Yeah. [music]. [music]. [music]. Thank you. A.

[screaming]. WOW. [music]. [music].

STOP. You got it. >> in Berkeley, California. You got it. [cheering]. [screaming]. This one's for three. AJ Hawk. $5,000.

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

Put my hands up. Keep my hands up again. [music]. [applause]. >> [music].

>> USA. USA. USA. USA. Come on in.

[cheering]. >> [music]. >> A. [music] up a a.

>> [music]. [cheering]. [music]. >> The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the.

sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, let's go. [cheering] This show sticks and the fact.

that you listen, we are very, very. thankful. with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay [music] Packers. You. stop. Damn it. [music] Your friends. telling something nice to change their. life. [music]. >> Hello, [music] beautiful people. Welcome to US Night Stadium, the host of.

tonight's [music] Monday Night Football. This one begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL. It's the. reason why this beautiful $1.1 billion. stadium was built in the summer of 2016. So, a little bit older than 10 years. The place looks magical and spectacular. It's clean. It feels nice. And tonight. it's going to host a game that has. implications down the road in a huge. way. Not only because Josh Allen and. this Buffalo Bills team looking better.

than they've looked in a long ass time. and Joe Brady's first year as a head. coach. They lead the number one pointc. scoring offense in the entire NFL. Well, they're coming into the home of the. number one pointscoring defense in the. NFL with Brian Flores and Harrison. Smith. You're talking about a marquee. main event matchup between these two. heavyweights and the best that the. entire NFL has. But on that Minnesota. Vikings side, I don't know if you saw. the graphic there, Carson Wentz is going. to be the starting quarterback. Now, if. Carson has a great game and showcases.

that he can be the quarterback of the. Minnesota Vikings, maybe that will quiet. the trade deadline conversation that is. going to have to come to a head tomorrow. at the quarterback position of the. Minnesota Vikings. Is Daniel Jones. getting traded to Minnesota? They have. said no. that will not take place. But. if Carson Wentz comes out here and lays. an absolute egg, which is possible, will. the Minnesota Vikings look for another. quarterback before tomorrow's 4:00. deadline? We shall see. Implications. across the board, excited and thankful. to be in the building. We'll be live on.

ESPN 2 with some uh special surprise. guests as well. We are so lucky that we. get to do this for a living. College. football was incredible. We'll talk. about it all. It's not just me. It's not. just the lads behind the camera set up. here in the uh I guess under the biggest. jumbotron we've seen here. >> Yeah, the big ones in some time. >> Eight of the Colts. >> Yeah. [clears throat]. >> Okay, relax. This is a big part of the. viewers experience. I think this place. has been built wonderfully. Nobody has. ever said a bad thing about it whenever. you're inside of it. And once you're.

inside of it, you can realize why. The. toxic table at Boston Connor and at Ty. Schmidt, you two did battle this. weekend. Con man. Uh-oh. Yeah. Was it because Tom Brady came back. and scared Drake Bay into turning the. ball over so much? Or is it because this. Packers team tie might be the best team. in all the ball? We crowned the Bears. We've crowned the Jacksonville Jaguars. We've wondered, especially with Miles. Garrett back with the Rams. We've. wondered about a lot of these teams. The. Packers yesterday going into Foxboro on.

Gron's induction ceremony day, reliving. the glory days, Tom Brady in the. building, everything going the way the. now Patriots are without AJ Brown and. Dobs. They don't have their one or two. wide receivers, but nonetheless, Packers. don't have Michael Parsons and some. other players on their roster as well. Demoralize the Patriots. You got to be. flying incredibly high on this. overreaction Monday. >> Yeah, it was an absolutely fantastic. weekend. There's really just no other. way to say it. Um, you know, did I. expect that to happen? Certainly not. I. felt very confident that the Packers. would win going into it, but boy oh boy,

I did not expect them to just beat the. absolute dog shite out of the Patriots. And this is kind of what every Packers. fan thought too at the start of the. year. It's like, hey, if the Packers are. going to go where they want to go, Jordan Love has to play like an MVP. He. did that yesterday. And boy, that. defense is just unreal. >> And and the Patriots, are you worried. about what's going on there or how do we. feel about the squad from Foxboro that. we thought was all the way bounced back. and then a real opponent comes into town. and smacks him around. Good thing, bad. thing, con man. >> Uh, I think good thing in the end. I'm.

not worried just yet. The Patriots have. the most starters this season in the. NFL. They lead the league in injuries. That's going to be tough. Every team. deals with them though, so that's not an. excuse. But no, I'm not worried just. yet. This feels like the wakeup call. You know, there's been games in the. past, the Jags week three where they. lost 42 to7 and then it was like, you. know what, this team stinks. Uh, and. this was kind of exactly like that. Tai. mentioned Jordan Love played his best. game possibly ever and we had players. who are supposed to be our five-star. guys not play their best game ever. So,

not not uh in any worry it caused for. concern just yet. And to your Brady. point, I don't think Tom Brady really. played a part in the Patriots um being. too nervous to go out there and play. well. It is very clear now though that. Tom Brady definitely doesn't want the. Patriots [laughter] to do well after his. era, which I can understand and. appreciate. I you know, he's a. competitor. >> Why is it Why is it so clear, you say? I. >> I mean the he takes some unnecessary. shots. gets very excited about the other. team kind of doing well. And then I.

think once again, just to go back to the. Seattle part last year, when you're. playing the Super Bowl and your kind of. face of your team for 20 plus years says. he doesn't have a dog in the fight, you. kind of understand like, okay, this guy. doesn't actually like the Patriots. anymore, which is okay. I I don't have a. gripe with it. It is what it is. But you. can't say you're a Patriot for life and. forever and not like the team. >> Okay. Well, maybe he's just trying to be. non-biased. He is an owner of another. team, but he certainly uh had a lot of. his life. >> happen up there in Foxboro, [laughter].

so I I would hope that uh the Packers 45. points are the most allowed by the. Patriots in a regular season game this. century. Okay, so uh Patriots have a. disappointing Sunday. Packers have an. enlightening one. One half of the hammer. die. Cowboys AP Tone is here. Tone, we'll dive into something that is. trending here in just a matter of. moments. and then nine-year NFL vet, host of everything DB, good D and also. XO matchup on ESPN, the OO, ladies and. gentlemen, one of the smartest brains in. Paul, Darius J. Paul.

>> ESPN 2, NFL Network, you know. All. right, I respect NFL match up. >> And also Oo though, they will put that. probably. Yeah, >> as they should. Uh, Dut, there was a lot. of storylines coming out of yesterday, >> but I can't wait to get to our. >> top five. Top five top five. The top. five headlines coming out of week nine. of the NFL Sunday. Driven by Ram. And if. you're going to drive a truck, you need. to be driving a Ram. The thing is strong. enough to pull whatever you need, but. also luxurious enough to make you feel. like a king. You hit that gas pedal,

there's only one sound you're going to. hear, and that's [laughter]. the gas pedal into our top five, shall. we? Number five, they are who we thought. they were. Favorites go 13-1. straight up. Sheesh. 10-4 against the. spread. If you count what the final. spread was, we're talking about the. Colts game, how they end up covering uh. for uh the Dallas Cowboys. Now, if you. think you know what football is at any. point, that can, you know, kind of kick. you square in the balls. You think you.

have it figured out, you start gambling, you know, responsibly, obviously, and. then he gets smacked right in the face. with reality. That ball is not. predictable. >> But going 13-1 as favorites this. weekend, I would assume DraftKings got. absolutely slaughtered. Congrats to us. >> You love that. >> Yeah. Congrats to us winning if this is. actually, you know, the weekend of doom. that it potentially was for DraftKings. But D, but I ask you this. Do we know. who these teams are now? 13-1 for the. favorites is quite a chalky straight up. side of ball that. >> this season has not delivered for us at.

all. But from Thursday all the way. through last night, favorites delivering. in a big way. Are they who we think they. are at this stage? Do we have this thing. figured out? >> I think we always talk about midseason. form, players, coaches, teams being at. mid-season form. We're in the middle of. the season now and so now, yeah, we kind. of got it figured out. Teams are making. trades. You know who the buyers, who the. sellers are. Some teams are getting. healthy. Obviously, it's football. So, some teams are dealing with injuries as. well. But yeah, we know who they are. And I think uh probably more. importantly, the sports books knows who.

who they are as well. And even the. overunders, I think that was right down. the middle as well. I think 50/50, 7-7. so far throughout the week. So, yeah, everybody kind of pretty much has a beat. on the NFL, but we know how it is. As. soon as we think we got teams figured. out, we get into next week and we have. all these different upsets when you have. these tighter lines. But for this week, this was a great week for the betters. out there, especially if you have some. Survivor Leagues, money line parlays, this was a phenomenal week for that. >> And one half of the hammer don Cowboys. AP tone. Anytime the favorites are doing. this type of stuff, uh, that's good news.

for the public. We're here in Minnesota. We're getting a trade a little bit with. DraftKings coast to coast. We're in the. trade market now. 3% 4% 6% 16% uh type. bets we're piecing together for or sorry. trades we're piecing together for. tonight but what should we can. >> should we just expect this to continue. now what are the trends about this type. of stuff happening right in the middle. of a football season uh in the past. >> yeah I wouldn't expect it to continue. this week when you looked at the board. coming in like we kind of knew that the. the slate was one where it could be a.

favorites uh led week because there was. no spread under three points there was. four games hovering right around 10. double digits. So like coming into this. week, we thought like, hey, there's a. there could be a lot of blowouts in this. one, but going 13-1 like they did, if. they go 14-1, if the Bills win tonight, that'll be the third best week in the. history of favorites ever in the NFL. So. when you look at it, yeah, there was a. that we could have say yes, we know. these teams because they play there was. good teams versus a lot of bad teams. When we look at next week's slate,

there's a lot of threes, there's a lot. of three and a halfs, there's three or. four one and a halfs. There's only one. double digit so far. So, I think next. week we'll probably get back to a more. even playing ground, but this week, man, when you don't have any upsets and. everyone's putting their moneyline. parlays together, like Budsy talked. about earlier, and there's not one. upset, the books got absolutely crushes. >> Yeah, I had a couple crowns and I'm. going to let you know that feels good to. see. It feels really good to see the. crowns, especially with what they've. been doing to us all season. We need to. hit our super boost going forward. Go to. the people. If you're of age and in any. state where DraftKings is available,

whether it's sports gambling or the. prediction markets, we'd love for you to. come join us. Just you have to agree to. be responsible and not an [ __ ] Can't. ruin it for all of us. I love that we're. in a trades market out here. >> Yeah, >> it has been a fun thing to learn about. Very easy to operate though. >> Yeah, nothing better. >> What's wrong, Ty? >> No, nothing. I love trading. You know, I. love it. You put together a nice little. parlay and they let you know right away. You know, it's a little bit different. when you see like, you know, plus 700. You feel pretty good when you see that. 3%. [laughter]. >> This is the percentage chance that you.

have. >> Exactly. So, you know, and then after. you already put that in, they're. basically telling you right away, hey, you're a [ __ ] Okay. That's [laughter]. that's not hidden. >> 3%. >> Exactly. So, uh [clears throat] it's. fun. It is fun. But I I you know, thank. God we are in a state that uh lets you, you know, just gamble cuz I don't need. to get my teeth kicked in right when I. put the bet in. I'll I'll wait till the. game to do that. >> Yeah. But also, I I mean, when you see a. plus 750, okay, you're probably not. going to hit it. >> I'm always thinking that coming home. I.

know that's they do look great,000. coming up. >> He's right though. Seeing like the. implied probability of 3% is tough. It's. tough. >> It's tough. It's a lot different mind. game as you're piecing that thing. together cuz you do see a plus 750 and. you think to yourself, "Oh, I've hit one. of these before. This is big." I've. never had to look at 3% to say I've. never had to look at them saying, "Hey, >> this is long.". >> Yeah, take it back. >> This is a long, long way. We appreciate. DraftKings doing that. Uh, I believe. there's some specials obviously as we. get to the back half of the season with. them. Be responsible, please. Okay? If.

you're of age, all we ask is that you be. responsible and not an [ __ ] and not. ruin it for all of us. We all understand. that sports gambling is going to be a. part of our society, especially in. sports going forward. We can set the. tone on how it should be treated. There's going to be people that abuse. it. We are very sorry for those people. We don't like that. Let's be. responsible. Now, on that note, >> if the favorites are going to start. hitting, >> uhoh, we're going to responsibly be. winning, I think. And uh I don't know if. that's going to continue. The sports. books normally write what they're wrong, especially when the faves are kicking. ass. Okay, let's move to the number four.

headline coming out of week nine NFL. Sunday. Defensive domination. in special teams. >> Pretty special. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> When you talk about special teams, you. know, Dolphins Lions game yesterday. >> Yeah. >> First game forever. Both teams had a uh. executed fake punt. >> Oo. >> Now that we are in the season now, middle of the season, needless to steal. another possession. Absolute strike. Okay. By Jack Fox. Just an absolute. strike by Jack Fox. Lions are going to. win this game. Dolphins are who we. thought they were. Congrats to the Lions.

doing that. But the Dolphins also. cooking. Little desperation. How you. doing? Keep it moving. Fourth quarter. We need it. Ah, let me move the pocket a. little bit. Drop that thing in the. bucket. Okay. Now, could he hit him with. a runner ball? Sure. [laughter]. >> Sure. But those wide open guys are the. hardest ones to hit. You know, everybody. knows that. But now we got Kyro Santos. hits a gamewinner for the Bears or 38. yards. Go ahead and stroke that thing. directly through. Kickers are hitting. from 59, 52, 51. the 1:00 slate. Everybody's first drive ended with a. field goal. First time in a long time. There hadn't been a touchdown basically. in that first slate for like an hour and.

a half. It was just field goals, field. goals, field goals, punts, pinning. everything that was happening. Now, there was also an 86y punt yesterday. >> Really? >> Oh, what? >> Yeah. Braden man hit an 86yd punt. Now, he's a stud. He's an athlete. He's a. freak show coming out of Texas A&M. He. was in his own end zone. It's only time. you can hit a long ball is when your. feet are in the paint. It's something. that you absolutely remember. Foxy, do. we have it? We're looking for it. >> No, we don't have it. >> Okay. >> It was a roll of dice to whether we.

end up being a punt. It end up being a. punt there. Okay. Let's check that box. That's [laughter] one thing that we. don't have. We have two things that. didn't make it over to the computer. We. didn't know what they were Brad man's. punt. And it's good news because he did. follow that. Boom. Good work back there, Foxy. So, anytime you're in the paint, that's the only time you have a chance. to hit a long ball. You know, like. Randall Cunningham did like a 96 yard. punt. There's guys in the past that have. 90 plus yard punts. Those are only. happening a couple times whenever you're. lined up in the paint. Okay, that and. when you're sitting in there, you do. think to yourself like, "Okay, this is. an opportunity for a big one. There's. not a lot of times where you have this.

much grass in front of you." Braden man, incredible athlete, strong leg, bombs. this one. Okay. Now, in a in a thing. that involves averages, >> Yeah. >> the only thing you can't do, [laughter]. literally, the only thing you can't do. after hitting an 86 yard is hit like a. -2 yard. >> Yeah. And he did that. >> Yeah, he did that. Wasn't really his. fault. >> Went to the side, hits that negative two. yards. >> So 86 plusgative -2 is 84. Divide that. by that's a 42 yd average. That's just.

not right. >> That's [laughter] a heartbreaker. So. that's special math, too, that's taking. place in there. I appreciate him making. a play. Obviously got to look that one. in. The hands are the most important. part of punting because you're catching. a ball every single time you go out. there. Slips through, goes to his right. I wish he would have just hit this left. ear as opposed to trying to get a banana. ball back, but nonetheless, >> uh 86 yard. Let's talk about that. Let's. talk about the 86 yard. Now, let's get. to the defense. >> Miles Garrett comes back. >> Yeah. >> Goes crazy. >> Has three sacks. Aaron Donald says a. couple of those are sacks, but.

everything we thought that they could. maybe be turns out they actually are. together. Debo, what did you see from. the Rams there? >> I mean, that's what they're going to. need it. This was the trade, the move. that everybody talked about. This is why. everybody thought, you know, the Rams. would go undefeated and win the Super. Bowl. This is a guy reigning uh. defensive player of the year. Set the. sacks record last year. So yeah, if he's. healthy, Aaron Donald's healthy, Trent. McDuffy, this defense can be dominant. dominant. They can be special and. they're going to need to be because you. have a potential injury of Puka hanging. over here with that defense, but this. was a phenomenal performance. This is.

how you let your presence make your. presence be felt immediately when you. touch that field. 95 is a problem. >> Yeah. And the Rams, you know, this is. what we were hoping that this defense. could be if Matthew uh Stafford's able. to go. Pakula gets injured on the last. play. Everybody that talked about this. Rams team and saw the way they started. Ah, they're two and four. They're two. Everybody that got on the microphone. that has any football experience. Okay. Said they got way too much talent on. that roster to give up on them yet. Feels like that might be accurate. Need. Puka though as we go forward. Con man. >> Yeah. Need Puka also need Devonte back.

I believe there are reports that he is. progressing much better from the. hamstring and he should be back earlier. than the projected 6 to 10 weeks. But if. they do have a defense that's going to. be able to hold them on, you know, they. can deal with a puka injury, not a. season ending injury, but a puka injury. just like they have with Devonte cuz you. have Matt Stafford who makes everyone. else better. But as long as the defense. is playing like this, it might not even. matter. >> Seahawks minus 8 and a half was my bet. on the dry race board at the Thunderdome. for best bet of the weekend. >> Good board this week. >> It was good board. I think we did pretty. well. 72 and one or something like that.

depending upon how you judge and when it. wrapped up. But yeah, Seahawks minus 8. and a half against Cardinals. Felt like. a lock after what happened to them. against the Bears on prime time, especially with what their defense did. They held the Cardinals to 2.8 yards a. carry. Obviously only three points. Garam Mchu, welcome back to absolute. hell, pal. This one felt pretty obvious, but they end up getting uh four or three. sacks and only three points allowed. after having Caleb Williams and the. Chicago Bears do what they did to him. Almost felt uh automatic even though we. think Cardinals are a good football. team. Ty.

>> Yeah. And we talked a lot about, you. know, I mean, this is often times what. happens with these backup quarterbacks. You know, Gardenner Mchu had that. unbelievable game last week where he. throws what, three touchdown passes in. the fourth quarter. It was kind of. probably going to, you know, regress to. the mean here. But I think the Seahawks. also realize with the way they are this. year with no Kenneth Walker and them. still trying to kind of find their run. game, like their defense has to dominate. like this if they want to go and repeat. as Super Bowl champions because their. offense just doesn't quite look the. same. But yeah, obviously anytime they. go out there, they're, you know, they're.

they're hunting big time. >> Yeah. And, you know, you start wondering. if the heavy heavy style offense and. heavy heavy style defense might get to. some three-point games, might get to. some 10, seven type games down the. stretch here with how dominant defenses. are, especially with what the Vikings. have been able to do. We're it's going. to be on Showcase tonight if they can. stop Josh Allen and keep moving. And. then the Giants, everybody's talking. about JJ McCarthy. He gets hurt. devastatingly. >> Very painful. It looked very painful on. the sideline. He gets hurt on the field, goes over to test it. Ah, feels.

something. He goes inside. He was in. pain. Then Jameus Winston goes out, scores a touchdown. >> JJ McCarthy gets something back in the. locker room. Comes back, lets the boys. know, hey, I'm here. We're here. Let's. go win this game. They do. Not a lot of. people now. Watch. Hey, hey, hey, hey, he's okay. He's okay. Gets it all fig. Yeah. Gets it all figured out. [laughter]. >> And we just talked about Gardner Mchu, you know, having a good game. JJ. McCarthy now has to go backtoback with. the Giants, you know, after a by-week. It's like, how how is JJ and the Giants.

going to do? Well, I'll tell you, if. their defense is going to get seven. sacks and only give up 11 points against. the Eagles, it doesn't really matter. what the offenses does as long as it. stays on schedule and scores points. Do. we know this from this Giants defense. being possible? What a. >> what a dominating performance from this. hard ball. >> That was the expectation for this uh. Giants defense, especially up front. Now, you go and draft Arll Reese. David. Bailey has been phenomenal. He tried to. rip off Patrick Mahomes arm yesterday. I. don't know how Mahomes got back in that. game and finished. But Oliver Reese is. special. If it wasn't for Brett Warner,

people would probably be saying he's the. best linebacker in the league right now. What he's doing in coverage, what he's. doing pressure-wise, three sacks. yesterday. I believe he's the f favorite. uh right now for the defensive rookie of. the year. He's now you got to block this. guy. Can't just leave him free to kill. the quarterback. But yeah, he's doing. his thing. Tippido's doing his thing. Brian Burns is banged up. They got dogs. all across that front line. makes the. secondary better as well. So the new DC. over there, he's got these boys humming. That's what you're going to need when. you have whatever is going on at that. quarterback position. Another reason why. Harbaugh, I think, is the favorite for.

the coach of year right now. >> If you have a good defense this year, it's going to be more valuable than. ever. Now, what's that mean? Trenches. need to be able to get home. Linebackers. be need to be able to stop the run and. also get in coverage. You know, we went. to a little bit of a hybrid style. linebacker that needs to be super fast. and needs to be able to get side to. side. Now, they're gonna have to be able. to handle getting punched in the mouth. as well. Harbaugh knows that that's. football in a nutshell. Let's go to the. number three headline coming out of week. nine NFL Sunday. This is a big one. We. did it for the Bears. We did it for the.

Jags, ladies and gentlemen. We might we. might have seen the Boston Cheese party. come out for the Green Bay Packers. saying, "Hey, we might be one of the top. teams in the entire league. Nobody's. talking about us." Jordan Love has what, the fourth best odds for MVP. Who knows. what it was going into the weekend. Not. a lot of love for him. Not a lot of love. for the floor. Almost like everybody's. waiting for them to stink. And I'm just. talking about that from maybe uh how we. have viewed the Packers over the years. is like at some point this is going to. fall apart. Maybe not though. Ty, that. was a dominating performance. And. Ganon's got a fire in his gut on the.

defensive side. They made Drake May look. like very bad Drake May that we haven't. seen in some time. >> Yeah. And my initial plan was to come on. here today and kind of just kill Ganon. for no reason because this is the time. of the year where him being a head coach. is really going to start to heat up. But. you can't do that because he has just. been so good. Uh, we talked about this a. lot with the Bengals, like, hey, is it. sustainable to just have this type of. offense and go win a Super Bowl? I think. the Packers are a better version of the. Bengals cuz their defense is unreal. Jordan Love, he was always going to have. to to be like this and and play an MVP.

season. That that's kind of been every. Packers fan, you know, that's what. they've wanted is, hey, at times they. they still they don't really give him. the keys completely. They have this. year. He's thrown it downfield more than. anyone else in the NFL. yesterday. They. rushed for over 100 yards for the first. time this season. Uh, and I think. they're the I just I think they're the. most complete team in the NFC North in. what is arguably not arguably what is it. is the best divisions in the NFL. Uh, so. yeah, I think the Packers are really. starting to heat up and they're kind of. hitting their stride right now right. before Micah gets back.

>> Watson and Golden both go for over 150. yards. Gigantic ordeal. How do you stop. them? You talked about them being the. Bengals. T. Higgins and Jamar Chase both. went crazy yesterday and have gone. crazy, but if they get a run game going, are they going to be anywhere near. touchable? What are your thoughts on the. Packers? >> I mean, that's always always a question. Like you said, this is going to be the. question with the Bengals until somebody. actually goes and wins one without a run. game. But there has been teams that have. made runs down the stretch. And how do. you stop them? I mean, that's a that's. the billion dollar question right now. These guys are special and their numbers. would be 10 times better if they.

actually caught the ball at the rate. that they can. But Jordan Love and Matt. Laflur, I love how aggressive that he. he's been all year long. Like it started. with that Bears game and I did the sit. rep on Jordan Love just taking shots. down the field, first down. They were up. three possessions game, still taking. shots down the field. Christian. Gonzalez, one of the best corners in the. league. He just didn't have a good day. But Jordan Love, he's going to find the. guys open and he's going to hit them. >> Who's that right there? >> Savon Williams. Yeah. >> Hey, he he can dance dance. I think. >> he can. >> Yeah. Like like obviously he's very good. at football. He had a hell of a day.

yesterday and that's a good spot to be. with Watson and Golden being a third or. fourth option. Tucker Craft hopefully, you know, that gets rolling in a bigger. way. He can actually dance though. I I. think this guy actual like certified. dance that I was watching the. celebration then when he did the pool. thing I'm like this guy I think he. actual. >> Yeah, have a plan. You have. >> that guy might be one of the best. dancers in the league. I I don't want to. put everything out there cuz you see. some celebrations looks like there is a. bit of rhythm but maybe not as much. fluidity. Old buddy here might be top. five dancer in the league. I'm not 100%.

sure. And he's going to be seeing the. pain, especially as they try to get rid. of Watson and Golden. Yeah, right. Tone, you have something on the Packers. >> Yeah, if you like the Packers, uh. there's definitely some betting. opportunities right now. They are fourth. in the division to win the division at. plus 720. So, yeah, they're a couple. games behind the Vikings. Vikings have a. huge one tonight. That could get them to. two losses. So, the Packers would be. only one game behind in the loss column. in the division. They're plus 720, which. is the worst odds in the NFC North to. win the division. And then they're not. even in the top 12 to win the Super. Bowl. So, if you like the Packers, if. you think, you know, with Micah coming. back, the defense is only going to get.

better and, you know, as the offensive. line with a ton of injuries starts to. gel again and maybe they do get a bit of. a more of a run game, if you like the. Packers, you can uh definitely get some. good odds on them to win the Super Bowl. or the division right now. >> Do you like the Packers right now, Con. man, after what you watch them do in. Foxboro, pal? >> I mean, it's hard to argue the Packers. on the best team in the freaking league. [laughter]. the the fact that the fact that the. Packers ran for over a 100 yards, I. think is why it is so loud in New. England right now, cuz the Patriots have. one of the better run defenses in the. entire NFL. And for the Packers, who. have the worst run offense in the NFL,

for them to come in by a mile, for them. to come into your house and do that to. you. Yeah, I'm pretty high on the. freaking Packers. >> Yeah. And you know, the the story of. defenses this year, once again, don't. want to just talk about too much about. being here, is blitz, blitz, blitz, bringing a lot of pressure. Well, ESPN. Insight said the Blitz never bothered. love anyway. >> Love that. >> See this? >> I love that. >> 1170 yards, one TD, five plus pass. rushers on Sunday. So, you bring it. against Love, he'll do that fadeaway. [ __ ].

>> Mhm. >> He He has He's been doing it since the. beginning. >> Yes. >> And there's been a couple times where. it's going into a defensive team meeting. and you think to yourself, hey, you. can't do that, dude. Now we're at the. stage of. >> feels like his that might be one of his. best throws when he's fading backwards. and then Christian Gonzalez who's. normally phenomenal at coverage is. phenomenal coverage but Watson some that. ball's coming right down out of it's. uncoverable. It's like the Russell. Wilson moonshot but he's fading away. while doing it. It is he's hooping out.

there. Jordan Love is hooping out there. in real time. >> Yeah, big time. And I don't know if like. his arm has maybe gotten stronger. I. think it has, but a couple of those like. on these deep balls, it's like, oh man, it looks like he's he's throwing it 15. yards short and it is just right in a. bucket. And yeah, I mean, Matthew Golden. Debb mentioned it. He's had a bunch of. drops. Christian Watson finally being. the guy who they expected him to be when. they drafted him. Like it, you know, he's he's about to have what in he's. almost got a thousand yards um already. and like his big thing has been he can't. stay healthy, but you see what he can do.

when he is healthy. He's one of the best. receivers in the NFL. Yeah, that arm. strength is one thing, but Fox, if you. go back to that last throw, like that. back shoulder, like that ball placement. right there, having the cornerback. outside, you're intentionally putting it. back shoulder and then Watson adjusting. and making that catch. Like, that's when. you're playing really, really, really. high level football. And think about it, every time you go back to his tape, I. know it's like four or five throws that. he would like to have back, like they're. completions, but probably could have. been touchdowns if he threw them. differently. So, I know he's looking at. that. So, it's still room to grow. So, those numbers like that you gave, you.

said plus 720 to win a division. Yeah, they're with. >> this offensive potency and then the. defense, not only being able to get out. the quarterback when Micah gets back, but how they turn teams over like Evan. Williams and McKenna probably the best. safety tandem in the league right now. >> Well, and then you're getting Micah. >> Yep. >> Yeah. >> Which whenever Micah was playing with. them last year is whenever they were. playing their best ball, whenever Micah. got hurt, they were terrible. So, the. fact that they're good at ball right now. while getting and adding an allp pro. piece potentially, that's an absurd. thing to think about a plus 720 maybe. responsibly on that one.

>> And it's not even close. The Bears are. plus 160, Vikings are plus 210, Lions. plus 280, and then there's the jump to. plus 720 for the Packers to win the. division. >> Wow. >> Bears though. >> Yeah. What's the tiebreaker situation? Is that why? >> Maybe, but I'm the Packers have already. beat the Bears. I mean, it'll come down. to late in the season, but you know, if. Caleb keeps throwing four picks, you. know, I mean, I feel pretty good. >> He's a good. crown him last week. I'm just saying. >> I will still win. >> Kick him off. I was watching that last.

night. Big big win for the Bears. Jeffrey Simmons immediately. >> He's so good. >> Deorest Buckner, too. I don't know if. you saw he got introed last in San. Francisco. Oh, >> did he even play for the Colts? >> No, bro. >> He He doesn't want to remember it. No, >> no. Caleb got asked about his four picks. uh immediately after the the game. >> Mhm. >> Who's that over there? >> Oh, yeah. >> Cronin. Courtney. >> No. >> No. Sunday night it's um. >> Oh. Oh. in the field. Uh,

>> somebody should get We got to get this. right. >> Yeah, I know. >> We will not go one second further before. >> No, we can't. >> Well, the show will continue to happen. Who do uh who is uh. >> Melissa Stark? Okay. I should have went. with it. I knew it was Stark. I If you. go back and listen to my mouth, I said. Stark. Melissa Stark though goes uh four. interceptions right to Caleb right after. the game. They just win this game. And I. was like, "Okay, Melissa Stark, I. appreciate you doing that." He was like, "In high school, I think I threw three. interceptions one time. college. I threw. three interceptions one time. So, this.

is just my one time what happens. I'm. like, what an answer out of Caleb. immediately after a game because, you. know, he is fuming. Yeah. Okay. Even if. you win the game, obviously you're. happy. But he put his team in some. jeopardy every Tampa Bay Buccaneers. defense once again, >> phenomenal stuff. They won a couple. games just without throwing the ball. And Baker didn't look terrible on a. couple of I I mean that NFC South is a. hilarious conversation as it goes. forward in total. But the Bears winning. while not playing anywhere near their. best ball, I think is more dangerous. than ever. And the way Caleb handled the.

four picks, I think was a big deal. Now, to your point though, Packers Bears went. 16. >> Yeah, I think Yeah, around there. So, and and obviously the the Packers starts. from the first time when Caleb wasn't. playing. So, um hopefully that gets. flexed. I I don't know when it is. I. >> Once again, remember flexing is a good. thing. >> Yeah. >> Not Not a bad thing. >> The Bears one. >> Yeah. >> It's at noon on Netflix on Christmas. Day. >> Oh, okay. That's not going to flex. anywhere. >> Okay. >> I can't wait. >> I don't love that, but that's all right. >> Christmas. What do you mean? Yeah, it'll.

be the best gift ever. >> No, I understand. But that that need. that's a Sunday night football game. I. understand Christmas is a big deal. Let's throw it to Netflix. Sure, that's. great. That that is a Sunday Night. Football game. >> or. >> or a Monday Night Football game. >> Yeah, but [laughter]. crazy. >> You know, you're going to have BR Ker. there. Think about that. >> Well, [laughter] thanks. I mean, maybe. I mean, Bert might be there the entire. Netflix. I mean, what does Netflix look. like going forward after the big. >> You know what it's gonna look like? >> Pretty big sweeping changes they made. >> Seth Freakin's gonna be hosting it and. he's gonna be pounding the Bears drum.

the entire time. >> Oh, he is. You're right. >> Yeah, great. >> Seth freaking Rollins definitely going. to be there. I think he's been good for. bowl. You don't like the I like the noon. Packers Bears. Love it. I like it. personally. >> And is it actually one? >> Sorry, it's one for here. >> So, it's a normal 1:00 start. >> Hey, Gumpy, this loser is not used to. being on the road, is he? >> Wake up. >> Come on, bro. M [laughter]. >> dogs baby feud. >> I'll tell you this this particular trip.

uh this particular season. >> exactly. >> has been a lot of Pacific time, central. time, not a lot of Eastern time at home. in Eastern time trying to figure out. when is when and what is what has been. quite an obstacle. But what a football. tour here. Week nine Bills Josh Allen. Minnesota Vikings were on the call on. ESPN 2. That's crazy. So, let's go to. the number two headline coming out of. this weekend. Now, normally we keep it. all NFL, okay? Cuz this is an NFL top. five, top five, top five. Have to tip. the hat to what college football has. been doing. Y. >> we all looked at November 7th as the.

Saturday in college football. Separation. Saturday, Reese Davis deemed it a. college game day open. I thought that. was a brilliant way to describe it. Who. we thought was who we thought comes in. and maybe is completely not. And then. the teams that we uh had a little bit of. hope for I think cemented a conversation. case that yeah they are probably going. to be around in the end. We absolutely. love that Notre Dame got a huge win at. home there. >> Must win for them. >> Yeah. Must win. >> Not a must win for Miami. >> No. >> No. >> Must win for Notre Dame. Felt like that.

was probably going to happen. Okay. That's why I uh as I was picking Miami. basically most of that show you hear the. way I'm talking. >> I'm Miami Miami. And then as it started. kind of settling in and you're talking. to some people that are side stage that. are associated with Notre Dame maybe and. uh you see Pete Pavqua and he's like I. haven't slept in like two days. Yeah. It's like oh okay this is this is of. massive importance here around here. Everybody felt the urgency. Everybody. was all in. Felt like that was a nice.

case for a win. Like it it felt like you. can experience that type of stuff in. college football more than any other. sport where you can kind of get a handle. on how the vibes are. Notre Dame was. special. Yeah, that was really cool to. be a part of. Very thankful for them. Now, in real time, I thought that guy. caught that ball. >> Yeah, kind of looked like it. >> I mean, I thought that was a touchdown. You asked me. >> You asked me like multiple times live in. real time. I'm there with Gumpy. Obviously, it's like that's a touchdown. Feels like that's a touchdown there. Instead, you know, you got to complete. the catch. You got to do an athletic.

move. We're in year 2026. We still don't. 100% know. Oh, I mean it felt like he. could if he was on the sideline there. and it wasn't a touchdown. >> You know, are they calling that a catch? >> You know, whatever the case, Chris and. the boys are pissed. I guess by the. letter of the law, you could say that's. not a catch. Uh but I think others who. actually have to enforce said letters of. law said that is a catch. So, this is. football in a nutshell. Game was. awesome. Shout to Miami showing massive. fight there without Malachi Tony going. into a very hostile environment. But.

Notre Dame gets a win that they've been. waiting for since Poptart Bowl last. year. Yes, >> I mean that was a ticket punching. operation there and it was very very. surreal to be there in real time as it. was happening. Shout out to everybody. for the hospitality. But it wasn't just. Notre Dame. >> Oh, >> I mean Georgia says hi. We're the best. team in bowl. >> their defense. >> Miss and Trinidad have not really lost. at home. Miss tough place to play. Gunnar Stockton comes in. Their defense. dominates and that's two huge win. They. beat Bama in Bama. They go into Old. Miss, beat Miss. It's like Georgia and I.

picked against them. I thought Miss was. going to win. And I thought Gunner. Stockton and the boys weren't able to be. consistent enough. Who had they really. beat? Well, they beat Bama. What do I. think about Bama? Well, I just picked. LSU to beat Bama. It's like, yeah, right. >> Bama pounded LSU, too. It's like these. teams that we have a glimmer of hope. for. I think on Saturday, a huge hammer. came through and said you should really. like a few of these squads. Tony, is. that how you saw it this Saturday or. what are your thoughts on uh how. everything sh. >> Yeah. >> I mean, what they did to Will Stein and. Kentucky, we hadn't seen. I broke down. an entire film about he's eligible, he's.

ineligible. Will Stein is drawing up. wide open plays and this Tennessee. defense said I don't think so and. dominated them and kneeling in front of. a blackout which I don't think I knew. was happening down there whenever I was. making this pick but there were some. teams across the board that said hey. we're for real and then there were some. teams that said hey we're not dead. either John which was a huge part of the. college football weekend. >> yeah I mean it was called separation. Saturday for a reason cuz everyone did. separate themselves a bit yeah you. Tennessee here the number one sack team. in the country now they they lost. Weathersby for the season which will be.

tough for them but they can play. defense, they can run the football, which is always going to travel. Speaking of playing defense and running. the football, UCLA went on the road and. won a big one. It's hard to see them not. making the playoff now unless they. totally collapse. Um they def threw a. bunch of deep balls. They played their. top 10 and run defense and running the. ball. They kind of separated themselves. in this situation. Iowa did the same. thing going on the road to Northwestern. Um you know, Hank Brown I think is. finally, you know, like settling into. the offense. Um, Tony Diaz is an.

absolute animal, but when you look at. it, like there was a lot of blowouts in. the in these situations, which truly. like Bama put it to LSU. Like Bama. looked really really good. Everyone was. questioning them about the number five. seed. They went on the road, put it on. them. Keelin Russell was one of the best. in the country and having Ryan Coleman. Williams back is absurd. There was a lot. of great games uh on Sat or on Saturday. and Utah beating BYU to start the day in. an unbelievable game. like that that was. just it was a great Saturday and there. was a lot of teams we'll see in the. rankings tomorrow that separated.

themselves in this situation. >> Yeah. CFP's second rankings come out. tomorrow night. We will be talking to. executive chair of the college football. playoff committee. Uh Lieutenant General. Clark will be joining us at 105. tomorrow. >> Hell yeah. >> Okay. So, let's get all our questions. right. >> Okay. 105 tomorrow. I believe they'll be. in the middle of making the selections. at that particular point for tomorrow. night. But I don't know how they're. going to figure out who's who. And maybe. they just judge off of what happened. this weekend, saying these are the real.

teams. And then that means you got to. talk about Oregon in a huge way. >> Offensive coordinator for Oregon right. now, Jay Johnson. Guy was fired from. Wyoming last year cuz he stunk as an. offensive coordinator. Wyoming. This guy. got fired in the middle of the season. last year as an offensive coordinator. Wyoming. Get this guy the hell out of. here. Can't do it. Goes to Oregon as. like quarterback coach or whatever. They. fire offensive coordinator. He's now. off. They handle Ohio State. Dylan. Riyola plays his best game he's played. as a college football player by far. I I.

mean it's Oregon not dead. Have a path. to the Big 10 championship. Have a path. into the college football playoff. And. we definitely wrote them off with how. asked they were at the beginning of this. season. Joining us now is a man who. might have a thought on what Oregon did. and how they did it. >> Ladies and gentlemen, college football, national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner, Ohio State Buckeye. legend and hero AJ Hawk. All right, >> how you doing? >> I'm doing pretty good. You know, obviously not the uh not the outcome we. wanted here in Columbus, that's for.

sure. >> Uh yeah, I'd say not the outcome you. were looking for or wanted, but not the. outcome any of us predicted, brother. That was Ohio State's first home game in. a long time. Oregon had been beat up. Ryola had not had much success as a. quarterback for Oregon or for Nebraska. in this entire thing. Oregon team, all. those guys could have quit. They're all. making a bunch of money. They all could. have said, "Hey, you know what? We're. opting into next year as opposed to this. year." They still have everything in. front of them, but we thought they had. no chance to get it with how bad it. started. And then for the Ohio State. Buckeyes, we assume Matt Patricia is.

going to cook Ryola. We assume Arty. Smith's going to be able to figure out. how to use true freshman and fee and get. the ball to Jeremiah Smith and instead. all we see is Brutus the Buckeye walking. out of that game early on the entire. team. AJ, it was a surprise for all of. us what happened. I couldn't imagine how. Ohio State Buckeye fans are feeling on. this day. Actually, AJ, >> yeah, I'd say it's uh the dobber is down. for the majority of the Ohio State fan. base right now. I guess technically. we're not 100% out of it. There is a. slight chance they could make the.

playoffs. Obviously, they need some help. from some other teams and have to win. the last three. But yeah, going up 14. nothing the first quarter and then. seeing how the first half ended for. anyone that watched this thing like it. was a brutal ending of the first half. for Ohio State. This fake punt was kind. of what flipped the game, I think. Great. execution by these guys to be honest. with you. to throwing a jump pass and. completing that and everything like. credit to Oregon for that. But yeah, Ohio State is uh trying to figure out I. guess where they go from here right now. >> Uh did you you conveniently didn't talk. about Brutus exiting stage left game.

still going? >> I assume there's some kind of I assume. it was a medical emergency or something. Brutus wouldn't just take off like this. Something. >> he looked okay. or something pizzazz in that swing. >> He literally did bushwhackers walk the. hell out of there. >> Oh no. >> Yeah. I I don't. >> That's not a poop walk. >> That's a confident I'm out of here walk. >> That's a This stinks walk. >> Is this a $50 million roster? I know. they lost 10 first rounders off the. defense last year, but I mean, come on. Offensively, you got a backup. quarterback. Defensively, what's going. on? Have you talked to Bobby Carpenter?

What's going on? >> Uh I I have not gotten a chance to talk. to Bobby yet about it. I know he'll get. the boys all all squared away, [laughter] but yeah, I don't know. But. to be honest with you, I mean, that's. the thing. The last couple games giving. up a ton of points. this Ohio State. defense. We know the great players they. lost, but I don't know. It's one of. those things, like I've said before, hey, when it rains, it pours. It's like. everything that could go wrong continues. to go wrong in a game like this and. Oregon just really, really put it to. them. And it was uh it was a tough one. to watch. No question, >> man. You go back to that Texas game, they give that one away.

>> Just completely give that one away. Now. you have three losses and it's like, >> shout out Julian S. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Julian S might be a really good. player and a good a really good leader. and everything like that. AJ, we talked. about the first four of the top five, college football being one of them. Your. Packers have made the conversation a. couple different times. How do you feel. about this Ganon defense? That's going. to really get you a little uh maybe. zipper burn because they're everywhere. and Micah still has yet to join them, pal. >> Yeah, it's great to see like when um.

when you don't have a guy that can. change the game for every like change. the game plan for every offense you face. like Micah isn't even in there yet. And. the fact that like these guys how. they're playing, I mean Drake May. obviously was being harassed all night. the the back end plays very very well. and I mean the defense is awesome but. Jordan Love, how fun is it to watch this. guy push the ball down the field like. he's not dinking and dunking and he's. also like he's very he's very athletic. too. His weird arm angles he throws from. like different platforms. He definitely. has a little Aaron Rogers in him with. his footwork and everything he does.

It's it's cool to see. But um yeah, Packers are playing well when it matters. the most, I think. And there was times. early in the season I think some people. may have uh written this team off, but I. think they're just starting to hit their. stride. Hey, you know, you draft a wide. receiver in the first round. There's. there's little subtle differences. between those guys and everybody else. What has Golden done to that offense. with him and Love getting on the same. page? >> Yeah, he just I mean he early on, especially when Christian Watson like he. was kind of he was the target that you. know he he really needed to go to him. and and that's the one thing Jordan Love.

I mentioned it earlier Golden has had a. bunch of drops this year but Jordan Love. has confidence into him just he. continues to go back to him and then you. see like he's a burner. he can get. behind your defense at any time. Uh him. and Golden on or I mean, excuse me, him. and Watson on the field at the same. time. Like I don't know how teams cover. him. It's kind of like a pick your. poison situation. So yeah, I mean a lot. of people had stuff to say about him. last year cuz the production wasn't. really there and he played great in the. playoffs against the Bears and then now. this year you're kind of seeing, oh.

yeah, this guy was a first round pick. for a reason. He's unbelievable. >> Do you guys have a one left or no? Cuz. Micah, >> no. I was about to say you guys get a. running back over there. AJ, you know. >> too late, right? Caleb Johnson, >> he's a guy, [laughter] right? >> Hey, actually playing. >> for real. >> Had his first career touchdown. yesterday. >> He's probably going to start getting fed. a little bit more. >> Steeler legend. Yeah. >> Yeah, we did love in Pittsburgh. He was. fantastic every once in a while. Now for. the Green Bay Packers going to have to. be a pretty key part down the stretch. AJ, you talked about Jordan Love.

throwing it deep. I was told if you. can't run the ball, you can't throw it. deep. Now I see Joe Burrow and Green Bay. Packers spinning it all over the yard. Do we think we are in the middle of a. transition of defenses right now where. shots might be taken a little bit more? >> Uh yeah, I mean I think so. I think when. you have quarterbacks that are, you. know, a cut above some of the other. quarterbacks in the NFL, they have like. pinpoint accuracy and their timing, like. when you watch Joe Burrow throw the guy, he is just absolutely in the zone. Look. at that right there. And like when how. quick they get rid of the ball and how. decisive they are too is what has been.

impressive to me for guys like Joe. Burrow and and Love like it's uh and. when you have some dynamic play makers. on the outside I would say that helps a. little bit. >> Yeah. Watson and Golden Higgins and. Chase. Chase made some absurd catches. Felt like he and we should have known. Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase in Spain. >> Yeah. They love Spain. >> Yeah. They they international ads. >> Yeah. Celebrations planned the matador. and then Burrow doing whatever this. thing was. >> Yeah. And then yeah, what was that? >> What was that thing? >> Some soccer players. Southern I think it.

might have been demonic. >> What? >> What? >> Yeah. >> Tony [laughter]. Tony. Tony. I don't think that's Tony. >> That's the bull's horns. >> We got a big match up on Sunday night. It's. >> started cuz that's this cuz T. Higgins. did the bull's horns. >> Yeah, but that's a different type of. bull. >> Yeah, that's those are the bulls and. pamp. >> Maybe it's like a Rocky and Bullwinkle. type thing. >> I mean, there's a lot of things it could. be. We have no idea, but we do know it's. them celebrating a lot in Spain, which. we could have expected. But the. conversation continues to be, can you.

win games like this? Is this how you're. going to be able to win a Super Bowl? There's been multiple people now that. have come out and said, you know what, the Bengals will be the ones that uh do. what none of us in football have ever. thought to be able to be capable of, but. they continue to do it. I think they're. only proving everybody's point. Like, yeah, this might be a little bit. different. And the Cincinnati Bengals, shout out to them, duking them over. there, they built this team saying, "This is how we're going to do it." And. everybody said you can't win that way, including us. We got I don't know. I've. I've been around 39 years for as long as. I have memories. Now, I grew up in.

Pittsburgh, so it's a little different, but you got to be able to run the ball. I I mean that you you have to be able to. run the ball whenever it matters. And. then people start saying that the. Bengals actually might be able to do it. without it. It does feel like every week. you watch it, it's like, well, who the. [ __ ] going to stop these who's going. to stop these guys? I I have no idea. unless you get pressure on the. quarterback. >> Like AJ said, and like you just said, the philosophy starts from the top. How. are we going to build this team? what. guys are we going to pay? And if you. have the players and you're putting them. in position to succeed, like you have. two franchise quarterbacks getting paid, you know, 50 million plus. You have two. elite wide receivers and then two groups.

of elite elite wide receivers, right? Two first round picks and I believe two. second round picks. If Watson and T. Higgins were both second round picks, but they're both number ones on this. level. So, as a defense, you got to come. in. AJ knows on Wednesday, we say, "Okay, this these guys are the game. records. Let's take away these guys.". But apparently defenses aren't able to. take them away. And when these. quarterbacks can process and say, "Okay, where are you putting your extra guy? I'm going to the other guy." Then if. you're going to blitz, okay, that's one. more match up for my third guy. Maybe. that's Gaseki, maybe that's Williams, and these guys are accurate. They're.

throwing the ball now. Playoff football, you're going to be dealing with. elements. These are two outdoor teams. So, let's say they have homefield. advantage that may play against you in. this situation. But, I mean, we shall. see. The Packers, I think, are in a much. better situation. in the sports book. don't agree with it, but with Micah. coming back, the defense, how much how. well they play, how how much they turn. you over on the defensive side of the. ball. I mean, that's where I would lean. if one if I had to pick out of one of. these teams, but both of these. quarterbacks are playing at MVP level. >> Fun to watch, too. Shout out to Spain. getting that. And uh Joe and Jamar are.

great international faces of football. Oh yeah. >> So, as it was just like whenever Aaron. goes overseas, >> let's assume Aaron's going to do well, okay? He wants to be uh revered as an. international guy. >> Yeah. and a mystery. >> and I believe. >> I don't know. >> what's that. >> what. >> what were you going to say. >> I think his significant other is. >> right. >> an international last. >> right yeah. >> so would like to do well whenever you. travel over there it's like Joe and. Jamar do a lot of international travel. in the offseason it's nice to get wins.

in front of the people that you're going. to see in the offseason we got to think. about those things with these. international games who's going to want. to be internationally respected more Joe. Burrow and Jamar Chase were certainly at. the top of that list. >> another guy too Who? >> Nobody's for Trevor Lawrence. Like they. play a bunch of international games that. he I don't know what is he top five in. MVP race right now. He's playing. unbelievable. Their defense playing. unbelievable and they just got better. >> So and Trevor certainly I mean he hasn't. yet but he could be walking in those. fashion weeks with that. Oh yeah. >> The hair.

>> Yeah. That hair that jawline. >> He loves to ball too much. >> He's very good at football. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Liam Cohen unbelievable leader. Let's get to the number one headline, shall we? AJ, you're going to love this. one. It's a massive Monday night. Obviously, that's a huge deal. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> But ladies and gentlemen, we are on. trade deadline eve here. >> We are deadline dancing. Tonight's game. has massive implications on the. deadline. I think Carson Wentz plays. good. Carson Wentz potentially has this. job here in Minnesota. Congratulations.

You're on a one loss team heading into. the back half of the season. You can. maybe win the Super Bowl this year. Way. to go, Carson. Parson doesn't play well. and the Buffalo Bills led by Jim Leonard. and the boys have the best night of. their lives or whatever the case is or. have play very well then all of a sudden. it's like by four o'clock tomorrow are. the Minnesota Vikings trading for a. starting quarterback. If you trade for a. starting quarterback that obviously has. huge ramifications at the place that the. other place the other quarterback was. at. So there's a lot on the line. tonight. There's also a lot on the line. across the board. AJ, uh let's start.

with Monday night being about a gigantic. ordeal. I don't know if you know this. favorites went crazy. I did well. Hey, this is the best. weekend I've done picking NFL games. I. went 10 and three or something like. that. >> Hell yeah. >> Wow. >> Yeah. I I mean, favorites win. I'm. pretty simple animal. [laughter]. I'm pretty simple creature. Uh AJ, I do. get to win over you this week. So, if. you want to do one last ceremonial pick. for tonight's game, Bills favored by.

three here in Minnesota, 44 a 12. overunder. Who do you like? How do you. like them, AJ? >> You know how I feel about this Buffalo. Bills team. I've been on their bandwagon. since last year. Really? Um, I love the. Vikings defense and what they do. I'm. curious to see how Carson Wentz plays, but give me the Buffalo Bills on the. road tonight. >> Okay, I like that. AJ, we love you, brother. We'll see you tomorrow. Appreciate you. Oh, hey, tell the people. in Columbus it's going to be okay. >> Maybe not. >> Dude, Ryan Day right back in the hot. seat. This guy. >> Oh, yeah. >> just won a national championship.

>> Remember Michigan game, they lose. >> 24/7 police presence at his house. >> Ohio says, "Get this guy the hell out of. here." He wins national championship. >> Oh, Ryan Day's got a job for life here. Just like those of the past. Trestle, Urban Meyer, go all the way back. He won. a national championship. had Urban Meyer. and Jim Trestle coming out saying this. is the best roster Ohio State's ever. had. >> Yeah, that was great. >> Jeez Louise, if we had this roster, I. [laughter] mean, 10 straight national. champ kind of how it was being chatted.

about with Ryan Day. He wins a national. championship, checks the box, everybody. thinks he's all right. Last year, they. almost go on a run, they don't. Oh no, what's going to happen? This year, lose. three games, still got something left. >> Is this guy the right guy to be a. Buckeyes head coach? It's crazy. >> Oh yeah. College football is the. craziest world of all time and Ryan. Dej's got to live in that. And RD Smith. went from the NFL to sign up to get into. that and I don't know if they like him. too much. >> I don't like I bet you they don't. >> That's tough. You got to really love the.

pressure cooker if you want to go take. one of these jobs. Like love. What about. Lane down at LSU? >> Oh man. >> But he had all. >> he's supposed to win that didn't they. bring him there to win the big games? >> No, they brought him in to walk with. like to walk with Angel. They brought. him in for swag. He He actually has. never won a big game is what a lot of. people are saying right now. >> Hold on. Kevin Coer was there too. Everybody. Yeah. In the tightest white. pants you ever seen. >> Yeah. For good reason. You know what. he's been up to? He's been clearly on. the treadmill.

>> Kyle Whittingham doesn't wish he would. have stayed in Salt Lake City. >> or retired in Salt Lake City. >> Hey, that Utah team now without Kyle. Whittingham. >> Yeah. Yeah. Uh. >> oh. Dell this guy do. >> All right, let's go. Let's move along. Let's get back to the NFL tonight. Monday Night Football wraps up week nine. of the NFL season. And then tomorrow. when we wake up, holy hell, a brand new. league could be taking place. Oh, >> is Jonathan Taylor a Colt? Is Daniel. Jones a cult? How about Josh Dons? Did. we know Jesse Bates was available in the.

trade deadline? The Jacksonville Jaguars. get JB3 this morning. >> Huge move. >> Joining us now is a man who knows it. all, senior NFL insider for ESPN and NFL. Network, Adam Shar. Hold there, gentlemen. What's going on? >> Hey, how are you? I just punched the. hell out of this desk. Sounded. >> I don't know if you want to give an. update. Cracked [laughter] middle finger. knuckle. Um, life is good here. This. stadium is beautiful. I I assume you've. been here before. It is gorgeous. You. know, this isn't um this isn't glass.

It's ETF or something like that. >> Okay. Carbon fiber. >> Yeah. So, it lets sick. It lets. obviously daylight and sunlight into. here. But with the slope that it's at, the snow whenever it comes is able to. fall off. So you feel like you're. outside, but you're actually inside cuz. Minnesota can get the -20-30. as Big John would say. Every once in a. while it gets a little chilly out here. This place is gorgeous. Chefy tonight, Monday Night Football. We'll talk about. updates for that at the end of this, but. let's do tomorrow. Hey, trade deadline. has finally got here. We've been talking.

about it for weeks. There's been moves. happening. Quarterbacks have been. traded. Obviously, Jacobe ends up at. Baltimore. JJ McCarthy out of here to. the New York Giants. We've had D lineman. traded for two ones and a four. Another. one traded for just a four. And then. this morning, we had Jesse Bates traded. from the Atlanta Falcons to the. Jacksonville Jaguars. That's a gigantic, star-studded, blockbuster move for the. Jags. Anything else we're expecting. today or is everything going to get. pushed off until tomorrow, Chefty? >> Well, let me say this, Pat. Uh again, I. know everybody wants big moves and big.

trades and each of the last two years we. had 18 trades from basically October 1st. to the trade deadline. Right now we're. on nine, but I want to give you the nine. names because I think that they're. interesting and notable have been traded. before we go on to the players to watch. We have Jesse Bates today, Kobe Brassette last week, Jeffrey. Simmons, DeForest Buckner, Quinton. Nelson, Marvin Harrison, Cam Jurgens, Joy Porter Jr., JJ McCarthy. Like that. is a star-studded list. That is one,

two, three, four, five, six, by my count, at least six players. who were first round picks at one point. in time. Some players who will go to the. Hall of Fame. There have been nine. trades made already since September. Now, now is where I think it gets. interesting. Um, you can put up those. names of players to watch again right. now. Josh DS. The Colts have an offer of at. least a four for him right now. I I.

don't know why they wouldn't move him at. this point in time. Jonathan Taylor is a. really interesting one because they. could try to put the genie back in the. bottle and delay that until the off. season to try to trade him, but there's. been so much discussion and there have. been teams that expressed interest, but. it has not been the offer that the Colts. wanted. Can you realistically I guess. you can you could bring them back on on. Wednesday. >> Yeah, we're we're going to need a one. I. And I'm not talking for the building.

The building has not asked me for any. advice. I don't love that the building. has the same person working on. rebuilding the building that was a part. of putting the building in the spot that. it's in right now. But I do have faith. in others that are in that building and. have been in that building for a long. time. If they're being listened to, that'll be interesting. But I have faith. that Carly will be able to figure that. out. There's no way we're trading. Jonathan Taylor without a one. Especially with everything that's coming. out about Jesse Bates, what he just gets. traded for right there. The forest. Buckner went for a four. Okay, a four.

The next day, same position. Two ones and a four. Literally the next day. Put a halt to. some things here. Everybody say, "What. is anybody worth if this is the case?". We need a one for Jonathan Taylor. That. That's the most obvious thing I would. assume is happening behind closed doors. Heard the Giants offered a second and a. fifth. Is that what they offered for. Jeffrey Simmons whenever John Harbaugh. called owner of Tennessee Titans and. said, "Hey, this is all we got in this. entire thing." I don't know, but going. to need a one, Chefty. So, you need to I. would guess we're going to need a one.

>> Giants offered a two, a five, and a. player. I don't know the player, but it. was a two, a five, and a player for. Jonathan Taylor, and they said no. >> Going to need a one, bro. That that is. uh we don't have a one. Like, that is. very obvious what we need. And uh I know. everybody's doing the Christian. McCaffrey comp and all that other stuff. It's like were they in a position where. they didn't have a one and they might be. the second overall pick at the end of. the year earning all this crap for the. Jets that's happening right now. >> I don't know. So I would assume that's. what the Colts are waiting on. That. would be gigantic. Now Colts also told.

Daniel Jones allegedly that they would. not be trading him. Is that a lot of. dependent upon what happens tonight? >> I I think that's the plan that they. don't want to trade him. Um, and again, what what's interesting, whether it's. Daniel Jones, Jonathan Taylor, you pick. a player, any team, like there are a lot. of teams saying, "We're not going to. trade this guy. We're not going to trade. that guy." And and most most of them are. going to be right. Like, they're not. planning to trade them. The question is, you know, the Titans weren't planning to. trade Jeffrey Simmons, and then they. did. So, what happens if and when a team.

steps up and all of a sudden makes an. offer for one of these players that they. can't turn down? if that happens, right? Like Brian Thomas right now, Jaguars. don't plan to trade him. They don't plan. to trade him. Is there going to be a. team that steps up here in the next 24. plus hours and says, "Hey, we're going. to give you something that you can't say. no to." Um, it doesn't sound like that. right now, but we have until tomorrow. The Chargers have told everybody,

whoever calls, we're not trading our. guys. You know, we we we want to try to. keep winning. They haven't won a game. yet. >> Yeah. >> I you know, I don't understand with a. player like Khalil Mack. He's on an. expiring contract. They love him as a. guy, a leader, all I get all that. But. at 0 and8, why would we not take back a. nice pick for that guy and let him go. finish the season on a team that's going. to compete for a Super Bowl like that? And so, they've been adamant on that. stance all along. Are they going to. change that between now and tomorrow? I.

doesn't It hasn't sounded like that. But. maybe a team can change their mind. Buddha Baker, similar thing. Cardinals. don't want to trade him. Been a great. player for so long. Like, I'd love to. see that guy, you know, finish his. career or this season with a playoff. contender with a chance to go make some. playoff noise. Jets keep telling. everybody, "We're not trading Bree. Hall." Um Josh Sweat, maybe it would. take the right offer. Jade Devian. Clowney, go get if you want. Uh that. that that's the deal. Now again, you.

mentioned you hadn't heard anything. about Jesse Bates and so that that's the. interesting part too, like does a name. come out of nowhere that people weren't. expecting? Um, that could happen too. It. it's and I remember at this time last. year going into Monday, I'm thinking, okay, well, we may get Jacobe Myers. traded tomorrow and he was traded to. from the Raiders to to Jacksonville. Um, and then all of a sudden in the. afternoon, you remember I was driving up. to Bristol and he hit me on the phone. and then I was that was a drive that I.

won't forget in my life. Like it was. overwhelming. And so we are we going to. get that tomorrow? I I don't think so. right now. I don't think so. But I. didn't think that last year and we did. >> You would have never known then. And. Jesse Bates comes out of nowhere. There. could be teams operating out of the. insiders world, which would be wild. because the amount of agents involved, teams involved, new homes involved, even. travel plans, what type of business and. what part of the company that leads to. A lot of potential chance for leaks. Ian.

Raport reported that Will McDonald IV. has informed the team that he wants to. be traded. Say McDonald has played. sparingly this season, is extremely. frustrated with his usage. The former. firstrounder wants more opportunities. and the team is aware. Good luck to Will. McDonald. Let's talk about another guy. might be frustrated with his. opportunities and could be quite a. weapon for a lot of teams that are. looking for wide receiver. Tone Diggs. has a question for you, Shifty. >> Yeah, Shifty, a lot of the trade talk. feels like it's around uh expiring. contracts and I believe a franchise tag. would be an an expiring contract. So, I.

wanted to ask about George Pickkins who. did not play yesterday due to injury. Um, you know, they've talked about not. extending him during the season at all. They have other highlighted players. Is. is George I I haven't seen him on any. lists or anything like that you've put. out or any stories. Uh, but is George. Pickin someone that could definitely uh. get traded maybe potentially tomorrow or. today? >> He has a hamstring injury. I mean, that. is a real deal. And I am not expecting. him to get traded. Now, again, I wasn't. expecting Quinnon Williams and Sus. Gardner to be traded last year. They.

were. So, I I recognize there are no. absolutes at this time of the year. Anything's always possible, but having. asked about George Pickkins, I have. never gotten any indication um that he. is being shopped or traded or anything's. happening there. We'll see if that is a. bluff, but I I I believe that he'll be. in Dallas at 4:01 Eastern Tuesday. afternoon. >> All right, 401 Eastern. There's another. name that just popped on after some. struggles. Go ahead, Con Man. Yeah, chef. D. I was talking about Derrick Henry who. was pretty loud after they lost and kind.

of got crushed on Thursday Night. Football and he seemingly is one of. those guys that could be moved like a. Jonathan Taylor. What is the latest. there? Is there anything there? Are they. definitely going to keep him and he's. not going to reunite with either the. Giants or the Patriots because of the. connections to Derrick Henry as far as. Rabel and Harbaugh? >> There have been multiple teams that have. reached out to the Ravens. There were. multiple teams that reached out to the. Ravens even this weekend um asking if. there was a way to pry loose Derrick. Henry. Every one of the teams that.

called was informed, we're not trading. the guy. Now again, does one of them. come back and say, "Okay, we're going to. give you this offer and Baltimore's. like, whoa, hold on. You're going to. give us what?" And then they reconsider. again. I guess that always could happen, but that's not what I'm expecting. That's not what I've been told. I've. been told Baltimore has no intention of. trading Derrick Henry. I think they've. conveyed that message to him and they've. told him that he's not going to be. traded. I'm not looking for Baltimore to. deal Derrick Henry. I'm not looking for.

the Jets to deal Bruce Hall. I'm not. looking for the Eagles to deal Saquon. Barkley. Now, does anybody offer something to. change the mind? Like, there have been. teams that have called around on running. backs. >> So, maybe one of them steps up and offer. at the last moment. >> I'll tell you what, Tampa Bay might win. the NFC South. You need a running back that you think. you can win a Super Bowl with. >> You're calling for Bucky Irving. immediately. >> He's good. >> Unbelievable. Obviously, he's off limits. just like DeForest Buckner was off.

limits. Quinton Nelson was off limits. >> available. >> for not a lot in comparison to what. everybody else is saying. >> Contracts. >> Uh let's talk about a wide receiver that. got injured yesterday and obviously it's. a huge piece of the puzzle in Los. Angeles. Go ahead Deb. >> Yeah, talk about all pro. Obviously, he's a huge, huge part of that Rams. offense. He got an injury. I know he was. getting MRI. Any update on that. situation? >> I was told it's not his ACL. He's going. to have the MRI today. Uh they felt. pretty good about that, but he was.

limping and so there is some sort of. injury to the knee. They'll determine. exactly what that is today. And. obviously, you know, they they lost. Devonte Adams. and on Friday they. thought they were getting back Terrence. Ferguson this weekend the tight end. um and he he hurt his hamstring on a. route by couple of weeks minimum on. Terrence Ferguson. So. >> if they were to lose Nua now. >> they're going to be a little bit light.

there at receiver for the next couple of. weeks here until they can get back Puka. or Devonte or Ferguson. Um, but yeah, it. sounds like, you know, Puka, we'll see. what the tests say. Hopefully, it's not. bad. >> Yeah, hopefully it's not bad. Puka Naku. is incredibly tough. Takes a lot of. shots. I I mean, he gets hit literally. all the time. Wide receiver could be a. big position that gets traded before. tomorrow's deadline in about 28 hours. from now. There's a wide receiver that. entered back into the fold out of. nowhere with Rosen House. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Shye, do you have any update on.

how that meeting went with uh Rosenhouse. and Aayuk and the Niners? I I saw that, you know, Rosen House kind of took a a. Sprinter van back to a like a Dunkin. Donuts or something like 5 minutes after. they got there. So, I assume it didn't. go well, but uh do you have any more in. information on that? [laughter]. >> I I didn't get any of the specifics. about the meeting. I I think my guess is. something could happen after the trade. deadline. Um obviously, the money is at. the root of all this uh with the money. that the 49ers feel like they're owed.

from Brandon Aayuk. Um, yeah, that was. that was reminiscent. I happened to be. in the driveway, Tio's driveway in. Morristown, New Jersey, uh, when Drew. held that press conference and said, "Next question, next qu I was there, uh, covering it for NFL Network at the. time." And and this had that sort of. feel, but um, not as uh, you know, Drew's a little older, more mature. Um, >> Americano. Sure. I don't need Exactly.

Exactly. Exactly. So, they had their. little press deal. Look, you know, Brandon Hayek wants to go play. We'll. see if and when that could happen. I. think there'll be some interest in the. league about him, but they're going to. have to resolve this with the Niners. right now. And that that doesn't seem. close right now. >> And what do we know? We know he owes $13. million or something like that cuz he. didn't show up and guaranteed contract. portion that he had been paid as signing. bonus. So, he owes them $13 million. Obviously, everything that's happened on. social media, people are going to want. to know if he's okay, how he is. And. that $13 million, you're going to have.

to wash dishes to pay off the bill. I I. don't know how you go about doing that. Hopefully, that's a lot of money. That's. fluid, too. So, like, >> you talk about taxes, especially in. California, that's probably like $20. million in cash. >> cuz after tax is 13 million. So, everybody reports what like is owed. For. instance, these kicks where these kids. are making a million bucks. That's cash. going out. So, to get that cash after. taxing, obviously that's like $1.75. million. Actually, shout out to Milano. lying right to my face making a big time. kick and the leprechaun. Loved the whole.

entire moment there, but that's a lot of. money. Oh, yeah. To be going out of uh. somebody's pocket to get back into the. league just in general. >> Show up the treatment, guys. >> Need you. >> Need you there. >> Can't be for that. >> Uh, anything we need tonight? Anything. we need to know tonight as we come up on. a hard out here in about a minute? >> Uh, well, let me give you a couple other. things. Uh, moments ago, Andy Reid said. that Patrick Mahomes is going to be. dayto-day. The news was more encouraging. than they thought. So, it sounds like. Mahomes should be good to go. Mike. McDonald has ruled out Sam Darnold for.

Sunday's game against the Raiders and. they feel like Drew Lock should be able. to go. JJ McCarthy underwent an MRI this. morning, hip pointer, but the Giants. feel like he should be good to go on. Thursday night against the Washington. Commanders. I think those are the. quarterback updates that you need to. know. And obviously tonight you're in. Minnesota, you'll see a great game. Hopefully that's enough time for your. heart out right there. >> You're the absolute best. Bill is. favored by three. We're live on ESPN 2. That's Adam Shfter on ESPN all damn day. every damn day. As senior NFL insider,

we appreciate you, Adam. Chefy. >> Hey, Sheffy. I heard they're really. upset in Michigan, buddy. >> They're really upset there. All right, we'll get to a break. [music] Hour two. will be on the other side. Cannot wait. to catch up with Dan Lovski live in. person with all the lads before our. field pass tonight on ESPN [music] 2. with special surprise guests. It's an. honor to be here. It's an honor to be. alive. We'll see you on the other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice. >> Shout out to Home Depot. Shout out to. Notre Dame. and shout to the kicking is. easy contest because we've had legends.

join us. Kirk, >> I mean. >> Joe Montana. legend. >> Are you kidding? >> You and the guy. >> Thank you. Our kicker today who won the. raffle is a man named Michael Milano. Michael, how you doing? What year are. you here at school? >> I'm a junior here. >> Okay. What's your major, brother? >> I'm premed. >> Have you ever kicked anything before, Michael? >> Never. I've never kicked anything. >> You have cleats on here. >> These are my roommates. We got clemates. cleats have never kicked before. >> Before we get to your kick, Michael, I.

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

>> Leprechauni. [cheering]. >> There was one man who is a premed major. who had to sit and watch the leprechaun. just drain a $500,000 kick. Joe Montana. Yeah. >> What would your messaging be here to. fellow Paison as he attempts to kick. for1. million. dollar? >> You got it. Don't even think about it.

We can always blame the Holder. [laughter]. >> Please bring out the blockers for Milano. here. Eli to our face. Michael Irvin representing one of the. blockers. Gumpy representing one of the island. blockers to Miami Hurricane. legends. >> They're legends. >> Cancel off Michael Irvin who might be.

dancing on your brain and dancing on a. satellite. >> Gumpy's talking trash, dude. >> Gumpy. He's an ex ship painter from. Canada. Yeah, >> that guy wants to block your kick. >> Mr. for $1 million. [cheering]. [applause].

Yeah, let's have a couple jump. A couple. jump. Oh my god. What are we? >> Let's zero. Zero. Y. You did it. >> You did it.

>> FOOTBALL, >> YES, >> IS happening here. Monday Night. Football, week nine of the NFL season. wraps up with Josh Allen. Odds on. favorite, one of them to win the MVP and. the number one pointscoring offense. traveling in to take on a defense that. has been headline news. Carson Wentz is. now the starting quarterback for this. Minnesota Vikings team that only has one. loss. They were one of the last. undefeated teams around the entire. league and their offense had been more. deficient than any team basically in the. history of ball. They're saying this.

team's a rugby team offensively, but on. the defensive side, it's mental warfare. It's mental hell. They're getting the. rock. They're scoring. And the Vikings. might be the team that ends up climbing. Lombardi Mountain. Now they have Carson. Wentz back at quarterback. Will he be. the Carson Wentz that's great or will he. be the Carson Wentz experience that's. low? If he can manage this football. team, this Vikings team could. potentially win it all. But if he. crashes and fails and goes off the. tracks tonight, maybe the Vikings are. looking for a new quarterback before the. trade deadline tomorrow at 4 p.m. And on.

the other side, Josh Allen and the boys. Josh Allen's playing football. We assume. he's going to win. Him and Joe Brady. have uh been the bestest of pals since. Joe Brady has become the offensive. coordinator for the Bills. Now he's the. head coach and the lads are buzzing. the. defense getting better and the offensive. line for the Bills might be the biggest. part of this entire game because the. defense from Flores is going to bring. it. Top three offensive line in the NFL. if you ask AQ Shipley and this Buffalo. Bills team. It's good on good, great on. great. It's Monday Night Football week. nine from Minnesota in a $ 1.1 billion.

stadium from about 10 years ago. >> If you look at it, you think it's like. three, four, five, six billion. How nice. it is. They keep it very clinging. And. tonight should be an opt absolute. spectacle with the row thing. >> Oh yeah. >> And the skull thing. >> It's a good place. It's a great time. And we got a great one tonight. The. toxic table was here at Boston Conor and. at Tai Schmidt. One half of the hammer. down. Cowboys AP Tony is here. Nine-year. NFL vet Darius J. Butler looking really. cool. >> Yes, sir. Thank you. Always. >> That's a cool look.

>> Thank you. So my quarterback. >> A good jumper. >> Jumper. It's not a jumper. >> You [ __ ]. >> He's not a toddler. No. Oh, what is it? >> Just a set. >> Romper. >> Set. Romper. >> Onesie. >> None of those things. Ladies and. gentlemen, it's Danoski. What's up, >> boys? >> Dan, we had a fantastic first hour going. through our top five. They are who we. thought they were. Yeah. 13-1 were the. favorites this weekend. Starting back to. Thursday. I think a lot of that can go. on. Uh the huge point spreads, good. teams taking on bad teams. You get it. Defense and special teams were dominant.

Watson, Golden, and Love up there in. Green Bay going crazy. And then the. number one story line is over deadline. dancing maybe tonight has huge. implications on what happens before four. o'clock tomorrow with the Minnesota. Vikings quarterback situation for you. Dano coming out of the weekend number. one story line is what Green Bay Packers. are now uh leaders in the clubhouse for. eye test for who can win a Super Bowl. after what they do to the Patriots or. how do you kind of take away from the. weekend in Europe? >> I do think a big takeaway is can. Cincinnati and Green Bay kind of be.

unicorns in football right now. Um, you. know, we're in an era where you have to. play quarterback underneath center. You. have to run the football. You have to. play with multiple tight ends. And. neither of them do that. Neither of both. of them just go, "Nope, we're going to. go in the shotgun. We're going to throw. the ball every play. Screw your tight. ends. We love our wide receivers and. we're just going to throw it all the. time." And their quarterbacks are just. playing out of their minds. Um, Jordan. Love, what Jordan Love, first of all, I. thought Matt Laflur was remarkable. yesterday with the way he attacked. certain coverages and certain people.

You know, I like the fact that they put. Golden on Gonzo a lot to the field and. said, "We actually like Golden on Gonzo. more than Watson on Gonzo." Um, the way. that they attacked the zero in the red. zone was tremendous. The play action. pass shots. >> And Jordan Love, I feel I don't know. I. I don't know the last time I saw a. quarterback say be break the mechanics. of football when it comes to like having. your feet set consistently and making. throws. I mean, I know Aaron was like. that, but I think Aaron was a lot more. >> not like this. >> Correct. like he he his feet are never.

set. They're drifting away and just. places the ball flawlessly. And um you. know, I think watching that team play uh. offensively is wild right now. I feel. the same about Cincinnati. I also would. tell you I think Green Bay's defense is. a lot closer to Minnesota's than people. thinks. >> uh just because the style of pressure. and um coverages that they play and the. the zone eyes that they play with. I. think Debbuck can speak to better like. >> I don't know if there's a ton of. structure in some of their coverages. where it's like players just be players.

and. >> you know read routes. >> pattern matching. >> Yeah. Tech concepts which is very like. very much so like Minnesota. >> Okay. So your tweet tried to tell y'all. has up over a million uh views at this. point. >> This is about this is about the Packers. This could be about anything. >> No no no. So. >> I tried to tell y'all Jesus Christ was. >> No. I said so I I uh during the week I. talked about Green Bay's defense to New. England and I was like it this is a. problem for New England. Uh their. offensive line's not picking up. pressures and stunts well. This is a.

defense that dominates in that. It. majors in that. Patriots fans were. mother effing me for the whole week. And. then I was like try to tell you guys the. great thing is I believe I sent that at. 6:37 p.m. And most of the replies are. from Bears fans getting mad at me even. though [laughter] it even though. >> Well, maybe if you added some context. there. Ah, that's your fault. >> Or just pay attention to the time that. it actually sent out. >> I was asking a lot of people to be. smart. >> Yeah. So, it had nothing to do, it. happened before the Bears game, so it. had nothing to do with Bears, Caleb,

anything like that. >> Okay. So, cuz a lot of people say. another classic Dano where it could be. about anything, but he certainly. subliminally telling something to. somebody, which we got your message loud. and clear, as did the Patriots whenever. that entire thing took place. You. mentioned the Bengals there. They go. over to Spain, kick off a wonderful day. of ball for us. I mean, it was a. spectacular Sunday. You talk about Joe. Burrow playing out of his mind. Is this. sustainable? You know, AJ Hawk has come. out and say, you know what, I think they. could debunk it. They could be it. Jamar. Chase going crazy. T. Higgins going.

crazy. Then you got uh obviously Giki. and Chase B. They have the chance to be. a uh greatest show on turf type offense. >> Is that going to be enough for them? Because the Packers defense I think a. little bit better than the Bengals. defense. So whenever you talk about that. style, I think better. >> a lot of bit. Yeah. So, are you going to. be able to win a Super Bowl like this? I. guess that's the only question now that. we have to have. And I hate that that is. what it always ends up being, but it. does feel like that is what it ends up. being. >> It's a fair question. Real quickly on. the the uh Green Bay thing, I also don't.

want them to change once Micah comes. back. Like don't don't just rush forward. just to rush for. I think that's a. really big thing to pay attention to. I. my natural response to the Cincinnati. Green Bay question, is it sustainable? Can you win the Super Bowl with it would. be no. Like that's my natural one just. because it's breaking the mold of. football. It's eventually you're going. to have to be able to in a January bad. weather game run the ball. Um but I do. think you can win a lot with it. I I if. I was Cincinnati, I'd be calling Indie.

today. What does it take to get Jonathan. Taylor? I firmly am in that camp right. now because you can't cover him. one-on-one. Cassiki owns the middle of. the field. Jamar was on one yesterday. I. love the way that they move Jamar. around. They don't just put him in one. spot. They move them all over the place. But if this team added Jonathan Taylor, then I think I would swing to Yep. they. can play their style and and go win the. whole thing. >> So, do you think it's like do you think. it's a Chase Brown problem? Do you think. >> No, no, no, no. I don't think I think. Chase Brown's a nice player with. >> But I'm saying like will they just. magically start running the ball if they. get Jonathan Taylor?

>> No. >> Who says their offensive line is a line. that's ready to run? >> No. Well, first, I think their right. tackle is still the best right tackle in. football. Mims is the best right tackle. in football. I don't think they're. dominant run offensive lineman. They are. good at protection. The reason I say the. Taylor part is if if we just like played. the the math game of football and I. said, "Okay, Jamar here and T there." I. don't think there's a lot of secondaries. that can play him one-on-one in the AFC. I I think [snorts] the Jesse Bates trade. is about Cincinnati uh to Jacksonville. Maybe Pittsburgh. Like maybe I put.

playing them one-on-one, but it's. >> Joey Porter Jr. was perfect to play. against them. So, it's like, okay, well, if you can't play us one-on-one and then. you've got to handle Gassiki in the. middle of the field, well, then the. ability to run should be relatively. easy. And if we elevate the back and the. back can do a little bit of BYOB, be. your own blocker, make your own hole. type stuff, I I truly think it would. become an unstoppable offense. >> Okay, so Cincinnati Bengals, uh, potentially an unstoppable offense. They're in an AFC that is uh potentially.

led by the Jacksonville Jaguars. >> Oh yeah. >> Jacksonville Jaguars bring in Jesse. Bates. You just mentioned him. They made. another trade, too. They got uh Devon. Godo from the Saints. >> Oh. To replace um. >> Hamilton. Yeah. So, the Jags are in the buying. business right now. They understand what. they've done. They have been hotter than. a firecracker over the last 17 games. And it feels like they understand it. What did ownership say earlier in the.

year about what's happening this year? >> Yeah. He said, "This is what we. envisioned in January. >> We're doing it in October. Now it's. November. It's going to go on forever.". [screaming]. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT is. >> pretty accurate, >> man. That sounds Run it. Actually, let's. see if that is. >> Okay. >> This is what we envisioned in January. Okay. Yes, sir. It's happening here in. September. GOING TO GO ON FOREVER.

>> YES. Ownership's always right. >> I never heard I've heard Ty do it. I've. never heard that. Yeah, dude. We do just. do your research, bro. Okay. We just. love that. >> We happen to know about more stuff cuz. we live on the internet or used to and. uh sometimes it gets held against us. Not anymore. Yeah. I tried to I tried to. get out of there. We still have a good. presence on the internet though. The. boys are in the weeds in there. So, you. know, if anything pops off like that, we. will certainly know about it. But. ownership down there, he was going to. build an entire city for Urban Meyer.

down there. They've been yearning. Got a. new stadium coming. That's going to take. a little bit. They got and Trevor. Lawrence is what? Playing the best ball. that uh we've seen him ever play. Go. ahead. he's playing and I Dan obviously. have a lot more on him and Liam and how. he's playing but that defense like you. talk about going all in like they're. making a good defense I think great. adding Jesse Bates at making an addition. there and right now the top of the. league in turnover ratio obviously we. know how important that is second in the. league when points per game number one. in the league in rush yards per game and. like I believe second in the league when.

it comes to interceptions so you're. bringing the third active leader right. now with Jesse Bates 28 interceptions 14. forced fumbles in his his career the. leadership that he has along with the. weapon as you already have on the. outside. So, I agree with you. This move. is obviously for the Bengals, but. everybody I mean this would be I don't. know what are the odds for them to win. it all right now. >> They're second in the AFC behind the. Bills and then fourth overall for the. Super Bowl. >> Yeah, I mean. >> I I don't think they're going all in. I. don't think. >> I don't think the football world or. maybe the casual fan knows how good. Jesse Bates is because he had he's been.

in Atlanta and they haven't won over the. past couple years in Cincinnati. Like. the way that I right starting his the. way that I talk about him is like he's. the the secondary version of Fred. Warner. >> Like everyone goes, "Oh my gosh, Fred. Warner all he does is like create havoc. and punch the ball away." Jesse Jesse. Bates is the same type of player. I. mean, he's an unbelievable player and. getting him. And the reason I say it's. about Cincinnati is you got to cover. Cincinnati. We just talked about their. offense. Like you got to be able to. cover against them. We can live in the. world where you got to get the. quarterback on the ground. you're not.

gonna against Cincinnati because you. can't play the the necessary coverage to. get enough people to rush after Joe. You've got to play a little bit more. coverage that creates zones that gives. easy completions that allows for an. efficient offense. You have to cover. against Cincinnati if you're going to. beat them. I think this is that piece. >> I love the Jags going all in. Congrats. to them down in Duvall. Hopefully this. is the year for them to maybe win a. Lombardi. I know the Jags fans would. love that. The AFC though has been run. by one particular team over the last. decade or so. Crazy looking injury.

dayto-day. Go ahead, Con man. >> Yeah, Daniel. Uh Pat's talking about. Kansas City. Uh kind of wild Pat Mahomes. didn't have his arm ripped off. It. looked exactly like the Brock Party. injury in the NFC Championship a few. years ago and Julian saying a couple. weeks ago, but what is kind of your take. on the Chiefs cuz it hasn't looked great. seemingly, you know, I mean, look at the. score right there. 14 12 against the. Jets and they end up going on and kind. of routing them. But. >> what is kind of your idea around them? Do you think they also need to add in.

the next 24 hours as far as a wide. receiver or some help? Cuz it's really. just Kenneth Walker, Kelsey here and. there. Rasheed Rice is getting going, but what are you thinking with Kansas. City? >> Yeah, this version of Kansas City cannot. win a Super Bowl. Um I think they need. to add two moves uh to truly be in that. class of the Jacksonvilles, the. Cincinnati's. Um, I would tell you. number one wide receiver I do know. Uh, Kelsey, you mentioned it. Like all it is. is Kelsey right now. Kelsey's playing. great. I mean, Kelsey once again looks.

younger than he did in two or three. years ago. So, Kelsey's playing great. Patrick's playing well. Um, they need. another wide receiver cuz I have so many. clips of like there's no separation. I. can only create shallow crosses so many. different times. I think the second. thing is they absolutely should be. trading for an offensive lineman. I. don't know if you know I was going to. say a Landon Dickerson but guard's not. necessarily a need but they need to add. a tackle. Um and then the bigger. takeaway for me outside of the offensive. because we've known that the Jets ran. the football right at this defense like.

right at this defense multiple times and. that would be a concern of mine in. relation to Kansas City because if teams. are watching that tape defensively I. would just sit there and say I'm going. to run the football 25 times at right at. them not outside right at them. I don't. think they can stop it. So, are they one. wide receiver that can get open away. from being the superefficient offense. that you would believe in or no? I. >> If you told me that wide receiver was. like a D I continue to pound the table. for Dantavian Wixs there. I don't I love. >> What about Josh DS? >> Yeah, I love DS. I just don't think he's.

like the ideal part. They have a Xavier. worthy. Again, I'm running shallows with. Xavier worthy. Allen's done it a little. bit. I I need a bigger framed guy that. can play a little bit more on the. outside and I think the world of Josh. Downs. Um, so I do I do like a bigger. framed kind of, you know, outside. player, but they still need a tackle as. well. >> What if Pierce gets traded here? [laughter]. >> What's his health? >> Not good. >> We just hope he's okay. I I genuinely. think he's okay. I I hope he's okay. We.

had no idea he was going to miss the. entire season after we paid him the. largest wide receiver contract in the. history of NFL free agency. >> And that's how we know he's okay, cuz. he's got a nice stack of cash in his. pocket doing nothing. [laughter]. A lot of people for this Colts team got. some big stacks of cash in their pockets. and we haven't got a lot of wins coming. out of it. Trade deadline day does feel. like it's going to be active tomorrow. even though Chev didn't tell us. anything. >> It never does. >> Chef gave us a big. >> maybe. He hit you with one of those. >> for 20 minutes now. I DON'T THINK THAT'S.

going to happen, but it could. >> It could. >> Last year I was in a car, big thing. happened. Didn't expect it to happen. So. that could happen again, but I'm. expecting it not to happen actually. >> But it might. >> But it might. You never know with this. league. He's got to protect his. information, you know, like. >> does he? Well, we need to protect the. program. >> Rab sheet comes on here, says anything. Oh [ __ ] I think they are going to, [laughter]. >> you know, we love him for it. You know. what? Yeah, I think they should do that. right now. >> Yeah, there is a chance that Shifty has. a lot of information that's kind of. counter countering each other because.

there's a lot of similar players I. assume being, you know, negotiated with. with similar places. So, Sheffy has to. protect all aspects of that except for. our show, you know. >> But imagine like the weight of his. words. >> Our show. Oh yeah. What's that? >> The way he says one thing that might be. a step too far. Then he's getting mother. effed by this team, motherfed by this. agent. This team's now like, "What the. fudge is going?". >> There was a clip going viral of him this. weekend cuz he did one of these with the. Vikings or whatever. And then Dan Jones. played so bad that nobody wants him. anymore. I was like, "Well, I guess we. got to keep you.".

>> Jones is a good guy. >> Relax. >> There's a lot of good guys on that team. going through a lot. >> They are. We lock these guys. 35 million. next year is a very feasible contract if. you want a Daniel Jones. I still like. Daniel Jones and his Indianapolis. >> As a man, >> I love Dan Jones. >> He was a great softball captain. >> Big dude, was he? >> Was he? >> He hit a home run in his first at bat. >> Did you guys lose by 20? >> Yeah, >> he hit a home run in his first at bat. He batted out of order and hit into a. double play when we really needed to get. a rally going. >> Uh Dolan [laughter].

>> Dolan had an incredible catch yesterday. He was a liability in the outfield for. you guys in that softball game. I think. that kind of scared us a little bit. Uh. but yeah, I like Daniel Jones. I. appreciate what Daniel Yeah. This guy. couldn't catch a fly ball in a softball. game. >> Dropped three straight. Gave up. >> Can you believe that? >> 12 runs. >> I would have rece Yeah. Like track a. ball, catch a one-handed. >> 12 runs off of this guy. Three. consecutive hits. Ran to him in the. >> I was inducing soft contact, easy.

pop-ups. >> Yeah. So much back spin on it. >> Yeah. It's crazy. >> Is that when we knew Is that when we. knew that the Colts were potentially. shite potentially? >> We need a one for Jonathan Taylor. So, whenever you talk to whoever you talk. to, I'm about sick of them thinking that. they can just work Carly into giving up. Jonathan Taylor for something cuz. they've given up everybody else for next. to nothing. Just you let the lads know. And Shfter, too, you're not listening. obviously. If you are, >> you need we need to hear something on. trade deadline eve, okay? We can't just.

have a whole maybe possibly. I mean, we. could do that. Hey, Connor. Tomorrow is. uh Daniel Dimes gonna get traded. >> Look, I I don't know, but I think he. could. But I don't know, so don't hold. me to this, but I think he could. >> So, we could do that. >> We could do what we did for 20 minutes. there. Dan, do you think uh Josh DS gets. traded tomorrow? >> Yes. >> Okay. >> Holy [ __ ] That's a little bit. different. That's a little bit. different. Um Okay. So, [clears throat]. three land is I told you.

>> You know who I think absolutely needs to. trade for a wide receiver? Rams, >> you're right. >> Especially with Puka situation, >> they they have to trade for a wide. receiver. >> Oh, that was gonna be my question. Are. is their offense dead with because we. assume Devonte probably be out another. three or four weeks at least. We don't. know what news is coming with Puka. So, you're going to be super dependent, I. would assume, on these tight ends. What. how would you call it if you were McVey? And what is your thoughts on this. offense going forward without their top? >> He read your sheet. >> No, I swear to God. Um, >> if you told me. >> he would have been ready for it. If you.

told me that the play with Puka at the. end of the game didn't happen, I would. still tell you they need to trade for a. wide receiver. Um, the defense is great. Miles and and Aaron were outstanding. The offense right now just is not very. good. They run the ball well. Their. tight ends are good. The pass game's not. very good. It just isn't. Puka was great. yesterday. Matthew has not seen the. field well this year. Once again, I. don't know it showed up again yesterday. There's four or five clips where I'm.

like, he's just not seeing it. The. forced interception. >> Oh, that was a great drop. Got great. depth, but he was staring right at him. >> It is very Pukaentric. Um, and they're. slow starting on offense right now. I I. absolutely believe that they have to be. active in the wide receiver market. Absolutely. Whether Puka is healthy or. not. >> Okay. And Josh DS has requested a trade. from the Indianapolis Colts. His brother. flexed on him yesterday after a drop. It. was the Downs battle yesterday. Dallas. Cowboys win. Caleb DS gets game-winning.

interception. Good for him. Congrats to. everybody who gets our best players. without having to give up a one somehow. But everybody else gets ones for players. that are. >> Shifty did say that. That was one thing. he did say is the Colts do have an offer. on the table right now for Josh D, >> which is worth at least a four, which. would be what the forest is Buckner. >> A four. >> Yep. >> Is that what he said? >> Yes. At least a four. Yes, that's what. he said. He did tell us something. I guess we. should be. >> half the league should be trading for. him.

>> for a four a fourth round pick. >> There's no way. It's got to be at least. at least multiple seconds. >> No, no, no, no. >> Multiple seconds. Are you high for Josh? >> 29. What is he 28 27? >> The coach just completed a trade. >> for no talking about uh Taylor. >> Yeah, because a fourth round pick. >> But but wasn't there the caveat of like. he only wanted to go to San Francisco? So, wasn't that part of it? >> Yeah. Okay. Sorry, bud. >> Welcome to the [ __ ] NFL. >> There's a 0% chance Josh D goes for a. four. I'm not going to say zero. 1%.

chance cuz I do sometimes say things, but. >> no way. Way too pawn artist. >> Oh, you think higher? You think higher. pick? >> He's Ed D doesn't give a [ __ ] dude. >> At a minimum third at a minimum. He's. awesome. The Forest Buckner went for a. fourth round pick. He was our best. player, >> dude. [clears throat] That kid's. awesome. Awesome. >> Awesome. Awesome. If you told the Rams, if if the Rams can if shoot, if the. Chiefs can give up a fourth, give up a. fourth for Josh Downs. Absolutely.

>> What about Jonathan Taylor? >> I think Taylor's worth a minimum of a. second. Um if I were the Bengals, >> we need a one. >> Did you think about it? >> Yeah, I would. Dude, I I'm all in. Like, I'm all in this year. If I get Who Who. cares about the first round pick next. year if you're Cincinnati? I also would. sit here and say, do the Bills look. unbeatable? No. Uh do the Jag Jaguars. look unbeatable at times? kind of. >> at times, but I still like it's still. >> still Jags. >> Yeah. It's not Josh in the playoffs type. stuff. Um, so I I if if I'm a team.

that's already made allin like let's go. >> Uh, okay. So, let's talk about the Rams. potentially being the ones. Here's their. draft capital. They might have been the. ones who offered a fourth for uh downs. Cleveland Browns, they give up their one. obviously to them. Kansas Chiefs because. of McDuffy have a three. So, they have a. two and a four. So that could be the. Rams that said we'll give you a four for. Josh Towns if that is what it is because. that would actually be their second pick. of the draft. There's a lot of teams. that need stuff that don't necessarily. have stuff. And the Colts are sitting in. a situation where they got a lot of good.

stuff, but are they going to get. anything in return? And if they don't. get anything in return, do they wait. till the offseason? And if you wait till. the offseason, what are you doing that. for? I It's just tough situation. Hopefully they're able to negotiate a. little bit better. You're allowed to. say, "Hey, it's hard for us to let go of. this guy." Like the Titans did with. Jeffrey Simmons. They didn't want to let. him go. >> Jeffrey Simmons. >> Huh? >> What a player. >> Yeah. >> Game wrecker. Game changer. >> You know what? He It looks like.

>> You're telling me Deforest Bucker could. have been worth a two? >> Yeah. >> No, >> I was shocked when he went for a four. >> Two ones and a four the next day, Jeff. >> It's just the the the money the We don't. It's only inspired contract. We don't. have the leverage. I lose. This takes. away our leverage. Okay. So, >> it's not like we're like Simmons is in. his prime and he got paid what last. year. Yeah. Maybe. >> you got to extension this off. >> 35 million. He's got 35 million a year. So, you're going to end up paying. DeForest Buckner less than what you're. going to pay Jeffrey Simmons. I don't. think DeForest Buckner is calling for. $35 million a year. This is what I'm. selling if I'm. >> Yeah. So, why would you give up that. high draft pick for him?

>> Well, you're going to pay him cheap for. like the Niners are renting him right. now. Uh leasing him and Bears. potentially doing that as well. >> Alton broke his ankle yesterday, too, so. that paid off. >> Good. >> Yeah. Jesse Bates has an expiring. contract as well. So, I mean, he just. went for what? A second and a fifth. >> 28. >> Yeah, but still a second and a I mean, it's still like. >> you're going to go. >> Jesse Bates is Oh, Colts are just. sitting in. You guys are doing great. Colts. >> Jesse Bates is only 28. >> Yeah. >> He'd be so good at football.

>> Been a league for so long. >> Yeah. He's had a couple different. careers and he's only getting better. And the Jacksonville Jaguars are picking. up everybody in the Colts. Uh, we had a. Purdue band played at halftime. They. crushed it. Purdue band played at. >> halftime. Absolutely crushed it. That. was a good time. Cowboys fans filled. that place up. >> Good game. >> That was Yeah, great game. All Cowboys. fans in there. Long game. >> Yeah, long first half took forever. >> Cowboys are home. >> Cowboys are cookb needs to be the Colts. call. >> The guy who's 0 and8. >> That's a good idea. >> What are you talking about? >> The guy who's in the ring of honor. >> Okay.

>> Do you mean. >> he goes 0 and 17? Bring him in. >> Sean McDermit. >> That I wouldn't be mad. >> Easy, Bruce. Big laugh. >> He's easy. >> Unbelievable. I'm about sick of that. when you put it like that. >> Let's move off of the Indianapolis Colts. uh fire sailing everything and still not. having a one. >> We still don't have a one. The Jets are. about to have the second overall pick. from the Colts. Colts tanking for who? Jets. We'd like to thank you on draft. night from the Jets. Once again, I do.

not speak for anybody in the building. They have not asked me anything and I. don't know if I have the right answers. I do not. Good luck to them in doing. that. But we would like to thank you. from the Jets. Speaking of the Jets, they are sending safety Andre Cisco to. the Detroit Lions for a 2028 sixth round. pick. Sources tell ESPN Cisco also on an. expiring contract. So that is a rental. once again. Deforest Buckner went for a. fourth. Andre Cisco on an expiring. contract goes to the Lions for a sixth. sixround pick. Uh trade deadline heating.

up. Let's not talk about any more trades. that could happen. Let's talk about one. that has already happened. Ty Schmidt, nine, doing his thing for the Giants has. a question for you, Dano. >> Yeah, Dano, it's pretty evident that the. NFC East is complete dog shite. And uh. at what 52 and one, the the Giants are, you know, they're running away with this. thing. Uh do you think, listen, JJ. McCarthy, he didn't play bad yesterday, but he kind of went back a little bit. more towards the nine that we uh. expected. >> I don't know. Yeah, I think he agrees.

with me. But do you think uh he gives. them enough to make them legitimate. Super Bowl threats or is it kind of like. well their defense is really good? >> Yeah. No, defense is very good. No. Uh. my answer to that would be no. It's nice. to see JJ playing well. I would tell you. and Debbuck can speak to it better than. me, but if like I was playing against. the Giants, I would make him throw the. ball in the middle of the field cuz. right now he's killing on these corners. and these outbreakers and these sails. In many ways, it's like I'm throwing. this ball. I think the thing that showed. up yesterday that didn't in those first.

two games and you know was the. reservation is dude get off of the first. read like get off of the first read get. to a checkown get the ball to your hands. don't you know get smacked in the pocket. because you're just hanging hanging. hanging and then trying to get out of. there and so you know when JJ at least. so far has that first who he believes is. going to be open guy open it's it looks. awesome but I still think that there's. getting stuck on the first read that is. going to eventually hurt them and their. offense. And so the defense is great.

Reese is awesome. Tibido is playing. outstanding. Banks is playing great. The. way that they use Carter and Ree and. Tibs in their pass rush is awesome. It's. awesome. Um but I do not believe that. the offense is good enough. >> Do you think it'll actually be a. conversation between like in the. offseason about, hey, who are we going. to go with. >> through three games? Right. He's played. three games so far. >> I think so. >> Yeah. Through three games, it's not even. close. him and with with him and Jackson. Dart. >> Yeah, >> Jackson Dart much better getting through. progressions.

>> Yeah, but I mean JJ had a hit pointer if. we get him back to a hundo. >> Yeah, >> you know, we shall see. >> Locker room. >> and he did he didn't do the the. trademark eye paint yesterday. >> I'm happy for the young. >> I THINK HE DID THOUGH. I [screaming]. THINK he did. >> Well, I I don't think he did the. crosses. He just did traditional eye. black. Just, you know, no frills. >> Have you ever had a hip pointer? >> It hurts, dude. I I hear you. I I do. I. hear you. >> Yeah, sure. >> I'm with you.

>> I mean, Toro can do a lot of magic. There's a lot of things that can happen. in there. And I do appreciate I mean, he. said, "I love you, boys.". >> The [ __ ]. >> What was that? >> The hit point was the bond hit. He was. >> not the hitter. >> No, but why did it sound like you were. farting inside of him? >> No, it was like this. >> It was a fat fart, too. >> And why was it inside? [laughter]. >> Tell us. >> You literally went inside of him. That's. what you just tried to do. >> Farted inside. Hey, that's a Yukon. difference. Yukon or Yukon? You chose. >> Yukon? Never heard any of that [ __ ]. coming out of our university. All right.

>> Never ours either. It's not great. >> We did to Michigan the other night. Hoops. >> Hoops. Hoop season. >> Hoop season. Hurley's a man. Obviously, we love what you guys have going on. there. And the women's team. Don't even. get me started. >> Sarah Strong. >> this year. Lost the other night. >> Oh, really? Bounce back against Iowa. They beat the doors off Iowa 39. >> Good game. Have you guys seen West. Virginia's women's team? >> Oh, yeah. Big 12 champs, you mean? >> Undefeated, right? >> They're the defending Big 12 champs. >> Yeah. >> On the tournament.

>> Seriously? The whole thing? >> Yeah. On the LE, the Big 12 tournament. >> I thought the national tournament Cooks. is a member of Oklahoma State's team. now. And I'll tell you, she had like 15. or 20 points the other night. Start. >> She plays for Oklahoma. She was Iowa. State. >> Yeah. NI, bro. >> Someone doesn't follow. >> Did you hear the New York Liberty fired. their coach? >> What? >> No, of course you didn't hear that. two. weeks ago. >> Bill Jackson is up, dude. >> Was it. >> Bill Jackson isn't the coach? >> That's who they're eyeing. >> Okay, that's what it was. I saw the. report. >> All right, let's get off of the WNBA and.

women's college hoops and men's college. hoops. >> Actually, um, no. >> Wait, what do we got? >> An update came through the wire. >> It was the announcement that that Chris. was fired, not an update that somebody. was getting hired for the libs. >> Is ankle stone out already? >> Uh, I I think she's waiting till Yep, she's out. Yeah, it's over. It's over. She had a hell of a run. Angel Bert is. her name. She's ex WNBA commissioner. She negotiated the largest media rights. deal for a women's league in the history. of a lot of people said she.

>> put her foot in her mouth about 450,000. times across the course of the season. >> Yeah, we'll try to remember the good. times. You're right. >> Just all the money. It was everything. else that kind of didn't go great. But. hey, that league is going to get figured. out. Let's get back to our league. There's a team that if you need them to. win in a close game, they will do it. It. might not be sustainable, but maybe this. is just who the hell this guy is. Tone. has a question for you, Dan. >> Yeah, we are talking about the Denver. Broncos, Dan. And and since Shawn Peyton. has taken the play calling back over, it. feels like just eye test wise, eye test. wise, Bo feels like he feels like he's.

seeing it better and he's throwing it. more confidently. Y um it sounds like. you feel the same way. Do you think it's. it's enough though for them to make. another run? >> Absolutely. Because the defense is. sensational as well. Much more rhythmic. in their pass game. Totally agree. Um. also got to some of their formations. that are good. They like 4x ones. they. got sen the football a little bit more. sometimes it was down the red zone. sometimes like just put him out to the. field and allow a 6'5 frame to be as big. of a deal as it was both seen it better. I think Bo throws a seam ball so like. imagine 20 yards down the hash.

essentially about as good as look at. that timing um the more they can kind of. do those he just sees it confidently and. cuts it loose so the more that they have. that um in their bag is better uh the. play action pass stuff which is vintage. Shawn on Payton presented itself as as. well yesterday. So, um I would tell you. the last couple weeks he looked a lot. more like he did last year. Um in the. last couple weeks, it's been a lot more. of the player that he's been for the. majority of his career. So, yeah, it's.

good enough. Their defense is. tremendous. The only thing that always. week every week gives me trepidation. about their defense is when they have to. play teams that can throw the ball to. the tight ends because they play such a. structure that if you got tight ends, your tight ends can absolutely gut them. That's why I'm like, okay, Buffalo. concerns me when they have to play. against Denver from the defensive. defense of Denver perspective, but very, very, very good defense and the offense. is definitely m much better the past. month. >> Did I make this up? Did I see that. Denver reached out about Trey McBride?

Is that was. >> Yeah, he went to Colorado State too. I. believe he's from the area. So, >> but Bo's looking good. Bo's look he's. past couple weeks a lot lot better. >> Bo is looking good. He actually broke a. record for one score games. Uh Pton. Manning had been sitting there and now. Bo Nick Knicks becomes the Broncos have. set a new NFL record of 16 consecutive. one-score wins. Bicks and company. surpass Pton Manning's 2008 2009 Colts. teams. I was part of that 2009 uh Colts. team. A lot of cardiac Colts. conversations. Cardiac Colts. Cardiac. Colts. Cardiac Colts. It's like this.

Broncos team. I think their fans are. still getting used to trusting Bo Knicks. in these situations and trusting Shawn. Payeyton. I uh I love that that's their. style of play because you're going to. have to win a close game, especially. whenever it comes to playoffs, when it. comes to the Super Bowl. But living like. that is awfully dangerous. All it takes. is one or two bounces the wrong way. All. it takes is for somebody to squeeze ball. a little bit. >> Interception they got. >> boom. >> Crazy. >> Boom. You're living You're living with a. lot of luck. Not saying Shawn Peyton and. Bon Knicks can't continue to do that. We. all know people that get cards every. single time they play, but it is it is a.

lot of luck that you are living with. And uh I love that Bicks has been doing. something right with the football lord. that they're giving it to him on that. particular. Let's go to the NFC South. Massive question marks. I just saw the. Carolina Panthers there. Debbut has a. question for you, D. >> Yeah, it seems like every week they're. one of their quarterbacks playing great. or playing absolute shite. So they all. got three wins. Who actually wins this. division has a home playoff game as it. stands now? Falcons, Saints? >> Uhoh. >> Big sign.

>> I know it's tough. >> They're 2 and0 in the division right. now. Yeah, I'm going to still say Tampa. Tampa should have won that game last. night if Baker played better and I love. Baker, but just did not the the. interceptions were just killer. Um the. defense is playing so good. Carolina's. so beat up. >> Bryce played great yesterday again. Uh. but they're just so beat up healthwise. Atlanta's so hot or cold. My concern. with Atlanta is Michael Pennock just. won't move right now. Like he just won't. move. as a defense, you know, like he's. going to be there all the time. >> and they haven't figured out a way to.

attack teams that are like late filling. in the run game. Again, you would know. this like from the backside. They. haven't figured out a way to hurt it. Uh. >> New Orleans Shuck was amazing yesterday. Um they intrigued He was amazing. yesterday. >> Um they intrigued me. Uh but I don't. trust, you know, like the one-sided. element of their offense. >> Are you saying Shuck isn't what it looks. like? No, big, tall, athletic dude could throw. it. I would say that's what it looks. like. Yeah.

>> Huh. But you just say you don't trust. their offense. >> One-sided element. They can't run the. football. So like the he threw the. absolute tar out of the ball yesterday. >> Always does. >> And him and Tyson. Tyson was really. good. Their tight end is awesome. >> Timely fumble. >> Um. >> that was a great punch out. A lot of. punch outs. >> But and Chuck made so many plays with. his legs yesterday. like six or seven. just huge scrambles. Um. >> Yeah, dude. >> He was awesome yesterday. >> Chuck's a guy. >> Conor's a corn chugger.

>> Yeah, he has been since the beginning. Yeah, >> since jump. >> Now, that particular draft, that. particular draft was on uh full display. yesterday. Let's go to the other side of. it. Deshawn Watson has been announced as. a starter for week 10 Cleveland Browns. football. Shar Sanders will back him up. Shadur goes into New Orleans almost gets. a damn win. What did you learn about. Shador and the Cleveland Browns. yesterday? And I would like to shout out. Todd Monken. Thank you for going for two. for good a ball. >> Now stats are saying it's only one and. one for five. >> Yeah, one and five. >> So like the Saints did this earlier. against the Lions. Gave the Lions a win.

when the Saints won for two and didn't. get it. They end up getting a loss. there. We appreciate [clears throat]. them going for the win. We appreciate. the Browns going for the win instead of. the tie there, which they certainly. could have done. Tie looks better at the. end of the year, but for the good of. ball, we need to have a winner here. How'd Shador look and how the Browns. look coming out of New Orleans in your. eyes? Okay, Foxy, in about 20 seconds, have that two-point play pulled up. again. But I would tell you, [laughter]. I think Shador helped himself. I thought. he managed it well. He made the right. decisions. He moved good. Got the ball. out of his hands. The young players made.

so many big plays. Boston great. Conception great. Fannon great. Um I. >> get over me. >> Monster. Um this this play this is the. one that I think it right. What? Dude, get off is his only catch. He's a freak, dude. >> You, too. >> He said it was his only catch cuz they. kept him in to try to, you know, slow. down chasing the boys up front. >> Yeah, but the here's here's the thing, and I'm saying Shador did well. Did. well. I think he did well for himself.

Um, bottom of the screen or right above. the bug is Conception. Okay. Conception. is going to run a little bit of a. crosser to the top of the screen. And. one of the things about Shador is kind. of leaving the pocket backwards early. If he just hangs in the pocket there, Conception comes wide open on the. crosser to his left. And that's another. point of like, hey, you won't see it on. this clip. It's on the right side of the. screen, but. >> see him at the end here. >> Chase, that's that chase that hit him a. couple times. And. >> but I I don't feel like that pocket.

there is a one that he had to leave. And. so. >> again, just continuing to develop and. learn like you he didn't have to leave. the pocket in that moment. If he hangs. there another click, another click and. he just kind of drifted back a step. instead of evading, Conception's going. to be there and the Browns are going to. win the game. >> We see that a lot of Josh Allen, Patrick. Mahomes, Jordan Love, the drift back. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Still in. pocket, let everything. >> drift like Yeah, drift as like a passer. rather than I'm getting away from. unnecessary bad.

>> Now, hasn't played a lot of NFL football. obviously [clears throat] backup. quarterback does a great job. huge part. of the conversation. And then his answer. about being backup quarterback just. trying to learn, be whatever I got to. do, I thought was spectacular after I. thought was a pretty horrendous series. of answers going into the Saints. Yes. >> Just from an NFL quarterback personally. I think he was trying to not say things. I think he was trying to be reserved and. try to help himself out. I think he was. doing that, but his answer is just like. I thought they were just not great. answers for a starting quarterback. But. then he goes on the field and you see. the boys. I mean, he lifts the boys.

every time he's out there. They. obviously respect him. is incredibly. tough. Dano's watching the all 22 right. now if Casey can come open. Casey. earlier in this drive drops one that. hits him right in the chest as well. So, uh play call ends up working out here on. the two if he stays. Drift drift drift. drift drift. >> He just hangs. See how like the defender. falls. >> Where is that in the progression of of. that play cuz I see like a stick at the. goal line from the tight end. I see like. a flap to his right which looks like you. know after the Casey uh is that no case. is running across that motion right.

here. Judy. >> boom. It looks like it's designed to get. Judy in the flat maybe come back that. tight end. So that's like three or four. >> Yeah, I would tell you. But we would. call that like we used to call play like. that Cougar in many ways down. This was. down in Houston with a Kubak Shanahan. thing and it was like you're reading. outside in across the board. So we would. actually have started up top and see if. we can get that quick flat and then kind. of read that middle mesh. I don't know. how exactly I was getting it read so or. getting taught. So I'm I'm telling you. how kind of I've learned it. But and you. you see the motion go across. you see.

the defender go obviously man it's more. than likely going to be man down here so. any type of thing that you get of that. that would probably be like his third. progression but kind of seeing it all. happen at the same time so I just the. point is the growth and development of. playing more and more and more of if he. just hangs and kind of drifts drift. drifts he's going to get conception so. learning process process for him but I. do think he helped himself. >> you call that cougar because the play's. got to mature. >> exactly that well said. >> you know what I mean nobody's talking. about that let's go to tonight's game.

and we'll have our uh football. environment expert join us. >> Currently 2 and 0 by the way. His name. is Parker. He's currently 2 and 0 on. [laughter] his picks on how the field. feels. But let's talk about you tonight. Your thoughts on tonight. Can't wait to. get on ESPN 2 with you Field Pass. Thank. you for doing that with us. We are. excited to get in there, especially with. our surprise guests that we have. We had. a blast in Chicago whenever we did it. We hope people will join us tonight. If. not, we're going to have a good time. doing this. Uh what do you see from this. evening? Carson Wentz at this stage of.

his career, uh, can he play the football. that we've all seen him in the past. whenever he's playing phenomenal, >> or will he be the wild, crazy Carson. Wentz, no play left behind type. quarterback that could put them into big. trouble, especially if they turn the. ball over with how good their defense. is. Just need somebody to manage it, right? How do you kind of view tonight. going and what are your thoughts on. Carson W? Yeah, my number one thought. with Minnesota's offense tonight is can. Kevin Okonnell run his offense that he. hasn't really been able to run all year.

Um, this has been a top five offense. under Kevin O'Connell when it comes to. putting the quarterback under center and. utilizing play action. They've been. bottom 10 in those things this year with. Kyler Murray. And so I've been adamant. of you have to be able to run your. offense. And so can he and does he do. that tonight? I think the second thing. is in relation to Carson is you're. asking just you got to be able to just. to manage. I just don't buy into that. No. One, this defense is so good. If you. give the ball away, you give the ball. away. Now, when you give it, where you. give it, all that stuff matters. You're.

going against Josh Allen. He's going to. score points. This isn't going to be. like you're playing against an offense. that's putrid against the do dominant. defense. So, I still think you got to. lean a little bit. It's like, dude, you. got to be aggressive with the football. You got to trust what your eyes are. telling you and cut the ball loose. Um, and so I want to see what the offense. for Minnesota looks like tonight, uh, in. relation to what it has for the majority. of this season. Uh, I do not think if. this offense looks pedestrian, again, I. just do not believe Minnesota can stand.

pat. I think anything is on the table at. quarterback. And when I say anything, I. quite literally mean anything. Even if. it sounds outrageous to the NFL. community, I think you have to start at. like the most outrageous call you can. make at quarterback and just work your. way down the line. the most outrageous. call you can make. Whatever, however. fantasy stupid it sounds, if you're in. Minnesota and Carson struggles tonight. and your offense looks bad and you lose. again 1714 or something like you can't. you can't waste the offense two years in. a row. So, um that's probably the number. one thing I'll be paying attention to.

And then, you know, does Buffalo copy. Detroit's run game versus Minnesota? I'd. be interested to see if they do that. >> What else did uh Detroit do against. Minnesota? How quick? Yeah, it was. really like the they put those two tight. ends offset into the back field and ran. again super nerdy football terms. They. ran like what gap schemes look like, meaning pulling people rather than just. zone schemes. They kind of pulled the. tight ends into the middle of the. defense and split the defense with it. I. want to see if Buffalo kind of copies. it. >> All right, let's see uh.

how we're feeling down a field level. Ladies and gentlemen, it is time once. again for. >> a part of this show that has been. missing. >> Yeah, >> we're in the stadiums, but we're not on. the field. >> Let's go to the field with the person. who should be telling us how it feels. down there. Worldrenowned. >> football environment expert, ladies and. gentlemen, Parker. What's up, Parker? >> Hey, what's up, boys? >> Parkco, I like that. A little bit more. confidence. Came in quickly after the. intro as opposed to just sitting there.

staring at camera. Hey, tell me US Bank. Stadium. Absolutely glorious. Your. thoughts on it? How it feels down there. about 6 and 1/2 hours away from uh. kickoff? >> Oh, yeah. This place is glorious. It's a. great haven for football. Uh environment. feels, you know, favorable for both. teams down here, though, which is the. weird thing. Not a big fan of this fake. grass down here on the field. More of a. real grass guy myself, but still a. beautiful place nonetheless. Cathedral. of football. >> Yeah. And if we could if Jib could get.

this man that's in the middle of this. Yep. There he is right there. Ladies and. gentlemen, [laughter] he has his feet. are on the artificial grass. Are your. joints okay, Parker? As you give this. read, you're a natural gas grass guy. Normally that's because of the joints. and how they feel. Are you okay? >> Oh yeah, joints are feeling great. Uh. yeah, can't complain about the joints. >> Uh okay. So you said it feels good for. both teams. You kind of gave that. gimmick away that you've been normally. doing at the end, but you are 2 and 0. Do you think these guys tie tonight? Is. that what you're thinking?

>> Oh, absolutely not. Bill's Mafia is. going to take over this place and run. wild here in Minnesota. >> It's football environment. >> Thank you, Parkco, down there on the. field. We appreciate you doing that for. us. As the NFL live Monday night. countdown set. >> is pieced together back there and we're. up here. >> on a balcony overlooking this glorious. place. Buffalo Bills gonna take over and. run wild in here. We saw that last night. a bit. >> We we tried to find somewhere to eat uh.

watch Sunday night football. Uh big. Minnesota Timberwolves fans around here. >> We went into a couple Irish uh pubs. around town and they wouldn't put Sunday. night football on cuz Timberwolves game. was on. >> They beat the Utah Jazz. I'll have you. know. Found a nice spot called The. Depot. >> Yeah. >> There's no way they've been used to nine. of us humans walking in there. But they. were incredibly hospitable. Lot of Bills. Mafia people everywhere we have seen. They. >> travel. >> and that is obviously a part of the.

Buffalo Bills experiences. Their fan. base Vikings fans though. >> right in this place like Winona. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. Super loud in here. tonight. >> Maybe Parker doesn't know what he's. talking about. >> He definitely didn't see that guy in the. lobby this morning wearing a Chad Green. wager. That made me think twice. >> What a player. He's probably a little. jaded too cuz he is a Saints fan and we. all remember the Stefon Digs miracle. play in this in this very building. >> You know other magical play that. happened in this building. >> What's that? >> Philly. Philly. >> Oh Minneapolis Miracle happens here.

Philly Philly happens here. >> Deb butt knocked out Adam. >> Walk outside. >> That was clean. >> Yeah, it was flagged me. It was clean. >> It was dash 12 whenever we played here. that Parker also doesn't know who's. blowing the horn tonight. Who is blown. horn? >> Tim Walls. Shut up. >> Is that. >> Shut up. >> Yeah, [laughter]. he he's he's. going to be alive. >> It's going to be as loud as it's ever. been in here. >> I didn't know that. That's crazy. They.

have to do some security checks, I. assume. >> Oh, yeah. For sure. >> Especially with us on the sideline. Excited to be here. Pumped to be here. Minnesota's beautiful. Minneapolis were. around last night. Good place. Good. >> Nicest hotel we've stayed in. >> Twin Cities are phenomenal. What hotel. you at? >> Uh, don't worry about it, pal. >> We're still there, Dan. Jeez. >> Probably the same one as you, pal. The. double tree. >> [ __ ]. >> Oh, no. No. >> Oh, it is not Tim. Never mind. >> It's not Tim. Sorry. >> What? >> Adrien Peterson's doing it. >> Oh, hey. Hey. Hey. All day. Adrien.

Peterson. >> He owes me my jacket. >> Maybe he brought it. >> He probably brought it. >> I don't know if he owes you. I don't. [laughter] think that's how that that's. viewed. I think he's very grateful for. the gift that you uh gave him in real. time on radio row. But he's going into. uh the Ring of Honor tonight. So, we. assume he'll be blowing the gigantic. >> Yeah. >> call to the Vikings. >> Uh-huh. >> You heard that? >> That was well done. >> Thank you. Is there a button in there? >> No, you actually have to blow.

>> Yeah. Oxygen. >> need to really big horn, bro. I don't. know who's got that type of lung. capacity. Adrien Peterson certainly. does, but I've seen some others do it. that I don't think have enough. to get through that entire thing. >> Jared Allen. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, of course. >> Jared. >> Who? Who? >> Oh, no. >> No. >> Why did you say Jared Allen? >> No. Blowing. >> fat. >> Oh, de Jared Allen. PTSD. We got a big. night tonight. >> Yeah. No, he's. >> Was it here? >> Different stadium.

>> Was it Where was it? >> Uh, it was at the Metro. >> Oh, this is the same site as that place. >> Is it? >> Yeah. Oh, yes. Cuz they played at the. University of Minnesota for a couple. years, right? >> So cold. So cool. I talked to Kyle. Rudolph. I got a chance to catch up with. him up at Notre Dame. >> So big. >> He's awesome. You know, he's an Ohio. guy. I had no idea. >> Makes sense. >> I did not know he was an Ohio guy. Notre. Dame guy. He talked about the the times. where they played at University of. Minnesota. >> And he was like, "That was the worst. experience any of us.". >> Didn't they lose? Uh, wasn't there where. they missed a kick? >> Yeah. >> Like a huge [music] playoff kick.

>> We'll be live tonight. ESPN 2 field. pass. Ain't that right, Dan? >> Yes, sir. Tell the people what they're. going to be getting, Dana. >> Uh, we'll get a good good um breakdown. Hey Adbot, anything to save your Yukon. brother. >> Hey, you know what? No, I love my That's. my quarterback forever and always. >> Yeah, our quarterback, too. We might. have another quarterback, too, pop by. But be a friend, tell a friend, so nice. change of life. We'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye. >> Good work, Dana. Way to really put it. over. We were watching on NFL Live. They. ran a promo for it. >> and uh I believe Miss Laura was hosting.

that day and they come back immediately. afterwards and go Dana, what is he? He. said, "Yeah, it should be fun." And then. you went right to some fire [ __ ]. thing. You didn't even put it over. >> Oh, hot rocks in the lava. >> Such a piece. >> They didn't even say like, "It's so much. fun. I can't believe we're there." Like. didn't even tell people. NFL Live has a. huge audience. You guys are back toback. Emmy awardw having you a part of it. It's a big deal. They run an ad for it. Comes right into you. She says, "Hey, what should I expect?" You go. >> I don't [ __ ] know. >> It's going to be dumb. >> Excuse me. I don't [ __ ] know.

>> Yeah, I don't. That's not necessarily my. strength, you know? Like, >> what is your strength, Daniel? >> Reading defenses, >> talking ball. >> Feel like I'm pretty good dad and. husband. >> Yeah. [ __ ] yeah, dude. >> That doesn't count. >> How's that help the field pass on ESPN 2. tonight? >> Maybe some people Maybe some people want. to tune in just to get a little. conversation about being a dad. Being. >> Maybe you say that whenever Miss Laura. says. >> I'm saying it right now. That's not what. we're talking about. >> I was talking about when you were on the. backtoback Emmy award-winning daytime.

show and you were asked to talk about. what you were going to do on Monday. night and you said no. On that note, >> this is [ __ ] quarterback over. that. Let's talk lava. >> And next time I'll do it. Next time I'll. get it done. You know, there might not. be another next time. If we have bad. ratings on this one, nobody's going to. talk about it again. It's over forever. I hope you're happy. >> Is there a number we have to hit rating. wise? >> Yeah, higher. Last week was the last. time we did it was the lowest the lowest. they've ever. >> 50 million. >> Well, not with you saying let me get TV.

with the fire around it over here in a. brand new studio. >> It's probably a good breakdown though. >> It was about the Bengals and De. >> I doubt it. It was. >> Yeah. When are you going to bring up the. Bengals schedule by the way? Joe Burrow. can't win MVP this year. I guess not. That's a damn Oh, I don't know. because. they've lost to the Jags and Steelers. and the only teams they've beaten have. like three wins, pal. They every team. they play that they've beaten freaking. >> Are you still going back to last year? >> I'm just I'm just going to your. standard, Daniel. >> Unprecedented you said.

>> Yeah, you should have never done the. schedule thing. >> Is the Bengals schedule the softest. schedule in the last 30 years of the. NFL? >> Yeah, >> it's equally as um. >> softer than the Patriots last year. Yeah. >> Oh, maybe I won't I won't vote for Joe. then. Maybe. >> Well, you can't actually. You're not. allowed to. >> sued that even. maybe I'll vote for Jordan Love. >> I like that. That would make more sense. Toughest division. >> Hey, there's two AP. There's three AP. voters here up on this set right now. And I don't even know if Dan even knows. this. So, let's go and let them know.

Here are the current odds on favorites. to win the awards that you boys will be. voting for. Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, co-. favorites for the MVP. John Harbaugh out. there in New York, uh, New Jersey. actually, coach of the year candidate. a. lot of other guys. Liam Cohen not being. up there pretty wild to me. I think he's. like fifth best odds behind Ben Johnson, I believe. Uh. >> Shannon, uh you know, so Liam Cohen's. like fifth best odds. I assume they're. going to use that as motivation as well. for what he's been able to do down. there. Will Anderson Jr. Texans don't.

really win a lot of games. Is he going. to be able to win an award even if. you're on a team that isn't great? We. shall see. Gibbs, offensive player of. the year. Denzel Boston there, offensive. rookie of the year. That always changes. late with big games with rookies on the. offensive side. That normally adjusts a. bit. And then Arvel Ree fresh off of. three sacks. He is the odds on favorite. to win defensive rookie of the year. Dana, I assume you didn't know any of. these things about an award that you. have a lot of say in or any of the. awards you have any say in. Anything. stick out there that you think to. yourself, oo, that's fascinating or.

that's interesting? >> Yeah, I mean the MVP stuff. Burrow. certainly up there. I think Jordan Love. has to be up there. I think Jordan Love. right now has a run game that is like. the worst in the NFL in the last 80. years. Yeah, something like that. I He. sent me a stat the other day about it. So, uh Josh Allen certainly would be. into that conversation. Same with Per. and same with Lawrence. >> Uh Caleb. Um. >> where's Dan Jones? >> Dang. >> You got to give it to Harbs right now. with what they're doing with all all.

these different quarterbacks. Defensive. player of the year. Will Anderson's been. great. I would have to think about. somebody from Green Bay defensively as. well. >> Xavier McKenna. >> McKenna. How many picks have five? >> Yeah. >> Fred Warner. >> Baronel. >> Fred War. Fred had another one. yesterday. >> Another one yesterday. >> Um, so those guys would probably be in. the conversation for me. Offensive. player of the year, I'm probably good. with Gibbs, but uh JSN's got to be in. there as well. >> Uh, offensive rookie of the year, Boston's been great. I'm trying to think.

of anybody else that stands out. Uh the. other favorites are Carnell Tate and. then Jonah Coleman and Casey Co. >> So and Fannon's probably no Fannon. second year. So they've got two of the. top five Cleveland. >> Yeah. >> Um then I would give Boston right now. defensive. Give me Arberies. Yes. >> Okay. That's an making a push as well. >> Daily. Yeah. >> But I mean they. >> meaningful versus look out for Caleb DS. >> It's always hard if your team sucks to. win awards because awards uh voted on by.

people that see games. So, if you suck, you're probably not going to be a part. of a lot of big-time prime time games. So, that's just kind of a word to the. wise. If you are betting on those things. responsibly or trading on them. responsibly, these three AP voters have. to make that decision in real time. Let's get to a break. On the other side, we got our overreactions. >> Ty, I assume today was a good one. >> I I'll be honest. I was expecting a. little more. >> Oh, no. >> There there were there were a couple. good ones. There were a couple really. good ones. All the favorites won, so no. one's mad. >> Yeah, kind of. I was expecting a little. more.

H who's the favorite tonight? bills by. three. >> 72% of the money I think on. >> so I might just have to. >> what's going to happen if Carson just. goes off. >> crazy when's chance it is the Bills. defense. >> chance. >> he could left hand shot put that thing. to Justin Jefferson. >> Jefferson could one hand [music] snag. >> who's the betting favorite to be the. first quarterback drafted in the NFL. draft or who's the favorite CJ oh really.

>> oh CJ Carr might have jumped this week. >> betting I think I know the messmaker. thing was 17. >> votes Pete. >> Drew Mesmaker [music] is still the. favorite uh to favorite quarterback. right behind him is CJ Carr. >> yeah if you get me CJ Carr in that. two-minute drive in the first half give. me that guy give me that guy. >> it was fun to be there that place feels. special. >> you stay for the game or did you go. >> yeah stay for the game usually night. game with the schedule we have. >> especially with how close it was to home.

it was like shouldn't stay but then. being in there was like should stay for. this one and obviously Gumpy. >> Yeah, it was a huge game. >> He got a tour of everywhere Notre Dame. football has and he just had that. hurricanes hat on. >> Miami the whole time. >> Hell yeah. >> He's a dog. >> Hell yeah. >> Yeah. I mean it was certainly. fascinating cuz I walk in, you know, and. I haven't been the nicest in Notre Dame. I'm not like the biggest drum beater for. Notre Dame. >> in the history. Yeah, exactly. So, we're.

walking to the building. It's already. potentially uncomfortable. And you got. Gumpy right behind with his hurricane's. hat on just walking right through the. locker room. >> Is that new building insane? >> Yes. >> Yeah. Like the drone. >> Can you turn that music off real quick? Huge part of it. The new building in my. eyes that isn't talked about. We all. just assume Notre Dame has an endless. supply of cash because, you know, Irish. Catholics and the way it all goes. Do. you know who's donating all that money? Ex players. >> Really? >> They're all ex Notre Dame players. Butler ex player. Shields ex player.

Ilsner ex player. All the now they're. not like they don't go in to be. professional NFL guys. They all get into. finance. >> But Pete Bvakqua ex player walk-on on. Notre Dame. Now the athletic director. Formerly the head of uh Peacock and NBC. Sports I believe alongside Mark Lazarus. He's former player. Now he's athletic. director. So I think he has called a lot. of the ex players and been like hey do. you want to get involved? They built. this place. They launched it in July. It. is state-of-the-art through and through. 100 plus million dollars they put into.

this place and it's all ex players. looking out for the current team and. then like who's the recruiting candidate. or leader it's like ex player who's that. ex player it's like all ex players. >> how do you not choose there. >> yeah I don't honestly walking through. there I thought to myself like I doubt. Midas will have the attention span to be. able to do well enough in school to be. end up in Notre Dame but it's like if my. boy ended up at Notre Dame I'd be. incredibly proud like that is how you. feel like walking in and out of that not. only that building just the campus as a. It's beautiful in there. They got a. whole state-of-the-art, you know, sensor.

room where you can take on the. >> the Texas Tech video board that went. viral last year. >> Yeah. The whole thing. Yeah. Like they. have it all in there. It is. >> gorgeous. And it is a beautiful. building. That's the iller. >> and the players just live there like. >> Yeah. And also all athletes are able. >> tanning bed. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure it's not red light. >> So it's not just football. [laughter]. So the the large part of it is football, but like the uh dining hall. >> character out there, too. I like that.

>> Yeah, it looks. >> it's gorgeous, dude. >> That's the campus. >> Yeah, exactly. >> It is. And then right there, they redo. the practice facility on the other side, too. But cuz I guess before this, they. had absolute shite. >> Yeah, >> I guess like. >> old old very old. >> Yeah, they were very like they didn't. like talking about their facility. Everybody's like, "Yeah, Notre Dame's. nice. Notre Dame's nice." They're like, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, not nice." But I. guess the Steelers, >> I guess. Yes. I guess a lot of the. players are like, "This place is a shite. hole." So, Bavakqua being able to rally. all them to donate to it is, >> you know, hey, here's a fun fact I.

learned from uh Coach Lauren, I believe, in the strength room right there. If you. can pause right. now, oh, we missed it. So, right there. in front, I don't even know if it's in. there. Right there in front of that uh. the ramp that they have back there. First of all, the ramp is at six degree. some degree. that is perfect for speed. training. Right there on the grounds uh. right on the ground in front of that. ramp, they have four like sensor metal. pads and you know how like Chip Kelly,

you can take that video down. You know. how Chip Kelly uh had everybody pee. every morning, see where they're at? Like some people do that. They have. their guys jump every morning. >> Every morning. >> Yeah. So they have this sensor to. measure to see where they're at. >> So it's like sucks. >> Right leg, left leg. It's like five of. them across the board and I guess they. come in every morning and you jump and. it's like where you at is there any. deficiencies right side to left side. what is your standard jump where is your. jump now they were like after games.

Monday Tuesday. >> somebody was out boozing last night. >> yeah exactly so I didn't I never. experienced that or knew that that is a. potential way to test people and then as. I was thinking about I was like that's. like a pretty. >> genius way to really test explosion me. though in college I don't think I'm. wanting to go 100% jumping every single. day. That's because of what I was doing. the night before. >> But I do think they have a very good. grasp on where guys are literally at all. times in modern sports science. Sick. >> Crazy to think about. Crazy. You didn't. want to jump every day. >> No, that's that sounds [ __ ] terrible.

[laughter] Every morning I got to go and. jump. I got to sprain ankle, hammy. >> Well, jump. >> Everybody's hurt his football. The [ __ ]. are we talking about? >> Well, I think that's a part of it. I. think the jumping has exposed like hey. >> fourth day of winter workouts I got to. come here jump in the morning. >> right leg I guess like. >> hey it's different boys they're getting. paid a lot of money to do it now. >> I guess professionals. >> they are professional athletes but I I. didn't know they did that and I was.

being explained to me I'm like oh. >> you learn a lot I assume from. >> I mean the piston every day that's good. in in theory but like actually having to. do it sucks. >> sucks. >> every Everybody in the Eagles. >> Yeah, that's we all heard the horror. stories. >> PE for this guy and I got to drink this. shake before I get out of the room. >> Oh, >> no. Not even a drug test. >> I took eight of those a month for 27. months. >> I was a trader. So, >> listen, he's not the only one. Neither. am I. There's been a lot of people that. have gone through that. Jeez Louise.

>> That's the kicker, man. >> Great kicker, man. Great kicker, man. Hey, you're great on uh microphone, pal. >> Can't wait to see you on the sideline. >> We're gonna be standing in the back of. the end zone. Hell yeah. >> It's going to be good. It's. >> going to be good for you, too, buddy. >> It's going to be good for you, I think. >> Oh, no. Fuel size seats. >> So, we're not blocking anybody. >> Dan doesn't have to. >> Oh, no. You're good. [ __ ]. >> I have to go down on the knee. >> Knees. You still should probably. >> That was disgusting what you did to all.

of us. >> Agreed. >> But we appreciate your brain. >> There we go. >> All right. Let's get to a break. Be a. friend. Tell a friend something nice. It. might change your life. We're in this. thing together. The overreactions are. about to be awesome. Tai didn't think. they brought it in enough and it did not. get to the number one overall trend. I. think it was going to be tough to get to. number one this [music] morning. >> Yeah, really. >> This might be one of the best ones, too. Four overreaction cuz both teams. probably expect to win. >> Yeah, I probably get a couple of those. tomorrow. >> What else is going on? >> Guy got 10 years in jail.

You read my mind. >> All right, let's [ __ ] make a one. Yeah, >> you got it. >> You told me fast ball away. >> Yeah, I cut in a little. You got Jiren, but contact. >> like I was aiming away through a two. seamer and it's supposed to kind of run. but it kind of ran the other way. [music]. >> I didn't think about the punch out. pitch. Like I was sitting there. I'm. like he's he's up 02.

>> You're definitely going to hit me with. something. >> Oh, where'd you go? >> Catcher got you there. [music]. >> I think I got on base. >> That's in the field single. You know it. You had you had enough. Do you see his. face? He said, "I don't know. >> You don't know about. >> that's real." He said, "Mookie's a good. short stop from what I remember. I'll. give you one hit. Give you one hit, one. foul ball, and then [music] uh I did. catch. Does that count? Does that count. your foul?". >> The catch definitely counts as a two for. there. >> Okay. There's a few swinging misses.

You can. damn it something nice to change their. life. [music]. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to US [music] Bank Stadium on this.

overreaction Monday, November 9th, 2026. Hour three, the program begins now. >> FOOTBALL [screaming]. IS THE GREATEST. AND UH we are in a. place that football built here in. Minneapolis, Minnesota. What a beautiful. stadium this US Bank Stadium is. It is. roughly 10 years old. It looks like it's. brand new and tonight it will play host. to the Minnesota Vikings in the Buffalo. Bills wrapping up week nine of the NFL.

season here on Monday Night Football. Josh Allen in the brigade bring the. number one pointscoring offense in the. NFL in to take on Brian Flores in the. Vikings defense. It is the number one. pointc scoring defense in the entire. league. It should be a spectacle. It. should be fantastic. It should be. potentially monumental as we are live on. ESPN 2 tonight. We hope you will come. join us. It's not just me. The toxic. tables here at Boston Conor and at Ty. Schmidt. Patriots hat on even after the. embarrassment. I love that sweet shirt.

>> Thanks, man. This is actually one of my. favorites. I figured I'd rep it up in. Minnesota. And yeah, Patriots hat no. matter what. I mean, I was wearing this. Patriots hat when Gerro Mayo was just. hanging out on the sidelines for a year, so [laughter] I'm not too worried about. one bad game against a very good. football team. He was at the WNBA. finals. I'll have you know, that's like. the first time anyone has seen him in. public since he got fired. I mean, those. head coaches getting fired both in. college and the NFL can kind of put you. into a professional golfer's life for a.

few years because all that money is. guaranteed at Tai Schmid of the talks. the table. Obviously, Packers are flying. high. Iowa Hawkeyes might be dancing in. the playoffs. Life pretty good. >> Yeah, not bad. You know, phenomenal. weekend. And then just to top it all. off, I didn't even know, but you said, "Hey, >> we have biscuits and jam over here.". >> Yeah. >> So, this delicious biscuit and some sort. of looks so flavor. >> I know. There's like a boenberry berry. jam. [laughter]. >> Triple berry. >> Little bit of jam right It was a triple. bear. You got some jam on your face. >> Well, I don't have any jam [laughter]. left on this. Let me kind of savor that.

And yeah, there's a little bit of jam. >> Hey, T. I appreciate you putting on a. performance last night, too. >> Got to do it. You know, >> I think we did well in the city last. night. >> Yeah. Had about 10 to 15 blues. cocktails. It was [laughter]. a good time in Minnesota. >> Things really started to rattle. We were. just looking for the Sunday night. football game. It was harder to find. than you could imagine, especially with. the Timberwolves playing, and I. appreciate how much they appreciate that. team here. But yeah, we we did a little. bar hopping last night. [laughter]. >> The only bad thing was Bill telling us. to go to Tom's Watch Bar. That place. freaking stinks, man.

>> No, the only reason why it stinks is. because it was packed. So, >> it was packed. >> The place was packed cuz it doesn't. stink. For us, it stunk cuz we were. looking for a place to watch a game. We. did go to an Irish place last night. >> We were recommended best potato soup in. town. >> by Big John here who's from the. northeast side here of Minneapolis. >> Sucking down a couple biscuits as we. speak. >> [cough and laughter]. >> Can't get enough of a biscuit and jam. >> Hey, Blockhead over there. Hey, you got. a little biscuit and jam. Yeah, he. certainly did. He said, "You want the.

best potato soup in the state, you go to. this place." So, we were sitting at the. hotel. We said, "We got to go have the. best potato soup in the state." We go. over there, we assume Sunday football. would be on one of their five TVs. It is. not. Just Timber was timber. Timber was. like, "All right, we got to leave.". >> The Wild wasn't on, too. >> Exactly. And by the way, wowed tough. times. I think from my understand. putting the bears on. >> I understand. It was good game. I mean, I don't want to see it. >> So we we get to this place and we just. assume we order drink. We have drink.

there. Hotel we have drink there. We. have drink at this place. Nine of us go, "Oh, we can't have a game." We get up. and leave like, "Wow, John Taffer would. be certainly upset that just nine exact. customers that you want are walking out. of there." Lady from Irish Pub comes. running out. Guys, >> wait, wait, wait. >> What are you looking for? I go, "I think. we just kind of want to watch Sunday. Night Football, you know." And she goes, [snorts] "Yeah, you're going to want to. go.". >> Yeah. Get the [ __ ] [laughter] OUT OF. HERE. >> IT WAS THE GREATEST. SO, we go to Tom's. We walk to Tom's. Tom's was packed.

>> 30,000 people in there. >> I had no idea. Tom, it was all Buffalo. Bills fans. I I mean, every Buffalo Bill. fan. It was It was absolutely We should. have caught ahead. We should had a. little bit more of a clue what we were. walking into. There was nothing open out. there. So, we obviously snag one on the. way. Let's go to another place. Snag. one. Go to another place. Just in a. hunt. We end up at Depot. We appreciate. Depot bar last night. Right next to uh. >> Oh, a legendary uh music place it looked. like. >> Yeah. >> The Roxy. >> No. >> Was that the name of it? >> Does Prince have a borrow here?

>> Yeah, probably. I think that was it. >> Ray. >> That might have been it. Yeah. >> The room I was in at the hotel we were. in last night. Four portraits of Prince. He was just every room he walked into, he was. giving you a good look. Besides Gordon. Bombay is the biggest star ever to come. out here. >> Besides who? >> Gordon Bombay. >> Prince is the biggest star. >> You don't know. >> And they know it. He He's on the side of. three buildings down there. I I mean. Prince is everywhere. Seventh Street. Entry was the name of the place, I. think. But that was maybe the entrance. We walked by it.

>> No. Yeah. First Avenue and Seventh. Street Entry. >> Yeah. There it is. It was I mean who's. who on the wall on the side of the wall. on the outside. >> Limp Biscuit. >> And it was locked. It was lacked. >> Yeah. >> Duran. Yeah. >> Huh. Duran Durant. >> Beatles. >> Holy. >> See. >> Tony. the flow. >> Like the Hollywood stars. >> Yeah. This was the place we're at. Depot. had the Sunday night football game on. there. We appreciate that. I don't know. if Depot's ever seen us walk into that. place either. You know what I mean?

>> I don't know. It's right next to the. stadium. Had some THC concoctions. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Ice cold tall one, please. >> Oh, seem like it. I don't I bought I. bought 10 milligrams last night of the. purple drink that they had a little bit. It started getting me going. It was. nice. Great time last night. >> Phenomenal onion rings. >> They were great. >> Phenomenal. >> And the chips or nachos were. unbelievable. >> Nachos were so good. >> Nick had a pizza at one of the places we. went to. >> Uh he had mozzarella sticks at another. place we went to. Then he had a full.

thing of nachos. >> Huge plate of. >> Nick. Nick had 47,000 calories in three. different places that we were at. Then. he got a little tired at the other end. of the night. None of us [laughter]. It was unbelievable. Nick was eating his. way through Minneapolis and uh. >> we loved it. Tonight is going to be. spectacular. But it's not just about. tonight whenever you talk about this. particular day. >> No, no, no. >> It's about how fans are feeling about. how their teams are feeling at this. exact moment. We've arrived at another. glorious overreaction Monday. I put a. tweet out this morning saying, "I can't. wait to hear what you guys have to say. All you got to use is the hashtag,

>> I don't want to overreact, >> but. good to be here with you guys for this.". Let's hit to them. Ty said it wasn't as. good as he thought cuz all the favorites. won. So the winners win, losers lose. Maybe that [laughter] doesn't change. anything. Here's from Evan Fox, Notre. Dame legend there on the right side. # I. don't want to overreact, but I can't. believe you internet bastards. Gillist. my head coach. Fix the offensive line, hired a mastermind and offense. coordinator. Didn't panic with the. defense. Four wins in a row. Top of the. class in the NFC. Build the statue.

already of Motor City. Dan Campbell. He. did get Gillis. He did not get Osama. bin, which I think is good news. Let's. go to Foxy. Foxy, you're pumped about. where this Lions team is. It does feel. like they're back to being the brand new. Lions. >> Yeah, last year was a disaster and every. single problem we had. As I said, Dan. Campbell fixed all of them. Yesterday. was a bit of a ky affair against the. Dolphins, and it shows that, hey, we can. win in different ways. The defense. actually won us that one. At the. beginning of the year, you would have.

said we had to score 31 or more points. to win any game we were in. So, I'm. really really happy with what they've. done and what Brad Holmes has done in. the offseason. He got a lot of hell from. Lions fans. Brad Holmes, every move he. makes continues to be great. So, I'm. happy with the Lions at and continue to. go here. >> Okay, good luck to the Lions. Kevin. Shepard was getting fired every single. week the beginning of the season. Now, now they're all the way back. Let's go. to the next overreaction. This one's out. of Foxboro. Shouldn't be that bad. # I. don't want to overreact, but that was. one of the more pitiful watches as a.

Patriots fan since the Draw Mayo days. Everything stunk. However, Jordan Love. and the Packers gave the Patriots a. mid-season wakeup call and I now expect. them to light it up the last eight. games. Patriots back to the Super Bowl. is in play now more than ever. I like. that overreaction out of Yukon, man. >> And it's genuinely how I feel. I I truly. think that a loss like this in the. mid-season area where it's not November, late November, December football, it's. right at the start of November. We go to. Munich next week against the Lions. That. is a great get back spot to be in,

especially being over there. Kind of. showcase the world, hey, Drake, the. Patriots aren't that bad. And all of our. fivestar guys, Gonzo, etc., etc., ETA, who didn't play great can now kind of. maybe have a little bit of a, you know, coming back party, if you will, in the. morning prime time spot. And who knows, you know, maybe a Jonathan Taylor or a. Derk Henry or somebody gets traded up to. New England because we got beat so bad. and we need to kind of overcorrect. >> Yeah, a lot of these teams doing very. well before the trade deadline that were.

potentially going to be buyers might. slow down some of the store. Now, Jacksonville Jaguars have made a couple. massive moves today. Will anybody else. follow suit? We shall see. Let's go to. Woody's hog. >> Okay, nice. >> This is Bertram the butler. Woody's hog. We don't think that's an animal. We. think he's referring to. >> me. # I don't want to overreact but. >> Shane the third Riker. >> Genius. Absolutely genius. >> Has got to go. The Indianapolis Colts. have literally nothing to play for and.

everyone in Lucas Library should wear a. brown paper sack. Win, lose, I don't. care. Football is meaningless in. Indianapolis. And I like to let Woody's. hog know the good thing about tanking. this year is the Jets get our pick. >> Yeah. >> So, every loss is helping them. And. that's what people of Indianapolis have. always wanted to do. Help out a team in. New York, New Jersey, and get them maybe. the number two overall pick. I assume. Colts fans were pretty loud in this. hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but. internet streets.

>> certainly. Uh, a couple other ones. saying, you know, that while the the. play on the field isn't necessarily. impressive, the fact that they were able. to close the window so quickly so fans. didn't jump out of it uh, in like a mass. exodus, mass suicide kind of thing. Uh, they're they're, you know, mentioning. that, but hey, listen, not good. >> Mass exodus. >> Not good. Anytime you're getting Osama. bin and then you're also getting third. Reichen in the same in the same season. >> I didn't even know that was possible. >> I thought we were going to win that. game. Like I. >> No, you didn't. Tone to the boys fault.

We gave up a chunk. Play late. But uh. back to that name. I don't I don't get. the name. What's the reference there? >> Third round. >> I got Nazis. >> Yeah, I'm sorry. >> Now we're going to go play football. there next week. >> Grow the game. >> in Indianapolis. We got a football game. >> No, there's a game in Germany next week. >> Good. Everybody's made mistakes in the. past. We got them now. They are massive. football fans over there. Oh, yeah. >> And I don't like what they're doing to. Shane Stiken right now. Okay. This guy. was out of hand. Could he ever win? No,

I I don't I don't think he could have. ever won. You go back. I'm not doing it. right now. We'll do this later this week. if anything happens. I think I know. where it started and where it ended for. Shane Snake. >> I like that he uh Dan Jones does choose. to end every game with an interception. >> I mean, it's dagger route like everybody. knows it's coming. He's. >> Yeah, but he's still throwing it. >> Let's move on. It's not even. >> Yeah, I'll tell you. I was in the. building, heard a [snorts] lot of um. Exactly. heard a lot of fans, like three.

of them louder than everybody else as. the team was jogging in halftime to. Shane. >> Stiken. >> telling him to to put Anthony Richardson. in a [ __ ] game. Heard a lot of that. >> I genuinely don't know at this point. I. I don't know what I don't know. >> You might as well. >> Yeah, why not at this point? >> Well, now we're past the point of. putting him in there where maybe we. could showcase him, trade him, too. So, >> yeah, that ain't happening. I want to. play QB for the Colts, man. Why can't. one of us just go out there and spin it. a couple times? I want to play.

>> See what happened to Joe Hill yesterday? >> Yeah. Arville Ree said, "How you doing?". That was like Anthony Richardson from. the Baltimore preseason game actually. where he just got absolutely blown up. It's not an easy position. Maybe Anony's. ready. Maybe we're far too gone for. that. And is Daniel Jones going to get. traded? I think tonight has big. implications on that. >> Yeah, I don't know who's going to trade. for Daniel Jones. Um that would be. crazy. But. >> Barntormers maybe. >> Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Yeah, the Fisher. Freight. They they might try [laughter]. to sell sell some some tickets. >> Evan, we know this is how the game.

ended. There are other highlights in. there. >> I will say you guys found a star. >> You guys found a star. So when you sell. Jonathan Taylor for on the dollar, >> you got Seth McGan coming in. >> We give this guy a touchdown. This Seth. guy number 20, he's very good for us. We're very grateful for him. Should we. not be feeding Jonathan Taylor. touchdowns if we're trying to trade this. guy? >> Fair point. >> If we're going to have him on the field. risking injury and we're going to trade. him, we should at least get him into the. paint whenever we have when he lost his. shoe.

>> Came off. >> We'll call a timeout. Get his ass back. out there. Jonathan Taylor two. touchdowns. Good news. As opposed to. Jonathan Taylor hasn't run for 100 yards. in two weeks, hasn't scored a touchdown. All of a sudden, people are going to. start talking like he's not the one of. the best players in all ball. He is. I. like where uh Woody's hog was at. Let's. go to the next one. This one's great. Fantasy guru one. # I don't want to. overreact, but Mike Mcdickhead, >> I liked that. >> Needs to go. [laughter] Chargers have. gone nowhere. Seeing this guy on TV. trying to determine if what he's looking. at is a play sheet or a goddamn Chinese.

takeout menu is just embarrassing the. football. Move on and save Herbert's. career. They they've really been going. after McDaniel over there because what. has become since he's become their. offense coordinator, which is the worst. ball Justin Herbert's ever played. Uh. he's throwing ham and ham and cheeses to. everybody. People are saying he's going. to do it. He is doing it. He has. regressed mightily when everybody. expected him to be an absolute. superstar. What's the new piece in the. building? It's McDaniel. I even saw some. people saying.

>> Mhm. >> he [clears throat] wanted to get away. from the field. He went up to the booth. to get a little further away from the. action. A little bit more aerial. >> Yeah. >> They're saying he's not far enough away. from the booth. >> How much further can he go? >> They wanted him to do this in Ukraine. >> Okay. >> What? >> Yeah. >> For the front line. >> That'd be so hard. >> Gy, please. My eyes on X. Is there not a. contingency of people or Chargers fans. saying that McDaniel moves away from the. field to get a better view on it? Obviously didn't move far enough. Let's. maybe pick him up and drop him over in. UK other war zones I think is what they. were saying. I don't know. >> Yeah, they're saying that's still not. far enough.

>> Where else you going to send him? >> I watched a lot of going on. I guess the. moon I watched every snap of that game. to see if they had a camera on his. shoes. They didn't. I was very. disappointed. >> Yeah, but if they were doing good. >> He didn't have shoes on. >> Yeah. >> He went shoeless, Joe. Hey, McDaniel, we. still appreciate your contributions to. ball, but this has been an absolutely. disappointing failure out here with the. Chargers and uh they like their gash. >> Yeah, how can you changes? >> How why would you what's the what's the. point? I mean, at least they like if you.

you tell me Jeremiah Smith on the. Chargers next year, we're going to do. this whole song and dance again where. the Chargers are going to be awesome. >> Jeremiah might go back to school. >> Mike McDickhead won't be there though. >> No, >> maybe. >> Will Harbaugh. Let's go to the next one. He might be a Colt. He might be a. savior. >> He's playing QB for the Colts again. >> I Yeah. [laughter]. Head coach, starting quarterback, Ring. of Honor member. I don't know how often. that has happened in the history of the. NFL. We're ready for it over here. Let's. go to Tanner Ryan. # I don't want to overreact, but JLo.

treated Gonzo like page six treated. Ganon is launching [ __ ] nuclear codes. with this defense. And one isn't even. back yet. MVP, assistant coach of the. year, Super Bowl are all coming. God. bless Green Bay, Wisconsin. You're the. one picking these. >> What the [ __ ] man? >> That's not cool. >> Well, I told you. Hey, >> that's not [ __ ] cool. >> Listen, page six, what the [ __ ]. >> Well, you should have seen what other.

things people were saying. This one was. pretty tame in comparison. Yeah, you. could assume what jokes were flying. after, you know, this morning. Okay. Especially with the love. >> Exactly. And recent news of maybe a. comeback. You can understand. >> Okay. But. >> so I did my best to find one that wasn't. just incredibly inappropriate. way. >> Will you send me the ones that you. couldn't? >> No, they've been deleted. >> They're not allowed. Not even allowed to. see your eyes cuz I know it'll somehow.

make its way onto the program. But on. that note, >> I appreciate everything that just. happened there. I think he did a good. job. And JLo does feel like he is a guy. >> Yeah. >> Isn't it interesting? JLo is your. quarterback. Used to be A-Rod. A-Rod and. JLo used to date, right? >> Yeah, they did. >> Wow. Love really coming together in a. lot. >> That ended terribly though, so we don't. I don't I don't want to think like. >> And I think Favre actually did them the. wedding. >> Oh, yeah. Really? >> For A-Rod and JLo, I believe he was. >> I know him and A-Rod are very tight.

>> Yeah. >> Aaron or Alex? >> Alex Rodriguez and Brett Far like super. good friends. And we know Aaron and. Brett are tight now. >> Y. >> and we know Aaron and A-Rod probably. pretty tight. Alex Rodriguez, >> I would assume so. >> A A-Rod and A-Rod. >> Yep. >> So maybe it's all coming up for you guys. to win the Super Bowl. >> I won't deny it. >> Jordan Love is a good player. >> He's really good. >> Do you believe in the floor down the. stretch? >> All right. >> That remains to be seen. But when you. got a quarterback playing this good,

that was kind of the whole thing is, hey, is Lafleur winning these games or. is it just Rogers that's kind of So, we'll see. Uh, listen, I'll tell you. what. When your defense is playing like. that and your quarterback is playing. like that, that can maybe make up for. some of the deficiencies that the head. coach has. They've been ready to play. though. They've been ready to play the. last several weeks. >> Well, you know, that's. >> Hey, he made a bunch of big kicks. yesterday. >> That's what's great about Trey Smack. If. you're up by 20, 30 points, he will make. all his kicks. Uh, I'd like to see him. do it in a game where it's tied or, you. know,

>> stretch and Lambo. >> He's got a big leg. He's got a big leg. But does it matter if you have a big leg. uh when you're getting 27 and 33 yard, you know, field goal opportunities? I'm. going to need to see him make a couple. of those when it's not cut in time cuz. he has not proved he can do that yet. >> Maybe. We're all waiting. >> Exactly. >> I can't believe he's still on your team. >> Me neither. >> They really believe in him, which I. love. Maybe he'll turn into a guy who. believes in himself too. The biggest. piece of it all. >> And maybe they have that fatso just on. speed dial just waiting.

>> Chiefs got to make a decision over. there. >> Yeah, I was about to say is this this. time of year where just kickers just. this is where really you talking about. separation Saturday and like cuz Bucker. Aubrey missed a couple for the Cowboys. who we you know he was off to an. unbelievable start. Is this that time of. year or is just kind of like an anomaly? >> Yeah, I wonder if leg speed's starting. to slow down. you know, long season, halfway through the season, you uh could. potentially be dealing with something. So, if you deal with something, you're. not swinging as fast or so then you have. to your timing all changes up. So, everything's timing and it's all. happening so quick. So, if you have a.

little bit of soreness or a little bit. tired, a little bit of a tweak, all that. can go off, let alone Bucker had been. dealing with his knee out. I mean, >> he missed the he missed the same kick. fire close. That was crazy. >> Yeah, that anytime you get a re kick and. you miss it again, people aren't going. to like that. especially in the NFL. Uh. it's like a mulligan, you know, like you. get a mulligan at it, you're not going. to miss it. College kids aren't going to. miss it. >> Kicking is easy contest guys don't miss. the mulligan. Like that is kind of the. thing. So him doing that crazy. situation. We'll probably find out he's. got a little something wrong with him. Let's go to the next one. This is Justin.

Perry # I don't want to overreact but my. father has Alzheimer's. >> That means I'll probably get it. I used. to be sad about it, but then I realized. [laughter]. I'll be able to forget all the years. I've wasted on the Atlanta Falcons. Also, [ __ ] Nick Folk. Nick Folk's got a. lot of good football. [laughter] Where. Dre come from, >> Justin? >> He missed a kick and he got commentator. cursed. Okay, >> it was his first miss since 2017. >> 17 like 115.

straight made field goals from inside 40. >> and he misses it in Spain and all of a. sudden this guy, >> thank God I'm getting Alzheimer's. I. don't have to see Nick Folk anymore. Hey, we hope you're okay. >> I like the positivity of this. >> Yeah. Tell your dad we love him, too. But man, I'm sorry for all of that. Let's go to the next one. Derek Bridges. # I don't overreact, but Big Dom has. lost his fast ball. Locker room's. broken. Offense with a C. This must be a. Canadian. Looks like a boozed up rap. sheet. Seven straight losses. At this. point, the only thing flying in.

Philadelphia is the standard of. incompetence. An absolute embarrassment. Anyway, >> go Birds. >> Go Birds. >> Philadelphia Eagles fans sitting in the. middle of quite a fire. And uh I don't. know how they get out of it. I genuinely. don't know how they get out of it. I. don't know what it looks like. We were. reading Arvel [snorts] Reese just. >> Bazooka Joe got his brain stacked. [laughter]. >> I mean that's a tough spot. >> Popped up though. He did. >> very tough. Former Patriot, former. Cowboy getting an opportunity with the. Eagles to start after being there for a.

few weeks. And the New York Giants. defense has seven sacks. Dominates the. game. Arll Ree gets three of them. including that wide open shot. This does. not look like the Eagles. >> No. And I think Eagles fans are about. sick of saying, "What do the Eagles look. like?" Though, you know, if you're. moving on from your best offensive. lineman, >> you got a lot of drama around uh the. head coach every single day. Your. quarterback ends up with a very, very, very serious situation with lot just. some years aren't your years, and it. feels like the last couple years haven't.

been the Eagles fans years. And they're. never just going to accept that. They. would like to be good right now all the. time. >> And it kind of started with Lane. Johnson. Like Lane Johnson just kind of. calling it. Yeah, >> probably should have been the note to. all of us like, okay, this is not going. to end well in Philly this year. Now, all this Eagles talk though, them being. two and seven, seven straight losses. Maybe they do a stike in for Sirani. trade. Oh. >> Uh, at the at the buzzer tonight and you. guys end up with Nick Serriani. >> I saw a couple tweets with Siri coming.

back. They were calling him sorryi. >> Yeah. What? >> Yeah. I don't love it. Let's go to the. next one. This is KC Jones at KCK. Jones4. Hashtag I don't want to. overreact, but Todd BS better show up to. the coaches meeting with a bar of soap. inside a sock and beat the absolute dog. [ __ ] out of our offense [laughter]. coach. 10 points off of five takeaways. I miss Mike Evans so much it hurts. [ __ ]. >> Yeah, >> Tampa Bay Rushingers not having a blast. down there on the offensive side. Going. to have to get it sorted. >> It was like Anelone gets a pick and then. literally the next play is a pick six.

when they had all the momentum. Caleb. gave them all the opportunities in the. world last night. They were getting ton. of pressure. It was just like. >> that play was nasty though. >> It was Jaylen Johnson looked really good. there. Um. >> the offense I mean yeah they've won. rushing the ball the last two weeks but. you you can't just I mean you can't rely. on that every single game. Bake looks. like he's still hurt a bit but uh. >> God. Yeah. I'd be so mad if I was a. Buccaneers. >> No downfield passing threat like run. game. But that if you go back to that. wide copy replay that was they had the.

uh linebacker on the outside playing. like a cover two corner. So he started. out there with the tight end. They. motioned down. Paul right here. So tight. end started out wide. He motioned down. So Baker's thinking, "Okay, this has to. be man-to-man coverage." Nope. Linebacker stayed outside. Jaylen. Johnson stayed a nickel. He expected. manto man. Did not sit. And Jaylen. Johnson needed this play really, really. bad. He's had a rough year. They paid. him. Big time corner for them. They need. better production out of there. But. yeah, this was a pick fest all how many. what? Five, six total intercepts, I. think. >> Unbelievable.

>> Let's go to the next overreaction, shall. we? This is from @ cheesegraater FTP. [ __ ] the Packers. # I don't want to. overreact. But the Bears are the best. team in the NFC North after overcoming. five turnovers by a top defense and. still pulling out the victory. This team. has championship DNA throughout. And. Caleb will return to MVP form after the. buy. Bear. good, better, best. Never let it rest. till your good is better and your better. is best. >> And [ __ ] the Packers. >> Bears are allowed to do that. Packers.

look really good though. I want to let. you know cheese grater. Obviously, Caleb. Williams has four picks. He talked about. how he's had three picks in high school. one time, three picks in college one. time. Tonight just happened to be the. night that he does that. He'll come back. stronger and better from that. Jeffrey. Simmons has become a game wrecker on the. defensive side. The Bears are for real. Kairo Santos hits a gamewinner. Feels. like he never ever misses. Roma Dun. starting to cook. This Chicago Bears. team is going to be a team that's in it. down the stretch. NFC North might have a. few of those. Let's go to the next one. This one's from Steven Algreta. # I.

don't want to react, but victory Monday, but we barely beat what's left of the. Colts. We're dead in the water. The more. we stink, the more ridiculous Shotties. comically large play [laughter] she. looks. That being said, Ner's next week. And if we beat them, I'm back in on the. Cowboys Super Bowl. Yeah, could be a. tough one with the Niners and the. Cowboys. But you get a win over a good. team, all of a sudden everybody gets. excited. Now, Cowboys beat the Colts and. all I hear all morning on TV is. everybody being like, "Cowboys are dead. Cowboys are dead. We're still a.

professional football team. Still got. guys that can uh, you know, compete. I. think winning that game is a big deal. Easy to get down. Yeah. >> And not be fired up for this Colts game. in Indianapolis. Cowboys fans took over. the stands. Team is quitting on the. other side. These are still professional. athletes, though. There's a chance that. you could suffer a historic embarrassing. loss. They don't. They get a win. They. battle through. I think that's a big. deal. I think it's going to be a lot. easier to get up for the Niners than it. was for the Colts. They get out of India. with a dub. I think that's good, not.

bad. >> Yeah, a win is a win in the National. Football League. Now, there we are at. the point in the season where we're. seeing the spreads and we know who the. teams are. So, when you're becoming. yourself and the team, hey, we want to. beat the [ __ ] out of teams that we. should beat the [ __ ] out of that'll make. you feel better after the game. Even. with the Bears after that game, you saw. the Ben Johnson post game better against. best. It was, you know, not as much. energy, but you got to get a win. However, you got to get it done. The. Lions, they didn't have a great. offensive production type day, but you. go down to Miami, you find a way to get. one. Sneak one out of there. So, wins a.

win in this league. Find a way to get. one. >> Yeah, everybody's killing the Cowboys. cuz they only beat the Colts by a few. >> Colts are going to give everybody a. problem. It's going to be a close game. or it's not. >> Yeah, they give her move. >> See, the Jacks that a perfect example of. a team they're showing up to places. Hey, we're favored by this. We're going. to beat the [ __ ] out of the bad teams. >> 20 points. They got 20 point dubs on a. regular basis, which is why Liam Cohen. not. >> They got the Titans this week. They're.

favored by 10. So, >> so they're going to cover that. >> A lot of people feel about Liam Cohen. the way Chuck McDonald does. >> I don't like what Chuck did. >> Chuck a chance. >> Chuck didn't like what he did either. >> He apologized. >> He did apologize. >> Got caught up. It's easy to get caught. up in the moment of Thunderdome, man. >> Fun if he keeps doing stuff like that. late in the afternoon. >> Yeah. I mean, he had quite a day. >> He did. >> He had quite a day on Thursday. I got. when it was announced game day is going. to Boise Boise which is where Chuck. lives you know full time all capital. letters. Is this real?

>> Is this is this [laughter]. is this I know you have a hotel. probably. I got fivear accommodations. for you at the house. >> You and Gumpy both come stay at the. house. Got full suite overlooking a golf. course. We got a pool. If you want us to. heat it back up, please come. He's a. hospitality community for the entire. city. We can't wait to get out to Boise. And uh Liam Cohen, I don't like how they're disrespecting. what he's done down there. I know John. Harbaugh gets to the Giants and the. Giants are a massive team. Big city, every yada yada yada yada yada.

>> It's like the [ __ ] Jaguars, dude, are. unbeatable. I think we should give that. guy maybe some credit. >> Gladstone, too. >> Yeah. Yeah. Stoner, little 26-y old. general manager down there making a lot. of plays today. I assume they're only. getting started in null. Let's go to the. last one here. This one's from Todd. Villa. # I don't want to overreact, but how. quickly everybody seemed to forget that. the 49ers are the best team in ball. Elite defense and MVP party is getting. it done with whoever's left at wide. receiver. This team is winning the.

[ __ ] Super Bowl. #Bang bang niner. gang. Congrats to them. And to get the. Forest Buckner back. >> Yep. >> I don't know what the stats were, but uh. Raiders didn't run for anything against. him. Uh I don't think they were able to. do much. And he got introduced last. That was what a fourth round pick was. worth from the Indianapolis Colts. We're. completely defeated without Buck. Niners. continue their dominance. They are. undefeated with Buck back in the. building. There's a photo from the. locker room afterwards. Did you see. this? >> I did not. >> Buckner hanging out. George KD's in. there. Bosa's got a big old hog in.

there. Duce Jack's hanging. I I mean it. is. And they said Buck looks like he's. never uh left. Back like he never left. It literally looked like that. It looked. like he said Here it is right here. >> Jesus Christ. Yeah, Christian McAffrey's. in there. Looks so happy to be home is. what Alex TR saying. It's like it's like. he never left. You check on far right. Absolutely strapped. Jesus. Damn. >> Yeah. Bosa in the middle. He he has old. school tin by the way. I think he has. half of it. Christian McCaffrey there. George KD living his best life. And then.

Buckner saying, "Thank God I'm back. here." Which is what he said he did when. he found out he was getting traded back. to the Niners. Hit the knees. >> Thank the Lord. And he's back there. >> What a feeling it's got to be for him. Simmons. You go from there and you just. get into a whole new bu just a breath of. new. >> worst teams in the league, the number. one teams. >> So, we got to talk to Jeffrey Simmons. last week before Monday Night Football. And I know Jeffrey a little bit. I've. met him a couple times. I got a chance. to know him a couple times. He's the. man. He is phenomenal. And not that he.

needed me to say this or anybody to say. this, but I congratulated him on getting. traded to the Bears. Very hard for him. to get traded. He was a pillar of the. Nashville community. His family's down. there. The human aspect of it is. terrible, but it was so obvious that. like this is going to be good for the. Jeffrey Simmons brand, brother. Yeah. Like everybody on earth is about to. learn about you. And he did. Night one. Yep. Then he backed it up again. And. then guess what? Every game going. forward like he has done with the. Tennessee Titans. He's going to disrupt. the game just like Miles Garrett coming. back. I I mean it is.

>> the Jeffrey Simmons brand by the end of. this. He's gonna be up for defensive. MVPs and [ __ ] going forward. And uh. that's what happens whenever you go from. the outhouse to the penthouse. And uh a. lot of people could experience that. before tomorrow at four o'clock. >> Oh yeah, >> that's true. >> Like you said, even awards because now. people both his games for the Bears have. been prime time. He's gonna be prime. time. He's gonna be in playoff games. Like. >> there it is. Defensive player of the. year is up to third now. >> Okay. He's got prime time games down the. stretch against a bunch more. >> Everybody's going to see him. He's going. to kill he's got those sleeves. Everybody's going to literally see him. just.

>> throw bodies around. Noon at Christmas. or at 1:00 on Christmas, he's got the. Packers on Netflix. He's he's going to. kill that game as well. Even though the. Packers might be able to get a win over. this Bears team, >> Thanksgiving against the Lions. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah, Jeffrey Simmons brand is going to. be hotter than ever. Stinks personally. to get traded from a city in which you. wanted to call home for the rest of your. life and you have your roots in. But. whenever you go to a place that is in. the middle of a Super Bowl run, your. entire brand and name and legacy and. football life changes alongside of it. >> Oh yeah.

>> Look at a statue up here in Chicago. He. wins. >> Mhm. >> He knows that. All right. In all eyes. turn to tonight, boys. Buffalo Bills. traveling to take on the Minnesota. Vikings. AJ Hawk took the Bills minus. three. I'll make my pick on Monday Night. Countdown. Before last week, I think I. was in the lead on Monday Night. Countdown on picks at the games, right? I think it's 500 thing. I don't think. it's that good of a record. >> It's been tough. >> Still in the lead. >> Tough games. >> Tough. I'll make my pick then. Uh toxic. table at Boston Connor. We're going to. be on the call. So maybe.

>> Oh, yeah. Herby rule. >> Yeah. >> You want to opt out entirely? No, I'm. taking the Bills. >> All right, that's tied. >> I think we can clean sweep this one. Uh, I don't want to speak for anybody else, but. >> we know Carl Wentz. We know Carl Wentz a. little too well. [laughter]. >> Okay, two Bills there table one half the. hammer Cowboys AP Tone Bills minus three. or. >> three Bills. It's got a nine-year NFL. vet Darius J Butler going to be on a. call tonight. Field Pass ESPN 2 as we.

How. do you like it? >> I guess I'll stick with the trend of the. week. Um the favorites winning. Wow. >> So yeah, I'll go with I don't want to do. it. >> We're in their house. >> I don't want to do. >> You know what? You know what? Nope. I'm. going back. I'm waffling. >> You're going to. >> I like your defense. You play defense. >> I like Flores. I like Hitman.

>> I like Carl Wentz. Give me THE MINNESOTA. VIKINGS. WOW. WOW. I WAS ABOUT to say. son of a [ __ ]. >> I think the entire Minnesota Army is in. the building down there. There's been. some action that has started. >> Hell yeah. >> To buzz here on the um far side. Far. side. Yep. That's where we're headed. >> We thank them for their service.
