If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, let's go. >> This show [cheering] sticks and the fact. that you listen, we are very, very. thankful for. on the line with a. gorgeous assist. [music]. >> The alltime leading tackler for the.

Green Bay Packers. You pick. >> damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. >> Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to. our [music] humble abode, the. Thunderdome. on this massive. overreaction. Black Monday, January 5th, 2026. This program begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS MAGICAL and the NFL has.

wrapped up its regular season. Congratulations to the NFL. >> Congratulations. Ratings are up and to. the right. Obviously, football was. magical this year, but today is a day. that some guys and their families are. going to be told, "You're getting the. hell out of this town." There's some. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE BREAKING. NEWS. >> JONATHAN GANON HAS BEEN FIRED AS THE. Arizona Cardinals head coach. Arizona. closed this season with nine straight.

losses, ultimately costing Ganon his. job. Cardinals GM Monty also for will. spearhead the search for a new head. coach. Head coach fired, GM stays. What. do they do with Kyler Murray going. forward? Who knows? What do the. Cardinals look like going forward? Who. knows? But what we do know, Jonathan. Ganon has been fired today. That means. his entire coaching staff's been fired. All their families have been fired. They're going to have to pick up and. find a new. That is the life of a coach. We'd like to say, Jonathan Gon, good. luck wherever you go next. >> Good [applause] luck. Okay. >> Young lad, a lot of young lads on my.

coaching staff obviously not able to get. it figured out down there. Losing nine. straight is certainly something that. would chatter about a conversation about. being fired, but uh there's some other. teams who lose seven, eight straight, and that doesn't happen. Now, on that. note, there's already been a few coaches. fired today. There's already been a few. coaches fired this season and that takes. it up to six I do believe in total cuz. Dable was fired during the regular. season as was Brian Callahan. Raheem. Morris it was announced last night was. fired from the Atlanta Falcons. Kevin. Stfansky this morning fired from the.

Cleveland Browns. Felt like everybody. knew that was coming. Both Sher and Jay. Glazer yesterday were like Stfansky's. he'll be a HOT NAME ON THE MARKET. WHENEVER THAT'S KIND OF HOW they were. talking about him. And then Pete Carol. one and done at Las Vegas. All his other. assistants had been fired and that team. had been asked. So we assumed there was. a chance a one and done would be. happening for Pete Carol. It does. What. does Tom Brady and Al uh Mark Davis do. going forward? Hopefully they summon the. power of Al Davis and get it going. And. now Jonathan Ganon. That's six head. coaches who have been fired. That means. a lot of building having a lot of.

turnover. General manager is also being. talked about at this exact moment. Oh. yeah. And wild card weekends coming up. which follows college football. semi-final games. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Unreal. >> Yeah. >> Thursday, College Football Playoff. semi-final. >> What? >> Friday, College Football Playoff. semi-final. >> Saturday, two Super Wild Card games. >> Sunday, three super wild card games. >> And then Monday, one super wild card. football games. Whenever you talk about. it being a great time to be alive, we're. talking about right the [ __ ] now. Ladies.

and gentlemen, the NFL season's over, but it's just getting started. WHO WILL. CLIMB Lombardi Mountain, become a world. champion? who will try to find what they. have to do to become relevant in the. conversation of greatness in the. greatest league on earth. We shall see. the talks of tables here at Boston Conor. and at Tai Schmidt. Boys, good luck to. both your teams. >> Thank you very much, man. You too. >> Just in every and everything going. forward. Good luck. >> It's true. >> Parley Ers, uh, one of the big three. owners of the Indianapolis Colts will be. speaking at 2:30 Eastern time. I believe. she has a press conference. She's going.

to go over everything I assume that went. into deciding to keep Chris Ballard and. Shane Stike. And this news was broke. LESS THAN A MINUTE AFTER LOSING THEIR. SEVENTH, EIGHT STRAIGHT. >> YEAH. >> MHM. >> Tough finish. >> Quick thinkers. >> Eight and one. Hey, >> decisive. >> Hell of a start. >> Might have found their guy moving. forward. >> Okay. Riley Leonard is a guy. And since. he is a guy, what were we doing? I I. just assume Raleigh couldn't get the. snap off. I I assume Riley had no idea. what the offense was. We got to bring in. Phil Rivers. Riley had a little bit of a. bum knee. Okay, he was injured, so.

obviously we had to do something. But. then we bring in Phil Rivers. It's like, all right, this must mean Riley's not. ready for the MO. He is. Took on the. best defense in football. Had a couple. dimes. Went for 200 some plus. Had a. couple touchdowns. Running all over the. place. These Riley Leonard, our guy. going forward. Shane Stiken and Chris. Ballard will be the ones deciding. They. are the ones that drafted them and. developing just like they have for the. last nine years here in Indianapolis. with zero AFC South championships. Obviously, I'm a little bummed out. because the playoffs are a special time. If your team is in, you should feel. excited because any of these teams can.

win a Super Bowl. There's only a couple. teams that I think we all hold high and. above everybody else, but any given. Sunday, Saturday, or Friday, or. Thursday, whenever these wild card games. or playoff games happen, you could lose. This is truly up for grabs this year, and it's a special time to be a football. fan. And congrats to one half of the. hammer down Cowboys AP. >> Wow. Not only do you have to submit all your. AP votes for awards and such, but also. to Pittsburgh Steelers in a thriller on. Sunday Night Football against an arch.

rival. A game that was win and make the. playoffs and host a playoff game. >> and lose, go home and probably coach. gets fired. >> Yeah, >> that was kind of the conversation that. was happening between the Pittsburgh. Steelers and Baltimore Ravens last. night. And congratulations to the. Pittsburgh Steelers after a missed kick. That thing looked like a little. >> Whoa. might have been a little uh. >> divine intervention. >> in the name of. >> Yeah. >> Father Maximilia Maxwell. Okay. [clears throat] Y. >> from our source.

>> says. >> potentially subbing in for another. priest on this particular evening. >> Uhhuh. >> Was down there decided to go ahead and. throw a little bit of that holy water on. her. And then you tell me that ball just. right to the right like that. Tyler Loop. has been an incredible kicker for the. Baltimore Ravens all year. He is a rook. ass rook. So you don't know what he is. until the big moment comes. Well, in the. biggest moment against Pittsburgh. Steelers, hit it and you win. Miss it. and you lose in Pittsburgh and they. dance on your face. And maybe Aaron. Rogers, who knows what his future's. going to hold. He has another football. game. Mike Tomlin, who knows what his.

future's going to hold. Jake Glazer. mentioned something about TV. He's very. tight with Mike Tomlin. So maybe coach. Tomlin is thinking about TV after this. year. Maybe he's done with being a. coach. I don't know if you would be. pumped up about that or not, but I do. think it's something we need to keep in. mind as we watch this Pittsburgh. Steelers team go forward. Pittsburgh. Steelers win the AFC North. Their fans. obviously excited. Their record on. Monday nights, which is when their Super. Wildcard game will be as they host the. Houston Texans, like 23 and0 or. something going back all the way to uh. >> straight. >> going all the way back 91 maybe or.

something like that. >> Monday Night Football is the Pittsburgh. Steelers night. That's their super wild. card game. They got to Houston, Texas. So now all of a sudden this Pittsburgh. Steelers team with their fan base. calling for everybody to be fired and uh. got to tear it down just a few weeks. ago. Now they might not only win a. playoff game, but once you win one, who. who knows what can happen next, especially with Aaron Rogers playing the. way he's playing. If Cam Hayward is. going to continue to play that way on. defense, if TJ Watt's going to continue. to get back into it, are the Pittsburgh. Steelers going to win the Super Bowl? That's what it feels like on Super Wild. Card Week. And that is why I am very.

envious of all the teams that are in. there. Congrats to you, Tone, on an. electrifying, thrilling Sunday night. where you predicted it perfectly on what. the outcome was going to be. >> Amen, brother. Thank you very much. Um, first and for yeah, it started, the game. started with what, a 60-ard run by. Derrick Henry, and I was like, "All. right, all right. We're going to see. this again, but everyone hunkered down. Uh, >> they did hunker down. >> THEY DID HUNKER DOWN. >> YEAH. >> 103 going into half. Could have been. 10-10. Could have been 106. You tweeted. me about that decision. I liked Mike. Tomlin. the last few weeks has been a.

lot more aggressive. Uh I don't know if. it's cuz he said [ __ ] it or whatever, but he's been a lot more aggressive. which I like even though it didn't go. in, like the decision, hated the play. call. And then they dominated that. second quarter. The third quarter I. think the Ravens only had 20 yards or. something like that. Um and they had all. the momentum and then the fourth quarter. was just. >> pandemonium. >> Pandemonium is. >> this is kind of the NFL season in a. nutshell, especially the prime time. games. I mean, Lamar Jackson doing. classic Lamar Jackson stuff. TO Z. FLOWERS WHO GETS BEHIND Patrick Queen.

That's going to be a tough match up for. the middle linebackers who's going to. have to chase that. And then Kenneth. Gainwell gets into the paint and now. we're talking fourth quarter. Legendary. stuff here. Uh 1713 2017. Okay, it's. fourth quarter only 349. Not much left. can happen, right? Wrong. Lamar Jackson, ZAY FLOWERS WIDE ASS OPEN. Not going to. catch him. Holy hell. Lamar Jackson and. the Baltimore Ravens late in the fourth. quarter. Answer, respond, take the lead. THEY WIN THE AFC NORTH. WHAT A MOMENT.

FOR THE BALTIMORE RAVENS AND HARBAUGH. UH-UH. HEY, WHY DON'T YOU RUN A LITTLE. STICK AND GO BACK THERE? CALVIN AUSTIN. GETS IT RIGHT IN THE HANDS. They take. the lead late. Well, it's less THAN A. MINUTE. AARON ROGERS IS POINTING UP ON. HIS BROKEN WRIST THAT WE THOUGHT MAYBE. GO WRONG. THAT WAS GOING TO EXTRA point. to go up three. It's Chris Boswell. Literally one of the greatest of all. time. >> 40 in a row. 40 in a row extra points. >> Unbelievable that that thing goes right. Let's go to the kickoff then. Nothing. bad can happen. Remember now with the. new kickoff, you got to throw a strike.

They got a chance to go for it. And the. Baltimore Ravens, John Harbaugh came. from the special teams world. Good. special teams team. Not that the. Steelers aren't, but the Baltimore. RAVENS GET A BIG TIME RETURN. OH MY GOD, THEY'RE JUST ONE OR TWO PLAYS AWAY FROM. A GAME-WINNING field goal attempt. Well, gets down to fourth and seven. 20. seconds left. Uh, HOW LIKELY IS IT? VERY, WHAT A CATCH. FIRST DOWN. EXTEND. THE GAME. WE ARE IN FIELD GOAL RANGE. DO. YOUR DANCE. LIKELY DO YOUR DANCE NOW.

Tyler Loop, he's been good all year. Tyler Luke from 44. [cheering] Snap. Good. Hold it. The kick. is no good. It is wide right. And the. Steelers are the champions of the North. >> Sorry. Sorry, man. Sorry. >> Unbelievable stuff last night. So. thrilling late night and uh for those. that fell asleep and woke up and saw the. final score, you could have never. expected what the real chaos was. Two.

miss kicks within 35 seconds of real. time and game time. And then the. Steelers getting the AFC North and now. their fans thinking maybe, >> yeah, >> maybe we do win the Super Bowl. Maybe we. are A TEAM OF DESTINY. MAYBE FATHER. MAXIMLEIAN MAXWELL GO AHEAD and drains. all the holy water on AAR field and. blesses the Pittsburgh Steelers not only. with the north but maybe a run that'll. be talked about as the race for seven in. Pittsburgh is seemingly all the way back. on. Congrats on a huge win. I know the.

Yinser stuck around that pop when that. ball missed. >> Oh man, >> I mean that that's 11:00 and 11:30 at. night there. That's late night in P in. everywhere basically. Not a seat was. empty. Not an energy was lacked. The. entire place exploded. All rowing in the. same direction. Let's go win this thing. I don't know what John 3:16 says. >> Neither do I. >> It says he's gonna miss it wide right. >> But I do know it felt like a little. divine intervention. Maybe this is a. team of destiny. >> Maybe the Pittsburgh Steelers are.

brothers in Christ. So, who knows? >> Is that what you're saying now or all. all the time? >> All the time. >> Okay. Well, God bless you. >> Ordered a Bible last night. >> Shout out. John 3:16 is the first place. you're headed. order to spend a day like. a you get a a excerpt from the Bible. every day. A day with Jesus I think it's. called or something. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Your daily verse. >> Our father Lord in heaven. >> Hallowed be thy name. >> Yeah. >> Thy kingdom come. Th. >> playoff will be fun. >> on earth.

>> as it is in heaven. Yeah. It certainly. is. Yeah. Amen. We all lived it. Congrats to you guys. What a thrilling. way to end it. and the internet was. calling for you to potentially show up. and bless us uh with your takes and you. certainly have. Shout out to the. Steelers getting a huge win and that's. good. >> I mean that's a 40ome yard field goal. This has been the year of kickers making. kicks. >> Yeah. >> And for that to be a miss and for the. Steelers to go on, let's get a nine-year. NFL vet Darius J. Butler. Steelers all. of a sudden go from well the fans at. least go from get rid of everybody to. now. >> Mhm.

>> Wait a minute. That ball did miss, didn't it? Yeah, it did. Maybe we can go. on run. Cam Hayward played his best. football we've seen. >> Dominated. >> TJ Watt was back. >> Interception. >> Aaron Rogers breaking things down. Colin. plays in a huddle yet again. The. touchdown. Calvin Austin allegedly uh. from the way Aaron Rogers broke it down. like this. >> Calvin's the sweetest guy. He is. I have. such a love and appreciation for for Cal. and his disposition. >> And multiple times in the huddle I'm. asking him on various plays, what do you. want on the backside? What do you want.

on the backside? >> And he he wouldn't give me a straight. answer. And on this on this particular. huddle conversation, I said, 'What do. you want, Cal? He said, I and somebody. to my right, I don't know if it was. McCormack or or Pat said something about. like, man, just go cook them or. something. So, I said, all right, Cal, you run the hitch and go back there. >> And he did. He did cook them. Guy ends. up on all fours. They score a touchdown. Obviously, that ends up being the. winner. But, Deb, whenever you think. about this Steelers uh team in this type. of game, what can it do for them going.

into the playoffs? Should we be. considering the Steelers a Super Bowl. threat or should we be talking about. everybody that makes it as a Super Bowl. threat? >> I mean, look, it's only it's only 14. teams in the dance. Once you get in the. dance, obviously anyone can go on a run, especially with the landscape that is. right now with the teams, the. quarterbacks, the coaches. Only two. teams right now, I think, as a head. coach, quarterback combination have went. there and done it and won it all. I. think that's Jaylen Herz, Nick Serriani, and Philly. And then Sean McVey, Matt. Stafford, and the Rams uh together as a. unit. So, it's wide open on both sides.

So absolutely you can look at this. Steelers team if you are a Steelers fan. especially and say this team can go on. the run and then after these two games. that DK's been out you get your biggest. weapon back on offense with some fresh. legs in the playoffs. So yeah, you. should feel great. Obviously you know. what happened in the fourth quarter. defensively. You know Lamar Jackson, we. mentioned him earlier. He was six for. eight, 172, two touchdowns in the fourth. quarter. You had some uh blown coverages. on the back end but you know you found a. way to get it done. Um, I I definitely.

have some questions about what was going. on uh on the field with uh what was his. name? Maximleian. Maxim. John 6 3:16 uh for God so loved the. world he gave his only begotten son that. those believe in him shall not perish. but have everlasting life. That's the. verse. But this right here I did have to. ask. So I look I love Jesus. >> John 3:16 is kind of the story of the. Bible. It appears. >> Oh yeah. That's Yeah. That's that's a. that's one of the very popular vers. Mount Rushmore verse. John 3:16, it. sounds like it is the Russian uh verse.

For God so loved the world that he gave. his only son that whoever believes in. him should not perish but have eternal. life. Okay, so that's like kind of the. entire religion, right? That John 3:16. guy, he was at every event. Remember. that was like kind of Is this a new John. 3:16 sign guy? >> I don't know. >> Look like a little better handwriting. >> I'm only familiar with the Austin 3:16. verse, but. >> why you have your John 3:16? Austin 3:16. says, "I just kicked your ass." Now, on. that note, uh John 3:16 and Father. Maxmillian Maxwell potentially working.

for the Pittsburgh Steelers last night. If God was to continue to work for the. Pittsburgh Steelers, what an incredible. story this would be honestly in and this. includes if Tomlin was to move on. Like. if Tomlin is seriously considering. television, which Jay Glazer once again, we got a. >> very tight with Tomlin like very very. very tight with coach Tomlin. They are. very tight. So yesterday when he's. standing in front of a 45 foot screen. >> Yeah, correct. Did you see Jay in front. of that screen? Oh yeah. >> And then did you see the boys with their. view of him? >> Yeah. >> That was awesome. That was it was. incredible kind of watching him stand at.

the back with that big screen behind. him. But whenever he goes uh you know. hardball like I don't know if he's going. to get fired but certainly would have to. make decision conversation. He's. certainly bigger. Uh coach Tomlin maybe. he moves into TV. That'll be something. It's like oh Jake Glazer saying that. mean something. I I think Tomlin's. actually thinking about it. Maybe he's. sick of the entire. >> just being above 500 as well. Like maybe. he's like listen I try my ass on. >> I'm not buying You think he's football? >> I trust Jay and his relationship, but. every time we've heard Mike Tomlin. speak, whether it's been a college job. or retiring, he's like, "Hey, I'm the.

head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.". Like, it's not a better job in the world. when it comes to sports. So, I believe. him. I take him at his word. And and. every time we see him, whether it's a. postgame conference or talking to the. media or talking to his team, we've. we've talked to some of the players. there. Uh he still has that same fire. He still shows up. He always hits us. with a new oneliner. I'm sure he has he. had the guys ready to play for sure uh. last night, man. And we had a lot of. talks and rumblings about, you know, Cam. Hayward definitely coming into this. season wanting a new contract. What is.

this fifth year 15 or 16 for him now? >> He's the third longest tenure or second. longest tenure steeler. >> It was him, >> Ben Rothosberger's number one. >> Yeah, he is the So Cam is now the number. one non-quarterback. >> Mike Webster, I think. >> Yes, Mike Webster and then Cam. And then. Cam passed him this season, I believe. >> Okay. So it's Ben, then it's Cam, then. it's Mike Webster. >> Okay, got it. So when you're talking. about Steeler and then his dad, Iron. Head, obviously for the Steelers. So. whenever he was asking for a contract. Yeah. before the year, all the goodwill. that Cam Hayward has done in Pittsburgh,

his family has done in pit. We're. talking generations of goodness to. Pittsburgh, this Hayward family has. done. This past offseason whenever he. was looking for a new contract, he had. to like kind of hold out kind of. It was. like an uncomfortable situation. Yzers. were like, "Hey old man, oh jeez, GO OUT. THERE AND PLAY. [laughter]. YOU'VE ALREADY MADE IT LEGIT. THERE WAS. A LOT OF THAT FROM the interest. And. I'll tell you what, Cam Hayward did go. out there. He just put together one. another. Last year was all pro. This. year seemingly all pro. Last night he. decided to take the game over seemingly. for different parts of it. He was a. tight end on the field goal on the rush.

side, not on the back side. So on the. rush side as if we're kicking on the. right hash, probably going to bring the. rush from the left side. Cam Hayward is. right in the middle of that rush. Okay. On the left side of this entire thing. Then he's also pushing his brother into. the end zone for uh the tush push. And. then on the defensive line, he's. jousting every single play right in the. middle of everything. It's like Cam. Hayward decided last night and I'm not. just saying last night, but clearly last. night because he was doing even doing a. little talking, you know, his giant. giant body. It's like if he can continue. to get wreck games, it's like why not.

the Pittsburgh Steelers. On that note, >> it's time to get to our top five. Top. five top five. Top five headlines coming. out of the end of the NFL season. Let's. start with number five. This is driven. by Ram. And you know, anytime you drive. a Ram, you're gonna think to yourself, "Wow, this thing's got a lot of power.". So, hell, this thing's so comfortable. Wow, this thing's so easy to use. Oh, look at all the space I got. And then. whenever you hit that gas pedal, it's. going to sound like. And that's going to be that power. You. know, I believe the Hemi is coming back. But I also know that the Ram truck, even. if it doesn't have a Hemi, has got a.

stronger engine than you. Let's get to. the top five. Number five, we're dancing. Okay, this is what we've. been waiting for. Super Wild Car Weekend. is officially locked. It is Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of magical NFL. football. Now, throughout the season, you think to yourself, who's going to. get the one seat? Who's going to get the. two seat? Who's going to get homefield. advantage? Are we going to make it? Are. we not going to make it? There's teams. in a bubble. We need this to happen. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield had. a long day. >> Yeah, he did, man. >> Nice house. >> Mhm. >> Real nice house. >> Looked like getting some work done, too.

>> Yeah. Him sitting up on that island. >> He's bumped out. >> That's a good house. Great house. >> HEY, YOU EARNED THAT BIG. YOU EARNED. THAT B IS A WALK-ON I THINK AT ONE. POINT. >> YEAH, he was. >> Banger was a walk-on at one point. >> What a story. >> Yeah. What a what a story. What? Literally Instagram story and uh. metaphorically Baker Mayfield story as a. whole. He's watching along seeing how. people are doing. Everybody's waiting. for something. Now we got it officially. locked. 14 teams make it on Saturday. Rams take on the Panthers. Rams favored.

by 10 and a half on DraftKings. >> Just five weeks ago, >> the Panthers beat the Rams. People will. forget about that. Panthers hosting. playoff game. Congrats Carolina. >> Congrats. >> Congrats Carolina. >> Had to have something happen for them. obviously in the other game that was. happening in the NFC South between the. the Saints and the uh Falcons. >> And uh congrats on them getting that. done. But they they have 61% of the. public bets strictly because they're. getting 10 and a half. They just beat. them five weeks ago. This Carolina.

Panthers team, I think, could be stingy. they could come up and uh get you. Or. what the books are expecting, DraftKings. expecting is Matthew Stafford in the. playoffs. Now, this is whenever all the. stars come out. You know, people say the. biggest games create the biggest players. and the biggest moments. That's why. they're called the big players. Well, there's a chance that some of these. stars are either coming out of the dirt. or some of these stars are already there. and they're going to go on a run. Matthew Stafford, Puka Aua, and the boys. over there in LA, they're in the big. lights all the time. Is this whenever. they play their best or is this the. Carolina Panthers finally coming out and. saying, "We're for real." Now, a lot of.

people are going to be pissed that. Panthers are hosting a playoff game. Their record is ass compared to a lot of. other people that have gotten into the. playoffs, but this Carolina Panthers. team can beat anybody. And on that note, this Rams team could beat anybody last. year in the playoffs. Will they be able. to do that again? And Matthew Stafford. is going to win the MVP, it appears, after a four touchdown day, Debb. >> Yeah, Stafford has had a phenomenal year. from wire to wire. And I mentioned it. earlier, you know, if you're going into. this playoff run with a head coach. quarterback combination, you probably. feel most comfortable either the Rams or. the Eagles. But yeah, on the road at the. Panthers, team you lost against had Mike.

Jackson had a pick six in that game. It. was some weather, some other things. going on. Panthers a good team. Good. defenders for sure. I think this would. be a great matchup. 10 and a half is a. lot of points, especially on the road. >> Packers Bears, you guys split during the. regular season. >> That is correct. >> How do you feel going into the playoffs? I saw Jordan Love not playing, saw Caleb. doing his thing over the weekend. Your. thoughts? >> Uh, I as a Packers fan, I actually feel. very good. Like you said, Packers are. limping into the playoffs worse than. probably any other team in the uh like. the entire playoff field. And you know,

they they didn't they didn't play. anybody yesterday, so you worry, hey, are they going to be rusty coming in? But Chicago did play everybody like they. haven't been sitting anybody at all. And. they didn't look great yesterday. Yeah, exactly. Against the Lions. So, and. again, it's a lot of those guys for the. Bears. Like this is the this is the. first time they've went to the playoffs. Like the Packers team is young, but. they're experienced. like they've been. to the playoffs before and for them like. they know each other very well. So yeah, as a as a Packers fan just like Bears. fans are probably confident. I'm very. confident. >> I like that we get an NFC North as a.

rivalry game right there on Saturday. night a super wild card weekend and then. oh yeah, we go to bed, wake up, have a. little breakfast, talk to the fam, maybe. go talk to God, and then all of a sudden. the Buffalo Bills are down in Duvall. against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Bills. favored by one and a half. I'll tell you. what, we'll talk about it here in a. moment. I feel for those Bills fans what. they're going through right now with the. We'll talk about it in a little bit. Okay. >> They're going through it this weekend. They say goodbye to an old friend. >> That's right. >> It's always tough. >> It is. But it might not be goodbye cuz.

there is a chance technically that it. could have another game. But. nonetheless, Bill's taking on the Jags. I think the Jags said goodbye to an old. friend as well. And that friend was one. that was dragging them down. >> The friend that they are currently. friends with is one that is uh. prosperous. Oh yeah. The Jacksonville. Jaguars are a great football team. Yeah. >> The Jacksonville Jaguars getting off the. bus. look like a great football team. When you talk about having the speed, the explosive, the power, everything you. could possibly need to win a playoff. game, Jacksonville Jaguars have it. Then. you talk about offense. Do they have. enough to be able to keep up with Josh. Allen? I don't know if anybody does. Josh Allen is Josh Allen. Trevor.

Lawrence playing his best ball. Liam. Cohen seeing it better than anybody. I. watch Liam Cohen like a [ __ ] college. football coach scream out after the. 15-second uh play clock thing goes out. TO THE THING, "HEY, THIS GUY [screaming]. GONNA BE WIDE ASS OPEN." OUR TEAM COULD. hear him. Didn't matter. FIRST DOWN. HEY, THAT GUY GONNA BE WIDE ASS OPEN. TREVOR, YOU GOT IT. HEY, first down, wide ass open. Liam seemingly a super. genius and the way they've been able to. rebuild that in such a quick amount of. time without the two the second overall. pick. I don't know if as many people.

have respect for the Jacksonville. Jaguars, as they should, but I'll tell. you, beating the Buffalo Bills super. wild card weekend to kick off Sunday. would be a great way to say hello to the. world. Debbie, >> this is a great great match up. I mean, I love all these matchup. This is a big. time matchup. You talk about not having. the respect. I guess uh leaguewide from. like the casual fans. I think if you've. been paying attention to football this. season, you have to respect them at. this. But yeah, Trevor Lawrence, we. always start with the quarterback. His. turnaround since Liam got there is is. unbelievable. And it'll be a close close. race for coach of the year. Liam will.

probably get my vote because of what he. did with Trevor Lawrence. in that team, you know, having camp uh Anthony. Campanelli on the defensive side of. believe they're tied with the Bears as. far as takeaways, but their numbers up. and down defensively are better than the. Bears. So, they definitely have a chance. at home against Josh Allen, who. everybody's going to look at us, if you. don't get it done this year, Josh, they. don't want to hear it. >> On that note, Patch Mahomes not in, Joey. Burrow not in, Lamar Jackson not in. So, is this the year Josh Allen goes on a. run? New England obviously back in a big. way in the AFC East. Con, you've been.

saying the Bills window has been closed. for like five years. You you were saying. it as a New England Patriots fan, but it. does feel like this year would be the. year it be wide ass open, but they have. some things on their roster that the. Jacksonville Jaguars can certainly take. advantage of, Con. >> Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, it will. be a Josh Allen or bus type of playoffs. You know, it's kind of been that way for. the entire season. He's been carrying. them. Can he carry them in the playoffs? I think we all believe that. He's done. it for multiple multiple massive games. And then for the Jags, it's the kind of.

the opposite. Last time they hosted a. playoff game was against the Chargers at. home and they ended up squeezing it out. We'll see if they can do it again. >> Yeah, if you look at these quarterbacks. that are in the dance right now, I. believe Josh Allen is second with all. time playoff wins behind obviously Aaron. Rogers. So, yeah, I I trust 17 in the. playoffs. >> Hey, Trevor Lawrence has had one of the. craziest playoff experiences of all. time. We all watch that live. I think he. threw four picks in the first half, came. back and one in the second half. It's. like, will he be able to do that again? I don't know. Against Josh Allen, but we.

shall see. San Francisco 49ers taking on. the Eagles. Interesting move by the. Eagles. Coach Sirion came out and said, it's my decision. It's what I think. Yeah, we disagree. Obviously, there's. going to be differing opinions. He said, I like my guys to be healthy and fresh. going into the playoffs. They could have. got the number two overall seed if they. really went for it and said they chose. to rest. So, now the Eagles lock in at. three. They're hosting the San Francisco. 49ers who lose to the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle Seahawks might be. >> Hey, >> that's a good football team. That is. good football. Good football team.

>> Hey. >> Mhm. >> They're not a part of Super Wild Card. Week and still in it. Yeah, great. football team. Uh, congrats to them and. to the Denver Broncos, by the way. Number one seeds across the board, but. Niners Eagles. Any quick thoughts on how. this one should play out? >> I mean, they kind of had bad blood. previously from the last time that the. uh Eagles went to the Super Bowl. Like, so I don't know if this is like a. budding rivalry, but it's tough because. we were talking about the NerS, you. know, being the one of the hottest teams. in the NFL going into this. I think the. Eagles are the one team though who like. we've kind of just packed them in. Like.

I I would not be surprised at all if the. Eagles start to play their best football. when the playoffs start and I think. they're still as likely as any team in. the NFC to go to the Super Bowl. >> 80% of the bets sitting on the San. Francisco 49ers plus three and a half. What's that mean, Tone? I I think it's. just because like the talk all season. long is how bad the Eagles have looked. even though they are what they are and. the offense has not looked great and. then they don't look great yesterday. against the Commanders. I San Francisco. obviously didn't look great against the. uh against the Seahawks on Saturday. night, but they had been on a run with.

Brock party where the offense had looked. really really good. So I think it's just. like a recency bias thing in this. situation. >> How about Sam Darnold though just. quickly? I don't want to move past it. too much because we need to give him. some credit. some of the biggest. moments. He made the biggest plays and. they were completions. >> to his own team. >> That's right. >> Yep. >> That needs to be talked about. Yeah. >> Congrats, Sam. [applause]. >> Congrats, Sam. >> 14 wins back toback years. >> Is Jaylen going to be first guy ever? >> Tom Brady. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Pretty good. >> Pretty good. And I would like to say get.

it off. Get the monkey off of his back. He did it to get the number one overall. seed in a big moment. Made it. Now, they. ran the ball very well. And obviously. the way they scripted that entire thing. was very uh beneficial to a quarterback. as it should be. Maybe others should. have done that in the past, but whenever. he needed to make a couple, I mean, he. made a couple. Good for Sam Darnold. doing his thing. And congrats to the. Seattle Seahawks. If Jaylen Herz can. play as well as Sam Darnold can play. against that Niners defense, the Eagles. move on in my eyes. >> See, that's a big if. I I've seen Jaylen. Herz do it on this stage multiple times,

multiple years, couple Super Bowls. I've. seen Sirriani and I've damn sure seen. that defense who have been playing well. kind of take it to another level. So I. feel very confident about my. Philadelphia Eagles in this matchup. Brock Pury coming off being held to. three points after that hot run before. running into that Seahawks defense kind. of concerns me as well. And coach BA sat. here a few weeks ago and talked about. Brock Pury in these outdoor kind of late. uh season environments. I don't know. what the weather will be in Philly on. Sunday but uh for all those things I.

feel very confident with the Eagles. >> Okay. And then Chargers Patriots wrap up. Saturday Night Football. I cannot wait. for this one. Now, the Chargers. basically chose to be the number seven. seed. Rested their players. Could have. stole a win and not been this seed take. on the Patriots. Now, New England can. obviously utilize that. I will say this, following this Patriots team for the. last three years has been a blast with. this guy. >> Okay. Alongside Connor Campbell, >> Boston Connor is a Patriots die hard. I. think there is no faking that. I think.

that is his life. I think we have. experienced it. There was times where we. thought maybe his team was going to. stink for the rest of his life and that. he was just going to have to try to. relive the memories of when he was just. a boy in the New England Patriots for. good. This man was going to parades over. the span of his first 20 years of his. existence. Then all of a sudden, maybe. it never happens again. He's going to. have to tell his little baby boy and. baby girl and maybe even grandbaby. >> Yeah. >> And grandb babies grandb babies. See, there was a time when the Patriots ran. this whole damn thing. There was a. thought that that was going to take. place for all Patriots fans everywhere.

Conor Campbell more specifically, but. instead somehow the Tennessee Titans, good luck to whoever gets hired there. >> I'm sure it's going to go great. >> Mhm. >> Yikes. >> They kick [clears throat] him out the. door. He sits in Cleveland for a year. and somehow, lo and behold, the team. that he played for, the team that he. loves, the team that he's in the Hall of. Fame for, the team that he's in the Ring. of Honor with, he has an opening all of. a sudden because they fire a coach after. one year, one and done. just like Pete. Carol had. He comes in there, flips the.

entire thing, and oh yeah, they got an. MVP candidate in his second year at the. age of 23. And the offensive. coordinator, yeah, he's been a head. coach before. It sucks. He don't like. it. He He just wants to be a. coordinator. This Patriots team's back. in a big way. And Saturday night's the. chance to really say it for real. Has. Drake been able to do it in the. playoffs? Has Drake been able to do it. in the playoffs? That's the question we. find out Saturday night against this. What's that? >> Sunday night. >> Sunday. I'm so sorry. So sorry. I said. it multiple times. Sorry. Let me get. jacked up. Sunday night. I apologize. >> They feel like Saturday. >> Yeah. Well, every day feels like. Saturday right now, bro. Uh, Sunday.

night, Chargers and Patriots, but the. Chargers team, hit or miss, feels like. We've seen them play very good. >> Mhm. >> We've seen him not play so good. Who. shows up against the New England. Patriots? I guess we find out. You have. to feel great to be in the dance with a. real shot at this thing. >> Yeah. I feel incredible. I mean, you go. from three and 14 or sorry, four and 13. to, you know, 14 and three over the span. of one year. That that's going to get. your juices flowing. You're going to be. bricked up no matter what. What really. gets me, you know, going is the fact. that last time the Patriots won the. Super Bowl was 2018. Who do they play in.

that first round? The LA Chargers and I. believe they were LA. I don't even think. they were San Diego yet. Phil Rivers. flew all the way over. Well, another. kicker there, too. Who led the Patriots. on that little bit of a run? Sony. Michelle, rookie running back. So, we. kind of have rookie running back right. now, Trevion Henderson. There's a lot of. parallels between the two. In reality, I. think what you mentioned is going to be. a huge message. Hey, the Chargers could. have easily been the six seed. They. chose to bench everybody, not play. anybody, have a little mini bye-week. They chose to kind of move down to that. seven se seed in order to come and play.

you guys. Now, maybe they didn't want to. go to Jacksonville again because they. did blow a 28 nothing lead in. Jacksonville. So, they said, "Hey, we. can't go there anymore. Not doing that. Let's go to Foxboro playable boys." I. feel fantastic. I think the uh MVP. fodder will be awesome this week as well. up until, you know, basically until the. Super Bowl, February 5th when it gets. announced. But that will be a motivator. Everyone getting healthy for the. Patriots this past week. I mean, we just. beat the absolute dog [ __ ] out of the. Miami Dolphins with Milton Williams. coming back, highest paid player on the.

team. Will Campbell coming back leading. the way on multiple rushing touchdowns. Effan Chisum the third superstar kind of. budding for the New England Patriots. And Stefon Diggs getting a thousand yard. receiving again after kind of going. through a little bit of an ACL and some. other things. But it does feel as though. the Patriots are rolling in all. directions. It is a great feeling to be. back on the biggest stage and hosting. playoff games. I mean, we're talking. about a chance where they're hosting. two, maybe three playoff games on their. way to a Super Bowl. I mean, it's.

remarkable that you can flip a team in a. culture like this. And you mentioned it, you know, on a day like today, Black. Monday, where coaches and GMs are. getting fired. Just keep in mind, look. at look to the New England Patriots. Look to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Look. to these teams Chicago Bears that that. were absolute shite and in one year. flipped it. I mean, we're we're talking. about teams that can legitimately go and. win the Super Bowl because of a few. changes. >> And Vable, I think we all thought was. going to be great coach. Uh knew he was. going to be a great coach. Ben Johnson. all knew he was going to be a great. coach, right? It felt like everybody.

thought he was going to be a great. coach. Liam Cohen came out of nowhere. That was a late hire. Nobody really. knew. Remember, he wasn't even going to. be able to put together a staff. allegedly they were trying to slander. his name pretty good and they did the. Duval game. It was hard not to talk a. lot of [ __ ] about that, but then you see. what they're able to do. It's like if. you find a good leader, there is a. chance you can flip an entire culture. These are all NFL players. If you're. able to rally an entire building in the. same direction, you're able to get into. the dance and obviously Ryan and Cacerio. have been able to do that down in. Houston multiple times. CJ Strad might. be playing his best ball and then they.

play against Pittsburgh Steelers at home. on Monday night. Steelers obviously. impossible to beat on Monday Night. Football. Okay. Is that change whenever. it's the playoffs? And does that matter? How does that matter? How is that a real. thing? I genuinely want to know that. >> Uh I mean, I don't think it matters. I. think, you know, every every game is its. own game. We obviously been in those. buildings. We have those stats, whether. it's, hey, we start slow as a team or. prime time or whatever it is, but the. game is going to be the game. Uh once. again, another great matchup. I can't.

wait to see this Houston Texans defense. on prime time. That defense again. You. mentioned, you mentioned CJ St playing. some good ball as well. So, yeah, it's. going to be another banger. I mean, this. whole slate, man. I mean, you couldn't. really, >> you couldn't ask for a better slate. >> Fantastic. >> That's That's why Super Wildard weekend. has become mustwatch. Maybe best weekend. of ball that there is uh all year. Obviously, Super Bowl weekend's sweet. There's only one game. Championship. weekend's sweet because there's so much. on the line. Divisional rounds, cool. The fact that we get two, three, and one.

here of all meaningful football with. great football teams. >> Mhm. It's beautiful. It's. >> so beautiful. >> College football playoffs right before. it. >> So, >> we got to enjoy this, boys. >> It's a dream. >> We got to enjoy this time. >> Let's close our eyes. >> I don't even feel like I deserve it. [sighs]. >> Every once in a while, you got to do. that. >> Hell yeah. >> Just kind of take it in. We're here. >> Let's go. Number four headline coming. out of the NFL season. Goodbye to the. Ralph.

I guess since 2021, it's been called. High Mark Stadium. Uh, Blue Cross Blue. Shield. The new stadium will be Highark. Stadium right across the way. This has. been the home of the Buffalo Bills since. 1973. >> Wow. >> All the documentaries and stories that. you hear about the Buffalo Bills come. from the Ralph. I was very lucky that I. got a chance during my career to play at. Lambo. I got a chance to play at. Candlestick. I got a chance to play at. that one place out there in Oakland. What's the name of. >> Colosseum? I got I got a chance to play. in a lot. Yeah, the Black Hole. I got a.

chance to play in a lot of places that. are football movies. Playing in the. Ralph my rookie year in the middle of a. blizzard felt like I was in the middle. of a football movie. Places obviously. very special. I had a lot on the line. that game although all my teammates did. not. It was very fascinating. We were. attempting to lose that game. Try to uh. it was the end of our undefeated season. that we had for me. I had to have a. couple inside 20 had to average over. something to get a million dollar. escalator which is obviously the most. amount of money that I could ever fathom. in my life. So it was a joy to be there. obviously thankful for everything the.

Buffalo Bills people have done for. football as a whole. You're talking. about a passionate, loyal uh I don't. even know. if there's any other place that has gone. through what fans have gone through to. remain the fans. Let alone the four. falls. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Heartbreak after heartbreak after. heartbreak kind of happening with the. Ravens right now, just not at the Super. Bowl level. That was all at the Super. Bowl level. for the Ravens to end a. season the last four years is just. heartbreak. Heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak, heartbreak. But whenever you. talk about the Bills, the weather,

digging out your own seats, >> y. >> having to get to this place in the back. of tractors and then what they do every. single time they show up is be the best. fan base that you could have. It's like. uh congrats to Buffalo, congrats to the. Ralph on a hell of a run. And the scenes. coming out after the game here, this. from Jason McCordy, he was calling the. game where nobody left and they just. relive some of the greatest moments of. the Ralph. Now, some people I assume are. very tuned up and blacked out at this. moment and will not remember this other. than some of the pictures hopefully. people have of them out there. But it's.

like this is special fan base, special. place, and obviously their next stadium. is going to be awesome with big ass. Bison out front. But I like whenever. people get emotional about something and. they certainly did about the Ralph. I. think that's a beautiful thing. >> Yeah, it just shows you how much you. know football means to the people of. Buffalo and just fans in general. Like. in that Salacio tweet, I mean there's a. security lady who's been there for 32. years. That is so long just to be at one. place in general, let alone work at one. place like that. That's remarkable. But. also to keep in mind for the people of.

Buffalo, these new stadiums are. remarkable. THEY THEY [laughter] ARE SO. NICE. YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT. OKAY. AFTER YOU GET OVER THIS, AFTER you get. over this heartbreak and hopefully the. people are there got to yank something. out of that stadium to keep forever in. their basement. >> Might have another game in there. >> Yeah, might have another game there. Still host the Chargers in the AFC. Championship. But you're going to love. this new High Mark Stadium. It's going. to be gorgeous. >> Yeah, it was a perfect night. Cold as. hell. Obviously, a great way to send. off. I I I wish there was a little bit. more snow in there, you know, so you can. feel it. And once I read Sal Kapacio's.

tweet, I completely forgot like, oh, it. is going to be an emotional day, especially for Sal Kapacio. >> Yeah, especially for S. >> Especially for S. But there's a lot of. SS up there in Buffalo. That's. >> Buffaloians, brother. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. There's a lot of good. Buffaloonians up there. And it reminded. me of whenever I was a child. >> and they tore down the igloo. >> They did this downtown Pittsburgh. They. tore down the igloo and I'll tell you. what, I was uh I was bummed out. alongside everybody else. This is the. home of the Pittsburgh Penguins and they. just went ahead and just took that thing. down. They showed it across the entire.

city whenever they started. Now you'll. see there's four different winners that. came and went while these things were. being tearing. That's not how I remember. it in my head at all. I think I had a. little Mandela effect in my head. They. imploded that thing. >> and we all got out of school for it. That's how my head remembered it and. then we got to send it in there. Turns. out they took their sweet ass time. Somebody had a good contract on this. thing. Yeah. And they go they went ahead. and say, "Yeah, we're going to need. another 12 months or so. We're gonna. need another 12 months or so." Whatever. the case, the city of Pittsburgh was.

very emotional whenever this went down. Three Rivers, same exact thing. Very. emotional. It's like the Ralph. I can. understand it. I appreciate it. And we. had one this weekend, Tone. >> Yeah, we did. And it's like I remember. waking up and watching the implosion of. Three Rivers Stadium. It was like. everyone was down there. It was like It. was It was something. [snorts] And I. remember uh when we were growing up, a. kid in your grade actually had a stadium. seats from Three Rivers uh in his. basement. It was awesome. >> Shout out Josh War. >> Thank you. Yep. You knew like that was. like something that happened. I'm sure. that was something that happened in. Buffalo yesterday. Um it's just like so.

many memories in that place and like. when you think about something, you. think about these stadiums like it's not. just the like like the football, but. like you go there with family like it's. a family tradition and the tailgates and. everything like that. It's an emotional. day for sure. >> Yeah. I'll tell you what, the reason why. I knew was Josh Waluts is he had a. couple ping pong tournaments in that. basement. >> Boom. Get a game winner. Pretty. exhausted. Sit down at Three Rivers. right next to. Yeah. The amount of [ __ ] being talked. too at that entire thing. Josh Ron a. great dude. Great family. And also his. dad loved collecting that type of stuff.

Shouts too. >> Yeah. Shout outs to it. Wasn't just I. mean he had I think you'd probably find. a piece of Mario Muse hair down here. [laughter] if you really had to. Uh good. people, good times. Nothing stops Ram. Bam. Best truck. down the line. Let's go to the number. three headline. Miles Gar Moraliz. Congrats, Miles. >> Thought I was going to get this a couple. weeks earlier. Obviously, he was on a a. wrecking path to kind of make this. happen. He He's been all over the field. and we know of Miles Garrett's greatness. strictly because we've gotten a chance.

to witness it. It is a shame though, much like Joe Thomas, the teams he has. played on for the Cleveland Browns have. been asked whenever you're a GOAT. Now, they paid him 40 million a year, reset. the entire market because they. understand his greatness. He at one. point was worried that he didn't win. enough games and he wanted to win more. games. He's not worried about getting. into the Hall of Fame. Now, he signs on. to be a Cleveland Brown pillar in his. first year post brand new contract in. which he resets the entire market. He. breaks the sack record. Now, it did take. 17 games as opposed to 16 games. Heard. Michael Strahan talk about that. I think.

that's a very real argument that's going. to happen as football continues to go. Adam Venitaryi, all-time leader in. points, 16 game season. I think at some. point somebody's gonna come with these. extra games and potentially catch him. Nonetheless, very impressive. Very. pumped. And uh Straan might come up to. Joe Burrow someday. >> No, >> they say he screwed me. >> Oh yeah, [laughter]. >> you screwed me. I think he was going to. get him regardless. I think Joe knew. that. But people are saying Joe, he laid. down for. >> I mean, yeah, I understand it. Uh I Joe, we've all seen what Joe has been through.

healthwise and getting to the last game. of the season. He probably saw 95. getting off the ball from his periff and. knew he probably had no chance of. getting out of there. But but this was. awesome. This was cool. His dad been in. the crowd, you know, with this camera. and he looked like he got emotional. I. don't even know if he had a chance to. get a picture because he was so jacked. up once he finally got the sack in 17. games. That'll be a conversation, but. then there will be other people that say. this amount of snaps and all the stats. that we have now around it. But we've. all watched Mobs Gear and he has been. one of, if not the most dominant.

defender in his generation. Uh, you. know, from wide to wire, from coming. into the league as a number one overall. pick. He's lived up to all the stuff. Man, he's just an unbelievable player. Great person for that city. Hopefully, they can build a winner around him. Uh, but he's a great pillar to build around. >> Hopefully, they're able to. Honestly, there's a lot of change happening in. Cleveland as we speak. Who knows what. the next iteration looks like. Mark Gino. had a hell of a run. Okay. New York sack. exchange. Doug Martin did his thing. Obviously, Strahan comes in and TJ Watt. and then Miles Garrett. Congratulations.

to all these dudes for being incredible. on a football field. Gastner, you're. ahead of your time, dude. >> Yeah, he was back to bats here. >> One of the go. >> ahead of your time, dude. Let's go to. the number two headline coming out of. the NFL season, shall we? >> Yeah. The only thing with that Miles. Garrett thing, >> okay, >> just just for Zack Taylor to go up there. after the game and say, "We're fighting. for our freaking lives." Dude, no one's. watching [laughter] this game. No one's. watching this game unless you're. watching it. >> What are you talking about? Well, the. whole entire thing, you know, he was. pretty upset and Jamar Chase mentioned.

as well, I don't think he was upset as. Zack Taylor was. You know, they kind of. stopped the game for Miles Garrett to. celebrate and enjoy this historic moment. that may never happen again. Now, granted, like you said, 17 games. eventually, maybe the season goes 18. >> Still got it. Not his fault. I'm not. saying Yeah. Not his fault. >> It's certainly a conversation. >> Certainly a conversation. And once it. goes 18 games and someone breaks this. record, guess what's going to happen? They're going to stop the game cuz it's. history in the NFL. The only thing. anybody will ever remember from the.

Bengals season probably or the Browns. season in the 2025 NFL season was Miles. Garrett got the sack record in. Cincinnati against the Brown against the. Bengals. So for for some of the people. to be upset about, you know, them. stopping the game or everything like. that's ridiculous. May we remind you. when Drew Brees broke the NFL passing. record, this is what happened. Okay. >> MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL. >> YEAH. >> ONLY GAME ON. AND AND ALSO this record. got broken maybe a YEAR LATER. LOOK WHAT.

THEY DID. THEY THE REFS, I THINK, took. off their hats and took knees to shake. his hand. I think the coach of the other. team walked over and said, "Hey, Drew, congratulations." Now, whether that was. Ron Rivera or not, who knows? BUT STILL, LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED FOR DREW BREES. THEY DID A HE BASICALLY WON THE SUPER. BOWL. >> THEY got a podium out. >> I don't give a speech. >> He did the one for me, two for you. He. did that whole thing. >> Three for us, four for them. >> Was doing a break. >> No, it's show.

>> This is on the game. >> Oh, I missed. >> Yeah. It's like whenever legendary NFL. records get broken, you know, passing, >> sacking, >> right? >> I would assume. >> rushing. I bet EMTT Smith had some. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. these big ones. There's going to. be a moment of holy hell. This league's. been around a long time. There's been a. lot of great players and obviously this. impact family. FAMILY'S ABOUT TO WALK ON. THE FIELD. IT'S SECOND QUARTER. SO, I. think a lot of people probably judge. this moment as well. And then the NFL. came out and was like, "Hey, this is a.

huge deal, man." Like, we would like our. players to know that IF YOU BECOME. >> WHAT? I DON'T remember it. >> Yes. THIS ALL HAPPENED. >> ALL OF IT. >> THIS HAPPENED. YES, THIS DID HAPPEN. LOOK AT THE JUMBO TRUNK. ALLTIME PASS. yard leader. Congratulations. I MEAN, THEY STOPPED. THIS IS SECOND QUARTER. >> THEY SHOULD. >> GAME AFTER. YES, THEY SHOULD. THE game. happened a This game has been going on a. long time. And uh for you to break one. of those David Baker. gloves. I don't put my fingerprints on. it. Shout out to David Baker. All right.

Anyways, >> he played left tackle actually right. after this. >> Yeah. Well, they needed a guy obviously. had somebody get hurt. They end up. winning the game. David Baker obviously. played left tackle for years. A good. place to be. But nonetheless, whenever. these big records happen, there has been. precedent already set that we are going. to celebrate it in the moment. And uh. yeah, I didn't like Miles catching a. little hell there for getting Rudy to. stop. >> Yeah, I was going to say if you would. have been like, you know, listen, stopping the game's one thing and for. them to, you know, put him on their. shoulders and take him off the goddamn. field like Rudy, that's that's another. thing. >> All right, let's go to the second. headline coming out of uh the NFL. season, a most valuable momentum shift.

Matthew Stafford is now the MVP. favorite. I appreciate that we put Matt. on the graphic. You know, even though he. is a Matthew Stafford, mad respect for. what Matthew has been able to accomplish. this late into his career, he is now. 180. We had a conversation last week. with Dan Olowski. Dan Olowski said, "Matthew St. What are we?" Yeah, right. Hard players, hard competition, [laughter]. everything he's done. This is Matthew. Stafford and we said, "You're just kind. of throwing Drake May out because he. played against bad teams is what you're. saying." Yeah. Strength of schedule has. to matter. Then he throws four.

touchdowns against the Arizona. Cardinals. in a conversation is he was a. GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM. [laughter]. CARDINAL WAS A GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM, you. know, so you can obviously uh cat dog. chase tail situation this entirety. What. we know is if you're in the MVP. conversation, you've had a fantastic. year. And Matthew Stafford, I think, did. put a stamp on it this past weekend. throwing for four touchdowns. Now, when. you look at the stats, it's absurd what. Matthew Stafford's been able to do. When. you look at what the Rams are able to do. offensively, it's crazy. And Tone, you're a voter. When do these votes have. to go in? And you've been saying this.

entire time, I want to look at the. entire 17g game uh picture. >> Yeah, they have to be in by 300 p.m. today. Uh obviously the award will be. announced Thursday before the Super. Bowl. Uh going into week 17, Stafford. was the favorite and then he had that. bad game against the Falcons and Drake. May had a all-time game uh against the. Jets and then this weekend obviously it. flips again. So it's like these last two. weeks have been monumental towards this. race. I just didn't I didn't like like. the the whole it has to be this guy or. it has to be this guy. Both these guys. have had unbelievable years. 46-8 is.

absurd for Stafford. And then Drake May. 35 and8 with his with his rushing yards. and with his rushing touchdowns too. Like they're both absurd. Drake May. leads the league in completion. percentage. And then average uh distance. per target. Like to have those two. things together IS YEAH. EXACTLY. >> DRAKE May's the best on third down too. Like both of these quarterbacks are very. very deserving just like last year. Both. the quarterbacks Lamar Jackson and Josh. Allen were very very deserving. I don't. like people putting down either to make. the case for their guy, but that's just.

how it is these days. But like either I. I don't wouldn't be surprised if either. of them won. >> Well, and that's the other thing like as. a Patriots fan, I feel like if you just. do take a step back and realize like. Matthew Stafford has never really been. in the MVP conversation. He's never. really been I don't know if he's ever. been all pro. Like Drake Mazize 23. Hopefully he will be back here no matter. what the schedule is. But Matt Stafford. does deserve it in his own right. Especially when what's the most. important thing? scoring touchdowns and. you know people have been throwing shade. on the 15 one-yard touchdown passes but.

that doesn't matter you know like just. because they're they're one yard doesn't. mean you know that's not an unbelievable. ball how many times have we shown. Devonte Adams you know him throwing it. in the perfect spot where only Devonte. can get it like that should help his. case in many sense I mean in this case. Pukanua a great play but still it is. just it feels as though Stafford should. win it this year. >> Pukanakua is up for an award or two as. well he could have a couple awards. heading to the Los Angeles Rams this. season. And the crazy part about it all.

is it's been rebuild after rebuild after. rebuild out there for LA and seemingly. still have their pillars, still have. their studs and obviously still have a. chance to win Lombardi. >> Yeah, Mr. Stafford has just been. unbelievable and he what is he 37, 36. this year, however old and him being. with Shawn McVey, obviously they're on. the same page and just coming into each. and every game damn near seems like he. was always in full control and throwing. those touchdown passes, leading in. yards, all the different things. Like. you said, Tone, either one of these guys. could win it, but Matt Stafford with the. questions that we had about his health. coming into this year, the rebuild kind.

of around him, bringing in Devonte, like. people can talk about those, you know, one yard touchdowns, that's hard to get. on the same page with a receiver like. that, especially down there. Everyone. would do it, you know, the same way. people look at Tush Push, like everyone. could do it. Everyone would do it if. everyone could do it. So, that's a tough. a tough spot to be in. But Matt Stafford. has been phenomenal wider to wire. So is. Drake May, but this I mean I'm not. surprised that Matt Stafford is the I. guess slight favorite at this point. >> as 2009 draft classes. >> Yep. >> Me and Darius, we'd like to say hell. yeah, man. >> Hell yeah. Hell yeah. [applause].

>> That's a damn good dog. >> That's a damn good dog there. Matthew. Stafford. >> Now valuable. And we talked about it. last week and then JJ Watt, you know, went again yesterday. >> Drake May's definitely more valuable to. his team than Matt Stafford. >> Why would you say that? >> I mean, you just mentioned one of the. guys Devonte Adams got brought in. You. mentioned Puka Nakua maybe winning. offensive player of the year. >> Two running backs right now balling over. there. >> Pretty good. >> That was the argument. Uh. >> Henry. >> Okay. Go ahead. >> Tvon. >> Josh McD like they got good coaches.

>> Hunter Hunter. >> Puka naku or Stephon. >> But weapons. >> Yeah. Would you take Puka or Stefon. Dicks? >> I would take Puka. >> Would you take Devonte or Stefon Dixs? >> I don't know. [laughter]. >> No. >> There you go. >> What's P up for? What is Puka up for? offensive player of the year. >> and I think he's got pretty good odds. I. think he's. >> Yeah, he's second behind JSN who's had a. historic season. >> Okay. So, and Christian McCaffrey also. in this entire conversation this week. I. mean, there's a lot of great players. A.

lot of great players. And Matthew. Stafford hops into that trailer during. training camp. >> Mhm. >> Comes out spinning it. $140,000 bed. Is. that what they said? >> Holy doesn't look comfortable either. >> What's that? >> The bed doesn't look comfortable either. What? So, >> we had eyes on the bed. I think on the. bed, right? There's no cushion. There's. no padding. >> I don't think I don't think we've seen. the actual bed. >> We've seen a 3D graphic, I think, of. what the bed looks like, right? I don't.

think they've shown us what the actual. bed looks like. I think we have in. theory, this is what the bed. >> and it's Matthew Stafford laying down. and there's just red light therapy. everywhere. And then he's laying on a. thing and then they say it vibrates you. to the proper medium or whatever the. hell you're supposed to get. Then. there's a red light thing that you're. supposed to get. Then there's a. temperature thing, a sound thing. It's. basically just cures your entire body. this year. 140,000. Don't don't you. worry about it. I have thought about. purchasing a few of these things. >> It looks cool. >> It looks very cool. And if you have a.

hurt back, then you go in that thing and. then you become an MVP at 37. I'm. thinking about maybe we need to LAY OUR. ASSES. >> YEAH. EXACTLY. [laughter]. EXACTLY. They've had a hell of a run, that a mortal group. And then let's get. to the number one headline for this. particular overreaction Monday. It's. Black Monday. FOLKS ARE GETTING fired. and folks are staying. That's. >> right. Sure are. >> There's always a yin to a yan. There's. always a zigg to a zag. You know, some. teams see what happened in New England. and Chicago and Jacksonville and think.

to themselves, "Well, if we just make a. little bit of a shift here, we can go on. a potential Lombardi run." And then. other places say, "We like our guys.". Hell yeah. >> The Bengals have said, "We like our. guys." Zack Taylor and Duke Tobin. sticking around for the Cincinnati. Bengals. Now, it was reported late into. the season that these two have contracts. for at least another year. And that made. everybody think to themselves, Bengals. aren't paying multiple contracts, so. they are going to stay. Indianapolis. Colts Shane Stiken, head coach, and. Chris Ballard, general manager, will be.

sticking around. That announcement came. 35 seconds after losing our eighth. straight football game here in. Indianapolis, which means a decision was. already made before the game even. started. The outcome against the Houston. Texans, who obviously have an incredible. football team really didn't matter to. what was going to happen in the future. Now, I will say this about the. Indianapolis Colts. I am a Chris Ballard. fan. I love the human Chris Ballard. He. has been nothing but good to us, to the. city of Indianapolis. I think the. organization at the time whenever he got. in there kind of piecing everything back.

together after all the hell that had. been taking place and the mistrust and. got everything that that happens. Okay, >> now this is going to be 10 years no AFC. South championships and nobody really. talks about the AFC South being, >> you know, like a juggernaut. Okay, no. offense to Houston over the years, they're back, which even more so. No. offense to Jacksonville over the years, they're back. Even more so part of the. conversation. and the Tennessee Titans. >> stink. >> stink. Yeah, but they [laughter] had. Fabel there for a while, so they were.

good for a bit. But it's like the lack. of success for the Indianapolis Colts is. alarming, I think, for Colts fans for. them to decide just that quickly after. the last game of the season to stick. with the same people that have done this. entire time. Now, every single season, there is valid excuses. Valid. I mean, Danny Dimes had us as the number one. team in the league. We're eight and one. And then all of a sudden he comes back. after Bay has a fractured fibula. He. can't move. It's like, well, moving was. a massive piece of his offense. So once. we lose him though, everybody else just. kind of says, "Yeah, we're done. We.

stink." Offensive line can't really move. people anymore. Jonathan Taylor not. really able to do what he was able to do. because when Danny Dimes was playing, I. think there was more eyes on him than it. was on Jonathan Taylor. The defense. couldn't get a stop. People got hurt. We. traded away two ones for Sauce Gardner. Haven't really seen him on the field. So. everything kind of just collapses in on. itself this year. And it's like, were. they waiting for a reason to make an. excuse or is there actual excuses every. year? I think there is actual excuses. every single year, but boy are we just. going to continue to do that. Feels like. the culture saying yes. Carly speaks at. 2:30 officially to break it all down.

>> Okay. She'll give us some uh some more. definite answers, but I was surprised. just like you were to hear that um that. they were coming back right after the. season was ended. I would thought there. would be some sitdowns, some. conversations, maybe some interviews. Uh. but yeah, I thought Chris Ballard did. some great things this offseason. I was. very excited then to see what Danny. Dimes did this year. Obviously, you got. banged up. you can't control injuries, but every team deals with injuries. To. have that seven game slide at the end of. the season, uh that was very, very. tough. And then when you do take that. chance to go and trade two for S. Gardner, if he comes and balls and he's.

the reason you go and win a Super Bowl, it looks great. But if it goes how it. goes, it looks terrible, man. So bring. it bringing them back, bringing them. both back, it's definitely a decision. I. know a lot of people get excited when. you just clean house and start over, but. we've seen teams kind of just be in that. mode every two or three years. So, the. big three kind of I guess taking their. time to see how it all plays out. I. guess I get that side of it, too. Um, and here we are. We got another year. See if we can figure it out. >> If you were to run back what I said on. this day last year, just go ahead and do. it again. We found a couple of the same.

the good pieces to bring a culture. Like, I think Danny Dimes up the. culture. >> Y. >> like I think whenever he got in here, I. think he changed some things. I think. Cam Binham whenever he came in, his. energy changed some things. I think. there was some accountability. I think. there was some professionalism that got. brought into the building because we had. heard what had been happening in the. past. It's almost like guys gave up and. they stopped being pros late to. meetings, missing this, missing that. It's like that's not what winning teams. do. Like that's not how it goes. This. year everything was great. Everything. was great. Then an injury at the. quarterback slows us down. But then just. losing every single game.

>> It's like is there any fight? Like what? How does that happen? >> We'll see you next year. >> That's when everything else supposed to. step up. The defense, the run game, offensive line. Like you got to figure. out a way. We don't have any ones this. year or next year as we rebuild. >> That's great. >> I think we got some pieces that could. potentially move. Could move some good. pieces. >> You just got to think that like with you. look at Ballard's resume, uh 31 other. teams probably would have fired him. after like his fifth or sixth year and. he's going into year 10, which is crazy. to think. >> Well, there's six coaches who have been.

fired already. Uh we assume there will. be more. Good luck these men as they try. to find homes in their families. Obviously, that's a whole piece of it, but organizations are trying to get TO. THE LOMBARDI. WHO WILL MAKE IT? WHO. WON'T? We will continue on the other. side. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice might change their life. >> Who is Pat Max? >> I'm Pat Max. [music]. >> Talks too much. >> A little crazy at [music] times.

>> Energetic. >> Give me Alabama to break. The. >> hardest working dude I know. [music]. >> And he's an absolute force of nature. >> We didn't stop at this point in my life. All I could think about doing was. professional wrestling. >> Oh my god. >> I really didn't know what to expect. [music]. >> Doesn't sit still. Gets out of his seat. >> You are anti American energy. >> I found out Pat was a rockar that every. day. >> And right then, [music] right there, I. quit my job. >> It's a very talented job, very. entertaining. >> There was a point in my life when all I.

could think [music] about doing was. being a comedian. >> Listen, I enjoy being a punter, but not. every [ __ ] series, dude. some of the most absurd [music] [ __ ]. here. Do it [laughter]. >> in the locker room. That was kind of the. guy for us. He was kind of our voice. almost. >> You know, I could give a [ __ ] about who. [music] the hell the punter for the. Colts is. He brings the juice all the. time to anything that he's doing. >> Here we go. >> We're going to increase our output of. content by 10,000%.

>> How am I going to commentate when a you. can't hear [music] me? I'm delayed on. what I say. And when I do speak, you. guys just keep going like I didn't say. anything. [laughter]. >> Like, what am I doing? >> Coming back. Coming back. >> I got to re-examine my whole life. >> He had my heart pounded in there for the. first little while. >> And just kicking the [music] ball. against the house. >> No way in hell am I going to live in. Indianapolis, Indiana. Nobody can move. the crowd like you can.

The cigarette selling came up. >> It's really his money. >> There's point in my life where all I can. think about is being magic. >> This is your principal speaking. Magic. happening [music] everywhere because of. who? Me. >> You know, he's one of my best friends. and it was the best decision I've ever. made in my life. It's where the hell we. grew up. Probably the best decision I. ever made in my life. Now, I think I. found my true love, and that's I want to.

be like a a talk show host. That's. [music] what I want to do. I love. talking to people. I love learning. things about people. I think I think it. [music] people want to tell you a story, and you just got to get it out of them. This should be good.

The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or.

ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how humans is the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, what? >> Let's go. >> This show stinks. And the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. you. >> McAfee off the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The [music] alltime leading tackler for. the Green Bay Packers. >> You.

damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. >> [screaming]. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble abode. The Thunderdome on. this massive [music] overreaction Black. Monday, January 5th, 2026. Hour two of. the program begins now. >> Football is the greatest. The NFL just. wrapped up its season. Congrats to them. Now we head into the playoffs where it.

matters more. College football playoffs. Oh, we got a couple semifinals games. happening on Thursday and Friday of this. week. Then we got Super Wildcard weekend. Friday. THEY ARE SATURDAY AND Sunday and. Monday. We got big time football right. around the corner. Five straight days of. it. We cannot wait to be on the. sidelines both in Arizona on Thursday. for the Fiesta Bowl and Atlanta on. Friday for the Peach Bowl. Miami takes. on Old Miss. Hey, that Old Miss story. >> Yeah. >> get more and more awesome. Don't look.

now. >> as the day rolls on. And then that Miami. team, Miss knows this. They're ready for. it. They're one of the final four teams. in college ball. Miamiy's coming to. fight you. >> I mean I mean Miami is coming to fight. you. You better hope that you have the. one ref crew that we were not at that. was actually calling penalties cuz all. these other ref crews that we have seen. for the college football playoffs are. very good at what they do and very. committed to letting the boys play. I. mean, that has just been kind of the MO. of these college football playoffs refs. in Miami is a physical ball club. I know.

Miss is ready for it, but we can't wait. for that over there at the Fiesta Bowl. and then we'll travel over to Atlanta. for the Peach Bowl as two Big 10 teams. will try to punch their ticket to a. national championship. Now, you listen. to some Big 10 people, they say, "Don't. we think Indiana, Oregon should be on. two sides. Big 10 has been the most. dominant conference. We should at least. have an all Big 10 national championship. if we want it." But the conversation. instead is at least one Big 10 team will. be in the national championship. Will it. be the Oregon Ducks SC Ducks or will it.

be the Indiana. Hooers? >> We'll be talking to Fernando Mendoza in. about 30 minutes or so. Cannot wait to. catch up with him. What a storybook year. he has had. Obviously, Heisman winner, number one overall pick in the upcoming. draft. Can he continue to lead the. undefeated Indiana team to a national. championship? We shall see as he takes. on a great Oregon Ducks team from all. the way in Eugene. and toxic tables here. at Boston Conor at Tai Schmidt. Want to. have the hammer cowboys AP Tony here.

Nine-year NFL vet Darius Jay Butler is. here. >> Yes, sir. >> Good to see you, D. Great time to be a. football fan. >> Oh, yeah. >> What do you do if you're not a football. fan right now? That's so stupid. Learn a. lot about Venezuela. I think we're all. kind of doing that as we speak. Joining. us now, ladies and gentlemen, from. Anatican, Ohio, a man who's a college. football national champion, Super Bowl. champion, RDER Cup winner. Ladies and. gentlemen, AJ Hall. >> Hey, AJ. We're all hearing a lot about. Venezuela. You know, it's kind of. getting into all of our algorithms, [laughter]. even though we are sports people, but.

football is about to infiltrate the. entire world. The biggest games are. about to be five days back to back to. back to back to back. I can't wait for. it. How do you feel as we head into the. most important time for football? >> I mean, obviously, I'm pumped with the. the college football playoffs that we. will be at both of them. That's going to. be amazing. But, yeah, the the NFL. playoffs, like how they shaped up, that. game last night was awesome. whether. you're a fan of the Ravens or the. Steelers or neither team, like at least. it was an awesome football game that. came down to the wire. >> Yeah. Not just down to the wire, down to. the wire, down to the wire, down to the. wire, down to the wire, you know, and it.

was like uh Aaron makes huge play. Lamar. makes huge play. Boswell never misses, misses. Tyler Loop, this kid seemingly. very good. I think they've only. attempted like four kicks past 50. So, I. wonder about the leg strength, you know? I do wonder about the decision-m. processing at all and how he goes. forward. It's going to be a a big mental. hurdle for this guy for the rest of his. career if he's able to bounce back. because I assume the people of Baltimore. have not been very kind to Tyler. >> Oh man, >> I assume it has not been the most. Hey, it's part of it. Luke knows that though.

He knows that. That's a part of it. You. there's only 32 kickers. You need to. make your kicks whenever you have your. opportunity. Even though I have missed. and everybody else that has ever kicked. the ball has missed, including Adam. Venitary. This is going to be a part of. his development. Will it be with the. Baltimore Ravens going forward? Will he. be able to handle it? Will he be able to. bounce back? We shall see. and what do. the Ravens look like going forward? Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL insider for ESPN, front of. the program, a guy who cut a great promo. on Saturday about what he was going to. talk about on Sunday, uh, NFL countdown, Adam Shfter, >> working the phones. Chef is in the.

middle of it. Obviously, I got stuff. going on. I did want to show off the. watch that I have and the ring. I don't. know if he knows that he is currently. live on our show. >> I don't hear anything. [laughter]. >> You hear me? Hello? >> He doesn't hear anything. We hear you, Chefy. Do we hear you, brother? >> I have clue. >> Chef, you sounded great. You're a. keyboard. Actually, I didn't know he's. old school uh typewriter typewriter. Is. that what that was? >> That was the coolest he's ever looked. >> You think because so. >> that was unbelievable. >> cuz he's working on the other side like. this is what it look like to showcase. the watch to the world. Ladies and.

gentlemen, cool. Adam. >> Sher, [cheering]. [applause]. >> I don't know what the audio is. I love. [laughter] that. >> Can you hear us right now or No, >> I hear you. >> Yeah, you look you look so cool. You. need to know that you look so cool there. with your watch casual looking off as. you're typing on a typewriter it sounded. like and getting everything done. Let's. dive right into it. We know that you. have a political show to get on in 15. minutes. Chefy. Okay. So, Jonathan Gan, >> I know that I'm running for mayor of New. York City. >> You should. We would love that without.

Yeah, I don't know if you're going to be. able to get it from my understanding. I. I don't even want to get into that. I. don't even want to get into mayor of New. York City talk. But, nonetheless, uh we. know that there's been six coaches fired. already. Most recently, Jonathan Ganon. Obviously, Pete Carol announces a one. and done. Stfansky felt like you and. every other insider knew going into. yesterday that Stfansky was probably. done. Raheem Morris comes out of nowhere. and then obviously the two during the. season. Which one of these firings, the. last four there, was most surprising and. why did you guys all know that Stfansky. was probably on his way out?

>> Um, you know, listen, there are a lot of. calls. I happen to think when I did the. report on ESPN yesterday, you know, a. couple of things I I put Shane Stiken, Raheem Morris, uh, Jonathan Ganon, and. Todd BS in the category. I lean safe on. all of them because you're talking to. people within the teams and they give. you the sense that they think they want. to keep them, they want to do that, and. then ultimately push comes to shove in. the end and you say, "Oh, well, Jonathan.

Gan's lost nine straight games and their. defense has given up an average of over. 30." And like it seems obvious. Now, Raheem Morris, that was a little. surprising. I expected the general. manager to be let go, but I think what. happened there is the Falcons just. wanted to overhaul their entire. organization and Raheem got swept up in. that and he's out. Stfansky, I don't. know, it's just calls. instincts reading between the lines. I. don't know. I can't speak for everybody, but I had him out yesterday because I I.

believed he was going to be out and I. believe he's going to be one of the top. candidates in this coaching cycle, too. And yesterday we talked about John. Harbaugh, like everyone talking in about. Mike Tomlin. I felt like John Harbaugh. was the real hot button issue over Mike. Tomlin. Um, and those conversations. obviously will occur. Todd BS is another. one. Like I said, maybe I mentioned him. before. I was told they don't want to make a. change, but I was told that with. Jonathan Ganon, too, and a change came. and Raheem Morris, and he's out. So, uh,

these things are fluid, but you have an. idea of who's on the hot seat and then. who ultimately gets the chair pulled out. from underneath them. >> I appreciate you having a thermometer on. everybody's ass around the NFL, especially this time of year. And we're. talking about coaches and assistant. coaches and family. So, it does suck, but it is the business and they sign up. for it. They understand what it is. Jonathan Ganon obviously announced he's. out. Shane Stiken, you mentioned you. were leaning towards safe yesterday. Carly Ers is going to have a press. conference at 2:30. What do you think.

she's going to be saying about keeping. Shane Stiken and Chris Ballard? Because. obviously those are a couple massive. moves for new ownership here. >> Well, Pat, you texted me yesterday, right? You said if I could take people. behind the colonel and be like, "Uh, what do you think I said? I think. they're both safe." And you're like, "How do you know that?" And I'm like, "It's calls. It's checking in with. people." And and sure enough, they. didn't waste any time. Right after the. game, they announced that both men are. back. And I just believe it's new. ownership. Carly Urs Gordon is getting.

used to the job. I believe that she she. believes in both those men and she's. willing to stand behind them right now. as she continues to watch them and see. and learn. Like again, six weeks ago, we're talking about Shane Psychic for. coach of the year. >> It was longer than six weeks ago. It was. longer than six weeks. We lost seven. straight. Thank you. Maybe [laughter]. 10. >> Yeah. Eight to 10 weeks ago, brother. Life was good then. But on that note, I. like Shane Stiken and I like Chris. Ballard. But man, it's a long time with.

no success. This is a long time with no. success with a lot of excuses in a. league where meritocracy is supposed to. be the thing. So hopefully they're able. to figure it out. Can't wait to hear. what she says at 2:30. And obviously I. respect the hell out of the big three. And whatever Carly says, I got nothing. but I will support you Carly. I will. And I think Colts fans, it's going to. take a little bit for them to support. it. But if you win and we get back to 8. and one, you're a super genius. But if. you guys stink again next year with A. BUNCH OF TRASH ASS, I'm not doing it. Okay, let's move along. Let's go to. Baltimore. Obviously, if Luke makes that.

kick, the Baltimore Ravens are hosting a. playoff game and they're winning the AFC. North instead. Potential Holy Water from. Father Maximum Maxmillion Maxwell uh. potentially pushes that thing to the. right. Let's talk about the hard ball. situation because you and Glazer both. saying basically the same thing. yesterday during your coaching report. Tomlin doesn't feel like it's that hot. Tomlin will make the decision. I think. you both have alluded to him potentially. doing TV, which would be awesome. We. would very much welcome Mike Tomlin on a. microphone more often because he hits a.

home run on a mic every time he's on a. mic. And if he continues to coach, he. continues to coach. Both of you said. though, Harbaugh feels like a much. different situation. is hardball in the. world where he would have to make the. decision to step down or how do you. think that would kind of come about. especially after how last night. unfolded? >> You know, I I think look, Mike Tomlin's. been in Pittsburgh 19 years. John. Harbaugh has been in Baltimore 18 years. They are the two longest tenur head. coaches with their teams in the National. Football League and and these questions. have come up with them repeatedly and.

and I think you know we heard it from. the fans of Pittsburgh, we've heard it. some from the fans in Baltimore. I think. over time fans they've called for their. head coaches job. They don't have an. appreciation for uh the job these men. have done over time and they want. something new and something fresh. Um so. with John Harbaugh, I don't think either. one of these coaches, Mike Tomlin, John. Harour are getting fired. I think look, the Ravens season is over so these. conversations can now occur. Um.

you go in, you talk. What is your vision. for the future? Do you want me here? What is your vision for the future? Do. you want me and and they talk it out? But it just feels like there are things. to discuss this year. The season didn't. go the way the Ravens wanted it to go. It was another year where either Zay. Flowers drops the ball near the goal. line in the FC Championship or Mark. Andrews on the two-point conversion or. Tyler Loop. It it ends in. disappointment. And when that keeps. happening, you have conversations to. discuss how you want to address it and. how you want to fix it. And if either.

side wants to make a change and maybe. mutually by the way like Baltimore wants. to move on and go hire whoever else John. Harbaugh automatically to me becomes the. Mike Vrabel of this year's coaching. class. He automatically vaults to the. top of most lists and he'd have a job. tomorrow. Tomorrow. So what does John. Harbaugh want to do? Where does he want. to coach? Right? We we've got openings. in Arizona. We've got openings in New. York. We've got openings in Cleveland. Where does he want to go coach? Does he. want to be in Baltimore? Does he want to.

go elsewhere? That's up for him to. decide. >> It's interesting. I I didn't really. think about John Harbaugh's opinion in. this whole thing. [laughter]. That is crazy. Coach, you've certainly. earned it over the years. But if it does. feel like Baltimore, you know, if you. just read the tea leaf seemingly coming. out of there, maybe the message has run. stale, maybe it is something that is new. that is needed there and maybe that. conversation will lead to that with. front office ownership whenever he goes. in there and talks about the future. Just like whenever Pete Carol went in. there with Schneider and Schneider said, "Get the hell out of here, old man." and. then moved on to McDonald and then now.

they're the number one seed in the NFC. Those decisions are hard to make, bro. Those are hard decisions to make. legitimately. Go ahead, Chef Dy. And. >> maybe it's like a married couple. They've been together 18 years. Maybe. they they they're both thinking about. breaking it off and then they say, "You. know what? Let's stay together, make. this work, and move forward.". >> If you like. rain, >> you know what's funny, Shaft? I don't. want no spoilers here. Husband and wife. are actually writing to each other. there. >> That's right. >> It's crazy.

>> Oh, >> yeah. They're both looking for somebody. that loved the good old days. The pin. colada. Turns out she was laying or he. was laying right next to him. >> Same person. The more you know. >> And then they met up with each other at. the end. >> So they were like, "What?". >> Yeah, that's that song. >> Resparked their relationship. >> Good for him. >> 100% sure. I was I was a little bit of a. uh uh parrohead. Is that what it's. called? >> The Jimmy Buffet. Jimmy Buff. >> I was parrothe there for a little bit. We had some good summers, me and Jimmy. Right. >> Boy, those shows are a good time. Pretty. reckless, those shows. Pretty reckless.

out there. But yeah, that's what you're. saying. They're potentially right and. see if anybody likes panic coladas are. winning football games. And then maybe. they just need each other. Maybe that's. what they need over there. We'll see in. that entire thought. It's hard to move. on though from somebody you've had for a. long time. But boy, feels harder to move. on from somebody immediately after one. year. Pete Carol kicked out yet again. What do What do we think happens now in. Las Vegas? Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Shifty. Obviously Pete Carol, they. they signed him to a three-year deal. there out after one. All the.

coordinators were fired during the. season basically. Um they signed Gino. Smith also. Who knows what's going to go. on there? But is is Tom Brady is he. running this search or who is running. this search for the Raiders and their in. their new coaching regime? >> John Spych the GM and Tom Brady will I. think identify and hire the next head. coach of the Raiders. Obviously, Mark. Davis will have a big say and some of. the other partner owners, but I I think. Brady and Spy are out front on this. Brady and Spy are out in front of this.

and we'll see how it plays out. Yeah, it. Pat things happen. Like things happen, you know, news for nobody here like. >> Yeah, absolutely. That's especially on. this Black Monday. Now, uh the PKO Tom. Brady spy tech situation out there in. Las Vegas. They also have the number one. overall pick. >> They do. Yep. M. >> So, they're going to get Fernando. Mendoza, who'll be joining us in about. 15 minutes. Raiders fans, just know you. can watch the interview that we're about. to do with him, a conversation we're. about to have with him, or watch film. This guy is a guy that can turn an. entire franchise if they get a couple. things right around him. You can become.

the Chicago Bears. You can become the. New England Patriots. You can become the. Jacksonville Jaguars. That's why if you. don't make any moves after a long time. of failure, people are going to say, "What the hell [laughter] is going on?". AJ has a question for you, chef. Do you? Yeah, Chef, we hear uh from people I. mean on ESPN, all over the internet that. Stfansky is most likely going to get. another job within this this coaching. cycle. Do you think that's the case? And. also like what are some hot names of. people that you think may be off the. board quick to get hired?

>> I I think this is a little bit of a. different year. First of all, I do think. that Kevin Stfansky will wind up with. another head coaching job if he wants. one. I think he's going to be a little. bit selective about what he chooses. because look, he just got fired in. Cleveland and so if he gets fired again. in the next job he chooses for whatever. reason, then the chances are he's out of. head coaching chances. So you want to be. very selective and careful, but I do. think that the Giants and the Titans. both will have interest in talking with.

Kevin Stfansky. I do think that he'll be. a top candidate uh in this cycle. I. think when we look at some of the. others, I think Raheem Morris may get. some head coaching interviews here. I. think Robert Salah could get some play. I think. >> Oh, no. Somebody just. >> Oh, somebody just missed. >> get some interest, I hear, and get some. interviews. Um Jeff Hathley and Green. Bay is going to be somebody at Naggie. like, you know, we know some of the. names. Um and and you just don't know.

how Vance Joseph in Denver, you don't. know how it's going to play out and how. each guy will interview, but those are. some of the names I think that will have. some requests here and go on some. interviews. >> Mike McCarthy, Mike McCarthy is going to. be a part of these and we're excited to. see where he ends up. Feels like he. feels really rejuvenated after the year. of hunting with his dogs and hanging out. and watching bowl. Well, it's pretty. crazy watching all games, not just one. game. I learned so much. It's been a fun. year. You guys really guys really good. es and flows of every week is pretty. crazy. I'd be excited to see him get.

another shot. I don't know what his. record is, but I think it's up there. like. >> very good like Tomlin and Shawn Peyton. >> He's been good to us. And we're not. going to openly campaign for anybody, but I think Mike McCarthy would be an. awesome coach for somebody after the. year that we spent. He's been such a. surprise to me. Just such a surprise. The way he talks, how he talks, the way. he views things. He's a deep thinker. This guy Mike McCarthy is a deep. thinker. I I DID NOT EXPECT THAT. I. think a lot of people probably didn't. expect that. He's a. >> He loves ball too. Loves ball. Speaking. of ball, you got. >> any coach. AJ, how many years he coached.

you for? >> Uh, all nine my nine years in Green Bay, he was my head coach. His first year was. my first year. >> Okay. And how do you how would you feel. about him getting a head coaching job? >> Absolutely. He's the man and he he's. even grown and become, I think, even a. better coach as he's gotten older. >> We would like him to go to a good spot, though. There's some ass places right. now where we need him not to go. We. would like to see him go and have a good. time. We would like to let those places. know. We have not told McCarthy that we. think your places are ass though. We. have only supported Mike McCarthy doing.

his thing. Now, let's talk about Mike. McCarthy and AJ. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah. So, the guy who replaced Mike. McCarthy, Sheffy, uh, for whatever. reason, the Matt Laflur stuff, even with. his win percentage being one of the. highest, you know, in NFL history. through the your first eight seasons or. whatever, a lot of stuff is still coming. up that basically says like, hey, if the. Packers don't have a deep playoff run. this year, there's a chance that he's. going to be let go by Ed Policy. Uh, are. you hearing anything else to that? And. who would be the one kind of pushing for. that? Is it the media? Is it ED policy?

Is it, you know, people in the uh, you. know, like the the GM suite? I mean, like who? Because by all intents and. purposes, Matt Lafleur has been very. good as the Packers head coach, but he. has fallen flat in the playoffs. >> Well, it wouldn't be immediate decision. It would be, I believe, a ed policy. decision as the president of the team. succeeding Mark Murphy. He is the one in. charge of those decisions. And, you. know, Matt Laflur was asked about his. job security this year and commented on. it, which led to about a week worth of. speculation. And again, I feel the same.

way about Matt Laflur that I do Kevin. Stfansky if they moved on. And he's. going to be going into the last year of. his deal. I I think he'd get a job in. this cycle as well. So, I don't think. it'd be much of an issue. I I think the. the bigger deal here is can they figure. out a contract of fair value to keep him. there. I think that's what this is. about. Them trying to negotiate a. contract, seeing what they can come up. with, seeing if they get a deal done. If. they get the deal done, it's it's a. non-talking point and his future is. secure there. If they can't figure out a.

contract that works for both sides, well. then you have to ask yourself, are they. willing to let him go into the last year. of his deal, which he would be, or what. do you do about that? And and very. rarely do teams want coaches going into. the last year of their deal, which I. believe the priority will be to resign. him to an extension this offseason. And. let's see what happens with that first. >> Him and Gucci both. >> Yeah, both. I think both. >> Okay. Congrats to the Packers. They like. their guys. >> They like their guys. Way off their gas. >> Way off their sounds like Shifty. That's. what I heard from you. All right, a.

couple quick ones. We know we got to go. talk politics. Go ahead, Con. >> Yeah, Chefy. Arizona, Kyler Murray, what's the situation there? Are they. going to kind of hold on to him? Is he. going to be part of the new regime? Is. he going to get let go, traded maybe? And then same with Miami and Tua. Tua is. also done in Miami. What are those. situations there? >> I I think both I think the expectation. is in both places um no matter who's. making the decision. Obviously, looking. for a new head coach. Miami is currently. looking for a new GM. I I would think. that they're both going to be planning.

to move on from their respective. quarterbacks and it's just a question of. how they decide to extricate themselves. from those particular contracts which. are burdensome right now. >> Let's talk about a young quarterback. Go. ahead, Darius. >> Yeah, a lot of these head coaches that. had these turnarounds joined young. quarterbacks. Cam Ward had an injury on. his throwing shoulder yesterday. Uh any. update on his injury? >> Sprained AC joint. Doctors told him they. don't think he needs surgery. So, that's. an encouraging news development for him. Uh, as you guys would know better than. me, the last thing you want to do is. hurt yourself on the last game of the.

season. Have to spend time in the rehab. room while everybody else is going away. on vacation. >> Oh, brother. That was my last four. years. You know, just kind of living in. there. You actually kind of get more. committed to the craft. You get more. committed to the business. You start. learning more people. It sucks, though. Yeah. Everybody else is doing really. cool stuff. What do you got? uh 6 am. they're gonna rub a metal thing up and. down my knee so that I don't get any. scar tissue on there. Yeah, it's part of. it though. That's part of being a. professional athlete. Happy to hear that. it wasn't worst case scenario for K. I'm. excited to see how they build down there.

in Nashville. Obviously a great city. All right, good luck out there, Chefty. You know, remember Venezuela, it's crazy. hot button. >> Crazy. story. My senior year of college, I. gathered together all my friends. It was. spring break and I gathered together. everybody so we could go to Venezuela on. a spring break trip because I heard. there were nickel beers. So I got we. have like 15 guys and we went to. Venezuela and while we were there civil. war broke out there [laughter].

89. Okay. And they had a they had to. like smuggle us out of the country. It's. true. 1989. >> I remember like you know you don't. realize how dumb and ignorant you are at. that time. Like I'm on the phone. I'm. drinking beers. My my best friend's on. the phone with his dad. They're like. trying to figure out how to get us out. of the hotel to the I'm like, "Have a. beer here. Have a beer." He goes, "CUT. IT OUT. SHUT UP. >> TELL THAT STORY NOW. THAT'LL BE A GOOD. STORY." 1989 Venezuelan history. We. appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. Adam Sheffer.

>> First news break was probably that. >> What's that? >> Breaking. >> There's a civil war. >> Breaking news. Civil war has broken out. in Venezuela. >> Him boozing by the way is funny. You. guys need to get to the embassy. Stat. What? It's nickel beers. [laughter]. >> Not doing that. I learned a lot about. Venezuela. I think we all did. >> Got a lot of oil down there. >> Lot of gold. >> Lot lot of lot down there. >> What a wild weekend that was. >> Yeah. >> Marco Rubio interrupts Pittsburgh. Penguins. Detroit Red. Who won that. game?

>> Uh, >> was it Detroit? >> I think it was Hockey Town, aka the. Pittsburgh Penguins. >> Oh, >> I'm watching that game. Obviously having. a good time watching the Pittsburgh. Penguins. Might be the hottest team in. hockey right now. Look out. Sydney. Crosby looks like he's 24. I don't know. how that works. He's aging backwards. This guy's [ __ ] Benjamin Button. Okay. He's got he's got magic happening. And then all of a sudden, Marco Rubio. pops in. If you don't know, now you know. to the whole world. [laughter] Oh my. god. >> It's going D out here. Hope everybody's. all right. Hey, he's a peace.

>> Well, there's one guy can't see [ __ ] or hear. [ __ ] I heard happy new year. [laughter]. >> Good night. What a wild time to be. alive. Shout out to football. >> Shout out to football. >> Shout out to football. Shout out to. football. Okay, let's put up super wild. card weekend the schedule. AJ, which one. of these games outside of the Green Bay. Packers and Chicago Bears? Obviously a. highlight for you and for Tai is the. fact that one of the greatest rivalries. in all of ball is wrapping up day one of. Super Wildcard weekend. Which one of. these games you most excited about, AJ?

>> I mean, all of them are awesome, but. that San Fran Philadelphia game for some. reason jumps out at me. I honestly if I. had to pick today I'm not sure who I'm. picking to win that game. I just think. San Fran has been has been hot. They're. good and we know Philly even though. people don't talk about it or don't. really mention I feel like they're. defending champs like they were awesome. last year. We know they could find a way. to turn it on but I'm curious about that. one right there. San Fran Philly. >> Hey coach Tyi, is it a dog mentality to. rest all your players when there's. something on the line? >> Well listen it's my decision. Everyone, you know be talking today about how big.

and dumb of a [ __ ] I was. Let's say. Squan, you know, hurts his knee or. Jaylen hurts his throwing shoulder. You. know, you think anyone gives a [ __ ] uh. if Taran McKe, you know, is out there. and he gets his brains bashed in? No, they don't. Cuz they don't want to see. Taran McKe playing the the Ford Niners. in the playoffs. So, is it dog. mentality? Uh, not exactly, but you know. what what what the [ __ ] the difference. between the three seed and two seed. anyway? >> I I have a question for you, coach. So, is it is the three seed two seed uh. that's that's less important than.

Devonte Smith playing to get his to get. his his money. So, it's worth risking. him for an injury or. >> Well, I'm a player's coach and you know, so uh if if you want to [ __ ] [ __ ]. and moan about me sending a guy out. there, get a couple extra, you know, shekels in his bank account, sue me. Sue. me. I guess I won't do that anymore, you. know. And then guess what? when we win. Super Bowl this year and Devonte, you. know, dumps me with the Gay Ray bath. >> He might slide me, I don't know, 10 G's. or something. [laughter]. >> Thanks, coach. Thanks for remembering. me, coach. Appreciate you, coach. >> You know, you just, you can't win. You.

can't win. Doesn't matter what you do. You do the right thing. Everyone says. you're a [ __ ] You don't know what. you're doing. You do the wrong thing. They double down. Say he's the biggest. [ __ ] there is. [laughter] So, I don't. know. It's almost like I didn't win a. Super Bowl last year. It's almost like. I'm one of these other [ __ ] rum dums. who's getting fired today. But I'm not. We're the three seed in the playoffs. And you know, >> did you guys win your division earlier. than everybody else in the league? >> Yeah, absolutely. Wrapped it up like. eight like six months ago. It seems. [laughter] like, you know, we have we. haven't played a meaningful football. game, you know, outside getting the. number one seed. We knew that wasn't. going to happen. We haven't played a. meaningful football game in two months.

>> Well, coach, what do you think about the. Bears losing? You could have played the. Packers by chance, maybe the two seeds. in that one. >> Well, I kind of knew what I personally, no, I don't want to get anything with. them. I thought it was kind of a chicken. [ __ ] move by Ben Johnson. He was trying. to figure out a way to lose that game so. he wouldn't have to play Packers in the. first round playoffs. Uh but we said, you know what, no, no, no. We're not. doing this. Everybody in America wants. to see Bears Packers again. And we got a. little bad blood with 49ers. You. remember a couple years ago, Nick Bosa. was basically saying like, hey, these.

guys suck. Like we know exactly how beat. them. I I can't remember. I think that. might have been a year we went on and. won the Super Bowl. So, uh, you know, maybe he knows something that I don't. know, but again, I'll just let everybody. else talk all their [ __ ] say. whatever they want, and we're just going. to Are we going to play a football game? Is it going to be outside? Yeah. Okay. That's just how we want it. And we'll. play in a parking lot if we have to. >> CMC's on a historic run right now, coach. >> Yeah. Guess what? He's got coming to. Link. Okay. So, I'm not I'm not calling. for Eagles fans to, you know, maybe put. a sock full of batteries and smack him.

in his knees before, >> but but if that were to happen, let's. just say [laughter] coach coach wasn't. the one telling you. >> I know that is not actually Coach Siri's. words, by the way. That is Tai Schmid. impersonating Coachiani for those that. don't know. >> Sure. >> Remember a couple years ago whenever we. started uh licensing our show on ESPN? Some sports media people would have. typed that out as if those were actual. quotes with no context at all. Just. throw us right into a Ryan day. >> with every exact [laughter].

>> exactly Lou Holtz got him cooked up. there. I uh I appreciate that we have. Packers Bears on Saturday night. I also. appreciate the fact that the. Jacksonville Jaguars. Come on, man. >> I know. one, >> AJ, after watching them live after. having eyes on the product of the. Jacksonville Jaguars, you think to. yourself like coming off the bus, they're a real team and then you Well, a. lot of people can look good. Are they. actually good? It's like, yeah. Hey, Liam Cohen draws up people to be wide. ass open. Nobody really talks about Liam.

Cohen being some offensive guru. McVey, Shanahan, uh maybe Kevin O'Connell gets. some love in there. Nobody really brings. up Liam Cohen. This dude's dialing up. wide ass open guys on a regular basis. And Trevor's playing better ball than. ever. Now on the other side, an actual. alien in Josh Allen. That's a great game. to kick off Sunday's Super Wild Card. AJ. >> Yeah, it is. And the fact that. Jacksonville not only is relevant, like. they're they're legit Super Bowl. contender now. That's the thing. That's. what Liam Cohen has done to this team. I'm sure they're also loving the fact.

that they are uh underdogs at home. I. doubt Liam ever mentions that to the. squad. They have [laughter] they don't. even have to talk about it. I'm sure. they know it. But I think they have like. this they're in a nice like sweet spot. to where they kind of have chip on their. shoulder. No one's giving us a chance. even though they are a very very good. football team that can get hot and has a. chance to make the Super Bowl. >> Yeah. And they're showing uh ETN right. now which is perfect timing. The whole. thing with the Bills, you know, was. being healthy on offense, which they. actually are now. Cancers rolling, Keon. Coleman playing again, Gabe Davis, everything. But can their defense, you.

know, get a stop for Josh Allen? Can. they stop the run? Do all those things? That was kind of the only reason. everyone wasn't too too high on the. Bills winning the Super Bowl and now it. does feel like, you know, maybe they. have a shot. >> Yeah, Bills that Bills defense kind of. has turned the corner, been playing. well, better against the pass, better. against the run, which was definitely. the Achilles heel down the stretch. But. the thing with Liam, like I think most. people knew he was a good play caller, a. great offensive mind. Like if you run. back that shot of him running into the. locker room, and that's been him from. wide to wide. We obviously gave him a.

bunch of [ __ ] for the Duvall stuff, too. But that's the thing that surprised me. the most just his character and how we. always say teams you know take on the. identity of head coach. I never saw this. from Lyn. Didn't know didn't know much. about him obviously as a coordinator but. when you see the personality of a guy. that's why you seen other people that. have have the great football mind but. when you go into you got to stand in. front of that room from week one to week. 18 and then throughout a playoff run and. have your team on the same page you know. on you know ready to run through a wall. for you that's tough to do with a group. of professionals. So, the way that he's.

been able to do this for a first year. guy and what a year five quarterback, year six quarterback, like unbelievable. from Liam. >> Yeah. And if you're the Buffalo Bills. fan, look at that locker room. See, this. is why you build a new stadium. That is. so sick having that. >> This isn't even their new stadium. either, by the way. Jacksonville is. building a new stadium, which leads me. to uh my next point. Like, congrats to. Shod Khan. >> Yeah, we said it last week. I would like. to reiterate it. Shod Khan has done. everything he possibly could for the. Jacksonville Jaguars to be good while. not meddling.

>> Bingo. >> Like not meddling at all. Just like I'll. hire this the right people, right? These. are the right people. This is the right. people. I'll give you everything you. need. You want to build a new city? Sweet. Well, how many cities do you want. to build? Let's anything for the Jags to. be good. Let's do that. Well, we're not. getting a lot of fans to the games. We. think people uh how do we turn this into. a festival? Let's get DJs. Let's get. pools. Let's go ahead and build that. into our stadium. It's like Shaw has. really. left no stone unturned basically in. trying to make this Jacksonville Jaguars. team good and they're here. So, congrats.

to the entire organization. >> Yeah. And you guys always. >> they used to tarp off. >> Yeah. >> I mean tarping off the whole [ __ ]. >> big section. Exactly. FANS ARE DRESSING LIKE CLOWNS. THIS video right here. Like you guys. always talk about uh you know like teams. who are the tightest are often and and. granted like I haven't you know parsed. through every single team who won this. weekend who's going to the playoffs like. their video inside the locker room but. we see a lot of these from the Jags and. like them giving Trevor you know uh the. grill like you can tell this team is.

actually they're very very tight and. then you go back to Liam Cohen. I. understand that Baker's been banged up. this year, but like, you know, you just. you look at what a lot of people say. about, you know, like Liam Cohen maybe. should like Bucks fans are wishing he. would have stuck around and he would. have got the head coaching job cuz he. was the one that really unlocked Baker. last year and kind of took him to a new. level and we we maybe should have seen. that coming, you know, uh, in terms of. just unlocking Trevor. Now, I don't know. if anyone would have expected them to go. 11 and four, but it seems like. everything is just going in the right.

direction for the Jags. >> Uh, right direction. Yeah. Cam Little. says, "I'll send this ball in the. direction of the out from anywhere.". Unbelievable. >> From 67 and hits the net. Okay. So, you. get to the 50 down there. Now, there is. a little. >> Jacksonville does have a one-way jet. stream. That certainly does help. The. Colts had an opportunity before half one. time for like a 65 y. Chuck Pagano. didn't send me or Vinnie out there for. it. Decided to throw a Hail Mary that we. did not complete. Certainly a. conversation that happened while we were. jogging into the locker room of what the. [ __ ] are we doing here? We got a.

downwind for this opportunity. We don't. go for it. But every opportunity that. this guy goes for, he makes. Cam Little. is cold, dude. He's already got a jersey. in the Hall of Fame. This guy for what. he's done in the past. Now he hits a 67. y like it's a chip shot. This dude's. outrageous. So Logan Cooks, their. punter, >> bombs. Yep. >> Absolute bomb. >> And a dog. >> And he's a beast. Yeah, he will fight. you. >> [ __ ] matters. We saw it last night. >> Kicking game like game is huge. playoffs. and these um you know outdoor situations. obviously won't be you know this week.

you're in Jacksonville who knows what. the weather will be but a lot of these. games we talk about you know the goat. Vinnie like a lot of those played games. came down to big time kicks so if you. have a weapon like this that's. unbelievable I love his swag. >> yeah me too congrats Cam congrats Cam. his last [applause] name is little he's. not that little you know he's actually. average size Colts do have a little guy. kicking for him and he put his entire. body. and that's not his first time we've seen. that live in real person I He's pretty. active guy on the sideline. We've. chatted about it before. I think he's.

like uh. >> three and a half three and 3.75 pylons. probably if you stack them on top of. each other. >> because he's running down the sidelines. a lot. We see him. You know, he's a. little guy. He's got this guy's a he's. very active during games. I mean, every. single time he can run, he's definitely. GOING TO DO THAT. Yesterday he said, "You know what? I'm going to throw it. all at." And uh that's not the first. time. He's done this multiple times. during [laughter] kickoffs this year. And the ball, too. bring his head across. and put his head on the ball. >> Absolutely. So, so Blake, I want to let. you know we appreciate your efforts.

>> Keep it going. >> We need more of you out there. I still. don't know how that dude kicks the ball. so far with how small he is. I mean, he's clearly a small f. [laughter] He. might be the smallest guy in the history. of the NFL. Actually might be the. smallest guy in the history of the NFL. and he hit a 60-yard field goal in. Seattle. So, it's like Blake, keep. doing. You're the least of our problems. in Indianapolis. We're lucky that you're. there, Blake. Keep it rolling. Join us. Now, speaking of Indianapolis, there's a. town about an hour and 15 minutes south. of here. >> called Bloomington, Indiana. >> It had been forever known as a place. where Bob Knight made the Indiana Hooser.

basketball team a relevant conversation. for every single sports conversation in. the entire country. Now, it's known as. the place that has the number one. football team in the country. Now, it's. known as the place that is home for the. Rose Bowl champions. Now, it's known as. the home of the Heisman. Ladies and. gentlemen, joining us, quarterback for. the IU Hooser football team, Fernando. Mendoza. >> Fernando, >> how are you, brother? >> Great. Great. Hey, boys. Really. appreciate having me on. It was great. seeing you guys on the sideline and then.

during the end of the game, that great. migration you guys made on our sideline. >> Yeah, it was a great migration. Thank. you for showing us love. I didn't even. think about calling it a migration. That. certainly was what it was. You know, as. you know, the exit is right up that. tunnel for us. So, we were trying to get. ahead of it. We didn't know how we were. going to get from one end zone to the. other. We looked at the Alabama. sideline. They look pretty bummed out. over there. No. Indiana sideline. We're. going that way. So, we just started. walking through. Thank you for showing. us love. It was nice to see everybody. The vibes are obviously immaculate. Sig.

got a big smile and even a hug. Okay. Even a hug. I told him like, "Hey, it. was an honor to watch your boys." But. let's talk about this. It was an honor. to watch your team. You're the first. team in CFP history to be able to get. through the long buy and it wasn't rust. it was just rest. How do you think you. guys were able to handle the amount of. time off with the Heisman and everything. else and still come out buzzing like you. guys did? What are your thoughts on the. prep that you guys had during that long. layoff that nobody else has been able to. succeed with? >> Yeah, I think coach Signetti and staff.

had a fantastic plan throughout that. month break and going in that first. drive. We started on the first drive and. had a three and out. They sacked us. twice and I can definitely see why teams. can get off to a slow start, especially. the first play. I was like, "Wow, this. is real football again." haven't played. football in 26 days. Essentially, like. they essentially had a whole another. fall camp of just anticipating this game. all the way up to our to the Rose Bowl. game. And so, I could definitely see why. teams get off to a slow start. However, once we got that three and out, we went. on the sideline. We're like, "All right, we're going to play our brand of ball. We know what we got to do." And we were.

so hungry for this game and all the. anticipation of this game that's been. brewing for the 26 days ever since the. Big 10 Championship. We are ready for it. and ready to conquer the moment. >> Yeah, it looked amazing. It looked. fantastic. You're obviously spinning it. to all your weapons. Tell me about the. run game. Pat Kugan wins the offensive. player of the Rose Bowl, which is. obviously a special moment. I did not. know that Perk Herbstreet decides who. the players of the games are. He wanted. to pick the entire offensive line. They. said that's not possible, so he picks. Pat Kugan. You all go crazy for him. Tell me about the offensive line and. obviously how important it's been to.

this entire run. >> Well, first of all, I want to thank you, Mr. Hershey for that cuz Pat Cooking. again getting the off the offensive MVP. has been so huge for our team. I think. it's given another boost and jolt of. confidence for offensive line. They've. done such a great job this year. And. whenever I, you know, or any other. player on our team gets an award, we. always try to emphasize it. Hey, Pat. Kougan, the rest offensive line, all. those guys are ballers and the only. reason we're up at this point. And I. think him getting that award has really. shown the offensive line our. appreciation for them and the world's.

appreciation for them and really kind of. giving us a little boost and jolt. especially going against a really tough. Oregon defensive line next week. >> Ree Davis fantastic job up there. Uh you. know Reese delivering the ladies and. gentlemen a little misdirection a couple. different times. I love the delivery. I. love the celebration you all had for. him. And uh I appreciate that Pat you. said was the one that basically gave the. speech about you all being misfits, right? quite a leader and a rallyier for. your entire squad, I'd assume. How many. of those guys do you have? And do you. feel like this is the tightest team.

you've ever been on? It looks like you. guys love each other down there in. Bloomington. >> Yeah, this is an extremely tight team. Not only tight on the field, we're very. tight off the field. And Pat is I mean, he's basically, if not the captain, one. of the biggest captains on our team and. especially our offense, he always gives. us pregame speeches, halftime speeches, and make sure that we never have that. complacency. And it all it's all a. trickle down effect from coach Sig to. the coordinators to position coaches to. then the leaders on the team to then. really just throughout the entire team. So I think Pat is a great representation.

of that. He always boosts us with a. little jolt of a pregame speech whether. it's a misfit speech, whether it's a. speech he gave us before the Rose Bowl. or the speech at halftime saying, "Hey. Oklahoma, they were up 17-0. You know, we we don't want to fall in that trap. They're a good team. Alabama's. resilient. Let's stomp them. Let's drag. them to the deep end until the last. bubble comes up. then we could. celebrate. >> Hell yeah. >> And so having guys like that on the team. and having that mindset on the team is. really why we were able to pull away. >> Oh, I love that. I I just got like kind. of chills hearing like that. And I. couldn't even imagine signetti hearing.

one of these boys. >> That's a good one. >> That's go. Yeah. [ __ ] last bubble. actually. Yeah. [laughter]. >> Yeah. We're talking about real death. here. Now on that note, uh. >> the last question for me before the boys. have questions and we appreciate you. Fernando taking time here. Obviously the. game is just a few days away. You warm. up when you spin. Every ball you throw. is a tight sp is a perfect spiral. And I. don't want to jinx anything. You throw. absolute darts. I mean dots on a very. regular basis. Every warm-up throw is a. dart. Every warm-up throw is right on.

the money. I mean you are a special. elite ball thrower, brother, which is. obviously great for the next level and. it's great for Indiana right now. There. was one time when third quarter maybe. maybe third quarter during a commercial. break you were spinning it. >> Signetti walks. Do you remember this? Sig walks right in between you and who. you're throwing the ball to. YOU CLEAR. HIS HEAD BY ABOUT THAT much and then it. turns over right into the hands of. whoever was catching it. I thought you. killed Signetti as the ball was real cuz.

where we were standing I was literally. watching it all happen. It goes right. over top of it. Is that a normal thing? And uh who's the person you play catch. with all all game? Is that the same. person every single time? >> Yeah. So, I would say during the during. the TV timeouts, especially in these. college football games, there's are a. lot of TV timeouts. And I would say it's. a not underappreciated, but a moment. about college games that people don't. talk about enough. You're about to get. on the field, then all of a sudden you. see the stick and it says 3 minutes or. 250 and you're like, "Wow, man. I I'm. ready for this drive and I just got to. wait." So, I always try to get I always.

have a routine, always like a way to get. myself ready. I always get a lot of. throws in with my younger brother or. another quarterback, Grant Wilson, here. on the team. and we're throwing. They're. giving me tips and tech about my. technique. Hey, shorter stride. Hey, be. more stable. And then after I do that, I. get some water, you know, throw a little. prayer up to God and to the man JC and I. get ready to and then I get ready to. execute on the next drive. And so I. would say one thing about, you know, the. signetti incident is I'm always very. confident in my accuracy. I think it's.

[laughter] not only if not the most. important, it's one of the most. important components of a quarterback. And so it's something I pride myself on. And every quarterback, they would tell. you they really pride themselves on. their accuracy and the way their ball. spins. >> Yeah. Well, yours is tight. And that. Signetti takes a lot of pride in what. you could do, too. He He just walked. right I mean, that ball was right over. his head. I'm like, I don't know how. many people are watching this right now. But the entire world would have found. out about that if that would have taken. place. But instead, perfect layer throw. right over top of Sig's head. Turns. over, drops right into somebody's hands,

either Alberto or Grant. It was uh it. was special watching you, man. It was a. great day. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah, Fernando, I guess watching your. guys' defense in person, it's it's a. thing of beauty how how they play, how. fast they play, how physical, how. disciplined they are. I guess how. quickly did you realize that, hey, this. defense is unbelievable? I know you got. to campus about a year ago. I'm guessing. in spring ball, you probably watched. these guys fly around and and knew you. had something special. What's it like to. be on the sidelines and watch your. defense just dominate? Yeah, the first couple days of spring.

camp, I was like, "Wow, this defense is. either the best defense in the country. or I'm not as good as I thought I would. be." [laughter]. So, so, so having that experience and be. able to play against such a great. defense through spring ball, through. fall camp, giving myself a ton of tough. days and a ton of tough looks, a lot of. tricky looks because coach Hayne really. does cook up the defensive looks. It's. helped myself develop so much as a. quarterback. And I mean, as a. linebacker, I'm sure you can appreciate. the efforts of Aiden Fischer, Isaiah. Jones, and Elijah Hardy. All those guys. are ballers and I say every part of the.

defense whether it's what what if. whether it's defensive line whether it's. a second level or the third level. they're all intricate in their own ways. and they all play in such harmony and. symphony with a great synergy all. towards a common goal of trying to. disguise looks trying to confuse the. quarterback while also creating. disruption. >> Harmony, symphony, great synergy and. they all thump and bump. I mean they are. tackling through the ground. The most. physical teams won. That is that is our. big takeaway from the quarterfinals. The. most physical teams, the most dominating.

teams in the trenches are the ones that. won. I think that's going to continue to. go forward and your team has been. special there both on the offense and. defensive line. Let's last question here. about the game. Go ahead, K. >> Yeah, Fernando Riley Noacowski uh seemed. to be kind of an unsung hero for your. team. He was lead blocking. He also. picked up a massive third down, breaking. a tackle, running up the sideline. Oh, here it is. Perfect timing. um what does. he mean to your entire team? What kind. of, you know, player and person is he? And also, just so you know, the edits.

right now on social media of you after. dropping a however that leads into you. just slicing and dicing the Alabama team. is just absolutely fantastic internet. So hopefully you see one or two of. those. >> Yeah, know for sure. The internet is. always undefeated no matter what. happens. So [laughter]. shout out to the internet. >> Shout out. Shout out. shout out. >> But Riley is I mean he's a great player. I think on the field he's he's a tight. end but he's also a little bit like a. fullback. He's like a college you use.

check like a college Kyle use checkek. obviously you know Kyle's a fantastic. player so you know his praises are there. but I say he's a college version. Not. only is he fantastic in the pass game. with that big catch but he's like a. little muscle bowling ball and so. whenever you always throw him you know. he's going to get the maximum yak and. he's also so fundamental in the ground. game. He's a great lead blocker. He's. essentially the fullback of our team. And to have that is such a great. fundamental because, you know, like you. said, all the teams, the most dominated. teams throughout the quarterfinals, they're the ones that won the game. And.

as long as everyone likes loves talking. about the quarterback and the receivers, the skill positions, but it really comes. down to line. And he is just like an. added boost. Like essentially another, if anything, another offensive lineman. that could also catch the ball to our. team. >> You guys are moving his ass. He was I. mean, the amount of motion he had like a. time to kill. Jersey was filthy. >> Filthy early. I mean, you had him all. over the place. I'm like, is that cuz. it's too big of a body to be moving as. much as it is. And I'm literally sitting. there, Nikkowski in motion again, this. guy. I mean, he is a big dude to be. running like that. Obviously, that goes.

to the cardio, that goes to the fitness, that goes to the commitment to ball, that goes to 30 some days or 26 days of. no football and remaining locked in. Shout out to the who whoers. You guys are fun to watch. Let's talk. about the next game now. Go ahead, uh, Ty. Yeah, Fernando, looking ahead to the. Peach Bowl, uh, how much can you guys. take away from the previous Oregon game, obviously going to Eugene and getting. that big win when everyone was kind of. saying, "Hey, is Indiana still for. real?" Uh, is there anything you can.

take away from that? And have you. thought at all about how while it is a. neutral sight game, it it was probably. 80% Indiana fans at the or Rose Bowl, and I assume it's going to be very. similar down in Atlanta. Yeah, Austin Stadium was a fantastic. environment and we had pre- snap. troubles that game. We had a couple. false starts, a couple penalties, and I. still I think that having that home. field advantage in Atlanta, which you. never know until you get there in the. game and you see how loud the crowd is. on either side. However, assuming that. we're not going to have to go on styling.

count just because of how far, you know, Eugene is from Atlanta and as well as. just it being a neutral side game, it's. usually 50/50 and hopefully, you know, there's more fans on our side. I think. that'd be huge for us. And you know, going to Austin Stadium, I believe it. was week five or week six, going to play. against such a great defense led by. their coach, Coach Lupo, and just an. overall great team that is always. motivated with coach Lanning. It spoke a. testament to that point of the season. that we could really do this, and we. were destined to become a great team and.

be able to make the College Football. Playoffs. And I think throughout the. entire season, we've been able to prove. that point. However, beating a good team. twice, not a good team, a great team. twice is extremely difficult. They're. star-studded on both offense and. defense, draft picks all across the. board. And so to be able to have to play. them twice, you know, they have changed. a little bit throughout the season, but. having to play them twice is going to be. tough. It's going to be a great. challenge for us. >> Yeah. It's good for the Big 10 to see. you both there. Obviously, Big 10 has. been dominant through. >> the National Championship. >> Yeah. So, that's how Big [laughter] 10. people are talking. That's how Big 10. people are talking. Uh, but through the.

entire bowl kind of. >> season here, the Big 10 has just been. ass. Yeah, it it has been real. And hey, the Southerns are going to have to look. in the mirror. I mean, the Southerns are. going to have to look in the mirror. I. saw a couple on Paul Finebomb show start. to say, "WE'RE WE'RE IN TROUBLE DOWN. HERE. WE ARE in trouble down here.". >> A lot of pressure on Old Miss. >> Yeah. A lot a lot of pressure on Old. Miss. And he might be the guy, honestly. >> Hey, the Final Four teams are awesome. I. don't know how much you know about. what's going on in Miami or what's going. on at Old Miss. You four are.

representing college football perfectly. And the way you guys play and the way. you operate and the way you act is. special. Dan Lanning and Signetti are. basically just a younger and older. version of each other. [laughter] I. mean, it is it has been awesome to kind. of follow along with all the stories. Now, for you, you added a weapon in the. Big 10 Championship that the world got. to see that continued at the Rose Bowl. and everybody else is getting healthy. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Fernando Pat's obviously talking. about Charlie Becker there. He has been. awesome. Obviously, you have Cooper, you. have Serat, you talked about Noah, you. got your running backs and then I saw.

you do an interview. I can't remember. who it was with, but you were talking. about the old Dominion game and maybe. potentially trying to do too much and. then you realized, hey, like I just got. to be a point guard for these guys. How. awesome is it and how much does it. benefit you to have all those weapons. and then is it you just read the defense. and dictate that the defense dictates. where you're going cuz you have all. these guys and no matter who you're. going to, it's the right decision. >> Yeah. So, our first game is Old. Dominion. And it it was a rough game for. myself because I thought, "Wow, I'm an.

anticipated transfer. I need to go out. there and I really need to be not. Superman, but just try to show everybody. that I'm such a great quarterback and. make all these insane throws and kind of. run all over the place." And that game. actually had zero passing touchdowns. I. actually searched it up later. It was. the first time a Heisman quarterback's. ever had zero touchdowns in that first. game. [laughter]. So, you know, able to bounce back from. that. But after that game, my. quarterback coach and I, we sat down and. we said, "Hey, you just got to be a. point guard. All you got to do is be a. point guard, distribute the ball, when. the defense gets too much depth, just.

check it down. And there there's one. play in Alabama that actually set us up. for our second touchdown that was great. that one of our running backs, Black, got open on a checkdown and ran for 12. yards. So, it was really about being a. point guard. We have such a great. offensive line, such great receivers, and we also have such a fantastic run. game. They're all going to be able to. complement each other, and all I need to. do is be the most efficient quarterback. possible. So, that's been my goal. throughout the entire season. And. there's been many games where I've had a. really high completion percentage or. been really efficient, such as the. Alabama game. And I believe that's the. best way to help my team. So, I'm going. to keep on doing it every single game.

>> I'll continue to gash you up any chance. we get. Hebo just sent a stat that is. exactly what you just talked about. Fernando Mendoza 14 of 16 with three. pass touchdowns. He joined Tua 2018. Orange Bowl is the only quarterbacks. with more pass touchdowns than. incompletions college football. >> Pretty good. >> Hey, that was the, you know, the rest of. us rust thing too comes out pretty. clean. I'm telling you, when we were. watching you throw in warm-ups, >> we're like, "This guy doesn't." There's. not a single flub. No, no flubs. And. with the paint on the ball, obviously.

you see it a little bit. You throw seeds. and then. >> you got a fatter ass, I think, than a. lot of people think. You are, hey, you're a stallion. I I I think not a lot. of people understand. YOU'RE YOU WERE. RUNNING a little bit more there in the. Rose Bowl. Was that a conscious decision. before the game in the game? like how do. you kind of view and make those. decisions cuz you are a strapping lad. I. I don't think people really fully. understand that you're obviously. incredibly smart. You could spin it. You're tall and you are thick. I mean I. mean you are you know Paul is obviously.

respect his entire thing but you're a. big dude and you were moving brother. I. don't think any of us expected that. I. don't think Alabama was looking for that. as well. Is this part of your game we. haven't seen or we just don't respect. enough Fernando? Yeah, I would say with a fantastic. offensive line, we really haven't be. able to see my run game too much. And. you know, Coach Owings and the strength. staff here got me up from, I think, 205, 210 to now a low of where I need a. weighin in and weighins every week at. 225. And with that, I've been able to.

put on good weight where I'm able to run. and I'm able to still be fluid in my. movements. And whenever the team needs. me to run, I I can always run. And so my. mindset's always every play is. essentially a puzzle for me. >> I have five or six options, you know, with throwing the ball. And then my. sixth or seventh option will be, hey, let me just run the ball or throw it. away. >> And so sometimes when, you know, there's. a third down and three that we had that. was pretty crucial. They bluffed cover. zero. >> Was able to tell their bluff going. through my progression, wow, no one's. there. Alabama did a great job. They're.

there's a reason they're in the college. football quarterfinals. Like they're a. great defense at that point. Hey, I got. to put my body in the line. I gotta. maneuver something and I gotta go get. the first down. And so whatever my team. calls on me to run, I'll always be able. to run. >> Oh my gosh, just listening to you frame. it as a puzzle because you're a nerd. You're a football nerd as well. So not. only you 6'5, can move, can spin it, you're also a football nerd and it it. being phrased is like every play's a. puzzle basically and then in real time. you're just uh okay, yeah, Queen's. Gambit on the ceiling. We're figuring it. all out.

>> Middle of the play. This is A GOOD. FOOTBALL TEAM. >> WOW. THEY BLUFF ME. YOU GOT ME. All. right, let's see what's next for you. >> I would I would actually, you know what? I would actually like to see you fill. out one of those puzzles or hey, point. at the bikes so you prove that you're a. real human because a lot of [laughter]. people out here think you are maybe a. robot or controlled by AI. So, what do. you do like to do with your teammates? What human hobbies do you like to do. with the boys? [laughter]. >> Yeah, the boys, especially here in. Bloomington, Indiana, it's a very fun. college town. So, we always we always. like to go out and eat. We always like.

to go out and eat, you know, and you. know, after some big games, especially. at the Big 10 Championship game when we. got back, we we like to go out. So, we. like to go out, we like to go eat. And. so, just whatever you can imagine in a. college town, we do. Yeah. >> And so, it's it's always a good time. with the boys. >> I love to hear that. Feels like you guys. >> don't want to say too much on national. television here, but, you know, not. trying to throw anyone in the bus. because we are focused on Oregon. And. after Alabama, we we got home at 5:00. a.m. So, at that point, it's like, hey, we're always on Oregon. But, you know, there there are times that we have fun. And I think that's the best part of. college football. If you ask any any.

players who've played college football, it's not only the big wins, it's hanging. with the boys after the wins. Yeah. It's. the crazy nights after the wins. It's. just it's the great moments. >> Hey, that's what we're doing it for. >> Only now he's the only quarterback only. team to beat the by-week so far. And and. I got to say that's that's exactly what. GPT would probably say. I go I go out to. eat with the boys. [laughter] WE GO OUT. to eat. >> food. >> Hey, I like that people are saying. you're an AI quarterback, brother. It's. a great time to have an AI quarterback. here in Indiana. You're doing great. things for us. We appreciate the hell.

out of you, man. Muchos gracias, amigo. >> Appreciate you guys. Thank you so much. God bless. >> Hey, no problem. See, I spoke some. Spanish there. Did you hear [laughter]. that? I I thought I would really did it. I thought I really I thought I nailed. that. You said absolutely not. Gringo. Is that what you said right there to me? [laughter]. >> No, I mean, your Spanish is great. Your. Spanish is great. It can definitely go. through a lot of Mexican restaurants in. Indiana. [laughter]. >> There's plenty. >> Yeah, >> there's a lot of them. Yeah, we can't. wait. Uh, you're the man, ladies and. gentlemen. Fernando Mendoza. >> Fernando.

>> Okay. He's Cuban. >> Mhm. >> Miami. >> Did I speak the proper Spanish there? >> Boy, you thought he was going to throw. it back at you, didn't you? You think. he's going to throw something more. longwinded? >> BRO, I THOUGHT DANA WAS coming back. right there. I was so excited for it. I. even potentially had a response. depending upon what he said. Potentially. had a response if he would have went too. far in there. >> I see. See, I would have, you know, I. would have got in there. But, uh, >> I appreciate that, dude, man. >> Special, you know, and transfer portal.

is open right now. The windows open. And. Indiana just signed bunch of people. I. mean, they got Josh Hoover there from. TCU. They got an edge. They got an. offensive line. I mean, they Indiana has. been the transfer portal kings. They. really have them in Texas Tech. Texas. Tech has done very well. They flipped. their entire program. I guess Vandy, you. could also add into the conversation. with what they've been able to do and. what Kurt Signetti is able to do is uh. evaluate very well, but also say those. are our guys like these are the type of. guys we want. Signetti and Mendoza feel.

like. >> Yeah. >> Doesn't that feel like a match made? >> Perfect. Oh my goodness. Absolutely. perfect fit. But you said how signetti. evaluates talent and brings the right. guys in, but then how those that. coaching staff gets those guys to play. together and play so hard and so fast. That's to me the most impressive thing. >> It's funny. It feels like Sig's doing. two jobs at once cuz a lot of the guys. that they brought in, they either played. or he definitely watched film of them. playing. Like they played Michigan State. this year and then they brought in the. BC running back. The BC running back had. a good game against Michigan State. So.

while he's watching film for preparing. preparing for Michigan State, he. definitely saw these things like these. college coaches have to do one job and. then another job while they're doing. that job. >> Turbo coming to Indie. That's a good. name. >> Hell of a name. That's a good name for a. running back. But yeah, uh both Lanning. and Signetti had their press. conferences. Hilarious. Both of them. just like mental warfare happening, but. also sharing the same sentiment. It's. kind of [ __ ] what we got to do right. now while we're preparing for the. biggest game. But hey, I guess it's. college football now. I couldn't study.

for 4 hours cuz I got recruits on here, but we'll see how it goes. And then. Landon goes, "Keep worried about the. recruits over there, Sig. We got the. same thing happening here. It's crazy. time for obviously football, but it's a. great time. We're so incredibly thankful. that we get to talk about it. Be a. friend, tell a friend. Something nice. might change our life. We'll see you. tomorrow. Goodbye. Really think I got it. in there. >> You did. >> That came up out of nowhere. The music. >> Shout out to Nick. He's back. >> See you, Nick. >> All right, Nick. >> Sunshine. >> He's delightful. >> Big smile. Big smile this morning. >> Oh, yeah. >> He came skipping in.

>> Dove you. >> Yeah. >> Steelers victory last night. Come on. >> Good to hear. >> Yeah. I spent a lot of emotion last. night. So, you know, all that was left. was the good stuff. It was nice. >> Yeah. We appreciate that. You should. have had a lot of good stuff last night. It was the greatest ending it could have. possibly been for the Pittsburgh. Steelers. >> There was a lot of agonizing moments up. until that ending. >> Yeah, but the the dopamine dump after. that bowl because of Father Maxillian. Maxwell's holy water. I mean, had to be. >> Does he go on the rope? >> So, he's actually from our understanding. a substitute priest.

>> There might have been a Wally Pip. situation happen with the priesting uh. over there for the Pittsburgh Steelers. I I I genuinely don't have any. follow-ups to the story, but Father. Paul, normally priest for the Pittsburgh. Steelers, we met him. He is the head. priest up there at St. Vincent. St. Vincent actually has a uh has a uh an. arch abbey, which is a monastery with a. bunch of monks. It is a very Catholic. place, like maybe the most Catholic. place in in America. I have no idea how.

many of these there are. Father Paul's. the head of the arch abby. Uh, Father. Maxameleian Maxwell, he is the prior. >> to the Arch Abby. Prior prior to the. arch, >> he's vice president. >> of the monastery of Catholic monks that. you have. >> That looked just like Chuck for a. second. >> It did. >> Oh my god. >> Chuck Pagano was trying to get some sage. after that holy water, but just didn't. get it quick enough. Father Maxmillian. substitute fatherh. might be step priest time to step in.

full time here. >> Yeah. I mean that it's over, you know. At least we love Father Paul. >> Love Father Paul. He was good to us. >> He was he was great to us. He gave us. some sweet trinkets uh from up there. >> Not trinkets. >> Right. You know, I mean I'm Catholic. I. can say that they're trinkets. Uh but. you know um and also you know a couple. ice cold beers that his family was. making but. and again I don't know if this is. corroborated. I don't know if this is. true. I I have heard that maybe he. doesn't bless the field with uh holy.

water before the game and father Max. Million decided you know what I think. I'm going to tonight and then it's in. the same end zone that Tyler Loop misses. the kick. You found your new your your. new team chaplain right there. And and. in that and listen that it's just it is. a wall-ally it's probably the biggest. Wally Pip situation since Wally Pip got. Wally Pipp by Lou Garri. >> God bless him. >> Yeah, God bless him. >> Oh, and God did. I guess. >> he did. >> God kind of made the decision here. >> a little bit. >> I don't know how they how the Catholics. feel about like uh signs from God.

>> pretty strongly. Yeah. >> And especially if it's a a priest who's. kind of it's like, oh, this guy's this. guy's talking to God. I know they they. say they all are. This guy's got his. ear. So, like in Avatar, the little uh. hallway tree, correct? Lands on Jacob. Sully. Yes. The little leaf. Yep. Or. whatever. Yeah. There it is. And they. all go, "Holy hell.". >> Yep. >> Don't kill him. He looks like a doofus, but I guess. >> Mhm. >> You know, they're saying. >> AOL loves him. >> Awol love Yeah, that's a whole thing. So, that's actually what it.

>> The Catholics view that potential, right, as a very obvious sign for. >> that's a sign from our Lord and Savior. >> Now, that would that be father, son? It. could be the holy triumpvirant. >> somebody. >> the father son and the holy ghost. potentially. >> which is. >> yeah. spirit I'll tell you what. >> or the name of the father the son hol. holy spirit. >> I'll tell you what if it's making folks. miss kicks go to playoffs I think a lot. more people are going to start buying in. Catholicism in Pittsburgh. >> I think you might be right.

>> Mike Tomlin TJ Watt. >> Mhm. Big Ben. >> No. Cam Hayward, huh? >> Cam Hayward had the game of his life. >> Whoa. >> Dominating. >> Offense, defense, and special teams. >> Four of them. Yeah. Right there. One, two, three, four. Boom. >> I don't know if they're going to have. enough wooden pews around Pittsburgh for. what's going on right now. >> They're not. >> I think those Catholic. >> get baptized tomorrow. >> You are. >> I'm already baptized. I don't know why I. said that. [laughter]. >> Catholic church. >> Uh, no. Uh, Presbyterian. Thank you. >> Which is uh a branch of Catholicism.

>> Got it. As you know, I could tell I win a lot. >> Branch of Christianity. Whatever. You. get it? >> Catholicism is also a. >> branch of Christianity. >> Christianity means. >> it's kind of the overarching. >> Been a long time since CCD. >> That means Jesus. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> CCD was a good time. >> Mhm. >> Saturdays. I got booted. >> Okay. >> That's pretty rude. What's that? >> What was that? Thank you. >> What was that? >> What's I used to have to go wearing my I.

used to get the opportunity to go. wearing my football pants because I had. a game directly after it. So I'd be. clunking in there in my cleats and my. pants and then go take you know my CCD. class and go to play a game. >> So does everybody have CCD? What's that? >> That's what I'm learning about. >> It's it's basically. >> Sunday school. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But it's on Saturday morning, wasn't it? >> Yeah, it was Saturday morning. >> I was on Tuesday night. Yeah. >> Boom. >> Oh, Saturday morning was much better. >> And there's nothing me and my brothers. disliked more respectfully. We were. pulling teeth not to go. >> I'll tell you what, if it was a. nighttime one, I would have been very.

angry. I think I would not have enjoyed. getting I I'm surprised you said. Saturday morning. I thought that would. have pissed you off, too. >> Yeah. Oh, no. That's something to do. It. was something to do. I had soccer. probably at some point, but it was like. something to do. I didn't watch that. You know, I didn't watch that. So, just. >> Saturday morning cartoons. >> I'm not watching [ __ ] cartoons. You. know that. We all know that. We all know. I'm not watching. >> Missed out. >> I'm going to CCD going I don't know. [laughter]. Then my dad going, "Yeah, you listen.". All right.

They're saying, "Yeah, >> exactly. >> Shut up. >> Listen.". >> All right. All I know is people from. other elementary schools are going, so. there was chance to meet more people, talk to more people. What a time CCD. was. That was a nice little gathering. Obviously, I didn't learn enough. >> Yeah. >> Because I didn't know that if you throw. some holy water down, the other team's. gonna miss a kick. >> I wonder if they're [ __ ] preaching. that in CCD. They need a start. Certainly in Pittsburgh. >> Yeah. that time of year. >> We all know Father Maxmillion and what. his heavenly hands did.

>> Mhm. >> He might be getting a little bit more. power, huh? Are we looking at maybe next. pope here? >> Father Maxmillian, is that how we go? How is that how the steps go here? >> He's got a ways to go. He needs to, you. know, climb the ladder a little bit. more. But after something like that, you. know, Pope Leo might look at him and be. like, >> "This guy's [snorts] got he's got. Pope Leo at the Bears game." But Pope. Leo got got he go to a Bears game. >> from the bottom of the barrel number. two. So. >> that's a good point. >> Pope Leo legit. I mean Chicago. So he.

started as a priest. >> Yes. >> In Chicago. >> Uh I want to say Philadelphia maybe. >> But from Chicago. >> Yes. >> Goes over there. Then he goes to Latin. America I think somewhere. >> Yeah. Somewhere. >> And then he goes to Italy and then he. becomes the guy. >> Yeah. Becomes a cardinal at some point. And then. >> there is something with Seattle with the. pope. Anytime there's been a new pope. announced over the last three popes, Seattle has gone to the Super Bowl. >> Oh, so they see the grace. >> Yeah, they. >> seat one seat and Super Bowl. >> Oh, sorry. Yeah, one seat and Super.

Bowl. >> Oh, boy. >> Oh, no. Something's got to give here. Was that Father Maxillion because he. also exists now, too. >> Well, I was going to say the the sitting. Pope has never had skin in the game. He. does this year. You know, those previous. two popes, those guys don't give a [ __ ]. about, you know, NFL football. I thought. I thought the the one before was a huge. >> Hass JPJ the second. >> Yeah, I thought he loved Hasselback. >> There's arguments out there to be. >> no John Paul. >> John Paul, you know, >> thought he had Sean Alexander tattoo.

>> again. Yeah. >> Cole Musker of 23 is reporting on his ex. account. 2005 a new pope is elected. Seahawks win 13 games of answer Super. Bowl. 2013 a new pope is elected. Seahawks win 13 games of answer Super. Bowl. 2025 new Pope's elected. Seahawks. win 13 games. hand. You tell me who's. writing the story. Also, a lot of. turnover for the popes. I didn't know it. was this quick. Feels pretty quick for. the popes. >> It's usually not right. >> Well, it's cuz they're, you know, >> old as. >> Yeah. >> dying off. >> And rest in peace to uh. >> all.

well. >> Leo. Well, the ones. >> most of. >> Let's get to a break. [laughter]. >> All right. On the other side, we'll. obviously break down everything we. weren't able to touch and then uh yeah, we'll skirt right into a Tuesday. No. Monday Night Football tonight. >> Oh, no more weekday prime time. I guess. next next Monday. Yeah. >> TGO anything tonight? >> No, it was Friday. >> [ __ ] that. >> How was it? >> Um I enjoyed it. It came down to the.

last hole. >> and it was entertaining. But Friday. night, ain't nobody watching that. So, I. you know, same issues as we've always. had. >> Um, speaking of watching things, more. people are watching now than ever. Let's. make sure we're getting football right. These rules analysts, I just learned of. this dude's existence. I don't know. where he paid his dues or earned his. actual ref stripes. Can't have them. Can't take it. What's. his name? Chase. >> Oh, yes. >> I had a bunch of people saying McAfee.

talking about his co-workers. I don't. [ __ ] know that guy. [laughter]. I'm talking for the good of ball, dude. for the good of ball. We need somebody. who's good in there, you know? Like that. is what we need. We need somebody that's. good of ball. Now, maybe he just had an. off night. Maybe they feel obligated to. stick up for the refs or whatever it is, but like for the good of both. Then I. have Connie Carberg, first ever NFL. scout. I think her name Connie. >> Sure. >> First scout. >> First female. Okay. >> First female scout. She wrote a book. She go, she tweets me after I go, "Refs. are ass. Rules analyst also ass. This is.

not great." She goes, "So many people. pulling for the Carolina P. I'm pulling. for ball. >> Yeah, >> I'm pulling for ball right now. Alec. Pierce getting ejected in his biggest. game. >> That was bad. >> because the guy runs into him. It's. like, yeah, right. These refs, come on. Come on. He's a lot of eyes right now. >> That T-Mac OPI, that was. >> Well, that was the one. >> Unbelievable. >> He did push him a little hard there. All. right, >> let alone the two-point conversion. Let's not [music] forget about that with. Seattle a couple weeks ago. That has.

paid dividends for that team. Okay. So, let's just make sure we're all on point. It matters. Everything matters now. So, just remember that when we're getting. there and you're representing all of. ball. I don't care who's getting screwed. or who's benefiting from the call. I. just worry about ball. That's what we. worry. We worry about ball. >> Yeah. It's a lot harder than it looks. I. think that that gig. The good ones are. very good and the other ones, you know, have some work. >> I don't think you can just drop anybody. in. Which makes me feel like the NFL. should maybe say like, "Hey, for prime.

time games, we are going to provide. somebody.". >> Jean Sertor. >> Mhm. >> works every prime [music] time game. >> He's great. >> He's great. And he knows everything. about everything. And he'll even say, "Ah, by the book it says you probably. call it, but in the moment I don't think. he's speaking for ball like he's. representing football as a whole. We. need good doing that cuz ball is like. this. Let's keep it going like this.

>> Yeah, I do like when the analysts stand. up for the players, too. >> Yeah. >> JJ, Dano, >> maybe can do it. Actually, he knows all. the rules. Hands down. >> A lot of people saying Dano knows. everything there. >> Yeah. >> I don't know. Lou Dick might know more, I think. >> Well, that's kind of what it is. It's. what is it? There's a dick measuring. contest between these guys about who. knows more about football. Can we talk. about game? >> Great game. >> Should we get through a break? >> I just need these refs to do good.

>> It's a hard job. We get it. >> But we need you to do good. And rules. analyst guy in the [ __ ] booth. You're. working for the people. You're not. working for the refs. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. They're buddies. They're they're. in a weird spot. They got to know that. going in though. Like. >> you're working for ball, brother. Yeah. But their contract is I mean, who the. [ __ ] are you who's paying you right now? Who's paying? >> Well, it's where I come from. Does this. guy even ref? >> No idea. >> I've never seen him. >> I don't know. >> I I would assume that's a prerequisite. >> I don't know. I don't know if it is.

>> I don't think you've had to refend. That's an assumption, right? >> Yeah. Bendino didn't ref. >> and then he got the review job. So then. he. >> But he's good at it. >> Yeah. >> Revron, >> did this guy ever ref? >> He's He's a bit of a ghost. We were just. digging back here and [laughter] uh he. was a video replay official for a couple. years, but I don't see any NFL on field. >> That's what I'm saying. I don't think. this guy's ever refed. Like whenever he. popped up and was talking, I'm like, "Who is this guy? He must be really. good." And I'm listening. I'm like, "Who. put this guy here? How did this guy.

become the voice of ball?" And one thing. leads to another. And all of a sudden, I'm burying co-workers. There is a uh a. challenge coin available on eBay. presented to uh official replay official. Mike Chase from Super Bowl LV. >> All right, let's buy that. So, maybe we. can get this gig being the ref. consultant. consultants. Atlanta's hired two of them. >> already. Huh. Okay. I'd like to see I'd. like to sit in on some of those meetings. actually. >> They hire two consultants and then they.

promote president to president and CEO. who's already been there. So then we. hire outside people to do stuff whenever. the person that's been there is being. promoted. I don't know. >> that doesn't sound that sounds. maybe the outside firms came in like hey. this is really the only guy you got. Beatles. >> Yeah. >> Let's make him CEO and then if you can. also make him GM and head coach that'd. probably be good. But don't worry about. Sporology and ZRG. You'll get get to the. bottom of it. Sporology. Go ahead and.

scroll through who they got. Sure. A. bunch of ballers. >> Balln knowowers. Yeah, he might be. wrong, but uh I mean the site might be. wrong, but doesn't look like any. onfield. It just looks like one, two, three, four, five, six years as uh video. replay. >> What year? What year were those? Were. those. >> 19 to 24? >> That was right during the uh pass. interference one, which we all agreed. was the worst time of the reviews. >> You'll get better. >> Needs to. Hell yeah. Okay. >> Go a bowl.

for the good of all. >> It's a valuable spot. A very valuable. spot that that person educates everybody. watching the game. >> You're speaking for the sport. The refs. too. White caps as well. Can't have them. be an ass. But rules analyst definitely. too. >> Mhm. >> Let's get to a break. And I'm not. rooting for any team. I'm rooting for. [ __ ] ball. >> Ball. >> Maybe just put the other guy in there. >> Oh yeah. >> Love that work. He He's got the shirt on.

from game day shirt. He's got it in his. I WATCHED THAT BACK A COUPLE TIMES. >> The one that he said was no good. >> Dead on. >> Hello. >> Couple new angles. >> Yeah. >> Feels like that one might have missed. >> in Utah, right? >> Yeah. >> Jodo. >> Exactly. >> If I recall. >> Yeah. >> No, that wasn't good. I'm telling you, I. was right there. That thing was no good. >> Other side. >> Hey, Steve. How come everybody in here. is saying that it was good? including. the one almost right [ __ ] there. >> Standing right there.

>> It did not go good. It was not. >> Go ahead, T. >> Chase was also the Super Bowl replay. official for the 2020 Super Bowl and the. 2024 Super Bowl. >> That's where challenge coins from. You. can have it. >> We got this guy fresh out of the Let's. go back and check how he did. >> Uh oh. Doesn't look great. >> What? They have percentages on No. [laughter]. >> Good luck, Chase. You're a part of bow now in a big way. Y. >> you're speaking for it to a lot to a lot.

of people. Let's make sure we're doing. that properly. [music] You get to and. we're thankful for you. if you get it right. >> That's right. >> If not meritocracy, we need new. Be a. friend. Tell a friend something nice. might change your life. Take five. $4 million. in prizes and charity as a result of the. field goal kicking contest. And Pat,

our show doing his thing, showing the. world exactly who he is, which is a. compassionate, brilliant, wealthy. legend. Rest easy, Jim. I [ __ ] love. you. A lot of people don't realize is. from here to the moon is 28,000. mi roughly. You think about that, you. know, not far, but like Mars, think. about this, is 250 million miles. [laughter]. 250. million miles. Um, and uh, so you know.

that's a little different thing because. when you go it takes about anywhere from. 9 to 11 months to get there depending on. the. >> ARE YOU GOING TO [ __ ] MARS? >> JIM, ARE YOU GOING TO MARS? IT SOUNDS. LIKE. >> I WISH I think you have a chance to do a. show from there when you're 80. >> Hey, >> let's go. >> This show [cheering] stinks and the fact. that you listen, we are very, very. thankful for. McAfee on the line with a. gorgeous assist. >> The alltime [music] leading tackler for.

the Green Bay Packers. You can't. stop. >> Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. >> Hello, beautiful people, and welcome. back to our home of the boat, the. Thunderdome, on [music] this. overreaction black Monday, January 5th, 2026. Hour three of the program begins. right now. >> Football.

>> He's the greatest. That's AJ Hawk. The. toxic table's here at Boston Conor and. that's Tai Schmidt. One half of the. hammer dad. >> Cowboys AP Ton is here. Tone, uh, on. DraftKings when 60% of the bets were on. something this weekend. How did the. public fare? You know, because in the. past we had been ass, you know, and the. books had beat us. And AJ, I'd like to. let you know we tied. >> Oh, good. >> Yeah. I needed a win, though. >> I needed a win. And I'm I'm not going to. blame Jack Carr, okay? Because I. appreciate Jack Carr's contributions to. the United States of America and to.

society. But I flipped this coin right. here for that Seattle San Fran game cuz. I've been on Sat this entire time. And. these axes as if they were the 1849. 49ers that were looking for gold out. there in California. Felt like that was the right play. because Jack Carr's challenge coin told. me as such. I will not hold this against. Jack Carr. Even though immediately after. the game ended, I said, "Fucking Jack. Carr." You know,

>> because I gotta remember Jack Carr saved. the world numerous times. >> Numerous times. Absolutely. >> And if it wasn't for us documenting it, nobody would have known that Jack Carr. saved the world numerous times. Most. recently, UFO out of nowhere. >> Yeah. Invasion. >> Yeah, >> that was crazy. >> Bunch of aliens pop out of some portal. over here. They're going to hit a kill. switch for the entire planet to the. core. Exactly. I still can't believe. that [ __ ] button WAS RIGHT HERE. >> RIGHT OUT THERE. >> around our noses. >> I know. >> I I should when I was buying a property, remember we had to go to a council.

meeting and all that [ __ ] to reszone. this. >> I feel like that should have been. something that was talked about, right? >> Yeah. Disclosed. >> Yeah. Disclosure. >> Mhm. >> Like if someone dies in the house, don't. you aren't you supposed to disclose that. the real supposed to? >> Well, disclosure we're talking about. here. >> Uh. >> oh. >> Maybe maybe we need a little bit more so. that those situations don't happen. Cuz. what if Jack car's not here? We're not. ready. >> We're done. I had that alien killing. gun. >> Yeah. Yeah. That. >> I got off the internet. >> Sure. >> But I wouldn't have been able to use it. >> Mm. You might have got a couple, but all. of them. >> Well, send Bill out there.

>> You wouldn't have got that big one. >> I don't know. When that big one turns. and looks at Bill, I think Bill's. [clears throat] natural reaction because. it would be any human, not Jack Carr. Any human's natural reaction would be to. kind of. >> quiver a little bit. >> Run away from the. >> Jack actually cracking jokes. Looks like. that this one stopped on the way in. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Jeez. Boom. Bang. Pow. Boom. Poem right. in the head. Right in the collar bone. >> Right in the dick. >> Exposed all those. >> I think. >> So Jack Carr's challenge coin obviously. not great to us. Jack Carr as a whole.

though. Good for society. So we tie 73. Feels like we did well though. Hey, we. should be pretty proud of what we did. here. And congrats to you on winning the. season, buddy. Congrats to you. >> Yeah, [applause]. >> you have a prestigious award that I know. you'll be proud of. Congratulations. You. actually win these CUZ YOU LOST. >> WOW. NO WAY. BECAUSE YOU SAW IT SO WELL. >> This is what you win. >> What about the playoffs? >> So, >> oh, interesting. But this is done. It's. not over yet. >> Hold the phone. >> Hold the phone. [laughter] These might. stay here.

>> You know, I love these are here. I. already pictured myself wearing those. things. I already in my mind, those are. ALREADY MINE. >> NO, I ALREADY THOUGHT ABOUT IT AS WELL. I'M BUMMED OUT. BUT. >> those are sea biscuits, by the way. If. >> I want to fly if I want to fly an open. air airplane or something, >> those are jockey goggles. THESE ARE. BRIAN HERNANDEZ JR.'S GOGGLES. >> OKAY, EVERYBODY KNOWS Brock Everybody. knows Brock Roden. That's what they say. about Brian. Brian Hernandez Junior. right here. [laughter]. These are his. >> Okay. He could see it better than. anybody else. That's why he had these.

goggles. There's a there's little layers. that he used to just peel off. He's the. one that actually invented the uh. [panting]. windshield wiper thing that they do. So, whenever we give you these, it means. you're seeing feel better than everybody. else, which is what you would be doing. if you were to win that strap. this. strap this year. But turns out I still. got a few weeks to save this. >> That's right. >> Yes, you do. >> Back and ride. But boy, seeing it's not. easy this year. >> No, it's not. >> Whoever wins this this year is going to. earn it through great picks and great. vision. >> Yeah, they are. >> Of the future. And that's what this.

represents. Age. So, if this ends up in. your little bookshelf room up there in. your attic, you should take great pride. in it and know that I will miss it. mightily. >> You ever put those on? >> No, cuz it would be disrespectful to. Brian the rider for. >> someone should strap them on. Someone. should put them on and see what they. look like. >> It might be a sign. >> H. >> It's only one. >> of what? >> Can we put the teams up there? The. playoff teams. >> Uhhuh. I. >> think they're only It's only one. That's. >> Oh, I see what you're doing. >> That's a horse. >> Uh-huh. Yeah. It's not on the. >> Actually, they're not even on there cuz. they're one seat.

>> You're talking about Denver Broncos. >> What about the. >> Do you think Bri the Rider or Hernandez. Jr. said that? No, >> they don't wear that [ __ ] rodeo. >> The Rider. Yeah. I mean, it would either. obviously the Colts didn't make it. So, >> boy, they've been bucking us off the. [ __ ] day the whole time, haven't. they? >> I mean, we've been going bear back on. that thing. Whispers, you know, on this. horse every season this year. Eight. We're number one. Bang, bang, boom, bang. >> Seven straight.

>> Yeah. >> Seven straight losses. >> Good. That was a very accurate. representation of the season. >> I'm part of the Montana State rodeo. team, >> remember? Oh yeah. >> Did you wrestle that bull? Didn't you. wrestle that bull down? You said, "And. did you did you is it true that. >> you asked the people, >> hey, I don't want to hurt this 9,000lb. animal. Are you sure I can really t like. torque them like you tell me to?". [laughter]. >> Are you asking is it true as if. >> I heard rumors heard rumors that you.

might have asked that? Yeah. >> Yeah. Did I tell you that particular. rumor one time as. >> I think you told everybody that rumor. >> in the acknowledgement of being an. [ __ ] just because they had. >> I'M GOING TO BREAK HIS NECK THOUGH, RIGHT? I don't know if I I don't want to. break his neck. >> I don't want to hurt the calf, you know? I I. >> It is a valid question though. I think. it's a valid question. >> Put it down. By the way, that thing. late. Hey, that thing late leaner there. Uh but yeah, I certainly had to ask like. this looks like I'm hurting the cat. People are going to be really pushed on. her. >> You're going to hurt this thing? Let me. go tell this thing that you're gonna.

10,000 pounds. Things got horns. What. I'm asking you to do is not get in front. of this thing so it doesn't kill you. You think you are going to hurt this. particular. >> Well, I guess it was a dumb question. >> Yeah, it was a dumb question. Thanks. Next one. >> Rodeo's in town this weekend. >> I'll tell you what, if I was to go, wouldn't be my first. No, >> it wouldn't. >> But won't be my last, too. If these. little [ __ ] bull riders, they get in. there. >> Oh, yeah. >> Incredible. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. They wear helmets now. They got. nothing to be afraid of. >> Okay. They all wear helmets off.

>> That's what Ty said. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Forgot about that. >> Oh. Oh. Oh. On that note, now I don't. know what's going on with Bull Riders. I. hope they either. >> cuz these Bulls are [ __ ] bucking. better than they've ever bucked in the. PBRs. Obviously worthy of a watch if. it's on in between other stuff. Uh. speaking of like they got helmets on. now. So you know the wild and wonderful. Wand Wandas. Yeah. the Wendas nos. throughout the entire time. They have. been the family that has done. deathdeying stunts for the entire.

country to watch live. We're very. thankful for them. They're the original. uh you know jackass. They're the. original uh crazy folks to do stuff and. it was uh good entertainment. I think. their entire family committed to it. And. then it became like, hey, worst thing. that could happen here is we're bungee. jumping over Niagara Falls, you know, cuz they're like kind of uh locked in. And I as just mere moral idiot saw the. worst thing that could happen there is. bungee jumping over Niagara Falls. That. actually sounds pretty sick. You know, it it would check the box just one time.

So I think because of how much we. learned about how much the Wandelas. >> Wenda. >> the Wendas could actually die. Like. obviously that particular form of. entertainment got dumbed down on a. linear television version because we'd. be watching the internet and people. would be doing like actual should die. stuff and we'd like see it. It's like. wow I can't believe I said but TV I. think laws and injuries and insurance. and everything got too big where we. couldn't really have something that. could really go for it anymore. Really.

did feel like that was a lost. entertainment cuz they tried it a couple. times. We're walking across this, we're. walking across this, and then you watch. it and it's them not really being. entertaining and everybody, it's hard to. just buy into the not actually dying. Morbid, but that's what we're selling. here is deathdeying act and stunt. That's what we're watching. This Alec. Hold thing he's about to do. >> Yes. >> They're saying he's [ __ ]. >> Yeah. Nothing. >> Yeah. Free solo. >> climbing. He's free solo climbing a a. building. A very tall one in in Taiw.

>> Taiwan, I think. >> In Taiwan or something. >> Live. >> Live. life. >> Yeah. >> Life. >> So, if we see him fall though, you won't. you'll just see him fall and they won't. show him like hitting the ground. >> No, you have to find that on the. internet. >> Correct. [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> So, that's all it'll be very jarring. It. will be terrible, but I have faith that. he's going to make it. >> I I have faith he's going to make it. And hopefully out of camera view, they'll have a net down there that'll. catch him. >> Nope. >> That would make sense once he gets past. like the the 10th or the fifth story or. whatever. >> Brother, they got nets outside of. buildings. I don't know if you heard.

about people working until they didn't. want to work anymore. Okay, they figured. that whole thing out. But I'm saying I. didn't think I would be alive again for. an actual death stunt happening on TV or. happening. >> See what it is. >> I don't think Han's signing up for. anything other than. >> it is. >> Yeah, that's a net. Even if there is a. net though, think if you're that high up. and you do fall with how much wind. you're going to get blasted back into. the building like you're not going to. make it to the net, bro. >> I What was that thing called? Free solo. was his dock, right? Yeah. Yes.

>> I mean, Palms are sweaty watching the. documentary. Oh, yeah. I mean, like. actual the if this is real, which it. seems like it's going to be. >> I mean, that's going to be a jarring. Like, we we don't get a lot of that. anymore. I don't think I don't think. there's I don't know how many of those. are going to exist going forward, honestly. [ __ ] shout to Hon, dude. What a maniac. >> Yeah. Lunatic. >> I was at that uh what was that? Disney's. upfronts. >> Mhm. >> To announce our show is being licensed. >> by Disney and ESPN and he was the only. guy I really fanboyed about. I was.

walking by. Holy [ __ ] You're the uh. Alex. Alec. No. Uh Alec. Yep. Nice to. meet you. Oh, I love you, man. He said. he knows the show. He watched on the. internet. I'm like, don't need to hear. that. It means you saw a clip of us. talking about you. What we did say about. you though, how we all feel, he's. different, man. Literally he is he. >> he's been on, right? I think we've had. him on. >> Yeah, he's got a kid now. >> Yeah, he's family. >> Yeah, full-blown family, >> man. I wonder if that changes your. mindset. >> She's similar. I I I don't know if she's.

like a rock climber, but she's some sort. of I think she understands. this person just doesn't have like the. fear. >> Yeah, she is also a rock climber, but. she does use ropes. She's not a free. soloer like Honold cuz she was in the. they were just dating at the time in the. free solo dock living in his van and she. went with him to El Capiton. >> Can you imagine if she was just an. accountant? >> Yeah, she couldn't be like I don't I. don't think that would ever. >> think you're marrying someone like this. if you don't have similar interests. >> This is such an interesting thing. because this documentary is so so old.

So we're just assuming everybody has. seen it. If you have not seen it, worthy. of a watch that this human exists. Like. the fact that this human exists out here. in our world that we're in. We're. talking about living in the woods, taking months of his life to just look. at a rock to see how he could climb it. with no ropes. And then every single. fingertip could be the end of it. >> And just not even really considering the. outcome that is certainly right around. the corner. Every single movement. And. then there was another doc about a.

Canadian fellow. >> uh Mark Andrelair. Yeah. Yeah. He was a. ice climber. >> He's free solo ice climber at the tip of. mountains. So like at the very top of. mountains. So you got to hike up to the. tallest mountains and then at the top of. them there's just ice. I guess on the. capsules, you know, when you draw a. mountain, the top of it normally has. like a little white thing. Those are. just he's just climbing it with no. ropes. And I the documentaries came out. pretty close to each other. And when. we're watching the one or the other, I. think. >> in Mark Andre. >> And Mark Andre. Yeah, >> is interviewed. Yeah. >> Yeah. He said he looked over, they were.

like climbing two things and they like. looked over and it was like each other. basically seeing each other and it's. like uh those two are considered the two. best of all time and it's like the fact. that they're doing it. Yeah. Here's the. Alpenist is the name of this one. Worthy. of a watch. Worthy. Now that football's. slowing down. >> We got no Monday Night Football tonight. Yeah. >> Okay. So, you're going to hear a lot of. these types of conversations from us as. AJ's connection is unstable. Uh he might. have been dangling. You know, he might. have been dangling out there. This guy. didn't make it. I didn't hear I cut out, but I know this this gentleman didn't.

make it, right? >> Yeah. He ended up passing away. Honold. actually talks about it too in the. alenist about how like people would know. where Honold is going. Like he has a. girlfriend. He would notify people. Like. that guy would just disappear and go. climb go climb mountains cuz he wanted. to, not because he wanted anyone to know. he was doing it. >> No pictures, no videos of a lot of them. >> Yeah. >> So literally just coming back. Hey, I. climbed that for Okay. Can we see it or. game? >> What? Just love of the game. >> Legit. >> That that Lo thing, if they're really.

doing that, I kind of looked into it. this weekend just because I didn't think. it would be possible in this modern era. that we're in to be able to do that. >> That's gigantic. >> Yeah, the numbers on that are going to. be outrageous. This dude's like actual. Spider-Man. >> He's like actual Spider-Man. He's. climbing a face of a [ __ ] rock that. has like tiny crevices and he's. thousands of feet in the air and he's. just sitting there like this and he they. have a shot somehow because other rock. climbers. >> that is just like right on top of them. basically zoomed out with a fish high. lens and it's just like death just.

because of his little tiny little. fingies like this. >> And you said he like looks at what kind. of what other like recon is it on like. how the. >> He knows his path. He knows his whole. path going up before. He He knows like. the different paths and all that stuff. >> Capitan, right? It was what it was. called. >> Yeah. Yeah. Caponap. >> We've never been climbed free solo. So. they documented him cuz he didn't like a. lot of his [ __ ] being documented. So. they documented him climbing something. that these climbers said was impossible. to climb free solo. So he did it. And.

it's literally like people have ropes. and [ __ ] that they put into these. So. they'll put like something in between. cracks and then that'll hold them. And. then if you fall, you know, you have. something and then you spin and then you. hit it. It's like this d this dude is. not nothing. Nothing on just a t-shirt. A thing in the back that's like chalk or. whatever. >> Chalk. Yeah. >> All right, here we go. And. >> just like a little kid on like a monkey. bar. >> Insane. >> Like [ __ ] 2,000 however many thousand. feet above sky. >> That's crazy. >> It's insane. >> to watch how they you know there's I. don't know if it's another doc or like.

an hour YouTube thing. They talked about. filming him when he was free souling. the guys that climbed around him and. filmed him and all of that. Like that. that alone is a great watch if you want. to see it too. When they talk about like. it it was real like, "Hey, what if he. falls and dies? We're going to be. documenting this dude's death. Like, do. we put this out?" Like, it's it's pretty. cool. >> There's a there's, you know, I don't. know how many of these humans exist, but. there's some XG games humans that just. exist out there. Like those squirrel. suites. >> Yeah. >> The b the base jumpers. There's a base.

jumper documentary on YouTube. It's. called 60 seconds to hell. And actually. the main character in the end that's. what happens like they pass away and it. is insane. >> Is that the one where like six of them. out of the eight of them? >> I think so. >> Yeah, I've seen that. >> They hit a mountain. >> Yeah. Everything. >> Yeah. >> One of the ladies that they follow is. like, "Hey, when you get into this, you. know, like one of my best friends is. going to die cuz we're base jumpers. This is what happens." And then. throughout the at the end of the dock, like one of the main characters in it. >> How come how about committing full life. to it? >> It's crazy.

>> That's crazy. That is That's an. incredible commitment. Hold on. Good. luck. >> Yeah, good luck. >> Go get him, huh? >> Good luck. >> I'm watching. I'll watch. >> Me, too. Yeah, me too. And I'm going to. have the sway. Come on now. >> I don't know if I'll be able to. Even. just talking about the free soul dock. and seeing that photo makes me. >> I got really uncomfortable watching. free, which. >> he's not going to fall. He's too good. >> Yeah. If there's any. Can we show that? [snorts]. >> So, I mean, there's a lot of stuff, right, for him to grab, it looks like. Listen.

to me. Listen to me. [laughter]. >> That's real. Like I know. I wonder how. >> imagine how windy it is too up there. >> I wonder how climbers feel about it. Like I wonder if they're like it's a. building. It's going to be pretty easy. >> for him. >> For him. Yeah. Or if it's like more so. uh Yeah. I don't know what the hell he's. going to hold. >> There's other guys that climb buildings. out there that you can see, but I don't. know if they're this high. >> Yeah, for sure. But they're usually with. like wiring and stuff, you know, like. that's the the cabling. So him just not. being cabled up. I assume that the Oh, I.

don't know. But looking at it, >> Yeah. It's hard to tell. >> how it goes back. You know how you go up. and then you're like the overhang. It. looks like they have that whole climb. like you're That's even tougher. >> Yeah. And how long is it going to take? It starts at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. >> at least. Isn't that going to take? >> And what if the weather's terrible? What. if it say like contingent on weather? I. would assume if it's horrible weather, he's not going to climb on this. Astrana. was going to jump in Vegas and it was. windy and I think they delayed it or. something. >> Definitely contingent around weather cuz. uh in the free solo doc too, El Capitani.

supposed to climb it one day and it like. they wake up and it's like raining and. they have to push it. >> Yeah, I think there was clouds too. potentially in something that they. change often. >> cuz they watch the Doppler like those. pro evenlair like they watch the Doppler. just to make sure you can't get caught. in the rain while you're halfway up. No. ropes. >> Good luck, Alec. >> Good luck. >> Good luck. How many of those are walking. around just with no sense of fear? >> TC. >> Yeah, at least two, >> I guess. Tom. Yeah, Tom and Alex. >> TC. >> Mhm. >> Oh, Ian uh rap sheet. Remember he said.

he's not scared of anything. >> Blake groupy. >> He did a pencil on the He did a pencil. on the bungee jump. [snorts]. Raport did remember he said he he. penciled into his bungee jump. Feet. hurt. >> Oh yeah. And then it flipped him at the. end. He got a whiplash at the bottom. >> Yeah, I do remember that. I'm not. scared. Yeah. And now now it's all. coming back to me. Rap sheet. Tom Cruz, Alec Arnold. >> Who else was mentioned there? >> Blake groupy. Just I mean he'll. submarine into anything. >> I'm telling you, we've been saying that. for a few weeks. That might be the.

smallest guy in the history of the NFL. I mean it is. >> for real. >> It is unbelievable. >> What are his dms? Do you know his dims? >> 5'5 110. >> Hey, he can kick for my team any day if. he's going to do that. >> I legitimately feel that. This isn't the. first time he has done this. He has done. this before where he just full send. Full [ __ ] send on a football field. I. respect it so. >> so much. [laughter]. It is so awesome. Uh legit. >> What's he even doing that close to? >> Yeah, he's [laughter] down in there.

I love it. >> What if he would have knocked that ball. out though? His helmet almost got that. ball. >> Exactly. That's what I'm saying. So I. respect it. Blake, we need more Blake. Nowhere near the size of him. We're. We're good with the size. We got this. one figured out. He had a 60 yard so it. doesn't hold him back at all. But like. the fool and he's he's got moxy too. Yeah. I mean he is a showman out there. I mean he he is I I respect the way. Blake groupy operates and uh yeah this. is the only thing that needs to be said. is what I tweeted immediately. Hey, nothing else needs to be said about him.

They were saying some stuff about him on. the internet. >> It's ridiculous. >> I don't like it. >> Uncalled for. >> Fernando Mendoza said he understood it. though. The internet's always. undefeated. Speaking of the internet, felt like everybody was positive about a. commentator we need to show love. Mike. Trico. >> Hell yeah. Good call, lad. Great call. Good call. I. think people were pumped up about what. Mike Tica was doing last night, and it. felt like Mike Taro was just living in. the game. Like, hey, I'm in the game. Understood what was on the line. Understood what the futures were. potentially for both franchises,

depending upon the outcome, and had his. most juice whenever it mattered the. most. I thought it was a uh I don't know. what they call it, a perfect game. I I. don't know how you go about doing it, but I appreciate Trico a lot for what he. did last night during that game. made a. great game even better, which is what. we're looking for. H, >> that's what the great broadcasters do, right? They just add to the the aura, the excitement of a game. Taro has been. awesome for what, 30, 40 years. Like. everything the guy does, like he is he's. awesome. I I think he's one of the best. there is. >> Super smooth in everything he does and. then has the ability to be able to read.

the room and bring the juice. And it's. like whenever he does his interview with. Chris Collinssworth at the beginning of. the game, uh, whenever he throws it over. to him and says, you know, this team. likes to blah blah blah. Feels like he's. genuinely listening as opposed to just. getting through it what's happening. because that probably is scripted and. rehearsed. But it feels like Tariq. actually listening, like actually. present, actually in the moment whenever. he's calling it. And have that type of. confidence obviously comes from working. on it a lot, but also having like a. natural chops that not a lot of people. have. He can call anything. Duke can. host anything. He can call anything. and.

his addition back into the NFL's prime. time booth whenever Al Michaels moved to. Amazon and he gets Sunday Night Football. has been a blessing for Ball. An. absolute blessing for Ball. Best in the. game. >> Absolutely. Still got his fast ball. Just the way he sets up moments then, you know, obviously knows when to lay. out like a true true pro. Best in the. biz. >> Yeah, I appreciate what they did last. night. I do. We sent him a text. I sent. him a text. Told him congratulations. He. didn't have a number saved. Mike Trico. football. sent him a a group shot of us.

here saying great job and he was all. pumped up. He said great job with. Fernando today. >> Okay. >> Boom. >> So, >> okay. >> Nice. Watch the program. >> Always studying. Oh yeah. >> I assume he just has all everything. >> Yep. Knowledge. >> Yeah, cuz he's got to do world events. He's got to do Olympic stuff. >> Yeah, I'm pretty sure. >> Yeah, cuz he's interviewing Jordan. >> He's great. >> I mean, he is. >> Well, interview. >> he interviewed Jordan. Relax. >> Yeah. >> Hey, that was a good play by them. I'll. tell you. >> Every every Sunday, right? >> They [ __ ] got us, didn't they? Oh, >> I think he was there for Christmas. >> Well, I don't.

>> [ __ ]. >> They ran the video probably in the. house. >> Is it still going? Are we Is that Is. that still going? >> I'm not 100% sure. Live stream starting. soon here with Carly Urs was supposed to. go off at 2:30. It's 2:46 right now. Did. I forget about it until this moment? >> Yeah. Yeah, I'd say yeah. >> Maybe they said [ __ ] it. Let's fire him. actually. >> I mean, maybe Carly saw some names pop. up and go Kevin Stfansky Indianapolis. Wait a minute. >> Wait, this team came from Baltimore, didn't it? Yeah, Harbo's available. >> Oh. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> Maybe we bring in John Harbaugh to lead.

the play. >> John Eric Sullivan available. >> Maybe we need John Eric Sullivan. >> True. >> Hey, Tai's been doing some research on. the GM department. Mostly because. allegedly a Packer guys about to go, right? I mean, that is. >> Yeah, John Eric Sullivan who has been. with the Packers. I believe he was there. the entire time you were there as well, AJ. Uh he is currently the VP of player. personnel and uh he actually got several. GM uh interviews last year. Didn't get. any, but his name is is very hot right.

now in the prospective GM candidates. >> If you talk about Packers front office. people. >> exactly Elliot Wolf who I I mean I don't. know what his actual title is with the. uh. >> pseudo GM. He comes from the Packers. his dad, Ron Wolf, was the one who. traded for Brett Favre and uh, you know, Schneider, who he wasn't the GM, but he. was McCarthy's, you know, top aid when. he was there and then did other things. for the front office. So, like they have. a long line of these kind of guys whose. names we don't know who end up going on.

and getting GM roles or or other big. roles in front offices elsewhere. >> AJ, do you think that's because the. Packers don't have owners, so an owner, so all these other roles have to pick up. maybe some other jobs as well? You know, does that make sense? Like, do some of. these personnel people come a little bit. better equipped for the general. management job? Is that why they get. plucked at a more often rate than maybe. other places? Or is it because the. stability that they've been able to have. for so long? What are your thoughts on. why Green Bay Packers personnel people. seemingly do a great job whenever they. get the opportunity to run an. organization? >> Yeah, I don't know. They they do a good.

job. A lot of it goes back um goes back. like 20 years. Like John Eric Sullivan, too, like he's he's a dude. Like he is a. dude. if he get he should get be a GM. eventually. I'm sure he might get one. this uh hiring cycle it sounds like. But. yeah, I don't know. They have like a. good you know when you go to training. camp, did all of your scouts come back. and hang out like during camp and watch. like all your regional and scouts that. usually live like your guy who lives in. Houston comes up like they're all there. the first 10, 12, 15 days of camp. Uh. that's when I would like realize how. good they were. All of them would come. around. That's when we'd see them all.

together and you like you realize we're. in pretty good hands. These guys know. ball. They know what they're doing. They. know what to look for and they were like. real humans. Like I always respected. them. I always enjoyed being around. them. >> Yeah, they're road warriors out there. The scouts uh whenever they're kind of. cut their teeth in the NFL personnel. department. Why do you think Packers. people have been good? Like what John. did up there in Seattle? >> Yeah. >> Crazy. >> Insane. >> Think about the amount of like. [ __ ] you have to take to make the. decisions that he made. First of all,

we're moving on from Russ. >> Okay. Get him out of here. >> Oh, that's cute. Pete Carol, that's fun. Moving on from him. Both beloved in. Seattle. So, you're going to make a. decision that is going to piss a lot of. people off. You're sitting in a chair. where decisions have to be made and. you're going to make a hard decision and. there's going to be a lot of people. pissed. It's going to be emotional and. even you might not want to do it, but. you know it's the right move for him to. sit in that pocket probably sweat his. pits whenever he was making those. decisions for. >> Oh, man. The ass. I couldn't even.

imagine Louise. >> I mean, all of it. I assume as he's. doing that, but to sit in the pocket and. make those decisions for the good of the. program for the good of the program, it's like that is a trait that not a lot. of people have. Even people that sit in. uh chairs that decisions have to be. made. Like I think there's a lot of. people scared to make decisions that'll. piss somebody off or piss people off. I. think their shins don't want it. Especially with the rapid reaction that. you currently have right now with how. loud social media is and how much. everybody knows about everything. It. feels like making a decision that's. going to piss off a lot of people scares.

a lot of people and decision makers into. making tough decisions. So I think. they're cowards whenever they send it to. out of the building for instance or pass. it the buck or don't make the decisions. like it's like hey you're supposed to be. doing that do that and it's like for him. to do that in Seattle with how loud it. got their stadium was getting taken. over. >> Yeah. >> Okay. Their fans were not happy with. him. He was still there. He was the. constant. So for him to go through it, make the right decisions and have it on, it's like god damn that is. >> It's come from Ted Thompson. I think a. lot of it comes from Ted Thompson, RIP.

He was a great GM for Green Bay, the. Green Bay Packers. And also like such a. unique human to where I promise you like. Ted Thompson, he was not bothered by. outside noise, by the media, by any of. that. All he cared about was like what. do I have to do to give these coaches. the best players and give them a chance. to win a Super Bowl. Like that's all Ted. Thompson cared about. I think a lot of. these guys worked under Ted. So, I think. they definitely learned at a young age. like, hey, you got to do whatever you. think is right for the team, not what, you know, some blogger or what someone.

outside of this building thinks. Like, you know the team better than anybody. >> It can get loud though, dude. >> Oh, yeah. But it's like a real real, you. know, culture over there and some other. place too. Like you have that real. culture. You have that real. communication from the top down and like. stability. So, when you come from a. place like that, typically when you go. somewhere else, you know how to build a. team. You know how to have patience. Patience. you know how to have your, you. know, whatever your belief system is. Hey, we're a draft and develop type. team. We're not going don't do a ton of. free agency, but we will do a little bit. more. And then as the game evolves, you. got to be able to evolve, too. So, just.

like when you go on from a great place. in your coaching tree, you got to hire. the right people around you. And [ __ ]. you got to get lucky with some of the. players that you go out there and draft. and they actually show up and, you know, outperform probably their draft. You. know, you draft a guy Richard Sherman in. the fifth round and he goes on, you. know, Russell Wilson in third round, he. goes on to be what he was. So, it's. always it's a combination of it all, I. think. >> Yeah. And I think the culture being all. the way back instilled with McDonald who. might win coach of the year, whatever. It's like, >> well, that's the next 20 years at least.

>> We'll see. >> Whoa. >> I just going to [ __ ] crown them cuz. they got a by-week. >> I think so. [laughter]. >> I think I am. He's calling plays. McDonald's. He's calling the defense and. they're one, one, two, one, one, one, whatever it is with Houston being the. two, two, one, two, two, whatever it is. on the other side of it. So, we always. talk about it with offensive. coordinators about how, well, we got the. play caller for whatever. It's like. their defense has got the.

>> they got the defensive play caller like. and they got the defense that's going to. be able to keep them in every game. And. if Sam Darnold's going to do what Sam. Darnold's going to do, it's like, are. they going to be able to keep up offense. coordinator wise? Because all the. offense coordinators probably going to. get head coaching gigs if I had to. guess. >> Well, and and you have to give, you. know, tip your hat to him for that, too. Cuz like last year, they weren't. terrible, but after a year, he was like, Ryan Grub's not the guy. Like, get his. ass out of here. We're going to fire. him. Bring in Clink Kubak. And we see. how much things change. So, like he's. got a track record already of kind of. having his finger on the pulse there and.

knowing like, hey, you know, we we're. not terrible, but like we need to get. better. >> And DK, like DK Metaf, see you later. Uh, Gino, see you later. Pete Carol two. years ago like. >> lock it. >> Lock it. Yeah. Well, long in the tooth. Lock it. But but still same same thing. Like think about the amount of superstar. and like legendary guys that he. basically was like, "Nope, you like we. can do better." and then actually going. and doing that much better. Like it's. incredible.

>> And I guess they did not paint over all. the walls. Okay, so that story was. obviously blown out of proportion by us, >> but it's what we were told. Okay, so. we're only going by what we were told. Um yeah, congrats to the Seattle. Seahawks. >> Same style, too, of when they, you know, were going in the Roman rush. Like great. defense, good run game. Now you just. needed a quarterback that's not going to. [ __ ] it up. >> And. >> we'll see if Sam is that guy. >> Yeah, TBD. I'll tell you what, that was. a big game. >> Big game. >> Big game. He did. He did in a big game.

>> Couple big moments. >> He did. >> He did. >> He did. >> He did. >> He did. >> He did. 14 back years. >> 13 points. >> 13 points against. >> all you needed. >> Uh-huh. >> Oh, >> you just said he just didn't need to. [ __ ] it up. >> That's That's what I said. It's all you. needed. >> Get it done in the playoffs. Ron Gab. real good. tackle ball that guy shared. >> Are they last in pass attempts? >> Uh, they were second to last. >> Oh,

>> take. [laughter]. >> Go on, Sam. >> Hell yeah, Sam. >> Go on, Sam. Even when he does it, they. say he didn't. >> Yeah. Well, he did. >> Was it? >> It's unbelievable. Good for them. I'm. proud of them. All right, let's get to. some overre Oh, wait, wait, wait. Speaking of overreactions, uh, you know, Seattle Seahawks have a lot of big-time. famous fans. We have a friend of the. program who is a diehard Seattle. Seahawks fan. He has been super jacked. up about the Seahawks team literally. every single ever since uh they hired.

McDonald. I think now he's going to. argue he's been a fan his entire life. I. just became of an age where I can meet. these people and yeah, you know, he gets. into this entire but there is a man. who's a comedian who's also an. impersonator and an impressionist and a. guy who's going to be uh one of the. biggest stars probably on earth over the. next 10 years or so who is a diehard. Seattle Seahawk fan. I asked him. yesterday, send me a one minute video, selfie video. Okay. Uh kind of just. explaining this particular Seattle. Seahawks team from his perspective and. why he thinks they're great. This is. what we got back in return.

>> Hey, thanks Pat. Look, when you asked me. to make a video about coach Mike. McDonald, I immediately said yes. The. only challenge is going to be keeping it. short. I mean, we're not talking about. me in the bedroom. We're talking about. the coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Mike. McD. I have an internal power rankings. of the most important people in my life. And it's amazing how quickly he's passed. most of my closest friends [music] and. relatives. I mean, my stepdad bought me. a laptop when he proposed to my mom in. 2003. Welcome back to Who Gives a [ __ ]. Cuz my new number one is Mike McDonald.

Now, it's pretty [ __ ] obvious that he. should win coach of the year, but I'm. biased. So, I decided to reach out to. some of his main competition and get. their perspective. Here's what Mike. Vrabel had to say. >> Coach of the year? Yeah, that's got to. be Mike McDonald. Anyone voting for me. has to be insane. Drake May is doing all. the work. Without him bowling out a QB, I'd be the defensive coordinator at the. University of Phoenix online. Too soon? Wow. Thanks, Mike Frabel. I wonder what. coach Ben Johnson has to say. Well, the. thing that makes coach McDonald better.

than me is the level of competition. I. mean, this guy went 14 and three in the. toughest division in football, and I. barely won the Central against Jordan. Love and Carson wins. Not to mention the. point differential. He's over there. winning blowouts and I'm scraping by. We. only beat the Giants by four points. Four points. I'm lucky I wasn't fired. for that. Wow. Those guys really know. what's up. And I agree. Coach McDonald. is obviously a football genius, but I've. gotten to know him personally this past.

year and I got to say he's a great guy. Beyond the X's and O's, he genuinely. loves his players and they love him and. they want to play their asses off for. him and for the city. That's why he's. been so successful and led us to a. franchise best 14 and3 record this year. And on top of all that, I mean, come on. The dude is handsome as [ __ ] Mike. McDonald looks like the math teacher. your mom emails nudes to. And now. there's just one thing left to do. Win. that [ __ ] Super Bowl, baby. This is. our year, Pat. I can feel it. I can feel. it in my bones. It could be the edible.

talking. But with Sammy Darnold slinging. the rock, JSN going deep, and the. defense laying everybody out, this is. our year. Isn't that right, Coach? >> Adam, I thought you said this whole. thing was going to be for your charity. >> Oh, no. I said for McAfee, for the for. the Pat McAfee show. >> Oh, dude. Are you even wearing pants right. now? I mean, what the heck? >> You wish. No, I'm I'm not. It's a by week.

>> Back to you in the studio, Pat. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Thanks, Adam. Unedited. That's how. it arrived. >> Love that. >> age. That is how that video arrived. Think about that. Yes. Unbelievable. The. impressions. I'm I'm excited to hear. Frael's thoughts if he if that gets to. him. Johnson. [laughter]. >> All right. We appreciate you. I think we. can say McDonald was on a show. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. >> McDonald great actor obviously. >> Yeah. What do you mean.

>> in that in the video with Adam? He's. doing a little little gimmick with Adam. >> Yeah. >> Let's get to some overreactions. You're. acting right now acting like he was. acting and that was not a candid call. >> Yeah, >> please. >> Acting like a douche. >> AJ's Yeah. Not Coach McDonald. >> What if Adam Ray would have stood up. just meet out at the very [laughter] end. of that. >> with Coach McDonald on the call? >> I still have yet to see the final second. there. We cut that off at 2 seconds. after he said it. So, hey. Conor shoes, too.

>> Well, he does have a pair of Harley's. over there. Got them before they were. released. It's very kind of Connor to. give his cuz he wears the same size. You. see? Yeah, Adam Ray. He gave up his. howies to us. >> Sounds very interesting. >> Shout out to Adam Ray. >> Sounds like it. >> What's that? >> Sure sounds interesting. >> Conor didn't think he was going to say. yes. Connor didn't think he was going to. say yes. Hey, you need help with. anything? >> Oh, you need help moving? >> Yeah. >> What day? >> Today. >> I can't. >> No. Yeah, today. >> [ __ ]. >> Yeah, actually, you're coming. >> [ __ ]. >> Hey, man. You want your shoes are nice?

You want them? >> You want the rest of my sandwich? >> Yeah, I do, actually. >> Uh, but I'm still kind of hungry. Yeah, but I'm going to take it. [laughter]. >> Okay. >> You offered though, right? >> Yes, I did. >> Yes, he did. >> Yes, I did. >> And Adam Ray should have taken him. I'm. sitting at I'm putting myself in Adam. Ray's position on the way out. It's been. a great day. >> Great day. >> Great day. >> Great juice out of Adam Ray. >> Yeah. Hysteric. And Sweet's appearance. as well. >> Energy is outrageous in the I mean. energy was outrage. Yes. In a suite. I. mean, >> awesome.

>> Energy is outrageous out of Adam Ray. It. was great. On the way out, we had just. gotten Tyrese Halle Burton's new shoes. Shout out to the How's by the way. Boom. I think they're available now. >> I think they're available now. >> Got a couple pairs of those and we're. all opening them up and it was a. classic. Hey, you wear my size. That's. really cool. And Conor goes, "Do you. want them?" Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And Adam just immediately, "Yeah, yeah. Give me those.". >> Closed the box, walked out of here. He's. gone. >> to to a plane. >> To a plane. >> He's not going home. >> Gone. Gone. I mean, he's out of here. And he's got the Hallies. And uh I.

thought it was a really cool moment by. Connor. >> I was like that's really nice of you to. do that. And then Connor goes, "You. thought he was going to [ __ ] say yes. and take those?". >> And he ladies and gentlemen, uh we have. a. >> press conference that has just started. right now. And uh Adam Ray has a pair of. highs and Carly is speaking about the. Colts. >> Loyalty and support as always, >> but particularly this season. >> You're right to be frustrated with how. the latter part of our season went. I'm. pissed. We are all pissed.

Every season is unique and this season. really was a tale of two seasons in one. We are all encouraged. We were all. encouraged by our first half. We. experienced a lot of progress. which gives us optimism for the future. and the direction we are heading as a. team. >> [snorts]. >> Then adversity struck. But no matter what the circumstances.

are, we have to be able to find a way to. win and finish games. Even though we didn't get the results we. expected, I'm confident in what we're building and. how we're building it. So with that said, Chris will continue. as our general manager and Shane will. continue as our head coach for this next. season. We have been very clear with Chris and. Shane.

that giving them another opportunity. means that the sense of urgency for them. to deliver and perform has never been. higher. >> Okay. >> Okay. Chris and Shane are both capable. of facing this challenge. >> head on and finding a way to achieve the. results that our fans deserve, which is winning games. >> Okay. >> Getting to the postseason and ultimately. winning championships. Ultimately though, I am responsible for.

our team's performance and the promise. that we made to be the best. Our extremely disappointing second half. of the season wasn't up to our standard. and that falls on me. At the same time, there were moments. during the season that gave me reason to. believe that we can achieve sustained. success under Chris and Shane's. leadership. Good design is never done. And as with.

every offseason, we will work diligently. to improve and find a way to win. You guys, I will take questions now. >> Okay. All right, Carly. >> Let's go. >> All right, Carly. The pressure to perform is high right. now on Chris and Shane. Yeah. Basically, she said they know this is the last. year. You either win or you don't. So, we've already kind of went all in. trading two number ones for a player. Uh, we don't have a quarterback signed. officially other than Riley Leonard.

Yep. >> And AR. Okay. Maybe AR comes back. healthier than ever and does his thing. Jonathan Taylor's probably going to want. a new contract. if I had to guess. Similar situation though. Don't make the. playoffs and he's going to be demanding. money. So that's going to be fun. >> Sure. >> To go through. >> Pitman. >> Michael Pitman dog. Need him. Alec. Pierce dog. Need him. I mean, there's a. lot of decisions that have to get made. and a lot of money that has to be paid. and we don't have ones. But I appreciate the fact that Carly did. say, "Hey, this is [ __ ] it.".

>> Urgency has never been higher. Mhm. >> Now, Ty and Connor did make some noises. while announcements were being made. there from Miss Carly Ersi. Gordon, >> that leaky air conditioning unit was. pissing me off. That's what I I was so. freaking mad. >> Connor followed up even now after she. was really getting into the meat of it. all. >> Yeah. >> Just couldn't handle it. I think a lot. of Colts fans, no matter what she said. there, we're going to be like, "Okay.". But I do appreciate the fact that she. did say like, "Hey, they know that this. is it." Now granted, maybe one year.

under their belt, half year, whatever, as owners, maybe they feel like right. now is not a time yet for us to do a. full overhaul. Okay, that's a lot of. decisions that are going to have to get. made. That's a lot of hiring that's. going to have to happen after the. firing. Are we equipped and in the. position to be able to do that right. now? Then people immediately go, well, you have to be. That's kind of the way. it is. It's like, ah, weighing all these. options. I have no idea. I have no idea. how they get to it. But boy, there was a. lot of Colts fans hoping for something. different, I think, next year because. different.

>> brings like optimism naturally. >> Yep. >> Natural optimism is just gonna fall into. place. Doesn't even matter who you hire, there's just a natural thought that. something's going to be different next. year as opposed to the last nine years, you know, like that's what people are. going to think. >> But boy, if you go back to when we were. eight and one, those are good old days. >> Yeah. Time. >> Those are great old days. >> One injury. Yeah. [clears throat] I. mean, >> that's really what it is. Every year. though, it's like that. >> Yeah, that can't be like that. Can't be. one injury, right? It's a National. Football League. Every year, somebody's.

going to get hurt. But uh it was nothing. that she could have said at that moment. that would have made coach fans or any. fans feel any differently. She already. made the decision that uh well, they. already made the decision, the big three. made the decision that um that Chris and. Shane were coming back. So, it was. nothing she was going to say. But. >> it did I don't know after watching I. feel a little more bummed out as a. coach. I do. But I expect I just. >> well honestly I'm not a big prepared. speech type of guy where like off the. okay you're clearly reading like a.

prepared statement like obviously you. have some bullet points you want to hit. but you know hey you hit it you have an. opening statement take some questions. Um so maybe that's just what turned me. off AJ but yeah I'm pretty pretty bummed. out. >> It's the reading I think that also. immediately bums you out you know cuz. it's like let's get back on it. But I. think Carly's a very diligent person. We. really already um we know that. Yeah, they could have telepromptered, you. know, in the back. Could have given her. an opportunity. I don't know how that. whole thing goes. Yeah, maybe a. pre-recorded statement. She is taking. questions. I wonder what they're going. to be. Probably a lot of like.

>> why' you come to this decision? Yeah. All that. >> How how so quickly too? Like when did. you make. >> But she said it in the thing like there. was moments she didn't say down the. stretch. There was moments during the. season where she they truly believe in. the vision that they have there, right? >> Yeah. And Yes. She said that. >> I say, "Hey, when are those when were. those Could you explain those moments to. us? Could you give us an example? One or. two?". >> Oh, man. >> It's a good followup. H. >> What have been? >> Thank you. >> Can we get beamed in there? >> Yeah. Let's see what they're doing. Oh, you mean like us actually?

He's got to be there. Anthony Calhoun's. got to be there. When did you make this. decision? Did anybody ask that? >> Carly Ers Gordon also quote as saying. injuries are never an excuse. You know, injuries are going to happen, I think, as she said. >> Okay. So, how' they So, what. >> what excusees you? >> So, why do we do the seventh straight? >> It's brutal, >> man. It's all right. Tough decisions. We. signed Dimes. >> Mhm. >> He's ready by week five. >> Riley, though, at the be.

>> Yeah, exactly. >> He looked good, man. >> He did look good. >> Really good. >> Finishing third. >> Happy for him. Was happy for him. >> I thought he didn't know the offense or. something like I I thought even though. he went the Notre Dame and Duke. >> Okay. [laughter]. So, I assume he is a very smart guy, but. like I assume he didn't know how to. operate the off or like something, you. know, like I assume there was something. that they see behind the scenes that we. don't see. Maybe the guy can't take a. damn quarterback center exchange. Like. maybe maybe there's all these things. I. didn't know what it was. And then I'm. watching him. I'm like, this is do we.

are we all thinking the same thing? He's. big. He's fast. And the only worry was. he couldn't throw the ball. Like when he. was at Notre Dame, couldn't throw the. ball. Duke couldn't throw the ball. Could he complete some because he was an. athlete? Sure, but he was just an. athlete playing quarterback. Watching. him like actually yeah spin it and like. layer a throw, couple deep throws, it's. like man, this guy became a throwing. talent as well. I think that's good news. for the coaches in development in this. entire thing, but also great news for us. at Riley potentially became a guy cuz. when we were watching him at Notre Dame. and at Duke,

>> it was very evident he could not throw. So if you could stop him from running, >> you were probably going to put them in a. bad spot. Then he hurts his ankle. whenever he was at Duke and then he. makes it all the way to the national. champ. I mean, he is real deal, but like. >> spinning it never a thing. That was that. was why he wasn't drafted or something. I mean, he's got high school basketball. highlights where he is [ __ ] cooking. people. I mean, he is nasty. If he can. spin it now, >> this dude might be an actual I mean, we. might be looking at an actual guy.

>> Oh, yeah. >> And obviously very small sample size, but you're going against the best at. least for the first half like the best. defense in the league. And like you. said, most of us had that we were held. back. Okay. Can he throw the ball. downfield? That his first touchdown pass. to Pierce. The one he missed, uh, well, Pitman, it was kind of on both his. hands. He had to dive out for it. But I. thought that was a great throw, the deep. corner, the second touchdown to Pierce. as well. So, yeah, showing he has the. ability and the fundamentals to do that. It show I mean, it also shows you why. Shane is standing as a good coach to. have him, you know, at least look this.

good against Houston. And once again, it's a small sample size, but he gave. himself a chance to at least be. considered going in next year and having. some meaningful reps in like training. camp and offseason. >> Bailey McComeus was losing his mind. >> Notre Dame fan. Did you see him? Uh I I. put out a tweet that was like, "We're. watching Riley right now. He's tall. He's very athletic. He can throw now. I. didn't know he could do this." Are we. all thinking the same thing? He. responded, "Yep, yep." Like three. Yep. We're all thinking it. We're all. thinking the same thing as Notre Dame. fan. He's got a lot of fans in Indiana.

already. And the moxy of the dude, he's. he's real athlete, this guy. >> Oh, yeah. >> Phil Rivers, too. Mentor. Now, >> granted, >> Phil Rivers might be head coach. somewhere. We don't know. We're not 100%. sure. That's Riley right there. Yeah. Natural. Easy. Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, our QB our QB room. >> if they were to play basketball against. uh any other quarterback room. >> Oh, yeah. >> Anywhere. >> Yeah. >> Jeez. Three on three. We win.

>> a windmill off the two star. >> Yeah, we got Riley AR and I assume Dimes. can play very good basketball. Sure. If. I had to guess, >> I think I think Riley Leonard, Anthony. Richardson probably beat everybody else. all by themselves. >> And Danny Dimes I assume he can add. somewhere. I I don't even know if he's a. hoop or an I. >> I assume he's a point guard can play. Your toughest might be uh Houston. because Davis Mills is 69 and uh CJ CJ. can shoot that thing. >> Uh New England too. Drake May.

astronaut. Unbelievable. >> I don't know if you guys know but. Cutlets can [ __ ] throw down. >> Yeah, I trust him knowing what's going. on out there. >> Always head coach obviously. >> Of course. [laughter]. >> Of course. >> Like Jimmy V. We might actually have Jimmy Valvono. coach on our team. >> Okay. >> To be clear, there's a chance from the. heavens. Obviously, rest in peace. >> Thank you for your contribution to. society and sports.

>> That's huge, man. >> Yeah. >> Every year, every year they say the. amount of money. It's like 100% to it. Yep. Because there's. >> big time. >> backers. >> Yeah. They were called something. I. forget the name. >> Financiers, >> maybe. >> Donors. Yeah, I guess it's donors, but. it's a different class of donors that. basically fund all the uh like the minis. the front office [ __ ] like the people. that president of it working it because. there's a lot of people working on that. every day. >> The donations don't pay for the workers. >> Bingo. The donations go directly to.

actual charity and then they got. somebody paying for all the donation. from somebody or something. >> benefactors maybe. >> Yeah, I forget what it is. >> Endowments. Yeah, the endowments to pay. salary scholarship. >> Yeah. Once I learned because you assume. all these big things like oh this is. some sort of somehow and it's like no. 100% donations actually go because they. got somebody doing that. It's like thank. you for your contributions because you. start looking into the the cancer world. in your family trees. That thing's. everywhere. >> Oh yeah. >> Pulling for everybody right now. Hey TCO.

is going through it right now. >> Yeah. Big time. >> Let's go. Let's go, brother. He's going. to have a new liver concert in here in. the Thunderdome. Okay. >> Can't wait for that. The year of the. Buffalo. >> They had some heaters back then. Oh, he. had. >> great socks. >> Better than Foxy at golf. >> Wow. >> He probably is. He's pretty dangerous. >> Really? >> Yeah, he's better than Foxy Golf. Yeah, that's a thing. We'll see him. >> Foxy doesn't believe that. >> Foxy, you haven't been out there much, huh? Have you? I haven't seen you out. there. >> It's funny you say that. On Saturday, it. was 35 degrees and I went out there and. chipped the putt a little bit outside.

>> Foxy moved to a neighborhood where he. has a golf course right outside. >> Yeah, it's very close. >> Foxy's living good. Hey, you deserve it, Foxy. You deserve it, Foxy. It's the. greatest thing ever. I'm just cooped up. Way too cooped up. Gotta be outside a. little bit. >> Yeah, we are a little cooped up. >> Yeah, >> lot of that means ball weather. So cold. Wife and I were talking about how the. summer cannot wait for the warm weather. >> for McKenzie, >> you know. >> Yeah, that's the big thing. >> Getting getting her outside cuz. everything now it's like inside inside. It's like we need to get her outside. We. need to get her outside experience and.

running down here kicking a ball. >> I don't know how long it's going to take. but. >> we need her start. I think she's a lefty. too. >> I mean so you're talking about maybe a. little messy out there. Yeah, >> I'm very excited to watch that. We got. the property. You got how many kids? >> Four. >> Imagine in that house in Ohio. >> Well, >> we're outside of Ohio. >> In that house, you mean? >> Old old CBA. >> Yeah. It don't matter. Kids can fight. with each other. No matter what size the. house is, they will pick on each other. and punch and fight and strangle each.

other no matter what. >> Nice. Nice. All right. Hey, that's Hawk. football. >> That's right. >> Yeah, it is. Speaking of football, we. need to listen and read how people. around the football universe feel about. their football teams on this glorious. overreaction Monday. I put out a tweet. saying, "Hey, I can't wait to hear your. thoughts on your squad, what they should. do. Should somebody be fired or hired or. are you guys moving and grooving your. way to a Lombardi? All you got to do is use the hashtag.". >> I don't want to overreact. >> Best ones will make the show in Tai.

Schmid's eyes. This became a trending. topic this morning. We appreciate you. all for participating and shout out to. Ball for being as awesome as it is. Let's get into it. This from Tone Takes. # I don't want to overreact. Father Maximillion Maxwell should. immediately be the Pope. Have a statue. built outside the shore and all the. blessings forever and always. >> Amen. Tony, I don't think you're lying. and I assume a lot of people feel this. way in Pittsburgh. >> Yeah, we've talked about father uh quite. a bit and he got a he got a lot of run. last night because of the missed field. goal in that end zone that he was.

blessing. um you know he wasn't blessing. for miss field goals, he was blessing. for health and wealth and wellness and. and all the such but it just happened to. you know work out in our factor. Um and. I think he should do it every single. game and I do think he should be the. pope. I don't see why not. Um. >> so you kind of move Father Paul out and. Pope Leo out basically in one clean. sweep. Actually one clean. >> what have you done for me lately? I. heard they're also singing oh father.

>> instead of mama because of what he did. >> That place was cranked when renegade. came. >> Yeah. Yeah. Last night was awesome in. Pittsburgh. >> I heard there was fights everywhere. Love to hear it. >> Yeah. I mean that's expected. Baltimore. in Pittsburgh. That's the most expected. thing of all time. Remember had a show. at an arena that lasted four hours in. Pittsburgh. >> Yeah. Only one fight. >> One fight. That was a. >> pretty good. >> Nobody's talking about it. >> Big threat. >> We're the only ones that have celebrated. that fact. >> Everybody else is like shouldn't have.

one. It's like, have you been to. Pittsburgh for 10 minutes? >> Yeah. >> Whenever everybody's doing their thing, >> Baltimore people were traveling into. Pittsburgh. They thought the game was. over with 220 left. >> Imagine the things that the. >> They thought the game was over two. seconds. >> Right before the field goal. >> Yeah. 44 yards. >> Yeah. >> Standing up. >> Oh my god. Fourth and seven. Lightning. gets that catch immediately. [ __ ] you. Everybody probably getting it right. there in ear shot. >> Oh yeah. >> Bang you. Bang. Cuz these are the fans.

that travel to Pittsburgh to watch the. game live. That's a certain different. >> they're ready. >> style of fan as well to be able to. handle that type of situation right. here. Oh my god. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. Probably with other words. being said. And the Pittsburgh people. just have to sit there in complete. disbelief. I can't believe it's just. happened right in our face. >> It was fourth and seven. Are you kidding. me? They had to be real quiet in that. moment. >> The hell is Highmith doing 30 yards down. the field. >> So many things being questioned by. Yenszers and all the Baltimore people.

are saying eat [ __ ] This is all. shitsburg. and then this guy hops on the field for. a 44 y and then place goes ape [ __ ] and. every Baltimore person has to shrive up. [ __ ] punk right in there. Yeah. Get. out. Did you see what they did with the. uh left wing on uh for the Ravens on. this kick? >> No. >> They took him and they moved him to the. middle to deal with the jumper. >> I I don't know if I've ever seen that. before. >> No, that's just picking up work. >> Okay, >> that's picking up work. The um I think.

I've heard it said before. I don't know. if anybody's actually doing it cuz. normally on the outside there's going to. be some sort of rush. As soon as he saw. how wide that guy was, he said there's. no chance he's going to make it in there. because being able to get it from there. to the point, you have to be very fast. I mean, Da, you'll know more. Old buddy. knew he was too wide. Probably not never. going to make it cuz you're you're. racing a clock there. You know, you're. racing a clock there. >> What's the operation time? >> 13130. 125 1.25 seconds from snap to when the. ball is kicked normally. And loop looks.

like he's a little closer to the ball. So probably like 128 129 if I had to. guess on this particular one. So if. you're never going to be able to get. there in 1.3 seconds, uh you can kind of. look for more work. That's a big time. move though cuz if that guy on the edge. gets there, >> oh boy. I mean, he was just kind of. eyeballing it there. Yeah. It don't look. like he can get in. >> Yeah. Not from that angle. >> You ever block one? >> Not in the league. No. No. Actually, no. >> College. >> That's tough. >> Yeah. >> I don't It is like I guess Miles. Garrett. Uh, what was his get off? Mina. had. >> Yeah, I would have to run back.

tweet 23. >> and he already has the fastest get off. >> Faster than Usain Bolt. >> Faster than Usain Bolt. Yeah, >> that's an insane get off especially for. the the record breaker or whatever. say. >> that's what you have to do. >> No, >> no, he moved before a ball right right. as the ball is moving for the field. goal. >> Like you have to have that get off and. then you also have to hope that you. don't get a good rip. It's like a lot of. luck involved there too. So not only is. it insane get off and massive explosion. and being all that it is very difficult.

to block a kick. That's why these big. boys in the middle have been getting. them. >> because they people have been really. eating up the middle. >> and getting the chops at the top. I. think kicking might slow down, might. become more arena-like for guys to get. the ball. >> Just. forecasting a little bit here because. the big boys in the middle were getting. bigger and faster and more. >> Jared Vers, >> guys are just getting their hands up to. like. >> Yeah, first. Yeah, he's just got. >> against Atlanta. >> That was crazy. >> He rolled right in.

>> and then it's just like, yeah, go ahead. >> Go ahead. Where are you going? >> A dodge. >> It is. That's a huge play. That's. insanity to think about. I can't believe. Tyler Luke missed that. I I'm Man, this. is a big offseason for him. Paige, this. is a big offseason for him. He's going. to have to go off social media. >> He's going to have. >> I felt for him right away. Even though I. went I was glad. I was very happy with. it watching my kids all win the Steelers. to win. And we said, "Hey, they were. they were devastated when uh likely. caught that. I was like, "Hey, still got. to make the kick, man." Like, still got.

to make a kick that nothing's. guaranteed. has to be a good snap, good. hold, and a good kick all at the same. time happening like a symphony with good. synergy. Yep, exactly. >> You know, all that is taking place and. uh. >> any kick would obviously be missed that. move in like that though. >> But [ __ ] Boswell's. >> kick looked damn near same slice almost. So for that to happen, right, like that. I mean right down the middle at first. Yeah. >> Yeah. And that's not a Bos miss either, but Bos that ball normally stays true.

for Bos, you know. There might be a little movement, but. that's half an up. >> That's crazy. And it was crazy to watch. uh Cam Little's like that draw he had on. this because it started [laughter] like. outside and then carried like. >> he's a real talent. >> Watching these kicks, man. >> Kicker's a big deal, brother. >> Huge. >> Chris Boswell, I guess, is also getting. u some Yinszer heat. I believe Yenszers. are asking. >> They won. >> Shouldn't miss that extra point, pal. >> Okay. Yeah, you're all pro. Maybe best. in the game. We need you to make an. extra point whenever [ __ ] a seor on.

the line. Okay. >> With some other things sprinkled in, >> I assume. >> Is that accurate? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> He hit a 57 yard though. >> He did. >> Pure Sure. >> Yeah. >> I I mean, I would be singing a different. tune if Fluke didn't miss that kick. But. >> yeah, if they lost by one, >> you'd be so pissed. >> Be so pissed. Oh my god. Everybody boss, you're going to be good. >> Hey Luke, you're going to be good too, buddy. >> Oh yeah, Luke. >> You're going to be better because of. this. Doesn't feel like it now. And. obviously nobody is happy with it. Nobody. And you should not be like.

definitely have to make that kick. He's. going to be better for that long term. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall. we? Is from Mark Zinci spinning a ball. on his finger. He's an athlete. # I. don't want to overreact but watching. Statue Bulls run the show while the. Bucks had one of the worst collapses in. NFL history. Knowing Liam Cohen was. right here, turned Baker into a star, built an elite offense, and is now. thriving elsewhere while we're stuck. with Todd was heartbreaking. >> Sorry about it, Mark. They're not moving. on either. >> Is that was that announced today? >> Well, that's what Cheffy said. He said,

you know, again, he heard that about the. Cardinals and Ganon. So, you never know. But they have not said once that he is. on the hot seat or he's going to be. fired. And they've been calling for his. job for the last really 10 weeks. >> It stinks cuz they were fun to watch. >> Yeah. Awesome. >> Vina are rolling too. >> Just the whole thing is so cool. >> MVP favorite. >> The first first six weeks. >> My god. Mike Evans. They're five and. one, right? >> Yeah. Five and one. Ibuka, who was the. rookie of the year, like he. >> This is multiple times now. When When.

was it a couple years ago? We were at. the Texas State Fair and Baker joined. us. >> Yeah. >> They were really That was the beginning. of season. They were real good. >> Yep. >> And then something happened. What. happens? >> That's what people were asking. >> Exactly. >> That's a good question. Last year, lost. at home in the playoffs to the. Commanders. [sighs]. >> It did. >> On a last second field goal. >> I remember that. Imagine that loops. >> Exactly. >> And they go back and win. That's a whole. different thing. Okay. You don't use. that as a verb. You're going to kill. him, man. >> You know what I meant? >> Yeah. Like what if he kick cuz that ball.

should have went in that ball. >> Now Danowski did a good film. >> Yeah, [laughter] he did. >> He sent it to to me this morning. >> He referenced you. He ref I saw it live. today. Yeah. >> Oh, did he reference me? That's good. I'm happy to hear. >> He said like I I I confirmed this with. Pat McAfee and Greeny. I think McAfee. checked off on it. We're okay. Like they. they they gave you your. >> good impressions. Yeah, >> it was really good cuz Orvski sent it to. me this morning and he was like, "Am I. crazy or what?" was like the the caption.

when he sent it to me. >> Look at this dude. >> And it was him recording on his. computer, you know, and I don't know, coming over at like 6:07 a.m. probably. I'm sitting in 194° sauna with I got a. sauna cap now. >> I got a sauna cap now, so I feel like. I'm saving my hair. The only one I could. get in time was a Viking one, so I look. like an [ __ ]. >> That's sick. >> He's That's what I'm doing. just, you. know, Dan Rolski sent me over this. I'm. sitting there dying sweat scrolling. through the internet trying to see. what's happening in the world. And am I. crazy or what? So I I look at it. He was.

pretty accurate. So every single make. that loop hits, you know, full head down. all the way follow through cuz the the. thing that it's taught is basically like. you're looking to be looking down past. your leg still at the spot as the ball. is flying. And I think it's just kind of. taught that so like you stay in it, you. know, like you're supposed to stay in. it. But I told uh Orlowski, yes, certainly matters cuz in his last one, he like lifts his head up with the kick. almost and it's like um certainly could. be a problem of him not being all the. way in it, not trusting it, trying to. guide it and he could probably showcase.

it by that. Or also as soon as he kicked. it, he knew he wasn't good and he wanted. to look at it, you know, like which one. leads to what? Like does your head down. lead to good ball contact or does bad. ball contact lead to your head coming up. because you want to see how shitty it. is, you know? So there's it could go. either way. I think only Luke would. know, but uh feels like he knew. immediately that that thing wasn't going. in. And I I hate that for him cuz that's. a soon as he looks up, he's hoping to. [ __ ] god that that thing somehow was. going straight and then it's not. And uh. it's only going more that way because.

the father blessed the old. >> That's true. Exactly. >> That's a tough time. I hope he's okay. Good luck, bud. >> Good luck. >> Let's go to top Villa Royale at Mr. Villa Royale 32. # I don't want to. overreact. But it's over for the Niners. yet again when the lights are the. brightest. Kyle Shanahan shits the. [ __ ] B. Salah had his defense ready. Shanahan outsmarted himself again and. had zero answers from Mike McDonald. Kyle can't win the big games. What a. joke. McDonald's been able to do this to. everybody. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I think some people are. underestimating how good the Seattle.

Seahawks defense is. And on the. offensive side, I was disappointed in. what that Niners offense looked like. three points after what you know Brock P. and offense were able to do the two. games leading up to this is a very tough. defense but three points and then every. time every one of these games you see. that second half stat from Shanahan's. tenure which is insane I don't know the. exact stat so I don't want to mess it up. >> he's down by 10 points in the second. half. >> insane never won. >> like insane for him and and obviously. the great offensive coach that he is to.

not be able to we all think you know. adjust uh down the stretch of the game. so that was very alarming going into the. playoffs because with the defense, you. don't think it's a a lock down defense. that you're going to hold teams to 17 19. points. Great celebration. So, offense. going to need to score some points. So, that was very alarming if you are a. Niners fan. >> Did he do some sexual innuendos there? >> He did a little bit. >> He did. >> He did. >> I don't want to be, you know, dry. snitching, but he's lucky he didn't get. a penalty right there. Hey, with how. these refs have been calling this,

that's incredibly uh unlucky there going. in to score. Christian McCaffrey makes a. move. I appreciate that. You know, the. big guys got a little wiggle here. Hey, >> they got a little wiggle here. But I. want to let you know these refs these. days, they're calling that. >> Yeah, they are calling that. You got a. spotlight on. Is that sexual? Got pick. his nose. Is that gang related activity? >> Can't have it. >> How do you deem something sexual? That's. like a personal preference, I think. >> Yeah, cuz that honestly I guess we just.

learn about the refs a little bit, you. know? >> Yeah. Like is the ref hard? Is that then. he throws the flag? >> That's actually a good question. >> Like that's a that's a very like. specific thing I think of what people. are into. I don't know how you make that. a rule. >> Good question. [laughter]. >> Like a guy doing push-ups. Is that. sexual? Probably for somebody. [laughter]. >> Oh man. >> You're right. Age. Hey, you never know. I guess everybody's into their own. things, you know, cuz push-up could be. pretty. >> You never know. >> Yeah. Sexual.

>> sitting down. You know, we learned about. what was going on those hammocks. >> Exactly. Exactly. >> Oh, mushing it through there. [laughter]. >> That's what I'm saying. I guess we never. know. It's in the eye of the uh. >> beholder. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> It's tough. >> I I think we should reward that rule. >> Yeah. >> I think we should take the subjectivity. out of it. I think there should be. strict sexual references that are not. allowed. >> Mhm. >> Just in case some of these refs start. thinking themselves, I've seen that done. before. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Cuz my first thought is hula hoop.

>> Boom. >> Oh, same thing. >> Oh, good call. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Good call. >> Mine was definitely helicopter and. penis. >> Ah, see, >> I think unless a guy actually takes his. dick out and starts helicoptering it. though, we should be flagging. >> Hulu. >> Yeah, >> that was a huloop. [laughter]. >> Clearly a hula hoop. Shout out to the. boys hula hooping over there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Let's go to the next one. Doesn't. matter. Combat Bernardo. Respect. #I. don't want to react, but being a Colts. fan is worse for my mental health than. my tour in Afghanistan was.

>> a 10th season. >> Whoa. >> of playoffs or bust. What the actual. [ __ ] are the Colts doing? How many times. are we going to throw this [ __ ] at the. wall, watch it slide down, and then do. it again? That's a great question. Does. it matter, brother? It does matter. We. appreciate you, man. Thanks for your. service, United States. Boy, it does feel like those 94enters. uh before the season are backing louder. than ever. >> Yeah, >> there was a poll done, AJ, if you do. recall. What's your optimism level going.

into the season? Colts were dead last. 94% of the fans said, "We think we're. going to be ass.". >> Feels like they're backing louder than. ever at this moment. >> Yeah. >> Remember, we got a lot of good guys. >> Yeah, >> we like our guys. >> Lack our guys. >> Yeah. Good for you. >> When's your next first round pick? >> So, I've been thinking about that. There's some deals I've crafted in my. head that could potentially get us a. one. >> Okay, >> we have some pieces. I think there's. some non-negotiables. Okay, Quinton Nelson can't. He's cult. for life. Need him. Especially he's. becoming a vocal leader. We need him.

Deorest Buckner had surgery. If he's. still playing, I don't know. It was a. neck. I don't I don't know what the. future is. I don't think we really. talked about the Forest Buckner much. He. came and played and then he was out. again. Very worried about that. Then he. had surgery. I think it went well. I. think from what I'm hearing, A's. non-negotiable. Everybody else I think should be. available. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> I think Patriots would Yeah, I think. Patriots would send you two, maybe a one. for Leatu Latu. Um.

maybe Cam B. >> Tyler Warren's not going anywhere, especially first half of season. Tyler. Warren. >> Yeah, I assumed he was also off the. table. >> Yeah, Tyler Warren's not going anywhere. Sorry. That was a good call. Leatu Lu. Who else? >> Uh Cam Binham. Um, yeah, I could probably get a second. fetch a second for that. >> We gave you s uh pennies on the dollar. for sauce. >> Like two4s maybe. >> That's not We're not in that business. That's not what we're doing. That's not. what we're doing. >> What are you looking for? >> That deal's pretty close right there. That would have to be a one. I love Leu.

He's He's a ball hawk. He's a dog. He's. absolutely. >> Oh, never mind. Can't Can't trade for. him. He got that Colts tattoo on his. shoulder. >> That's part of his story. >> Yeah, guys. >> That's just part of his story. >> That's fine. There'll be a AQ Shipley. has a full Raven on his back and then. he's got a Pittsburgh Steel Bridge and. he's [clears throat] got a quote horse. >> Yeah. Does he really? >> Yes, actually. >> Every team like every team he play. >> Yeah, he's got his life story on there. Life story on there. Yep. >> Not everything. >> Yeah. Every every part of [laughter]. every part of his life is on there. But.

I'm just saying we could make some. moves. Bundle some pieces. Get some. stuff. We still have two, three, four, five, six, seven picks. >> which he eats in. >> Uhhuh. Pierce. What round was he? >> You know it. >> I think he's a free. >> second round. But he's a second round. pick. I'm saying. >> Oh, yeah. >> He Ballard [ __ ] eats, bro. In the. second, third, and fourth round. He. does. >> Yes, he does. Where's Josh D? >> Third. >> Third round. >> Yeah. Jonathan Taylor second round. >> Boom. >> See, now we're talking. >> See, Ballard cooks.

>> Oh, he just doesn't like first round. picks. >> Well, that's the best freaking. Quint. Yeah. >> And to Forest Buckner. We gave up to. Forest for a first rounder. >> Yeah. That's two. two out of 10 years. >> two for sauce. >> and we don't know how that's going to. be. Okay. He got I mean. >> he's picking first in the draft. >> Him getting hurt was tough. Both times. he got hurt was tough very early in the. games. >> So it's not even like we saw him in the. game. It was like first play of game. happens both times. It's like so. excited. >> Sauce is playing.

>> No, he's not. So next year we got full. sauce. I completely forgot about full. sauce. >> You didn't see he's picking first in the. draft? >> No. What do you mean by it? uh this. season over the 17 games uh he had the. worst record in the NFL cuz that's not. him. >> It's not him. He's a lockown corner. You. throw at him. >> I saw that cuz he came out and said. >> and everybody was attacking him for. saying that. >> It's like Sauce Carter. He's a corner. >> What's he supposed to say? >> Yeah. They're going to talk their [ __ ]. like that. It's kind of what corners do. Then he deleted it. >> I didn't like that. Is that But then I. was told that's what he does.

>> That was M. >> That's his thing. He will put something. in and he's taking it done. >> Which I kind of like even more. >> Get off your chest then. All right. >> Snapchat for Twitter. >> Good gam. >> Yeah, it's not bad. >> Now granted, >> I don't know if it was the right time to. do it, you know, in the situation that. has been happening, but hey, a lot of. people failing to respect what he has. been able to accomplish on a football. field. He's potential locked down. Now, who else did we get? Ward. >> Ward, who uh is considering retirement. >> Was that the pregame injury? >> Yeah,

>> that was crazy. >> Been through a lot. So yeah, I thought. so. Whenever we talk about like excuses. for why a team doesn't do well, >> it's like I guess they exist a lot for. every year of the Colts. They need Sage. over there. They need to sage it. They. need Father Maxameleian Maxwell. >> to get over here and throw some some of. that holy war. >> Trade a second round pick for him about. that. >> Colts. >> Yeah. >> We worth it. >> Father Max. >> Maxillion. >> Yeah. >> He ain't a second round. >> Okay. >> We don't have a one, brother. >> Coconut husk. you know, to offer a.

percentage, maybe. >> Why do our guys problem, >> dude? That's another question. >> I mean, >> what's your training staff doing? >> Working. >> Um, what? >> Too many guys, brothers. We got We got. too many guys in there all the time. Let's get to the next overreaction. I. did appreciate that. That was a good. one, though. >> Mhm. I thought so. >> And thanks for your service, sir. Kyle. B, the Polish Jabron 91. [laughter]. # I don't want to overreact, but this. team went from selling tickets for a. $180 16 months ago to hosting its first.

playoff game in a decade this Saturday. night. What a time to be alive. # keep. pounding. Congrats, Carolina. >> Like the optimism. >> I don't even know if 180 was possible. because of the fees and everything. I. think they were actually paying people. to come to the games. Shout out to Ter, shout out to the Panthers. Turn that. entire thing around quickly. And uh. obviously the record's not the best in. the NFL, but hosting a playoff game, what that can do for a community, a. city, a fan base, everything. Special. special stuff down in Carolina happening. and only up from here, right, H? Only up.

from here for Carolina. >> Oh, yeah. I would expect that atmosphere. to be off the charts Saturday night. That that team I I would imagine the. fans look around and say, "Man, look. like look at where we were and here we. are in the playoffs with an actual. chance to win it all.". >> Bryce Young was benched within the last. 12 months. I mean there there's so much. so much to talk about with the Carolina. Panthers and how they've gotten to this. spot. Record not the greatest, but in. playoffs win NFC South craziness deep. >> Yeah, seems like Dan Morgan uh was a. pretty good hire. I love what T-Mac was. able to do this year out at wide.

receiver he developed. He was great. Coker, these guys, the back field, the. combo in the back field with um Donald. and Huard. Uh they got the pieces. They. just got to get uh you know more week in. and week out. They got to be the same. team. I feel like it's a little too up. and down. But they are hosting the Rams. coming in. They already have the. confidence. They beat them a few weeks. ago. So, we'll see. >> They are uh I believe 8-0 cuz it was 7-0. coming to this. 8-0 uh off of a loss. against a spread. So, they're off a. loss. >> Spread's 10 and a half. Maybe they maybe.

they make it 9 and0. >> Death taxes. Panthers potentially cover. uh after a loss. 10 and a half's a lot. of points. Uh feel like the people think. I think DraftKings thinks that the LA. Rams about to play their best football. in the biggest stage. >> Yeah. Is that the biggest home dog in. the history of the NFL playoffs for a. game? I mean, the only one that I can. think of is Saints at Seahawks when. Marshall Lynch with the Beastake. Yeah, >> 10 and a half's a lot. >> That's insane. >> That's a lot of points. All right, let's. get to the next overreaction. Speaking. of the beastquake, uh, this from Ryan. BS. # I don't overreact,

>> but. >> I was told the 49ers team was on a. heater these past few weeks. Look pretty. [ __ ] to me. Tough, gritty wins is what. this team is made of. It's no longer who. have they beat. It's now who you have to. beat. Seahawks, Super Bowl, book it. I'll tell you what, them being home. field throughout the entirety of the. playoffs is potentially very sick for. the NFL as a whole. As the numbers go. up, getting a chance to showcase our. greatest environment that the NFL has in.

a lot of people's eyes. Lumen Field up. there, the Seattle Seahawks. I uh I'm. excited for this team to go on a run and. with a great defense with that uh crowd. if he can run the ball, which they. seemingly have proven to do. Oh yeah. >> Why not? The Seattle Seahawks, the. number one seed in the NFC. >> Why not? We always talk about defense. and being able to run the ball in the. playoffs. Always going to come down to. that quarterback as well. We know he has. at least one weapon with JSN who, you. know, was on a record-breaking pace this. year that you're going to find in those. clutch moments. So, we'll see us all out.

there for a win two games during the. Super Bowl. So, you're saying Sam. Darnold though can make the big plays? >> You did? >> No, we've seen him make. We just got to. see him on this stage. >> He did. >> I'm not saying he can't. We just got to. see. As [ __ ] that's the case with a lot. of these quarterbacks on the big stage. right now. >> Yeah, especially in the AFC. AFC's got a. lot of zero wins next to their. quarterbacks teams. >> Yeah, but the last game was like a. playoff game cuz it was for a number one. seed. >> That's true. >> No, not really. Even if he lost, he'd. have still been there. >> Yeah, but it was, you know, >> you've been you've been in playoff. games. It's it's it's a.

>> that's a good stat. It's a different. different ball game. >> It's vastly different than but for a. number one seed for number one seed you. see for a number one seed playoff wins. among playoff quarterbacks obviously a. lot of guys that haven't been there a. lot of guys who haven't tasted it a lot. of guys getting their first crack at it. who will be able to bust through and. become a legend or will one of the old. guard take it home that's what the. playoffs are all about. Let's go to the. next overreaction shall we? This is from. Phil Lip at lip Phil # I don't want to.

overreact. But Zack Taylor needs to be. forcibly extracted from his home exactly. like Maduro was. [laughter] That is the. only way the Bengals will rid their fans. of the abomination they call coaching. staff. If I have to go through 10 more. years of white Marvin Lewis, I may just. have to go into a coma. Fire Zack, fire. Duke, save Joe. That's pretty good of. reaction out of Cincinnati. had his. approved 10 out of 10. >> But Phil Lip knew year left on both.

contracts. >> Exactly. Not not a chance. >> They're going nowhere. >> I paid two coaches. >> Hey, Marvin Lewis be loved by everybody, you know. So maybe Zack Taylor does. become the Caucasian version of that. It. is a wild time to be a Bengals fan. It. feels like especially with Joe Burrow. being as good as he is and the reality. that they're probably never going to. actually win anything again. They missed. it whenever they were taking on the. Rams. Yeah, it'll be very interesting to. see what like are they going to like. rehaul their entire roster? They can't. really. And you know, I know a lot I. don't think it's fair. A lot of people. are saying all Joe Caro uh Joe Burrow.

cared about on Sunday was his [ __ ]. hair. >> Okay, that was a tough press conference. >> Well, I'm just saying, you know, a lot. of people saying that. >> he did say that he believes in the like. what what they're doing, what their. vision is, but to Tai's point, um do. those cap hits for Jamar and T and. himself go down? Now you guys never. understand this. Okay, those cap heads. don't go down. And you know what else. doesn't Sometimes when you got calick in. your hair, they don't go down. >> Is this edited? >> No, that's what it was. He was trying to.

He was battling two calics. Okay, for. those that don't know, I got a lot of. these in my hair. Age, I don't know if. you have any because obviously you go. ahead and take that thing straight back. So, good for you. But, you know, I have. some uh some parts of my hair where it's. only going to go one direction. Yeah. No. matter what I'm thinking. So, growing it. out is an interesting thing. him having. a battle on the national stage like this. with a Catholic that's just not. cooperating certainly uh not the f but. he should have taken he knows what to do. with that thing. >> Yeah, >> he if he would have taken that son [ __ ]. over top that thing would have had a. wave on it like he was a model. It would. have been like he was a model there.

Instead he just fought that thing for a. good minute and a half, two minutes. >> And it is annoying. Like I I do want to. kind of emphasize how irritating this is. when your hair is getting in your face, getting in front of your eyes. >> Just a tickling of the face and a. blocking of a view, you know, like a. block of the view. Certainly something. he right now he wants to pull. He wants. to lose his mind. >> Yeah. >> And you would have thought maybe after. one of them though like like maybe the. fifth one hair would have. >> sure. >> done something.

>> Exactly. >> That [ __ ] was nowhere near. >> you got to shake it sometimes. into it. >> Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. >> He should have taken the top over, I. think. I think he should have done the. over gimmick. >> I would love to see that. >> Or just put something in it, Joe. >> Joe believes in the system over there in. Cincy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, certainly. Why Why wouldn't he? He's getting paid a [ __ ] Kings. ransom. You know, half the season he's. saying, "This ain't [ __ ] fun. I don't. even like playing football." And uh. >> he never said he didn't like playing. football. >> No, he didn't. He said he didn't like. winning. But I'll tell you what, you.

know what? We'll see. Maybe next year. they go with the exact same team minus. Trey Hendrickson and whoever else. they're going to lose. Maybe they go 13. and four and they kind of say [ __ ] you. to everybody else. We're going to score. 75 points a game and that's how we're. going to win football games. >> They might. >> They might do that. >> I could see that. >> That'd be so much fun to watch if they. scoring 75 a game. >> I know. >> Got a good pick. >> What number? >> Somewhere in the top 18. >> Cuz your ass. >> Yeah. >> Let's get to the next overreaction, shall we? The Colts don't even have one.

of those. >> No. Exactly. >> No, that sucks. >> BC, we might have one by draft time. Let's not get crazy. BC Fries or Freeze. at BC Freeze. # I don't want to. overreact, but it's the greatest 24. hours in the history of Falcons. football. Beat the HS Raheem gone. Terry. gone. Rich McKay gone. >> This feels like a dream. And now the. GOAT Matty Ice is going to step in and. make all the decisions. Take us to the. Super Bowl. # rise up says BC Freeze. What a time. I know local sports media. is definitely excited. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We've been listening to some of.

that over the past couple months. They've been calling for change down. there in Atlanta. Pronto. Yeah. >> Who's going to get the gig down there? Gigs, I guess. >> I don't know. It's a great question. They got some talent, too, especially on. that defensive side of the ball. Uh. James Pierce Jr., he broke their rookie. sack record. We saw Xavier Watts on. prime time make a couple huge plays. Rookie safety out of Notre Dame. They. definitely have some talent. Obviously, you have to figure out the quarterback. situation. Uh but yeah, I've I've seen. nothing but this reaction from the few. Falcons fans that I know on like X and.

[ __ ] which is surprising because from. the outside looking in, I thought Raheem. was going to get another opportunity. I. think what this two years and then he's. out after that after 89 season, they. kind of finished uh on a positive end. They were 4- one in prime time, which. the casuals who just watched Falcons. then are like, how the hell is this team. where they are? So, I guess that's a. good reason to move on from the coach. But uh yeah, this has pretty much been. the fan base's reaction. >> I think Terry Fontnau. >> Mhm. >> is a big one, too. >> Super winning GM. Terry Fontno. >> Exactly. From the fans, I think they're.

excited. Rich McKay as well. I I think. they're just excited here. There's going. to be a new bunch maybe running it all. Beatles in there. Used to be president. of Atlanta Falcons, now president and. CEO. We saw that. We learned about him. And then Sportology and ZRG, two outside. independent consulting firms, will be. coming in to help them with everything. else. That'll work out big. >> It'll work out great. >> That's massive. >> That is massive. Maybe get three of. them. Maybe get three consultants. >> The trifecta. >> Yeah, cuz. >> How many total people you think come in? >> 200.

>> consulting wise. I think I saw uh a. roster of eight on the Sportology one. I. think I was looking at that one. ZRG. could be endless. You never know because. there might be an assistant to the. expert on, >> you know. Exactly. >> How many consultants do they have? >> Yeah. Exactly. Well, and also they got. their own corporate structure of. consultancy. Yep. You know, because. there is a chief consultant officer. >> Yeah. >> Let alone who's under the CC, >> junior consultant officer, >> prior consultant officer like it's a. youth consultant. I don't know if there.

is. >> that's for the lower tier stuff. >> Oh, that's like the um. >> junior program. >> junior junior junior consultant. >> who they then elevate. What do they. consult with when they're not consulting. with NFL football teams? Well, consulting obviously they're consulting. with. >> what other companies what other kind of. companies do we know? >> Well, they consult amongst themselves. about consulting so they can be the best. consulting that any consultant could be. >> Uh so I think they're ready to. consultant about anything, you know, and. that's the part about being a great. consultant consulting firm.

>> These things talk to each other. >> Yeah. And these things do like to. gossip. So within this consultant's. consulting firm, there's certainly. gossiping happening about one consultant. strategy versus another consultant. strategy. And then they got to consult. about the consulting strategies and then. you think to yourself, well, who's the. consultant and who's the consult? >> Yeah, bingo. >> It's a fair question. >> And uh that's kind of what it's all. about whenever you start consulting. stuff. Now, I am looking at a lineup. here and there's a previous and a next. button. So there I mean I think there's.

a lot. >> Oh yeah, >> I think there's a lot of these people. One of one down there. Here's the. consulting firm that. >> Oh, Len Pera's on the team. I didn't. know that. >> Yes. and Kelly Lewis and Brian Lick. We. know we know Brian Lick obviously very. well. Rick Allesandre. No, this guy. knows his stuff. This guy knows this. coach. >> Can you scroll up and we see who this. is? >> This consulty uh meet our consultants. Our collaboration and seasoned executive. search consultants span industries, functions, and regions. Based out of 28. office locations, we have successfully.

placed candidates in over 30 countries. All right. You ain't turning us off. [laughter]. >> 30 countries. >> Oh man. A lot of ball being played. >> Geez, >> they ain't no ball. >> They better done it. >> Soccer, any ball, tennis, ball. >> Greg Beatles, named president and CEO. Congrats, Greg. [applause]. >> So, they got two consulting firms needed. while the president is promoted. Need two consulting things for business. President promoted of business.

>> Yeah. Checks out. >> Tight ship. >> Rise up. >> That's right. Guess what? They get it. right. >> Rise up. >> Yep. >> It'll be all around the league. >> It's the only thing that matters. >> Mhm. >> Get it right. Win a Super Bowl. Good. luck out there. We're pulling for you. >> You think Brady's using a consulting. firm? >> I think uh he is the consultant. I think. that's probably why he was given. ownership, though. And I I don't mind. that, you know? I don't mind the Tom. Brady consultant. I I don't like. independent uh.

>> Was he running? >> What do I know? No, we don't own a. [ __ ] team. What do we know? >> Was he running last year when they hired. Pete? I believe he was involved. Yeah. >> So, >> yeah, cuz he was, you know, like he was. the one who loves Spy Techch cuz they. worked together in T. >> Remember Tommy? >> Exactly. Kind of a prove it year. >> Yeah. >> Big hire. Tommy boy. >> Mhm. >> For Tom Brady. >> Mhm. >> Kind of is. I guess. Didn't really think. about that. >> Yeah. I mean, I didn't know who you were. talking about 4 seconds before you said. it cuz that's feels like my brain would. have never thought we're talking about. Tom [laughter] Brady. >> One of the owners of the team.

>> Yeah. There's I believe there's a bunch. of minority owners being added to the. Raiders, by the way, that do a lot of. business. Like a lot of people There's a. lot of brains about to be in the Raiders. organization, I think. How do they all. What do they all. >> Where's Mark? Is he still just upstairs. playing on his Game Boy? >> Maybe. I think he upgraded to PS5. Is. that what you were playing? >> That's smart. Yes, I was. >> PS5 is [ __ ] awesome. >> How was your weekend? Is that what you. were playing on? >> I was playing Rock Band all weekend, dude. Yes. Yes. I was playing Rock Band. 4 all weekend on the PS5, which is a PS4.

game. I uh realized it's gone much. harder. Some of the combinations between. the hands, I almost hurt my hand. I. think I pulled the muscle on my. shoulder. >> Yeah. Getting after. >> actually from doing I woke up on Sunday. like, "Fuck, man. What' I do?" It might. have been because of Rock Band 4. >> I had a roommate my freshman year, Scott. Kazowski. Went on to be a very good. punter for West Virginia. He was so good. at the game. >> Love it. >> Quiet. Okay. I'm tired sleeping. You're. in a dorm room. It's open room. He has. it turned down, gentleman. Very nice of. him doing that. The sound of his fingers.

hitting the thing wake me up because he. was. >> He was so good. I I mean, he had to be. the greatest of of all time. I He did. the thing. shredding. There's some of you out. there, right? You used to be one of. those. >> Yeah. Back in the day. I'm getting. there. I'm getting back up. The cool. part with these new guitars is it was. all up here. You can kind of go in this. casual mode and it's not casual. You're. still playing on expert. Still. shredding, but it's down here. So you. don't have to move as much and it's not. as loud. It's just much more like you. got to be much more precise because the.

the buttons are smaller. They're like. this instead of like this. >> It's awesome. >> I was never really good at that. >> It's so fun. >> Microphone with the bop and sing that. thing. >> Which also can do with the PlayStation. controller now. I learned. >> I can bop and sing into my PlayStation. controller. >> Yeah, cuz it has a microphone on it. >> Yeah. Well, you don't want to hold that. You want to [ __ ]. >> Yeah, you can. You can sing a mic. >> Yeah, true. Yeah. >> Yeah. You mic on that shitty ass mic. that they used to have. >> Oh, >> tough. Awesome. >> Rock Band had a good run. >> So good. >> Oh yeah. >> Still going. >> Hammer drunk people trying to play that. late at night Rock Band. Just an.

awesome. >> Certainly. >> Or that [ __ ] dance game with the. arrows. >> Yeah. I can see. bone just crushing. >> Do you remember that guy? There's some. guy that really beat the game. >> The hands on the back of the thing. >> Yeah. >> Do you remember that? There was a couple. experts on that [ __ ] I happened upon. one, I believe, at an arcade if my. memory serves. >> In the wild. Yes, in the wild. I. happened upon one. >> and it was holy. I remember just being. completely captivated. I. >> I assume I was having a good time and I.

assume I Yeah, I think it's coming back. to I think it was in LA somewhere. They. had a uh like so I was always up on a. stage. Remember up on a stage had. lighting, music was very loud. It was. like a show and I remember just being. captivated and this right on the back. First person I saw used the back thing. as like actual leverage. Crushed. >> Genius. >> Absolutely [ __ ] killed. I think I. tipped the person. [laughter] I think I. if I if I recall I I think I tipped the. Yeah, you used the back as like a a real. leverage. >> You shouldn't be able to hold the back.

>> That's what it's there for. That That's. what the person was telling me. >> No, that's for old geriatrics not to. fall over and break their hip. You. should if you're dancing. You should be. dancing. >> Yeah, but what if they're doing this? And this seems to be a doubler as well. >> This guy ain't dancing dominating. >> These aren't real dance moves when. you're holding the bar. >> Nope. >> Yeah, but they're [ __ ] getting after. it. >> I mean, he's got good feet. It does. Give me a corner. >> DDR brought quick feet out, you know, but the hand on the back thing, the rail. really changed the game. Speaking of. changing the game, Luke Litler, holy. [ __ ]. >> man.

>> Back to back, dude. >> Unbelievable. >> Back to back world [ __ ] champion down. there at Ali Pali. Listen, they threw a. wasp at him. >> They're trying to get Luke Luke Litler. attacked by a wasp in the middle of his. setup. I mean, we're only seeing the. tail end of this thing. Him kind of. dodging weaving. Thank god he's got, you. know, good moves. Hey, it's for a. million bucks. He was lined up to get. this. And then all of a sudden, this. wasp comes, he moves, ducks, dodges, ducks, dips, dives, and dodge. And then. he gets right back. As soon as this wasp. leaves, I don't know if we have it on.

camera. We don't have it. He steps right. back up. Boom, boom, boom. Grabs him, keeps him moving. And then the guy. calling US GOES, "WHAT THE 42?". And the place goes crazy. It was [ __ ]. electrifying. I I would love to watch. And then Shane Gillis's ass, he's in. [ __ ] attendance there. I mean, it. looked outrageous. And Luke Litler is. mustwatch darts television. >> Yeah. And you mentioned there, George. Noble, shout out to him. He he went into. the Hall of Fame, the announcer. He's. done. John McDonald also, uh, he he went.

into Thank you for your service, gentlemen. But yeah, this was one of the. greatest sporting events I've ever. watched, bar none. Like, we talk a lot. about, you know, some of the the finals. like Wimbledon and tennis and even the. four majors with golf. Like that's kind. of where I'm putting darts at now in my. brain at least. I am a casual to start. But I mean the Premier League of darts. starts in February. Should be great. Liter unconscious though. You know. Gueian Vanvine had no chance and he. tried to up the Moxy. There's George. Noble. Shout out legend. But and he. tried to kind of get it done van but.

once the door was shut by Litler. Yeah. He really just had no chance. >> At the beginning though Luke was missing. the opportunities. You see that down. their legs and then obviously. >> six. 80 [screaming]. oh. they start chanting out there. I I mean. it is electrifying. You see that one set. down there at the bottom. Well, you got. to get to five legs, I believe, to get. to one set. Then we're trying to get to. seven sets, okay? Is what you're trying. to do. That first set was won by who?

>> Van Litler lost coming out. Litler was. ice cold. Could have put it away. actually lost and then he walked off the. stage with incredible boxy. Then he came. back afterwards and he had that foot. sideways good lean and all of a sudden. it was one day. [screaming]. >> look there's a weapon over there. >> Yeah, it was tied and Vanvine was up 2. um go on the third set and then all of a. sudden boom here reel [laughter] that. there it is. At one point, at one point.

he won like 14 of 15 sets. Like Van Bev. was just getting shut out. >> So right on the side, don't play this. Put the screen on the screen though. Don't play it. So triple 20, triple 20. Bullseye will do it, right? So once you. get under 180, they start putting on the. side what you have to do. And you have. to double in or double out. Okay? So you. have to hit a double. So once those. little things popped up on the side, then you kind of we kind of knew what. the [ __ ] he was trying for. And then. watching them potentially miss one of. those and then in real time adjust to. like a double eight instead. Okay, we'll.

do that. It was uh outrageous. But going. fishing. >> Yeah, it felt like cuz you're seeing. what he's looking for. Triple 20, triple. 20 bull. And then they're zoomed in. It's like triple 20, triple 20. And then. now they zoom in on the bull [laughter]. right in on the bull. And it's LIKE. BULLSEYE. HE'S DONE IT AGAIN. And it's. uh the place goes [ __ ] apeshit. I. don't know how it'll work in America, if. it would work in America, but I do know. I want to be in one over there. Yes. Because like it's Halloween, it's. [ __ ]. >> bingo. Carney V. I mean, they are.

[ __ ] living in that crowd. >> Yeah. And it looked like kind of like an. October fest setup cuz you mentioned. Shane Gillis was there and it's like. tables, people dressed up. So the way. the Premier League works, it feels. feasible for like the states. It's just. eight dudes. All of them are studs. Cool. hands Humphre if you remember from last. year. Yeah, him. Litler, uh, Vanvine, this. guy, uh, an Andrew Van Gerwin, who's an. absolute nuke. Yeah, here we go. Him.

right there. He He's middle right. U, Steven Bunting there. He's the people's. champ, I guess. >> People are not happy. >> Yeah, people aren't happy with him right. now. It's. >> Titanium. >> Yeah, he's Yeah, he comes out to. Titanium. Uh, but if if they just took. these four or these eight on tour and. just did like, "Hey, we're going to do. round robin at a theater." Yeah. I mean, [ __ ] the dome would be [ __ ] sick, but a theater w with, you know, 5,000. You. >> also shut down those arenas. So, they. shut down like half of those arenas and.

put stages up and then they kind of book. off the. >> Final Four. >> Yeah, final four. They do that. Um, UFC. weigh-ins, they do that. I've seen um. other things where they have an arena. and then they just back the stage up for. however many people you get, you know, like we're cool with it just being like. a theater here on the end and then if we. get more people we back it up and then. you have that and then you back it up. and you have that. It's like I think. that would be a good setup for the. darts. >> Yeah, >> cuz these arenas not as expensive as you. would think. Now granted they're taking. a beast but if you can fill it up, which. these [ __ ] can, it would be an.

incredible event just to go and have a. good time. >> Yeah. Well, it's for the good time. Like. if you just drop, you know, beer prices. and food prices, you know, maybe if you. if you're thinking, hey, maybe we take a. hit on that, but we get more people. build the sport in the States. It would. be a pretty easy way to do it. >> I think it's a I think it's special uh. moments, especially if you're Luke. Linton is 18. >> Yeah, boxy. >> We got to be there for the three peak. >> next year. >> He's going for the three. >> I don't know. I think he might be the. first. >> Do they have to do it during football.

season? >> Yeah, that's the issue. This was the. first time it's fallen on a Saturday as. well. I read in quite quite some time at. Alip Pelle. >> It's normally on Sunday. >> I don't know actually. It's my It's my. first year uh competing in the watching. of it. Uh but I do I do think it is. either. >> It's awesome. >> It is I'm not kidding. It was so I. watched the whole preview. >> Commentators are perfect. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. It's great. >> Commentators are like baseball. commentators but also like um you know. have incredible like because they got to. fill time.

>> Yeah. They bicker. >> They becker. That's like baseball. Like. baseball I think is more like a. conversational commentary, but then they. got to bring the juice whenever. something massive happens. And it's like. they clearly have to love darts as well. >> Yeah. The announcer the to your point. George Noble that that guy. Yeah. The. ref. Yeah. He he also plays a vital role. in the 180 announcement. >> 180. >> And then the other guy is trying to. throw while that's happening. entire.

place is going crazy. >> Starting chance. >> Yeah. >> Like they. >> congrats Luke. You got us all. captivated, brother. >> Yeah. >> And I I love So I guess we got our. insight from Nigel, our English. correspondent. It said um a lot of. German fans booing Luke Litler at that. that one that we saw. >> Oh, he reached out. >> Yeah. Well, I think he tweeted and he. said like, "Hey boys, one crucial piece. of information you're missing is that's. a lot of German fans.". >> That's Nigel. >> Yeah. He's giving us a piece of info. that we need. And I know if Luke. Litler's throwing,

>> it's going to be electric. >> Yeah. >> Well, in the tweets about it, like, hey, this guy's only getting better. >> Exactly. And that Yeah. They're saying. like, "Hey, wait till this guy turns. into like a legitimate alcoholic. Like, he's going to get way better." Like. right now, he's drinking like fruity. drinks and doing all this [ __ ] Wait. till this guy starts drinking liquor and. and and booze, you know, not just like. these breezy fruity drinks. Like once he. kind of turns it up, that's when his. dart game. >> I did see that tweet. I did see that. there are some people that believe that. about darts. I happen to have a friend.

who is a semi-professional dart player. and his entire mission is to get. hammered before it starts because he. feels like it's a little looser. Yeah. Now granted, he made it to the finals. and didn't know it and he lost and he. missed. >> and that's going to happen sometimes. just like beer. >> Yeah. Yeah. I guess people start getting. a little hole starts getting a little. bigger that way. Darts, I don't know if. these pros are playing like that. Honestly, Van Nin looked pretty tight. Uh. >> he needs to have one. >> tightened [clears throat] up. Little too. tight. >> I thought he was a good player though. He knows his time will come. The way. they stand with that box and then lean.

it over. >> The problem with Van. >> Luke Litler's body, it's like a. >> athlete. as it's leaning over. >> It's unbelievable. >> Van's problem was like he just look like. a dick. It It was like, dude, you can be. losing and still like try and be a fan. favorite. Like he was losing and he was. kind of taking a page out of AJ Hawk's. book. He was pouting. No, he [laughter]. wasn't. He thought he was getting a. little upset at himself. >> Finally at the end he hit one. He was. like, "Oh, I guess I still [ __ ] I can.

throw darts still." And people were. like, "Yes, there it is." I get a little. moxy. I mean, you saw Litler. Litler was. gone fishing, man. >> Yeah. I mean, centimeters away from a. win and a loss. >> Yeah. >> There was a couple Vanes that hit the. metal and dropped out. It's like, "Oh, he could have had Litler right there.". >> Yeah. No. >> And like he would throw one and the. announcer would be like, "There it is. Got a good marker now. You should should. lock this one in." and he'd miss again. >> I don't know how he missed. >> Yeah. And that's when he'd start. patting. >> So the marker, by the way, is a miss. right outside. And then that's like a.

target basically because you can either. use that to But it's there's blood on. the board at one point cuz Van cut. himself on his dart. >> So pissed. Yeah. >> So then Yeah. The commentator was not. happy. He was unbecoming of the of the. dart board to have blood on there. >> They switch it out. >> Uh no, they didn't. I think they asked. Litler if he wanted it to be up. >> Leave it. >> Yeah. >> That is [laughter]. that is what he said. >> Yeah. end of the once the leg ended then. George Noble called it in. He's like all. right. >> So, but the speck of blood was on the.

five pretty high and you saw Litler not. miss after. I feel like it was like. almost. >> I think they're looking for like. >> that's when the commentators started. going at it. They were like it's a. little off-putting. No. And and one of. the guys like no not at all. >> And then they asked Luke if he wants it. He's like no it's good. Yeah. It's good. Because it was right. It's fun sport. It's fun sport. Once again, we don't. have Monday Night Football. No. >> So, we are exploring the space of. everything. Last overreaction tweet here. from a Baltimore Ravens fan, I do.

believe. Uh Justin Beanock at J- Sock. #. I don't want to overreact. But. >> thank you, Luke. Because of you, the. Ravens can finally get rid of Harball. and Cleanhouse and I don't have to see. Filele's bum ass take another snap at. right guard. He got hurt last night. Congrats, Tone Diggs. Tomlin is still. going to be the head coach and the. Steelers will remain mediocre. I like. the little positive spin here by the. Baltimore Ravens, some of their fans. We. don't know if they're going to move on. from Harbaugh, but it did sound like. going into the game, there were. certainly conversations going to happen.

on either side if there was a loss. Have. you overstayed your welcome? Has your. message run dry? Is it time for you to. move on? As Shfter said, if Harbaugh was. to be fired, he'd be hired tomorrow. somewhere else. Maybe it's time for a. new scene for him. We shall see, Tom. >> Yeah. Um they're not. um just not what. they do. Uh he's still employed there. Um we're in the playoffs. Never lost on. Monday Night Football. And then we're. off to the races from there. >> Be a friend, tell a friend something. nice. We're in this thing together. Congrats to you and Utah and Yukon man.

and debut. One of your teams. >> Thank you. Boat two Chargers and Eagles. Maybe it's Super Bowl preview. >> Maybe. [laughter] Maybe the debut bowl. >> Team on me, team on three. 1 2 3. Goodbye.
