>> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. [music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble the boat the thundome on. [music] this massive overreaction Monday. December 1st 2025. This program begins. now. >> FOOTBALL is magical and the weekend has. so many stories that are captivating the. entire globe. College ball has so much.

drama and controversy and great outcomes. coming out of rivalry weekend, which is. what college football is all about. Just. a few days removed here from the. championships, the conference. championships happening all across the. country. Game day will be live from the. SEC championship down in Atlanta in a. convention center as Alabama and Georgia. will fight for the SEC title. If Alabama. loses there, will that loss be held. against them as you look forward to the. college football playoff? Certainly. going to be a part of the story. Georgia. has certainly been dominant since losing.

to Alabama at home and ending their. 33game home win streak. And then. obviously the Big 10 is number one verse. number two. Indiana hasn't won Big 10. Conference Championship since like 1967. or something. They're undefeated and. they just so happen to be from an hour. and a half south of here. And the Big 10. Championship will be hosted right here. in Indianapolis, Indiana. The IU Hooers. are obviously a fan base that I think is. the biggest in the country. I think they. have the most alumni that are active and. donating or something like that in the.

entire country. Most definitely in the. city of Indianapolis. And the Hooser. basketball team is actually playing at. like 3:30 downtown in Gamebridge. Fieldhouse as like a showcase event. which happens multiple times throughout. the year. And they sell it out every. time because of how many IU fans live. here in Indianapolis. So Indiana is in. the Big 10 championship as the number. two team in the country. undefeated. first time since 1967 in Indianapolis. taking on Ohio State Columbus which is. just 3 hours away and their fans are the. most so Indianapolis in the Big 10.

championship will be outrageous. It. feels like the the vibe will be. immaculate. The stories are obviously in. abundance and championship weekend is. obviously going to be a big determiner. for the college football playoff and. who's going to be in the 12 counting. down to one and then the NFL. Oh, don't. look. No, we got chaos happening. everywhere. >> Mhm. >> Underdogs are fighting and barking. all over the place. And then teams that. we thought maybe were shite a little bit. earlier in the year and maybe found it. and aren't shite. And not only are they. going to be spoilers, are they going to.

sneak their way into the playoffs? And. then tonight we have the Giants and the. Patriots. And the Patriots are already. one of the only two teams with 10 wins. looking to get 11. They're the number. one team in the AFC and Drake May is. going to be bananas. We cannot wait to. talk about it all. We have a packed show. today. the uh toxic tables here at. Boston Connor and at Tai Schmidt con man. going into Monday Night Football. How do. you feel? Now there's there were years. there where the New England Patriots on. Monday Night Football was not something. you guys were looking forward to. No, >> you thought maybe this is going to be an. embarrassment for the Patriots and. obviously there's teams and fan bases.

around the country and around the league. that their team doesn't even get picked. for a Monday Night Football game. Boy, tonight is one another one for you guys. to kind of put on a show. Is that how. the Patriots fan uh people are feeling. about it? >> Yeah, very exciting. Drake May, I mean, anytime you can watch him in prime time, it's great to see everybody to kind of, you know, watch him and say, "Holy hell, that guy is unbelievable." But yeah, kind of the renewal of a hopeful rival. with the Giants. It feels as though May. and Dart might be two quarterbacks of. the future. Jackson Dart coming back.

after getting his bell rung a bit too. many times. And, you know, maybe this is. one of those kind of classic shootouts. that you don't see coming that could. turn into a fantastic game. >> Yeah. in uh Drake May Prime Time in New. England. We got another showcase coming. from their fans. >> Red jerseys as well. Throwback helmet. >> OH, THEY'RE ALWAYS DOING IT right up. there. I hate it. Who's doing a super. duper bell thing? >> Uh the leader of the light, the keeper. of the light. Uh. >> lighter of the lamp. >> The lighter of the lamp. Yes. The uh. >> the one if by land, two if by sea on the.

opposite shore will be. >> bingo. Paul River of the game will be. someone awesome. And I definitely don't. know who it is, but. >> are you overlooking the Giants? You. don't even know who the leader of the. Paul Rivere light is. >> No. No. This is not a Jets Thursday. Night Football situation. This is a. Okay, we we got to take this one very. very seriously. But I'm assuming it's. pro. I mean, why not Donnie Wahberg? Where's Donnie Wahberg? Can we get Can. we get Donnie Wahberg up there? I mean, he he'd probably be perfect. Or just. some other schlub. Not a schlub, but.

where's Bill Burr? Where's Bill Burr? Can we get Billy Burr up? Can we get him. up on the lamp? >> He might be, you know, standing on some. high horse, but still. CAN WE GET. >> RIDE THE HIGH HORSE OVER TO THE bell. tower? Boom. It'll be perfect. >> Yeah, he he's basically Paul River. already for one side. >> What we were doing there is filling for. the people in the back to potentially. look up and find out the right answer. I. guess there's been no announcement OF. EVEN BETTER. YOU KNOW WHO MIGHT BE. THERE. Maybe Kenny Jezy's rolling over. there. Wow. Maybe Kenny's I mean. >> he's gonna say the boys falling the. entire thing. Uh we could only hope for.

Monday Night Football and uh shout out. to your Patriots, man. What a run. What. a year. Congrats to everything. And. obviously tonight, another showcase of. the Mass Holes who are great fan base. Green Bay Packers don't look now. Holy. hell, we're getting hot. Nice little. holiday weekend for you. Iowa demolishes. Nebraska. Willie C ran wild right into. the pooper. That team got crushed by. your Iowa Hawkeyes. And the Green Bay. Packers look like they're a good. football team. Jordan Love goes crazy. It's Toyota thawn. >> Yeah. Bingo. >> We know what that means. >> Exactly. Yeah. No, I mean it was a. fantastic weekend. you know, low stress.

uh starting with on Thursday with the. Packers. Like you mentioned, it's. Toyotthon, so you I mean, you kind of. know what to expect from Jordan Love. But Michael Parsons is just the the gift. that keeps on giving. I mean, this guy. every single week, hey, is he going to. dominate the game? Yeah, he is. You. know, two and a half sacks once again, bunch of run stuffs, and then the cherry. on top cuz after the Packers game, I was. good. I said, hey, you know, whatever. happens in this Nebraska, Iowa game, I'll be okay. Because like I said when. we talked to Will Compton, I don't think. about Nebraska at all. Rightfully so.

Iowa goes into Lincoln, beats the. absolute dog [ __ ] out of him like they. have several times over the last 14. years. Kirk Ference has more victories. in Memorial Stadium than Matt Rule does. So if you're a Nebraska fan, that one's. got to be tough to stomach. And not only. that, you got Matt You got Matt Rule. through 2032. So that's something to. look forward to. So if you're a Nebraska. fan, it's okay. The sun might come out. tomorrow. The sun does shine on the. dog's ass every once in a while. So. yeah, it was great. It was fantastic. holiday weekend. >> Happy Thanksgiving, Tom. >> Happy Thanksgiving. >> Happy Thanksgiving. Coach R did not.

deserve that. Okay, he's got a lot of. hurt players. There's a lot of rooms. going around who's leaving now. One half. OF THE HAMMER. D Cowboys AP Tone. You. look fantastic. We will talk to you a. lot here momentarily. Nine-year NFL vet. Darius Jay Butler. >> Debb, we appreciate the hell out of you. You know, Dut Mondays big days. >> Oh yeah. >> Lot to talk about. >> Yeah, >> it is the biggest. >> the biggest. >> big X deploy. It is the biggest day because there's so. much to talk about. There's so much to. overreact to in these Mondays of this. particular season. We've been trying to. put together like a scripted play.

>> You know what I mean? We've been trying. to like do this thing how everybody else. does it. There's so many things to talk. about. Let's go ahead and zero in on. Favville. You remember we started doing. this? >> We've continued to do this. >> Yeah. I think you know what we going. into week 14 about to wrap up week 13. I. think we can I think we can get better. >> Postseason form damn near. But also on. the flip side of that, I'm pretty proud. that we're still doing it. True. >> This felt like something early that we. were going to get sick of and. [clears throat] we just have continued. to power through. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the first 15 driven by.

Ram. >> Here we go. [applause]. >> You know, whenever you hit the gas pedal. on a Ram truck, you're going to hear. [laughter]. >> And that's what we're about to do. through the top five headlines coming. out of week 13's NFL Sunday, Saturday football, Friday, Thursday, you. get it. Put the clock down, please. Let's get started. Number five headline. The jig is up. The booze are out. They. finally had it. The ran again. [screaming].

>> What was that all about, boys? Oh. >> Mhm. >> YEAH, IT HAPPENED. RUN IT, FOXY. THEY'RE. BOOING RENEGADE IN PITTSBURGH. OH NO, this guy's choking almost dying. IT WAS. COLD. SAD. >> OH MAMA, I'm in fear for the Steelers.

there booing their ass at home. I mean. that's happening in Pittsburgh. That's a. time tradition. Renegade plays. The. entire city goes crazy. Babies at. McGee's Women's Hospital where I was. born over there in Oakland ARE STANDING. UP IN THEIR LITTLE THINGS DOING THE DAY. OH MAMA, THAT IS WHAT PITTSBURGH'S. ABOUT. THAT MOMENT highlights of the. defense just demolishing people. It has. been symbolic of what the Pittsburgh. Steelers are. Steelers fans. for the third time this season playing. good teams.

are now losing by double scores, double. digits. And they had the lead at the. halftime of all of them. Okay, so these. Yinszers are going to these games. Some. of these things ending real late. Last. night, obviously freezing cold. You saw. how cold every Yinszer was in the crowd. They have the lead at halftime in all of. them. Seahawks 14-7. Remember that day? That was a long time ago. That was. whatever we were talking about. Maybe. the Seahawks. Yep. Maybe the Seahawks, by the way. And then Green Bay Packers, they were down seven to 16. 16-7. The. Steelers are up. Green Bay Packers go on.

win by two scores. And then uh. Pittsburgh Steelers 73 at half. [screaming]. 73. >> Three points. >> This is good. Yeah, he's good. Pittsburgh Josh Allen. This guy's ass. First play of the second half, Bosa. says, "Hey, Aaron, don't break your. nose." [laughter] Bang. STRIP SACK HAVE. THE WHOLE THING. GAME CHANGES. COMPLETELY. Pittsburgh Steelers fans are. sitting there wondering what the hell. were we thinking when we bought into. this team winning the Super Bowl this. year. That is what yers are thinking. That is what Pittsburgh Steelers. faithful are feeling. And when Renegades. getting its ass booed, that's obviously.

problematic. And then you go to the end. of the game. Pittsburgh Steelers fans are very good. at doing things. >> and that is unified chance calling for. somebody's ass to not be around anymore. >> Hey to him on the last night. >> Oh no. [cheering]. Wa. >> This is not good. We are from. Pittsburgh. We've experienced this. before. Our show has actually been a.

vehicle for Yenszers to get their points. across to the Pittsburgh Steelers. ownership in the Rooney family Canada. back Canada. They were chanting fire. Canada in Utah. >> on the capital in DC at Pittsburgh. Penguins games. Once you at JMU they. were chanting it 20,000 plus were. chanting it. Whenever Yinszers find. something that they're all unified upon. and they've given up, they're going to. let that be heard a lot. This chant. started there. And I appreciated Mike. Tomlin's response. Mike Tomlin say, "Hey, listen. I share their frustration.

Tonight was tough to watch." It's like, I I appreciate Tomlin's answer, Coach. Tomlin's answer. Coach Tomlin is. obviously an incredible speaker and a. good leader, which is why he's been who. he is, but boy, Pittsburgh seems to be. completely fed up with them right now. And uh I heard some things said earlier. on the show uh on Get Up uh I'm Yeah, first take Stephen A. He was talking. about how any other. >> nine years no playoff win, you'd be. gone. especially in a city like. Pittsburgh which is such a football.

town. I think that was a very valid. point that he made. Now he did talk. about Con the Con are the GM and he said. there was no moves made. Actually there. was a bunch of moves made which is why. this year felt a little bit different at. the beginning. Tone I don't want to say. you speak for all of Pittsburgh but I do. think you are a good representation of. how Steelers fans could potentially feel. about the team being that they are a you. are a diehard of the squad. What are. your thoughts? And why do you think it's. a boiling point at this? Because it. feels like this been lingering for what, four or five years. Yes. And then now. it's like we're done showing up for you. guys and get your ass kicked and don't.

even play Renegade. Is that what they're. thinking? >> Yeah. Last night was the tip of the. spear, the boiling point is, if you. will. Um, everyone there it's been it's. been split about, you know, the the. coaching staff changes, stuff like that, but everyone is now on the same page. I. got a lot of texts last night and this. morning, hey, you okay? Yeah. Yeah, [laughter] I am. Like because this is. everyone's on the same page now, okay? We can't have this anymore. Nine years. without a playoff win is absurd. Three. playoff wins in the last 13 years is.

absurd. Yeah, they got 21 straight. seasons without a losing season. That's. really good, but it's not good enough. when you're not winning playoff games. >> Put on shirt. >> You could put it on shirt and you could. say it and the national media can be. like, "Yeah, if if this guy gets fired, he's going to have a job the next day.". Which might be right. And Mike Clemen is. a great coach. He's a Hall of Fame. coach, but sometimes the voice just it. it runs dry in in the locker room. I. don't know. Everyone no one's on the. same page. Aaron is talking about people. not showing up for meetings and film and. stuff like that. TJ's talking about.

literally the same play that they've run. over and over and over for the Bills and. they couldn't stop at once. Julian. Edelman has come out and said that they. know exactly what plays are going to be. run against Steelers defense. Jamar. Chase has done the exact same thing. It. just got to a point. I think it's got to. the point with the fan base and the city. that it just this is just this is not. the Pittsburgh Steelers. You you watch. the product and it looks nothing like. them. The fans are are done with it. Everyone is is done with it. We've all. had enough. >> D But how do you think the Pittsburgh. Steelers locker room feels? Cam Hayward. obviously said he got need in his.

stomach and he didn't like how. disrespected he was. He also probably. didn't love that they did run the same. duo play basically with James Cook and. had the same outcome every single time. crack seal. >> Five in a row though. >> He's out. Yeah. There's five straight. players through the same thing and they. were all very successful. Yes. This has. been something that I think a lot of. Steelers fans have kind of been talking. about with the defensive side of the. ball which Mike Tomlin came from. It's. like the defense is terrible and there's. no adjustments and whenever they talk. about being predictable and you got the. players on the field know that is that. kind of like if I remember and you would.

have to correct me you would be the. person to correct me here. Legion of. boom they played like the same [ __ ]. right? But you had to beat them. That. that was kind of the case. Is that what. the Steelers mindset is too? And has it. always been that way or why do you think. the Steelers are where they are? And how. do you think the players feel with all. the outside noise about maybe this being. the final time of the Tomlin? >> Yeah, I feel like we've heard a ton of. people, whether it be players or coaches. talk about in a positive light how, hey, these are the same blitzes. These are. the same this, the same that. The Legion. of Boom, they did their thing. When the. Broncos went on their run, you know. that, hey, you just had to beat man.

coverage. Everybody kind of has their. own staples and they just get good at. what they're good at. Now, in this. league, everything changes week to week. But if you look at these plays, these. aren't like dynamic Ben Johnson type run. plays or a bunch of moving parts. This. is just lining up and running the ball. down your throat. And that is the. complete opposite of what you think. about when you think about the. Pittsburgh Steelers. You think about. toughness. You think about physicality. Whether that's on the offensive or. defensive side of the ball, if you think. about all the Pittsburgh greats, that's. the first thing that kind of comes to.

your mind. Whether it's a a guy in the. middle or Jerome Bettis or one of these. big physical guys like that's what you. think they renegade like I still got. PTSD from that [ __ ] been on the opponent. when that [ __ ] comes on you know okay. some bullshit's about to come a strip. sack a pig sick something so to see. seven fans waving their tile when they. go live with that that was disheartening. it's Monday tone didn't even put a. Steelers helmet back on the desk uh that. we both uh go back and forth throwing I. feel bummed out about him but yeah it's. tough and I'm I know Tone's getting a.

lot more than I am. But I'm getting more. more messages saying I don't I don't. like people being out on Mike T. They. threw the graphic up about the three. franchise. I forget which three it was. I think Patriots was one of them or 20. plus years of not having a losing. record. That is impressive. Good. graphic. >> It was a great graphic, but um sitting. here Monday that team, that fan base, you almost you got to be embarrassed to. be a highest paid defense on the field. and those are guys TJ Watt, Cam Hayward, Jaylen Ramsey, Patrick, like these are. notable like Hall of Fame type names. So, for them to be sitting in this.

Monday watching these same plays that. we're watching, I I it's it's tough. It's going to be a tough meeting room. for sure. >> And it's tough cuz the fan base grew up. on like the rush defense. And we talked. about it last year when Dererick Henry. ran for 475 yards in the playoffs game. or whatever. We grew up they have the. record there was 32 consecutive games. where they didn't they didn't allow a. 100 yard rusher. 32 consecutive. And now. it's almost every single game that. there's a 100 yard rusher. And that's. just not who we are. >> It's crazy. >> Right there. We got 90 rush yards 17 in. third quarter. stat just popped up while. you're talking about it. And uh here's.

some more stats that aren't good for the. Steelers. Hembo cooked these things up. Plus 16. >> is the margin of first downs between the. Bills and the Steelers. Plus 31 plays. there. The defense was out there a lot. Boys were tired. 74 plays for the Bills. 43 time of possession. Sweet. And then. that rush yards one there. >> Plus 191. The worst rushing margin for. Pittsburgh in a home game since 1955. The fact that it's all happening in. Pittsburgh.

>> Yes. >> And the enzers are spending their life. watching it. >> That makes it exponentially worse. because not only is it these Yenszers. and Coach Tomlin knows that he's lived. there for so long, 20 years, whatever. the case, 18 years, so he understands it. just as much. Those are going home and. they're talking to the neighbors. Okay. >> Yeah. >> The neighbors are saying Sue went down. there. Do you see what they did second half? They just let him just run right over. James Cooks same exact that's worma. doesn't know [ __ ] and then they go to. the next neighbor and then they go to.

the next person they run into then all. of a sudden the entire neighborhood. feels the exact same way and it's like. all you need is just a couple terrible. experiences back to back to back and. it's happened all year with them I think. you can re theers are a group that will. kill for you actually like we'll. actually do that for you and on the flip. side we're done with you need need you. need you go ahead and take a walk here I. think they've always been that way will. always be that way. And I think right. now is the loudest that I've heard it as. somebody I feel like has kind of tapped.

into the city of Pittsburgh and how they. feel on things. There's always been a. group that has been sick of the winning. season [ __ ] Sick of it. Sick of it. Sick of it. Sick of it. We get a. terrible draft pick. Great winning. season. Let's get pick number 17. Let's. get pick number 18. We can't really get. anybody. Oh, we're not going to trade. for anybody. Of course, we're not. Oh, we're not going to move up. So, we're. going to get another mediocre player to. add to our above average team and then. we're going to steal some games and. we're going to have a good time and. we're going to renegade this thing.

That's cool. That that there was a group. of people that were like that like 5. years ago, four years into the lack of. winning. I think that that started to it. feels now that it is at the the biggest. and most unified that it has been in the. city of Pittsburgh. The Rooney family. has to. >> You would think so. You would think so. And a lot of people are really really. mad at ownership as well. Um. >> but you could trade coach Tommen, right? Wouldn't that be a thing? >> Now, there was a report that what a an. old Sorry, I don't know who reported it. I apologize. I saw the headline. Uh. there's potential coach conversation, fresh new start things.

>> Jake Wazer. football. >> Yeah, someone reported that there's an. elder coach in the league who might be. looking for change. But anyways, >> Baltimore and Pittsburgh are tied. currently for the lead in the AFC North. And I every friend fan that I've talked. to is like, I wish we just would lose. out if it means change rather than like, hey, we're in the division fight. Who? Nobody cares about that anymore. >> That's a shame. >> Yeah, it's wild. >> Hey, they can go on a run though, boys. That's right. Hey, good luck. Just start. going to meetings. >> Yeah, [applause]. >> start going to meet. No, you need to go. in and not out whenever I say h.

>> I thought he said he he was at the. meeting. That's what I thought I heard. I know they were on the wrong page as. far as with the check, but I thought he. said everybody shows up to the meetings. Hm. >> Oh, you're saying the way he delivered. it was not condescendingly asking if. everybody would start showing up to the. meetings. You're saying he was saying. everybody show up to the meetings. They. just don't understand what the checks. are. >> Yeah. And we we've had conversations for. years about, you know, how Aaron Rogers. always changes. And Payton, Drew Brees,

Brady, like those are always moving. parts. But, uh, maybe I misheard it. >> Run it. >> When there's film sessions, everybody shows up. And when I check to. a route, >> how do you fix it? He's. >> do the right route, you know, like uh. John and I just weren't on the same. page. I checked to his inbreaker and he. ran out breaker. Um. >> you know, John is a true professional, so I'm sure he's,

>> you know, he's sick sick about that. But. um you know, I threw a ball I thought. was going to get hit by the wind and it. was four yards over Roman. So, I got to. make that throw. Um, but you know, we have our meetings every. week. We have other opportunities. outside of the facility and look forward. to seeing all the boys there. >> All right. >> Okay. So, he was asked how he fixed the. chemistry. He said, "Well, when there's. meetings, everybody shows up.". Interesting dynamic. [laughter] That is.

>> He does look cool though. >> with the broken thumb. >> Yeah. Just he looks like a Pittsburgh. still the quarterback. >> Him get I thought he was. >> six and six. I thought he was done with. that wrist. Three fractures the whole. thing. He goes lands on his face. Everything's bust. I assumed he hurt. this one again. I assumed he somehow. hurt this one again or whatever the case. is. Then he comes back bandaged up. thing. Still taking the thing off by the. way between everyone. He is and I think. nobody talks about it. He is old school. tough guy quarterback.

>> Oh yeah. >> That is how he views the position. Have. to. He even likes taking hits. I think. like that is a part of the entire thing. And he's been very anti any of the. rules. So him bouncing back as a 40 plus. year old after having Bosa explode. through his back and then dump him on. his face and then the worst possible. outcome happened. I mean that shows a. lot of grit. >> It does. >> And uh Pittsburgh Steelers fans. appreciate the grit. Need to get some. wins. We're done with it. All right, let's go to number four headline from. the NFL Sundays today. 10. Two teams with 10 wins. That's.

incredible. And they're both in the AFC. con man. the Denver Broncos who were. almost everybody's kind of Lombardi. babies coming into this particular. season with that defense everybody. returning they might have the best. defensive player on earth and Certan. well he wasn't even playing for a while. they were winning he was back doing a. whole strap up on everybody they're. fantastic and Bo Nicks and Shawn. Payeyton seemingly get the job done. whenever they have to a lot of close. games lot of close games the stats. coming out about them being in close. games one score games I think they have. the most uh one-score dubs they have the.

most three points or fewer wins they. have the most this point like they are. the close game kings right now. Is that. because their defense is so dominant and. gets great stops at the right time? Is. it because Bo Nick, Shawn Peyton, and. the boys on the offensive side are so. resilient and kind of mentally tough? They're able to get the job done. Who. cares? They got 10 wins. The other team, Patriots tonight, taking on the Giants. looking for number 11. Both in the AFC. What does that tell you, uh, Con Man? >> Uh, it really just tells you that the. top is very, uh, topheavy if if you. will. You know, the Broncos, yes,

they're close games, but they win. I. mean, at the end of the day, that's all. that matters. Bo Nicks, he's coming. alive. I mean, he beats the Chiefs, goes. on the buy, and then he throws for 320. on Monday Night Football. And yes, it's. the Commanders. You can say, well, they. shouldn't be barely beating the. Commanders in overtime. Marcus Mariota. is a hell of a quarterback. I mean, we. saw that last night. He led them down. when he needed to. They had a third and. 15 maybe, and they somehow got the first. down. Terry McLaren being back for them. is massive. That's a fourth and goal. Absolute dot if you watch the replay,

too. almost gets to flighted. Perfect. rub route. They almost have it here, but. Nick Bonito uh nope, that's a touchdown. Then Nick Bonito uh two-point. conversion. He stops. And this is. exactly why the Broncos are going to be. in it at the end. You know, we talk. about the 10 wins and Bo Knicks and. people want to throw shade on him and. stuff. Their defense is good enough to. win them a Super Bowl. I mean, Bonito. and Cooper off the edge, Moss and. Certain in the back end. And then Alex. Singleton, probably one of the better. linebacker plays from the weekend was.

Alex Singleton hauling ass back to break. up a middle shot down the to Zack Herz. down the middle. I believe it was a. third and 10. But they're fantastic. And. their O line, like that's the biggest. thing for me. Like their O line is so. solid. They can run the ball and beat. you. They can pass, block, and beat you. It's one of those things that they're a. team that can beat you in any way on the. offense and defensive side. 10 and two, nine straight victories. Uh there was a. stat Bo Knicks, Drake May, and Caleb.

Williams from that draft class for in. the last nine weeks are a combined 26. and one, which is ridiculous. But I. mean, then then tonight with Drake May, I mean, it's one of those things where. you kind of get to see the future in. prime time. We had it last night and now. we have it again. And the Patriots. looking to become the first team with 11. wins on the season there without their. starting left tackle Will Campbell and. starting left guard Jared Wilson. So. that will be the matchup to watch. You. know, Brian Burns off the edge. Tibido. out for the Giants, which is big. But.

Dexter Lawrence in the middle two. It's. going to be a hell of a game. It's. incredible to see that the young AFC. teams are having this much success. Twoame lead in the one and two seeds. But it it's just amazing to be one of. those teams there. >> Yeah. You talk about the young. quarterbacks, too. Bo Nick's obviously. been in the same system here for a. couple years. Uh Caleb and Drake, new. systems here, so they're only going to. go up and to the right. The Young Boys. are certainly playing Bears obviously in. the NFC. [laughter]. >> WOW. >> WOW. THEY are for real. But the AFC, the. two 10- win teams looking for 11.

obviously have been dominant throughout. Let's go to the number three headline. coming out of week 13 Sunday slate. Oh, big catches. Bad days. >> Yeah, bad days. No like uh Ah, yeah. bad. days. [laughter] These guys take L's but. have highlight reel catches. So, you. can't even really talk about it. You. can't even celebrate it. If you get a. pick and you have a dance, if your team. loses, we don't care that you practice. the dance and people don't care. >> Can't even post it. >> H. >> No, I'm saying you can't even like post.

it. >> Exactly. Shouldn't that just read the. room a little bit. But on that note, there were some guys that had highlight. real catches, but their teams lost, so. we can't talk about it. Chiefs, are they. okay? I don't know. HOLLYWOOD'S GOT THE. TOUCHDOWN IN JERRY WORLD. Congrats to. the Dallas Cowboys, by the way. They got. to be absolutely pumped. And the Chiefs, who are they? What are they? We don't. know. After they beat the Colts thought, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The. phone. They might be all the way back. Then they lose the Cowboys. It's like, are the Cowboys the best football team. in the NFL? The Chiefs still have it? We.

shall see. Indianapolis Colts on a. twoame slide. Don't love it. Uh maybe. talk to CJ Stout here later today. Uh. Alec Pierce, absolute weapon and a dog. has become much better for the. Indianapolis Colts this year on being a. deep threat. A lot of moxy. I assume. somebody's going to pay for him in a. huge, huge way. And then let's talk. about Burks. Burks, baby. Number 13 IN. THE CORNER. MARCUS MARY GO. GIVE HIM A. SHOT [screaming]. ONE-HANDED. HOW YOU DOING? NOW, PEOPLE. SAID HE was a bust debut and now he's. got Mary Gota throwing them absolute.

mosses over Marses. >> Unbelievable catch. I mean, Riley Moss, that's is that's as good as coverage you. can have on that type of play. You just. got to look at your coach, look at the. sideline, say, "Hey, they get paid, too." Phenomenal catch on prime time. You know, reminisces of uh OBJ on Sunday. night. >> I saw the 13 for 13 week from OBJ. And. uh congrats to the Broncos get a big. time win. Once again, these are all. losing teams. All these highlights. Speaking of Chargers do their thing, THAT ARE RAIDERS. BROCK BOWERS. >> TOO BIG, too athletic, too absurd. It's. an ode the mentalist type mindblower.

here. That thing should hit the ground. Great coverage yet again by the. Chargers. Brock Bower is doing special. stuff since the day he stepped onto a. football field. I'd assume Darius B. >> Yeah, that's unbelievable. Once again, there's nothing more you can do as a. defender. Uh, good throw by actually I. can't even say good throw cuz the back. shoulder. You're putting it in a place. where only your guy can get it. Just a. phenomenal effort by Brock Bars. >> And then friend of the program tooken. hell. Hey, Carolina Panthers good. football team. Carolina Panthers are. good football teams. You know who's a. GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER? PUKA.

>> GIVE ME THAT. THAT'S VERY reminiscent of. the Odell Beckham Jr. reach one-handed. snag as well. Having to battle off a. hand in there and then bring it in and. cradle to the body with the control to. be able to keep it off the turf. That's. an incredible catch by Puka Nakua who. might be the next one. Honestly, he. might be the next one and whenever it. comes down to it 2, three years from. now, >> unguardable. Matt Sturf, obviously he. had a couple uh turnovers this game, but. this is one of those situations where, hey, my guys out there, I'm going to. throw it up, give him a chance to make a. play. He went up there and made a play. and this was a point in the game where.

you thought, okay, Rams are figuring it. out. They may come back and win it. But. uh like you said, the Panthers are a. very good football team. >> Are we sure Puka is the same player. though? Cuz he ran out of bounds. yesterday. >> People are sending me a couple tweets. about that. People saying he was broke. He broke a tackle. Little off balance, full speed. Couple guys here, steps out. of bounds. Then he comes back in though. I think he maybe just lost track, lost. his balance. But there was people saying. Puka Nico ran out of balance. If he did. run out of bounds, Puka, I'd like to let. you know, yes, more of that. [laughter]. Some more of that. We don't need to pick. up an extra 3 ft when we already got 17.

or 20, brother. Okay. and uh if it's. going to save it, let's do that. Now, let's go to number two headline coming. out of the weekend. The dogs were. barking. [laughter]. Ron Breaker gets a big win last night. with division as well or Saturday night. obviously in Survivor Series. The dogs. were barking there in San Diego at Petco. Park, but also first 11 games of this. week, the underdogs were 9 and2, okay, against the spread. Obviously, that. would change as the favorites will go on. to start winning down the stretch, but. throughout Thanksgiving and obviously.

the Black Friday game, it was underdog. city. Why do you think that's the case, Dud? Do you think whenever we're. celebrating a holiday and the entire. world is watching, there's a turd. ducking online, a pile on uh honoring. Mr. Madden and everybody's going to be. talking about it. Do you think it kind. of you can wipe out the record books, you can wipe out the matchups, it's. going to be a battle? Why do you think. underdogs had such a big time on the. holiday? I don't know if it was one. thing in particular. I feel like we. always have that week or those couple. weeks where the dogs just get the. barking. This was definitely one of.

those weeks. Now, the short, you know, the Thanksgiving and the and the Black. Friday games, we always know. You can. kind of throw Yeah. throw everything out. the window, you never know what's going. to happen in those type of games. Uh but. it's any given Sunday in this league. I. think this year is showing the the NFL. when it comes to parody like we're right. up there with any other league. >> Absolutely. Here's the quote from or the. stat from Hembo actually. Uh overall, seven underdogs won outright in week 13. thus far. Second most in any week this. season. Uh all four underdogs on. Thanksgiving and Black Friday won. outright. Carolina one is a nine and a. half point underdog. It's second.

largest. They were 13 and a half a. couple weeks ago. Football team. >> They're a good football team, man. They. could surprise some folks. >> Panthers are the uh only team to win. games when they are more than a 10-point. favorite. I think at one point they were. or 10-point underdog. I think at one. point they were 10-point dogs. Every. other team is 0 and4. Panthers are two. and0. Yeah, the Panthers surprise folks. >> I guess it would be the Gumblers that. they're surprising because the sports. books wouldn't be scoring it if they. didn't think the Gamblers would be doing. what they're doing. I don't think a lot. of people paying attention to the. Panthers. They're kind of turning that.

thing around and they're for real. And. if you give Bryce Young some time and. ability to operate, he's able to do his. thing. And on defensive side, they're. seemingly hungry, hungry hippos out. there. Turning Stafford over is a big. deal, especially with the season he's. having right now. >> Yeah, Derek Brown up front, he he. doesn't get talked about a bunch, but. he's one of the best interior defensive. linemen in the league. uh on the back. end. Mike Jackson, he showed out. He. bowled out with the pick six. It's been. however long now that Matt Stafford. hasn't thrown a pick six. That's kind of. used to be Matt Stafford's thing. If if. it was bad Stafford, it would be some. fumbles which he had late in the game.

and some pick sixes. Mike Jackson. sitting on that route. I think Shawn. McVey kind of took off from the ship and. said, "Hey, you know, I wish I had gave. him a better play." But the most. impressive uh win from the Dogs, I would. say for me was that Bears win. Like we. talked about the Bills running the ball. down the throat against the Pittsburgh. Steelers. like they ran down the. Philadelphia Eagles throw two backs over. 125 yards just to that right right down. the middle. You watching the plays, you. see the replays, you see all the. movement and it's even though they're. simple, you know, run run game and run.

plays, all of the movement, all that eye. candy for defensive backs and. linebackers. It's tough to be in the. right spot, being in the right place. So, Caleb Williams, I don't think, is. even close to where he needs to be yet. in the passing game uh aspect of it. But. when they can run the ball like this and. play defense, this Bears team, they're. sitting number one in the NFC for a. reason right now. >> 281 rush yards for the Chicago Bears and. jacked Ben Johnson. That's the most vers. under a Nick Serriani le team. Obviously, they had 200 yard rushers, Manungai and Swift. And 17 first downs,

which is the most by any team this. season. So, Chicago Bears kind of did. their thing to the Philadelphia Eagles. And you got a lot of Eagles fans going, we we the tush push. We failed. I mean, we couldn't even do the tush. This isn't. what we are. This isn't what we are. This isn't who we're going to be and we. got to figure some things out over. there. I don't know how they do it. >> AJ Bro had a good game. >> They did ball a lot. Two touchs and that. might be the strategy when you're. playing against the Eagles. Let's have. AJ Brown eat and just stop the run. Uh. the Caleb Williams roll left touchdown. to Cole KT was so nasty.

>> He's a guy. >> He is very very like we talked about the. Caleb [ __ ] like this is filthy. >> in a bucket. Yeah. >> Are you kidding? >> Fade away running backwards cross body. and that's Paul K like That is bad. >> Cole Coulson Lovelin hasn't even really. gotten going yet for the offense. He had. a two touchdown game already, but still. like if if he continues to go, the Bears. are tremendously scared. >> And Ben Johnson jacked. >> jacked absolutely jacked. I I love. seeing that. Free wieners for the city, I do believe, because he went tarpless.

in the locker room. Somebody Wiener. Circle, I believe. I I don't remember. the name of the place. They're giving. off free dogs for the city if Ben. Johnson was to go shirtless. And he. said, "Give me one more week. Give me. two more weeks." I think you've been. hitting it a little bit harder. Absolutely, Jack. And I'll tell you. what, every time you look in a locker. room or you see anything miked up, what. I try to see is uh these people like. each other. You know, obviously you're. going to get good quotes, but my eyes. always tend to go to like how do these. people feel about each other? You can. kind of pick up little tails because. they're always going to edit the micdike. ups only give you what you they want you. to hear. You're not really going to get.

much [ __ ] But what you can see is how. they interact. You know, there's brief. moments of interaction. It's like, okay, they seem like they like each other. Oh, I don't think they like that guy. You. you can get that out of my cup. Ben. Johnson, >> boys love him. >> Good, better, best. Never let it rest. till good is better and better is best. And then bear on me. They have a whole. thing everybody's in. And if he has that. culture set up, >> his culture is a winning culture, right? Don't we all agree in football? Oh yeah. >> The culture that Ben Johnson has. established, >> we're going to be powerful. We're going.

to pound them. We're going to play great. defense. And also, we're going to be. smarter on offense and design people to. be wide ass open. Oh yeah. And we got. Caleb Williams who's a super talent. It's like if the culture has been. instilled, there's like no stopping this. train, right? Ain't that kind of like. the biggest thing? Can he get his. culture in? Can he get his culture in? Oh, he lost the locker room. That's what. happens when somebody can't get their. culture in. Ben Johnson is a hard ass, allegedly accountability driven, and. he's got his culture in play already. And it's very obvious whenever you see. all the miked ups and the cameras behind. the scenes. >> Yeah. And you got to get results, too, especially in in the in the Big Boy.

league, National Football League, you. have to get results. And that's how you. get the real buy in from the vets and. the young guys cuz we we've seen coaches. go to certain places and try to be a. hard ass and it not work. And I think. mainly because it doesn't have the. results. So getting these results and it. shows you, man, whatever it takes, >> go and get your coach. Like it matter. Coaching matters. Go and get your coach. Obviously, you have to have a. quarterback as well, but go and get your. coach. Collegiate level, professional. level. Go and get your guy. Whatever it. takes. Whatever [ __ ] comes with it,

it'll be all right. cuz those vibes in. that locker room like that that is just. completely different of anything we've. seen from the Bears since you know they. went to the Super Bowl in Miami in ' 06. with Gman running the show but uh yeah. go and get your head coach get your. quarterback and it shows a lot that Ben. Johnson obviously chose to go to Chicago. pair with Caleb Williams and now like. these these guys man those are the vibes. you that's what you miss that's the type. of [ __ ] you miss as a former player. being in the locker room that feeling. after a game when all you know everybody. was picking the Eagles you thought okay. Eagles going to figure it out. They gave.

up nine points, seven points, and then. to go in there and run the ball down. their throat like that against a. physical ball club like that is it's. nothing better. >> Special, man. >> And and to Debb's point, like go and get. your coach. And I mean, Tony, the the. only team the Steelers currently look to. as far as moving on from a legendary. coach would be the the Patriots. And you. can go back to the Andy Reed Eagles, sure, if you want to, but in recent. memory, the Patriots, the Patriots made. the decision to move on from Bill and. then doubled down on their decision by. firing Gerro Mayo after the first year. Like sometimes you get the wrong guy,

but when your right guy comes available. to de Debut's point like Vable, like you. just have to make that decision. It. takes a lot of balls from from the. owners and a lot lot of gut sack to do. that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Because you're making a big you're. changing the trajectory of everything. >> and if that culture, you know, stinks. right away and then you go to another. culture. >> Oh, is the grass greener? >> Yeah. Exact. Yeah. Well, and you know, like Ben Johnson deserves the all of the. credit obviously, but him bringing in. Dennis Allen to be with DC, having a guy. who has been a head coach before because.

every week going into these games, all. we hear about is how banged up the Bears. defense is and they go out and they do. the same thing every week. They they. turn the other team over multiple times. and there's no excuses. So, him having. the wherewithal to be like, yes, I will. have the offense, you know, humming on. all cylinders and ready to go, but I. also need to get a guy who knows what. the hell he's doing on defense and. getting a guy who's been a head coach. before. Like, that was a massive move as. well. >> I agree. Congrats to everybody uh that. was an underdog and had a great holiday. We uh very much love that. It showcases.

that our league anything can happen on. any given field. And Sean McVey was. asked about those Panthers. Did you guys. not respect them? And he he basically. said Carolina Panthers good football. team. That's basically what he said. It's the NFL. Everybody's good. You. know, there's a couple ball bounces this. way. I wish I would have given a better. play. What he wanted to say was, >> "Hey, >> let's go.". >> Carolina Panthers are a football team to. a football team. >> Yeah. Bryce Young, youngest quarterback. to 11 game-winning drives was the stat. yesterday for him as well. >> All righty. Yeah. All right. Congrats to.

them. That seemed like a loss. >> From top. >> Yep. >> Oh my god. >> All the way to the bottom of the. stadium. Even their fake AI thing, the. Panther that they had was the worst one. of all time. >> No, I liked it. I like it was cool, but. you really couldn't tell. Um, >> it was a gift. It was a gift. They just. put on jumbotron. What are you talking. about? >> Similar. >> They say, "Look to your right. IT'S IN. THE STANDS." NO, it's not. >> That was the thing. It was only, you. know, thousand people in the States. >> It was sick. Okay. Don't Let's not act.

like you didn't pull that up. Go make me. one of those. >> THAT'S A DIFFERENT TIME. WE CAN'T WE. CAN'T. THAT'S RELATIVE. UH but to to. Lions reversing the curse with uh. Daniels and Manning with doing the. whiskey thing kind of you could make the. argument with Ter opening the stadium. for the uh. >> hurricane relief with uh Luke Combmes, Eric Church, Caleb um I forget who else. was all down. Chase Rice. >> Chase Rice. >> sold out stadium and he can have it. And. also here's donation on top of it and. also this on top of it. It's like wait a. minute. >> did the Grinch's heart grow three. flipped the whole thing.

>> Remember when he was going into. restaurants like hey take that sign down. right now. I ain't firing anybody. >> Smack the guy's hat off his head. [laughter]. >> And then he had his ice. >> Yeah, the ice on the fan. >> I AIN'T DOING THIS. GET the hell out of. my face. >> Menace. >> And he was a menace. [laughter] He was. an absolute menace. >> And then he opened up the stage. >> And then he said, "You know what? Gez, I. got to step back a little [laughter]. bit." And he, hey, everything he's ever. done, he's had success. >> So it seems like that's happening right. now. Number one story line. Hey, listen. [laughter] Dave Cath, it just means.

more. Mhm. >> Now, everybody understands that going. into the year that the AFC South is a. juggernaut. The AFC South has Mount. Rushmore of teams basically. Hey, how. many teams are in there? Four. Where. would they go? Rushmore. All of them. Titans a little problematic. Okay. They. got to figure it out. >> Maybe worst team ever. >> could potentially be. They are exactly. what we were just saying about the. Carolina Panthers. And there's been some. other teams that have been in this. position since our Texans at one point. were in this position. Whatever way. you're kind of doing. Yep. They're. seemingly heading that way. potentially,

but they got Tom Brady there, so we. assume that he will figure it out and. everything like that. But the Tennessee. Titans got a lot to figure out. Cam. Ward, I think, has all the talent in the. world. If he put nothing around him, will he ever be able to accomplish. anything? We have no idea, but the. people of Nashville are great football. people. So, like hopefully that'll come. together because Nashville and football. being great would be fantastic and has. been fantastic, but they fireball now. maybe coach of the year with New. England. Lady doesn't even show up at. the firing of the thing. I mean, there's. just a lot with them being bad. Jaguars. though, don't look now. Liam Cohen's got. them rolling.

Demo Ryan's Houston Texans. Well, they. just get a huge win in the division. football team. They get a huge win in. the division in a difficult place to. play. Now, the AFC South though, everybody has to still play everybody. Okay. Colts still have to play. Jacksonville Jaguars twice. We have to. play Houston Texans one more time. Every. divisional game for the Indianapolis. Colts has come in the final quarter. basically of the NFL season. Remember. when we were the hottest team in the. NFL? I do. >> YEAH. THERE WAS NO DIVISION GAMES THEN. ALL THE DIVISION GAMES are right now.

AND GUESS WHAT? OUR QUARTERBACK HAS A. FRACTURED FIBULA, WHICH I DIDN'T EVEN. KNOW WHAT THE [ __ ] IT WAS. AND I LOOKED. IT UP. THAT THING'S RIGHT HERE. THAT'S A. VERY THAT'S A VERY VITAL ONE. YOU [laughter]. CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. SAW HIM ON INJURY. REPORT. WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA. What's going on here? What's going on here? Nothing. No. All. good. Okay, it'll be good. He's still. playing. See him on injury report again. >> It's all good. What's going on here? Nothing. Nothing's.

going on. Then I see a video from Romeo. Boyd. He's doing. >> Yeah, Big Ben. He can't even move. Put. him in a boot. >> What's he doing? >> He's all right. He broke his leg. He'll. be fine. >> Well, at least you have AR as backup, right? Oh, no. >> AR himself warming up. >> Yeah. Well, at least non-division games. are the Seahawks and the Niners. >> Yeah. [laughter] Couple cupcakes. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's easy road HERE FOR THE. INDIANAPOLIS. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS WAS. ROGER GOODELL OR WHO IT WAS. >> SEE THAT? WE'VE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH. But. on that note, >> a tough judge. >> Yeah. And listen, CJ, I mean, this guy,

I don't know what his problem is. He's. throwing a ball basically like this, 30. yards down the field, right on the money. to somebody every single time. I It. makes no sense how good he is seemingly. every time he steps foot into our. building. He is everything that you. would want your quarterback to be when. he's in our building. Now, our defense. made some plays. Even got interception, did a dance. It was sweet. We did a lot. of good things. Alec Pierce made some. plays, but inevitably in the end, the. Houston Texans beat the Indianapolis. Colts. And it wasn't just the Houston.

Texans, might I add. It was also the. refs, okay? It was also the officials. >> [ __ ] [laughter]. >> Listen, they put ass in these officials. are ass, okay? That that is what these. particular refs did. This is a delay. game, okay? It's third and 15. Obviously, field goal range, so 1613. We. assume Cayam Fairburn will make the kick. maybe. Okay, so obviously a delay a. game. So they should have had to play. Then we GET A PHANTOM DEFENSE AND PASS. INTERFERENCE CALL. OKAY. SO, PLAY. SHOULDN'T HAPPEN. OKAY. And now what? OH, YEAH. PASS INTERFERENCE on who?

>> On that. And then the REF IS LITERALLY. STANDING RIGHT BEHIND IT. HE HAD GOOD. EYES ON HIS THING. I SAW HIM. MISSES. RIGHT DOWN our thing. HE CALLS DEFENSE. PASS INTERFERENCE. OBVIOUSLY, they get a. first down. Okay, sweet. This should. have been a field goal. Instead, end. around. COLLINS TOUCHDOWN [screaming]. TEXANS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, it's 20-13, right? Well, that would be if they hit. the extra point. Well, let's go to the. extra point. Yeah, he misses it. OKAY, SO IT DOESN'T EVEN GO IN AND THIS GUY. YEP, THAT'S GOOD. RIGHT, THAT'S WHAT. WE'RE DOING. SO, this is all within a. span of like four or five plays. So,

whenever you talk about an entire. building just getting the you suck. chance out of them as uh aggressively as. possible you're talking about in this. exact moment. It was absurd and it was. back to back to back to back and it's. like the Houston Texans defense is. phenomenal. Okay. Yeah, the there are. some Texans fans in there. Their fans. are also great. DJ Stra Bolton. >> What the. >> Oh no. Is this real? They had to change. the name. >> Brandon Alvarez. I do not. >> Oh no. >> Wait. When they do that, >> I told X they can't do this. I I told.

Hey, excuse me. This is not allowed. AI. is getting out of control. >> Oh, that's not real. >> I don't think. No, that's not real. >> Okay. Were the cranes already going up. when you guys were leaving yesterday to. do this or. >> That is not real. That is AI. It is not. actually. >> Wait, really? Brandon Alvarez said he. took the picture, right? Then they say, "No." Damn. Pat responded to a pick. I. made it. Oh, yeah. It's fake. It's not. fake. >> Okay. >> Wait, but did he make it in like with. his with his camera? >> He was the foreman. >> Yeah. >> No, he was on the thing and he was doing.

it because every time CJ helicopter, >> HE DID NOT. THAT IS NOT IT'S CALLED THE. LOUD HOUSE. IT IS NOT CALLED the Strat. House. I'm done with it. But this is. what happens when CJ plays against us. Seemingly always wins. And with the. Indianapolis Colts quarterback situation. being what it is, we're in trouble. because a big part of Danny Dimes's. offensive contributions is the fear that. he can outrun you, which he can. Hey, >> white boy got a little motion whenever. he was running. Danny Dimes, you know, he kind of looks like a nerd, acts like. a nerd, everything like that. He's big, strong, powerful, fast boy over rush.

yards every single game. He that's a. massive part of his game. >> There really isn't much fear of that. right now, I don't think. And Houston. Texans number one defense. They they. that was not the right team to have to. play against with that. They are. >> they hunt. >> They do. I actually thought a couple. different times. >> These fans have to hate watching these. games. Their defense is so good. This is. ass. Like your offense, you're here for. the offense. You show up and your. offense is going to be ass against this. team. So you're just going to sit there. and be all right. Maybe next time. All.

right. This is getting kind of boring, isn't it? Boo. We need to start doing. some stuff. Boo. It's like, well, this. Texans defense doesn't let you. They are. very good. And the Jacksonville Jaguars. very good. and the Indianapolis Colts. We're trying to hold on right now. We. are trying to hold the hell on right. now. We got a tough road down the. stretch. Joining us right now, ladies. and gentlemen, a senior NFL insider in. Michigan, man. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Sheffy. >> Chefty, sorry we made you wait there. WE. APOLOGIZE. LET'S TALK ABOUT Danny Dimes, shall we? Uh, I didn't know what a. fibula was. I had to obviously Google. it, ask where it is. That feels like a.

pretty important one to somebody who's. pretty mobile. Now, Danny Dimes, fractured fibula, what do we know? And. uh what should we be expecting going. forward? >> Well, I think it's a hairline fracture. and I think it compromises his lateral. You'll see that he has not been able to. move laterally as much as he did earlier. in the year and they're not calling as. many plays for him to run as they did. earlier in the year. And it seems to be. an issue in that regard. Obviously, he's. full participant in practice. Obviously, he's going to play, but obviously he's.

not going to play the same way that he's. been playing. And I think that that has. impacted their offense some. Yeah, it. certainly has and also hurts very bad. this type of thing. So obviously the. amount of mental toughness that he'll. have to go through every single step. We. shall watch as the journey to the AFC. South championship rolls on. Sauce. Gardner, we lost him very early in the. game. You know, I was actually with. Tyrese Hallebertton recovering very well. by the way. Uh just showed a one-footed. dunk last week. Tyrese Hallebertton was. in the suite. I know watching the game. he's a big Colts fan. Loves coming out.

He saw the replay of this and obviously. he's going through an Achilles thing. right now. He goes, "Hey, that looked. like that looked like something, you. know, he looked back there that the. calf, something along those lines. immediately upon it happening because. that's kind of the mo of one of these. things. Feels like somebody kicks you. from the back, they say. And then he got. carried off. Now he's walking there, but. when he was on the field, there was no. pressure on his foot at all." So, we. were all very, very worried. What are we. hearing with S Gardner? Is obviously we. uh we were bummed out quick that we lost. to number one out there.

>> Yeah. Well, the good part is obviously. it doesn't seem like it's his Achilles. and the great Dr. Randy Moss diagnosed. that right away. We were in our. conference room watching the games after. Sunday Countdown and obviously to your. point Pat, everybody thinks, "Okay, is. this is this an Achilles?" But within. minutes, Saucer was back on the field in. a boot and with crutches. And Ry's like, "If you tear your Achilles, you're not. going back out into the field. it won't. be his Achilles. And it doesn't look.

like it was. It looks like it's a calf. injury. It looks like it's multiple. weeks. I think we may have seen the last. of him for roughly about a month. roughly. We'll see if to put him on. injured reserve or not. Hey, the good. part is it's not his Achilles. Cuz it. was his Achilles, >> you don't even know if the guy's ever. going to be the same kind of player. again. >> Um, fortunately, it looks like a calf. injury. Cats are not fun and it looked. like it was very painful and and. hopefully he's back soon. And hopefully. Tyrese Hallebertton is back soon. >> Yeah. Well, I've been telling Tyrese the.

Pacers need them, so maybe we uh maybe. we expedite this thing. I I think we've. won three games this year, maybe. >> Mhm. >> Yeah, [clears throat] maybe. I think. second last night. >> Okay. Yeah. Okay. Whatever the case. Yeah, Tyrese going to be back in good. spirits. Uh nice to hear that sauce. going to be back for a playoff push here. in Indianapolis as it takes place. Couple other injuries as well. Any. updates? Go ahead, Con, man. >> Yeah, Chef D. Thanksgiving Alman Raw. went down early with an ankle. Uh they. have Thursday Night Football this week. What's it looking like for Aman Raw's. recovery? >> I would say most people would not be.

able to make it back for Thursday night. football knowing Aman Raw. I think he's. going to wind up pushing to try to play. on Thursday night. Now, whether he can. do that or not, we'll see how the week. of practice goes and we'll see how he. feels on Thursday. Uh I don't think. they're going to be ready to rule him. out quick. Maybe they will, but I think. he's going to give it a chance to be. able to try to play on Thursday. I'm not. telling he will, but this guy is very, very tough. >> Yeah, very tough. Very strong. I mean, seemingly built for everything. If he's. able to bounce back that quick, I think. we will all be impressed at his time. Go.

ahead. >> Yeah, I was going to say, you know, you're missing if he doesn't play, if he. doesn't play on Thursday night, no Aman. Rah, no Sam Laora, all the injuries in. the second. It's a It's a lot to. overcome for them. >> Ragnau, I'll tell you what, Marion. Yeah. What happened? Did they Ragnell. came in and the doctors are like, "Hey, exactly what we said like six months. ago. You just can't." [laughter]. >> Yeah. You need to stay retired. >> You can't do it, dude. We're sorry. Like. we wish we could, but. >> the scans have come back. >> Lose my license. >> The exact same.

>> as whenever you had retired, brother. Your whole body is broken, Frank. And. obviously the world respects the [ __ ]. out of you for that. But it's like, we. can't let you back on the field. Just. like last year, we were damn I mean, come on, Frank. You're too damn tough. We can't do it. Is that what happened? Is that basically how the whole story. went with Frank? It's me like he goes in. there, they announce he's coming back, he wants to come back and they go in, the doctors look. >> and they find a hamstring issue. Great.

>> shredded. >> Frank physical and and you know that. that announcement came about 15 minutes. before Michigan Ohio State kicked off in. a weekend which the Lions already lost. the game on Thanksgiving Day. So they. lose Thanksgiving Day. Now you lose. Frank Ragno. Not that he had him. I'm. like, "Oh, I I know how this Michigan. Ohio State game is going because I. [laughter] can the whole weekend for. Michigan." Like that that that's how. this it's going for the state right now. I mean, I could have predicted that. right away. >> It was cold up there, man. It was cold. up there. Congrats to Ohio State and a. big time win. [laughter].

Big time win by Ohio State Buckeyes. Hey, young team up there in Michigan. They can learn from this as they go. forward. Foxy, you a little bit worried. about these lines, man. Are you a little. bit worried about what's going on? >> I mean, as CheFy said, I was heading. home for Thanksgiving and it's. Wednesday. Ragnau's back. back. We're. going to beat the Packers tomorrow. The. Lions are going to be in the playoffs. We're going to go to the Super Bowl. Everyone is fired up for the best. Thanksgiving of all time. And then we. lose. Ragnar's out. And I'm not a. Michigan fan, but I know a lot of people. that went to the Lions game on Thursday,

spent their Thanksgiving at Fortfield, and also spent their Saturday at the Big. House. One of the worst weekends of all. time for those people. So, yeah, it's. been pretty tough over here. >> Yeah. Sorry to hear that about your. holiday if that's how it went. But on. that note, the people in Ohio are living. nice. >> Yeah, the people in Ohio were living. very, very nice. And uh good luck to the. Lions as they continue to do this. Okay, last big time injury. Uh we don't know. if you're going to have any updates. Obviously, quick turnaround. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Chef, anything on Justin Herbert?

We heard he broke his left hand and we. just saw Rogers, you know, have a couple. breaks in his left wrist and he missed a. week. Obviously, the Chargers haven't. said whether or not he's going to miss a. game yet, but uh with their, you know, playoff positioning, they obviously. can't really afford for Herbert to miss. any time. Have you heard anything on. that? >> He's Well, he's having the surgery. today. He says he's going to try to. play. He's treating it as if he's. playing now. Again, he's going to have. the surgery. We'll see how he can get. through the week of practice, what his. grip on the football is like. Um I don't.

know if there's any ligament damage. I. think that's a key question here when. doctors go in there. Maybe they find. some ligament damage or not. Hopefully. not. Hopefully he's back soon. Yesterday. he goes out and then comes back in with. that giant like oven mitt on his left. hand and finishes the game. That that. guy's a warrior. >> Absolutely. >> Um I he's going to try to play next. Monday night. We'll see if the surgery. today allows that to happen. I think. it's up in the air. >> He's football guy, you know, Herbert's. football guy. If he can play, he will.

play. Max Crosby and he obviously had. their moment. Whenever he shoves him. before yelling in his ear, Max says, "Did anybody fight Max?". >> I think lineman ran over. I don't know. about fighting Max. >> I don't think so. >> Just walked off. >> I don't know. I'm not getting into that. I'm not I'm not getting into that. Max. Crosby, what a menace when you talk. about menaces of all menaces. He's doing. his thing. Love good AFC West football. >> Oh, that was in his ear. That's the. first time he whole thing. Yeah. Okay. >> Little Philip Rivers. >> Yeah. He was screaming right AT HIM. 92.

[screaming] YD TOUCHDOWN. HE'S YAWNING. IN THAT defensive line. Helps after he. helps him up in that entire thing. >> I like that. >> Yeah, there's a little heat there. We. like that there's a little heat there. >> Yeah, I do love everything about it. Okay, let's move on to some big time. stories that are obviously developing. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Chef. I'm not sure if you saw it, but for the fourth time this season on. prime time in front of a national TV. audience, the Steelers got embarrassed. Uh Renegade got booed and there was fire. Mike Tomlin chance. Um, is there any.

chance that there is a change in. Pittsburgh this season? What are what. are the reads or vibes you're getting. out of that building? >> Tony, I've always felt like if a change. ever occurs there, it's going to be. because Mike Tomlin doesn't want to be. back there. Mike Tomlin, again, I know. the people in Pittsburgh don't like it. Hasn't had the losing season in his 18. years as a head coach trying to make. interrupt. They also they also they also. haven't won a playoff game since 2016. So, it's both ways. Some people view it. one way, other people view it another.

way. I could say if they didn't want. Mike Tomlin there, and maybe the message. is stale, maybe he moves on like Andy. Reid, finds a new home. Andy Reed's time. in Philly had run out. He went to Kansas. City. We see how that worked out for. him. Of course, he drafted Mahomes, but. it worked out incredibly well. And the. Chiefs obviously love having him. If. Mike Tomlin were a coaching free agent, he automatically would become the number. one coaching free agent out there. He. could have any coaching job he wanted. he could have any broadcasting job he. wanted. >> Oh, yes. >> So, I mean, you know, yeah, maybe the.

the the Steelers fans clearly have had. enough of Mike Tomlin, but I don't know. that they're not firing Mike Tomlin. That that that's not going to happen. We're not going to get one of these. announcements that that the Steelers. have relieved him of his duties the way. that we get from other teams. >> Would there be a trade or anything like. that? Would that be the conversation? And obviously, Coach Tomlin would have. to be the one that kind of says he's. good with it. Uh Mike, coach Tomlin, whenever this is just like the James. Franklin at Penn State, but Tomlin. actually won a bunch. 5 10 years from.

now, everybody in if there is a change, we're not saying that there is or we. have any say in anything or the Roies. kind of do their entire thing. People. will look back on Tomlin is super pot. like Tomlin will be remembered as. absolute hero in Pittsburgh at some. point. But I think the Pittsburgh people. like you mentioned 18 years of winning. season. They're like we're done with. that whole thing. We'll be excited to. learn. Okay, we got to be quick here cuz. we obviously pushed the first 15 too. long. Debbut has a question for you. about another team that's thinking about. change. >> Yeah, we'll stay in Pennsylvania uh with. the Eagles obviously, you know, defending Super Bowl champs, but it's.

been ugly couple games slide now on. offense. Any changes coming at the. offensive play caller with uh Kevin. Patulo, he'll be out. >> They they've said no, they're not doing. that. Everybody wants changes there, too. I I think that, you know, Nick. Serani probably has to get a little bit. more involved in the offense. The. offensive line's got to play better. There's probably a combination of. factors, but Nick Serani said they're. not planning to do anything like that. Debut. >> Okay, that's big news out of uh. Philadelphia. Hopefully, they're able to. get rolling again. You know, when Squan. was gone, it was so much fun.

>> Cool. >> It was so much fun. When Jaylen was. doing cool stuff, it was always fun. Now, it just seems like there's drama. over too much. A lot of distraction, but. never distraction with you, Adam Shfter. We appreciate the hell out of you, brother. >> Thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Happy. Monday. >> You in studio tonight or what are you. doing? I'm sitting in my house right. now. I'm uh going to go to the doctors. I've been coughing for about a week. Every with every cough yesterday, Greeny. would move further and further away from. me in the conference room. Every time I. >> That's a good idea. >> You need to see up brother over there. Okay. Good luck. We're pulling for you. We love you. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam.

Tone sitting right there. Uh Tone, how'. the uh public do this weekend? Do we. have the numbers on how the public did. over the weekend here? >> I do actually. uh 60% or more of the. bets of the team. Sorry, let me restart. that. >> Yep. Yep. Hey, from the beginning. Hey, Tone. Uh how' the public do this. weekend? You got any books on that or. anything? >> Yeah, Pat, let me tell you about that. Teams that were getting 60% or more of. the bets against the spread. We're. actually five and four this week. That's. our first winning week of the year, baby. [applause and cheering]. Oh, mama.

[singing]. >> Maybe maybe we just try to keep that for. like a good feeling. >> Yeah, maybe I I like where you're at. Maybe the Patriots take that song. tonight. >> Don't you do that. >> Yeah, I think I think that's a great. idea. That'd be perfect with the leader. of the line. >> Don't you do that. >> Who did the Who who did the Yankees. pitcher? Who Who had that? Uh. >> you're right. The Pittsburgh. >> Oh, Mar. Oh, no. David Bettar. >> Yeah, he's Pittsburgh guy, right? Yeah. Came from the Pirates. >> I didn't even thought about that.

>> I was I was gonna say you thought Curse. of the Babe was bad. You take Rene. again. You see what that curse does to. you? >> I don't believe. >> No, I don't know if he's going to even. come out to it anymore cuz that's the. whole reason he did it because he was. thinking of, you know, James Harrison. sacking Joe Flacco. That's. >> why. Pittsburgh Steelers fans booed. Renegade last night in the fourth. quarter when the defense was on the. field. a tradition that is maybe one of. the best in the NFL. >> So, there's not a lot of uh. >> and we'll take it with a with a happy. heart. >> No.

>> Don't you have like living on a prayer. or some [ __ ]. >> We got we got basically and Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, [laughter] whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't you [ __ ] jump on. Joofy. Okay, let's let's calm down for a. second. But we'll gladly take Renegade. And just like coach Gary Gay says, ain't. no such thing as curses. >> I mean, maybe the Las takes Renegade, too. I you mean the stride house? >> You need. >> Didn't like that. >> Nine NFL vet Darius Jay Ber. I don't. like that one bit. >> I didn't like that. >> CJ has a lot of success in that building. though. >> He does. >> He [laughter] looked good. >> Has he ever lost.

>> four weeks? I don't think so. >> He's on the peak. >> I don't think he think he's ever lost. there. Yeah, he's pretty good. Yeah, he's pretty good. And boy, it's nice to. have eyes on it cuz every time he drops. back, you think this guy's got nowhere. to throw the ball. This guy has nowhere. to throw the ball and then somehow he. throws it to a spot. It hovers. Okay. Just doesn't go and just right into. somebody's head. He's unbeliev And the. way he walks is just so confident. Just. so confident cuz I think he's a little. duck footed, right? So his feet go out. like that.

>> And he's a heel toe walker. So he has a. natural sway cuz his duck feet kind of. lead him to this thing. So his moxy. radiates literally through every step. that he takes. It's He's a weapon, dude. He is an absolute weapon. Collins very. good. Woody very good. I mean, you talk. about the defense. Number one defense in. the league. It's like uh. >> I don't look, but it's called the Loud. House. It's not called the Strat House. >> No matter how many times CJ Strad goes. in there and has career days, okay,

we're kind of all done with that. You. worried about the Colts? >> Yeah, because of uh the Daniel Jones. injury. I think that's that's big. Him. playing him being a tough guy and being. out there is big news. But obviously you. talked about it, his athleticism, his. ability to extend plays. Yes. And then. this one win on there is Yeah. I see a. few good news. There's another Duke. quarterback that can want run waiting in. the wings. >> Yeah. Riley Leonard. I see him. He's. big, strong, uh, strong, strap it. [clears throat].

>> That was a national went to the national. championship. >> Remember that first drive in the. national championship? >> 18. And the last one. >> Put the team on his back. >> Excuse me. This guy's been in the lab. here in Indianapolis with Shane Stiken, which is his name. >> There wasn't a whole lot of that today. A lot of stinking. >> Joining us now live from Anatican, Ohio, was a college football national champion. with the Ohio State Buckeyes. Wow. He's. waking up feeling much better today than. he was for 2,191. days. He's a Super Bowl champion, ladies.

and gentlemen. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah. >> What a days, AJ. Now you get a chance to. say I'm happy today. You know, cuz you. guys finally beat Michigan. You did it. up there in Ann Arbor. I'm happy for us, man. I'm happy we did it, you know. I'm. happy we did it. Age. >> Yeah, it was a very uh smart pick I. think that you made on college game day. Obviously, with Hutch sitting right next. to you. He was very good actually, by. the way. I I appreciate him and and his. energy and how he interacted with you. guys and and everybody on the panel. But. yeah, I mean, you know, the Bucks went. up there, took care of business. Here we. go. We got Indiana next. Another week.

Here it is. >> Yeah. Humble. We're going to win with. some humility here. You know, I'm not. going to I liked Ryan Day saying, "I've. thought about what I was going to say in. this press conference." All a lot. >> Okay. I'm going to save those for. another day and I'm going to win with. some humility here. I also appreciate. him afterwards talking to coach Chiron. more. Hey, you got to get your guys out. of here, okay? We're not going to go on. your [ __ ] but this is not this cannot. this is going to get bad if this doesn't. happen or whatever. And then him. actually telling the boys, "Nah, we're. not doing that." I appreciate the fact. that there was seemingly a little bit of.

an understanding like, "Hey, we were. supposed to win this one. All right. Now, we know it's the first time we've. won this particular game, but we were. supposed to win this one in our minds in. the national uh coverages. Everybody's. eyes, we're supposed to win this one. But Brutus maybe had one of the greatest. mascot performances of all time. What a. photo. What a situation. He's standing. on his head during game day. Ka, that. was. >> that was sweet. >> That was nuts. [laughter]. >> Pretty good. >> HE'S A BUCK GUY. >> YOU UNDERSTAND? But AJ, I was happy for. the state of Ohio. I was happy for the.

boys to get a chance to experience. happiness in this particular rivalry. And uh I thought about you out there, bud. I really did. I really Yeah, they. had to do that in khakis, too. Shout to. Harbaugh. I I mean, just the whole. thing. Really, really good. But age, I. thought about you guys, dude. Happy for. you, genuinely. >> Yeah, it was awesome. I thought even how. it played out was great for Ohio State. and moving forward. First off, AQ is. facetiming me right now. I'm not sure if. he knows I'm on the show or what's. [laughter] going on, but he's facetiming. my my computer as we speak. >> I think we should think about answering. that. Yeah.

>> Can I Can I uh Oh, it just lets me end. and accept, I guess. Um, but I thought. [laughter] for Ohio State how they. played and like getting getting down. early, throwing the pick early, getting. like, hey, they haven't really been in. that situation this year when things are. really up against it and keep people. could panic and think, oh no, what are. we going to do? Is this going to happen. again? And they just stayed calm, figured it out. Obviously, their defense. is awesome the whole time and uh then. just pounded the rock the whole second. half. >> It was great vibes obviously in that. stadium. Cold as hell, man. Cold as. hell. And you know, Michigan, uh, Fox.

Sports is basically an entire Michigan. lineup, you know what I mean? So, going. up there as college game day is. certainly fascinating, you know, because. the drive and the train. So, we get to. see I get to see a lot. Okay. I'm I'm. driving around the neighborhood to get. to the stadium from where set is to get. to and kind of through it all. It's such. a cool thing that this happens, you. know, like it is. I talked about the. beginning of college game day. rivalry. weekend is like what college football is. at its absolute best. Like this the. passion, the actual genuine emotion and.

happiness or absolute misery that comes. from the outcome of these games and. that's been happening for generations. and generations is what makes college. football so damn special. So it was. awesome to be a part of. Now with all. that passion come some drama and. controversy. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is a guy who is sleeping. on Lane Kein's cot this weekend. Ladies. and gentlemen, a man who award uh. deserves every award that you could. possibly give to an investigative. journalist, a pundit, >> maybe if there's a hair model, too, for.

sure. >> And also a man who's just cool as hell. Ladies and gentlemen, Marty Smith. >> Marty, how you doing, bub? >> Gentlemen, good afternoon. I hope you're. well. Uh, it's always great to spend. time with you. And. I'm not even sure what the hell my name. is. I don't know where I am. Uh the meme. I just want to say this to America and. beyond. The memes were incredible. entertainment throughout the entire. suare. So thank all of you who.

understand AI. I do not I have no idea. what it is or how it works, but it kept. uh me and the boys very well entertained. throughout Saturday and Sunday. >> I love that the internet was uh your tag. team partner through this because boy, we were following your every step. You. were in your hotel room talking about. it. You were in the facility talking. about it. You're at an FBO talking about. it. You're pushing back meetings. You. were saying there was a meeting. Now. it's been pushed back yet again. >> Meetings. That's a fact, Jack. >> Yeah. Yet again. So, we appreciate you.

following it. Biggest story obviously in. college ball right now. There's so many. things that could be talked about on the. field. But obviously Lane Keifin. potentially leaving his school in the. middle of the best run that they've ever. had and going to a rival school before. the college football playoff became the. story that captivated almost the entire. thing. There was a lot of, you know, exposure, I think, to the flawed CFB. calendar on when the transfer portal is, when the recruiting deadline is, when. teams can go, when the playoffs are. So, I think there's going to be some changes.

made from this entire scene, but we. didn't get any of the changes for this. particular situation. How would you. describe what you experienced and. basically the Lane Keifin situation as a. whole from your perspective embedded in. the middle of it basically over the last. 48 hours? >> I've tried to drill down on that Pat. I've tried to think really intentionally. about everything we just experienced. because Lane is an enigma. He's such a. unique personality.

and I would venture to say having been. around him a lot, the personality that. you see on social media is not always. indicative of the person that he is when. you're having a conversation with him. And you know, on social media, he's very. flamboyant and boisterous and. controversial and polarizing, but when. you're talking to him one- on-one, he's. much quieter and more introspective.

And so going into this thing with all of. the growing ground swell of what is his. decision going to be? The fact that. Keith Carter, the athletics director at. Old Miss, basically gave him an. ultimatum. All right, it's going to be. Saturday. I got to know Saturday after. the Egg Bowl. So, I'm commissioned to go. cover the Egg Bowl uh as part of the. broadcast and try to give some semblance. of insight during the game, not just.

about the the decision itself, but the. person making the decision, who again is. a very complex man. And then the egg. bowl ends and I go over to Oxford. and then it got really interesting. because there was this information. coming in that the two sides were not. agreeing. And the main crux of that was, as millions of you know, he wanted to.

coach this football team. And then there. was some some uh uh back and forth about. if he does take the LSU job, who goes. with him that's on the current staff at. Old Miss? And those were major sticking. points. Th those were there there was a. lot of uh tense conversations around. that between Keith Carter and Lane. Keifin. And then we show up Saturday.

morning. Uh, we do all of the shows and college. game day and we're trying to give some. insight and I talked to Lane for quite a. while Saturday morning and he gave me. what he could and then we waited and. waited [snorts]. >> waited and waited. >> and I mean we didn't leave there until I. don't honestly I don't even remember. what time it was. I want to say. midnightish central if I'm I think. something like that. We were there 18. something hours and with no resolution.

And and I I don't know if you guys saw. the clip from SEC Network. I mean, I. texted him at in the 8:00 hour around. 8:45 or 6 and I'm like, "Bro, is there. going to be a resolution tonight? Please, God in heaven, tell me yes. [laughter]. People are people are putting AI on the. internet where I look like a damn [ __ ]. keeper. [laughter] We got to do better. now. we got to figure this out. So, >> you know, then, brother, you wake up. Sunday morning and you and you still.

don't know. And. >> and I'll tell you, I I think the only. story that I've covered that was this. type of news. that might have been a little weirder. was when Scotty Sheffller got arrested. at Valhalla. >> Uh, which by the way, they should have. engraved an Emmy and handed it to Jeff. Darlington immediately. That was the. most brilliant reporting I've ever seen. And then I chased him down to the tarmac.

and interviewed him last evening. >> Yeah, you chasing him down to the tarmac. is obviously special because Lane. Keifing uh starts it with Hey, I really. like the way you ran through. I assume. you had to jump through some stuff, hide. behind some stuff. >> Oh, buddy, let me tell you guys this. story. It's a hell of a story. >> Yes. >> So, all right. The the Old Miss meeting. ends. A player comes out and yells, "It's the. Pete Golding era." So, we're all like, "Oh, hell. Okay, they've they've made. Pete Golding. Is he the interim? Is he. the full-time? What are we doing here?".

So, we're all working our phones trying. to figure that out. And then I get a. text from Lane and he goes, "I'll do. your interview right now." I'm like, "Awesome. Where? When? I I'll do we'll. go to your house. We'll go to the moon. We'll go to the airport." And there had. been a lot of a lot of information. coming in that two LSU planes were. landing at the Oxford airport uh in just. an hour or so, hour or 90 minutes. And I. was still waiting to get this.

information from him on when we might do. this. Nothing. Crickets. So I look at my. guys and I'm like, "Boys, we're going to. airport." Like my journalism antenna. went up. I'm like, "We're going to. airport." So, we go to the airport and. we wait and we wait and it was cold as. hell. Cold cold. And then I get a note from him and he's. like, "We're on the way." Well, I knew. you know you all of you guys are big. private jet guys. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa.

>> So, I know you guys know this. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't be giving away. [laughter]. >> They are. [snorts] It is very nice. It. is very nice. I knew that given the. scene which was bedum I mean the people. showed out at the Oxford airport ready. to tell my man Keifin that he's number. one. >> Thank you. >> Thank you Lee. >> I knew they were going to drive him. straight onto the tarmac. So I'm trying. to figure out how to get on the tarmac. when I know that's against the law. You.

can't just walk out there. [laughter]. So I'm like, "Dude, where are they. taking you?" So, he tells me this area, right? Not going to disclose the area, but I did know that it wasn't where I. was. So, I yell at my crew. I'm like, "Come on, boys. Let's go." And I had. been given at the Birmingham airport. Thanksgiving night this conversion van. >> Yeah. >> Now, y'all, this ain't no minivan. >> No. No. >> This is like a 16 person. >> Oh, yeah. >> It's like driving a loaf of bread.

[laughter]. >> And I'm going to tell you something now. I'd been getting my balls busted. constantly about that by everybody in. the world for driving that loaf of. bread. But you know what? God is so. good. >> Yes, he is. >> If I didn't have that van in that. chaotic moment where we're running to. get Lane Keifin, there's no way I can. fit my whole crew, all the cameras, all. the gear in one vehicle. >> But I had the loaf of bread. All right. So, we all get in the loaf of bread and. and Lane is basically giving me the.

playbyplay on where he is and I'm We're. wheeling this van. >> That's right. >> And we take a left. And when we take a. left off this highway, >> there is all these fire trucks. >> that have blocked off the road. >> Oh no. >> There's firemen blocking a road. >> Well, I said to hell with it. We're. boing this thing. >> Hell yeah. >> What? >> So there's a field that I I drove around. the barricade through all of this farm.

equipment. The van's bottoming out. We're bombing this thing through. ditches, over the hill, and through the. woods to this road. And then I mat this. van all the way up on top of the hill to. the to the tarmac area. >> And there he stood laughing his ass up. [laughter]. So he saw the whole thing. >> I'll give you. >> and he's on the phone and he's like, "Bro, you really are Scooby-Doo. This is. the most amazing thing I've ever seen in. my life." But. >> yeah, >> I give him a lot of credit, man. Like I,

you know, when I got out of the van and. the boys piled out, which shout out to. my crew, world class, Luis and the boys, >> killed it. >> All right, this is a chaotic moment. where this man. is going through a lot of emotion here. All right, he has made the decision to. leave a team that he's led to the. greatest season ever. First time in 132. years of Old Miss Rebel football that. they have 11 regular season wins.

They're going to host a college playoff. g playoff game. It is the greatest era. in the history of the program. And he's. chosen to go to the enemy. >> Yeah. >> So, you know, you I I asked him every. question that I felt was pertinent in. that moment all the way down to what. does LSU offer you that Old Miss. doesn't? And I give him a lot of credit. because he said, "I don't know that yet. It may not be the right decision. We'll. find out." But, you know, he I think he.

said the job I don't want to put words. in his mouth, but it was basically like, "Let's go prove this right.". >> Yes. >> Something to that effect. And so, um, he. answered the questions as best he could. and it was a it wasn't kumbaya over. there in Oxford. It was a contentious. thing. Yeah. And a con a van uh a. sprinter van a uh a conversion van was. just rolling through you know fields to. get up here. I mean you got chaos over. here. You got people chanting telling. you you're number one over here. You got.

the internet exploding. You got I assume. some sort of escort. Then you have a. conversion van with fire trucks. >> There was no escort. Hell no. >> For him. >> Oh yeah, you're right. >> But there's no escort. >> How do you get on? >> Well, for him there were I'm sorry. I. thought you meant for us. >> [laughter]. >> He had Oh, yeah. He had legions of of. law enfor. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Professionals. >> That is Yeah. They're still doing their. job. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Unlike you. >> UNLIKE YOU, LIKE QUINTON ON THE TEAM. ALL RIGHT. NOW, WE GOT SOME questions.

about the meeting cuz there's stuff. coming out and I don't know how much you. know and how much you can tell. Debbut. has a question for you. >> Yeah. Uh I know you've been around the. game for a long long time, so it's kind. of a two-parter. How often does. something like this happen and is there. any truth to the the plane ultimatum to. the staff like hey if you don't meet me. on this plane your your job's not going. to be there. We all saw the report from. on three sports. Uh how much truth uh. was that to that with Lane? >> All I can tell you brother is what he. told me last night before he boarded.

that plane to Baton Rouge because I. actually asked him that exact question. How much of. it being held up this long was due to. your desire to take staff members from. your offense? And by the way, I got home. in the middle of the night and my wife. goes the first time you asked that. question. It made no sense and and Lane. even went, "Huh?" So I had to clarify. the question. So sorry, I was tired. >> That's right. He said to me, Darius, he.

said to me there was never any. ultimatums. All right, that's what he. said to me. >> So that is what I can tell you. I. haven't been told by anybody inside Old. Miss that there was. So all I can do is. tell you what Lane told me. Now that's. his side. All right. Um, a lot of guys. went, you know, I'm I'm keeping tabs on. who went with him. Charlie Weiss went, the guy that is, you.

know, calling the plays of Lane's. masterful offensive scheme. Um, his. strength coach went, his GM went. So, you're talking about key personnel. >> Oh, yeah. which then leads to which then. leads to the, you know, the clause. >> of the college football playoff, the. fourth clause that says missing key. components of your team that you had in. the regular season, whether it was. players like we had with the Florida. State situation a few years back. And it. says coaches as well. Uh, Coach Golding.

becomes the head coach. Good luck to him. pulling for him. Obviously, >> great man. He's a great [applause] man. >> I it felt like everybody loved him. And. he he did have Connor pointed out on his. uh ex account, but he did have the. southern all right, you know, a lot of. eyes. All right. A lot of confirmation. talking, which is uh very positive. And. it felt like the boys liked him. The. standing ovation. And Mr. Butler here, you know, the AD, he's obviously in the. middle of this entire story as well. because allegedly he was the one that. was kind of talking to the team and.

talking to Lane about what he can do, what he can't do. I think Lane said to. you, you know, like some national media. maybe think it's okay for me to coach my. team or whatever. He has to live here, though. He's the AD, so he views it a. little bit differently. I It was hard. for me to ever see them letting him. coach his team. And I understood like a. lot of pe I haven't been around college. football or in the weeds of college. football as long as others have. Obviously, it felt like every OG college. football person that I heard speak on it. was like, "He has to go to LSU because.

they don't even have a coach right now. and they have a better recruiting class. than Old Miss has right now." So, they'll have 10 five star. This is the. number one This the number one recruit. in the country. >> As soon as he landed, >> as soon as he landed, Lamar, I believe, is his name. And I read through his. Twitter account and this kid, he. committed to LSU. He said he wants to be. known as the greatest Tiger of all time. Like, that's what he wants. He's from. Louisiana. Wants to be known as the. greatest tiger of all time. which goes. to exactly what all the OGs of college. football have been saying. It's like. every recruiting class you're going to. have at least 10 five stars. At least 10. just because they want to be an LSU.

Tiger. So like that makes your life a. lot easier is what all these OGs around. there are saying. And in my eyes I'm. like well in a modern world do you need. that? Especially with how great you are. in the transfer portal and if you have. the money to back it and you've built. something so good and you're on a. playoff run, this is the greatest year. you've ever had. Maybe enjoy your. greatest year you've ever had and. there'll be there'll be more jobs in the. future. That's exactly what it seemed like all. the OGs were [laughter] saying. The OGs. were like, "No, but they should let him. coach his team because he's a good. coach, so they should enjoy this entire. moment." It's like, "Yeah, but what. about the transfer portal? What about.

the recruiting sign the signing day?". Like, there's so many things that are. all happening at the same time. I don't. know if LSU would have wanted him. coaching at Old Miss if Push came the. shove, like if they really wanted him to. do that. So, that just never seemed like. a reality type based opinion in my eye. in my eyes. But, I don't know the game. as better as much as everybody else. It just goes back to the complexity of. all of this, too. Um, first of all, when. all of this first started to gain steam,

maybe a month ago or so, something like. that, that he would right after, you. know, BK got fired, Lane Kein's the guy. All right. And my. opinion at that point was, okay, let's let's look at the personal piece. of this. This is a man who genuinely. changed his life in Oxford, Mississippi. What began and and and I'll back up and.

just tell you kind of how he described. it to me. He told me when Old Miss won. the Outback Bowl in 2021, he looked at the victory photos from. that win and he said, "Man, I was so. fat. I looked like one of them Anaconda. snakes that gets the food caught in his. throat.". >> Yeah. >> And he said, "I know I have to make. change in my life." So, what began as no. red meat, no sugar turned into sobriety. And with sobriety for him came.

tremendous fulfillment and emotional. clarity. All right. So what comes from. that? The human condition says when you. have that fulfillment and emotional. clarity, there's peace in your soul. And. I don't care who you are. There's no. monetary value that supersedes that. Now. it's easy for me to sit here and say. that. I'm not the guy that's got what 90. or hundred million dollars staring at. me. all those five stars and all that. tradition. All right. So, that was my.

initial perspective on why I thought he. should stay at Old Miss. Well, then you. start to think about, okay, he's talking. to coach Sabin who loved LSU, loved it, and had he never left there, probably. >> full of rings probably. >> Right. All right. And he's talking to. Pete Carol. Hey, did I did I just Are. you guys still got me? I look like a. robot right now. >> No. Yeah, you're good. This is good.

It's kind of artsy though. We'll say. it's like shot like uh Oenheimer, you. know, at one's one. >> film on there. It's good. It's good. >> Well, well, it filters. >> If he would have never left LSU though, bunch of rings down there. You're saying. he loved it. He left. He took temptation. in the league as opposed to staying. there. You're saying. >> I see it as. the prospect of potential. being higher at LSU than at Old Miss. And that's me speaking for him.

So then you then he tells me last night, all right, I talked to Pete Carol. who said to me, "Your dad would tell you. to take this job. Your dad would tell. you to take this shot." And. I I think he said it well after the Egg. Bowl win. This is such an incredible opportunity. to be wanted by LSU and and and retained. at Old Miss where you've built this. amazing thing. But that doesn't mean it's not a hard.

decision. It's a really hard decision because as. he told me last night, like he loves. Oxford and. >> the people down there, >> you know, they have they have every. right to be upset. Every right. That's a. great fan base, man. And to be in this. moment where you feel like you have this. lightning in a bottle with Trinidad. playing so well with just just their. their offense is incredible. Pete had.

the defense playing at a high level and. now. >> um Pete's going to be the man that's. leading them into the college football. playoffs. >> Yeah. And who knows how much are going. to be docked. Yeah. Like that is the. it's really scary to think about and I. understand the anger coming from the Old. Miss fans and you know who knows if any. other jobs would have been available. down the road after they figure out the. whole CFP calendar. Lane having to be. the one you know that kind of has to. take this head on is wild. You see any. changes coming? Has there been any. chatter you think about that? Do you.

that you've been hearing obviously you. talked to both sides in this situation? >> Yeah. In terms of the calendar. >> Yeah. How do they change? Yeah. What do. you think? >> I I don't know. But this is an opinion. This is not a report. >> Okay. Journalist hat. >> Pundit hat on. I think I think you look. at this. and when you have people like coach. Sabin who has been you know sitting. right beside you Patty on college game. day being adamant that this is a broken.

calendar and nobody knows what he's. talking about more than coach does. All. right. And then I've seen folks like. David Pollock who his I respect his. opinion to the most esteemed level. having that opinion. I think that it. will definitely I I will say it should I. think it should be looked at. Now I will. say this to you too. I've had. conversations with other coaches in the. last What time is it? 1:30 Eastern.

Whenever I was hauling ass from Oxford. to the Memphis airport last night to try. to get home, I talked to a couple of. sitting head coaches that were not in a. position where their job was changing. Their opinion was that only affects 10. or 12 universities a year. And for those of th those coaches that. are entrenched, it g this current calendar gives them.

the opportunity to know exactly who. their team is when they get to spring. practice and then when they get to June. and beyond, >> which I found to be interesting because. I'll be honest, I was a little ignorant. why this was such a huge deal. That's. why I had these conversations with these. coaches. >> Yeah, it's uh it's fascinating because. that number is going to far outnumber. the group that is worried about it every. single time. So whenever push comes to. shove, whose vote matters? This NFLPA. stuff. Yeah. NFL PA stuff. The only. reason why I'm comparing that is because. you hear like a lot of the OGs, the guys.

who make all the money. Well, the. majority of the players are like the. bottom, you know, twothirds of the. roster that are kind of on turnover. So. the NFL PA almost like takes their side. on things and all the OGs are like, "Excuse me, this is not how this. actually goes." But it's better for the. majority. The majority of these college. football teams are like, "Yeah, we would. like more time with our team to get into. training camp, to get into the season.". But that's why there's a pitch of I. think like summer leading into training. camp for everybody. But who knows who. will outnumber who in the vote. >> if I were whoever makes that decision I.

get. Is that the NC who makes that. decision? NCAA. >> Good question. >> I don't know that answer. >> That's part of the problem. >> But whoever whoever that is. Okay. Whoever that group of people is, they. should get in a room with Nick Sabin, with M. Brown with these guys there you. see on the screen. I I just thought that. was well said by coach right and so. >> right. >> it needs to be resolved where.

this this doesn't happen again uh at. least in my estimation because you put. so many schools. in a in a unique situation. All right. Everybody was waiting on lane. Florida was waiting on lane. LSU was. waiting on lane. Old Miss was waiting on. lane. Auburn, all the, you know, all. these schools were waiting to see who. did what and thereby what coaches were. available for them to hire. And as the.

you saw as the lane to LSU narrative got. stronger and stronger and stronger to. the point that all of us who were trying. to break this story. realized, okay, he's going to LSU. That's when all the dominoes started to. fall, right? Silverfield goes to. Arkansas. Some raw goes to Florida. >> Um, what am I forgetting here? Gold goes. to Auburn. On and on, right, >> Jamora. >> And it all happened just like that. >> Jim Moore to Colorado State. >> Yeah. Jim Moore, Colorado State happened.

before all this happened. Turns out. [laughter] that was out of the. conversation. >> I'm not sure that that was really part. of this equation. I'm sure been a big. [laughter]. uh All right, Marty. We appreciate the. hell out of you, man. Thank you for uh. covering it all and thank you for giving. us the inside scoop on how it all went. down from your perspective. The two. helmets over your shoulders class. It's. why you're award-winning. Driving the. van through fields over roads. >> I use my NASCAR experience. I just said, "You know what, boys? If you if if you. ain't if if what's the line of racing.

your last. night would have made the intimidator. proud.". >> Yeah, he certainly would. >> America three forever, baby. Let's go. [laughter]. >> Love you boys. your first class. I love. all of you. >> Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Mark. Smith. >> Yeah, Marty. >> AJ, your take away from that. conversation with Marty right there. >> I mean, I think we all thought that Lane. was gone from the jump. I guess we said. it lating. You you have you speak to him. more than any of us, but um I thought he. was definitely leaving. Uh I thought he.

it played out a little longer than I. thought. I thought we'd have a little. more clarity earlier on. Um but also. like did Old Miss were they willing to. match his contract that he got from LSU? Uh, I don't know. That that's all the. information that I assume will kind of. unfold or we'll kind of discover here. over the next couple days or weeks as we. lead up. We assume that it was all. pretty similar, which is why it probably. took so long to kind of get everything. done because if it wasn't, I think that. would be leaked immediately. Like LSU. has far out bid miss, which is exactly.

the story of why you go to LSU as. opposed to Miss. That was never really a. part of the stories that are being. talked about. Not that I know. And I. think to your point, I was kind of. hoping he would just stay at Old Miss. I. think I was hoping for one thing with. everybody in the college football world. telling me that another thing was going. to happen. Yeah. You know, so like. everybody everybody that I knew in the. college football world that I'm like, "Hey, quick question. Why is uh why is. this happening?" Because you know, these. people 30, 40 years literally entrenched. in it. Deep deep deep. Why are 50 years. actually some why is this being talked.

about the way it is? And then it's just. like a bang bang bang boom. And then. there's like here's an example of. somebody sticking around whenever their. coaching window was hot and they decided. not to kind of strike when the iron was. hot. This is what they ended up having. happen to them. This is the this this is. this this is this and they're already. saying this about him if he was to lose. a game. Think about all that all the d. So it's like they start laying out just. like throughout the history of college. ball this is a move that is made by a. coach in Lane Keven's world. But I was.

just hoping because it's a different. college football now you know it's more. of a business. It's more of like a build. your team through transfer portal and. he's been great at that and he's so. close with this team. >> Coach Sabin talks about that a lot on on. the show when he comes on on Friday like. it's not like the regional situation to. where hey if you if you grew up a. certain place you're going to this. school like now it's I think it's much. more national recruiting as far as like. obviously transfer portal and NIL like. guys aren't as tied I think to their. like hometown school. >> I mean I don't want to take a shot at. Oregon high school football. Okay. We. think Oregon's going to be good right?

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> We think orgon or That's that's part of. it though. I know it it is a different. landscape and we're still kind of early. into it. But. >> who was who have been the last 10. national champions like what team? Like. we have good stories. We have teams that. go on runs but Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, LA. Like it's. >> destination jobs. I mean destination. jobs are there Debb you know like where. you wouldn't leave like there's only so. many destination jobs where it's like.

hey you can't get pride away from a. bigger school. >> Yeah. So, I saw an argument saying like, "Hey, you could be the only coach that. did this at or the first coach that did. this at Old Miss as opposed to the the. fourth or fifth coach that had a great. run at LSU." But if you're a coach, you. have that opportunity to coach at the. highest level. Most coaches, they want. to coach the best players. Like, you. coach in the NFL, you're going to get an. opportunity to coach the best players in. uh draft, free agency, and college, you. don't necessarily have that chance at. every place. Yeah, Texas Tech, Oregon, like all these places, you're going to.

have opportunity, but if you go Ohio. State, like you're going to get that. chance. You go to LSU, you go to some of. these un like LSU is not only that. you're in Louisiana, but you're also the. big dog in Louisiana. Like there is no. other competition. If you're in Florida, if you're in Miami, you got to do a. Florida State, you got to do Florida. Like you got to do that every year. If. you're at LSU, you are the big dog in. the hot bed. Like you're going to have. the resources, the support. Like it's. it's just tough not to do that. and that. kid number one recruit. I want to be the. best Tiger of all time. Like since he's.

a co I don't care who's the coach. I. would like to be the best Tiger of all. time. I guess what the OGs of college. football say, it's a lot easier to sleep. at night whenever you know that like. you're going to get recruits that are. very very good strictly because of their. love of LSU or their family or their. neighborhood or the community wherever. they're from is just an LSU community as. opposed to at Miss or maybe any other. job that's out there. That might be like. one of the biggest perks of LSU is like.

a loyalty to being a Tiger and. everything like that. So, if you listen. to the the OGs of College Football Talk, they say this was going to happen. You. know, life gets better. If the money's. the same, your recruiting is going to be. better. But it's like would have been. sweet if Lane would have been so sweet. That would have been a cool. >> and not have everyone hate you again. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And also, what if you win? >> Yeah. >> It would have been sweet to win, but. what if he loses like three out of the. first seven next year? And then you're. like, okay, man, you're going to LSU. He. has to win multiple national.

championships at LSU to separate himself. cuz like sure he can go and win one. >> quick. a lot of guys have already done that and. then look what happens to guys once they. leave LSU is coach O doing anything nope. less miles he's not doing Brian Kelly's. never going to coach again because of. how it went at LSU like we're talking. about hey you win a national. championship here immortalized miss LSU. you win a national championship yeah. you're supposed to say there there were. fans at their at the FBO when he landed. in LSU saying, "Shit, we're never gonna.

lose again." Like, if they lose a game, people are gonna lose their minds. >> Yeah, that's the pressure coming with. one of those jobs that you talked about. And LSU plays at Old Miss and uh you. know, Lane has already posted on his IG. story some popcorn. I'm sure that is. going to be electrifying, just like. whenever you went back into Tennessee as. a head coach of Old Miss. Crazy stuff. Miss feels like they got their guy in. Golding. Feels like they're fully. committed, which is awesome. and they. have a shot at the college football. playoff and doing something special that. they've never done there before. Now.

been done there before. Now let's go to. some overreaction, shall we? Ladies and. gentlemen, this is what these Mondays. are all about. Hearing from the fans. about how they feel about their. respective teams. I put out a tweet, you. know, on Monday mornings. I say, "Good. morning, beautiful people. We've arrived. at another fantastic overreaction. Monday. I would like to hear your. thoughts. Go ahead and use the hashtag. >> I don't want to overreact, but. >> and let it out." And uh the best ones. will make the show. This first one is. about Lane Keifin. This is from Chase at. Chase OnX. You can find me on XX. I'm.

Chase. # I don't want to overreact, but. Lane State University is returning to. the pinnacle of college football. Somebody get Coach Kein a purple visor. ASAP. Because this amount of Louisiana. is unheard of in the state. WITH THE. LOUDEST stadium in the country and five. stars falling out of trees, Lane Keifin. could become the student who surpasses. his master, Nick Sabin. #lane train #. suck thattbing.

it down there at LSU now. That that's. the opposite side of the coin, AJ. You. know, we see the middle fingers flying. and to get the hell out of here. Then we. see him land down there, dap up, and. then he's driving outside AND THEY'RE. LIKE, "WELCOME HOME. WELCOME home down. That's college football to a te. But it. kind of goes to what we're saying. They're going to be expecting to win a. lot quickly. AJ. >> Yeah, that's what I I asked earlier like. how quickly does he have to at least. like get to the national championship. game like early on. We know that. And. but that's the thing like you want the. biggest job. He understands what he's. signing up for. He understands the deal.

And even though I heard I don't know if. it's true or not that his buyout might. be bigger than or as big as Brian. Kelly's. I mean that's a an interesting. situation there with all they have going. on. But yeah, you got to win. You got to. win every single game pretty much. Well, Governor Jeff Langry didn't know that. Lane Kein was potentially available. We. know Lane Kein was going to be. available. >> This will never happen again. >> This we're doing in Center Bay. [laughter] The reason why reason why. you're getting a job because you're so. good. We'll prove it. You know, we'll. give you all the money in the world. You. were able to win these games. >> Have we seen the details? >> Well, Jimmy Sex's on that deal. So,

let's just I've seen Yeah, >> I think it's safe to assume those. things. >> I think I think we know. >> We trust Jimmy going into that. negotiation. Jimmy S. I I think Jimmy. Saxon should go down as one of the. greatest businessmen in the history of. America. I would say good luck. >> It's incentive. It's a million dollars. per win. I think that's what it is. >> Well, he's also getting money. I I. believe there's been reports and that. would be Jimmy Son football. You're. picking up Old Miss contract, right? And. then we're. >> Well, if that Old Miss football team. wins, but they're not. >> Thank you. That's incentive based. That's my team. >> That's why the bio. >> Yeah, we got to do Yeah. He's still the.

head coach at Old Miss football on onx, although he's changed his entire thing. I mean, what a fascinating situation. And the big deluxe is going to get to. the bottom of it for sure. No questions. asked. His name's getting mentioned a. lot. >> Yeah, >> his name's getting mentioned a lot. >> I want to let you know he should. He is. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's that dude. He's good at his. job. >> He's Yeah, he is a dog. He's an absolute. dog. You know, there were some reports. going on about how Jimmy Son would never. let one of his clients uh go to LSU. because of what's happening between. Brian Kelly and LSU. And Brian Kelly is.

not repped by Jimmy Sexton even though. it was initially referred to as if he. was his particular agent. Jimmy Sexton. represents a lot of coaches and play. Jimmy Sexton is an absolute beast. He he. is a monster in the college football. world. But the conversation was. basically like, hey, this next deal is. not going to be whatever. It's not going. to be whatever. Uh and Jimmy Son goes in. there and says, yeah, yeah, it is. If. you'd like to win, that's how it's going. to be. And uh Jimmy Son said that that. situation with Brian Kelly and the. lawsuit and everything like that. This.

is me speaking, not Jimmy Son speaking. Jimmy Sex would never let that get to. that point. >> No. >> That thing would have been, "Hey, let's. go. All right. Hey, hey, let's go. We. all got business." Too, cuz Jimmy Sex is. going to do business with these schools. Like, >> he's going to do business with this is. how these agents work. People are just. finding out that some agents who are. very, very, very, very good represent a. lot of people in a similar field. It's. like it's not just college football. where this is happening. the the there's. weapons in a lot of different worlds. that are kind of moving and shaking and. they got the backup too, you know, and.

it's a different project now. It's a. whole different conversation in there. and you know, we do everything right for. the client and all that. But Jimmy Son's. a weapon and I would assume him and Jeff. Landry I hope they film that. I hope. they film that. >> I hope cuz how many gator hunts you. think Governor Jeff Landry off? >> I'll give you three gator hunts. [laughter]. >> That's a lot of gator hunts. >> That's a lot. >> Imagine Governor Jeff Landry in that. yoga. He's going to find like a yoga. class for for for Lane. Can you imagine. him? He's going to be there with them. >> I want to mock live Tiger on the. sideline. And Lane, you want Tiger? Like.

absolutely. Lane might ride out on a. Tiger for sure. >> Oh, I still wish he would have stayed at. Old Miss. >> for sure. >> Just another Yeah. I mean, just you're. this close right now. >> I mean, it is crazy that they're about. to go into the playoffs and like their. entire offensive staff on like it's it's. insane. Well, and also it's insane that. this decision had to be made. >> Is when did that call in place? >> I mean, how are they their strength. coach left too? I mean, what do you. Yeah, >> but they got a backup strength. >> Three sets of 12. Talk about. >> next guy up.

>> Next man up. >> When dad and Lacy, too, like I mean, maybe it's just me, but I'm assuming. they're on the first thing smoking once. this season's over. >> Where? >> To LSU. Like, what do we if they like. Lane still like they. >> Yeah. reports were that I guess it was. not great, you know, with the way it all. because he didn't talk to the team, but. then there was reports he was told not. to talk to the team. Crazy situation. Let's go to another overreaction, shall. we? Around the football world. This. one's from uh Nick Moraldo. # I don't. want to overreact, but these are my. thought choices for next [laughter] head.

coach for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Top. left there, a man who won a gold medal. with a broken freaking neck from Mount. Lebanon in Pittsburgh, Kurt Angle. Okay. And he obviously relies on the three. eyes. intensity, integrity, and. intelligence. Three things we don't have. right now. >> Whoa. All right. [laughter] Sign me up. >> Okay. And he would wear obviously the uh. singlet every single week. And he is. still that jacked. Okay. That is Kurt. Angle football. Danloski top right. corner. It does appear this AI. I don't.

know how accurate. That's who you were. talking about there, Coach Dan O. >> Yeah, Dan puts his name out there for. any other job, so I might as well just. throw him in there, too. >> How do you think him in Pittsburgh would. do? Pretty good. >> Oh, we'd love him. He's so smart. He's. all the X's and O's. He'd bring the eye. candy, the innovative offense that we've. been craving. >> Same way he said yesterday, even though. he shouldn't, he would take Pittsburgh. over in a second. >> Yeah. And maybe we'd hear yesterday. coming out of his mouth trying to be. Pittsburgh. So maybe that'd be good for. society, but also he knows. They knows. You know who else knows? Debo. Is that.

an actual photo of him? It probably is, right? >> Yeah. Actually, uh I asked AI to make. him more jacked. This is uh the second. or third draft cuz it just didn't do him. justice in the first one. So, we told. him, "Hey, you got to beef this up a. little bit. >> He'll be jacked forever." And uh. speaking of forever, Snoop Dog, he's. going to live forever and be famous. forever. Loves Pittsburgh Steelers. He. has a bunch of baby Snoops that have. come through his league who are now in. the NFL. I think he's actually a coach. uh an actual football coach. Not bad. there. Nobody's really thinking of Snoop. Dogg to be the next coach of the. Pittsburgh Steelers if they were able to.

move or were moving on. >> Good point. He can connect the older. generation of fans with this young. talent that he can relate to. >> That's right. The young talent is what. we're looking for, aren't we? Pittsburgh. Steelers. >> I had thought about dbo. >> They can all do. >> It's so bad. Oo, offense. >> I'm put Debo on my list. >> Debo defense. >> Well, it's Kurt though. Kurt's leading. >> that strength condition all day. And. Snoop kind of. >> vibes. >> Head coach. >> I guess the head coach. Yeah, that was. you right there. >> Well, he was straight ahead, too. You. remember a couple years ago he was. basically like Todd Haley [ __ ] sucks.

Get this guy out of here. I remember. Snoop doing that like week in week out. So, this is, you know, this is nothing. new for Snoop. He's ready to. >> Your voice there kind of reminded me of. somebody. You did forget somebody on. there, Nick. >> I love Everybody's talking about JO. [laughter] champion. Everybody's talking. about it. You know, it's certainly been. brought up a couple times in the office. Hope you're good, man. Always fighting. >> Uh, all right. Let's go to the next. overreaction, shall we? This one. [laughter] is from. >> Score some points. >> Farquad Pirate Kane. # I don't want to. overreact, but Bryce Young just carved.

up the Rams like a Thanksgiving turkey. And now the only thing getting stuffed. this holiday season is the rest of the. NFC South. Prices up, son. # keep. pounding. This this Carolina Panthers. team's real they good football team. football team. >> AJ, that's not an overreaction. They're. good football team down there in the NFC. South. >> Yeah. Don't you think people I mean I. think this win over the Rams obviously. maybe solidified that a little bit to. where people will take them uh serious. I mean, I think their defense and we. know what they were able to do. And. Bryce Young, I mean, I think he.

continues to like defy. Everyone just. assumes like I don't know because he got. benched for a little while because he's. not as big as these other dudes that. maybe he's not as good. But man, he. absolutely performs especially when it. matters. Like he is he's not scared of. the moment. >> What do you think ceiling is this. season, Debut, for this Carolina. Panthers team? And what do you think. they're thinking going into next year? They're thinking of it all, right? I. think that is where the Carolina. Panthers fans mindsets are at. Yeah, you. got I mean the the fan base, you got a. fair a new regime there pretty much. You. got a young quarterback who who's. playing himself into another contract.

for sure. So, he's going to be the guy. Uh it it's still week to week. They're. still such a young team, but they're. finding ways to win. But every week we. go into the game, we don't know what. Carolina's team we're going to get. And. then you everybody was crowning uh the. Rams going into this one. And they're. missing uh Morg who got suspended, missing JC who got banged up. So for him. to come out and get the the home crowd. was in it for T-Mac making big plays. You talked about Bryce uh Bryce Young. making big plays at the biggest moment. like there were some big fourth downs.

where Coker he hit Coker deep. He hit. McMillan deep like making big time plays. you know dropping his nuts at the. biggest moments in the game. That's what. you want to see from your young. quarterback. And then the other guys. Derek Brown right there with the game. saving strip sack. And this is one of. those big dots right here on the big. down the distance right across the. middle of the field. This is what you. want to see from your quarterback. Making big time plays in high leverage. situations. Weather was shitty. It was. like all those different things. That's. when you kind of find out who you are as. a team. >> The Panthers are a good football team. >> A good football good football team. >> They have a chance to be a good football. team. >> They can win a playoff game this year. >> They have a chance to be a great Okay.

Playoff. >> They can win a playoff game this year. >> Well, I think that is why people still. don't know because it's fresh in your. mind like a couple weeks ago when they. get beat 40 to9 to the Bills and it's. just like these guys are so unserious. They suck. And then they turn around and. beat the Packers at Lambo. And then we. they're just coming off that Monday. night where it's like how many. opportunities did and you know the. Niners didn't play great, but like the. Ram it's just like okay the Panthers are. they're a year or two away and then they. turn around and and beat the Rams. So. it's it's it's it is tough. It's up in.

the air every week. But if they start to. put things together a little bit I think. you are thinking next year for sure like. we're we're the best team in the NFC. South. >> I I'm happy for the Carolina Panthers. fans. They've been through a lot. They've been through a lot down there. Both the MLS team, the NFL team. >> People forget how bad it got, I think, for a while. >> It was bad. [laughter]. >> So bad. >> So. >> $2 tickets. >> No, I think they were actually paying. people. Homeless people were going and. then they were worried they were going. to have to pay taxes on how much they.

were getting paid to go to those games. That's what the homeless people were. worried about. They said, "Do I how do I. do I go to H&R block here? What happens. to. >> stop the construction halfway through?". >> Oh my god. They bankrupted a town. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Rice got. >> Dton Thursday night football game. against the Falcons where it was just. downpouring. I think the final score was. like 63 or three nothing. Everyone was. just like, "You know what? Enough of. this.". >> And then that that store has the sign. that you can change the words on it. Basically says, "Yeah, David Deere is.

ass cheeks, bro." And he walks in. Who's. who's doing that? Who has the thing? That's me. smacks his head on, turns. around and leaves. >> Bryce Young with his gigantic backpack. >> Oh my god, it looked like he was in. ninth, tenth grade. >> That was the low point. >> The talking about how sweet it was cuz. they had a golf simulator and didn't. really mention anything else and he's. just like, "We have a golf simulator. here.". >> On that note, he has requested his. release and it has been granted. He has. now been released from the Minnesota. Vikings, Carolina Panthers. Picked up a.

couple uh draft picks. Everything's kind. of going in the Carolina Panthers. >> No golf in Minnesota. >> We'd like to say congratulations. They. might. We don't know if anybody's. playing and it doesn't seem like they're. any happiness over there right now. >> Congrats to the Carolina Panthers. >> Panthers are six and0 against the spread. after a loss. Four and two straight up. They are a good bounceback team. >> and but after a win, >> not good. >> Oh no. >> That's the thing. They can't handle. success. They're still kind of learning. That's why next year should be a real. problem. Maybe people talk about them. next year how people were talking about. the Broncos going into this year. You.

know, everybody was kind of expecting. the Broncos to be good because what they. thought they could be at the end of last. season, especially with how good their. defense is. It's like Panthers just did. some stuff to Matthew Stafford and the. Rams that we had not seen in a long. time. And when Shawn McVey was asked. about it afterwards, Shawn McVey was. basically like, "Hey, Carolina Panthers, a good football. team." [laughter] I think they they have. the two uh biggest spread outright wins. of the season. 13 and a half. That one. was nine and a half. It's like this team. on the up and right. Congrats people. >> All right, let's go to the next. overreaction shall. This one's from. Dustin Hunley at DH Sports fan. He likes.

them all. #I don't want to overreact, but. >> the Colts are done. >> Oh no. >> Oh no. >> It was a fun first two months of the. season, but reality is set in and the. lead in the division is gone. >> Now we have to go clown time next week. to battle for the lead and we all know. how that's going to go. [laughter]. >> Go ahead and hang the first half of the. 2025 season AFC South Division winners. banner and be DONE WITH IT. HEY, DUSTIN. making a lot OF VALID POINTS, BUT I. DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU'RE toning this.

entire thing. Colts are in a bad spot. I. I mean, I'm just going to say it now. Houston Texans, as good football team, number one defense in the NFL. Obviously, they are a good football. team. We were supposed to be a great. football team, though. In the past. couple weeks, it hasn't been the case. Jonathan Taylor had a couple. electrifying runs, but at the beginning. of the season, obviously, it was every. single time he touched the ball, he was. having an electrifying run. Danny Dimes, a big part of his game, even though. people don't really want to give him the. credit for it, is his mobility ability. And now he has a fractured fibula. Okay.

>> Hairline. >> Oh, okay. >> Shifty said hair. Oh, you know, he's. fine. Heroine. >> It's one of the most painful things that. you can possibly have. So, he's not. going to be able to run as much, which. is a huge part of it. And our defense, you know, without the Forest Buckner. playing, it's been certainly something. Sauce Gardner is going to be out for the. next month. I mean, it is it is gloomy. days for the Indianapolis Colts. I think. we'll be talking to CJ Stout here in. about 10 minutes or so. Can't wait to. hear his thoughts on how the Colts are. kind of doing and the new name for the.

Loud House, which I certainly do not. love. But with the Colts and where we're. at right now, I don't think like you can. judge them because we don't know what. they're going to be. We have no idea. what they're going to be. Massive games. on the road. >> The refs screwed us against the Texans. There's no doubt about that. Okay. The. refs were certainly not on our side. There was a lot of bogus calls. That is. the loudest I've ever heard the loud. house all decide that the refs were ass. because the refs were ass. And then you. get on the internet, everybody's saying. the refs are ass. And JJ Watt, Houston. Texans Bull Ring of Honor member says.

that was ass. So everybody says that the. refs were ass. They certainly were ass. Okay, so I'm not going to say that that. isn't certainly a part of it. But we. lose to the Texans. Texans are getting. very good right now. Jacksonville. Jaguars playing very good football right. now. We lost our last two after winning. all of our first ones. Feels like there. is a couple different trends happening. in the AFC South and I don't like it. AFC South it just means more and right. now it feels like we are less and. everybody else is more dud. >> Yeah. And that's a tough stretch we got. there. But I mean if you ask me before.

the season coming going into week four. 14 we're sitting at 8 and four. Like I. I'm not worried. We're in a good spot. We still got a chance. We control our. entire destiny. >> It's on the quarterback. you know, how. healthy is he going to be with the. hairline fracture? You know, he's fine. running straight forward, but the. lateral movement is one thing you got. for ISO. >> You got to do that in football every. play, but uh kind of concerned about. that. Then the sauce Gardner thing, Shifty basically said he's going to be. put on IR. So, that's like a playoff. return. That's what it sounds like to. me. But.

>> then we can figure it out. >> I mean, they're dogs in every single one. of those games. >> Well, yeah, that's what to me. We like that. Okay. Especially with how. the dogs did this past weekend. I don't. think so. down there in Jacksonville. >> Niners Jagus one and a half at this. week. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Like that like that's what we're talking. about in Klein Town going down to Duvall. taking on a very good Jacksonville. Jaguars team. The AFC South is a. problem. Okay. It is a problem and. everybody can be in there. We got Jags. twice, Houston Texans another time. I. mean, we'll see how it all goes. All.

right. I feel like we really hit. everything in these first two hours of. the program live here on ESPN. CJ. Straoud will be joining us in about 10. minutes or so. He's not joining us. He. is joining us. >> I'll be joining us about two minutes. Oh, >> okay. >> Oh, okay. Nice. >> Okay. So, we'll be talking to CJ Stout. here in about two minutes. So, >> this show on ESPN ends in about a minute. or so. We'll also [laughter] make our. picks for tonight. Okay. And those picks. are going to be good because AJ seeing. it right now. AJ seeing the board right.

now. Four and two. Okay. On the six. games that we picked. Uh. >> Oh, both of you. >> Oh, how about that? Wow. >> Okay. So, we're doing pretty good here, pal. Now, there might have been a chance. that uh. >> Make you pick now. Make you pick now. >> Uh AJ, who do you like? >> Patriots. >> Pay Fris. >> I like the Patriots as well. We'll take. another tie. I'm okay with it. [laughter] Commander should have done. the same thing. Commander should have. done the same thing. You know, they made. the right decision for ball, which I. certainly appreciate, but I'll do it. And we will continue uh on ESPN Plus,

YouTube, Disney Plus, X, you name it. Tik Tok Live. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change your. life. We're back tomorrow. Goodbye. All right, we made our picks. I like. what we did. I like what we did here. >> Yeah. >> What's the line again? >> Seven if you're taking the Patriots. Seven and a half if you want the Giants. >> On that note about lines, I I believe. ESPN bet. >> Oh, really?

>> [music]. >> So. feels like we the KING IS DEAD. [laughter]. >> Like they don't they didn't deserve. taps. >> I agree. That's why we stopped it. And. that was not a. that was a hey, good effort, I guess. >> THANK GOD THAT SUCKED.

>> NO. Jeez Louise. I mean, it wasn't. great. I mean, it obviously didn't work. out well for either party seemingly, and. we'd like to wish everybody good luck in. that thing. Good luck, everybody. [applause]. >> Well, I hope I'll [cheering] still be. able to be singing Green somewhere. >> Well, we we know Green will certainly be. giving us some more money, okay, with. his picks. We know that's going. >> But relax, please. >> What are you doing? >> Buckled over. >> What happened? >> That caught me a couple. >> seeing green, bro. We are seeing green. always.

We appreciate Greeny dabbling in the uh. for sure. They hit him a lot of times. >> Did it? I mean, come on, man. [laughter]. >> Is Otter Guy still going to have special. needs on the book? >> He needs to. Hey, listen. He just signed. a new deal, right? >> Congrat. book. Love you, Other Guy. >> Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is. a man who can sleep soundly knowing that. the Ohio State Buckeyes beat that team. from up north. [laughter]. Yeah. and also he came to Indianapolis. and beat the team from.

Indie. Ladies and gentlemen, the. starting quarterback for the Houston. Texans, uh, team that can win the ABC. South yet again, CJ Stra CJ. >> So funny. [laughter]. >> How are you doing, dude? Great to see. you back on a football field yesterday, man. You felt good to be back out there. Looked like you were spinning the ball. just fine. Looked like you hadn't lost a. [ __ ] thing. You felt really good out. there yesterday, CJ. Yeah, felt pretty. good. >> Yeah, I knocked off a little rest, man. Uh, you know, I had fun, bro. Just being. out there playing, you know, this sport,

uh, that I love to play, man. So, I had. a great time and, you know, uh, it was. good to see you there and, you know, in. your colors and everything. So, it was. fun. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure it was. It was a. great time to be there. You know, my. daughter's first game. She had a blast. She was very excited to go watch this. Indianapolis Colts team take on, you. know, the AC South rival, Houston. Texans. And we'll lie to her whenever. she's older. say that we won that game, but she'll probably look up the stats. and say CJ Stout doesn't really do that. in Indianapolis. Let's talk about your. team. You obviously coming back was a.

big part of the storyline. You miss how. three weeks, right? Was there questions. like uh like that felt like a long time. We were very worried and I I assume you. were as well in the entire process. Was. there planning for when you would come. back? When was that kind of all being. talked about? And did you just say. immediately, you know what, I'll come. back uh Indianapolis and ruin their. lives. Is that was that a part of it? >> Uh, no. Uh, it was really just a health. precaution. You know, it's it's your. brain. So, I mean, I'm not gonna play. around with that and take every. precaution and just listen to the.

doctors and, you know, our officials. here to, you know, get the right, you. know, feedback, but it's something that. you really can't like have a timet for. like if you hurt your wrist or like your. ankle or something, god forbid, you. know, that's a timetable you can like. time stamp that, but something with your. brain, you know, you got to like really. just take precaution and making sure. that you're like fully healthy before. you go out there. So, you know, I. thought our team did a great job at. that. And, you know, I'm just grateful. to be back and be healthy. >> Okay. We're grateful that you're back, too. You're a special talent, dude. And. while you were out and where your team. is at now, you guys are poised to go on.

a playoff run. Big time run. Obviously. the defense number one in the league. offensively watching you spin it. There. was a couple times you can't see [ __ ] I. know you can't cuz where I'm sitting I'm. looking right where you're looking. Hand. in face. Yeah, right. Let me go ahead. 30 yards this thing just levitates. Doesn't even draw right into a dime. You're outstanding. Okay. You are. absolutely outstanding. The offense is. awesome as well. What is the messaging. behind the scenes for you guys? Everything's available. Everything's. possible. Nobody's really talking about. the Houston Texans at all, I don't.

think, throughout this entire season. what is your guys' thoughts on how this. season can be and where you are right. now? >> Yeah, of course, you know, we didn't. start off, you know, the way we wanted. to. You know, we lost, you know, five. games of, you know, in between one. score. Um, but I think, you know, other. than, you know, looking down on. ourselves about it, you know, it was a. positive, you know, to fix some issues. Um, and we start winning these close. games against these really good teams, you know, we'll be able to to, you know, take take the next leap to, you know, get to where we want to go, and that's. the playoffs, and then, you know, go.

from there. So, um, you know, I thought, you know, yesterday was a was a really. good start for us, you know, at least. for me coming back. Um, and I thought, you know, we answered the bell against a. really, you know, really good team with. the coach there, you know, who have. really good defense and, you know, been. playing really well offensively. But, like you said, our defense man is, you. know, been, you know, a rock and a, you. know, just the best in the league from, you know, I practice against them, so I. know how hard it is to go against them. Uh, but yeah, I think, you know, if we. can able be able to play competent. football in all three phases, you know, be able to win a lot of games. You guys.

get a tough way, a tough environment, and that's a really good team. Do you. see what they're doing on the internet? Do you see what they're doing? Did you. see the picture? >> No, I'm not on there. [laughter]. >> Do you see this? I don't like this at. all. >> I don't like hilarious. >> Is it [laughter]. Is it It's called the Loud House, CJ. Okay. It's not the Strat House. And I. don't like that they're doing this. This. is what's happening on the internet. right now. You said you're not on the I. asked X to delete it. Okay. Just know. that I'm trying to clean that up. >> Do they do it? They do it. >> I don't know if they go around do it. yet. I'm not happy about that.

>> But it does feel like you play great. football there every time. It's an honor. to watch you and geez slow Houston. Texans all the way back. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah, CJ. Obviously, it's actually about. the Strowhouse that we just saw this. picture. What is it about like you seem. to play very well inside the confines of. Lucas Oil. What is it about that you. have good sight lines like good vid? Like what is it? It seems like you just. on obviously you play well all the time, but whenever you come into the uh the. loud house as Pat likes to call it, you. seem to uh you know take it to another. level. It's the name of the place.

>> Um, yeah. I would just say like the. level of focus, you know, uh, maybe goes. up a little more just because it's a. divisional opponent. And, you know, my. boy Zier, you know, he's always mad at. me. Um, and he always talking crazy, so. I maybe turn me up just a little bit. Uh, and so I know he's going to hear. this and he's going to hate it. But, um, you know, uh, after the game we're. always cool, but during it, me me and. him go at it pretty good. But it's just. all the competition. So, you know, uh I. think it it turns me up a little bit. more and I think, you know, my old line.

hears it and they want to play harder. So, um you know, it's just a division. rival. You know, in in those games, you. know, you're going to be talking back. and forth and, you know, having worries. for one another. Um and I think maybe. that, you know, turns us up. But, um. yeah, I just try to, you know, just be. focused every play, you know, go one. and0 every play and you know, take it. from there. >> Yeah. Let's let him sleep. Maybe we got. to play you guys again. We we got to. play you guys again. It's going to It's. going to mean a lot. And let's just let. CJ Stra just go a bit. You got this moxy. about you, you know, you're duckfooted. and you go heel toe. I was watching you.

walk because you're right in front of. our suite while there was a touchdown. happening on the other side. You got a. full set. You're by yourself. You're. over there just having your time. That O. lineman comes running over to you. Your. walk is just that filled with aura. I. mean, you are you're franchise QB, brother. It is uh it is cool to watch. you kind of do your thing. Now, let's. talk about the quarterback position and. everything that you've gone through this. year. Go ahead, Debb. Yeah, on that. note, being a franchise QB, obviously. you were banged up and you had to kind. of watch the game from a different. perspective. You used to being out. there. What's that relationship like.

with Davis Mills, we call him Douggee. Mills, but what's the relationship like. with him off the field with you guys? [laughter]. >> That's my brother, bro. Like, um he's. he's been a a really, you know, great. leader for me coming into the league. Um, I thought, you know, u coming in, you know, fighting for the same. position, you know, he always showed me. love still and I try to do the same and. he's made me better. I feel like I made. him better. Um, and you know, we we have. our QB dinners that we do, you know, and. u we we hang out a lot. His wife, you.

know, is a really good friend of mine as. well. And um his family, you know, I. meet them, you know, every time they. come to to the games and stuff. So, you. know, that's my brother, man. I always. support him. I always, you know, root. him on. And I just think it's funny that. people ask these questions now. just, you know, cuz he's, you know, had, you. know, some really good games and, you. know, it's something that like I root. that on. I want I think he's a starter. in the NFL, you know, and I think, you. know, he's proven that, you know, in. these these couple games that he's. played. So, I just think it's funny how. people, you know, can try to switch the. narrative to make it seem like I'm like.

some guy that's like, "Oh, no." Like, you know, LIKE. >> I SAW A PHOTO OF YOU IN THE LOCKER ROOM. THEY saw a photo of you in the locker. room. Everybody was happy but you. Okay. Everybody was happy but Yeah. I'm. telling you, I've seen it with my own. eyes. >> I'm prime. >> You can see You can see one photo, but. look at the WHOLE THING. LIKE, >> NO, IT'S 2025, CJ. WE'RE NOT DOING THAT. I SAW ONE FRAME. THAT GUY'S NOT HAPPY. Still concussed, too, in that frame. >> Oh, yeah. I didn't even think about the. lights in that entire thing. Yeah, it.

wasn't narrative, though. It wasn't. narrative. >> Yeah, it's all good, man. Um, some. things in life, you know, I try not to. respond, you know, and, um, just let my, you know, let my, you know, priv private. life be my private life and, um, I. thought, you know, me and my teammates, you know, I I think they, you know, know. how much of a leader I am and how much, you know, having that C on my chest. means to me and that's not when it's. always good for me, you know, and, uh, that's when it's good for the team and. it's sometimes not great for me, I got. to be happy cuz that's, you know, more.

important than just my selfish and my, you know, personal desires. So, uh, I. put the team before me anytime, man. And. and if that's, you know, me not playing. cuz, you know, it was a Thursday night. game and I I was just super happy that. we got the dub and it helps me out that. I get to play hopefully more ball, you. know, as as the season goes on. >> Yeah. But I saw a photo so. >> Oh, [laughter] yeah. Happy to hear. Uh, I'm happy you cleared. that up, though. That's good. And. Douggee knows that you're happy for him. and that locker room knows that you're. happy for him. Feels like you guys have. a great culture down there. On that.

note, Connor has a question for you. >> Yeah, CJ. yesterday and throughout this. four-game win streak, Jaden Higgins and. Woody Marks have really come alive. Two. rookies, Nick Cacerio once again in his. bag. Uh how what have you seen from them. a as the season has gone on just. developing as a wide receiver and a. running back and their contributions to. the offense uh during this win streak? Yeah, I always u remember my rookie year. and like um being thrown in the fire and. kind of just thinking of like time on. task, you know, it's like some things,

you know, are better when you just get. thrown in the fire. You have to figure. it out and I thought, you know, they've. they've figured it out pretty early. So, um you know, Woody has been anchor, you. know, in our running game and, you know, has created a lot of, you know, big big. time running plays for us. Um, and then. on top of that, you know, Hig is out. there, you know, and he's he has a lot. on his plate, blocking and, um, you. know, running routes and I thought he's. done a great job of that and, you know, clean body language and, you know, it. hasn't been overnight. A lot of. conversation that I have with those guys. just, you know, um, being that I was. just a rookie, you know, two years ago,

um, you know, just shows that, you know, like I'm I understand, you know, what. they're going through. And, uh, I think. the main thing is like confidence, you. know, with that being a rookie, you. know, you can keep your confidence, man. This it's the same game we've been. playing since we were 10, 11 years old. But it's just, you know, at a different. scale. So the confidence that you bring. each and every day, you know, and the. preparation, you know, that all, you. know, adds up to, you know, how you play. on Sundays. >> I forget who said it, but somebody said, "I was telling people that I was the. best in the world about two years before. I was, you know, and that's like a uh.

that's like a perfect mindset for. professional athletes, basically, even. if they're outside humble, you know, inside there is a belief that they're. [ __ ] real." Like that's what. separates, I think, the professionals. from everybody else, the great from the. good. I think he's in between the ears. Confidence is such a big part of it. Confidence comes from a lot of work. though. You don't just wake up. You got. to work your dick off. >> And once you put it out there, you know, a lot more people are going to be. looking at your waiting for your. downfall for you to waiting for Oh, okay. No. So, that's a part of it. >> That happened to you, dude. That.

happened to you a little bit. You know, you got that happened. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You're going Yeah. You've battled. though, which is why we appreciate the. the hell out of you. Now, speaking of. battling, it's been a long time since. the people of Ohio have had a chance to. be happy. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, CJ, obviously, you know, your your. boots to the fire right now trying to. make it to the playoffs, but I think I. saw that you called uh Coach Day after. the game against Michigan. Obviously, you know, that rivalry, how important it.

is more than most. Uh what' you think. about that game and how happy were you. to see that Coach Day finally got that. Michigan monkey off his back for the. first time? in 2191. days or whatever it was. >> Yeah, man. I'm just so happy for him. You know, somebody who, you know, I. consider, you know, a brother of mine, um, a person who I look up to, um, and. somebody who, you know, is instilled. confidence into me and, you know, made. me, you know, feel like I was the. greatest thing since sliced bread when I. played for him. So, um, just to see, you.

know, his hard work pay off, to see how. much he puts in and the coaching staff, um, you know, to win that game, to. finally get that done, man, is just I. just think it's super cool for Columbus, you know, for the state of Ohio. Um, and. I think he just stamped himself as, you. know, best coach in college football. And I I've been known that. um just the. mind that he has uh not just offensively. but as to run a program especially there. where everything is so critical you know. uh I thought he's done a great job and. and you talk about class and you know um. you know doing it the right way and not.

looking ignorant or like a fool after. you win cuz we could have did that but. to have class and you know to still have. fun with it though and not disrespect. anybody uh you know I thought that was. super dope to see and you know I'm just. and I'm super proud of Julian man like. that dude's that that kid's a baller um. you know Cali kid and, you know, processes the game the right way, has a. heck of a touch, you know, a heck of a. arm, and then, you know, them beasts on. the outside and up front, you know, they're playing well, then like us, they. probably best defense in the in the. country. So, um, I just think, you know,

they're playing off cylinders, and, you. know, I think everything starts with. Coach Mick though. If Coach Mick is the. reason why, you know, we moving guys up. front, why defense tackling the way they. are, while Julian the throwing that ball. and the strength staff. So, um I think. just think all that coming together, you. know, when you get that dub. >> Yeah, it feels like uh very comfortable. being a dynasty, too. Ryan Day feels. like the way he's moving, he understands. what life is like at the top, never. satisfied, continuing to motivate, understanding the situation. Him talking.

to coach Moore afterwards when they're. shaking hands. Hey, we're not going to. plant the flag or anything, but you need. to get your guys out here. There's going. to be some [ __ ] Basically, is what Ryan. Day said. We're going to win with. humility. There was a stoppage of it. all. And then afterwards in his press. conference when he said, "Uh, I've. thought a lot about what I would say at. this exact moment right now. I'm gonna. save those for another day. We are going. to win uh with humility through it all.". Fell, >> what do you think you would have said? >> I wouldn't hear. >> Yeah. What you 91? >> I had cops outside of my goddamn house.

>> Okay. Two years cuz our [snorts] own. fans were coming after me for not. winning this game. They potentially had. our signals. Remember that was full. the. the the amount of the amount of things. that he could pull from and what his. personal life was. I think everybody. that uh has ever met him is happy for. him in this particular moment except for. Michigan people obviously. You called. him. Is that right? We did hear that a. little bit of a rumor. You called him. What was the messaging and what was the. conversation like? >> Yeah, I just told him how much, you. know, I'm proud of him and just, you. know, uh just to see the smile on their. faces and, you know, to finally get,

like you said, get that monkey, you. know, off our backs was just dope. Um, and I was really just raving about the. play calls, you know, like, um, I told. him about, you know, it was a play that. I that I ran my whole career there, um, that, you know, I seen them run and we. scored on to Carnell. I was like, and I. text Coach Key, the tight end's coach, and then I when I talked to Coach Day, I. was like, man, I seen where that play. was. And then the one uh, Brandon scored. on on the the motion. I thought the. motion was super cool. the timing to get.

the ball snapped, you know, in the. perfect element where they thought we. were going to the flat and he breaks it. across the face on the slant, you know, I thought was super dope and a great. play design by by coach Hart. So, um, and I just I really was marveling about, you know, the play calls, but um, I. thought overall they played great and. yeah, that conversation was was well. needed. I ain't talked to coach day in a. little minute. So, I mean, it was good. to see his face. >> Hell yeah. Good to see your face, too, dude. Just not in our stadium. Stop it. >> Yeah, [laughter]. >> enough of it. I don't like what they're. doing on the internet. I don't like. that. I don't like your name on our. stadium, but Jesus,

>> you guys are really good at football. >> Good football team. >> And it seems like you're about to be. good for a long, long time. Thank you. for hanging out, brother. Have a great. day. >> Appreciate you guys, man. God bless. y'all. >> Bless you, too, man. Bless you, too, man. Hey, bless bless the Texans. >> All right. See you, dude. >> CJ Stra. >> Yeah, they told us. They literally just told. us, "Hey, he's got somewhere to be like. 215." Yep. Yep. [laughter]. >> That's saving. Yeah, exactly. All right,

let's get to a break on the other side. We'll cover all the stories we didn't. talk about, you know, cuz we hit that. first 15. Did you hear the first 15? The. J's up, the booze are out. They finally. had it. Did you hear that? >> I did, but I also listened to Kaboli and. Mac uh do their postgame podcast, too. I. think Kaboli said Trey Essex called in. It was actually a beautiful show, but I. believe he uh Kaboi thinks what does Tom. have one more year in his deal and he. thinks they mutually part ways after. next season.

>> All right, cool. >> Almost there. >> Another season. >> Yep. >> What? That was on camera. We saw you do that. >> Another winning [clears throat] season. >> Yeah, >> the jig is not up. The booze are out. It's real. >> Reload this next year. It's just it's. >> similar to AQ and James Franklin like. after it's done I'm gonna be very very. thankful for everything that he has done. here. It's just you know. >> sometime 18 years a long time.

>> Long time. >> Someone you got to go to college. You. got to spread your wings and [laughter]. fly. >> Buy some. >> believe the net scratch offs. >> Yeah. >> Maybe some sins. >> Yeah. >> Maybe serve in the military. >> Already throwing that Z right in the. middle. >> Had to do it. Had to do it. >> I'm so [ __ ] tired. You would not. believe. >> How about him driving his [ __ ] van? We those conversion vans very readily. available in the rental car department. We've learned. >> Mhm. >> I'm in one of those at least once a. weekend, I think. >> Great seat. The seat is like the. Southwest window seat right there next.

to the door. There's one right there. Always try to snag. Get That's where you. got to be. But you can fit a lot of. people and you can toss a lot of [ __ ]. What we have learned. >> Yeah. >> It's a big [ __ ] tosser to the back. couple rows vehicle. >> Them doing that with the cameras. Let's. chase him down, boys. >> I hope he recorded some of it behind the. scenes. That would be great. Like. >> the crew. He was driving. >> Yeah. >> He was driving, texting. >> Yeah. Driving like [ __ ] Boduk. He. said. >> he did. He said I booped that thing.

>> Y. >> What a legend. I didn't know we were. going to get the whole behind the scenes. story. Did you know that when I asked. the question? >> No. >> I'm glad we did. >> I'm glad he did though, for sure. >> We're about We're about two and a half. minutes into that thing. I'm like, [snorts] "Okay, we're about to learn. this entire the [ __ ] whole thing. here.". >> Yeah. >> And it it was the biggest story. >> Oh, yeah. >> By far. >> And Marty's just right there in the. middle of [ __ ] Oxford, Mississippi. >> You imagine Well, imagine if he was. there all those days and then he didn't. get that interview. >> What's going on here?

>> The hell? >> What are people doing here? What is. this? >> High winds. It sounded like I don't know. what the hell that was. >> Where'd that come from? Who's [laughter]. that? >> Oh, Jesus. Come on. >> I was talking about this. You guys heard. something? Oh my god. Tornado. >> Yeah, gale force winds or something. >> Maybe ice fell off the roof. >> Could have been tends to be the. >> Oh, yeah. The sliding of the ocean. >> I thought someone just crashed into your. office. >> Maybe. I mean, who knows? >> Yeah, >> especially with the way that parking lot. was this morning. >> Bone confirmed. >> Snow falling off roof. >> Bone, don't stand under it.

>> Could have killed him. >> These things get dangerous. >> Yeah, >> you you have a dome. It looks cool. It's. like, hey, the dome looks cool. Sweet. Let's put some RainX type stuff so. nothing got to get trapped on that. Well, when it's freezing cold, windy, and there's moisture, there's going to. be iceolates that kind of stick to the. dome and then they're going to slide and. then those things are coming right down. >> Projectiles. >> Yeah, that's. >> just like this. >> Yeah, you're right, Bone. Don't be. standing right when you open the door,

he's got to sprint out to get get some. clearance from the building. Right. >> This is just like back in the day when. we were kids and there was a sniper in. DC and they were telling us to walk. zigzags. >> Did you guys get that? Chased pine. alligator. Same thing. Yeah. >> Had a Jack Frost situation. >> Yeah. >> I'll tell you what, I think we all beat. it, so we should be pretty pumped about. that, >> right? >> Yeah. Legit. >> Hell yeah. >> That was a real worry at one point. >> Yeah. >> You are right though. If you don't have. ice melt yet, go get that some [ __ ]. because I saw about 10 people slip next. door. No, no, no worse way to start your.

day. >> Dropping off a bruised tailbone. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> Dropping off the kids. >> Yeah. Luckily, no, none of them were. holding their kids, but I saw that and I. was like, I'm holding my daughter. I. better really kind of. >> dial it in. Oh, yeah. Sh. Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle. Goddamn Kevin. Mallister's house out front there. >> Yeah, you got to sh The thing is with. the ice, you got to actually almost try. to slip. >> Control the slip. >> while you're on it as opposed to try not. to slip. >> Like a control burn.

>> Exactly. It's like whenever you're uh. white white wall rafting. >> and there's like a rock or something. supposed to lean towards you. into it. >> cuz it'll shoot you away from it. On us, you just got to embrace the slick, the. slippiness, if you will. >> Same if you're driving, turn into it. >> Bingo. And also, put that thing in. neutral cuz drive is going to give you a. little bit of power to to the tires. You. don't want any of that. >> Ain't that the truth? >> Drop that thing into neutral there on. the ice. >> Okay. Got a lot of range in. So, you. said go into the rocks. >> Yes. >> Yeah. When you're white water rafting. Yeah. >> Then let that current [ __ ] it'll.

shoot. >> Do you a lot debut? >> Uh, I did it once actually. >> I've never done it. North Carolina. Me. either. Sweet. I've never done it, but I've heard the. metaphor a lot. You know, this is just. like whenever you're white water river. rafting. You got to lean towards the. problem actually to get you away from. the problem. You got to face this thing. head on. That's where I've learned it. from. I've never actually gone out there. cuz I heard you could die. >> Oh, yeah. >> And I don't really like Depends on the. category. >> Well, can't you? >> Yeah. If you lean into the rock and you. just bang your your head off of it, then. you'll die. >> You got a helmet on.

>> Bingo. >> Yeah. But if you do go if you do go. unconscious underneath those tides, I do. believe that is a lot of death. >> It's tough to breathe under there. >> Yeah, it's it's a high percentage. >> death. >> Mhm. >> So, I'm just going to I'm just going to. live with the metaphor. I'm going to act. like I did it. You. >> ever seen River Wild? Great movie. Alen. Hunt. >> Yeah. >> What about without a paddle? >> Is that stiff? >> I've seen that actually. >> Seth Green. >> Yes. >> Mhm. >> Dad Shepard. >> Boom. >> That's a good movie. >> Little different than Riverwalk, but. >> yeah. Yeah, I both can. >> David Stratharn,

>> you gota [ __ ] run wild out there. >> Came bacon. >> All right, let's get to a break. [clears throat] Remember, the salt. doesn't help after the ice. >> No, it's got to come before the ice. >> Before the ice. >> Yeah. And if you just like go throw a. bunch of salt on top of the ice, you're. just going to waste all your salt. >> Yeah, we we paid for a double salting. here today on top of the ice. >> So, >> you guys got a lot of lot of ice. You. have snow as well or what? >> Oh, yeah. >> Uh snow. There was a covering of. everything and then wind kind of changed. that. So then there was like a tornado, a lot of winds, high winds this weekend.

And then after that there was a little. precipitation ice just like sheets of. ice like this thick across a lot across. a [snorts] lot of stuff. Very scary. Very, very scary. But it's not black ice. cuz it doesn't blend in. You definitely. see that it's ice. So you're almost. like, "Oh, okay. You got to embrace the. slick.". >> That's right. >> Got to embrace the slick. >> There was [laughter] a 100 car pileup on. Terra Hook about an hour from here. See. that? >> Couple days ago. >> Did you see that? >> I saw it on the internet. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Scary. The wind, >> it was very windy. >> The wind with the snow, with the ice is.

really quite a, you know, it it really. gets you because it spreads it all. everywhere. >> It's like that. What's that thing. called? The Arctic blast. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Polar vortex. >> Polar vortex. >> Yep. >> Pittsburgh. I don't know how we live. there with the snow. >> Great. >> The hills like this. >> How does anybody make it to. >> the sports team? >> Mhm. At that time? Oh. used to Renegade used to come on in a. car when you're going up a hill like. this. >> Mhm.

>> This is what's happening. The car in. front of you made it 3/4 of the way and. then dumbass [laughter]. comes down. They're on the side. You. loser. My turn. Oh, mama. That's what's happening. Idiot. Next person. Two wheel drive car. Let me [ __ ] go ahead and give this a. go. Got to give it a good run. Full. speed. Right back. That's that's that's what.

renegade used to help people get. through. >> Now they're boning it in fourth quarter. when defense on field. >> Sad. >> Good old days. >> Oh, should have known we ran them. >> First time. First time it's been booed. >> Two and0. >> Really? >> There might have been a lack of. response. Maybe not as enthused a couple. times, but I don't think just an open. nope. This team doesn't deserve this. Boom. >> [ __ ] renegade. Yeah, right, dude. Let's get to a break. We'll be back on. the other side. Paul Finebombs is doing.

Hour three of the. program begins now. >> Football. >> He's magical. Well, that's uh AJ Hawk. and congrats to him and he's Ohio State. Buckeye. >> AJ, tell me how you feel about this Ohio.

State Buckeye team. Maybe one of the. most dominating runs a college football. team has ever had. They roll into the. Big 10 Championship this weekend in. Indianapolis, Indiana to take on the. Indiana Hooers, who haven't won a. conference championship since like 1967. or something like that in football. Obviously, it takes place in the state. in which they represent. There's Hooers. fans everywhere. Buckeyes fans are. insane. Should be a magical weekend. How. do you feel about your Buckeyes, AJ.

Hawk? I feel pretty good about where. they are. I mean, obviously, we knew. they had to go uh go up to Ann in Arbor. and win a tough one. This is I mean, these the the views and the the clips. from this game will be shown forever. Obviously, the snowfall, what Brutus was. doing on the sideline in the end zone. was was awesome. I think it'll it'll be. one of those games we look at years down. the road that they took care of. business. But uh had a big test with. with Kurt Signetti and the old Indiana. Hooers. I think it's going to be an. awesome one-two matchup. Uh I wish you. would be there and see the hoopa, you. know, with the game day set, but I'm.

sure you'll get there later on in the. playoffs hopefully. >> Are you going to come over for the game. or no? >> Uh I don't know yet. I'm trying to. figure that out. >> We'll get you a bird. Come over. >> We're going to be there. We're going to. go to it legit. Yeah. >> You going? >> Yeah. I think I think it's going to be a. [ __ ]. >> I can't wait. My expectation is this is. going to be an insane envir like I think. it's going to be an outrageous. environment because Hooers fans good. fans they only get a chance to do it for. basketball games though for a long time. you know obviously they've shown that. they will be football fans they are.

football people naturally in Lucas Oil. which a lot of Hooers would call their. own home you know and then Ohio State. Buckeye fans always travel always very. loud I mean it should be electrifying in. the city of Indianapolis and yeah I I'll. be heading back from the SEC. championship. uh college game day morning and go to. that for sure. Yeah, it's the city's. going to be shut down for this thing. I. mean, it is going to be outrageous. And. I think what Mendoza and that Indiana. offense can do, not a lot of teams in.

the country can do. It's the original. reason why I picked Indiana over Oregon. is because I'd been forced to watch this. Indiana Hooser team being a local here. and I've seen it and it's like this. Mendoza guy operates like a Sunday. quarterback. This guy's an NFL. quarterback. They got talent all over. the place. They're able to protect them. It's like and they can run it. It's This. team is a good team and your defense can. be dominant, which your team certainly. has been, but Mendoza has been able to. be good against those types of teams. because he can also read, which is what. your defense can do to offenses. So,

it's like I think the game's going to. live up. I think I think the game's. going to live up to the environment that. it's going to be played in. And uh I. think it's special, man. I I think it's. very very special situation for both. these teams. age. >> I can't wait to hear. Uh I don't know. You think Kurt Signetti will be a little. more subdued this week leading up to it. or you think he's going to be, you know, he's going to be very boisterous and. talkative? >> If I had to guess, he told us earlier in. the season that he don't have to do that. [ __ ] anymore. He said he felt like he. had to do all that to make sure. everybody believed like he he feels like.

he had to come in there. He said the. first four hours I was in the building, I realized that we got to change a lot. of people's a lot of everything around. here, opinions, ideas. We got to build. this program up basically. So he says. that that decision was made strictly. because of the lack of belief in the. program that he felt immediately upon. arrival. So he started talking his [ __ ]. [ __ ] Ohio State. [ __ ] Purdue. [ __ ]. Michigan. Yeah. Like this is what we're. doing in this entire thing. And then now. he said he feels like people believe in. him. And I think that's I think that's.

real. I I think we do believe in the. Hooers. And I think that's why Saturday. night is going to be glorious here in. Indianapolis. >> I mean what the president and AD said to. you last year when game day went there. >> Yeah. We are fully aligned. We are fully. aligned. President I think from Georgia. >> AD from. if I recall right alignment from. football places like very much. understand what football can do for. entire university what sports can do for. entire university and they're embracing. it. And obviously the Penn State job.

opens up Indiana immediately goes hey. you want to stay here? Yes. Here's a new. deal for however much 100 million we'll. keep you here for the next six years. Like they are very much all in on it. And the Ohio State Buckeyes are in the. middle of a dynasty, you know. So, yeah, special. >> be physical physical game. That's why I. thought the Michigan game was cool. because it was very physical. When I. talked to people that were there in this. in the stadium, they said like every. play, even if it's not on camera, like. there's dudes 20 yards down the field. kind of going back and forth, kind of. pushing, shoving. After every play, there's it was a rival game. It's very, very physical. There's a cut up too of.

Casmmer, the tight end. The dude was. blocking his ass off, putting dudes on. the ground. There's like five, six, seven clips where this guy's just. finishing dudes all over the field, landing on top of them. It's just, it. was one of those games is how it's. supposed to be. >> Hey, can you tell me a little bit about. obviously Jeremiah Smith's unbelievable. He was warm. >> The defensive holding there, right, Debbut? >> Oh, for sure. >> What a bucket uh shot there from Julian. Sain to Tate. I I mean, you know, this. this Ohio State team has been beating. everybody's ass. I mean, that's what.

they've been doing. and Texas actually. Sarkeesian came out week one we lost. seven by seven to Ohio State we've all. seen what Ohio State has done to. everybody it's like since jump this Ohio. State team has been understanding that. they have to be great and they're. expected to be great now they got the. Michigan game out of the way now it's. like full focus on what this entire. season they feel more like a machine I. think than any other team at this point. >> yeah I would be interested to hear AJ's. thought if he is afraid of any I guess. drop off the emotional now you finally.

got this Michigan monkey off your back. I know this is a huge game. You. defending national champs, but now after. getting a win like that, this is the. first for this group obviously. Uh any. any fear of a falloff facing this uh. who's your team? >> I don't think so. I think they feel. probably I mean Ryan Day I think is he. is on those dudes every single day like. he he is highly highly motivated. So the. rest of them are I think now they think. all right cool like now our season. begins like what we've done was cool. like whatever but now we are here to do. what we we set out to do. this is what. we want to do. We plan on going.

undefeated and win a national. championship and that's all out in front. of us. >> Here are the odds to win the national. championship as we sit at this moment uh. with DraftKings. Ohio State plus 160, Indiana plus 425, Georgia plus 800. Oregon plus a,000 alongside NAR dying. >> and Texas Tech. Hey, that's a good. football team. That. >> is good football. >> Hey, now that we're talking about Texas. Tech, hey, >> did they play? >> That's a good football team. They need I. think to get out of the Big 12. I think.

>> Oh, okay. >> I think Texas. they feel right West Texas, but if you. really zoom out and move over, you can. say they're a part of the south eastern. part of the United States of America. So, the fact that Sanki has not invited. Texas Tech into the SEC is disgusting. for those people down there in LeC. I'm. probably afraid of them. >> I don't exactly what it is and they know. that. But if you guys get invited to go. over there, [laughter] you guys should.

go on over there and prove just who the. hell you are. >> How's BYU not in the Mountain West? They're in the mountains. >> Bingo. >> I'm okay with BYU hanging in the Big 12. >> Okay. Okay. [laughter]. >> Especially with some of the rules trying. to pick it up. They're kind of They're. kind of But Texas Tech, we need them out. of the Big 12. We need them. They beat. the [ __ ] out of the West Virginia. Mountaineers. >> I saw some clips. YEAH, >> THEY I'M BEING just saying good football. team. >> That's a good football team. That's a. good football team. And I don't think.

nationally there's a lot of respect for. him because it's brand new. Like Texas. Tech is brand new. But like. >> one of the people, >> let alone high school coach loves ball. Quarterback high school. His dad's high. school coach loves ball. They embrace. Texas. It's like the people, the double. eagle and Buddy Beach. Okay. the people. that are kind of behind this entire. thing who uh took a shovel out and they. won down there and they found it. Okay. And they certainly have it and they. played ball in the trenches is where. they played ball. So it's like.

>> we want the best D line and we want the. best offensive line and it's like you. got Patrick Mahomes too who's there to. get brand new stuff from Adidas and. recruit uh whenever you talk about. weapons and everything like it's like. >> they have they're I think they're just. getting started. I I I don't think it's. uh I think they are a real problem for. as long as that shit's in the ground. And that shit's going to be in the. ground for a long time. And that. [laughter] IS HOW THAT IS HOW I think. Cody Campbell. >> and Dusty Wobble. >> and Buddy Beach, okay, and these boys. I.

think that's how they view it. And I. think they're all aligned like, hey, when we're good at sports, everything's. better around here. It's a very. familyoriented part of the country, I. think, and of the state. And it's like. family, sports, it's like that's. everything they love. And it's like uh. they view that as their team. And to. have one of the main drivers of that be. a trenches guy, it's like he knows he. this guy gets it. This guy really really. understands. >> where they spent this offseason, too. >> All of it. That D line.

>> We got no points. We We played four. quarters against him. >> Yeah. It's all. >> Let's go football team. >> It sucks to have to tweak that out. >> Final. >> Yeah. Why do I know everyone does it? everyone. >> Yeah, it's cuz they want engagement. I. think. >> they don't have to engagement on. >> they want right now remember these. people have wrong not all these people. not West Virginia certainly not okay. certainly not a West Virginia but you. know these social media people they got. the wrong you know. >> send it. >> they got the wrong goals you know. they're not sometimes their goals aren't.

this is not what I'm referring to if you. you know this one is not what I'm. referring to. >> although that's not a good one. >> should just lie 30 nothing. >> yeah cuz you can just say you stopped. tweeting. >> yeah last we saw this this tweet. I. actually posted this two hours ago. It's. just one out. You know how the stadium. be? Sorry about it. And then you can. even quote tweet that and say, "Sorry. delay on the tweet. We'll see you next. week." Then bang, now you're getting. actual numbers as opposed to just saying. we're ass cheese. Look at this. And look.

at this. >> Seven touchdowns. >> Seven. >> Or just say like, "Hey, the boys fought. hard and we're unable to get a victory.". And just don't put the score. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Good game, Texas. crazy. >> Although we weren't able to get on the. scoreboard this week, we will certainly. attempt to in the future, >> you know, >> or just Texas go football team. >> That's all it needs to be said. >> And also maybe even [laughter] Texas. Tech should be banned from the Big 12. That's Yeah, let's go. >> They need to be Texas Tech.

>> Yeah, that's what the posts need to be. >> Texas Tech team, I think, is going to be. good for a long. So is West Virginia, though. Okay, we're finding our hard. edge. It was lost there for a while, but. it has been found once again. And that's. an offseason run. We're not losing our. coaches to Colorado State, so I don't. want to hear anything. >> Not yet. [sighs]. >> Has Kevin Brown decommitted yet, actually. >> Whoa. >> He knows we need him. >> Okay. >> And enough with even putting that in the. universe. >> Okay. >> Tim Brown's boy. >> Well, yeah, exactly. He's not letting. him decommit.

>> Maybe maybe post that. Just post Kevin. Brown. West football. >> Forget the future. Boom. on the NEXT. SEASON. >> LET THE body. and it's him. >> and they have a transformation from his. photo shoot that he had where his quads. were out and his jaw and then it goes. into his PADS RIGHT HERE AND. [groaning and screaming]. YEAH. WHAT? It's down. >> What if Lane comes after him? >> What the [ __ ] are you doing? [laughter]. >> Why are you doing that? >> Why are you doing that? We don't need.

that. >> I'm sorry. My bad. >> Okay. What are you doing? Why are we even talking like that? >> Not not a lane. LSU doesn't want like. Yeah, he's he's where he should be. He's. going home. >> Thank you. Yes. I kept you off the. screen though. I didn't want him to get. swayed. You know, Ohio State was one of. his final three. Like we do not need. anything here. This is a big deal for. West Virginia. I think it's being proved. every single week. You know, when we go. out there showing promise, showing a. chance, and then we run into a team that. is there right now. This is where we are.

trying to get to. And Texas Tech, I. think they're going to be there for a. while, man. They got football. people with the money. as opposed to like I think Cody Campbell. if he really wanted to I assume he could. have got into the scouting uh NFL world. you know he's one of those types of guys. I think he could have got in there loves. ball knows ball just so happened to take. some of his ball money and go start a. company you know back Texas Tech. >> sure. >> and boy we hit it and then we did it. again and then we holy [ __ ] did it again.

>> and we did it. and they I think view themselves as. football people how they want it to look. and then you add in Mahome it's like. that's a problem dude and that fan base. is crazy. >> Yeah, >> they are a [ __ ] great fan that's got. to get I assume that's only going to get. bigger. >> Oh yeah. >> Who else in the Big 12 has those kind of. you know that kind of alignment that. they have right now. Oh, it's and I yes. I don't know whenever you give that. question but whenever you talk about the. alignment it's like this is what every.

college football team would the money. people are football people. >> cuz everybody's like hey the money. people can't be telling the football. people what to do it's like well the. money people are [ __ ] football people. it's like. >> okay Mahomes you think he knows his [ __ ]. you think you can maybe. >> these guys they know ball like it's a. it's quite they need to be banned. >> they need to be banned. >> them also understanding like, hey, we. need to get better on the offensive and. defensive line and like kind of changing. from the gimmicky [ __ ] that they. used to be where like they just go out. and throw for 750 yard like you can't.

just beat every team 56 to 49. So them. understanding like even with Mahomes. being there like no we have to do this. the right way and then you see when they. actually do do it the right way it's. like oh wow these guys are pretty. [ __ ] good. >> Yeah, this is Cody Campbell's tweet. Love you Red Raider Nation. Love you. Joey Marguire and every single one of. the incredible group of guys you coach. Now, let's go get a Big 12 championship. >> Big game for the next 10 years. >> Nobody's gonna get in our way. >> Sweet road to the playoffs. They ain't.

leaving. >> Why would they? >> No, they'd be so stupid to leave. They're in a beautiful spot. >> Yeah, right. What What are you talking. about? What are you guys talking about. right now? We talking about the Big 12. being a cakewalk to the playoffs? >> Yep. >> Money will sp [laughter]. >> Little do you guys Clemson ACC situation. for the next day. Mhm. >> No, I don't think so. I think that is. not accurate. >> Here is championship week. As we look. ahead, congrats to these teams. potentially winning the first.

championship of the year. This is. something that every team looks forward. to, has their sights on. It's talked. about in the building throughout the. entire year trying to win your. conference championship. All these teams. will have the chance to do as such. That. Georgia game obviously down there in the. SEC will be a spectacular one in. Atlanta. Uh, a lot of questions about if. Alabama loses this game, would will that. be held against them in the College. Football Playoff Committee? Then I've. heard Herb Street, I think, say that he. has heard that if you make the.

championship game, you can't drop. anywhere, but you could maybe go up or. something. >> I haven't seen that rule. >> Me neither. I I have not either, but I I. think he heard from somebody, maybe a. committee member. I I Let's Can we. FaceTime Herb Street? Can you please. FaceTime Herb? >> That would be three losses from him. >> Yeah. Have you seen the. >> So then he goes they go into the three. loss committee, the three loss crew and. then there's a lot of conversations. about all that. Yes, exactly. >> Who's ranked higher than Duke? >> Who's that? >> JMU and both of those American teams. So.

if there's a situation where Duke wins, ACC might be left out of the college. football playoff. >> Come on, Duke. >> Which would be insanity. Obviously, that'd be a huge conversation. Alabama. or Texas getting into. >> I hope not. >> the playoff would be a huge. conversation. in Alabama potentially. getting punished for losing in the SEC. championship would be a huge story cuz. then you would hear every person that's. ever been involved with the sports say. so these championship games are not good. to go to so Oregon is not going to the.

championship game so they just get to. hang out they won't add any other losses. and they're in a great spot is that kind. of the thought of what we want in the. future and then you think about Alabama. if you win the SEC championship though. all of a sudden now you're in a much. small primo position. Georgia stays in I. think regardless. >> Yeah, I personally I think that teams. that are in in this conference. championship this weekend would be the. Oregon, Indiana, Texas Tech, Georgia, and Bama. I think no matter what. happens, it's cuz you can't take I don't.

think you can punish Alabama for losing. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is. a man who is always in the middle of. most conversations about ball because he. kicks off NFL weeks on Thursday night on. prime with Al Michaels. >> He is the face of college game day which. I am lucky to be a part of 9 to noon and. then he calls the prime time game every. single week on ABC. Ladies and. gentlemen, friend of the program, former.

president of Ohio, Kirk Herbstre. Herby, thank you for coming on. I hope. you had an incredible morning thus far. I hope you had a great weekend. Question. for you. Were you the one that said, cuz. I was just thinking aloud here. Alabama. obviously if they lose in a championship. game will pick up a third loss. Then all. of a sudden, everybody's like, "Well, they'll get tossed into the three loss. group and then maybe they miss college. football playoff, which then leads into. people saying, well, you don't want to. make your conference championship game. What does the conference championship. game even mean?" Didn't you say that?

that you heard something about not being. able to drop in ranking if you're in the. championship game unless it's a blowout. or something like that. I I forget what. was that you that said that and if it. wasn't you, what are your thoughts on. that situation? >> Yeah, I it it probably was me in one of. our meetings. Let me pull this over. >> Probably me and one of our meetings with. um. >> Oh, I like that. >> Game day, you know. I mean, it it is a. Is this working? >> Is the mic? >> We can hear you for sure. I don't know. if you're going through the mic or not, but it looks cool. Okay. Okay. Oh, maybe I'm not going.

through it. But but but you're right. The the the me the the meeting we had I. was said I was because I've been told. this. It's not my opinion. I just been. told that if you go into a conference. championship game and unless now. Wisconsin I think in 14 got blown out by. Ohio State 59 to nothing. And that that. flipped everything. Ohio State went way. up. Uh they were two spots behind and. ended up going up. But I I I haven't. seen I can't remember a team that had to. play a bonus game that then got punished.

for playing in that game. I mean, Alabama went to Athens and beat Georgia. in the regular season and now they're. going to play him a second time and we. all know how tough it is on a second. time. So, I don't know. I unless they. get worked, I'd be surprised. And we. don't even know what the fin really the. the rankings are until tomorrow night to. find out whether or not how far ahead. are they of some of these other teams. Have you guys broken down Duke. potentially winning yet?

>> Uh yeah. Uh Tone just kind of led into. it a little bit about maybe the ACC. champion not having any representation. in the top five or top highest ranked uh. conference champions. Yeah, it's really. confusing because for me anyway, the top. five conference champs, I think we all. get locked in Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12. But in this case, if Duke, who's seven. and five, ended up winning, you're not going to move them up over.

the American winner, Tain and North. Texas. So, that champion is. automatically in. and you're if JMU, who. I think has a chance to get into the. rankings this week, they're 19th this. week in the coaches and AP poll, but if. JMU wins their conference championship. game, they would go in. And if Duke beat. Texas Tech, you you could have. JMU, let's just say to Lane, if they. beat North Texas, ACC out. If BYU beats.

Texas Tech, I Texas Tech's not out. So. you have BYU N, Texas Tech N. Now you. start elim where do you start. eliminating teams? Think about that. BYU. count them for me. BYU, Texas Tech, SMU, or I mean I'm sorry, JMU. to lane. And now you got the Big 10 champion. Let's say Ohio State Indiana. Whoever. wins, the loser still in.

>> Oregon is going to go in. So, if all kinds of chaos, we haven't. even gotten to Notre Dame yet. And how. many do we have? We haven't even gotten. to the SEC yet. How many you have left? >> One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And Notre Dame would be eight. >> Oh, whoa. Whoa. I mean, think about. what's left now. Think about what's. left. Georgia, Texas&M, >> Miss. >> Notre Dame, Miss. >> Oklahoma, Alabama, Vandy, Texas, Miami,

Utah. I mean, if that happens, seven, eight, >> you you you have it's it's complete. and utter chaos because going by what. you said, you got to put Notre Dame in. Well, then who are you going to leave. out? >> I'm telling you, >> Notre Dame. >> Hey, I don't like it, Kirk. I don't. think any of us like it. >> And it was kind of the reason why you. were talking the way you were talking on. Saturday about Lane being able to coach. his team. like uh and obviously there.

was people that got very upset with you. saying that like hey the reality is. that's just not going to work out for. any party yada yada yada but I think. what you were thinking of is if Lane's. not there and his other coaches that are. going with him aren't there what is this. team going to look like as opposed to. what they worked for all year that is. the world you were living in right is. that not. >> I I I was looking at it from a players. perspective and a and a unprecedented. season in the history of 122 years of. old miss football I I wanted them And.

whether it's Lane, if Lane has to go, Keith Carter said he's got to go. Okay. I mean, you're that's his decision. That's fine. Can Charlie Weiss Jr. stay? Uh, can Joe Cox stay? I mean, you. imagine Old Miss preparing. You got Joe. Judge is one of the few offensive. coaches that's still in Oxford and. everybody else is in Baton Rouge. So, this chaos, and I'm not saying it's Old. Miss's fault. We talk about the. calendar. Miss had to make a decision. And I I I I respect that their AD.

basically said, "Listen, you're either. with us or you're against us. If you're. out, you're out. Goodbye." But it really. puts this Old Miss team that's enjoying. a season that we've never seen. I would. just love to see kind of look what. Tain's doing. John Summer is going to. Florida. He's coaching in the conference. championship game of the American. If. they win, he's coaching in the playoff. I think you know that maybe they decided. it was a different set of circumstances. going from Toain to Florida. I get that. But um I just thought maybe if they went. around to the players, especially the.

leadership council, and said, "Hey guys, this this sucks. I mean, it is what it. is. Do you guys want Lane and all these. coaches to stick around? Do you want to. do it without him?" And if it I don't. know if they did that or not, but if. they did and the leadership council. said, "The hell with him. Get him out. here." I'd be like, "Okay, that that. that players made that decision. Let's. go with it." But I don't know if that. happened. I have no idea. I just know. Miss made that decision. And I'm not. like jumping up and down saying how dare. they. I just I wish for their sake. They.

could have stayed intact, made a hell of. a run. They, you know, maybe they'll. maybe they'll circle the wagons and and. play with a pissed-off attitude, you. know, that that Lane left. I'm I'm sure. like the example I used this morning. with Joey was West Virginia lost um Rich. Rod to go to Ann Arbor. They had to go. play Oklahoma. You were on the team in. Phoenix or in Tempi. >> Oh yeah. >> Or Glendale. No one thought they'd have. a chance against Oklahoma and I don't. think Elmer Fud could have been the. coach that day for West Virginia and.

they would have killed anybody. You guys. were pissed off at the world and maybe. maybe that'll be Old Miss, you know, on. the on the uh if they get into the CFP. and they make a run, maybe they'll be. mad at the world. >> Hopefully it'll it could unite them and. they get going. You know, we had uh Pat. White, Steve Sllayton, No Divine, Owen. Schmidt, Ray Nod, Tito. >> You guys were. >> Yeah, we. >> you would have beaten anybody in the. country that night. >> Yeah. And the issue is if if some doofus. makes a couple kicks, you know, before. that. We do beat anybody in the country,

which we're still living in and we're. trying to get back to that obviously. But to your point, we went through coach. Rod Leven to go to higher grounds. You. know, he went to Michigan, a job that. you have to take. and uh Stoops I. believe from Oklahoma said uh we were. hoping that we would get a better team. or something like that. Like they they. said something along those lines like. team's not even good enough. Bill. Stewart who was our head coach at the. time he was tight ends and special teams. coordinator beloved by. >> no one really knew him. No one really. knew him on the outside world. >> Bel loved by the locker room obviously.

been around a long time and the way he. talked that whole week about how bad. everybody thought we were ass and all. this stuff. It was it was a cool week. for us. It was a cool week for me. Yeah, I had to battle a lot of personal demons. obviously, but it was uh yeah, we beat. the [ __ ] out of that team. It it was uh. it was a cool thing to watch our team. respond that way. Maybe Miss will do. that. That was one game. If you want to. make it to the you have to win multiple. games and there's a lot that goes into. it and obviously with the timing of the. transfer portal and signing day and. you're with another team and we have our.

team who's going to be talking to the. people. It's uh what a nightmare. And I. think we've all talked about the. calendar being crazy and hopefully. they'll be able to change that. But I. don't know, this [ __ ] was crazy how it. all went down there at Old Miss. And to. the point that you're talking about. about BYU, Texas Tech, JMU, two lane, two, three from the Big 10, Notre Dame, Georgia, A&M, Bama, Miss. Is that who. you put in there? Remember the clause. that they have in this thing? Could you. imagine how bad Lane Keifin would be. hated? >> Oh. >> Oh my gosh. >> Oh my god. They can't do it. Oh, miss.

guy. >> But they're have to get in. >> I don't think Notre Dame's. >> And by the way, >> guys, none of those weigh more heavily. than the other. Strength of schedule, head-to-head, uh comparative outcomes of common. opponents. And then, you know, it's not. just cuz it's down there at number four. It's it's availability of of key players. and coaches. And I don't know how. there's no way the committee Oh, Miss. finished the year strong. I mean, think. about how they blocked out all the noise.

and went out in the Egg Bowl. It's. trick. We all thought that was a tricky. game for them. >> Oh my god. The committee. >> cowbells the rivalry. >> Oh my god. The committee doing that. would be the biggest heel move of all. time. >> I don't think it's even I don't think. they can do that. >> But what if they they're at six right. now. What if they move them down to 11. and they go from having a home game to. having to go on the road? Like even that. people are going to be Oklahoma. >> Didn't they drop them already? >> One spot. Yeah. >> Oklahoma on that list you had. >> Nope. They're [clears throat] making it. >> cuz Oklahoma's there. So then you're.

saying Notre Dame drops out at least. >> There's there's a there's I can't. remember the list. There's like. >> I don't know who dropped. >> If that's the situation, there's a. chance where like Notre Dame, Miami, Vandy, um I'm trying to think of who the. other two lost by. >> Utah, Texas. >> Two only two of those teams can get in. So it's it's going to be. >> No, I mean I mean you're talking about. having three spots and you're talking. about seven or eight teams that are are. worthy of having an argument to be to be. in there. And by the way, you know, I. don't think anybody signed up for team,

you know, it's great to see these. underdogs and that's a lot of fun. >> I don't want to see, >> but how is Miami of Florida, the year. that they've had? Why can't a tiebreaker. be. >> Yes. >> the the CFP rankings? Like, how is Miami. the best team in the ACC and they're not. even going to Charlotte? It makes no. sense to me like how Duke at seven and. five is going to play Virginia who's had. a great year and a hell of a story. But. how is Miami not going Why can't the.

tiebreaker be the CFP rankings? It just. makes no sense to me. >> Yeah, there's a lot of things that don't. make a lot of sense in college ball, but. we're still going to WATCH IT. AND UH WE. still love it. The controversy, the. drama, the atmosphere, and the. meaningful football that is on its way. for college football. Well, we're pumped. that we get to be a part of it. See you. down there in Atlanta, brother. >> See you guys. Have a good one. >> Indianapolis, brother, is going to be. insane. Yeah. >> I'm coming back for the second half. after I call the SEC. I'm going to fly.

up to Indie to watch from the sideline. You guys going to be in the suite? >> Yes. You're coming through for real? >> Yeah. I'm going to fly. I'm going to. catch I hope to be there by halftime. >> Okay. Come on. It's going to be. >> What time What time's your game? What. time's that game start? Do you guys. know? >> 8 p.m. >> Oh, definitely. My My game, I think. What time is my game? We're here. Four. >> Four. >> Oh [ __ ] Is let's see. 7:30. 7:30 airport by hopefully 8 8:30 at the. latest in the air. By 9:30.

>> Yeah. >> Is there an FBO near downtown? >> Yeah. 15. >> All right. So, I'm there. I'm there. worst case by 10. >> All right. We'll see you then. Cannot. wait for that. Should be a good time. They're going to shut down this city for. this game. The Hooers have a basketball. game at 3:30 in the afternoon. Ohio. State Ohio State obviously travels in. bunches. I mean, it's going to be. >> it's going to be fun. Yes, it is. It's. going to be insane here. We can't wait. to see you here as well, ladies and. gentlemen. Kirk Herbry. >> Yeah, Kirk.

>> Oh, Kirk. >> Yeah. >> Ohio State, man. We'll win. We'll win. Ohio State. >> I see you're wearing your blue shirt. like you were wearing your blue suit on. Saturday for the boy, you know, for your. boy. wear blue. How many you think gray. or blue? >> Yeah, those baby blues. >> You got those baby blues. You were told. earlier you wear blue, those [ __ ]. >> Is Tai still mad at me? >> I was complimenting his athletic. ability. >> No, [laughter] I I was more mad about. the Iowa stuff. And then I'll tell you.

what, Kirk, after they just beat the. absolute [ __ ] out of Nebraska. You feel. good? Yeah, I feel great. Packers won on. Thursday. >> Thanks. Thanksgiving win. You're feeling. good. >> Exactly. I'm I'm a good spot right now. >> How are you? How was. >> I love you. How was the Black Friday. game? Did you enjoy that? >> Loved it. Absolutely. >> There's going to be more of those, right? Bezos is going to be spending. more on those like uh super duper. holiday games. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, it's my fourth year there. and they they've had four of them. I. think the last couple years people have. kind of caught on to them a little bit.

more because you're you know, you're. used to the Thanksgiving games, but. Black Friday, uh it was a blast. Bears. are really [laughter]. really good, man. They're fun. old. school eye formation, run it down your. throat, play action. Caleb is much more. disciplined, playing great defense. They're going to be they're going to be. a factor. You look at their schedule. I. It's going to be a It's going to be a. fun matchup in uh in the postseason with. really that really the division. Kansas.

City or uh Green Bay, Detroit, and. Chicago. All three of those teams. D I. got Detroit Dallas Thursday. I don't. think either team can afford to lose. that game. That's a huge one. Thursday. >> Yeah, Dallas might be the best team in. ball right now. So, which is such an. interesting part of the Dallas Cowboys. story because there's a chance they. can't make the playoffs, but we'll be. calling them the best team in ball. And. Jerry Jones will run with that all off. season. That'll be that'll be an entire. off season of not making the playoffs, but still best team in ball. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] saw it. I mean, that's what we. do. [laughter] That's what that's what.

we are. You saw us. We're electrifying, too. You want to buy a ticket to see. this Dallas Cowboys team. That's what. you want to do. And next year, it's. going to be a different story. It's. going to be a different story. Can't. wait to watch you on the call. Hey, uh. did you see the photo before we get out. of here? You saw a photo of your boy. lined up with his team protecting the. logo. >> Uh did not did not. >> You'll be proud of your boy. You'll be. proud of your boy. He's standing there. in the line. There's a photo of Ohio. State guys in the crowd at the big. house. And then there's then there's a.

bunch of Michigan guys like in a crew. Allegedly, they're like protecting the M. or whatever, you know, so it's not. happening. And you'll see in the one. photo number 15 Herb Street right there. on the right side. And I was like. standing with the boys. I like it. He's. in the back. Would like, you know, maybe. we move up to the front there. But I do. appreciate that in that entire thing. And I appreciate the [ __ ] out of that. rivalry as a whole. I like. >> Oh, it's it's so good. So much fun. Those colors on the field together. I I. you can't get enough of that obviously. And I'm old school. Love that Ohio State.

clean old school original whites instead. of doing something crazy. I I love the. look of both the teams and Ohio State. was dominant. You got to just Ohio. State's defense, I'm sure AJ talks about. him all the time. What Matt Patricia, if. he doesn't win the Royals award as a top. assistant, I I'd be shocked. Um their. defense, what is it? Eight points a game. through 12 games. >> Um that that play right there kind of. felt like a turning point. And of. course, people argued about this one. I. don't know if it would have mattered a. whole lot. Um you know, him bobbling the. ball there. Some people wanted that to.

be a touchback, but Ohio State just so. many playmakers played with good. discipline and I was in the tunnel with. the two teams. Oh, there they're there. Is that what you're talking about? >> Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking. about. You see 15 right there? You see. 15. >> There he is. >> Y I'm going to show you some texts that. Wink sent me um over the weekend that. you you'll appreciate and and and like, but because he was with him every week. this year down on the scout team, but. imagine being a freshman quarterback and. Wink Martindale is your defensive. coordinator. you're learning from and.

competing against and really really what. a what an opportunity to grow, you know, as a young buck. >> Oh, yeah. >> He had a great year doing that. >> Good for Chase. All right. We appreciate. the hell out of you, man. >> All right, dudes. >> Ladies and Tricker. [applause]. >> All right, let's get some overreactions. >> Oh, Aaron Andrews said she had an. overreaction for us. Was that about her. getting misqued basically out of. context? >> I would assume so. What an absurd thing to happen. I can't.

believe those people did that to her. >> Wait, that's what they do? >> Yeah, >> that's kind of their entire thing. That. was [ __ ] up. Aaron Andrews is OG in. the game. >> Uhhuh. >> She's given a lot of time of her life to. the football. >> Oh, yeah. >> She was doing the games in Morgantown. whenever we were playing, whenever I was. playing there. I assume a couple Yukon. games probably playing against us if I. had to guess. But you're talking about. just like. >> serving time to football and like always. seemingly loves ball. >> Never like anything else. So to be like. Aaron Andrews, this lady is a. >> she's ping because she can't go home to.

her family on Thanksgiving and. Christmas. >> I don't like that anybody like bought it. though because EA is always like. >> can't remember who quote tweeted it too. and it was like definitely someone who. should have known better. >> Oh yeah, a lot of lot of people should. have known better. >> Yeah. >> Yo, EA is like a she's a positive force. for. >> part of the institution. >> She's she's positive force for ball. I. like getting quoted out of context. though is a crazy thing that happens on. the internet these days and there's. gonna be people that just run with that. narrative for the rest of their life and. they're never going to be corrected and. that's okay. Can't wait to run into them. in public. That's always an enjoyable.

time. On that note, let's get to some. overreaction, shall we? This is what. Monday is all about. Put out a tweet. that says, "Hey, listen. Uh why don't. you let us know how you feel about your. football team? Let them all out. You. will not be judged. No, you'll actually. be celebrated. All you got to use is. >> I don't want to overreact, >> but. >> we had some good ones earlier. I don't. know. Uh I don't know if we need to keep. doing that on ESPN cuz it holds back the. limitations of what we're able to put up. there. >> Tai had like a couple different options. that we had to pull back.

>> Yeah. Had to pull because those things. are just plastered right on the screen. People walk through the airport, especially with the delays today. >> Jesus, that says [ __ ] like eight times. >> Jeez. Is that even a Yeah. So, we had. dial it back. But shout out to the. overreactions making it on to ESPN. And. shout out to you for participating. This. became a trending topic. This is from. Dave Krat at Dave Krat9. # I don't want. to overreact. But the Chicago Bears are. the number one team in the NFC. The. Bears thought they will live in darkness. for eternity, but a [ __ ] stallion. showed up and changed everything. Green.

Bay, get ready to meet your new dad. Good bear, best never let it rest. Bear, >> shout out to Chicago. They do have a. guy. >> Yeah, big time. certainly have a guy. >> I think that's that was my tweet after. watching that game and then seeing him. shirtless. It's like, oh, >> Ben Johnson's a [ __ ] guy. Like that. is certified at this point. So quick. into his head coaching career, so fast. turnaround and then he's also still. jacked. So I got massive respect for. what he's done, AJ. And we talked about. it earlier. He's put his culture in,

which I think is the hardest thing to. institute. >> Yeah, I feel like he's gotten his. culture kind of set pretty early earlier. than expected earlier in the season. I. mean, it was doom and gloom for a little. bit throughout. Remember all like the. mistakes they talk about during training. camp, him restarting practice. And we I. remember we took it as a good thing. Say, "Hey, no, Ben Johnson's not messing. around. He's holding these guys. accountable." Like he is he's letting. them know that the standard is very very. high here. And I feel like, man, how. many wins they have? What, eight of the. last nine? Something like that. Yeah. Whatever it is, like they this is not. what it looked like the first couple.

weeks of the season, I think. And the. fact that Caleb is playing so well and. Ben Johnson, I mean, great coaches, they. kind of cater and they craft things. They put their players in position to. make plays and how they can run the. ball, man. Like, this is that's. something that travels. And the good. thing is what they play the Packers two. times still uh in the rest of this. season. So, we will truly get to see who. really uh who runs the North, I guess. >> Yeah. Who runs the North? Who's the. shirtless coach of the North? It's Ben. Johnson forever and ever. And Swift's. nickname was Philly is what they called. him. So going back to Philly playing. against him, uh I thought he would have.

a big day. They go for 281 on the. ground, which is obviously the most that. a serrian le team has ever given up. And. a lot of people talking about Chicago. Bears just bullied the Eagles basically. They just bullied the Eagles and it's. that's exactly what Ben Johnson wanted. We spend all the money on offensive line. as soon as he gets there. Just like this. Texas Tech team, basically soon as he. gets there, hey, what do we need to fix? Offensive line. I I want all the good. offensive linemen that are available. right now. How much we paying whatever. the [ __ ] we need to pay for it. It's. like that's that's as soon as you get. there knowing that that's the right. move. And then if you get Caleb to buy.

in, which he has seemingly, and then the. rest of that team, it's like golly, it's. magic what can happen to a place. Chicago's alive again. >> Yeah. And you mentioned the offensive. line. Someone put out a great kind of. encapsulation of Joe Tuni and his entire. career. He basically was part of the end. of the Patriots dynasty. Unbelievable. Best guard in football. Then he goes to. the Chiefs, you know, wins two or three, what, whatever the hell it is. And now. with the Bears, I mean, he is kind of. the prototypical guard you would want, especially for a young quarterback, just. because I mean, you guys have talked.

about it. Having a vet on that offensive. line is so huge. Like Darnell Wright's. great. I think he's in his second or. third year, so not really a vet like Joe. Toney just being there helping him out. is huge. >> Yeah. Here's the tweet you're referring. to. The Patriots drafted Joe Tony in. 2016. He won three AFC Championships and. two Super Bowl titles. New England. hasn't won a playoff game since he left. Then he joined the Chiefs for four. years, won three more AFC's and uh two. Super Bowl titles. Now he's joined the. Bears and they're eight and three, nine. and three now and uh on their way and.

Kansas City obviously feels the loss. without him. Wild turn of events. >> and obviously a guy like that is going. to have the impact he has on the field, but the impact that he has in the locker. room and things we'll never see like. that's that's priceless. Like it's guys. who don't get the credit outside the. building, but they know we know what. kind of guys they are inside the. building. So for them to turn this. around with because all all everybody. talked about is how they built this team. with the first round picks at wide. receiver and you get a quarterback like. Caleb Williams can't even win in Chicago. in that type of weather. Um and then see. them come out and bully teams and now at.

this point what five games one in. November that's when we talk about real. football starts in NFL. And then they're. getting healthier on defense. Their. backers will be back at some point but. they get Kyler Gordon back getting. Jaylen Johnson back which when he's in. his prime he's one of the best corners. in the league. So, I mean, Arrow's only. up for the Chicago team. >> The Bears, the Kings of the North. Oh, no. >> We'll find out. They played the Packers. two times in the next 3 weeks. And I. think this is the game on Sunday will be. the most impactful Bears Packers game. since like 2013. In the last week of the.

season, it was winner take all for the. division. Like there there hasn't been a. Bears Packers game with this much juice. in 12 years, which is crazy, but that's. the way that that's the way it should. be. on a collision course of rivalry. greatness for the next 101 15 years. Can't wait to watch. Let's go to the. next overreaction. This from Phil Huer. They call him the Hughes. # I don't want. to overreact, but the Eagles are [ __ ]. dead. Their brain dead head coach and. dumbass offensive coordinator lost them. not only the one seed, but are now going.

to lose the NFC East. These [ __ ]. couldn't scheme Jerry [ __ ] Rice. [laughter] open. 2023 all over again. Generational offense ruined by these. dopes. A lot of that coming out of. Philly. Yeah, a lot of that. People are. sick of Sirriani as well and the Pulo. stuff. I mean, this has been going on. since week two. And as you can imagine, you know, when Sirriani came out and. said, "Hey, we're not making any. changes. Philly fans were pretty calm. and and normal.". >> Yeah. The Hughes certainly said, "Okay, yeah, we're not doing anything. We like. our guys, huh? Is that what we're. doing?" Well, we're about sick of it. over here. Now, Sirriani, unless he is.

making a full change, cannot say. anything negative publicly about a coach. in his staff. Now, if he makes the move. and decides to move on from Pulo, then I. think he could say something publicly. But watching the Eagles the way they are. and the way they got beat up, you know, I think I saw Orlovski or somebody say. earlier today like the way the defense. is playing in Philly is as if they. understand that the offense is shite and. [laughter]. it's like you can break them basically. And I think I saw CJ GJ maybe. Uh. >> yes, cuz he's on the Bears now. >> I think CJ GJ said I told you they fold.

or something like that. It's it's almost. like the Philadelphia Eagles are waiting. for a reason to not win a game, you. know, and it's like I think that all. goes back to the vibes around it. So. much drama, so much controversy. I don't. know how they were able to win a Super. Bowl win at it all, but if anybody can. turn around, I guess it would be Sirani. in this Eagles team. Good luck to them. The Bears are for real. Let's go to the. next overreaction. This is from Mitchell. Canley at PHX Streer. Okay, sick. # I. don't want to overreact, but Detroit's. flash has burned out in the pan. This.

season is a wrap and next year will be. even worse. Another new offensive. coordinator. Another offensive line. rebuild. Limited draft picks. Bottom. third in cap space. Vets departing. I. don't know, man. But 23 was their only. shot. >> Foxy ass and cheeks. >> Oh no. >> Across the whole board or what's going. on up there, dude? >> I don't agree with this overreaction. Okay, this year, yeah, it's going to be. tough to make the playoffs. We can. probably only afford to lose one more. game and we have some tough ones coming.

up. But with all that being said, I. think next year, easier schedule, guys. will be healthier. MCDC will hire an OC. so he doesn't have to be OC. I think. that's a big deal. And I think we'll be. a-ok. Okay. We still got the dogs. We. still got the players. We're still. young. It's just been a tough year. Tough schedule. The whole thing. I'm not. not losing all hope yet, but. >> Well, you sound bummed out. >> I'm definitely bummed out. This weekend. was uh a kick in the. >> Sound like you're trying to talk. yourself into that opinion, Fox. [laughter]. >> Yeah. You read that from somebody else. and now you're trying to buy into it or.

what? >> No, I just I try not to lose a lot of. hope, but Thursday we get our ass kicked. by the Packers. We got to play the best. team in the league in the Cowboys and. then we got to play the best team in the. NFC in the Rams. I mean, this is. >> it's it's not looking good right now. >> Sorry, it was fun to go around. >> Just glad I'm not a Michigan fan and had. to eat that one, too, because there was. a lot of people that are Lions fans and. Michigan's fans. That's tough. Yeah, they they caught a little one two there. And Michigan State now go green. >> No white Pat Fitzgerald era. Here we go.

Come on, boys. >> That might be the best hire of the. coaching cycle. [laughter]. >> Why? No one else clapped. >> There's a lot of things. There's a lot. of things. >> Feels like a good hire. It was a good. hire, man. >> I think it was a great hire. As soon as. I saw it come across the uh Algo, I was. like, uh, Fitzgerald, I forgot he was. available available. He just got done. with a lot of things about a lot of. things. I think he's on a revenge tour. And also, hey, what they said about me, what is kind of his run right now. And. he won games at Northwestern. I don't. think they had a lot of guy, you know, like I think.

>> went to a Big 10 championship. >> From what? Yeah, exactly. From what I've. been told too, Michigan State does have. some money behind it. >> Yeah, exactly. I think it's a great fit. Underdog, chip on the shoulder, everything Michigan State represents. And then allegedly there's even more. money coming, BUT WHO KNOWS? WE'LL SEE. >> Maybe Michigan State runs the Big 10. now. >> They might. I mean, unfeed in basketball. right now. >> Oh, really? >> Hey, hold on though. Who is the team. that beat the [ __ ] out of everybody? There was a a college basketball team. that won by 30. >> Michigan. >> Michigan is for real. [laughter].

>> They look good. >> They were the first team ever to uh beat. three tournament teams from the season. before by 30 to start a season. I guess. I guess they won by like 40, one by 35, and one by. >> They played Gonzaga in like championship. of whatever like Thanksgiving week. tournament. And it was in Ken Pom, you. know, which is what a lot of people use. for like the best basketball teams in. America's rankings. It was the highest. ever non-conference one. And they beat. Gonzaga by like 40. >> What? >> They're killing. They're killing. everybody right now. Yeah, >> they're very good. >> The Big 10 is a problem. Iowa's good.

Michigan State's good. Michigan's good. Illinois is good. >> Indiana. >> Is Indiana good? >> They're undefeated. >> The Big 10 is a wagon. >> They're undefeated. THIS GUY. YEAH, of. course he is. His boy shooting the ball. really. >> His boy's a good player. Yeah, >> he is. We didn't get to see a lot of him. at West Virginia last year. Funny how. that works out. [laughter] [ __ ] guy. >> How's WVU at hoops? >> I think we're bopping wood. >> Bringing it. >> I think we're going. >> Russ Hodge's boys got him got him going. in the right direction. >> Yeah, Rick Patino's boy just uh his team.

Xavier, they came in and beat West. Virginia and they stink. But outside of. that, they look good. >> West Virginia, we lost again. [laughter]. >> Yeah, Xavier handled them. >> Well, that's the thing. We're still. trying to find who. >> I I get it. >> We got good recruits coming in though. We had the highest highest ranked crew. in the history of basketball coming in. >> Kevin might go over. >> They're six and two. >> Okay. >> Talking about Okay. >> And we're trying to get better by March. They say January. >> Don't you play like onea teams the first. like six or seven games? >> No. >> Usually most squads do.

>> I don't know about any of. >> what I've seen. >> I don't know about any of that. I don't. know about any of that. >> Getting Huggy Bear back. They need Huggy. Bear. We know that. >> it's January, February. >> is all. No, we're talking about the West. Virginia coach right now and his last. name is. >> H. It's January, February, Hodge, April. >> It's a new one. >> Not may look forward to it. >> Okay, that's his name. Jeez. Let's get. to the next. We beat the [ __ ] out of. Pit. I know that. 7149.

>> Pit beat Ohio State on a buzzer beater. >> Oh, ipso facto. West Virginia would run. the [ __ ] Big 10. Okay, [laughter] now. that we have everything understood, >> come on over. Well, we need Texas Tech. to get out of the Big 12. We need them. >> take them first. >> Just too good. Too much money. >> Then. >> smart money, not just money. It's like. >> I know. >> calculating. >> young young people with money as well, too. That will continue to give as you. keep winning. >> And they again, they build up their. sweets. Their sweets. They get their. sweets are the nicest sweets I've ever. seen. Brand new. They want to come to.

the games. >> They're also very good at basketball. >> They are very. >> and softball. They spend a million. bucks. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. four. >> They would like their sports. >> Yeah. National championship. >> Yeah. >> Uh Kennedy. >> Niger. Yeah. Niger Kennedy. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Every game she bitched. >> Yep. >> Dog. >> Dog lost in the finals. She's back. there, right? I. >> think so. I think so. Yeah. >> They've been to how many haven't they. been like three straight Elite Eights? >> On that note, Crooks. >> Crooks just went crazy. >> Yeah. >> You see where Crooks.

>> Crooks just went absolutely crazy. Look. out for the Cyclones winning it all this. year. If she's gonna continue to do the. stuff that she does on a basketball. court, I don't know how anybody stops. her. Honestly, I have no idea how. anybody stops her. You can't stop her. She gets the rock and she just goes and. does whatever she wants and ends up in a. It ends up a bucket. >> She's a weapon. She's Who? They're the. odds on favorite to win national. championship. >> I doubt it. Hell no. South Carolina. >> What are you talking about? >> [ __ ] no. I love big body Audi, but we.

got Sarah Strong. We got dogs at Yukon. YUKON, YOU GUYS, your coaches got to. Colorado State 15th. >> What's that? >> They're 15th in odds to win the 90. >> Like that value. >> Anything can happen. >> I'll take that. >> Connecticut's the favorite. >> Where's Fair? >> Okay. South Carolina, Texas. >> All right, let's get to another. overreaction, [laughter] shall we? IT'S. [ __ ] BRITNEY. # I don't overreact, but. >> I've had it with this [ __ ] Steeler. team. I'd rather be tortured in a North.

Korea prison where my teeth ripped out. one by one than watch another snap of. this [ __ ] sad sack of a [ __ ] team. Fire Tomlin and coaching staff into the. [ __ ] sun. Not the moon. No, >> the sun. >> Now, I do assume that [ __ ] Prinny. here, bucking Prinny here will, much. like Tone, have positive thoughts about. coach Tomlin if there was to be a. parting of ways in some time to pass. But boy, these Steelers fans are sick of. punting on football season basically is. what they're doing. They look forward to. and gear up the football season and then.

within the first three weeks of the. year, they know if their team can win a. Super Bowl or not. And for the last 10, it's just been like, no, we can't. And I. think they'd like to enjoy the fall. They'd like to see a little bit of. change. I don't want to speak out. >> They would like to enjoy the fall. Also, these [ __ ] showed um some bright. spots in the first month of the season, so it made it worse. We thought, you. know, maybe this team can do it. Maybe. they'll get better. Nope. They've gotten. worse uh every single week. >> Leads at halftime at home.

>> against a lot of teams, but they lose by. double digits to Seattle Seahawks, Green. Bay Packers, and now the Buffalo Bills. with the lead at half. You got Yzers. flocking down there. It's hard to get. down there. We got tunnels, hills, traffic. I mean, a lot of [ __ ] to get. down there. They get all the way down. there in the cold, get in that stadium, and this team [ __ ] loses by two. scores at least. >> Yeah, [ __ ] right. >> They run the same running play 20 times. for 26 yards. >> That was tonight. >> So disheartening. >> Josh Allen was laughing. >> Don't [ __ ] run renegade.

>> Josh Allen was laughing. >> He was laughing on his touchdown. I. mean, it was like one of the most. disrespect like non-Pittsburgh things. I. mean, he's in the end zone laughing like. that is just not what any of us I mean. Oh my god. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. He's cooking bacon. in his underwear. >> Mhm. >> In Pittsburgh. >> Huh? >> I used to be a fan of his. >> [ __ ] up. You used to be a fan of who? >> Josh Allen. He reminded me of seven. No, any more seven wouldn't do any [ __ ]. like that. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

>> Well said. [laughter]. >> Let's get to the next one, shall we? Jeez Louise. This is from Salvi at. Salvi93. Go Bills. # I don't want to. overreact, but the Bills just ran. through the steel curtain like it was a. tissue paper table at a tailgate. Old. man Rogers was nearly driven back to. Iawaska town. Let the Bengals come and. get declawed, then off to Foxboro to get. our [ __ ] chain back. # Billsmafia. You feeling good about the Bills after. the ass beating they just gave to the. Pittsburgh Steelers? I think I am.

>> I think that was like a morale builder. Big confidence boost for the Buffalo. Bill Beals team. They really came. together. Anytime you have success. running like this Yeah. Especially when. you don't have to get all uh you know, you're not throwing anything crazy at. them. You're not trying to trick them. You're just pretty much letting them. know, hey, we're we're running right. here, pal. You got to figure out a way. to stop us. And when they could not stop. you. Yeah. I think that's a thing that. not only your O line, but your whole. team kind of gains a lot of confidence. from. >> Congrats to the Buffalo Bills. >> They're two starting tackles. We're out. just so everybody knows that, too. >> Yeah. So, they're only going to get. better. >> Demoralized. But no, Bills,

I don't think they scare anybody to top. right now. >> Whoa. So, what are you saying about the. Steelers? what we've been saying for the last. three three and a half hours. They. absolutely stink. But uh [laughter] the. Bills you got Josh Allen, but I don't. think Yeah. You're not going to be able. to run the ball down and throw, you. know, the Broncos, the Patriots, like. you're not going to be able to do that. >> The other team that they mentioned in. that overreaction, the Bengals, if. anything kind of feeling pretty good. about the Bengals, they they just forced. Lamar into four turnovers. It was.

insane. >> On that note, here is another. overreaction from Carly Stalard. Hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but Joe Burr. is back. It's December 1st and Joey B is. 18 and4 in his career in December. Don't. look now, but the Cincinnati Bengals run. the table and sneak into the playoffs, especially with the Ravens and Steelers. both being assur. You know, uh Joey Burrow as a starter, 8-0 his last eight games. >> He's good. >> Okay, he wins whenever he's playing. Now, the Baltimore Ravens, we all have a.

lot of questions about and why this. season has gone the way that it's gone. and where they are and all that type of. [ __ ] We will certainly be talking about. that this off seasonason, but with the. Cincinnati Bengals still having a shot. at this whole thing. And Joey B given. the answer that he gave before, it's a. kids game. We get paid a lot of money to. do it, so I'm going to go do that. Most. relatable thing we've heard from a. starting quarterback in a long time, Joey looks good, debut. Now, none of us. believe that the way their team is. built, they can actually win in the. playoffs. But if they were able to make. it, I think that'd be a hell of a story. coming out of Cincinnati this season.

>> It's kind of the same situation we were. in last year at at this point in the. season. They had to go on a run. They. had their playoffs basically started now. and they can't lose. And that's just a. tough spot to be in as a team, especially with how their team is uh. constructed offensively. Every [ __ ]. even when Burrow was out, they were. going to put up 30, you know, plus. points. But whenever Burrow is taking. snaps and Jamar Chase is out there, they. got a chance to beat anybody on any. given Sunday. um don't have faith in. their defense, but yeah, one of the best. quarterbacks in the league whenever he's. healthy and out there taking snaps. So,

they got a chance week in and week out, especially in this division where nobody. kind of I I don't know what's going on. with Baltimore. Like, their offense just. looks. >> they stink. >> Yeah, they they they stink on both sides. of the ball. They're just not who we. expect them to be at this point in the. season. Lamar doesn't look the same for. whatever reason. Very, very concerned. with kind of everybody right now in the. FC North. >> Joey B can spin that thing. >> Oh, Louise, he can spin it. And it's. just like without missing a like he's. been out on his back and it's just right. on Q. And to your point about last. season, he's been expected to be perfect.

down the stretch and he has been. That's. a that December football talk that Carly. was chatting about. Crazy stuff. Good. for the Bengals. Who's ruler of the. jungle going forward? AJ, you going to. rule the jungle maybe? How you. >> No, I don't think so. I mean, they did. Did they win when Speed was there or no? Was that when Joe Burr camp? >> Yeah, they lost and then he went and. watched MLS game and they lost too. 0. for two. He had a tough run in. Cincinnat. >> He was at war games.

>> He should have been. >> He should be. Yeah, he's good. He's good. at basically [clears throat] everything. I'm pretty. >> Is he the mass man? >> Oh, we don't know. Actually, I think I. know who the mass man was. Just from. looking at it, I think I know that. person. >> I think I know him pretty well. >> Did he have a co match? Something like. that. >> No, he has his ass beat by some women. though. Yeah. >> Okay. >> In the ring. >> Badass women though. Let's not get crazy. here. >> Yeah, it does. >> Was it not a real match? >> Last time. >> he had the teard. He got hit by a teard. bomb by. >> Rodriguez. >> Oh, >> then he took the rocks uh pop rocks from.

Rox saying Perez. >> Oh Jesus. >> Yeah. I I mean he beat out of there. Yeah. Yeah. I mean that's what happens. whenever you mix it up with the. judgment. >> And then L Morgan came and kicked him in. the weewe. She called him John Wina. afterwards. >> That's not right. >> That's clever. >> Yeah, but she it. >> is clever. >> She got him. I mean, she did one of. these live so happy. It's my last PL. Holy [ __ ]. >> Thank you, Liv. And she. I don't think so. [ __ ] wee wee. No.

She backs up. >> Did the fans love that? >> I tell you what, Big Pop Dominic. Mysterio once again, the IC champ. And. uh. >> what? >> Yeah. In San Diego, Petco Park 48,000. >> I did see uh Eio Sky. >> off the top with the. >> Great spot. >> Yeah, it is a good spot. It was. interesting how it all came together, you know, cuz when you go off the top. there as somebody that has been a part. of a war games match, >> boy, it's not just the top of the cage, it's also where your head is, you know, cuz it's where your eyes are. So cage is.

how high and then your head is up there? >> I'll tell you what, looking down looks a. lot further than you thought it was. going to when you were standing up there. or standing on the ground and looking up. there. >> Put a [ __ ]. >> Couldn't imagine. I mean, craziness. Absolutely crazy. >> Those people in the ring like they were. days for so long. >> Yeah, they were. Well, you you kind of. get hypnotized by the whole moment. Look. how high that person is. Boom. >> Mhm. >> You know, that's kind of how it all. goes. >> Good though. Good. >> Let's go. Let's go to the next reaction, shall we? Uh calling Groom at Colin. Groom. # I don't want to overreact, but.

Matt Laflur is in his bag bullying his. way through the NFC North and he's doing. it from his barber's chair. The Packers. will finish the season as the number one. seed in the NFC. # never a doubt. Ty. picks all these overreactions. Why this. one for the Green Bay Packers? just. because uh you know a lot of people have. been [ __ ] on the floor the last. several weeks even when they've been. winning and I thought Thursday you know. he he coached to win that game like they. were very aggressive on fourth down like. they kind of needed to bully the Lions. to do so and uh Diggs has been talking.

about it. I basically want to do. whatever I can to make sure that Jeff. Hafley stays the defensive coordinator. of the Packers. So anytime I can give. the floor all the credit for them. winning and none of it to Jeff Halfley, I'm going to continue to do that. >> That's smart play. That's an ownership. move. That's what you are. You're an. owner of this Packers team. AJ, they got. obviously the Bears a couple times down. the stretch. You think the Packers. showcased on Thanksgiving that they can. be a team that can actually win a Super. Bowl? >> Oh, absolutely. And that's what I think. almost because we had a lot of great. games yesterday. Like you forget about.

what these guys did on Thanksgiving Day. But yeah, this was uh this is one of. those things we talked about. This could. have been a little turning point for the. Green Bay Packers this year where they. kind of put their foot on the gas and. don't look back now. >> Jack White and Eminem. >> Great. Yeah, boys. [applause]. >> Absolute. >> domination of a halftime show. You know, a lot of people might not know all of. Jack White's work or all of the White. Stripes work and then you realize when. you're watching, oh, this guy's a. [ __ ] rock star. Yeah. Will he be. entertaining? Yeah, the [ __ ] rockstar. will be entertaining. I think it will.

And the fact that he's actually playing, you know, the fact that he's actually. playing, actually singing, and I like. the way they set it up with the tight. crowd, active crowd. Obviously, this is. Eminem directing it and producing it. And then him coming out to Till I. Collapse off of the cadence call. That's from one of the mixtapz, I think, from way back in the day. I think it was. perfect. I I think it was absolutely. perfect and set the tone, you know, for. what halftime shows can be. Post Malone. in Dallas, I think, you know, having to. follow Jack White and Eminem is.

certainly not a great spot to be in. You. know, Post Malone obviously platinum. certified absolute beast. Didn't have as. much. Didn't have any guest appearances. didn't have any surprise dropins. And. then Lil John, anybody I saw him in the. morning at the Macy's parade. >> I saw him at the Macy's parade. >> Didn't see him. >> I think they had him up on like uh like. you know where you walk out and there's. like a landing area in a stadium. I. don't know. >> Like right behind the goalpost. >> Yeah, it felt like he was up on one of. those as opposed to on Feel a little. John. Let him [ __ ] explore the space. Let him explore the space out.

>> Oh, he turned up the [ __ ] Macy's. Thanksgiving Day parade. He turned it. up. He showed up in there and literally. everybody even in your living room you. had to McKenzie my daughter started then. K-pop girls went. >> the demon hunters. >> Yeah, demon hunters. >> Huntress or something like that. They're. [ __ ] good at getting demons and. singing. >> catchy tunes. Daughter loves it. All. right, last one here from sleeper. chiefs. Hash I don't want to react, but. the Chiefs are dead until we're not. after we beat Houston. Win and look. great, lose and look pitiful. Nothing.

makes sense. Nobody knows what the hell. is going on in the league. The AFC is. wide open and we might miss the freaking. dance. I don't even want to be around. anymore. All right, on that note, that's. football, baby. Let's watch tonight. Who. do you have again? >> Patriots. >> Me as well. Debbut. >> I go with the Giants cover. Okay, >> I like that. Dut boys, great work. Let's. enjoy the hell out of this. It's. December. It's meaningful football time. We can't thank you enough for allowing. us to be a part of your life and for. doing this for a living. Uh you're the. greatest people on earth. Be a friend.

Tell a friend something nice. It might. change your life. We're in this thing. together. Team on me. TEAM ON THREE. ONE, TWO, THREE. GOODBYE.
