[Applause]. [Music]. hello beautiful people and welcome to. the Hard Rock stadium in beautiful Miami. Florida the home of the Orange Bowl. [Music]. tonight. football is the topic of conversation on. uh this particular show damn near every. single day because football never stops. and you want to talk about football. never stopping how can you not talk. about what's happening tonight.

the semi-finals of the college football. playoff kick off on this beautiful. Bermuda grass right here behind me now I. was told that this grass was laid. specifically for this game so tonight. should be absolutely fantastic we're. being told from our. source says it's going to be about 5050. tonight in this Stadium we're going to. have half Notre Dame half Penn State and. this place is going to be electrifying. as two heavyweights will Slug It Out The. Trenches will probably win this game or. will the quarterbacks win this. particular game we'll talk about that. and so much more we got Drew rosenhouse.

who I think actually uh owns a piece of. Miami stopping by in about 20 minutes. called him about an hour and a half ago. and uh he was actually uh taking his jet. ski to get service right now actually. Pat and uh we asked if he could swing by. to come chitchat with us and he said. absolutely obviously Drew rosenhouse is. plugged in everywhere not only in Miami. and the NFL but he's uh pretty big focal. point of a lot of conversations. obviously Tyreek Hill everything going. on down in Miami Drew's a Miami guy very. connected to the Dolphins how's that.

unfolding we shall see but also. tonight's game Abdul Carter okay uh pass. rusher from Penn State he's about 6'4. he's probably going to run a 4-2 he's. got a elite Bend and power he's a game. changer game wrecker for the Penn State. nitty Lions he's repped by Drew. rosenhouse will he be playing tonight. how much will he be playing tonight what. is he expecting and is there any uh. business thoughts uh behind a lot of. these decisions and then obviously the. entire NFL slate will have to be picked. because we're off tomorrow and uh we're. going to have a blast we can't thank the.

ESPN people enough for the setup here on. the field in the I mean in Hard Rock. stadium at the orange bolt we're going. to be doing a simoc cast live tonight on. ESPN 2 uh we're living the dumbest lives. of all time and obviously I'm very lucky. to be doing it alongside a great cast of. characters the talk to tables here at. Bon Connor and at taii con man only one. up here not wearing a hood yeah you know. I felt like he you are muted was I knew. you are muted still so I believe uh. let's go back to the truck there foxy uh.

can you tell Nick that Connor is on. darius's microphone which is the guest. microphone I do believe there was uh. from what I was told a little bit of. Chaos in a truck behind the scenes and I. think that's potentially because we have. forced people to travel down here early. that normally don't have to set up until. college game day to do this entire thing. so we appreciate the amount of work that. has been taking place they're working on. it they're working on nice oh there it. is yeah yeah no no hoodie you know I. felt like as a New England guy to come.

down here to Miami at Soft Rock stadium. and just kind of my you heard me we've a. lot A lot has been coming out I'm sure. it'll come up at some point but this. isn't a Hard Rock stadium this is a very. soft rock stadium and they're not and. they're rocking softs when they're in. here too by the way yeah not not much. full chubs we got the Eagles down here. yeah yeah I I'd say but it's great to be. down here it really is it's crazy and we. were looking at the layout before you. know last came at the Rose Bowl maybe. we're standing in front of some people. that were pretty pissed off about it you. know front row you're paying a lot of. money call when you look around here NFL.

stadiums boom little raised so we're. going to have no no issues whatsoever. we're not going to annoy anybody getting. anybody's way I'm sure we'll annoy. people with the things that we say but. it's still going to be awesome and. hopefully it's a great game yeah I hope. it's a great game we at Tai Schmid. you're in a hoodie right now Green Bay. Packers Fan from Iowa uh I saw you on. the plane ride in here boy you were. zoned yeah I was sneezing yeah SN was it. the real American Beer Brother or was it. the three-month-old that's potentially. catching up to the schedule that's. currently taking more so that didn't get.

to bed last night until about 11: when. she went to bed I put her down about. 6:45 so that's about you know 5 hours of. checking her every two two minutes and. having to pick her up and hold her try. to shush her so yeah you know I mean. I'll be honest I wore the sweatshirt. thinking hey I'm going to pop I'm going. to pop the top right when I get down. here we're going to Miami we're going to. the Caribbean it's going to be oh man. beautiful to get man especially with. what we're going through exactly we got. cold obviously nothing in comparison but. it's still cold bitter cold as hell yeah. but you get down here it's 40° and and. listen you know you start to get a.

little bit older you get a little bit. softer okay it's just the way it is. we're all from cold weather cities we've. we've put in our time we've done that so. it's a real treat when you get to come. down to a place like Miami cuz you're. expecting 75 You're Expecting sun and. it's sunny but boy I tell you what 40 it. it might as well be 25 this is uh this. is March 15th March 16th yes you know. that's a a little bit of a hello you. know from the spring but it's certainly. better than what the bitter cold was. didn't expect it for sure but obviously. Notre Dame and pen would be very.

comfortable in these particular. conditions especially with how the grass. is going to be let's go to one half of. the. hammer Cowboys AP tone you had to put. your votes in for all your AP Awards did. you get it right yeah I got it right. really I heard there was a little bit of. a waffling I heard there was some waffle. there was 100% conviction what go ahead. nine-year NFL vet host of everything DB. good D bad D the man who launched. yesterday his all everything DB team. where there was some arguments to be. made on the internet about who got left.

off the team there what were you saying. there a little bit oh you know his picks. we talked about him putting his picks in. and I don't know if you can say them. publicly I I cannot. I proba shift the sports books but I. didn't I didn't love some of them but. hey these these PS are tough and all. these a lot of you found out what you. found out I don't know what's happened. right here but this [ __ ] it's what. you signed up for pal that's right you. got AP vote look at me AP tone that's. what it was happen speaking over. shoulders listen I um I I did I watched.

my own film I watched my all 22 I did my. stat research NFL Plus premium NFL but. for like all the POS like I would have. been dumb not to consult you pat first. for this special team I know who he. picked too yep I would have been dumb. not to consult Darius Butler for the. secondary AQ for the offensive line. position I didn't consult AJ for. linebacker I don't respect him as a. player or a person what ladies and. gentlemen that's college football. national champion Super Bowl champion. Rider Cup winner AJ HW.

uh why don't you respect AJ Hawk that's. unbelievable no I do I just like to ja. him off take a couple. shots you're just jagging them off all. night we got next to that was with the G. that was with a G not with a CK uh but. no I submitted those yesterday I feel. good about all of them I I'll be honest. defense player of the year was the most. difficult one but uh you know I feel. good about it okay that's good uh AJ. you're a college football national. champion the college football semifinals. will be kicking off this evening here. 7:30 Hard Rock Stadium some people.

saying srock good start time great great. start time now for the West Coast. obviously we would like to send before. we go any further that H the happening. in California right now with those fires. is straight out of like maybe the most. scary nightmare situation that I could. fathom it feels like just from what. we've been able to see on the internet. and whatever the algorithm is kind of. popping in front of us as we're all. witnessing this live in real time. together it's like feels like these.

fires are obviously very devastating but. then with the winds they're just going. anywhere so I think everybody is kind of. either on guard or trying to evacuate or. there's p i mean in and then the water. thing that's it is we would just like to. say uh I know this doesn't probably mean. anything but like we will try to be the. [ __ ] on your phone screen right now. if you're evacuated or in a hotel. somewhere and try to make those uh. decisions we are so sorry you're going. through what you're going through right. now and uh we hope that Sports and us. being masses can be a little bit of an.

escape that that is what we hope for and. I don't even know how the hell that all. goes and gets Sure Fit I don't even that. is Devastation on another level we are. so sorry you going through it from all. of us all right uh now with that being. said tonight here at Hard Rock stadium. the Orange Bowl is obviously a very. coveted BCS Championship it's been big. for a long time tonight it's kicking off. the semi-final of the first ever 12 team. playoff AJ is at the right four teams. and how do you feel about this. particular game kicking off the.

semi-finals cuz this is going to have a. style of football and tomorrow night's. going to have a style of football very. different I think personally AJ yeah I. mean I I think that the the right four. teams are here but that's that's such a. subjective thing whoever you ask will. have their own opinion on that I guess. but I don't know if you guys noticed. this a fast track tonight and tonight is. going to be an how you know you got. kicked off it earlier. did I want to get a feel for it though. like you could play with turf shoes out. here and be okay the grass is so nice so. I know this game is going to be a. physical pound them game old school. throwback type football but on this nice. little fast track look for this couple.

shots over top it's. going stronger tape Roman's got it no. problem at all Roman's got it he's an. absolute Beast hold it in that guy works. uh on the road like uh eight days a week. stop yeah just stage he just told me. he's supposed to be here today Texas. tomorrow and then wherever the Monday. night uh NFL playoff game is going to be. yeah put that on all season and then I. think college game day during uh. basketball as well he's doing the whole. thing and he'll uh he will mop this. stage right here in between every single.

set like uh for game e is absolute. weapon over there and I called him Matt. on my Instagram story CU I called him. rule actually because that's how I was. introduced toen his actual name is Rule. men and then I just kind of pieced. together I think Nebraska coach M and I. said shout out to Matt. Rolan and then all of a sudden it became. a full talking point obviously so now I. do call him Matt yeah have to at this. point niame but his name is Mike that is. that is certainly uh what is name is.

great he's a weapon I think I think he. uh he's going to need more tape I'm I'm. just Breezy a that thing is coming down. and I and I wouldn't be surprised if. that one comes down no I think the. breeze is coming this way it feels like. it is a uh so whenever what is it called. whenever it's the same on one side and. the. other synchronicity perpendicular. noic I'm not talking about being. parallel either I'm talking about I'm. talking about things symmetrical. symmetrical there it is symmetrical is. the right answer shout out I don't know.

if is that arithmetic no that is uh. that's math that's some sort of math I. don't think geometry maybe there it is. the geometry is the plus. minus but since it is symmetrical uh. normally whatever it's doing up top it's. doing the up so on the bottom you know. so then whenever there's something. that's kind of yeah so if it's if it's. going this way it's going this way if. it's going this way it's going this way. you see if it's AAL then whenever. something is opened up on one side. that's whenever you start getting the. this place is swir a swirlers this is. beautiful do you guys like newad did you.

like playing on newad cuz I know. sometimes it can get a little a little. slippy I don't know if the sod father. who or the sod son who messed up the. Super Bowl a couple years back did this. or not but I mean it looks nice it does. look great I'm not a fan of like brand. new side just because I feel like you. always get those lines and those little. grooves in between you want to be a. smooth the. seams I was checking I was trying cuz. they were explaining to me as I was. walking on one of the security guards. over here who kicked AJ off the field. immediately as soon as AJ got here he. just uh he went right to the thing and.

even did like a little cut thing and. he's wearing these boots and he won't. lift them up because we'll ask him to do. it but they got little tiny studs on. them they're kind of like Nike Air Force. One high top boots that he's wearing. always wears them literally every color. whatever and he went up there and he. checked it a little bit and that's why. his first takeaway was fast track here. AJ put the helmet back on for a second. God damn I can [ __ ] I can [ __ ] fly. around down here tonight DB but you said. you would like a little bit broken in. maybe like like a shoe or like a uh a. ball or something maybe a little bit. more give a little bit more take and you.

know what's there exactly but hey these. guys are Pros I'm sure they've done a. great job you saying they're student. human F ath not yeah the grounds crew. the grounds crew come on oh yeah we we. saw them Ste St Ross not running a. Mickey Mouse organization here no. offense are you sure but uh on that. let's talk about Miami come on now yeah. ice skate weather down. here you like Laing them up I want to. talk about you being back home here mhm. first of all pump that you travel with. to be here yeah it was good like coming.

back down to Miami too mhm I I thought. it was going to be much warmer yes no. doubt I really did you wear a tank top. you got the Miami yeah I didn't even. pack anything else cuz we got to go here. to Dallas we got one bag we got to fit a. couple sport coats in there cuz we're. trying to be a professional college game. days on obviously in there so last then. no other options this as bad as it gets. this is bad like it would be hilar if. you guys are from cold weather places if. you can see how we send our kids to. school when it's when it's just cold. outside the jackets and the North Face.

and the gloves we saw the security he. had gloves on coming in here so this is. as bad as it gets you saw yesterday it. was announced I believe uh the Panthers. and the Rangers have the Winter Classic. because you know it gets a little chilly. down here now it is hockey town down. here we are the still the Champs right s. cup champ yeah W you all know that so. it's as bad as it gets though it's still. beautiful okay it is beautiful it's much. nicer than what we came from but this is. winter storm what what's her what's her. huh cor and she is a devilish [ __ ] well. she is isn't she she's so cold yeah. she's so cold yes what is her problem I.

don't know you know I thought we were. out of it we get 12 in of snow it's like. okay finally we're we're good oh my. phone this morning had guess what. Indianapolis you're getting four to five. more inches come Friday and this is all. over the Midwest Dallas yeah Dallas is. in comparison absolutely nothing but it. is cold in Miami it's also very cold in. Dallas they're getting a snowstorm uh. the night before the Cotton Bowl down. there and I I think everybody. immediately thinks back to the superow. that took place down there between the.

Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay. Packers who won that Super Bowl oh uh. here we go Steelers here we go. Pittsburgh WS the Super Bowl lost no we. won 27-21 uh Aaron had a chance to drive. down at the end to win it uh he threw an. interception I believe uh and Steelers. won who intercepted it Ryan Clark Ike. Ike Ryan I think they both did actually. together they had the hands on four. hands oh that's why don't respect that's.

okay I get it now what I get it now I. get where it comes from oh did you win. that yeah I believe the Packers won that. one right how was that in Dallas. wherever there was a snowstorm. everywhere legitimately it shut it down. I've been to Texas uh two different. times in a snowstorm my buddy Anthony. scho got married there my junior year in. college he said oh it's always warm it. never snows and we got there boom. snowstorm for that his wedding and then. I came back for the Super Bowl and we. got there on Sunday the week before. Monday and there was you know they're. putting sand down on the the roads now. we heard they're brining the road road. so they should be good they did that up.

in Michigan I saw somebody sent me a. picture of one of these things bring and. it's like I I think we're at the point. hopefully where we're able to create. something to stop this stuff you would I. hope CH heat the roads I thought we. figured it out yeah I don't know if. we're ever going to be able to do that. let's talk about uh let's let's get back. to the story of Miami because I just saw. a Miami Legend kind of walk by here uh. there was a press conference that. happened when McDaniel GRE or where. something was said debut and is this. just becoming like a trend now I do. Wonder right if like there's a lot more.

openly criticizing of um like a culture. pretty much here's coach McDaniel. talking about what's going on here in. Miami I can find people um till they're. blew in the face I can take their money. I can yell at them um but until they. understand that part of uh the reason. that we're in the position um is. controllable and we have to with. absolute certainty and uh zero tolerance. for anything else we have to clean the.

controllables up um and we can have a. chance to have success together so C. certain specific uh individuals that um. you know I don't think it was across the. board there's a lot of guys that um you. know had uh certain fines before that. didn't have any um there were some. people that had um multiple that um you. know I think there's different ways to. to kind of counteract that bring it up. as a team and and continue fine guys.

wasn't wasn't enough um so I'm not going. to continue to just place all blame on. uh even some of the uh smallest of. individuals that with multiple offenders. um I'm adjust my process and and make. sure that um it's a it's team wide. knowledge um anytime that things are. done that um aren't in the best interest. of winning football game okay so he said. a lot there I think to anybody that you. know is a fan of the Dolphins or just. somebody that follows the NFL very. closely he's basically saying yeah I.

fine people but they just don't care. just pay the fine yeah these guys are. get make so much money the fine schedule. is nowhere near enough to actually. change how people are acting so joining. us now ladies and gentlemen is a man who. not a not only be able to speak about. this particular situation because I feel. like he is synonymous with this entire. city and certainly this football team. but not just this football team the. entire NFL and now College because of. his business acument being so damn. impressive billions. millions of dollars negotiated ladies.

and gentlemen Drew. Rosen great to be here sorry my hair is. messed up I had to jog yeah through. security to get here the Stadium's not. open yet so we pulled this off I I had. no idea if you're were going to be able. to if anybody was it would have been you. because of our experience getting in. here I mean us getting in here was damn. near impossible we were on the G1 track. okay we're going around turn four twice. turn four took a couple hot laps and. there's a barrier on the other side you. you go from turn four now you're going. into turn five now you see turn six and.

then bang shut you down do I want to go. through the walk bridge to get to the. other side where there might be a. barrier or do I not that we turn back. around that we couldn't get in that we. had to had find an entrance shout out to. the people here at Hard Rock stadium. making it happen because I don't think. they were expecting to have to let us in. they certainly did and thank you for. joining us I'm glad I still have hair. Pat in this job representing it's tough. man I've been doing this 36 years so we. just talked about you know you're. dealing with a lot of different. personalities and and the three of you. can relate you've been on teams and as.

an agent you absorb a lot of chaos and. help to try and create some order but it. is stressful yeah you're a solution. finder I think dealmakers are that in. business all the best business people. that I know are dealmakers dealmakers. are able to look at one side and say hey. is this worth it to you and then to this. person this is the only thing holding. this up can you make it happen. dealmakers are not everywhere deal. makers are a talent deal makers are very. slim to be at a very elite level you're. one of them so let's talk about a couple.

of the situations happening with the. dolphins and with your people you and. Tyreek Hill obviously y okay have a very. deep relationship you and the Miami. Dolphins have a very deep relationship. when McDaniel says that type of thing. after hearing all the rumors about what. was happening with Tyreek down here in. Miami whether he didn't feel appreciated. or he felt like his career was wasting. away or he was not as sick but he's. promoting a store all these rumors ever. hitting the internet about Tyreek then. him not playing then him saying I'm out. uh after the game where do we where. should we be viewing the entire.

situation at you think how should we be. viewing the entire situation down here. so let's back up to training camp Tyreek. scrimmaging with the Washington. commanders and he breaks his wrist we. have top RIS doctors saying to Tariq you. need to get this operated on you're. going to miss the season Tyreek says to. me and the Dolphins I'm not going to. miss the season I'm going to play I want. to be here for my team. the doctors all said it's going to be.

painful it could impact your entire. career if you don't get it done now you. may not be able to fix it all the way. Tyreek said hey the heck with it I'm a. team guy I'm going for it this hampered. him all year long he deserves a lot of. credit Tyreek is very. passionate anyone I've ever represented. that was great was passionate they. cared uh what you see with Tyreek is. very G genuine he wants to win it's not.

good enough for him not to make the. playoffs he is very passionate um I. think at the end of the day he's. committed to this Dolphin football team. uh he had an excellent meeting with. Chris Greer and Mike McDaniel uh I I. believe that Tyreek um is a great asset. to the Dolphins and and I think he's the. least guy that people should be worried. about for this organization they have. many more worries Tyreek Hill is not one. of them okay so that was Heat of the. Moment you think postgame Tyreek Hill.

understanding what the gravity of the. situation is with the team that he's on. which immediately led to people saying. when you took the big check to go to. Miami instead of staying in Kansas City. you kind of said that you didn't want to. win you wanted the biggest paycheck is. what people started saying but I don't. think that stops you from still wanting. to put up massive legendary numbers and. being historic and everything like that. especially with the twoed McDaniel. offense I assume that's how you feel so. In the Heat of the emotion when he feels. like he wasted a season he says that. answer after not wasn't the story yeah. he didn't want to do the interview.

initially he didn't want to talk to. anybody and then they're like no you. kind of have to almost and then he went. out there and and you think Chris Greer. and McDaniel are able to get over that. and teammates are able to get over that. particular moment so let's back up a. little bit Tyreek first two years with. the dolphins were were epic the best. back-to-back seasons in NFL history hung. 70 on Denver number one player top. player in League Tariq was the NFL. player of the year last year so I think. he made a very good decision to to the. Dolphins he was historical the last two.

years uh look two of Miss 6 and a half. games this year Tyreek playing with an. injured wrist he still was uh 40 yards. away from a th000 yards he was the. second alternate to the Pearl bow did a. lot of great things under the. circumstance eclipsed 11,000 yards I'm. proud of the toughness he shed up for. every game there are a lot of guys that. didn't play for this football team he. showed up throw out the comments after. the game game you're emotional the guys.

on the team know Tyreek is a competitor. he's there for them we represent 13 guys. on the team not one of them has to. complain about Tyreek okay debut still. so still wants to be a dolphin that's. the most important thing so um let me. just say this I I I've got to have that. conversation with Tyreek I'm not going. to speak for him got we'll discuss that. uh that's going to be really something. that we work out over I'm not going to. say he does he doesn't got that's a. discussion I'm I have to have with him. that I haven't had yet okay so future.

Pro I want to ask you about uh cuz now. you're representing college guys one of. the top pass rushers in the league or. coming into the League this year. hopefully we see him tonight we'll see. with Abdul Carter uh how do you balance. you know obviously you're you're in. charge of their business but guys. wanting to play wan to finish season. with the game you get to this point we. saw camard play a half then sit out a. half how do you balance that you know. giving them that best advice and. obviously letting them make their own. decision well th this is uh this is a. straightforward situation Abdul Carter.

is an nil client of ours we we hopefully. will represent him in the upcoming draft. but that that won't happen until he. College those are two completely. different exactly two different but from. an nil capacity that's smart from the. athlet standpoint I think absolutely nil. does not carry into the NFL so Abdul's. still going to have to make that. decision uh but we would obviously be. honored to represent him because I. believe he's going to be one of the. first picks of the draft but to your. question debut relative to tonight's.

game if this guy can play physically if. there's a chance he will do it I've been. an NFL agent for 36 years this is. absolutely one of the toughest human. beings I've ever been affiliated with. just watch this guy play he plays so. hard every snap if he can go he'll go. but he has a legitimate shoulder injury. and and Franklin came out and said hey. it's a game time decision it really is. you got has played a long time in the. NFL you know there are game time.

decisions where you got to go out there. you got to warm up you got to feel it. you don't know whether or not you can do. it that is going to be uh something. that'll happen in a couple hours that's. a potential game-changing workout before. the game obviously with Abdul Carter. he's and he can oh yeah and he can Big. 10 defensive player of the year he's. unbelievable special unbelievable AJ has. a question for you drew sure Drew how. different is it now with this and you. say you're representing these guys as. nil clients obviously you them to stick. around and you want to represent them in.

the league but how early are you. recruiting players now is it different. by state by state also coming out of. high school how does it all work now. compared to maybe eight years ago so. it's so different when when we you know. we recruited you guys um you know we. started recruiting guys out of college. you know their junior year their senior. year now we got to start with high. school guys okay Mason Graham is a great. football player that we signed this year. we started representing Mason as a. freshman at the University of Michigan. so good game record he's amazing but.

just nil it's just just nil we started. and when his season ended he hired us to. represent him for the draft so it's. year-to-year contract or until you. become a pro it it it really everybody. says these nil contracts are shite right. now is that do you agree with that or um. a if you're asking me they are year toe. okay so players right now are. professional football players in college. they get a new contract every year there. is free agency every year there is no. salary cap there are no rules there are.

the ability to transfer is almost. unlimited guys getting paid coming out. of high school I love it I'm for the. players yeah making money Mak money but. there has to be some sort of system. absolutely in any system we need. structure yes every other professional. league has rules we have a cap we have a. structure we have a draft order we have. waivers we have trade deadlines this. doesn't exist in college football so it. is very chaotic but to get back to your.

question a guy like Mason grah we. started recruiting him as a freshman and. we were fortunate to sign him when his. eligibility was up but it doesn't always. work out that way we've signed some guys. that we represented for nil and they. went another Direction with their agents. when they got to the draft you know. that's it's kill or be killed you know. we've got to earn our business every day. are you setting those up as a same type. of contracts you would do for. professional guys is that just kind of. your model like are you doing what bill. bich is doing at UNCC saying hey this. how it works in the NFL this how it work. with you or how do those kind of deals.

set up between you and the guy uh the. student human athlete up yeah we we are. on a year-to-year basis we are trying to. get contracts for our clients with their. colleges at the top of the market for. that we're using other players as. examples we're pushing hard so this rev. share thing coming on April 8th 2025 is. good news for you you think yes because. you've had to battle within a salary cap. and comps at positions cuz I think some. of these deals if we're listening to how.

you're talking about it and how some. people are chatting about it like one. running back will be making like let's. say $2.3 million and then a very good. running back is making a. $400,000 because they don't know that. that is potentially taking place now. there's going to be a market in comps. and everything right I love that I me so. you feel good about that because now you. get to Showcase that you're I can hey I. can get a little bit more than everybody. else right in that absolutely you know. it's huge that you guys played in the. NFL for long time we can go on the nflpa. website at any moment and know what.

every player is making when we negotiate. contracts it's predicated on comps. comparables right it would be very. valuable to have that for nil and also. let's have transparency yes let's know. what guys are getting paid what the. schools are working with I think. transparency is huge and sharing. information is a big deal yeah and also. having legitimate contracts too because. there's a lot no I'm not saying your. clients I'm with you but I'm saying. there's a lot of there's a lot of issues. sh yeah a lot of sh allegedly you know.

there's like a lost you for what 16. million or 10 million it was let's do it. the right way Pat let's have legit. contracts let's know what everybody's. making and let's work for the players. and the colleges and make it a good. system for everyone because college. football is at an alltime high right now. so it's just continue to save not save. it but uh curate it into what it can. possibly become which is an Unstoppable. wagon yeah college football is a very. untapped Market with a lot of football. fans if you look at the differences in. ratings one again what are those we. don't know we're benefiting from them.

now people are saying oh look the. ratings are up but like who knows how. those are even monitored at this stage. of Life congrats everybody that is. monitoring though we appreciate what. you're doing but NFL ratings what they. are and college ratings what they are. there is still a lot of people that love. football that have yet to really dive. into college ball for one reason or. another and with what it presents from. an environment an atmosphere a buzz a. chaos anything can happen any week. legitimately it's like college football. is just I I don't I know it's been huge. for a long time I'm not saying that is. not the case but I think it is in the.

middle of a massive like here we go and. the business side of it is going to have. to be tight so that [ __ ] can continue to. go absolutely you know when when you go. to college games and I go to a college. game every week I go to NFL games every. week I am blown away by the passion yes. going to your your Alam Mater I went to. the West Virginia Penn State game oh man. that you know the atmosphere at Ohio. State Yukon still speci I mean the. olders where I grew up who who are your.

colleges. guys all right I was amazing that. Stadium's incredible right they do the. way which there so much passion you go. to Wisconsin game at night Virginia Tech. College football is a beautiful thing. the fans the commitment the love the. purity of it uh the sheer emotion you. can't beat it let's keep taking care of. it let's love it let's do right by the. players the coaches the administrators. and keep that thing going for your. business literally depends upon it and. how long have you been an NFL agent now.

this will be my 37th draft damn wow so. you've been doing doing college football. stuff for 37 years you know that that's. kind of the that is the I go back to the. late 80s my first year as an agent was. 1988 so represent a lot of the great. hurricanes at the old orange bow I mean. it's just beautiful college football and. I want I want to help it as much as I. can okay who are some of the Young Guns. you respect Metta you respect them oh. yeah you know as far as other agents. absolutely you know this is such a. competitive business you know and and.

I'm a good competitor so I'm not going. to Hype up guys that I have to recruit. against respect respect mly are probably. doing the same thing but you're 37 years. in man like you are known as the guy. like rosenhouse is the guy you know like. that's that's cemented you should feel. very good hey congratulations thank you. man but you know what nothing nothing. is secure you got to fight hard every. day for your clients you got to produce. you got to get the best deals you got to. outwork the competition the pass means.

nothing in this yesterday means nothing. we got to battle every day to stay on. top that's what every player needs to. feel how every player on every team. should feel that way AJ as an agent I. have to be as competitive as my clients. fight for them every day these guys work. so hard the three of you know it to get. out on that field I owe it to them to. battle for these guys to get everything. I can yeah and you guys can feel my. passion in my yeah I think so I think so.

if you're another agent good luck you're. 37 in the middle of his prime con man. has a question for you Sean stellato. mixing meatballs not loving this from. you drew you got the juice it's awesome. uh with all that being said with college. we saw last year with the Packers like. you know Jeff Halley he went from. college to the pros and then we see this. year with belich going from you know the. pros taking a year off but then going to. college do you think more guys will make. that jump where because colleges run. more like a professional outfit and it's. heading that way with you know the. structure to everything that there will.

be more NFL coaches going down and vice. versa more guys from college going up. you know what I think it depends on the. individual okay so if you want to. succeed in college football you have to. be able to recruit mhm okay if if you. are a coach that's an ex as and O's guy. and really good colum plays and a good. teacher hey that that's awesome but if. you can't recruit you're not going to. succeed in college football as a head. coach in the NR you need money as well.

so you better go to a program that's got. Deep Pockets to pay guys I'm guessing a. guy like Jeff Hatley decided look Boston. College maybe we don't have the. collective that we need there maybe I'm. better served being a coordinator making. a couple million bucks and the X's and. O's is my strength I can't speak for him. a guy like belic he'll be successful. anywhere he goes the guy's a beast he. can make it at the NFL he can kill it in. high school he can kill it in college.

he's an alltime great he can basically. do what he wants look your your cohort. Nick Sabin he dominated college football. he is my coow but obviously he was not a. guy that loved this new system he has. said that so that I think had something. to do with him stepping aside and doing. media it's made for some people it's not. for others yeah and then you got like. Dan Lanning and the young crew that's. like the next generation of coaches. coming through and that are born in it. you know so they have to kind of Buy in. work the extra hour what are you what's. your screen time on a daily.

basis what 20. hours honestly how do you have the juice. what if you 37 years into this thing you. still got the juice this is this is why. I walk around with this this big backup. add here right I mean just non stop all. day every day all day man you know we we. have we're recruiting we're recruiting. we're pitching we're checking in on your. clients you're dealing with injuries. you're dealing with playing time you're. dealing with the playoffs right now. you're recruiting guys you're dealing. with nil you're helping guys deal with.

their Futures where are they going to be. families off the- field stuff you got to. be a rock for your clients and you got. 12 pro bowlers this year yes and I've. got four little kids so I mean how many. of us are dads here yeah yeah okay so. you guys can all appreciate that's. actually made me a better agent having. four kids has softing me as a human. being but made me even a better. businessman I have a even greater energy. and passion you asked me why I do it I.

have a one-year-old at home we live in. South Beach I have a three-year-old a. one-year-old a five five-year-old a. nine-year-old I got to dominate for. these guys right I got to pay the bills. down in South Beach you know expensive. absolutely yeah so I'm I'm serious my my. family motivates me I want to make them. proud I want my three-year-old son Conan. to grow up my one-year-old son con is a. great name I got to keep it going it is. so I named him after Conan the Barbarian. yeah that's what I'm saying conqueror. yeah I love I love everything to stick. around for these guys right you want. your kids to see you succeed and set a.

great example for them so that's a big. motivation where does my energy come. from the love of my clients the respect. and the admiration for what they've. overcome to get to this point the. commitment the passion uh the energy the. toughness their discipline their ability. if I've got the blessing the opportunity. to help these guys I got give my I want. to let you know this is awesome I want. to let you what you're doing right here. is awesome yeah cuz when a coach comes. on on the show and we ask him a question.

and they give just a coach answer every. single time it's like oh this is this. person's natural way of thinking so like. perfect job I feel like your natural way. of thinking is just like this guy or. these people are the best of all time at. all times like you're pitching with that. being said you rep van geny right I do. hey he's potential he's potential. Defensive Player of the Year. conversation I heard JJ Watt on your. show yesterday he's a unique player guys. he can Rush the quarterback he can cover. he can make interceptions he can hit.

he's sideline to sideline he is a viking. right if there was ever a viking this. dude with the long hair the way he plays. I I mean look it this van Ginko he tore. his Liz Frank in the last game of the. season last year people R him rode him. off the Vikings smart enough oh my God. he's ready for the first game and he's. put together great year we also. represent grenard on the other two on. the other side Aaron Jones the running. back the three guys they added him this. off season what additions for football.

Kevin oconnell is a dog too here's a. video actually of Kevin oconnell doing. some uh coaching in a locker room I. believe after a loss I mean from what. he's saying and how he's acting versus. how we maybe view like uh some other. coaches and how it operates listen to. Kevin okono here we're 0 and2 we've lost. by combine nine points and we've lost. the turnover battle 7 to. one when we talk talk about it's all. about the ball it's got to [ __ ] mean. something to you everything inside you.

that's just purely holding the. organization in your hands and not. caring enough we've got the leadership. in this room to fix it if we're going to. get this [ __ ] right and we're going to. start rolling like a freight train you. guys with me yes. sir I believe that was uh last season. and then obviously they come into this. season and just absolutely dominate you. have a great relationship with the. Vikings it appears I'll tell you a story. I'm I'm at the combine and you're great. city of Indianapolis beautiful. city and I meet with teams at the.

combine okay of course you're talking. about you know business with them yeah. you guys are tampering we get. it I won't deny that um the one one of. the head coaches who sits in on the. meeting for the Vikings Kevin oconnell. MH and I'm I'm not going to put him in a. bad spot but he blew me away the guy is. more than a coach he's uh in in the way. that bichi understands Personnel on top. of coaching and how everything comes.

together with signing players and. getting new guys in the salary cap. okell's special he's going to be one of. the greats guys he he is really. impressive at that combine we also got. to see him uh and he came up to me and. we got a chance to chat before he went. live with Rich Eisen I think I was in. there uh we had madm Kyper walking. around and Kevin oconnell walks in and. he dabs me up or whatever we have a. conversation and then he says uh what's. the story with grigson cuz they had. grion in their building you know and he. said what's the story and I basically. you know laid out my feelings on it all.

and he goes you you should talk to him. and I was like uh yeah I'm not going out. of my way to do that like that is not. how this is going to go and then I. walked down later and then grigson's. there and we have a brief conversation. like four to five minutes we a I think. we aired our grievances I think it was a. very very good from my perspective a. good conversation for us to have and I. think a guy that had learned from how he. operated the first time he was a general.

manager had a lot of success I think I. think the vision that he would want to. have for his team and what he wanted to. have for our team is one that would be. very very successful I think the way he. went about doing it was not just was not. good like you you have to be able to. deal with people like whenever you're in. that particular position and I think it. wasn't his strength at that time but. after talking to him and him even having. that conversation with me I think and. then hearing people around him feels. like he has learned from just like we. talk about these head coaches who get a. second opportunity at it it's like.

whenever you get an opportunity and. you're too young maybe and we're going. to talk to Michael Lombardi in the next. uh hour I think he'll probably have. something to say about this but when you. get an opportunity and you're young you. have this Vision on how it's going to go. and then whenever it just all crashes. out from underneath you just absolutely. underneath you and then you have to like. rebuild yourself back up there's. probably a way to go about doing things. differently and in my eyes I think with. the style of team that he would want if. he was able to get those things proper. which are definitely fixable I think be. a great GM how many a stud how many GMS. do you represent and do you I don't.

represent coaches or players or GMS cuz. it's a I represent players but not. coaches Executives because it can be a. conflict of interest um you know for. example one one of our great clients. over the years was Dan Morgan and we. have to now negotiate with Dan as the GM. of the Panthers I'd like Ryan grion I. dealt with Ryan grigson when he was with. the Colts we got deals done for guys. like T Y Hilton at the time which was. his first extension I've seen him work. with the Vikings as assistant GM working. with quazy the general manager uh the.

Vikings brought in Aaron Jones Andrew. van GLE Jonathan grenard they extended. our guy Josh matelis they extended. Christian. derasa um they brought back Dalton. Risner uh Ryner we we love we like. dealing with the Vikings and a reason. for that is coach Flores coach Flores is. a stud if someone can get gron and. Flores as a packing I think that's being. pitched right now is it you're going to. win that's being talked about I don't. know about it being but I think that's. being talked about and they both are. coming off of first time not going and.

how he wanted to what did we learn tough. too both of hard is I got I got a. question for you on that note you. obviously been in the game since you. said the late 80s and I know from the. outside looking in it may just be more. cameras more microphones more people. talking about it but from your. perspective do you feel like the players. are as like accountable or as tough or. as as they've always been cuz I see I. feel even with the might McDaniel's. pressure what's been kind of coming out. of the locker rooms of Indianapolis IN.

some of the years and some of the things. being late being you know things that. weren't really accepted um how are the. players now in this generation compared. to generations of the past I I I don't. think a lot has changed in that capacity. okay I still believe the great players. the good players the successful players. work at it play through injuries bust. their taals in the off season have. leadership are part of a family I don't. think that's changed if you want to make.

it in this league it takes more than. Talent yeah yeah but that's what you're. saying you're saying the successful. people we're saying does it feel like. there's more people that aren't setting. themselves up for Success because of. their kind of guys you don't represent. yeah not your guys not your never your. guys I know I know what you guys are. asking I don't see it man to get to this. level period you've got to be a bad can. I say badass no okay jeez um you you got. to be tough you got to really want it is. that the farest farthest You'll Go pass.

I'll go I I can go further than that no. but I didn't know how you operate like. are you a when you're doing business do. we drop a oh I I I keep my poise when I. deal with players and coaches and. Executives because you got to contain. your temper yeah the best business. people do that I'm terrible at it I I. really don't one person says something I. don't lose my temper man I get. confrontational one person says. something dumb I'm done with it. it's not good it's not a good thing but. it is uh it is a different style I mean.

obviously there are guys that make a ton. of money there are different individuals. that um you know maybe are not as. dedicated as others but overall I have. the same admiration collectively for the. players that I did in the late 80s that. I do today okay Ty has a question for. you drew when it comes to the draft a. couple years ago when Jaylen Carter was. the consensus number one pick and then. you know there was some of the off the-. field stuff that made him fall you came. on our show he wasn't taking any visits. after 10 because you said like hey. there's no need to do this he's not.

going past 10 when it gets to like this. point of the offseason and you have. these clients when are you starting to. get like an accurate consensus on where. guys are going and because you've been. doing this for 36 years going into your. 37th how much [ __ ] do you still have. to sift through when it comes to your. clients and where they might go in the. draft so so about Jaylen Carter uh. obviously look look at him he made the. Pro Bowl he made the NFL PA All Pro team. in years and look after two years this.

guy could be the best defensive tackle. on football so proud of him and. congratulations a motor. too play more snaps this year than any. other defensive lineman I think he and. Zack Allen unbelievable unbelievable. pick by the by the Eagles and Hoy. Roseman and Nick serani deserve credit. backing up to your question um the the. draft is all about. dependability you can watch the tape and. see how these guys play any good.

evaluator can do that the key to getting. it right is being able to draft players. that you can trust that are going to. play through an injury that are going to. be coachable that are going to learn. that are going to fight through. adversity that are not going to get in. trouble off the field that are going to. be accountable that is very important. that's what teams are doing right now. they're trying to do their homework what. you do on the field is huge just is. important is your character your work. ethic your dependability and your.

commitment you got to love football. you've got to want to win it's got to be. about team and the clubs are trying to. find these guys yeah this started with. you talking about Tyreek Hill's wrist. having an injury since the commander. game and him playing through it and then. having you know a little bit of an. emotional uh meeting with the Press. after the last loss and that and. everything and then you just talked. about playing through pain and showing. who you are is a big deal the Abdul. Carter story tonight is a big one and. everybody's thinking that like well he's.

not going to play cuz there's a chance. not nobody has talked to him just. speculating on situation here's a chance. maybe you don't play because there's a. business decision and then the person. who's not necessarily repping him for. the M NFL but certainly repping him now. says playing through injury is a uh. that's a positive whenever NFL. evaluators are looking at it not a. negative where a lot of people view it. that way though you know a lot of people. think if they put bad tape out there. there's nobody's going to care but if. you're playing through injury I think. personally if I was a GM or a team. Builder I'd be like give me the dog give.

me the guy that is willing to fight do. you tell your clients that because I. think there is a narrative potentially. that agents tell their players the. complete opposite Jaylen Carter we. brought him up the guy was one of the. top picks he played all the way. through to the championship game no opt. out helped the bull helped the Bulldogs. win two championships a guy like Abdul. we I would never insult him by talking. about a business decision this guy is a. warrior he loves his coaches and his.

team he would fight to win the. championship no matter how much was at. risk yeah I was at the last game when he. hurt his shoulder this guy went back out. there tried to play he was he had one. arm if he can play tonight he will there. is no discussion about don't put out bad. tape no thought about a risk of injury. he's going to give it his all for Penn. State his teammates deserve ve that. that's who he is that's how he was. raised by his parents and that's the.

type of guy that makes him great that's. awesome hey Drew from beginning to end. here you were uh agenting your ass off. and uh that's why you are who you are. brother 37 years in the NFL billions and. billions and billions of dollars. negotiated for your clients and probably. hundreds of millions negotiated for. yourself if not even more you're the. absolute man ladies and gentlemen Drew. Rosen. house thank you drew thanks uh no. problem dude are you hey great work.

we're still live still on we're still. Pro this is want to hang out tonight let. me know. okay all you guys sounds good sounds. good I know where to go you can make. your way out uh we have a stair I don't. know which way I'll jump off like you he. a dog a dog he was jet skiing earlier oh. Landing there we go I should have done. it. kid have fun stay off the grass be. careful now rosenhouse can walk right to. the middle of that field if he want got.

a heads up from the Miami Dolphins uh. it's the only stadium that actually. grows their own grass oh really really. yeah they grow their own grass it's. these greens Keepers and groundskeepers. here that are mixing up the soil and the. the seeding and the the watering and the. sunning and the you know the covering. and the non- covering and how about the. 40° hitting this grass I wonder if. that's a little bit of a worry for the. grounds Keepers I don't think so they. are absolute Pros zto just said he sent. over more information that was sent to. us um Steven Ross bought a bunch of land.

about 80 Mi North and created the south. Florida sod farm we control the whole. process the growing the trucking it down. and then installing it at stadium and. the Dolphins practice fields across the. street we changed the field 8 to 10. times a year he did this because we had. so many vents all year long so it allows. us to quality control the whole process. and not depend on other people providing. enough sod for the amount of Vents and. things we got going on down here. okay g1's coming down and we're bringing. $350 million to the city yeah probably.

50 to $60 million in Steven Ross's. pocket we drove that course earlier it's. a nice course is great Rio was starting. to hit the Apex of those turns about. turn seven Lando yeah and he was in a. really interesting bus uh or van like. it's one of those. vans huh it's like when you see it and. you're driving you're like oh something. illegal is going on in there and it's. not good yeah or like a church yeah. or a big cult maybe a big National it. feels an old home what's that when you.

take the old home uh people on a field. trip or something oh yeah and I guess. you could even say pris going down you. know down the street to maybe clean up. the side or whatever always give them a. nice little you know just uh hey boys. good to see out bot you know I iume miss. thank you for your service well or not. well and we don't if they're out there. doing the thing they cleaning up we. assume that you know that's not. volunteer yeah yeah they got somebody. watching too all the time I've seen.

enough movies those guys are always. getting away they're killing the guy who. drove them down there they're busting. their shackles and then they're getting. out of time uh speaking of getting out. of time. um is Jaylen Herz and the Philadelphia. Eagles GNA go this weekend all signs say. yes all signs say Jaylen Herz is back. out of concussion protocol he had a. light practice yesterday Den he boy I. saw him going over some bags I saw he. had a helmet on which I think is a big. deal saw he had the pads on saw he was. throwing I think this is all systems go.

for a Jaylen Herz return unless he woke. up this morning and say whoa whoa whoa. whoa whoa that's kind of the I think the. extent of it if we're reading right. which could happen you know injuries are. obviously situational concussions are. definitely a situational uh injury and. people have suspected that he had some. earlier this season I think this is the. first and only documented one on the. books but I think sa pal he always got. you know he's got he's got the beat yeah. he's got the beat of Philly uh he said. he's he's trending in the right. direction I believe he's in between four.

and five you got to get the five tops he. clear protocol so um they need him he's. going to be a big he's a huge part of. the team obviously he's a starting. quarterback making a ton of money but in. the Run game in the pass game he's a. huge Factor so right now he's in uh. stage or phase four there as you see. player continues cardiovascular strength. and balance training is he on one of. those boards that they got charger was. that thing stick balance stick step. stick boy say thing it had like a uh a a. solid plastic thick plastic on top and.

then it had like this little foam kind. of like if you take the stick off of a. broom head yes yeah and then you put. that on like sand and then it's able to. stand and then you they stand on one. foot on these things and like bend over. and like grab pick up popcorn kernels. and bottle caps they have to stack three. bottle caps on each other so they're. doing this balance exercise it measures. how like their movement I guess somehow. no they just have to be able to it's. like a workout it's like Pilates and. yoga basically put together they're. staying on it's one of their exercises.

like a like a bosu ball with a oh this. is not part of the protocol this is part. of the Chargers workout Chargers okay. gotta that's well when I saw balance. when I was doing a balance thing I just. how does it work for quarterbacks. because usually don't you if you're a. position player and you're going through. the protocol you're going to you're. going to pop some pads before you go. back out there for the game but a. quarterback he's not doing that is he so. his first Contact will be the first time. he gets hit in the game yeah they would. never let him hit. no never especially not he's going to. bang his head off the wall a few times. how it goes train something cuz like.

Abdul Carter tonight for instance he's. got a shoulder he's going to get a few. shots in so he's there's going to be a. bag there's going to be some guys like. we're doing tackling drills in this. entire thing you're going to be able to. see but he's going to be in full pads. earlier than everybody else cuz he's. going to have to test and see if he can. go for Jaylen how do they yeah Howe. might just Bop him a couple times maybe. he puts a helmet on yeah or. actually Reuben sure yeah Reuben He's a. Philly guy throws the ball at him maybe. throws the ball at him cuz we know he. throws 100 mph fast we don't know how he. is with a football we've only seen him.

with a baseball I assume he's throwing. dimes on the beach but if he goes in. full pads maybe even druski as well like. they were I think and then they just run. into jayen maybe not professional. football players but close I don't know. I think you maybe line him up and have. him do the tush push 50 to 60 times. today just to see if he can go make sure. you know offensive Line's going to be so. happy to do that's a Packer fan talk. yeah that's what I'm saying too now if. Jaylen plays I think obviously Eagles. fans are much more comfortable with the. entire situation no fense Tanner mcke or. Kenny picket okay that is no no.

disrespect uh meant but Jaylen Herz in. that offense is obviously what we expect. out of the Eagles to perform at the. level in which we think the Eagles are. able to play now the Eagles have been. winning games this year and the John's. are are not happy John's area was still. not happy with how it was going serani. obviously put himself in some situations. for a lot of people to throw darts at. him they're still sitting in a beautiful. spot with a home playoff game favored by. four and a half yeah four and a half. right now Ty Jaylen plays you guys are. scared or what no no not scared well I I. think I mean he's no matter what he's. not going to be 100% you know he hasn't.

played in what two weeks now and. obviously I think I mean he's got to. pass the protocol but going into the. game even if he was only at what 60%. like they're still starting him it's not. like like if he can go he's playing Over. Kenny picket and I think that's what all. Packers fans expected going in what's. that t nothing than just an orange. walked in oh that's Obie really. distracted do that say Obie I think I. saw a name tag OB OB OB the orange OB. the everybody knows OB the orange I the.

orange B has been around a long time. should do a little bit more research on. that before we do the simoc cast tonight. Orange Bowl has always been held in like. very high regard yes always feels like. it's one of the new year six rotating. yeah it won't be like this forever. quarterfinals New Year 6 bows on a Rota. basis this is the national championship. next year mhm I oh wow okay I believe. I'm not 100% sure but I I believe. believe that. was I don't know if that's real Cotton B.

was not in it last year I granted. they're only no that was Ohio state. Missouri you guys how do you feel about. Texas having a little bit of a home game. there uh and snowstorm for travel yeah I. guess it may be something but yeah we. know they know Ohio State fans travel. they're saying 50/50 here tonight 50/50. here which makes sense all what 70 how. much corporate what kind of corporate. setting is it you know a lot of these. games are on the corporate people so if. I was if my research was correct there's. about 30,000 I think that are. dealt out to AOS all you. others huh you heard that that's what.

it's called like 15 each team and then. 30,000 AOS oh you I I don't I don't know. if I not what I was told those three. letters were never said heyo no was. there's no AOS that's what we call the.

hello beautiful people and welcome back. to Hard Rock stadium in beautiful Miami. the host of the orange ball which is. happening. tonight football is why we're here and. obviously the first hour we had a chance. to chitchat with Drew rosenhouse and. cover all the hot topics of the news. world today I'm not alone obviously I am. very for fortunate to have a. conversation right now with these boys. and also share the field with them. tonight as we do a simal cast on ESPN 2.

of the Orange Bowl 9-year NFL vet who. looks super cool back in his home he's. actually a Broward Connie High School. Hall of Famer down here ladies and. gentem darus Jay ball yeah de glad to be. home glad to be home it is nice to be. home Big Time game here pen Notre Dame. are two massive fan bases uh historical. Brands battling it out with two teams. that uh have fan bases that are. desperate to get to a national. Championship are you kidding me Penn. State in a national championship Notre. Dame in a national championship that.

sounds out of a good old days movie and. now we're here tonight uh tonight I mean. dbot it's a big night down in Miami huge. night you talk about the good old days. it's been a while since these two teams. have been to a national championship. been on this type of big stage so huge. moment for both of these programs both. of these coaches and obviously all these. Dynamic players will'll get a chance to. watch tonight A lot of people are. bringing up James Franklin stats yep. well that's different I think they're a. different team right now I think he's a. different guy I think it's a different. School I've chitch about it a few times. on college game day but I haven't really.

hammered it home as much Penn State's. all in dude yeah mhm they are all in and. you know anytime we we talk about this. you see AQ get a little gleam in his eye. you know AQ gets a little J we are yeah. he does that entire thing they are. whenever everybody was chitchatting. about Ohio State at the beginning of the. Season having a $20 million contract or. whatever it was like uh we thought maybe. that was abnormal you know I think cuz. we're in a very new world I think I. think we thought that that was a little. bit different than maybe what was going. on at some other places and there was. like you know seven eight places it.

feels like I don't I don't know 100% the. numbers because there might be people. working in you know Shadows a little bit. that came up out of nowhere that were. spending a lot of money but I'm just. saying this year at the top there was. like seven teams that like were spending. more than most and Penn State is. certainly one of them Penn State is all. in they are desperate for a national. championship and it's not just football. you look around a lot of their teams I. think like you start doing this the. basketball team the volleyball team just. won another National Champion it's like. Penn State wrestling they dominate they.

don't even lose Penn State is their. athletic department is sick and not. being talked about I think in like the. uh Big 10 conversation and they're going. all in tmid well you have to because now. with orgon coming in too in Ohio State. and Michigan like if you want to compete. in the Big 10 you have to do that you. really can't like otherwise you're just. going to be you know I love them but. like a school like Iowa can't compete. financially and like they'll have a year. every once in a while where like they're. great exactly a bunch of guys going you. know to the NFL or whatever but it's.

going to be very difficult to compete. for Big 10 championships and national. championships when you don't have that. massive influx of money behind you like. those four programs at the top of the. Big 10 do isn't it crazy that you're. alumni is now a distinct Advantage. people always say that your network. after college is going to be something. that is a benefit to getting a. scholarship to a school you're going to. get obviously college educated you're. goingon to be able to do that but then. you're going to be able to network. amongst alums and everything like that. now your alumni is legit for shoot. brother like an actual advantage in some. places oh yeah you know out of they're.

out of the Shadows now you mention. Shadows alumni has always been an. advantage brother ask AJ what do you. mean handshakes he got you're talking. about Mr Ohio you're talking about M. what about down here I mean uh there was. a guy who I believe I think he's out of. jail I think he just got jail right huh. Shapiro you might be back baby yeah. legit if he got out maybe he's able to. generate another scheme to to uh make. enough money guy was phenomenal Hustler. I I think if he gets out of jail he'll.

figure out a way to make more money I. think that is something that Hustlers do. who knows if it'll be all the way back. to the yachts and THS two Hots in a cot. which is what his life became because he. was basically funding an entire. operation uh down here in Miami and and. they were just like open about it you. know it wasn't just like we're quietly. celebrating we're having a great time. but Miami certainly wasn't the only team. that was doing that no doubt and I think. as ran Gillis was saying Boston Conor. but now Notre Dame's no slot either. Notre Dame's got a lot of alumni with a. lot of money it's an institution behind.

it and I think that was the conversation. that we were trying to have there when I. started mentioning the Penn Stadium by. they we me it's like the four teams that. are left are very invested in their. football team Notre Dame certainly since. the beginning of time seemingly well. Notre Dam like got it right with Marcus. Freeman you know like they're a tough. bunch of dogs at Notre Damon I don't. know. if yeah I don't know if you're thinking. you know of that when you think of Notre. Dame especially you know you mentioned. and Shane Gillis that guy went awall you. know he he left his post so I don't know. if you're thinking of that immediately.

when you go to Notre Dame but now I feel. like you do like they play defense and. they run the Rock and Riley Leonard like. sure coming into the season everyone. kind of thought you know can this guy. throw the ball and who knows if that if. he can but they almost don't have to cuz. they're o line I mean they're breaking. down their huddles before the game their. chant it's one two [ __ ] that that's how. they break down their huddle as an. offensive line and that's kind of an. line you want God country Notre Dame. football and then [ __ ] on two yeah yes.

that's what he say it's awesome I've. watched it every single time it's come. out same guy same energy same delivery. same reaction from the rest of the boys. that offensive line is like that's. that's what we're talking about with AQ. yesterday exactly when it was like hey. uh what's more important pretty much is. it the dudes that are in there which are. obviously important have to have the. ability or is it the uh and it feels. like every time that guy breaks that. that offensive line huddle down it's. like I think this is a nasty group of. dogs right here I I think they are all.

in they are bought in with themselves. and in each other and then Riley Leonard. the guy behind. him this dude put the team on his back. last weit against Georgia front flip at. the end of this thing after already. winning it running everywhere only threw. for like 90 yards or something like that. I think was the stat but he made the. throws whenever he had to which we. talked about and that RPO thing where he. has to hit somebody in the scene he's. been able to do that and Pon Fon yeah he. gets the ball in space just like the. extension of the Run game he's he's got.

enough wiggle he can create Yak form too. I really wonder everybody talks about. their power in the Run game I think. Riley has showcased a much better. throwing than I expected I think in the. whole world almost Yeah in our source. say at ner Dame did tell us about the. offensive line great bunch of dudes you. know guys that you want to be around. guys that you want to hang out with they. like to have a good time and they're not. all about themselves of course has lyan. they're about theam for God they're. they're about God they're about their. country they're about their country and.

they about ning football boom and that's. it remember beginning of the year uh the. whole the whole theme the whole story. going into Texas A&M week one was that. those five guys had never played. together because you know they lost all. the they they had three seniors last. year who left so this was like an. offensive line at the beginning season. that had a bunch of questions and now. they have jailed and there are one of. the best running football teams in the. country fun to watch obviously that'll. kick off the college football playoff. semi sem finals tonight here at the. Orange Bowl tomorrow the Cotton Bowl as. Texas takes on the mighty Ohio State.

Buckey how the Buckey feel fans feel. good yeah everybody's healthy I feel. like everyone feels pretty good. optimistic how do fans feel how the. bucka how the Ohio ones brother feel I. think you know what I would imagine I. don't know for sure but I would imagine. there's a chunk of fans that the more. they win the more they you know might. tighten up a little bit because now. there's expectations it's all about. maning no no I'm saying fans I'm saying. fans players know when you can control. what is going on I think you guys could. relate if I if I'm playing in a game and.

I have some control over it sure you're. not really nervous or anything but when. you're people like us and you're. watching from the outside and you're a. fan you really want them to win I think. that's when they people start getting. nervous when they start think okay can. we continue to play at such a high level. and I think the answer is yes I mean. that was the question going into last. game against Oregon that I had and I. picked Oregon you know cuz they're. undefeated and sure their videos are. sweet yeah SC dogs too yeah mascot great. mascot and damn green and everything. like that yeah what I didn't take into. account for is you know which I normally.

only think about is the uh that guy in. between the years yeah that guy he's the. only thing to really think about when it. comes to the offense because if you can. handle him which you can't you can. probably take care of the offense. because he frees everything else up but. that lost to Michigan man Y and I think. coach Sabin might have said it. immediately upon it happening or maybe. he said it about Alabama having it. happen early like a loss can really be. the best thing that ever happens for a. team in their mission in which they're. trying to accomplish obviously need to. be Michigan but every team is trying to.

win national championship this team was. a national championship or bus team. going into the season that was the. conversation lost to Michigan made. everybody think they wasn't going to. wasn't the season's over we've lost. everything but inside that building it. feels like that we got to be inside of. which is very nice so nice so many. different flavors of Uncrustables oh man. so many different flavors I know boy. what a bunker mentality that was created. by those boys knowing that it's their. hey we still got everything in front of. of us what's Rock Bottom aost to. Michigan AR not our entire fan base but. a lot of our fans being like what the.

hell is going on this is all mismanaged. and it's like instead they play their. best football since then by far and. they're they're just they're Rog grading. people oh yeah I mean I mean it is a. methodical ass beating since that game. that we have watched out of the Ohio. State bu and also let's what is Ryan. day's record 60 something and six is it. six no 68 and 10 or 11 67 four of those. are AR Michigan you know there's the. Oregon one there's the Georgia national. champions who they took to the last.

second who won a national championship. by 70 points and and we tal we kind of. talked about it before the Tennessee. game if you're not wearing Maze and blue. on the opposite sideline Ohio state has. been dominant and they've proven it the. first two rounds of the playoffs yeah. and uh Texas is just like poor old us. huh I guess everybody's talking about. Ohio State under takers you know sending. me the hookham signs while he's on a. damn steel Pony making his debut on. Netflix raw it was lyc parks in front of. me horns up brother hook him and then. just pulls off he was not happy that I.

picked against Texas he not enjoyed the. yeah he's not a good person talk about a. ciss off dude we're just walking through. me and gumps gumps you back there I. don't know if Gumpy has a microphone or. and or a camera back there yes sir we. got a mic joh how about whenever we were. walking uh just through the backstage. there of the arena and the way WWE. arenas are there there's like little. pockets of things you know and they. could be filming things in between so. you kind of got to like stay in your. your pockets we turn a corner heading. over to catering and there's the dead. man jeez there's the dead turn the other.

way no he's wearing a big purple flannel. he's got this uh like doag on his hair's. out the back he's with his wife or. whatever and uh I go uh Mr take good to. see you and he goes why you do that to. Texas man pissed so mad so mad ey to eye. contact didn't even break why'd you do. at the Texas man I said what I said I go. and he goes yeah and then what he goes. don't do it he he goes don't do it don't. do it I go oh you talking about this and. he goes don't you do that and Michelle. Mc who's his wife was like he was pissed.

at you whenever you did like actually. fores shoot pissed off or whatever and. I'm like take out whenever want make you. mad you weren't wrong either both times. yeah yeah georg's been very good Georgia. loses to Notre Dame does that mean Notre. Dame's best team in the country well. they're not saying that everybody saying. Ohio state is the best team in the. country and then Texas with two losses. in the final four right now Quin ERS. makes his best play that he's ever made. in the history of his career basically. to win that game calls out a blitz. checks to something else makes an. audible throws an absolute dime Quinn. Yer shows up in the biggest moment.

whenever he had to and if you recall he. went to Ohio State straight out of high. school and what was that thing I saw. this morning yeah what was that you. would know no mean who's Ricky rart oh. reichart it's a big uh reichart's a big. uh car dealership in Columbus Ohio so I. believe uh Quinn must have had a you. know an nil deal I don't know if he got. cash or anything but maybe truck. remember trck remember he went to Ohio. State because he wasn't allowed to take. the money in the state of Texas that was. being offered at the time because of. their laws versus Ohio's laws so he went. to Ohio State literally just for.

millions of dollars that was like the. story sick mullet sick mullet the. highlights were absurd Quin your this. Texas bowler can spin it we loved him. immediately watching the highlights we. also love the fact that he was becoming. a millionaire out of high school and had. to go to another state to do it was. Ricky reart the guy that made. millionaire is that I don't know I mean. he got he definitely got uh gives cars. to the guys they do I see commercials. all the time current players with him. they were telling I saw the the post. that I saw and once again I apologize.

for not knowing who posted it you should. get credit for this because it was great. internet it was a picture of Quinn and. Ricky roard and said do it for Ricky. tonight and uh that is there tomorrow. night what Ohio State can do you know. Ricky was hoping qu to be a great Ohio. State Buckeye quarterback think about. how many quarterbacks were Buckeye. quarterbacks and then they weren mhm. then they go other places and have. massive success Fields uh Fields is at. Georgia goes up there burrow who else. um M McCord to Syracuse yes yeah this.

year set a new record in ACC and the. quarterback rooms are always just like. NFL guys will Howard NFL guy I mean what. we've been seeing as of late yeah. they're not even talking about him right. at all shador cam Ward uh Drew Aller of. Penn State's getting a little bit of a. rub saying hey if Drew Aller was to come. out now he might go back to Penn State. and he's making millions of dollars I. would assume he's starting quarterback. up there so he might stick around to you. know continue need to develop and maybe. take another payday from Penn State try. to finish with the boys depending upon. how this season ends up for Penn State.

but nobody's really bringing up will. Howard being a quarterback in the NFL at. all no and that was kind of the I mean. the offensive line in him going into the. playoff was kind of like hey this is why. Ohio State's not going to win because. will Howard has looked like absolute. shite you know leading or at least from. the Michigan game you know so that left. the sour taste in people's mouth but. having watched him the last two weeks. recency biased like I think everyone's. given all the credit to Jeremiah Smith. and rightfully so because he's probably. the best player in college football but. we saw a couple of those a couple of. these balls that Howard yeah like and.

Sunday throws for sure and you see the. little skip down the tunnel in the. second half Moxy lot of Moxy see him he. can run he's a big big boy bigger than I. than I expected you mentioned as of late. these big the biggest games of his uh. career up to this point the throws he's. been making in the offensive line there. been a lot of shuffling there with the. off uh Ohio State offensive line so for. him to be able to do that in the past. game obviously what they doing in the. Run game as well he's making big plays. Quinn Quinn was better make some plays.

early tonight tomorrow night they better. make plays early why you're saying Ohio. State's been coming out and just. smacking yeah we're talking about AJ. kind of mentioned you know being tight. maybe not as players because Ohio State. you they feel like we're the most. talented team if we come out here and we. play our brand of football nobody can. beat us Texas may be some doubt that. it's kind of crept in to that locker. room you just got taken to the wire at. Arizona State I know great great te. you're in the playoffs Big Time teams. but now you're going and you facing you. know this wagon right now that Ohio.

state is it may be some doubt creeping. in there but you know you make that play. Early in the game all right here we go. here we go boys that's tomorrow night. we'll be on the field for that tonight. we'll be yeah I can't wait for Jack. Sawyer and jtt to do their thing oh. Kevin bank that's a really good so much. talent on this these teams so much. talent on these teams everywhere that. tackle end match up you just mentioned. like Kelvin Banks as a Patriots fan. that's the tackle you want so like they. have legit dudes on the outside Connor I. think is their their right tackle he's. got that sweet little uh collar I I.

don't even know what that one's called. because it looks so absurd but NEC roll. I I don't think it whatever it is that. match Up's going to be sweet let alone. Jeremiah and the four Dudes covering him. Matt Miller and at NFL draft scout says. Ohio State vers Texas has 21 players. ranked in the top three. rounds 11 for Ohio State and then quick. math boys 10 for Texas lot uh and K I. mean that's not even count Caleb the the. two best players Caleb DS and Jeremiah. Smith because they're they're not even. yeah they're not even also Texas is two.

best players not two best players on. defense but uh Anthony Hill Jr and then. Simmons they are number one two in the. team in Sachs so uh they are a true. freshman and a true sophomore that's not. counting them either freshman of the. year and they're going to have to. re-recruit him after the season ends and. they'll be able to tonight we'll be here. at the Orange Bowl and Obie the orange. has stopped. by wow.

quality of it's dropped and then there. isn't as much and then the way the. service is so when they came in it was. like an immediate obvious like upgrade. and they have to make so much for 2,000. lbs of shrimp is what he said that's czy. I don't know how he doesn't know how. many meals he's got to make though that. feels like a number that he should have. known it's all about the poundage yeah. how do you measure it in bulk well cuz. you got a C every sweet has a certain. amount of people right so it's like this. Suite has 21 meals 21 people that have. to be fed iume but then now they they're.

doing every concession too like are they. doing all the fries and holy [ __ ] what. an operation I don't even know how you. do that then the security outside there. were so many people yeah so many people. I wonder how many people are working. just for this event toight I wonder if. people when they were sneaking into the. stadium during that soccer game went. through the kitchen the the finals of. cona yeah the Argentina vers United. States game no I think it was AR it AR. United States okay yeah everyone want to. see ptic Colombia yeah they weren't in.

it United States were in it mhm yeah it. was on AR W the whole thing remember. yeah cuz Messi was out there. representing our country ex PS he wrode. his ankle with a he bad bad sad did not. like that at all came back joining us. now ladies and gentlemen is a man who is. back on the program after becoming the. general manager of the North Carolina. Tar hero football team ladies and. gentlemen Michael Lombardi. it's so good to see you guys look it's. awesome we got we got great football.

college football it's awesome it is. awesome everything's awesome let's talk. about your life how's it been being a. College general manager I saw you at a. high school taking some photos with. Coach bellich I know you're trying to. kind of get a lay of the land down there. how's it been in these first couple. weeks it's been really good obviously. the reception here in the state of North. Carolina has been unbelievable this is. such a great state for high school. football got some incredibly gifted. players coming out in the 26 class so. we're trying to make sure we see all of. them and it it's been really wonderful I.

mean everybody here at the University of. North Carolina from the chancellor Lee. Roberts down to Bubba Cunningham the. athletic director everybody's been. supportive and they want football to be. great here and when you hire the. greatest coach of all time uh I think. you're heading in the right direction so. we're looking forward to it I I think. the biggest thing we have to do Pat here. at North Carolina is bring back all the. great players that have played here. whether it's Julius Peppers Lawrence. Taylor Jeff Saturday who you worked with.

I there's been so many algae Crumpler I. could name them Dre blly this school has. got great tradition and it's our job to. honor that tradition and to bring back. those alumni onto this field to show. that we belong in the conversation about. the top teams in college football okay. so you guys are loving it fully. committed down there because there were. some reports here now over the last. couple days a lot of assumption and. fodder if you will about Tom Brady who. is a part of the coaching hiring process. out there for the Las Vegas Raiders.

reaching out to coach bich and then. there was a potential alluding to. immediately about oh is Bill bich. getting tempted into coming back into. the NFL the way he structured his. contract with a $10 million bout or a $1. million buyout depending upon what it. was is certainly something that would. make it feasible for him to head to the. NFL if the opportunity was to arise Tom. Brady is in the conversation to hire. head coach he calls his old head coach. is he just talking to him about good old. days is he ask him if he wants to come. to the NFL what do you know about the. entirety and how do you feel about your. time at North Carolina thus far and how.

long and how committed are you guys down. there completely committed 1,00%. committed I know I for coach belich and. myself those conversations you know look. guys that do The Insider stuff for the. NFL they've got to put stories out there. that one was a complete falsehood coach. bellich when that story came out was. recruiting South Jersey you know and. today he was at Bergen Catholic one of. the teams we watch play at Ocean City. you know and he's gone to the Hun School. to recruit kids in Princeton I mean that.

story just had no legs I think what. often happens in rumoring and I know. this from doing it in the league is. people try to make a connection A to B. equals c well that's not always the case. yes Tom Brady is is being involved with. interviews yes Tom Brady is doing. research on head coaching candidates yes. Tom Brady is calling people up for. advice and counsel because that's why. he's so great at what he does cuz he's. listening for advice but don't assume. that that's because he's doing that he. wants Bill bich Bill bich committed.

North Carolina he committed it to me he. committed it to the university there's. been no conversation about anything and. we drive from the this office here is. this football field behind me to where. we're staying we commute each day. together and we both talk about how. messed up the NFL is and how thankful. we're in college football we're shaking. our heads Is that real yeah because we. yeah that's the real I mean this is the. best job we could have at the time of.

our lives and we're going to really. embrace it and we're going to work hard. to make North Carolina proud coach cuz. our I'm sorry Mr manager general manager. of North Carolina and Ted talker and. podcast host live show host uh multiple. times Super Bowl champion author email. daily newsletter entrepreneur you name. it a lot of people that are old school. in the college world are bailing to get. the NFL cuz they said his college is a. nightmare and you just said that you. guys are talking here very early in the. process obviously you're in the mea of.

recruiting and trying to put together. your your roster and try to figure out. and Implement your culture down there. but you're saying at this time of your. life this is perfect for you guys why do. you think that is why do you think Bill. and you are at the perfect time to be at. North Carolina because we've been in pro. football we've heard no from players. before we've known that players go for. money at certain places we know that. players get LED but the difference. between college football and pro. football is there's really only two. Avenues there's the draft and there's. free agency in college football it's.

unlimited we have high school we have. high school we have the portal the. portal reopens again and so for all the. it's it's like when you go to the. boardwalk at Ocean City and you're 14. years old and you see a pretty girl and. oh you can't get a pretty girl to talk. to you you go to the next pretty girl. there's somebody else coming down the. board and so there's always somebody. else coming down the boardwalk that. that's the best thing about it I've. heard no more than I've heard yes but I.

embrace no because I know there's. somebody else out there you know well. we're going to go to this school okay. great we'll just sign this receiver as. opposed to you I don't take it. personally I think to me that's what in. pro football you get lied to in high. school football recruiting with the. agents that are doing it now they lied. to you I'm used to being lied to it I'm. immune to it but I think to me there's. more chances to improve your Rost F here. than it was in pro football okay so. obviously anybody's a free agent at any. time we had Drew rosenhouse on earlier.

how often are you uh negotiating with. NFL agents that you've known from the. past and how big of a benefit is that. for you guys because I assume and I. think Bill maybe alluded to it or you. did or I I forget who somebody did. there's going to be agents that are. telling their clients like hey you. should probably go to Bill Bell you're. like a bill bellich type guy has that. been happening for you guys and how has. it absolutely yeah mean look let's face. it okay what what I've said on your show. many times is the college draft now has. become a senior draft and that's because.

of nil and so if you're a young man and. you're thinking about entering the draft. and you've graduated from your school. you're a grad transfer and now you're. deciding do I go in the draft or do I. stay well let's say you're a fourth. round pick in the draft fifth round pick. you can get more money in nil than you. can in the NFL draft so why not come. back for another year and improve your. stock and what's the best way to improve. your stock play for a pro coach learn. the Pro System understand a pro program. have Pro training have Pro nutrition. have Pro uh you know therapy and all the.

things that we're trying to do here at. North Carolina I think this is and I've. said this many times on your show that. the college draft when I first started. in 1984 and we had 16 17 rounds it was. all college seniors now you have a. chance to make money and stay in school. why not do it I I think it's a great. opportunity and we're going to benefit. from that because the agents know if you. if you want to play pro football North. Carolina is the place that's going to. teach you how to play there beautiful. place from all accounts I've never been. but I've heard it is a you're coming.

we're we're getting you're here we're. going to get you here there's no. question okay you got I can't wait to. come down and see the place ain't that. boy the Unis and the merch swag in I. mean it is car blue it's wonderful I I. hope you guys get it going I'm excited. to hear that you're excited about it and. I'm also pumped to hear that bill is. committed to the North Carolina Tar. Heels let's talk about the NFL a little. bit here has a question for you yeah. Mike uh good to see you first of all uh. we got super Wild Card Weekend coming up.

yeah we're still calling super. yeah we are so super Wild Card Weekend. come ever call you back no he knew I let. the voicemail on somebody's uh phone in. 2025 I left a voicemail on somebody's. office phone saying. hey enough yeah what it's called it's. called super wild called super Wild Card. Weekend cuz you know why it is super you. acknowledged it's super it's super. Wildcard Weekend the NFL said we just. the reason why we added to Super to the.

beginning Wild Card Weekend because we. added two more teams you see we made it. super it wasn't it was wild card now. it's super Wild Card well let's keep it. okay and then you can go to stupendous. Wild Card Weekend if you want to take it. to the next step in that team anyway so. I appreciate you bringing that up hell. yeah and speaking of super Wild Card. Weekend who should be on upset alert. this weekend. NFL well look I think the Eagles have a. challenge I know Green Bay losing Watson. is a problem but Green Bay has this. unique ability to score with Philly now. Philly can control the line of scrimmage.

and run the ball and and do what they. typically do which is keep the ball for. 36 minutes and run it remember there was. a period in the NFL that the Eagles were. gaining more yards on the ground then. through the air which is a rarity I mean. that's service Academy like qualities. that the Eagles had I think that's going. to be a challenge I mean look the north. we know is good I mean Minnesota lost. twice to Detroit they lost to the Rams. but we know they're a good team we know. Green Bay is a good team and they can. pull an upset and they can go on the. road Bill Walsh used to say this all the. time how do you quiet a crowd get first.

downs right how do you make the crowd. stop cheering get first downs. offensively is how you went on the road. that's why coach Walsh had a better road. record than he did home record in San. Francisco because of the West Coast. offense and his ability to get first. downs I think Green Bay has a chance. obviously the Rams have already beat. Minnesota hopefully they can play that. with all the devastation going out in in. Southern California right now but I I. look at that Green Bay game and say wow.

I don't know if I want to draw that one. right up there I think the Chargers are. playing better than the Texans currently. and then the other game and it was last. year with Russell Wilson the Broncos the. way they pushed around Buffalo the way. they ran the ball slowed the game down. made it very difficult on the Buffalo. Bills they beat him last year when. Buffalo was in that slump can they do it. again I don't think they can but I think. it'll be a hell of a game to watch. Broncos have been incredibly hot as of. late and hot teams towards the end of. the season are normally teams that will. do best into the playoffs but Chiefs get.

their asses beat in the last game of the. season then obviously the Philadelphia. Eagles situation with the benching it's. like Detroit Lions just continue to buzz. saw yep you know they keep going it just. makes me feel better whenever you're. playing great at the end of the year. going into the playoffs but what happens. on the field who knows sh same for the. Chargers we talked to Jim Harbaugh and. obviously they're favor there so it. wouldn't be up said although they're. playing in Houston and lombo the way. that Harbaugh like kind of shaped his. mindset around that week 18 game against.

the Raiders was that he was telling the. team that we're about we one more game. away from our maximum toughness like we. need to we need to get we need to. sharpen a little bit a little bit more. and that's why they that's how they were. attacking the last game against the. Raiders and it's like they just beat the. hell and then now it's like they're. completely rolling I like the teams that. are hot going in the playoffs and then. to your point about the Vikings Rams out. there in LA just like we you know said. in the first hour and we'd like to Echo. until it's all figured out which who.

knows when that'll ever be with how it. looks we are incredibly sorry and send. nothing but positive thoughts even. though I know it doesn't mean [ __ ] for a. lot of cases um to people in Los Angeles. it's crazy Brian McCarthy. who is potentially a part of the super. you know quity conversation dropping a. super Wild Card thing which we like. McCarthy McCarthy there McCarthy here. McCarthy everywhere we do like McCarthy. in this entire thing but he said if the. game was to be moved out of Los Angeles. because of either air quality index or.

if the fires were able to make their way. over to where Sofi is which I think is. very far from where it currently is but. these winds have been gusting at like a. 100 miles hour or something they'd be. playing in Phoenix y they be playing in. Phoenix Arizona so they do have. contingency plans in place obviously. that's not great for any party obviously. if that's happening things are still not. good in Los Angeles what none of us are. hoping for but the NFL is looking into. relocation if it has to happen and once. again nothing but positive thoughts and. prayers for everybody over there with an. insane catastrophe disaster taking uh.

place right in front of us AJ has a. question for you lombo lombo obviously. we have two great games uh you know. tonight and then tomorrow night in the. college uh ranks and then the NFL the. super Wild Card Weekend What have like. the the best teams done that you have. been around when these games matter. these elimination games to where yeah. you've done what you've done all season. but hey this is when it truly matters. one or two plays can can make up the. whole game like what are the best. coaches do to make their teams go out. there and play free and actually you. know get the best out of them I think we. you know we did a huge study when I was.

in New England these games are often. decided by who converts third and short. who can control third and short. everybody gets so focused on one element. but to control the football to keep the. ball and who wins the middle eight who's. able to control the ball at the end of. the first half and win the second half. those two areas really resonate. obviously we're going to hear from. everybody well turnovers matter but miss. field goals are turnover so you've got. to be very good look the Cincinnati. Bengals went to the Super Bowl they. played a bunch of backup offensive. linemen they weren't very good but their.

kicker mcferson that year was Dynamic. was Dynamic he was unbelievable you need. a hot kicker come playoff time you. really do because you can't pass up. points in these games you can't be so. Cavalier to think that oh we've got to. do this and you've got to control the. third down the third and shorts it's not. the third and five or sixes because. that's just goes part of it but you you. got to be able to convert the easier. Downs when you have to and it requires. being physical up front with your. offensive line look we just saw college.

football all the teams that had buys. lost right I think with Jim Harbaugh's. approach is the right one to be good at. football you got to practice football to. be great at football you got to practice. great and I think that's why he was. taking that last game of the year. seriously look remember Kansas City at. this time of the year last year no one. thought that they were going to win a. game I was told by a lot of people after. they lost to the Raiders on on Christmas. day they'll never win again and they got. their mojo back and I think the teams. that can do that this time of the year.

with a hot kicker are always deadly yeah. and Dicker to kicker obviously up for. All Pro nods and oh yeah Pro Bowl nods. and everything like that out there in. Los Angeles that building Lambo we. haven't got a chance to chat with you. since going out there whole building all. in whole building Next Level every. single person in the building even a. person making a damn pizza out of the. helmet pizza maker now no no one and we. mean no one Al Pizza is the Hut but that. guy was a very close second that guy was. a very close second he was like very.

proud of it too like he was very like. everybody in there uh it's a happy. Mission I believe is how Jim Harbaugh. phrased it and it's real and they got. guys in there go ahead he he he's great. at building culture look he is that's. what he does and and everybody his team. what you see with the Colts and as we're. in this NFL hiring season and if you're. an NFL owner what you want is your team. to adapt the personality of the head. coach I'm like I the orange amen like I. be the orange what was that all about.

you just brought the Colts out of. nowhere I mean we could have just. powered right through that we could have. just powered right through the Colt. situation coach yeah I mean same thing. look the Raiders are sitting there. looking for a coach again they could. have had Jim Harbaugh last year and to. me it's about understanding what fits. what you need and it's hard to find. great leaders it's hard to find guys. that do that right Jim Harbaugh is in. the Ring of Honor for the. Colts it's painful to think about well. he painful I I had thought about it till. right now it is I'm sorry Pat I.

apologize but that that see once in a. lifetime comes once in a lifetime and. you got to be able to recognize it yeah. because when Once in a-lifetime. opportunity to hire Jim Harbaugh last. year and they turned it down you only. get one shot don't miss your chance to. blow cuz opportunity comes once in a. lifetime yo you know that's Eminem MH. that's Marshall. Ms that's 100% accurate we stuck at okay. since we brought up the Colts I'll ask. you you've been around football a long.

time eight years nine going on nine. years now Chris Ballard's a good man. great man great you love Chris Ballard. Great Southern drill would like to let. everybody know we love Chris balard the. human but with what the culture has. seemingly become with a lot of people. speaking out and also happening down. here in Miami and it's not as deep into. a culture being built and cemented in. yeah as the Colts are but same things. are set out of this building and I think. it's going to come out of a lot of. different buildings about like the. accountability is pretty can you just. put the toothpaste back in to the tube.

especially when it's been cemented in. for almost a decade eight years is a. long guys are getting their second. contracts and playing through them as. Indianapolis Colts in this culture have. you ever seen it just flip around. because there is a chance no okay it. only flips it only flips around when you. flip the leadership because it's a. little bit like you can't all of a. sudden you can't become tougher when you. haven't been tough right like let's face. it Cincinnati you can fire Lou and hire. new defensive coaches but the problem in.

Cincinnati is Zack Taylor going to be. tough enough and Coach an offense that. helps the defensive coordinator they. throw the ball every play you become a. defensive coordinator in Cincinnati see. how you like it right it's a culture. thing and I think it's the same thing. you can't have guys I mean everybody. loves Mike McDaniel love always great. press conference wears his high up pants. up high he fun does but you got to be. you got to look accountability Bill. parcel says this all the time he told it. to me relentlessly if you don't like.

confrontation get your butt out of. coaching if you don't like confrontation. get out of coaching and so you got to. hold players accountable this whole. generation of oh everybody sings along. let's be nice let's go to Dairy Queen. after the game that win champ you take. me to an get an Oreo blizzard uh extra. extra extra Oreo you might you might. ponent ball a little further leave DQ. alone can't be every. day Nick sa on you have Nick on every.

week Nick will tell you that you can't. be you got to look leadership's about. pushing people when they go too slow and. if you don't have players that want. accountability then they don't belong on. your team and it's the job of Shane Sten. it's the job of Mike they're the head. coach they getting paid 8910 million a. year they're not getting paid that to. draw plays up they're getting paid that. to lead the team okay that's what got to. do you got to lead the team and. Leadership is about accountability okay. so I love everything you're saying and. the boys have more questions for you I'm. going to drift away from the NFL real.

quick because I heard the most. ridiculous head coach press conference. of all time I think coming out of UCLA. basketball Mick Cronin did you see this. clip yet I saw it let's run this uh for. the people that didn't this is a head. coach of a team but we we don't play. we're so we're we're soft so don't tell. me you want to win like just don't tell. tell me you want to win so don't just. don't tell me you want to win it it's. crazy you know and it's every day I'm. tired of it it's every day I have the.

most energy of all the of anybody at. practice every day I have I'm upset with. everybody in that locker room my. assistant coaches and my players I mean. I don't need to do anything else I. almost got 500 wins I'm only. 53 I mean it's a joke it's a joke but. yet I come in and I I and I have more. passion and energy. and and pride then everybody in that's. the problem so what what the truth of it. is Ben it's really hard to coach people.

that are. delusional the hungry dog gets the bone. we got guys that think they're way. better than they are they're nice kids. they're completely delusional about who. they are they're good boys we got some. good kids we got some nice kids I've. never heard that out of a a head coach. before and I think he's going to regret. what he said I think to me yeah. leaderships about standing in front of. people look those players just didn't. come to UCLA because they liked Westwood. or they like Santa Monica Boulevard they.

came there cuz he recruited them your. team's a reflection of who you recruit. and if you don't like who you recruit. you got to change that and that goes for. pro football like you can't stand in. front of the team and say you guys are. soft you guys it's all about the program. it's all about what we're asking you to. do you got to take accountability for it. leadership's about standing in front of. players when things go bad you stand. behind IND them when things go well and. so when you're talking about what he. talked about that's a great conversation. to have with the team in the locker room. behind closed doors it's not a.

conversation to have in America because. those players now he got called out you. don't do that now they count trust you. lose trust in that situation it's behind. closed doors look if you think your. team's not executing the way you want it. that falls on you remember this and I've. said this many times on your show you're. either coaching it or allowing it to. happen yeah that's like a old sage. basically uh the reality of the. situation um let's talk about calling.

out your team publicly and then how they. respond coach Mayo up in New England. gerro Mayo fired after one season and. now lombo we're learning all these. stories we're learning a lot of a lot of. a lot of stories are getting projected. out there and you don't have to throw. anybody under the bus or anything like. that okay I don't want you to do that we. know you and Bill are allies in this. entire thing in this situ is obviously. what it is but whenever all these. stories start coming out those stories. are coming out for a reason right people. are trying to be like hey this is why a. decision was made and how do you feel.

about the decision that was made in that. particular case or just in general one. year into a head coaching run I I think. it's a universal problem in the National. Football League what happened to Mayo is. these owners hand the keys to the store. and then they don't give them any. toolbox to help them work their craft I. mean Mayo wasn't ready to be a head. coach he wasn't it's not fair to him him. to judge him on what happened after a. year he wasn't prepared but the reality. of it is is there's no coach prepared to. be a head coach that it's a very tough.

job it's a Terrain there was an old. saying we had at the Raiders with Al. Davis dealing with him is the jungle. never dangerous if you know the trails. and so one thing about being a head. coach you don't know the trails you're. learning them and so you're asking these. coaches to do a job and you're giving. them no help and it's not let's hire a. search firm to help us that's crap. they're not helping you they're helping. you pick the guy they get paid and they. leave town this is about helping the. coach develop his leadership skills I've.

said this since I've written grid iron. genius I think the league has done a. disservice to a lot of minority. candidates not having a Leadership. Center we have one here at the. University of North Carolina that we're. going to integrate into all the things. we do with the daily coach we want to. create leaders and Leadership is. coaching and I think some of these young. coaches who are getting these head jobs. who are they're not prepared for them. they know the play they don't know. leadership and I think ultimately when. you look at what happened to Mayo when. you look at what happened to some of.

these other coaches in the league that's. ultimately where it falls short be being. a coach is really hard I I think that is. being a head coach is very very. difficult I I think that is what we. learn every single firing cycle and. every single hiring cycle we all have. hope normally a headline will win over a. fan base and then you kind of watch it. unfold and you're like damn this guy. wasn't the guy or this woman isn't the. woman which I think is uh projected to. be happening here in the next decade or. so potentially even in uh GM position in. next couple years I think there is a. potential opportunities popping up there.

but it's really hard I think it's really. really hard and finding a great leader. who can also handle itineraries and. Logistics and coaching and motivating. and emotions and have empathy while also. having an authoritarian inside of them. it's like that's not to you know those. don't just fall out trees you know that. isn't that isn't something that's. everywhere so if you stick with somebody. that doesn't got it you're an [ __ ]. and if you get rid of somebody too quick. and they have it you're an [ __ ] it is. hard to find a head coach which is why I. think some teams are choosing not to.

make any changes yeah I don't want don't. want to make any changes you know I. don't want to make any changes to has a. question for you Lomo yeah I kind of. have a question uh based off of that. pison um sorry excuse me there speaking. of the head coaches there are a lot of. head coach candidates out there that are. being interviewed right now and they and. they come from every background like you. have spag flues and Salah they come from. the DC and they used to be a head coach. Tre you got Ben Johnson who's an. offensive coordinator cliff and naggie. who were head coaches but also on the.

offensive side and you have a guy like. you know Vel or or Pete Carroll who are. are more of like culture guys who were. head coaches that that were out last. year is do you have a favorite or do you. have a favorite like Avenue uh of where. the coach comes from yeah I want. somebody who's a leader I want somebody. to stand in front of the man who once. who was willing to take on confrontation. however you do it you know Pete Carol's. way of taking on confrontation is. completely different than bill bellich. or Mike brael but I think you have to. have somebody who understands the job.

who's got a hunger to keep performing at. the job it's an exhausting job and you. don't want look the problem is when you. interview these guys if you're. interviewing Ben Johnson you've got to. ask Ben Johnson hey Ben when your. special teams aren't playing well how do. you fix it and you he can't come back to. you and say well I'm just going to rely. on my coach because now he voids of. leadership you got to have answers for. every problem that comes up and Mike Vel. certainly does Pete Carol certainly does. but some of these young coaches they got.

to learn that I mean it's one of the how. long have we been talking about the the. Indianapolis defense on your show on my. pod I did I mean I mean we and now we're. surprised happened now we're surp I mean. we've been saying it for three years but. somebody in the building has to say this. isn't working this isn't what we can do. now that's called disloyalty in the NFL. but to me doing it the other way is. devotion because you're telling people. what they want to hear loyalty is. telling the truth and I think that's.

part of what you want from a head coach. is you want somebody who can recognize. those. problems Lambo we appreciate you so much. brother it was great chatting with you. again good luck getting the recruits. good luck handling the roster we're get. in here you're the man we're going to. see you soon Pat we're going to get you. down we're going get the whole crew down. we need the whole crew down here okay. you got it you got it well Airbnb down. there we all our Jordans. yeah we'll play some go at that country. club we got the greatest if you think. there's a sneaker collection better than. ours I promise you we'll we'll.

much like the Bengal bingo I did Bingo. you started out a little slow but then. guess what you started doing got hot. seeing it you got in the playoffs you. started seeing it well look at this guy. I knew I was due I knew I was due just. took me about 10 weeks to get there you. guys only got six G well 14 weeks maybe. yeah it's a lot easier cuz we know all. the team so well we know exactly how. everybody's going to look look we know. that. the the Pittsburgh Steelers are not. going to let five straight no I mean not.

after what I've been seeing on the. internet I've been seeing some terrible. T I mean they are oh people are going. pause the music Nick please no way they. lose ladies and gentlemen if you think. the Pittsburgh Steelers aren't going to. cover N9 and a half after the whole. locker room watch this. video good set good. set here we go Steelers here we.

go here we go steers here that was good. why we cut it wait hold on why we cut it. off there's a full they go on they cut. it off they go on for five minutes. straight right there that's what you. don't see that's the unedited version. it's five straight minutes GP Nick was. actually going the opposite direction. inter didn't love that that was weird I. didn't know how he was doing it he said. was trying to do it to get it out of the. way of the uh the Rack or whatever how. do you feel your performance was pretty. good very passionate Allin oh yeah yeah. I had to work up work up with lather uh.

I don't know how much was on the bar cuz. I don't count plates I just put as many. as fit on the bar uh and then you go at. it and you support your boys with your. whole heart cuz you bleed black and gold. that's we do yeah you too and I hope the. locker room saw that because if they did. they'll know the passion that they need. to win Nick I don't know if you're near. a mic friend how do you think your. performance uh was was I I I assume I. have not checked the reaction a lot of. people were just as startled as we were. with the way you were spinning that. particular towel uh a handful of.

comments turns out not everyone is super. particular about how you spin the. Terrible Towel uh like I said I didn't. want to bang it off the uh pole there. the rack cuz then you just look like a. big dumb idiot if you're just banging it. against yeah true no. self yeah here's the unedited version. Nick just going it down and you just put. this on repeat for 4 minutes and they'll. just [ __ ] swing the [ __ ] out of it. right. boys I like the passion thank you. whenever you were asked to do this um I. know you guys were excited yeah thrilled. I know you thought maybe you know we can.

help help the boys get a big time super. Wildcard Weekend win over to Baltimore. Ravens they hated Baltimore Ravens first. in a. while hav't won a month forever a. playoff game in years they're due you. said thank you for the opportunity yeah. and I saw a little bit of a buzz from. you and Nick that I haven't seen a long. time a glimmer if you will there was. some real hope you want got your ik. Clark Jersey out looked like it was in. two balls maybe maybe two separate balls. the one Jersey was I don't know how that. happens but it looked like there was two.

different distinct wrinkle starters on. that particular tiey t-shirt yeah. exactly Ike Taylor and Brian Clark oh no. oh Ike Clark yeah ik Clark yeah no just. just the ike Jersey I did not have a 25. Jersey Oh I thought it was a split. jersey no no no would have been sweet. though um no you only pull out the ike. Jersey for special occasions and I did. have a bit of a glimmer a bit of a bit. of a jolt in my body because as AJ said. earlier you know you're nervous if you. can't contribute if you can't control. the outcome we helped we we helped to.

control the outcome in that situation so. now now I feel great yeah and I'll tell. you what whenever you guys performed the. way you did we were watching live from. around the corner we try to stay out of. the mirror. mhm I was really intrigued cuz you guys. didn't know where that was going how. they were going to use it nope you had. no idea cuz we had seen another video. where there was like seven Steelers. Legends and they were kind of like mixed. together I don't think Lyn swan has a. clue what the [ __ ] everybody's saying he. let's go steers here we go too busy out.

there making plays he had great footwork. no you guys were staying around cuz it. was Max day in the hawk house everyone. you know hit good Maxes a new person PR. day PR day yesterday in the hawk house. and you know got the text so hey boys. throw me my towel I already wearing the. Jersey oh he didn't prepare play. anything you said I need a s you got it. boys boys need it boys need it yeah and. you said you got it thank you for doing. that what maybe Roger Wood needs to. reach out and get you guys on the next. track I think he does well LIF.

500 with it Nick in t here we go yeah I. think Raj could do that he's. alive let's get to a break I hope so. rest in peace Raj rest in. peace song's been around the best but. you said this guy's song stunk I mean. it's stun I think he's because it was so. new you named current players you know. what's the song for the Dolphins they. don't have one Miami Dolphins Miami.

Dolphins Miami Dolphins number. one they do Miami Dolphins never won. number one don't you and the only can we. get this thing back onto and still the. only undefeated so B shout out rest in. peace teas in peace Mercury Morris the. only have some [ __ ]. respect you guys are too low you guys. are too low we can't there's a camera on. top here there's like three Dolphins. fans oh D they're right under under.

there right under there it's more. probably they're just working right. they're being professional right now. it's more Dolphins every Dolphins no. they're going they're going up they're. going up they're going up they're going. oh they're just stepping right over. stairs no respect this is what hey this. what DOL fans do here they go the answer. to call we got a little bummed out right. now yeah hey what's the song again Miami. Dolphin Miami Dolphin Miami Dolphin. number one all right that's not a bad. that's not a bad jingle I'll tell you.

what I haven't heard that in a while. that's not a bad jingle let's stop the. music we're not jingling any yeah hey. there's no more jingling boys there's no. more jingling boys somebody just got. their asses fired Tom Tesco the man that. was uh oh no personally responsible for. getting me into the NFL with his brain. thinking that I could be a guy that. could be a punter who pitched Bill Poon. on the idea uh and got Meed drafted to. the Indianapolis Colts a pick number 222. who would then go on and become the. Chargers GM and then he would become the. Raiders GM he is now nobody's GM fired.

by the Las Vegas Raiders now this is a. fascinating situation and you got to. wonder how much does Tom Brady have to. do with this Tom got in there started. peppering Tom Tesco and said I don't. like anything about this going move on. or is there a couple coaches that they. talked about or maybe tied to the hip. with the general manager and saying hey. it's time to hit a reset button here in. Vegas dbut First Response first thoughts. whenever you read this not shocked you. know with what happened with Antonio. Pierce you know usually it's a marriage. they come and go um so it's it's who's.

the lame carthon just got fired yeah. from Tennessee um but Callahan's still. there so they kept them but you you. don't see that much so not shocked. especially with the reports coming out. that Tom Brady's going to be very hands. on with the next hire and kind of the. next uh where where the vision for the. team is going forward so not not shocked. by Tom but I think Tom will land on his. feet Tom Tasco is a good man he's he's a. good man he was good to us but what that. Raiders team had become is just uh you. know I want to say laugh but not good.

never it was never talked about in like. a super postive sh Show yeah there we go. that I think that's a good a cluster a. [ __ ] show a all those things last year. whenever Antonio Pierce was the interim. and they had Good Vibes they're smoking. cigars in the locker room ra they're. doing the whole thing it's like here we. go here we go this year has just been. the complete opposite of that they. didn't have a quarterback so that's. potentially on Tom Tesco I guess is what. they're thinking in entirety of this but. that's definitely just a Raider. situation seemingly as a whole AJ Hawk. how do you feel about the Tom Tesco and. what do you think this means for the Las.

Vegas Raiders I mean Raiders obviously. cleaning house it does yeah unless the. GM is part of the head coaching search. it doesn't really happen too often I. believe was it was John or uh the. Seattle Seahawks they brought in John. Schneider to pair him up with with Pete. Carrol back in the day I believe Pete. kind of had a choice in that I believe I. I I I don't know I don't know about that. but like I I know you to have a good. pairing what is it called organizational. what they what's that word. organizational Synergy or whatever where. from the to alignment that is organiz. organizational alignment it's a big.

thing like there's a lot of coaches in. the NFL I don't want to say a lot maybe. a handful that don't have a chance of. Hell at winning because the front the. the owners the GM like the front office. if that's not right the head coach has. no chance and I think we're seeing that. and I think you get those two the GM and. head coach especially and owner they. have to they have to have the singular. vision of where the team is going. they're also in the AFC West so that's. going to be tough very for a long time. yep Chargers just got real good real. quick with the introduction of Jim. Harbaugh in the exit of Tesco yeah and.

Staley almost you know and I'm not. saying that that is exactly the case but. if Tom Tesco would have hired Jim. Harbaugh maybe a little different story. at the Chargers obviously couldn't do. that because he's with Michigan at the. time but it's like you got to have. success and if you don't you're going to. lose your job Broncos too what's that. same division you know it's like oh yeah. yeah they're in playoffs as got three. playoff teams in that division so you. know and the Chiefs and the Broncos are. only going to get better you know. they're going to get access to more. money as the seasons roll on here cuz.

they're still paying a Russell Wilson. tax said there's only one Tom in this. building get out you think that was yeah. two Toms can't have two Toms mean you go. by Thomas maybe and then Tom Tesco is. like never and name me Tom I'm not. actual Thomas my name isn't Thomas. aren't you actually Thomas maybe you go. with Thomas and Tom Brady was like I. [ __ ] own team yeah and Tom Tesco was. I'm general manager and Thomson notm or. maybe maybe Tesco Tom Brady walked into.

glo's office and he was doing myy Tha he. said we're not doing this this is not. good news I was just. reminded mitt's dad's name is Tom. McMahon oh no [ __ ] so many Toms over. there there could only be one ice yeah. but when it com confusing Tom McMahon I. think there's other names for him oh. yeah middle gentleman yeah so it's like. H you're fine you can stay let's get to. a break uh we'll be back on the other. side picking all the games and then. wrapping up here from the Orange Bowl we. can't thank you enough for joining us. it's a beautiful Thursday down here in.

[Applause]. [Music]. welcome back beautiful people to the. Hard Rock stadium in beautiful Miami.

Florida the orange bowls tonight it's. chillier than we expected our three. Starts Now football is magnificent and. they're moving the heated benches into. the stadium as we speak Penn State did. it first down Notre Dame is putting. their heated benches in here yes that is. the temperature that people are feeling. they're moving heated benches in to the. orange bow now I am incredibly proud of. these teams not only being ready for. this but also being prepared and in the. moment to have this because this is not.

something I'd be thinking of if you're. coming down to the Orange Bowl in Miami. there's a little briskness in the air. there is maybe a little bit of. exhaustion and. also there's a report now coming out of. on three which is obviously on it. whenever it comes to college ball the. ner Dame team might be battling a little. bit of a flu Oh no Penn State fans. obviously can see this and think to. themselves well who all has it Tyler haa. let us know who's battling well they're. saying it's mostly backups in special. teams players which is obviously goes. hand inand but certainly something to.

monitor if we know anything about the. flu cuz the flu that'll go from one. person to the next quickly need to keep. somebody isolated they got the flu. especially if it's on orange bow day. Darius Jay Butler 9-year NFL vet how do. you feel about a little bit of a bug. hitting an Notre Dame locker room that's. a little concerned we got a few hours. until kickoff like definitely concerning. they said backup special teams we know. how critical special teams can be in. backups you know you never know you're. always one play away so definitely. concerning uh what's going on in that.

locker room right now especially Notre. Dame special teams which has been very. very vital to their success thus far all. season but in the college football. playoffs for sure AJ Hawk have you ever. played a game with a flu and how do you. feel about how they monitor and manage. it until game time let's put those dudes. into a vacuum and keep them away from. everybody else is the mindset I would. assume yeah I I don't have any of you. guys ever at any level sat out of a game. for an illness or being sick no no it's. not a possibility I've had a team I i'. had a teammate that they were like super.

Los Matt Hass was a dead body he had uh. what do you get from bad eoli or chicken. I remember that E coli was in the. hospital the night before uh until like. 4:00 a.m. got to the stadium in Houston. and it looked like Kenny with a hoodie. over his head on the floor for bag of. bones on the ground didn't know who was. thought somebody from Houston maybe. snuck in was passed out hung over let's. tell an epic story we're going to break. into the Colts locker room kick the.

thing on the ground in the hoodie couple. times hoodies revealed who is it. starting quarterback for tonight Matt. Hasselbeck that's great uh didn't know. that was going to happen it was attic. and basement type situation as the. security people kind of roll through and. the setup committee continues here at. the Orange Bowl but he played yeah and. he had lost I think somewhere in like 14. 15. from everything that had been taking. place that was exiting out of his body I. guess it all depends the timing of it. getting it right now means the worst of. it hit coming right if it's happening. today couple bags of IVs definitely.

helps this temperature not being too hot. would also help as well I think can you. imagine being super duper sick playing. an 85 Dee humid game stink overheat uh. let's go back to the truck with our. Canadian internet splunker Gumpy Gumpy. what's that shot you get once a week or. whatever it is what's that thing you get. done NAD plus it's more of a anti-aging. but it would help in this situation too. okay so if everybody was getting NAD. plus dumped in their bodies in the. another Dame locker room would that help. kick the flu out of their body or what.

what do you think they'll probably do. that and then they'll have another bag. with uh the B12 and all the vitamins as. well you can double up on it when did we. start doing that we started doing that. down in carry North Carolina that was a. real life Cher you you know it's it's. obviously you have to deal with needles. going into your nvs and everything but. they have the capability nowadays with. modern science to really get you repl. whenever in the past you just had to. deal with it for a couple days there's. now an instant kind of re I wonder if. that helps with flu I do I mean he's he. are young young healthy man young. healthy lad so I I I expect special.

teams guys dogs too it's college. football playoff I mean we started with. 12 we're counting down to one Bingo like. where are we at right now we're at four. it's come on now boys you know nor. schools get a shot to shine exactly day. in Penn State Texas Ohio State new. schools get a shot. shine you're right is there now yeah the. line hasn't moved at all H so Sports. books aren't taking a flu serious okay. you think everybody's going to be. Michael Jordan it's big flu probably. trying to get money line has moved a.

bit it was minus 1118 Notre Dame earlier. I just checked his M minus 110 I don't. think they're hung over either these. days no way might be a little tired from. being up all night playing video games. yeah Bingo they're gaming devices if you. will yeah maybe too many energy drinks. bayy mccomus didn't make the trip this. time because we didn't have enough seats. actually on a plan it was nice to have. him around this would be something he. would know can you get sick from. drinking too many of those energy drinks. while you're gaming that was thing yeah. you die Gumpy house is a Celsius 6:15.

a.m. I don't know how he does it every. day with the NAD NAD plus SC those days. actually help too I had a real problem I. was drinking the diesel a little bit. heat those are the one things that. actually affect me in a negative way me. too those Celsius the oo juice at Monday. Night Raw was delicious yeah zo is. energy what was the white peach was the. one we had yeah white peach was. delicious it was very good it was it was. in a couple offices obviously got some. moose juice here is this for everybody. or who's this you can certainly has some. moose juice sweet there was a tropical.

punch there was a berry and then there. was a white peach the white peach can. was the coolest looking one so I grabbed. those did you get a directly from the. high. chief talking about high chief SOI yes I. do believe he was is that his name wow I. thought hulster said something else no. that was from the press conference I. think hulster was in a moment little. emotional. he was all Zed up out there that's going. to happen obviously the hulster said a. lot of think have you uh yeah have you. wrestled against hulster and a couple. nights ago I have but somebody just.

literally during the break I saw tag me. on another uh video with the hulkster uh. kind of two-on one in the ring Kofi. Kingston and Xavier Woods folks are what. just hitting a couple that's cuz of. press conference probably cuz faroo. faroo making appearance he I I didn't. see H just beating ass. just had a report about the Georgia. Bulldogs Carson Beck has hit the. transfer portal ESPN Source Beck. originally stated that he planned to. enter the NFL draft on three now first. reported that Beck's intentions have.

also gone to the transfer portal can you. do. both I oh. yeah yeah do whatever you want did he. get Tommy John on his elbow yes you know. let's definitely yes yes absolutely. calling up Pete right now good move he. probably got some information back graay. back maybe didn't luck it didn't love. where he was projected didn't say you. know what especially with the injury. that he got to his elbow maybe another. year to build plus another massive check. coming guys won a national championship. or two so been on a roster for a couple. so I mean he's going to get a massive.

check for oh yeah I I does he like. football I think he needs prove that I. think got if I was a team that was. thinking about paying Carson Beck to go. either in the NFL or in the transfer. portal I've seen too many photos that. shouldn't be leaked I don't like that. his privacy is getting exposed in this. thing and it might all be Ai and then he. should have it if that's the case all of. it might be fake but it's like there's a. real question on whether or not the guy. is like obsessed with football some of. the things he said you have to wonder. like okay is this he played good.

whenever he played good lost Brock. Bowers lost lad mckel that's going to do. a damage to anybody gunar Stockton I. guess is the guy going forward down. there in Georgia or somebody else that. they bring in to the Georgia Bulldogs. because obviously they didn't appreciate. an early exit uh but that ear Dame team. just beat the hell out of all of them. yep Carson back transfer portal he could. be your quarterback he'll be. coming to a town near you definitely how. much how much will he get he'll get two. three 5 mil like is that what's the. going rate I don't I don't know i' with. the salary cap thing too I have no idea. because I think there's a lot of April.

8th there's a chance that a lot of these. deals are going to not be null yeah yeah. so I think a lot of people know that so. they're saying hey all this is needs to. come before the April 8 so now there's. an even more Wild Wild West with a sense. of urgency about like hey these deals. now need to look like this joining us. ladies and gentlemen F whose tweet we. just read and also the authority on. college football ladies and gentlemen. Pete daml. Y how you doing Pete I'm right around. the corner in the uh bowels of this fine.

Stadium Pat well welcome to Stadium. we've been here since this morning it's. been honored to open this place up today. yeah happy Orange Bowl uh Thursday Pete. to you there's some news coming out of. the college football World on three. reported I believe that there's a. potential flu situation with Notre Dame. is that true I've been told the flu. which had been lingering around there. and impacted both in the last game Pat. is not going to have an impact on the. game tonight uh I got hard hard push. back from uh sources at Notre Dame when. I uh when I ran that by um you know I.

don't think we will see anyone of. significance miss this game tonight or. have an impact on the game at all okay. the sports books uh feel the same way as. you not much movement other than on. money line goes fromus 118 to minus 110. I believe even though Notre Dame remains. favored by one and then what we were. just talking about there Carson Beck who. initially stated that he was going to. the NFL now uh entering the transfer. portal are you allowed to do both how's. this work and what do you expect out the. Carson back decision well if you. remember cam Ward did this uh last year. Pat remember he he declared for the NFL.

draft and then did a u-turn and went to. Miami and uh my my quick brush on on. making some calls on this today is that. Miami would Loom as the favorite for. Carson Beck uh they right now don't have. an incumbent starter a quarterback Mario. Chris Ball has shown an affinity from. the success that cam ward has had to. have an established guy come in there. there obviously is going to be the the. lingering issue of Beck's elbow um which. would probably cause him to miss parter. spring he made have to adjust spring. around him so again that's not confirmed.

or done but I think um if you're. handicapping where he could go that. would certainly be one of the options uh. Texas Tech has been pushing hard for a. for a starting quarterback as well um so. I think that they could loom in in the. background here too uh but look car Beck. is going to be a they he's going to a. healthy Carson back would be a topof. market quarterback he's a Frontline. starter who did not obviously play great. this year but he has firstr talent. there's a lot of belief in him remember. the poll we did at Cal that morning uh.

had I think five of the 20 NFL Scouts. that I talked to thought Carson Beck was. the best quarterback in this draft on. October 5th I believe it was so there is. a there is a strong Talent base there. and there will be a there will be a. market for Carson back especially when. you funnel it through the fact that the. quarterback's needy places really need. now CU there won't be um you know there. just won't be a lot of high-end. quarterbacks left in the market we. talked to Lombardi earlier the general. manager of North Carolina he said the. draft is becoming a senior draft because.

of how much money you can make through. the nil and through the revenue sharing. that's coming in college so might keep. people in college longer at these. high-profile positions especially if. they're not projected to be top 10. anymore or something like that what is a. market for a quarterback like Carson. Beck how much money is that Millions. like what is the number you think they. in most. cases yeah I would say that just to give. people context that an average power. conference starter is in the 700,000 to. a million range at this point and your.

high high-end guys I've heard numbers. eclipsing 3 million this year in this. market we're we're at a and Tai's going. to get excited because I'm G use some. big words here we're at a odd Confluence. in the market Pat where the places that. had large nil stashes now basically. these guys can double dip you can un all. the nil money you had because you have. rev share money coming um you'd mention. the the date where that's supposed to be. formalized by judge Wilkins so right now. it's it's almost like the market is. flooded and and guys are getting.

overpaid and so I would think that you. know Carson Beck over $2 million would. just be my general estimate um would be. about the market where he has and it's. just exponentially bigger than it was a. year ago that's awesome I hope Carson. Beck gets his money good luck to him and. thank you so much Pete can't wait to. watch you tonight on college game day 6. p.m. Eastern live from the Orange. Bowl thanks Pat see you soon all right. see you Pete. Pete that's the authority so the flu is.

not a big deal no no couple guys pooped. couple guys puked that's all it's. playoff football to uh be nervous Pete's. point about the uh guys getting kind of. double dipping now I also can't remember. who I was listening to but there was a. lot of talk of these schools front. loading contracts and giving the guys a. bunch of money now kind of like NFL. teams do so that when the the um the or. the decision is made on April 8th or. whatever it is that that money's already. already been given to them so it it. won't go against their cap next year oh.

yeah yeah I've uh had a little bit of uh. you know an eye on the portal sure and. how these deals are going with all what. West Virginia is doing don't look now. thanks running backs coming to Ohio. State you guys made hey it's all right. yeah CJ good luck out there good luck. out there CJ D he'll be good he'll be a. good buckery the other one stay in the. morg yeah he'll be a good Bucky yeah. sticking around white sticking around. Nico moell coming you know sticking. around we got some transfer wide. receiver got some trans linebacker don't. know Nico's playing with the guy they're. bringing in agreed and there's also a. freshman that is on the team still that.

is a guy bringing the old ball Club back. yeah old DC's coaching again okay we're. bringing I mean it is uhhuh west is. going to win Neil Brown good guy great. guy good guy he was able to win six. games a year Bingo okay so so I I will. assume think about that that we will get. some wins in the Big 12 now there's some. tees that have come out of nowhere. certainly BYU holy. hell Arizona State what is that out of.

nowhere Iowa state is he going to be. there I don't know sounds like it's kind. of a done deal to the Bears so hate that. for everybody in I uh in Ames why is it. always it always his name he's an unbel. like he's a great coach he is a great. coach couple years ago they were talking. he almost got the they were talking. about him as a finalist for the Lions. job before Dan Campbell got it and. several years ago he was also like a. finalist for the Jets job so he's his. name has been up there but I think it's. one of those things like he is the best. coach that Iowa state has ever had so I. think he knows like he has that job.

forever he is s like it it doesn't. matter what he does they just he's. coming off their most successful season. ever so it's kind of one of those things. where do you want to go to a situation. where you're going to go to potentially. like a shitty NFL team and just flame. out in a couple years and I'm sure Iowa. state would take him back but like he's. he's the toast of the town and a so I. don't know why'd want to leave. interesting uh Big 12 West Virginia's. West Virginia's coming everybody needs. to know that I think a lot of teams are. also scared to pay people right now. because there is another transfer portal.

coming after spring balll so like you. pay somebody now they come in for spring. balll they hate it they're back in the. transer portal happened a bunch last. year and they haven't wasted a season. yet either cuz it's just spring balll so. like I think there is a lot of people. that are a little bit scared on when. they spend their money all right. speaking of money let's go and poor M. where mouth is let's pick the entire. spray shot here we go super Wild Car. week I cannot believe that they're. trying to take super out of bullsh so. dumb so dumb we got a super bow and we. got super Wild Car weekend they're. bookending the NFL postseason for a.

reason because the postseason super what. are they doing why are they doing it I. don't like it one bit AJ I heard you. like it that they're getting rid of the. super Wild Card Weekend I heard that you. love the fact that they're not going to. be doing any more stupid marketing for a. weekend that's already gigantic I heard. you wanted just to be wow Card Weekend. whose decision was this did we did we. ever nail down on who did this I assume. there was a room full of brilliant. people who had a 9-h hour meeting to. talk about it over three different days.

had to get approved by three different. svps I assume before it gets to somebody. who maybe can have some sort of might. not even make it to somebody that. actually makes good decision it might. just be this might have been a decision. that was made here and then right hour. sure why do they I don't like that they. said they are quietly moving away from. it if you're going to do it do it own it. just say no we're not doing it anymore. wild cart's no longer super [ __ ] deal. with it yeah you say I can at least I. can disagree but I respect but it is. super they said it's still super but not. named super so dumb you think it's do. right spectacular they'll change it back.

no they won't don't take spectacular. that's our draft show that's a good. point draft spectacular it's super wild. I mean they had a winner and don't do. suspendus last time somebody got. Sensational that works Sensational Wild. Card Weekend no it's super wild wild we. I'm just spit ideas but we it could be. Sensational divisional round. with sww the wow Wild Card yeah wow wild. card right we. could wow W Wild Card wickle wild yeah.

that's not bad that's not bad if they if. they're going to roll out something else. then maybe we'll. appreciate field once again remember. this turf was grown 80 miles north of. here Steven Ross said I don't want to be. dependent on other people saw we will. make our own Bermuda grass we will. change this 8 to 10 times a year and. this Berita grass is getting rolled over. so there isn't a lot of slick stuff. happening around they're fixing it right. now they're fixing it right now so I'll. take back everything I said early I. should have known better tell you what I. iron a t-shirt okay I enjoy doing that.

pretty good with the iron hit that steam. thing on it oh yeah that's what they're. doing in this field right now they're. iron in the field that's smart fast trap. it looks amazing looks like tur field. Turf and if they do it 8 10 times a year. they know what they're doing it's going. to be great it's the only thing they do. know how to do grow your own grass what. what do you mean don't know how to win. playoff games they know how to put. people in motion on offense they do yeah. and Confused quarterback that looks cool. which. quarterback whoever's playing that day. not super Tua I don't know from from.

what we heard from Tua sounds like it. was a little bit much I heard he hurt. his hip because he was sending too many. people motion too much has been talked. about maybe Gumpy should mention it. every want so let's pick every game on. super Wildcard Weekend first one. Chargers traveling to take on the. Houston Texans the AFC South champ iions. take on Wildcard Los Angeles Chargers uh. Chargers favored by three have certainly. played great football as of late the. Houston Texans get Aziz Al shaer back on. the defensive side remember he was.

AFC North Russell Wilson and TJ wad have. lost four straight to end the season. will they make five in Baltimore with. the Baltimore Ravens playing better than. any other team in the NFL there was a. point differential that Adam schfer. tweeted out that he got a stat from. hembo and against teams that are good.

teams the Baltimore Ravens have the. highest point like plus 138 or something. like that and then the next closest team. is Detroit I think it's like plus 60. yeah yeah 36 there it is uh Baltimore. plus 112 Detroit plus 36 Philly plus 29. these are against playoff teams. Baltimore has pummeled the good football. teams now will that remain will that. continue Pittsburgh has gotten their. asses beat by playoff teams thus farus. 30 Stanford Steve how do you see this. AFC North rivalry match up playing out.

uh familiarity as much as the Ravens. have played uh lights out lately that. stretch of you know uh three games in 11. days they were awesome going undefeated. plenty was made of it Pittsburgh keeps. it close give me the points okay. Steelers plus 9 and a half I'm sure. there's some sort of stat about the. Ravens and Steelers uh plus five I think. cuz we talked about it earlier in the. season three plus three it was the dog a. dog of uh three or more was I don't know. 17 or 18 And1 uh Tomlin was 13 and0 in. that situation how do you feel about.

your Steelers covering money L. whoa Tony dogs exactly here we go. Steelers here we. go pburg going to the Super Bowl here we. go when you twirl a towel Steve if you. were to I'm not saying you do it on a. regular basis right hand you're you're. holding like this here yeah if you were. to twirl how would you twirl that thing. if you had to that boy okay yep yeah.

that way that's a good twirl what else. do you do we had a guy twirling at the. other way the other way. yeah I was hoping to get that out here. he is look he's tling it the other way. look at the back I don't even know how. it's. possible it is going the other way. though you know that's like uh that's. like hitting the head robbing the. stomach those two doing it the opposite. directions there it's really impressive. you guys aren't coordinated enough to do. that I apologize very athletic it is cuz. you got to get the wrist involved it's. good get theist in that you got do that.

here we go. DB here we go you like tone money line. Pittsburgh Steelers you like Stanford. Steve Steelers plus 9 and a half you. know what the trend is typically your. friend and you talked about the plus. five and this game is always a battle. they're so familiar with each other but. right is your friend the two-time MVP is. on an absolute Mission this year he will. be missing his top receiver he hasn't. practiced a flowers but I'm going lar.

Jimmy Seafood guys goofballs when they. were over in China when they were doing. that they were goofball I think they're. going to be so mad that you just said. what you just said I think they're going. to legit be like hey we say a lot of. stuff about each other that that ain't. that's too far they sent me a package. for Christmas and I dm' John macadus um. that's not his name madus. I threw that package right in the. garbage I said it's playoff time brother. see you after no what they pieced. together for Christmas was awesome oh. you guys got okay it's a full package. sent it to the office he sent it to you. okay it was to you as well okay they.

were definitely over there then no it. was it was I know I didn't get anything. they made it out to you and and I think. Tai's name was on there as well. everybody's name was on there dbot was. on her AJ was on her even all the uh all. the other guys too yeah we're we're on. there makad dakis can go to hell then I. don't think you guys are saying his name. right you like Baltimore yep you like. the Steelers plus 9 and a half AJ who do. you like I like Baltimore minus 9 half I. guess it is yeah man I think like like. dbut said look at I mean that the stats. don't really lie too much I kind of like.

that stat they're beating up on playoff. teams they're the only team in the. league beating up on playoff teams trend. is your friend this trend right here. certainly a trend we should be paying. attention to you know plus one 12 by a. huge margin they beat the bills by like. 40 all right how about this what. whatever because I didn't think you guys. gave maximum effort during the here we. go oh talking to. you in the. video I didn't see that weight move at. all did you no he could roll it I didn't.

even see it spin I couldn't even move it. like this no rolling before I saw I saww. want be a Hardo on the internet showing. off yeah he repped it like five times. with the terrible Tower in his hand. where was I I was that the other side. you were just walking up I was on the. other side of the office yeah spping I. didn't see didn't even need Nick to spot. him honestly Bingo the guy that was. doing the other way yeah he didn't need. how many reps you get five oh I'll take. the Ravens.

oh minus 9 and a half I don't like it at. all it's a lot of points so many points. especially in this Cavalry they know. each other so well why did Steelers go. to the stadium to practice I I thought I. saw a tweet that um the outdoor fields. at their facility are too warm so they. don't have outdoor fields and they to be. in a condition Cincinnati Bengals didn't. have indoor facility and the Steelers. don't have an outdoor facility Bingo. Russ used to do that with the Seahawks. too what go practice at the stadium. before they won the Super Bowl oh. remember he did that full practice by.

himself too whenever he had his uh thumb. finger thing the hammer finger the. hammer is that what it was called yeah. something like that he busted his middle. finger remember that and he did the full. walk through it the it's got calling out. the things maybe that is what it was. maybe it was bring the team together. give me a Steelers plus 9 and a half. does George pck have Hammer finger when. he plays in. Nicole what are you talking about Hammer. brain what are you what are you talking. about you think he hasn't shown up in a. bit here saw a lot of dropsies last week. yeah but it's playoff football he'll be.

I absolutely love Denver here I I all. the pressure now is on Buffalo sh saw. Shawn Payton talk about the youth is. dangerous when you get to the playoffs. and experiened I haven't been there I. think they're a capable football team. secondary's back healthy right DB yep uh. Riley Moss back out Denver plus the.

points. debot uh you know what Denver's a feisty. ball Club they've had a great year I. actually like them to cover it's eight. and a half points I like them to cover. they'll keep it close they're going to. play a lot of man man coverage so I am. interested to see how Josh Allen uh will. will dice him up but I think they keep. it close with B Knicks in this offense. so give me the Broncos Plus 8 and half. what's the weather up there it's uh cold. with a little bit of wind but no not. like any snowy no crazy snow and I don't. even know who that would that would. benefit Josh I think obviously if it was.

insane but B's not you know scared to. play a little weather NE neither are the. Denver Broncos AJ Hawk who do you like I. like the Denver Broncos here I I think. they I think the Bills win but I think. the Broncos will cover I love what this. Broncos defense can do everything that. you guys are saying means we got a great. game here one o'clock on Sunday I like. that I I'll continue to Trend give me. the Broncos wow what I would do that as. well yeah I was gonna pick the bills of. course just got engaged he's the best. Josh Allen we've ever seen he's going to. play great he's going to play great he's.

going to win I think I'm not even a. bills guy 32 uh five to 10 hour win. beautiful what are you saying you're. saying we need we need to think about. the other side I mean they beat the [ __ ]. out of so many teams this year they he. they didn't even play last week it was a. bye class I'll take the Buffalo Bills. I'll take the Buffalo he's engaged guys. run out of in he's in love I'll crossed. out Green Bay Packers Philadelphia. Eagles pack going in without Christian. Watson obviously teres his ACL Without. You Know full confidence in what they.

can be but certainly have had glimpses. of greatness both on the offensive side. and on the defensive side including. against this Eagles team so long ago. saquon Barkley and the boys rest the. final game of the season instead of. going for the rushing King title which. is certainly something everybody would. love lot of heat on serion all damn. year if they were to lose at home as. four and a half Point favorites it would. obviously get to a fever pitch how do. you see this Sunday afternoon game going. Stanford Steve you know every Super Wild. Card Weekend you got to find the.

blowout I believe this is the blowout. wow give me the Eagles minus the points. oh I I thought he was going to say the. Packers there Ty I thought he was going. to say it was the Packers you you knew. he was going the other way no I'm just. saying I'm taking the other side all the. all the pressures on the Eagles we're. getting hurts who knows how healthy he's. going to be guys hasn't played in two. weeks yeah I mean the Packers are. [ __ ] limping in they've looked like. [ __ ] absolute [ __ ] sh You could argue. wow wow but hammered dog shite yeah. hammered dog shite You could argue that. but this a better team than last year's.

team last year's team got in the. playoffs and they beat the [ __ ] [ __ ]. out of the Cowboys on the road yeah. Cowboys eag Eagles just won did they. just win no Lane Johnson won he won a. trench oh yeah he did w and the Eagles. won the trenchy won the trenchy right. mhm they won the offensive line of the. Year Tren they did I mean Packers had a. guy who rushed for, 1400 yards as well. it's not like they're you know their. offensive Line's not hammered dog shite.

I understand the Eagles is very good I. get saquan trenchy they want a damn. trenchy I know they want to trenchy with. long hair brother I know I know I'm. siding with lombo I'm taking the Packers. what what are we talking about DB who do. you like hey speaking of the trenches. and the trenches Eagles got the edge uh. give me the Eagles to win the Eagles to. cover yeah they went by at least at. least a touchdown go ahead AJ I'm going. to take the Packers I think the Packers. either win this game or they lose by. double digits okay just like St St I. think it's one of those games it's.

either going one way or the Y. way I'll take the Eagles and this one. Nick serani obviously coaching for a lot. there Washington commanders Tampa Bay. Buccaneers that situation with Mike. Evans at the end of last week's game was. awesome was a one- score game could have. certainly been a pick six but instead. the entire team said this guy needs to. get 11 straight Seasons with a th000. yards this guy needs to tie Jerry Rice. this guy also is going to get a $3. million bonus because this team loves. him they celebrated so hard for him. Vibes can't be anything other than.

Immaculate and then for the Washington. commanders what a year what a turnaround. what time the Buccaneers are favored by. three at home going to be hot there in. Tampa or is it going to be the same [ __ ]. as here what is the weather in Tampa is. it going to be colder come on with man. well where's Cantor where's Jim Cantor. Texas or he might be might be with the. fires yeah he might be commanders won 12. games this year you know how many teams. they beat there in the playoffs how many. oh no one and that was with Kenny.

picket Chargers also beat one team. that's playoffs they beat Denver twice. uh does that stuff matter I don't think. so when you have Daniels uh I like I. like Washington plus the points wow that. went one way and then another didn't it. kind of took us on a walk there it was. like we were on the F1 track outside. [ __ ] zigging and Zagg we're going all. over the place go ahead tone 65 and. sunny oh it's perfect okay oh it sounds. perfect I thought that's what it was. going to be down here instead that's up. there in Tampa and that's where the. hulkster is right that is where the.

hulkster is and at uh and uh the other. guy Jimmy Hart right oh yeah you're. right is he up there as well yeah I. think so debut who do you like how do. you like it uh I loved what I saw last. week just like you did with Mike Evans. and his team and they got a run game I. think AQ talked about him uh when he was. on the show yesterday at the Run game. the juice that Bucky Irving has. brought I am concerned about that. defensive side of the ball and I'm going. to expect that marshan Latimore shows up.

and he is Mike Evans arch nemesis so. give me the commies to win this one. straight. up Kami straight up he said doesn't need. the points AJ Hawk how do you feel man. debut got me thinking on this one uh oh. no he's waffling WAFF waffling I'm T. because I'm love what Baker and what. Tampa Bay does I also love what they're. doing in Washington give me Washington. okay I'll take the. Bucks I'll take the Bucks favored by. three of them just that Mike Evans. football God thing you know I think.

football lore have had some battles. battles that's going to be fun to watch. yeah and Baker knows Baker's going to be. doing his whole you know bake [ __ ] yeah. his whole War up they beat the Eagles. last year what is he doing he go what up. he he ran a guy over they were down in. the fourth quarter I saw the video and. they said this oh yeah yeah and stepped. on top of a guy on his Saints and just. walked over top of him and then there. was a big fight that started it was like. a hockey player starting a fight to kind. of rally the boys whenever you're down. Baker Mayfield's a player I I don't. think we appreciate and respect the. competitive Spirit of Baker Mayfield.

enough he's just a he's just a gamer the. guy he's just I assume it's in. everything I assume it's in everything. that he does that competitive he's got. the juice always going to fight I uh I. like the Buccaneers not the Jen Daniel. isn't but I like the Buccaneers and then. Monday Night Football will it be played. in Los Angeles or will it be played in. Phoenix Arizona we are not 100% sure we. obviously all watch with baited breath. about what's going on in Los Angeles we. can't help but say sorry to everybody. that's going through that that has to be. catastrophic and horrific and scary as.

hell so obviously positive T's and P's. over there for Los Angeles Matthew. Stafford PUK and a and the boys host the. Minnesota Vikings who have been a. absolute wagon except for against the. Detroit Lions a lot of Minnesota Vikings. fans said oh no here we go again after. losing to the Lions for the number one. seed in the NFC they are in it for being. the best team in the National Football. Conference in the NFC they lose to the. Lions and Vikings fans can't help but. say fug gay we're not going to do it I.

think it's because they've been punished. so much I think it's different this year. what do you say Stanford. Steve uh what is it one Rams minus one. I'm absolute talk no Vikings Viking oh. uh I still think the world of McVey is a. play caller I think it's huge that uh. Sam darnold got that bad game out of his. system I expect to be high. scoring I'm gonna go Rams okay Rams. whether it's in Phoenix or in La does it. matter no okay Darius J Butler do you.

you pick this now pick it Monday too. just in case he gets moved that's right. Stanford Steve yeah we got Steve's pick. though all right I'm in good pick thank. you Steve I'm not waffling hey that was. a great work out of you thank Youk you.
