This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You. >> stop. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. [music]. sports. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome. [music] to our humble abode, the. Thunderdome on this massive overreaction.

Monday, December 29th, 2025. This. program begins now. Football. >> is the greatest. We're so incredibly. lucky that we get a chance to chat about. it. And we're here, you know, we're. going into the last week of the NFL. season. 18 weeks just like that. Bang. Week 17 just wrapped up. And. congratulations to three new teams who. locked up their division. Congratulations to the Denver Broncos. First time in a decade. It's a long. time. Congrats to the New England.

Patriots. >> Wow. Guess who's back on top. And. congratulations of that incredibly. strong NFC North, the Midway Monsters, the Chicago Bears. Obviously, the Eagles. won their division last weekend, so they. will not be added to the just winning. their division teams, but certainly four. of the divisions have been earned in. this weekend. There is a [ __ ] ton of. football that means so much. Congratulations to the NFL schedule. makers. Feels like you got it right here. the last couple weeks of the season. And.

as we head into super wild card weekend, then the divisional round, then the. play, then then it's we're here. >> We got to enjoy every single moment. College football playoffs down to its. final 18. >> Playoffs are literally just next weekend. for the NFL. Whenever you talk about, wow, we made it. We did make it to the. most important time of football. But we. got to remember it is finite. We do not. have a lot of time left. So every moment. we get a chance to talk about live ball, actual ball, drama around ball, overreaction to ball while it's.

happening, we must enjoy the hell out of. it. Now, was there 90 mph winds here in. Indianapolis last night and I believe. across the entire Midwest? Certainly. Is. it cold as hell? Absolutely. But that's. what comes with this time of year. Whenever the games mean the most, the. weather's normally going to be shite in. half the country. But when that shitness. comes alive, it's whenever we find out. who's real, who's not, who's contenders, who's pretenders, who's Super Bowl. champions, and who's a team that needs. to knock it all down and build it back. up. Is that the Indianapolis Colts?

>> Yeah, >> they're not the only ones. There's a lot. of people that are already asking that. question. Is there still a week of ball. left? Who's going to go and win. Lombardi? seemingly could be anybody. this year and last night was definitely. the greatest game we've had all season. Football's throwing its fast ball and. we're incredibly lucky we get a chance. to chat about it and oh yeah, the. geniuses running the TGL launched their. second season at 3:00 yesterday, week. 17, Sunday. Do they have any brains over. there? I have no idea. The talks the. tables here at Boston Connor and at Ty. Schmidt. Congrats to you, Con, man. >> Yeah, thank [applause] you very much. Good to be back on topic.

>> One half of the hammer down Cowboys AP. Tony's here. Congrats to you, man. made. a big time week 18 Sunday night football. game with a loss to the Browns this. weekend. Pittsburgh Steelers. Good job. >> Good job, Tony. >> You got a chance to win AC North and get. in the playoffs. So, all you got to do. is win one game at home against. Baltimore Ravens. Congratulations. >> Prime time. >> Mhm. >> Troy density. Come on now. >> You guys lost to Shadore Sanders and. Cleveland Browns. Listen, Shador had a. couple balls that maybe weren't the. prettiest, but they were touchdowns, weren't they? >> That's right. >> Yeah. And maybe there was a couple. turnovers. Maybe. You know what time is,

>> [ __ ]. >> Perfect timing. [laughter] That's what. it is right now. It's perfect timing in. Cleveland. Miles Garrett didn't get the. sack record though against Pittsburgh. Steelers. Heard that's all you guys care. about. Hey, way to go Steelers. >> What an idiotic game plan to try to stop. the best player uh on the defensive side. of the ball in this league. Yeah, just. should have let him get five, six sacks. Probably would have won the game ball. Just a calamity of errors. You see that. balloon ball which was a genius decision. by Sher cuz Kyle Duggar had no idea. where it was because it was so high and. floated for so long. So genius situation.

there. >> Good ball. >> That's true. That's a touchdown throw. >> Yeah. Unfortunately, um Herbig, who I. love, dropped the pick six. Uh Steelers. were three of 15 on third down, 0 for. three on fourth down. Bos, who never. misses, missed a field goal. And then, um Aaron thought that uh MBS was prime. Megatron. [clears throat] Um because uh. Dealin punched some blue-haired freak in. the mouth. >> Ryan Kennedy. >> Learn more about Ryan Kennedy. And Ryan. Kennedy spoke on Friday about wanting.

the truth to be told. And we would like. to let Ryan Kennedy know we're on. We. hope the truth does come out and we. could very much understand if he was. getting attacked for something that he. certainly didn't do that he would call a. press conference. But boy, DK not being. on the Pittsburgh Steelers is very. evident in most important part of the. game. And uh MBS gets targeted three. straight times with Denzel Ward covering. him. Denzel Ward was uh interviewed. after the game and actually said, "I. didn't expect to get targeted three. times in that particular situation, but. I was obviously ready for it. I was. obviously ready for it." Pittsburgh's. Steelers say that was also a pass. interference. Was it what are we even. doing? And Cleveland Browns say, "Who.

cares? We won our fourth game. Thank you. so much. Miles Garrett does not have the. record just yet. It will take into 17th. game for him to get the record. So. obviously there'll be an asterisk on the. rest of the conversation, but the. Pittsburgh Steelers now have Sunday. night football against Baltimore Ravens. for the AFC North and a playoff birth. Good for football. Sucks for people in. Pittsburgh and Baltimore who have been. living this entire season as if it was a. Kennywood steel coaster, which is what. it's all about. Nine-year NFL vet, Derry. J. Butler's here. >> Very much, good to see you. Great. weekend of ball, man. a lot of football. since Christmas until now.

>> Lot of great football, a lot of. tickytack calls, but a lot of great. football and ended with Sunday Night. Football last night. >> On that note, we will talk about the. refs at some point. JJ Watt, who. normally joins us on Wednesday, will. join us today in the second hour because. we will not be live on Wednesday. Wednesday, New Year's Eve. We'll. actually be calling uh the Cotton Bowl. from the sideline field pass with all of. us on New Year's Eve for Ohio State in. Miami. We hope you'll spend your New. Year's Eve with us. Okay, we're excited. on ESPN 2. I believe Dave Pash and Dusty. D'vorek will be calling on ABC or ESPN.

We'll be on ESPN 2 on the sideline. Miami, the team that we just watched. beat Texas A&M. Mario Crystal Ball and I. obviously have a double leg takedown on. the in discussions. But what we saw from. their team is a group of dogs. We saw. size. We saw physicality. We saw speed. We saw resolve. We saw grit. We saw. everything out of the Miami Hurricanes. team that makes you believe maybe they. could go on and win a national. championship. And oh yeah, who are they. playing in the Cotton Bowl down there in. Jerry World? Oh, the national champs. Actually, the Ohio State Buckeyes, who. have obviously been seemingly. uncrackable, unflapable until they.

played Indiana in the Big 10. Championship. AJ Hawk will be on the. call as his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes. make their debut in this year's College. Football Playoffs, taking on the Miami. Hurricanes, who already have one game. under their belt. And then on uh New. Year's Day, game day, we'll be live 9. a.m. Eastern time, 6:00 a.m. local in. California. And then we'll be calling. the Rose Bowl at 4 PM in the afternoon. as a field pass as well as Indiana takes. on Alabama. So Wednesday, Thursday,

we're going to be doing a lot of ball. talk from the sidelines. We're so. incredibly lucky that we get to do that. Allegedly, Rose Bowls looking in like. torrential downpour. >> Yep. >> They're saying [clears throat] like. potential real real real bad rain. How. does that change the game? How does that. affect it? We've already seen one game. be completely affected by the wind. 40. 35 mph wind gust. Texas A&M Miami. completely changed that game. How will. the rain and how will these teams be. able to handle the potential weather. coming to the Rose Bowl? We'll be on the. sidelines on ESPN 2. We hope you come. join us. I feel like we're actually not. ass at this stage. My voice last time.

wouldn't keep up with everything. I. listened to it back. I thought it was. going to be insufferable cuz I have to. hear me talk more. And believe me, everything bad said about me, I've said. it about me at least 100 times more than. everybody else. But I feel like when we. call the game, we actually get the story. lines. I feel like we're actually in. there and these coaches are giving us a. little bit of a heads up beforehand on. what their mindset is. It's getting I. don't want to say easier for us, but it. is feeling like we're more comfortable. doing it. >> Absolutely. I I agree with you. It is uh. challenging just from the perspective of. the vantage point that we watch the game. from, but we both we've watched a lot of.

football from that vantage point being. on the sideline watching the games. Uh. that makes it a little challenging, but. yeah, when the games are good, and most. of them have been, uh the matchups, the. players, these are a lot of players that. we'll see on the next level as well. So, it's cool to kind of see them finished. out their college career, playing in the. biggest games, the biggest moments. Trayvon Henderson, who's been great for. the Patriots. We saw him that entire run. last year for Ohio State along with a. bunch of other players. So, that's the. cool part. And just been a part of these. games, man. Like, it's so dope. We're so.

lucky we get to do it. >> So thankful. It's very cool that we even. get to be in there. But what we get to. see, I think, is good for us to know is. people that talk about it every single. day. Yeah. Because once you see somebody. live or a team live, you get a chance to. really see what and who they are. Like. for instance, a Jacksonville Jaguars. team is really good. >> Did we know Josh Hines Allen is actually. the biggest person on a football field. whenever he's on a football field? He's. an actual giant. I I did not know that. former the uh tackler formerly known. Josh Allen, now Josh Hines Allen, is the.

largest dude I've ever seen on a. football field. He dwarfs everybody. And. it's not like is he the tallest guy on. the field? kind of like maybe he might. be. I don't know. Is he the widest guy. on the Definitely the widest guy on the. field and then he's built just like a. normal human. He's so athletic. 65 260. or 255 is what they say it is. That. might be 66 270 at this stage. He was a. giant. I I mean I I I did not know he. was like that. And you got Walker on the. other side for number one or number two.

overall on the other side. He's getting. after it. And then you watch Trevor. Lawrence. This guy's an actual stallion. like whenever he starts running, it's. absurd. His throw is outrageous. And. then there was a couple times, and I. don't know how often they're doing this, but getting a chance to watch it, you. know, at 15 seconds, the uh the play. caller to the quarterback microphone. cuts off. So Liam Cohen's on the. sideline obviously uh offensive guru. genius, he'll flip that thing up when. there's 7 seconds left and just tell. Trevor just like it's in college like, "Hey, we're going right here with this. thing." And then bang, first down, gain.

a 10, gain a nine. And like, well, how. are you able to do that in a lot of. house? like, well, I think Liam Cohen. has a very loud projecting voice or I. also think there was a chance it was a. little bit quiet at certain different. times, but the Colts had to lead in this. game. Phil Rivers was doing his thing. Jonathan Taylor was trying to do his. thing and the Jacksonville Jaguars get a. very gritty win. I mean, congratulations. to the Jacksonville Jaguars. They're a. real team coming off the bus. It's like, hey, that's a team that could go win a. Super Bowl. Then you watch them play and. it's like, wait a minute. And then you. see the ownership. Okay, Shod Khan's. invested a lot in this team, a lot of. time. Look how smooth. Yep. He's done.

that before. That was a very casual. And. we're going to the locker room here. Yep. Very casual. Boom. We keep it. moving. It's almost like the Jags look. like they were built for this moment. And Liam Cohen becomes uh the first ever. firstear head coach to go from four wins. to now 12 wins or whatever in uh. backto-back years. Congratulations to. him because we all saw how it started, right? We checked his coaching resume. before him. He had some time at. Kentucky, I guess. Uh he was at the. Rams. He was quick in Tampa. Does this. guy really have the resume to turn.

around the Jacksonville Jaguars? Then. the Duval thing that happens on day one. Everything that takes place, it's like. what a laughingtock the Jacksonville. Jaguars are going to continue to be. And. then you start watching it through the. year, it's like, oh, they got dogs all. over the place on that defensive side. Oh yeah, they've had top five picks a. lot of times. They got a lot of studs. all over the field. And Trevor Lawrence, is he ever going to be good? Well, let's. get him with an offensive guru and a. bunch of D. That guy always open. He's a. punt returner, too. He's untackable. Number 11. I don't know what his deal. is. That guy needs to relax. Okay, he.

is. I mean, he's everywhere. But this. Jacksonville Jaguars team, you see him. in real life, the respect goes through. the roof. Not that it hasn't because of. what they've been able to do. I forget. how many straight wins they've had. It's. the longest in the history of the. Jacksonville Jaguars franchise. And the. Colts on the flip side have lost six. straight games or whatever. That's. tough. >> Tough sliding for the Colts. >> Jeez. >> Tough sliding for the. >> They were the ones. >> They're our best team in football. >> Yeah, it might be seven games straight. >> Yeah, it was six, I think, going into. yesterday. And guess what? Got good news. Got the. Texans in Houston next week. That could.

become eight. That could become that. become eight straight. So, it's another. year of Indianapolis Colts people trying. to figure out. Okay, we definitely have. excuses cuz our quarterback got hurt and. other people got hurt. But is every year. going to be warranted excuses for the. Colts to stink and miss the playoffs? Uh, it feels like that is what it's. becoming. And I don't you can't. necessarily blame people for the. misfortune that happens on a football. team, especially when it comes to. injuries. But boy, Ballard and Stiken. are it's loud for these two here. And I.

have no idea what the future looks like. We don't have any first round picks for. the next two years, okay? We don't have. either of those because we traded for. Sauce Gardner. Sgard got hurt again. Now, I will say when I saw the number. one on the football field, I was. incredibly pumped. See sauce out there. Did not know he was playing. Saw him on. the field. Yes. Then it play m is made. Comes up a little bit uh limpy. It's. like, oh no, what's going to happen? He's out of the game. So, we haven't. seen a lot of sauce. Obviously, you give. up two ones for a guy, you have a lot of. respect. He put out a tweet that. basically had to reiterate the fact that. he is good at football. I agree, Sos,

you are great at football. But the fact. that we don't have a one this year or. next year and we don't really have a. quarterback in the entire situation that. we're going to have to do with a. potential turnover if that is what. happens, boy, the Colts are in a bad. spot. And the Jags and the Texans. seemingly are in a great spot. And uh. that's awesome. But I have faith in the. big three, okay? And I don't appreciate. what people are doing. People are. putting pictures of Shane Stiken to send. it to me. All of a sudden, everybody. comes Photoshop w uh editing wizard and. just starts putting my dookie song over.

top of things that are happening with. the Colts. It's like I don't like this. And then Jags fans saying hey with love. from Clown Town and it's my song and. it's Ballard Dookie JT dookie dookie. dookie dookie. It's like all right. everybody needs to relax. Congrats to. the Jags. They're a great football team. and congrats to Ball for having so many. incred uh incredible storylines and so. many things to talk about that although. we only have a two threeh hour show. here. We could talk for 10 hours about. all of this. But what we want to do is. whittle it down. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our overreaction Monday.

Top five top five top five headlines in. our eyes driven by Ram. And you know a. Ram truck obviously has the amount of. power that you need to pull anything. >> Oh yeah. >> Whatever you need to pull. >> Anything. >> This whole thing. >> Yeah, you bet. pull it. >> Best towing capacity there is. >> That's right. And it also has the um the. comfort of uh high society without. having to pay the price. And then all. the technology easy to use, which is a. massive thing cuz some of these. futuristic cars you get in it's like you. get a spaceship. It's like I'm not NASA.

What all these buttons and what is going. on? Ram makes it very easy to operate. but also has all the technology you need. to be in the 21st 22nd century if you. need And then when you hit the gas. pedal, the only sound you hear is. cuz the engine is second to none. Now, let's get to the top five headlines, shall we? Number five, long live the. King. King Henry. This guy's special. >> Mhm. >> We saw him in high school. There was. highlights of this thing running down a. football field. Untackable.

[clears throat]. Seemingly the same size he is now. He. has been since he was 16 years old. Then. he goes to Alabama. Yep. Obviously Doug. Sabin said the same thing. We got. something that nobody else has. We got a. defensive end. Who's a running back. here? >> Then he goes to the NFL, goes to the. Titans. What's he do there? Well, for. the first couple years, not great. It's. actually not that great. Not running. behind his pads. I think he's trying to. dance too much. Maybe because the NFL, he didn't think he could be the same. exact guy he was in high school and in. college. Then Eddie George has a. conversation with him, former Titans. legend, and says, "Hey, we dominate. people, okay? You you guys like you and.

me, we're bigger than everybody. We're. stronger than everybody. We work our. asses off. We just run people over.". Derrick Henry started running north and. south in the NFL. And guess what started. happening? Tennessee Titans started. winning ball games. Tennessee Titans. down in Nashville. They weren't supposed. to win ball games. What is this all. about? Well, they rode this man and his. shoulders and his legs to multiple. different heights that they will who. knows if they'll ever see again. And the. Titans are a case study in of itself. All the stars around the NFL right now. seemingly even the coaches are from the. Titans organization within the last 5.

years. They are fully ass and have. completely teared that place down. But. that's a conversation for a different. day. This dude still doing this in. Baltimore at this age, at this stage of. his career is outrageous. This past. weekend against Packers has his seventh. 200yard game in the history of his. career. That's the most 200yard games in. the history of the NFL. He passed Adrien. Peterson and OJ Simpson. OJ, I believe, had five. Uh Adrien Peterson had six and. now Dererick Henry has seven. So.

whenever you think about Adrien I and I. haven't seen OJ Simpson play, I have. seen him run. Oh, >> but whenever you think about Adrien. Peterson and uh Dererick Henry, you're. talking about a style of play where you. can see how people or defenses will. quit, okay? Because it's just a. punishing. We're running with our knees. up. We're running through you. We got a. stiff arm if we need it. That will be a. cartoonish caricature like stiff arm and. they just pound you. And once they get. rolling, especially if it's early, if. you see Derrick Henry pop a couple long. ones in the first quarter, in the second.

quarter, the natural instinct is, well, by the fourth quarter, when these guys. are tired, when these guys have had to. eaten Derrick Henry a few different. times, will they be able to stop him or. will they make business decisions? You. factor that alongside Patrick Ricard in. the backfield, former defensive end. right there, number 42. He's 315, 320. plus, who can run. They can beat you up. if they want to. We did a little. science, okay, for this Derrick Henry. thing because I thought to myself, would. I ever want to stand in front of uh. Dererick Henry? Absolutely not. So, we.

did a little E equals MC². Now, obviously E is energy. Okay? And I'm not. Einstein or Oenheimer. Uh but you get. it. M is mass obviously. C is for. constant, which is the speed of light. Okay? And Einstein said if you took uh. the mass times the speed of light, you. would obviously get uh E. So, let's. [clears throat] go ahead and do the. Derek Henry version of that. He's 252. lbs. He runs 22 mph. Okay, that would be. 5,500 jewels of energy, which is. equivalent to 4590 mph fast ball. simultaneously hitting you.

>> Ouch. >> You're staring in a hole. Derek Henry. says, "Here I come and you're standing. there going, we got 364 days to the next. hockey tri." So, you're at the Gilboard. and there's 45 of them. A 2,000 lb. vehicle moving at 8 miles an hour. Okay, 2,000lb vehicle. I don't know what that. is. I don't know what a normal vehicle. weighs, but a 2,000lb one moving at 8. miles an hour, you're standing right in. front of it. And it's enough energy. obviously he's creating whenever he's. moving at maximum speed to light a room. for 90 seconds. That's pretty cool. >> Okay, so that [laughter] is what Derek. Henry is at this stage and let's go back.

a week. He didn't get the ball for the. final 12 minutes of the game. Then. Harbaugh says, I should have spoke up a. little bit. This game, 36 carries. We're. riding Derrick Henry and the Baltimore. Ravens go into week 18 in a must-win. game for a playoff birth against the. Pittsburgh Steelers seemingly having it. figured out that they need to give the. ball to the alien they have in the back. field and that's Derrick Henry. Daryus. Butler. >> Yeah, it's not hard to figure out. You. have a modern marvel back there running. the football and the the what he's been. able to do throughout his career. You.

mentioned high school, his college, but. what he's been able to do from the NFL. level for this long a time is. unbelievable. Yeah, just give him the. damn ball. So now, you know, you talk. about our sixgame loss streak with the. Colts because of injuries. This team has. been dealing with, you know, dealing. with injuries with their quarterback. Lamar Jackson kind [clears throat] of. all season long. He was out. So Derrick. Henry needed to step up and they gave. him a careerhigh 36 carries, 200 plus. yards and four TDs. Green Bay knew it. was coming. Baltimore knew it was. coming, but it's not it's nothing you. can do about it when you got a guy like.

this. You mentioned all the different. things early on in his career. He was. kind of bouncing and trying to get. outside, going a lot of east and west. running. And once he started getting. downhill and punishing guys like you get. on that second and third level with. linebackers and DBs, nobody wants to. tackle this guy. >> Joins Leenian Thomas in pretty good. company and Jim Brown uh great company. He was the only players in NFL history. with 25 career games of 100 plus rush. yards and multiple rushing touchdowns. Ty, we saw it early with him moving. I. mean he had a touchdown within the first. couple minutes. Second touchdown. followed a suit there. It was like is. Derrick Henry about to have a career.

day? Possibly. Now back with the Titans. Vable. Their entire thing was we're. gonna hand this off to Derrick Henry. Okay. Early might be getting an average. yard per game like a yard and a half, two yards. We don't care. We're going to. stick with it. Do it again. Then by the. third quarter, fourth quarter, it's. going to become wide open. Those little. holes are going to become bigger holes. because Derrick Henry is just going to. wear you down. Wear you down. He started. early against you guys. You were. immediately knowing that you were in a. tough spot whenever he gets rolling like. that. Ty. >> Yeah, definitely. And just, you know,

before that, he actually had the most. rushing yards in the history of Lambeau. Field. And Lambeau Field's been around. for quite some time. So when you put. that in context with everything, like. that's pretty crazy. But yeah, it's one. of those things where it's just it's so. demoralizing cuz once it starts and like. you said, usually you're waiting for. that third quarter, fourth quarter, okay, and and we'll be okay in the first. half. He was unbelievable in the first. half and it's just it's one of those. thing your offense has to play. perfectly. like if you if you're not. scoring on because every time the. Packers would respond and and get a. little momentum they the the the Ravens.

would get the ball back and then. immediately boom eight play 80 yard. drive 12 minutes off. >> and if the Packers go three and out that. defense has to face Derrick Henry again. I mean it is a lot of pressure to keep. the ball and to keep your defense on the. sideline a little bit so you don't have. to eat more at Derrick Henry's knees. I. mean it's a real problem for any of. these teams to have to square off. against the Ravens. >> Yeah, for sure. And and like you said, especially at this part of the season, like if your defense is even like a. little banged up, like you you you don't. have your A+ defense out there. And that. is exactly what happened is, you know,

like they would turn the ball over or. they would score and then the I don't. know if the Ravens had a possession less. than six minutes and all of them were. ending in Derrick Henry touchdowns. >> This is the football that we thought the. Ravens would be able to win with. Now, last week they forget to give him the. ball and it was I think it was last year. when Harball came out and said, "We're. not going to be giving Derrick Henry the. ball 20 plus times and then they started. giving him the ball 20 plus times. They. started winning." This year, for some. reason, they don't want to give him the. ball in certain games and think bad. things happen. Then they give him the. ball and great things happen. What is. it? They're just worried he's going to.

get hurt. They don't think he can do. what he is. What do you think it is. about the Ravens potentially not using. him all the time? And do you think. they'll ever make that mistake again. after he literally breaks the record. books at Lambo and in the NFL? It's. almost like, hey, we have Lamar Jackson, we're giving him $200 million. Let's use. him as much as possible. And because of. that, everybody else kind of falls by. the wayside. But I saw a stat that's. interesting. Snoop Huntley has their. only two victories over 500 uh teams. So, it's it's something to think about. like, oh, okay, when Lamar goes out and. they focus on Derrick Henry, is that one. of those things where, hey, they have.

more success and no one ever wants to. have this conversation. There are, you. know, 28 teams that want Lamar Jackson. at quarterback. But when they do focus. on Derrick Henry, they have more. success. >> Okay. And on that note, number four. headline in the NFL, the inevitable. Okay. If you grew up in. one of these cities, I think you. understand that this was inevitable. Sunday Night Football, the Pittsburgh. Steelers in Acer Stadium will host the. Baltimore Ravens. One of the greatest.

rivalries in all of sport, certainly in. the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens and the. Pittsburgh Steelers will be battling not. just for an AFC North title, but you. lose, you go home. >> Playoff birth means maybe we can go on a. run. Derrick Henry, if he gets into the. playoffs, is there any team that's going. to be able to stop them for four. quarters if they're able to do it? And. on defensive side, are they ever going. to be able to just flip the switch and. become great at defense? Cuz they got. stars all over the place. I'm watching. that game and I'm seeing big name, big. name. I know that guy. I know that guy. I know that guy. How come their ass on.

the defensive? How come they haven't. been fantastic? Well, let's just say. they turn it on and Dererick Henry's. able to do his thing. Are the Baltimore. Ravens going to be able to win a playoff. game this year? Maybe. If you have a. home playoff game, maybe. And the. Pittsburgh Steelers, they go all in on. the off seasonason. They're trying to. win a Super Bowl. Team's hot. We're. doing it. Then we cool off. Just lose to. the Cleveland Browns. >> Oh my god. But who cares? It's Cleveland. and you move on. You win on Sunday Night. Football and you're in the playoffs. This was inevitable. And Tone, I think.

you were staring it down for the last. few weeks and you're bummed out about. it. It feels like. >> Yeah, it was inevitable. I am bummed. out. Um soon as and this is why I was. rooting so hard for the Packers on. Saturday night. You know, put out the. hashtaggo tweet. um soon as they lost I. all Steelers fans pretty much had a good. idea of what was going to happen. yesterday because Ravens Steelers week. 18 Sunday night football was the. inevitable is the thing that we are. going to all have to go through once we. move past the disappointment of. yesterday we'll then be able to focus on.

this matchup and whether uh Steelers or. Ravens have a chance in it. Steelers the. last three weeks have given up 785 and. 63 yards rushing. So that will be the. game them versus Derrick Henry and we. should feel good um because we we didn't. dominate it. We won 2722 uh the first. match up this season, but they scored. ton 10 10 unanswered in the fourth. quarter. Um but you know it's it's just. something right now I'm just mad that. it's happening. >> Yeah, it does feel like you have a lot. of negativity and if you make it in the.

playoffs, you're going to have to play a. prime time game. You know, it feels like. he doesn't want a prime time game cuz he. doesn't want the world to see prime time. Pittsburgh Steelers. last game of the. year. >> cuz then his mentions become pretty. wild. But I like the fact that this is. Sunday night football. I like that it's. Aaron Rodgers and his Pittsburgh. Steelers team playing for life or death. for their season, not for actuality. And. Hembo center stat. This will be the. second time that Aaron Rogers will play. in a win or go home game for the. division title in the final week of the. season. The other came in 2013 against. the Bears leading the Packers to a 33-28.

victory and a late touchdown. Randle. Cobb in the final minute. This is what. we have here actually. It's 28-27. 46. seconds left. Fourth and eight. Aaron. [screaming] Rogers. Magic to that stud. That handsome blueeyed Randle Cobb. Those were the good old days, Ty, weren't they? >> Yeah, they certainly were. >> Ben Johnson's done on the sideline for. that Bears team. And that was before. they were good, better, or best. And. that was when they were letting it rest. instead of never letting it rest until. the good became better. And their better. became best. Bears are certainly a. different team now than they were then.

Jay Cutler obviously smoking Jay. We're. certainly a fan of him as a human, but. the Green Bay Packers getting a late win. or go home touchdown like that is. special. Will that be the same thing. that happens on Sunday night with the. Pittsburgh Steelers? Do you think the. Pittsburgh Steelers have a shot against. this Baltimore Ravens team who seemingly. just found who they were in week 17. going into the biggest game of the year? >> Yeah, in that last matchup, a big reason. the Steelers won is because DK DK Met. came big game and now DK won't be there. We saw, you know, the guys who were.

there when the game was on the line. So, I think I think they'll be missing. number four. And I think the Ravens. will, whether Lamar plays or not, I. think they're going to lean heavy on 22, keep giving the ball and force the Sil. to show up and stop him. We'll see if. they can do it. But I I like the Ravens. going into this one. >> Yeah, I it's going to be hard. Nah, it's. Aaron Ro. Just remember, guy just ran. for 236. So, I mean, it's going to be. hard not to think about all these things. as we're picking this game. We don't. have to do that today. We'll do that on. Friday. The the dog in this series uh. between Harbaugh and Tomlin is 258 and.

three against the spread. >> Against the spread. What about straight. up? >> Well, I know the Steelers were dogs in. Baltimore earlier in the season and won. He's. >> Oh, one and0 in the last one. >> That's definitely too many points. >> Three and a half. Uh it always seems to. be three and a half in this game. >> Well, was Aaron going to treat MVS like. Megatron or. >> might happen? We'll see. He might have a. great week of practice or the demon. What was the demon? >> The demon was out there. I mean, is Arty. gonna forget that we're paying John and. and and Muth more than anybody else on. the offense or. >> I don't know. >> The real question is.

for six yards a carry. >> Is Ryan Kennedy going to be sitting in a. stadium front row wearing a backwards. Ravens hat? >> That's kind of what this comes down to. I think. >> people are thinking he's a he's actually. working for the Baltimore Ravens. Correct. All season. He and he said in. his press conference on Friday, "I've. been a season ticket holder. I've never. had a violation. You can look it up.". Like I respected him sitting in there. and explaining his entire situation, especially when it comes to animal. cruelty and racist. I respect Yeah, I agree. I I shout out. to Ryan Kelly doing that. But a lot of.

people are saying this feels like this. was like a Baltimore Raven super high. intel chess play almost maybe getting DK. Mechaf, the guy who was their weapon and. explosive weapon out for the last two. weeks. I'm sure Butter will be sending a. thank you to Ryan Kennedy if the. Baltimore Ravens are able to get into. the playoffs. But I saw them all pulling. for the Cleveland Browns as well. So it. seems like Baltimore vibes, fans, team, everything good. Steelers full disarray. You lose to the Cleveland Browns. You. got Shador Sanders throwing pump fakes.

in the air. They threw it. That ball has. to be down. That thing's still floating. right to his guy. That's a touchdown. Pittsburgh Steelers Ravens Sunday Night. Football for the title for a playoff. birth. That's a beautiful thing. I mean, that's exactly what it's supposed to be. And it's not just the only great game we. have in week 18. Week 18 is about to be. epic. We have an epic final weekend of. the NFL season on deck. You have the. Carolina Panthers Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Saturday 4:30 kicking it off. That's for. the NFC South title. Winner goes, loser.

out. Seattle Seahawks versus the Niners. Oh, that's just for the number one seed. That's on Saturday night at 8:00 p.m. on. ESPN. And then for Sunday, 4:25. A lot. of four:00 games that are good. Chargers, Broncos. That's for if the. Broncos win, they get the number one. overall seed. If they lose, they could. potentially drop to the third overall. seed because they're still uh AFC West. Chance for the first time in a decade. So, they'll certainly be top four. But. there's a world where the Jags win, I. believe. Broncos lose and then the. Broncos are the third seed, Patriots are.

the one seed, Jags are the two seed. So, everything for this is seating purposes. But for the Broncos are seven and a half. point favorites. I like that team a lot. I like the Denver Broncos a lot, especially with Big Ball Bo. Hey, Big Bo. Nicks is actually spinning it right now, and it feels like he's under complete. control of the offense. Now, if you. watch this Denver Broncos team all year, you think to yourself, well, it hasn't. been that like electrifying to watch. The finishes haven't been that big of. blowouts. The defense is still who the. defense is, and Bo Knicks is only.

getting better seemingly, Dutch, as they. take on the Chargers in the final week. to potentially be the number one seed in. the AFC. >> Yeah, this is crazy. Uh the turnaround. and Bo Nicks, the the jump that he's. made from year one to year two, he's. been great. Sean Payeyton and this. defense like this defense, this pass. rush against the Chargers offensive line. and those group of guys that try to. block for Justin Herbert. It's going to. be a scary situation to watch. We just. saw in the Houston game even though it. was still a close game once again. Some. late calls down the stretch there on.

both sides, but it's going to be a great. battle in AFC AFC West this whole week. 18. But this Denver Broncos team. electric finishes and I feel like Bo. Knicks plays his best ball when it's. when it's the highest pressure moment. So, I love that about quarterbacks, especially young quarterback like Bo. >> I like Bo. >> Oh, yeah. >> I like the way he plays. I like the way. Shawn Peyton and remember this Denver. Broncos team decided last year to take. on the biggest salary cap hit in the. history of football. Now, are they. laying down kind of the groundwork or. trailblazing for other franchises, cut.

bait with bad contracts, and just go. forward with people that want to be. there? Maybe. But what they have been. able to accomplish with not as much. money as everybody else is certainly. fantastic. And if they're the number one. seed in the AFC, that would be bananas. >> You like Bo, you like Bo more than you. like Justin Herbert. >> Healthy Bo. >> So, the thing about Justin Herbert is. full track meat. Okay. So, uh I feel. like anytime you judge uh quarterback, we um and we're part of the problem. We. don't talk about the entire picture.

>> Justin Herbert's running for his life a. lot. >> Everybody, >> I mean, it feels like he's running for. his life a lot. Now, is there always. going to be excuses? Like, is that. always going to be the excuse? Potentially. But they've had some pretty. uh impactful injuries at that offensive. line. And Herbert is seemingly always. running for his life. And against this. Denver defense, I I just don't know if. that's the position I want to be in. But. I have faith in Herbert. Like Herbo is. I'm a big fan. Will they ever be able to. just figure it out though? Like you. know, like that's they always have it. >> It's it's tough. And that's why I have.

we put so much respect on on teams that. actually go and win it or especially if. you win multiple championships because. there's always teams or franchise or. quarterbacks or coaches that you can. make excuses for. That's just life. That's football. So the teams and the. quarterbacks and the coaches that can. kind of get over that hump and win a big. game. Whether it's the the Buffalo. Bills, can they finally go and get it. down down the stretch? The the Patriots, oh, they're not tested yet. They haven't. played a tough schedule. Like it's. always these built-in excuses for. everyone. So we'll see who can figure it. out. But I I mean watching just Herbert.

against even this Texans team like you. expected it coming into the game. You. know what that pass rush is. You know. what his offensive line is and you. actually watch the game you're like damn. like I feel bad for that guy sometimes. and you never want to feel bad for an. NFL player, especially a quarterback. But like you see [ __ ] like this and like. come on man. But it I guess it happens. you know pretty much every game. But it. should be a great one. Seven and a half. points I think is a lot of points for. division uh divisional opponents week. 18. But I'm excited to watch it. So, on. that note about the Texans defense and. what the Broncos defense, Chris Ry uh. Rim uh reported via ESPN research. The.

Texans pressured Justin Herbert 20 times. on Saturday. That's his fourth game with. 20 plus pressures this season. Most by a. quarterback in a season since Justin. Herbert in 2022. It's like are they ever. they tried. Harbaugh comes in first. draft pick. Oh, we need another one. We. need to do this. And then you get a. couple injuries and all of a sudden it's. back to the same old [ __ ] and it's. Herbert running for his life. Actually. running for his life back there. Well, it just, you know, that you read that. and it makes you feel like they're never. going to get it figured out. And and. again, like maybe they do have that. excuse in place because they have tried.

to do everything they can, but every. time we go into a season, I feel like. everyone's hot on the Chargers because. of how good Herbert is and because of. Jim Harbaugh. And then at this point in. the season, we're saying the exact same. thing. It's like, well, he's running for. his his life on every single play. His. offensive line sucks. His skill position. players aren't as good as they they need. to be. It's just it's a broken record. over and over. So, but who knows? Maybe. this is the year that changes. >> Well, and that's the thing. They've been. strapped for cash for so long. I mean, we forget that they got rid of Keenan. Allen, Mike Williams a couple years ago. They got rid of Joey Bose. So, like.

they've had to get rid of a bunch of. players. Now, if there was ever a year. for the Chargers to make a run, it would. be when the Chiefs completely fall off. But instead, you know, the Broncos kind. of rise up with the second easiest. schedule in the NFL. People forget to. talk about. And that's why with the. Chargers, they had the easiest. >> the New England Patriots. Everyone talks. about that though. with the with with. the charger with the Chargers with. Herbert though. That was the first time. on Saturday where it was like, wow. Okay, this guy is so screwed damn near. every single play. They should have. scored what three touchdown. They should. have had 24 points at least against the.

Texans. Like we're talking about the. Texans. Yeah. With the field goal Dicker. Dicker misses a kick that he. statistically. >> accurate kicker in the history of the. NFL. >> Yeah. So it's like everything seemingly. always goes wrong for the Chargers. That's why it's damn near impressive. that, you know, Herbert has willed them. to 11 wins. Now, who knows what happens. in the playoffs. If all the favorites. win, to your point about the seating, they end up with the seven seed and they. end up traveling to New England. So, it's just will they ever figure it out? I don't know. I genuinely hope they do,

though, cuz watching Justin Herbert is a. treat every single time he's. >> Their defense is very good, too. Defense. has been playing well under mentor. So, they they'll have a chance. >> And is he gone? >> And he's gone. >> Yeah. Is he going to be gone to be a. head coach? Who knows? Let's move to the. next headline. You mentioned potentially. having to travel to New England. The not. so evil empire is back. We've been. talking about this for a bit now, >> and I think it's maybe because of who we. are, but we like Vrabel as football. coach. We like Vrabel as human. We like. Vrabel's story getting kicked out of.

Tennessee and basically going freloading. the Cleveland Browns for a year back at. his hometown and then going back to the. place in which he's in the Hall of Fame. Drake May. This guy was talked about. being a guy who, yeah, he's athletic, but it's gonna take forever. Every time. he answers any question, he says the. right thing. And he's damn near perfect. I think he just had the best quarterback. game in the history of football. >> Yeah. Ever. Ever. He is the highest QBR. in the history. Single game QBR in the. history of any quarterback that's ever. played football since 2006. >> Drake Mate just did that. Now granted, we're going into the playoffs. Uh, so. what a time to play your best football.

is what we're aiming for. But not only. does he play best football on the field, it's like off the field, he says. everything that you would want your lead. man, your front man to say and be like. Seems like the entire team loves him. Seems like the locker room is together. Vrabel has it right. And it's hard to. hate this team. I'm going to be honest. It's hard to hate the New England. Patriots. Now, will we be able to figure. out how to hate them if they start. stacking up Lombardis like they did for. the last 20 years before in the last. dynasty? But it's crazy to think that. the evil empire, the New England. Patriots are all the way back. could be.

the number one seed in the AFC, could. obviously win the Super Bowl this year. No questions. They have everything that. you could potentially win a Super Bowl. with. And it's almost a more likable. squad because it's more unexpected at. this stage. Is that what it is, D? >> I don't know. Maybe we're too close to. it cuz we like Braves, we know Braves. I. mean, most of us, we like Diggs, we like. a lot. We love I love Drake. May we love. him. I think outside if you zoom out a. little bit, I think majority of NFL fans. probably still hate the Patriots and. probably will forever hate the Patriots. because they always won. They always got.

calls and now you got another second. coming of the quarterback that that you. had that you lost to for two decades. So. I think I think the hate is still out. there. I think they still are the evil. empire even though they are more. likable. We had Shregs up here. He was. talking about from the media standpoint. being in the building how it feels. different. People actually smile about. you not walking on eggshells and [ __ ]. like that. But um yeah, I think that's. still the. >> He got choked up. He got drafted at. choked up seeing him back. Go ahead. >> Well, it's funny you said something in. there that I just I don't want to. completely go there yet. He's not the.

second coming because he's kind of the. first coming. No one's ever done the. [ __ ] he's doing. Uh two he it's okay. You know what? Uh I will forgive you for. this time. Uh he's the first ever. quarterback with 90% completed passes. while throwing for 250 yards and five. touchdowns in a single game. He actually. was removed from the game um with uh 530. left in the third quarter. So that would. have been for 300 plus yards and. probably seven plus touchdowns in a. single game, but we were robbed of that. But that's because the Jets are the.

worst franchise in all of sports. He's. also the first ever quarterback with. 4200 pass yards, 30 pass touchdowns. What? 110 pass rating, [laughter] 400. plus rush yards, and four rushing. touchdowns. I mean, that's the coolest. thing for me is that he also has the. mobility that people forget about. And. then, yes, to the one that was just. shown. This is just the second time ever. that a team has gone from 13 losses to. 13 wins. Drake May's first year to his.

second year and Pton Manning's first. year to his second year. And you might. say, well, this is a 17 game season. Well, shut up. We did in 16 games. This. is and I and I can't emphasize enough. the coolest feeling ever. you know, as a. Patriots fan who went through all the. shite, uh, it was tough, but to sit here. last night and watch a scene like this, and I don't know if we even want to play. the audio, but it's just the Patriots. watching the Bills melt. And the Bills. actually became, you know, the first. team ever to win five straight division. titles and not go to a Super Bowl once. Kind of cool, I guess, too, for a New.

England Patriots fan. Another victory. you can take. But it all starts with. that guy. It truly is Mike Vrabel and he. he just seeing the vibe around it is. something that is new when it comes to. winning cuz uh you know the winning [ __ ]. isn't new for New England Patriots fans. but the winning with a smile on your. face that is new. Uh it is cool to see. all the players get the love and kind of. respect that they deserve from the. layman if you will and from the football. fan. But yeah, you might as well listen. to it. >> No, not listen to it. Him calling. everybody up at the FBO after a game uh.

after a flight home. Not normal. like. this is an abnormal situation just in. general. And by the way, to your point. about Frames, just everybody buying in, yep, frames is talking. Let's go ahead. and uh relax. And you hear every time. you hear a Stfan Diggs talk with. everything that's ever been said about. Stfan Digs in the world of Stfan Diggs. is currently in where he's more famous. than he's ever been. You know, I I would. assume his clout is higher than it's. ever been. It's like listening to him be. a leader on the team. That was clearly. Verable going to him early like, "Hey, I'm going to need you to be a guy in. here." It's like what he does, how he. does it, clearly gets everybody to buy.

in, but it's winning football, you know, it's winning football as well. >> And you mentioned it a few times before. that he kind of seems like he's in it. with the guys. Like, yeah, I'm in it. with the guys. Obviously, my vote just. counts 10. And I don't know, you. probably have more context, but I saw a. clip, I didn't have the audio on with. him and uh Christian Bar going into a. halftime. I think Barma may have got. into it with another player. Yeah. And. you see like Verbel like in his face. going back and forth. That's the thing. A lot of coaches are put in a position. and sometimes they avoid those type of. conflicts or those type of conversations.

with their players, but Vable just steps. right into it. >> I assume he said like, hey, we'll fight. him afterwards. Something like it felt. like. >> it was like a very very intense. >> and he hit him in the chest too. Vel. like hit him in the chest a couple times. like yo we don't need that right now. Who you are and who they are. I I think. it was and hopefully they do have the. miked up moment. I think they went 8. and0 on the road. Okay. I think that was. something they all talked about as. motivation. You heard Stefon Diggs talk. about you heard Drake May talk about I. think people on the defensive side. talked about it and I think they said. something about packing their culture. Is that what they said? We can pack our. culture, take it on the road. I forget.

what it was. They had a tagline though. that multiple guys said and it was like. oh this is how Vable motivated these. guys. 8 on the road and we can pack our. something. I forget what it was but. basically trying to prove like hey we. can go and do this. There's been other. teams in the past here that have done. this. We need to accomplish it. felt. obvious that that was the motivating. factor going into the final week against. the New York Jets and they obviously. smacked the hell out of the New York. Jets who might be. >> they are. >> Mhm. They are actually friend of the. program right here, good friend Michael.

Cole of the program. He has jumped ship. He is now a New England Patriots fan. He. is done with the Jets. That is Yes, it. is. Yes, it is. >> I'm telling you, >> that can't be. >> Just think about the kick thing that. happened with that lady. Just think. about that. Like, let alone your ass. Your team is cheeks. Okay, this is a. butthole operation from top to bottom. and it has been. Then this girl is doing. a kick for her dad and then they find. out that uh she might actually be able. to make this thing. >> She played middle school soccer. She. can't do this. >> We thought there was no chance she would.

make it. No way. Did you see Nick play. uh tennis? There is no way this lady's. able to make a field goal. Then they. find out somebody goes like, "Hey, there's she's a high school soccer. There's she has kicked before. Cancel. it. Cancel that thing. Completely get. that out of there." It's like everything. they do is like, "How can we be the most. hatable franchise? like how can we make. our fans hate us more than they did. before and obviously that is just kind. of in it and we would have done a kick. we had reached out to the Rose Bowl. where the next game day is and we. thought there'd be no chance Roseb. people would say yes and with the. torrential downpour potentially coming.

who knows how it'll go the Rose Bowl. people are like yeah you could use the. field for game day for her to kick by. the way so we were going to do that that. that was something that was happening so. when I put the eyeballs up on that thing. I very much text call easy let's see can. we do this it would have been for 252. you know and I think it would have been. at the Rose whether or not she wanted to. do that. So, shout out to the Rose Bowl. saying yes, we will definitely do that. And also, shout out to the Jets for. saying actually, yeah, she can do the. $100,000 kick now. She missed it. Okay, which stinks. A lot of people missing. kicks. I mean, that's pretty obvious.

going out there. But just everything. about their organization sucks. And then. you start seeing like, well, it's a new. defensive head coach and a defensive. mindset. It's like, well, they have zero. interceptions on a season. >> Zero. >> Zero. >> None. >> That's not even like one that was tipped. up in. >> tips overthrows. Got to get those. They. ain't they ain't get any of them. That. that is just something that hasn't. happened. Defensive coach now they trade. they trade pieces away great piece away. to get more assets and obviously they'll. make the right decisions on what those. assets should be going forward. We. assume maybe I'm a fan of Aaron Glenn.

but the [ __ ] that's coming out about. this defense being historically terrible. and this team being historically. terrible is outrageous. Lost four. straight games by 23 points in the. history of the NFL football [laughter]. history. Jets in 2025. Then you got to. go back to the 70s, the 50s, the 30s, and the 20s. The Urang Indians in 1923. lost four straight games by 23 plus. points. And you think to yourself, the. Urang Indians? That's not a team. It is. >> Yeah. Nikki Sass's boys.

>> Yeah. Yes. Actually, you do know of. them. Uh, who was who was the star on. >> Jimmy Thorp? >> Yeah. You ever heard of him? Jim Thorp. >> Jim Thorp. >> Yes. Jim Thorp was star. The Urang. Indians were a team of all Native. Americans. I can't believe they called. themselves that. I don't know if they. know how offensive that was to. themselves at the time. Okay, obviously. that would vastly be different now. But. the Urang Indians were a team uh Jim. Thorp was on that was led by a guy who. was literally just trying to sell dogs. from his dog kennel. They lost four.

straight games, 23 plus points. They. didn't think it could be done at the. time. Their first team ever to do it. 1923 teams like there's no way you could. be this ass. And then the Urang Indians. were like, "It's not about football. anyways. We're trying to sell these. sweet dogs. They got very cool dog. airdale terriers I believe is the name. of the dogs. Good looking dogs. I mean. they got good stances, good posture, good good noses and everything like the. only they named the Urang Indians. because the name Urang was a kennel. where this guy was trying to sell dogs. They it is.

>> that's the dog they're trying to move. That ain't the dog actually. Is that Jim. Thorp? >> That's not the airdale dog. Yeah, Bruce. got completely wrong. Jim Thorp loves. dogs though which we certainly respect. That's not the airale that they were. trying. Yeah. What's that? >> You're right. >> Oh, yeah. That's one of the things. >> Oh, yeah. Animal cruelty. >> I completely forgot, right? >> Space hot. >> But anytime you're in the same. conversation as the Urang Indians, who. are a team that was literally only put. together to move some dogs, you know, it's not going well. And that's the New. York Jets of this season. And uh it's.

first year with a new head coach and. he's a defensive uh coach. And we love. Aaron Glenn, but we don't save them. We. don't know if they could be saved over. there in New York. Honestly, >> I mean, it was ugly all time bad. You. talk about zero interceptions, that. seems impossible to be able to do. They're I think they're second or third. to last in the league when it comes to. sacks as well. You mentioned trading uh. Quinnon Williams, trading Sauce Gardner. So, obviously, they were tanking on this. year. It was a little stretch in the. middle season. I think they won two or. three maybe backto-back games, but yeah, it's just an all-around [ __ ] show from.

the top down. The New York Jets say I. mean, will it be one and done? I hope. not for Aaron Glenn. I like Aaron Glenn. >> I hope so for Aaron Glenn. all these. >> will they do the right thing? They. haven't done it historically. Let's see. if they can figure it out. But I mean. that that [ __ ] is it's all time bad. The. only thing I was thinking with this game. right after halftime was get Drake May. out. Like I I would hate to see him just. go down and be hurt for the playoffs or. anything like that because this team who. Brady Cook was at quarterback now. It's. just it's it's a [ __ ] show.

>> Well, and that's why when you say like. we like Aaron Glenn, I actually don't. because the only thing that I was. worried about was the injuries and then. they're doing cheap [ __ ] after the. plays. It's like, okay, so this guy, or. I won't say this guy, but this team is a. detriment to football cuz watching them. makes you not like the sport. But then. at the other side of it, it's, oh, like. I'm now worried about just the safety. and medical, you know, future of the. players of the team I root for. When you. when you think of the front office and. ownership, they're crooks. I mean, sure, the the Pittsburgh Pirates, the. Pittsburgh Pirates guy, he Bob Nutting,

he just goes down to, you know, the. Pirates field and he collects a check. and he doesn't spend money. And that's. cool and great. >> We just paid no turn. Thank you. >> That's right. Two years, 26 million. In. baseball, that is basically pennies. But. again, it's one of those things where. they they're honestly just collecting. checks and that's how it feels. Like no. matter what you say about this Jets. team, there's nothing you can look at. and say like that's good. Garrett Wilson. hasn't played since October and he's. their leading receiver. It's almost. January. Like that is that is abysmal.

It's pathetic beyond sports. Like it's. pathetic in the sense of getting Fs and. finishing last in in a you know in in a. in a race where you should finish first. I I don't even know what to compare it. to because it's so embarrassing. as a. Patriots fan, as a member of the AFC. East, like I'm calling for their fans to. either veto uh some sort of uh movement. or buthin. Metife, within the team. If if I'm Aaron. Glenn, if I'm a fan of Aaron Glenn, I'm. telling him like, "Hey, you got to chain. yourself to the practice facility and.

say, "Hey, no one's allowed to use this. thing until either ownership sells, until they completely redo their front. office because there isn't any hope.". And guess what's going to happen? They're going to use those picks they. got. They're going to draft two guys and. both those guys, one of them might be. really good. They're going to trade him. in three years after whoever they draft. at quarterback doesn't work out. And. most likely as well, they're never going. to rebuild. The Dolphins, I have way. more faith in the Dolphins. The Bills. have Josh Allen and the Patriots have. Drake May and Mike Freay. Realistically,

the the Jets are not going to win for. another 20 plus years unless there's. changes. >> Hey, Jets. Jets. Jets. He quit again. Uh, unfortunately it is our fifth retirement. tour for Fireman. Fireman Ed has called. it again. He is He's doing the George B. He's doing what you're saying. He's He's. saying enough of this. Enough of this. I. used to run towards fires, not away from. him. Why am I standing up to cheer for. dumpster fires? Okay. I'm a firefighter. I'm supposed to be fighting against. these things. And uh he feels like what.

he's cheering for at this point is a. fire. Now, on that note, they were not. in the lame bowl yesterday between the. Raiders and the Giants. That was another. team that cost Met Life, home. So, shout. out to the New York, New Jersey people. >> You're doing great. >> Jump [ __ ]. >> At least they had a a run. >> Giants, you know. >> Yeah, they did. >> Oh, yeah. >> The Jets did, too. Remember, Joe? >> No, I don't remember. >> Yeah, me neither. I just seen a clip. [laughter]. >> They look like a good time. He was by. the pool. You know, there's no social. media. Oh my gosh. Yeah, we're going to.

do this. >> Sick. All right, let's go to the number. one headline coming out of the weekend. By far the Sunday night thriller, the. game of the year between the 11-4. Chicago Bears versus the 11-4 San. Francisco 49ers. Caleb Williams, Ben. Johnson taking on Brock Pury, Kyle. Shanahan. Now Shanahan, Ben Johnson. Hello. I mean, here we are. Obviously. McVeyy's name gets tossed in there and. some others, but whenever you're talking.

about offensive minds, when you're. talking about offensive brilliance, you're talking about those two. coordinators. And then the defense. coordinators in this game, Dennis Allen, former head coach, Robert Salah, former. head coach. So, whenever you talk about. four supreme, incredible coordinators, you talk about this particular matchup. In forecasting it, I don't think we. would have expected a shootout. I I. don't think we would have expected this. thing to get to what it got to, but as. we were watching it, all any of us could. think to ourselves was, "Wow, football. is the greatest." Brock Py's obviously. dancing his ass off. He's got the douge. down pat. He said he' been practicing.

that in front of the mirror. He. certainly has. First play, pick six. Chicago Bears defense. How you doing? Keep it moving in Santa CL. 15 seconds. into this game. It's 7 nothing Chicago. Bears. Is Brock Perie going to have one. of those ass games that he's had in the. past. Is Christian McCaffrey not going. to be able to do anything. Uh-uh. Christian McCaffrey goes absolutely h. Now, I put out a couple tweets about. Christian McCaffrey, and the way we talk. about him is as if he's a machine. He. never gets tired. How is this guy on the. field all the time? How does this guy.

get the ball all the time? How does he. take this many hits? How is he able to. just never get tired? And how is he. always explosive? Because, you know, in. uh in boxing later rounds, the the juice. is all gone. So, landing a massive shot. in like the 10th, 11th, 12th, third is. going to be difficult just because you. don't have enough explosion in you. because of how long the fight has been. In the fourth quarter, third quarter. after you've gotten the ball 40 times. both through this guy and on the ground, I don't know how there's any explosion. left in your body. He somehow always has.

it, always explosive, never gets tired, always has the ball. And this dude is. special. And Brock Perie, he's seemingly. at a different level this year. The. Pretty Moxy is fantastic. It's not just. through this guy and understanding what. he's going on. How about on the ground? I'm going to be faster than you and then. I'm going to do my [ __ ] Yeah. I'm uh uh. uh uh hey, I saw some white people on. the internet saying what Perty was doing. was cringe. Yeah, right. Party crushes. that thing. Now, a little bit of a juke. here. You know, stays clean. Even gives. the Hulk, Huh? Excuse me. Let me hear.

it. Santa Clair, you got an absolute dog. here getting paid 50 million a year and. then this play obviously going to run. for the rest of time for Brock Party on. Sunday Night Football. He's shaking, he's baking, he's cooking, he's looking. and touchdown Harvard big brain juice. with the perfect spike and Brock party. got euro step. Brock Pury. Unbelievable. Now Trent. Williams pulls a hamstring. Okay, so. what is that going to do? George KD. obviously not playing. What are they. going to look like going forward? But.

this San Francisco 49ers team outgunned, outmanned, outlasted the Chicago Bears. team who had a chance. The Chicago Bears. had four seconds left on the clock. Down. four. And they had Caleb Williams with. the ball in his hands. All he had to do. was score a touchdown from the 2 and 1/2. yd line. He's cooking. He's moving. Is. anybody open? Final answer? No. Was he. throw one? Yes. Does Taro make a great. call? Absolutely. Love the energy. The. San Francisco 49ers win. The San. Francisco 49ers won that game on that. play. Nobody was open. Now, were we.

expecting some Ben Johnson [ __ ] Okay, they ran a hook and ladder right before. that to get down there. Was there a. two-point play maybe that could have. happened that Ben Johnson had in his. back pocket to win the game? Potentially. But instead, what we saw. was an electrifying, epic, instant. classic between these two teams who. obviously are going to have great runs. in the playoffs and potentially are only. getting started with these two. franchises for the next 5, 10 years. Thank you, football. Thank you Bears. Thank you Niners. Thank you Sunday Night. Football Dud. >> Yeah. Unbelievable stop right there by.

Diamador Lenor at that corner on that. hook and ladder. If he he likes to give. that edge right there, even get out of. bounds, it's kind of a different uh game. down there. You you kind of maybe maybe. some Bears fans wanted this play a. little closer to the end zone, but if he. wins, if they win it, he scores right. there. Ben Johnson's a genius. Just a. great game by both team, both offenses. Usually you can find some corner of the. internet bitching or moaning or. something about any game and most of the. internet internet is pretty universally. agreed like hey this is a great game. This is a great prime time game. Went.

back and forth wasn't history I think. back and forth being tied all the way up. until uh 35. Just unbelievable game. Great game by Caleb Williams as well. 330 in the air two touchdowns no uh. interceptions but backto-back games now. for Brock Perie being responsible for. five touchdowns. And we always talked. about it earlier in his career. Hey, he's just doing this because of Kyle or. Debo or Aruki. You mentioned all those. names being out of the lineup and then. putting this [ __ ] on his back. So, just. a big time performance by both of these. teams and an unbelievable job by the. Niners. Still got a chance to get the. one seed to have, you know, home field. advantage throughout the Super Bowl if.

they. >> Tom is doing his thing, Pieraw doing his. thing, Jennings doing his thing, having. a couple massive plays and it's like. without Fred, we saw Fred last night. which was cool. It was good to see Fred. He was pretty active. Without Bosa, is. this team going to have enough? Do they. have enough on the defensive side? I. know Ben Johnson and Chicago Bears. offense is very good, but the Niners. have enough on the defensive side to. playing for the number one seed. >> No, I think that'd be the question for. both of these teams. The the defense, can they step up and stop? You gave up. 80 points on the field, so I don't think. either one of these teams have enough on. that side of the ball. Offensively, I. think both of these teams can make a.

run. >> Okay, so that's the number one headline. coming out of week 17 is the Sunday. Night Thriller. What are a couple things. we missed, Debbut? You think? >> Uh, we kind of mentioned it a little bit. with the Broncos. Uh, first time in 10. years in a decade winning their. division. last time I believe is when. they went to the Super Bowl. And then uh. on the flip side on the other side, the. NFC, the Eagles, they get a ugly ugly. win in Buffalo, but their defense since. week eight, giving up a 15 points per. game since that Jaylen Phillips trade. Cooper Deene has been phenomenal. Quad. Mitchell also a Pro Bowler. Two Pro.

Bowlers in the back end. Jaylen Carter's. back and whenever he's on the field, he's going to be dominant. Had his mint. on another uh field goal uh this. weekend. So yeah, this is a team that is. poised to make a run in the playoffs. I. I've never jumped off the Eagles. bandwagon. I know my head coach just. missed the locker room, but I'm still on. the bandwagon. I think they can get hot. and get rolling. >> Josh Allen missing that throw. Abnormal. Completely abnormal. Jaylen Carter. blocking a kick, the extra point of. Michael Badgely. Not abnormal. He's a. guy. Obviously, Jaylen Carter has become. a part of this. And maximum effort on.

field goal or extra point blocks is a. good sign from your best players, especially with Jaylen. And if he has a. little bit of hope that he's going to be. able to get it, he's going to continue. to push them going from two. I didn't. mind it. I I mean, I know people are. saying, "Hey, Eagles offense." I I think. Jaylen Herz was 0 for seven uh in the. second half passing, which is like the. worst, I think, out of any team that's. ever won a football game in the history. of football or something like that. So, why not take this to overtime? You have. it. It's like, well, you have all the. momentum, too. The guy's wide open. Josh. Allen does what Josh Allen does 99 out.

of 100 times and puts this on him. They. win the game right there. And everybody. says they love the play. So, it's very. Monday morning quarterbackish to be able. to go after the decision. But on that. note, Josh never misses that. >> Great MVP. He put it put the ball in his. hands. >> And coach Seriani afterwards was talking. his [ __ ] going up the tunnel. Not so much anymore. >> Not so much anymore. >> AJ's like, "You got it." Locker's right.

here. Missed the locker room. Almost missed. the locker room. That locker room's been. there since the beginning of that. stadium. them coming down the same. tunnel, out the same tunnel is obviously. a part of a lot of different scenes in. the history of ball. But him almost. missing that locker room just so he. could talk his [ __ ] Feels like Sirani's. back. The Eagles defense is back. Is. Jaylen going to be able to get back? We. shall see. We appreciate you all for. allowing us to do this for a living. We'll see you on the other side. Be a. friend. Tell a friend something nice. >> You know what? I think there's only one.

thing left to do here. I've experienced. cafesito time. I've experienced the. wonderful culture. I've experienced the. beautiful people and I think we got some. canes over here. We got some canes over here. We got some canes over here. [laughter]. >> This day in Coral Gables is going to be. one that I will remember for the rest of. my life. Ray Lewis started his dance.

right here at Miami. Ed Reed started his. legendary run here at Miami. The legends of football run deep. The. moments are special. The national. championships are in abundance. Just. last year, a lovely University of Miami, woman diver from Italy, won a national. championship. This thing's been staring. at me all damn day. [laughter].

You're out of your mind, brother. You. crazy, >> Parker. I'm a little winded. >> That's what I was going to say. The whole time you were running. I'll. give you a chance to catch your breath, you [laughter] [ __ ] You're crazy. >> I hope somebody got a lifesaver over. there or something. My man's out of. breath. >> It [laughter] is a long way to the top. You're going to jump in and. >> Are you going to jump in there? >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. So, >> I'm tired for you.

Oh my dick. >> Oh, he's going to take the jacket off. Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Oh. Oh, he's taking the shirt off now. All right. All right. All right. >> Looking ripped. >> Oh, he's taking the drawers off. >> Ladies and gentlemen, >> the drawers. [laughter]. >> Ladies and gentlemen, if you come to. this beautiful campus, you will notice. quickly that the students here love this. university. They love this atmosphere.

and I'm with everybody. I think the U is. back. Give me [cheering]. [laughter]. the speed on. Oh my god. >> Give me the. [cheering]. Oh god. [laughter] Oh god. What's. The canes, baby.

>> Here he goes. >> Oh god. [laughter]. >> Here he goes. Feet together. Feet. together. >> So for the pencil. there's got to you. could be with. Miami and Florida tonight. Let's have a. look at that again. The following. program is a collection of stooges. talking about happenings in the sports.

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

listen, we are very, very thankful for. you. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You pick. >> stunner. Damn it. >> Your friend tell a friend something nice. could change their life. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble abode. The thunder on this. magical overreaction Monday December.

29th 2025 hour two of the program begins. now. >> Football is the greatest. We can't thank. [music] you enough for allowing us to do. this for a living. It's not just me. Obviously the toxic tables here at. Boston Connor fan of the AFC East champ. New England Patriots. >> Been there one night. [applause] Yeah, exactly. Wish we cared about division. titles and stuff like that. Only count. Super Bowls. >> Okay. Yep. All right. Sounds good. Uh. the Tai Schmidt obviously Green Bay. Packers fan. Malik Willis a player. >> Might be a little bit too good of a.

player. >> What? >> I don't know. You know, after watching. that game, you you know, I mean, you. maybe have a couple ice cold pops in and. you're starting to think, well, we're. already in the playoffs. Jordan loves in. concussion protocol. Maybe he just stays. in concussion protocol for a couple more. weeks. let him get healthy, fully. healthy. You know, brain injuries are. very serious. I don't want, you know, anything to happen to him. And I really. maybe wouldn't mind seeing Malik Willis, you know, in the first round of the. playoffs. Wow. >> Because boy, that offense was huming.

Now granted, the defense looked like. hammered dog [ __ ] but the offense was. absolutely humming on Saturday. >> On that note, Micah has got his ACL. surgery. I believe he uh posted a photo. Yeah, we would like to send positive. thoughts and prayers to Micah Parsons as. he recovers and everybody else that's. going through surgery. Obviously, a. season, a game of attrition is what. football is. You get a couple important. injuries, you know, uh boy, your season. could change. And they're talking about. collapses. You know, the Packers are one. of them. Yep. >> Colts are another one. >> Yep. >> It's not great.

>> No, we made the playoffs still though. >> You know, >> one half of the hammer died Cowboys AP. Tone is here. Collapses. Uh, are the. Pittsburgh Steelers going to be a part. of that conversation or are the. Pittsburgh Steelers going to have a home. playoff game after a big time win at. Akasher? >> Yo, and I was super down, but then I. forgot that the Ravens defense is ass. So, maybe we will have a Whoa. >> No, that's not the take away from Malik. Willis. >> Malik Willis is [ __ ] good. Okay. It. has nothing to do with the Ravens. >> No, I just remembered I remember back. and I was like, "Oh, Aaron threw for 290.

against his defense a couple weeks ago.". So, it's like now Dalin was there. Um. >> Mhm. >> So, that's, you know, a different story. But [laughter]. >> nine-year NFL vet Derek Jay Butler is. here. >> Are we going to revisit that punishment. now that Glazer did his scoopage. yesterday or. >> what's that? >> Uh just you know that about the reports. uh about the fan from last year and. things that were said. >> What did he say? >> Uh some some sort of scoopage. I can't. remember exactly. >> No, the scoopage I saw from him was that. they kicked Max Crosby out of the. building. He wanted to play. >> scoopage as well. >> And then Max Crosby basically said, "I'm. not hurt. Look at this." Sick. Hey, he's.

got a silky jumper. >> He has got a silky jumper. Jake Glazer. reported that uh you know the Las Vegas. Watch that splash. Thank you. Yeah, no. problem. >> Obviously, incredible gym at the house. A lot of people are commenting on the. names of the businesses on the pads. there. If he got those businesses to pay. for this gym to be in his house, great. move, which I would expect Max Crosby to. do. Good businessman. But the scoopage. from Jay Glazer was uh if we could I I.

still can't see. Well, okay, there we. go. Uh, stupid. Uh, Raiders told Max. Crosby they wanted to shut him down last. two games. Crosby, who has played with. injuries for much of the year, vehemly. disagreed and has left the building at. NFL on Fox has learned this could lead. to questions on his future in Vegas. >> We love whenever Glazer drops in and. throws a fastball. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, from Manatakin, Ohio is a college football national. champion, Super Bowl champion, all time. leading tackler for the Green Bay. Packers, AJ Hawk. >> Jer. Jay Glazer said, "I don't do the. day-to-day stuff, okay? I ain't got the.

time. I got other things to figure out, but that's a pretty big little bomb that. was chitchated about over there in Las. Vegas. >> Yeah, it seems to Did it take Max by. surprise, I would imagine, as well? Like. he I don't think he was expecting this, but credit to him for posting this. He. does. You're right. He's got a great. looking jumper and a beautiful home gym. right there. >> Yeah, incredible home gym. Love the. daughter. Also, he shoots one left to. right. Uh, another shot that is just. silk. I mean, just absolutely pure. We've heard stories of the offseason of. him actually going into UFC octagon. This one right here. Yep. Hey.

>> Yeah. Off his off foot. Yeah. It's a. little durk. He's got a little derk in. him. Plus, you know, a little Webby as. well. Then he was also on trampoline. just to showcase stability. I mean, >> the same day. >> The same day. Yeah. This is him getting. a chance to kind of hang out with the. kid. You know, I just been sent home. from a building here. Now, Pete Carol. was asked about it. Pete Carol was like, he's known what's going on. We talked. about this since Monday, Tuesday. We've. kind of been going through it and he's. obviously a competitor. He wants to. fight. Nobody wants to hear that they're. being told that they can't play football. anymore or whatever for this season. and. we he left. Yeah. He was upset about it.

is kind of how it went. And it's like. geez louise. Is this what it takes to. get Max Crosby out of Las Vegas and they. tell him he can't play in a meaningless. game. >> And if that is the case, is Max Crosby. exactly the guy that everybody wants on. their football team? And then you start. looking at his contract, I think it's. very unbelievable. >> Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. senior NFL insider for ESPN, a man who. might have a little bit more on this. entire situation, Adam Shfter. >> Shifty, I don't know. I don't know if. you heard Jay Glazer here just moments. ago or this past weekend or saw his.

tweet. He chitchated about the Max. Crosby uh Raiders situation where they. basically told him or shut him down. because he wasn't healthy enough. [clears throat]. >> Good to see Good to see you back. [laughter] out here. Hey, good to see. you back out here. Uh but anyways, they. they basically said they shut him down. because he wasn't healthy enough to. play. He'd been fighting through. something obviously the last few weeks. He got upset about it. Then we saw. videos of him doing some stuff. What is. kind of the Max Crosby, Las Vegas. Raiders situation from your perspective, Sheffy? Well,

>> I think both sides could be right. I. think where the Raiders are coming from. is they had scans done on his knee on. Tuesday. Uh doctors felt like his. condition had worsened. He needs knee. surgery at some point this off season. They're in a spot where why would they. expose him? He is a football player and. wants to keep playing. Of course, his. drive, his energy, his attitude is what. has made him so successful. So, he wants. to keep playing. And from their. standpoint, they don't want to risk. putting him out there and making it.

worse, especially when they're competing. for the number one pick. Like, there's. no reason for them to do that. So, he. may not like it, but it sounded like. what they were doing was the right. thing. And again, I think both sides in. this particular case are right. They. have no plans to trade him. I don't know. if that'll change. I don't know if he. demands anything and makes it such that. they have to trade him, but right now. that's not how they're thinking. >> All right. We love you, Max. Love you, Max. >> Hell yeah. >> Continue to love you. Who knows what the. Raiders look like in the future. If Max. Crosby's there, we'll continue to watch.

him two to three times a year whenever. he's playing a good team and he's on. prime time. We would like to see Max. Crosby though in prime time on a good. team take things over. Could you imagine. Max Crosby in a Super Bowl? Some country. that only watches one game a year. watches Super Bowl and goes, "Holy hell, what is this white doing? the Patriots. >> Oh my god. I mean, people would would. lose their mind. Be good for the game, but I understand also loyalty to your. team is good for the game. Max, we're. pulling for you. Godspeed on the. recovery. Let's talk about some. recoveries. Trent Williams last night. pulled a hamstring. Do we have any. update on that? He was obviously out in.

space blocking, which is what he does. He's like greatest tackle in generation. Might be greatest tackle of all time. I. know there's others. Joe Thomas, I. believe. Uh there's Oh, I'm missing the. two names. I'm so sorry. Pace like there's a there's people up. there in the combo, but they're saying. Trent. >> Yep. Trent is in that convo and. obviously what the Niners look like with. him versus without him stats-wise, even. though they win last night. Not great. What should we be expecting from him? And then also George KD as the Niners. make a push for the number one overall.

seed. >> KD is going to push to come back this. week. He never tested it last week at. all. They weren't going to play him on. Sunday night, so he didn't go out there. He was out. He'll have a chance to be. back this week. Saturday night against. Seattle. Trent Williams went out of the. game, didn't come back. Older veteran player, tough on a. hamstring. I think if you're the 49ers, you probably want to see if you can get. that buy. Give him two weeks off and.

then bring him back if that's possible. Now, again, we'll see how his the. hamstrings feeling this week. See if. he's got any chance. I think it'll be. tough for him to come back in a short. week with a hamstring injury that. prevented him from playing. But here's. the great part for the 49ers is they. give him veteran rest days during the. season. So the the young left tackle. that they brought in last night, he's. kind of used to that. He's not Trent. Williams. Nobody is. But at least he had. gotten some reps during the season. because they were giving those rest days. during the practice week to Trent. Williams. >> Okay. How about Fred Warner? Because.

obviously saw him very active last. night. Saw him on the field, saw him. talking. They reported last night that. there's a chance he's back. What do we. think about Fred? >> He's been talking about this on his. podcast for the past week. John Lynch. said that he's got a shot. My. understanding is it is quote unquote a. long shot for him to play again this. season, but it's a great thing for him. to continue to work for, strive for, and. I would never put anything past that guy. ever. Like, he is as impressive as they. come. And if anybody can make it back, that guy certainly can. Everybody would.

love to see it again. Person I spoke to. told me long shot. We'll see if they can. make it. They'd have to advance in the. postseason. He'd have to continue to. make great progress. Um, it reminds me a. little bit of Aiden Hutchinson last year. in Detroit. Same type of situation where. there was a lot of conversation about. it. Ultimately, it didn't happen. It. would have been great if it did. And I. kind of feel like that's where we'll be. here. Although, again, with Fred Warner, anything's possible. >> Okay. And last one with the Niners on. the injury front. Uh, Christian McCaffry.

is back. Is that a thing we need to. watch? What are we thinking? There's. zero chance that he wouldn't be out. there this week. Like that guy, I I just. think he's a warrior. He's going to do. whatever it takes. And it's hard to. imagine him missing. He went out. He had. some back spasms. Um Yeah. I I think. he'll be. >> Oh, are they throttling? >> Wow. Acupuncture. >> Yanked it. [clears throat]. >> We lost you there for a second. You said. he'll be active though uh for the game.

in your own. >> I was I would be surprised if you were. not out there this week. >> Got it. Okay, AJ, go ahead. >> Chefy, with this Niners team, they I. think some people on the outside may be. a bit surprised at the success they have. had this season with the injuries. Is. there anyone on their staff you think. they might get poached away? Possibly. head coaching candidates with Isa going. to get another chance? >> I think Robert Salah is definitely going. to get interviewed here in this cycle. We'll see whether or not he gets one. Um. that certainly will be a possibility. his name has been bandied about here as. a candidate. Um, trying to think of.

other guys that they would have. They. have a young guy on their staff, Klay. Kubak, who eventually I think is going. to be a head coach one day. Clint. Kubak's brother. I don't know that he's. there yet, but eventually he may get. there. Um, they have some young GM. candidates there as well. Um, from the. head coaching standpoint, Salah would. represent their best hope to get one. this offseason. And then for the Seattle. Seahawks, there's some Darnold uh stats. coming out about back-to-back 13 game uh.

win seasons. And obviously what. McDonald's been able to do there has. been very special. The Seattle Seahawks. whenever we're forecasting or projecting. uh what they could potentially be or. become. What are your thoughts, Chef D? >> I look they do two things very well. They they play great defense. It's Mike. McDonald knows defense and that defense. has got a lot of talent and they've got. two very talented running backs. The. running game has been up and down this. season. Hasn't always been successful, but they ran the ball effectively.

Yesterday, Jack Charbanet was ripping. off runs like this against the Panthers. Kenneth Walker come in. You never know. who's going to get hot on a particular. day, whether it's going to be Walker or. Charban. Of course, Jackson Smith and. Jigba is about as good as there is in. the game right now. They're they're just a really good. football team. Really good football. team. And if they win on Saturday night, then they're the one seed. And now you. got to go win in Seattle in front of the. 12th man for two games. Like good luck.

with that. Somebody might be able to do. it. AJ, you won in Seattle. You won in. Seattle when you were playing for Green. Bay in the. >> You son of a [ __ ]. >> I don't know if we did. I sh I don't. think we did. >> We won this not in the playoffs. It's a. tough place to play in the playoffs. You're not you're not lying right there. >> Well, and on that note, talk about just. Seattle being tough, San Fran being. tough. Seahawks 49ers will be the first. regular season finale in NFL history. between teams both entering on win. streaks of six or more games. And it's. for the number one overall seed in the.

NFC. We're talking about special stuff. And if the Niners are going to keep. playing like how we've seen them play. and the Seahawks, I think they just held. Bryce Young like 54 pass yards or. something like that yesterday. I mean, you're talking about a battle of. Goliaths. It's a shame that one of them. has to lose, but hey, one of them's got. to be the number one seed. Go ahead, Chef D. >> And and the interesting thing here is, and we've talked about this, but if it's. San Francisco, then San Francisco essentially will have. won Saturday night and then would have.

to win three more home games to be world. champions. Three more home games. Now, again, Saturday night to me is a coin. flip. Seattle's great. San Francisco's. played very well. I see the oddsmakers. have established the 49ers as point and. a half favorites. So basically it's a. coin flip kind of game. But if San. Francisco could find a way to prevail. Um the Niners would have homefield. advantage. They'd have to win two home. games to play the Super Bowl at home. Um. >> the odds makers the odds makers see them. as favorites this weekend. I wonder how.

many they would be favorites continuing. down the playoff road at home for the. San Francisco 49ers. them being able to. win in Santa CL would obviously follow. suit with the Rams in Los Angeles and. Tampa in Tampa before that which was co. year it had never been done winning in. your home stadium but obviously it's a. massive ordeal. Let's talk about another. game this weekend that has a lot of. implications especially for the kitchen. that's always hot the AFC North. Go. ahead Tone. >> Yeah Shifty Sunday Night Football Ravens. at Steelers. Uh Lamar Jackson did not.

play this past weekend. Uh, is he going. to get the go for the season on the line. on Sunday night? >> I think if you're the Baltimore Ravens, you're preparing like Tyler Huntley's. going to be the starter. >> Last week, Lamar Jackson didn't practice. at all. It was a very painful back. injury. And he's missed at least one day. of practice, seven straight weeks now. Ankle, toe, knee, shoulder, flu, whatever it may be. And so he has.

consistently missed practice time. Now. he's coming off a back injury that was. very painful for him to endure. And so. he might be able to make it back. But I. think they're operating under the. assumption right now, okay, let's go get. Tyler Huntley ready. Tyler Huntley beat. the Packers Saturday night in Green Bay. He beat the Bears earlier this season. Now he's going to have to try to go win. in Pittsburgh again. Maybe Lamar does. make it back. That would be the hope. But right now, I think you're preparing.

and operating like Tyler Hungley is. going to be the starter. >> Okay, that's the AFC North. Win and. you're in, lose, and go home. Let's go. to the NFC South. Uh, Bucks, Panthers, Bucks, what happened? >> Mm- What happened to the Bucks? They're. ass. They're ass. I don't like that the. Bucks are ass cuz it's everybody I know. is playing. It's not like the people we. don't know are playing. It's not like. significant injuries to many positions. It's like they're actually getting more. people healthier. >> Yeah, they got healthier as the season. went on. and seemingly got worse. Lost a.

bunch of games. Then Shifty mentioned. the oddsmakers that they were favorites. And so, uh, yeah, it's great question. What the hell happened to the B? >> And the Panthers played like ass against. the Seattle Seahawks, but are the. Seahawks going to make a lot of teams. play like ass. What do you think about. the NFC South? Somebody's got to win it, I guess, Chef D. >> Well, I I I think Carolina's played. pretty well here. Even yesterday against. Seattle, they didn't win the game, but. Carolina played the Seahawks pretty. tough and and they've gotten better as. the season's gone on. And the Buccaneers. have not. The Buccaneers have gone the.

other way. And And I don't know when. this started, how this started, why this. start I I have a feeling that Baker. Mayfield has been playing hurt. >> I feeling that we'll hear something. about that after the season. Like, oh, his shoulder was oh, his head it like he. just hasn't looked right um at all. times. And the defense, usually the Buccaneers under Todd BS, they're aggressive, they're. unpredictable, they make things happen,

and and this defense has not been that. way for the past six or so weeks. And I. I think football a lot of times it's a. lot about confidence, momentum, and this. team's lost its confidence, lost its. momentum, and and and they've they've. been one of the worst teams in football. the last six or seven weeks. >> Yeah. And it's been ugly to watch. Shout. out to the Dolphins, though. Hey SP. But. hey, look, Baker may be playing hurt, but to be honest. [laughter] playing hurt. Justin. Herbert's playing hurt is week 18 NFL.

season. Old man Rogers player. We got a. 44 year old quarterback hire. We know. he's hurt. He was hurt soon as he walked. in the building. So, I mean, that that's. just part of it. >> Guys throwing his shoulder out for the. Packers. >> That was Leave it online. >> Okay, so let's talk about that. Chefy, it got a little loud by drunk Packers. fans after their fifth time now watching. Malik. How many times you guys see Malik. come in? >> Yeah, I think he's start he started at. least four games. He's played a few. more, but he started at least four. >> How real? And this is not saying how I. feel. I love Jordan Love. Jordan Love uh.

came on our show like we are very. thankful for Jordan Love front of the. program. But there was a narrative. building by Packers fans that were like. every time I see Malik everything looks. good. Every time I see Jordan, maybe it. looks good. So, you tell me percentage. of good versus percentage of uh-uh. There was people like really rallying. the troops for Malik Willis from the. Green Bay Packers faithful saying, you. know, we can kind of maybe get something. for Jordan Love in return of this entire. conversation. How much of those combos. are anywhere near real? Let's not just.

stay here. Huntley in Baltimore. I think. I saw some Ravens fans even talking. about I do like what Huntley Snoop goes. in there and really starts playing. Like, how real are any of those things? and Lamar Jackson next year. Definitely. a Raven. Is that what we're thinking? And Jordan Love next year. Definitely. the starting quarterback for the. Packers. And who is gonna pay Malik. Willis? Maybe the Colts. >> Yeah, >> maybe the Colts. Adam Sher. >> Well, here's what I would say that. >> it's overreaction Monday. Have some.

respect. >> Well, let's overreact and have some fun. But in the NFL, there are no definit. I I it would surprise me to see the. Packers move off Jordan Love from Malik. Willis. Malik Willis is gonna be a free. agent and there's going to be a market. because there are enough teams in that. quarterback space that need help. Like. could you see him in Miami? Could you. see him in Atlanta? Could you see him in. Minnesota? Could you see him in Vegas?

Could you see him in Arizona? Like we. can go on and on. Jets, like there are. any numbers. Don't go to the Jets, Malik. Don't do. it. We like it. Malik, you've already. been in one dysfunctional franchise. We. don't need you to go to another. Tennessee to the Jets. Gez, that'd be a. tough go for a kid who seemingly has it. all figured out and is a great football. player. You didn't say Indianapolis, so. I like that. That means we're probably. bringing back dimes and he's ahead of. schedule is what Shfter saying from my. understanding. What you just said there, Shfter.

>> [laughter]. >> Well, I I think they are banking on. Daniel Jones being back and I do think. that they'll resign him and I do think. he'll be ready for the start of the. season and and if that's the case, then. then the Colts don't need to sign Malik. Wils. Therefore, >> to mention possibility. >> Daniel Jones in the building this past. weekend, by the way, >> okay, he was he was at the game. I I. don't think he was able to do anything. Obviously, he just had surgery. We wish. he would have been able to get down. there on Sylon with the boys and. motivate them cuz what Liam Cohen and. the Jacksonville Jaguars are doing is. outrageous. This is outrageous. What's. going on? Did you know Josh AJ, did you.

know Josh Hines Allen is the biggest. [ __ ] guy on the field? Did you know. that? >> I knew he was a large individual. I. didn't know he was the biggest guy on. the field all the time. I heard you guys. talking about in the first hour, but. yeah, he's he's a he's a gigantic human. being, I guess, the more you look at. him. >> It was startling. Look at I mean, this. is him walking through the tunnel. The. these dudes, obviously, it's Cam Little, the kicker, so it's a little bit. different, but he made everybody look. like that. I I mean, it was everybody. look small. Every human that walked by. him on the field, off the field, looked. tiny. It was I I didn't know that about.

Josh Hines Allen. I guess I should have. known that and I should have looked into. it more, but it was like our offensive. linemen were standing there. Guys I. thought were pretty big and he his. shoulder pads are sticking out wider. than him. I'm like, "What is this. thing?" And then Walker's on the other. side. It's like they're both hunting and. they did not have any time for any of. Philip Rivers' stuff. I mean, there was. there was no. >> He jocularity. There was no jocularity. Whoever threw the ball. Yeah. Yeah. >> Yeah. Well, >> and he damn near killed Josh. >> Hanzo.

One of DTackles, I think, grabbed his. >> Yeah, there was a lot. I I mean, we were. there. I did not expect that type of. heat from the Jags, but then I remember. Liam Cohen has been telling the boys. that everybody on earth has been pissing. in their faces and telling them that. they're nothing, you know, like that. Liam clearly [laughter]. >> that guy's 65 270 right there. Okay, that guy that just got knocked down by. that ball. And that's what Phil Rivers. can do. You know, Phil Rivers throws a. ball that might look slow. It's got. power behind it. And I we didn't do the. full EA equals MC², but if somebody else. is throwing that not that big of a hit.

coming out of Phil Rivers hand, a little. bit more thump to it. A little bit more. thump to it. And we obviously have. respect. Okay, let's start talking a. little bit uh broader pictures and we. don't want to talk futures immediately. because it's not a fun thing to do for. teams or for franchises or for families. or for guys that are potentially losing. their jobs. But we're going in to the. last week of the season. Go ahead, Todd. >> Yeah, Chef. Outside of uh some of the. usual suspects who we've already. discussed this year who coach teams that. absolutely stink and are probably going. to be fired, are there any other names. that are kind of starting to bubble up? Like there's been a lot of smoke about,

hey, maybe the the Colts are firing both. GM and head coach. I saw a lot of stuff, hey, if the Packers with their late. season collapse and if they, you know, are eliminated in the first round of the. playoffs, is it possible that Matt. Laflur loses his job? You mentioned the. Bucks and Todd BS. like are any of those. kind of names starting to kind of bubble. up to the surface or where are we at. right now with coaches on the hot seat? >> Well, I think we're going to get some. conversation about all these guys here. in the next week and the speculation. obviously will run rampant and I think.

it just comes along as part of week 18. It just comes along with this time of. the year. I think when you look at it. and survey the landscape, I think where. it's interesting is that Sunday night. game because somebody's going to lose. that game. And when somebody loses that. game, we heard the Steelers fans. chanting to fire Mike Tomlin earlier in. the year. We've heard Ravens fans saying. that there should be conversations about. John Harbaugh after the season. Somebody, one of those two teams is.

going to come up short. One of those fan. bases is going to be unhappy. One of. those owners is going to want to have. some conversations about what went. wrong. >> And so, I don't know what's going to. happen. And I don't know what the. fallout and all these other coaches that. we're talking about, but every year. there are always some things that. happen. It never just goes the way that. people think it will. There are some. obvious names this year. We already have. two openings. There are some teams that. people have talked about, but it's. always those second tier that that.

unexpected. >> uh. level of indecision coaches that that we. don't know how it's going to go. whether. it's Baltimore or Pittsburgh or in or. where some of these places that haven't. well I I don't think it's going to. happen Indy but again we don't know how. the owner the owner has not said that to. me. >> so on that note on that note when you. talk about Pittsburgh fans Pittsburgh. fans think uh unless Tomlin says I'm. done don't ever make a change I think. Baltimore Ravens fans think that it's.

gotten to that point with John Harbaugh. too so you saying that right there. saying ownership might want to have. conversations I think for Pittsburgh. people their ears perk up a little bit. saying ownership might actually do. something. Didn't know that was even a. feasible outcome in Pittsburgh. I think. is how Yinszers feel. >> Yeah. I I think that somebody's going to. lose that game. And when they do, there. are going to be conversations that occur. all the organization. What went wrong? >> And look, there have been questions. about both coaches futures. What's so. funny? What did I miss? >> Well, just saying somebody's might lose.

that game. They could tie. I guess they I'll tell. you what, >> Tomlin or Harbaugh kicking the extra. point to tie it with 10 seconds left in. overtime would be epic. What happens? Do. we know what happens? >> Steelers go cuz they already won the. first game. >> The Steelers would make it. >> I would I think I believe so. >> Oh, Tomlin would know that and he would. definitely. >> had nine wins and right now the Ravens. have eight wins. So, yeah. >> Mhm. >> That would be a great way for the. Steelers to get into the playoffs. >> Oh my god. A tie.

>> What happened? Chargers Raiders a few. years ago. Oh, I remember almost. happened. The decision was made. >> Then they called timeout and they. decided to go. Yeah. >> Oh, that would be amazing. So, somebody. might lose that. I guess you're right. There's a chance both of them don't. lose. There is a chance that that. happens. [laughter]. >> Well, I also think I also think that. [clears throat] both these coaches, Mike. Tolman and John Harour, for all they've. done, for all they've meant to their. respective organizations, for all. they've meant to the National Football. League, they will have a big say. You.

mentioned owners. I didn't say owners. I. think these guys will go in there and. say, "Okay, you know what? It's been a. great run." One of them may go in there. and say, "It's been a great run. Might. be time to go try something else, whether that's TV or another job. somewhere else." Like those things are. possible. They're within the realm of. possibility for the wide range of. outcomes after week 18. >> That's right. And I will say if you go. back and listen, you did say ownership. We'll have to have some convers. That's. what you said. I'm happy you corrected.

it, Bill. I'm happy you corrected it. because that's how Yinszers and I think. uh Baltimoreers. I don't what are they called. >> Baltimoreans. >> Baltimoreans I feel like they feel the. same way where it's like ownership will. never do anything to the coaches these. coaches have to make the decision so you. know maybe after a week 18 Sunday night. football loss and a miss of the playoffs. there's certainly that to happen or. maybe they think we can run this back. and have some success next year and I. think both fan bases would not be. surprised if that was the outcome now. speaking of surprise surprised. I think.

there's a couple names that are out. there to be a head coach. One of them. though, you know, if he was to get a. head coaching job, I don't think we. would be surprised. Go ahead, Debbie. >> Yeah, we kind of touched on it earlier. with the Robert Salah, but Jesse Mentor, Van Joseph, and Brian Flores, who put on. another master class against the Lions. this week to kind of boot them out of. the playoffs. Saw some I know it's. rumblings time. Maybe Dallas poaching. him to be their next DC or him getting. another opportunity to be a head coach. Uh what's the likelihood of that and. what do you see for the future for Brian.

Flores? >> Well, I think he's in a good spot here. because that defense is very aggressive. and very productive and his contracts. coming up. So, he's a coaching free. agent in the truest sense of the word. He gets to go interview for head. coaching jobs and if one of those works. out great and if it doesn't, there are. enough teams that need a great defensive. coordinator. So, Brian Flores can opt to. stay in Minnesota. he can move on to go. elsewhere. There are, like I said, they're going to be six, seven openings.

this year. Six, seven, eight openings. And those people will need defensive. coordinators and his contract's up. So, he's not locked into staying in. Minnesota if he doesn't want. He's going. to have some options here. And I would. think that he will definitely get some. interviews, head coaching interviews, and we'll see how those go as well. >> Is there still a pending uh. >> Yes. >> Yes. That's all happening with the. league. and Brian Flores. >> Believe that's still out there. >> How about league in John Gruden? Is that. all still happening?

>> I believe that's still out there, too. >> Cuz I'm so confused about the John. Gruden stuff. >> So they won't So neither one of them. would be coaches. >> That's what we're assuming. >> No, I wouldn't say I wouldn't say that. >> while litigation is going on. >> Really? I wouldn't I no I I I think you. know look if there's an owner that wants. somebody whether it's Brian Flores or. John Gern or somebody whatever I mean I. guess there aren't too many people that. have litigation going on against the. league. >> I think that's [laughter]. there's an owner that want to hire one. of those coaches and felt strongly. enough about one of them I think they do.

it. >> interesting cuz Gruden's name not really. being up for anything I'm like am I. missing something? Especially when he is. like very vocally like, "Hey, I still. want to coach. >> and hey, I still only do football all. day." And then it's like Flores with. what he's doing, it's like, "It didn't. go great in Miami, but did anything go. good in Miami at the time?" And then you. automatically start thinking, well, I. get I think they're both in some sort of. litigation. If we know anything about. the. Chef, I appreciate you saying what. you're saying, but I think I I think.

there's a chance that Grud's going to be. opening boxes on the internet for a. little bit or potentially getting a. college gig hopefully or it all gets. settled and figured out and he's back in. the NFL. But on that note, your college. got a new head coach. Go ahead, com man. >> Yeah, Shafty Michigan brings home. Whittingham. How do you feel? Uh, I. think everyone was kind of shocked when. the AD refused to shake his hand, but. how do you feel about the hire in. general and Underwood seemingly staying. as the quarterback as well? >> It it looks like that's about as good as. Michigan could have done here. He seems.

like a great man, great coach. And the. funny thing is is in early December, I. had some people reach out to me about. him and I remember sitting in the green. room before an ESPN show and asking Alex. Smith about him and uh Alex raved about. him to me. I I passed that on to some. people. They went through a whole host. of candidates and they wound up on Kyle. Winningham, which I think Alex Smith. absolutely would have agreed with when. you speak to him. And the people that. know this guy, I I've never met him. I've never spoken with him, but the. people that know him and have been.

around him speak very highly of him. And. uh his record is the same as Michigan's. going back to 2005. They they've had the. same winning percentage. They've had the. same number of winning seat. like it. feels like he's somebody that's going to. come in and stabilize the situation and. get things running in an orderly way. >> He knows exactly who he is, which is. what I think is good for anybody hiring. a coach is the person knows who they. are. Just like I said in that tweet, Campbell too knows exactly who he is,

knows exactly what his team looks like, knows exactly what players he needs. Now, they just get a massive bankroll. behind them and a brand name. Not that. Utah and Iowa State weren't, but we get. it. Michigan and Penn State a little bit. larger. That M and that P or the Lion, I. mean, everything's big with the money. they have behind them. So, I'm like. pumped for Whittingham and for Campbell. to get a chance to experience like, okay, if we do have all of the [ __ ] that. everybody else has, what could we look. like? Cuz it feels like, not that Utah, I'm not saying it doesn't have a great. support at Utah, but in Michigan, the. amount of support they're going to have.

financially and everything. I mean, it's. a Jordan Brand school. I mean, you're. talking about fullcourt press on anybody. you want out there, let alone Larry. Ellison potentially becoming also a. donor to your entire organization. I. like Whittingham. I like the style in. which he coaches. I also like the fact. that the guy will go down a double black. diamond 80 mph on skis. >> That's right. >> Okay. So, this dude is a dog. I don't. know if he's going to be able to find. that in Michigan. Do you guys have any. of those up there in Michigan, Fox? You. guys got mountains? >> Yeah. If you go far enough north, you. can find one. >> Where you Canada? Is that what you're. saying? >> No. Go to Traverse City area. It's.

absolutely beautiful. Well, people are. going to hate that I even said that cuz. it's a hidden gem. >> Okay. So, Okay. So, dump that is what. people in Michigan are saying. Don't. talk about it. But this guy, I like this. guy a lot. I think this is a great hire. And to your point about when the hires. were made, like when the firing took. place, when the hirings were made, getting Campbell and getting Whittingham. for these two schools, I think is a home. run for both of them. I think the Big 10. got better, honestly. >> Yeah. And really, I mean, Michigan just. needed, they're just trying to distance. themsel from the Chiron Moore era as. much as possible. And this guy, I mean,

he's about as good of a guy. Seems like. a standup guy. We've met him before. Like, if he's going to do things the. right way, which is kind of what. Michigan needed for this new iteration. >> Yeah. I'm not sure if you guys saw AJ. over there when we were talking about. it. Guy shaking in his boot. >> Ohio State's nervous. >> Yeah, that's what it seemed like. >> The team up. >> Great hire. Hey, I think best possible. hire. When I was thinking of candidates, he didn't pop up, but I think it's an. absolute slam dunk of a hire from. >> What would people be saying negative. about it? Just he's old. Y.

Yeah, the big stat that I. >> But he doesn't have Michigan ties, I. guess, right? >> That'd be good though, right at this. time. >> Yeah, I remember when James Franklin got. asked, he had the second most ranked. losses as a head coach at Utah. So, I. know that was kind of what some of the. Ohio State Buckeye fans were hold on to. >> We are big fans. Go ahead. >> How old is he? >> 66. Young. 80 miles an hour. >> That's impressive. Yeah, he's a he's a. hos. >> I told him I said skiing's out here.

crazy. He goes, "Oh, yeah. I'll take. you." Like immediately, just like that. And I'm like, "You're skiing out here?". He goes, "Oh, yeah." And then he had a. uh his watch, I guess, cube speed. And. he like showed me it was like 82 miles. an hour last week. I went 82 miles an. hour down double black. So I'm like, "Holy [ __ ] dog. >> Holy [ __ ] dude." He's like, "Yeah, it's. awesome. It's beautiful out here." Like. getting him to leave Utah, I think, is a. big deal, first of all. Like him leaving. the state, I think, is a massive ordeal. So, congrats to Michigan being able to. do that and I think you guys got the. right guy. And shout out to you, I.

guess, saying you guys need to hire. Whittingham. Alex Smith is a good hire. I like Alex's brain. I like yours as. well. Have a good one, Shafty. We. appreciate you. >> Happy New Year to everybody. >> Hey, we you spend New Year's Eve with us. Wednesday night, we'll be on ESPN 2. >> Sure. Absolutely. I'll be watching. I. I'll be Unless you're inviting me on the. show. Yeah, I'll come on. And if you. want to uh if not, then I'll just watch. you guys. That's all. Yeah. >> I don't know if we can have you on. It. would be Ohio State versus Miami, I. guess. >> Oh, they'd be so pissed if a Michigan. man was on during that game, too.

>> Oh, Chev coming in. I know what. Whittingham would do. All right, you're. the man, ladies and gentlemen. Adam. Sher, thank you. >> AJ getting a chance to call that Ohio. State game uh on Wednesday night is. going to be fantastic. I'm so pumped for. it, honestly, especially with the. relationship we've built with the Miami. team. Obviously, Debbut refused to put. the Cowboy hat on down there at Texas. A&M because he's South Florida Hall of. Famer. Broward County Hall of Famer down. there. Miami feels like they're all the. way back. Big underdogs taking on this. Ohio State team. And obviously, we got a.

guy who's got a tree on the Ohio State. campus that's going to be joining us. Felt like we need to do this game, but. we weren't schedu, you know, we do things that are crazy, but we are not scheduled to be on this. game. I believe we're just doing an. extra one. Okay. Bad business by me. Uh. just to kind of give this up and say, "Yeah, we want to do it. We will do it.". But shout out to the people at ESPN for. uh allowing it to happen on such quick. notice. Mike Foss making it happen. Ben. Warden and Dish, I think, are going in. on their New Year's Eve to do this. whenever they weren't supposed to do it.

So like there's a lot of people that as. soon as we sent the text once we found. out that it could be potentially. possible that said yes, let's do it. So. we're very very grateful to be there and. thankful to be there. And uh I think. we're going to enjoy New Year's Eve in a. beautiful way with a great football. game. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah, I think it's going to be an. awesome game. I know the what's the line. still nine and a half for Ohio State. Yeah, it's big and they haven't played. I think that's a big deal. I I think. having that first round buy is not good. I I mean, guess we're going to find out. how it goes, but last year it proved to. be not good. Let the other team kind of.

catch their wind, catch their rhythm, and get the rust off. That's a big deal. in these games. And there's a chance. Miami was able to do that. >> And this will also be the first time. we've ever seen a team get a buy off a. loss. This is the only team, you know, it's only been a couple years, but Ohio. State loses gets a buy. Ryan Day has. been able to pull for what three three. weeks, three and a half weeks about how. you guys stink the number one team in. the country, IU. Everyone's talking. about them. Like it will be interesting. to see. >> AJ, after watching that Miami team live, your thoughts on the matchup? Feels like. physicalitywise they can match up with.

Ohio State. >> Yeah, Miami obviously their their D and. O line is is unbelievable. Big, fast, strong dudes. Their defense runs the. ball. I'm I was super impressed. I I. think I said it multiple times during. that game, but also the the break might. help Ohio State a little bit. did some. some lower body got things with what. Carnell Tate, Jeremiah Smith, both those. guys were kind of dealing with lower. body injuries. So hopefully that little. extra rest will help those guys. >> Valid. I think we're going to see great. on great there. And then obviously we. travel over to California for the Rose. Bowl. Got game day in the morning and. then we'll be field pass ESPN 2 at 4:00.

p.m. Eastern for Alabama Indiana favored. by seven against Bama. >> in the Rose Bowl. Well, in the college. football playoffs at the Rose Bowl. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. a man who's been calling games all. season and has done a fantastic job. Called the Seahawks and the Panthers. Excited to get his take on a team that. could be the number one seed in the NFC, the Seattle Seahawks and everything. else. Ladies and gentlemen, front of the. program, Bull Ring of Honor member down. there in Houston. Future First Ballot. Hall of Famer JJ. >> J. How you doing, pal?

>> I'm doing great. I was just trying to. figure out the math on the travel of. that New Year's Eve 7:30 p.m. Eastern. time game to the Rose Bowl. That is a. tight window for you guys. >> Yeah, you guys is me. I'm the only one. that's on game day the next morning at. 6:00 a.m. local time. I'll certainly be. trying to figure it out. Maybe we go. lights off super quiet in the plane, boys. Okay. >> I'll definitely be sleeping on the. plane. >> Maybe I won't. >> It's going to be intense. I love it. >> That's the issue with me is I won't on. that plane. You know, I will want to.

celebrate life. It's New Year's Eve. The. boys are all on a private plane. We're. living good right now. Why the hell. would I sleep? Well, probably cuz you're. going to have about 2 to three hours. whenever you get to California to go. ahead and do college game day from the. Rose Bowl, which is ridiculous that. you're allowed to be a part of. And then. noon is when game day ends. You got four. hours after that, then you're calling. Rose Bowl and potential torrential. downpour. So, we get to do this, but. yes, it is all very tight and all last. minute thrown together here, JH. All. last minute thrown together. >> Yeah. No, that's uh that's I I listen, it is the best job in the world. You get.

to talk sports. You get to go to the. best venues. You get to do all these. great things. You get to hang out with. your friends. get paid a lot of money. for it does not preclude that's not the. word I don't even I'm not even going to. try. >> we're still following you [laughter] the. correct word is. >> we're all there. >> does not take away from the fact that. that is thoroughly impressive from an. energy and effort a commitment a brain. power standpoint just want to tip a cap. here because I know some people won't. >> okay we appreciate you J don't we. >> appreciate you J thank you J.

spend New Year's Eve with us and New. Year's Day and the next day and the next. day. Go ahead. >> Visually, visually from afar, I will. >> Oh, I thought you were going to travel. down, call a game with us. >> I do not. I do not. I I mean, the Rose. Bowl is my favorite place uh to play. ever. Lost there, unfortunately. But. needs to be the national championship. Sick of us all dancing around it. Everybody wants it. Everybody talks. about it. Let's just do it. Best. atmosphere. Not the best to get in and. out of, but best atmosphere in football. Make it the national championship every.

year. >> Rose Bowl is iconic. It is beautiful. kind of a not going to get into it, but. it is beautiful. It It is a beautiful. scene. Getting in and out of it. Think. they're going to have to figure that one. out. But those mountains. >> Oh, the sand. >> San Gabriel. >> Oh, the Gabriel's. [snorts]. >> And we're not even going to get to see. the cotton candy. >> No, we're not. >> cuz I guess the weather. And by the way, thoughts and prayers to everybody. dealing with the weather over there in. Southern California and across America. Tornado watch last night and warning cut. into the game. Saw Mike Fe, right? That.

was his name. >> Uh, was it? Yeah, I think F E I C. [laughter] K F. >> Huh? >> The weather guy. >> Yeah, I think that was his name. Saw him. pop up while I was trying to watch that. folks. Him having suspenders like this. with this guy. This guy was a stud. >> The best of all time. >> The maybe maybe the greatest of all. time. >> What is this? I missed all of you. >> I missed all of this. I was not playing. >> There was a tornado watch in. Indianapolis, so it obviously cut into. the game. Normally, they take over to. full screen. So, I did appreciate Fox 59.

giving us a little halfy there because. the Eagles and it was like a playthrough. box with Mike Fe on the side of it. But. whenever you talk about the Eagles. taking on the Bills, it's a very. important game. They're very important. game. And meteorologist F knew that. He. said, "I know you guys want to watch the. game. Get your phones out, watch it on. there. Stay away from the windows." I. mean, this guy was really hitting on all. levels. And uh had a couple. grandstanders respond to my tweet saying. like, "He has to do that. It was part of. law." I'm not I know that he's not. choosing to interrupt the NFL game, but.

I'm just saying in December we got a. tornado watch. What the hell is going on. with the weather? I I didn't know this. was potentially the case. And then last. night, it felt like my house was going. to blow away. >> for the entirety of the evening. I I. mean, it was just relentless non-stop. It went from 60° I think it's getting. down to 15. So, that northerly wind that. was coming through Indiana uh caused a. lot of hell. But I was introduced to. maybe my second favorite meteorologist. H he's probably top five. I don't want. to put him up there anywhere near. Dinardo because Dinardo is Donardo. But.

Adam Fe. Okay. Adam Adam Fike. I. apologize. That's all. >> Larry King inspo. >> Yeah, he was great little bit. >> I like that. >> He crushed it. >> I don't appreciate uh the fact that he. basically had three minutes worth of. stuff he had to get out there and they. made him do it for 25 minutes. They. said, "Okay, you got you hit your. three-minute mark, now we're going to. restart. do it again. Then do it again. >> I did appreciate a couple times he was. like, "Do you really look like. >> he kept he kept saying that again?" Not. seeing many tornado signatures here.

[laughter] But again, you know, uh we do. have this kind of pocket up here of. severe weather and he just he did that. on repeat. >> So all anybody was saying was, "Well, if. you're not seeing anything, why the hell. is this guy on my TV?" Like Adam Fe's. making the decision, you know, and uh. we'd like to let him know, thank you for. taking advantage of the moment, Adam Fe, you looked incredible. I'm expecting. that type of drapes from anybody that. shows up on my TV during the weather. ever again. Thank you, Adam. It does. look like kind of a larger bill. >> Is that a hard part in the hair? Is that. a hard part?

>> Well, that it wasn't like that before. That's actually the wind. So, it used to. just kind of sit flat, but he was trying. to showcase what the wind was doing for. the tornado watch that was coming. >> Just got off the boat. Merchant Marine, I believe, is what I looked into. >> I don't I don't know if the Marines are. going to like that. Uh, you know, he he. potentially. >> saw saw a couple built like that. >> I don't think so. I don't think so. Sergeant Major literally told us, "We. don't do uh. >> I'm not going to say you do the weather. We appreciate. >> the devil, though.". >> No, he's not. No, he is not. No, he is.

You know how I know. I'm just looking. I. I can tell that that is Let's get to the. other. >> part. >> He grew up in Alig County. >> Yeah. >> Adam Fightton. [laughter]. >> and he served eight years. >> You got a bump. Was he a plum Mustang? >> He definitely Dinardo is definitely his. >> his is inspo. >> Yeah. >> And I appreciate him saying it's a big. game. I get it. I don't want to be here. either. Get your phones out and get away. from the windows. Actually, it doesn't. look like there's anything that should. keep you away from the windows. I don't.

know why. We're still in the middle of a. warning. But I'll tell you why. It was. crazy. But that means good football is. happening. You saw the Seahawks. Let's. talk about this. You had Seahawks. Panthers. Is that accurate? >> That is accurate. >> Number one seed potentially for this. Seattle Seahawks team. How do you feel. about the squad that McDonald's been. able to put together? And what do you. think is their superpower over there? Their defense obviously outstanding. Sam. Donnold playing great. Is it their. culture? Is it their vibes? What do you. like about the Seahawks after calling. their game? >> Yeah, I mean their defense is obviously.

unbelievable. Uh they started slow in. this one, which they also did against. the Rams the week before. um took him a. while to get the game going, specifically offensively, and then they. took advantage of a couple huge. turnovers in Carolina territory in the. second half that really sprung board. this game and kind of broke it wide. open. But their defense is just. unbelievable. I think it was like. halfway through the third quarter, the. Panthers had 16 yards of passing on. offense. There was just nowhere to go. Those DTackles up front, Leonard. Williams and Byron Murphy are so stout.

on the double teams and they shut down. the run and then they also dominate. against the pass. You got Eman Worry on. the back end and all those guys. Witherspoon like Mike McDonald's a. genius. He he dials up so many different. things. Um and then they did find their. rhythm in the second half. Uh it just. they have to start a little bit faster, but they have guys everywhere and. Darnold can do it all. Clint Kubak draws. up some great schemes. I thought the. Panthers defense held their own for a.

while in this game. It was the short. fields that ultimately got him and hurt. him and then there was one huge penalty. that kind of swung the momentum of the. game when the Panthers had him in third. and 30 and got a face mask penalty to. give an automatic first down that kind. of hurt them. >> Okay, so obviously inopportune penalties. will certainly affect an outcome. Seahawks have the ners on Saturday. night. Did you watch last night's epic. Sunday Night Football game of the year? And you know, obviously two good. defenses for the Chicago Bears and the. Niners. Didn't really matter because.

Perie and Caleb put on a show, but. Pertie has been dialing it up the last. three weeks. He's outstanding. Obviously, Christian McCaffrey dealing. with a little bit of back spasm, I think. is what I heard. Sher, he's seemingly. still explosive and unstoppable. Then. you got guys all over the place making. plays. Trent Williams with a hamstring. Who knows what that looks like going. forward. But this Niners team, no Fred. Warner, no Bosa, no problem. Is that. what we're thinking for the Niners, JJ? >> I mean, they are, it's incredible. And I. know there's people out there that say.

Kyle Shanahan in the coach of the year. category, and we've kind of turned that. into a who turned an organization around. fast as opposed to, you know, true coach. of the year, which is is understandable. and rightfully so. But he's done such an. incredible job. Um, having to go between. all the guys that are missing, M. Jones, going back to Perie. Um, I went I. watched the beginning of this game and. saw the TJ Edwards pick six and a couple. of the other plays. Went to put my son. to bed. Came back down and it was 3535. and I was like, "What the hell did I.

miss?" Oh yeah. >> Watch the end of the game and it was I. feel like this is the year of the game. of the year. We've had some of the. greatest games coming down to the ends. this year. There's just if you were. doing an Oscar style category, it would. be very difficult to whittle it down to. enough to six to put on the screen. >> Fourth quarters, it's two. So, prime. time games, fourth quarters, cuz. sometimes these first halves, not last. night, but some of these games, first. halves have been half, you know, kind of. boring. A little late night, 9:30,

10:00, prime time games kind of starting. a little bit slow. People fall asleep, myself included. Then you wake up, whatever time you wake up, you look at. your phone and you go, "What happened. last night?" And then you find out, "Oh, most epic fourth quarter of all time. Oh, 17-point comeback. Oh, they were. able to get crazy in the second half.". It has been a lot of that. I think the. game that the thing that made this one. different is from jump literally pick. six to start the entirety of it all and. the energy never relented. Debut. >> Yeah, it was unbelievable offense. The.

one that I can remember most recently. would probably be the Seattle Rams one. with the two-point play. Like that that. was a wild game. Unbelievable game. Yeah, this has definitely been the year. of the uh the great game for sure. >> Good for the NFL. >> Got the Packers Bears one. I mean, there's so many. It's insane how many. that there have been. Uh it's. >> Yeah. >> JJ Vikings. JJ McCarthy Vikings Bears. Was that four? >> Yeah. Week one. >> Week one or week two. >> Bills Patriots a couple weeks ago. Josh. Allen coming back down 21 nothing. Yes. Texas Jag 20 26 straight.

>> Texas Jags. Yeah. >> Oh, [snorts] Danny Dimes when he didn't. punt for like five weeks. Remember? >> Every game was the game of the year. >> Good times, man. >> There's been some I mean like that that. game last night was obviously awesome. because you got the coaches, the. masterminds, the the people like you can. just see so many different mind games. going on within the game. I think that. there's been some really really good. coaching matchups this year showcasing a. lot of skill on the sideline. Uh, we. mentioned or I mentioned there in Pertie. just filthy. I mean, in the douge in the.

Euro step into the Douggee. Keep doing. it, Pertie. Keep doing it, Pertie. We. need more of that, not less of that. Uh, I'm excited that he's coming into his. own and obviously he's a wealthy man at. this point. And I think he gave away. Toyotas uh uh as his gift, but also I. think to vets as well. How do you feel. about the quarterback gift thing that we. got going on? Lot of ads. Okay. A lot of. ads, which I respect. I respect that. It. has become an adbased thing. I don't. think that's necessarily the. quarterback's fault. Quarterback gifts. to the offensive line has been a thing.

since the beginning of football, I. assume. I'm not 100% sure. I'm not a. quarterback, but then it becoming like a. sponsored event almost. I don't hold it. against quarterbacks because if I was. being offered up and and this is not to. his offensive line. This is the vets. Shout out to Brock Perry doing this. But. to quarterbacks buying things for their. offensive line, it has become an. interesting little game, J. It has. become an interesting little game. And. the fact that Joe Burrow. bought something that was not. sponsorable. Okay. Fossils. >> I like the move. I think that was a.

statement about like, "Hey, I bought. these." Like, I think that was Joe. Burrow saying, "I bought these things.". Your thoughts, debut? >> Uh, I wouldn't say that. I don't I don't. know. >> Do you think big dinos away fossils to. Joe Burrow to give to the. >> offense? I just I don't think m I don't. think it's a burrow statement. I just. think it's burrow. We seen the. quarterback. He's just a different. >> We win six games and I get bones. [laughter]. >> Is there there any part of him like. looking across being like, "Man, did. those guys just get 4x4s? Did those guys.

just get pickup trucks?" Like, this is. really cool. >> Fossils. Please have some respect for. these dinosaurs. >> I'm sure Ted Carris loved it. Ted Carris. is a jovial jovial lad. If I see someone. get in a truck in a 4x4 and I got to. take home a freaking mammoth tooth. >> What about a quarter of a cow? >> I I think quarter of a cow is also sick. >> Okay. >> Remember last year it's Cindy Lhoo, man. It's Cindy Lhoo. We're all doing it at. every level. Some of us with our own. kids, some of it with our offensive.

lines. It's all commercialism. Who can. have the most? And now you're sitting. there trying to figure it out. The. brands are calling. It's corporate. I. don't hate them for taking it. I've done. my fair share of endorsements and ads. over the year. I can't hate on anybody. for that. But is that where are we at? Is is an offensive line going to get a. house in the next 5 years? >> Coldwell Banker coming through. >> Just guys, whole neighborhood's ours. Here's your keys. >> I mean, there's a chance that's 60. million a year. Let's start go ahead and. paying for some.

>> We're all Guys, we need to create the. chemistry. We're all in the same. culde-sac. Look, five starters, five. houses. I'm at the end on the corner. the O line chemistry compound where you. buy just 10 ranch homes, you know, no. fail. >> Yeah, you gota you got to live behind. the center. >> Oh, the lineup is actually center. guards, tackles, backups right behind. them, obviously bigger than yard for the. starters. Something to think about. building a whole compound then. investment money obviously into it so we. can sell this later to another builder.

>> If these guys want to really be good. teammates, this is what they should be. doing. >> Yeah. Bonding. >> Oh, fossils. Good one. It's it's it's. got to happen. >> Bones. >> They're fossils. >> You're into fossils. I'm surprised. >> Imagine walking in and being like Joe. Burrow, big fashion guy. I'm going to. get a Louis Vuitton suit or bones. >> They're fossils. >> Last year was the last year was the. samurai. This year is the fossils. They're building like a museum in their. houses. You stay there long enough, they're going to have the Smithsonian. >> I like that he's thinking outside the.

box. What does he. >> Yeah. Grow samurai swords and dinosaur. It stinks every year. >> Oh my god. Got the. >> I haven't seen Do we have a picture of. any of them? Like is it like a T-Rex. tooth? Like what kind of fossil is that? >> Tank got a Ted Car's got like a mammoth. tusk and then I believe that's cool. >> That is very cool if it was the whole. head. >> Huh? >> The whole head. >> Well, I've seen the rock. The rock. Yeah, T-Rex head. >> Is that what gi.

That's fake? >> No, it's not. The rocks is fake, too. That's what you're going to have to deal. with now. Hey, this is my my mammoth. tusk that Joe Burrow got me for. Christmas one year. Yeah. Okay, Ted. [laughter] Okay, take Where your Where. are your Hot Wheels, too? Let's go play. with those, Ted. I'm sure you believe in. that. >> Probably just gave it to his dog to chew. on. >> Here's a picture of the tusk. Everybody. will think it is true and real. That is. cool. >> Oh, yeah. >> Merry Christmas. >> It might be worth $2,000.

Nice bones, Ted. Not cool. >> Leave that under your pillow for the. tooth fairy, too. >> I didn't see that one. That That was. stinks. I thought it was like a T-Rex. head or something. >> What about a side by side, though, Eric? Exactly. >> That one to the right. There was a mini. There was a mini head. That was cool. Look at the Look at the mini head. That's cool. >> Joe kept that for himself. Uh Ted got to. got home with this thing and threw that. [ __ ] in the corner of his garage. >> No, he did not. He got first pick as a. dinosaur. I went to the children's.

museum this weekend. There's a lot of. dinosaurs. Yeah, there's bones. everywhere. I want to let you know, Ted, we appreciate Joe. I appreciate that Joe. spent his own money on this stuff. Not. that everybody else isn't doing it. Well, actually, I don't know if he. donated big museum. >> He may have dug them up himself. What do. we know? Like Joe could have dug these. up in the offseason. >> True. >> I mean, very valid. He could have. cleaned these things, framed these. things, did the whole thing. So, we. appreciate that any gifts are being. given. It's the holiday season. It's. very kind. But I'll tell you what, the. boys hopping in those side by sides. Oh, that had to feel so cool with that.

garage kind of opening up. >> What's that? It. >> did his own archaeological dig. He was. out in out in the middle of Egypt just. digging up bones. >> Would you be shocked? I wouldn't be. shocked. >> Me either. >> With direct. such a cool layer to the story. I feel. like it would take a long time. Connor, would you rather have that Galactica. game in the background or the whole. table of bones? >> I mean, you just nailed it. Yeah. Give. me Give me the Give me the arcade game, Joe. I don't want your stupid bones. Okay. [laughter]. I want something that I can actually.

have fun doing. What am I just gonna. stare at my bone for three hours? No. And and and let alone. >> James, there was no reason to do what. you just did right there. Okay. You knew. it. You knew what you were doing the. whole time. Joe Burrow, thank you for. thinking about your teammates. >> Oh, maybe maybe he got those for someone. else and he was like, "Shit, nobody. wants these. Guess I give them to my. alignment." Yeah, these guys suck. anyway. These stupid ass dinosaur. owners.

Do you guys do gifts? Do you guys do. gifts? >> Yeah, we uh hang out with each other. every day. It's to give present. Presents. >> Oh, the gift that keeps on giving. >> Every day, you [laughter] know, every. day. You got New Year's Eve night. together, New Year's Day together, the. next day together. >> Is anybody's significant others ever. like, "Hey, this is a lot.". >> Uh, yeah. I would I would assume that. that is happening in a lot of houses. just by just by my personal research. Okay. I would assume. And shout out to. Sam. Love you, baby. Absolutely love.

you. And McKenzie, you know, it's. amazing. But yeah, there's a lot. >> Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's. Day. You guys are there. And I saw you. went you went in on the day after. Christmas. You were like, I had to stop. in and pick up some stuff. I'm like, is. anybody ever like you're going in on the. one day you don't have to be there and. you're still going in? >> No. First of all, you know, always Okay. always, which is a part of the problem. and I do understand that. But wife. absolute badass and you know we're. pregnant right now. She's pregnant right. now. Uh baby Bambino, every once in a. while there's going to be days where.

you're a little sick. You know, might. have uh some things. So me getting out. of the house probably good move for. about an hour or two. You know what I. mean? So then getting back in there. But. yes, we enjoy the hell out of what we. do, but we do a lot of it. You know, somebody has to. Somebody gets to and. it's us somehow. >> Oh yeah. >> I have no idea how that's the case. We're incredibly lucky to do it. That's. JJ. That's AJ. The boys are here. We. continue digitally. Be a friend. Tell a. friend something nice. Jage. >> might change her life. >> Wow. Wow. >> Wow. >> Nailed it. The best way yet.

>> Oh. Oh. A little party. You threw a. little party. >> And 2025 on a high note, baby. >> Yeah, baby. >> Let's do it. >> I'll tell you what, you're becoming a. full television broadcaster like that. with the fingerpoint, too, on the throw. out. That was pretty good. That was. pretty natural out of you. Hey, how how. tall are you? What's your weight? What's. your dims? >> Uh, six feet 6 in, 272 pounds. >> Just a Goliath of them. >> Josh Hines Allen. Have you seen Josh. Hines Allen? You and him eye to eye,

right? Huh? I mean, that's like. >> Yes. Yep. Met with him a couple weeks. ago. Great player, big dude. >> What is that? Gorilla uh Godzilla and uh. Kong. That that is when you two were. looking at He was bigger than everybody. Like he was bigger than everybody on the. field. He was unbeliev I had no idea he. was that large. I I genuinely had no. idea until I saw. >> I mean, what do you think of like uh. DeForest Buckner? >> Well, he hasn't played much because he's. got a hurt neck and I I am very worried. about Deorest Buckner because he played. and then now he's not playing again.

That means did something bad happen. Would like to let Deforest procedure. >> We appreciate the hell out of DeForest. Buckner. We love DeForest Buckner. [clears throat] Thank you for your. service and we hope you come back to. play football. But anytime you're. talking neck is crazy. But yeah, Deforest Buckner big. But I DeForest. Buckner middle of the line, you know. So, I'm not watching like like Josh. Hines Allen, we're seeing him do like. little guy [ __ ] And it's like I don't. think in my head I had him pegged as the. biggest [ __ ] on the field, you know, just by watching his film. He's.

gigantic. >> He is I the the the most impressive. recently physical specimen I've seen is. Denil Hunter. He is as like if you were. building it in a lab, Denil Hunter is. it. It's unbelievable. >> Okay, on that note, go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Jage, after Saturday night when it. looked like the Texans were about to. beat the Chargers by just a hundred and. the offense started to look pretty good, we obviously know how good their defense. is. Do you think they're the scariest. team in the AFC right now going into the. playoffs? >> I mean, I I think you're going to be.

hardressed to find a team that would. prefer to play them uh over some of. these other teams. I think their defense. just being what it is, their offense. finally starting to really figure it out. and come together. They they've said all. season long that Nick Kayley, CJ Stra, they're trying to find exactly what the. identity of the offense is going to be. and get everything to click. And they're. starting to find that, which is. dangerous. It's the perfect time to. start it. And their defense is what's. kept them in it all year long to allow. the offense time to figure it out. Uh.

they are they are nasty. They are tough. They are physical. They take the ball. away. They hit you in the mouth. They. wear you down all game long. Um, so I. don't think many people are going to. want to see them. And I'm looking. forward to seeing how far they can go. because I think that, you know, this. it's an organization that's never been. to the AFC Championship game, obviously. never been to the Super Bowl, and I. think this city would go absolutely. bananas if they were able to do it. >> And CJ's got it. CJ's got it in there, you know, if he needs to. Third and.

long, we need one. Fourth and 12, we. need one. He can make the play. We. assume they all can. Anybody can win it. this year. It's kind of everybody's. conversation. Patriots really the most. dominant team in the entire NFL, but. they might not even get the number one. seed in the AFC. The Broncos could get. it. And just to go back a couple. minutes, Ted Carris sent over the photo. Okay. And uh that is a woolly mammoth. tuck uh tusk. That's 30,000 years old. Okay. Does that change anybody's. opinions? That thing was uh uh late. >> I'm on record saying the tusk is cool.

I'm on record. [laughter]. We're trying to bring whatever's behind. it. >> There's a T-Rex head in that picture. Someone got that. They want. >> That's a baby T-Rex, it appears. >> Okay, that's cool. >> The the killed the baby killed a baby. >> Well, I don't think I think these things. potentially died all at one time. >> AJ, >> we don't know. We don't know. >> Allegedly. >> Allegedly. >> Were you there? Were you there? >> What's the thing behind? Directly behind. cuz that thing looks like it stinks. >> The rat. Oh, like on the table behind or. >> you mean? Yeah. Everything on.

>> the table behind that little thing. That. little thing. Did somebody eat just. that? >> Yeah. Yeah. that is one person they they. showed up one by one. I believe it was. Senority picks first and then went down. the line and whoever was last ended up. with like Yeah. elephant poop or. something that was fossilized. >> Okay. So then this one, the mammoth. tusk, woolly mammoth tusk, uh perafrost. deposits in Yakasha, Russia. Okay. So. dinosaurs are in Russia. Dinosaurs are. all over the place. Great.

>> Although I was not there. AJ. >> would have destroyed the room that I was. in. on it. Are you [ __ ] me, Joe? You're making $250 million a year. I got. bones. Buy get me something cool, Joe. You just spend 10 million bucks on a. Batmobile and I get bones. What a joke, man. Just found out. >> I request a trade. >> Bones that spy on you as well. >> We don't know if this is a Russian. olarpie. >> It's certainly possible. >> Yeah. Don't get me started on the birds.

over there. >> All right, let's let's keep let's keep. moving. Let's keep moving. I appreciate. the fossils as a gift. I think it's very. thoughtful. And the baby T-Rex over. there. I, you know, I didn't know they. came in that size. Okay. I've never seen. I've only seen him in the big thing was. papermâché. >> Thought they popped out of the womb full. full boore. >> Pap. >> Did you know? Were you there, J? Do you. know? Were you ever there? >> I mean, I I assumed that they they were. babies in eggs and then were grown. Yeah. I did not think that the eggs came.

full size. I've ever seen it. I've never. seen it. So, just like Jesus, I don't. want to get into it, but I've only seen. him as an adult, I think, and baby. I. He's probably so handsome, I assume, through his teenage years. >> Oh, yeah. There's a couple, you know, still shots of like when the the tax. collectors were set up in the temple, and he went in there, he was like, "Uh-uh, [ __ ] this bullshit." And he. started flipping tables over. >> Oh, really? Vascularity, I assume. First. ever big time. >> First ever vascularity. I'll tell you, that's amazing to think about.

>> He had a crew cut, too. That was before. he had the long hair. >> Oh, in the middle. He was in one of. those middle stages growing it. >> Mhm. [laughter]. >> Kind of like Adam. >> Hey, look up how much that will mammoth. tusk will go for. Like someone might pay. 200k for that. >> at least. >> I mean, somebody did last week. >> Yeah, exactly. They got the present and. said, "Oh, thank goodness. I'm going to. sell this." And that'll be my present. My present will be what I get for cash. for this bone. It's a fossil. >> I like that Joe's in the holiday spirit. >> Me, too. gift. >> Somebody's calling Boohoo Burrow. So,

I'm glad that you know he wasn't. >> It does seem like your ALGO is picking a. lot of I'm curious about this cuz. Mammoth's tusk values vary from a few. hundred. >> Okay. >> Okay. For a few small fragments to tens. of thousands, even over a hundred. thousand. This might be the best. investment they've ever made. Joe Burrow. is giving them stock. Basically, Joey. Burrow is giving him a collectible. Joey. B says, "Hey, hang on to this thing. In. about 5 years, couple hundred thousand.".

>> Wait, wait, wait. A rare 100b 9 ft tusk. might be 67 grand. That sucker ain't 100. lb and it definitely ain't 9 ft. >> You don't know. >> It might be 15. It might be 15. >> The best thing you can do with a gift is. sell it. It's a bad gift. >> No, it's an investment. People give. people stocks all the time. That's. something you can do. You're trying to. sell that thing at the end. could go. down as the worst quarterback gift ever. >> Look at that video of a Aaron giving out. those gifts. Those guys are having the. best time of their lives.

>> Yeah, the the ners lineman. Holy [ __ ]. we got trucks. >> Where do you stop on the trucks or the. 4x4s? So, you got the starting five. Like, is the guy that signed to the. practice squad last week, is he getting. one or is he just kind of awkwardly in. the corner? Who's where is the line? I. think you're telling a couple of them. that they need to wait in the cafeteria. The boys and I need to go take. [laughter]. >> Yeah. Starters meeting 53 man meeting. right now. >> What's your number exactly? You stay.

>> Here's a $500 Target gift card. >> Congratulations. one for those big ones. >> Door. >> for those big gifts. Like it's really. interesting where that cut off. >> got to go the whole way. >> What do we think is happening? We think. half they're paying half for these. things cuz it's still a lot of money. I. mean, those things are like 25 grand a. pop. Like 30 grand. >> Uh, at le Yeah, I would say at least at. least half for not I would say more than. half. I don't think it's as much as. everybody thinks that. >> I think so, too. Yeah. I I Me even.

bringing it up like, well, it's an. advertisement. I feel like I'm. undervaluing how much they're actually. spending on each one. They're still they. might get a discount, like a good. discount. Like, hey, can we make a video. that we're doing this? And I think. probably the local dealership there in. Pittsburgh was a part of it because I. think he shouted it out. He used that. local dealership isn't just giving up 12. of these things for free, you know. Yeah. Give us a social media post. Still. spending a lot of money on these gifts. But I do like that it has become a. little bit of uh Hey, you got an epic. thing. Can we uh and then you'll uh.

>> Boom. Perfect. Yep. >> Cuz back in the day it used to be a lot. of watches. I think guys got a lot of. watches. >> Better than bones. >> Let's go through this. >> Lot of bags. Lot of Louis and Gucci. A. lot of Louis and Gucci. >> Better than Bones. I mean, we there's. going to be hardressed to find. >> jet skis. Who's in jet skiis? That's a. great. >> I've seen jet skiis in the past. I feel. like. >> uh what wasn't it? Was it Adrien. Peterson who gave all of his linemen in. Minnesota like uh snowmobiles. >> because Minnesota.

bones? You're going to go out and get. them yourself. >> Okay. So, on that note of Adrien. Peterson, um OJ Simpson I believe had. five 200 yard games. Adrien Peterson had. six 200 yard games and after uh Saturday. the Baltimore Ravens running back. Derrick Henry had seven 200 yard games. most in history. Go ahead con man. >> Yeah J obviously you know Derrick Henry. former Titan you former Texan. What is. it like when you're playing a guy like. Derk Henry u and I say guy like Derk.

Henry but there's no one like him. So. what is it like playing Derrick Henry. when he is rolling like that? He was. unstoppable on Saturday night. keeps the. Ravens season alive and causes this week. 18 Sunday Night Football showdown. against Pittsburgh. But can you just. talk a little bit about Derrick Henry. and some of your battles you guys had uh. in the division back in the day? >> Yeah, it's not fun. It's not fun at all. Uh and I can tell you the thing that's. crazy. I mean, everybody knows it. Obviously, the discussion after last.

week was very loud about it. But the. thing about Derk Henry is early in the. game, he may not even get rolling huge, but you just keep feeding him regardless. because of the wear and tear it puts on. a defense throughout the game. Having to. tackle him over and over and over again. wears the entire defense down by the. third and fourth quarters and then he. can pop off even more big runs. So, that's what gets frustrating. I we've. called a couple Ravens games this year. and you see them and and yeah, they fall.

behind a little bit so they think you. got to go to the air a little bit more, but the reality of the situation is you. just keep feeding the beast and at some. point it's going to pop and at some. point it's going to demoralize the. defense and wear them down and he is. going to have his way. you watch that. Packers game and it's like yeah that's. that's what happens and it's such a you. know for them it's such an unfortunate. stark contrast from the week before. where you're like why didn't you just do. that because it it's don't make it so. complicated just do the stuff that's. been successful for so long and the.

Ravens offense is the most successful. when they have that run game rolling and. they're running those complex run. schemes that mess with defenses and. Derrick Henry's running wild. >> 200 plus yards four touchdowns one. Lambo. >> I think I might be on two of those. >> What in the 200 yard games? >> I think I might be I think I might be on. minimum of two. >> So, what was it? Your team just quit cuz. I I think that's the thing like Adrien. Peterson I and I said this earlier so I. don't want to act like it's my first.

time saying it, but I never really. watched OJ play. Uh I've seen him run. the but the the Adrien Peterson and. Derrick Henry running styles are like. very punishing. Like they are beating. you up. So you could see how if he was. to get 130 yards, he's probably getting. 150 yards, which is probably getting 200. yards. And if it was five quarters, probably going to be getting 300, 400. yards because I think his fourth quarter. stats are outrageous, too. Like to your. point about just keep feeding him, he's. going to beat you down. It's like he. really can get a team to quit, make.

business decisions. Like what is it. about it whenever he gets rolling, J? >> Yeah. The thing the thing that I've. always said about playing him and I. think a lot of teams say this is you. have to stop him in the back field. otherwise that momentum going downfield. and the ability like once he's through. the line of scrimmage it's over. He's. stiff arming people. He's running over. people. He's running away from people. You have to try and stop him before he. gets that downfield momentum going. And. so like a couple of the games that we. had against him, you let him through. that line of scrimmage. I think he had a.

96 yard touchdown on like the first. drive of the game against us. and boom, you're already halfway to 200 yds after. the first drive of the game. And it's. just he's it's that rare combination. that he can break through it, he can run. over you, and then he can run away from. you. Like a lot of these guys that can. run through you or stiff arm you down to. the ground aren't having that breakaway. speed where they can get out in the open. and run away from everybody. He has both. and it's unbelievable and it's so hard. to stop. But the key is you have to. penetrate the backfield and stop his.

feet before they get going downfield. north and south. >> We said it was cheating that he signed. with the Ravens because obviously you do. your E= MC square squared. Uh I don't. know what the 22nd would be in the math. terms, but. >> 22nd power. >> Okay. Boom. Thank you. And how do I do. that on my phone? I I don't know how to. put the two up there. Is there a button. I can push to get? >> Hold it down. Hold it down. >> Hold it down. What? The C. >> the two. the two and then it will help. you put it up or it'll shoot it up.

>> Shoot it up there. >> Nope. It doesn't do that. That does that. for the degrees if you do zero. Okay. It. doesn't do it for the. >> little arrow. The little arrow up top. Like if you're going to do that on the. calc button like that is what would. symbolize uh the to the power. >> That feels like it's so 1999 though. Do. we not have. >> Yeah, you got Texas instrument. The. Apple calculator. Anyways, this guy. could light up a room for 90 seconds. with how powerful he is, the amount of. energy he could create with the amount. of jewels that he has, which is a 5,500.

Now, it'd be 45 90 mph fast balls all at. the same time. Okay. It'd be a 2,000lb. vehicle moving at 8 mph and there you. are just standing in front of it with no. brakes. Okay, this will be fun. That is. Dererick Henry football. Jade has been. there, done that. That's why I respect. him. Age, did you play Derrick Henry. whenever he was rolling? >> I never played. Nope. Never played. Derek. And I'm very happy I never played. Dererick Kender, but JJ is right. If you. don't if you don't get penetration up. front and make him like reset his feet. and go east to west in the back field, you're screwed. He's coming downhill on.

everybody. >> Adrien Peterson, you had though, right, for years. >> Yeah. Yeah, that was fun. [laughter]. >> Honestly, cuz we talked about it being a. cheat code when he went to Baltimore. because he had Patrick Ricard there too. is like 320 lb defensive end. But back. in the day whenever it was CTE football. like you guys were playing up there in. the NFC North. I mean Adrien Peterson I. assume he had some fullback as well that. was coming through there they were. trying to kill you offer. >> they were trying to beat you up. I mean. that's what they were trying to do and. you just had to stare it down every. single time. >> Yeah. That's when you're uh you got to.

play like the old old school cliche like. hey we got to be gap sound. Nobody can. peak. You got to all we got to we got to. build a wall up front and counting on pe. counting on all 11 guys getting to the. ball to bring this dude down. Oh. >> jeez. >> Jeez. Look how look how look how violent. Adrian runs. Just look at like he runs. >> I have so much respect for him. Honestly, I love that. >> So, okay. So, tell me this. I. >> Willie Gay was 17. He tried. >> Yeah, he definitely tried. We appreciate. him doing that. But everybody's reaction.

being gez. Okay, that to [laughter] that. highlight popping up right there is. special. Uh but age, I know you're big. uh Ohio football guy. Okay, I know that. And Jage, you as well. Fresh out of. Wisconsin. were big tough guys night. before those types of games, you know, like, hey, tomorrow I'm in it. Like. literally, tomorrow we not that you. weren't in practice with [ __ ] because. you guys have told us neither of you. would turn it down, but anytime you're. playing Adrien Peterson or Derrick. Henry, it's a mindset, too. Like, hey, we got to [ __ ] this is going to be. >> jump. Don't let him get going. Yeah. It's like, hey, don't let this guy get.

going. Especially if you're on the road. and say the first series and rip off. like a eight yard, 12 yard, 25 y, then. they get the crowd behind them and then. it's just like, all right, here we go. That's when guys start you start um you. start doing things you don't normally. do. Guys jump out of a gap like, "Okay, this guy the Dlineman, this I got a. shade. He's supposed to be in the A gap. Oh, he might think this time, hey, maybe. I just peek into that B gap." And then. everyone behind him. It's like a, you. know, a domino effect. Everyone behind. you doesn't know what to do. And then. all of a sudden, the rest of the game, you're sitting there trying to. communicate and figure out what to do.

>> You're the one peeking, Jade. Stop. peeking, dude. >> That's a fact. Yes. I let everybody. behind me figure it out. I'm That's what. nice nice part about being up front. to. do it [laughter] as you guys figure it. out. It's good that we'll play off you. if you do it. If you're decisive, you. guys behind you will play off of it. Absolutely. I'm with you. >> If you're in that post, >> I was very decisive. I was very. decisive. >> How about change? 100% right. Yeah, I'm. [ __ ] going. Yeah, you got to figure. that out. [laughter]. >> That's a fact. Play fast, AJ. Make them. right. And if the night before, if. you're that free safety, like you're not. worried about, you know, X going deep.

and getting off the ass. You worried. about 22 or 28 hitting the A or B gap. coming straight down. It's just you and. them and nine yards between you two. That is a [ __ ] nightmare. [laughter]. Nightmare. Yeah, >> that's the fear. That's like what up. front we're like, do not let them get on. the safeties because that that's a loss. Like it doesn't like you could have the. best safeties in the world. At some. point he is going to stiff arm him or. run over the top of him. That's just a. fact. So up front we're like, dude, we. have to stop this or it is a problem.

>> Let's talk about up front. There might. be somebody on the move. If you listen. to Jay Glazer, what what did Jay Glazer. say about the situation in Las Vegas? What did he have? >> Uh, scoopage. Uh, basically Max Crosby. is [ __ ] pissed at the Raiders and he. wants out of town. >> Okay, so I don't know if that was the. exact report, but Jay Glazer [ __ ]. welcome back. We like whenever Jay is. mixing it up, okay? And if Jay's going. to start mixing it up during the playoff. run here, we [ __ ] love that, Jay. But. he said basically Max Crosby, uh, who's. been playing through some stuff was. told, "Hey, you can't play. They. wouldn't clear him. You need to get knee.

surgery in the offseason. just can't do. it. He got upset, left the building. Pete Carol was asked about it. Pete. Carol mentions, you know, um something. along the lines of, "We've been talking. about this for a while now." Now, go. ahead, Duda. >> Yeah, with the Condor. I was want to. know, did you deal with any situations. like this? I know everybody's kind of. banged up week 17, week, week 18. A lot. of people can opt out and get surgeries. And sitting down, obviously competitor. like this. Have you ever dealt with. something like this in your career? What's your thoughts on Max and his. future?

Um, I haven't dealt with that exact. thing. I definitely, uh, have been a. part of, you know, some teams that were. out of it at the end and teammates and. and seen some situations where, um, there were there were decisions made in. that light. Um, but I clearly he's. trying to show in these videos that he's. fine. He wants you to know that he's. fine. And uh also I'm just with. everybody else in the internet trying to. figure out why he has advertisements on. the [laughter] boards in his in his own. house which was.

>> I think there's a chance somebody else. is paying for that gym that he has in. there. It's a beautiful gym. Looks like. it's a couple million bucks. New era. Papa John's. Anybody else want to kind. of get in on it? Maybe somebody else. foot the bill for him or he just wants. it to look legit so he puts some ads on. the pad. That. >> is great. Whatever. Um, but I mean it. sucks. Like he's he's a guy who's such a. great player. He's stuck in a very tough. situation there. I mean, if you. literally just look at the contract that. he signed last year, he could have. signed a significantly better contract.

I mean, it is he that was a very. team-friendly deal. When you look at the. play that he's had and the leverage that. he had that he did not use, which to his. credit, he was taking that deal for that. reason. He wanted to get it done early. Great. But that is a deal that could. have been significantly better for him. >> He's back in the building. Ian Rapaort. is reporting that Raiders coach Pete. Carol says Max Crosby is back in the. building today. Okay. Everybody wanted. to chitchat about him not being in. building and him being pissed off. And.

Pete Carol said, "I knew he'd be pissed. off. Any competitor wants to play, you. know, with what we got going on, what he. fought through. You he did the classic. Pete Carol." Boy, I didn't like I don't. like seeing Pete Carol like this. This. is not how I'm going to remember Pete. Carol. Okay? I want to let everybody. know that. Oh, >> this is not how I'm going to remember. >> USC Seattle. >> having fun spinning it. You know, Will. Frell's coming to practice. Snoop Dog's. there. They're doing [ __ ] in a team. meeting. Like that is how I'm in Seattle. alongside the water there where he's. running having them compete through the. music thing like that.

>> I don't even know what you're talking. about. >> That That's. >> because they pan over the walls. So that. ain't that ain't real. >> That came out that that was not. necessarily 100% true. There are some. Legion of Boom tributes and some others, I guess. >> Oh, I remember Legion of Boom. [ __ ] Are. you kidding me? Cam Chancellor, that was. the best. Pete Carroll, the Gum Trooer. from Vegas. >> No, he was originally. What? He was with you guys. >> No, no, no, no. >> He was. >> That's like That's like Patino with the.

Celtics. That never happens. >> When was Patino with the Celtics? >> That's what I'm saying. >> Okay. That's what we're doing with Vegas. with Pete. That's what we're doing. The. only thing I'm going to remember from. Pete Carol's entire tenure, Vegas. >> No, don't do that to Pete Carol. >> Please don't. >> [ __ ] Pete Carol. >> Is he gone for sure after this? You. think he's gone for sure? >> I don't know, man. One and done is crazy. decision. >> Only had a three-year contract. Most of. these uh coaches who, you know, that are. with their teams, it's four or five. years, right? He only signed a. three-year deal cuz he's old. It was.

kind of flipped the culture. He flipped. the culture. Uh he flipped it so much. that he pissed Max Crosby off and now he. wants to leave. >> Okay, Max Crosby's back in the building. Let's remember that. And uh they are. potentially staring down a full rebuild. Going to have to get a new quarterback. Gino Smith obviously I'm a big fan of. It didn't work out out there. Fired all. the coordinators. I mean you're just. >> Well, not all the coaches though. His. his boy is still the old coach. So. >> all right. >> Mendoza though. Hey, the Mendoza Vegas. stuff that's cooking on the internet. right now. Keep it going. It's amazing.

on the internet. >> They're going to try to get Mendoza down. to Miami, I think. Could you imagine. Mendoza as quarterback for the Miami. Dolphins speaks perfect Spanish? I mean. from the whole thing and he's a guy. >> from down there. >> And if it was McDaniel's offense, we. think Mendoza be able to figure it out, right? >> How are we going to get him? >> Is he [laughter] more. Raiders? Raiders are I mean they are. full-blown I swear I saw the offensive. line do a entire sunshine move and just.

let Gino get [ __ ] bobbled on a third. down. I I am almost sure that happened. yesterday. >> Okay. Well, Pete Carol needs to get it. tightened up over there, you know, and. Max Crosby's back in the building. He's. going to get surgery is what everybody's. saying. Who knows what building he goes. into next? Speaking of buildings, [clears throat]. one could look very different next year, especially if there's a loss in Sunday. Night Football. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, J. Uh, how many defensive MVPs do. you have? >> Three. >> Okay. So, teams probably game planned. around you a few times. Did you ever.

think to yourself during a game, "Oh, tell you what, they don't care about. winning this game. They're just trying. to stop me." And I asked this question. because there was a large sentiment of. the internet yesterday who said the. Steelers only cared about stopping Miles. Garrett and the sack record. They didn't. care about making the playoffs. So, did. you ever feel that way? And I'm sure. it's Monday, so I doubt you've seen the. tape yet, but how do you feel about that. sentiment? >> Um, yeah. Yeah, I mean I that's uh if if. you're trying to stop the best player on.

the team from getting sacks, that's generally the way to try and win. the game. >> What would be the alternative? Let them. get sacks. >> No, you don't get it. You don't get it. >> Trying to score. >> Aaron was throwing uh he threw uh his. third, I think, fastest of the season. And Miles Garrett was chipped the eighth. most this season. So that. >> I mean that would be my strategy. Yeah. Like that he's he's a game record. He.

destroys the. >> Steel the Steelers have an undrafted. free agent tackle whose first time. playing Miles Garrett. So they should. have been one-on-one, right? >> No. The Steelers didn't want to win the. game and make the playoffs. They wanted. Sunday Night Football week 18 [laughter]. to be bigger. So they said Miles doesn't. get the sack record. Let's just get. Sunday Night Football for the last one. But on that note, >> I mean, if you look at the Steelers all. year long, Aaron's got he's he gets the. ball out of his hands faster than. anybody else in the whole league. That's. what he does. That's what he's done all. season long. And yeah, I mean, of. course, they don't want Miles to get the.

record. That's that's this inner. rivalry. That's exactly how they're. going to do it. But, I mean, trying to. comprehend the the first sentence you. said where they're they try to they. cared more about that than the win. >> I'm just saying like if you let the game. wreck wreck the game, you're not going. to win. Now, they didn't do a lot of. other good things, it seems. I haven't. watched a tape yet. I saw the final. drive. That was a lot of. >> certainly uh interesting. Um, but I. think that the way to win the game is to. not let the best player win the game for.

them. >> Yeah, you take care of the game record. You know, normally you have your best. shot to win the game. So maybe one comes. with the other is what everybody around. ball was saying about Miles Garrett. >> Miles said it as well too. So I'm I. don't know. It must have been something. >> He said what? That they were more. concerned with him getting sack. >> To an extent they were more worried. about keeping me away from Aaron than. getting the win. >> Let's hear it in his words. >> I believe him. >> To an extent I feel like they're. they were more worried about keeping me. away from from Aaron than know getting. the win. And uh I think that's what came.

back to bite them. So know they'll have. to you know fight it out with with uh. Baltimore next week. But I'm I'm just. proud of the guys for fighting and. getting this win. That's the main thing. and I'm always going to keep it that. Miles, I I I don't you know ball better. than me, Miles Garrett, but I think a. lot of teams are going to try to keep. you away from their quarterback in an. attempt to win the game, especially if. he's gonna. >> obviously not. Yeah, he's a half a sack. away from the record. And they've only. won what, four games. >> To Debb's point, actually, the Patriots,

part of their strategy was like, "Hey, we're going to let Miles get five sacks. and then we're going to beat him by 20.". And that's what they [ __ ] did. Boom. >> Maybe that's it. Let let that guy eat. and then guess what everyone else is. going to do? >> Beat everybody else. >> Not eat. >> What if that becomes the bloop? [laughter]. >> Nobody else can eat is what Connor is. saying. Only one eater. >> So if that becomes the way to beat the. Browns and they're just letting Miles. get five sacks a game. Holy [ __ ] This. record's only lasting. >> So he's got one week to get this record, right?

>> What's the number? 22 and a half. >> Yes. >> So he would have to get to 23. Where's. he at right now? >> 22. >> At 22. >> Yeah. 22, right? 22 needs one. >> He's at 22. Needs one to get the next. year. If this is the way to beat them is. to just let Miles Garrett get all the. sacks, >> I think. So, 50 sacks by week 10. >> That's what I'm saying. This What is. this? >> Two and eight. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It's weird though cuz the Steelers beat. them earlier in the season and Miles. didn't have a sack in that game either. So, I I'm just confused. >> Well, why did they change what they were. doing then? You know,

>> they only gave up two sacks yesterday. It's not like like they were like. quadruple teaming. >> Did you see Aaron? when he got sacked. Did you see how quick he turned around? >> So pissed. >> Even [ __ ] N. [laughter]. >> N. >> there. is a sack of the quarterback. >> Jim Nance thought he had it. >> Yeah, he did. >> He thought he had it. >> Browns aren't going to the first game is. a great point from the back there. I. think it was Nick. Yes. I mean, >> thank you, J. >> That that's it's such a great point. I. mean, I. >> Joe Thomas tweeted it. Uh there was a.

lot of people out there tweeting. >> you guys. What I've learned today is you. guys are on a ball. [laughter]. That's a fun little fact we picked up. >> Well, well, well. >> We'll talk to all of you later about. something you might know about. Uh cuz. we're talking ball right now. >> Bones, >> J. >> That was a woolly mammoth touch from. Russia. >> Well, funny enough, I just scrolled. through the [ __ ] the the uh auction. thing of all the woolly mammoth stuff. Half of it's [ __ ] [ __ ] So, >> what do you mean half of it's [ __ ]. [ __ ]. >> I mean I mean I we we read that a pair. of them might be a million bucks. Pair.

of pair of them is like [ __ ] $65,000. What are we What are we talking about. here? >> $65,000. tusk is what Joe Burrow's gifting. people. >> I'm saying we don't we have no idea. >> It's more than a can. >> I don't know about that. >> He said a pair. That looked like only. one. He said a pair. That looked like. that's also a subspecies which there's. not a lot of these. That's a dwarf. That's just a little one. Yeah. That's a. cute little move. Is that a baby? That's. a kid. >> That looks almost identical.

>> That's a wagoo. >> Almost identical. >> That looks way cooler. That 15 that 15. G's at the bottom looks very similar. >> I'd venture to guess Burl spent a 100. bucks on each of these and gave them to. >> Yeah. [laughter]. Yeah. Maybe a couple scratchies. >> Yeah. Couple scratchies. >> 15 sounds right. 15 sounds right. >> 15K. >> Feels like it's in the ball. >> Flaco like just a backup. Does Flaco get. him stuff too, right? Cuz he played for. a decent amount of time. >> Yeah. Flaco gets some good [ __ ] cuz he's. got a clue. >> Yeah. Hey man, Burrow had them all. Burrow had them all their bones as he. played chopsticks on his piano.

>> What is everybody's problem? These are. [laughter] a good thoughtful gift. A. fossil. Nobody ever. >> Where did the burrow burial session come. from? >> Oh, he was he's been calling him Boohoo. Burrow. >> I have been calling that. People on the. internet have been saying Boohoo Burrow. and I said, "Whoa, we [laughter] don't. we don't call him Boohoo Burrow." And. he's not boohooing anymore. He's got. >> Speaking of the record, that's where it. is this week, isn't it? That's That's. who That's who it's against. >> Oh, no. >> Yeah. Burrow's just going to throw the. ball at Garrett anytime he comes.

>> You guys happy to see the clip of Flaco. on the sideline by any chance? It's. going down. >> Yeah, >> he was frozen. He was happy. >> Well, he might that might have been the. first time he heard about getting a. bone. >> You're right. >> Just take him back. Holy [ __ ] A woolly. man was from Russia's. See you, J. >> I could drink water out of this. >> J doesn't like that we were burying the. the fossils. I want to let you know. >> I am in an interesting spot now on the. all the fossil talk. At the beginning I. was. >> a big fan of it. Now I'm trying to.

wonder what I would have done with it. There was a time the Colts would get um. Christmas gifts for all the players. >> Mhm. >> Does that happen everywhere age? >> Uh I don't believe so. >> Definitely not Green Bay. >> like ownership or. >> Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it was. ownership. >> Like what kind of gift? What would you. get? >> Xbox. >> They got us. all that stuff. Yeah, TV was one year. It was a really It was awesome. >> Like making a bull game. The first it. was like a gift. It was like a bull. First one though was meat. Just all. meat. Okay. Just the first one we got.

>> was just a [ __ ] ton of meat. >> And I I remember being so bummed out but. but like so happy. [laughter]. >> I was 22. >> That's when Josh Allen got his line. >> I know. I was 22 23 years old. Like I. didn't have I was [ __ ] living in an. apartment. Like. >> I want to do it. [laughter]. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Just fit on the George Foreman or not. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. But like it was. an older team so they all. >> those guys love. >> So it was like a great gift. Like I I. like thought to myself like that's a. great gift. I hope I get to the age. where the gift comes and I I like it. And then the next year it was like a TV.

or something. I'm like. >> now we're talking. >> Now we're playing again. Always good. >> It's not easy getting gifts for people. though. Like it's not easy to get. something. >> especially rich people especially rich. young people that have a lot of great. things already. >> Yeah. Especially cuz you know the. different ages and different life. different interests. >> Yeah. Everything. So, like the fossil. one is certainly outside the box, but I. assume everybody was like, "Man, [ __ ]. nobody from all walks of life, all ages, all demos, all religions, whatever.". They all said, "Nobody's ever [ __ ]. thought about getting me a fossil." Now,

the side by side does hit with everybody. from my from my understanding as I seen. George, >> join us now, ladies and gentlemen. JJ. Watt. >> JJ. >> Come on, J. >> Sorry. Just yeated myself right out of. the conversation, >> man. Well, we missed you. Obviously, we. covered it in much more detail. You. missed a lot. And on that note, great. work today, J. We appreciate the hell. out of you, man. >> Yep. Great. [laughter]. >> What's your problem? >> Uh, I I have no problem at all. I'm.

doing fantastic over here. >> Do you have any dinosaur bones, Jage? You have any of these fossils around? >> What What do you collect? What are. things? What What do you. >> seems like a gift from. >> Got one. That's good. >> That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Uh yeah. >> Um no, I I mean I don't have anything. like good. >> You're playing pickle ball with those. billionaires, right? I would assume. >> a big mug guy. >> I like coffee mugs. I like coffee mugs. The places I go I like to collect coffee. mugs that have meaning. My wife and I.

like to give them as gifts to each. other. So very simple, but coffee mugs. >> No, I like coffee mug. I'm super I'm. into coffee now. I'm I've become a. full-on coffee person. And uh it's a. nice little culture, little community. Little coffee community is a real thing. Yeah, she's got them from everywhere. I. pops in the military so they travel a. bunch like every state, every country. She's got different coffee mugs with. like. >> kind of like if you do like shot glass. I used to do shot glass. I travel shot. >> Starbucks does that now. >> Golf balls now. Every you know course I. go wherever I go.

>> Like every state Starbucks has their own. like state mug that they sell at every. Yeah, it is actually. >> That's a good idea. Commercializing a. local thing. >> Mhm. >> Yeah, exactly. Cards. Playing cards. There's a lot of. those. >> Yep. Lighters. >> Matches. Lighters. Those are good. >> All right. >> Ornaments. >> See a coffee extraordininaire. What's. that called? >> Somebody that's really into coffee. >> Somalier. Somalier. >> That's wonderful. >> Makes them, right? >> Fishionado.

>> Mhm. There you go. >> Fishionado. Nice word. >> Thank you. >> Somale was also the word. Does it work. with coffee or only wine? >> I just I just I just applied it to. everything. I think it's just wine. Pretty sure it's just wine. >> No, no, I. >> I'm wish I saw we we we had people are. all in on the rough and the passer stuff. this weekend. of roughing the passer. >> Wait, thank you for actually reminding. us cuz we did this uh earlier today. There was a couple we would like to get.

your answer on. Can we do that right. now? >> Absolutely. Let's do this. >> Okay, let's go to the Chargers Texans. game. Chargers Henley up the gut. Oh, makes contact with what appears to be. the chest. Finish the tackle. >> Done. Not roughing the passer. Next. >> Okay. Easy as that. Thumbs down from JJ. Let's go to the uh let's go to the. Titans Saints game here. Go ahead and. run it. >> I don't Sorry, wrong one. Patriots Jets.

I didn't watch that. >> Okay, let's go to the Patriots Jets game. here. Uh, obviously Connor Cook at. quarterback, Patriots Jeremiah Farms. >> Oh man. >> Okay. >> Nope. Not rushing the passer. Move on. >> Okay. Thumbs down there from JJ Watt. Now we go to the Pittsburgh Steelers and. the Browns. This is Cam Hayward on. Shadore Sanders. Has contact with the. ball. Finishes through. He's big body, big head on Shadore. JJ, yes or no?

>> Nope. Not roughing the passer. >> Okay. got his brothers on team. >> Do you do you guys want explanations or. like I I got no problem. None of those. are rough in the passers. I I know that. most of those three were the new rule of. laying the weight on them. >> All three situations guys put their. hands down to brace themselves. Watch. every single guy put their hands down. the side to brace themselves. Watch. Cam's left hand here come off. He. doesn't drive him in. He braces himself. on the ground. I don't know what more.

you want. I don't think I think you. should be able to drive me to the ground. that so I won't even give any of those. my roughing the passers that I will give. on this show every time we do this. hitting in the head hitting below the. knees. I will give those two or if. you're hitting too late but I will never. give a rough in the passer for a clean. shoulder hit in the body. >> That was third and eight in the fourth. quarter there. They call that obviously. that was a massive call and this one the. Steelers end up losing the game. So. obviously it's a massive call, but these. are like program changers. 15 yards, big.

ass deal, but also it slows people down. when they're around a quarterback in the. future, right, J? Which is why we need. to get this right. >> It's like you're saying like this is a. 15yd penalty, automatic first down. You. could be generally they're going to. happen on third down. So you would be. off of the field giving your offense the. ball back. And these guys are trying. That's a form tackle. That is a form. tackle using his shoulder off to the. side. Puts his hands down to brace when.

he's there. Like this game is hard, dude. We are massive, massive men moving. at extreme rates of speed, trying to. play it by the rules that you have put. down and the rules that you keep adding. to it. And it gets harder and harder. And our position continues to get harder. and harder to play. They're trying to do. it, man. Stop punishing them for trying. to do it right. There are ones that. definitely are worth it. These are not. >> And that's a roughing the passer from JJ. Wall. >> Y.

>> three thumbs down. >> Mhm. >> Pick up the flags. Let's play football, ladies and gentlemen. >> Happy New Year. That's JJ Watt. Thank. you, JJ. >> Happy New Year. >> Is he coming down a cotton bowl and Rose. Bowl? I don't remember. >> Didn't sound like it. >> Yeah, he said TV from a distance. [snorts]. Do you think we No, we'll be we're. pumped to do it. We get to do it. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I can't believe we get to do it. >> Yeah. It's be awesome. It's. >> a great matchup.

>> Hopefully. >> Matchups. >> Maybe. >> You think potentially blowout Ohio. State? >> I mean, I I could absolutely see Ohio. State putting it on. >> The other one might be a slop pull. I I. think they could slop them up in the. Rose Bowl if it's raining. Yeah. >> Torrential downpour, seven point spreads. a lot, especially if what they're. talking about with the weatherwise now. >> Yeah. Could that change if it if they. you know we think for sure. >> big time rainfall? >> What are they saying? 50° 60°. >> Yeah. Anywhere from 50 Yeah. to 60.

>> Yeah. Usually from the last few years, the first quarter and a half. sun like light should still be coming. towards Earth. However, once that uh. once the sun goes behind the San Gabriel. Mountains is what they're called. You're. saying when the sun goes down, >> it gets colder when the sun goes down. >> Especially when you're wet. >> Yeah, we got the sun [singing] goes. down.

>> You're at the Rose Bowl. [singing]. >> Mhm. >> You going to bring a poncho? >> About 80% chance of rain the entire time. the game is going. They're saying pretty good rain, too. Not just like misting rain. >> I might get full rain gear like uh. what's his name? Not Dinardo. >> Jim Canthtor. >> Jim Canthtor. >> There we go. >> We we had full convos about do we get. the pawn shows, you know, and do the.

whole gimmick. >> Mhm. >> And then there was a conversation about, well, I got to go rain jacket. I want to. show off. Some people said, >> and then we immediately went to, well, what do we wear on New Year's Eve? And. then you saw us make a decision in the. group text. you watch it all unfold and. you participated and we appreciate that. Feels like that's the only answer for. New Year's Eve. >> Yeah, I think so. >> Feels like that's the only answer for. New Year's Eve. Rose Bowl though, I'll. be excited to see what everybody does. >> I'll be excited to see where. >> he's got a good idea. Look like a couple. of the fishermanmen on the Northwestern. >> Oh. >> Oh my god. Smoking sigs.

>> I got those boots, too. I got those. rubber boots I could wear as well. Keep. your feet dry. >> Deadly as catch. >> Yes, that's what we need to be doing. >> Sig Hans Northwest. >> Do these things get delivered in time? Is that going to happen? Will they let. us smoke cigarettes on the field at the. Rose Bowl? >> They better. >> It's open air. Okay. >> If we're dressed like that, I think they. have to let us from my understanding. I'm not 100% sure. >> Deadliest catch. Discovery's deadliest. catch. Still landing big fish in year 10. article on variety. They're still doing. it. >> Okay. >> I thought it was the deadliest catch.

How are they still doing it? >> Well, survivors dogs. >> We have lost year 10 a few good sailors. >> Yeah, we certainly have. >> Yeah, more than a few. Shout out to. Cluster. >> Yep. all their monuments for shoot. dedicated to lost fishermen. >> Rest in peace to everybody. We. appreciate you guys. >> It's a perfect storm. >> Oh yeah. >> Have you ever gone deep sea fishing? >> Mhm. I went once, twice. You. >> get seasick. What did you catch? >> No, I didn't get seasick. Oh, I forgot. the name of the fish, but we had. >> crabs. [laughter] No,

>> forgot. >> Marlin. >> on a Father's Day one one year. >> Bonita fish. >> A red bonita fish. Big fish. a red um. >> joint. >> Red snapper. >> A red snapper. >> Swordfish. >> Big. >> I'll find them. I'll find some pictures. >> I won uh deep sea fishing one time. >> and we we didn't pay enough, I guess. So, we were supposed to be around the. little fish. >> and then they just took us way out. there. It was pretty sick. Pretty It was. actual sick. Yeah. The whole thing. >> Then we get out there, first cast down.

there. And I'm not a good fisherman. We've all seen it. First cast down. there, catch a massive fish. And there's. a big fish jackpot on the boat. >> where everybody beforehand put 100 bucks. in I guess for the big fish jackpot. because it was a bunch of different. groups. >> And uh yeah, first cast I guess we. accidentally happened upon one of these. big fish was in amongst all the smaller. fish. >> and it was my first cast down there. Pull out this big [ __ ] thing. It was. unbelievable. Thing was bleeding real. blood. It's on my boot. It's on my. entire thing. >> And I go, "Holy [ __ ] Is this what we're. catching all day?" And the guy's like,

"No, you'll win the big fish.". [laughter]. >> I'm like, "What do you mean?" He goes, "We aren't finding these fish today. We're finding a you I have no we have no. idea and I'm like sick supposed to be. over. >> That's awesome. >> So I had three hours out there just. knowing I had the big fish jackpot. The. amount of [ __ ] I was talking to. everybody. I mean I'm okay with this. whole thing. There's boozing out here. It's good water. I didn't mind the deep. sea fishing boat. >> Was it just you on the rod or was it. connected to the boat? >> It was connected to the boat. Literally. doing nothing. You You just hit that. thing and it drops. >> Yeah. It's like a carnival basically out. here and then you do this and then we. pick up and we move to a new area. While.

you're moving to a new area, there's. music, there's boozing happening, yada. yada yada. We get to the new spot. do. the drop thing in there. They do it. But. they were taking us, I guess, to small. fish parts of town, you know. I guess. that's where we're headed for how much. we paid. So me just pouring. I think it. was a red something. I forget what it. was. >> Red fin tuna. >> It was big. They they were worried about. the actual. >> the rod snapping. >> Yeah, >> that might have been a tuna then, actually. >> Yeah, I was going to say tuna are. [ __ ] massive. >> I don't think it was that. I don't think. it was that. I just think they did not. expect uh that big of a fish to be.

caught. It was a general surp like a. genuine surprise for the people. But I. understood like the the gimmick of going. and do it. It looked like it was like a. good time. It's like the skiing like is. like a whole [ __ ] thing, you know? I. think that's the fishing thing, AJ. I. think. >> Yeah, I puke my balls off. So, you will. not catch me getting on another one. >> Yeah, I was pretty sick as well. And. then I got out there, got pretty boozed. up, you know, won the big fish jackpot. I think passed out on the way back, got. sunburnt, you know, did the whole thing. So, I I think I checked that box. But.

yeah, boats and water not the best. I. mean, I'm scared to death, too. It's all. out there. There's been a My Algo has. been feeding me some scary ocean stuff. >> Okay, >> that needs to stop. >> Stay away. It won't. >> like what what's scary part? Like, what's going on? >> Well, here's an aerial shot of an. octopus that was [laughter] like, "Well, that fucker's as big as a city. Why Why. is that thing that big?" It's like, "That's fake.". >> Yeah. >> And then you scroll to the next one, it's like, "This is not fake." And it's. like, >> feels like this is fake, though. >> Okay. Then I go to the next one, they. got a picture of a guy who looks like he. might be telling the truth. But that.

could just be an AI guy now that we know. that Photoshop or whatever is now a part. of. >> what's real, what isn't these days. Who. knows. >> what I know? Sports are real. Always. will be. >> That's right. >> And they're not scripted tone. No matter. how much you think that the NFL was in. on making Sunday Night Football the AFC. North title game, >> it wasn't just that. You know, if the. Bears win last night, then, you know, the NFC West is for nothing. you know, if there was a lot of other things that. happened that, you know, week 18 could. have been a real bummer. And now it's so. exciting.

[laughter]. >> And that and that is And that is a fact.

>> I love He is. First of all, I love Joe. Mula, West Virginia grad. I just learned. another West Virginia legend is on that. coaching staff and uh I assume the world. knows. I don't want to put him on blast, but I'm a big fan of who he was as. basketball player and the person is also. coaching up there. So, I respect what. you guys got going on. They also played. the Pacers, I believe, in the last few. days. Gumpy was sitting second row for. the game. What was it like watching the. Celtics live and Missoula live? >> Missoula was running all the boys. Everybody on the bench gets burned. And. I told Ty about this, Garza was just up.

and down the court. I mean, he probably. logged about 30 minutes. The bench kind. of pissed off Jaylen Brown. He wasn't. doing nothing. They started laughing. Jaylen Brown looked at him like, "All. right, here we go." Went off the rest of. the game. Unbelievable. >> I'll say this. Dumpy told me they got an. all whites. >> Oh, yeah. >> Smack in the wood. I mean, they're. coming out there for five minutes of. hell for the team and then then it's a. substitution. Is this is this brand new? Is this always been in NBA basketball? I. I didn't know we had that. >> I I believe it's brand new. Jaylen Brown.

has had 30 points in every single game. in December. He actually has had a. historic month when it comes to. basketball. But yeah, we have our. benchmob uh and they come in and they. cause havoc. They chew on wood. Chew. >> That's what I That's what he said. He. said they come in there and just give us. some relief, but it's just like hell. Like absolute hell for them. >> It's basically like semi-pro when they. put on eyeliner. That's what they do. every day. >> And there's no sweat. It's not running. into their eyes. They're able to do it. again and again and again. I didn't know. that was that sounds like a sound idea,

especially if you're out one of your. stars like, "Hey, how do we kind of. shorten the game?" Well, we can put this. crew in that's all grit and jam. I mean, all grit and jam. Nobody's going to be. ready for it. Missoula is always. cooking. >> Mhm. >> I mean, that's basically the point of. this civil thing. >> Yeah. One of the best coaches in all of. basketball. Just. >> Wii, what's going on with him? He's the. guy. >> He's dominating. Yep. He first shoot. hates Chad Homegrren. Now, those. allegations are no longer allegations. He hates that [ __ ] guy. Awesome to. watch though. >> Oklahoma City, what 27 and five?

>> Uh yeah, Oklahoma City. I think they're. even even I I don't know if they've lost. Have they lost five? I don't I'm not. sure. I don't think I saw that as well. >> I think I saw 27 and five on a graphic. They they had lost three games whenever. I ran. Uh Caruso was at Texas A&M cuz. they had lost two out of their last. three. Three in total cuz I had a full. surprise moment when Stanford Steve. tells me from across the field basically. they're the [ __ ] best team in. basketball. And I go, "What? They just. lost two out of three?" He goes, "Yeah, that they've only lost three out of the.

entire thing." So then I go to Caruso, "Oh, you guys are playing really well.". And he's like, "I heard Steve as well. there." So I was like, "Okay." So he. kind of caught me in this entire thing. I had no idea. But I guess Oklahoma City. the real, right? The real deal this year. yet again. >> Three of those losses. Three of the five. are to the Spurs. >> Okay. And that's the next question. So. WBY is who we [ __ ] thought he was. going to be. >> Really? >> Oh yeah. Big time. If he stays Yeah. If. he stays healthy with Castle, too. I. mean, their team is so young. The fact. that they're this good. >> Harper, too.

>> The uh what? Number two overall pick. this year. >> Dick Harper Jr. He's a monster. >> So I like that he hung out with the. Monks, right? Yep. >> Which is like quiet, reserved, everything like that. Still high. thinking and everything. He flexes. immediately. I mean, he is because he. wanted to hung out with Kevin Garnett as. well, right? Feels like he knows. everything about everything, too. And he. handles it all perfectly. He started. talking about the universe with us uh or. whenever he not with us. He started. talking about the universe during. interviews before the draft. We didn't. really know anything about this guy. Uh. got a big French guy who's allegedly an.

alien. Yeah, he is. And that's actually. what they're going to design his entire. line of [ __ ] around, which is sick, too. It's a great logo in the entirety and. it's like, well, this guy would be the. greatest basketball player of all time. Could be, they said. And uh he is. That's what's starting to happen here. >> Oh yeah, for sure. I mean, with you. could make the argument he's already the. greatest defensive player in the history. of basketball just because of what he. does on the court, his presence. >> He's 7 foot. >> I think he is 74 or 75. Yeah. And then. his wingspan's like eight. >> So that's why it's just like everything.

is getting he is the Swati. Yeah. Pulling up. Even when he doesn't like go. up, just his presence in the paint like. people will. >> Yeah. They'll dribble right there pass. or even throw a layup up because he's. like. >> no easy buckets. >> Yeah, it's crazy. >> Block party. >> Yeah. >> And he can dribble and shoot, you know. That certainly doesn't hurt. >> Jeez. >> So, if I recall the story, he gets. drafted there. There's a couple older. people on the team that don't get it. that he's the one and then they had to. kind of change out the the team. Is that.

accurate? >> Yeah. Yeah, exactly. remember they had. all the prime time games and all those. guys were looking to get their shine in. He also it was tough because Greg Povich. had a stroke like midseason so they had. like this whole like new coach comes in. a lot of different stuff and then blood. clots last year makes the all-star game. first half of the season unbelievable. gets blood clots misses the entire. second half of the season so that season. also goes down the tubes and now this. year fully healthy Darren Fox guy they. got another very highly paid player he's.

probably their vet but he's only like 28. years old uh if that and then the guys. they've drafted over these last three. years since drafting WBY Castle and. Harper. It's like they h they have their. own homegrown big three. >> So everybody knows that it's WMBB's team. that like he's the guy and uh shout out. to him. Also I saw you post LeBron. without a hyen. >> Lakers stink their ass. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Uh. >> what do you mean their ass? I thought. they were really good. >> Well, when LeBron wasn't playing, they. were great. >> Uh it was all Luca. Hey, let's pass the. ball. You know, everything goes through.

Luca. Not that LeBron doesn't pass the. ball, he does, but more so everything. goes through Luca. And now with LeBron, it's just different. >> and the West is really good. >> And they're a current four seed right. now. Go ahead. >> That's probably why comments said he was. tired of JJ because he was talking. about, you know, defense and guys not. getting back on defense. And then he. also mentioned the offense being out of. whack since uh LeBron came back and. Austin Reed is hurt too. So he'll be out. for a long stretch. Austin Reeds was. having an unbelievable year this year. Lucas still leading the league uh in. scoring. He is unreal. He's what he's.

always been. >> I saw Jaylen Brunson still can't miss. What the [ __ ]. >> Guy's outrageous. Watching him play the. Pacers last year live. It's like it. makes no sense. He's doing [ __ ] and it's. going up and it's not even touching the. rim. It is somehow falling. Whenever. they need it, he does it. I saw a lot of. that on Christmas and I guess he. followed it up the day after as well. The Knicks a team that's going to be in. it. >> Oh yeah, we're we're all the way back. We have a bench now, too, which is. awesome. So Tyler Kick on Christmas Day. >> Oh, I saw Lil Kohic. Yeah, he came in uh.

hit a bunch of threes. He was a game. high plus 25, I believe it was. Plus, minus. And then Mitchell Robinson, our. our big rebounder. He's still coming in. off the bench. I think he had 13. rebounds in 16 minutes. So, almost a. rebound a minute. There was a possession. where he got three offensive rebounds in. a row. >> How was Marty Supreme? Timothy Shalom. I. immediately think of with the Knicks. >> It did the uh the biggest opening for an. A24 movie ever, the studio it was with. And then, >> hey, way to go, Tim. >> Same deal. A lot of people are saying. like it will it will be a travesty if he. doesn't win the uh the Oscar for best.

actor. >> Okay. He's going for that though, right? Cuz we heard him speak before about how. he wants to win the like this is his. goal. >> He wants to be great. Yeah. >> Yeah. Michael Phelps, Michael Jordan, these Kobe Bryant, these are my. inspirations, not other things like. that. He wants to be great. And then. everything he does seemly lives up the. expectation. Like his entire marketing. angle here, they were talking about as. it's the most innovative thing of all. time. It's like he he became a full-on. internet person. He basically. >> uh exposed the fact that he understands. what's going on in the world that we.

currently live in with the way he. marketed it and then his performance. what he just buys into the character so. well. Like what are you being judged uh. whenever you win those types of awards? >> Yeah, I mean I think that's part of it. I I don't know how many people his age. are, you know, I don't know if I'd say. he's method, but I think he he does kind. like the Bob Dylan one. A lot that's a. lot of that is coming back around where. he basically said like, "Hey, I invested. like five years of my life into like, you know, really diving into this. character, making sure I got it right. and everything." And I think a big part. of it is he makes uh the right choices.

moviewise. And now he's getting to a. point where I think like directors who. are really well respected by the academy. and things like they want to work with. him. And it it also doesn't hurt that. like he's one of the top guys right now. Like he's not really doing any movies. where he's in two scenes and he's got 12. minutes of screen time. Like he's he's. up there the whole time. >> And on that note, he's a sports guy. >> Sports guy. >> Oh yeah. >> Knows ball. >> Yeah, he does. >> We like people that know ball doing. their thing. And uh congrats to him. And. I can't wait to watch Marty Supreme. The. ones are coming out. D I want I would.

like support. I'll go buy I'll buy a. ticket on Fandango to support the entire. thing. When's it come out on the thing? >> I'm not sure. I'm sure it's one of those. things where like in February maybe you. can like rent it on Apple cuz that's the. other thing is if it's like truly Oscar. bait, they're going to want to keep that. in the theaters for a while. >> They cuz they want to run numbers up in. that particular world even though they. understand the modern world. I've been. back in the Oculus AJ. You know what. that means? >> Really? >> What do you playing ping pong? >> Well, boxing mostly. I found out I can. box in my bathroom in the Oculus. That's. changed things a little bit. So, uh, you.

know, the boxing in the Oculus, I don't. know how many new listeners we have. >> Sounds dangerous. >> So, >> yeah. Yeah, >> you draw your area and it looks out for. you. You know, make sure that you're. staying in there, but I haven't been. able to, and I'm sure somebody more. technically savvy would be able to do. this. Mine doesn't have any uh. boundaries now except for whenever I'm. getting close to the boundary that I. created. It like pops up a wall to let. me know I can't be there. Starts.

vibrating. So, it helps. You set up a. boundary on where you could be. It's. connected to the internet. It helps you. out. When like when I play pingpong, I. used to be in like an arena. Like I'd. get in there and I'm an arena. So, I'm. in the room that I'm in, but in my mind, I'm 7,000. I'm already I'm already in. there and I'm playing against a floating. head, somebody from somewhere, Germany. maybe, uh, you name it, all over the. globe and they have the access to it. Now, I I haven't been able to figure it. out. I'm just in the room that I'm in in. all these things. Okay. So, I'm boxing.

this guy. He's walking out of my [ __ ]. closet, AJ. This guy's walking out of my. closet. Okay. I'm sitting there in my. bathroom. >> Personal. It's personal. >> Exactly. Exactly. So, I'm throwing bombs. in my bathroom. I I mean, absolutely. >> We know that overhand right is coming. We know. You better watch [laughter] out. for that. >> There it was. Yeah. You know, this guy's. walking out of my closet. Yeah. Right. So, it's uh it's been fun. But I've. gotten back into the ping pong in there. Like after the boxing, I do the little. ping pong to kind of uh calm it down. because boxing takes a lot out of you if.

you're getting punched in the actual. face or in the Oculus face. And you. actually need to knock this Irish. champion out cuz you know for the good. of the bathroom and in the closet you. got to win. Boom. Yeah. There. Bang. Boom. I'm in an arena right there. Coming over here. [laughter]. >> Yeah. Well, this is the third round. This is third fourth round. Yeah. You. don't know that. That guy was getting. tired in that moment. That might have. been Tahada. You know, Tahada gets a. little loose with his hands. Puts him. down. Shout out to Val walking through. She understood we were in between. rounds. We need to get back. Boom. Bang. Pal. Boom. Left hand needs Bang. There's.

a lefty, by the way. Knocked everybody. up. Bang. I want to knock him out. Lefty. Boom. Boom. I watched that film. on these guys. Okay. Anyways, real. fighting in there. There's a real. character in there. >> Okay. That's I'm connecting with. somebody's actual something's actual. face in there. And I started doing a. ping pong afterwards. And I thought to. myself, Marty Supreme, they need to. [ __ ] that that ping pong company and. the thing, they need to be pushing that. Like if ping pong becomes something.

because of Marty Supreme, which it. certainly could, right? I mean, it had a. hell of a run. Did you play ping pong. down in South Florida? >> No, I never really got into it. >> Was there games down there? >> Ping pong? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Like. >> we had somebody like one person, every. group basically have a ping pong table. in their garage was kind of like how it. worked. in Pittsburgh. Same in Iowa. >> Yeah, ping pong big deal. Like I mean. exact same thing. At least multiple. people in my friend friends friend group. had ping pong tables. >> Massachusetts. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. >> I feel like it is a game that like.

everybody Ohio you guys certainly same. as us I assume. >> Absolutely. My grandma had a an old pool. table in her basement and she had like. the ping pong tables you put on top that. we would we would set it up. Yeah. >> And then attach that net to the bottom. Boys and girls club. >> boys like ping pong pool. That's what. you had. >> Always in a garage. Uh Lman had one. Bone had uh one over there. Fesic had. one. Uh. >> had one. >> Yeah. >> Ping pong's fun. Ping pong is legit. I. enjoy ping pong. >> Yeah, it is. Uh it's a great sport. And.

in the Oculus, they kind of got to. figure it out. Like it's kind of. >> I'm actually surprised they don't have. some sort of like Marty Supreme tiein on. there. >> That's what I'm saying because I guess. the Oculus is dead. I saw there was some. 78 billion loss or something like that. and uh they were saying it was dead. And. I was like, "Well, this ping pong. company that's in here should be they. should be trying to like, hey, this is. really good. You don't need All you need. is [ __ ] four feet and it's like real. You're playing against people around the. world.". >> So, Marty Supreme, a ping- pong player. >> Yes. >> Yeah. >> I didn't know what Yeah. I didn't know.

that's what he is. >> Yeah. I've not seen the movie. I do not. know the story. I've only seen a trailer. and I saw the actual guy playing. He's. still alive. He that he was still He. still had it. I There was still a lot of. this. So, he was a worldwide sensational. uh table tennis ping- pong player. >> Yeah, I believe so. And I think it's. just loosely based on on that guy. But. uh again, I don't know very much about. it either other than Yeah. Tim Chalamé. is playing like a big time prodigy in. this. >> How are you a ping pong? >> Not good.

>> That should be good though. >> Got a brother that's really good. >> Yeah. Military big. Your dad probably. played a lot. >> He does the spinning and [ __ ] He got. four cars now. >> You should get Oculus ping pong. I'm. telling you, you can get really good. really quick. I think it does [ __ ] your. real life pink ball though. >> You can't have that. >> I realized that. >> you played pickle ball lately. The last. time you did that Arizona Super Bowl. >> Yep. >> Then we played here for a while. >> We had thunderball in here. Remember we. picked up the tape? >> The tape drove perfect. >> I drove past the pickle ball place uh. around where we live. That place was. packed.

>> Oh, everywhere still. Huh. >> What was Ben? Uh the chicken and waffles. in in pickle ball. Remember that? What. was that place called? >> Yeah. Chicken and pickle. >> Yeah. >> I think it was chicken and pickle. It. was a pickle ball restaurant place at. >> Yeah. I think they invited us to come. play a couple times. We couldn't make it. happen. Wish we could have though. >> Love it. >> Pickle ball was a good time. >> Great time. >> That doesn't sound. sanitary. >> Well, you get a little chicken and you. get a little pickle ball. >> You don't do the same time. >> Yeah. >> And you're cleaning.

>> It's like bowling. Like you're eating. pizza while you bowl. It's like a. similar thing. >> Exactly. Actually, some some people take. the chicken. >> lot more sweat. >> and then they put that right into the. hole. Nope. >> And they. >> You're not. >> And they don't even do the wind. >> You're not bowling, right? >> If I'm not sweating. >> Yeah. Pickle ball. Work up a real. >> Yeah. real work. >> We're lather. >> When was the last time you play? You. play? >> No. My boy, I was in Arizona a few weeks. ago. I played there. >> I think it's Arizona State game. Feels. like that's probably what's going to. happen. When we travel back to Arizona, we'll make sure we bring our [ __ ]. rackets. >> Yep. Next week.

>> Remember, we had 14 different uh Is that. real? Semiis. First game of semis. Y. >> Yes. >> Here we go. >> Okay. >> Here we go. >> Holy [ __ ]. >> Find the house. >> I cannot. We [laughter] need Airbnb. stat. We need We need to find that. entire thing. Kushi is a part of a uh. pickle ball country club. Remember they. all. >> got he's got a roller bag with like. seven brackets in there, didn't he? >> He has a score. He has. >> Oh, yeah. He does. He's rated, huh? >> It's [ __ ] wild. >> Pickle ball really had a run there. >> It did. >> Is it still going? Like, is it still big.

like it was? I see like the pickle shack. and different places going up that are. like where people play. >> Do you think it's still going? >> Yeah, they're still it's still bringing. it. >> Oh yeah. >> Really? >> It's not in our Yeah. spheres. >> A lot of like tennis courts have been. renovated to like. >> two or three maybe two tennis courts. Now it's four pickle ball courts. >> I love down there in tennis. I watched. all the tennis this weekend. Uh that. came out of nowhere expected. Then we. watched uh TGO for a couple.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Billy Horchel. Absolute. bomb. >> No. >> I'm an avid TGL fan. It was right in the. middle of Sunday football. Didn't watch. a second of it. >> You didn't? No. >> That was the dumbest thing they ever. could have did. >> I feel like. >> Yeah, Foxy's one of their biggest fans. Foxy would really like the TGL to work. I think Foxy would like it because I. think Foxy's game would translate well. to TGL golf. I I think he'd be able to. play well if we were able to get in. there. Yes. And Foxy watched. religiously, I'd say, season one. uh.

much to the chagrin of everybody. basically cuz we had a couple times we. watched a couple weeks and we kind of. got it. Foxy was all in dialed plug. Love listening to Matt Barry up there. and then Marty uh the real Supreme Smith. was actually out in the audience a. couple times. We thought it was. interesting how they chose to do it. We. thought this year obviously they get a. second crack at it and then they launch. in the middle of week 17 NFL Sunday. football. It's like who are you who do. you think watches this? >> Tough decision. people watch this. >> They got Wednesday night at 9:00.

>> That's where they [ __ ] need to live. That's where they need to live. >> I'm just joking. That's the New Year's. Eve. That's when the Dawn Bull is. I'm. not sure when their next one is. [laughter] How the [ __ ] would I No one. watch on Sunday. >> Last year they kicked it off on the. first Monday night after Monday Night. Football was over. And I was like, "Yes, that makes sense. Sunday at 3:00 makes. absolutely no sense.". >> Well, maybe they want the lads to get. back into the swing of TGO things, you. know? Maybe this is like the NBA. Well, it's funny you say that cuz I actually. read on the internet, so I don't know if. this is true or not, that uh one team.

forgot about the hammer rule, which is. basically the most important rule in the. entire TGL. So, they use no hammers and. they lost the match. >> These guys love this league. They just. love it so much. >> They don't even want to use the hammer. >> Forget about the only [ __ ] gimmick. they got. >> Can you gamble on this? I don't know if. you can, but if you can, and these guys. don't even know the rules, that's a. problem in itself as well. >> If you're gambling on this, call the. number. I mean, this is this is a. ridiculous [laughter] ridiculous thing. to get. >> No, there's been a lot of like attempts. at alternative golf formats. And. honestly, I thought this one was the.

most fun to watch. That's why I enjoyed. it last year and then they kicked it off. on Sunday NFL football. >> I think we found it, didn't we? Don't we. think we potentially uh have found what. the golf alternative could potentially. be? >> That sounds awesome. >> We didn't create it, but it was. certainly uh presented to us. It feels. like there is a lot of golf interest in. the world right now. I think that's a. good thing, not a bad thing. We would. like TGL to make sounder decisions. though so we could watch this thing. because I think we would be the demo of. people that would enjoy that short. attention span golf people, sports. people. I mean that's it's basically.

built for a digital thing age it we. think it's great. We think it could be. amazing. We would like it to see it. >> You just need you need somehow like the. the I don't know you need some animosity. between the teams. You need the golfers. to really play into it. I think which. Billy Horschel is great for the sport. >> AJ wants for DJL golf. Billy Horchel. >> Yeah, he really is. Well, he led TJL in. singles points last season as you could. see clearly. And Billy Ho's back. I I. mean, that's Billy Ho football. And uh. we appreciate him. We just wish more. people would watch it because this has a.

chance to be awesome and more of this is. good for the world, not less of this. So, shout out to Billy Ho and the um. Atlantic Dream Crusher. >> All right, let's get back. >> The next next match is Friday night. >> Friday night. Okay. >> Boston Common versus LA golf. Oh, BCGC's. playing. >> They struggled last season. >> Cheapest ticket. >> Yeah, but how many free agents were. there in the first off season? Were. people hitting the transfer portal? Did. I see Scotty's in this? >> Yeah. >> What team's he on? >> Oh, good question. And by Yes, I thought.

I just saw him in the audience, so I fig. I don't know if he's officially on a. team yet, but I did see him fall into. it. >> So, I saw him hit one. >> He's too busy winning real golf. tournaments. >> Oh, no. All the boys are trying to win. some real golf tournaments. This is just. in their in their spare time, which they. don't have a lot of. Scotty Sheffller, par 3 161. You saw the same thing I saw. was his first shot at the Sofi Stadium. >> Yeah, these guys are approaching NFL. coaches for me. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. >> I ain't [ __ ] I don't want to go home. Let's play golf. >> Uh there's like an expansion. There'll.

be more teams in there. So I assume. Scotty probably has a piece of one of. those teams and he'll be in it next. year. >> That's my guess. >> Yeah, the Maze does have a team I think. out there in Las Vegas. So if we were So. we would turn this Thunderdome into a. one of their TGL things is what we would. do. >> and we would have a team. We would host. [ __ ] here. >> We could do that. >> I don't I. >> Is that how it works? >> I think it's all at Sofi Center. >> Yeah. >> Oh, so people aren't building for if you. have a home team. >> Giant screen, right? You got to have.

that giant screen and all the, you know, cameras and everything. >> I think it's 60 ft. >> But you got to build a stadium for every. other thing that you. >> How many stadiums do they have? Do they. only play in one spot or. >> they only play in South Florida at the. Sofi Center that they built for this? >> But what would be goal for them as they. expand is there would be multiple I. guess is what you're. >> I thought that was actually happening. I'm not sure positive on that. But I. thought one of them collapsed. >> How you make money? >> Probably Arizona and then like Vegas or. something. >> Is this open to the general public? >> Yeah, I think you're buying. >> It has to be to make money. It has to be.

all week and the next one is. >> No, I mean to like go like like a top. Yeah, exactly. So they're never going to. be able to make any money. >> Ah, but maybe it does become that, right? I mean, maybe that would be the. play. >> Top Golf's not doing great. I know that, too. >> What? Top Golf doesn't have bays booming. anymore. >> Yeah, I think they sold. >> I think golf, >> was it Callaway bottom and then it went. way down, I believe. >> Yep. Callaway. >> Golf's going down. >> I mean, I don't know why they do [ __ ] if. it's going up. >> Well, I think they're doing the gimmick. [ __ ] because it's going up. >> Oh, okay. Nice. [laughter].

>> Good for them. >> All right. Now that I hear a. counterpoint, I agree with what you're. saying. >> Did you see the video of the Top Golf in. Michigan? I think it may have been over. the weekend where this kid is stepping. up to hit and the right side the nets. just start I don't know if they're like. frozen they were frozen. >> the nets just start collapsing just one. [clears throat] thing at a time and ice. yeah it's just like a [ __ ] title wave. and the kid just backs up and you can. see them just kind of they're like let's. get the [ __ ] out of here. >> Top Golf Auburn Hills the whole net came. down. >> okay.

Michigan oh my god. holy [ __ ]. >> [laughter]. >> Wow. >> I think they lost a lot of golf balls. after that. Michigan got a lot of snow. and ice this weekend. >> Yeah, it was frozen. >> I'll tell you what, Top Golf in. Michigan, I I guess it makes sense. because that's like kind of the upsides. of Topgolf is that the bays are heated. and you can hit full balls, >> right? >> So, you guys are saying Top Golf's not. in the same spot? Because I remember it. was impossible to get in Top Golf. >> Yes. In my brain, it's still impossible. to get into Top Golf. I guess that's not. the case anymore. >> It's weird, though. You either go there.

and use their wobbly clubs that are for. like a 95year-old geriatric person or. you're the weird hardo that brings your. own clubs. Like what are you supposed to. do? >> That's the problem. >> Callaway just bought them. I'm correct. >> Callaway bought them. >> Wow. Years ago they may have just sold. >> Yeah. Callaway just sold 60% of their. >> They lost but they lost a ton of money. >> Boom. In Florida. >> Callaway acquired Top Golf for 2 billion. in 2020 but is now selling the business. to a private equity firm for 1.1. billion. Same venue sales are down. double digits. Jesus.

>> Higher rates of destroyed returns and. Callaway stocks down 50% of Jesus. >> That's not good. >> Hey, by the dips they say [laughter]. >> TJL will help. >> I think. >> Scotty's not on the team by the way. >> He just. I know some NFL owners. >> he's just bored. >> are getting in but Billy Ho think he's a. captain. Kentley Justin Thomas are on. the team. Rory, he has his team. BCGC. >> Tiger still has his team with Max Tom. Kim and Kaisner Colin Morawa. Uh Justin.

Rose, >> we'd like to see it work. >> Matt, Fitzpatrick, Xander. >> It's everything that we would like in. something. >> Have different groups come in like. stream. I have sometimes where it's not. it's strictly like streamed online. It's. like coach BA and another co and Chuck. Pagano versus Bill Bichc and somebody. else. >> Yeah. In my head, I'm looking at this. place and I'm thinking about what it. would take to build this particular. thing. And then you can make it an. attraction. You can sell it to groups. and then you know bachelor parties all. that. You can get groups in there to do.

it. You would have to monitor it I. guess. And simulators kind of suck. So. you'd have to fix those. But there's sim. bars everywhere right there. >> Super popular. >> This is why I think flag football has a. run because I would rather watch flag. football with people that I don't know. than watch this for sure. >> Well for like the viewing part of it. like AJ said it jokingly. >> thousand% Diego. Okay. Pavia versus uh I. don't know Kade McNamera or Granowski. Yes, I absolutely. >> or like the Miz should have a team like.

you got you put cuz all right now we're. just watching guys not play real golf. who are pro golfers and like everything. kind of looks the same on the screen. until they go up and do the putts. Like. you need guy you need some people who. love golf who suck to be. >> DJ Khaled. >> Exactly. Like he needs him. >> where they miss the screen. Yeah. him. playing against like Rory's team or. whatever. Like that that would be it'd. be entertaining. >> No. And you don't even have to have the. pros do the close. >> Have the there the the random people.

celebs if you will. They're the ones. that have to hit it to the screen. >> Yeah. >> That has to be the only issue there. >> You got to kill some people. Yeah. >> Part of it. >> Oh yeah. >> Put a couple nets up. >> TJL. Everyone's wearing helmets. >> All right. That's golf. We talked about. it. 3:00. It's hard to talk about it. had to talk about it by talking about. how bad of an idea it was to do what. time you did it at, but we did talk. about it because we would like it to. succeed. Shout out to the TGL. Another. season. >> Hell yeah. >> Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to uh.

check the temperature of the NFL fan. bases from around the world. I put a. tweet out this morning saying, "Hey, we'd love to hear your overreactions on. this second to last regular season. overreaction Monday." Wow. Let's take. that in a little bit. Oh my gosh, this. is crazy. We're already here. Let's. enjoy every moment and let's enjoy every. tweet that had # I don't want to. overreact, but let's get to the first. one here. This one's from Boston Connor. This guy's making a lot of appearances.

this year on this one. # I don't want to. overreact, but Caleb's awesome. Bo Nicks. is a winner. Jaden Daniels is cool, but. Drake May is the guy for the next 20. years. Can't believe I get to cheer for. these two every time the Patriots take. the football field. It gives me chills. every single time or every single game. Truly an honor. Shout out to the. Patriots being all the way back and. Boston Connor getting a chance to enjoy. this all. I don't know if you saw over. the weekend Ben Johnson was doing an. interview with Tony Dunie and said one. of the most influential coaches that he.

has ever had or worked alongside was. Clyde Christensen. Obviously, we know. Clyde Christensen from this program. I. am a huge fan of Clyde Christensen. Sorry, Sensson. We all are. Right, right, right, right, right. But if. people forget Drake May uh was with. Clyde Christensen his last year at North. Carolina. Clyde Christensen told us as. the draft was about to happen. Drake May. is the guy. I mean this is Pton Manning. and Andrew Luck combined. I I I don't. know what else you can really do is what. Clyde told us. Then Debbuck goes and. golfs with him and Debbuck comes back.

and he goes Drake. Yep. He's number one. overall pick. If Clyde Christensen, who. has worked with everybody as quarterback. coach and has literally had to take. calls at 2, 3 a.m. from the greatest. quarterbacks on earth and have answers. for them, if he says he spent a year. with this guy and says he's going to be. a guy, and then around his brothers and. around people and in competitive. atmosphere, maybe some other people. boozing the way he operated and handled. himself, he's a guy. It felt like those. who knew Drake knew he was going to be. like this, but nobody else kind of. expected it. His footwork, he wasn't. going to be able to develop. Were the.

New England Patriots going to be worth a. [ __ ] You know, there was so many. questions about it all and now we're. staring down a prodigy basically in. Drake May and he's still how old? >> 23. >> Unbelievable what's happening up there. Congrats to you guys, Boston. >> Yeah. So cool. And and. you got to give some or a lot of credit. rather to the Craft family just because. they let go of Mayo and now this whole. thing has kind of started with uh. Vrabel. But yeah, going back to what you. said, I had a bunch of faith because of. Clyde Christensen, him coming on before. the uh draft in 2024, basically saying.

all those things what Debbud said. And. then last year, you know, that was the. whole entire thing his rookie year was. every single game there was some sort of. sign like, okay, this guy has it. This. guy, he can move. He can make the tough. throws. He can make the deep ball. throws. And then Vrabel coming in kind. of uniting everything. I mean, that's. why if you are a team that stinks, but. maybe has a guy at quarterback who's. young, maybe all it takes is one or two. guys, a left tackle by chance, maybe. Will Campbell, a couple veteran signings. in free agency, and then just the right.

guy at the helm like Mike Vrabel. I. mean, it is just truly a dream. And I I. can't believe like I was even sitting. here before the show saying, "Holy [ __ ]. like the playoffs are in two weeks.". Like, yes, it sucks that the. overreaction money this is the second. last one and we only have one more of. the regular season. But as one of those. teams that gets to actually go for a. Lombardi, I can't wait for meaningful. football. >> Hey, welcome back for you guys. >> Oh yeah, good to be back. >> It'd be great to be there with you. >> It'd be really fun. >> Maybe three years. >> Let's go to the next reaction. This is.

from KC Jones at KCK Jones 14. # I don't. want to overreact, but take me behind. the shed and put me done. >> Then if Todd BS is still the head coach. for Tampa after January 5th, dig up my. body and shoot me twice. I'm done. New. year, same Bucks next year. Hashtag. crew, hashtagfire the cannons and. hashtag fire the coach. Gabe Bose. doesn't have a lot of favor down there. This feels like a pretty big collapse. This feels like a pretty big collapse. You know, we talked about some teams.

that were in a great spot maybe middle. of the season. Uh and then here we find. ourselves in not so great. Colts, Packers, couple injuries, and then this. Bucks team. What the [ __ ] is going on? I. I don't think any of us fully comprehend. what's taking place. Debo, what are your. thoughts on the Bucks team? Because I. know a lot of the players that are. playing when I'm watching them play. I'm. like, I know him. I know him. He's good. He's good. He's good. They've been good. Just it's not coming together for some. reason. What are your thoughts? >> I mean, it it's wild cuz we we've had BA. in here all year long. So, he's.

obviously tightly connected with the. organization as well. So, you hear some. things from him where it's going good. You know, they're winning close games, they're winning walk-off games, they're. making the right plays. You're like, "Okay, this is a good team." And they're. doing that despite of all these injuries. with all these a lot of these players. that you're mentioning. And then you get. a lot of these players back kind of one. by one and they start playing worse down. the stretch when you want to be playing. your best ball. It's very concerning. And if I was a fan of the Bucks, I'll. probably be feeling the same way about. my head coach. And you heard Todd Bose. too. Uh maybe last week after the game. when he just came out and just talk like.

you've never kind of heard Todd Bose. speak in public. Uh that that was a loud. siren as well. >> I'm worried about him. Age. I'm worried. about they're calling them the. succaneers again. I don't like that. I. don't like that. >> Yeah. What do you think of Sheffy? Sheffie is saying he he doesn't Was he. saying that Baker may be playing hurt. because of stuff he has hurt? Or is he. just saying he's guessing, hey, there. has to be a reason why this team isn't. playing well. >> If Sher's saying it, I'm assuming it's. something he's potentially hurt. You. know, like we got to take that with. everything that Sher says. We have to. assume it's coming from a place in which.

he has some information that we don't. have, right? We have to take that with. Shiff. That's part of the insider game. That's why he's, you know, not really. paying attention to anything. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Uh-huh. Okay. >> Yes. So, what's got to take this? That's. his life. >> I take a shower. Wip wiping the steam. off the shower. Trying to look at what. his new text was. Yeah. Oh, >> I get this. Kind of currently washing my. ass. [laughter] Okay. Okay. Okay. I'll.

break it. I'll break it. I'll break it. I'll break it. Huh? Is that two years or three? Oh, come on. >> Oh, I gotta take finish my shower. That's his life. >> Yeah, >> he's committed to it full time. >> So, anytime he's speaking about. anything, one of these was something. about it, you know? That's even if it's. from another place, that place, somebody. that played the place, like I just. assume he is a constant stream of intel, Sheffy, and then what he's speaking is.

what he thinks he's allowed to say. You. know, that's like whenever you say, um, what do you know to people so you know. what the parameters of what you're. allowed to release? Like what is the. information that we already have so that. I don't go past that? Feels like Sheffer. sets those parameters a lot on what we. hear, what we don't hear, what we know, what we don't know. So that's like. anytime he says anything, I'm thinking. there's some [ __ ]. >> educated guess probably. >> Yes. Especially if you had those. contexts. I mean, I don't want to talk.

about it too much, but like us getting. to talk to these coaches before these. games, >> holy [ __ ] what an advantage. >> Yeah, >> legit. >> If you get a chance to talk to the team. about what they're thinking and how they. What an advantage that is. She has that. with every team, right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah, I think so. >> Front office people everywhere. Yeah. >> Well, Baker, we know he threw his. shoulder out against the Rams. So, he. might just be saying like, "Hey, he only. missed the second half against the Rams. at Sofi and then after that, he never. really missed any time, so he could just. point to the left shoulder." But to. Debbut's point, and you've said it a. lot, it's week 18. Like, how many guys.

on every team aren't hurt? I mean, I. know Josh Allen's hurt. Josh Allen's. gone hurt in damn near every single. game. And like, you never see anything. about that. And then, you know, we. talked about it as well with uh what's. his name? Herbert and Rogers. I mean, they have broken and Rogers missed a. game. Herbert had surgery on a Monday or. on a Tuesday and he played on a Monday. So, it's it's like I get the hurt thing, but this has been a historic collapse. It's not as if this was just recently. >> And they're a fun team. I think we like.

the Buccaneers. Like V on the defensive. side, he's fun. >> Mike Evans, he's fun. >> Baker Mayfield fun. Warf fun. >> Was fun. >> Winfield. >> Fun. >> Irving. >> Yeah, >> it's a fun team. >> Fun team. >> They were stink. >> They saw. Hey, >> they're no fun in. >> still got a chance. to playoff game. Winner gets Seattle or. San Fran. >> Hey, chip in a chair, brother. That's. right. That's all you need. >> The long flight. >> I don't love we lost our playoff.

opportunities the night before the game, you know, and everybody's saying, "Well, why the [ __ ] Phil Rivers playing?". >> I had I had a thought though, like cuz. you guys came out hot. I was like, "Oh, the Colts are used to playing with no. playoffs in the future." So, like, they. played really good. >> No. And then. >> the reason why they played really good. is because Phil Rivers cut a [ __ ]. promo before the game to the boys that. motivated them about being kids and. playing football. And does it matter? Yes, it does matter and it always will. matter because it's the sport we're. representing out here. And then he was. introed last. First time he's ever got.

the opportunity to really experience a. thank you from Lucas Oil Stadium from. the Loud House. And I'll tell you what, big thank you bought for Phil Rivers. It. wasn't just for what he did this year. coming out of retirement. It was for. like 2020. He never got to experience. it. I felt like we all had I got a. little emotional for Phil. Came out. last, you know? They announced Jonathan. Taylor and I'm like, "Holy [ __ ] they're. letting Phil go last year." And then he. comes out and I think everybody in there. was like, "Hey, not for this year." I. mean, obviously, thank you for this. year, but we never got to say it. Thank. you for co to. And I think he took it in.

a little bit. You know, he's in front of. his entire team. He's in front of his. entire boys were there. >> Would have been cool to get a win. >> It's bonus games. That's right. >> Yeah. >> Never saw these coming. >> He said, "Don't make the [ __ ] movie. We got to win a game to win make a. movie, you know.". >> True. >> Not in Indie. All right. You need to. stop it. >> They don't give a [ __ ]. >> Big three are in the middle of it. They're going to have to make a big. decision. >> Yeah. >> Carly, Casey, and Kaylin, welcome to. being owners in the NFL. If you stick. with the operation this offseason, that's a huge decision. Huge decision.

that's going to be judged. If you decide. to move on, that's a lot of decisions. that you have to make and you have to. get them all right. But I think they're. ready. They're prepared for it. Welcome. to the biz, though. Welcome to the biz. >> Exactly. Melt, >> huh? >> What a [ __ ] melt. historic melt. >> That fibula, we all learned about it at. the same time. There's that fibula. >> Off a buy. >> You got to, you know, it's football. >> So, whatever. >> Long season, huh? >> I mean, is there anything wrong with. him? No, he's good. Sally, [laughter].

>> what the [ __ ]. >> I think he's going to be fine. But. Shifty, I think he he should be he'll be. managing it. It'll be okay. >> Oh, yes. You're right, AJ. Maybe Sheffy. doesn't know what he [ __ ] he's talking. about. [laughter]. >> Should have be good to go for the start. of the season. >> He said he had a broken leg. That seems. like something you would have to deal. with. He He's got a He's got a broken. leg. He's got a torn Achilles. Yeah. He's free agent. He'll be back for the. beginning of next year and it'll go well. because it's Danny Dimes and we. appreciate Danny Dimes and I like Danny. Dime to stick around. I would like Danny.

Dime to stick around. >> Yes. >> But it's like what's the who's the what. is the whole thing? >> What's the contract? >> What is everything. >> the deal look like? Yeah. >> Who? We don't have one. So like who are. we Do we got pieces? >> Oh no. That is a shame. Alec Pierce, >> his contract's up. I think he's a good. weapon for us. We like him. >> He's gonna get a lot of money. >> Jonathan Taylor's gonna want a new deal. >> No Warren is crazy. >> He's uns. >> When do you have to pay Tyler Warren? $800 million in two years. Probably. >> three years. Thank you. He's got him.

Quinton Nelson makes another Pro Bowl. He was willing to fight a couple people. for Philip Rivers. I appreciate that. Phil Rivers guy John while they're. walking Quinton Nelson walks next to. person in between Phil and person just. kind of like a little quick walk. I'm. like I like that. I like what we're. doing there. Got a couple pillars, you. know, we can build around going forward. >> Do you bring Phil back? >> Would you like my opinion? >> Yeah. >> [ __ ] right. >> Okay. >> But I'm bringing it back for the last. game of the season. >> Well, you're [clears throat] not. >> We'll see what Riley We'll see what.

Riley's able to do. >> A Riley start. >> I think Phil should play the last game. I don't get it. >> Okay. So, it sounds like you're being a. condescending prick right now. >> No, I'm absolutely not. If Phil was on. the team, why isn't Phil playing? >> So, I don't know. You think he's going. to be I don't know. That's a good point. >> He misses the headset, man. He's He's. going to grab the headset, call plays. >> Maybe they didn't want to send him out. on his deathbed against the Texans. >> Well, why play this game then? We were. already out of it. Start Riley. starting reps all week. >> Fil. get it. >> Cuz there was still a chance. >> But I mean, [ __ ] it. Send them home like.

Max. >> Yeah, they don't care. So you want to. throw Riley to the Wolves then the. Texans. I mean what do we do? >> He's a tough kid. >> I will say great deep ball. >> He threw a great Hail Mary. >> He did gave him a chance. He gave him a. chance. Had. >> to move that thing. >> What What happened? Uh I'm not going to. get into it. >> What do you mean? >> I believe commentator thought that maybe. that was a curtain call for Phil Rivers. That's why they're bringing around. >> I can't remember if it was red zone or I. was watching the actual game. They said. take. >> I think it was red zone. >> Taking out you heard it too then. Taking. out Phil for curtain call.

>> Like I don't think so. Six boy K six. >> I was kind of confused by that. >> Okay. So, yeah, you heard it then. >> It's football. We're all trying. But on. that note, >> a lot of announcers sucked yesterday. >> Yeah. And normally they're so freaking. good. >> Yeah. Well, that's the thing is. everybody thinks we suck, too. So, it's. hard for me to judge. >> Well, I do. So, and I can admit it. These people won't admit it. >> Okay. And I think that is our. difference. We admit that we suck on a. daily basis, but we appreciate everybody. that follows along. And we on that note, if you'd like to hear us impersonate ass.

and cheeks as we call a game, [laughter]. we'll be on New Year's Eve ESPN 2 and. New Year's Day 4 p.m. ESPN 2 as Field. Pass continues to travel the College. Football Playoff. Both at the Cotton. Bowl as the Miami Hurricanes, who just. beat Texas A&M in a windstorm down there. in College Station, will take on the. reigning national champion Ohio State. Buckeyes. And at the Rose Bowl, Alabama, who just beat Oklahoma after a 17-point. comeback in the second half, will take. on the Indiana Hooers, who are the only.

team in America that is undefeated. The. reigning defending Big 10 champs, get. their first college football playoff. action in the Rose Bowl. They haven't. been there forever. >> Love what's going on. It's going to be a. lot of talking and we're going to sound. bad for a lot of it, but you can enjoy. it alongside of us. Let's get some more. of reactions. This one's from a Greek. man from Baltimore, John Minadakus. # I. don't want to overreact, but Sunday's. matchup is a true loser leaves Tan match. between Harbs and Tomlin. Miss the.

playoffs and be gone from the territory. On that note, hope Tone Digs can refer. Mike a good moving company. Ravens are about to smack the Steelers. on Sunday night, says Jimmy's famous. seafood, which we will say. >> stinks. >> What? That is not what we were going to. say. >> It ain't as good as Big Mike McCarthy's. cheese. >> I'll say Big Mike McCarthy's meat and. cheeses were certainly a home run, but.

anytime Jimmy's delivers to the building. here, which they can serve nationwide, by the way, they get the best crab cakes. uh on earth, and they can serve you. wherever. They will ship it directly to. your house. It's actually an incredibly. delightful presentation when it shows. up. The people that are doing it though, just know that they uh they're hoping. that Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh. Steelers have the worst Sunday in the. history of Sundays. That's what type of. operation they're running over. >> I'll say this, Madonas sent me like a. little shot glass from Jimmy's for. Christmas. I spin it and then I smashed.

it on the floor. Okay, smart. Just so he. knows that. I told him already, but just. so he knows that. >> I don't know if he's spitting it, rewrapped it, and shipped it back. That. would have been interesting. >> Next year something. >> I don't know if he's going to send you. one next year. [laughter]. Not on Christmas yet. >> But to his point, >> I said this earlier, if this truly was. and if if like the NFL had bowl games, this would be a good idea for this week. 18. Loser, losing head coach gets fired, winning team obviously goes to playoffs. I think, you know, win or lose, I think. both fan bases would be happy.

>> Oh, how the North has fallen. >> It's a shame. >> Yeah. >> Reminds me of that mama's dinner table. match. >> Yes, exactly. >> Mhm. Winner gets the bomb. >> OCW classic. >> Yeah, that that one baby didn't have mom. more than. >> Yeah, tattoo baby. Yeah, tattoo baby. >> Did not kind of created NLM as our. champion. >> He resented the champ. >> Kind of like Derrick Henry created NLM. >> Well, maybe actually.

>> Let's get to the next overreaction. I. mean, OCW championship was worth it all. >> History repeats itself, man. >> Dan Riley at Do you know office. championship wrestling? >> Uh, I remember was it Jesus versus the. devil? >> Okay. No. Jesus. >> Wait, I'm sorry. >> Easter Bunny versus the devil. No, he he. he also was involved. But. >> yeah, the devil was working with the. Easter Bunny the whole time. >> He was Oh, it was our champion versus. the devil. >> No, against Easter Bunny, I think. >> No, Easter Bunny came in to help DB, but. >> No, devil was stealing our soul. >> Yeah. Yeah.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Nick was running his mouth. >> Yeah. Nick talked [ __ ] to the devil. >> It's very New Testament. >> Okay. The Easter Bunny though did show up and. helped the devil which which is crazy. >> crazy heel turned out. >> We didn't expect that. And then Jesus. Christ showed up and guess what? >> Our souls were saved. Hey, that was a. pretty big day. It was a casket match. actually if I do recall. >> Oh yeah. Straight to hell match. Straight to hell yeah. Wow. >> It was crazy. Casket really tough to. close actually we found out. >> Yeah. Jesus almost broke his fingers. >> Yes, he did. >> Jesus almost broke his face too cuz he.

was standing on side. >> Quick hands. >> He would never. >> Quick hands by Jesus. It was close. It. was really close. Honestly, we were. surprised as well. >> He was flowing. >> But Jesus was on the right side. >> Always. >> Mhm. >> Amen. >> Amen. >> This is Dan Riley at DR Rolls. # I don't. want to overreact. But the Bills will. either be one and done in a wildcard. round or they're going to the Super. Bowl. There's literally no in between. They're the only team that can hold an. opponent to 17 total yards in the second. half and still lose that game. [ __ ]. them. Okay. Is that how all Bills fans.

feel? those fans are kind of done with. >> Yeah, there were a lot of these. [laughter] and and then kind of uh I. think just it kind of opened the door. too for you know what, [ __ ] Shawn. McDermott. Get this guy out of here. We've been doing this long enough. If we. don't win the Super Bowl this year, fire. this [ __ ] guy. But yeah, it was a lot. of that kind of stuff. >> Ain't that crazy too cuz if a completion. happens that Josh Allen, >> he's wide open. >> would always complete. Sean McDerman, Buffalo Bills, what a win over the. Philadelphia. They go for it for two.

They do it all instead. Not a. completion. They lose and now all of a. sudden the Buffalo Beles are dead. It's. like Philadelphia Eagles are a great. football team. Philadelphia, your teams. are going to lose to great football. teams. We talked about this last week. Philadelphia Eagles are a great football. team. Not saying the Bills shouldn't be. bummed that, but boy, I think you should. be pumped. You got Josh up there, but. are they falling into the Mike Tomlin, Shawn McDermott world where they're. like, "Yeah, being successful is cool. This is a lot of fun. It's a lot of fun. We can't go win a Super Bowl." Is that. where Bills fans are? It's crazy. Yeah, but it's worse because they're doing it.

with one of the best quarterbacks in the. league. So, that's tough. >> And it's worse for this year because now. everyone, you know, I don't believe. this, but now everyone is going to say. like, you know, no Chiefs, no Ravens, no. Bengals, and like the Bills finally kind. of have a clearer path versus all the. other teams that are unproven. Cuz I. mean, you go down the list, no playoff. wins for Bo Knicks, no playoff wins for. Drake May, one playoff win for Trevor. Lawrence, Steelers or Ravens. We'll see. what happened. But but you know, the.

Ravens and Lamar have never been to a. Super Bowl. Rogers hasn't been to a. Super Bowl in a long time. And then, you. know, Herbert, no playoff wins. And uh. who's the last one there? Texans struck. who who they've won a playoff game in. each of his first two years, but this. would be the year that a lot of Bills. fans are expecting them to go. Yep. >> So, good luck Bills fans. >> Okay. >> It's from Dr. Gonzo uh PhD and looks. like in uh booze at real Gonzo at Patm. show # I don't want to overreact but the.

Steelers are dead. Last three games. they've played in the dog pound. They've. lost. Rogers needs to shut down his book. club because he can't even read defenses. anymore. Start watching baseball because. Pittsburgh's no longer a football town. Jeez, is that accurate, Don? >> This guy's an idiot and every I mean. everything he said was wrong. You could. be mad about the game, but don't be. wrong about everything you say, [ __ ]. >> Okay, so let's go on what was wrong. >> Huh? >> What was wrong? >> Rogers can definitely still read.

defenses. Okay. >> He doesn't have a book club anymore. >> Okay. >> So, >> Pirates have had a great off season, but. it'll never be a baseball town. >> Yeah, it's a hockey time and a football. >> Great off season. >> Have they really lost the last three. games to the dog pine? >> Yeah. Um, they lost this one. Uh, they. lost last year in the snow to Jimmy. Winston. Uh, and then the year before. that, I believe the quarterback. >> DTR, I believe. >> I believe it was DTR. Yeah. Uh, fun. fact, I believe the last five times that. they've played teams Oh, there it is.

There's a stat. That's the one I was. looking for. These are teams that are. eight games or more below 500. So, that's at least halfway through the. season. Uh, it's, you know, so we're in. the back half season. These are must-win. games. And you just can't beat shitty. teams. >> That two and 10 paths team though, they were [ __ ] Zappy was [ __ ] sir. >> And that was a Thursday night and Mitch. Trabiscy had to start. So I I don't you. know I don't fully blame them for that. one. But uh but no, you just can't get.

can't get your team ready against. terrible teams or. >> what are you saying? What are you What. was that all about? >> We can't beat bad teams. You can't beat. good teams. You're just the kings of. mediocrity. Crown them. >> [ __ ] Still a crown. >> You said just like the Bills guy. All. right, let's move along. Let's go to the. next one. Uh this is from uh Caric. Vangala. # I don't want to overreact but. Cohen, Ben Johnson, Joe Brady, McVey, Clingsberry, and all the other hot shot. offensive minds sit at the kids table in.

Shanahan's house. He is going COVID. varel this season. Deserves the coach of. the year. Injuries, suspensions, whatever. Aayuk has Shanahan got the. answers. I'll tell you what, JJ. mentioned it how the coach of the year. candidacy has basically become was the. team asked and are they good now, which. certainly should be talked about when. flipping a culture and coaching and. everything like that. But with what this. Niners team has had to go through this. season, the fact that they're staring. down a potential number one seed, Shanahan's name should definitely be in.

consideration. AJ Hawk, >> it absolutely should. I mean, a lot of. people I feel like wrote the the Niners. off early in the season felt like these. guys uh this is not going to be their. year, but with what they have overcome. and how well Brock has been playing. later in the year, you got to feel. really good about where you're at if. you're the Niners. >> Tone just said that they're the number. two in odds currently sitting at. DraftKings. He is currently number two. in odds sitting at DraftKings for coach. of the year. >> Yeah. So, Vable is first, then Shanahan, followed by McDonald, Cohen, Ben. Johnson, and Shawn Peyton, which I mean.

any of those guys you can make an. argument for. >> Yeah. But you can make probably the. strongest argument for variables. So, woohoo. >> Yeah. But does any coach care? Do they. do they care about winning this? They. they might get a bonus in their. contract. I guess. >> I think their agents care. >> Yeah. I mean, it's nice to have, but. they all know like I need to win the. Super Bowl. >> Yeah. I mean, I think that's how coaches. are wired. I think their business people. care, though. >> Especially Shanahan. We're talking about. the Bills and not being able to get over. the hump and win it. San Fran has been. there a couple times and obviously. you're banged up but um Shanahan's done. an unbelievable job coaching this.

offense and that offense like the [ __ ]. that they do pre- snap and post snap and. Brock party playing like this they'll be. unbelievable defensively can they figure. it out but this whole stretch is always. we talk about excuses or injuries. obviously are injuries and they've had. to deal with it seemingly every year to. big- time players but yeah they got a. big hump and a big monkey to get off his. back as well. I didn't like the. Christian McCaffrey back thing, you. know, in the second half. They they were. talking. I mean, it's inevitable with. how much he gets the ball, you know, but. it's like uh they're a special team and.

a fun team to watch and talking about. how smart that guy is, the fullback who. just lives at the Pro Bowl inch check. It's um it's a cool team. Congrats to. Shanahan getting a squad and congrats to. Party putting it down. I mean, absolutely putting it down. Let's go to. the next one. This is from Garrett at. Death Pain. Seemingly got his own logo there, too. You see the D and the P in there. That's. a really good logo. # I don't want. overreact, but. >> I'm not worried about Caleb. >> He has shown he can make any throw and. compete with anyone and is already the. best Bears quarterbacks we've ever had.

Parenthesis low bar. But this defense is. an overrated joke, below average at best. when you take away the turnovers. If. anyone is going to ruin this magical. run, it's going to be the defense. Ples. needs to get his head out of his ass and. figure out a way to spend money this off. season. Bear. If you take away the turnovers, they. stink. You take away the points, the. offense stinks. I think turnovers are a. big part of the defense. I now granted I. think what he's trying to say here, Mr. Death Pan, is like this when a. basketball team lives by the three, you.

know, whenever you don't the threes. don't fall, you're done. So, whenever. it's just turnover friendly defense and. you're not getting them, it could be a. hard day, tough day. But yeah, it's a uh. I mean they got a pick six immediately. which is certainly a celebratory thing. but a lot of points last night from that. San Francisco 49ers offense. A lot of. points in that game last night age. >> Yeah. I mean I can understand getting. worried like hey what if we don't get. turnovers when it matters when we're in. a true sudden death game in the. playoffs. But I mean it's not a bad. thing that your team your defense finds.

a way to get a bunch of turnovers. That's a that's a positive thing. Yeah. Hey if you take away all the good plays. we're a terrible team. [laughter] Yeah. That's basically what you're saying. Oh, you're saying that's a little bit of a. rude overreaction. I can respect it. They still got a [ __ ] ton of turnovers. Let's go to the next one. Seems like. another cool logo here. Jeez, a little. bit of a run on AI here. Out I'll run. Phoenix 69 at Lon Dakota. # I don't want. to overreact, but it's the same damn. [ __ ] every week with the Eagles. Get a. lead and pray the defense holds up. Vicio should be allowed to [ __ ] slap. Sirani in that [ __ ] live at the 50.

yard line every week. The offense. [ __ ] stinks. Wow. A lot of that. coming out, I assume. >> Yeah, a lot of that. Uh, no one really. happy that they won. Even though as the. Eagles have continued to win and their. offense might not look good, I'm. starting to come back around. I'm like, man, this team really could win the. Super Bowl, but their fans don't feel. that way. Uh, they they kind of always. have hated Sirani's guts, even when he. won the Super Bowl. And Patulo is just. the newest newest kind of toy uh that. they can really, hey, we got somebody.

We got a guy we can just [ __ ] [ __ ] on. every single week, which I think they. need. >> Jaylen Herz over Yeah, it's good for the. Philly culture. 0 for seven in the. second half. I guess he becomes like the. first quarterback that has no. completions in the second half to win a. game, blah blah blah blah blah that type. of stuff. And I think these Jons over. there are accurate in their depiction of. the offense. So, it does not look like. the offense from last year whenever they. won a Super Bowl. And they've been. complaining since the beginning, but. they win games. >> Yeah, you got to find a way, especially. if you watched that game yesterday. It. was a ugly game. Bad weather. uh didn't.

throw the ball a bunch, had a couple. throwaways, but yeah, the offense looks. absolutely terrible. When you tried out. a defense out there week in and week out. that can match up with anybody. regardless of what that offensive style. is, um you got a chance. And then with. those players on the offensive side, you. would think like at some point they can. figure it out and put a couple games. together. We've seen them do it, too. We. talked about coaches. Uh they got great. coaches on both um sides of the ball. So, I'm still not out on the Eagles. >> Yeah, me neither. And also, most. important time, maybe they dial it up. You know, maybe they're getting too used.

to the confetti in the spotlight that. they need. They fiend for it. That's. when they play their best. Siri's. talking his [ __ ] out of the game. Uh, miss the locker room. >> Sure. >> You saw that age? >> Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> AJ Brown's like, "Coach, we're going. >> this way.". >> Oh, yeah. That's right. >> I was watching AJ Brown the whole time. Yeah. >> See if he was going to get in on it. >> Go pile on guys. You know, we we we. [clears throat] started measuring guys. Yep. All right, coach. Yep. See? Oh, [ __ ] Got this way. Got it. Every time I. watch it, it's better.

>> [ __ ] that locker room has been there. for 60 years. [laughter]. >> That is where that has been. >> He's been in and out of that locker room. seven times that day alone probably. >> Sorry. He's locked in on talking his. [ __ ] I That's Sirani football. That's. >> He's just walking right out of the. stadium. He's going right to the bus. >> That is literally the exit right there. Yeah. Right out at the top of that. tunnel. Interesting dynamic there coming. out and going in the same way. That new. stadium should be spectacular. Hopefully. they still have that fight factory. Yeah. you know, for pre and post games. where everybody's coming in the same. almost another one this weekend.

Offensive lineman was walking out. Yeah, he and a couple D linemen were getting. into it. It's like I can't believe that. is still how that whole thing goes. That's crazy. Uh good chivalry up there. Let's move along. This is from Aaron. Bag, I assume. Airbag # I don't want to. overreact, but once again, the Colts. stink. and collapse late in the season and. missed the playoffs. It's time for Carly. to send Osama bin Ballard in coach. stinking out of Indie and straight into. the burning sun. Let it fry just like.

they fried our happiness for nine years. >> That's not his name. >> That is not Chris Ballard's name or. Stiken's name. And I would like to say. that I know there's a lot of teams that. have excuses seemingly every year for. why their team's not good. There are a. lot of excuses for the Chris Ballard era. of why there hasn't been success, but. boy, it's just one after another. It's. like, is this guy cursed then? Is it. more like cursed Ballard as opposed to. Chris Osama bin Ballard? >> Is it Is it maybe cursed Ballard? I'm. not 100% sure. And then Shane Stiken, I.

guess, you know, whenever Dimes was. playing quarterback and he had a. quarterback that understood everything. was going on where the number one. offense in football coach of the year. candidate. Yeah. What are we talking. about? >> But is it every year there's going to be. something, you know, and is it like do. you need a re. >> your starting quarterback does get hurt. every year? That is a tough coaching. situation to be in. >> and front office, you know, and a front. office thing. But it's not just but it's. like who are the quarterbacks that. they're choosing to pick as opposed to. what they're trying to do. We obviously. had the number four overall pick at one. point. We have players that we've paid a.

bunch of money to but for some reason. haven't been able to have success. It's. like I don't know. It's a conundrum. But. maybe it does need just like a reset or. maybe it'll just click. And I said after. last season whenever it came out I was. um I was at the end of it though. I. believe it was the premiere of Monday. Night Raw on Netflix and it was uh right. afterwards and I was talking about how. it feels like what the Colts currently. have going on. This was last season with. everything that was coming out about. being late, missing this and skipping. this and basically not being.

professional athletes and then. collapsing the way that they did and how. they did and me talking about it. Obviously didn't make any friends in the. locker room kind of exposing the lack of. professionalism that was happening. there. But it was like in my eyes I. thought everything that was in that. building was going to be tough to fix. because it's already been a culture. guys are under their second contract in. this [ __ ] Ballard's been here nine. years, 10 years. That's two contracts of. like his guys. So, it's like, how do you. change the culture in the building? So, I thought it was impossible to be able. to do that without a reset. Then they. bring in Danny Dimes. They bring in a. couple other guys. Then the word out of.

camp is like, hey, these dudes are. actually all they needed was just a. little optimism that they could win. And. it was like everything was going right. this year. And it's like, okay, they did. figure it out. And then all of a sudden, they get an injury to the quarterback, get a couple other injuries, and it's. over again. and they just look like ass. and now they're going to lose eight. straight. It's like did we just go. immediately back to what we were last. year as soon as Danny Dimes got hurt? What does that mean and what does that. say? It's like I don't know. I I don't. know how they fix it. I genuinely don't. know. I don't know how it goes. But it. feels like every year there's a genuine.

reason for why the Colts are ass. Um but. >> what a tough offseason. I guess not. tough, but like there's got like tough. decisions to be made for for the big. three in their first off season to where. their dad is not around. >> Yeah. Right in it. Right in it. I mean, this is huge decisions. >> For it ownership, baby. >> That's been part of game. >> and the clock's ticking. We need two. more Super Bowls in the next four years. >> That's why I think you just ride Ballard. and Stiken out one more year. I I.

genuinely believe in the in the vision. We saw it this year. They like their. guys. >> and I like their guys. >> They became really bad really quick. though. >> Very quickly. >> I mean like as soon as there was a hint. that like you guys might be asking you. got it, we'll take it. >> No, it wasn't it wasn't wasn't a slow. crash though. >> No, we're ass now. >> Tough schedule. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We play a lot of good teams. >> Yeah. Tough second half.

>> Oh, you didn't hear you guys get to just. play the Cardinals every game next year. >> Boom. So maybe. >> Titans mixed in. >> Yeah, >> we got them twice. >> Shout out Shout out Trey McBride. >> All time. >> receptions leader in a single season. >> Good football player. >> Great football player. >> Doesn't help that the Jags look like. they're going to be pretty solid squad. the next five to 10 years. >> Yeah. And Houston. >> Yeah, that's why you kind of have to hit. the reset. Like is there any other Maybe. I mean maybe the Steelers, but I feel. like there are a lot of people who would. still be okay with Tomlin coming back. Like if they retain both Stiken and.

Ballard, I feel like the entire fan base. will be. >> You got to remember the entire fan base. was already. >> Yeah, exactly. So, you're kind of in a. lose-lose. >> No, I think it's like 92% negativity. going into the season was that one. place's poll. >> Yeah. >> Now, who are the people that are reading. that place. >> in voting? >> Oh, were they right? >> Exactly. I started thinking about them. the other day. I'm like, >> they knew it. They knew that we weren't. going to be able to withstand anything. like that. Because you look at the ners. and obviously Brock Party got hurt, then. they put Matt Jones in, then Brock Party.

comes back, but they lose two of their. stars on defensive side and it wasn't. just like, let's quit, you know, it was. like, let's play a little football here. Let's win some games. >> Yeah. >> I haven't seen a lot of people do a lot. of good football for the Colts in a. while. It was a bummer. I took my shirt off in. the stadium yesterday. >> Yeah. >> What happened to the run game? >> Exactly. What the [ __ ] happened? >> JT got him sweet gifts. He's supposed to. He did do that, but I mean. >> Jesus. >> What did he get him? >> He get him fossils. >> No, >> like side by side. >> Side by sides. Yeah.

>> Sweet. >> I got little trucks, right? One of the. little trucks. >> I The names confused me last week. I. don't know what they're called. >> The Matt Rules. >> Those were cool. Yes. >> Yes. The Matt Rules. >> Matt Rules. >> Okay. >> I saw him sky. Uh. >> what's he doing? >> What do you mean? >> What's he doing? >> He was on a zipline. >> Yeah, I know. He was on a [ __ ]. zipline. I saw it. Believe me was. awesome. >> Always be That was That was the hardest. I've laughed in a long time. A long. time. Just all of a sudden. >> just [laughter] [ __ ] rule flying.

across the What was it? Circus. Circus. Flying across side. >> Oh man, I watched that maybe a thousand. times on set. >> Going very fast. I appreciate the. fearlessness. And the boys loved it, too. The boys love it. You know who's. you know we talked about that. quarterback going and there's. conversations about him going back in. Nebraska potentially. >> Oh is there? >> I think so. >> Oh so that was like a situation where. you go test the waters and you get a lot. less than you were supposed to. Oh it's. a.

>> see a Molly situation. >> No we don't know about any of that. I'm. just saying I think people in Nebraska. have not given up hope that he comes. back to Nebraska. I don't know. >> They still want him back. >> Wow. >> I wouldn't want him back. >> Kick fired his uncle. Right. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> All right. Last overreaction, coach. rule, we like what you're doing out. there. This from Jacob JJ James_59. # I don't want to overreact, but. >> in a must-win game, you could bet the. house, the kids, the fate of the [ __ ]. world on the Panthers losing.

>> [ __ ]. >> All right, you got a big one this. weekend, buddy. >> Sounds like you can bet it all. >> He already knows. >> Good luck, brother. Good luck to all. parties. We appreciate you all for. hanging out with us today. It is 3:56. Eastern. >> That's a pretty good little day here. Mhm. >> Good love show. >> We only got a couple of these left. >> I know. >> It's almost off season time. >> If this goes in, it's good offse. >> Okay. >> [ __ ]. >> Almost.

>> Wait, wait, wait. It might land on the. >> We do play it. >> [ __ ]. >> Oh no. >> There's a bunch of [ __ ] this off season. >> Right online. >> Terrible off season. >> We got the World Cup. >> Got the Olympics. [ __ ] world baseball. classic. >> Yeah, this is. >> so I need the international ball. >> international. >> We forget playoffs is like six weeks. long somehow. >> UFX XFL. >> that. >> and the NBA draft. >> Is the US XFL happening? I saw AJ. McCarron's got a team.

The old Crew Stadium. they're playing. Nice place. >> Yeah. >> Let's go. I'm excited to see if it. works. They got the guy from uh Noble, what's his name? Mike. >> Rapolei. There it is. >> There it is. I saw him cutting a promo. at some press conference thing talking. about the US XFL is about to be the best. all something. He was really getting. after it. He was jacked up about it. So,

I was pumped to see that there was good. energy behind it. >> Um my first and only request would be uh. let's make sure that there's. self-awareness on that team. Mhm. Mhm. >> All the teams. >> Yeah, >> we're holding that. Okay. Well, I'm holding out my eyes from one. >> Okay. I'm not doing. >> This is the year we go all in. >> They didn't want the pizza, right? The. kid didn't They didn't want pizza. >> That was a different coach. >> Oh, that was a different league.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. And that league, I guess, didn't. even pay hotel bills, >> correct? >> Mhm. >> Oh, it's a sycamore situation. If this. goes in, it's going to be a great US XFL. league. >> Hell yeah. >> Hell yeah. >> Just like I [ __ ] thought. Just like I thought. [snorts]. >> It's gone. That thing's going to roll. out of the whole Thunderdome. >> Oh man. >> I'm watching the US XFL this year. What. is your team? The Columbus Aviators. Ted. G. >> Yeah. Yep. >> What's AJ McCarron see? The Birmingham. Stallions, I think.

>> Mhm. >> That's a good squad. >> I'm taking him. Who's your team? Foxy. >> Michigan Panthers are dead. some out on. the league. >> Oh wow. >> We were We were in the finals last year. They could have won the whole damn thing. and now they're team. >> Really? >> Yikes. >> From the finals. >> Yes. >> Puka's brother was our best player. >> Oh well. >> All right.

Matthew Stafford, potential MVP. candidate, takes on the Atlanta Falcons. Rams favored by seven with 81% of the. public vote. Remember this weekend, if. you had more than 60% of the public bets.

on something, they won four times out of. 10. They went four and six. Last weekend. we won for the first time and then every. other week other than a tie we lost. So. whenever a majority of people are. feeling a certain way, normally. percentages are telling us it's not. going to go great. Tonight is that. different. Tone, what is the bet to be. looking at as we look at the Rams and. the Falcons? >> I think you take the Rams and lay it. >> Okay. Deeply, are you going with the. Rams or the Falcons? >> I'm going to listen to AP Tone. I'm. going to take the Rams and lay the. touchdown.

>> AJ Hawk. >> Yeah. Yeah, I mean I think McVey wants. uh Matthew Stafford to win the MVP, so I. will take the Rams. >> Me as well. Monday Night Football, Matthew Stafford.

Okay. I didn't know the answer on. whether or not it was legal. >> I'm not totally positive. >> I was assuming on uh that when I showed. up with this thing, somebody was going. to say something from some rules. committee and I was just going to have. no other options in the bag. So, I was. going to say what you want me to use. [ __ ] 700. >> I mean, you can use a driver to putt. So, why wouldn't you be able to use. that? >> Yeah, you can use whatever you want. >> It's true. >> What are you playing [snorts] in some. PGA sanctioned events? Are you worried. about? >> Uh, maybe I come back out to Tahoe. You. know, maybe I. >> Yeah, you can use that out there. I I. mean, have you seen. >> you guys still got that bet?

>> That whatever. >> Yeah, that's that's. >> time is ticking. >> No, it's not. I got nothing but time, buddy. >> Here we go. This I mean I think you're. going to especially that open stance. You're going to drain stuff. >> Yeah, there's a ball in there. >> I do know you can't do that. I know. that's against the rules. >> What's that? >> Having your foot point towards the hole. >> You can do whatever you want. >> It's illegal. The internet says. >> to open your skin is illegal. Is it. illegal? >> It's illegal. >> [ __ ]. >> What's illegal? Wait, why is it illegal?

What's the problem? >> Its design violates several key. regulations. >> Like what? >> Mainly it's flat back. >> Oh, flat back. >> You can use it. Then put something on. the back of it. Make it not a flat back. Just tape a piece of cardboard to it. >> I'll tell you what, that's why the. Saudis understood they could come into. Gulf and maybe get it. [laughter] Okay. You can't be banning [ __ ] like this. I'm. sick of it already. >> Did you see Brooks left live? >> Mhm. >> Now Bryson's saying he might be on his. way out.

>> Don't say that. >> Uhoh. >> I love my crushers gear. >> It's over. >> Who cares, dude? Cadillac Formula 1's. coming around the corner. >> Good point. >> Nope. We're not doing that. >> I. TGL will never sniff it. I know that. I'll tell you what, my TJL days might be. behind me. >> Oh no. >> I didn't like they went at three o'clock. on a Sunday.
