[Music]. The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please.

seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, let's go. >> This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very very thankful. on. the line with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers, you. stop. Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life.

[Music]. >> Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to. our humble the bone, the Thunderdome on. this overreaction Monday, July 28th, 2025. This program begins now. >> Football. >> is happening all around us. If you're. like us, obviously your timelines were. filled with highlights and narratives. and stories in football from one side of. this country to the other. All 32 teams. are making magic at their respective.

training camps and we'll talk about it. all. We'll have highlights, our top. five, top five, top five, top five from. going camping and also some narratives, some story lines and some developing. stories that are up. What's going on. with Chicago? >> Whoa. >> Not good. >> What do you mean? >> Well, I thought Ben Johnson's offense. with Caleb Williams was going to be an. automatic kickstart to Caleb Williams. perennial allpro career. The perennial. all-star, the perennial superstar, the.

consmate mega star Caleb Williams with. Ben Johnson at the helm was going to. really be ignited into the who he could. possibly become as a professional. quarterback. He sucks right now. They're. saying he sucks right now. Ben Johnson's. come out and say he's learning a brand. new offense, his third offense in two. years. Can we please relax for a couple. seconds and then let him develop and let. him figure out what the structure is, where he needs to go and then we'll get. to the offscript place. Can we do that? Everybody's like, "Sure, but we're. watching him. He sucks." And your social.

media team's put a bunch of badging uh. stuff up and his dad we know arm arm. wrestler, but he's also a hilarious dog. from the thing. Tell your social team to. stop burying Caleb because all we're. saying is the backup. get the offense. and Caleb doesn't. Caleb's dead. >> Yeah. >> Ben Johnson goes for three days in. training camp. Can we all relax? Well, I. seen the stats from the training camp. and it's saying then JJ Watts coming out. and going, "Hey, hey, people are. starting to be a little bit too serious. with this whole thing." We thought we. were joking with the stats. What we're. saying is everything that we're seeing. out of training camp right now. Although.

it is either very spectacular on one. side and absolute ass on the other or. reverse those two things, everybody's. trying to get better right now. Everybody's working on things. Everybody's learning things. I don't. think we need to press the panic button. right now, but if you see something good. from your team, you should definitely. think you're going to win the Super. Bowl, cuz that is what these weeks are. all about. Now, on that note, >> will a team from Pittsburgh win the. Super Bowl this year? They're going all. in. Money's all over the place. We'll. get a chance to have boots on the. ground. Wednesday, we'll be live from.

St. Vincent College in Latro, Pennsylvania. Come up and see us. Come. up and hang with us. We cannot wait to. see the fine yinser people up there. Uh. obviously St. Vincent College has been. the host of the Pittsburgh Steelers. training camp for like three four. decades at this point is a mecca pretty. much of Steelers fans and to make the. pilgrimage up there is basically what. every Yinszer kid has ever done from. Western Pennsylvania. Go watch the boys. build for an incredibly tough season. All the greats have been through St.

Vincent. And this year, obviously, it. has Aaron Rogers, DK Metaf, Jaylen. Ramsay, Darius Sllay, and a litany of. studs, a roster littered with talent uh. going allin. We will be able to catch up. with all of them. And also, a special. teams coordinator who is uh one of the. most hilarious humans of all time. Then. on Thursday, we back that up. We'll be. at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Here. we go. >> Yeah. >> Remember, on Thursday night, we got NFL. teams playing football at a high school. stadium. We'll be live from the Pro. Football Hall of Fame. and we'll be. right in front of the entire thing right.

on the corner. Should be a great time. I. think we're going to have some big. guests. I think they got a lot of. scheduling going on. Obviously, the Hall. of Fame festivities are what they are. We are very thankful to be a part of it. And uh you can come hang with us at both. these shows. Hopefully, you'll come see. us. I think there's a pretty big parking. lot uh from the Pro Football Hall of. Fame that we'll be right in front of. And uh the guest should be big. I think. we got some big guests. >> I hope so. >> Also got a guest coming from uh outside. of Sports World, but Ohio legend. It's. awesome. >> Really? That's how I'll leave it at. Uh, it's not just me here on this glorious. overreaction Monday. Obviously, the.

talks with tables here at Boston Connor. and at Tai Schmidt. Con man, a lot of. good stuff coming out of Patriots Cam. We'll dive into it. And, uh, Ty Schmidt, the Range Goats hat. Bubba Watson had. the weekend of his life other than. whenever he won the Masters, obviously. >> Yeah. I mean, listen, it is football. season and that's kind of where. everyone's mind's going. I get it. But, you know, when you see your favorite. golf team go out there and just. absolutely tear up the course in. England, Bubba driver off the deck. I. mean, everyone wants to do this. Very. few can actually do it, especially when.

I mean, look at the way Bubba's going to. open up here. And oh, baby. >> So, this on the 13th hole. Uh, I think. they said he's like 236 out or something. like that. He carries it. No problem. with speaking to it, saying cut, cut, cut, slice, slice. It did. He ends up. making that putt for Eagle, but that. wasn't the only time he went driver off. deck on Sunday. >> No, it wasn't. You know, when you can do. it once, why not just do it again? You. know, when you're feeling it, uh you're. you're going to do it. And that's what. Bubba did, uh once again. So, he uh he.

had that was either Yeah. 10 or 13. He. did. >> That was 13. 10 now. >> Here's 10. So, this is the first one. Bubba's feeling a little frisky, you. know, and he had to he had to he had to. go for it cuz walking Neiman was up big. I mean, look at the undulation of that. leading up to the green. And then boom, he's going to catch the slope. And oh. no, that that it's tracking. It's. tracking. That is that going to go in? Is Bubba going driver off. >> right into the cup? >> No, it's going to nestle up there about. 4 ft away from the cup. And he's going. to he's going to finish that off as well.

for a uh an eagle. So yeah, Bubba, you. know, no big deal. I believe he played. six under through eight holes to kind of. get him back in contention. He finishes. in second place. I don't know, is Bubba. back or the Range Goats back? A lot of. people are saying they are. It feels. like golf might be back with us paying. attention to live golf, which is. certainly awesome. Uh, for the sport of. golf, but watching Bubba do his thing is. cool, especially with his entire story. and everything he's been through. And. now his, you know, newfound ownership of. a golf team over there and live, we're. proud of him. We're pumped for him. Uh,

yeah. Anytime you go driver off deck. twice now, it was on 10 and 13. And. since they do that dumbass shotgun. start, you don't know when, what's, what, >> no idea. He may have started on six. He. may have started on nine. >> He might started on 11. So then 10 is. actually seven, 18, and then 13 would be. two. Nonetheless, we love that they play. it like it's a [ __ ] weekend scramble, raising some money for the local fireh. hall. We do appreciate, but it is hard. to follow. You know, it is hard to keep. up with, but we are appreciative of. Bubba Watson being all the way back. I'm.

happy you're showing him some love. Let's go to one half of the hammer. Don. Cowboys AP tone. Hey, lot of football. this weekend. So much football. Lot of. football this weekend. Felt good to kind. of see it back in our lives. >> Yeah. I Connor does the countdown to the. actual first game of this season. How. many days are we? >> 38 days. >> That's That is very very close. I do the. countdown to training camp because I. live off of these training camp videos. and stuff like that because it's so much. different than like what two weeks ago. where we were watching there. The.

internet was dead. Okay. We had some. golf and stuff like that. But football. when football is back, even if it's. training camp videos, like people can. feast off of these and feed their their. passion and, you know, just their. optimism for the season. And that's what. I love. >> I love the optimism. You know, some. people kind of getting a little too. panic buttony early to really be doing. that. I I think people are looking for. that in their dayto-day. And and just. kind of off topic here, has your. algorithm started showing up big time. fights and that stuff again? >> Yeah. Once again, >> lot of fights. Some people just getting.

knocked out. >> Cincinnati. >> Yeah, saw that. >> Holy. >> We need to We We need to watch. ourselves. >> We We need to watch is what people are. saying. I'm not. >> Arkansas. >> Yep. That one, too. >> Yep. Yeah. No doubt. >> Yeah. The wars are dying down a little. bit on the algorithm. So, it's more. just, you know, fighting. >> Yeah. Don't know if they actually are. We're not saying anything. We're just. telling you what algorithms are kind of, hey, this is what you need to see. I saw. somebody uh I saw another uh uh dead. body. I don't like that.

>> No. Yeah. >> Had to mute. Had to mute. And I don't. know if I can talk to the algorithm, so. I just start speaking into my phone. Like, yo, yo, yo, yo, no death. No. death. They can't have it. Also, football's back. Just feed football. I. need to stop seeing people get their. asses knocked out. And they're like, well, you need to see this one. Everybody's one more before you go. >> You need to see this one. Everybody's. talking about it. It's like, but the It. seems like the algorithm every once in a. while just have it where it's like, you. know what? Chaos. Yep. You need to see. it. Look what's happening. This the real. world. Bang. Bang. See a train? Yep. Somebody got hit by it. You understand?

Right in front, dude. It's a It's an. interesting But football was everything. Scroll football. Yes. >> Scroll football. >> Yes. >> Scroll football. Oh, Stewart signed his. deal. >> Okay. Happy for Shamar Stewart. Scroll. Guy dies. >> Oh, it's going off. >> And then if my eyes accidentally look at. it for four to five seconds, the. algorithm goes, "Got him. >> He loves it. He loves it.". >> Boom. Now all of a sudden, now all of a. sudden it's one football highlight. dead. body. Yeah. Then it was like uh football.

narrative. McVey talking about Matthew. Stafford. >> What the. >> hell's going on there? >> Uh oh. >> Yeah. >> I don't like I don't coming into. training camp. You know how I don't like. that. >> Me ain't either. It's. >> time to raise some hail in LA, boys. >> Well, what do you mean? >> It's Stson's time. Okay. It might be a. >> Jimmy G sling it all over the place. >> Yeah. Yeah. Jimmy's just kind of a. placeholder there for Stson. You know, you don't want to have a quarterback. controversy. So, you bring in old Jimmy. G. Hey Stson, you are the guy. You are. the prince who's promised, but we can't.

have you sitting behind Staff. Staff's. not gonna like that. He knows you're a. Georgia boy who raises hell. >> I think. I think Staff and Stson get along just. fine. Handsome Jimmy G's back in the. place she's supposed to be, which is Los. Angeles. But I was staring at that video. long longer than I watched it. >> Sure. >> Just so the algorithm would see me. looking at that. And then lo and behold, one time scroll dead. It's just like, oh. my god. It's hard to battle right now. with the algorithm, but anytime football. is showing up at the level in which it's.

showing up, it's a great thing. Now, there's going to be some tough days at. East Camp. >> camps where there's going to be absolute. shite to talk about. But right now, a. lot of guys trying to prove themselves. in new places. Let's go to nine-year NFL. vet Darius J. Butler here. A lot of new. guys in new places, a lot of new faces. in new spaces, making plays all over the. place. But there is a chance uh that a. lot of these guys don't work. What the. hell happened with Wilkins in Las Vegas. for the Raiders? >> You I saw the report. I'm sure we all. have Nick. I'm not sure if his name sure.

he's a real I don't know his background, but everybody saw this report. Very. weird. Very, very weird. Uh it makes you. start, you know, your mind starts to. wonder obviously with the player. You. look at the history, you look at other. things and then you come up to your own. conclusions. I'm sure there'll be some. other things that come out, but this was. a huge, huge signing for them last year. Obviously, if you're a Dolphin fan, you. wanted Wilkins to stay in the building. we lost him and then for something that. like this to come out and then they. tried to void a bunch of his money. I'd. be interested to see how this plays out. He has a serious injury too. I believe a. Jones fracture in his foot. Uh so.

hopefully he can get that figured out. and then land on his feet somewhere at a. good uh good organization. >> So many things happening. Just so many. things happening including a man who's a. college football national champion, a. Super Bowl champion, a Ryder Cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawkish. >> We are letting our hair grow a little. bit. I like that. I got a little awkward. weird face for a long time growing the. sides out. But yeah, what's up? I. Christian Wilkins. I do I I think I put. in the group text. What happened? What's. going on? >> Yeah. So, the only way it was described. by local ABC uh Las Vegas sports.

reporter Nick Walters who said uh. everybody's being real real tight with. it. It was weird. It's a very weird. incident. So, I'll be we'll ask Adam. Shaft here in about four minutes when he. joins us about what this could possibly. be about. But these are things that. start rolling out during camp. And AJ, I. are you growing your hair out? >> No, I don't know what I'm doing to tell. you the truth. Just not cutting it. And. it's a there's a weird I'm going to cut. it in some other style. I can't I'm sick. of having it long up top like I do. >> It's training camp. >> Wow. Figuring it out. >> You just try You just trash it. Just let.

it go. >> Yeah. AJ, what I actually just told. Bruce before the show that what he does. to his hair is criminal. Okay. He has. great hair. He wears a hat every day. He. has like maybe the best hair. Uh, and he. always wears a hat and the hats are just. like just like, "Hey, if you're bald, you do what you're doing right now. Your. hair's so good." So, we're talking about. that. You also had great Oh, flowing. locks. >> No, never. My I never had like Yeah, I. had long hair. Long like ratty garbage. hair. Never had like long flowing thick. locks. It was never that. >> Yeah, but it was it was your look.

>> Game day. >> It was your thing. Are we going back to. that? >> No, I don't think so. You know, but I It. would be weird to wear a hat here on. this if it's just a one shot. Can I wear. a hat? Would it would you be able to see. my head? >> I wear a hat on here every once in a. while. You would have to wear. >> there. I'm saying when it's just me. though in the per in when I'm here in. this in the in the attic. >> The issue is where your lights are cuz. like if you wear a hat and the lights. are from top, it's not great. That's why. backwards hat normally television for. the lighting thing. AJ, I think if you. just wore a hat for the next eight. months and grew back that uh ratty white.

trash [ __ ] that'd be awesome. >> Oh my god. >> I never know. Maybe it might happen. I. don't know. Yeah, AJ, it is a little. ratty, white, trashy, but I I think it. is awesome. It would be great to have. that back. Great to have that back. >> Yeah. Yep. I don't know. >> What are you talking about? >> I It was a phase. I'm glad I did it. I'm. glad I did it and had a phase of long. hair. Like when you look back at your. parents from like the 70s and they all. had long hair. I'm like, "Okay, I did. that. I had the phase.". >> Look at that beard, dude. >> Yeah. The beard is clean.

>> Strong. Good permit. >> That's actually a five:00 shadow 2. months from now. >> Yeah. You know what I mean? doesn't grow any facial hair. Uh. whatever you do with your hair, we you. want uh you need to know that we support. you. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. >> This is a tough decision for you, this. midlife crisis thing. And if you go. through anything that you need our. assistance of, just know that we are. supporting, okay? We are supportive of. what you're doing. AJ, you want to go. camping or not? >> Yeah, let's go camping. That does sound. pretty good.

>> Hey, let's go camping, shall we? These. are our top five plays from training. camp that we saw this weekend. Now, there's a lot of plays that happen. We. might have missed some. This is just. what our algo was sneaking into our. lives in between fighting and death. videos. These are the videos that we've. seen. You getting the same thing, AJ? >> Yep. Exact same algorithm. >> Feels like we're all going through it, right? It's like. >> I get scared that people's their head is. going to hit the curb or hit really hard. on the concrete and they're all dead. >> Yeah. Well, don't worry cuz the Savannah. Bananas took care of that and they. actually didn't die. You're good.

>> That was a work, bro. >> I don't think so. I I live in a world. where that wasn't a work and that guy. front flipped onto his forehead. >> That was a work, brother. On that note, rest in peace to the Hulster. >> Yeah, obviously. >> Okay, we're one of his final interviews. I think he traveled all the way in here. to chitchat with us. Was very kind to. us. Uh obviously, he has lived the life. that he has lived. Incredibly important. to a lot of different forms of. entertainment. Certainly the wrestling. business as a whole. Was he a perfect. human being? Absolutely not. Okay. I. think that is something that will be.

said about everybody that passed away, but he certainly in the spotlight did. some things that weren't necessarily the. best at the time. But with that being. said, you can never chitchat about. entertainment and sports in the United. States of America without mentioning the. Hulkster, brother. That's just the way. it is. Rest in peace, Terry. Rest in. peace, Hulk. And uh thank you for your. years of service for our entertainment, >> brother. Now, on that note, uh that guy hit a. backflip in the middle of the game just. hour or two after he did that video and.

caught the thing. It's actually called. the rack flip cuz his name is something. Anthony something. >> Yeah. Robert Anthony Cortez or. something. Okay. >> Okay. So, this was on an interview to. promote Savannah Bananas. I think you've. seen this. >> and I'll be watching now. >> That's real. >> That got me. >> I don't know. That could possibly be a. work. I think. >> his chin open. >> Yeah. show his hand. >> Why are his hands so high in the air? >> Yeah. And why does he just forget how to. do a backflip in the middle of a. backflip? I I don't I don't know. That's. tough for me to understand. And this was. just I don't know 8 n hours later the.

game that he was marketing. Oh, what's. that? Fly ball out the left. Backflip. Rack flip. The dude from CNN who busted. his face open. They actually give a full. speech about him coming back. Way to. respond here. They give him a full like. >> the same day. >> Yeah, that was the game. That was the. game I think he was promoting four, you. know, so that whole thing like kind of. happens. Now the timing that you have to. have and maybe it is the mitt that. weighs him perfectly balanced and maybe. it is the thought of just making a play. for the bananas for the team that when.

he was with CNN, what's on the line. here? Nothing. If I drop this ball, I'm. going to let down the rest of the. [ __ ] bananas here. I need to make. this catch. Lays the thing, sticks it, throws it out there. Or. >> that was a work. >> That was a work. >> I I I think it's real. I think. everything you mentioned, you're out. there, your adrenaline's flowing. You. got 70,000 screaming mimis in the fans. So, yeah, you're going to be out there. sleeveless. >> Babies. >> Babies. >> Excuse me. >> People. >> Yeah. >> Men, women. >> No, never just never heard that before. >> I'm sorry. >> Am I too old for that?

>> No, it's one of my old one of my old. coaches used to say that in college. Uh, just came back. Sorry. 70,000 people in. the stands. So, adrenaline's flowing. >> I thought the bananas fan base was. potentially called the main. >> cuz who's a fan? me. Maybe I I thought. that too. >> Might be. Hey, might be now. >> I thought you knew the Savannah banana. uh bananas better than all of us. whenever you just dropped the name in. there casually. That would be something. you would do. >> No, no, no, no. Uh. >> call Curious George. Let's just figure. it out right now. Get it over with. >> Who? >> No, you're thinking of the man in the. yellow hat. Curious George's father.

>> who runs the whole thing. >> Oh, he stilts. Yeah. >> Yeah. No, the Jesse. The guy who runs. the deal. The guy that. >> talks. Got it. Anyways, could you think. it's a work or no? >> I think the flip now I didn't at first. Now I think the flip was was a yeah. planned situation. >> 1,000% a great job. You find his face. Please find that. We sent the video into. the group. There's there's a uh. >> his hands are all weird. Why did his. hands go flying out in front of him and. when he's in the. >> He doesn't have his ball on. Duh.

Doesn't see the ball in the air. Like. that's what he's used to doing. Was. gone. >> Why didn't one of the people in the. studio throw him a ball? He could have. done it then. >> Well, I don't know because they decided. not to. >> Here's a video he posted afterwards. >> Hey guys, for the record, do you have my. full permission to laugh? >> I I can't not laugh every time I watch. it, too. >> He's all dropped off. >> Anyways, okay. Love you. I'm going to. get some rest. >> I love you, too. So, he busted his mom. >> So, that's commitment to the bit, but.

that's what the bananas would do. >> No, no, he busted his [ __ ]. >> All right, let's do uh let's go camping. Okay, let's go camping, shall we? With. our top Hey, Rack, we hope you're okay. Way to bounce back and hit that rack. flip. >> That's right. >> All right, our top five plays that our. algorithm showed us from the weekend of. training camp. Let's go camping. Let's. go to Music City. Let's go to Nashville, Tennessee. Let's go to the number one. overall pick, Cam Ward. Remember, the. general manager said, "Hey, you don't. pass on a generational talent." Cam Ward.

drafted to the Tennessee Titans. Hey, roll left, cross body, throwback, perfect dot to Calvin Ridley. This is. what Calvin Ridley had to say after. practice about Cam Ward joining the. Tennessee Titans. >> Man, when we picked him, man, I would, bro. >> I if it feels different around here, you. know? It feels in the building, it feels. like just really because of him. That. first pick when we got him and it was. him, man, it just feels crazy. Honestly, it feels good that we got a good. quarterback. He's confident and we got.

to keep him confident and protect him. because he's he's he's special. >> He talks a lot of [ __ ] On one of his. streams, he actually said uh Calvin. Ridley's one of the top five wide. receivers in the league. Whenever he was. asked about it, I almost gave away that. he was going to go to the Tennessee. Titans. But now that we watch him and. learn more about him, he was the obvious. number one pick here. And Tennessee. might be for real with this guy. You. find your quarterback, you can find a. team and a culture. AJ, >> well, think of all the hope we have like. or the Tennessee people have just from. seeing Cam Ward in camp for a week. And. like I I understand like the big throws. that he makes that is impressive, but.

I'm honestly more impressed by how he. carries himself and the stories from his. coach talking about how confident he is, how well his recall is on the play. calling as he's talking trash to the. defenders and he's getting the play call. in his ear and he's able to get it out. perfectly. Like honestly, that is almost. more impressive me than his arm. strength. >> Head coach Callahan said it's the first. time I've ever experienced it. Uh I'm. actually listening to him talk [ __ ] to. somebody while giving him the play call. and then I ask him if I need to repeat. it and he says, "No, you're good, man. I'm good. We keep him moving. And the. way Calvin Ridley's talking feels like. the same way the University of Miami.

started talking whenever he showed up. there. He is a magnetic force. It feels. like deep. >> Yeah. You get a quarterback, you you get. you got a chance. And I remember all the. videos with him and Shadore kind of. training during their off seasons even. going into their last college years and. all the [ __ ] that he's talked the. confidence that he has, how the bravado. he carries himself with, and then he. backs it up with the play. a guy like. Calvin really when you are wide receiver. we're all dependent on other guys around. us but wide receiver is the most. dependent position I believe out there. and then Callahan you know he has the O. line pedigree so you got a O line that.

can protect that guy you got a chance to. build in a division that you uh you know. you can compete with I don't know about. that brother uh let's go to Seattle talk. about a young quarterback that had no. conversation about him coming into the. NFL Jaylen Milro you remember. Gravedigger against Auburn You remember. the highlights? What about a throw to. Jackson Smith and Jigba down the. sideline? Is it in or out? You make the. call. Well, we can't [ __ ] see it all. But I will say powered by Boeing scares.

me a little bit, but also makes me. excited uh that Boeing is sponsoring. things as it moves forward. Jaylen Milro. though, nobody was talking about him as. an NFL quarterback. Nice to see a. highlight coming out of camp. >> Coach Bellich was pretty high on him and. obviously we know how Nick Sabin felt. about him at Bama. But yeah, you get a. guy and I love Injig, but he's an. absolute weapon. Uh it'll be if does is. he going to have a chance? You know, Darnold is going to be there. He's going. to be the guy. But yeah, Jaylen Murro, he is a weapon. I expect him to see the. field at some point. But yeah, the. package quarterback cuz he is one of the.

best athletes whenever he touched the. field. And look, I'm in the air a lot. I. love bowling. Keep it. >> Yeah, keep bringing it. Forced to, I. think, cuz they're everywhere. But uh. keep going. >> Come on. >> Yes. >> We need you. We need you. Uh let's go to. Oxnard. uh Oxnard, California. You know, there's a lot happening over there and. we'll talk about Jerry talking and Micah. talking and the business and Shotti's. first training camp. Let's go to a great. moment on defensive side. Man who was. brought in from the Buffalo Bills, Kier.

Elum. Ah, track pick. Celebrate with. your team and maybe the fans. There's a. little baby boy here. I'm going to go. ahead and scoop him. You got the ball. Hold him up like Simba. The place goes. bananas. Love the good vibes coming out. of training camp because all we've heard. from Dallas is negativity. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah. You know, when we what we normally. whenever you see that yellow tubing on. that fence over there when you're when. you're talking about Oxnard, what are we. usually seeing? We're usually seeing a. huge full team brawl between the Cowboys. offense and defense, whoever it may be.

And there's usually fans that almost. getting some friendly fire. So, this is. a great little uh little turnaround, I. guess. Real positive influence, a little. positive thing to happen. >> You talk about the fans getting friendly. fire. I think Dak Prescott got some. friendly fire too last year at this side. of the field whenever things were. happening at that point. It's a. beautiful scene. He's brand new to the. Cowboys as well. >> Yes, he is. Uh, you know, had had a. rough outing, rough ending, I would say, in his tenure in Buffalo. But sometimes. you need a fresh start, you know, a. fresh start. It's a lot of talent on. that Dallas uh defensive side of the. ball, especially once they get parts in. them building. So, you heard he was a.

high first round pick, so he has the. talent. Hopefully, this is a system that. he can get out there and make plays. But. I love making plays like that and that. moment for that kid, for that family, you know that you'll be able to remember. that forever. >> Yeah, it's beautiful. Everybody rallying. around it, too. Looks like the boys. vibes are high even though there's drama. everywhere else. You know, Bubble was in. Old England. >> going driver off the deck. Sure. >> Let's go to New England with Drake with. a big deck. He has a big deck, big yard. >> Yep, you can bet. >> Big ball here to pop Douglas. Boston. Connor got all excited watching this. How come?

>> Yeah, I mean, look, it's P it's PMS. overreaction money. There's a reason. that New England Patriots fans and fans. of other teams that haven't been so good. are so excited right now. Pats are. running the Super Bowl and Drake May's. going to win MVP. So, yeah, there's a. reason stuff like this get you juiced. up. Love to see it all. Good things. Uh. to your points, those fake stats, they're real for teams of bad uh teams. or fans of bad teams. And Drake May's. been like, you know, 20 to 21 all camp. So, incredible to see. And look at all.

those fans. The support is very strong. for Mike Vrael and the boys who are in. full pass. >> I saw a lot of fans at a lot of training. camp. Feels like the buzz for the NFL. this year is very very high. We're. thankful to get out to St. Vincent on. Wednesday, then to the Hall of Fame game. on Thursday. We'll get a chance to feel. it. But all the camps had a lot of. people. I did see Kell Moore down there. in New Orleans. He spoke to about 30. people. He he he mentioned three times. in there how hot it was. >> Yeah. >> I couldn't even imagine. Indiana was. like 100° this weekend. New Orleans with. this heat wave that we're having. That. had to be insufferable down there. So,

shout out to their fans showing up as. well and Kell's first training camp. And. now, let's come right here to. Indianapolis, Indiana. >> You know, you talk about teams that. aren't worried about stats uh during. training camp. We are a team that is. worried about stats in training camp. >> No doubt. >> Cuz there's a quarterback competition. And I'll tell you what, everybody that's. been up there says it's not really. competition anymore. >> Whoa. Everybody seemingly is a bunch of. >> believe arson. aort. on the run.

to Alec Pierce. Now Alec looks. absolutely yolked. He's on a contract. here. Obviously he was putting in the. work all off season. His upside is also. >> so immense just like AR's upside is so. immense. These two if they're able to. connect this year can become an absolute. weapon on the offensive side. But all. eyes are on number five right there. Is. he going to be a guy whose career is. going to go one way or the other? This. is the chance. Carly Ers, uh, Kaylin. Ers, and Casey Ersce, all the ownership.

of the Indianapolis Colts have come out. and said, "Hey, he's still got time to. turn this entire thing around." Chris. Balor, general manager. Hey, he's still. got time to turn this entire thing. around. He knows that he still has time. to turn this whole thing around. Different traits before practices. He's. doing walkthrough reps in his mind, >> getting after it. He looks like he's in. incredible shape. when it comes to taking hits, but it feels like a lot of question. marks that we've had about Anthony. Richardson as a quarterback and as a. professional have seemingly come back. the other way this training camp early,

but it does feel good to be a uh maybe a. believ. >> I love and competition. Look, it it. brings out the best in you have a truth. >> What? >> What are you laughing about? >> Is that. you haven't seen that? >> Please tell me the the origin of this. whole believe our situation. One's not a. believer. >> I'll tell you what. >> I could be. I just don't know where it. go. >> Are you a non-believer. and for believers. near.

>> It's not that hard to be a. [Music]. >> Yeah. Cleared it up. Thank you guys. I'm. a believer on now. You cleared it up. Boom. We got him. >> He looks good. What I'm saying? Yes, he. looks good. He does. >> I am a believer. >> He's got to He's got some big steps to. take. Uh availability is number one. You. got to be available for your team when. you're a quarterback. We saw two were. talking about that. And everybody knows.

that. Fan, coach, whoever you are. You. want your starting quarterback out. there. If he wins this job, coach fans, you want him to be the guy. And it was. some conversation, I believe, last week. about if is this a make or break year. Maybe not for AR for his complete. career, but as far as his career here in. Indianapolis, I think this is a make or. break year for five. Ton of weapons out. there. Alec Pierce obviously being one. of them. You got Pitman, you got DS, you. got AD, you got JT in the backfield, and. then big Tyler Warren, the big tight end. we got out of Penn State. So, you have. the weapons. You have Shane Stiker who. we know can call a good offense. You.

have all the pieces in place to be a. really, really good offense. And we know. the pieces that we made on the other. side of the ball as well. So, I'm. excited. I'm definitely a believer. Pine. tree, oak tree. How about the ogle tree, brother? You see this guy talking all. the weapons on the offensive side, honey. >> Damn. >> Give me that. >> Moving quick. >> Yeah, I love that. Love everything about. what's coming out of the Colts training. camp. Happy we went camping. Joining us. now is a man who knows old buyer. campsite. >> This guy can rub six together, make. fire. Ladies and gentlemen, senior NFL.

insider at ESPN, Adam Shfter. >> Chefy, sorry we made you wait there. We. had to go camping. I assume you got a. lot of work done there. Uh let's talk. about some question. First of all, how. are you? Everything good? >> Jack. >> Great. Great. And uh no complaints here, Pat. We're. happy. >> Okay. We are very happy. Football's. back. It feels amazing. Let's talk about. some outstanding issues around the NFL. We'll start in Dallas. Obviously, Micah,

Jerry, whole situation has become very. loud in public. Now, Cir Elum makes a. big play, grabs a baby. They all have a. good time. So, I think the team and. football aspect not being bothered in. Shotti's first year as a head coach. But. when it comes to Jerry and Micah and how. all that [ __ ] has gone, do we think that. has any effect on how long it takes for. this deal to get done or do we think. that is all just little noise as we move. through training camp? >> Well, it's been bogged down. It hasn't. gained a lot of traction and it feels. like both sides are digging into their.

respective stances and there hasn't been. a lot of movement in recent weeks or. months. You know, the Cowboys haven't. talked offers and deals since probably. late uh in March, early April around the. owner meetings when Jerry seemed to. imply that he thought a deal was close. to getting done and then it didn't get. done. And then obviously Micah said, "We're not doing a deal without my. agent, David Mulgetta." And then they. and the Cowboys have not had a lot of. conversations since then. And I don't. think Dallas has made since that time uh.

any pressing effort to get a deal done. So obviously there's a lot there that's. just sort of sitting there and there. hasn't been a lot of positive momentum. to get a deal done, but everybody thinks. at some point of course it'll get done. and Michael will be the highest paid. non-quarterback in NFL history. But. again, slow going so far. >> Everybody thought TJ Watts deal with the. Pittsburgh Steelers would get done. I. wondered whenever he held out of the. mandatory mini camp, that deal. inevitably gets done. Everybody thinks. Micah and the Dallas Cowboys going to. get done. We assume that'll get done as.

well. He's in his fifth year though of. his rookie contract. It's an abnormal. situation for a superstar player whether. it's with the Dallas Cowboys or not. I. think Micah handling it the way he's. been handling actually. Bravote bud. I. think he's handled it very very well. Could have been much louder and more. negative about it all. Said he wants to. be there for his team. Hopefully it. works out in Shotti's first year as a. head coach. Let's travel north a little. bit. Same type of situation. Go ahead. AJ. >> Yeah, Chef any updates like what's the. latest Trey Hendendrickson and. Cincinnati? Uh have they have they.

gained any ground? Is there any chance. that he's going to be in the building. anytime sooner rather than later? >> AJ, here's where they're at essentially. I mean, the deal is in place, but there. is a disagreement over the guaranteed. money in the deal, and it's a big. disagreement so far. Now, maybe the two. sides can figure out a way to bridge. their differences, but the Bengals. typically have not guaranteed full. deals. They did it for Joe Burrow. They. did it essentially for Jamar Chase. They're not willing to do it for Trey. Hendrickson. And so it's up to the two. sides to figure out what is the proper.

guarantee. They could agree on the. years. They could agree on the average. None of those are issues right now. The. whole issue, the whole hangup, and the. reason that Trey Hendrickson still is in. Florida today is over guaranteed money. >> How far apart, Chefy? You have any idea. how far apart they might be on this? >> Yeah. Uh, I would say I mean it it's it. it depends who you're asking, but I. would say. >> anywhere between.

6 7 8 9 $10 million. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20. >> depends. I don't know like what would. what would Trey be willing to do if. let's put it this way multiple millions. multiple millions apart in guaranteed. money. How about that? Is it oneyear. deal they're still offering? Because. they're offering like a bump on this. year, right? And he wants a three, fouryear deal or whatever it is. All. they've been willing to do is just for. this year where they give you more.

guaranteed money. Is that what you're. talking about in alluding to here in a. millions off? Because over a three or. fouryear period, if they're only $4. million off, that's actually only or $6. million off. That's only a little bit. over a million each year that they're. off. This is for a one-year multiple. millions of dollars off. I think the. Bengals are off one years of guarantee. I think they're talking about some. guarantees in the second year, but. they're not talking about enough. guaranteed money in the second year. >> So, it's just a one-year deal bump up. then. It's not They want them to sign a. two-year deal, be locked in, then we're.

in the same situation next off season. with the same [ __ ]. >> No. If if if and when a deal gets done, I would expect it to be a threeyear. contract. if and when it gets. >> with two years of guarantees then is. assumingly if you just look at the math. there three year with a two-year. guarantee probably TJ just did that I. think right. >> and Miles both got three guaranteed. basically. >> yeah but it was a four-year contract. >> got it got so if you drop that down to. three you would assume it would be a. two-year guarantee is that what Trey.

wants. >> uh I I think that if the Bengals don't. guarantee close to two years worth of. money I think the deal is going to be. very slow to get done and I you know and. and Trey is a very prideful guy. You've. spoken to him, you know him, he he's not. coming in unless he feels like he's. comfortable with the guaranteed money. >> He's already taken a stand this long, you know. So, it's like uh if he was to. not get something that is great, I think. a lot of people would look at him. sideways, including himself in the.

mirror about why they take this big. stand if this is all we're gonna get. anyways. I hope it gets done just. strictly because we like Trey and also. because Trey has felt forced to do this. This is very much out of Trey's. character. This is not what he wants to. do. It's like this is what I have to do. seemingly and it doesn't have to be this. way. But maybe it does. Maybe this is. just business. And maybe as we move. forward once football starts, this is. all behind us. And who cares? Because. we're in moment we talk about it more. >> Yeah. But you know, you heard Terry. McLuren last week, I believe it was, or.

two weeks ago, talk about how frustrated. and disappointed he was. The two. holdouts right now are Terry McLaren and. Trey Hendrickson. And for two guys who. have meant so much to their. organizations to not be there, that. tells you how frustrated and. disappointed both are. Now, Terry. McLaren's comeback and he's changed his. stance from a hold out to a hold in. But. it's a similar concept here. He's there, but he's not there. He's not practicing. He's not stepping foot on the field. until he has a deal that I believe he's.

comfortable with. Right now, he says. he's got an ankle injury. Now again, you. know, we'll see. But if there was an. agreement on a deal, I'll bet his ankle. would feel a lot better. I'll bet his. ankle. >> money is a good healer of things. I I. mean, we have certainly seen that in the. past. Uh with that being said about the. hold out to the hold in that's just so. he can't be fined what 100 grand a day. or whatever it is because that's what a. hold. >> how much day basically he's holding out. his 50,000 a day fine. He's on his own.

He's in charge of his training. when he. comes in, the $50,000 a day fine stop. and he's around his teammates and he's. around their trainers. And so there's a. big difference. Guys don't like to be. away from their guys during training. camp. It's an isolating, lonely, solitary feeling. Like in a perfect. world, you you want to be around the. guys. >> Hey man, >> always want to be around the lads, brother. Always. On that note, Debbut. has. >> Yeah, I know he showed up with the he. showed up with his agent Buddy Baker and.

he talked about the ankle injury and I. saw that the commanders put him on PUP, I guess. What goes into that? And then. uh what just like do you have any more. details? Just like with the Trey uh. contract, how far are they apart? I know. if you look at uh comparables out there, DK signed a big deal this offseason. They were drafting the same class even. though Terry's a couple years older. Terry hasn't missed a game in 5 years. Uh what what what's the what's the. separation there in that deal right now. with the commanders and Terry? >> It's been vast and. >> vast. Wow.

>> It's been vast. >> And so it's up to the two sides to. figure out a way to bridge their. differences. But I would say that DK. Mechaf was the same draft class as Terry. McLaren. He got about $33 million a. year. Um you know I I wouldn't think. that Terry is willing to take less than. that and I think he wants considerably. more than that. Now, what it comes in. at, we'll wind up seeing. Washington, you know, they're not there right now. And they love and value Terry McCorm,

but they love and value him at a. different price. So, they they seem. these two sides right now seem apart on. a deal. Like, they don't seem close. today. And I don't know how they're. going to get that resolved and figured. out, but these things usually find a way. of working themselves out over time. But. uh as of today, I don't get the sense. that anything is close. >> You love and value me, but don't value. me as much as the Pittsburgh Steelers. value a guy that's never played for them. who's the same age who's had worse.

numbers than I have the last couple. I. mean, that is where Terry's sitting. That that is where Terry is sitting. And. you talk about not that I'm not pumped. about DK Mechaf coming to Pittsburgh. Steeler and Yenszers learning about DK. Mechaf seemingly every single practice. they're like, have you seen this guy? This guy we haven't seen. I mean, is. this the only human that is built the. way that he is built? I mean, Yenszer's. learning of DK Mechaf has been awesome. to watch. Just one of Holy [ __ ] Have. you seen this guy? He runs this He's.

unbelievable. Yeah. >> Yeah. He's he he is I mean he's Whoa. Like he's built very differently than. everybody else. That guy. >> that's. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Coming off the bus, DK is in a. great spot. Uh. >> but wait, wait, hold up. Who was the. guy? Was that was that DK? Where? Yeah, it was DK, right? Where Pete Carol when. he came in for the draft visit, took off. his shirt. That was DK, wasn't it? >> Yeah. And DK and AJ Brown were what, teammates there for a little bit. Old. miss. >> I mean, what an absolutely nightmare.

scenario. Okay. Well, good luck to. Terry. Hopefully, he gets a a job done. That video we're seeing uh not of him uh. talking to Warner or whatever. He was. talking to Buddy Baker, his agent. That's from today. That is from an hour. ago or whatever. So, Buddy Baker with. Terry on property. >> Head scratchers, man. Like, M good. >> Micah Trey, you know, great guy, great. locker room guy. Terry, great locker. room guy. And this is, I think, maybe. his first year coming back with the same. returning starting quarterback. You.

would think you would want that guy in. the building and build with that offense. with Cliff and what they have. >> Oh, Chev told us they love value. >> Oh, you're right. You're right. What am. I What am I saying? >> Hey, you know, Buddy Baker is an indie. guy. You should get him on there. Get. him in the Thunder. >> Yeah, definitely. I love agents. That. >> maybe with Terry. >> Um, >> another indie guy. >> Would love to have Terry. >> Yeah, bring Terry. >> Would love to have just You need to know. over there. Washington, >> Terry's not worth it. Get him out of. there. You don't need any distractions. Young career right now for Jaden. I saw.

Jay Lynn doing things uh down the field, making great catches. You got new. ownership over there. You guys got to. worry about the stadium stuff. offensive. Don't let Terry and Buddy. stay around distract you guys. Ship them. both out of town. Send them right back. to Indianapolis where they came from. Kick those guys out of your facility and. send them right to Indianapolis. And if. you you might even get. >> maybe a pick back like six round pick. seven round pick.

>> I saw Terry McLaren wearing a believe. our shirt. >> He is a believer. He knows. Okay, let's talk about some. other go ahead. I don't think the commanders are. reminded today that they have any. interest in trading Terry McLaren. Now. what transpires. good circumst. but I I think today on July 28th. commanders have no interest in treating. him today. We'll see if anything changes. over time. >> Okay. Uh what's going on Vegas? Huh? >> ABC reporter says only thing we've heard.

it's very weird. Very weird incidents. Now, this is Nick Walters, ABC Sports, out there in Las Vegas. Say he's been. trying to figure out what the hell. happened here. What happened with it? We. said we paid him a lot of money. Great. football player. They voided now $35.2. million. That's going to be an entire. thing in uh litigation with the NFL PA. and then him getting released. It was a. very weird incident. AJ, have you ever. heard something described as such? What. do you think? >> No, I would like to know what what weird.

even means. Like, it's all relative, too. like it. We need some context. there. And did this happen between one. teammate, Shift? Is that what put it. over the top to let him go? Or is this. like a series of events? >> Or did he go into uh Mark Davis's office. with a gun and say, "Where's my 35.2. million?" That would be very weird. Could have. >> Yeah, that would be very weird. I don't. think anybody's ever done that before. What is What What have you heard about. this? And uh is he How injured is he? When's he back? What What What happens. here with Christian Wilkins? Uh again, from speaking to people inside.

the locker room, I think what. everybody's dancing around and tap. tiptoeing around is the fact that when. you speak to people there inside the. locker room, they say that Christian. playfully went to kiss a teammate on top. of his head and those same people said. that that player took offense to it. So. that's what everybody's been dancing. around and tap dancing around an. incident in the locker room where he.

allegedly playfully kissed a teammate on. top of his head. That teammate felt. offended by it and that's what a lot of. this talk and speculation that people. have just been floating around out there. is about. >> Okay, so he kissed a teammate on the. forehead in a playful manner. Teammate. said, "Nope, not doing that." and went. the H&R and reported this entire thing. basically is what happened. >> I think that's probably a fair and. accurate way of saying things. Yeah. >> So,

>> yeah, but. >> that tells me a lot of things quickly. That tells me a lot of things. >> So, if that happens in a locker room and. then they go and report it, that means. the locker room probably didn't [ __ ]. with them, right? Feels like. >> Yeah, >> that that that's what it feels like. >> That individual for sure. I mean, I I've. u I mean, you see some different things. in the locker room there of different. people. Uh, this is this would classify. as weird. >> Yeah, I think he may bald. He got He's. bald. It's not. >> What if they won a Uker game with the. guy though? You never know. They're. playing uh maybe they're playing boo and.

the guy hit double the party. Thank you. And kissed him on the for that. >> and he's smooching. >> I've never seen it either, but I'm just. saying like, hey, the park is this guy. just lost all this. This guy lost 40. grand to me. Thank you. You know, he. goes, let me give you. >> all I'm saying is good luck to kiss the. top of a bald head. We've all we've seen. in the movies stuff like that. If this. guy's a full head if he's a full head of. hair. >> isn't cruding his boy out there. >> Big strength coach. Believe he is. Deuce. Yeah. >> He didn't try to kiss Deuce's head, did. he? He wasn't deuced.

>> If he's a $100 million player, I'm I'm. assuming it was like Max Crosby. He's. not kissing some practice squad player. and then getting in that much trouble. for it. I'm assuming he's kissing some. player. Maybe he put his finger on his. lips and did the whole like barber. thing. Maybe there's a chance. And I'm. and I'm not saying this happened, but. I'm saying there's a chance that he. grabbed a dong. I I don't think we can I. don't think we can completely rule that. out based on what we've seen on the. field. >> That's not really He's uh he's a guy. that we've always um.

said great to have on your team, >> would hate to play against him. >> The best. >> cuz everything and he he's kind of owned. that. I think that's kind of been his. his MO. He has done things in the past. that uh two players on C in 8K in 4K. that make you go. >> gez what how how did we do that? >> What is that? And then now a kiss on a. forehead in a lot. I guess the locker. room was like hey we still seen the. clips of you on that's an interesting.

dynamic. That is very weird. That is. very weird. Hopefully they get it all. figured out. Uh hopefully uh Christian. Wilkins finds a new team. I think Colts would be okay. him and. Buckner in the middle. >> He's a great football player. So good. >> I was just I was I was wondering if he'd. kiss anybody by your forehead and. >> Well, they were the most guarding. cowboy, so probably not. >> Yeah. Well, kiss the top by helmet. >> there. >> Yeah. >> What about his injury? >> Yeah. Is he healthy? Will he be able to. play or or what do we. >> that that's that's another real question.

here because again he was supposed to. have surgery a couple of different times. out in Vegas and for whatever reason. that surgery was put off and I don't. know whether or not he's going to have. that surgery. I haven't heard yet but my. understanding is the timeline after a. surgery that he might need could be. anywhere from 12 to 16 weeks. So, you're. looking at something where if he had. gotten it done earlier, his chances of.

coming back sooner would have been. greater. Now, I think he would hope to. join a team later in the season. That. would be the hope. Um, I don't know that. he'll be able to play early in the. season, but again, different doctors. have different takes. I'm not privy to. all of his medical information, but my. understanding is he does need another. surgery and that surgery is a 12 to 16. week surgery. >> Okay. So, he would be able to play this. year then regardless. Um, they voided.

his contract cuz he kissed the guy on. the head. >> No, no, that's not why they voided his. cont. They voided his contract because. there was a disagreement over the way he. was going about his rehab and his his. foot injury. Basically, the team had. been asking him to have foot surgery. over and over. I think there were. scheduled surgeries and they didn't get. done. And it's his body. He gets to do.

whatever he wants, right? So, I think. they wanted him to get the issue. corrected surgically. He kept barking at. that. It was not getting done. I think. the team grew increasingly frustrated. over time because they wanted him to. have the surgery done. He didn't want to. get it done. Maybe he felt like he. didn't need it. You'd have to ask him. I. don't know the full details there. And. so when there was a disagreement over. that surgery, whether or not to have it, whether or not to get it done, putting. it off, putting it off again, it got to.

the point where they're like, "Hey, you. don't get this done. We're not going to. have you early in the year. We need this. done. We need this done." and it didn't. get done. >> $35 million litigation and it looks like. and sounds like Christian could probably. win this one. Don't know if we'll have. enough money for the lawyers to fight it. though because we're in the second floor. of tootsies getting shoulder rubs. >> allegedly. >> So, by the way, that's an issue right. now with everything going on in the. league. Like there there are a whole.

host of things where players could use. some help on certain issues like this. one. And it's like who's who do you turn. to? >> That's a great Sheffy. >> That is a great question. Uh we don't. want to dive too deep into that because. this is a positive show. There's a lot. of negative we could go that way. Again, might not be able to have the extra four. hours of lawyer looking through every. single clause because why? Uh well, Cinnamon wanted a little extra spin on. the poll down there at Tootsies at 5:00. a.m. with the executive director of the.

NFL PA. So, we don't need to get into. that. We don't need to get into that. Good luck, Christian. Feels like you. might be a uh professional golfer for. $35.2 million if you don't want to get. back into playing football. And kissing. somebody on a forehead without knowing. if they would get mad about it is an. interesting thing to say about a. teammate in a locker room personally if. you're just to view out from that and. kind of talk from a different level. That's an interesting thing. You know, just to be like, I I can kiss this guy. on the forehead and then kiss him on. forehead and end it going the complete.

opposite way. That kind of seems on. brand for him though. It's just like, you know what? I'm gonna push this. boundary. If this guy doesn't like it, he doesn't like it, and then I'll go. find someone else to do. >> So, on that note, as somebody that. hasn't been able to read a situation, well, I told Shane that coach Shaven is. not mad. Remember? >> Yeah, you did. >> So, I thought you were joking. >> So, sometimes you misread Sometimes you. misread some things. I I don't want to. blame too many people, but yeah, I. definitely misread that situation. clearly. >> He's good. What are we talking about? It's Coach Shaman, dude. Go up there,

dude. >> The bridge. >> He was not questioned his entire. integrity. You think it's funny? [ __ ]. funny guy. >> All right. Uh, who you going to turn to? NFL PA? Great question. Good luck out. there. I'm sure they'll make the right. decision. They have continuously for a. long time. Who's Cleveland going to turn. to? A lot of question marks over there. And also, Coach Prime has a press. conference coming out uh in like 11. minutes with his medical team. We hope. everything's okay. That sounds very, very, very serious for an absolute. I.

want to say his thoughts and prayers. with Coach Prime. We love Coach Prime. and we'll let him update his medical. condition as he should here uh in the. next 10 or so minutes and everybody will. be pulling. >> Chef, it's late there. >> You can do it. >> Don't do it. Don't do it. Don't do it. Coach Prime, we love you, man. We all. love you and appreciate you for what. you've done for sports. You're one of. one a true anomaly in this world of, you. know, just copycats. Uh go ahead, Tone.

>> Yeah, Shifty. Uh obviously, Coach Prime. Shador is in Cleveland. He is one of the. four quarterbacks there and thanks to uh. ESPN Cleveland, we know all the. quarterback stats there coming out every. single day. Um who is who is the front. runner right now? I'm seeing a lot of. Joe Flacco is leaps and bounds ahead of. everyone else. I know Kenny, I think, is. dealing with a soft tissue injury. What's the update on the quarterback uh. situation? Yeah. Uh, we reported yesterday that. Kenny Picket injured his hamstring and. is basically going to re-evaluate it. later this week. He heard it at the end.

of Saturday's practice. He had had a. couple of really good practices and. looked pretty strong. And so, it's not, as it was told to me initially, uh, when. we reported on this, a run-of-the-mill. hamstring injury, but he's got to see. what's going on with that hamstring. injury when he gets out on the field and. tests it again. And now whether he tests. it today or the end of this week, I. think he's going to miss a little bit of. time here. And obviously when you're. competing for a starting job, that's not.

great. So that would seem to indicate. that Joe Flacco, if Kenny Pickicket is. going to miss some time, that would give. him an advantage. And you got the two. rookie quarterbacks. Now again, the only. two mid round quarterbacks that I've. seen come in when they were drafted that. late and start out of the gate were. Russell Wilson back in 2012 and Dak. Prescott. And both guys lit it up in the. preseason. And when you watched them,

you knew that the team had to start. them. Now, we may see Dylan Gabriel or. Shador Sanders go out this summer and. light it up in preseason and be like, "Whoa, whoa, >> that guy play." And I want to see more. of that in the next preseason game. But. short of one of those guys lighting it. up, we've always thought it would be one. of these veterans. And now Picket's down. with a little bit of a hamstring issue. And so Joe Flacco is the lone veteran. quarterback standing. So advantage Flaco.

right now, but obviously a lot of. training camp to go. >> Flaco also knows Stfansky's offense very. well. I mean, he led them literally to a. playoff two years ago. Did not work out. with the Indianapolis Colts. So, we. assume that Joe Flacco is going to have. the head start over everybody in the. Cleveland Browns uh camp going in. He. was also talking like, hey, I'm still a. starter. I don't know what we're even. talking about here. Am I going to be a. mentor? Sure. But I got to know what the. hell I got to do for the game as well. Joe Flacco is treating this as if it's.

his team, I think. And uh I know the the. conversation around it is what about the. future? What about the future? How long. do they have over there? Andrew Barry in. Stfansky and everybody, you know, because Baker Mayfield wins them a. playoff game against the Pittsburgh. Steelers. See you. You know, we're going. to redo this entire thing. We had. success. We need to rebuild it. They. obviously have a lot of stars on their. team. They spent a lot of money. The. Deshun Watson contract was a massive. swing and a massive miss. We think it. came from like over their heads. So they. got a big leash and a leeway here. Is.

that true? >> Right. So if that's right, Pat, and it. came from over their heads. >> and that strapped that program down the. last few years and Kevin Stfansky still. won coach of the year twice and they. still made a number of good moves and. added good players and had two first. round draft picks in the 2026 NFL draft. If that is the case and they were. working with their hands basically tied. behind their why are we moving on from a. great coach and a great GM, like why are.

we doing that? And so I I don't I don't. view it as them being on a short leash. In fact, they should have more time than. they're given because of some of the. moves that were made. So if you're right. about that, and there have been many. people that have suggested that you are, then. >> these guys deserve plenty more time in. my mind. Okay. So, we just found out. that that's the truth. Feel that. I've. always had a question. Always I always. questioned in my mind. Just found out. what it was. We always knew especially. because Andrew Barry like correct. I. know Andrew Barry very well. I think.

I've known him since he's like 22 years. old. Uh obviously ex-Harvard quarterback. was with the Colts for a long time. When. he was like 34, I was hoping that he was. going to get the Colts general manager. job. I have a lot of faith in his brain. the way he operates. Stfansky what? Super genius, right? Everybody says he. got super genius. >> Ivy League guys will. >> Yeah. So it's like it's funny to think. about like well how they get the worst. contract in history. Oh it must not have. been them. Oh it must have been. >> that guy. >> Oh yeah cuz they were out of the. running. Remember it was Atlanta or New. Orleans and then Cleveland comes back in.

cuz Ham's like hey so I guess things. stores we want you to come up here to. the cold. All right last question before. we let you go. Good luck to Stfansky. Good luck to Andrew Barry. Good luck to. the Browns faithful. >> Jerry Judy. >> Jerry Judy's favorite football player. >> Yeah he doesn't need luck. JJ doesn't. need luck. He needs opportunity to. shine. Put him on the big stage. He will. do great. We know that, especially with. their brand new Alpha Dog helmets and uh. with how Brownie operates as a whole. Go. ahead, Connor. Last question for you, Shifty. >> Yeah, Chefy. Ben Johnson came out,

talked about Caleb Williams, everything. going on with him this training camp. That that seems to be a massive negative. uh in the NFL right now at least. Is. Caleb Ben's guy for sure? Should we view. this as kind of just like a learning. year or is there a chance that Ben. Johnson does this year and then pulls to. Shawn Payeyton like, "Hey, Russell. Wilson, get the hell out of the. building?". >> Well, I I think they brought in Ben. Johnson because the goal was to. essentially elevate Caleb Williams. Everything they've done is to elevate.

Caleb Williams. So before we could even. go there, I still think we're talking. about a guy that was the number one pick. that was regarded as an elite. quarterback prospect and they brought in. a guy with an offense who has. specialized in elevating the performance. of quarterbacks. That's why they went. out and spent all this money on the head. coach and went out and got three. different new offensive linemen and. basically came and produced all these. players in the offseason to to make sure.

that Caleb turns into the player he. does. If he doesn't, uh, I don't think. it's going to be because of Ben Johnson. I think that they are committed to him. right now. That's going to be something. we all follow. Now, if the guy. struggles, falters, hey, look, that's. how the NFL works. But I think they are. giving Caleb every opportunity, every. resource that he deserves, and it's up. to him to make the most of it. If he. doesn't, we could continue this. conversation. >> All right, Chefty. Hopefully, we. continue this conversation with you. every single day until uh Super Bowl.

>> Yeah, there go. >> We appreciate you, brother. Football is. back. That means uh we got magic to talk. about. We appreciate the hell out of. you, brother. >> Thank you, guys. Have a great day. >> It was a kiss on a forehead. >> Yeah. Okay. >> I kissed a teammate. He hated it. That's. Adam Sheffer as you. >> All right. Hlam did do the deal. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I mean, >> he apologized. I think this off. >> Sorry. >> This wasn't them. >> I screwed up.

>> I seen it. >> Next hour. We'll see you on the other. side. Goodbye. [Music]. That's stupid. That's crazy. [Music]. And also take us off the We do not. deserve to be there. >> They all commit and love what's going on. in that weight room. They all commit and.

love what Jim Harbaugh is preaching. And. everybody in the building's happy. Everybody's like excited to be there. >> First row pressure. First row. Second. row is up here. >> It is infectious they got going on. And. how many owners are spending 300 million. on a new facility just for the practice. facility. >> This is the birdies. >> Wow. [Music]. >> But then for them to do it upright for.

the last couple it's like look out for. the Chargers, dude. Look out for the. Chargers. Hey, I got a gift for you for you. Okay, so miss your birthday and miss. Christmas, please. >> Wa! Look at that. >> Your respectable high five is one of the. greatest things you ever did for all. time. >> I love the high five. >> Yeah. Give each other a high five.

>> Boom. >> Oh my god. Wow. >> Boom. [ __ ]. >> We wanted to make basically something. that we could call my dad made. >> Oh wow. >> Feeling. I think you can get a pretty good pause. >> Yeah. >> That is incredible. >> Obviously national champion Michigan. man. Greatest high five.

>> Yeah. Because of what you brought for. the high five world. Hell yeah. He tried to give a handshake to that. particular high five trophy. Did break. the hand off. We had to put it back on. >> Yeah. Way to go. Handshake. >> Oh no. Oh no. >> There we go.

>> We have so much respect. >> You guys just roll teeth. This is. >> This would be entourage level, wouldn't. it? To be honest, we didn't know we were. going to be able to get 11 people in. here. And then you have 11. >> I mean, wow. It looks like a lot of. highlights against one particular team. >> They played more than one game. Why TV. >> for one game? >> Imposing our will.

Indianapolis. Every other day. >> What sport? >> Well, I can't give that away. Please, multiple sports. >> AJ, >> there's been multiple sports. Just know. these professional leagues that are kind. of happening right now. We've been. snooping around. >> all of them. >> All of them. We've been We have We have.

been snooping around all of them just. cuz we think it would be hilarious to. own a team. Like we think that would be. a very funny thing. Let alone if the. sport is awesome and combative and. physical and potentially sport of the. future, >> up and coming. >> Maybe, you know, perhaps maybe. >> Okay. All right. I need the commissioner's number right. now. That's what happens in this room. So I we scoop we snoop around. Find a. commissioner of these leagues phone. numbers. FaceTime cold immediately.

>> Oh god. >> Can I ask you a question? >> Been some good reporting. >> It's been great conversations. >> We've been learning a lot. >> Answers in like fancy boardrooms are all. wearing suits and he call you know you. over there in the think tank. >> No, completely opposite. All the people. that are commissioners leagues. This is. not just one person. This is multiple. leagues that this is happening. the. people answered. Normally they're at. their house or their office and it feels. like I'm uh I'm looking at the Jeff. Bezos Amazon photo from whenever he was. in that room with the behind it or or. like the Steve Jobs stuff whenever him.

and the other Steve are in the garage at. the house or whatever. That's what it. feels like every time I FaceTime these. people. Like you can see they're in the. lab trying to make this league work, you. know? And I've enjoyed it all, but just. know we're snooping around. Always. snooping around. It's always hashtag. >> up to something season. There's some big. up to something's about to come to. fruition fruition though here and I. can't wait to drop these on the world. Go ahead Tom. >> I had a question for you. I don't know. if you are going to be coach owner owner. coach owner coach player. Let's say you. know one of the top five players on your.

team, top five highest paid players on. your team kisses another guy on the. forehead in your locker room. What are. you going to do? >> That feels like a locker room issue. I'm. staying out of it. Remember I I am going. to be a I'm going to be I'm going to be. a giving owner. Okay. I I am. >> I don't think you can stay out of that. one. That's ridiculous. >> I just want to let everybody know. I. just want to let everybody know. >> the style of player that Christian. Wilkins is aside from the and the. you know that's his style of doing. things. >> The style he's relentless every single.

play. A little bit of a dog. Other teams. hate him. That is the style of player. that we are looking for in all of the. leagues that we're in. Sure. Now. >> can't be sucking foreheads in the locker. room. Let me remind you something. >> Especially not wanted foreheads. You. know, like if these guys want to suck. face in there in my in our team and. they're good at the sport and they both. do what you got to do in my locker room. >> This can't be unrequited. What's that? >> You know the Christian Wilkins is a dog. >> How quickly you guys forget Sunshine. kissed Gary Bert right in the lips and.

they want a state title. >> Yes, they did. They didn't start great. for Sunshine. But it certainly ended. great, didn't it? Yes, it for all. >> Kind of thinking of it now there. With. that being said, I don't think my team. will have any sucking forehead problems. Just want to let you know any of the. sports. >> Okay. >> Christian Wilkins used to play, just. trying to connect the dots here, used to. play in the AFC East for the Dolphins. >> Okay. >> I believe he was a rookie or in his. early years when Tom Brady was. quarterback of the New England Patriots. Now, I don't know if there was any beef,

but what if this kiss on the forehead. was a, you know, Brady and his kids type. of joke that Christian Wilkins was. making? >> Brady kisses right on her lips. Exactly. Also Brady's kid. Have you been watching. him? >> Big dog. >> Yeah, big zombie. >> Casual casual dunk. >> Very very casual. And he's got Tom. Brady's. >> Mhm. >> You know, it's the same thing we think. about with Shadore. Like we assume. because Shador has been around Prime and. Prime has literally been preaching or. teaching or coaching all of society, especially the sports world, via.

different shows, his Twitter accounts, his social media, and then actually on. the field, all of us in the sports world. for like the last 20 years. I would. assume that something has to osmosis. through, you know, his head, we would. think. Um, so maybe Tom Brady's kid is. the next coming of Tom Brady. We shall. see. >> Yeah, Jack. He that I believe there was. a clip a few years ago of Tom, Klay. Thompson, and Jack getting up jumpers, working on his jumpers. >> I've seen a lot of clips of Klay.

Thompson. Feels like he's in love. A lot. of love talk. Congrats to him. Congrats, Clay. >> Guys, a pilot, right? or a boater or. something. >> Yeah, >> he's a captain. Boat captain. >> I think Golden State had a place on the. bay. His house. I think it went up for. sale recently. I just saw it. Very cool. looking place. And I think he would boat. his ass to the games and [ __ ] like that. >> Pretty dope. >> Yeah, he's Captain Clay. >> It's like Jimmy Grim used to fly He used. to fly. >> He survived. >> He did. >> Yeah. He smashed. like five days.

>> Then he retired. >> He retired. Yep. >> He retired from football and from. >> Oh, football. >> Jimmy Graham, stud tight end. uh should. retire from rowing, we think. >> Just getting started. >> You never retired from rowing. >> Uh I think he should. You did it. And. also uh he did the Arctic Ocean. >> Yeah. >> Uh with a team of people. >> They like one of them was sleeping, the. others were going through and they beat. a world record. He just did this like. two weeks ago or whatever. The videos. coming out with that uh were disgusting. Not as disgusting.

>> as a tight end pen. >> Oh. >> Oh jeez. >> Okay. Is what everybody was saying. Let's go camping. Sh, shall we? Let's go. to St. Vincent College. Aaron Rodgers in. the brand new Pittsburgh Steelers. Little seven on seven here. Okay. Show. it down. What do we do? Uh well, Pat. Fman is going to run a little in out. DK. Mechaf's going to get checked out and. Pat Fman is going to throw his hands. Did you see that, AJ? >> I did see that. Yeah. >> What were they saying about him, Connor? >> Uh I saw a lot of people down there at. the Trobe saying, "Oh, Muff out there.

patting again. >> What's Moth doing?". >> He's just showing up his corn. I think. that's what they were saying, right? Oh, Aaron Rogers going to love that. >> Of course, you know, hey, Rogers loves. guys who pot on the field when they. don't get the ball. >> Oh, as if you have he wasn't [ __ ]. pot. >> As if you would know. You're a homer. We. see the body language. Body language for. leadership. >> I'm sorry. >> You have a moth jersey. >> Maybe I would know. Or maybe I asked. him. Connor Fox, you got that for me, pal?

>> I was definitely not pouting. I was. pissed at myself. Threw my hands up. I. ran the wrong route and I made the play. look like [ __ ] So I was throwing my. hands up in frustration to myself. Definitely not showing up my. quarterback. >> Okay. >> So he wasn't. >> You think that was AI. Tony? You don't know M like that. Okay. No you don't. I know you don't know M. like that. That's AI if I've ever seen. >> AJ, let's talk about the situation that.

just happened. Um, so we saw the. highlight uh or I guess low light there. of prior mouth over the weekend. We come. in this morning. Something very easy to. say to tone to gas him up quickly is. that one of his play favorite players. and humans for our mouth is in a. terrible spot with Aaron Rogers cuz he's. potting. >> He's showing them up. >> Sad. >> All the injers that go up the lay trobe. to St. defense in college are like, "Does Muth think he's better than a.

quarterback? This guy, what is he doing?". >> Me eight times this morning. >> This is day three with this guy. We know. Aaron's a little fickle potentially. And. now you're going to show him up in front. of everybody, the whole world. You see, literally that's what we just start soon. as Tone sits down. It's just like, >> "So, uh, see the Steelers are in a bad. spot. Everybody hates each other." You. see that? And a Tone goes, "But you. boys." We literally FaceTime Frymouth. FaceTime. Cold FaceTime him. >> He answers right on the phone. We all.

go, "Oh, he's. started yelling at me.". >> We all started yelling at him for. pouting. He said, "I'm not pouting. I. >> I [ __ ] up. That was a huge mistake by. me or whatever." It's like, "Uh, will. you record saying that?" And he did. Which is why we can't take anything from. these training camps. No. >> Serious. >> Like legit. Well, they want to paint a. narrative, though. They want to paint a. narrative. Other I saw what, uh, Stewart. in Cincinnati. Someone films it and the. caption just says,

>> uh, practice shape is much different. than like workout shape, whatever. I. watched the guy go through like 2. minutes of the drill and he looked fine. Like he looked he was good and explosive. when he went up. Yeah. In between reps, hands on his hips, but he wasn't like. puking. He wasn't dying. I'm like, why. are you trying to say this dude is. dying? Like people are trying to make. things that aren't there. On that note, it's like just like the stats. conversation, which is why JJ Watts. tweet went so damn big. And I would like. to hammer home the fact that JJ is an. internet guy. >> Very good at it.

>> He He's doing TV. Obviously, he'll be. able to do whatever he wants. He owns. two soccer teams now. He's going to be a. bazillionaire. His brother's wealthier. than he is on the football field, but. off the field, what JJ has done, not. only remarkable for the cities in which. he comes from, but also business-wise, very, very good. He's always been an. internet guy. He very much is an. internet guy. Loves to get in the. conversation. Does not mind saying his. opinion. Isn't scared of [ __ ] And. whenever he breaks down the stats. conversation, he does it in a very. accurate way for how the internet has. been. At the beginning, these stats.

start coming out. I think it all started. with Richard Sherman getting cooked in. San Francisco. Richard Sherman was. trying a new something, a new jam or. something. >> and Shanahan showed him showed it to the. team and said, "Hey, I I respect him. doing this. you guys a lot of you guys. don't enough balls to do this because. you know the media and the fans are. there watching camp practice. >> Yeah. So he got killed in he's like hey. he's working on something new like hey. this is this is what practice is. This. is what training camp. >> why we call it practice right? This is. why it's called practice. >> But now it's gotten to the point where. there's so much sports coverage. I mean.

you can even count us in this entire. thing. We're considered obviously sports. media and sports coverage. We're not the. only ones. There's a lot of bloggers, a. lot of people that just go to the. practice that have their own platforms. record videos. Never been through a. training camp. That's not a I'm not. holding that against him, but don't. maybe know what the [ __ ] going on. And. then all that needs is just a little bit. of gas behind it or somebody that. doesn't like the person to kind of. promote it and boom, all of a sudden. that's why him saying like, hey, at the. beginning these stats were fun to talk. about, but now it feels like you guys. are taking them a little bit too. serious.

>> Training camp is not real reps here. Now. there's certain periods where it's like, hey, good on good. This [ __ ] matters. Then there's other parts of practice. where they're trying things. Frith just. they paid him a lot of money. He's going. to be one of the top tight ends in the. league this year. We think we think is. going to be one of very smart, obviously, very intelligent player, very. good football player. He is a veteran. now. He's [ __ ] up in seven on seven. There's a chance other people also. making mistakes. So, whenever you see a. quarterback potentially throw an. interception, maybe the wide receiver. wasn't where he was supposed to be or.

maybe the quarterback threw a [ __ ] ball. or maybe quarterback was trying a. different throw, you know, like, hey, can I get this over a linebacker in. front of a safety if I try this? Nope. Can't. It was a pick. Went back the. other way. Okay, we move forward. It's. hard not to overreact to everything, but. I I appreciate JJ going like, "Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, we got to pump the brakes a. little bit on how much these stats. actually matter cuz we have no idea the. context of any of these periods. >> They don't matter, but at the same time, they do to us because we we're so hungry. for anything.

football right now. So, you see it and. you're invested and you're bought into a. team like you want to see like. Cleveland, they put out the quarterback. stats every day. I'm sure it's going on. here in Indie too with the quarterback. competition, but yeah, you're right. Like there are so many things that go. into what players and what coaches or. what teams are trying to do or trying to. get done. And a guy like Richard Sherman. who knows he's going to be on a roster, yeah, you're going to be working on. things. The rookie that's just trying to. make a team, every rep is like live or. die. But, um, it's different. Everybody's kind of in a different. situation. even like the real game film.

like when you go back and I'll go back. on Sundays sometimes or Mondays you know. putting everything DB together and I. played in those in those in those games. been in those meet rooms but I don't. know the conversations that was had on. the sideline hey if they run this. scissors route we're going to pass it. off we're going to stay with I don't. know but I can take my best guess so we. really don't know the PFF grades we. don't know we don't know but at the same. time. >> all this media the NFL is king for a. reason because so many people care about. it so many people care about everything. but the narratives are dangerous though. because you can create this narrative.

now. Let's say it's Muth here. Two weeks. into the season, he's not getting his. targets or it's an interaction with him. on the sideline. It's like, hey, remember, you know, training camp week. two. So, it's give and take, but but I. mean, that's where we are right now. July 28th, you know, every rep, every. practice rep, every practice stat kind. of matters. >> Him answering that FaceTime in us all. >> Oh, Pat Frier moves. Oh, look who it is. It. was electrifying cuz he sees now the.

internet say that he's pouting trying to. show up Aaron. He's like, "Oh no, not. only that, I ran a wrong." I mean, this. is wrong route. Messed everything up. Oh, now everybody thinks I'm. embarrassing the quarterback and I'm p. I'm not a powder. I I mean, it was like. uh. >> catastrophic to the Fri. >> Oh, yeah. >> Basically, this one play. And. everybody's watching it because oh, Aaron's teammates don't like him. already. He's like, I ran wrong route. Okay, I saw something differently than. everybody else. Can we just move on? And. that's how king to your point the NFL.

is. It's a beautiful thing, but it's. also a fishbowl and you are in it at all. times and all we can do from outside is. just try to read the lips of what's. going on inside of. >> this. I mean, everything that they're. doing with Ben Johnson and Caleb. Williams right now, you know, like. putting out how many picks he's thrown, he's learning a new offense, obviously, but even people like cherry-picking and. putting Ben Johnson's face, you know, for a screenshot from his opening press. conference to like yesterday after. Caleb's been struggling a little bit. It's like, oh no, this guy realizes he's. made a massive mistake. Like almost.

pushing for like a, hey, week four, these guys are going to have a huge, you. know, they're going to get in each. other's faces on the sideline. They. already hate each other's guts. Like. it's it's hilarious. And it's almost. like Bears fans, you know. I mean, granted, a lot of that is uh Packers. fans seeing that and kind of just being. like, "Oh yeah, >> look at this. Look at this. Look at. this." But I'm also fans. >> Yeah. But then you also see Bears fans. like, "Oh, no." Like this this is true. This is what's going on. >> Bears fans deep down. >> They know. >> They have that feeling.

>> Mhm. >> Everything's bad. >> It's always there. >> It's always there. >> Exactly. Right there. So, all they need. is just a little bit in them. And then. the backup starts throwing touchdowns. It's like, wait, wait, wait. Why is it. he can't go over your guy? >> It happened with Jets fans on Friday or. whatever. Just gets carded off. They're. like, "Oh, his ACL. He's done. He's gone. forever. It's just his toe.". >> I saw some people saying it was maybe an. Achilles, you know, cuz they talk about. it. Turns out it was a toe issue, maybe. a fracture, dislocated toe. I think he's. already back out. But they didn't even. have the chance to say new regime, new.

era, new time, new chapter. Jets fans. are just I I got I mean Cole sent me. five text the way I found out about it. >> through a five [ __ ] [ __ ] mother [ __ ] of. course blah blah blah blah blah blah. blah that's how I found out about this. in real time I think as he was getting. carded off I was receiving texts oh they. just turned the golf cart wheel left. bang bang bang bang it was just it was. un talk about on TV. >> yeah the JJ McCarthy stuff too have you. seen this as well.

>> I've seen JJ get buried with a clip from. last year's training camp and like that. is also now. >> throwing his fifth pick today last year. >> Bingo. Yeah. And it's like gez if I. didn't. >> they're in full pads July 21st. Yeah. It's like always a clip of them in full. pads when no one's even barely started. >> I mean get up or first take posted. something and they had to say sorry you. know I mean it's hard time right now. It's hard times brother. I I don't think. you know the internet is a very creative. >> and talented place. >> Mhm. I mean, I saw somebody pull a clip.

from our show from 2023. >> Oh jeez. >> It had the date on the video. Look at. this [ __ ]. >> [ __ ] send it right out there. It's. right on the two years ago. You got. anything to say about. >> I've said a lot. It's been two years. since that whole thing has gone off. It's a wild time on the internet. >> And uh joining us now is a man who knows. all the answers. He will never be. fooled. He's unfoolable. >> because this man is no fool. >> No, no, no. This man's an Emmy award. winner. >> Amen.

>> This guy's been hosting Get Up. You've. been seeing him. >> Crushing. >> Riddle me this. >> List. He's been making list. Some good. list. >> Queen suits. I mean, we're talking. Everybody's in summer. I mean, we're. pretty casual all the time. Everybody in. summer casual. Not this guy. Get a. chance to show. >> Yeah. >> You go and put this up. Real comfortable. on the desk, too. Seen a couple of. these. Ladies and gentlemen, insider, analyst, pundit from ESPN, front of the. program, Pierre. >> Let's go.

>> Hey, good hosting out of you, Bub. I. didn't know you were a host. >> Nord Network. Let's go. I'm here. >> Let's go. >> Same world now, I think, from what I've. been. It's all under the same umbrella. Uh I believe at this point. Yeah, >> I'm here to Hey, I think it was uh. Shalom when he won. He was like, I want. to be Michael Jordan. I want to be the. best. Like that's how I'm here. Like. let's go. I'm not taking anyone's job. anytime soon. But I loved it. I. absolutely loved it. And credit to the. producers and the executives and to.

Greeny and Stephen A and Molly for. letting me do it. But I had a blast. hosting Get Up and First Take. Uh it was. really fun. And to your point, >> football is here. Let's go. Let's go. mess around. >> Shout out to Fosso. I assume he was a. masterpiece of that entire thing. Uh. what a legend. Absolutely. He He's on a. little bit of a world tour right now. >> Can't wait to see him on Wednesday. He's. going to be pumped. 50 and 50, baby. I think it's been going. great. I think it's been going great. Uh, okay. Shrekes, let's talk a little. bit about football. Shall we? Christian. Wilkins deal. Um, so, uh, Sher clarified.

some things. He said that it was a kiss. on the forehead. Players said, "Uh-uh, we ain't doing that." Goes and says, "Get him out of here." Now, they wanted. him to have surgery. He didn't want to. have surgery. I think Michael Thomas in. the Saints had this situation a couple. years back where they thought he should. have surgery. He said, "I don't want to. have surgery." Then season came, he had. to get surgery, missed time. There was a. whole thing. I think this has happened. in the past about how you deal with an. injury, what a player wants, what the. team wants. What are your thoughts on. that whole situation? I I mean, obviously in two, three weeks from now,

Christian Wilkins will sign with another. team. We assume he has a three to four. uh what do you say? Four to six week. >> 12 to 16 weeks. >> Four to 16 weeks. So 3 to four month uh. recovery. If he does have the surgery, we think he'll probably be on another. team. What are your thoughts on that. whole situation over there? strikes. >> Sheper's on it in that this is a I guess. what would he say a quick sonic. individual in some of his stuff that he. did in Miami was embraced and they loved. it but you know he talked to the Bills. players they absolutely hated him the. stuff he would do after the whistle he.

would agitate he was like a you know a. Billard type if you're on the Pistons. but if you were on another team you. couldn't stand this guy well he gets to. the Raiders last year and the hope was. you got him on the inside you got Crosby. uh you got the the the seventh overall. pick Ty Tyrie rejacked from a couple. years ago once like we're going to be a. front seven team. Gets hurt, misses most. of the year and then a whole new brass. comes in and some of the stuff that he. was doing maybe wasn't embraced as much. from the teammates here in Vegas as it. was in Miami. And then of course when.

you've got a new GM and John Spyitech. who comes in from Tampa and a new head. coach in Pete Carol, like we're telling. you to get surgery, you're not getting. surgery. We're going to move on. Now to. your point, he's got a legitimate case. with the PA. It hey like this is my. body. I don't have to get surgery. because the team tells me he's going to. have a voice in this, but with the PA. being in the current state that they're. in, that might be on hold as well. So, he's no longer a Raider. I'm not sure if. he's going to get that money. I would. imagine he's got a good strong chance to. appeal that and we'll probably see some. of that money based on the way this went.

down, but I think it's more of the. latter stuff that Adam was referring to. than the kisses on the forehead. >> Okay, got it. Pete Carol talked his [ __ ]. a little bit last week. He's like, "Hey, I win, man. I don't know what to tell. you. Just look it up." And uh Gino does. too at this stage. I believe in the. Raiders and Max Crosby. I always gonna. believe that Max gonna be able to get. the job done. Maybe this chapter, this. era of the Raiders takes him back to the. Raiders. We shall see. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah. Uh what about the Dolphins? You.

Christian Wilkins old team made me think. about it. I'm watching some clips online. obviously of their training camp. They. got a little little bit of a scuffle I. saw. So it's good to see some life out. of the boys. What are your expectations. of the Dolphins? Uh, we see this here on. the screen. Obviously, them getting a. little bit of, you know, this is nothing. serious, but what do you think about. this team? I feel like this could be a. make or break year for multiple players. and coaches on that staff. >> Oh, I think I think that's how everyone. sees this outside of that building. And. what's interesting is Tyreek Hill in. week 18 had some crazy comments about.

how he doesn't want to be there anymore. and he wants to be traded. And everyone. was like, whoa. Well, then you have a. whole off seasonason. He kind of talks. it back. Talks it back. in Tua's first. press conference, he's like, "There's. still wounds that are open here. Like, we're still trying to figure that out.". And him saying that and what and to me, you start off the training camp 99% of. these quarters be like, "Oh, we're good. We talked about it. That was last year. We're starting new." Tuo was either very. candid, very vulnerable, or maybe saying. something that I would personally, if.

I'm a coach or a GM, like let's not. start off on that foot and say that. we're still not 100% where we want to. be. So, an interesting way to start it, but Tua has been very vocal in post in. press conferences the last couple years. and there's been some real transitions. I think Terren Armstead being a starting. left tackle and announcing, you know, he's no longer there as, you know, as. recently as less than a month ago is a. major major deal. You're asking a team. that is built on speed and is built on, you know, getting a guess a cushion in. September and October before we get to.

those cold weather games that they get. those wins. You're asking that team to. pick it up right away. uh with a gota a. lot of new people. But on the defensive. side of the ball, Chub Phillips, two. huge names that have not been available. at the same time on the field, I think. those are going to be enormous players. in this thing. But I think you ask. around the league, the Dolphins are the. one team that people are like, you know. what, I got my hands I don't know. Is. Tua great? I don't know. Is Tyreek Hill. going to come back to what he used to. be? I don't know. And is Mike McDaniel. still going to be able to motivate these. guys? Or is that ship sailed? I don't.

know. So, one of the great variable. teams as we enter this season, AJ, and. two years ago, they put up 70 points. against the Broncos, and we were like, they're reinventing offense. >> Yeah. And the Steelers said, we'll take. both your Pro Bowlers, >> you know. So, that that that is a uh. interesting dynamic for the Dolphins. fans. It is in the room. One of the. Dolphins fans obviously played. professionally uh so he was able to pick. up a couple other teams to become a fan. of. And then uh post his playing career.

just picked up another team to be a fan. of as well. They just won a Super Bowl. which is a good play. >> Yeah. Why another team? >> Not going to let Hey, not going to let. your shitty franchise control my. emotions throughout the whole. >> especially if other teams have paid you. to be a fan of them in the past. If you. pick up a couple teams, you might as. well pick up a few others, especially if. they're going to win. Let's talk to a. guy who's die hard with the Dolphins. since he was a child. Sherger said. around the league, their hands up. We. have no idea what this team got the. Colts first week, brother. Is this thing. over before week two even gets started. for you guys?

>> I like getting Minka back. I can't. express how much I love that. Jack. Jones, Mike Hilton, huge signings. I. wasn't in, but I said on Friday, you. give me two veteran cornerbacks, I'm. back in. >> before noon on Saturday. Look at us. Here we go. Fins. >> Week one though, problematic. >> I don't know that turf, that corn hus, they can run fast on that corn hus now. >> Yeah, he's going to be down there at. Loud House, Lucas Oil State, and taking. on the Indianapolis Colts, which we know. nothing about either. We hope they're. great. believe ours. >> We are believe ours. We are believe. ours. We saw a guy who looked incredibly.

handsome out at the SB. Ty has a. question for you. >> Yeah, Shrakes. One of the big things a. lot of people are talking about right. now is Stafford and his health. Um, obviously given your relationship m with. McVey, I'm sure you heard the comments, but for everyone who hasn't heard those. comments, this is what uh McVey had to. say about Stafford. >> Okay. >> Um, little update on Matthew. He's doing. really well. Um, you know, we've got a. good plan in place. We are going to. still take some more time with him. though. Um, nothing that's changed in. terms of the setback. I probably spoke a. little bit too soon, but the ultimate.

goal is Houston and being mindful of. that. So, we'll take it a week at a time. with him. So, I did want to be able to. uh, you know, let you guys know about. that based on sitting down with Reggie. and and uh, with Matthew and talking. with Dr. Watkins. Feel like that's the. smart thing to do um, you know, a week. at a time with him. So Shre, I know you. weren't flying coach with MC McVey. anymore, per se, but um what great Yeah, great show. Unbelievable. Would love to. see that comeback. >> Rest in peace. You know, >> what is the level of concern here with.

Stafford? Obviously, everyone knows how. tough he is, but he is getting up there. like if if you're McVey or if you're a. Rams fan, what do you think the level of. concern with uh Stafford's uh health is. going forward? I have to be careful here. because I'm not there every day. But I. don't think there is a great level of. concern as far as Matthew being ready. for week one ready to go. You know, they. don't play preseason anyway, these. starters on the Rams. That's always been. McVeyy's mantra. And I think they're. just being ultra ultra cautious.

Anything you have a back tightness or a. back soreness. But the feeling I get. speaking to people in that building, and. it's not just Shawn, it's others, is. that Matthew's going to be ready for. week one. And all of their doctors and. medical personnel are confident that he. will be ready. And I'll tell you, this. is a team that is built to win now, is a. team that is thinking they can win now. They could take the whole thing. And. their backup quarterback's Jimmy. Garopppolo. So, God forbid, you know, and I'm knocking on wood here, if Jimmy. Garopppolo can run an offense if they.

needed a week here, week there. But. there is no intention for Jimmy to be. the starter to start this. >> debut. Sorry, Shanks. You're an Emmy. award winner, a great host, everything. you do. >> Are we going to have a Jimmy talk? >> Well, people should not be laughing. during your statements. >> Uh, would you like to. >> Well, no. I I when he said Jimmy, I just. flashed back to Jimmy Devonte and. they're teammates in a different place. now, but I just, you know, >> Yeah. There was a lot in that wide. receiver show about how it was going. over there. And then now Jimmy's. playing, >> but that's with McVey. Triggs is too.

close to McVey. He's holding the cards. too tight. He knows. >> that boy Stson is going to race. >> Bennett, huh? Still there. You know, >> he's back still there. I mean, you know, he's there and he's gone. He lives St. Ben lives his own damn life. >> And we respect the [ __ ] out of him. But, uh, Matthew Stafford back by season is. what everybody's saying. And we saw him. piece. Didn't feel like it was a. >> no. >> zero panic. I understand in in, you. know, you look at a headline, you're. like, "Oh, wow." But like zero panic. there. And it doesn't move the needle as. much as say he'll be fine, but he'll be.

fine. >> Okay, Puka. I saw him uh at the ESPs as. well. >> Good vibes. Great vibes. >> He's a rock. >> Hard as a rock. >> That That is unbelie He had a suit on. that was tailored obviously and he looks. like he's Batman with a cape on like the. way he is. He's He's a monster. Dap up. Hug. I give him the Bill Polon slap. >> You know, Bill Pol used to do this to. people first day back. Hey, how you. doing? Come in for a hug. Great to see. you, guys. Great to see. And it's full. pat down just to feel,

>> okay, >> how you doing, okay? And I didn't. realize that until I came back really. fat one time and he was hitting all of. them. Bang in the back and the other one. I'm like, "Oh, this guy's patting me. down right now." Just to see if I'm in. shape or not. It's actually not a bad. play. Not a bad play. So with Puka, we. do the hand slap, then I go in for the. hug. As I do the hug, I realize, holy. [ __ ] this guy is gigantic. And then I. hit him in his back and it was literally. like slapping hands. I'm like Jesus. Christ. Puka is absolutely stacked. That.

team. >> almost had Philly. Now granted almost. almost almost almost. Aaron Donald. retires. >> Who knows what this team's going to be. Have to start over basically with. Matthew Stafford. Now they move on from. Cooper Cup and everything like that. And. that's going to be a storyline. Haven't. heard anything about him back at. Seattle. No. But maybe we will continue. to hear as camp rolls on. But it was. like I don't think anybody was expecting. the Rams to be what they were they were. last year. No, >> watching them do what they did though.

Fun team to watch and McVeyy's offense, especially if Stafford spinning it. Always going to be efficient. >> Yeah. One of the games of the year was. Bill's Rams. You remember that game. where basically no, it was all points. I. don't know. I don't think there were any. punts. And then uh guy that we all. really loved coming out was Blake Corm. They didn't even use Blake Cororm uh. last year too. running back dog. >> Yeah, they're kind of they're they're. sneaky. >> sneaky. >> They won that game. They won that game. on that Sunday and then the very. following week, I believe was Sunday. night and the Eagles just absolutely.

trashed them at home and it was like, all right, how do we rebound from this. and they had a Lions game and and you. look at what happens in the playoffs and. that is what is lingering with them and. McVey tasted it. He thought one more. possession like one more play like this. this could happen. They were so close. and they think they got significantly. better this off seasonason. >> They love they love the tight end out of. Oregon. They love what they got out of. Devonte Adams. So far he's been. unbelievable. Like I hate to do this.

because it's so soon in training camp. We like to see training camp play out. But two big storylines for me are the. Rams and whether they can get even. better. And then the 49ers, if they can. resurrect after what was a a completely. completely forgettable season last year, which they would like to put way back, and they instead of saying, "Let's tear. it down and try it again. They brought. back KD. They brought youth check back. They went and they signed pretty." Like. these were the type these were the two. teams of the NFC West for the last. decade. And both of them think they're.

back and better than they've been. I'm. fascinated to see how it plays out with. those two teams who one of them. surprised some folks, the other one's. really disappointed. >> No chatter about the Niners at all. >> No, >> none. I I don't think there's been any. chatter at all. I don't think I've seen. one Brock party pass on the internet. >> You just had a baby. >> Congratulations, Brock Dad. >> Um. >> I haven't seen any. >> I'm going to Niner stuff. I haven't seen. a single thing either. >> It's probably good though given what. we've seen the last couple years. Is it. as long as we don't hear Christian.

McCaffry's name and Achilles. injuries? >> Yeah, but we we're too early. I mean, that that was. >> four days before. Yeah, early. >> Yeah, that was crazy. I'm excited to. watch these teams be back as well. And. uh. >> congrats to the West Coast doing its. thing. There's a team going all in. though in the Steel City. We'll be there. on Wednesday live from St. Vincent. College. Come see us. Go ahead, D. >> Yes, we will be boots on the ground in. Lro. Cannot wait. uh actually saw some. comments from your old co-host Kyle. Brandt when he sat down with Aaron. Rogers had a great great answer on the.

Terry Bradshaw thing and also spending. time with his teammates. Uh what are you. hearing early on with uh Aaron and his. new squad and how things are going. >> that it's going awesome and that this is. what they envisioned and they were okay. waiting months and months and months. while the rest of us were getting. impatient. They were not. And Mike. Tomlin never pressured him. Mike Tomlin. never told him we need an answer by here. now or when. And when Rogers was ready, he showed up and he has been what they.

had hoped, a veteran presence who is. lifting everyone and galvanizing. everyone. I've taken a lot of heat. already this summer. I've been at ESPN. for about 3 months and I've been leading. this bandwagon of just watch out for the. Steelers. They didn't do all these moves. to finish 10 and seven and miss, you. know, the divisional round again. They. believe they are a Super Bowl contender. and Omar Khan set it on the record. earlier last week and you look at the. moves they're making and when you've got. Rogers for the for for what they're. looking at at 42 years old coming off.

you know two years off Achilles and then. DK paying him what they're paying him. and then the Ramsay move which I know. you like Minka Fitzpatrick but if you're. going to pay a corner you know that. money you're paying a corner that money. you're not paying a safety that money. It was almost like they saw this vision. of Jaylen Ramsay bringing it the same. way they see Rogers bringing it, saying, "Hey, my my career is not done. This. door is not closed." I'm high on. Pittsburgh. I'm curious to see what you. guys think when you get there in the. trobe. But everyone I've spoken to in. the organization is like, "This is not a.

half measure." And as much as you on TV. want to talk about the Ravens, the. Chiefs, and the Bills, we want to be in. that conversation, too. And we belong in. that conversation. >> Yeah, it's tough. the AFC North. Obviously, uh that's going to be a tough. kitchen to get out of. It is always hot. Aaron Rogers is spinning it every video. I see. I assume Arthur Smith is jacked. up. They released Cordary Patterson. earlier today. I know Arthur Smith. probably uh had to hate that. Obviously, the game hates that as a whole. Such a. unique talent. Cordary Patterson. Uh I. remember when he was just a kickoff.

returner. Absolute beast. Then he goes. wide receiver, then he goes running. back, then he goes tight end. And I. think they played him on defense a. little bit, special teams. I mean, he. was an absolute monster. I'm excited to. watch the Pittsburgh Steelers live in. person. We'll have Omar Khan with us on. Wednesday in the 1:00 hour. And here is. what training camp looks like outside of. Latroe. This is like a pilgrimage that. every person in Western Pennsylvania. feels obligated to take at least once in. their life as a child or at least once.

as a family. This is for training camp. And you know, a lot of people talk [ __ ]. about training camp practices and the. intensity of it and everything like. that. A lot of these people will never. be able to get the opportunity to get. Pittsburgh Steelers tickets because. season ticket weight list I think for. the Pittsburgh Steelers like 30 40 years. or something like that. The ticket. prices are insane especially this year. with how old the games are going to be. So you got a lot of people in Western. Pennsylvania are like let's go see these. Steelers build the team that they're. going to build. Plus you get some. interactions. Plus you get a chance to. see it all. It's uh it's a cool thing up.

there in St. Vincent. I I. >> growing up. >> growing up I used to I used to head up. with you know family. We go to Albany. we'd see Ike Hillyard and the Giants. Like that was a real thing. Like when. you like in. >> in August when you get a chance to get. out there and you're going with family. and friends and whether it was the Jets. in Courtland or at Hofra or the Giants. up in Albany, like it was a real cool. experience as a kid. And I think some of. these teams, the Steelers for sure, the. Bills still do it. The Chiefs still do. it. When you get out of the facility and. you go to these college campuses, there.

is something special. I'm happy that. Hard Knocks is covering the Bills this. year because I truly think it's it's a. really sensational thing that they do. when they get into these campus in these. small college environments. It's almost. like real camp and you come out of this. thing galvanized, ready to go, of. course. But for the fans who don't get. the chance to go to a game on Sundays. and who usually are relegated to dealing. with it on their couch, it's awesome to. see these players up close and up front. And I think Latroe does a fantastic job. with it. >> Getting away, eliminating all. distractions, I think, is great. And and.

you know, we talked about birdie just uh. birdie just having a baby or whatever. I. I know a lot of guys that had a couple. kids that didn't mind having to go to. training camp. How long we here for? 17. days. >> All right. Off days, too. Yeah. 19 in. total. Oh, I think Yeah. Okay. We're. going to use those. >> Can I make one more note, though, on the. point you guys were making beforehand. about the popularity of like stats and. what JJ was saying again? I was playing. with NFL Network, but we used to get. like research from Brian Rolap, who is. the head guy. He's now at the PGA.

>> Congrats to him. and roll out. And I. would and I would say, you know, gosh, like we're doing good morning football, three hours on August 2nd. Like, do I. mean, we're doing full shows, we're. traveling everywhere. Like, do we want. to save some of our efforts to the. regular season or maybe spend some of. that money and do it, you know, around. the playoffs? The NFL Network's highest. rated month year after year after year. was August, not February, not January, not December, and August because of the. optimism, because of the excitement, because of the inside training camp.

footage you'd get, and because of. fantasy football. So all those things, it all adds up to why we're so excited. to what Darius was saying, like we're. getting a stat and you don't, you know, we should resist it, but when you see. like a sick catch or you see a sick play. or an Odell Beckham style, like it's. hard not to get excited because we're so. starved for it. August is a time where. all 32 teams and their fan bases think. that this might be the year. There's a. chance. This might be the year. Hey, literally every team thinks that at this. point because there's been showcases in.

the past of teams maybe brand new coach, brand new players, same players, new. vibes, new year. You go from the. absolute outhouse to a penthouse. Maybe. the Panthers. >> You never know. >> Maybe the Panthers are the team that. aren't fully shite this year. T-Max. making an insane catch. I don't know if. you saw this in uh one-on- ones down the. right side. Remember this dude was like. one of the top high school volleyball. players coming out of high school. I. think that helps with his ball tracking. What he did in Arizona was absurd. And. yes, this was glue. This was glue.

coverage. And T-max catch radius is. absurd. And his ability to make. contested catches is what everybody had. been talking about with him. >> Throw perfect throw. >> You talk about the red line all the time. in practice. And and if you throw that. clip back up, you want quarterbacks want. that route receiver to stay on that red. line so they can throw him outside and. make it mo because like AJ said, great. coverage, but once you throw outside and. you got a big frame guy like that, DB. really has no chance outside of taking. him to the ground and try to, you know, punch it out that way. >> What if the Panthers aren't shy?

>> That could be cool. Be good for the. entire uh city down there, but. definitely Ter who has certainly put. himself into a lot of jackpots. On that. note, Tone has a question for you. Yeah, I I do. You talked about, you know, the. the Rams and the Niners being the. biggest storylines that you're looking. forward to. Have you heard anything or. talked to anybody yet that's kind of. surprised you or interested you uh about. a player or team early on in training. camp? >> Yeah, I mean there's there's two players. and one of them is close to me, one of. them is close to to someone in that room.

right there that we could talk about. One is Malik Neighbors is absolutely. tearing up Giants camp and Russell. Wilson's been the one who's been. throwing him the rock for a lot of. these. Apparently Neighbors looks like. he's way better than even last year. dialed in and every single day has just. been unguardable. The other quarterback. and the other player that I think. someone in that room is going to be. happy to hear. I hear Drake May is just. absolutely wonderful so far. Also, again, it's early. These might not be. surprises, but when you get year two. leaps, it means they spent the off. season working and they spent, this is.

the Pop Douglas here. I'm telling you, >> the juice out of Patriots camp right now. about Drake May is very real. And. they'll bring it down because it's back. to that old school style. It's Vrabel, it's McDaniels, it's a lot of those. guys. And they're not going to pump up. their quarterback. But Drake May came. ready to play. Drake May came ready to. work. And I would just say don't be. shocked if we see a year two giant leap. from Drake May. >> They're favored in what, 11 games? >> 11 games. Yeah. >> I mean, the the sports books think that. they're going to be good, too. And Velo.

just wins. >> Yeah. >> That's why whenever he was released or. fired from the Titans, we were all. surprised. Him going back to New. England. Storybook [ __ ] up there. >> Really is like actually genuinely is. goes into the Ring of Honor and he's one. of the most beloved Patriots of all. time. When you talk about, you know, the. history of the Patriots and where they. were and what has happened these last. five years, when you think about what. they were, Mike Vrabel was one of the. first five guys that pops into your. head. >> Look at those Cavs, AJ. The guy's still. working. >> It's a sneaky HBO this morning, too.

>> What was that? Yeah. Most. >> uh defensive player with the most. touchdowns, believe. >> receiving touchdowns. Yeah, I thought. >> because the fridge, I think, had a few. there. Yes. So, this was most receiving. touchdowns. Uh Ma's got it right. >> Mhm. >> That'll probably get broken this year, though, cuz allegedly Bubbain's He's not. coming off the field. >> Well, Travis Hunter would be the person. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, it's going to be Travis. Hunter and Bob Spain kind of. >> Bo Melton. >> Okay. Yeah. Maybe Bo Melton. Let's talk. about Travis Hunter. How many practice. reps did he have there?

>> 70 something. >> Uh yeah, there we go. 83 snaps, 36 on. offense, 47 on defense. And then there's. the highlight of him just smoothly. breaking just so naturally explosive and. his spatial awareness insane. Was able. to get around the potential uh screen. there to break it up and then obviously. celebrates. Looks very easy, effortless. with everything he does. Liam Cohen. obviously he's been brought in there to. make this offense go and Trevor Lawrence. do his thing. Stoner after drafting.

Travis Hunter and training up at two to. get him cut a promo that was like this. is what football is. >> Mhm. >> Football is testing the boundaries. Football is not getting boxed in. Football is about changing the game. forever. Football is about Travis. Hunter. Like he gave this entire speech. basically about, hey, we are here. We. are real. And the reason is because of. this guy. Now you got people on the. defensive side of the ball that are NFL. legends that are like, hey, this guy is. a corner. No questions asked. Then you. got other people like, can we put a. package in for him on offense full time?

I think there's people that certainly. believe that Travis Hunter obviously is. a name that is going to be synonymous. with electricity forever. How does. Jacksonville view him at this moment? And I think we all love that he's. getting work on both sides here. They're. seemingly giving him a real chance at. this. >> Yeah, they're giving him a real chance. and it hasn't been done. We saw Champ. Bailey do it a little bit. We saw. Charles Woodson do it a little bit. Of. course, Dion a little bit. Roy Green, 1981 St. Louis Cardinals, I believe, was. the last wide receiver defensive back to.

play really that many significant snaps. on both sides. They look at this guy as. a number two overall pick that they. traded next year's number one to move up. to get because they think he's a. franchise changer. And for Gladstone. who's 34 years old, and for Liam who's. 39 years old, and for Grant Udinsky, the. offensive coordinator who's 28 years. old, this is a young group who just got. the keys to the castle and they're like, "Hell, why not? Why not? Let's try it. Um, Travis Hunter has been awesome. They. they love what they've gotten out of.

him. Question is the 18week season. How. are they going to be able to manage his. snaps and not burn him out too soon? But. in August, everything is sky is the. limit and they're talking as if this guy. was worth everything they gave up to get. him. >> I think we got to be very thankful that. his college coach believed in him to. play both positions as well. Most places. would have said, "Buddy, you're too good. of a lock down. You're too good of a. wide receiver. You can only do one.". Coach Prime had a plan for him literally. since high school. and it feels like. it's going to work out. On that note, there was some breaking news from a. press conference this hour. Uh Dion.

Sanders and a medical team from the. University of Colorado came out and. revealed information that he had a. cancerous tumor on his bladder. They've. had surgery and uh he said he is now. cancer free, but obviously he released a. video yesterday kind of talking a little. bit about his situation where he said he. had to put a will together. He also came. out and said that he did not tell his. boys about this diagnosis. Just said it. was something with his foot, which he. has already had surgery on and had blood. clots. So, we would like to let Coach. Prime know that we appreciate the hell.

out of him leaving his stuff out of his. boy's life. That is a very admirable and. heroic thing to do, especially in such. an important time of their life while. battling his inner demons and also our. inner cancer and inner problems. And we. would like to let them know, hey, hell. yeah, Prime. Way to beat that. >> Hell yeah, Prime. Thank you, coach. Way. to be. Yeah. Hell yeah. We need them. That was very serious though. >> That's very serious. And obviously the. bladder uh anytime any of your internal. organs catch it. Cancer is something. that can grow and spread. He said if he.

didn't get it checked, it would have. never been this situation. Got it early. find. Obviously had surgery. He's going. to be back. We're uh congrats coach. We. love you, man. >> Important to get those, you know, those. checkups, especially as as. >> that's what he also said at the end of. that message. Everybody go get checked. So, he has the platform and not only. does he share his story, but he. encourages everyone to go get checked, which is gosh, what a message. But. >> I was watching him down there in Texas. all off season. >> and it it didn't feel it felt different, right? Didn't it feel like there was a.

little bit of different but we didn't. really know what was going on? Like. obviously his kids are gone from. Colorado. So, is he done with Colorado. or what's going on here? Everything was. kind of quiet. Didn't hear a lot of. chatter about it all. They go through. their spring. He's kind of away, still. away. Uh, so to hear this diagnosis and. to hear that he beat it, >> hell yeah, Coach Prime. What a. perspective putter. You know, what a. perspective putter for all of us just. thinking about coach Prime who seems. invincible, AJ. And then his foot. happens, his blood clot happens. You're. talking about greatest athlete, Mount.

Rushmore of all time having this take. place. It's a nice learning lesson for. all of us, AJ. >> Yeah, it is. Hey, I had a hamster. growing up named Dion. Dion played for. the Cincinnati Reds, my baseball team. Like, I've been on Dion from when I can. remember, like being on this earth. So. yeah, like the guy is and especially now. you hear like the dude truly is a. positive influence on everyone around. him. It's pretty awesome what he's done. >> Well, if you look good, you feel good. >> You feel good, you play good. You play. good, they pay good. They pay good, you.

live good, you live good, you die good. That's all we're trying to do out here. >> Coach Primer, we're happy you're still. with us, brother. And way to beat that. ass of the bladder cancer. That's scary. That'd be a scary diagnosis. Oh, yeah. >> That's a scary thing. Even like um I. don't want to say even because it's very. serious. People get like skin cancer. diagnosed anytime you hear the. >> oh yeah. >> the sea it's like all right we got to. fight here bladder scary happy he is. okay. All right on that note um happy. >> was a big name around the internet this.

weekend. Connor has a question for you. Peter. >> Yeah Peter I could kind of tell when you. first popped onto the screen you had a. little pep in your step. You're a little. happier. I assume it is because you know. the Sandman did it again. Uh, newest. best picture nominee, Happy Gilmore 2. was released this weekend. All the boys. were in it. I mean, Kel, the golfers, Willie, I mean, shoot, Marshall was in. there. Uh, what did you think of Happy. Gilmore, too? Did you also think it was. a home run just like everybody here at.

the Thunderdome did? And, uh, you know, I just also like to take this time to. say thank you to Adam Sandler for. continuing to fill our lives with. unbelievable movies. >> That's right, Adam. Hey, Sam, man. Thank. you for the content. Love you, Sam. What. you think? >> Have not seen it. >> You son of a [ __ ]. >> Was watching was watching the two-part. Billy Joel documentary that has me up. Heard it's really good. >> Unbelievable, guys. I mean, I'm talking. about you want to talk about for six. hours of your life to just be glued to.

the television. Ups and downs. >> He's got four ex-wives, actually three. ex-wives and a current wife, all on. camera talking about him and doing so in. a loving way. Hey, I'm like this man has. lived a life. 76 years old. >> The sand man. >> Let me tell you about this about about. Billy Joel before we get to Tabby Gumar. We won't even get to because I didn't. see it. Um. >> Billy Joel, >> you should have seen it. >> Billy Joel, okay, one of the great. songwriters of all time, musicians, whatever. He he he his wife was his. manager. They get divorced. His wife is.

no longer his manager. Who does he hire? He hires his ex-wife's brother to be his. manager moving forward. Has about 10. number one hits. He's touring the world. He's married to Christy Brinkley. Life. could not go better. He looks at his. bank account. He has zero dollars. Why? Because Frank Weber, his ex-wife's. brother, who was his manager, stole it. all from underneath him. And then he has. to come back. So, he goes on a 10-year. tour of traveling to to Indonesia and to.

Russia just to make the money back. And. then he comes out with with We Didn't. Start the Fire. It's the number one hit. in the world. And he takes it all back. and he makes all the money back. >> Some would say kind of a weird thing to. hire your ex-wife's brother-in-law to do. something so important and have access. to all of your money. >> He may have been boozed up at the time. He's a pretty legendary booze hound. >> Yeah. Well, hey, just living too. >> Yeah, exactly. >> I like that he had to build himself. twice. A lot of talent there. He's piano. man, right? >> Yeah. >> What a song. >> Came on this weekend. >> Always hits. >> Davey. >> Yep.

>> Still Davey. Mhm. >> And it probably will be for what a. banger. Oh yeah. >> Think about him performing that live in. Indonesia. >> They're all doing it. I saw Yay over in. >> perfect. He's going to Russia in 10. days. He needs the money. He's got a big. I mean he needs He has no money left. He. He had 20 number one hits, had no money. Goes on the road and wins it and makes. it all back. So Troy Aman was posting. about it from Instagram. I'm texting. Troy. Troy and I both are like just.

Um yeah, I don't have. to watch a sixhour documentary. I got. it. >> Thanks. >> Ex-wife's brother-in-law stole his. money. Ex-wife has to speak positive. because guess what? >> Yeah, she's part of the thing. So, Billy. Joel, proud of you, buddy. >> Love you, Bill. >> There you go, Bill. Just like we love. you, Shregs.

Go out see a game. >> Yeah, go see a game. >> What's going on in the MLB? There's some. magical stories happening actually. Congrats to CC Sabathy and the boys. First B Hall of Famer. Happy for him. It. feels like baseball is uh in the middle. of a great time. A lot of positive [ __ ]. going on with the MLB. Go see a game. 30. bucks off Pat with our friends at CGE.

But congrats to baseball. >> Yeah, without a doubt. CC going in was. really sweet, especially as a Yankee. fan. His uh his speech was was awesome. Thanking his mom and his daughters and. his wife, etc., etc. Uh he's he's one of. like the last guys I I know Hembo uh put. out a stat about. I mean, he's like one. of the last true workh horses. They. don't let pitchers really throw the. amount of innings um like he does or he. did, I should say. Uh 2008, you know, he. he got traded to the Brewers midway. point. It was like a walk year. It was a.

contract year. He was he was definitely. not going to stay with the Brewers, but. he played with them for half a season, started 17 games. He threw seven. complete games in those 17 games. And. these are his last three starts. He. basically put the Brewers on his back to. get him into the playoffs. Look at the. amount of pitches he's throwing there. and the amount of innings. Like that. kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore. All on three days rest, too. Like CC was. just he was a goat. He was a goat. And. uh the other big story right now, Cal. Raleigh has kind of the big.

>> the big dumper has continued to dump on. people, if you will. Uh you look at all. of like the historically what he's doing. as a catcher, the uh the the record for. most homers in a year for a catcher is. 48. He could he could just be terrible. for the rest of the season and he should. eclipse that. As of right now, he is on. pace to pass Aaron Judges 62 homers, which would be the AL record. Um I don't. know what year. >> is that it's Johnny Bench catcher. >> Yeah, Johnny Bench who.

>> Johnny Bench is probably one of AJ's. goats. >> Jason Kendall. >> Absolutely. >> What age don't count? Jason Kendall. >> Nobody can touch Johnny Bench. Well, Bonito Santiago, he was a very good. catcher. Oh, Jason [ __ ] Kendall can. catch any catcher that needs. >> great as well. If we're talking. defensive metrics, pop time, etc., etc., throwing guys out at second base, >> Jason Kendall is going to be right. >> Okay, >> from his knees. Bonito invented throwing. people out from your knees. So, let's. slow down. >> That is true. Bonito Santiago also a big.

snap back behind, you know, throwing it. to first base from. >> Yeah, exactly. picking guys off. Uh Cal. Raleigh, though, has had his July has. been terrible. He's bat 176. He's still. hitting the homers, but like even with. that, he's still on pace to break the AL. home run record. And yes, he did pass. Judge uh in the American League MVP. odds. Uh Judge has a flexor strain in. his elbow. Uh they thought he might have. had like a a full UCL tear, which would. have been Tommy John. He would have been.

screwed. So, he's going to be on the. 10day IIL. He said, "Hey, listen. And if. I can hit, I still want to be out there, but obviously if he is uh if he's out, the Yankees are [ __ ] So, >> congrats to baseball still being. awesome. We appreciate the hell out of. them. We will certainly continue to. follow along with the season. Congrats. to the fattest ass in sports. >> Kyle Raleigh continuing to do historic. things. Golf happened. Bubba Watson. obviously dude drives off deck on 10 and. 13. He comes in second. What's that. buddy? >> Kirk Kitty Alama won the PG at 3M Open. on PJ tour.

>> Okay, I know that guy exists for sure. >> 60 on Saturday. >> Love the way he golfs. I met a guy that. shot a 60 twice named Stick. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Friends with Morgan. Yes. >> Guy's unbelievable golfer. Probably the. best golfer I've ever golfed with. Will. that change as Liv comes here to. Indianapolis in a few weeks? >> Maybe. Shout out to Liv. Shout out to. PGA. Shout to baseball. Shout to. football being all the way back. We. can't thank you enough for allowing us. to do this for a living. We'll be back. tomorrow if you'll have us. Wednesday. we'll be in St. Vincent College and then.

the Hall of Fame. We'll be back. tomorrow. Be a friend. Tell her friends. something nice might change their life. Goodbye. All right. When they I want to. call it St. Vincent University. It's St. Vincent College. >> Yeah. >> Really? >> And I guess Tone's dad was in town this. weekend. >> He was. >> just so many hard lay. all week unironically. That's just who. he is. How he talks. >> You guys got any good early Lro. memories? The bus picked up. So I asked my I thought I saw a photo of.

me as a little boy. I had white hair. My. brother had white hair. >> And I think my dad took us up there. >> And I think KG I think uh I think I. Kevin Green. >> I think so. Yeah. I think I think Kevin. Green was very affable with all the fans. and going around with them. >> I I looked I asked my mom to look for. the photo. Couldn't find it. But I do. remember in my head I remember being. there. And uh I think the big thing is. Steelers have always had just like I. don't want to say local legends because. obviously they're in the NFL now. So the.

entire country knows him. But like. >> Steelers players. >> are revered by Pittsburgh people. >> in such high all the time like all of. the players. >> forever. >> So there's been so many legends of the. Steelers and it's like training camp was. the only time. >> that you could really get up and like. see them and meet them and take. pictures. Now obviously with social. media and podcast and everything you see. there's so much more access to people. But if Fedco wasn't talking to him, >> sure. >> Okay. I ain't know [ __ ] about it. So. like the things that were coming out of. training camp and the pictures and.

people, it's like it's cool. It's one of. those things that's like very much a. pillar of Western Pennsylvania is the. Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. And I. assume there's other places that are. like that as well. Obviously the Packers. have great history with the bikes and. everything like that. You talk about the. old school teams, which the Pittsburgh. Steelers definitely are, but it is very. much like uh. >> like a hey, this is a part of our. fabric, the training camp as a whole. And I think people appreciate it because. uh Pittsburgh is a working time and. training camp is literally work. So it's. like a uh it's really just like a.

perfect. collision of everything that is the. city, which is why it's going to be so. cool to be able to go there. I guess. there's a little bit of a buzz of us. going there. But even if we weren't. going, there would be a [ __ ] buzz. because it's training. >> They're saying the most Sorry. Go ahead. >> No, no, those are insane. I feel like. Pittsburgh probably has the most like. players who used to play there who then. stay and live in Pit like their Yeah. raise their families. Yeah. Like a. college. >> It's like a college team in training. camp is just like always at the same. place. >> All I remember Casey [ __ ] Hampton.

walking into these St. Vincent college. dorms with a pillow and a bed and. they're like, "How you doing this year?". Casey like I'll lose weight for probably. next two weeks. But it was like the. same. It was the same exact dorms. same. exact it's like just you know it's just. tradition. It is like a college like the. Pittsburgh Steelers are run like a. university because there's so much you. know kind of stay with the entire. franchise. >> Yeah. And I'm not I'm not sure how it is. for every other program but I saw like. last week Kiesel was there, Troy Palmo. was there, Ike Taylor was there, Joey. Porter senior was there. Um Casey like.

they all they all roll through every. training camp and I don't know if that. how how uh rare and. >> that is not like that is not normal. I. don't think other teams definitely have. people that stop by, but the Steelers, it seems like every year they have tons. of their old legends coming back. >> The Blitzes. >> Go ahead. Yeah, Tom, I was about to say. Go ahead. >> The the blitzes, they keep the names, right? Isn't that the. >> Yeah, dog blitz. There's a couple other. blitzes that they keep the same. So, when the boys come back, they can. actually just go stand in seven and. understand what's happening. Like those. are the finer details that like,

>> you know, hey, let's make this a real. >> It's awesome. Imagine being a player. Imagine being no matter what if you're a. rookie, young kid, or even a vet on the. team, having these dudes that you grew. up watching like and they're like. they're like relate. Hey man, when. you're when you're when you're about to. blitz on that one, they know what you're. running. Hey, don't don't show it. I saw. you peeking up. You know, you have to. wait in the front of your front of your. feet. You're leaning a little bit. The. quarterback like imagine getting tips. like that in a training camp practice. Like, okay, thanks Troy Palamalu. He was. there. Feels good. >> Troy's I guess Troy's boys were uh ball. boying, you know, which is like so much.

a part of like that is it just even more. feeds it all. Wow. >> But him just like just hanging out back. there. I mean, he's forgotten more about. football than all those [ __ ]. >> So good. >> on every field. And it's like, hey, uh, can you get Jesus to tell me what's. going to happen? Cuz it feels like that. was kind of your thing. I think Troy. could probably go out. >> I think he could probably make Pro Bowl. this year if he wanted to just because. he would know exactly. >> How do he always know? >> Dime backer.

>> How'd he always know? He always knew. >> instinct his his instincts were I mean. >> film. >> top top top yeah film for sure but I. feel like his like feel for the game. sometimes you could like him Ed Reed. Charles Woodson Honey Badger like some. of those guys just had a different feel. uh for the game like almost like yeah. the football gods are on their side like. the ball finds a way to find them all. the time they always have an instinct of. something like you talk about that fake. you know the fake kick like just. something off that he may have felt that. that he saw man but those those guys.

were profession and Troy was one of one. for sure. >> I saw you I saw him jogging on the field. with a little bit more possession. >> Yeah, >> that's what he said. >> I gave it away. No way. >> This is me. >> Probably Vinnie. >> got a little pep in your step. He could. he could tell scoring touchdown in. Pittsburgh. Yeah, I was probably pretty. jacked up. >> Brandon ear to ear. Troy sees you. >> We're doing it. >> I did not do that. >> Doing high knees before he get in there. >> Practice it with. >> Were you Were you going to run it in? >> Yeah. Walk it in. Actually, the way it.

was. >> Well, what if he would have what if he. would have like messed with you even. more and he let you keep it on because. he knew he's like, I am going to kill. this guy. >> Earhole. because the way that was supposed to be. set up, you've seen it. I mean, the fake. has been run so many times. Literally, the holder just gets up and can just. kind of walk right in cuz they overload. on one side. All you need is your guard. to pull standard stuff and it should. just be. >> you should be able to get a freight. train through there. There should be no. problem if you can get up. That is all.

we need you to do here. Catch the ball, get up, and walk the paint. That is. literally what it was. Congratulations. You're scoring a touchdown. Thank God. That's what I [ __ ] I got to dance, too. I I'm going to do my [ __ ] when I. get in there. >> in Pittsburgh. Are you kidding? >> Were you going to dump the ball out? Were you going to poop the ball out? >> No, I was going to dunk it. Okay, first. of all, definitely going to do that. Okay, Vinnie, you got to kick a 45 yard. extra point and then uh I was probably. going to do the uh disappearing act, you.

know, with the handkerchief. >> Oh, yeah. Your magic. That would have. been a good good. >> Oh my god, it would have been a full key. and peel skit. We're dunking that thing. Don't touch me yet. >> Yeah, >> you know, make that [ __ ] disappear. Ref. throws throws the flag. I pick that. [ __ ] up obviously. Start putting that. thing in. >> Did you have Did you have it on you? >> Yeah. What would you handle? >> I had [ __ ] on me. >> Yeah, like Oakland. Uh we played Oakland. Christmas Eve.

>> We were supposed to call a fake. I got. tackled by Darren. Uh I think Darren. Bates, I think, killed uh killed me. >> Um I was supposed to score a touchdown. there. I had the [ __ ] thumb. I had. the handkerchief. >> in my hand thing. I was right. I was. pulling that [ __ ] out. We're doing it. I was prepared. Be prepared. Awesome. >> Be prepared when you get in there. Yeah. $100,000 fine. [ __ ] Vinnie, you're. going to have to take a 50 yard extra. point. Okay. I don't know. Act like. you've been there before. I haven't. And. I never will again after this. So. >> Steve, too. >> Oh. >> Hell yeah. Black hole. >> Instead, they ruled a fumble even though.

I was dying for sure. And [ __ ] six. guys on top of me. [ __ ] Jesus. This. is not how this was supposed to go. Guy. had to pull. It was supposed to be on. one side, you know, cuz guard was going. to pull. It was supposed to be on one. hash. I forget. Maybe the right hash. inside red zone. We're on left hash at. like 35. [ __ ] it. need to run it. It's. like, well, the guard pulling now is a D. lineman, not an offensive guard. This. guy's never pulled before. >> I call the play. He goes, "This ain't. what we're doing.".

>> I hit a guy with a [ __ ] spin move. You see this? You ever seen this? >> I don't know if I mean I'm sure I have, but I can't think of it. >> I Right in the middle. I thought I had. Boom. I hit him with one of those. >> I thought I had a spin. Dislocated the. kneecap, too. Nobody's talking about it, but boom, hit him with a spin. >> He hits my one leg into my other leg.
