>> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. [screaming]. sport. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode the thunderdome on this. magical overreaction Monday December. 15th 2025. This sports program begins. now. Football. >> it's the greatest in week 15 of the NFL. Sunday slate tied a record that the NFL. has had for the most teams to come back.

and with at least a 10-point deficit. It. was magic and chaos across the entire. slate. Brian McCarthy, the NFL PR, who. answers his phone by saying McCarthy. here and you say, "Wow, you're out of a. movie." Well, the movie that he's from. is the NFL is the best league on earth. And every stat that he puts out says. that six teams won in week 15 after. trailing by at least 10. That ties a. single week record. It was the Buffalo. Bills who were down 21 zip. Actually had. me put out a tweet that said, "Wow, belt. to ass in Foxboro. It's the dawn of a.

new chapter in the AFC East." You could. tell that Mike Frabel was telling the. boys, everybody's talking about Josh. Allen, Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills. The time is ours. We are the kings of. this AFC East. 21 zip. The entire. world's going crazy. Travis Scott's. going absolutely ham. Stefan Diggs is. doing HIS THING. I THOUGHT THE PATRIOTS. WERE ABOUT TO catapult themselves into a. different stratosphere. And then Josh. Allen said, "Please, is it cold as hell. right now? Are we still the Buffalo. Bills? Are you still in my world?" Five.

straight touchdowns. They end up getting. a huge win in what was a beautiful. comeback. But they weren't the only. ones. Seattle Seahawks saw a 10-point. deficit and came back. Obviously, we. didn't expect that from their beautiful. team. The Rams were able to do it. The. Saints, don't look now. Shuck might be. an actual player. And uh the story lines. coming out of week 15 are special. Here's five headlines that we'll hit. here in a matter of moment. The talks. table's here at Boston Connor. Sorry, man. Ty Schmidt. Sorry, man. We'll have. Adam Sheriff on here in a little bit to.

hopefully give you a little bit of an. update on what's happening around the. Green Bay Packers. Seemingly everybody. that's good on your team got injured. yesterday. >> Yeah. Ba basically anytime you lose four. starters, you know, the the loss is just. secondary. So now it's just hey, you. know, band together. Get in the get in. the foxhole together and let's go win. >> One half of the hammer down Cowboys AP. tone Pittsburgh Steelers host the Miami. Dolphins tonight as three-point. favorites. I think it's going to be an. electrifying game if it's anything like. the rest of week 15. Yeah, the Dolphins. have been really, really hot and the. Steelers obviously still playing for. number one in the AFC North after the.

Ravens victory over the Bengals. yesterday. It's going to be an awesome. one tonight. Uh Steelers love Monday. Night Football at home. They've won 22. straight at home. So, that's on the line. tonight. It's it's a big one. >> Yeah, TJ Watt missing obviously last. week there was a dry needling situation. that took place that ended with a. partial lung something, I don't know, a. collapse, had emergency surgery. They're. not ruling him out for the rest of the. year for the playoffs. definitely out. for tonight. The Steelers record. whenever he's not playing, not good. >> Tua's record playing in the cold.

>> Not good. Push comes to shove here. The. Miami Dolphins got up to Pittsburgh. early to try to, you know, kind of uh. combat the elements, get used to it. They went practice at Robert Morris, Bobby Mo, home of Wale, which we all. obviously know, a school in Pittsburgh, I believe the South Hills of Pittsburgh, not 100% sure. Nonetheless, cold as. hell. They were getting after it. Saw. some good snags. Saw some good pads. thudding up. saw guys getting used to. the cold weather that they're going to. have to deal with tonight. This is. meaningful football time. Meaningful. football time. Two and the boys in. Miami. Haven't been able to play well.

tonight. Can they continue to lurk? Can. they continue to move in the AFC? Let's. go to the other half of the hammer dime. Cowboys Bubba Gumpino. Gumpy. It's a. hammer dime show. tonight on Monday Night Football. Dolphins hot, Steelers not. Your. thoughts? >> Just got to keep pounding the rock. Hen. Ollie Gordon Jaylen Wright last game. over a 100 yards throw the ball 10 to 15. times to that's all we need. >> Here's a Hembo stat. The Dolphins. rushing during their four-game win. streak. 769 yards averaging 5.7 yards a.

tote. 42 first downs 24 explosives on. the ground. That's a lot of fun. Han has. become the guy around the league and. obviously they have seven touchdowns. through the rush game over the last four. games. Will they be able to do that. against this Pittsburgh Steelers team. tone? >> That's a good question. And so when uh. rookie first round pick Derrick Harmon. is in the game, the Steelers opponents. are rushing for 95 yards a game. When. he's out 195 yards a game, he is. questionable tonight. So it is a big big. difference. If Derrick Harman gets a go. tonight, that'll make a huge difference. for the run defense. >> Nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler.

joining us looking very cool. South. Florida obviously native Miami Dolphins. fan amongst many other teams. Because he. was a Dolphins fan and because he was a. professional football player, he picked. up numerous teams. This Dolphins team. still lurking debut and with the Colts. lost, Dolphins very much still lurking. in. >> very much lurking. You heard what Gunk. said. Kind of a different team. When you. think about the Dolphins, you think. about speed. You think about finesse and. a lot of people will call them soft. Whether you're a player, you cover the. game. So, this is a huge opportunity to. kind of change that narrative around.

them. They've been running the hell out. of the ball. We know the Steelers, they've been struggling against the run. Love the fact they went up there in. practice. I don't know how many times. you've seen that. Then didn't see a lot. of sleeves or hoodies. I saw a lot of. lot of skin, some Vaseline on the arm. So, I like that. >> What's the temperature tonight? >> 17. >> 17°. Any precipitation? >> Nope. >> Okay. So, it's going to be clear skies. I will say the snow makes it feel. warmer. >> This is somebody that is from the cold. Anytime it's snowy outside, it's like, "Wow, it feels warmer." Even if it's not. like, so whenever it's just brisk and.

cold and no snow, you think to yourself, "Wow, it's cold as hell and it's not. even fun." Like, I can't even kind of. see it or anything like that. Hopefully. the Dolphins are able to battle. Hopefully we get a good game tonight. We. should expect one with how this week 15. slate has been. Now it's time to get to. the top five. Top five. Top five. Top. five. Top five headlines coming out of. week 15 of the NFL season driven by Ram. Truck. And what you do know about Ram. Trucks is the Hemi V8 is back. >> It's fired up and. raring to go. Uh Motor Trend has chosen. the Ram 1500 as its truck of the year.

>> Wow. >> Wow. We're at awards. It is Motor Tren Ram 1500's truck of the. year for 2025. Congrats to them. Uh, Ram. Trucks also back on the track returning. in the NASCAR track Craftman Truck. Series for the 2026 season, which. obviously we talk about all the time. Now, I don't want to talk about racing. too much because the boys might take it. in a different way cuz they watch Brad. Pitt race this weekend and all of a. sudden we might have some new G1 fans. around the Thunderdome, which I. certainly did not expect. But let's get.

to the top five headlines of week 15 of. the NFL season. Listen, we're in prime. football season. We're in meaningful. football season. We're in the time of. year where football teams are playing. their absolute best. So your team's. going to lose a game potentially. Your. team, it's not over until it's over. If. you're still in it, it's okay if you. lose. So if you're the Patriots and you. lose to the Buffalo Bills after having a. 21-point lead, it's okay. That's going. to happen. A lot of good football teams. What you can't have happen is you can't. be deemed from the playoffs and gone.

Listen, new teams have been added to the. playoffs gone list. Now, obviously Jets, Browns, Titans, Raiders, Commanders, Giants, Falcons, Saints, and Cardinals. have already said, "What are we playing. for?" Absolutely nothing. Maybe the. future. Add in the Bengals. And I'll. tell you what, with this Bengals team, >> oh man, >> they get their ass beat by the Baltimore. Ravens still lurking in the AFC, the. Baltimore Ravens. But from what Joe. Burrow said last week where Joe Burrow. was saying like, "What's the purpose of. doing this?".

Period. This kind of sucks, man. I'm not having. any fun. This kind of stink. I don't know. Am I a football player. anymore? Then you think to yourself, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Jo, Jo, Jo, Jo, Joe, Jo, Jo, Joe. We need you to be. enjoying this. We need you to be loving. this. Also, you're the quarterback of an. NFL franchise. Cincinnati Bengals, who. have bet good on you. Can't have you. wondering in the middle of the season. whether or not this is what you're. supposed to be doing. Then he had the. opportunity to get on the field and AFC. North battle against Baltimore Ravens, another team that's kind of been in a. year and make up for it, maybe start.

having some fun. No. >> Yeah, >> they stunk. >> Zero fun. >> They stunk. They get absolutely. obliterated by the Baltimore Ravens. Kyle Vanoi makes a heady decision to get. the ball out of his old ass hands and. they take a pick six all the way back. But the Ravens absolutely thump the. Bengals and going into the game we. wondered if Joe Burrow likes football. Now we know THERE'S NO WAY HE can enjoy. anything about this. So D, but my. question for you about this Bengals team. is like, hey, whenever you sign Jamar. Chase and T. Higgins to number one wide.

receiver contracts and you pay Joe. Burrow and it doesn't seem as if you're. investing in the defense at all and your. offensive line moves have never really. worked. Will you ever win with this. particular recipe? Everybody that knew. ball got going in the season said. probably not. Like in the history of. ball this is not a way to win. But if. you don't win, life is not fun. Is Joey. B at the situation now where because. they suck and because there's no Super. Bowl dreams and aspirations, he's not. enjoying what he's doing. Or do you. think maybe Joe Burrow is a human and.

there's some stuff going on in his life. plus the fact that they're ass that. maybe it's com uh combining right now. for not a great time of his life and we. shouldn't worry about what the future. holds for Joe Burrow. This is just a a. chapter or an era that will move on. >> Ah I'm not I'm not worried about Joe. Burrow yet. I'm not worried about his. future. You mentioned it. They are. humans. They are dealing with a bunch of. things. But when you are a franchise. quarterback, you know, people don't. necessarily care about that unless it's, you know, something huge, a huge tragedy. everybody knows about. if you're a. franchise guy, you know, you're getting. paid a ton of money. Uh you talked about. the receivers getting paid. Joe Burrow.

was a big part of the receivers getting. paid as well. Um now people in charge of. putting the team together, you still. have to put a team out there that can. get out there and compete. So to be on. this list to be eliminated uh before. week 15 is even over. That's you're. you're that's never where you want to be. with one of the best young quarterbacks. in the National Football League. But I'm. not worried about the future of him. I. don't think we knew Butter was going to. be in the building. I think that. [laughter] had that had a huge effect on. the game. Obviously Lamar showed up in. the AFC North battle, but I hate to see. Joe Bro at this point in the season.

pouting. >> Yeah. And I don't want to get it. It. does seem like a little bit. It does. seem like he's pouting, but we would. like to let him know we're big fans, Joey. We love you in the football world. We appreciate everything you've done, but it feels like with the way that team. is constructed, we didn't know if you're. ever going to be able to win a Super. Bowl or not. So, we hope that's not. necessarily what is keeping your. happiness alive. We hope it's the. process. We hope it's you becoming the. greatest, which you certainly can. And. maybe I don't want to throw it out. there, but we've seen some people in the. past have been going through some things. go down to a rainforest in Central South. America and come back with a whole new.

mindset and maybe and win an MVP and do. it again and win another MVP. So. whatever it is, Joey, we hope you find. it again. The Cincinnati Bengals ARE. OFFICIALLY. >> GONE FROM THE PLAYOFFS AS ARE THE. Vikings after a huge win. I mean JJ. McCarthy goes for 250 yards. He's. grading in the end zone in prime time. playing his best ball. still missing by. a mile on some but and even admitting. that he needs to get a lot better in the. offseason. So hopefully the future is. brighter for this Minnesota Vikings. team. A. >> lot of important games left for him. >> Yeah. Well, >> for him because for this is these are.

valuable very valuable reps for JJ. McCarthy. >> Yeah. And what I was Yes, I think very. valuable reps down the stretch here for. this Minnesota Vikings team. But what. we're saying is there's no meaningful. games actually because they ARE. >> GONE from the playoffs. On that note, the Dallas Cowboys who lose in prime. time 29. They are damn near gone from. the playoffs. What is everything that. needs to happen for the Cowboys? >> Yeah, so they have about a 1% chance to. uh still make the playoffs. So, not dead. yet. They just need the Eagles to lose. all of their games and they need to win. all of their uh the Cowboys need to win.

all of their games. So, we'll see. Hey, Stranger Things have happened. >> Yeah, Stranger Things not a bad show. from what I've been told and never. watched it. Stranger Things certainly do. happen in the NFL, but the Dallas. Cowboys DAMN NEAR GONE from the. playoffs. And what the [ __ ] is a. walkie-talkie doing in the owners? Now, now they're saying it's for direct. communications to the sideline for. medical. So, is every owner have a. walkie-talkie that's not trackable or. anything like that in communication? Is. that going directly to that guy with the. cowboy hat? Is that a walkie-talkie. strictly to the big cowboy hot medical.

guy? Nonetheless, we know the Jones. family took some big swings this year. We know that they got rid of a superstar. bonafide who is no longer finishing the. season with the Green Bay Packers. because of a believed to be torn ACL. which we are all hoping not to be a torn. ACL in Micah make a couple trades do. their thing lose the nine in prime time. and now they're damn near gone and then. also the team that is eliminated from. playoffs which is very abnormal at this. stage of the season the KC Chiefs are.

officially. gone. >> from in the playoffs. >> Yeah, they are. >> Which leads to number four headline, a. decade of dominance. A dynasty delayed. or deleted. >> Will this dynasty have to have a new. chapter? Will this dynasty be able to. continue for another 10 years? Maybe. another 15 years? Will Andy Reid and. Patrick Mahomes be able to carry it from. one chapter to the next? Allah, the New. England Patriots. Remember the story of. the New England Patriots? There was a.

10-year gap between Super Bowl wins. Now, there was two Super Bowl losses in. between those 10 years, both to Eli. Manning and the New York Giants. Eli. Manning probably getting into the Hall. of Fame for those two in 2007 and 2011. But 2004 to 2014 is a 10-year gap where. the Patriots didn't win a Super Bowl. They're still considered a dynasty. Will. that be what happens to the Kansas City. Chiefs? Is that what we're staring down? Or or. >> Chris Jones a little older. Yeah,

>> Travis Kelce obviously maybe at the end. of his entire thing. Andy Reid, it's. talked about every single year. Is he. going to keep going? Patrick Mahomes, he. going to be able to continue to just put. the team on his back or are they going. to be able to reload and kind of ren the. future looks like for a potential. dynasty or are they deleted and are they. done forever? >> Oh no, >> that's a question we have to ask because. they didn't make the playoffs for the. first time in 11 years. You're talking. about record-breaking stuff. Throughout. the history of the NFL, teams have made.

it to the playoffs consecutive amount of. times. Patriots obviously won forever. The Chiefs number two team in the. longest running consecutive playoff run. And then we see one pick from Derwin. James right in front of Travis Kelce and. all of a sudden it's over completely. officially. And the internet was waiting. for their demise. The internet was. celebrating in all of our faces about. the Chiefs being dead. But we've seen. this before with another dynasty. Now. granted, the Patriots once again, they. continued to go. They continue to do. their thing. Chiefs miss in a playoffs. Are they dead? Is it done or is it just.

simply delayed? Con. >> Yeah, definitely not done. Maybe delayed. there. There's a chance you could argue, you know, maybe the Mahomes Reed dynasty. together is done. You know, that's the. one thing that is the glaring difference. between the two. Andy Reid is basically. how old Bill Bich was at the end. You. know, right now, yeah, they probably. have 10 more years. As long as Mahomes. is there, their dynasty will never be. done. It's definitely going to change a. little bit. And I would assume that. maybe they saw the writing on the wall. You know, not many teams release a.

10-part docue series before a season, you know, to commemorate the three Super. Bowls they went to straight to three. They've already won as well. But. definitely sad. Anytime it goes out with. a player on their shield, you know, Mahomes getting carried out, the vibe. changes. And it is a bummer to see. You. never want to see anything end like. that. >> Yeah. Yeah. And if you think about the. beginning of this entire run that the. Chiefs had back in 2014, life was a lot. different then. You remember the ice. bucket challenge got launched. Then.

>> remember Flappy Bird? >> Oh yeah. Great game. >> They Flappy Bird was in too many. people's phones taking up too much time. of people's lives. The person that. created it was like, "We got to get rid. of this game." Deleted the game. People. who had phones that accidentally still. had Flappy Bird on it for some reason. because they didn't update the software. were being sold online for like hundreds. of thousands of dollars because they. were uh an ancient artifact basically. This flap that was in 2014. >> graduate high school then. >> high school graduate from Boston. Connor's second time getting that done. Happy was a song. Shake it off from.

Taylor Swift. You think she was even. thinking about Travis Kelce whenever she. was singing Shake It Off? I mean, 2014, a long time ago, a lot has changed in. the world, and now we're sitting at a. time wondering if this Chiefs team's. going to be able to continue to go in. the future. >> Yeah, for the future, when you look at I. saw a tweet yesterday about, you know, the Chiefs have a lot of work they need. to do to this roster and they are 31st. in the league in cap space next year. They are $35 million over the cap for. next year currently. So with with all. that needs to potentially be fixed with.

the Mahomes injury that happened. yesterday and then the cap situation, it. it might be tough for a couple who I. mean you still have Patrick Mahomes. >> On that note about the Patrick Mahomes. injury, we're at that time of the year. and we have been here for a while where. an injury to the wrong position can. derail everything going forward. Ladies. and gentlemen, it is uh. >> it is my. not honor the opposite dishonor to say. Mhm. >> Number three headline coming out of week. 15 NFL Sunday slate is injuries are.

dookie. Okay. There's no other way to. describe it. >> When you talk about dookie, you're. talking about absolute shite. >> Yep. >> You're talking about nothing good. You're talking about negativity at the. highest degree. You're talking about. dookie, man. Runny, stinky, >> absolute crappy dookie is what these. injuries are. And if you were following. along on Red Zone or all the different. games, these injuries all took place. within about a two-minute period. Micah. goes down, Patrick goes down, and then. Devonte has Sniper to his hamstring.

You're talking about three mega stars. who have had record-breaking years in. record-breaking season and. record-breaking careers for these. particular teams. All going down in a. matter of two, three minutes. Michael. Parsons, that was nasty. Little. hyperextension situation whenever he was. just heating up and becoming a closer. Ty, your negativity about this. particular injury has scared me a little. bit, but Mike has become this damn. important to this defense so damn. quickly. Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, you know, yeah, the Packers are still a. good team, but like he is the. differencemaker. He has eight and a half.

sacks in the fourth quarter. Like. there's a reason they were calling, you. know, playing Enter Sandman and calling. him Mariana Rivera because the Packers. haven't really been blowing anybody out. this year. Like the offense has been. doing enough and then boom, in comes. Micah to close out the game. And it's. not just him. It's I mean, it's no. question if you watch the games, he. makes everybody better. And. >> you know, is is it one of those things. where am I all doom and gloom? Do I. think that it's just completely done. with now? No, I don't believe that the.

Packers are still 94 and one, but it is. very hard to imagine seeing him being. out for the year. Like now, do do I. think they can make a deep run in the. playoffs and win a Super Bowl? Like, no. I don't necessarily believe that. That. is still on the table. They could still. do it, but Micah Parsons is the best. player on their team and one of the best. players in the NFL. And for it to happen. at this point in the season when they're. just starting to get healthy, like it's. a backb breakaker. >> Uh Green Bay Packers obviously a team we. thought could win a Super Bowl. Right. now odds on favorite to win a Super.

Bowl, Los Angeles Rams. They lose their. touchdown machine, their touchdown. factory. Their Devonte Adams sniper. while running a go route middle of the. game. Obviously didn't look good anytime. somebody pulls up with a hammy. Obviously not good when you're 30ome. years old. What are your thoughts here, Dutch, on them losing Devonte? Still. have Puka, who's obviously insane. Puka. is. >> insane. Still have Tyron Williams. Still. have Blake Cororm. Still have multiple. tight ends, even guys that I've never. heard of making plays for him. But.

losing Devonte, this added weapon, not. only down in goal line, but in third. down and in red zone. Is this going to. be a big enough hit to derail the Los. Angeles Rams, or what should we expect? >> I don't think it'll derail them. I think. they'll still uh finish fairly strong. The thing about them is they've kind of. changed throughout the system and. morphed this offense into using a bunch. a lot more tight ends. So a lot of 13. personnel. So that's only one wide. receiver on the field. So now Puka can. obviously be that one wide receiver even. though Devonte was that one wide. receiver and 13 person personnel for the. majority of the season. But when you.

have another superstar like Puka uh who. would still demand that coverage, still. get the production, I think they will. still be okay, especially with the run. game and the defense and hopefully with. this soft tissue injury, he can be back. uh full go uh by the playoffs. So, this. isn't uh as huge of a blow as these. other injuries on this graphic. >> We'll stop by uh with Sher here at about. 12:40 uh to kind of see everything he's. hearing. Devonte a little older now. though. >> Yep. >> Any muscle injury obviously uh in theory.

>> the older you are. But he's going to hop. in that aortal chamber. Is that what's. happening out there right now? Probably. in the slept in there. >> in his game. You know, it's not like. he's, you know, Christian Watson or like. a a burner who know Jameson. Yeah. Williams before [laughter] a lot of. injuries over there. So, his game is. finesse and and making big time catches, reading coverages, being that match up. in low red area. So, I think when he is. back in there full goal, he'll still be. the Devonte that we know. >> And then obviously Patrick Mahomes is. the injury that we chatted about to even. start this entire injuries or dookie. I.

mean, this is face of the NFL. This is. the man leading, you know, a dynasty. right now in front of our eyes, in our. face. before he was like 27 years old, he had already built up a goat type uh. legacy, a goat type resume, multiple. time Super Bowl champion, always. remained a human. You know, everybody. started hating him obviously because. he's Patrick Mahomes. He's on top of the. world. Still would have beers with the. boys, still kind of do his thing, was. trying to live his life while being. under the microscope of being the guy. who's uh leading the entire the biggest. league on earth. He put out a tweet.

obviously that was like, "Hey, I'll be. back stronger than But whenever you see. these types of stats, you understand. that we're in uh we're watching. greatness happen. And he said he'll be. back stronger than ever. Don't know why. this had to happen. And not going to. lie, it hurts. Uh but all we can do now. is trust in God and attack every single. day over and over again. Thank you, Chief's Kingdom, for always supporting. me. And for everyone who has reached out. and sent prayers, I'll be back stronger. than ever. And we love that type of work. ethic. We love that type of mindset. That is why he is who he is. But this.

sucks for the league. Debbut. sucks for. a league that we lose Patrick Mahomes. Whether you love him or you hate him, when he's on TV, he's watch. >> Yeah, you want 15 playing, you want him. in the playoffs. You want to see him. I. mean, it's it's super unfortunate, not. only for this season, but we don't know. how next season looks now for him or the. uh Kansas City Chiefs, but uh. unbelievable hit to to the National. Football League. It's crazy. He still. hasn't and won't take a snap, you know, being uh mathematically eliminated from. the playoffs in his career. And that. list you just put up with him having.

five more wins at this point in his. career is is like that is ridiculous. Even if he's done, let's say obviously. he's not done. This Chief this dynasty, if this Chief's dynasty is over like we. talked about a little bit ago, >> that'll still go down. It's probably a. mount Rushmore dynasty when it comes to. the NFL. >> He's got I believe he's got two kids. under the age of four too right now. I. mean, >> but he'll be back. >> He's got nine months till September. So. >> that's right on time, right? >> He'll be back. I. >> I agree. But let's just think about the. human like, "Hey, Mama Mahomes, good. luck out there, man." Yeah.

>> Got a guy. >> Yeah. >> Not that, you know, he's MVP. He's a. starting quarterback in the NFL. Obviously, a lot of time is allotted to. that. But now, he's not going to be able. to move. I mean, that is uh there's a. lot of stress. Just like whenever we're. talking about Joey Burrow, it's not just. like, hey, in the facility, it's in my. life. It's like, hey, we got humans. here, not just a video game. So, whenever you talk about everything else. happening with Patrick Mahomes, we're. only uh pulling for him for the good of. the league. >> Yeah. And I think, you know, like he's I. mean, he's obviously been banged up. before and I I don't know about college, high school, all that kind of stuff, but. like this is the first time he's had an.

injury of this magnitude. You know, same. with like Micah, like those guys where. all of a sudden for the most part, you. stay healthy throughout your entire. career and then you get something like. this where it's like, hey, you're going. to be down for nine months. Like that. learning how to deal with something like. that when you've never had to deal with. it before, like you can understand how. it's it's quite the blow. >> Hey, we'll miss you, Mahomes. It's. >> been by [applause] far the longest break. he's had. I know it's rehab and it sucks. the injuries, but like every season he's. gone at least to the AFC Championship or. the Super Bowl. So like that's a much.

shortened off seasonason. So now you got. to offseason starts now and you know. that be the longest by far that he's. ever had. >> A LeBron run. >> Yeah. Yeah. Remember LeBron was making. it to like the Eastern Conference Finals. every year for like 10 straight years. and then somehow shortest off seasonason. and doing it again going forward. Patrick Mahomes had to do that and this. year he was running more than ever. running more than ever, hitting people. more than ever. Like it and that rarely. happens as a goat's career goes forward. You know, normally as the goat goes. forward, the contact gets less. This.

year, he was running more, hitting more, getting hit more, and uh it's kind of a. crazy how it's all gone. But to your. point about the rest, I mean, recovery. is not rest. It sucks. What he's about. to go through sucks. All these injuries, every injury you hear about, all you. hear is a timet like, "Hey, nine months. he'll be back. Hey, this guy should be. back by the playoffs. From that point of. injury to when they come back sucks. That whole thing sucks. Hurts. The. amount of time that it takes. The uh. monotony of just having to do this.

little tiny things every single day very. rarely gets talked about. We try to. point it out. Pat Mahham's life is about. to suck to get back being healthy. As is. obviously Micah, as is every other. injury that we see take place. So, all. we can say is God speed. >> Yeah. And uh we talked about the cap. there for a second. He actually might. get a pretty sweet extension which is. going to maybe kind of motivate him even. more in the middle of this offseason. He. can continue to work. >> Yeah, maybe he gets that amortal. couple of those in his backyard. >> Creates a lot of cap space. Maybe gets a.

receiver. May maybe one back from Miami. I don't know. Just just things that. could happen. >> See, Tyreek, >> you okay? Uh thinking about him. I'm not. I'm not getting I don't want to get too. negative about it, but like. I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna say it. Well, it's like I. don't want to say it. >> Joey B saying he's not having fun. It's. like the way you guys built the team, we. all thought you guys weren't going to be.

able to win, right? Like Tyreek Hill, when you took the bag to go to Miami, the thought was you're not you're not. going to win. No. When you go. >> That was not a thought. [laughter]. >> That was kind of the thought. No. >> Hey, you're leaving a dynasty to go get. paid down there. You're not you're not. probably not going to win as much. And. then there's like a well, I want to win. It's like, well, we kind of all we all. knew that this is kind of what the case. was. It's just like Max Crosby like Max. >> Max knows they're not going to win, right? Like that is kind of the thing. He just continues to show up, which we.

massive respect. Miles Garrett, you. know, if he next year says like I'm. tired of not winning. It's like, well, we told you. You knew. You even wrote. it. you like you're not going to win. So, it's like there are certain situations. where it's like. >> you kind of I don't want to say. sacrifice, but you did kind of. acknowledge that this was not going to. be kind of with each other and then it. kind of all happens. But once again, want everybody to be happy. Want. everybody have cake and. >> eat it too. >> Eat it too. Let's go. Speaking of, let's.

go to the number two headline out of. week 15. The legend of old man Rivers. Hey, Phil. Thank you, man. >> Proud of you, Phil. I am proud of you, Phil. I'm very proud of you, Phil. It's. not just us. Obviously, the boys in. which he coaches down there in Alabama, the St. Michaels super duper. football team that has made back-to-back. playoffs. Them watching Uncle Phil, Coach Old Man Rivers scores first. touchdown in five years in an NFL game. as he finds Josh Dons over the middle.

They have an incredible lead. Wait a. second. Are the Indianapolis Colts and. Phil Rivers all the way back. this guy. fell down, got back up, he looked agile, maybe the most agile grandpa in all of. football. And after the game, whenever. he gave a quote that I think everybody. needs to hear, I think the babyface turn. for Phil Rivers was in full effect. A. lot of people burying the Colts for. signing Phil Rivers. Now, once again, I. would like to reiterate the fact I am a. Cam Newton fan. Always have been. >> It's because I watched him play live. I.

think anybody that watched Cam Newton. play or had to play against Cam Newton. >> Yep. My teammate, too. Played with him. >> Exactly. Y. >> says Cam Newton's allowed to say. whatever he wants about football. Cam. Newton is football. He can do whatever. he wants. The whole thing about is Cam. Newton a better quarterback than Phil. Rivers is a wild conversation to have. because I don't know if Cam Newton just. knows the entire Shane Stiken offense, which week 15 in the middle of a playoff. run. I don't know if it's the right time. to put somebody in that doesn't know the. offense. Now, was Riley Leonard who's. been in the building all year who's very. athletic, was he a better option than.

Phil Rivers? I think that argument is. certainly viable. But somebody that. doesn't know the offense coming in in. the middle of what the Colts are. thinking and hoping is a playoff run. doesn't seem sound to me. It sounds like. you live in a video game world as. opposed to real life world where you. don't just drop into a building and then. download the offense and then you're on. the same page as everybody so you can. operate a football team efficiently. Matt Ryan and the Colts had problems for. the his entire time because he couldn't. learn the offense or the verbiage and. then the offensive line couldn't and it.

was an absolute catastrophe. So bringing. in Phil Rivers felt like a move the. Colts were like, "Hey, we're not giving. up on the year and we need somebody. that's able to [ __ ] do our offense. and do our things." And also somebody. that commands a little bit of respect, you know, defense, offense, special. teams, everybody in the building like, "Hey, we like that guy." And also a guy. who happens to be doing something from a. coaching standpoint that is incredibly. inspirational. Listen to this quote from. the postgame from Phil Rivers. Um.

hopefully, you know, certainly I think. of my sons and those ball players, you. know, that I'm in in charge of at the. school, uh that they'll say like, "Crap, coach wasn't scared." You know what I. mean? It's like shoot. Sometimes you uh. there is doubt and it's real. And um. [snorts] you uh again, you can you can. the the guaranteed safe bet is to is to. go home or or to not go for it. And the. other one is shoot, let's see what. happens. uh you know and so uh yeah I I. hope that in in that sense that it can. it can be a positive to to some young.

boys you know or young people don't be. boys but. >> yeah it was Phil. >> oh yeah. >> anybody can do nothing as the legend. >> Ted Williams. >> uh said and then him going on there go. for it and the boys seeing it his kids. seeing it and also all of us getting a. chance to see that was a special thing a. beautiful thing and almost won it groupy. 60 field goal with less than a minute. left to put the put the Colts in the. lead. That's the longest field goal in. the history of the Indianapolis Colts. BLAKE GROUPY THIS BIG.

>> THIS GUY IS a monster. Groupy, shout out. to you coming back to the state of. Indiana and making a big time kick for. us. He walked right on the field, too. There's no question. It was fourth down. And there was probably a little bit of. an indecisiveness. Fourth and three. What are we going to do? Groupy just. walked his ass onto the field. Shane Sy. had saw it and had to go, "Well, dad gum. it. I guess we're going for this field. goal." He puts it through. Sam Darnold. gets a big return from their special. teams. Then they make a couple plays and. then Jason Meyers puts his sixth field. goal through the uprights and the. Seahawks beat the Colts 18-6.

But the story for me coming out of this. is not only Seahawks are a damn good. football team. And Jason Myers is. unbelievable. He leads the league in. field goals made this year. He's going. to be all pro and a pro bowler. He's a. special talent out there for Seattle, but also the Indianapolis Colts didn't. give up. showed up and Phil Rivers. obviously the arm isn't what it used to. be. Made a couple big throws whenever we. had to and they protected his ass and. his messaging about you know you're. allowed to go for it in this life if you. could have something was special. I'll.

remember yesterday for a long time. >> Yeah man I I really really wanted to the. win obviously for a ton of reasons but. Phil for him to go out this is something. that I know I've never seen before. somebody take five years off when they. actually come out there and have to. play. And then he was in full control. Like the first drive he was up, you. know, checking with seven, you know, eight seconds on the clock, you know, changing plays. Obviously, his arm, it. was what I expected, I guess, to see. from his arm. Wasn't he driving down the. field a ton, but he made plays and he. had us in position to win a game in a. hostile environment against a very good.

football team. So, I'm encouraged for. him and I think this definitely gives us. the best chance to compete uh going. forward with, you know, all of the. available quarterbacks that are out. there right now. >> You talk about a very good football. team. Let's just talk about the number. one headline coming out of week 15 in. our eyes. The NFC West is the NFL's. best. This group out here is outrageous. Seattle Seahawks obviously not on their. home uh home field advantage. This dude, no laces, sick, looks so cool. This dude. very good at football. McDonald, his. defense, unbelievable. A lot of people. are saying you needed a 50some yard.

field goal to beat the Indianapolis. Colts who were playing Phil Rivers. Colts are a good football team. Colts. are a good football team. A Phil knows. everything that's going on. The Los. Angeles Rams outrageous. Matthew. Stafford had an MVP like year. And then. the San Francisco 49ers. Brock Bird's. doing his dance. Brock B's pump faking. 20 yards down the field. San Francisco. 49ers obviously beat the Tennessee. Titans. Everybody's doing that. But this. Niners team with Christian McCaffrey, with Brock Perie, even though they're. without Warner and Bose on the defensive. side, it's like, are the Niners going to.

make a run at the Super Bowl? Feels like. everybody but the Cardinals in the NFC. West can do that. And this has happened. in the past whenever the NFC West has. been absolutely dominant. They have. shown up as a Super Bowl champion. >> Yeah. 2021 the four, five, six seeds. were the Rams, Cardinals, and San. Francisco 49ers. So, it is one of those. things where you would think, okay, may. maybe the division will can cannibalize. itself, but rather instead, you know, the the best of the best, the the team. that won the division, the Rams, ended.

up going on that Super Bowl run and. winning the Super Bowl against uh the. Bengals. >> Yeah. So, there's a chance here that the. NFC West does it again. And I would say. as a Colts team that had to play. Seahawks this past weekend and we got. the Niners on Monday Night Football, WE'RE GOING TO FIND OUT IF THIS NFC West. is for real. Feels like the NFC West is. uh problematic. AFC West also very good. at the football. AFC East has a couple. teams at the top with one lurking in the. Miami Dolphins. AFC North, everybody. considers that to be the trashiest. division in ball. The AFC South, the.

Jacksonville Jaguars in the league. Congrats down there in Duvall. And Texans are also problematic. Number. one defense in the NFL. Texans actually. have better odds to win a Super Bowl. than the Jaguars do right now. That's. because I think the Texans defense is. number one in the league. And I don't. know if everybody believes in Trevor. Lawrence even though he goes for six. touchdowns yesterday. Five through the. sky. They are for real. NFC North, things have changed now with some. injuries. And then the NFC South, who's. going to punch their ticket to the.

playoffs is really the entire question. So that's top five headlines coming out. of the NFL. Now let's talk about a. headline that we're about to create in. another sport that we absolutely love. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, the greatest golfer on earth. Said that. weird. The greatest golfer on earth. Ladies and gentlemen, Scotty Sheffller. >> Scotty, how are you, buddy? >> All good. How you guys doing, >> dude? Amazing. Great to see you. How's. life? You look good. You look clean. You. look young. You look like you're uh.

rejuvenated. How's life for Scotty. Sheffler right now? >> Yeah, life is good. Yeah, clean shaving. this morning. Doing well. enjoying some. enjoying some time at home. Um, but get. ready, you know, gearing back up for the. the season to start in January. >> I don't want to be uh, you know, just. bring up negative things. Texas not in a. college FOOTBALL PLAYOFF. [laughter]. DALLAS COWBOYS ELIMINATED FROM THE. PLAYOFFS. OKAY. I DON'T WANT TO SAY. football didn't show up for you this. year, but you show up for everybody. every time you get on a course. And, uh, we have the distinct honor to tell you.

I believe it's a surprise, even though. you should probably already expect this. to come. Uh, congratulations, man. You. have been named the Jack Nicholas Award. winner uh for the best PGA Tour player. voted on by your peers for the fourth. consecutive [applause]. time. You're the first time to You're. the first person to win it four. consecutive times since Tiger Woods. Can. you please tell me a little bit about. the Jack Nicholas Award and what this. means to you whenever it's voted on by. your peers as opposed to maybe outside. of golf?

>> Yeah, I I mean that that's really cool. I definitely did not expect that coming. on here today. Um, but you know, it's. it's a cool honor. It's when you're able. to receive the vote of your peers. I. think that's something that's really. special. You know, that means a lot to. me is the guys I'm playing against week. in week out to for them to vote for me. to be player of the year is something. that's really special. And that that. really does. It means a lot to me. Um, tough to put into words what it's like. to to win it for the fourth time. I. definitely never imagined that. Um, but. it was a great season. And I was I was. hoping to be able to win the award.

again. And so I'm I'm you know, very. fortunate to receive the the vote of my. peers and um yeah, it's pretty pretty. exciting. >> Yeah, it feels like they put the C on. your chest. You know, that's kind of. what this feels like. I know you guys. aren't aren't a team or anything like. that, but it feels like you've been. voted by your peers to be the one. And. uh anytime we see you playing, you're. mustwatch television, but this past. season, it felt like I don't know, and. if you have, let me know. Um, if you started smoking weed, I would. like to smoke weed with you. But it did. feel like [laughter].

there was a time last year you started. like being a little bit more comfortable. with being the face of the sport, maybe. being the face of the PGA. I think back. to, you know, whenever you gave your. full answer, very transparent about like. what is this all for? Like what is this. whole thing? And then I think when you. were giving answers, you started being a. little bit more open than maybe in years. past. It felt like you were, I don't. want to say too humble uh on a. microphone, but it did feel like you. didn't really want to be a voice. You. more so wanted to just be a player. Have. you felt like, hey, I'm the face of a.

sport. I should talk a little bit more, or have you just gotten more comfortable. with the situation you're in? And I. don't know if that question makes sense. or if you are smoking weed or not still. [laughter]. >> Definitely not. Definitely not smoking. weed. >> Okay. >> But if you do, I would like to do that. with you and on [laughter] a golf. course. Okay. Um, no. I mean, that's a good question. I think I think the amount of time I've. been put in front of a microphone over. the last couple years is has been a lot. more than the years before that. And so, I think just being in the spotlight, um,

having to do press conferences each. week, stuff like that. I think I'm just. in front of a microphone more. And so, I. think even the the guys in the media. will get tired of asking me the same. questions because I'm going to give them. the same answers. Most answers don't. change that much. And so every now and. then I'll get an interesting question. and I'll try and elaborate on something. But but I definitely don't don't think. of myself as the face of the sport or. anything like that. You know, I'm just. trying to be myself. I I love playing. golf. I love being able to compete. Um. and that's that's what I love to do and.

um hopefully I'll be able to do it for. for a long time, but for the time being. going to enjoy it and then yeah, when I. get asked a question, I try to answer it. as honestly as possible, but outside of. that, I don't I don't really think about. it too much. >> All right. Well, you are the face of the. sport and we're lucky as hell that that. is the case. and with how much you play, we're very thankful and the PGA is. certainly thankful as well. Tone has a. question for you. >> Yeah, Scotty, obviously winning this. four straight times, you have done a lot. already in your career. So, when you. come into seasons now, do you continue. to have goals to in your mind have a. successful season and is one of those.

goals this year potentially to uh get. your career grand slam at the US Open at. Shinock, I believe, is where it's at. Yeah, I would say that going into years. and going and when you look at my career. or when I look at my career, I have what. I would call dreams and aspirations, but. I'm not one of those guys that sits out. at the beginning of the year and says, "Hey, I want to be I want to have four. wins at the end of the year. I want to. have, you know, be top 10 in a certain. category or anything like that." I I try. to get the most out of myself each day. And I think when you're preparing to go.

out and play, the majors are always in. the back of your head. I think those are. the tournaments that that mean the most. to us as players. Um, but at the end of. the day when I'm at home practicing, I'm. just trying to focus on the things that. I can focus on and get prepared to go. out and play. The thing that is most. important to me is my preparation. I. want to be able to stand up on the first. tee and tell myself I did every last. thing that I could do in order to play. well and now it's time to go out and. compete. So sometimes it feels as almost. almost as if my preparation and my. practice can be more stressful than. going out and playing. Going out.

sometimes can almost be more freeing. just because I feel like when I'm at. home, you know, that's when the real. work is done. Hey, that's how all the. goats talk, by the way. Practice. supposed to be harder than the game. because you need to be comfortable and. confident whenever it's time for the. game. And it feels like obviously. there's no situation on a course that. you haven't been fully prepared for. People talk about your spin, your. distance control, all these other. things. Ty has a question for you. >> Yeah, speaking of all that, Scotty, when. you go into the off season, because I. think people who they watch you week. over week, a lot of times it'll be like,

"Oh, Scotty had his C game this weekend. and he still got a top five." And then. when you when you have your agame, you're a terminator and no one can touch. you. Like is there anything going into. the offseason where you said like, "Hey, I specifically need to get better with. my wedges or, you know, with my woods.". Or is that not really how you approach, you know, when you practice in the off. season? >> No, that that's a good question. I I. always have in the offseason, I always. have one sort of point of emphasis that. I'm looking at. Um, and so depending on.

the seasons, you know, some some years. it's been I I wanted to get stronger in. the gym. Some years it's been I want to. improve my diet. Other years it's been. my putting or creating more shots going. into the green. I always have kind of. that one area that I'm really um put an. extra emphasis on, but I'm always trying. to work on all aspects of the game. I. mean, golf's one of those games where. you're just you're trying to perfect a. game that is impossible to perfect. And. no matter what, you can always be trying. to get better. But I've never really. been the guy that has completely. revamped his swing or completely changed. something. I think in our game, we're.

always just looking for those small. incremental improvements and doing those. little things in order to improve. Um, and the margins out on tour, I feel. like, are so small these days. You know, you got guys that have so much talent. and are so highly competitive, you're. always just looking for that little bit. of an edge. >> What was the point of emphasis this. offseason, if you don't mind telling us? >> Um, kind of getting my strength back and. my body back where it needs to be. you. know, last offseason with the the hand. injury kind of set me back a little bit. And going into the year, I felt like I. battled a little bit more staying. healthy than I would have liked to. And. so, going into this off seasonason, I.

was trying to get back in the gym, um, do a lot more recovery stuff than I. would normally do. Um, and really try. and get some of that inflammation out of. my body and continue to get stronger. >> Oh, we going to be wearing skin tight. clothes. [laughter]. >> No, no, no. >> Yeah, let's get the rim. LET'S GET SIX. BACK OUT THERE. YEAH, LET'S GO. I mean, it's funny like you want to get. stronger and but you also don't want to. completely change the fabric of the. things that I've done. You know, it's. like if in golf it it's such a fine line. between, you know, trying to improve, but also not kind of removing that DNA.

And so, my body's been a certain way for. the last four or five years. I don't. want to drastically change that, but I. want to continue to get healthier. I. want to make sure that I'm putting. myself in a position where I can try and. play this game for a long time. And um, you know, that's that's kind of been the. focus this offseason, especially the. last, you know, month or so. brother. I. completely understand. I I ate and drank. terribly for a long time. It got me into. the NFL, though. Okay. [laughter] Got me. in the NFL. So then in the offseason, I'm like, I feel like I shouldn't be. this fat. This can't be good. But then. I'm like, but this what got me here. Let's not let's not change what's not uh.

broke or let's not fix what's not broke. or whatever. And then I realized once I. got into shape, turns out you do get. better. [laughter] And you know things. So, you know, I I can appreciate the. fact of like wanting to change, but we. can't get rid of what we already have. On that note, feels like every time you. were golfing, all I would hear the. commentator say is like this guy's ass. at putting, too. Like, wait until he's. able to putt and do his thing. Go ahead, Dud. >> Yeah. Being the number one golfer in the. world, how how tough was it to make that.

switch, I guess, from your traditional. blade to a mallet putter, then even the. grip, like how how uh how difficult was. that to make that change when you're. already on top of the game? Yeah, I felt like so the year I. struggled pretty uh you know a good. amount on the greens was 2023. And at. the end of 2023, I felt like I needed to. make a change. We were coming home from. the tour championship and uh I decided. to hire a putting coach, Phil Kenyon. And so Phil came in a few days later. from the UK. He flew right in and we got.

some work in before the the RDER Cup in. 2023 and made some changes. immediately. saw some benefits early in the year the. next year and then in 2024 I had a I had. a great season. You know, I we saw some. small improvements at the beginning of. the year with some technique stuff and. then going into I think it was Bay Hill. in 2024. Um we had looked at a bunch of different. putters and a bunch of different options. and ended up going with just a generic. spider putter and I went into Bay Hill. just wanted to give it a proper test. you know, be before in the past, um,

when I had made changes with my putting, it was like if I tried it for one week. and it didn't work, I'll just move on to. the next thing. And that wasn't really a. good way to get better. You know, you. needed to really give it a chance. And I. had a lot of confidence in Phil and the. stuff we were working on. And, um, I had. a great week that week. And so, um, after I think I won Bay Hill and then. after winning Beh, I'm like, well, I. can't can't switch putters now. And so, I used it again the next week. And then. I had a lot of success that year. And. then going into the the offseason 2024, um Phil had almost built up a little bit.

of a rapport with me. I trusted him. after a full year of work and the claw. was something that he had wanted me to. try since the beginning. Um but I mean. really I just hadn't worked with him. enough. didn't really trust him enough. to to make such a drastic change. And um. you know, we tested that out in the. Bahamas last year and it went really. well. And um I felt like I could improve. my putting inside of 15 ft. And you. know, that's the results that we saw in. 2025 was a big improvement. And in my. putting from that distance and um yeah, right now we're in a really good spot. >> So we're staying with it.

>> Staying with it. Yeah, >> I like that. And I appreciate the fact. that you said this guy's from the UK. I. don't know if I need to just be buying. into everything he's saying. You're. going to have to earn it. On that note, go ahead, con man. >> Yeah, Scotty, I'm more of a casual golf. fan in um the United States losing to. England in the world basically in the. Ryder Cup. Essentially broke me as a. golf fan. Um are we going to win the. [laughter] RDER Cup or are we just going. to dick around every time it comes. around cuz you know it's basically. caused me not to, you know, have too. many sleepful nights because of this.

>> Sleep less or sleepful nights? >> Both. Both. You take [laughter] your. pick. It's a nightmare. No pun intended. Um, yeah, the plan is definitely to win. the Ryder Cup. I think New York was for. all of us. Um, but you know, that's one. of the things I always hang my hat on, the preparation and I stepped up on the. first tee at Beth Paige and I had done. quite literally every last thing that I. could possibly do in order to play well. And um, it just wasn't in the cards that. week. We put up a great fight on Sunday. and hopefully we'll use that momentum. going into going into 20 gosh, what what.

what year is it going to be? 2027 Ryder. Cup. >> Yep. going to be a going to be a long. wait, but um you know, we're going to. continue to be prepared. I think I think. our team's in a good spot. I felt like. we learned a lot at Beth Page and um you. know, I think I think it puts us in a. good position going forward. >> You're the man. Congrats on the fourth. consecutive Jack Nicholas award for. player of the year, voted on by your. peers at the PGA for last PGA season. January 15th, I believe we have an event. coming up that you're gonna go claw your. ass through all the different greens.

And uh we appreciate your service to. sport, man. You're a great one. >> Well, thanks. Thanks, guys. Appreciate. you having me on. >> Hey, let's stay out of jail. [laughter]. >> Yes, sir. >> Get out of jail. Stay out of the. kitchen. I can't do anything. >> Amen. Amen. You're right with the handy. I forgot about that. Ladies and. gentlemen, Scotty Sheffler. >> Congrats to him. That was cool. >> He's the best. >> PJ Anthony chat like, "Would you like to. surprise uh Scotty Sheffller with his. fourth consecutive Jack Nicholas award?". It's like, uh, we get to talk to Scotty.

Sheffller, >> please. >> Yeah, we will. We need to have it on. Monday. It's like overreaction Monday. That's a lot of time. Scotty Sheffer. Yep. No problem at all. We're very. appreciative of him. Now joining us, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who has. more information on all the very. important things that have happened. around the NFL. Okay. Senior NFL insider. for ESPN, Michigan man. Ladies and. gentlemen, Adam Shaft. >> Chefy, >> what is going on, Pat? >> I don't know if you tweeted it or not. Breaking news. Scotty Sheffller, Jack. Nicholas, player of the year, uh, award. winner by his, uh, peers in the PGA.

Congrats, Sam. Let's get right to the. massive news happening around the NFL, though. Injuries obviously can derail. entire seasons, let alone what it does. for the players. Have some massive ones. yesterday. Any updates on any of those? And what do what should we be thinking. about some of these teams that suffered. devastation losses at key positions? >> Well, Mahomes obviously took the test. last night, so that came back. He's got. the torn ACL, which is just terrible.

Um, you have to wonder again how long it'll. keep him out now, how much damage was. done. They'll go into the knee. Hopefully, it's just his ACL. Uh, we'll. see if there's any other damage in there. as well. But obviously, the start of his. season next year obviously has to be in. question right now. Hopefully, he can. make it back. He's built differently. He. does things that nobody else does and. has done that physically before. And. hopefully that's the case right now. Micah, they'll do an MRI, but it's going. to be a torn ACL. I mean, you could see the moment he did.

it, when it happened that. the leg bent the way it shouldn't have, he reached right down non. I mean, it. was all there. Like, you're watching, you know, >> I mean, I'm not a doctor, but I've seen. enough of these now, you know, when. somebody's seriously hurt. Now, every. now and then there's a surprise and the. guy's not. But. >> in this particular case, it's a. devastating injury, and after the game, Matt Laflur acknowledged it didn't look. good. They they know what they know. right now. I mean, >> let's let's stay with the Packers. Obviously, Micah comes in, becomes a.

closer, does something that no NFL. player has done, gets 12 sacks in his. first five years, entering his prime. Obviously, huge for that Halfley. defense. He wasn't the only one that got. hurt for the Green Bay Packers. The. Green Bay Packers suffered a lot of. injuries yesterday. Who owes? >> Yeah, Christian Watson, Zack Tom, the. right tackle, and Evan Williams, one of. their starting safeties. >> Any updates on any of those out of Green. Bay Sheffy? >> Christian Watson's father tweeted last. night that that his son was fine. So. that it seems like. >> he's okay. Now what's fine is that he.

misses a game. Um fine is all relative, but he was sent to the hospital. He was. allowed to leave the hospital. He was. allowed to go home with the team. His. father says he's fine. So all the signs. obviously are encouraging for Christian. Watson. Zack Tom and Evan Williams I. don't have specific updates on. Um they. were check they were ruled out early on. so that's not great. But you know here's. a team that already was missing. Elton. Jenkins was missing Devonte Wyatt. Uh. was missing Tucker Craft. And I thought.

Rex Ryan made a great point this. morning. He's like, "This feels and. looks a lot like the Lions last year. where they're the best team in the. division. They're going to be a force in. the playoffs. They'll still make the. playoffs, but you could only withstand. the loss of so many great players before. it does impact you in some type of way. So, I know Tai's disappointed by that, but the fact of the matter is just not. the same team. It's a good team. It's a. playoff team, but I don't know that it's. a Super Bowl team right now the way that.

it could have been if all these guys. were healthy. >> Agreed. It's uh part of the game that. everybody has to deal with. There's a. 100% chance of injuries happening to. your team. You just got to hope that. it's not pillar players or game records, which certainly has happened here to the. Green Bay Packers amongst others. You. mentioned the Lions right there. They. just got bullied by the Los Angeles. Rams. Rams lose their touchdown maker. while running a go route in Devonte. Adams. Sniper gets a hamstring. Obviously 34 years old. The thought is. he'll be back. Is that kind of what. we're all hoping for at this point?

>> Well, he'll be back, but when is he. back? And and just a guess, right? It's. a hamstring injury. He's battled. hamstrings this year. They're playing. for the one seed. I I mean, he's not. going to play Thursday night in Seattle. That would be shocking to me. Um so then. the question is how much time he misses. Shawn Male updated later today. He. acknowledged yesterday it didn't look. good. My guess and just a guess is we'll. see him in the playoffs. That's just a. guess. Like this team can get by the. rest of the regular season and give him. the time he needs then and then when it.

matters really matters for this team, you have Devonte Adams back then. That's. my guess. >> All right. So, those are the big. injuries around the NFL. We'll continue. to follow your ex account to get more. updates throughout the day as test. results come back. You know, it's the. end of something special. you know, a. 10-year decade of which is a decade. obviously of dominance. Is this a. dynasty delayed or deleted? There's. obviously going to be some change going. forward for the Chiefs. Go ahead, Con. man. >> Yeah, Chefy, with the Chiefs and with. what you know, Travis Kelce has said.

over the past couple of weeks and just. the vibes in general, uh, especially. when you think about their cap situation. next year for the Kansas City. Uh, is it. safe to say that at least Travis Kelce. might be done after this year and that. he is considering retiring or are you. not there yet with Kelsey? >> No, no. I I I think people have kind of. felt that all along and and we'll see. what he ultimately decides at the end of. the year, but his I think his contract's. up with Kansas City this year. I think. he's got like an 18 or $19 million cap. number. They'd have to redo a deal. He's.

always talked about wanting to keep. playing. Um, but there are so many. opportunities out there for him. He's at. a new phase in his life obviously. I'm going to guess he he makes more. money as a podcaster than a tight end. Like the guy is incredibly successful. So I I think his future is very much up. in the air. I think it's distinctly. possible that one of the greatest NFL. connections of all time. Patrick Mahomes. and Travis Kelce may have played their. last down together. Like we may not see. that combination of people again, which.

is hard to imagine, but certainly that's. a real possibility here. generational. combination. Yeah, those two and uh. certainly something that we could. >> never see again, but we'll always. remember the great times. I mean, >> I mean, they were God, they were so. good. I can't wait. And for Travis, whatever the hell you end up doing, brother, we love it. We support it. To. Patrick Mahomes, Godspeed on the. recovery. Now, there was something that. happened yesterday that they're going to. make a Disney move uh movie from. Go. ahead, Debo. >> Yeah, speaking of things we we thought. we'd never see again, Philip Rivers is.

out there spinning. It gave us a chance. to compete. Uh, no. Anthony Richards. coming off IR. We still got the young. guy in there. And what's the plan? What's the What are the Colts plans. going forward? Is Philip Rivers going to. be the guy going forward down to make. this stretch? Maybe a playoff push. >> I I think he will. And came very close. to winning in Seattle in a game that a. lot of people thought not only should he. not be playing, but that they'd have no. chance of winning. And if they had run. off more clock, they might have won the. game. Like they distinguished themselves. very well in Seattle yesterday. And.

Phillip was definitely not the issue. We. stepped in right then and there. Like I. mean it's hard to imagine where I'm. pointing this year. Micah Parsons is. done. Patrick Mahomes is done and Philip. Rivers is starting in Indianapolis. Like. it's Bizarro world, but that's the world. we're living in right now where their. playoff push is up to him. And he played. he played well yesterday. I mean that. was not the issue. He knew exactly what. to do, you know. speaking to the Colts. over the weekend like how you going to. get by in Seattle in that noise 12 man.

that defense and they knew exactly what. they were doing and they trusted. Philillip to know exactly what he was. doing and he went out there and executed. the offense pretty well. >> Yeah, I think pretty well be good. Now. he only went for like 120 is under hit. and over pass yards which I certainly. don't love. Last question here for you. about tonight. Go ahead Tone. >> Yeah, Shifty. Obviously a big one in. Pittsburgh tonight. Uh can you fill us. on on in on some injuries? I know Achan. was banged up last week for uh the. Dolphins. Jaylen Warren had a sickness. potentially today. Uh Derek Harmon and.

then obviously uh TJ Watt. Do you have. anything on his future? >> You know the Watt thing, you're talking. about a partially uh punctured lung uh. collapsed lung. He's a crazy guy and he'll be back soon. You could ask JJ on the show. He likes. to he likes to give the uh TJ Watt. updates, but I would think that I to me, look, he's out tonight. I'd be surprised. if he played again next week. Typically, these things would be multi-week. injuries, but again, he's also built.

differently. So, we'll see if he can. make it back sooner. Jaylen Warren, they. added to the injury report today, questionable. Uh teams like to do that. out of precaution. I still think that. they believe he'll wind up playing. Hopefully, he'll be out there tonight. Uh DK Mechaf was on the injury report. He'll be back out there tonight. Uh who. else do we have here? >> Han and M. >> A Han's playing. Um they say the. Dolphins say he's full go. Uh was. limited some in practice, but they felt. like he could have come back to the game. last week and he's ready to rock and.

roll tonight. >> We appreciate the hell out of you, Chefy. We watch you all day. We'll. follow you all day. Had a tough one the. other week, but we appreciate the hell. out of you this week. You're the man. >> Thanks, guys. I appreciate you. Have a. great week. >> Ladies and gentlemen, that's Adam. Sheffer. Not a bad first hour. >> No, not a great first hour. >> I mean, that was that was very fast. >> I That was Show O Donnie, you know, coming through. Paul SK. >> top five. We got through the top five. >> Had to. Scotty Sheffler breaking news. We actually held that up 3 minutes. The. PGA was waiting to send a press release.

as we were wrapping up the NFC West. being the NFL's best. But how could you. not talk about the Seahawks, the Rams, and the Niners because they earned it. We'll talk about that and more on the. other side. Be a friend, tell a friend. something nice. All the way here in Eugene smoking on. some new green. Changing up the routine. Gratitude truly. >> I'm all the way in smoking on [music].

Green Bay Packers. You pick. Stop. Damn it. Be [music] a friend. Tell. a friend something nice could change.

their life. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble abode. The Thunderdome on. this magical overreaction [music]. Monday, December 15th, 2025. Hour two of. the program begins now. FOOTBALL IS THE BEST. I [laughter] mean, we just take it in for a second. >> Yeah. It's the absolute best. So much to. talk about. So many lives changed. So.

many legendary tales about to be told as. we get through meaningful football time. into playoff football season, which. don't look now. College football. playoffs start at the end of this. particular week. >> Holy hell. Bama Oklahoma on Friday. Texas A&M Miami on Saturday. WE'LL BE ON. THE SIDELINE FOR that particular game on. ESPN 2. Cannot wait to be a part of that. magic. And then two-lane Old Miss, JMU. Oregon. And don't look now, Oregon and.

Old Miss. Okay, [clears throat]. >> everybody's been talking about these. group of five champions not deserving to. be in the 12 team playoff, not deserving. to take a spot that maybe Notre Dame. could have had. Everybody's fighting. about Notre Dame, Alabama, or Miami. And. what we should be talking about is two. lane and JMU are in the big boy dance. Well, two lane JMU, you can change a. trajectory of college ball, get a. massive win, put up some good fight, and. maybe the future won't be changed. But. if Miss dog walks too lane.

>> in Oregon. smacks James Madison, I don't know if. these group of five champions are going. to be even looked at going forward. I. think there's going to be closes added. and amendments made to what the playoffs. look like in the future. So, there's a. lot on the line for college football. this weekend. And obviously, the NFL. wraps up its week 15 slate tonight, Monday Night Football in the city of. Pittsburgh as the Miami Dolphins and Tua. travel north in the cold to take on. Aaron Rogers and the Pittsburgh.

Steelers. Pittsburgh Steelers can. obviously still win the AFC North and. make it to the playoffs. the Baltimore. Ravens just absolutely demolished the. Cincinnati Bengals yesterday. So, there. will be a representative from the AFC. North in the playoffs. Will it be the. Steelers? Will it be the Ravens? Or will. the Miami Dolphins, who are still. lurking in the background to steal a. wildcard spot in the AFC, do something. special tonight in the cold, something. that they haven't been able to do with. Tua as the quarterback. The Pittsburgh. Steelers have an incredible record.

in certain situations. Yeah. They have a terrible record in other. situations like when they don't have TJ. Walt. >> TJ Walt will not be playing football. tonight. >> Tua has a good record in some situations. and a terrible record in other. situations. >> Like when it's freezing cold. >> Something's got to give tonight. What. will it be? Pittsburgh Steelers. Oh, mama. I'm in fear for my life from the.

long. [singing]. >> Will Yanzers be booing that as they. spend another night DOWNTOWN WATCHING A. SHITTY FOOTBALL TEAM? OR WILL THEY BE. losing their minds as the Pittsburgh. Steelers pick up a huge win in what. could be a magical season with a run to. the playoffs? The toxic tables here at. Boston Connor. Sorry, buddy. >> Hey, sorry to you too, man. >> 21 zip. You guys were up. >> Mhm. We are up to 10 points at least.

Seattle Seahawks. >> Yeah. >> Now granted, I think a little different. situation between our teams, but on that. note, I don't think it's that bad of a. loss. I think New England Patriots lose. to a very good Josh Allen and Buffalo. Bills that could potentially tract them. into a way where they uh change your. perspective on what this season could. be. And Vrabel is going to utilize the. hell out of that as a coaching point. And then at Tai Schmidt, I'm sorry, buddy. What happened, man? >> Yeah, the Packers were also up by nine. points, not 10, but they're up nine. And. then, uh, Micah blown his knee out. Well, it was kind of just the cherry on. top of a pretty shitty Sunday.

>> I'm sorry, man. >> You know, it just it happens. Best life. in the NFL. Unfortunately, >> Denver Broncos are for real. >> They are good. Boon Knicks played his. best game as an NFL player on Sunday. >> And maybe this will be a sign of things. to come for the Denver Broncos offense. Obviously, Halfley's defense we've been. very impressed with. The Denver Broncos. defense we've been incredibly impressed. with. They show up in a big way in the. second half. And Toyota thawn became Ram. truck week for Jordan Love in the second. half. And I don't want to point things. out, okay? Cuz I don't like to do this.

to give myself an old pat on the back as. maybe others would do. But on Friday, as. we were talking about this particular. game, my brain in the middle of the. conversation interjected a highlight, well, a low light I guess of Jordan Love. running backwards and throwing it up. And this is the Denver Broncos defense. Obviously, they're going to get one. They get two actually in the second. half. They do their thing with that. defense with Bo Knicks potentially. playing his best ball right now. Denver. Broncos are for real. Let's go to one. half of the hammer. Cowboys AP tone. How. did the Gamblers do this week? How do we.

do against the sports books who are. obviously so incredibly greedy and. winning all the time? >> Yeah, as you remember, uh, we started. off 0 and one on Thursday night thanks. to the Bucks in that situation and then. went five and five yesterday. So, for. the weekend, we were five and six on. teams that were getting 60% or more of. the bets. Another losing weekend for the. fans. >> Golly, nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler. Are we ever going to beat these. pieces of trash? >> I don't want to be negative and I'm kind. of out on AI. So, I think Yeah, we'll.

get them. We'll get them. We'll figure. them out. What do. >> you mean you're out on AI? >> Kind of out right now. I'm getting a lot. of bad answers. They give. >> Well, that's your fault. Incorrect. prompts. Yeah. >> Uh, okay. I got to work on better. prompt. Yeah, >> I'm kind of out on them. >> Okay. So, I haven't done the full dive. in for AI every single day. We'll send. questions to Mr. GPT or Mrs. GPT or they. GBT. I don't know. >> Honestly, have no idea how chat GPT. identifies. >> Ask. >> Oh, it's actually multiple. You could. choose choose woman, you can choose man, you can choose snarky, you can choose,

you can choose different ones. >> The plural one is tough for me whenever. it's an individual character just. because of how in English language works. and everything like that. But chat GPT, I've sent a question in there every once. in a while. I also asked them to make me. a 3D design of a room. Here's the specs. I'll answer all the questions. I'm still. waiting for it. I think I got a lazy. ass. >> I think the one in my phone, which I. paid the upgrade to have the top one cuz. I wanted a 3D [ __ ] print like I see. on uh what's that one where they're down. in uh Mong Mongolia Farms. Uh Magnolia.

Farms. >> Chuck and Joanna. >> Yeah, Chuck and Joanna Gains where they. have full 3D. That's what I asked Chad. GPT. I said, "I want a Chip and Joanna. Gains 3D surround image of what this. room could look like." Had me answer 20. minutes worth of questions. He said, "I'll get that for you." That was two. weeks ago. >> Wow. >> It's like fanatics still just waiting on. this thing to show up. So, I have the. lost hope open it as well, but I never. really bought in. You were Chad GBT. braining there for a while. I mean, it. was every thought you were having. Took. a course on AI.

>> I did. You got certified. >> Thank Thank you, IBM. It was a pretty. good course. That's that's partly partly. probably why I'm out on it. I think it's. just we're still very early on in the. adaptation, but uh and sometime you got. to ask some questions and they'll be. like, "Hey, can you double check that? Can you triple check?" But they'll do it. and come back and give you some. So I. don't like Yeah. I can just do it. myself. >> Yeah. What do we What are we asking you. to double check? >> Exactly. >> That's what we came to. >> Exactly. >> We are doing a double check by. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> We're asking you. >> They'll just spit it out. Boom. >> Let's not even talk about Grock.

Whenever Grock just finds his time, you. know what? Yeah. Actually, I'm going to do it. What was Chad GPT. saying about Saturday night's main. event? >> I didn't I didn't get into that. My. >> Did Bone get into it? Cuz if Bone was. involved, >> I'll tell you what, Bone is not happy. >> No, he's not. >> John Cena was at peace. >> Yeah, he was. >> Smile on his face as he tapped out. >> Mhm. >> of the greatest wrestling career of all. time. I went down the same way and I.

texted John immediately afterwards. I. should have given him a heads up that. this is what Gunther's going to try to. do. This happened to me from Gunther. Obviously, I should have told John, hey, he's looking to do the that's what he's. trying to do. And whenever he wraps. those big Austrian legs around you like. a boa constrictor, it's going to be. tough to get out. Tyrese Hallebertton. brokenhearted. Obviously, everybody in. DC there. I mean, it's just. >> shock. >> Yeah. Gunther took him out. Gunther's in. the middle of his prime. Gunther didn't. care about the whole celebration. Mhm. >> Gunther gets a tap out victory over John.

Cena and Tyrie Salard. >> Have you checked in? >> I have. I texted him a couple times cuz. he was sitting right behind Michael Cole. front row. Real Mark, he said. True. Mark. He gave a couple hashtags to. himself in the group text, which I. appreciate, but he was there and that's. not what he expected. Now, a lot of. people would say maybe Cena wins that. one. Well, maybe he should have been. Okay, maybe he should have won. You're. >> right. Didn't have in the tank. >> Maybe he should have went out there and. won. The George seemed a little over. [laughter]. >> He was ready. >> Cars when he knew. >> Good meme. He was ready. So good.

>> Time to go. When I send you this, just. know I know it's over and I know it's. time to go. >> Bang, bang, bang. I should have gave him. a heads up though when he was here. And. I feel like that was a missed. opportunity. That was my text to Mr. Cena immediately after watching the. finale. I'm sorry. I should have told. you that that's that's what he's going. to be trying to do. And I assume Cena. watched film. He's always going to be. prepared. But him losing certainly made. people not happy. Now the international. wrestling marks I believe are like this. is what wrestling's supposed to be. But. I think a lot of Cena fans are like is.

it does it always have to be like that? >> It's not. >> Is that what it has to be all the time? It. >> was poetic. >> Or can it potentially, >> you know, be something that's magical? I. do appreciate him taking off his shoes. >> I do appreciate taking off the headband. that he's worn around his bicep for the. last 20 years cuz his his pythons. brother was so big. His wristbands were. different than the ones he wore in here. >> They were actually switched. And he said. that we were going to have the actual. ones. >> Feels like we were lied to just a little.

bit by Mr. Hustle, loyalty, respect. So. maybe this is uh. >> this might be a collector. >> That's a one of one. >> Might be a collector's item now, which. we're very appreciative of. Hell of a. run though, John. We appreciate I assume. this did big numbers. >> I assume it did gigantic numbers. I'm. being ser. It felt like everybody on. earth was talking about And I think. that's what uh you know Foxy and I were. talking about this a little bit before. the show. That's why I was kind of. pissed off uh because like you said, hey, listen, you got to respect the. business and uh all that kind of stuff. But you had this match in particular,

there were a bunch of people who don't. give two shits about wrestling that were. watching this and it would have been. cool just to just to see Cena beat the. piss out of Gunther and go out on top. I. do wonder if Cena had a plan for after. the match, what he was going to do and. then whenever that gets, you know, changed immediately as the entire roster. comes out to say thank you and honor him. and then CM Punk and Cody Rhodess, two. guys that Cena obviously gets along with. very well and was a massive part of. their entire story, say, "Hey, these are. our titles, but they're really yours.

because you're the ones you're the one. that created them and made them to be as. important as they are." Cena didn't want. to do that. It was very obvious that. Cena didn't want to wear titles that he. did not win over his shoulders because. even though whenever he was a heel, he. wanted to ruin the Bish and everything. like that. He loves the business and he. tried multiple times. Hey, this is your. title. It is not my title. And they're. like, no, you're the one that made them. the title, so please do the thing. And. he goes, all right, I was going to do. something, but I guess I once again I. have to do what you guys want me to do. Here we go. Thank you.

Thank you. No, you got to go to the. other one, please. Please. You really want me to do this? Yeah, do. it, please. How about you? And then. Cena's like, you know what, professional. wrestler, I think they can be a little. bit louder than his son. I don't I think. he had a plan potentially on how it was. going to go after the match. Obviously, that changes when everybody wants to. come out and pay their respects, including Mr. H, who got a very warm. ovation from the entire crowd. And then. now tonight, 8:00 on Netflix, they have. the opportunity to do some real special.

stuff with the outcome and the fallout. of everything that happened on Saturday. We'd like to say to Mr. Hustle, loyalty, respect. We appreciate you coming. through the Thunderdome. We appreciate. your service to sport and to beat the. hell out of your body for the good and. for the entertainment of everybody else. You're the man, John. Even though you. didn't win, you're still winner in our. eyes. [applause]. Right. >> And Elias was there. It was good to see. him. All the stars came out. Uh joining. us now live from Manatican, Ohio, ladies. and gentlemen, is a college football. national champion, Super Bowl champion, Rder Cup winner, AJ Hawker. [applause]. >> Hawker, how you doing, buddy? Man, it's.

tough to see John go out like that, but. you know, obviously very, very humble. champ. I don't think there ever will be. anyone like him again. >> Yeah. And uh John Cena said multiple. times on Friday, this is it. So, make. sure you get closure because for me, I'm. leaving it all out there and it's over. And I know you can only judge off of. what previous wrestlers have done. whenever they said they're retired. And. maybe it'll change going forward with. me. But this is this is it. This is the. final time right here. He's taking it. all in one last time. Let me go ahead.

and just polaroid this for my own brain. so I can remember what it was like as I. walk out of my final match ever. He. says, "I bid you a do. Shout out to. Stew." And then walks his ass out of. there for the final time in the WWE. He. will now be an ambassador for the WWE. Not 100% sure what that means, but no, don't thank us. We thank you, brother. You're the best, Cena. And I think he. could have won that match. I I I don't. think he necessarily had to lose, but.

John Cena, >> what do you mean? >> Well, Gunther's a. >> saw that show. You saw that. >> He can't breathe. >> Well, I think he could have won if he. could have won, you know, and uh maybe. one more five knuckle shuffle. >> He threw the [ __ ]. >> No, I'm just saying there at the end. when he was smiling and just said, you. know what, I'm done. I think he could. have potentially. >> fought to get to the rope. >> one final time. But yeah, >> I think he felt what I felt. And that's. when that Austrian man. >> is wrapped around you. You feel like.

>> I almost got what's that called? Uh. claustrophobic. >> I was almost claustrophobic with his. body just kind of engulfing me. And I. think that's probably what Cena felt as. well. So he said, "You know what? That's. it." As he uh. >> legs aren't even locked. >> Says, "That's a fun year. That's a fun. run. I'm going to get out of here.". Congrats to John. We love you, John. Good luck, John. >> Love you, John. >> What's John going to do now? Oh, take. over the movies. >> Mhm. He's I mean not that he would. because uh he has the thespian ability. to do whatever but how many action stars.

are there currently right now? >> Not many. Probably probably count them. all on like one hand. >> Like if he really wanted to just go and. take over the action world he could. He's seen as. >> he's got range. He's got range for real. >> Ricky Steniki Ferdinand. Anything else? Amy, what do he do with Amy Schumer? >> Uh yeah, train wreck. Yeah, train wreck. Blockers. He was that was another big. comedy one that he was in. >> And he'll do whatever. >> He will do whatever. >> He He's in. He is in for whatever. Which.

is kind of this entire final run. Somebody pitches him an idea. I'm in. I'm in because I want to be easy to work. with. And people are like, well, if he. was pitched different ideas, would he. have been in? Yes. Well, this is Cena's. Cena's okay with it. It's like, well, he's only okay because this is what he's. hearing. You know, if there was other. ideas that he was hearing, do we think. he'd be okay with that, too? Yeah. But. Cena, hey, he's good. He's good. We. appreciate it. Heisman winner, Fernando. Mendoza. Indiana University has a. Heisman for the first time ever. AJ, loved his speech. Loved the way he. handled it. Didn't love the.

presentation. Uh, but I do appreciate. the fact that the Heisman still means. something. You know, the Heisman will. forever mean something, AJ. And that's a. special night for not only Fernando and. his family, which was beautiful to see, but for IU, for Indiana, for college. ball as a whole. Congrats to him. And. they're saying he's 6'4 65. So, whenever. you talk about number one overall pick. [ __ ] this is a guarantee in my eyes. But now also certified Heisman winner AJ. Hawk. >> Yeah. I mean, good for him. Obviously, if you uh he's going to be a great like. ambassador for the Heisman Trophy like.

his whole life. The rest of we're going. to see him on the Heisman house doing. goofy funny things with the rest of the. guys. We know that it'll be fun. But, I. mean, I'm not shocked that his his. speech was great. Everything about him, his class, like seems so so mature. Um. yeah, if I had if I was a team, I. wouldn't mind this guy leading my squad. as a starting quarterback. He's an ugly. crier. I mean, he's he's got a terrible. cry. I mean, his whole face is bad. It's. a it's a bad cry face, but I do. appreciate the fact that he did cry and. he did get emotional. And also, he very.

much acknowledge how much it means to. him, his family, Sig, the school, everything. It was special. It felt. special while I was watching it. Incredibly happy for him. >> Yeah. Like a lot of people leading up to. it, there are a lot of me me and him. being like, "Hey, Heisman, I want this. thing living at IU." That in itself I. think is really cool cuz I mean we had. Matt Liner on at one point and his. Heisman was in his laundry room. Like. some people who kind of reached the. pinnacle and hopefully they do continue. to go on and win the national. championship but him already being like, "Hey, I I know this has my name on it,

but I want this to live in Bloomington. forever." I think is so cool. >> Boy, the Heisman show could about. change 10fold maybe. >> It needs a face. >> And the College Football Awards could as. well, you know. I guess we just do. something and we'll do it for that way. forever because that's what everybody. does. But it's like that's a special. night. That was a hard watch. I watched. the whole thing. I would especially my. wife was fully invested. >> They string it out a little bit. They. definitely string it out a little bit. >> Well, and the way they string it out is. just I mean are we grandstanding the.

whole time? I mean, can we do some sort. of some sort of something? >> Yeah. What year did Fowler win the. Heisman? >> Yeah. Him standing up there amongst the. Heisman award winners was certainly. something. and then him making a. statement of fact of Fernando and then. acting as if Fernando was supposed to. know that it was a question after. Fernando just won the Heisman and then. say it's your moment kid. Okay, you. didn't win a Heisman Fowler. This is his. Heisman. So, let's have a little. humility up there through it all. But. yeah, I mean it's still a special thing. And then you see all the players, the. ex-Hisman winners, it's like that is a.

special fraternity who has done so much. for college ball. Yeah, I mean it's it's. awesome and it'd be nice if it could. have a massive facelift because that. used to be, you know, like growing up. that that was mustwatch and part of that. was because they didn't release odds. So. you you genuinely didn't know who was. going to win the Heisman going into it. But you're right. I mean, it's it's. almost getting to the point where it's a. little too self- serving. It's like, hey, is this about the Heisman trust? Is. this about all that BS? Or is it about. the the four kids who got nominated and.

ultimately the kid who wins the Heisman? >> Yeah. I mean, if if we can make it a. celebration, that would be sick. And. then a college football award show being. on a Zoom call. That's cool. That's. really cool. I guess I guess none of. these awards are worthy of celebrating. I I don't think I fully. >> comprehens. like how's it work? >> Well, I think if it's an ass event, anybody's going to make the excuse that. the schedule, you know what I mean? If. some I've never heard somebody say, "Oh, the schedule's. >> uh too flooded for something that's. epic." You know, I don't think I've ever.

heard that out of anybody. >> The Met Gawa The Met Gawa is not going. Zoom. >> Yeah, exact. Exactly. >> Are they cheap skates? Does that have. something to do with it? >> Um, maybe. I think it's just laziness. Full on. I think it's just fullon. laziness to not want it to be special. And as somebody that got a chance to go. to the College Football Awards show back. in the day down in Orlando, like I think. it was cool to have everybody around. each other. And I think everybody was. kind of pumped to be around each other. You only get to see each other multiple. different times. And it is a. celebration. Like what do we we talk.

about these things as if they matter and. then we don't treat them as if they. matter whenever it happens. >> Why aren't they all together? >> I don't know, dude. >> Like all the awards. >> Co gave people excuses to be lazy. >> Bingo. That's exactly what it is. You. can just mail it in. >> and there's different types of awards. that people who different like groups. run different awards, right? Isn't that. why they're all split up? >> Yeah. But if you were to tell them like, hey, it would be what's good for the. goose is good for the gander here. You. know, like we can make this all a much. bigger thing. Would be cool. But to do. that, you would have to have drive, initiative, and some creativity and have.

to pitch that. So, I don't know if that. exists. I I don't know if that's. something that exists. >> Well, and that's what's crazy cuz most. of these people, especially in this. world, grand stand like there's no. tomorrow. So, if you were to have all of. them in the same night, you are kind of. giving a much brighter light or shining. a much brighter light on all of the. awards versus the Heisman. Like, could. you imagine if the NFL awards did every. award in some separate little thing and. then had the MVP award be an hour-long. showcase about four people? Like, no. That wouldn't make any sense because. they have brains. And then think about. what the NFL award honors are. It's like.

the rap on the Super Bowl week as a. whole. Like, it it really doesn't kind. of do any justice to the players of. college football as a whole, let alone, you know, the four people up there. Cuz. Jeremiah Love, I'm assuming he won the. running back of the year award. I don't. even know, but I'm assuming. >> the only thing we saw was him lose. >> Lose. Exactly. So, it's like it it. really makes no sense. It's stupid. Um, but again, it is very cool seeing all. those former Heisman winners. Like, it's. sweet to see Dez up there cuz you just.

see Dez on game day, but then when you. see him on that stage, it's like, oh. yeah, like Yeah. You forget how. certified that guy. >> Yeah. Desmond Howard, Heisman Award. winner and Super Bowl MVP. I mean, he 20. years on TV, multiple time Emmy award. winner, and he caught Michael Jackson's. hat at a performance in Ann Arbor in. college. >> What? >> Yep. That's literally in the middle of. his living room. He's got the Super Bowl. MVP. He's got a Heisman. He's got all. these other stuff. >> What kind of hat? >> The the hat. >> The hat. The fedora hat. >> Oh jeez. Okay. >> Michael Jackson threw it. One of his. things at a concert in Ann Arbor. Threw.

it like this. Desmond. >> Yeah. Naturally, >> nobody Nobody lost. Everybody snags it. Keeps that thing. puts that thing under. there. It's in his living room, literally in the front. The greatest. catch I've ever made is what I call it. It's like Michael Jackson's hat or. whatever it is. >> Desmond is certified. And uh everybody. up on that stage is Fernando Mendoza now. is. And it's like we should at least. >> What do we know? You know, what do we. know? Well, we know we watched it and we. know people that aren't like diehard.

people watched it because I was. literally in a room with somebody and. they're like, "This is the Heisman. This. is what this. >> Yeah. It's Yeah. Take a trip back to. 1920 and. >> this is what it is. Who's the guy. reading the award for Mendoza? Uh he's. he matters certainly. Is he reading. directly off a teleprompter? Uh yeah. Well, actually they'll show it. Yeah, you can see. >> Yeah, they they'll actually show it for. you. It's like come on Bernie. >> And then Diego I I don't think I've seen. anybody have bigger heel turn in one.

weekend than Diego Pavia. thought that. it was starting to happen already kind. of because of anybody who's flashy and. talks a lot of [ __ ] is going to be hated. by a group of people regardless. But. then this weekend with how it all went, I think a lot of people kind of turned. on Diego Pavia and I saw a lot of people. saying, "Let's make sure we keep this. energy that we had for Shador Sanders. going into the draft that we have for. Diego Pavia." I don't think anybody's. really talking about Diego Pavia being. in the NFL, period. Like I I don't think that's. really a conversation that's happening.

at this time. But I do know Diego Pavia. is gonna be a USXFL. >> Yeah. Maybe Hall of Famer. >> Owner maybe. >> Yeah. >> When's the draft? >> I think. >> Do they have They have Is that the name? Do we know the proper name of the league. though? Do we. >> US XFL? >> I'm not sure. I've seen that out there. Is that really what it is? >> Yeah, it is. >> You missed. There's an exclamation point. at the end. >> OH, US XFL. >> OKAY. [laughter] OKAY. NOW, now it makes. sense. >> Yeah. Okay. So either that or Canada,

you know, Diego could have a massive. Canada, but I feel like with his size, now granted, he's a hell of ball player. >> No. >> So maybe they move him out to like slot. wide receiver or something like that. I. don't know if he's going to be. quarterback. >> I don't know. Dylan Gabriel just got. drafted in third round. >> We didn't expect that. >> Yeah, we kind of I think we expected. Dylan. >> No, the NFL. >> Okay, I'll speak for myself. I didn't. expect Dylan Gabriel to be a third round. pick. >> Oh, you third round or just NFL in. general? I expect him to get drafted, but not third round. >> Got it. Because he's too short.

>> Uh that's a big part of it. Not a strong. arm. >> That's the big thing is like the size. Like that is the separator for the NFL. and everywhere else. That is the worry. about Diego in my eyes. I think he's a. dog. He's rubbed people the wrong way, but I think that's because he is a dog. Flip. >> who he is. Flip Vandy. So Mendoza, though. I think people would say. nobody's really talking about what. happened with Indiana. Now or uh Curtis. Ror last year did it for Indiana. Diego. did it last year for Vandy. But a lot of. people saying like Diego made Vandy a. football program. Very real. I think.

Clark Lee will be very appreciative as. were the people for Vandy. But Fernando. did that for Indiana as well which. didn't have a football team very similar. to what Vandy was. But I I don't I don't. know if Diego to the NFL is really a. conversation that a lot of people are. having. I think that's why he's trying. to get another year of college ball. And. uh yeah, it is interesting the way. everybody is kind of turned on Diego. >> Yeah. And I guess we'll see if he gets. invited to the combine because that'll. kind of be the like if he wants, you. know, a big part of his his game is.

running. If he goes out there and runs a. 478 at the combine, it's kind of like, well, you can't play wide receiver and. you're not big enough to play. quarterback. So, we'll see. >> We have an update from Micah Parsons. He. has tweeted about his injury, giving a. response. I may be sidelined, but I am. not defeated. This injury my is my. greatest test. A moment God allowed to. strengthen my testimony. I believe he. walks with me through this storm and. chose me for this fight because he knew. my heart could carry it. I'm deeply. grateful to the Packers organization and.

my teammates for their unwavering. support, love, and belief in me during. this season. I trust his timing, his. plan, and his purpose. I will rise. again. How do you feel about that, Ty? >> I mean, yeah, that's all I needed to. hear. we're going to come back with a a. better Mike Parsons than we've ever. seen. I think the big thing that I've. kind of tried to compartmentalize with. this, too, is it's not an Achilles. Like. an ACL isn't a like death wish like it. was 10 15 years ago where if a guy tore.

his ACL it's like, oh, he's going to be. out 12 to 18 months. Like I don't think. that he's going to come back and be like. slower and have lost a step and all that. kind of stuff. So, while it sucks that. it was this late in the season and. there's a chance he might miss the first. half of next season or something like. that, like it could be a lot worse. >> AJ, a lot of injuries, Micah, obviously, and there's others with the Green Bay. Packers, Devonte Adams, Patrick Mahomes, your thoughts on teams losing key. players at this stage of the season. >> Yeah, it's brutal seeing it happen, especially the biggest guys. But as far.

as Micah goes, I think Tai makes a good. point. Yeah, it's not Achilles. And. think what, September's what, nine. months away or something? Like, why. can't he come back at the beginning of. next season? Um, it's one of those. things where an ACL is not a uh, it used. to be like a career ender and this guy's. going to come back a step slow. Now you. can come back and, you know, with all. the rehab you do, you almost could. possibly feel a bit stronger once you. get your knee once you get confident in. your knee, I guess. But yeah, Patrick. Mahomes I I guess if there's ever a good. timing to tear your ACL, is that good. timing? The fact that they're out of the. playoffs, they can get surgery, rest, and rehab. I don't know if you're trying.

to look at the positive parts of it. >> Has never played a snap where the Chiefs. didn't have a chance to make the. playoffs or be season over. and that. that trend will continue. This year was. a different year for Patrick Mahomes. A. lot more mobile, a lot more physical. contact, a lot of physicality in Patrick. Mahomes. I don't think anybody believed. that this was going to be the year the. Chiefs won the Super Bowl outside of the. fact that they had Patrick Mahomes. He. has obviously said he'll come back. stronger and better than ever. And then. let's go. Yeah, here's his quote right. here about being back stronger than ever.

with the clock. We appreciate that. mindset. Obviously, Godspeed to Patrick. Mahomes. He battles and then Devonte. Adams. hamstring injury, classic sniper. situation, gets his a little bit of a. pull on a go route. Your thoughts on. Devonte and what the Rams are over the. next couple weeks as he tries to recover. this. I know he's a guy who's an. incredible athlete, obviously a wild. work ethic. He's committed himself fully. to ball. Uh 34 years old. Should we be. worried about this, you think, down the. stretch, AJ? >> I don't think down the stretch. I think. what Sheffy said he should look for him,

he's just I'm just guessing, but I, you. know, he should be fine for the. playoffs. I would imagine. I mean, obviously there's all different levels. to hamstrings. He's walking this one. off. Yeah. When I think uh for their. playoff push, they should feel okay. But. obviously, it sucks anytime you get. hurt. You don't want this to be like a. lingering thing. So, when he does come. back, you want to make sure you do. whatever it is to where it's not going. to pop up again another another time. down the road in the playoffs. >> He's 32 years old, not 34 years old. I. apologize. I had that wrong the entire. first uh hour as well. 100% on me. Uh. let's talk about some of the outcomes.

from yesterday's games. That NFC West is. unbelievable right now, AJ. I mean, obviously the Rams are the odds on. favorite to win the Super Bowl. Puka is. outrageous. Matthew Stafford's. unbelievable. Their offensive line has. two running backs who can get the job. done. And Karen Williams and Blake. Cororm and they will punch you in the. mouth. They are not scared to just punch. you right in the mouth, but obviously. have all the pieces to be explosive. And. then on the defensive side, they're able. to get the job done with anybody. Your. thoughts on the Rams or will it be the.

NerS? Obviously, the San Francisco. 49ers, they lose Fred Warner in Bosa, which is obviously a scary situation for. them defensively. Salah's still got the. boys cooking. Brock Perie does his. thing. They're seemingly flying better. than they have in a long time on the. offensive side. They played the Titans, so it's hard to judge, but you get the. point. And then the Seahawks, the. Seattle Seahawks team, obviously not the. prettiest win against the Indianapolis. Colts, but they continue to win. They. win on the road. They have a strong. defense. Sam Darnold can get it done.

Feels like the Super Bowl representative. for the NFC is now coming out of the NFC. West, even though Bears people don't. want to hear that. >> No. Yeah, >> I don't think Packers people necessarily. want to hear that even with all the. injury, but this NFC West feels like the. real deal. AJ Hawk, >> yeah, I'm with you on that. As far as. those three teams, I feel most confident. that the Ramsu would be the. representative coming from the NFC. I. just think with how Matt Stafford is. playing, the defense, and all the. weapons they have, if they get Devonte. back uh for the playoffs, obviously with.

he what he can do in the red zone and. stretch the field, it's just there's not. many people like him on the planet. So, if they get him back, obviously Puka. just what he catches like 8 to 10 balls, almost 200 yards every single game it. feels like. I know he get it was scary. looking uh situation early. Was it. cramps or whatever? He he came off the. field and luckily it was good to see him. back. Like what Debo what what separates. Puka? Why is he so good honestly? How is. he always making these plays? >> I mean, number one, uh, you you don't. know where he's going to be, and you. know how difficult that is throughout. the week. You know, preparing for. somebody, if you know they're going to. be in the X, or they're going to be in.

the Z, or they're going to be always in. the slot, that makes it easier to. prepare for him, prepare coverages, adjust coverages around a guy. But for a. guy that can move around in the back. field, could be in the slot, could be on. the outside, can run all of the routes, and then his catch point, like when it. be when it comes to that moment of. truth, like nine times out of 10, it. feels like 12 is going to come down. with. He had a drop I think early in his. game and it was rare was like wow. It. was like that. We never see that happen. his rookie career uh his rookie year. even though he had a career you know. year for rookies. He had a bunch of. drops but he kind of fixed that. But.

yeah, he's a dog. He does everything. well and then after the catch like once. the ball is in his hands the play starts. all over again. It's like how uh like. Brandon Marshall used to be back in our. day. Like once he got the ball in his. hands now it's going to take two or. three guys to get him down to the. ground. So he's just unbelievable in all. those different aspects. >> Speed. Mhm. >> Hey, we don't really talk about Puka. speed. It's obviously a lot about his. toughness. This guy runs great routes. He's seemingly everywhere and knows. everything. His hands, he catches. everything. I mean, his catches are. absurd, but he ran like an outand go or.

something like just blew by. >> He doesn't look like a burner. That's. the thing. He doesn't exactly look like. a burner or look super quick, but he is. So, that's why it's like it's weird. Like, the dude is an absolute stud. >> Yeah. So fast, so tough, so chirpy, so. jovial. I mean, it's like everything you. want out of a guy. And Sean McVey just. so happens to be the perfect head coach. and offense coordinator to have a wide. receiver like him. >> Yeah, he's fantastic. And we talk about. how like running backs, I mean, Gibbs, Pacheco, they run angry. Like Puka also. runs angry. He might be the angriest.

running wide receiver in the NFL. Like. when he gets the ball, he's patting the. pavement. And I mean, it's already been. said, but has he ever dropped a ball? Has a ball ever hit his hands and he's. not reeled it in? It feels like every. time Stafford goes to him, it's a catch. It's a first down. It's a massive play. >> NFC West is a problem. Here's the. highest scoring margin this season from. Hembo. NFC West plus 287. >> Jesus. >> Yeah. >> What? >> Yeah. Not even close. Yeah. NFC North. obviously good. Plus 159. AFC South.

>> Hey, problems down here. Especially if. Trevor Lawrence is going to do what he. just did. What's that all about? >> Yeah. >> Five through the sky, one on the ground. Liam Cohen doing his thing. Defense. making plays. AFC East plus 57. The NFC. West is 26 and 12 in non-division games, which is obviously unbelievable. Feels. like the Super Bowl champion might be. coming from the NFC West. Yesterday, we. all saw it. One dude beat a fairy tale. story right into the ground.

One guy leads the NFL in the most field. goals this season. One man is just eight. field goals away from having the most. field goals made in a single season in. the history of the NFL. Ladies and. gentlemen, joining us now, the guy who. said, "Old man Rivers, go back to the. retirement home. Kicker for the Seattle. Seahawks, Jason Mars.". [applause and singing]. >> What's that all about? >> I mean, I I will say after after the.

game, I felt a little bad cuz I did grow. up watching Philip play. I was a. Chargers fan growing up, so after the. fact felt a little bad. >> Okay. In the fact though, you didn't. think to yourself, "All right, 50 some. yard yet again." Uh Blake Rupy, who I. had no idea somebody that small could. hit the ball as far as he hits. He is. outrageous. You didn't think to. yourself, you know, Phil Rivers deserves. this one. You know, our Seattle Seahawks. team pretty good. I've already made five. field goals. I go five for six. That's. pretty good odds. That's pretty good. percentage. Everybody would think I had.

a good day. 56 yard in Seattle with uh. the game on the line. Maybe I missed. this one for Phil Rivers didn't cross. your mind one time. Jason Myers. >> No, I mean I obviously uh Blake's kick. was amazing. That was a great ball. Um. then Sam and the boys got got us down in. field goal range. So yeah, it didn't. cross my mind till after I got home and. uh the family had to remind me that I. did grow up watching Philip play for the. Chargers. So. >> yeah, I respect that. I appreciate that. Can you tell me about the team a little. bit? Obviously you're a weapon. If it. comes down to a kick, we know you're.

going to make it. You've been doing this. a long time. Eight field goals away from. the most field goals made in one season. Good luck finishing the season this. year. Hopefully, you're able to. accomplish that and this is one that. goes down in the record books because. it's been a special season for you, but. also the Seahawks team. Can you tell me. about Sam Darnold becoming your. quarterback, McDonald's culture kind of. taking over? What do you feel from the. Seahawks team at this point that maybe. you felt in the offseason going into the. year that said maybe we could be special. this year? >> Uh, I think it started last year really. Um, you know, this this locker room,

everyone talks about it all year that. it's it's a tight locker room and um the. brotherhood we have in here is amazing. Like you walk through the locker room, everybody's interacting. Uh, you don't. really get that everywhere. Um, and I. think that's what brings us together. And like on Sundays when things aren't. going right sometimes, everyone has each. other's back and it's just that's just. kind of how we've built. I think it. started last year when Mike came in and. uh um you know Sam I played with Sam in. New York. Sam's a great guy. He's a. great leader for us. So um yeah, it's.

really just the the tight-knit group. that we have here is amazing. >> The closeness is on display when you. guys are on the road. You have some away. record that's just like historic because. homefield advantage is supposed to be. something. Obviously in Seattle it is. You guys have walked into other people's. trap, took over their trap, and it. potentially is because of your. tightness. That's kind of the X factor. you can't really see on film. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah, you mentioned Sam Donno there at. quarterback. You play with him in New. York. What's it been like to watch his. progression through the league and.

everything from high pick to everything. that he's gone through. Are you. surprised at all to see the success that. he's having? >> Not at all. I mean, I know Sam off the. field, uh, you know, we golfed this off. season and, you know, Sam's just a great. guy. He's he's true to who he is. Um, you know, he's always going to be a. fighter. He's obviously shown that. through his career. Um, and you know, people have his back no matter what's. going on. So, um, we'll always put the. ball in Sam's hand and he's going to. lead us to great places. >> You're in your 11th year right now, you. old ass man kicking like you're some.

young buck still. It's unbelievable to. have the weapon like that. Uh, but in. that stadium, you know, it felt like it. was special yesterday. Go ahead, Debb. And speaking of old ass, man, we we. played up here and when we played in a. league like that was a special. environment, special very hostile. atmosphere. And it was a some reports a. couple years ago about some other fan. bases kind of potentially taking over. Lumen Field. Is Lumenfield all the way. back? Is the atmosphere back where it. used to be with those twelves? >> Oh, for sure. Um, you know, Pat, you.

mentioned it on the road. Uh, I think. the twelves traveling is also a huge. part for us. We go, you know, we go some. places and, you know, you see the the. home team going on the silent count and. that's just cuz our 12 show up. everywhere and then obviously at home. Um, I think people just wanted to come. to Seattle, honestly, to see what what. Lumen's about. Uh, so I think that's why. brought a lot of away fans in, but yeah, our fans are back. Um, you know, they're. they're loud. It's it's it's a great. place to play. >> I thought about Travon out there. yesterday and taking [laughter] over. your place. You know, it's just so far. away. I thought about it me and I was.

going to bring 30,000 Colts fans to take. over Roman field and you know we were. going to maybe you get discombobulated. ON ONE OF YOUR SIX FIELD GOALS. YESTERDAY. THIS GUY NEVER [ __ ]. MISSES. GO AHEAD, TONE. >> YEAH, JASON, we saw obviously saw it. yesterday with you guys uh after groupy. makes the kick. Like in seasons past, it. feels like there wouldn't be enough time. left on the clock. But now with the new. kickoff rules, it feels like even if a. kick is made with 15 seconds left, there's still enough time for other. teams to get back into field goal range.

to trump that. Is that how you are on. the sideline thinking or is like is. there ever a chance that any team is out. now with the new kickoff rules? >> Yeah, I mean there's I mean there's so. many different factors that play into. that whether like the time or you know. what what yardage you want to give up if. you want to hit a touchback. Um, you. know, Sheed made a great return on that. one. Got us into, you know, a good. starting position and then, uh, got a. couple I don't even know how many plays. it was, five five plays or something and. we got the yardage. So, um, yeah, that. definitely plays in into the factor. And.

then, you know, we still had what 18. seconds left after our field goal and, you know, we, uh, we kicked it short, let our boys cover, and, uh, you know, I. think it was one play later, Kobe made. the pick. So, yeah. >> You're not hitting, uh, squib, right? You just hit it down. What is your what. are you aiming for in between the five. and the goal line? Like what is perfect. kick for you? >> I mean, I think it depends really like. some some returners play you shorter. You want to hit a little deeper and they. start backing up, then you want to try. and uh get on the ground in front of. them. Um it's kind of, you know, you're. trying to play a game of the returners,

they're switching sides. It's it's all. kinds of different little intricate. parts that are going on to the kickoff. And, you know, in the end, you just want. to get the ball to a spot and let our. cover guys do their job. >> Will you be working on it in the. offseason more, you think? Uh, I [clears throat] started working. last offseason when they changed the. rule. I worked on it a little bit more. this year. Um, I mean, as I get older, it definitely saved your leg. You're not. you're not, you know, you're not trying. to hit the the 4-2 hangs, deep 80 yard. kickoffs now. It's you're just trying to. place the ball. Um, that the new hang. time is really just off of getting the.

ball on the ground and letting your guys. get that early start before the ball's. being returned. >> I didn't love and and maybe I was. overthinking it. I'm removed from the. game now. You know, I've been nominated. for the Hall of Fame three times. It. means I've uh you know I've been out of. the game a long time. Haven't kicked the. ball in forever. Uh and that does not. mean I should go in the Hall of Fame. That was laughable that I got nominated, but I'm just talking about the amount of. years I've been away from it all and. haven't kicked. I was a little bit. worried about these kickers, especially. young kickers that were trying to hit. the ball fat to get one of this and it. was like messing up their field goal.

swing. I thought personally there was a. chance that that was taking place for. you. Is there a mindset on what you. should do with the ball, what you can't. do with the ball? Are you comfortable. doing everything with it? Does that make. sense? I don't know if question makes. sense for you or not. >> Yeah, for sure. Uh when when this kind. of started, I kind of had that mindset. also, but um I kind of try in my mind. differentiate my field goal swing from. my kickoff swing. Uh I take kind of. different steps and it kind of takes me. back to like my soccer days of like. let's let's just place the ball into a. spot instead of trying to like. technically think about the swing. So.

yeah, I think that I understand what. you're saying and I definitely thought. about that early on when they switched. this. So yeah, for sure. Well, it's. seemingly working for you, but you're. about to break the all-time record for. field goals made in a season, but let's. talk about the change that happened over. there. We heard there were some walls. that were painted and such. Go ahead, Con Man. >> Yeah, Jason. Very new era it feels like. with Coach McDonald. What is he like on. the dayto-day? He kind of gives off the, you know, super smart, nice guy, but. he'll also rip your face off on a. football field vibe. Is that what he is?

Is he kind of like a football savant? Like, how would you explain Mike. McDonald? >> Uh, Mike's awesome. like he's a he's a. players coach. Um but when it's time to. work hard, we work hard here. Uh we have. fun when you know we're in the locker. room and we're about uh like around the. facility. Um you know, one of our big. things is loose and focused and uh he he. he start it starts with him and then it. it carries through the locker room and. uh yeah, I mean he's smart smart as hell. really. Um, I mean, you've seen what. he's done with the defense and, uh, you.

know, he's he he gets he gets kind of. fiery on game day and, uh, you know, the. guys, we'll have his back no matter. what. >> Loose and focused. Love everything about. that. That's a tough balance, you know, for some places. >> That's kind of how Pete was, Carol. >> Yeah. >> That was kind of your. >> loose and focused. >> Yeah. from I mean from people you know. talking to people that used to play. there and like obviously at that time. Patriots are in their dynasty and. everything was very tight and militant. but in Seattle at least back then you. know had the hoop in the lock in the. meeting room and all these different. [ __ ] so you have very loose but when. they came onto the field obviously they.

were a force to be reckoned with. >> How are you with that hoop? How were you. with that hoop? >> I could shoot. I can shoot. Yeah. >> Yeah. Pretty good shooter. >> You know you know specialists are. athletes too. Pat. >> ping pong. >> Oh yeah. Anything we don't got to move. If if we can get these guys in things. where they can't expose us athletically, we're in a good spot. Play horse. Let's. play horse. Let's do that. Pingpong, not. as much movement. Is there games. cornhole and such in locker room or you. guys no games building? >> Uh we got the shuffle board in there. Um.

that's a that's a big one. Uh the shadow. boxing is taking over for sure. >> What do you mean? I don't quite understand it, but uh it's. Yeah. Yeah. It's looking and pointing. and all kinds of stuff. >> What is the winner? Have you ever won. one? What? I don't I I this my. generation missed this. I don't know. what the hell they're doing anytime that. they do it. And I've heard from people. that are in that world that say I don't. fully know what a win or a loss is. Have. you dove into the whole thing yet? And.

what's your record? >> Uh I'm not great, but uh we have a lot. of great players on our team. [laughter]. >> What are you supposed to do? Do you what. is the Do you know what the goal of the. game is? >> Uh you're supposed to look the opposite. way of that they're pointing and there. Yeah. >> You get your ass kicked. >> Yeah, I'm with you, Pat. I'm with you. >> Yeah, you walk right into it. Yeah, I. got it. I got it. Uh go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Jason, I haven't spent too much. time in Seattle, but it seems like the. only thing people really talk about is. the rain. And like on Sunday, I was.

expecting there to be a bunch of snow. and have the weather be really shitty, but it didn't really look that bad. What. is it like kicking in the elements, I. guess, in Seattle? And how much does. that prepare you for what you might see. in the playoffs? I mean, there's a good. chance that either you guys or the Rams. will be the number one seed, so you. won't have to deal with it. But what. what is it like kicking in the elements. in Seattle? >> Uh, yeah. I mean, it could be tough. sometimes. Uh, you know, the ball doesn't fly as well. here. It's a little that heavy wet air.

Um, yeah, we I mean we get rain. It's. it's kind of like that heavy drizzle. most of the time, but uh yeah, we I mean. it's it's it can be a tough place to. kick, but it's also, you know, when you. when you have the fans that we have, it's just like it's football weather for. sure. >> Did you expect Ruby to be able to hit a. 60-yard field goal? I did not. >> I I mean, he he's come out to San Diego. a few times the last couple offseasons, so I know he can hit that for sure. >> Dude, it's unbelievable. I I've I have.

always had the belief that you got to. have a cannon. Like you very smooth. swinger. The ball is traveling so far. Groupy has a cannon, but I don't know. where it's coming from. I I legitimately. have no idea where it's coming from. It's insane leg speed for him at his. size. And we're lucky to have him. And. the Seahawks obviously incredibly lucky. to have you. Good luck the rest of the. way. And please tell the boys, we say, "Congrats, you ruined a fairy tale.". Thanks. >> Appreciate it, guys. >> You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Jason Myers. >> Yay. ruin a fairy tale. Like.

>> it did feel like he was going to miss. like, "Hey, you can't ruin this for. Phil, right? This is like a whole. situation.". >> I was watching with my daughter McKenzie. and I'm like, "Yeah, this guy always. makes kicks." Like that's literally all. he does. And I I think I said that in. the past and then the next game he. missed one. I think cuz I was like, "Hey, Jason Myers, this guy from. Seattle, anytime he shows up on your. screen, he's making a kick. That's all. this guy does. He he very rarely." And. then next week, I think he pushed one, right? So, I was almost like a uh kind. of a jinx. So, right before he kicked. that, I was like, McMackenzie, all this.

guy does is make kicks. It's all that's. literally all he does is make kicks. And. then that thing was just pure. There. wasn't even a there was no doubt on any. of his kicks. I mean, it is he's. special. Dick's in there, punter from. Australia. He was one of the first ones. from Australia that had massive amount. of success obviously, which led to a lot. of others trying to get in the game. He's a special talent as well. I I mean, they got. >> sick hats. Seattle Seahawks got it. Yo, he's Aussie, obviously. And thoughts are. with Australia, obviously. >> Yeah, >> love the country. Those are crazy.

scenes. Crazy crazy scenes. Anytime any. of that stuff's happening and obviously. there's stuff going on here as well over. the weekend, it's like te's and peas to. everybody uh going through anything. Go. ahead, comment. >> Yeah, Brown University of Rhode Island. Very scary that entire thing. So, yeah. >> Yeah. And I think the Bills are staying. like right down the road. So obviously. crazy stuff happening, but we have to. remember that the good outweigh the bad. No matter how hilacious something feels. or seems in the moment, we have good.

people that will hopefully win in the. end. I like to believe that. But T's and. P's to positive thoughts and prayers to. everybody going through it. I mean, that. was some that was crazy [ __ ] popping up. on the internet, which is why we're. incredibly lucky that we stay in a. sports world in sports are unifiers. And. tonight, AJ, the Miami Dolphins take on. the Pittsburgh Steelers. Did you see the. Miami Dolphins travel up to Robert. Morris, Bobby Mo to get acclimated to. the elements? Because it's impossible to. replicate that in an indoor facility in.

Miami, what you could be facing tonight. AJ, >> I did see this. I was actually happy to. see this. I I I like the guys getting. excited. This is like a spirited. practice in this snow. Uh I I I said to. some guys when I connected before the. show, I I respect this. I enjoy this. much more than the take your shirt off. in warm-ups and go run around and act. like you're not cold in warm-ups. Uh so. I think this actually could have some uh. some positive benefits for them. >> Bobby Mo is actually located in. >> Moon Township, home of uh AQ Shipley. >> and. >> Joe Donardo. >> Thank you. >> Okay.

>> What the. >> I almost. how that went. >> AQ is a Hall of FAMER. >> AND JOE DARDO IS AS WELL BUDDY. I saw. this week. You sure. >> AQ in his first season was ranked as the. number two radio crew in all of the NFL. >> Who's he ranked by? Is it a place that. matters? >> No. >> Oh, okay. >> But on that note, >> better to be two than 32. Way to go AQ. >> Actually, [laughter] actually, I believe. it was the worst place to do the. ranking. >> Exactly. But hey, congrats AQ. >> Oh, yeah. Follow Joe's lead. He's good.

on microphone. Bingo. Okay. But Bobby Mo. over there in Moon Township hosted the. Miami Dolphins. It's always. >> sounds like a traitorous move. >> So Joeard was rolling over in his Robert. Morris would do that. Du Kane would. never do anything for the field. They. didn't clear the field out for him at. all. >> Well, I think they asked for that to not. be clean. Yeah, they [laughter]. definitely rolled it a little bit and uh. as they were walking in, I didn't know. was that Robert Morris. I think I found. out like maybe the next time I watched.

the video, I was like, man, what high. school are they? That might be like Pine. Richland or something. They're they're. in high school field. And then I. immediately thought to myself, what high. school is going to be like, yeah, the. Miami Dolphins can actually get working. on our field in Pittsburgh in the middle. of a playoff push. I don't know. I think. that would be a little bit of a. difficult decision for some Yinszer to. make. Yeah. So, as I'm watching the. video, I'm like, I like this out of the. Dolphins. But then I'm immediately. thinking in the background like. somebody's about to get murdered by. Pittsburgh here. Who were the ones that. were like see who turned them down? When. you ask the Dolphins, hey, who turned. you down? How many places did you have.

to call until you got this. >> legit? That's a real I think that's a. real question especially in like. Pittsburgh especially at this time. especially with how Yenszers feel about. this particular season. This is another. prime time game. This is another night. game. Okay. Getting down to the stadium. with how hilly and mountainy Pittsburgh. is is a thing. You're coming in one. tunnel or the other. It's either. Squirrel Hill or Fort Pit. And to get. into these tunnels, obviously a lot of. lanes come into a little bit of lanes. and everybody's coming at the same time.

It's one big come party and everybody's. trying to get downtown in Pittsburgh and. it is a nightmare. Let alone whenever. you get through the tunnels, then the. chaos to get into the right lanes to get. in. So these that are signing up to go. to these prime time games, it takes them. an hour and a half to get down there. Then obviously we got to tailgate for an. hour and a half. This is uh everything. else. So that's 3 hours. game, three and. a half, four hours. That's seven hours. And then the trip home, getting out of. town. YEAH, RIGHT. YEAH, RIGHT. IT'S. NIGHT NOW. The traffic is outrageous.

This is a 10-hour commitment. Okay. And. then we got work tomorrow morning. So, we are committing a lot to go to a prime. time Steelers game. So when they're. booing or if they're booing Renegade. tonight, it's not just what's happening. on the field, it's their own personal. decision to commit this much of their. LIFE TO THIS PITTSBURGH STEELER TEAM. THAT WE'VE BEEN WATCHING ALL DAMN YEAR. PLAY LIKE THIS. SO WE need sticks to. know it's not about them if it happens. tonight. >> We need the Steelers that are on the. field to know it's not just about you,

it's about everything else that's been. going on. But that's what the Dolphins. are looking to do tonight. They're. looking to take Acure completely out of. it. They're looking to make sure. Pittsburgh does not have any faith going. into the fourth quarter. And without TJ. Watt, stats tell us there's a chance. that the Dolphins can do that, Tone. >> Yeah. So, there's a lot of good things. going for the Steelers tonight. As I. said earlier, the Fins have lost 13. straight games. Uh, if it's under 40. degrees at kickoff, it's going to be 17°. at kickoff tonight. Pittsburgh has won. 22 straight home Monday night football. games. So, that's pretty good. The the.

Gold End zones are back because Pit's. done playing football. So, that's. awesome. It's also a color rush tonight. for the Steelers, which they always win. in those jerseys. The one issue is they. are not with TJ Watt and they are one. and 11 without TJ Watt. So that could be. a problem tonight. >> Raj in the snow too. >> Oh, Raj [clears throat] in the snow. >> Raj in the cold in the snow. >> Yeah, he is going to have I completely. forgot about that. >> This is and Joey Porter and Ben. Rothersburg. Yes, they're going into the Hall of. Honor. Those three are going in. So,

that'll be cool. They'll all be there. tonight. Uh but this is a different. Dolphins team. Uh they started playing. Minka closer line of scrimmage has. really helped them. Russell Douglas has. been playing really well. They run the. [ __ ] out of the ball with a Chan. So no. it'll be an like I said Derek Harmon if. you see him scratch tonight he's. questionable right now. He's the rookie. out of Oregon that they took in the. first round. They give up 95 dtackle. He. is a n he gives they give up 95 yards at. game rushing when he's in the when he. starts when he plays when he's in the. game and they give up 195 when he's not. So something to look at. >> Let's go to the other half of the. hammer. Don.

>> Cowboys grinning like the butcher's dog. back there. Gumpy, it feels like you. feel good going into tonight. Did the. Robert Morris snowball playound help the. feelings tonight or what exactly is it? >> You could probably run this back every. time we've got to this point in the. season the past three or four years when. it's a cold game and I've said I've. believed and this is the time we're. going to change everything. It's going. to be better. But this time it does. actually feel different. We're running. the ball. our offensive line is actually.

good and he's not going to say it. I. think this game means a lot to Minka, man. And Anthony Weaver, the DC said it. He said he won't say it, but I know how. much it means to him. I think that is a. major factor cuz he's been playing. lights out all year for us. >> All right, let's move to some other. games that we haven't shown enough. attention to from the weekend. Bears. bury the bronze in a freezing cold. Congrats to the Bears. Feel like they're. mentally and physically tough and the. Browns. Miles Garrett gets a couple. sacks. Obviously, he's celebrating that, but other than that, not much to really.

pull for from the Browns. >> No, the Browns absolutely stink, unfortunately. But yeah, for the Bears, this was I mean, -20 windchill for Caleb. to play the way he did. Like, he looked. unbelievable yesterday. And yeah, the. Bears, I mean, you can say what you. want. Their odds are what they are, but. like this is they're a very good. football team. >> Cyro hit a 41 ygative 15. That's a huge. kick. Uh that I took that away just as a. person. And obviously that's incredible. play, incredible catch, incredible. throw. I don't know how the Browns. didn't get that, especially after the.

replay kind of showed that back, but it. feels like the Bears mental toughness. that is good, better, best. Never let it. rest till you're good is better, and. better is best from Ben Johnson has. settled in completely. What a game to. showcase that. >> Absolutely huge bounceback win for them. after a tough loss against the Packers. where they could have laid down in that. game against the Packers as well, but. they fought all the way to the end, had. a great uh second half. And for Caleb to. have these type of highlight plays in. these elements, unbelievable. Moved to. 10 and four now, second in the NFC, which is crazy to even think about. >> The Jacksonville Jaguars, we've.

mentioned them a couple times. Trevor. Lawrence going crazy. They lead the AFC. South, but they look for real. >> Yeah, they're number three in the AFC. Uh you talked about, you touched on it a. little bit with Trevor Lawrence. Had a. historic day yesterday. He was 20 for 32. for 330 yards in the air. Five TDs, another 51 on the ground with another uh. touchdown. He has been playing great. great football. I know this was against. the Jets, but this last four or five. weeks he's been on unbelievable run. Another 10 and4 football team that we. wouldn't expect. First year head coach. Trevor, even this year a lot of people.

were saying, "Hey, this guy stinks. Maybe time to move on from him." But. unbelievable. >> I was offended that the Colts had the. largest spread of the weekend when the. Texans were playing the Cardinals. And I. actually said the Cardinals have been. routinely losing by 20. I have no idea. why their spread is so much smaller than. ours against the Seahawks. Well, lookie. lookie. They lose by 20 again to this. Texans team. Now, this isn't a shot at. the Cardinals. It was just a compliment. to who the Texans are. They're the real. deal down there. Third best odds to win.

the Super Bowl. >> Yeah. And the Texas defense, we know how. great they have been. But CJ Strad, you. know, he's has knocked that rust off. since coming back. Another great game. from him. Another great game from Nico. Collins as well. He has now became the. third Texans receiver to have three. thousand yard seasons back to back. joining Andre Johnson DeAndre Hopkins. >> and Shuck is not ass and the Saints. might be good in the future con man. >> Yeah they might be good if they can. figure out how to take care of their. money their cap. Nobody wants to win the. NFC South kind of cool Panthers and. Bucks just kind of passing it back and.

forth but that's cuz the shuck master. the shuck man that's kind of how they. won the game. He slid and there was a. penalty unnecessary rough. >> And then what? >> But. >> Charlie Smith, lads. >> Game winner. Charlie Smith. Gamewinner. from Mayo Bridge County, Ireland. >> His name's Charlie Smith. He would have. made that from 60 plus if he had to. It. gets shortened for the late hit on the. quarterback. The Saints aren't ass. Who. will win the NFC South? Who knows? All. right, we'll continue with overreactions. and our official picks for Monday Night.

Football digitally on YouTube, ESPN. Plus, Disney Plus, and Tik Tok Live. We. hope you had an incredible day. We'll. see you tomorrow. Be a friend. Tell a. friend something nice. It might change. our life. Goodbye. I didn't think I'd. get that many words in. >> That was great. That last that whole. last got it. >> There's four different times I thought. about quitting and saluting like I was. John Cena and then I just kept going. I. saw the ticker going. Shout out to the. alioop in the back there. Nick tapping. out. Have you give up? >> Well, just being content. I guess. >> he's coming back. >> I think so too, AJ.

>> He's already an ambassador. He's going. to be back in some form. So, the fact. that he's already there, let's just. Yeah, let's throw Let's just throw our. body around a few times. >> Don't lose that. >> WWE. global global business now, right? This. business is now. >> the most global it's ever been, even. though it's always been popular around. the world. Now, it's like real. So, I. think whenever he signs on to be an. ambassador, I think there's a chance. that when John Cena is filming in London. or England, there's a chance maybe he's.

out there meeting with uh, you know, business arenas or mayors or whatever. the case is for the WWE. The legends. deal that the WWE has, that's for like. appearances and different event. So, ambassador, I don't I don't think I. >> It's different. I didn't know it was. different. Okay. I don't know what the. WWE ambassador thing is versus the WWE. legends stuff because WWE Legends deal. You see podcast coming out, appearances. and stuff, which I think is a very good. way for the WWE to take care of the.

legends that have come before. Uh, and. also to have them benefit and thank them. for what they've done. I think the. legends deal that started becoming a. thing was a very good move and also a. smart move because what they were seeing. their ex- wrestlers become was not good. for anybody. definitely wasn't good for. wrestling as a whole. So, getting them. back into the fold and giving them. purpose and you know like a sense of be. I think that is a really good thing. they've done. I don't know the. ambassador I don't know what the. ambassador tag is but John Cena would be.

the perfect ambassador. >> Oh, yeah. >> You know, for basically anything which. is why he has 10 different commercials, you know, because. >> John Cena is. >> does good voiceover work for real. >> Yeah, that Honda commercial is really. well done. It's not too much. It's not. ever dramatic, but there is acting in. there. You know, he's good. He's a good. actor. He. >> is. And why would he come back and. wrestle, you know? It's like every time. every time he comes back, he's just like. getting his ass beat and losing. Like, who's signing up to continually do that. year over year over year? >> And that was kind of John Cena's entire.

thing is he would get his ass beat and. then he come back and win, which is why. John Cena never give up, you know, is. his that's why he's beloved by a lot of. people. And obviously he was uh the. person who has the uh world record for. the amount of makea wishes wishes that. he has granted. It's like he was the guy. who got knocked down but just kept. coming back just in matches let alone in. life. And then also he was the one who. went out of his way to do everything. that was good. So I think he'll still be. able to do everything that was good for. the WWE without having to get knocked.

down. Yeah. >> Every single match that he was in. because that's kind of the John Cena. story and who John Cena is in the ring. He was the rope a doper. >> Yeah. >> I mean, he would just get his ass beat. and then who could survive longer, me or. you? It was always big match, John. And. that's why we appreciate him. >> And that's also why it's cool cuz like. his whole thing is never give up. And. now for the rest of time, I remember him. as the guy who gave up in his final. match. >> Come on. >> Why is he saying that? >> Cuz that's what happened. >> He didn't give up. That was him passing. the torch.

>> Yeah. >> Looks like he gave up. >> No, because he wasn't a So he didn't. give up. He just said it's yours now. with his left hand. It's yours now, bud. >> I give up. >> You take it, dude. >> You didn't have it. I quit. >> Yeah. >> Looks like you quit on the business. >> No, you retired. Okay. I guess you can. supplement those words with each other, but one means I did everything I could. I appreciate it. >> I grew up my whole life and he told me. to never give up and now he gave up. I. don't really care. >> Did you tap out against Gunther? >> No, he put me out. >> Okay. That's what I thought. >> So, you didn't give up.

>> So, you never gave up. You just. >> My body certainly did. Yes. I I would. say my body gave up. My body gave up. Yeah. But your but your mind didn't make. it. Both of his did not. >> Yeah, I think you guys are looking into. this a little bit too much in the wrong. way. >> I saw a lot of people on X, a lot of. people who had deathly deathly deathly. illnesses saying like, "Oh, okay. I. guess I'll give up then.". >> No, that is not how this go. No, Dumpy. That is not You guys are.

looking in a weird part of the internet. >> A record number of Americans. unfortunately gave up. Passed away last. night. Yeah. >> No, you guys are WHY ARE YOU GUYS. LOOKING AT such a weird part of the. internet? Have it be a pause of party. where he goes, "Guther, it's your WWE. now." Is what he was saying. >> IT WAS POETIC. HE SMILED. I've done all. that I could and now it's my job to. leave it better than it was. And it. certainly is. >> It's your time now. Your time now. That's what he did. He took those shoes. off. >> Yep.

>> Jay Uso called him trash ass. I believe. >> that Jay Uso was on a microphone. >> and I don't think a lot of people. thought Jay Uso was going to be on a. microphone including Jay Uso. >> and uh he did get a little emotional in. there as any person. A little boozed up. would those moments. >> you know as you kind of ride the es and. flows of it all. >> but he did take a shot at sneakers which. I think we all did cuz you know they're. spotlighted there whenever they're. taking off you kind of those good. >> What are those? Are those the uh. Airbirds the Monarchs.

>> uh AFLs? Hm. >> Formerly. >> What's that? >> Lululemons. >> Oh, really? >> I don't know what these. >> No clue. >> I do appreciate the fact that he doesn't. care like in the era of everybody. knowing what good shoes are and what. aren't good shoes and like the sneaker. culture kind of being very relevant. especially in the wrestling world. >> Especially with freaking Hallebertton. there. >> Yeah. Halle Burton's got the hibiscus. fours out, you know, like and Halle. Burton being there. Yeah, exactly. Cena. has never cared about the shoes. >> No. >> Or the Jords. Just what are they? Mhm.

>> Their jorts are good with me and that's. part of that's part of the thing we love. about him. >> Loved. >> I think could have won that. >> So that was a photoshop I saw when he. that he when he left the jorts in the. ring. >> No, he went back in. He he actually came. back into the. >> why he died. That wasn't real after. >> No, it was it was real. >> No, no, that was that was that was. Grock. That was Grock. But there was. somebody in a very serious moment in the. history of wrestling whenever he takes.

that off and he stands up and looks at. it and he's about to LEAVE AND THE. GEORGE. YOU HEARD SOME COUPLE people. start chanting. I guess that would have. been. >> that would have been awesome. >> That would have been uh he doesn't wear. anything underneath the Jord. >> Nothing underneath. Yeah, >> but it came through. He he he obviously. you guys don't watch enough Cena cuz he. doesn't care about the underwear either. because that ends up showing and it's. some terrible offer and it's like Cena. you can have [ __ ] anything you know. I what do they give me it's okay as long. as they work I'm good with it and that's.

like kind of a part of it. >> Can you get them to send the George. because that mannequin kind of makes me. uncomfortable. >> Yeah it's kind of shirt what's it. called? >> Shock. >> That's the name I didn't know the name. >> Yeah it's called a shirtcock. That's a. classic Shercock. >> Donald Ducking it. >> Never seen anyone do it with. >> Bone bring in a pair of Jords cuz I. think he's got about 75 pairs of those. Cena Jords. >> Think they'll fit that. >> Well, we tried to put Well, that's kind. of what seen as Jords are. They're. really big. We tried to put the chairs. in front of it so it didn't look as bad. as if you know kind of covering up. But.

yeah, it does appear. >> Oh, those Jord might fit that bear. maybe. But God. >> All right. >> All right. Let's get to a break on the. other [laughter] side. He's already had. a rough say not today with him. >> Yeah, he threw he threw a childlike. tantrum on Saturday night a group chat. that I had to mute. Wasn't happy. >> It was so funny though. He blocked WWE, dude. He blocked them. >> What? >> THANKS FOR RUINING THE [ __ ] GOAT'S. LAST ONE WWE. [laughter]. Hope the business [ __ ] fails at.

blocks the WWE. [laughter]. But he couldn't stay away from the. chatter. >> He stayed on his phone all night and. read every single Mark's reply to him. Yep. >> GOT PEOPLE TELL ME I DON'T UNDERSTAND. BUSINESS. >> THIS WHAT GEORGE CENA WANTED. IS IT? >> And what do you think Bon will be. watching tonight? Monday Night Football. or. >> Yeah. >> NETFLIX MONDAY NIGHT RAW 8:00 p.m. Eastern. What will the WWE do in the. brand new era? Post hustle, loyalty, and.

They were mean to him on internet. >> Yeah. >> And in real life. >> Yeah. >> That's part of the biz, bro. >> Exactly. >> That's part of the biz. >> Guess so. >> Listen, when you sit in a chair, you. have to make actual decisions. There's. going to be times where people don't. appreciate you. Which is why there's. people that are sitting in positions of. power that don't make any decisions. because they're scared of the. repercussions.

>> Triple H said, "Fuck it. I'll be the. one. >> It's got to do all this.". >> Good healing. >> And he had a good run there for a while. Booker of the century. Oh yeah, >> this guy's the promoter booker of the. century. >> Yeah. >> And then all of a sudden we got to make. some real decisions and we got to pivot. We got to do some stuff and people turn. I assume Triple H still has a little bit. of magic in that beard. >> Mhm. >> He's got a little bit of heat in that. pen. >> Mhm. >> New era starts tonight. >> That's right. >> Can't wait. >> Do you see all the NXT talent? Suka. outrageously talented.

>> Oba, >> he's awesome. >> I do love him. >> Yeah. Where's he from? >> You you can tell just by looking up. No. >> dog. >> Okay. >> What if Cena comes back tonight? He's. like, "You guys are idiots. You believe. me? You really believe me? I was. leaving. >> Could happen.". >> Yeah. You never know. >> And he gets beat again, though. He taps. out again. >> Now it's over. >> That's the business, by the way. The. business is that he could show up. tonight. >> Yeah. >> That's why we'll be there. >> Where is it? >> Netflix. >> I assume it's in DC area normally after.

those things. >> Baltimore, maybe. >> I don't know. Somewhere. >> Wait, where's over from? Massachusetts. >> No. Oh, no, no, no. >> Where's he from? >> Like Nigeria or something, right? >> I don't know. I saw him. That's sick. >> It's hard not to [music] start to walk. with him whenever he's walking. >> jacked. Then he's standing up on his. toes while he's in the middle of the. ring. I'm like, that guy's balance is. [ __ ] outrageous. >> Hurry up.

>> They're in Hershey, Pennsylvania. tonight. >> Yes, they are. >> We've been there. >> Oh, we have. That place, that place is. very committed to ball. >> Marks. >> Okay. >> They [laughter] are. Yes. >> It's a Mark Hub. >> They are committed to ball. There's an. Applebee's right down the road. >> Apple. Pretty solid. >> Yeah. Exactly. Let's play the chili. [laughter]. Like all the everywhere you will find. marks. Hershey, PA, baby. >> All right. We'll be back on the other. side. Make our picks for tonight. >> Chuck-E-Cheese. Excuse me.

The number two amusement. park in Pennsylvania. >> Yeah, it's not even. >> obviously behind. >> Obviously. >> Is there a Six Flags or something I. don't know about? >> You [ __ ] pig. [laughter]. >> Those are getting out of going out of. business cuz they suck. >> Yeah. Have you heard? >> Really? >> Travis Kelce is trying to save them. >> Oh yeah. >> Well, as long as Kennywood exists, it's. going to be tough to be another. amusement park is who I was referring. to. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah. Not everybody can offer free food. and park, brother.

>> That's [laughter] not true. Holiday. sale right now for Kennedy Wood. This is. not an ad, but you can save up to 60%. >> My god. >> Free food and park, brother. >> Right now, save up to 60% on tickets and. passes. Experience the joy of Holiday. Lights for as low as $19.99. I will say. it is good to see Holiday Lights still. happening at Kennywood because uh Fright. Night got cancelled because theers were. just fighting each other in all the.

different location. >> T the season so we don't we know not to. fight Dorian. >> Hey don't fight in [ __ ] holiday. lights at Kennywood. >> That's a [laughter] bad everybody knows. that. >> Fright Night got cancelled. >> Yep. >> Cuz there was too many brawlers. All. right. Kennywood's got to cancel Fright. NIGHT CUZ THESE [ __ ] [ __ ] CAN'T. KEEP THEIR FISTS to themselves. It was. all over the place. >> Same thing happened in Station Scare. Tales old as time. >> Station Scare used to be awesome. Well, why is it dead? No. Well, cuz everybody. got all the insers got drunk, went down.

there and just fought each other. It's. [ __ ] full chaos everywhere. >> What was it? A haunted house. What was. it? >> It was bars. Bunch of them. >> Oh, >> bunch of bars. It was like a whole. another area. Obviously got to. Southside, which won a Guinness World. Record, I think, for having the most. bars per whatever space. It was like a. hundred some bars. Hilarious that that. exists. It did for a long time and. thrived for a long time, but 2:30 3:00. a.m. obviously on that street in. Pittsburgh was, you know, that was a. heads on a swivel situation at all. times. And I'm not saying you always got.

out of there safe or we got out of there. safe. Diggs got knocked out twice by the. same guy. [laughter]. >> Same guy. >> Oh, dude. >> Scrapn. was guy I've told the story on here. He. was buff Bagwell. >> Yeah. [laughter]. And wasn't it a Brennan Huffdale DOAC. situation where you guys both knocked. each other out? One of the guys. >> No, there was three of us versus one guy. >> and he won. >> And one guy. >> One. >> Yeah. We took him on Chuck Norstyle, which was a bad idea. One at a time. >> Why would you do that?

>> Cuz we were drunk. [laughter]. >> Wait, the second time you did. The. second time you got knocked out. >> This is Yinszers while drunk, dude. That. That's the title. Yzers while drunk. Kenny would cancel 21 plus nights due to. fights. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. This is. Yinszers while drunk. This is kind of. the whole story. But that guy actually. in his mind when he's telling the story, it was uh four guys. Tone tells the. story just three of them because it was. Tone twice. So that guy knocked out Tone. first, then the two friends, then Tone. got back up and then he knocked him out. again. That guy gets in car immediately.

goes just knocked out four [ __ ] guys. [laughter]. >> Yeah, but we won the end cuz the bouncer. at Diesel saw it and said that was. awesome and let us in for free. Bought. it for [laughter]. hell of a night. which goes back to tonight. >> Oh my god. >> And how about I mean haven't even really. talked about it. Big night out. There. was one fight. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> That's very impressive. >> There was an article that was like Pat. McAfee's big night out has massive brawl. or whatever. It was like going into that.

we thought to ourselves if there's under. three fights here success story. Only. one fight happening was like a big I was. very I was like anybody super injured? Nope. Yeah. There it is. big night out. brawl in the stands with stars on the. stage. It was like Pittsburgh booze. together long time money being given out. next door. Like we knew there was a. chance. It was a roll of the dice in. Pittsburgh. But that leads us to. tonight. Like Pittsburgh is uh we're. done with it city and that could be on.

display tonight for real. >> Yeah, I was going to say that was the. biggest one. The Eagles fan winning a. million bucks wearing Eagles jersey. I. thought they were going to beat that guy. to death. >> Yeah, I had to get him. [laughter] Yeah, >> that was a decision that was made. Hey, let's get them back as immediately as. possible into the back so we can meet. them. But yeah, that's Hey, tough time. Always will be. >> I know. >> Always will be. >> See how tough they are tonight. >> Well, that's. >> They won't handle it well though. If the. warm weather Miami Dolphins come in and.

beat up on them, that's going to be a. tough scene for sure. >> It's not going to happen. >> Seven's in the house. So is Joey Porter. So is Pansy. I assume some of the. ex-coaches that coach those boys and. lads are back in town. But that's the. thing you talk about. Uh we'll see if. they're tough tonight. >> That's the thing that theers hate is. like this team doesn't look like. >> what we would like to portray. >> Oh my turn that the [ __ ] off. That is. not for this team right here is what. they were doing before. That could. happen tonight with this Miami Dolphins. team.

>> Could they out tough Pittsburgh in. Pittsburgh? >> No way. >> That wouldn't be good. >> Especially with Robert Morris rolling. out the red carpet. Oh, you're really. throwing Robert. the curse. Thank you, Robert. [laughter]. >> Thanks, Nick. Let's get to a break. >> I don't like. I don't like that. Pittsburgh Staples are welcoming the. enemy. >> 5 mill is not a.

>> Dan Marino probably set it up to be. fair. Can't come back home. You know, >> can't say no to Dan. Dan would have had. him down there at Central Catholic, which would have been a pretty sick. setup. But I assume Central Catholic. said, >> I don't think we can, Dan, we love you, but we can't be [ __ ] housing and. hosting the Miami Dolphins as the. Pittsburgh Steelers are on a make or. break type run. >> So then they just started getting. outside and they're like, who's that guy. that goes on Miy show all the time that. acts like he hates the city of. Pittsburgh? >> AQ, where's he from? Moon, is there.

anything in there? Well, there's a. drive-in movie theater. We can see if we. can practice there. And then also. there's a univer. Let's call them. They'll let us in. >> Right next to the airport. >> This is actually AQ Shipley that got. this stuff. >> Right next to the airport. >> Yeah. >> Thank you, Pittsburgh. >> Wow. What a nice city. >> It's windy and cold as [ __ ] out there. Dolphins are used to it for tonight. >> Mhm. >> We'll make our picks on the other side. and read some of reactions from around. the NFL.

Rose Bowl, which will be taking place on. the most beautiful field in the history. of football, [music] the Oregon Ducks, who are the Big 10 champs, will take on.

the Ohio State Buckeyes. The college football playoff is. obviously in the middle of a transition. era. But we go back in time into a movie. like setting to battle in the Big 10 to. see who gets to move on and who goes. home. Our UF hunters over top these two. smoke bomber and in the national anthem. and on a day in the United States of. America where a heinous act has.

happened. It's a nice reminder that. we'll get you. You might take a shot, but you're never going to win. And 10. for Will Howard. Same exact play action. Drops it off to Jeremiah Smith with. space. He's a monster. Jeremiah Smith first touches a poster. Time sha. Oh, touchdown. See the split safety right here. So Will. Howard knows, looks, steps up in the. pocket. Great throw. Takes a shot and.

what happens? Jeremiah Smith comes up. with the ball. Hand off run to the left. James. [screaming]. Will Howard time? Oh no, Jeremiah. Smith's wide ass open. Ohio State is kicking the living shite. out of the Oregon Ducks. If Jeremiah. Smith is on your team, I think you can. win every game. Tavon Henderson.

He's in the 30. The 20, the 10. Touch. days. They can run it. They can spin it. They can kick it. This one guys team is. playing football at a level nobody else. in the country is playing right now. Yeah, there's a little snap. Rolls left. Bounce to the right. Jeremiah. So that's another first down. Thus far, this game has been absolutely. shed.

Green Bay Packers. >> You pun. [screaming]. stutter. Damn it. Be a friend. Tell a. friend something nice could change their. life.

>> Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to our Humble the Bow, the Thunderdome. on this magical overreaction Monday, December [music] 15th, 2025, hour three. of the program begins right now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE GREATEST. THAT'S AJ. HAWK. the talks the tables here at. Boston Conor and at Ty Schmidt 9year NFL. vet Darius Jay Butler you're looking. very cool that's cool onesie you got. there Dutch that's cool cool onesie.

there you got in one half of the hammer. down Cowboys AP Tones Pittsburgh. Steelers host the Miami Dolphins tonight. to wrap up week 15 but also AP Tone is a. uh college football author multiple time. there's a lot of news coming out of. college ball right now not just the. college football playoffs starting on. Friday but also some future movement be. getting very loud. >> Yeah, there's uh five quarterbacks that. had big- time news uh over this last day. or two uh as far as transfer portal or. not going to transfer portal. So, I just.

wanted to highlight some of those real. quicky quickly. Uh Lenor Cers, >> a little quickie. Hey, let's get a. college football transfer portal. quickie. >> Uh Lenor Cers, who was a quarterback at. South Carolina, he was one of the top uh. prospects potentially for the NFL drafts. coming into the season. had bit of a. down season, but he's going to stay at. South Carolina, which is huge, huge news. for him and Beamer going into the next. season. >> Yeah, great player. Obviously, everybody. thinks that South Carolina could beat. anybody. Uh because Lenora Cellers is. the quarterback to your point. Lenora.

Sers, he was a big name for the NFL. draft. Arch Manning was a big name for. the NFL draft. This season certainly. went in a different direction. Congrats. to Shane Beamer and their NIL, which I. assume is going to have to do a whole. new renegotiation. Now, there's some. other massive storylines. >> Yeah, guys that will be leaving their. school schools. We'll start with Sam. Levit. He was at Arizona State, led them. to the playoffs last season. He is going. to be hitting the transfer portal, and. he'll obviously be one of the uh more. recruited guys coming into next season. >> Is Sam Levitz leaving? Ken Dillingham. Dillingham was getting emotional.

whenever he uh signed an extension, was. in the middle of signing extension to. stay at Arizona State. You can hear him. actually saying there's been a couple. other jobs that are offered a lot more. money, a lot more everything uh roster. development and have, you know, so many. different uh connections in the sport. that I would like to be. But I love this. place, man. I don't know why I'm [ __ ]. from here. I wish I was from somewhere. else, but I love this place. He has. taken an onus on his hometown school to. become a great one. His name's. everywhere else, but now he's going to. have to find a new quarterback, it seems.

like, going forward. Big deal for Ken. Dillingham, AJ. >> Yeah. Yeah. Where do you find him? Like. who do you you just go try to find some. I don't I don't know what you do when. you have these quarterback. I mean. Indiana obviously they have Fernando's. brother coming up through the wings. I. would I would assume to be the next guy. But yeah, every team every single. offseason at this or actually right at. this time of year like trying to figure. out your roster, what your roster looks. like in spring ball. It's it's wild. >> Yeah, it is wild. And obviously you. don't know who you have, who you don't. have. You talk about what is he going to. do out there in Arizona State. Well, maybe he goes to the transfer portal and.

finds some money. >> Sure. The uh the next two that I wanted. to bring up were uh number one. quarterbacks in their class coming out. DJ Lagway is transferring or going to. hit the portal from Florida. He was the. number one overall recruit a couple. years ago. Obviously his time with. Napier down there at Florida didn't go. the way that either of them wanted. So. now he'll be hitting the transfer. portal. And then from Nebraska, the also. the other number one quarterback. five-star Dylan Riyola is going to be. leaving Nebraska as well. >> Writing was kind of on the wall for. this. Something happened. I believe they. separated with his father, his brother.

decommitted and then now uh Dylan Riola. is expected to enter the transfer. portal. Uh going back to DJ Lagway, initial meetings with Summerall, I. guess, didn't go well. How do you think. that went? What do you think that is? >> Oh, no, no idea. >> This is one side of the story coming. from Chris Hummer. Obviously, everybody. is going to have their side. I assume. coach Summerl has his own side in this. entirety as well, but he said initial. meetings didn't go great. I wonder if. some was like, "Hey, you were supposed. to be a guy this year. What happened?

Why did not go that way? DJ got pissed.". Or maybe DJ is just looking to explore. his options anyways. >> Yeah, maybe maybe a fresh start is what. he needed. I mean, him and obviously. this would be a fresh start with a new. coaching staff coming in, but he has all. the tools just like Riley does, but like. he just looked lost at time in my. opinions on the field and that to me is. coaching system, something he needs to. be comfortable in. So, I could. potentially see him landing on his feet. being at a new uh university and maybe. being at the top of the draft when he. actually does come out. This was uh not. shocking, you know, with Napier moving. on. >> Ryola though, this is a pretty big name.

here now. You know, this this is a. pretty big name here leaving Nebraska. now. He was committed to Georgia, I do. believe, and then Arizona potentially. before that. He's obviously been highly. sought after for a long time. Matt Rule, head coach of Nebraska. Felt like one of. his big achievements was getting Dylan. Riola uh to Nebraska. Started as a. freshman, started this year. His dad was. offensive line coach. dad, no longer. offensive line coach there at Nebraska. Feels like his name's big and he has a. lot of ball behind on uh behind him.

He's played a lot of football at this. point. >> Yeah, a ton of football, but kind of. crazy. He's the one he's the only one. out of all these guys that's coming off. a major major injury. Is that is that. right? Does he. >> uh Lev had an injury, but it's not as. major? >> Yeah, like as like pretty grueling leg. injury. So, does he drop because of. that? just if you're thinking as far as. like payment and you know that order of. other guys that are available. >> has multiple multiple multiple years. left. So maybe there is like a red shirt. year coming or like. >> incentive are there incentive NIL deals.

like can they do that hey if you're. healthy on the field and you do that you. hit certain things then we'll give you. more. Oh yeah, a lot of incentive based. NIO. That's why a lot of teams have guys. that are forced to play in the bowl. games where some teams don't have bowl. games, you know, like there is a lot of. incentive, I guess, or escalators that. could potentially be in there. But I. would assume wherever he heads to, there's an understanding that like, hey, next year probably not still going to. need this and then whenever we get back. in, we'll have to go about that. The. business of college football, especially. if you're a notable name, is very good. Still crazy that you can just kind of.

get up and leave whenever you want, but. he's not the only one. They're not the. only ones. >> Yeah. And then the um not the biggest. name coming into this season, but he's. now currently the number one ranked. quarterback heading into the portal. Uh. Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby. At one. point this year, he had what 30. touchdowns to one interception. Uh I. think that was going into the Utah game. day. Uh he was incredible this year. He's going to hit the portal. Like I. said, he's the highest ranked. quarterback in the portal right now. on. I know and a lot of the teams that. you're seeing associated with all these. guys uh LSU, Indiana, Miami and Texas.

Tech are kind of like the biggest ones. right now cuz most of their quarterbacks. will be leaving. >> A shout to Hayes Faucet and on three. being on top of all of it. Hayes. obviously friend of the program. So then. you start thinking well did win a dad. say he's going in the transfer portal. >> soon. soon couple weeks out from that. >> because if Winnad Trinidad doesn't go. into the portal which we all assume he. will be heading to LSU with his. offensive coordinator Charlie Weiss Jr. and the entire offensive staff and Lane. Kein down there at LSU. You assume.

that's the case. If not LSU has all the. backing, right? That was very open. I. think uh Lane in his opening press. conference said, "Yeah, LSU, Florida, uh. Miss, there was a lot of different. options. This one by far had the most. for players and for roster addition.". So, they're going to be able to get. anybody that you would think they would. want. >> Yes, you definitely could. And then some. of the other names that people are. looking at, one is obviously Winad, one. is Bryce Underward, depending on what. happens there. Uh Mason Heinshaw, who is. the quarterback at Pit as a freshman, was incredible. Do they have the money.

to keep him there? And then the uh. quarterback from North Texas, who is. coach Eric Morris, is leaving for. Oklahoma State. Those are. >> What's that? What's that kid's name? >> Oh, Nustmaker. >> Drew. Yeah. Yeah. Bingo. Drew. Drew. Drew Mustmaker. Feels feels like he is. on a one-way trip to Indiana, brother. That feels like a Kurt Signetti special, right? >> I saw Sorsby attached to uh maybe. Indiana as well as well as Levit because. of because of what Sig's done already. with transfer quarterbacks back toback. season. They are now just a transfer. quarterback school.

>> So is Miami. A lot of places will think. that. Drew me is the North Texas kid's. name. He was backup in high school, right? >> Yes. >> Yeah. He's a fifth string, too. like not. even not even like immediate back. I'm. like was on JV for a while. >> I don't want to act like we know. Signetti because we just know what. everybody else knows and he's been on. our show a couple times and I've had a. chance to meet him and he's invited us. to his house but I'm not acting like we. know him know him know him. He is a. great talent evaluator. One of the. things he is looking for is have you. been overlooked a bit? Have you uh been.

somebody that has been wronged? That is. what we have come to know from Kurt. Signetti. So, the kid who was in JV. senior year and six string and all this. [ __ ] and now he's gone on to become who. he is. See, I think that feels like a. Curt Signetti type quarterback. But once. again, Indiana has worked themselves. into the shoot of being one of the top. programs in the country. So, they can. kind of Kurt Signetti's at a different. position now than he was the last two. off seasons, especially with their. donors seeing the success that their. money's having. So, it's a interesting.

time for a lot of these schools where. you can make a couple good decisions in. transfer portal and change everything. for you like Indiana, I guess, like. Vandy, like other places. >> Think about Indiana Mendoza. What about. Cal's quarterback? Did he commit to. going back to Cal? >> Yeah. So, coach, I actually got a couple. texts from their new head coach. >> That's huge. >> Yeah. Their new head coach, Coach Tupi, I believe. Josh uh. >> Joshoy. >> Josh Tapo. Sorry, I said his name 100%. on me. Uh, I got a text from him as soon. as he So, I guess he signed to be their. next head coach, did the press.

conference, >> got on a plane, went to Hawaii. >> Like, it wasn't like a uh, hey, this is. going to be a fun, let's do this entire. thing. Gone on a plane directly to. Hawaii, uh, meets up with Song of. Politelli, the quarterback for Cal from. this last year, freshman, who was. outrageously good. Certainly earlier in. the year better than the end of the year. but end of the year who all they have. their coach ends up getting fired as a. new head coach. So Song of Politelli. will be staying at Cal. Uh Rivera.

congrats him. Tosh Lupy is his name. Okay. Tosh Leo. I got a text from a. number I did not know. >> And it was like tell the world tell he's. staying a cow or whatever. And I it was. it went to my spam. I didn't even really. So I caught up with it a week after I. got the text. I had four text messages. and I'm like seeing it. And I'm like. reading like who the hell is this? And. it's a picture of him with us at the. house like thumbs up like this. It's. like I could have broke that news. I. think he was trying to be like hey tell. the whole damn world. Yeah because. that's the you know it tell.

So he was basically like tell the whole. damn world basically in the text. I. didn't get it. I apologize I didn't have. his number saved but yeah that was huge. deal. That was like number one mission. is we need to keep them around which is. how every coach feels about all these. guys and obviously got some great ones. about to leave. >> Yeah. And I believe he uh played. football at Cal too. So he's got you. know vested interests and and all that. kind of stuff. But man this is like I I. know the playoffs are starting Friday. but the next.

what month and a half especially with. Michigan's head coaching vacancies still. needing to be you know filled. Like. there's just so much [ __ ] going on with. college football right now. It is kind. of like it's almost mind-numbing. >> This is why college football is the. number two sport in the country. It's. not just on the field. It's not just how. awesome the environments are, the best. in America, uh, is what college football. environments are, but also now we got a. lot of business and drama and [ __ ] And. I know people don't necessarily love it, but it is good for sport to have a lot.

of action, lot of drama. I'm not saying. it's good for the teams. I'm not saying. it's good for the universities. I'm just. telling you for the sport as a whole, talking points and subjects are only. going to magnify even more with the. growth of the sport. And that's a good. thing, not a bad thing. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah. I mean, I I guess if you're a. coach, how how far down the road can you. try to like do you develop quarterbacks. anymore? Do you do you recruit guys, give them scholarships, and develop. them? >> Did you guys I think you did, right? Was. saying.

>> uh Yeah. Well, he came from Alabama. after coach Sabin left. He was there for. a short, but yeah. >> There for a year, right? watches will. then kind of takes over. Now he's at a. Heisman uh presentation ceremony and. he's not getting asked any questions by. anybody. Just kind of off in the corner. The guy who. >> might break the college football record. for Yeah. AJ, you obviously love this. for the Ohio State Buckeyes. But it's. like he was there for a year, right? Developed. I think that is something. that took place. >> Dante Moore at Oregon. He was there for. a year behind Dylan Gabriel after they. got him to transfer out of UCLA.

>> Ty Simpson for years and years and years. at Bama. Mhm. >> That's what's going really on the. quarterback if they if they're committed. to going and actually sitting and. waiting or they're like, "Fuck it. I. want to go somewhere else and play now.". >> Yeah. Situations are. >> situational. >> All those things for Ohio State that. Julian's saying, obviously the uh. Jeremiah Smith tweet, the losing to. Indiana, the Big 10 Championship. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We all know. I think we all know. >> What's that? >> They're they're going to be motivators. >> Ohio State's about to be some.

[ __ ] in this playoff, I think. Yeah. I think if if if anything tells us. about like human case studies, >> yeah, >> whenever you get a bunch of elite dudes. to feel disrespected, >> it normally, even if they actually are, it's warranted or not warranted. But if. you just get them all to believe that. they are disrespected, man, what that. does for a group, AJ, is special. And I. think Buckeyes fans, you you couldn't. even wait for me to finish what I was. saying there about saying when you saw,

yep, that's a good thing. That is a good. thing right there. There's a lot of that. happening with the Buckeyes, AJ. >> Yeah, it's a great thing seeing Julian. Singh like that. Obviously, you feel bad. for him in the moment, but guess what? Like all those O linemen, they're going. to be they're going to be going extra. hard through the whistle. Those that. defense, they're going to be standing up. for their guy and and they want people. to know how good they are. I mean, you. guys were on the field pregame when they. played Tennessee last year at Ohio State. in the freezing cold. Like that that. warm-up, that whole session, like that. had a different feel to it, you know, like that was a pissed-off football. team. absolutely pissed off coaching.

staff and everybody and they just yeah. they they started out and they didn't. look back. So I'm not saying everything. goes as swimmingly as that last season. did. It's always a roller coaster up and. down, but I think Ohio State's in a. great spot. >> I mean they demolished everybody. >> Mhm. >> It was just uh from jump too. And you. talk about Jack Sawyer and the boys as. the shirtless Tennessee guys were. running around the field trying to tell. everybody how tough they were. Jack. Sawyer and them were like, "All right, let's fight them." Like actually, let's. go ahead and do this. It was a uh it was.

a special time for that Buckeye team. Can they find that magic again? It feels. like society is giving them all the. ingredients they need. >> Yeah. And they got the toughest road you. could argue. Like sure they do have a. buy, but they get the winner of&M and. Miami. So, who knows what's going to. happen there, but I think we all have. our assumptions. And then possibly. Georgia. Like Georgia's been just as. dominant. >> or two lane. >> Nope. No chance. Um and Miss also no. chance. So Georgia, you [laughter] could. argue has the easiest path, you know, save Ohio State to get to the natty, but.

that Ohio State, you know, that byee, we've talked about it being bad, might. be a massive one for Ohio State to rest, especially after those two go to war. >> I'm appreciative that football is back. up and running for them this weekend. Last year it felt like forever. I don't. know if it got changed or if this is the. same schedule as it was, but boy, I'm. thankful Friday kicks it all off, Saturday kicks it all off, and we get. rolling. The teams with the buys last. year did not benefit from them. Felt. like they were actually more rusty than. the teams that got to play, but would. have mattered if they didn't. We shall.

see. And while these teams look like. just two weeks after the season ends for. all of them, as the transfer portal was. right in the middle of all of this. So, it's crazy time to be alive. We'll be. live from Texas A&M hosting Miami on. Saturday at noon on ESPN 2 and the ESPN. app. Uh. we're so. I mean it's outrageous that we're. allowed to do this just every year. This. is one of those things that we're doing. that we think is just so stupid. It's. like Super Bowl radio row when we're.

there. We think it's so stupid because. how nice the set is, how many people. come by and what we get to do. Like this. is outrageous we get to do this. This is. one of those ones where we're living the. dumbest lives of all time. And it'll be. fully on display on Saturday at noon on. ESPN 2 and you can follow along as we. realize that in the moment. Debug, >> I can't wait. This is my favorite thing. to do, you know, since being on this. sports media journey, being on the. field, uh, boots on the ground, calling. the game from field level, you know, the. interaction that we're able to have with.

the players sometimes, the coaches, the. fans, like it other camera people, like. it's it's all awesome. >> Spanx, we'll see how he does. I saw him. on TV the other night. Go ahead, AJ. No, the end zone view that we get, we. stand like on the field basically in the. end zone until a couple people try to. get us to to move back a little bit. Like it's a special thing to sit there. and watch the biggest college football. game some like of all time in real time. like right there on the field. It's. Yeah, it's just a wild situation. It's. absolutely awesome. >> Shout out to Omaha allowing us to kind.

of do and craft whatever we think would. be good. Shout out to everybody uh. that's a part of this. Shout out Ben. Ward. I believe he's back, you know. Shout out Dish. I believe he'll be back. out there. So, we'll be uh hopefully. making the game uh better if you were to. follow along with although Fowler and. Herbstreet will obviously have their. call uh on ABC and ESPN, I assume. Uh we. are available on ESPN 2 for an. alternative option. Now, we can't really. see the names. >> No, >> we don't know how how big of a gain it.

is. Always a difficult thing to kind of. see. >> Is that a three- yard gain or a 13 yard. gain? Not 100% sure from our. perspective. That's going to be. difficult for us to tell. So, the first. quarter we might be trying to find our. way back in there. And uh we're lucky. and thankful to do. >> You've been there before, too. This will. be my first time there. It looks. >> unbelievable on TV. >> Yeah, they are uh they're all in. >> Like, they are all in. Even when they. were assining.

good and they are uh it's a special. place, man. I I I've talked about this. last week whenever we mentioned this. that we're going to do it. Every time I. came back and I think you guys would be. able to correct me here or not. Game day. when I come back on Mondays and we. chitchat about places obviously good. conversation about spots. Hey, this food. was this crowd was like this felt like. early they maybe weren't in or they were. in then they fell out late. Like there's. always like a recap of the college game. day universities because I get a chance.

to go and experience things that like. not everybody gets to do. It's like it's. a very cool part of that entire thing is. just seeing how certain places operate. College Station I think always was a. very jovial conversation on Monday. morning about cuz I was gifted full. [ __ ] cowboy fit the last the second. time I was there. Hat, [ __ ] buckle, boots, the whole thing like, "Hey, welcome back to town. Just want to make. sure." And the guy full on [ __ ] I. mean it was just like. >> very thank every time I've been down. there I've been very thankful. I think. that's come across in our conversations.

>> Yeah, without a doubt. And then it's. just kind of the cherry on top that you. know if you're going to Texas A&M. [clears throat] the dudes are all the. dudes of Dude Perfect are probably. always you know a Stones throw away. Tyler somewhere you know Purple Hoes are. somewhere. So I that's something I've. been thinking about as well. I was like. holy [ __ ] am I am I maybe going to meet. the dudes this weekend? There's. [laughter] a chance. >> we should have Tyler do something on the. Simo cast. >> Yep. >> Not a terrible idea. Take a snap. >> in the game. >> Well I don't know if we can get a. uniform on him. We're going to have to.

check his uh eligibility in that whole. thing. But there has to. >> get him to dunk on the goalpost. He can. dunk on the goalpost, I bet. For sure. >> Trash can for sure, right? Just easy. >> Oh yeah. >> I mean, we could easy trash can Gatorade. bottle. >> Just old school. I mean, that's the most. basic trick shot. >> Hey, this will be for a $100,000. giveaway on X. >> We'll give 20 people uh $5,000, Tyler, if you're able to bury this Gatorade. bottle or bottle of some sort into a. trash can. One shot only, Tyler.

>> One shot only. >> Knowing Tyler, he's. >> Yeah. >> drilling that. >> Yeah. >> Him making that kick down there last. year. Outrageous. Thought he had no. chance. >> Athlete. >> I think he kicked a field goal too on. their channel like threw an upright was. like this. >> Yep. >> Unbelievable what he's able to. accomplish. >> Thomas the dudes. >> That is him. College football. We. appreciate the opportunity. Yeah. Here. it is. This [ __ ] guy. >> Boom. >> Easy. He had to have played soccer, right? >> Got virtual goal post. >> He owns a soccer team. Everything he. does. >> He owns everything, too.

>> He does. >> And that body armor tastes damn good and. refules you anything. >> Nice. >> All right, Tyler. We'll see you this. weekend, hopefully. Okay, ladies and. gentlemen, it's time to do something. that we get to do every single Monday, which is kind of test the temperatures, the fan bases around the entire country. How's everybody feeling about their. teams? How's the fanhood? And how are. the mindsets? Well, I put out a tweet. saying, "Hey, I want to hear from you. Let me know how you feel and uh what do. you think needs to be done? All you got. to use is. >> # I don't want to overreact.

>> But then Ty goes through them and uh. finds his favorites. It ended up being. the number two trend on X. We appreciate. everybody participating and obviously we. know it's not about us, it's about ball. Let's get to the tweets. This one's from. Boston Connor. Big Patriots fan. # I. don't want to overreact, but New England. has everything in front of them still. We all wanted that victory bad, but that. isn't the plan. Vable is going to use. this loss like HGH to get the boys. juiced up for the playoff run that this. team is capable of. I agree con man. I.

don't know about the HGH. Maybe the. horse stuff that people were taking back. in the day. I think this is everything. that Vrabel could have ever wanted for. motivation for a young team that hasn't. really been here yet. Con man. >> Yeah, no doubt about it. I think uh. Sunday was a big time uh this is what. it's like to have an MVP and this is. what it's like to be in an MVP. conversation. Drake Mage is not there. yet. the team as a whole, I think you. could argue is not there yet. Injuries. on both sides for the Bills and for the. Patriots. But if if they can get healthy. and if they can close the right way to.

the season rather, I do think there's a. chance they can go on a run. But once. again, Josh Allen putting on that cape. He's Superman in the snow, baby. >> Yes, he is. And uh I don't know if there. was snow. I know it was cold. I. appreciated JJ Watt in real time uh. accurately describing what Drake May did. there. Arm punt, 49 yard arm punt right. there. ball down inside the 10. We'll. take that over a punt. I appreciate that. piece of information out there. Trayvon. Henderson obviously has a couple. explosive plays and scores. Did he score. too soon though? Did he score too soon.

is potentially the question. What was. the uh time of possession in the second. half, Con man? >> Yeah, in the second half the Bills had. the ball for 21 minutes 15 seconds and. the Patriots had the ball for 8 minutes. 45 seconds. Biggest thing too, third. quarter, they had 10 total plays, one. rushing play. If if you go back and look. at it, I think they averaged nine nine. and a quarter per rush. Um, but we just. did not have the ball enough in the. second half. Josh Allen is still Josh. [ __ ] Allen. And yes, James Cook. is very, very good at football.

>> Yeah. So are the Patriots, though. I I. you know, you're you could be a good. team and lose late right now. Like teams. are good right now. Yeah. >> The only thing that matters you don't. lose in the playoffs. Now granted, it's. possible, but you're going to lose a. game or two here down the stretch to a. team that's very good and also capable. of doing what you're doing. >> Absolutely. A lot of people were looking. at this game is like the test. Okay. Patriots, great record coming off the. bye-week. Uh great oppon pretty good. opponent, especially with Josh Allen at. quarterback coming to your house. You. got a chance to get the hat and t-shirt. Um and then just kind of got outplayed.

down the stretch. But Josh Allen, he's. going to do that to a lot of people. leading the NFL in fourth quarter. passing yards and touchdowns. And then. kind of on the flip side, you know, uh. Bo Nicks was kind of that it was same. thing. Hey, can he do it against a good. team? Good Packers. So, I think the. Patriots still be uh in it at the end, but it will be tough at this point, especially with 15 been out to bet. against Josh Allen. >> Okay, so that's what I was about to say. Down the stretch, you think Josh Allen. can do it this year. And do you think. it'll be held against him that he didn't. beat Patrick M. >> So Josh Allen goes [laughter] goes. through the AFC playoffs here and gets. [clears throat] to the Super Bowl, which.

obviously the Buffalo Beals have been. trying to do for some time and had a. team in our eyes to be able to do that. over the past few years. If they were. able to do that and do everything and go. this off seasonason, they would. immediately say he didn't have to play. Mahomes, so that's exactly the reason. why, which is kind of [ __ ] but. that's a world that we live in. But this. Bills team, you think they can do it? >> Yeah, I think that would be stupid if. people held it against him because Yeah, because Mahomes, if he was hurt, let's. say week three maybe, but since he got. hurt when they were kind of already. eliminated, you know, he he didn't make. it to the dance. So, if Josh is able to.

get to the dance and then make his way. to a Super Bowl and win a championship, that won't be held against him. Um the. defense, the run defense is their. biggest uh hill. So Josh Allen's offense. historically he's been unbelievable in. the playoffs. If they can go and put up. 35 40 points a game and kind of take the. other team's rushing offense out of it. Yes. Uh but yeah, with Mahomes out of. the picture, I think they can make a run. and win it all. >> Yeah. And we started going through all. the teams and we were just putting. ourselves on a Friday having to pick the. games and we're like [snorts] you. picking against Josh Allen with bump,

you picking against Josh Allen with bump. and it's like am I picking the Bills? Am. I picking the Bills right now? I never. could have expected that at this stage. But they are so [ __ ] good, especially. because Josh Allen is so [ __ ] good. >> Yeah. Very interesting, too. If you look. at this playoff picture, like would you. want to be and I'm asking you guys like. would you want to be the uh the the two. seed or the six seed? I'm not sure if. the Bills are five or six, but uh like. if you're the two seed and you got to. play the Texans at home and then.

possibly play, you know, who knows, the. Jags or whatever, like what would you. kind of rather do as far as path? Of. course you want home field, but do you. want to play the Texans in the first. round? Cuz now that's what I'm looking. at as a Patriots fan. Like [ __ ] that um. [laughter] five or six. Still not sure. about that. Uh that that seat. Okay. That six seed almost might be better. than the the two. >> Yeah. I think CJ Stroud and the Texans. defense is a scare. I I think that is. going to be a hard out. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I I think that Texans defense is a.

nightmare. Now, I'm not saying that the. Broncos defense isn't a nightmare, but. we've seen a couple people have success. against them. Houston Texans defense. since they've become the defense that. they are. It's not a lot of good times. Anybody, nobody's having real The NFL. does not want the Houston Texans in. prime time down the stretch in the. playoffs because what they are going to. do, the other team's offense, which is. where all the stars are, is just going. to smother them. And that is literally. what they have been. And then CJ is a. guy. We know he can be a guy. If he.

performs as a guy, it's like with that. defense, anybody can win. So it's like. nobody wants the Texans right now. And. they don't even lead the AFC South. Nope. The Jacksonville Jaguars do. It's. a fascinating little AFC development. >> I I say this with all due respect, and. if if you pop that back up there for me, Foxy, if you're the if you're the AFC. North winner who's going to be the four. seed, you want the five seed to stay the. same. If you're the Jaguars, you'd love. the Chargers to drop to six. And if. you're the Patriots, you'd love for them. to drop to seven. And that's with all. due respect to the Chargers, but I don't. think you want to play Josh Allen. I. don't think you want to play the Texans. defense. >> So, we should not be popping up a.

graphic that's wrong whenever you want. to. >> It's not wrong. >> It's not wrong. No. >> Okay. So the you said Chargers dropped. the six. >> No, I'm saying if they drop the I'm. saying you were saying there. >> Well, I I don't understand how it works. week to week because the Bills have been. the five seed for a long time and then I. thought the Chargers were the six and. then a week later they they flip. But I. know it's tiebreers and all that [ __ ]. It just makes no sense. >> The Chargers are the five over the six. because they win the tiebreaker over the. Buffalo Bills based on best win. percentage in conference games. >> Yeah. Which I which last week was. different. That's why I legitimately did. not know. >> Okay, got it. Yeah, I thought we.

potentially had that wrong. Shout out to. the graphic maker for getting it right. whenever we put it up there. But it is. fascinating how all this can kind of. change the path to the Super Bowl. And. uh there's some really difficult ones. >> Yeah. If you're up there [ __ ] if you're. up there at top, [ __ ] it. [ __ ] who you. play. >> Yeah, right. >> We got good defense, too. >> We got good defense. >> That's how players feel. Most players. >> as they should. They're worried about. playing us is what you're saying. They're they're scared to play us no. matter what team you are. >> Yeah. Have to get to that belief at. least, you know. Have to get to that. belief at least. And by the way, seven.

seeds won a Super Bowl before. Anybody. can do it. >> Mhm. >> Anybody can do it. Let's go to the next. overreaction, shall we? This is from. EpicNormie. # I don't want to overreact. But. >> what they going to SAY NOW? THE BRONCOS. ARE A killing machine. Death taxes in a. Broncos win every week, guaranteed. Longest win streak in the NFL. Longest. home win streak in the NFL. Best record. in the NFL. Best team in the NFL. your. Super Bowl. >> 60. >> Yeah. Is it.

>> champions. Denver Broncos? I LOVE THIS FROM NORMMY. The Broncos. fans flexing their [ __ ] in this or no? >> Uh yeah, I think Broncos fans have felt. uh disrespected for like the last like. six or seven weeks, which is kind of. weird because I think it's maybe. different for us because going into the. season they were the Cinderella that was. everyone was picking them, but it kind. of has been. People have been trying to. poke holes in their resume as they've. just continued to win. It's, hey, this. is a great defense, but Bo Knicks just.

isn't there yet. Their offense isn't. good enough. Wait till these guys play. someone good. And then again yesterday, like that there was a moment there where. like the Packers were very close to. completely taking control of that game. And then uh if you I mean, if you watch. that whole thing, it's not hard or it'd. be very hard not to think like, hey, Bo. Nicks could go win these guys a Super. Bowl. Like he he was outstanding. yesterday. And again, their defense. didn't play great all day, but then in. the fourth quarter when they got the. lead and they needed to get stops, I.

think they hadn't sacked Love through. the first three quarters maybe, and they. had like at least four sacks in the. last, I don't know, five minutes of the. fourth quarter. So, it's like closing. time when you absolutely have to have. it. Like the Broncos just showed up. >> Bo, Drake, Jaden, Caleb, we're dancing. with We're dancing with it. Like. greatest draft class in the history. right now. We're early. We're very. [ __ ] early, but boy, we are dancing. with it. >> Yeah, we're very early, but it's it's. hard to argue at this point. Like even. looking at like Jaden this year, sure,

you can just call it a wash. He got. hurt, but look at the progression of the. guys and how much better they're. getting. Like Drake May and Bo Knicks. and Caleb have all made massive steps. Now, I don't know about Jaden. He. hopefully next year he bounces back, but. yeah, even go ahead and look at nine. Like if I'm if I'm looking at the. Vikings and you're just strictly from. outside looking at not a fan at all like. you are definitely buying stock in nine. like you look at the teams that he's. beat the Bears in prime time and yes it. was just one good quarter and is a.

massive comeback but then in this prime. time game in Dallas he he puts on a show. like he he's he could be a big time you. know player big time moments type of guy. >> and he's acknowledging that his form and. technique is ass like they they. basically that's what they said last. night, Collinssworth was like, "Here's a. sidebyside of him and Josh. They both. are basically very much on their front. foot. They're offbalance. They've been. able to do that because of who they are. their entire careers." The Vikings and. JJ have acknowledged that, but that's. for him to work on in the offseason.

Then Justin Jefferson's brother was a. quarterback. I heard Chris Collinsworth. say, so like Chris Collinsworth talked. to Justin Jefferson about not being a. diva and kind of not getting pissed off. Justin Jefferson said, "My brother's a. quarterback. I understand what they're. going through." But I think everybody. there kind of acknowledges like JJ is. nowhere near as good of a passer as he. could become or as good of a passer as. we need him potentially to be on some. plays. But that's only up and to the. right. The moxy, the leadership, all. that [ __ ] seemingly is everything that. JJ is. >> Yeah. He just needs to stay healthy cuz.

that was kind of his big thing as we. talked adnauseium about like, hey, this. guy needs reps. This guy needs to play. And then how how many games did he end. up playing in this year? Like so that's. a big part of it, you know, like he got. [ __ ] on for that Packers game at Lambo, but realistically that was like his. fourth start of the season when we were. in week 12 or whatever it was. So he was. kind of behind the eightball this entire. year, but you certainly see glimpses of. it every week. >> Yeah. Well, yeah. I mean, it was just. like when Josh Allen was just a freak. show athlete with a great arm. He's.

going to make a play every once in a. while and then all the intangibles Nine. has. Well, JJ McCarthy has. Yeah, >> we'll see if Nine is able to continue. doing that. Kill Nine. Keep JJ and uh we. can't wait to see it. I did not like. that they put Phil Rivers face on to. Nine whenever doing that thing. >> He got nine. >> Happy happened to Drake as well. >> I asked Elon to delete it. >> Joe Burrows, too. >> Yeah, he kind of deserve. >> got nine, too. >> He's been getting a lot number nine,

>> but I asked [laughter]. >> I asked you to believe it. I did not I. did not love it. >> Geez, >> that one's good. >> It is. >> with the face paint. >> That's a hater reporter. I mean that the. hater report they're going to get. >> They're gonna get you. They're artists. on there. >> Looks good. >> It's very well done. Which is why I told. Elon people don't know if this is real. or not. So [ __ ] delete it. >> Appreciate you asking that. >> The Burrow ones are getting worse than. the night edit. Honestly, >> I think about Burrow just being so. bummed out. I don't know if we have an.

overreaction for Burrow or not. I don't. want to dive into it right now. Uh, I. don't think there was one. They They've. given up. They don't. >> He needs uh. He needs a. >> I heard you I heard you talk about maybe. a little ceremony. >> I think so. >> Does feel like that's where where we've. gotten. >> Yeah. And I'm not saying that that's a. bad thing, by the way. I'm just saying. there are there are options to kind of. get a little bit of a reset from our. understanding of what could happen. Now, there's people that obviously have done.

the whole thing and said that they. didn't like it or whatever and it's been. terrible. And I'm not saying everybody. should do it, but there comes a time, I. think, in some people's lives, whether. it's football or other things that have. drove them mentally to be to a spot. where they can't get out of whatever. And it feels like this is an alternative. to kind of change your perspective, change your mindset and everything like. that. and we saw it work for the. positive for a guy who went on to go. back-toback MVPs whenever he was. potentially searching for something as. well. So, yeah, it I'm not saying this.

is a guarantee that he's going to do. this or he needs to do this. But I am. saying it feels like he's at a state. mentally where it's like I don't like I. don't I don't like what I'm seeing out. of Joey B. Too talented, too successful, too good of a teammate, too appreciated, too light to be at a point in his life. where he's not happy. You know, like. Absolutely. You know what I mean, AJ? >> Especially like when you Yeah. when you. think about like whenever he's done. playing football some days like man I. wish I like it is true like you wish you. would enjoy the moments more that when. you look back and you realize how. special it is which I'm sure he does. he's very seems like a very appreciative.

dude but uh I don't know like it just. doesn't whatever's going on it would not. be fun right now I think in Cincy. >> Jamar Chase said I don't ever have to. ask him to uplift him and I might have. to do that and then he's the one that. kind of said there's a lot going on in. people's lives and it's like Joey we. want to let you know man. you're great for ball. You have been. great for ball and uh we appreciate your. contribution to sport and anything that. isn't making you feel like that. and life and society. Let's go ahead and.

get those anchors out of there, brother. Let's go ahead and get those anchors out. of there and let's just let's just keep. it going. You're special, brother. You're one of one and uh we need you to. stay in ball because of how great you. are. Now, if it's. >> strictly because you guys can't play for. a Super Bowl this year, everybody was. kind of saying that was probably going. to happen with the way you constructed. your roster. So, it's kind of a give and. take situation for this year. Hopefully. next year even better. Let's get to the. next overreaction, shall we? This is. from uh shipped it at shipped it # I. don't want to overreact, but the Chiefs.

are officially no longer the Chiefs for. the first time in a decade. And sadly, we don't really know when or. if they might be the Chiefs again. The. Chiefs are likely going to look very. different next season, perhaps never the. same. And that [ __ ] wolf's just rotten in. jail watching it all. >> Yeah, they need to break him out. >> Yeah, >> I'm sure. >> I don't know about that. >> We need to keep him behind bars. That. man is a psycho. >> What if they want to win again?

>> I don't know if it's him or. >> it's time to burn back Red Extreme. >> I did see a couple other Chief Super. fans on banisters and stuff this. weekend. It feels like they got a lot of. those brewing over there, but that's. what happens whenever you win all the. time. Fandom becomes super fandom. >> Casual becomes obsession. >> When you're on top of the world, sometimes you can fly a little too close. to the sun. Is that what happened to the. Kansas City Chiefs? We shall see. And.

can they reset? Is this a delay or a. deletion of a dynasty, AJ? >> This is a delay. You got Patrick. Mahomes. You are not deleting anything. >> Amen, brother. That's how I feel as. well. Hopefully shipped it can get back. on board with that. Let's go to the next. one. This is from Count at God of the. Voyage. Really? Is this who you guys brain to. whenever you're doing Voyages? >> No, I don't know. This guy seemed like. he's into some like goofy video game. [ __ ] That's just that was my first. take based on his profile.

>> Bill, what's the video game that God of. the Voyage Kim would potentially uh be. be a part of? He's 30 seconds behind, so. we'll wait for him to catch up. # I. don't want to overreact, but the Bills. are inevitable. Half our store uh. starters wouldn't even make rosters. And. yet, as long as you have Joshua, Patrick, [ __ ] Allen. Every game. is within reach. No lead is safe. Hear. me now. Quote me later. Buffalo Bills. are your Super Bowl. >> 60 champions. A lot of people crown themselves as.

Super Bowl champions. I like that this. time of year. I like the hope. I like. the optimism. I like that Joshua's. middle name is Patrick. And I like that. they let James cook. Shout out to the. Buffalo Bills. This is a huge win. Belt. to ass early. So, showing the resiliency. and I like the fact half our store uh. starters wouldn't even make other teams. rosters. Debut. What does that mean? You. think whenever you talk about a squad? Uh. >> I wouldn't go that far. Uh but yeah, whenever you have Josh Allen, like we. said earlier, it would be hard to bet. against him. If you're a fan of this. team, you got to feel very very good.

about your chances going forward with. the Chiefs been out of it with that. history there. But with James Cook, if. they can run the ball, >> actually, it's based on their uh their. tight end uh combination. Uh then some. of the players on defense, Benford, who. has been, you know, their best corner. He got banged up. He should be back at. some point during a run. And then Ed. Oliver who changed the game, their run. defense. He tore his pec or bicep and. they've been some some rumblings about. maybe him making a late playoff return. if they're able to get there. So yeah, if I'm a Bills fan, I feel damn good.

about myself. >> Magic the Gathering is the game that. Khem God of Voyage is a part of. And. what you heard there was Nick giving a. immediate smartass response to that. [laughter] answer being delivered in the. middle of your breakdown of the Buffalo. Bills. >> which I appreciate and respect. [laughter] but yeah they're a special. group AJ I think is what we're all. saying. I think they're a magical group. you know uh. >> they are magical. Could someone explain. Magic the Gathering how you actually. play? Does anybody know? >> Well it's very similar to that other one. where you do the the thing where you're. around for a long time. You create a lot.

of stuff. You shake hands and then you. go around and do your. >> ring. Exactly. Dungeons and Dragons. >> It's a card game though, right? It's a. card game. >> It's in the name. You gather and there's. magic. >> It's a more nerdy Pokemon. I think. that's the best WAY TO PUT IT. My. understanding. >> What? >> Well, what do you do in Pokemon even? >> Maybe B. >> Oh, you go. You Pokemon Go. Remember, I. found out that we weren't going to win. the Super Bowl because our offensive. linemen were doing it in training camp. instead of paying att. >> Were you there for that? Were you there. that year for that? >> Oh, I think so. Yeah. It.

>> was outside the cafeteria. We all saw. it. Yeah, that was that was interesting. >> You got to come over here. What? >> Guys were walking into traffic. Yeah. Yeah. >> People died. Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. They did. I mean, you got you. know, if you die doing that, it's on. you, pal. >> You committed. You committed. >> Well, I mean, my dad told me that one. time when I went Bigfoot hunting in the. hills of Georgia. >> It's very true. >> If you die doing that, this one's on. you. This [laughter] is how this thing's. over. >> We're not gonna feel bad for you. That's. what he's saying. >> Said, "Wait a minute. You're doing what? With who?

If you die out there, like expected and. also on you. Got it. I'm gonna go find. Bigfoot, though. What if I [ __ ] get. him? Didn't find him. And I'm alive. Win-win. Let's go to the next one, shall. we? Tanner Rod # I don't want to. overreact, but. >> this might have been an alltime bummed. out weekend. Packers had a nine-point. lead in the second half and Super Bowl. future went to absolute strike. I was. told to never give up by a certain man, but he too tapped out. I'm tapping on. this season. Heal up, boys. I hope that.

this is not what this has become with. John Cena and the Green Bay Packers. Ty, >> there were so many of these today. So. many just so many that I saw that. screenshot 20,000 times this morning. probably and I just said, you know what? I feel you, brother. I'm kind of feeling. the same way. I'm not that where I was. this morning, but I get feeling like. that, especially after watching Cena. this weekend. >> Were you smiling while it was happening? Cuz Cena was content with it. Don't feel. like you guys are really content. He was. he was uh it made me laugh. So yeah, I.

was smiling. >> Maybe you're content because you lose. Mike and now the expectation is we're. not probably going to win. So maybe you. do smile a little bit and just. >> Yeah, I think now I don't have to be as. disappointed if [snorts] they don't win. at all because it's like, you know, >> Cena creates. the amount of his face obviously coming. into that thing. >> This one is going to be around for I. love that one. >> all time. WWE put out the 4K version of. it, so it it had another life, another.

birth. >> They knew what they were doing with. that. It's a good move. >> And people say it was a bad ending. >> It's going to live forever, Bone, for. the business. >> Still crying. >> Yeah, he's still Was he like more Was he. more angry or more sad? >> I think it was all the stages. Angry. early though. Very angry immediately, which led to his group texting. >> and public posting. Yeah, >> I I had some people tag me in some of. his posts going, "Good luck. Pat's gonna.

fire you for saying this or whatever.". It's like, "You should have seen a group. text. >> You should group text this guy.". >> He's allowed to have his passion. >> Yeah, exactly. >> He's allowed to feel how he he wants to. feel and WWE is allowed to say what they. want to say. Tonight, 8:00 Eastern, Netflix, WWE Monday Night Raw, live from. Hershey, Pennsylvania. >> Is driving there? >> Huh? >> Is Bone driving there? >> He That's where he was going to drive to. the party concert. >> for the opening weekend. No, it wasn't. even that. >> No, it was Hardy, >> was it? Yeah. >> I thought it was someone I thought it. was like someone a lot.

>> three and a half hours for Hardy. Yeah. >> 16hour drive round trip he was going to. do opening weekend of NFL season. >> It was a meet and greet though. >> Yeah. And he he didn't even have. tickets. He was just going to stand. outside the door. >> Yep. >> Let's get to the next overreaction. You. deserve this, Bone. This from Pants at. JW23. # I don't want to overreact, but. >> the Chargers are a Joe Alt and Rashawn. Slater away from being [laughter]. unstoppable. Defense is flying around. catching bodies. Herbert finding ways to.

win with one hand and no blocking. Give. him his two generational tackles back. and the rest of the league is [ __ ] I. actually agree with that. >> Watching that game, they're on a smaller. screen. They were on a smaller screen up. here. Uh Herbert was just running for. his life the entire time. And then all. Chargers fans kept saying was, "Yes, this is what it has been." Basically, they drafted offensive linemen, they get. injured, they try to fix it, they get. injured. Jim Harbaugh says the only. thing that matters is protecting. Herbert. For some reason, they just. can't get the Golden Goose any.

protection. And he's running for his. goddamn life. Ty Schmidt. >> Yeah. I mean, you could obviously things. can happen, but you could argue like, hey, if if his offensive line is halfway. decent, then he doesn't have a broken. left hand right now and like their. offense looks much differently. But. you're probably thinking going into the. playoffs like, hey, the Chargers, you. know, with a a an AFC that's kind of. wide open with the exception of a couple. teams who might be a little bit better, like their defense is unreal. You could. argue like, hey, this team could win a.

Super Bowl, but I think it's pretty. evident with their offensive line. struggles. like they're probably not. going to win the Super Bowl. >> So, I I looked this up earlier when we. were talking about Mahomes and how much. he's run this year and stuff like that. He ran he's he ran 69 times this year. and sacked was sacked 34 times. Okay. Justin Herbert has ran the ball 70 times. this year and has been sacked 49 times. Sheesh. >> 15 more than Patrick Mahomes is getting. banged up plus another 15 hits running. the ball or whatever. Herbert is. special. I think we agree with that. Is.

he enough to just be able to win this by. himself seeing? >> H it's hard. We we rarely see that ever. in the NFL. You know that we saw that. with Joe Burrow. He got the closest. without having an offensive line that. can actually protect you. You know, you. can get the [ __ ] beat out of you. So, no, it'll be too tough. Tweet was great. though. If you you have those guys. healthy who you thought they were, you. drafted and paid them. They can go and. win the Super Bowl. They have everything. else. They have weapons. They have the. defense. They've have have all those. things. But without an offensive line, we we talk about every year with AQ in. the trenches, you don't have a real. shot. >> They feel snake bit by injury every.

year. I I feel like this is the same. story with the Chargers and that and. that is what really sucks especially. with a QB like Justin Herbert like he is. a generational type of guy but it feels. like every single year they're dealing. with injuries to the most important. positions too. Not just like a you know. a linebacker not that linebackers aren't. important as calm down but like to to. the left tackles and to their pass. rusher and to their corner. It's like. almost every single year it is something. vital. >> Yeah. Let's go to the next one here.

Bear Force One at Bear Don 777. # I. don't want to overreact, but the NFC. North is the Bears division. Beat the. shite out of the Brownies JV team and. shoops another INT. Toyota thawn in. Green Bay overdawn in Detroit over. onward and upward. See you in the. playoffs where we will be hosting. Hashgood better. Bears are for real AJ. It's a whole new culture there and this.

seems like it's the next 10 years or so. >> Yeah, it does seem like Ben Johnson's. culture has got in there and his his. offensive scheme is really, you know, taking place and Caleb, I believe, went. there a couple times Caleb looking like. gave a little thing to the crowd like, "Oh, I'm not cold or whatever." A cold. doesn't affect me. I know he was feeling. it pretty good. So, I think that's a big. step for them. And also for Chicago, credit to them in the grass. I'm sure. they spray painted some of it, but it. actually doesn't look like it's 9 in. long like it usually is and all torn up. >> Well, completely frozen. Obviously, it's. going to be a sticky turf. We did see. some pigeons on the ground uh during.

punts yesterday and also flying over top. of the wide receivers. The pigeons like. to get in there. The pigeons were there. whenever the football was shite. They. certainly wanted to get a little bit of. a closer view on a good Chicago Bears. football team. >> Yeah, there's nothing you can say that's. going to make me think those birds are. real. But should dupes, uh, that is. unbelievable. I don't know if [laughter]. ever seen a should dupes. That was. comedy. without Roman Dunay and DJ Moore. and Caleb Williams if they actually. start to kind of get going together, Luther Burton and him uh especially now. for these rookies and of I mean their.

defense has two or three picks every. single weeks. Granted it was should. dupes in the Browns but still they get. their hands on balls. They they do hold. on to them. >> 29 I think or is it 30? >> Yeah, 30 picks is uh it's a greedy bunch. back there. It's a greedy bunch back. there. Living off of turnovers. Does. that work in the playoffs? >> Not typically. >> Definitely not. >> I thought we were about a year out from. the Chicago Bears being like Super Bowl. contending team. If it's negative 20 and.

your quarterback spinning it like that. and you guys are thumping like that, I'm. like, "Wait a minute. Maybe this team. can. >> have a chance. Yeah, you're going to. have a chance. It'll be close like no. matter what.". >> Absolutely. Congrats to the Bears. Love. what you're doing up there. Are you at. the good, better, or best state of the. team currently? And have you never let. it rest yet? And when does the good. become the better and the better become. the best if you haven't? We shall see. with Ben Johnson. Let's get to the next. one here. This from DC man at triple eye.

DC man. Triple I # I don't want to. overreact. But the Rams game broke. Donald. He's been a shell of his early. season self and needs to get his ginger. head out of his ass and quickly before. he throws the season away like one of. his four INTs against the Rams. If we. lose Thursday, pack up the season. Thursday's gigantic for the NFC West. >> Yeah, >> we got Rams Seahawks on Thursday night. Thank [ __ ] God that is what's kicking. off week 16. The NFC West is the NF.

NFL's best. We all agree with that. Them. kicking off week 16 special. And to his. point though, Sam Darnold is going to. have to be productive because we know. Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense. certainly are. >> We need Sam Darnold be he I'm sure he. remembers last year and how people, you. know, his ending in Minnesota. he knows. he needs to play well down the stretch. at the end of the season. So, I mean, Seahawks are by no means out of it. Obviously 11 and three, they're still a. very good team. But yeah, Thursday, what. a what an awesome treat for us actually. to get a great game like that on. Thursday night. >> The Lions are lurking obviously, but.

here's the top four odds on favorites to. win the Super Bowl. The Green Bay. Packers plus 750 post Micah loss. Philadelphia Eagles plus 550. They get a. huge win over the Raiders. Saw Bradley. Cooper at the game. >> Oh wow. It's good to see Bradley Cooper. out there having a good time being. happy. The Seahawks plus 350. They just. ruined Phil uh Rivers entire life. And. then the Rams plus 170. Uh this is to. win the NFC West. Are these the odds? >> Yes. >> Oh, this is to win the NFC as a whole. Got it. I got it to win the NFC as a. whole. So whenever you talk about it,

you're talking about those four teams. whenever it comes to the DraftKings. odds. And uh we get two of them on. Thursday night. That's awesome. >> Huge. >> Oh yeah. >> This is what it's supposed to be. >> Yeah. This will pretty much decide. homefield advantage. >> Well, I was gonna say that. And yes, it. will. And there's a team that isn't on. there in the San Francisco 49ers. They. still have to play Seattle. So, if. Seattle beats LA on Thursday night and. then the Niners beat Seattle, Niners. would be the one seed, I believe. >> Well, let's see. Because the Niners got. a big one on Monday, which leads to.

this. Michael Jen uh Jenkins at. squirrelman69. # I don't want to overreact, but Colts. are going to Super Bowl. Okay, >> we got Grandpa Rivers throwing piss. missiles out there and putting the best. team in the NFC in a dog fight for their. life. We easily ramrod every AFC team. going forward. Get ready for the dick. down, Jags. Love that. Jags just had the. best game of their lives. They're on top. of the AFC South. Michael Jenkins says, "Not for long, my friends. The Colts.

just did what they did to the Seattle. Seahawks, who are a special team, special unit." Everybody's talking about. Phil wasn't really able to do anything. Have many teams been able to do anything. against the Seattle Seahawks? >> Nope. >> Let's talk about this defense without a. bunch of guys. DeForest Buckner may be. back soon. >> Oh, that' be. >> maybe back soon. Obviously, Sauce out, Ward out. We got a lot of injuries on. defensive side. We held them to six. field goals. Okay. Sam Darnold has been. historically great. So, I can see why. Squirrelman would be pumped about the. Indianapolis Colts. There's a lot of. Colts fans that uh wanted to bow out.

Okay. There was a lot of very angry. Colts fans after this loss. Mhm. >> Uh, a lot of people saying mean things. about the coach. >> What? >> Oh, yeah. >> Big time. Uh, I wanted I wanted to pick. like a positive one because I thought. all the river stuff was just like really. cool, you know? I mean, like even if. you're not a Colts fan, like that was. that was awesome watching him go in. there and damn near beat Seattle. But. yeah, Colts fans didn't take it that. way. Um, this was basically the only. positive overreaction there was for the. Colts. A lot of it was basically like,

well, Grandpa River [ __ ] is depends. again. A lot of that kind of stuff. A. lot of people are about done with Coach. Stinkin as you know they want to say. name. >> Yeah, I know. But no one knows what his. real name is anymore. So. >> it's Coach Stiken. Shane. >> Shinkan. >> His name's Shane Stiken. And we almost. beat the [ __ ] season. >> Why were people so upset? Because I. believe everyone was making fun of the. Colts all week and they were going to. get blown out and they were 14-point. dogs and then they almost won the game.

So why is everyone so. >> I have no idea. Wow, that was. >> that logo is way too, you know, goopy. It's just no footing out there. >> Yeah, it's very slick. And whenever you. have that much tape on your ankles, once. that starts sliding, it's like the. bottom of a stilt. >> He don't wear cleat either. >> Of course not, cuz he don't wear roll. >> Did he wear New Balances? >> Like the little nubs. >> Yeah. Uh turf shoes. >> He had to pull him out of a trophy case, too, from my understanding. >> I mean, he popped them. >> You're damn right he Yeah, OF COURSE HE. DID. AND [ __ ]. >> You got to remember he's seen this.

defense a thousand times. That's his. juke. That was his juke right there. Not. his slip and fall. >> Rope a dope. >> Uh, all right. Last one here. Last one. from Nick yada yada at Wise Man's Fool. Hey, # I don't want to overreact, but. Lions still have a good road to the. playoffs. Need three wins versus. Steelers. Lowscoring offense. >> Sub 500 Vikings. Bears whom we've. already beaten compared to zero wins in. 2008. This is a parade. Toughen up Lions. newbies. MCDC will duct tape team to the.

victories. Now Foxy, >> yep, >> you like where Nick yada yacht is coming. from or have you kind of given up hope. too when the Rams just literally pound. you guys right into the dirt right down. the middle? >> Um I love absolutely everything about. this tweet. Normal Lions fans know, hey, you got three games left and you can. make the playoffs. We're in a good spot, baby. And guess what might happen? All. right, let's say the Packers beat. Chicago. Boom. We just got to beat. Steelers, Vikings, and then Ben Johnson,

MCDC for the playoffs. Would be an. absolutely epic game. So, that's what. I'm hoping for. That's all Lions fans. are hoping for at this point. >> That'd be a That'd be a football storm. >> Oh, yeah. >> That'd be [clears throat] lightning. And. that'd be awesome. Good, better, best. First, I'll tell you what, Mayor. >> Yeah. >> Wow. in Chicago. Everyone says golf. can't play in the cold. Perfect for us.

>> Caleb can. Caleb. >> Caleb can play in the cold. >> The Lions absolutely embarrassed them. last time. A lot of people were saying. MCDC ran up the score on Ben Johnson. >> MCDC's calling a great game. This. offense is rolling. It's really the. defense just can't stop [ __ ] right now. >> Yeah. And they're right down the middle. of you guys. >> Yeah. I mean, if they're calling. Shadoops in minus5 degree weather, we're. be calling him Goops. If Jared Goff goes.

in there with the season on the line and. lays an egg in 10 degree weather, >> Guplowski see the me up. I can see them. >> Yeah, Jared Goops. >> Uh, threw another pick today. I mean, there's. >> Yeah, exactly. Throw that in there. >> I hope that doesn't happen. I hope we. just have great ball going forward. We. expect that tonight. Let's make our. picks before we get the hell out of. here. AJ Miami traveling to Pittsburgh. going to be 17 degrees tonight. >> Yes, sir. >> It's going to be beautiful football.

weather in Acraure. The lights are going. to be bright. The Yinszers are going to. be in abundance in Tua Tonga leading a. physical Miami Dolphin squad are. three-point underdogs. taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers who. still have everything in front of them. whenever it comes to maybe going on a. Super Bowl. Magical. >> run. AJ, you and I pretty close this. weekend as we saw the field. Uh I was. nine and six. Great to be here. You were. eight and seven. Great to see you.

continuing to see the field. Well, so. Dut, we will start with you to kind of. set the tone, set the trend. You. obviously not with us on Friday, so. you're not a part of the picks graphic, but every Monday, you kind of lead the. way here. Do you like the Steelers. favored by three at home or do you like. your Miami Dolphins with 53% of the. public bets traveling to a very cold. Pittsburgh? >> Yeah, if you just look at the. environment, the time of year, a team. being around over 500. History will tell. you the Dolphins will lose this game,

but it's a brand new Dolphins team since. kind of mid-season since week eight. They're right in the top of the National. Football League when it comes to. deploying six or more offensive linemen, and they've been running the ball down. people's throat. So, I'm going with the. Dolphins to definitely cover. I want to. go actually I'm just going to win. I got. to win on the road. It's a big game for. both ball clubs. I'm going to Miami to. win. >> Debbut says straight up Miami Dolphins. I don't need the three. Let's go to one. half of the hammer down Cowboys. Bubba. Gumpino. Gumpy, your final thoughts as. AJ and I make our picks. >> It's time to saddle up, boys. You got to.

kill the allegations. It's been too. long. You got to win in the [ __ ] cold. and you got to do it on Monday night. Here we go, boys. >> Here we go. >> Dolphins. >> Here we [singing] go. >> Dolphins go to Super Bowl. Here we go. >> That might have been it right there. What you guys just did legit? That in. the microphones on this day might have. been the thing that kind of changed.

everything that happens tonight. Tone, before AJ and I make our picks, how do. you feel about what just happened right. there? How do you feel about Robert. Morris saying, "Yeah, we'll help you. out." How do you feel about Yzers. potentially booing Renegade after the. long day and long night prime time game? And how do you feel about the Miami. Dolphins. >> maybe being a more physical team and you. guys being without TJ Wad at this stage? >> I'm going to take those in order. Okay. Uh I am not surprised that Gumpy and uh. Debbut slid Dolphins in there for going. to the Super Bowl. Um they are not the.

tougher team. Uh you just can't be with. that color. Uh I am worried uh about. some of the injuries for the Steelers. tonight. Both of their uh left tackles. are out. That's right. The starter and. the backup are out. TJ Watt is out. Uh. the best corner is out also as well. tonight for the Steelers. So a little. worried about injuries, but Mike Tman. doesn't lose on Monday Night Football at. home. Steelers don't lose on Monday. Night Football at home. They got the. color rush. They got the gold endzones. Aaron 17 degrees. That's where he likes. to live. >> Ben Rothersburgger in the house in the.

house. In the house in the building's in. the house. Yeah, it's going to be a good. night. >> AJ, with all that being said, from both. parties potentially grabbing the. terrible towel and spitting on it while. singing the song for the Steelers. >> And Bobby Mo is a traitorous school that. you should never go to. [singing]. >> Are Yenszers booing tonight or not? AJ, what do you like? I think if if the.

Dolphins somehow come in there and they. establish that they're the more physical. football team, the Yenszers will. absolutely boo this team out of AAR. So. I think because of that, the Steelers. are going to be heavily highly. motivated, I guess I should say. And I. want the Steelers minus three all night. long. >> All right, I'll do the same. Ladies and. gentlemen, that's overreaction Monday. We appreciate you all so much for. allowing us to do this for a living. We're so thankful that we get a chance. to chat about sports. We're the luckiest. and dumbest humans on earth and the fact. that you support us, we're eternally. grateful for. We'll be back tomorrow. after a big Monday night football match.

up in Pittsburgh. What will the. storylines be? We shall see. The NFL. never stops or sleeps. We appreciate it. for that. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change their. life. We're in this thing together. Team. on me. Team on three. 1 2 3. Goodbye.
