys, you guys didn't look small and round at. all from these camera angles. >> Feels like you saying that. >> I just You could raise your chair up a. little bit. >> Chairs are small.
