Damn it. >> Your [music] friend, tell a friend. something nice could change their life. Hello beautiful people and welcome. [music] to our humble abode, the. Thunderdome on this massive overreaction. Monday, November 3rd, 2025. This program. begins [music]. right now. football is majestic. [music] We are so. incredibly lucky that we get a chance to. chat about it every single day. And week. nine of the NFL season has delivered.

And tonight it wraps up as the Cardinals. will travel into Jerry World take on the. Dallas Cowboys. They're three and a half. point favorites at ESPN. Bet you can get. them at just three-point favorites. Jacobe Brassette will be a quarterback. for the Arizona Cardinals with Tyler. maybe having some sort of role. Interesting situation over there. And. then for Dallas, we just saw Stephen A. in first take live from Jerry World. That looked like a sick setup down. there. And anytime you get the playmaker. on TV, it's fantastic. Cam Newton. obviously bringing the juice. And Dan. Rolovski looking so damn nice, didn't. he? compion. He was glowing. His hair.

looked perfect. He'll be joining us in. the second hour of today's show. Shay. and obviously Stephen A doing his thing. down there. Looks like a place though. that's obviously ready for a prime time. matchup. Looks like a place that knows. that their team can be great. Will this. week be the week where the Dallas. Cowboys step up to the plate and become. dominant against an Arizona Cardinals. team who has lost a lot of games, but. they've all been pretty close. >> Arizona Cardinals can go into Jerry. World. May really turn this place upside. down. getting a big time dub on Monday. Night Football with Jacobe Brassette. leading the way. That's what we'll be.

chitchatting with Dan Olowski about in. the second hour. Adam Sher will be. joining us here after the first 15. And. then we'll also do baseball. Okay, we're. going to do the baseball in the second. hour about 1:20. Uh Jet Passin is. currently committed to us at 1:20, but. we got calls into the Dodgers. [laughter] So if there's any Dodgers. players right before they hit their. parade are able to join the show at. about 1:20, we might have to put Jet uh. push Jet to tomorrow. Okay. might have. to do that. Jet is learning about that. right now as we speak. But we got some.

lines in the water over there for the. Dodgers cuz we like to chitchat from the. wonderful team that just went back to. back to win the World Series. [applause]. >> Congratulations to them. People aren't. happy about the way they won about. winning it. But I'll tell you what, it's. legal. It's allowed. They did it. Will. they be the ones that cause some guard. rails in the next negotiation on what. these contracts could be? Is baseball. about to transform completely from what. they've been this entire time where at. the top they're going to spend a lot of. money. Blue Jays fifth highest payroll. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> There's a lot of teams in in the league.

>> Blue Jays fifth highest. >> Yeah, they're up there. >> Everybody's calling them like the. Pittsburgh Pirates. People are talking. about them like they're the Pirates. Pirates way down here. Pittsburgh where. I'm from. Pirates way don't spend any. money. So you got Pirates fans that love. baseball. Okay. We love baseball. Got a. lot of history. And they're watching. this Dodgers team win. And they're like, they're paying one guy more than our. entire our entire roster is down here. How is this fair? Well, that's going to. be the convo now. And because the. Dodgers win and the Dodgers uh spend a. lot of money, they're going to be. looking for defenses as well. And.

they're going to say, "Well, the Mets. spent more than all of us. They didn't. even make the playoffs." So, this is. like a tush push conversation. If it's. so easy just to spend money and win, well, how come the Mets aren't doing it? That's what the Dodgers say. It's a. little bit different animal. We'll talk. to Jet or a Dodger at about 120. The. toxic tables here at Boston Corner. Hey, Patriots. >> Still going. still going. >> Long [applause] longest uh win streak in. the NFL right now. Let's keep it going. >> Very real team up there in New England. Such a culture shift from last year to. this year. And another, you know, kind. of stepping stone for Drake May is just. being able to do it all the time. And he.

does. Congrats to your Patriots. You. have to be immensely happy with where. you guys are at. Leading the division. over there. Leading the division over. there. Now in Tai uh at Tai Schmidt, Carolina Panthers, good football team. >> Good football team. >> That's good football team. I mean, what. a tough game to watch. just optically. But on that note, Carolina Panthers, good football team. >> It's a good football team. >> We're not worried about the Packers at. all. Panthers, good football team. >> Sure. >> Tough football team. Tough football. >> Pretty football team. >> Hard nose football team. >> That's what they are. >> Yeah. Packers, everything's okay.

>> Yeah. Everything's Panthers. Good. football team. That's what happens when. you play a good football team on Sunday. Sometimes you're going to get beat. So, yeah. Boy, that was tough to watch. But. again, Carolan, good football team. That's what you're saying to yourself if. you're the Packers. And by the way, Panthers might be. Yeah. I mean, actually, that was an ugly game on both. sides and you're going to have to be. able to win some of those games to be a. great football team. Panthers though. over the last month have shown a very. different side. Now, they lose. They. have they certainly haven't been perfect.

and things like that have happened. But. with that team and what the culture. they're building, they're not a bad. football team. So, I think a lot of. people think back to when the Panthers. were selling 15 tickets and there was. nobody at the games and they think that. they're completely ass. So whenever they. beat the Packers or something like that, Packers fans go, we lose to the. Panthers. >> Yeah. >> Are you kidding me? >> 13 and a half point favorites. >> That's why we got to remind people, hey, Panthers, good football team. That's. good football team. Let's go to one half. of the hammer down Cowboys, AP Tone. Might be a great football team. >> Might be a great football team over. there in Pittsburgh. You know, that.

three river town is obviously a football. town and they've been kind of skirting. around the the outskirts of mediocrity. for a long time. Okay, we've been having. winning seasons, but we haven't been. able to go to the Super Bowl. We haven't. been able to field a team that we can. see in the season that we will have. confidence in that can maybe make a run. This offseason, they change the entire. game plan for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They spend $30 million a year on a wide. receiver that's never done anything for. Pittsburgh. Trade them in from the. Seattle Seahawks and DK Mechaf. They pay. Aaron Rogers 10 million a year, bring.

him in to be the quarterback because. they've been trying to figure it out. Darius Slay, Jaylen Ramsay, John Smith, you're talking about making plays all. over the field and all over the roster. basically signifying, hey, we're going. all in. Cam Hayward, who's been there. for a long, long, long time on defense, he said, I think we all kind of. understand what's happening. You know, we don't know how much time we have left. here and uh uh we appreciate that the. Steelers are going for it. >> And they played against the best team in. the NFL. >> Yeah, they did. >> They played against the best team in the. NFL. And uh whenever I I started watching. that game, >> I thought to myself, wow, we're going to.

win this thing pretty easily, just like. we all thought. Maybe the Colts win by. 60 with the way the Steelers defense is. going. And Danny Dimes comes out there. and justum bum bum bum bum right there. >> Daniel Jones's guy just Hey, Daniel. Jones is crushing it. Boom boom boom. boom. >> Man, we're going to do it. We're going. to kill it. Then all of a sudden, your. guys' team just decided to start playing. like everybody thought they were going. to start playing. Still Curtain was all. the way back. Six forced turnovers, including obviously a muffed punt that. is not able to be advanced. A lot of. people from Pittsburgh are saying that. should have been a touchdown. I thought. Pittsburgh was a football town. You.

can't advance a muff. That that has been. a rule since the very beginning. If the. ball is possessed then fumbled, you can. take it. But if it just hits somebody, cannot be advanced just like in an. on-site kick like certainly what we saw. yesterday. But a lot of Pittsburgh. Steelers fans, I think, were seeing. yesterday what they thought this team. could be. And Colts fans had no idea. that they were just going to so happen. to show up against us. But the little. thing that nobody brought up and Bill. Coward tried to tell us on Friday night, >> he did. >> I'm going back down there. for me in a. boys he said it's going to be in the. building going to take a hope I take a.

picture with me Ben Aaron and coach. Tomlin and they do okay then they get. obviously honored and recognized this. team right here you know busy's team. that went into Detroit his hometown and. wins a Super Bowl to send him out of. there amount of legends in Pittsburgh. that are just on that the amount of. legends in this photo right here just. goes on and on people that you haven't. even really thought of in a long time. pop up in this photo and you're like. holy hell that guy used to run this city. if he really wanted to let alone Bill. Cai going back in there was a lot of. influence I think from what this team.

was and represented which Pittsburgh. people say this is our city this is. exactly who we are. >> and then you watch that Steelers team. yesterday it did feel like they drew a. little inspiration and we should have. remembered that and thought of that and. maybe called ahead of time and said hey. can we do this. >> another game you know another game maybe. instead of against the Indianapolis. Colts because we haven't been able to. beat Steelers for a long time this is. supposed to be a get back game for all. the times that I played against. Pittsburgh Steelers and we just got. absolutely killed. Instead, it was very much similar the. same. Seven-point ball game. Okay. You.

can't win any game with seven turnovers. Seven point ball game. >> Ball game. >> Seven-point ball game. Yeah, we kicked a. field goal with 13 seconds left and then. we had to attempt an onside kick and. then we would have been a Hail Mary if. we would have got it. But instead, DK. Mechaf, I believe, pulls it down and uh. it's game set match. But the Pittsburgh. Steelers, this is exactly who you guys. thought you could potentially be. Is. this is this what the Steelers thought. and hoped they could be? And guess what? There's enough time left in the season. for this to become the reality for the. Pittsburgh Steelers. >> Yes, it is who we all thought the. defense could be. And they the. frustrating part about the last two. weeks is they've the previous weeks they. had shown flashes of that that they can.

do this. This could be the defense that. they could be. And in the last two weeks. they just got absolutely torched. And I. think it was Dan Orloski who came on. earlier last week and said like the. Steelers defense is just they're doing. more than I've ever seen them do. Meaning getting into multiple personnel. sets, different coverages, and they were. screwing themselves. Yes. or yeah, yesterday they had uh Jaylen Ramsey. playing safety and then Kyle Duggar who. they just traded for coming and play. safety and they simplified everything. They were playing fast. They were flying.

around obviously creating turnovers and. then you talked about that that 2005. team being in the building. There's a. lot of people saying Dick Leau came. straight from that picture straight to. the sideline to coach the defense. yesterday. But no, like they're now two. and0 on the season when croing creating. five plus turnovers. So, you know, if we. could get five plus turnovers each game, the offense did just enough to to, you. know, punch in after those turnovers. But no, that whole team being there, the. defense flying around yesterday, it was. it was an awesome it was a good way. It. was a good reset win. >> Here's the Steelers this season. They've. have uh 63 points off of turnovers.

That's the most in the NFL. These are. some Hembo stats. And they have 16. takeaways, which is the second most, but. their defense ranks 25th in points per. drive whenever it doesn't result in a. takeaway. So there's a lot of left on. the bone, you know, playbyplay, says. Hembo for the Pittsburgh Steelers team. But man, they looked a lot better than. they had looked. And as soon as you put. the eyes on that team started flying. around, it's like this is what the. Steelers fans all envision. Whenever we. were at training camp, >> this is exactly what they were thinking. about. And Aaron Rogers having quite a.

moment on multiple moments. It's like. they can do it. Feels like they feel. they could do it. And the Colts, seven-point loss. Hey, it's our second. loss of the season. These things are. going to happen. Let's come forward. Danny Dimes had some incredible throws. Had some tough moments. There was some. maybe a little miscommunication on some. routes and stuff like that. Can't be. muffin punts. There's a lot of. misfortune, too. And it might be because. the 2005 team was there. But I think the. Colts have all taken the right mindset. They're heading over to Germany. Okay. And we need nine turnovers. And that's. [laughter] not nine the number that's.

nine null turnovers in the German. language this upcoming game. Congrats to. the Steelers. Congrats to the Steelers. Steelers. Really good football team. Very good football team. You know what a. really good Seg is that we have found. >> Well, it's nowhere near accurate to the. timer place in the lower right corner of. the screen. Now, it's nowhere near. accurate with the time. You know, this. says 15 minutes. It's called the first. 15. But remember, first 15 means. scripted plays. That's right. His first. 15 plays of the drive. Nobody's saying, "Hey, first 15 plays that need to be. like in the first minute and a half or. two minutes of the game." No, cuz that.

drive might extend. First 15 plays. driven by Ram, which whenever you hit. the gas pedal in one of those Ram. trucks, the only sweet sound that you. can hear is. we ride [clears throat] on clouds. obviously and we're floating on clouds. whenever we get a chance to talk about. ball for the first 15 scripted plays of. the program. That has gone 42 minutes. But let's go ahead and hit that clock, start that clock right about uh now. Top. five headlines from NFL week 9 Sunday. slate. Well, the NFL found its fast. ball, did they not? Nine out of the 12.

games in yesterday's slate were one-sore. games. Remember, this follows a. historically ass weekend for the NFL. The NFL only had one outcome last. weekend that was within a one-score. game. It was the worst weekend of NFL. football since 1970. That's 55 years. Then Thursday night goes the way that it. goes and all of a sudden you're kind of. [ __ ] talking the NFL offices. Uhoh, you. guys might have lost it. First time in. 55 years. No, you guys going to go back. to back.

>> Oh no. >> Are you guys turning into soccer? >> Oh no. >> Oh no. Is that what's happening to the. NFL? And then all of a sudden the NFL. calls back and says, "We up, baby. What. a week. What a slate. Let's go to. Bengals Bears." Now this one was. absolute insanity. Let's head right to. an onside kick here. 4135. The Bengals had just scored to make this. a one-sore game. Need an onside kick. McFerson goes to bend one back. It's not. going to go 10 yards. Ah, it doesn't. matter. Touches the foot of a Bears. player. Bengals recover. Joey Flack has.

a chance to bring him back because this. guy gave a toe. tap to the ball. Bengals rock. Joey. Flax's got it now. Hold on. Everybody. understands what's about to take place. Joey Flack walks him down the field. Maybe too fast. Maybe too fast. Delivers. an absolute seed to Andre Yosvivos. Incredibly cool tatted man. Higgins head. massive game. Jamar massive. Chase Brown. massive. Yosh massive game. No punts.

This team unstoppable. Nope. I don't. think so. You can't give Caleb Williams. 50 seconds in one timeout. Caleb marches. down the field. Third and 10. We pick up. on his own. 28. Scrambling doing some. Caleb [ __ ] This man walked in to the. NFL with the ability to electrify. People were calling him maybe the next. Mahomes. Had we seen it yet? Go. Ary. picks up a huge first down. Continues to. drive. Now on zone 42. First and 10. 25.

seconds left. No timeouts. We just spent. it. What's he going to do with it? Oh, how about the first tight end drafted? Coen Lovelin over the middle. One. tackler. Two tackler. No tacklers. Gone. [screaming]. Cost Lovelin scores a gamewinning. touchdown after nobody decides to cover. him or tackle him in the most important. part of the game, the final minute of. the fourth quarter and the Chicago Bears. steal a dub in Cincinnati away from Joey. Flack and the Bengals. What a drive by.

Caleb Williams. Now, a lot of people are. going to say that Bengals defense is. ass. Oh man, certainly a lot worse. A. lot of guys on that defense saying, "Please, for the love of God, can you. get me out of here?". >> Yeah, there are. >> four guys in the last 6 months who trade. me. Trade me. Okay. Not happening a lot. Normally, it's like agents and teams. behind the scenes having conversations. Now, it's being made public. Boom. Get. me the hell out of town. Boom. Get me. the hell out of town. Boom. I'm not. signing this contract. That's kind of. how it's been for the Bengals on.

defensive side, let alone with Trey. Hendrickson whenever this whole thing. started. uh draft uh Super Bowl radio. row. I mean, here uh in the history of. the NFL allowing 160 on the ground and. 260 through the sky. Uh one of those or. the other is going to be a glaring. weakness. People are going to attack it. Well, the Bengals defense says actually. won't do both. [laughter]. >> Let's go ahead and let them do both. You. Hey, you have it your way around here. You can have it your way. You want to go. on the ground, be [ __ ] best in the. league. You got it. You want to go. through the sky, be the best in the. league. You got it. And it's almost as. if this was predictable.

>> Was this predictable? Well, >> I mean, huh? >> I don't know. >> Interesting. >> Anyway, the whole conversation in the. offseason was you pay two number ones, which they are. >> Yes. Very good. >> If T Higgins would have went to another. team to be their number one, he would be. >> Yep. >> by far the number one. And Jamar, same. exact unbelievable. >> Pay Joey Burrow. Now he's hurt. Got Joe. Flacco. Good news. >> He'd come here kind of do the same. thing. He's absolutely crushing it. Pay. him. >> Okay. Can you win like that? Everybody. was saying going into the year.

>> everybody was saying your defense wasn't. good. What what you do on that side? He. said we got a new DC. >> Has guy really ever done we got a new. DC. >> See how good's defense was last year? Cincinnati. >> Has he ever we got a new DC? Don't worry. about it. >> And they've just been ass. And everybody. that saw the way they built their team. going into the season says yeah. It's. almost as if every football person told. you that's not how you can actually win. football games in football. Especially. in 2025 when the Eagles just proved. >> that what you need to do is run the. ball, stop the run. And the Bengals said. we'll be able to throw it though. >> a lot.

>> And uh we might not be able to stop the. run or the pass, which is what stats are. saying, but that defensive side was. glaring weakness going into season. And. now it's turning into kind of biting him. in the ass. And on that note, Caleb. Williams. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Can't leave Caleb that much time. >> No. >> Can't leave Caleb that much time cuz he. has the number uh the first uh tight end. drafted right there down the middle. Good for Coulson Lovely. >> Oh yeah. >> Big day. >> Big day for Coulson Lovely, especially. videos coming out of training camp. Mhm. Mhm. >> You know where he's singing them boys. going crazy. Then in the locker room as. soon as he gets a game ball I don't know.

if you saw the defense. >> everybody went crazy for him. It's like. wow they love this guy in there. It is. very cool. That's a good culture. building win for the Chicago Bears. >> Yeah. Not to mention Ben Johnson's uh. the finding the five in his pocket. That. that was incredible. I mean you talk. about coaches that have a sense of humor. after a victory. Ben Johnson one one of. one knocked that out of the park. >> Yeah. We like and I appreciate the fact. that he's super intense. Yes. And the. boys know that. So, in a couple moments. in the postgame speech, Ben Johnson, his. delivery pretty intense. Boys know it's.

a lighting mo lightful mode. So, you go. a lot of those from the boys there, you. know, kind of keeping it light. Feels. like they have built their culture. At. the beginning, this was uh what appeared. to be a train wreck. Wasn't going to. work. His mindset, Caleb's mindset, the. building's mindset. This isn't going to. work. And all anybody wondered is how is. this guy the bell of the ball for. coaching? And why would he go to. Chicago? It feels like the complete. opposite of what he would want. How's. this ever going to work? And here they. are. It's working. Yeah. Congrats to. Chicago Bears making a great play now. Huge win over the Bengals. That was just. one of the incredible finishes around.

the NFL. Let's go to the Panthers. upsetting the Packers. 76. third quarter. Ass game to watch. Rico. Dell. The Rico says, "Hold on. Only two. Only two." And oh, one two. All right, that's good. No worries. Right. Turn the. sound on, please. Uh the ref said actually uh uh personal. foul uh un super unsportsman [laughter].

15 yards. They backed that extra point. up 15. They missed that extra point. Okay. So all of a sudden the double pump. actually starts affecting. Oh. >> Oh no. I thought that was okay. >> Well Kian Peele said it was okay. I. don't know if this said NFL ref said it. was okay. We all believe that two was. good, three way too much. These refs. said to one, two, we want none. >> Come on. >> Okay, we want none of the hip thrust. Nonetheless, 1313. Packers were able to. make it a tie ball game. Let's go to.

Bryce Young. Second and 10. 118 left in. the fourth quarter. When Bryce was. coming out into the NFL draft, they. said, "This dude's a Steph Curry of this. draft. An absolute steal." Well, he. finds the Irish Terrone McMillan wide. ass open. Good first down. Let's go to. second and 10 now. later. Give it to. Rico Daell. This dude is unstoppable. Ty. might be the best player to ever play. football. >> Yeah, certainly the best player in the. NFL this year by far. But yes, I I think.

you could argue he's the best football. player of all time. >> So, they find themselves into field goal. territory. Ryan Fitzgerald from 49. Give. me that. 48 was the extra point that he. missed earlier. 49 was the gamewinner. And the Carolina Panthers beat the Green. Bay Packers in a walk-off in Lambo. What. a moment. What a time. And Ty, the. Panthers are good football team. >> Yeah, I mean they they dominated this.

game or controlled it. Dominated, I. guess, is one way of saying it because. it was a one-sore game and it took a. field goal to beat him, but I think the. Packers only had three possessions in. the first half. They just knew exactly. what they needed to do to win. They knew. it was potentially going to come down to. a field goal. And on the flip side, you. know, the uh the Packers once again, special teams kind of kills them, whereas special teams could have killed. the Panthers. But what a what a kick by. rookie Ryan Fitzgerald. It was massive. And when he was lining up for it, every. Packers fan knew there was a 0%. [laughter] chance that he was going to.

miss that. >> Uh let's go to the next game in the NFC. North. Vikings Detroit Lions. Fourth. quarter 141. Lions only have one. timeout. First down wins it. JJ McCarthy. in a bucket to Naylor. JJ scored a. touchdown on the ground. He threw a. couple. JJ had some inaccurate passes. where he missed like by 10 yards and. then whenever the moment's the biggest, JJ walks in and makes a play. His. teammates love him. Okay. All the way. back from high school. IMG, they loved. him. College at Michigan, they loved.

him. And in Minnesota, they love him. He. comes into the locker room, boys go. crazy. I think his leadership is one of. the aspects of him that makes everybody. say he is the guy in Minnesota. I think. he acts like a guy, they treat him like. a guy, and on the field he's able to win. these games and he has so much so much. up and to the right. I mean, you if he. takes the trajectory Josh Allen took in. the offseason, and I know we're. comparing a lot of people to Josh Allen, and we saw Josh Allen. >> Yeah, that's what you want. >> That's that is what you're looking for.

But if he takes the trajectory of Josh. Allen in these off seasons and gets more. accurate, if he's able to get a little. bit more accurate, especially with his. leadership and his work ethic that. everybody says, if he's able to stay. healthy, it's like JJ, hey, all of a. sudden you start looking at that draft. class and it's like, >> holy [ __ ]. >> they're ve that might be the best draft. class of all time. Go ahead, comment. >> Yeah. And he he's a sicko. Like when. Kevin Oonnell's giving him the game ball. after in the locker room, like after. they walk in and everything, like him. losing his mind before getting the game. ball. Awesome. the team reacting to him.

doing that was really cool and just him. living up to the moment. Like how many. times in the last two years have teams. gone into into Detroit and beating them. Like we talked about the Lions being 13. and three in prime time games since the. MCDC era has started. Like typically the. Lions rise to the occasion. The fact. that they did it especially since we. were kind of at least I was kind of. talking a bit of junk about him not. playing last week when Carl Wentz had a. baby on the way and one arm like for him. to show up like that was incredible. 27.

24 27 points against a Detroit Lions. team. Now, I know it wasn't, you know, it wasn't the prettiest. There was some. blocked kick. There was a block kick. There was a turnover. You get it. There. was good field position, but JJ McCarthy. of Minnesota get a win over the Detroit. Lions, which is crazy to think about, especially to your point, Connor, about. the combo by JJ. Here's a little stat. from Hembo here. Nine plus point. underdogs this season. Uh, weeks one. through eight, they were 0 and 10. Uh, week nine, they were 2-2. Carolina and. Minnesota netted the two largest upsets. of the season just yesterday. Congrats. to the Panthers. Damn good football.

team. >> Damn good football team. >> JJ McCarthy might be a for real NFL. dude. Seems like every moment he needs. to step in, he does. Congrats to the. Vikings for them. And then the Jags and. the Raiders go to overtime. Trevor. Lawrence scores a touchdown on their. first drive. So that's a big deal. Congratulations to the Jacksonville. Jaguars. They kick an extra point. They. scored on their first drive. They're up. seven. Now the Raiders get a chance to. answer. They go down. Are they going to. be able to score? 19 seconds left in. overtime. They score a touchdown. Down. one, could opt to kick the extra point.

They say for the good of football, we're. going for two. We love that move. Ultimately, it gives them [laughter] a. loss, though. Instead of having a one at. the end, Raiders decide to go for two. Pete Carol says, "Oh, he was open.". >> For the good of all, they went for two. And to that, we say thank you, Raiders. >> Thank [applause] you. >> No more time. >> And congrats to the Jacksonville. Jaguars. Not only a huge win, but also. Cam Little, this kicker out of Arkansas, drafted last year in the sixth round,

has hit a 68-yard field goal in a. regulation football game. He hit from 70. in preeason. And this dude, Little hits. big ass balls. I mean, he is so. incredibly impressive. Uh, obviously had. to drive it a little bit, they say, for. the side angle. Didn't get blocked. Wasn't even close getting blocked. A lot. of guys had their arms up obviously from. 68. That thing would have been good from. 71, 72 yards. Unbelievable kick. And. obviously we talk about Aubrey a lot. Cam Little hits massive balls. I mean, this dude just murders balls. In the new.

Kball institution that we're in right. now, guys are hitting these long balls. at a more accurate clip than they ever. have. Guys are also attempting it more. than they ever have before. And for. those that are sleeping under a rock and. maybe don't know this, the kickers are. allowed to bring the balls to the game. now. Used to come out of a box, have a. 30 minute like session on when you were. allowed to break it down. So, it was a. little beat up, but it wasn't too beat. up. Now, just like quarterbacks, kickers. are allowed to bring their own balls, have to pass an inspection for how hard. it is. Obviously, the amount of uh. pressure in there, and then what it.

looks like, and then guys now have gone. seven for 11 from 60 plus. And a 68 yard. field goal has been hit and everybody's. just assuming that a 70 yarder is on the. way. So, right now, Cam Little has the. record, but I think for the first time. in the history of ball, we it's not. safe. Oh, yeah. I I do not think it's. safe, especially if you get a situation. at the end of half. Okay, let's go to. the number four headline as we got 132. left and we're through the first. headline here. Injuries, we don't like. them. >> No, we don't. >> at all. >> Hate them actually.

>> We despise him. >> Trying to get rid of him. Yeah, >> multiple times, man. >> Yeah, >> multiple times. Joe Al obviously legend. for that Chargers team. The way they. play with him and without him a little. bit different. He leaves the game with. an ankle. Travis Hunter last Friday was. listed on the IR after getting hurt in. Thursday's practice with a knee. Obviously T's and P's to all these dudes. were pulling for him. But these are. electrifying, very important players. On. that note, Jaden Daniels last night up. 387. Uh it dislocates his elbow, it.

appears, and who knows what else. whenever it comes out of uh testing. But. that was nasty, especially for a guy. that is as important to the game of uh. football in the NFL right now as he is. Jaden is a big deal for football. We all. like the way he plays. We all love. watching him. They obviously didn't play. their best game. They're down by a lot. He's on the field. Why is he on the. field? If he's not on the field though, people were saying he's not going down. with the ship. He ends up getting hurt. Don't love to see that. Tucker Craft, we. were just singing his praises literally.

last week for taking over a game. He. exits with a knee. And then obviously CJ. Strad got a concussion as well. Marshon. Latimore and Luke McAffrey, both from. the Commanders, also get hurt. Uh, broken collarbone for Luke Latimore has. a knee. Michael Hoy, Bill's linebacker. out. Michael Williams for the 49ers. I. mean, just this was a week that was a. lot a lot of big names, a lot of. injuries, and uh, >> we don't we hate them.

>> Hate them. >> All right, now we have three more. headlines still to [laughter] go. Uh, let's go to number three headline. The. NFC West is a problem. Yeah. Listen, now. obviously tonight the Cardinals will. play against the Cowboys. They have a. losing record. Let's leave them out of. this particular conversation. Even. though, hey, a lot of football left. That's right. A lot of football left. Who knows what they're going to have to. do. Matthew Stafford's number four right. now in the MVP conversation. Okay. Matthew Stafford currently odds are. fourth to win the MVP. He's been. Pukanaku is back. Okay. Pukanua scoring. touchdowns. Pukanakua actually commented.

uh in our Instagram uh to one of his. numerous highlights that were posted and. uh he said, "Just trying to be good. enough to get back on the program, Moose." And we'd like to let you know, Puka, you're welcome anytime. What a. perfect superstar for Los Angeles. Puka. Naku is. He's a dog. He's tough. And. he's got a quarterback thrown to him. that isn't scared to break NFL records. If you look at the wide receivers with. the best seasons throughout the history. of the NFL, you're going to see the. quarterback Matthew Stafford next to the. guys that are doing that. He's a special. talent. He and I were drafted in the. same year. He was number one overall,

got like 175 million guaranteed. I was. drafted number 222. I got 47,000 which. wasn't enough to pay off the Cadillac. [laughter] Escalade. >> Okay. So, it's a little different life. But what he has been able to accomplish, especially with Kershaw, his high school. team or. >> Yeah. battery, whatever it is, the. baseball team just wins his last World. Series. The fact that Stafford looks the. way he looks and is still doing what. he's doing. Insane. And then Devonte. Adams, the amount of touchdowns that he. has that are in close distance. So, you. know, the Eagles are doing the tush push. whenever they're down there. You know.

what the Rams do? They do Devonte get. open and Matthew Stafford is just. delivering him. Distance of each uh. touchdown in the last three yards, four. yards, two yards, one yard, one yard. Unguardable. Remember, all anybody talks. about is his get off. How he doesn't. even have to use his hands. He's able to. shake everybody. They used to do this. with Gronk the Patriots. Anytime they. were down the red zone, let's go ahead. and get Gronk one-on-one. And then you. got a two-way go, three-way go, whatever. the hell you want to do, Gronk, we're. just going to wait on it. Right now, they got Dvonte one-on-one down here. And they have to do that because they. got puka and other weapons. Devonte. always the number one. normally going to.

have two people on him, especially in a. red zone area. Now, with where he is on. that roster, Devonte's getting one-on-. ones down there, and all you got to do. is just let Devonte Cook basically, and. Stafford just waiting on him. Offensive. line has to be able to block for half a. second, not even. Soon as Devonte's uh. loose, we get it. And it's an easy go. >> Brilliant by Shawn McVey. And if you. cover him, Dvonte, it's like, "All. right, we got Puka." Yeah. >> Over here on the other side. And uh. we'll see how it all goes. So I mean the. NFC West only ners get a huge. >> San Francisco 49ers and Matt Jones. Matt.

Jones playing really good. >> Yeah. >> Now their defense obviously very dinged. up. We have no idea what the defense is. going to be able to be longterm and also. trade deadline tomorrow. The San. Francisco 49ers are always a pretty. active squad whenever it comes to making. moves to try to better their team. And. this Matt Jones Christian McCaffrey. obviously otherworldly. Otherworldly. Okay. I saw Jackson Dart run one in. I. saw a couple touchdowns for this Giants. team. And obviously this Giants team. looks different now than he did just a. few weeks ago with the loss of Scataboo. And obviously the Niners look different. now than they did a few weeks ago with.

the loss of Fred Warner and everybody. else. But M. Jones playing quarterback. looks more than capable to be leading. this San Francisco 49ers team. And they. get a huge win against the New York. Giants. Tone Digs. >> Yeah, Mack has looked incredible. stepping in for Brock Party. Like to. have him as their backup in this. situation to get them to six and three. like no like if you would have looked at. all their injuries. So, like if you put. said, "Hey, N is going to lose all these. people. Max's going to be the. quarterback. What's their record?" We. never would have gave him six and three. >> at all. And here's the Giants defense to. that point. The last two games, uh, week.

eight verse one, he had 18 touches, 174. yards, and two touchdowns. Week nine, Christian McCaffrey 33 touches. He's the. guy. Uh, 173 yards and two touchdowns. Giants defense need to figure out how. the hell they're going to cover the. running back. >> Yeah, >> we need a linebacker that can run, it. sounds like, is what we're looking for. in New York. Trade deadline day. I don't. know. Maybe. Maybe some buyers at the at. the trade deadline. >> Yeah, I don't think we're we're going to. be buyers, but it was like we didn't. know Chris McCaffrey was on the 49ers. Just a complete embarrassment. >> That's a life of a Giants fan [laughter].

living alongside Bruce. And then. obviously last night was just a show of. the NFC West. The Seahawks team is a. problem across the board. >> Wag, dude. >> Leonard Williams is what 6'9. Did you. see him running? He chased down Jaden. Daniels last night and I I was just. like, there's no way that's Leonard. Leonard Williams been around a long time. and he looks phenomenal. Had no idea. he's spear fishing. Okay, they're saying. he's going down for five minutes at a. time. This guy could hold his breath for. five minutes as he's freewater fishing. out there. Held a tuna the size of him. up on the screen. This how they were.

filling time late. Leonard Williams is a. fisherman, a free diving fisherman. I. think they said 80 feet. Five minutes. holding his breath. >> I think they said on Leonard Williams. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I think. Collinssworth said, "I scuba dive down. there. I never," you know, and he said, "Even that is uh obviously a little. scary." Couldn't imagine going down. there without a tank, but on that note, they got talent everywhere. They got. dogs everywhere. Them talking about how. Jackson Smith and Jiga this offseason. said, "I want to be the best wide. receiver in football." And McDonald.

said, "Well, you got to this is how we. work." And then him just buying in and. doing it. Sam Darnold, this guy was led. out of the building obviously in. Minnesota. I think it's because JJ. McCarthy's leadership abilities. I I. genuinely believe that. I think there's. two alphas in the building. If J. everybody's like, "Well, why don't you. let JJ kind of watch somebody?" I think. JJ's pretty big alpha. I I I think JJ is. a alpha personality at least and leader. and kind of everybody gravitates towards. him. So, I think it would be tough to. kind of have a starter in there with. him. So, Sam Darnold heading to Seattle.

What a move for them. And uh they're. special. Always winning on the road. Always winning on the road. And uh I. like the cut of their jib out there a. lot. And we all know Seattle, especially. if their fans are all in, which it feels. like they are and should be, is. impossible to play at. This Seahawks. team is very special. >> Well, and very cool for Mike McDaniel. and the Seahawks to like be good last. year and then make McDonald, excuse me, be good last year and then make a. change. Like Gino Smith and the Seattle. Seahawks with DK, they were good and.

then instead of kind of just riding that. out, see what happens. They say, "Hey, look, Sam Darnold's better. Jackson. Smith and Jigba. He needs to get the. ball more. I mean, Sam Darnold threw two. touchdowns to a guy named Tory Horton. I. get it. I probably should have known who. that guy was. I didn't going into the. game. >> That's the touchdown parlay builder. there. If not to mention the the third. string tight end, he threw a touchdown. to number 82 Wilson. No idea who that is. either cuz they got. >> what a touchdown parlay builder. >> It would have been it would have been. dynamic. Uh but I mean Aoyo here, AJ.

Barner, Jackson Smith and Jigba. Jackson. Smith and Jake didn't even score and and. they still put up 38 points. The the. Seattle Seahawks are awesome to watch. >> Yeah, the Commanders fans said they're. be they're being an elementary team. Yeah, >> they're they're being an elementary. team. And here's a guy that uh Connor. was talking about. >> White, excuse me, not Wilson. I'm sorry. >> Mr. White had a W in. >> Wilson. What? Steelers actually cut him. >> What's that? >> Steelers actually cut him this year. >> Uh Mr. White. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, he looks like he's found a. good home out there in Seattle then. Congrats to Seahawks and the NFC West.

We'll see the Cardinals tonight as they. take on obviously the Dallas Cowboys. Let's go to the number two headline from. the weekend. The Bills beat down the. Chiefs. Okay. And everybody's going to. say, well, the Bills, they beat the. Chiefs again in regular seasons. You. can't beat them in postseason. Well, it's like, what are the Bills supposed. to lose in regular season? It's much. better to win than it is to lose in. these games. And if you watch the way. this game went, boy, that Bill beat the. hell out of Patrick Mahomes. I I mean, there was like there was a string there. three, four straight plays where Patrick. was just taking huge shots. Huge shots.

Huge shots. It's like this Bills team. has a little bit of a different. attitude. Maybe they they seem to be the. ones that want to be the aggressors. They're the ones that want to be. tougher. They beat down the Buff or the. Kansas City Chiefs. I think that is a. little bit alarming if you're a Kansas. City Chiefs fan. And also, if you're a. Buffalo Bills fan, it's like, hey, hold. on now. We got a little bit of an edge. Feels like this team has. You got Josh. Allen obviously on the offensive side, so you're going to be great on the. offensive side of the ball. you would. assume defense thumping this Kansas City. Chiefs team as much as they did and. obviously making plays all over the.

place and getting a huge win. Great for. the Buffalo Bills. >> Yeah, great for the Buffalo Bills, but. like you were saying, if you're a Chiefs. fan, you're just holding your breath. every single time you're watching. Mahomes play. Now, we've talked about it. the last couple weeks about him running. the ball and kind of getting smacked. around more. It's like, you know, obviously this game does isn't the end. all beall for them because there is a. good chance they see each other in the. playoffs, but boy, they Patrick Mahomes. needs to take care of himself. We can't. have that guy getting hurt and missing a. good chunk of time over the next couple. weeks. >> Here's some Hembo stats out of the Bills.

Chiefs game. Patrick Mahomes verse this. Bills defense. 44% completion. percentage, which is career low. I think. he had to go back to college since he. had a completion percentage below 50%. 13.1 average depth of target is his uh. career high. Nobody's getting kind of. throwing around. He threw for 444 airs. and 69 yak. Nothing easy underneath, says Hembo. Little anecdote he says. And. they hit him a career-high 15 times. >> Flawless playing and execution from the. Buffalo Bills defense, says Hembo. They. literally beat him, Don. >> Yeah. And they had Ed at Ed Oliver out.

You know, their best defensive lineman, highest paid defensive lineman wasn't. even playing and they had that all that. pressure. It's awesome. >> Good for the Beals. Maybe this is the. year. >> Could be. >> Hey, maybe this is the year for the. Buffalo Bills. Good to see Abosa cooking. out there. And then number one headline. from the weekend is turn back the clocks. an hour. Yeah, right. About 11 years. >> Hell yeah. >> Look at the AFC leaders. Colts, Patriots, Broncos, Steelers. That's. 2025. Let's go back 2014, shall we? Boom. Who's up there? Old school. tradition. 11 years ago. Now, did I.

choose to take this angle for the number. one headline so that I [laughter] can. show go back 2025, please? Boom. >> The Colts still number one. Let's make. sure we understand that. [laughter]. Okay, let's make sure we understand. that. Tough loss at Pittsburgh Steelers. Good team. But Pittsburgh Steelers. currently leading the AFC North, which. is why they're seated in fourth, although others might have a couple more. wins than them, including the Buffalo. Bills, who are 6-2, who have already had. their buy. New England Patriots lead the. AFC East, the Denver Broncos lead the. AFC West, and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

and Indianapolis Colts got the North and. the South, respectively. It's like this. is old school football all of a sudden. And this Broncos team, hey, >> dude, >> Denver Broncos are a real deal. Going. into the season, the Broncos were some. Super Bowl favorites. Some Super Bowl um. uh what's it called? Whenever you're. like um. >> people love you, darlings. Super Bowl. darlings by a lot of fans. And the. Denver Broncos get a huge win over the. Houston Texans down in Houston with a. walk-off from Will Lutz. And there was a.

moment before this kick between Shawn. Payeyton, head coach of the Broncos, and. Will Lutz. Hey, right through a little. smile. >> That's awesome. I love everything about. it because you have to think to. yourself, hey, the head coach has got to. really get along with the kicker if this. is what he's saying to him right before. A little bit of a violent motion. Don't. know exactly what he said. Just say, "Hey, Will. Hey, look at me. [ __ ] yeah, we need to make this one. We need to make this one." Will Lutz. makes the kick. Will Lutz now under. Shawn Peyton because he is with him at. the New Orleans Saints. Shawn Peyton.

brings him up to Denver. Shawn Peyton. and Will love 14 of 16. >> and clutch field goals under Shawn. Payton. all the way back to the Saints. game tiger go ahead field goals in the. final two minutes of regulation plus. yeah I think Shawn Peyton has a lot of. faith and he was just reminding Will hey. you're going out there to make this. thing let's remember that smile will. says you got it Broncos back in a. position where it's like wait is this. the Broncos team that we all thought it. was going to be is this the Broncos team. that can go win a Super Bowl Shawn. Payeyton has been able to do it in the. past can he do it again rebuilding it in.

his own image crazy to think about in. Denver. >> in the top four is incredible but if you. were to go back to 2014, look at those. top four teams. The wild card teams are. nowhere near how good the wild card. teams are now. You know, you're looking. at that and you're damn near worried if. you're the two seed or the three seed or. the four seed just because hey, Chiefs. are there, Bills are there, Chargers are. there. Like there are a lot of really. let alone the Ravens if they continue to. play well. Like the buy this year might. be the most important buy the AFC has.

had in a long time. >> Yeah. I uh And then who's already out of. it? you know, who's out of it that we. think might be in it. You know, there's. some teams that might not be able to. catch some of these teams. I'll be. fascinated to see how the AFC falls. And. also, uh, congratulations to the. Steelers. >> and the Patriots. >> and the Colts. >> and the Colts. Tough one for me to be. able to celebrate the Colts, but still. number one in the AFC out here. Okay, don't you worry about it. Joining us. now, uh, in the best truck down the. line, nothing stops a Ram truck. >> No, it doesn't. Hey, ride high, ride.

comfortable, ride style, ride with grit, ride with ramp. >> Hell yeah. >> I don't know if that's a tagline. Join. >> Yeah, it's not bad. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, a man who might be. able to fill in some gaps that we might. have missed, especially on the injury. conversation in which there was a lot of. superstars injured yesterday, insider. for the NFL at ESPN, also a Michigan. man. Ladies and gentlemen, Adam Shy. >> Cheffy, how you doing, brother? >> Going on there, Pat. How you doing? >> I'm great. Thank you for joining us. Obviously, huge one between the.

Cardinals and the Cowboys tonight. We'll. chitchat about that a little bit later. Through the first 15, one of our. headlines was the injuries. Feels like. this was the worst weekend uh around the. NFL and today's a day where we're. waiting on scans. Is that kind of how. this normally works out? Uh Shifty, >> well, there have been some bad weeks in. the NFL. This is another one of them. Obviously, you have Jaden Dangas last. night. That was really troubling to see. and watch and see him be escorted off. the field with his left arm in a brace.

Look, here's the deal. He's having the. MRI today. It's dislocated his elbow. I mean, it's. not going to be any different in the. result there. And he's going to be out. indefinitely. So. Washington would have to keep alive its. season and turned it around at 3 and six. for him to have a chance to come back. And I would think it's safe to assume. that Washington is going to be moving. forward extraordinarily careful about.

when it puts back in Jaden Daniels. And. so if they're not winning here in the. weeks to come, then I think there's a. real chance that we've seen the last of. Jaden Daniels this season. >> I think that's in the realm of. possibility. >> Yeah, >> he's indefinitely. It's possible his. season is over. >> The whole thing was troubling. You never. want to see a player like that go down. You never want to see a player like that. go down. Midway through the fourth. quarter, down 31 points.

um that franchise has been through that. before and it it just it's unfortunate. the way the whole thing unfolded. >> Yeah, I agree. And watching a long live. at the time cuz I couldn't fall asleep. because I guess I'm just a sicko in. listening to Tariq and Collinssworth try. to fill time was certainly something I. was enjoying while I was watching it. And then you see that injury happen. It's like oh that's nasty nasty. And. then this morning I saw it they were. blurring it out on Sports Center. That's. how nasty it was. So obviously the.

future of the franchise they're going to. be careful with. We respect that. Let's. talk about some of the other injuries. that took place. Obviously Tucker Craft. had a knee. Joe Alt had a knee. Uh Tra. or an ankle. Travis Hunter had a knee in. practice. Do we know anything on or any. updates on any of those particular guys? >> Tucker Crafty test came back today. Torn. ACL confirmed. Out for the just brutal. >> guy. >> Dude, he just took over the NFL last. week. [ __ ] man.

>> By the way, I I I do think this is. Tucker Craft's 25th birthday today. So, Jordan Love. >> Yeah, Jordan Love had an awful 27th. birthday yesterday. Tucker Craft had an. awful 25th birthday today. They're in a. lot of bad birthday celebrations here. with the Packers. And and Tucker Craft. had developed into, you could argue, uh. maybe the best tight end in the game. right now, coming off a huge game. against the Pittsburgh Steelers. have. been unbelievable. He's not only is he a.

great receiver, but he's a great. blocker. He's a vital part of that. offense. You see the numbers right. there. Jordan Love targeting Tucker. Craft is off the charts. That target is. now taken away. So, I mean, it's a tough. one. Um, I guess you're going to have Musgrave. try to step up. Uh I I wouldn't think. that they'll try to do anything at the. trade deadline, but just a bad bad.

injury. >> Yeah, sucks. Jaden Daniels, all these. suck, by the way, because they're all. superstars, which is something to think. about. Joe Alt ankle and Travis Hunter. would be Yeah. >> Uh the two from that particular Travis. Hunter came out of practice. He's on IR. They said his ACL was intact. That means. they were scared. It was an ACL. It. sounds like putting him on IR is just to. make sure he's 100% or what are you. hearing out of there? the news that. dropped on Friday from Thursday's. practice. >> Well, first of all, Travis Hunter is. somebody that doesn't miss time. So, when he goes down and he's out for four.

weeks. at minimum, that tells you it's not. great. And I think it's going to be my. sense is it's going to be beyond that. It's going to be, as I was told, it's. going to be quote unquote a while, >> man. >> Before Travis Hunter comes back. >> Geez. >> And Yeah. and Jacksonville. has been winning and as long as they. stay alive, I think we could see Travis. Hunter again later this season. But I. put this a little bit in the Jaden. Daniels category. You're going to be. careful with this guy and I I if I mean.

they're in the playoff race right now. and they're doing a great job, but if if. they're not, you're not going to rush. this guy back. You're going to be. careful. And so I think it'll be a. little while before we see Travis Hunter. again this season. Um, I don't know. exactly when, but as I was told over the. weekend, it's going to be a while. >> Travis Hunter, we will miss you, brother. Especially in this time where, you know, we a lot of growth can still. happen for Travis Hunter on both sides. of the ball. We'll miss him. Joe Alt. with an ankle. We know what the Chargers. are with Joe Alt. Obviously, the stats.

were a little bit uh polar whenever it. was with Joe Walt, without Joe Walt. Uh, what what should we be thinking here. with Joe Walt as you you look ahead? Well, I go back and look. He hurt his. ankle in week two, I believe it was. Or. when was it against the Giants? When did. the Chargers play the Giants? What week. was that? Is that week two, three, whatever it was, cuz Neighbors tore his. ACL in that game. And before Neighbors. went down, Joe Alt basically was carded. off in that game with a high ankle.

sprain to the same ankle. >> Oh. >> He rested it, rehabbed it, and was able. to come back weeks later. this time. My understanding is he's. going to have to have a surgical. procedure done. >> um to help stabilize the ankle. So, whatever he missed last time, and I'd. have to go look it up, I would think. he's going to miss more time now. I I'm. going to guess he missed about four or. five weeks. Um so, again, probably. hopefully, maybe later this season, maybe.

>> Tough game, dude. Tough game. Football's. a tough game, espec it's so hard to win. that. That's why like the Patriots. winning for 20 plus years is so crazy to. think about cuz you lose a couple of. your pillar guys, which is happening. here around the league. We're literally. just talking about you lose a couple of. these pillar guys, all of a sudden your. team looks vastly different. It's like. are we even built to win without this. person and it's like no, it's it changes. everything some of these injuries. >> I mean, they're a guy like Muel Williams. for the 49ers, their first round pick. Bosa, they lose Fred Warner to season.

ending injuries. Now you're counting on. your first round pick. He tears his ACL. yesterday. Like I mean it is it's uh you. know where did the Chargers go get an. offensive tackle now? It's not these. guys you can't find him. You can't find. them. Where do the Niners I mean the. Niners maybe maybe they could go trade. for some kind of edge maybe. But it's. brutal. It's so hard to try to replace. that. >> Yeah, it's impossible. Yeah, the injury. thing is just crazy. It it is it's a.

guarantee that it's going to happen. Who. is it is that going to decide whether or. not it uh kind of sends your entire. season off course. And we got a couple. trade now trade deadline tomorrow 400. p.m. Eastern time. Con man has a. question for you. >> Yeah, Chef, it's interesting too. Three. of those players you just named got hurt. on Metife Stadium again. Uh that's been. a convo going going over the last couple. years. But looking at Washington, if. Jaden Daniels is kind of going to be. shut down, do you expect them to move. some of the uh, you know, mercenaries, if you will, that they traded for just. for this year? Debo, he's on a one-year.

deal. Laramie Tonsel was acquired for. picks. I don't know what his contract. situation is, but do you see Washington. maybe now becoming sellers then? >> It it's a it's a great question. It's an. interesting point. I would say this, they're probably not there yet mentally. Um, I'm not going to tell you that that. couldn't happen. It's funny. I I had a. team say something like that to me this. morning, but every team approaches this. differently and obviously this is fresh. in their building this morning. The loss. last night, uh, losing Jaden Daniels, I.

I don't know how they'll react to it. yet. You're not the first person to. raise that issue today, but I don't have. the answer to it, unfortunately. >> Okay. Hey, it's a pretty quick. turnaround for them to have to make an. entire franchise determining decision, but they have to because trade deadines. tomorrow. You saw the graphic up there. Any trade is possible, you know, because of things that have. happened in the past. Now, obviously, trade deadline has some massive names. like Marshon Lynch ends up with Seattle. Carson Palmer goes out to the Raiders.

He gets traded. Ma Fitzpatrick gets. traded. Could he get traded again? Maybe. Jaylen Ramsay ends up with the. Rams during trade deadline. Uh Eric. Dickerson, big trade during the. deadline. Hershel Walker traded during. the deadline. Randy Moss traded. Christian McCaffrey, remember, from the. Panthers to the Ners in the middle of. the season. Then they say, "Yep, you're. actually just going to take on the. entire workload on the offensive side.". I think he ran for a touchdown, threw a. touchdown, and caught a touchdown like. in his first game with the Niners. immediately upon arrival. Then we have. we have the possible buyers there. Now,

obviously, any trade is possible. >> with the teams that are potentially on a. little bit of a run, which is the. possible buyers. This is uh playoff. hopes, playoff dreams, playoff. aspirations. Are we one piece away, two. pieces away? How active do you think. everything is before tomorrow at 4:00? Chefy, >> well Pat, over the last month leading up. to tomorrow, we've already had 10. trades. 10. So my guess would be, if I. had to guess, just random Darthur, nobody knows the answer to this. Uh.

we'll probably get three, four more by. the deadline tomorrow. just a random. guess. Um. I I I don't know if you go back to last. year. right at the end the commanders trade. for Marshon Latimore in the middle of. the day. There was another notable move and then. at the end the Steelers traded for. Preston Smith and the Jets traded for. Mike Williams. And I think what happens, at least last year, right before the.

deadline, you see guys just. kind of unload guys for whatever they. can get back. Like Dallas has Mazy. Smith. You know, will I be surprised if. at 3:35 tomorrow, Mazy Smith is traded. to some team that is looking for. somebody to play the No. No. Um I don't. know how many significant trades you're. going to get between now and tomorrow. for the Eagles trading for Jaylen. Phillips this morning. That would amount. to a significant trade. They gave up a. third round draft pick. They reunite.

Jaylen Phillips with Vic Fangio. Jaylen. Phillips had great success with Vic. Fangio until he tours Achilles in Miami. He's on an expiring contract. The Eagles. gave up their own third round draft. pick. They still have the Jets third. round draft pick from the San Reic. trade. That that's a notable trade. I I. don't know that we're going to get much. that's any more significant than that. move this morning. We might. We might. Seattle is interesting. Seattle is. interesting. >> Yes, they are. They're a problem.

Sheffy, they are very good at football. >> As my as my friend Brian Windor would. say, something is going on in Seattle. Yep. Something is going Seattle. Seattle. would be a team to watch. >> You said a lot. I think they uh I think. Seattle would be a fantastic team to get. traded to. Now, it's far. >> Okay. >> Certainly, >> it's way over there. So, we don't really. get a chance to talk about as much as we. should because of how far it is and. remove everything, but boy, McDonald's.

got a team of dogs out there. And Sam. Darnold has been flawless seemingly. And. Jackson Smith and Jigba wants to be and. is in the conversation of the best wide. receiver in the league. Good for. Seattle. their defense I feel like with. McDonald just going to be good like. that's just kind of what we had to. expect going forward and uh. >> they could have a special season out. there out of nowhere nobody else was. talking obviously their fans would say. we knew this was coming but out of. nowhere for the rest of us chef D. >> well well let me say a couple things.

about this that really make it. interesting first of all they move on. from Gino Smith and get a quarterback. who winds up being cheaper than Gino. Smith who has been more productive this. season and Sam Darnold. And I can just. tell you that they have been incredibly. impressed with Sam Darnold from the. moment he showed up there. Like. leadership, talent, throws like that. It's It's been a home run. So they have. him. They also have a lot of young. talent that they're going to have to pay.

here in the future years. So they've got. Jackson Smith and Jagba who they're. going to want to pay. >> Yeah. They've got Charles Cross, their. left tackle, who they're going to want. to pay. They've got Devin Witherspoon, who they're going to want to pay. So, you can't pay everybody, which is why. we're seeing the names Boyet Maf and. Reek Woolen come up at the deadline. My point is, if they do something with. those guys, if they do something with.

those guys, I don't think that they. would be isolated moves because they. would be getting back compensation. They'd be freeing up caps. I think that. would give them more flexibility if if. anything happens. But by the way, nothing may happen. Nothing may happen. They're rolling along. They have the. best record in the NFC. They may just. decide to stand down and stand pat. But. Seattle is interesting. >> Yeah, Seattle is interesting. [laughter]. And would you want to trade away very. good pieces when you're maybe in the.

middle of a Super Bowl run? That's a. decision you have to make while you're. trying to build your foundation. All. right, couple minutes left here. Let's. hit another interesting situation. Go. ahead AP Tone. >> Yeah, very interesting. Chefy, obviously. the Bengals lose in tremendous fashion. yesterday and you see Jamar Chase in the. tunnel talking about can we get one. stop? Chase Brown at his locker after. the game. Can we get one stop? It feels. like they're that locker room is in a. bad situation. Obviously, they have the. guys who are requesting trades on the. defensive side. Can you give us any. insight into the Cincinnati Bengals uh.

locker room right now? What may be going. on just overall with that team? Well, the good thing is they're on a. by-week this week, so they can't give up. 40 points again. They. >> they might they've scored in the last. two weeks 80 points. 80 points. And they. are the first team since the 1966 New. York Giants to score 80 points or at. least 38 in back-to-back weeks and not. win a game. 1966. You know how long ago. that was, Pat? That was the year I was. born.

>> Yeah. 39 years. You said how many? 66. I. couldn't hear cuz the leaf blower in the. back. It sounds like we're getting some. uh Yeah, they're taking care of it. Hey, leaves are falling. >> We got good people out there though. Yeah, it's got those orange leaves down. there. Some of the crinkly crackly ones. Are you going to put in a pile and go. maybe do your little run jump thing into. them like you know we used to do back in. the day. Put them in garbage bags. Maybe. go ahead and hit people with it. What's. the plan with the leaves? Do you have. any plan post? Do you have any plan going coming out of. that one or no? the the the the fall foliage here in the.

northeast is wonderful. It's really. beautiful. >> It's not as nice on the ground right. now. And it's certainly not as nice when. we're trying to go over trade. interesting trade possibly. [laughter]. >> Honey, stop that. >> No, no, honey. You do whatever the hell. you want. It's not going to be on us. Uh, okay. Trade. So, we'll see how it. all goes. Cincinnati, though. Fascinating situation. It feels like. there's been a lot of requests. We. assume they would be sellers, but it's a. Cincinnati Bengals. Uh, quickly, should. we assume they'll be moving or no?

>> Uh, listen, I think there are certain. players that would like Logan Wilson. Why would you not trade him? You're not. playing him. He wants out. His. contract's up. Like, there's no reason. not to try to get a draft pick back for. somebody that they get a pick for. Like, there's no, by the way, Trey. Hendrickson, I if they traded him, if they traded. him, and I'm not telling you they will. Um, there were teams last week that were. told they weren't and people were. wondering if they lost yesterday, which. they did, would they reconsider and be.

willing to move off Trey Hendrickson. If. they trade Trey, they could get back a. pick and they could save millions upward. over $10 million. Like, why would they. not do that? >> $10 million. You would think the Bengals. would make that move immediately. Come. on over to Andy, Trey. Okay, last. question. You got a minute on this one. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Shifty. What's the injury report. looking for tonight? And also, we saw. that Kyler Murray is not starting. tonight, but he may have some sort of. role with him not playing. Like, what. does this mean for his future in Arizona.

potentially? >> Well, I think it's a question right now. because Jacobe Brassette has played well. and even Rex Ryan this morning on Get Up. said that he felt like the Cardinals. offense operates better with Jacobe. Brassette. He's not the first person to. say that. And so that leads you to. wonder, okay, if Jacobe Brassette keeps. playing well, are they going to keep. having him play quarterback or are they. going to go back to Kyler? Look, and. here's the other point to make here. Their general manager, Monte Austin,

their head coach, general, their head. coach, Jonathan, neither one of them. drafted Kyler Murray. Um, he's got $36.9. million of guaranteed money due next. year. And I just think that this is a. question where both sides are probably. have to sit down the end of the season. and figure out what's best in both sides. best interest. Like th this this is. something that we're just, you know, you're just waiting to see how it comes, right? It's all it's also interesting, but we're not there yet right now. It's. not full-blown interesting, but it could.

be it could be interesting this. offseason. >> We can't wait to watch. We'll catch up. with you tonight. You're the man. That's. Adam Shfter. Hour two will be on the. other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change their. life. $4 million. in prizes and charity as a result of the. field goal kicking contest. And Pat, what do we got going today? >> Yeah, Ree, I'm happy I can't see that. graphic from where I'm at. Just hearing. about that is obviously something to. make my wife and daughter not be.

thrilled. $4 million out the door. because these college kids have been. showing up in such a big way. Congratulations to Garrett Morris here. You were the ticket winner. Uh you are. not going to be the one doing the. kicking. How come? >> I cannot kick. >> Okay. So, you're ass kicking. >> I'm ass kicking. I climb rocks. I don't. kick. >> What's your major? >> I'm an accountant. >> Okay. So, we're going to be counting. numbers later. >> Absolutely. >> Hopefully, it'll be some numbers off of. >> Jonah. >> Okay. Uh [cheering].

[laughter]. >> this is great. >> All right. Jono. Hey. Uh, so you were a kicker in high. school, is that right? >> Yeah, I I kicked my senior year of high. school. I was the all region kicker, baby. Jordan. [cheering]. >> Oh, really? >> We got a couple blockers. >> Oh, yeah. I think we need a couple. blockers. >> No, they do. No, no, no, no. Your senior. year, what were you? How many attempts. did you have? >> I had about five attempts. I made three.

of them. >> You went three for five and made all. region. >> Good job. I'll reach it. >> Uh let's make this for $750,000. >> $250,000. to charity. $1 million to the all region. kicker Jonah. Three back, two over. He's. got a shot here. Time out. [laughter]. Time out, dude. We got a timeout. Time. out, dude. [cheering].

>> You know what I'm saying? >> I icing a little bit. >> Yeah, right. We got blockers. >> Yeah. Yeah, let's go. >> We got some We got a million dollar. kick. J, why don't you think about it a. little bit? Uh, >> here he goes. >> No good. [cheering]. >> Jonah, we will still donate 250,000. >> No, he called a timeout before the kick. He called a timeout. [laughter]. >> 250,000 is going to go to charity. You.

two will get an opportunity to win. $125,000 each. 250 in total for you if. you're able to make this kick. Jonah. sound good for $500,000 out the door. [screaming]. [cheering]. >> He curled that in. Oh, he Steve's waving. it off. I think that was good. I think. that was good, dude. >> Can New York tell us if that was it or. not? Like those the NFL? [laughter].

>> I think it was good. $5,000. What a step up. Congratulations, brother. The following program is a. collection of stooges talking about. happenings in the sports world.

life. [screaming]. >> Hello beautiful people [music]. and welcome back to our humble the boat. the thunder on this massive overly. action month November 3rd already 2025. hours of the program begins now. >> Football is magical. We're incredibly. lucky that we get a chance to chat about. a shout to college ball and NFL football. showing up for us this [applause]. weekend. And week nine of the NFL season. wraps up this evening as the Cardinals.

travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. as three and a half or three-point. underdogs. Jacobe Brassette will be. starting at quarterback for the Arizona. Cardinals. And after a conversation with. Shester just a few moments ago, this. offseason is going to be a potentially. interesting one with Kyler and the. Cardinals. Now, as he was talking about. that, I had a baseball bat in my hands. because I remember that Kyler Murray is. the first athlete maybe ever to be. drafted top 10 in both baseball and in. the NFL. The guy can see the curveball. Guy's got an incredible arm and he's. young enough still at this point to.

potentially catch a baseball career. Now, would he have to go down to AAA. doubleA, prove himself like Tim Tibo had. to do for a while, or would he be able. to maybe start around dugout for a. little bit, get back in game tape, and. then go ahead and out there for the. Pittsburgh Pirates and be a starter by. game 30? We have no idea how that would. work, but it feels like if you talk to. Sher, he thinks all options are. potentially on the table with the. Cardinals and Kyler as we go forward. And obviously anytime the Cowboys are. involved, the Cardinals or the Kyler. stuff in the offseason is not going to.

be the story line. Story line's going to. be the Dallas Cowboys hosting Monday. Night Football game with a losing record. thus far, but still everything. potentially in front. >> Mhm. >> 34 and one on the season. That dash one. at the end, the Raiders said, "We never. want to potentially have that." They go. for two instead of kick uh kicking an. extra point in overtime. But this Dallas. Cowboys team offensively are special, fun to watch. And my source. >> says have told me that Dallas Cowboys. locker room tight. It's a tight locker. room down there. So whenever you hear. that type of stuff and you think about. how talented they are, you say, "Well,

maybe they'll go on a run." And then you. automatically have to remind yourself. it's the Dallas Cowboys. >> Who knows what's going to happen with. this? >> They go out there and lose by 20. tonight. >> They could go out and win by 50 tonight. >> Yep. Terry gonna be there. >> Well, that's the thing. You know, Stephen A and uh First Take were down. there live from Jerry World. Beautiful. setup. Looked very cool. I thought that. was a genius idea. And uh normally. whenever Stephen A does something like. that with the Cowboys because he has. such a good relationship with Jerry. Jones, >> Jerry stopped by. Uh but you see Jerry. Jones actually standing over top of a.

honey hole right now. He's looking about. hundred billion dollars in natural gas. Stephen A might have given him a call. and said, "Jerry, how do you do?" You. know, as one of you stopped by and Jerry. said, "Stephen A, you got a shovel?". Okay, because you can come join me. I'm. trying to get three miles deep. There's. a hundred billion dollars of natural gas. below me. Okay. You think I'm worried. about Dallas Cowboys right now? They got. to figure it out. Stephen, Jerry Jr., listen. You guys can't beat the. Cardinals. We got more problems than. anything. What I'm trying to do is I'm. trying to get down to this natural gas. hundred billion dollars worth of that. So, if you need me, Stephen A, we can do. a remote interview. I'm standing right. above this hole until this [laughter].

thing is three miles down if we get it. figured out. The Dallas Cowboys always. going to be a show. Dallas Cowboys. always Everything I just said there are. pretty accurate by the way. People are. going to think that I'm uh I'm maybe a. little tiny bit of satire, but certainly. all very potentially real things. Wall. Street Journal article last week, Jerry. Jones says, "I I I ain't [clears throat]. worried about defense. I'm worried about. getting three miles down. Okay, I I need. to get three miles down there cuz. there's natural gas just sitting waiting. for old Jerry Jones to fill his bank. account with." Basically what he said,

$100 billion dollars in natural gas. Allegedly Jerry Jones is trying to get. this. Go ahead, toxic tables at Ty. Schmid. You hear 100 billion and you're. in his line of work being an oil man, being a gas man. You got to do whatever. you. >> This is the glory holder of all glory. This is that is his Dallas Cowboys fans. like, "Can we try to win a Super Bowl?". He's like, "I'm about to [laughter]. >> um This a new frontier, too." Everybody. thought I was just an oil guy. Oil guy. Oil guy. Oil guy. Natural gas. About to. give me my biggest hit everywhere. $800,000 he spent on one rig that hit.

for $100 million in oil. He bought the. Dallas Cowboys with that money. He. actually congratulated himself as that. rig was. coughing out oil like any mammal would. And then once that thing started. pouring, he says, "Congratulations, Jerry Jones. You just bought the Dallas. Cowboys. Now he has a chance to do it. again." But instead just Dallas Cowboys, $100 billion. He can buy 10 teams. That's what he thinks he's doing. So. maybe no Jerry Jones tonight unless he's. fresh off the field. He's got dirt on. his face. That'd be awesome. >> He's got some [ __ ] kickers on, shovel in.

hand, saying, "Listen, I've been digging. to the core, boys. I've been trying to. find some natural gas and that's what. this team needs to do tonight against. Cardinals. >> Well, and he's the owner and it's. awesome, but he's also the GM. So, is he. you think he's there picking up calls or. calling people for this upcoming trade. deadline or. >> So, that's what everybody's mad about, I. think, is the title of general manager. that Jerry Jones has upon himself uh and. his place upon himself. I would assume. day-to-day operations. Steven is acting. as general manager. Probably has for a. while, but obviously it's a Jerry show.

I'm the owner. I'm also general manager. So what about why is your kid doing all. the calls? What I told him? You don't. think I told him to call that? >> I'm actually speaking behind him as if. he's uh. >> He knows ventriloquist. >> Ventriloquist. Yeah, he's speaking. >> Got my hand up his ass. >> Yeah, I'm actually [laughter] telling. Yeah. Tell him we like that. We like. that. We like that. We're not paying. Michael. We're not paying Michael. >> We're not doing it. >> Trade him. Trade him. >> So let me know Jerry maybe. But uh if. Jerry's in that suite tonight and we see. him know that he's fresh out of a. [ __ ] field that he thinks he can get. a hundred billion out of the bottom of, which is a beautiful thing. Let's talk.

to one half of the hammer. Don Cowboys. AP Tone spread tonight total tonight. Where's the public? What should we be. thinking as we maybe look ahead to the. final game of the week nine NFL slate? >> Yeah, currently the spread is sitting at. three and a half or three. Cowboys are. the favorites at home with a total of 54. and a half with which is a big one which. is pretty standard for the Cowboys teams. because we talked about how good their. offense is and how bad their defense has. been. Uh right now it's currently. sitting 74% of the money is on the. Dallas Cowboys to cover that spread.

tonight. Uh this weekend actually went. five and six. Teams went five and six. that were getting 60% or more of the. bets. That's backto-back weeks that. they've been five or six. So it's kind. of plateaued this season after a. terrible terrible start for the public. It's starting to even out a bit. Water. is starting to find its level. >> What's the percentage on the Cowboys. again? >> 75 74. >> 74% on the Dallas Cowboys tonight. You. win by three, win by 10. Who cares? It's. the Arizona Cardinal. They got Jacobe. Brassette as a quarterback. That's what. everybody's thinking with them. But you. listen to Shaft talk, you listen a lot. of people talk like Jacobe Brassette.

actually runs this offense a lot better. than Kyler did. That's an interesting. situation over there. Very, very. interesting. >> Especially with the game being in. Dallas. Like Kyler Murray's record in. Jerry World because he's from Texas is. absurd. >> And the Cardinals posted his record. Yeah. >> And everything like that last week. They. post. >> Yeah. Social just. >> they down. >> So many different silos. So many. different silos. They inked it down. We. saw it, you know, we we we saw it out. there and everybody else said, "Why are. you guys sending mixed signals?" Well, sounds like the Cardinals football. people aren't sending mixed signals. anymore. They're saying, "We are moving.

on." And uh if he comes in and plays, he. comes in and plays, but Jacobe Brassette. is our quarterback. Now, hopefully he's. Kyler gets healthy, 100% healthy, because there is a lingering uh injury, they say. But we shall see. World Series. baseball was awesome. >> So, >> yeah, >> here I sit. as a indifferent man. It's November 3rd, 2025. We're on an. overreaction Monday after week nine NFL. slate. That was historic. >> Great. Yeah. >> Nine out of the 12 games in the NFL.

slate, one score games. The NFL has its. fast ball all the way back. NFL matchups. good. Tonight's Monday Night Football. game could be a great game. Could be. We're We're in the dead middle of this. NFL season and college football. We're. getting towards a point where playoffs. are literally right around the corner. And the fact that we're about to do what. I'm about to do right now is crazy to. me, but it's because I've been so damn. captivated by it. >> You know, maybe it's MLB people being. really nice to us and having us come to. the All-Star game. Even though people at. ESPN didn't want us to do it, you MLB.

said, "Please, please, do you want to. host this thing? You want to be starting. pitcher for this thing?" They were so. incredibly kind. I'm like, "You know. what? I need to start maybe looking into. this a little bit more. Maybe the finer. details, the little stories, the. folklore of baseball isn't just a tiny. little off topic. Maybe that is what. baseball is. Then you start looking at. the product on the field. It's like, wait, their superstars are showing up in. a massive way. And then this World. Series has been must watch. It makes it. to game seven. And what a special finale. to the MLB season. Ty Schmidt. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, every game is.

a nailbiter or has been a nailbiter for. the most part, you know, give or take a. couple. But then, yeah, for a game seven. to do this just unbelievable. In the. third inning, bottom of the third, Bo. Bashette hits a three-run homer off. Showi Otani. And it was absolute. pandemonium in Toronto. Everyone in. there, I mean, you're already starting. to, you're thinking, hey, when's the. parade going to be? What how are we. going to do? I cannot believe we're. actually actually going to beat the. Dodgers. And I'm sure Dodgers fans were. kind of feeling that a little bit as. well. Go back to the top of the eighth.

You can see Toronto's up 4-2. And it's. starting to get scary hours time. betray. you Savage gives up a solo homer to Max. Muny to cut the lead to one. And again, that's when it's like, okay, we we got a. little bit of a fight on our hands. I. think if you're a Blue Jays fan at this. point, you're still feeling like, hey, we got our closer in the pen steel. No. big deal. We're going to be just fine. Let's go to the top of the ninth. Jeff. Hoffman for the Blue Jays. Miguel Rojos, who you know is probably a guy you've. never heard of for the Dodgers. He rips.

one down the line. solo homer in the top. of the ninth inning to tie it up and. ensure that at the very least the the. Dodgers are are they're going to have a. shot here. They're going to have a shot. But still, you know, there's a lot going. on. The the Blue Jays, they are battle. tested. They're ready for these kind of. moments. They're going to get guys on. base. They're going to do what they have. to do to try to score a run. Let's move. to the bottom of the ninth. Base is. loaded. Dalton Vau rips one to Miguel. Rojos. And boy, bang bang play at the.

plate. A lot. >> for shot. >> Exactly. Four shot. A lot of people. saying, "Hey, if he doesn't slide, if he. just runs right through the bag there, then you probably win the World Series.". Obviously, that's, you know, hindsight. is 2020. But man, I mean, you can see. baseball is a game of inches and you can. see it right there. That's how close the. Blue Jays came to winning the World. Series in the bottom of the ninth. Uh, but that's okay. That's okay. Hey, we. got a force out. We still got another. opportunity. >> Base is still juiced. Base is still. juiced. Ernie Clement, who's been a bit.

of a hero. He rips one to center and oh. no, we got a will they, won't they? Andy. Pahz, who has not played well for the. Dodgers. He was a late replacement in. this game for his defense. Miraculous. catch there to send the game into extra. innings. I mean, look at that Dodgers. fan. And then look at Ernie Clement. These guys cannot believe it. So, here. we go. We got extra inning baseball in. game seven to decide who's going to win. the World Series. And let's go to the. top of the 11th. Heavenly Hulkster. called it. Hey, Will Smith, solo home. run for the Dodgers. And boy, I mean,

this it sucked every ounce of juice of. energy, momentum outside of Rogers. Center in Toronto. Dodgers fans could. start to feel it. You could see there's. a full clip of Kershaw in the bullpen. He goes crazy. Can't believe it. He. can't believe it. And then bottom 11. with guys on first and third. The big. wobble body. Alejandro Kirk, little. number, two Mookie bets. He turns two. The Dodgers win back-to-back World. Series. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the MVP.

after throwing 96 pitches the night. before. He comes in and throws two and. two/3 inning uh innings the day after. Just gutsy gutsy performance. And yeah, now here we go. Here's all the rhetoric. Hey, this isn't fair. This isn't what. baseball should be. But man, if you like. like you said, if you're not really a. fan of baseball and you're kind of just. a casual and you got dropped into this, recency bias is definitely there. But. this was one of the best World Series in. maybe the last 25 years. >> I enjoyed every moment of it. The stars. showed up. Show obviously has a couple.

huge games and then pitching in game. seven, he obviously gets rocked for that. threerun jack and everybody's like, "Oh. no, show's entire off seasonason is. going to be talking about what happened. in game seven and what happened the last. time he pitched as opposed to all the. special things that he did." But he gets. a huge lift from his teammates. Clayton. Kershaw shown there a couple times. He's. uh retiring. So, this one's for Clayton. potential opportunity speeches. He'll be. joining us here in a matter of moments, I do believe, before uh their parade. today to celebrate everything that they.

did. But that Mookie Bett story, he was. an outfielder, right? >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. For for the Red Sox and. then the he he actually won a World. Series w with the Red Sox and then they. went to arbitration because of how good. he was and then ended up get just. getting shipped out of town to the. Dodgers. >> But he was an outfielder, right? And. then this year's first year he played. shortstop. Is that accurate? >> I don't know if it was his first. So. they they've kind of started the he was. like their everyday shorts stop this. year, but they kind of started the. transition last year of moving him from. the outfield into the infield just. because he's such a good athlete and.

they signed a couple guys in the. outfield. So they needed to keep him on. the field. But yeah, he's it's he hasn't. been playing infield like his whole life. or anything. It's still very new to him. And he even said, you know, on that. double play, he was like, man, I was. like almost worried like, hey, I I need. to make sure that I can actually do. this. And for a guy like that who's won. an MVP, like he needs to, you know, like. that's very weird that he would have. those kind of thoughts, but it paid off. He's a great athlete and, you know, game. on the line. He uh he gets the the.

double play and and here you go. You. know, the rest is history. >> Gets the bat snapped on uh Naylor there. and him just turning a double. I guess. there's a picture of him as the ball's. leaving his hand, he's smiling cuz he. knows what's about to happen. Special. moment for those guys. And you know, there's a lot of slander being tossed at. the Dodgers because they spent a bunch. of money. They spent a bunch of money. It's like they're allowed to. So, >> yeah, >> like if you're allowed to do it and the. the Blue Jays spent a bunch of money, too, right? >> Yeah, absolutely. Gumpy brought up a. good point. Uh Rogers Communications.

owns the Blue Jays. It's like one of. it's like the one of the the biggest. telecommunications. Pit of money. >> Yeah. The biggest telecommunication. company in Canada. Like they're worth. billions and billions and billions of. dollars. And all of these owners, all of. these guys are billionaires. >> Not all of them. >> Well, not all. Sure. Sure. Well, >> some people need Seven Springs value to. be a little bit bigger. That's true. >> And that's the entire conversation, right? Exactly. It's like as a. Pittsburgh Pirates fan, I'm being kind. of held hostage strictly because I got. something.

>> almost said something terrible here. >> I'm happy that my lips stopped that. Okay. >> See, this is new me, you know. Old me a. little bit different there. I would have. let that one fly. I'm not going to call. this guy doofus, okay? Which is what I. was about to do. some doofus [ __ ]. >> I think that would be okay. >> Yeah, but you don't know what he did. with Seven Springs. I don't. >> Okay. So, I don't know how long he was. in charge of Seven Springs, but I had. some great times on that tubing hill. with Tim McAfee. Okay. We're all suited. and booted. So, I at least owe him at. least a sense of gratitude for that. entire thing. But him being the Pirates.

owner has been ass. This guy doesn't. have the money to compete with these. people and he doesn't want to. If he had. the money, he wouldn't want to compete. with him. That's his entire mindset. So. that leads to the entire quagmire that. current currently baseball is sitting. in, right Todd? >> Yeah, without a doubt. And it's just. it's it's one of those things where like. could I mean all of these guy like they. they you that you could spend money you. could. Now there it also comes into play. like there are obviously just like in. the NFL or any other big-time sport like. there are certain cities that are free. agency destinations. So the LA's of the.

world and the New Yorks like they're. always going to have a leg up. But I. mean, it's it's kind of tight. Like this. this is what the MLB has been for a. really long time. And like no one. bitched about it when the Yankees were. doing it in the late uh '9s and in the. 2000s. And I don't know, maybe it's. because the Dodgers have come off as. like so dominant and every time there is. a marquee player who becomes available. or, you know, whatever the case may be, it seems like they are always going to. the Dodgers. But like you said, you.

mentioned it at the top of the show, the. Mets spent the most money in baseball. this year. they didn't make the. playoffs. So, like there are ways you. can get around it. Um, and it's kind of. on the owner whether or not they want to. just make the most money or they want. their team to win a title. >> Game seven of the Dodgers Blue Jays. World Series Sports Business Journal. reporting peaked at $31.5 million or 35. 31.5 million people. That's up 10% from. 2019's game seven. >> That's crazy. >> Congratulations. Thanks, Bill. >> It's a big number. It. >> is a big number, especially with how.

great the game was. It delivered. I. mean, they had an 18 in game. Obviously, they have 11 in game uh in the game. seven. It's like stars out everywhere. Uh Clayton Kershaw, we don't know if. he's going to be able to make it. We. thought we had thought we had we don't. know. They got the parade starting very. soon. Sure. >> So, that would have been a Hail Mary. attempt. We will be having Jet join us. here in a matter of moments to. hopefully, you know, fill us in on. anything that we missed there. But. baseball being up and to the right, great. Clayton Kershaw winning on his. retirement year. Sweet. Muki Betts. making a play. Show getting to have an.

off season. And Yoshi Yamamoto is the. best pitcher in baseball. >> Uh I mean. >> not Baron ball skins. >> No, >> I mean I would say no, but like the the. big thing like skins has never pitched. in the playoffs. Like that's that's when. it matters. Like this guy came in that's. why you pay him all that money and he. was absolutely na like he was unhitable. He was basically the Blue Jays only. kryptonite and very fitting and you know. talk about having big- time nuts and. guts for them to for him to throw as. many pitches he did the night before. And then they basically said pregame.

like, "Hey, every every pitcher we have. is going to be available to go except. for Yamamoto." And he basically said. like, "No, like if you need me, I can. go." And he ends up closing out the game. throwing the last two and two/3s. innings. >> I just sent a tweet in that was sent to. me uh by somebody who might have rooting. interest in chitchatting about baseball. [laughter] a little bit more. Um the NBA. and MLB both had a game seven for its. championship this year. The average. viewership numbers weren't close. The. NBA 16.61, 61 which is up. They said.

remember numbers were up for this. particular World Series 25.98 million. and I don't know if that's accounting. for Canada, Japan and everything else. like that but it possibly could be. It's. like uh baseball swinging a hot bat. >> Yeah, I'm I'm becoming a fan of. baseball. It's when uh. >> so baseball's done now. >> Baseball's done. Yeah, pitchers. Yeah, they report in 3 months, but this year. uh in 20 or I shouldn't say this year, 2026, early 2026, we have the World. Baseball Classic, which I think I don't. want to say that's when you became a fan.

of baseball, but we had the Showhe. versus Trout matchup. And it was kind of. like a a small picture of like, hey, this is what premier top level baseball. could be. And for the first time, in my. opinion, for the first time ever, the US. this year, just with like their roster. construction thus far, they're basically. saying like, "Hey, let's go win this. thing." In the years past, it's kind of. just been like all the really elite guys. don't want to get hurt. You have the. regular season starting soon, so no. reason to kind of bump up your entire. offseason program to get ready for.

something like this. But we are. legitimately trying to win this this. year. >> This this is special for baseball if. it's good. I mean, I locked in on it. just like Four Nations. Ladies and. gentlemen, joining us now is a man who. is a threetime. World Series champion, threetime Sai. Young winner, 11time All-Star, 2014 MVP. He has 3,52. strikeouts, 2.53. career erra, 223 wins, and I saw him. shirtless the other night. He looks like.

he's enjoying the hell out of his life. Ladies and gentlemen, high school. graduate alongside Matthew Stafford, a. man who goes out on top of the world, Clayton Kershaw. >> Yeah, Clayton, [applause and cheering]. >> how are you, dude? >> Hey, what's up, guys? Thanks for having. me. >> Are you on a float right now? Thank you. for joining us. How are the vibes? >> Oh, man. Couldn't be better. Yeah, we're. on our float. We're getting ready to uh. take off from Dodger Stadium. And uh.

like you said, man, what a way to go. out. It's going to be the best. >> This one's for Clayton. You know, there. could be a couple of those speeches and. we appreciate you taking a couple. moments here, but we don't want to hold. up too much of your time. Obviously, big. moment in your life. Can you describe to. me the team? I mean, the grittiness of. your squad. I I put a tweet out that. said it feels like you guys blue jays. the Blue Jays there. Do you feel that? And what do you describe this team as? >> Yeah, man. Um, I think you're talking. about the grittiness. Sorry you broke up. a little bit, but uh this team has just.

been unbelievable all the way through. It's just so special to be a part of. Um. >> just the way we won that game, like it. could have gone either way. The Blue. Jays played unbelievable the whole time. and um I just I can't believe we won, man. It's unbelievable. >> Well, congratulations. We're obviously. losing service. Let's chitchat a little. bit about the conversation around the. amount of superstars you guys have. Is. that tough to deal with or is the. culture strong over there? Culture is. the everything I assume for you guys. Why are you able to win with this when. like the Mets not necessarily able to or.

other places that have superstars? >> Yeah, you know, I think it starts with. the people, right? Like yeah, these. superstars are, you know, show Muki, Freddy, Will Smith, all these guys are. unbelievable players and they're. superstars, but um they put the team. first and that can look a lot of. different ways. you know, from Muki. starting at shortstop or from Will Smith. catching or from Freddy playing hurt or. show pitching on short rest and uh Yama. pitching on no day's rest, you know, we. just have a lot of guys willing to. sacrifice for the good of the group and.

um and that's why it works is because. you got to have superstar character and. uh we got those guys, man, and it's just. so special. >> I love the amount of stars that you. have. I like that the stars all show up. You know, stars can obviously get paid. and not show up. Your guys seemingly. always step up to the plate. Good. metaphor there. As a baseball host that. I am currently, have you guys thought. about maybe taking those floats all the. way to Japan with Yamamoto and Show? Are. you guys going to put those things on. boats? Maybe take a trip to [laughter]. Japan and celebrate this as well.

>> Oh my. Could you imagine going to Japan. with those guys? I mean, that would be. like traveling with the Beatles or. Taylor Swift or something. So, I'm all. in though. I'm all in. Let's get them. over there. >> Tell me about your. >> Tell me about your relationship with. them. Honestly, tell me about the the. kind of Japanese culture mixing with. your guys' locker room cuz I see you all. doing this thing. I I don't know what it. is, but I see a lot of this stuff that. seemingly everybody's all in. Can you. tell me about mingling with the. cultures? And what the hell is this?

>> I wish I could see you, man. I don't. even know what you're doing. Oh, that. Oh, that is a that's like a little hip. lock move we do to warm up. And I have. no idea why that's our celebration, but. that's that's why we do it. Oh, you guys. got say hi to Coup. >> Have fun. >> Yeah. >> Like that. [laughter]. >> Oh, but uh yeah, Shan Yama, Roki, the. Japanese culture is. >> um they're just so gracious. I mean, I. think that's the biggest thing. And.

they're willing to do anything for us. and they're willing to, you know, take. the ball. And Show's really taught us a. lot. And um I don't have enough. I mean, I it's just unbelievable. I wish I had. more things to say other than they're. just amazing guys. >> Enjoy it all, Clayton. You deserve it, brother. Hell of a way to go out. Thank. you for your service to sports and to us. as sports fans throughout all the years. You earned it. You deserve it, brother. Enjoy yourself. >> Hey, thank you very much for having me, guys. Appreciate it. >> Hey, spray tan that thing, ladies and. gentlemen. Clayton Kershaw.

>> Yeah, Clayton. [applause and cheering]. >> What a legend, dude. What a legend. Yeah, that was crazy. What? like, uh, hey, can can anybody stop by today? You. know, we don't want to, uh, overstep our. boundaries. Well, we got our parade. today. Oh, okay. Never mind. No, but we. still got the time before and everybody. will be here. We'll send you asking. Kershaw wanting to come on was cool. Yeah. Like that's cool. >> He's a legend. Best pitcher of his. generation. >> Okay. How many years? So, I saw the. amount of strikeouts there. 3,52. strikeouts. >> Yeah. So, like skins might have a a. chance to like get 3,000 strikeouts. A.

lot of people say with like the way. pitchers are now, like 3,000 strikeouts, like no one who currently pitches in the. MLB will ever reach that number again. >> This is an MLB graphic. Obviously, they. have a lot of respect and appreciation. for Clayton Kershaw. Seems like all his. teammates do, too. I haven't really. heard a single negative thing about him. Then he's got Coupe obviously riding uh. shotgun alongside of his entire run. Just kind of like a uh super superstar, if you will, for the uh Major League. Baseball. >> Yeah, without a doubt. And like early on. in his career, he kind of had like the. Payton Manning thing going where like he.

was unbelievable in the regular season. He, you know, winning Sai Young's, striking out a bunch of guys, but then. the Dodgers could never win the World. Series. And that kind of dominated like. the the rhetoric around his early. career. It's like, yeah, this guy's. nails in the regular season, but he. can't win the big one. And then for. whatever, you know, something changes. the Dodgers, whether it's ownership or. they kind of make more of a commitment. to go allin, they end up winning three. World Series by the time he's done. Like, he will be a first ballot hall of. famer. No question. He is the best.

pitcher of of like my generation without. a doubt. He's unbelievable. And and all. accounts are like, "Yeah, everyone who. has played in the MLB or, you know, is a. like it's impossible to hate that guy.". >> Yeah. I uh I appreciate him walking. around shirtless, too. >> Yeah. >> I'm retired, dude. His retired body. That was his first moments of being. retired. Give me a drink and let's go. and celebrate this entire thing. Baseball has been awesome. Culture. spectacular. >> Got to hang out with the boys a lot. >> Yeah. >> You got You're with the boys a lot. >> Well, like you said in in like the NFL, like if if a baseball team didn't like.

each other, that team is not winning. Like you just can't cuz that that's a. long season. That's a lot of time away. from your family where it's like if you. don't like the guys in your clubhouse, I. don't think there is any chance that you. win a World Series. >> What? And the difference between an out. and a home run is what that. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Whenever you're hitting that. So if you. have any negative energy or vibe, right? I mean, that is just a game changer, especially when you're dealing with. humans. Um, >> so shout out to the Dodgers doing it. They pissed a lot of people off. We'll. talk to Jet Pass in the next couple days.

to tell us what that means for the. offseason. But shout out to baseball. We. appreciate you. Can't wait for World. Baseball Classic. Cannot wait. And we. need to be winning that [ __ ] too. >> We We stacked the lineup this year. >> Yeah, but so Japan, right? I assume. >> [ __ ] Japan's got a couple of like the. really good guys, but like the last time. we played like the our starting pitchers. like who we're like they're guys that. are good in the majors, but guys that. like you would have never heard of like. Skins is playing. >> What? >> Aaron Judge is playing, Big Dumper's. playing. Bobby Whit Junior's playing. like all all of like the biggest.

superstars. >> Where are these games at? Where are. these games at? >> So, uh it's pool play. So, all of our. pool play games are in Texas, I want to. say at the Rangers Stadium. There's also. games in Miami. There's games in Japan. and then I believe there's some in like. Latin America somewhere. So you have. pool play there and then the finals the. championship are in Miami at the. Marlins. >> Okay, let's go win that America. >> Shout out to baseball. We appreciate it. Shout out to football obviously having a. huge day yesterday NFL football and we.

said nine out of the 12 games were. one-score games on Sunday slate. Colts. game count as that. Okay, that was a. seven-point ball game against Pittsburgh. Steelers. Now, Pittsburgh Steelers, I. gave credit to Danny Smith, this man who. chews a law of bazooka gum. I mean, Danny Smith, yer legend, been coaching. special teams a long time. Me and this. guy, I would say great relationship is. kind of how we would both describe it. Just strictly because I think he had. respect for me because I am from. Pittsburgh coming into the league and. then he would come chat with me. I would. talk [ __ ] back to him, he would talk.

[ __ ] to me. We're Pittsburgh people. That that is kind of how it went. And. this man has been committed to ball for. a very, very long time. And he chews an. obnoxious amount of gum all the time. I. I mean, this is just who he is as a. person. And I gave him credit yesterday. just because the amount of respect I. have for him about basically beating a. new kickoff rule. This gum chewing yins. are genius. Just beat the damn rule. book. You know, brand new kickoff right. now. We're kicking off from a different. spot than everybody's lined up. Then. there was a 15 yard penalty. That thing. goes to the 50. Chris Boswell just kicks.

this thing out of bounds inside the 10. yard line. Let me just go ahead and boot. this thing out of bounds. commentators, everybody kind of thinking to. themselves, what the hell this guy just. do? Trying to pin him, what an idiot. And he goes, "Yep, thank you. That'll do. it." And then they show Danny Smith, he. celebrate [laughter]. it. Beat the game. Beat game. He's. letting everybody know too. He let Yep. Just like we read rule book. We This. what we This beat some [ __ ] don't. even know. We got to tell them it's on. 25. So the rule is Yep. Yep. [laughter].

Put that on 25. you know, he feels very. good about himself and Bos is having to. explain to offensive linemen and tight. ends and everybody, hey, we just we're. putting balls going at 25. We prepare. for this day. He goes, that's right. That's right. That's exactly what we're. looking for. Ball at the 25 is a great. starting position now at this stage of. what the football is because 35 yardd. line is touchback uh drive start. So, the reason why the rules uh they got it. to 25 is because the rule says 25 yards. from the place in which you kicked or 25. from the end zone. So, if you're kicking. off at the 50, drive starts immediately.

at the 25. You just kicked that thing. out of bounds. Genius. I gave him. credit. You know where he found it? >> Where's that? >> Where? >> Colts did it against the Raiders. I must. have been taking a dump. This happened. in the Lighthouse earlier this season. Rickerto Sanchez kicks it out of bounds. Commentators call him terrible. What a. hat. This guy, >> this guy's no control. Why would you do. that? Then all of a sudden, they place. the ball at the 25 yardd line after. Shane Sty and everybody explains, "Hey, 25 yards from the thing. That's where. it's supposed to be." So the Colts.

actually are the super geniuses. >> Okay. Danny Smith kind of ripped it from. him. Now Danny Smith though certainly. executed perfectly in the time in which. they did. But that situation right there. was pretty indicative of what the. Pittsburgh Steelers were yesterday. Everything working. Seemingly. everything. It. >> was a close game though. >> Weightman the seven-point game. Weightman the 24/7 here. Colts have a. huge comeback. [laughter] It's be 247. before you know it. Weightman punter for. the Steelers. Everybody's talking about. Josh DS not getting uh uh hit and. everything like that. Bomb. just hits an.

absolute bomb there that gets downs kind. of rolling. Ball hits him. That's one. turnover. TJ Watt strip sack pick by. Wilson. It felt like the Pittsburgh. Steelers everything was going their. direction. So getting a kickoff that. outsmarts the current rule and it. exposes a loophole in the current rule. that is said is like uh kind of appropo. for what the Pittsburgh Steelers were. yesterday. >> Yeah, I mean everything was pretty much. perfect. The only thing that wasn't. perfect is they uh did not score after. that muff punt. Uh that is not a.

touchdown. You cannot advance a muff pun. for those who did not know that. >> People didn't know bowl. There was a lot. of there's a lot of uh a lot of. Pittsburgh people. A lot of Pittsburgh. people. Whoa. >> Well, that which I was. >> No, I know cuz I'm a punter. Okay. So, literally muff I'm trying to I'm trying. to get all the muffs. >> Sure. >> I'm trying to I'm muff hunting. >> Yes, you are. >> I'm muff hunting. Okay. If I can hit. this thing higher and this guy will muff. this thing. Chaos down there. That is. what we're I'm looking for muffs. Now, everybody that plays in the NFL though, every special teams coordinator said.

that's why the guy ran it in. He even. knew this is not a touchdown because. it's like one of the first thing, but. you got to cover the ball. You got to. get on top of it. Yeah, we stop on. fourth down, I do believe, down there, which is massive respect for our defense. getting that stand, but other than that, it's like uh Steelers dominated the. Colts yesterday. That is kind of the. story. >> Is there a reason for that muff punt. rule that you can't advance it. strategically wise? Why is that the. rule? >> Isn't Vince Papali? Didn't he do it for. the Eagles? and they're like, "All. right, we we can't be having this happen. every single game.". >> The guy's barback. He's scoring.

touchdowns. I don't I don't think that. can happen. I think it's cuz they never. possess it. >> So, they never possess the ball. So, it's not a change of possession. So, it's just like a uh live ball is kind of. how it's viewed as opposed to an extra. down, you know, I think is kind of how. >> Go ahead. >> Do you can you advance say you onside. kick and it hits off the returning team. and then you pick it up. Can you advance. that? No. >> No. Yeah, that's. >> I didn't think so. So, yeah, it's. possession. It's got to be. >> they got they got to possess it and and. they can half second. >> boom. >> blow up possession you can but if it's.

just uh. >> a a touch which we're all looking for. I. mean if you see. >> Yep. >> you see gunners there are trying to get. that guy on the ball and you know. sometimes there was a little bit of a. run of uh kicking teams doing a little. bit too dramatic trying to push people. into the ball but that is certainly. something like hey just let them let. their heel hit it. Just let their heel. hit it. Then all of a sudden we got a. live ball action out there. You got to. know the rules. Obviously they did. Josh. down zone. A little bit of a blender. there. And also that field. I mean ball is bouncing crazy. Went.

right off the ground. Right off. Yeah, right. That thing could have. >> The footballs the footballs always go. the way that they're supposed to. Uh I. thought field was okay yesterday. It was. saying was kicking up a bit or whatever. But uh No. >> Well, Jonathan Taylor couldn't run on. it. So I'd like to know what the hell. you were doing. And I'd like every other. stadium not to do it. Jonathan Taylor's. huge for the NFL right now. And you guys. just took him out. Well, a lot of people. were ask does he know how to run on. grass? >> Can the Colts play out? >> We got coconut husk here. >> Do the Colts know how to play outside? A. lot of people were asking those. questions. I don't know if they've done. either this year. I didn't look into it.

enough, but I saw it on the internet. >> We have outdoor practice fields. That. roof has been open. True. Same with the. window. So, we have played outside. I've. been at the game. I've got sunburn at a. game down there, brother. Okay. So, the. sun is shining in. The wind is affecting. our team. And we're running on coconut. husk. I know it's fast. >> Guys got a slow ass track over. >> Yeah, >> you guys did play at the Titans. So, there was one outside game on grass. >> The Titans team's tough team. They are. good team. They fought hard yesterday.

>> Yeah, Chargers are in dog fight there. I. mean, that's a real dog fight there. Uh, okay. So, let's talk a little bit about. um that Bears Bengals finish. We need to. talk about it. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> All time. >> Alltimer. >> Yeah. And what could come from this is a. massive kaboom. Like a massive Cincinnati. kaboom. I mean I mean with the how good. the offense is with how great the.

offense is with how much money they've. invested in their greatness. That's an. insane catch right there. [laughter]. Okay. That is an absolute. This guy had. two of them. This guy is insane out. there. He's considered one a or whatever. because Jamar Chase is obviously on that. team as well. If T. Higgins would have. left the Cincinnati Bengals and got the. deal that he got currently with the. Bengals at some other team. He'd be top. five. They'd say this guy's top five. wide receiver. But it's hard to put the. Bengals two top wide receivers in top. five conversations. Jamar Chase on the. other side. That guy actual top five.

conversation all the time. T could be in. the same exact situation, but this is. how they paid him. Chase Brown running. back. He's not happy. No. >> Joey Flack can't really speak on it. because he's brand new to the team, but. I'm sure he's like, "You guys, I just. had 400 some yards, man. >> I'm throwing the ball all over the yard. Just let a a comeback with less than two. minutes in the fourth quarter. We got an. onside kick on the team. We go down. We. win this game. Improbable happens when. Joe Flacko is at quarterback. Onside. kick gets recovered. Yeah, right. Never. happens nowadays. Hits guy's foot.

Cincinnati Bengals got it. Joe Flack. 143. Let me go score a touchdown. This. was supposed to be pivotal day. Monumental day for this Bengals team. Even without Joe Burrow, we can go ahead. and win. Exhilarating. Exciting. The. jungle's going crazy. We did it. The. ruler of the jungle, whoever it was, says, "Ah, I beat the Bears." Caleb. Williams. Uh-uh. Uh-uh. USC Caleb Oklahoma Caleb scrambling,

dancing. First down, Chicago Bears. Time. out. Time out. Time out. Time out. 25. seconds left. Did it leave too much time. for Caleb Williams? >> Only need a field goal, as you can. recall. No timeouts. She throw over the. middle of the field. We're going to have. to get down and spike it. Coulson. Lovelin says, "Don't you worry about. spiking it on the field. I'mma spike. this [ __ ] in the end zone. Touchdown. Bengals tackled nobody.". Immediately after the game, everybody on. the Cincinnati Bengals offensive side. say, "These guys suck.". >> Talk about the defense. And everybody on. defense said, "Get me out of here." So.

right now the Cincinnati Bengals go come. from a less than a minute win, comeback. win, improbable onside kick and. everything could unite the entire fan. base and building and locker room. You. name it. Exhilarating win. You're. talking about climax of all climaxes. Weren't supposed to win that game. Instead, lose. This place sucks. That defense is. disgusting. >> Yeah. >> And on defense, we know. Get me out of. here. This could have been a pivotal day. in the future of the Cincinnati Bengals.

And all they need to do is just tackle. Coulson Lin one time. >> And I'm glad you said pivotal day. because I I went back to see it. This So. this was week nine. Week eight last year. was when the Bears were at Washington. They had the incredible comeback. Commanders throw the Hail Mary. They. they go to the playoffs. They do all the. incredible things and then the Bears. lose every single game the rest of the. season except for one. So, I was. thinking, could this be a similar. situation this year where this propels. the Bears to, you know, a great rest of. the season and the Bengals, you know, just go into the tank because it was not.

just this week. Remember last week? Last. week they were up whatever 16 17 on the. Jets and the Jets came back and did. basically the same thing. Like, I. couldn't imagine what that locker room. is like. >> Hey, what happened in college ball this. weekend? Anything that we need to hit? Certainly some big outcomes. Utah, hey, Utah was cold. Utah was awesome. Utah. was early. Utah wasn't a lot of sleep. for us. The Utah uh youths student. section, the Mus showed up in a big way. for game day. We're very appreciative of. that. Great second kick by Jonah.

That was a lot of fun. But the Utah Utes. get a huge win over Cincinnati. Shout. out to Kirk Herbstre bringing in some. blockers. I appreciate old buddy looking. out for me through that entire process. Utah gets huge win over Cincinnati very. late night. Shout out to our student. section. I think a lot of the boys took. the shirts off too. Took the tarps off. late. Shout out to Stan for Steve trying. not to have these guys make the kick. Absolutely love that. He was so sure of. it. >> He knew. >> I don't think so. [laughter] Uh, are you. guys looking at another kick? That had. to be another ball. That was not the one.

I was looking at. Utah gets a huge win. Garrett and Jonah get a win on the kick. Obviously, second chance. We appreciate. that. That's continuing to get pretty. expensive. But other things happen. around college football world, including. on them country roads, brother. >> Yeah, it was uh definitely one of those. college football weekends that you came. in, you're like, what's going to happen? It's not a great slate. It was a weekend. for upsets. That tends to happen. We. start in Houston. West Virginia up 38-28. already. They run one in to basically. seal this one. Mountaineers get a huge. win over Houston who was in the running.

for the Big 12. Not anymore. >> Yeah, not anymore. Houston, obviously. Good luck to them down there. Scotty. Fox, that quarterback talking a little. bit [ __ ] right there as he was walking. out. He is the uh I believe the first. quarterback that graduates high school. early, comes to West Virginia during the. spring. I've been told from source sis. >> that the boys radiate to Scotty Fox have. since the beginning. I don't want to say. it's like a sunshine type thing, but. kind of like a sunshine type situation. in the locker room. Freshman obviously. young at the beginning of the season are.

trying to figure out the quarterback. We. have a couple injuries, have a couple. terrible games. Scotty Fox kind of gets. handed the reigns. This dude is. electrifying. Mountaineers and Rich. Rodriguez on the road back to hard edge. get a huge win for the entire program. >> Yes, they did. And then you talked about. on game day uh teams that control their. own destiny in the ACC. One of them was. Georgia Tech. Uh a highscoring insane. battle. Hannes King had over 500 total. yards in this game, but not enough. Throws a pick here for NC State. Now. Georgia Tech is defeated. Is the ACC a.

one bid league? It potentially could be. when you go down to SMU who was hosting. Miami. Miami's first time out of the. state. They go to overtime. Carson Beck. throws an interception on the first. possession. Um, and then SMU gets the. ball, they drive it down in overtime, they get the touchdown, they storm the. field. ACC is in chaos now. >> Yeah, they certainly are in chaos. Rhett. Lashley just got a new deal down there. at SMU. SMU was having their homecoming. game. There was a lot of things up. against it. Kirk Herbstreet mentioned it.

uh while he was talking about this game. on game day. He talked to Gumpy. beforehand and Gumpy was certainly. worried. Miami out of it now. They. didn't control their destiny going into. the weekend. They certainly don't. anymore. How do you view the season? He. was already reminiscing. >> Oh no. >> He was already reminiscing soon as game. soon as the game ended. He goes, "We'll. always have that Notre Dame win or. whatever." You know, he was kind of. looking back on it. Gumps, what are your. thoughts on this year's Miami Hurricane. squad? >> Uh those boys were sleeping coming off. the bus. I don't know if you saw the.

video. It wasn't pretty. That was an. early start. First time out of Florida. It was ugly. Carson Beck kind of just. makes these mistakes when you can't have. them. And uh we're kind of cooked, but I. would like to urge everybody, let's slow. down on the Crystal Ball hate. You know, I love Crystal Ball. He's a great. recruiter, great head coach. Maybe think. about OC a little bit. >> All right. Uh good luck to Miami. Um. they're going to Gator Bowl. >> Yeah, maybe Reliquest Bowl. >> Yeah, the Bel perhaps. >> Oh, maybe. Maybe they're going to win.

it. >> No doubt. >> they're going to win it. Well, it. depends on who plays, I guess. But it. does feel like some teams kind of work. themselves into a shoot. the shoot being. out of this EFP conversation this. weekend. Huge losses, a lot of chaos, big wins as well. Go ahead, Tom. >> Yeah, there was some big wins. Let's go. down to the SEC first off with Texas. Uh. Vandy was coming to town, Texas. Arch, tell you what, there was a lot of talk. and a lot of uh people clowning Arch at. the beginning of the season. He has. quietly the last three weeks been. really, really good coming off of uh the. concussion. Had an incredible game.

against Vandy. Texas gets a big win. They are still in the playoff hunt. Did. you see Arch Manning? Obviously a little. bit of a duck there. Who cares? His. uncles threw some ducks. As long as. they're in a good spot and everybody can. catch him, that's great news. Vandy gets. a huge loss here. They lose to Alabama. and they lose to Texas. That does not. mean that Vandy is not a success story. in the SEC. They certainly should be. heralded as such, but if you start. looking down the line at the schedule. going home, feels like Vandy might not. make the college football playoff. Whenever you think about Texas, do you. see Arch Manning whenever he was coming. out of the tunnel?

>> Zoom in on his face. >> Jack back at the [ __ ] crib. he. actually says. And then they go out. after 41 days of not having a home game. They go out there and beat Vandy. Huge. for them. Vibes for them are high. Same. with another school that they obviously. have a lot of rivalry with. >> Yeah. Oklahoma went into Tennessee uh. and got a just a ginormous win because. this is the the statement win for. Oklahoma this season going on the road. They had the big one against Michigan at. home, but they've been a little bit down. as of late. Matier played incredible. The defense got big stops. Oklahoma gets.

a huge win on the road to keep their. playoff hopes alive. >> Congrats to Oklahoma. And let's go down. to the SEC. There's some fun happening. with a guy whose name is all in every. conversation. >> Yep. Lane kissing. Lane Keifin, sorry. Old Miss down at the sip. The vibes are. incredible. They got a big win against. South Carolina, but a lot of the talk. was just Lane on the sidelines. Obviously, he throws the the oop here to. Kaiwan Lacy. Just I mean, incredible. running back. And then he's pushing his. players into the crowd.

>> Hey, go celebrate. Go do the Oxford leap. with the student section. That's a 15yd. penalty. Potentially a fine. Lane Kein. says, "Who cares?" It feels as if Lane. Kein's vibes are insane at all miss, especially in the middle of all this. He. facetimed me in the middle of game day. Okay. He just FaceTimes me in the middle. of it. We're doing this thing. I see a. Lane Keifin FaceTime. I answer it. He's. got Winnad and the boys in the car. Are. they driving to the stadium together? Feels like that is what was happening. Just think about how close you got to be. for all of this to happen, right? For. all this to happen, how close this team.

has to be with Lane. So, for all the. potential distractions and everything. like that, I don't think the Old Miss. team sees it at all. And it looks like. they enjoy the hell out of themselves. What a time to be alive down there. Congrats to Lane Keifin and Old Miss and. they might be on a trajectory. Hey, they. might be dancing in 12 down to one. Let's pivot back to the NFL. Joining us. now is a man who's down at Jerry World. Ladies and gentlemen, he is the face of. quarterback conversation on ESPN, front. of the program. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan Rosowski. >> Hey, Dan.

>> What's up? >> What's up? You You feel so cool right. now. This is a pretty cool shot right. here, Dan. It is pretty cool shot right. here. So, you're on the uh you're on. about the 25 yard line, 30 yard line. >> I am on the 10 yard line. >> Oh, way down there. Okay. I forgot how. big that. >> I'm on the 10 right about there. And then just that gigantic gigantic. screen. >> Yeah, it's huge. It's beautiful. It. changed the way people put LEDs in their. stadium. And remember at one point that.

thing was so low punters would hit it on. every single punt. Now they've lifted it. a bit where if you want to hit it, you. still can if you're in the NFL, but. usually very avoidable. I saw you down. there on First Take. That looked. electrifying. What are you doing in the. stadium? Are you working tonight or you. guys doing NFL live from there? >> We got NFL live from here. Yeah. So, first take was like a mile away from the. stadium at kind of like a big sports. setup area and then we have NFL live. from here obviously countdown and then. the game. >> Okay, so let's talk about the game. tonight. Jacobe Brassette playing. quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals.

There's a chance that Kyler has a role. for their team. What do you think about. Arizona? And then on the other side, Dallas Cowboys, they could score a. 100red or this could be a game that they. lose. Like if you ask Dallas Cowboys. fans, they will somehow figure out a way. to lose this game. Start with the. Cardinals and then roll into the. Cowboys. Dano. >> Yeah, I like the Cardinals tonight. One, this team, although two and five and. five losses, five losses by 13 total. points. So, this is a team that is just. a better football team than their. record. Every game is incredibly close.

And I would argue they've played. offensively better this year with Jacobe. Brassette than they did with Kyler. Murray. It seems that he's got just as. good of a connection with Trey McBride, who's one of the best tight ends in. football. seems like he's got a better. connection with Marvin Harrison Jr. Jacobe does than Kyler. And so I think. this is a physical offensive line. They're going to play with multiple. tight ends. They're going to run the. football with success with three tight. ends on the field against Dallas. Jacob's a good player. Okay, this is a. he's he's been a good quarterback for.

years in the NFL. He's not as electric. as a Kyler Murray, no question. But he's. going to operate this offense and I. think time of possession can be huge for. Arizona tonight. And then I would say. defensively, Dallas's two receivers and. tight end we know are fantastic. Defensively, this is a good unit. They. don't give up a ton. They don't allow a. ton of points a game. It's a huge. challenge, but Will Johnson, their. corners cornerback is playing good. football. Um, I would expect Buddha. Baker to get his hand on the ball. tonight, if not two. He's outstanding. Max Melton's been playing good. So, I. just think this is a better football.

team. I'm not selling everybody that. Arizona is going to blow them out, but I. think Arizona is more than capable of. winning this game on the road. Jacobe, we talked to Shaft. Jacobe said or Shaft. said that a lot of people are saying. this offense better with Jacobe at. quarterback. Why is that? And what do. you think about the handling of the. entire situation? Shfter told us that. this offseason could be interesting as. he did his windhorse impression for. Kyler in Arizona. Your thoughts on that. particular case. >> Yeah, so Kyler last year I thought at. times was playing like a top five. quarterback. He he really had some.

big-time performances and this year. necessarily hasn't hit that well. Why is. Jacobe playing better? I think Jacobe. trusts the system a little bit more. I. think Jacobe just gets the play call, wants to operate the play call to the. very best of the play call, and is. willing to allow the defense to tell him. where to throw the ball. He's much. obviously less reliant on doing some of. this stuff like going and being a. playmaker. he just wants to be a. facilitator where Kyler's such a dynamic. athlete that if he doesn't necessarily. think the play call gets the line of. scrimmage is going to be that ideal call.

or doesn't necessarily trust some of the. pass concepts he believes that. athletically he can go make a play and. he's more often than not accurate but. it's not necessarily the best thing for. the the offense right to get everybody. involved and so I just think Jacobe. because he's not a ridiculous a athlete. has much more of a facilitator mindset. and this is an offense that talented. I. like Mike Wilson, their second receiver. Marvin Harrison's had a much better. performance than I think that Thursday. night game. He had that those big plays.

late. I think Herby was on the call if I. remember that. >> Yeah. Had a drop earlier, hit rock. bottom, then came back at the end. >> Yeah. Yeah. He's been much more. productive. And so I think as a whole, uh, Jacob's just, this offense seems to. be much more in rhythm this year with. him at quarterback. >> And McBride's an animal. I I should have. Yeah, he is. He'll be all over the place. tonight. and his energy is spectacular. He is mustwatch. Let's go to the Dallas. Cowboys side of this entire thing. You're obviously a mile down the road. with First Take. Cowboys fans feel.

however they feel in the moment. Uh what. are their expectations for tonight? And. how do you think Jerry World looks. tonight against the Cardinals? >> Yeah, I mean this place would be rocking. tonight. Um I think the expectations are. almost every game they have to go score. 38 to 40 to win. I mean, Arizona is. going to control this game from an. offensive perspective. And so, if you're. Dak and this offense, the challenge. against Arizona's defense with Jonathan. Ganon kind of their head coach and. defensive play caller is like you often.

don't necessarily know what you're going. to get. This is one of the defenses in. the NFL that has like you don't. necessarily have um a consistency from. guys. Guys will often be where they're. not supposed to be. And you can't as a. quarterback get to line of scrimmage and. be like, I know it's cover three or I. know it's cover two. You're kind of. looking at it going, I don't know if. this is two or three or is it invert or. there are they is there safety in the. middle field or is he on the backside. hash? And so there it's a very. unorthodox coverage unit. Uh Buddha.

Baker is a safety that. >> um you know I call them liars. They just. do things you're not supposed to do and. so there'll be some good matchups on the. perimeter. Um, but I think the middle of. the field is going to be a huge story. line tonight. Can Arizona confuse Dallas. a little bit with some of their unique. coverages. >> Okay. So, it sounds like you like. Arizona. You said that at the beginning. I'll be excited to watch NFL Live when. you add in some more uh film for your. argument. Let's talk about week nine NFL. slate as a whole. Go ahead, Tone.

>> Yeah, Dan. I believe it was you uh who. came on last week and we were talking. about the Steelers defense and we were. talking about how much they've been. trying to disguise and putting. themselves in bad positions. This week. they trade for Kyle Duggar, so he's new. at safety. Jaylen Ramsey's got to go. back and play safety because of. injuries. They simplified everything. They played fast. What did you see from. them on the tape? >> Yeah, the two things. Number one, the. simplification. Absolutely. They did way. less post snap movement and trying to. over rotate and stuff. And then the.

second thing is attached to that, the. defensive line went at the offense much. more than caught people. I I I talked. about that where defense when it came to. stopping the run, they were just kind of. catching guys and catching guys. This. time you just saw dudes just firing off. the ball. Heismith firing off the ball. Herman firing off the ball. Cam firing. off the ball. I think the most telling. schematic thing is this, Tone. The. number one aggressive offense throwing. the football in early downs this year. has been the Indianapolis Colts. That. they've been by far the team that wanted.

to throw the ball in early downs and. they were really good at it. >> Thank you. See, Pittsburgh was very. smart in regards to they played some. third down coverages on early downs. So, you saw like first and 10 clips where. they would run cover two man. Cover two. manners are traditionally like third and. obvious passing situation. Two safeties. deep, manto man underneath. You got to. get 12 yards to get a first down. Pittsburgh did that on early downs. And. so, it was the awareness of Indie wants. to throw the football. Okay, they want.

to throw the football on early downs. Let's commit to playing coverage on. those downs. Pass rush guys on the. perimeter. Those guys weren't playing. the run there. PJ's not playing the run. there on first and 10. And so I thought. that from Pittsburgh's perspective was. very smart. They were going to say, "Hey, on early downs, we're going to. defend a run. We're going to commit to. playing with coverage and pass rushers. go get the be pass rushers.". >> I appreciate what you're saying that. they it was just great strategy and. scheme and everything like that. And I. don't know if you heard Tone Dig say it, but he said in the middle of your answer.

that Dick Leau probably went down and. put on the headset. Did you see the 2005. team was in the building and did you. immediately, like me, understand that. the Pittsburgh Steelers boys who were. trying to impress the Pittsburgh. Steelers, brand new Pittsburgh Steelers, probably wanted to play a little bit. more Pittsburgh Steelers football cuz. that's what it felt like as I was. watching the game as a Colts fan, thinking to myself, what the hell is. this team doing? This is what the. Steelers are supposed to look like. This. is not what they've been all year. It. was a surprise, Dano, for me. >> Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I agree. From at.

least a defensive perspective, I didn't. know that they were in the building. That's pretty sweet. But, you know, I. think that um. >> some research. >> if this is who they could be. Now, here's the caveat. Like, I want to. applaud them. There's no doubt in tip of. the hat. Played well, but they've got. those two wins this year that are really. only about the takeaways. And so, yes, they're they're awesome. And if you're. going to bank on those, great. But there. still is are you want to see more. consistency with playing dominant brand. of football, a dominant defensive brand. of football? Absolutely. Big- time.

performance. Getting the takeaways is. huge. I'm not concerned if I'm a Colts. fan. I don't love the way my tackles. played. If I'm a Colts fan, I don't love. that. But they're elite rushers that. you're dealing with. Um, you know, one. of the interceptions batted up in the. air. I'm not going to kill the. quarterback over that. The fumble, there's not a ton that he can do about. that. The TJ watch drips out. So, I'm. not overly concerned if I'm the Colts. This was a little bit more of an. aberition for me than oh my gosh, Daniel. Jones reverting back. >> Great word out of you. Honestly, that. was a phenomenal word out of you right. there. Aberition right there. Uh, I'll.

certainly try to use it in a sentence. Tommy Maddox also in the building. His. name was left off the uh list. Yeah, I. mean, mad man. >> Bobby Gun looked good. >> Yeah, he did look pretty good. I mean, all the boys looked good. He included. Jeff Reed skipper in there number three. He's in the middle of all the staff. I. like that. Player staff staff staff. staff staff. Jeff Reed staff staff staff. in there. I I like the way Jeffrey made. a lot of huge kicks in a very very. difficult uh place. A lot of studs on. that team back in the building. Okay, question here before the hard out from. con man about, you know, quarterback.

play right now. >> Yeah, Dan know it feels like last year. we had this conversation like, hey, this. might be the greatest, you know, QB. draft class first round that we've ever. seen. And now, you know, we're 27 games. give or take into some of these careers, some less, some more. Um, do you think. last year the 2024 class between Caleb, you know, Jaden, May, Pennix, McCarthy, and Bo, uh, will go down as one of the. best ever? Because if you're just. looking at the, uh, [clears throat]. excuse me, the AFC right now, it is.

loaded with talent. >> Yeah. I mean, they're obviously going to. have to go win championships. It's very. similar to the what is it, the 18 class. that has like Josh, Lamar, Baker, Sam. They're all in the same class, right? So, >> uh, yeah. Yeah, I mean Caleb was really. impressive impressive yesterday when it. made came to making some broken plays. and then obviously the throw to win the. game was outstanding. Jaden Daniels, it's it's terrible what happened to him. Um because absolutely no need for him to. be in that game and it's really been a.

disaster in Washington all offseason. Um. Drake was Drake doesn't blink. Drake May. just doesn't flinch. He's he's. unflapable with the way that he plays. the game. The same with JJ McCarthy. JJ. wasn't perfect yesterday, but that dude. just does not link in moments. Same with. Bo Knicks. He plays his best football. when it's needed the most. And so, I. think the guy that's still a question. mark out there is probably Michael Penn. And how good can Penn get specifically. versus man coverage. Can they move him a. little bit more? It's too stationary for.

me. Uh, but it's it's a really. impressive class so far. >> Yeah. And I I think we all believe. Caleb's going to be good, >> right? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I I He's still crazy talented. I. would still go back to yesterday. He. made so many plays out of pocket and out. of structure. You're encouraged by that. And then when it was needed, he made a. big time big time throw to win the game. >> Close to Lovelin, too. Can't he's. untackable. >> Yeah, >> they threw all Cincinnati at him. Nobody. could get him down. Can't. >> Cincinnati hasn't tackled in three. years, man.

>> This show will continue digitally. We. can't thank you enough for allowing us. to do this for a living. We'll be back. tomorrow reacting to everything. Be a. friend. Tell a friend something nice. It. might change your life. Goodbye. We're. still live, Dano. We're still live. Okay, last question here. Dano from Ty. Schmidt, Green Bay Packers fan. Who, hey, listen, Carolina Panthers, good. football team. That's a great football. team. I see you shaking your head, Dan. You know, that's a great football team. Uh, but my I'm just curious, why is. Jordan Love the way he is? Cuz like one. week, like last [clears throat] week, Sunday night, he has that game against.

the Steelers and you're thinking, "Okay, this is a guy that can lead this team to. a Super Bowl without a doubt." And then. I mean, just not great yesterday, obviously. Uh, I think a lot of people. think Matt Laflur has something to do. with that. You know, third and 11. calling bubble screens every single time. or throwing it, you know, 85 yards down. the field. Doesn't really have a play in. between those two. But, and then they. lose Tuck Tucker Craft for the rest of. the year, too, who has been their really. only reliable playmaker week in and week. out, I guess. How concerned should I be.

about the Packers moving forward? [snorts]. >> Yeah, I'm concerned. Three reasons why. Yesterday, such an immature performance. Let's just call it what it is. It's. immature. Number one, if you guys have. the clip, show the very first snap of. the game for the Packers offense. Okay, very first snap of the game, he's gonna. have a tight end. You're calling the. play to see if you can get the tight end. crossing the field from his left to. right. There's a little ball fake. The. tight end's wide open. At worst, it's. going to be a 40-yard gain. Jordan makes.

the play fake, moves out of the pocket. unnecessarily. He's looking completely. opposite side of the field. And my note. is, where are your eyes? And I know I. don't know everything that's going on in. the room, but I know how that offense is. taught. And you're taught, dude, if you. get a backside tight end with a little. bit of a attention route and you get a. crosser and the backside of the defense. is a little bit low, peak it. Just peek. to see if they stay low cuz then you. could throw it. So right there, I'm. like, Jordan, where are your eyes? Okay, that's number one. The inconsistency of. his eyes yesterday were concerning. The.

inconsistency of the decision-making, he. has two balls that he just are are epit. balls. I'm launching it deep. Why? Why? But why why are we It's first and 10. Look at his mechanics. This is This is. Jordan. He's too good of a player to do. this stuff. It's first and 10. It's. almost like he dropped back. They came. from the sidelines and he was like, "Hey, I call this. You throw it." Okay. So, that's my concern is like that's. he's too good of a player to to do to. play the way he did yesterday decision-m.

wise. I think the second thing is this. I love Matt Laflur. Okay. I feel like. we're trending towards a direction where. we're too dependent on creativity. Like. we we'll out scheme or out create things. for people. Sometimes it is about just. going and calling basic plays and out. executing people or out physicing. people. And there's so much of this like. look how cool this design is. And I love. Matt. He's outstanding. He's an.

unbelievable coach. But sometimes I'm. like, we can just line up and run normal. plays occasionally instead of and I I. feel like they're too dependent on that. And then I think the third thing is. this, and I've been saying this all. year, Ty, this team cannot go to the. Super Bowl with this offensive line play. right now. >> Yes. >> This they can't they're they're they are. getting physically beat one-on-one far. too often. And I don't know if the. quarterback play and decision-m is a. little bit attached to that cuz that. usually is the case. But this offensive. line has been suspect all year and.

they've skated by with it. They're. unless it gets better, they're they're. not going to go be who they should be. from a a team goal perspective. >> Never mind the Super Bowl. They might. not make the playoffs, I think. >> Oh, Tai, it's every action Monday. >> No, the the problem, like Dan said, the. floor doesn't have these [ __ ] guys. ready to play any week ever. They play. like [ __ ] in the first half every single. week, no matter what. At least the. offense does. And then it takes a. miraculous like look at the Steelers. game. They scored three touchdowns in. the fourth quarter. Like they just it's.

so laxidasical. I think they just think, "Hey, we're so talented. We can out. scheme anybody." They're never ready to. play ever. It's crazy. >> All right. Good luck on good football. team. >> Carolina is a good football team. Yeah. >> All right. Last thing before we let you. go. It's almost like you're a a super. genius. It's almost like you're a super. genius. Stafford will be in MVP talks by. Thanksgiving. Okay. I like that. We like. Matthew Stafford. We just talked to his. high school best friend Clayton Kershaw. just won World Series in his retirement.

year. Matthew Stafford drafted same year. as I. He's an old ass man right now. doing what he's doing. He's special. The. Devonte Adams relationship. Crazy. Puka. back. Crazy. Everything. >> Did you see the no looker to Devonte. yesterday? >> Oh yeah. To the right like that. And. then the social media camera somehow has. perfectly in line with where he's. throwing it. So you see the perfection. of his head looking this way, drawing. the linebacker that way. He's special. The guy's insane. But what the the issue. with your tweet is he's currently fourth.

in like R uh R uh current odds and he. was last week too. I think the week. before that. So you're like by. Thanksgiving it's like yeah brother. Thanksgiving's come early. He's [ __ ]. in it right now. How crazy is that as. you look at this 2025 season that. Matthew Stafford is playing the way he. is? And what are your thoughts on all of. the odds here? Drake May sitting in. number two for the MVP odds. Go ahead. and take a kind of a gander at the whole. thing. Yeah, I have no idea about odds. So, I had no idea where Matthew ranked. So, that's my being completely honest as.

always. >> Okay. Hey, hey, hold on, hold on. So, shortest odds here, plus 175 odds on. favorite whenever people say that. So, that's Josh Allen plus 175. That's most. likely. So, if you were to put a 100. bucks on that, you'd only win 175. So, it's not a lot of money because they're. predicting that this is the most likely. outcome. Jared Goff down to bottom plus. 2500. You bet a hundred bucks, you win. >> $2500. >> $2,500 there. So they're thinking it's a. little longer odds. This is a little bit. of a longer take if that makes sense. So.

plus 175 smaller obviously than plus. 2500. Smaller the odds, the more likely. the outcome from the sports book's eyes. >> Yeah. So I think that Drake May I would. still have as my number one MVP right. now. I was getting into this all I was. getting into this and I'm not saying. this it comes across disrespectfully. I'm not saying this uh in this regard, but all even this morning, Cowboys fans. were yelling at me about it and this and. that. I said, "Name me the starting wide. outs for New England and they were like, "Oh, good point." And that's dude, Steph.

is playing really good and Booty has. been outstanding and Pop Douglas, but if. we're just looking at that list that you. just had, I mean, Drake May again was. absolutely fantastic yesterday outside. of that ball, you know, he he sails that. ball to Jesse Bates for the. interception. But if we're just looking. at quarterback play right now, guys that. are playing really good, that that's a. beautiful throw. That's a beautiful. throw. >> He did drop a ball. >> If we're looking Yeah. If we're looking. at like quarterback play, quarterbacks. that are playing really good, right? Like if you look at Josh Allen, I would.

not have Josh at one. Josh was really. good yesterday, but I just That was the. best game he's played all season. But. like Matthews got two outstanding. receivers. Baker's got like four. outstanding receivers. They're all. playing great, but Drake May is playing. as good as he's do playing with a a. receiving core that's not nearly as. talented as a lot of the other. quarterbacks playing at eye level. Matthew Stafford though, what he's what. he's doing right now is absolutely. fantastic. I remember the off season. people were saying the Rams should trade. him and start a new. What a crazy thing.

to say. Oh my gosh, we should cons be. concerned about the back. What a crazy. thing to say. Um I think this is clearly. one of the best teams in football. Uh, it's one of the best pass games in. football. I think the thing that stands. out to me, and obviously I have a little. bit of a a past with him. I have such a. great appreciation for Matthew because. when I was with Matthew 10, 12 years. ago, he was still such a talented. thrower of the football, but. mechanically a little bit inconsistent.

He has worked so hard to become. repetitive and repetitive and. repetitive. And so he's merged this like. really natural talent throwing a. football with this maniacal obsession. with being mechanically sound. Their. pass game is so on rhythm and so on. point. The timing of his throws, these. balls are out of his hands so quickly. and they're to the perfect placement. wise. And so you got those two receivers. out there with their tight ends. I think. that's one of the reasons why they're. such a dangerous playaction passing.

offense because Matthew is just so. consistent with his mechanics nowadays, man. >> BA BA said joy to watch. >> Hey, BA said that he was the only. quarterback that he would go out and. watch warm up. He's like, I I want to go. watch Matthew Staffer warm up. And when. he played against the Colts, >> it it's a show in of itself whenever. he's throwing a ball cuz he'll feather. one over a guy's hand and this guy will. be full jump. >> This is no look. Yeah, that's fudging. gross, dude. >> Fudging roast, dude. Fudging,

>> dude. That ball's. 30 yards downfield over two or three. Look at this guy. Like, [laughter]. >> yeah, he's damn near 42. And remember. the offseason he had a back or a super. dupe or something. This is the clone of. Matthew Stafford. Remember, this is a. clone of him. Devonte Adams touchdown. distances. They're setting him up like. Gronk right now. >> Basically, because Dvont is the two, right? Puka is the one. You're able to. get single coverage on Devonte down in. the red zone. So, they just have him go. and do a two-way go. I assume this is. just two-way go. Whatever you want to.

do, just beat the guy off the line and. Stafford's going to find you. >> Yeah. I mean, there's often hand signals. or whatnot. You know, we used to do this. with Reggie when we were together. And. you would tell the receiver like, "Hey, you tell me what you're going to run.". And the receiver would get out there, read leverage. Does he like the corner. inside? Does he like him outside? He'd. be peeking a safety. Does he think he's. going to get help or not? and whatever. it is, you know, hey, if if I put my. right hand to adjust my helmet, my left. hand to adjust my helmet, what where do. I grab my hamstring? Do I touch my. waist? You'd figure it out week by week.

what the signal was. But often it's the. receiver telling the quarterback what. he's going to run. >> Yeah. And having Devonte, who's one of. the best get offs, right, in uh in all. the football, having him be that guy is. insane, especially because they got to. respect everything else going on in the. offense. So, literally, you can get a. man coverage out there just like they. were able to do with Gronk. They were. able to do that. And if they take. somebody out to go double team them, it's like now you open up everything. else. It's uh. >> Yeah, >> it's a [ __ ] hell. >> Their play action game is so deadly, man. Their play action game, it's that's. the thing that is making this offense in.

LA. I mean, it starts with Matthew and. Shawn, no doubt. But their commitment to. play under center, play action centric. They're committing to protection. They're giving multiple options. downfield. The quarterback's got the. ability to push the ball downfield in. the windows and be crazy accurate and on. time. That's they're creating. explosives. No quarterback's got more. explosive pass plays in the NFL than. Matthew at 40 years old. Uh and it's. because of the scheme that they're. deploying. And those two receivers and. Devonte and him have really gotten on. the same page. They weren't necessarily.

a couple weeks ago. They are now. >> Fun to watch as are you. We'll see you. at NFL Live. Thank you for joining us. from Jerry World. Great performance down. there uh in front of the crowd this. morning with First Take. Yeah, it was cool, man. Those Cowboys. fans are out of their minds in a good. way. Irvin, Michael Irvin is absolutely. off the charts. I have no idea how he. does it, but it was fun. It was cool. I. was thankful to be a part. >> Yeah, it was a cool show. We enjoyed. watching it. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan. Oloski. >> All right, let's get to a break on the. other side. I'll make my pick. We'll. make our picks. Uh,

>> and then we got overreactions. >> Oh, yeah. >> I can't wait. >> Yeah, a lot of people pissed off today. >> Yeah. Hey, get it out. >> Yeah, exactly. It's good for the soul. Get that thing out, you know. >> Let it be a therapeutic process. >> Exactly. >> And then let us read them with. enjoyment. >> Yes. >> Laugh. >> That's # I don't want to overreact. But. pick on the other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice might. change our life. >> Jack, you got anything to say to the.

team here? >> Oh man, you guys keep crushing and. firing everybody up. It's bigger than. you guys. And this you guys are the. freaking best. >> Boom. >> Thank you. >> That's amazing. >> Yes. God damn it. I need that one. [music]. >> I got back in shape. Best shape of my. life. I felt like I just throw people. through walls. >> Oh [ __ ] What's happening? [music].

Indianapolis. >> [music]. >> They have messaged to officials they are. coming to take over the world. >> Government agencies have been alerted. that they [music] plan to land and. activate Earth's Armageddon switch. >> This is literally the scariest [music]. situation imaginable. A true doomsday. scenario. Please stay calm, seek shelter. immediately, and pray to whatever god or. higher power you believe in.

>> Was that what landed here? >> I think Indianapolis. What? So that. can't be. >> We got to go find these [ __ ]. You know, >> that's what we need to do. >> I think that sounds like something you. should jack car. >> I don't know. We need to. >> Let's go. Come on. Let's go. >> All right. Let's go. Yeah.

Look at the size. He's looking at you, Jack. He's coming at you, Jack. He's. coming at us. Get his big ass back. Boom. [screaming] Boom. This guy's. trying to take down our planet. Go the.

Good thing we saw that. newscast when we did. >> Well, that's the [music] that's why they. did the live alert. >> I don't know. Did we know that that's. still. >> I feel like that should have been. disclosed when we bought this place. >> The legit. >> Let's go and talk to the boys. >> Amazing. Let's do it. >> What a life you live, >> man. I'm just glad [music] you had this. rifle and I had those binos. What are. the odds of that? I mean, I could see. them. Good thing I carry those with me.

everywhere I go. >> The big one at [music] the end really. ate some [ __ ] pain. >> Yeah. I feel like he stopped somewhere. on the way in. I snacked. >> Yes, he did. Yes, he did. >> Are we Are we good? >> What do you think, boys? [ __ ] Jack. Cars here. [music]. >> [music].

>> If that's not enough reason to buy his. new book, I don't know what is. [ __ ]. just saved the earth and nobody would. have known about it if it didn't just so. happen to happen right here with all. these cameras. >> Thank you, Jack Carr. Thank you, Jack. [music] Carr. >> Thank you, Jack. >> Thank you, Jack. >> Thanks, guys. Right. >> Thank you guys. >> Three-time [music] world saver Jack Carr. has done it again. We're all mind blown. that a global attack always seemingly.

happens when [music] Jack Carr comes to. the Thunderdome, but boy, we're thankful. he's always there to save us all. On. that note, Jack Carr's new book, Fry. Havoc, is available now. It's a Vietnam. era thriller in [music] the eighth. installment of the multiple time New. York Times bestselling series, Terminal. List. Hell yeah, Jack Carr. Hell yeah. >> But it is great to be down here in Ton, Alabama. Now, let's do a little history.

here, shall we? This is uh what's your. name? >> Gabby. >> Gabby, you're a senior here, right? >> That's correct. >> And what is your major? >> Chemical engineering. >> Okay. Okay. Uh have you ever kicked anything. before? >> No. >> Okay. But you said you want to do it, not get somebody else because. >> because I camped out for so many hours. with my friend and I got lucky enough to. get picked. So, let's go for it. >> Yes.

>> Yes. >> All right. [cheering]. >> We love that. $300,000 if you make this. kick right here, Gabby. Okay. >> Oh my gosh. >> That seems fair. >> I don't know what a chemical engineering. degree costs, but hopefully that'll help. towards it all. >> My parents would love that. >> I'll throw in 200 as well. He started to. $500,000. [screaming]. >> All right, Gabby. >> Okay, >> good luck. We're pulling for you. 33. yards. All you got to do is make the. kick. Good luck, Gabby. >> Okay.

>> Any final thoughts? >> I love you, mom and dad and [laughter]. brother. >> Love that. Mom and dad, hope you have a. good time. Ladies and gentlemen, Gabby. Matthysse, chemical engineer, senior. here at Alabama, will attempt to win. 500,000. It's come to this, huh? It's come to. this. >> It's come to this. >> Yeah, this Why'd you smack me in the. face? Kirk just smacked me in the face. How about this? How about this, Gabby?

If Kirk Herbstreet can throw that. football through those uprights right. there, we'll give you $300,000. >> Are you okay with that? >> 300,000. If Kirk Kre can throw it. through those uprights, former Ohio. State quarterback, >> no warm up. Full suit for Deb. [cheering and screaming].

Get it. Get it. Get it. >> Congratulations. [laughter]. >> All right. It's getting even more pricey. Kirk Herb. Street, I did not know you had that in. you. You son of a [ __ ]. [laughter]. >> Oh, that's great. Kevin, David, it's for you, your mom,

your brother, the whole family. Congratulations. And Kirk, [cheering]. >> good on you, man. It was close. Back to. you, loose. Jeez. Way to go, Gabby. >> Hey, what a moment. You know, I love the. fact that Gabby wanted. >> Hey, >> let's go. This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful. >> McAfee off the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You.

[screaming]. >> stop. Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble [music] boat the. Thunderdome on this massive overreaction. Monday November 3rd 2025 hour three of. the program begins now. football. is awesome we're incredibly lucky that.

we get a chance to chat about every. single day I'll tell you what AJ's in. New Jersey right now we send our. positive vibes and love to everybody. Darius Butler obviously nine-year NFL. vet and host of everything DB Good D, bad D. He's at a high school state uh. golf tournament right now cuz there are. some butlers representing and his. daughter is dominating. So, he's being. great dad. And also, we're losing uh. just guys left and right. It seems like. the toxic table at Boston Corner and. Empty Chair. [laughter] Ladies and. gentlemen, hailing from Iowa,

standing at [cheering] 5' 10 1/2 in, >> a former Big 10 angler, >> Ty [screaming]. Schmidt. >> Baby, [gasps] that baby Ty. I'll tell you. what, that was not planned. Uh, I guess. Tai had quite a break there with a. toilet. Sounds like you went really. round for round. That was a good eight, nine, 10 minutes in there. weren't able. to make it back. Did not know when you. were going to get back, so we decided to. start the show. Uh what a perfect timing.

of the end of the dump there. We. appreciate you making it back. How was. it in there? 15 round fight in there. >> Uh it was pretty that was a fast just. fast explosive kind of like a first. round knockout, but it it took. [laughter] all three minutes. So if uh. you know the thing that you know you. were kind of dealing with, I don't know. if you have any remedies left, but I. might be coming to you post show to see. if we can. >> No, that is not a fun time. [clears throat]. >> No, it's not. And it's I'm it's burning. right now. So. >> yeah, and getting to that point is not. so right. The process of getting there. is not good. Being there is not good.

And then coming out of the other side of. it is pretty relieving, but it's very. scary as well. Everything has kind of. taken place. So we wish you luck in. there, sir. >> I appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you. >> Good time to take a break, I guess, after that uh second hour there. It. sound like that was maybe a code red as. we were getting up and leaving. You. know, I thought I was going to be okay. and then Dano just kept gushing about. Matt Stafford and it kind of hit me and. I said, "Oh boy, I don't know how long. he's going to go here. He's got a lot of. good things to say about him. I need to. just. >> Well, he even said it goes back from. Matthew. Obviously, we have history. You.

thought he was maybe. >> I thought maybe he's going to go year. one, year two, year three, year four. So, I I had no idea, but luckily, you. know, luckily I I was I was able to make. it just in the nick of time. >> Yeah. I'm happy he didn't go for you for. the sake of everything you got going on. over the khaki colored pants. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. >> Good. Good seats. I think we're happy. with the seats, right? Those would have. been ruined. Would have had to change. that. >> Certainly. >> If anything, he kind of sneaks onto the. floor. That's a whole entire process of. it. >> Shoes into the shoes socks because there. is a lot to say about Stafford. He's uh. fourth in odds uh to win the MVP. Let's.

go to one half of the hammer Cowboys AP. tone. Where are we at for the betting. numbers for tonight right before I make. my pick? A uh I wonder at least should. text AJ get what his pick is. I wonder. if he's near his phone right now. But as. I do that, can we get some numbers here. for me to think about? As you know, I. try to extend my lead over AJ. Holy. hell, this is good. I. >> neither of us great. Me a little bit. better. Love it. So, it doesn't matter. what he picks. We would uh we would end. up with me getting a win over him, but. not a win over the book. What are the.

numbers saying about tonight's game? >> So, tonight uh three and a half. The. Cowboys are favorites at home. There is. still one three out there. So, if you. are interested in taking the Dallas. Cowboys, there is still a three out. there, but they are disappearing. Those. threes are disappearing and going up to. three and a half because 75%. of the public is on the Dallas Cowboys. They like the Dallas Cowboys tonight. They know that they can play at home. They know the offense. You look at the. Cardinals record what it is and they. just see a shitty team when really. they've lost every single game by one.

score or less. Um, but that's where the. numbers are at tonight. >> And what is the uh record right now for. public money? Uh, so for this week it. was five and six for teams. >> So still not winning, >> but not losing as bad. >> Correct. I don't think there's been a. winning week yet, if I remember. correctly. I think five and six this. week, five and six last week for teams. that are getting 60% or more of the. bets. So it's it's getting better, but. we're not there yet. >> Okay. >> They always [ __ ] win.

>> They do. They always win, don't they? >> A little bit too much, I'd say. >> Uhoh. People are starting to look into. that. >> They are. >> Cuz every time I make a a pick, I think. it's right. Something has to go wrong. Yeah, of course it does. What if they're. working against you this whole time? >> 75%'s a lot of people. >> It's a lot of people. >> Ton, especially Cowboys fans. >> I'm going for the Cardinals. >> Okay. >> Plus three and a half. >> I like they're they're a good football. team. >> I saw them real life. Very tough. football team, too. There's a lot of. injuries. They had a lot of injuries.

whenever they played us and they. continue to fight. >> Just good at losing in the end. and. maybe an Aubrey 70 yarder, you know, reset the record to win by one. Oh, that'd be sick if we get a new record. here just one day later. Cam Little out. of Arkansas for the Jacksonville Jaguars. in Las Vegas. Some would say perfect. place to hit it because of the altitude. and the air and everything. All Cam. Little says is, "Who cares?" How much. time's left? One second. Let me go ahead. and bomb one from the other side of the. field real quick. Hey, which upright are. you kicking at? That one? No, that one.

The one that's further away. NFL record. for Cam Little who hit a 70 yarder. obviously this preseason and uh the game. has changed with these dudes. These. dudes bomb balls. Cam Little. Okay, obviously last name being Little, but I. don't think he's like necessarily. biggest or tallest kicker that's out. there either. I am very fascinated by. how strong this guy's leg is. His leg. speed has to be so insane that he's able. to make up for the pure force of the. bigger lat. You know, you think about uh. designated hitters or any good hitters.

That's like kind of generates stuff. Usually bigger bodies, stronger bodies. Think about golf who's driving the [ __ ]. out of the ball, you know, a little bit. bigger bodies. Bryson Dshambo was eating. uh eight protein shakes a day so he. could get bigger and stronger so that he. could hit the ball further. Like. everything that's explosive normally. with a lot of mass and explosion. Cam. Little, not like a massive dude, bombs. the ball. and the fact that he can bring. in his own game ball uh from practice. that's beat up a little bit. Special. talent and I'm so pumped for Liam Co.

Liam Cohen said it was like we won a. Super Bowl in that moment. Like. everybody was very happy. Everybody knew. what was at stake. Everybody knew what. happened. And then oh yeah, they'd also. go on to win this game in overtime. because the Raiders would say, you know. what, for the good of football, we won't. kick the extra point and tie this with. 18 seconds in overtime. So it was a. spectacular game. Cam Little's kick was. awesome. And uh yeah, maybe Aubrey. answers tonight with a 69 yard and they. just got to start crawling up the board. >> He's listed at 611 172. So he's a wiry. fella.

>> Very just like uh Harrison Bucker. We. will be chitchatting with uh Cam Little. tomorrow morning. Okay. >> Uh we will air uh tomorrow on the show. Obviously that man is uh very good at. his job. >> So is Boss. >> right down the middle every time. >> He's so good. >> Set your watch to it. He wanted an extra 25,000 bucks before. the season. You guys said nope, can't do. pants. >> That's That's not true. >> I mean, the notion is.

>> right. >> I did I believe he did was looking for a. bit of a bump, but he'll get it. >> Yeah, you guys say you're going to have. to go prove it. Boss say you all I do is. make kicks and he literally that's all. he does. >> The only one he's missed this year, sorry, he's missed two. One was blocked. and then the second one his his uh foot. went to the center of the earth. >> Oh yeah, because Acer. >> Yeah. Which once again, I don't love you. guys did that to Jonathan Taylor. People. paying good money to watch him play. football. >> That's homefield advantage. >> And boy, were the iners out. Got a lot. of messages. A lot of messages. >> I saw one of those.

>> Yeah. Somebody sent me a video. [laughter]. >> And there's a lot going on. There's a. lot going on yesterday. Anytime, you. know, you play against Pittsburgh or the. University of Pittsburgh, there's going. to be a lot of chatter from a lot. Pittsburgh is a chatter town. Okay. A. lot of chatter town. I do respect and. appreciate the McAfee jerseys that were. roaming around Pittsburgh because I I. would like to think that at this stage. people who are Steelers fans will also. say, "Okay, might actually be a. conversation starter back in Pittsburgh, which is a hell of an honor as a kid. who's very proud to be a Yinser still to.

this day." On that note, need the Colts. to win one of these [ __ ] games get. stopped. [laughter]. >> Okay. I I'm unneeded. I'm going to need. it personally for my life on a. day-to-day basis because when I'm. playing in that game, not good. Okay. We. lose by a lot. I have one of the biggest. games of my life. [ __ ] completion. Go. ahead and do a little this. Do my big. dick dance. >> Keep it moving. >> We lose by 20. Can't even can't even. really celebrate it. And that's when I. knew I just had the best game I've ever.

had and we lost by a bunch. Maybe I have. no control over anything that's kind. [laughter] of happening out here. This. is not fun. Standing on the sidelines. doing it. But the Pittsburgh Steelers. need to lose to the Colts at some point. for the good of my life. And I have not. given up hope on this Indianapolis Colts. team. I was even watching that game. saying to myself, "Tomorrow I'm not. going to be ridiculous. I'm not going to. be dramatic. I'm not going to do it. I'm. not going to give up hope completely. That would be stupid. They're seven and. two right now." Seven and two. They lead. the [ __ ] AFC still. This team has a. chance to be great. But boy, what the. [ __ ] happened against that Steelers.

defense? Then you automatically go in. the conversation where the Steelers like. very, very good. Because if you lose to. a good team, I think it's much easier. pill to swallow. You lose to a bad team, which a lot of people think the Panthers. are a bad team, which is why Packers are. doing that. But we must remind people. the two losses the Packers, you know, the Packers have lost to the Panthers. and the Browns and then they tied the. Cowboys. good football teams there. Good football. teams, they can get you. You know, >> those are some good football teams. >> The Steelers are really great football.

team is my take away from yesterday. And. if they continue to play that way, AFC. North is theirs. Okay, let's go to some. overreactions, shall we? It is uh. it is a great honor to be able to read. these each week. You know, kind of. giving a voice to the words that are. thought in the minds of NFL fans all. around the league. I sent out a bird. call. I say, "Hey, listen. Go ahead and. uh let me hear it. You know, how you. guys feeling about the state of your. team? Is everything going great? Is. everything going ass? Everything in.

between?" I can't wait to hear it just. so we can go boots on the ground in. these fan bases a little bit and you. will not be judged for it. No, no, you'll actually be celebrated. The best. posts on X. It became a number one trend. in the United States. We appreciate. everybody participating. The best ones. in Tai Schmidt's eyes will make the. show. All you have to put in the post is. >> # I don't want to overreact. >> Let's get to it. This one is from an AP. Tone Digs. # I don't want to overreact. The 2005 Steelers will now be.

responsible for two Super Bowls, 2005. and boom, 2025. >> They came in and reminded the boys what. it means to wear a black and gold. Everything has changed. Couldn't be more. back. Uh obviously on the hunt for seven. and you love. >> the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seven does. the hand gesture of love. Yeah. Whenever. he got clapped and I like that he had to. give way to Bus. >> Okay, they did. bus was the final. because on that particular team that. team was on a run for Jerome Bettis.

What would happen after that particular. run is Ben Rother uh Burger would go on. to be the longest tenur Pittsburgh. Steeler of all time. So anytime there's. an introduction type thing, Ben should. be the last this guy is the longest. tenur and is one and still lives there. So you know so him having to give way to. Jerome Bettis I thought was very cool. I. thought that was a very cool thing uh. just because of the respect that. everybody had for him. But you're right, that 2005 team, I think potentially. sparked a little bit more interest in. performing well from people on the.

current uh Pittsburgh Steeler team. >> Yeah, I think it did, too. And uh Joey. Porter Jr. talked about it after the. game how his dad was saying like, "Hey, all my boys are going to be here this. weekend. You better not embarrass me. You better make a play." And he did to. to end it. Um and I like you, I decided. that moving forward. I'm not going to. live and die with every single week. Okay? Teams are good, teams are bad. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. This team is going to be a good team. They're going to be in there there in. the end and that's how I'm going to be. the rest of the season. Okay. I'm not. going to overreact. >> Well, we're winning the Super Bowl.

>> Okay. All right. Okay. I didn't know I I. didn't know where you're headed there at. the end. I didn't know if you're. thinking, "Uh, that's one good week. I. need to see it again." Or if you're. going the complete opposite direction, which is. >> we're going to win the Super Bowl. >> I love that. That was the way you chose. That's what Mondays are supposed to be. like after a win. >> Exactly. Especially cuz the last two. weeks have been so miserable and you try. to come in, you try to put on a smile. and you don't let people know that it's. eating you inside. But now you don't. have to do that this week. It's so nice. >> Yeah. But now we know in future weeks.

>> Yeah. Oh man, this guy's going through. it. [laughter]. >> H. All right, let's go to the next one, shall we? Congrats to you guys. Here's. from Boston Connor. # I don't want to. overreact. But this guy is the. difference. Can't believe he is the. Patriots head coach/supreme leader. Shout out to the crafts for cutting bait. with Mayo after one year because Vrabel. was available. They're seven and two. Con man Vrabel culture shift completely. felt you feel like uh not only with the. Patriots but the entire region maybe. >> Yeah, without a doubt. And it's just.

like his attitude on the sideline which. is so great because it is still a young. team. So a lot of times mistakes will. happen throughout the game and you know. they'll come over and Vel's basically. saying like hey come on light lighten up. a little and it's as small as you know. the Patriots not finishing in the red. zone and just kicking a field goal. instead of scoring a touchdown and Vable. still hyping the boys up. Him. celebrating that photo was from him. celebrating with uh with Stefon Diggs. after his second touchdown. But yeah the. guy that they that uh Drake May just. threw it to Pop Douglas his you know his. uncle passes away on Saturday night. he.

goes out there, still plays his ass off. on Sunday. I believe there's a similar. situation with the Chargers player as. well. And it feels like those type types. of places, players wanting to be there. and perform whether you know without no. matter what's going on around them. Um, I feel like that's a good reflection of, you know, the leaders inside of those. organizations and, you know, Vel and. Harbaugh and those two examples. But. just having one of those week two, uh, and everyone on the team has confidence. This juke move was ridiculous as well. Cardi B was in the building getting.

crazy with Bob Craft up there. >> Yeah, I saw that and I saw some uh. videos from previous Super Bowl parties. with Cardi B and Craft in the past. I. guess they've been they've been friends. a long time. You know, Craft and Cardi B. obviously friends for a long time. Her. getting up hyping up the crowd. Stefan. Diggs is a New England Patriot and. nobody really even talks about it. Just. kind of like, hey, goes about his work. He does his thing. He's been great for. that team. I assume Frabel's very happy. that he is there. And I saw Cardi B and. Stefan Diggs do an interview. Cardi B. did an interview. Stfan Diggs was there.

>> Hey, >> they are big time. >> Hey, it really does. Like, you know, everybody talks about these celebrity. relationships. It's like uh everybody. judges it. They look incredibly happy. >> They do. Yeah. Yeah. We love around. here. They look incredibly happy. not. easy for humans at certain levels of. life, especially with everything they've. been through, to find people that they. can kind of trust or relate and. everything like that. Which is why we're. so happy for uh Travis and Taylor. Like. so happy for them. Like, hey, that's not.

easy to find anybody that you can kind. of jive with and get along with and. understand and speak the same, you know, language and everything, especially with. life experiences that have taken place. So, good for them. Nobody really talks. about it. Nobody really talks about it. Nobody talks about him being up in New. England even though he's a superstar and. will probably make a massive play at. some point where a game has to happen. Stefan Diggs will do something crazy. Remember, he is responsible for the. Minneapolis miracle at the that shut. down the entire internet as soon as it. happens. It feels like everything kind. of under the radar up there in New. England and uh whenever these prime time.

games at the end of the season start. happening, which I assume will take. place, everybody's going to be like, "Wow, wow, I didn't know." It's like, "Yes, this team has been like this." And. you kind of expected it as soon as. Vrabel was the projected head coach. It. definitely um wasn't even to this level. Like I I was trying to kind of talk. myself into nine wins. I I might have. said multiple times they're going to win. 12 games. Did I mean that? No. I would. not say that. But now it's hard it's. hard not to argue that. But Cardi B, I. think that was the first game she's been. at. She is about to give birth to um.

Stefon Diggs and her baby. So I assume. she's there for that in in the coming. weeks. And then yeah, with with Vrael, I. mean, it's it kind of goes back to. everything that Bob Craft and the Craft. family have done after Bellich. Now. they're kind of they they aren't, but. they could kind of take a victory lap. But I'm glad they're not. And I'm glad. we're just focused on Frabel and the. team. >> Well, they bring Kenny Chzn. Come on. >> That's not a bad idea. >> Uhhuh. >> That's not a bad idea. >> But they had [laughter] a hell of a. night Saturday. >> Yeah. Can't we all get along?

Got [singing] a long long way to go. Scared of scared. We ain't perfect, but [singing] we try. Buy a boat, drink a beer, sing a song. Can't we all get along? We nailed it. >> Yeah, >> we got there. We landed the plane.

>> Yeah. >> And it was an it was one of those water. boats because we're landing in Yeah, that's what we did right there. Man, we. shut off the engine. We're kind of. cruising. >> We're on a good. >> And now we're about to take back off. Next overreaction, shall we? This one. comes from Tom's petty. Okay, this guy's. petty fell. I respect that. Tommy. Hornbuckle. # I don't want to overreact, but the Buffalo Bills are back. Patriots. better win every game until total. rematch because we are on your ass. We're not going to run the table. We're.

going to light it on fire and elbow drop. that [ __ ] You know, and that is. a thing that they do up there. They do. elbow drop tables on a regular basis. They've already had their buy. They're. sitting at 6 and2. New England Patriots. are at 7-2. New England Patriots because. they have one more win than the Buffalo. Bills are obviously the top of the AFC. East. It's great to be back in that. position if you ask the New England. Patriots fan that didn't expect this. But if you're the Buffalo Bills fans, you should be feeling this way. This. team is remarkable. And they did. something that I don't think we've seen. them do in a long time. They beat up the.

other team. That isn't really what you. think whenever you think of the Buffalo. Bills automatically. And I think they're. trying to change that. >> Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, everyone talks about like, oh, you know, hey, here we go. You know, the the. regular season champs once again, but. it's like this is a massive win for the. Bills moving forward. The Chiefs, every, you know, you look at power rankings and. like that stuff doesn't really mean. [ __ ] But a lot of people are saying. like, okay, the Chiefs are back. This is. the best team in the NFL again. They're. hitting their stride. And then like you. said, for Buffalo to do it the way they. did where they just accosted Mahomes all. day, hit the [ __ ] out of him. If you're.

a Bills fan, you got to be very excited. because you know what you have with Josh. Allen and the whole point, you know, the. whole the early part of the season here, you're kind of just hoping like, hey, the defense just needs to, you know, keep coming along bit by bit a little. bit. And for them to do, you know, that. to the Chiefs and them to win that game, that's massive, you know, as we get into. November and the the most important. football. Now, >> I believe Jordan Puyer will be joining. us tomorrow. Uh, safety. Obviously, he's. part of that defense that just did what. they did to the Kansas State Chiefs.

Can't wait to catch up with him. Let's. go to the next overreaction. This one's. from the NFC North. Uh-oh. From Nathan. Tons. # I don't want to overreact, but. JJ McCarthy is going to run the North. for the next 20 years. KOC got his guy. and now it's over for everyone. All JJ. has ever done is win games. And with. this Vikings team getting healthy, there. isn't a thing anyone can do to stop it. See you in February. Bad boys for life. JJ and KOC. Ty, you picked this one. Tone. Do you think this is an accurate. prediction about JJ and KOC's run.

together? Maybe not this season, but the. next 10 years. JJ McCarthy, KOC. What. have we said about KC? He can drop an. offense for anybody. JJ McCarthy's got. this uh oozing of machismo at all. moments and a leadership ability and a. work ethic that I think will make him. the best possible version of himself. We've seen him make some incredible. throws, we've seen him miss a little. bit. Uh JJ and KOC for the next 10 years. is fun to think about. >> I'm glad you asked me about, you know,

not just this year and beyond because he. was uh 14 of 25 for 143 yards, two. touchdowns, and an interception. and his. uh numbers were the exact same I believe. in that comeback win earlier this season. as well. So the numbers have not been. great. It hasn't always looked pretty. So if I was someone else in AFC North. right now, would I be super nervous? No. But like you said, they can get better. in the future, but as of right now, like. I don't even know. I don't understand. looking at those numbers and looking at. the numbers from the whole game how they. scored 27 points.

>> Yeah, the 27 points is certainly. fascinating. And uh block kick I do. believe with a scoop, a long run, a. turnover, I believe there was one. Monty. fumbled I think and then they were able. to get good field position and so you. didn't have to gain that many yards you. know because you start looking around. there isn't a lot of numbers for that. entire. >> played pretty well I don't know if you. saw you see who was back. >> who. >> ass and cheeks. >> easy okay. >> hold on I'll I'll tell you I'll tell you. Gibbs had 25 yards and Montgomery he had.

40 so that's ass and cheeks is. >> no who said it did did Foxy say that. >> I did not say That the internet may be. saying that. I did not say that. >> Oh, no. The internet's this Jir Gibbs. was an MVP conversation a week ago. Monty just scored a tide. What? I mean, what do we. >> Yeah, listen. I don't like it one bit. JJ McCarthy is getting a lot of credit. He played fine. Okay, he didn't do a. lot, but he won the game. But let me say. this, the Vikings defense, if if they. were ever gone, they're all the way. back. That Vikings defense was. incredible. The game plan was. incredible. The coaching was incredible.

What they did to the Lions, stopped the. run and then they pressured Goff and it. was over. He was never comfortable the. entire game. That defense was. outstanding. And then JJ made the plays. that had to be made. >> Yeah, he did. And that's what he does. I. think that's the cut of his jib. And. that's why he wears his sweet pant. And. I did see him meditating on the field. again. >> Don't get bullied into not doing your. [ __ ] JJ. You do whatever the [ __ ] you. want to do, JJ, to be good. You, it's. your show, brother. We're literally here. to watch you. That whole stadium is. there to watch you do your thing, JJ. And I hope he continues to grow. And.

then all that stuff happened. You talk. about the game plan and everything and. then you're the one that tweeted ass and. cheeks or who who was that was not me. Okay, you can check my account. I did. not call them and I never have called. them ass and cheeks. They will always be. Sonic and Knuckles to me. I love Jir. I. love Monty. I don't like that that's. happening right now. >> But did it look a lot like that week one. loss where people did call them ass and. cheeks? Yes. Unfortunately, it looked. exactly like that week.

>> It's a long season. This is going to. happen. This is going to happen. Jonathan Taylor didn't go crazy either. against Pittsburgh Steelers. And he had. >> What are they calling him? >> I didn't see anything. >> Uh MVP Kansas. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's what we're doing. That's. what Colts fans are saying cuz we're. supportive of our team. Okay. We don't. automatically just immediately go to. Well, how can we make this exponentially. worse? This little nickname they have. here. Oh, >> I thought they were calling him whole. cuz he held out a couple years ago. >> That's what I saw. I did see that as. well. Saw that as well. >> I didn't see that. We're past that. But. they need to pay that man his money.

[laughter]. >> We are way past. >> Were they calling him that? >> No. No, they were not. This is Foxy's. fictitious fairy tale land that he is. living in. >> I also saw one about Dan Jones. They. were calling him pumpkin and I didn't. like that either. I wasn't going to call. Dan Jones that. >> Out of respect for Dan Jones. The the. Colts overreaction is pretty good, but. there's a lot of lot of mean stuff said. about Dan Jones. >> Yeah. And it's not Colts people. It's. everybody else putting the Bon Hayes. down. No. [laughter]. No. No, you did not. You didn't check. their You didn't check their accounts.

They're saying I'm a Colts fan in this. That's a Giants fan. [laughter] Okay. That is somebody that is [clears throat]. some troll on here. Speaking of right. now, there is somebody acting like they. represent our show, sending requests to. people to come on our show. Uh we don't. have atgmail uh emails or any of these. things. You will know if it's coming. from us. And this is such a select group. of people that need to hear this. message, but there's multiple people. getting messages from fake emails trying. to book them on this show. We have no. idea what they're trying to do to you. guys, what information they're trying to. get from you. The emails seem very nice.

If they were booking for us, >> not a bad job. [laughter]. >> The emails, a lot of effort in it to. make it look like it's real, so there. has to be some angle. We have no idea. what it's for, but multiple people have. sent it to us. So, just uh very small. group there. You got to kind of do that. But on the Colts stuff, people are. trolling all the time. Let's go to the. overreaction for the Colts. This is from. Camden Cundiff. Uh hashtag, I don't want. to overreact, but Colts are dead. The. so-called best offense in the league. Can't even beat the plastic curtain and. the vaccinated Aaron Rogers.

>> He's not vaccinated. >> He's unvaccinated. Didn't realize Shane. Stiken and Daniel Jones were dressing up. as Frank Wright [laughter]. >> and Carson Wentz on Sunday for. Halloween. >> That's mean. >> That's good. >> That was good. >> Rude work, Cam. >> It's pretty good. You got to admit. that's pretty darn good. >> That's what it's all about. >> That's great overreaction. >> That's rude. >> Tying in Halloween to that. >> in terrible times. Those were hard. times. Jacksonville Jaguars were dressed. up like their fans were dressed up like. clowns. Yeah. >> Because they were calling the. organization a clown show.

>> Yeah. >> And we just had to beat the team that. had their fans in the stands dressing. like clowns. And we make it clown time. and we make the playoffs. >> We lose the Klein time. >> The team that is getting openly. ridiculed and mocked by their fan base. for being asinine and being terrible. just knocked us out of the playoffs. What the hell just happened? didn't have. a head coach. By that point, Urban was already fired. >> Oh my gosh. That's what we were doing with Frank and. Carson. Now, Frank,

>> he was a tough tough deck of cards. He. was. >> Stanford's got some big wins this year. >> Let's not even, you know, let's not even. think about that. Stanford's in an. interesting place as well. But for the. Colts, it was an interesting, you know, set of situations, especially even from. the hiring all the way through the. entire process. But yeah, it's a lot. different now with Danny Jones than it. was with Carson Wentz. No offense. We. love Carson Wentz. >> Obviously, >> it's Carson Wentz experience. Those are. tough times though, brother. Those are. hard times. Halloween joke in there is pretty good.

>> I love the plastic shower curtain. ricochet either. >> Yeah. >> And Aaron's immunized, by the way. Okay. He's not vaccinated. >> Yeah. And there was a chance at that. time he potentially could have been. Now, I I think it was certainly a ploy. to get out of the question, but I mean, he did his research. 500page report. No, nobody remembers that. >> Nope. >> For my body, he said, "Here's a five.". He had all these. >> Yeah. like one of those flip books. >> This is what my researcher said. Maybe. the most amount of research on CO at the.

time was in his hand. >> Yep. >> Just to see what would happen. >> A lot more than a lot of people were. doing. >> What was a crazy time to be alive. We're. in the middle of a lot of stuff. We're. in the middle of a lot of stuff then. And. Mhm. I had to get it. >> What an interesting time to be alive. >> That said so much. I mean I mean Aaron I. think that was when Aaron was logged uh. basically publicly came out and said I'm. not your puppet. >> Yeah. >> Basically and took a big stance heel. turner. >> Yeah. Well for some Yeah. For some and.

then there was others that were like. >> Yeah. Cuz we were in the middle. >> I mean there was a uh uh. >> van diagram. >> this thing. Yeah. But it was like waves. of people one way verse the other. Yep. >> You know, and then there's that middle. part where they're kind of sharing and. we were just somehow boom right in the. middle of it. >> Somehow we found our way. >> into that. >> And hey, on that note, >> that's part of conversation. >> That's part of having conversation with. people. It's. >> history.

>> That was a wild time to be alive. Then. he wins the MVP that year. >> and the next year. >> Two time COVID MVP. >> Yep. that when they tell the story they're. gonna have to say that. >> So during the co actually this is. >> he was MVP on the field twice and then. also off the field some people calling. him MVP some people call him more hum. Yeah. >> So this is all valuable patient. >> Yeah they were saying [laughter] that. they were saying that was a crazy time. What if he wins it with the Steelers? >> That'd be cool. That'd be really cool.

>> Could you imagine that story? >> I just love how mad he is whole time. >> Yeah. He he'd go upfield. Yeah. He's. he's the the accountability is. >> Yeah. What was that Quinton Nelson thing. about? Was he mad at him, too? >> No. When Quinton Nelson came out, gave. him the old uh Asm old OG. >> That said, good game. >> Quinton's a strong guy, though. >> Yeah, he is a strong guy. Hey, I don't. know if I'd want that. >> Yeah. I mean, that was good. I mean, he. went full that was full slap right. there. Yeah. He was thinking about going. to the back, you know, the quarterback's. backs. You never want to hurt.

>> Yeah, exactly. >> Let's go and take down the ball cheeks. Let's go and give a little smack and run. here. Let's go to the next overreaction, shall we? This is from Brett Thompson. #. I don't want to overreact, but the. Seahawks are the hottest team in. football. That belt to ass display in. prime time shows exactly why they're the. best in the West. McDonald has those. boys firing on all cylinders. Offense, elite, defense, savage, >> making songs. Bring the Lombardi back to. Pike Place. I'll tell you what, Seattle. in the Super Bowl conversation wasn't. really happening nationally by a lot of.

people. I watch that Commander game and. I just think, wow, they're big, they're. fast, they're strong, and offensively. they can score. So you you think, why. not the Seattle Seahawks? And. [clears throat] the more and more you. watch, you think, why not the Seattle. Seahawks? And then you realize, oh, the. Seattle Seahawks are in this [ __ ]. Seattle Seahawks are in the Super Bowl. conversation. And it's like, good for. the Seahawks fans. Very loyal bunch. >> Yeah. >> Now, there are some times, trying times, they kick everybody out of the building. They paint over the walls. They don't. have as much success. Sam Darnold. getting out there. Cooper Cups over. there coaching right now because he's. not even playing. They're saying he's.

helping it all. It's like good for the. Seahawks, brother. Good for the. Seahawks. >> They don't have any weaknesses. It feels. like obviously Darnold in the play. action game and because because of. Kenneth Walker, he's been great in all. the weapons they have. And then the. defense like is just and they do it with. four a lot of time. I saw a stat earlier. today. They have the highest pressure. rate with only bringing four in the. league. So then they could cover on the. back end. They are they're a good a good. football team up there. >> Seahawks are really good football team. Really good football team. Let's go to. the next overreaction, shall we? This is. from Guy Eastgate. O A CG 32 # I don't.

want every. Bears are a team of destiny. Ben and. Caleb find a [ __ ] way. Finally, dare. I say, we might actually be good. Good, better, best. Never let it rest until. your good gets better and your better. gets best. Bear the [ __ ] down. I'll tell. you what, love the vibes in the locker. room afterwards. Love that long of a. chant and everybody being allin. You. know, that's kind of a college feel that. they seemingly have as they're building. this culture over there. Offense looks. great. Defense hums. Special teams gonna.

have to figure that out a little bit. I. think Cairo had a pretty bad miss, but. might just been a mishit. He has been. great for them over the long haul. But. Caleb seemingly finding his way. Dan. Olowski said he needs to be a little bit. more structurally sound. Need to be a. little bit more in the structure of the. offense. And if you listen to that, then. you would say there's so much more that. he can get better at, you know, if. that's the case. So, good for the. Chicago Bears. They might be for real. >> Oh, yeah. Like even that conversation we. just had about the Vikings over the next. 10 years with JJ and Kevin Oonnell, it's.

like [ __ ] with Caleb and Ben Johnson. It's going to be exciting to see what. happens with them. And then even, you. know, Jordan Love and Lafleur or whoever. they replace Laflur with. Uh but that's. kind of the thing that division, you. know, we talked about earlier in the. program about the NFC West, it's like, hey, that NFC North just as big of a. problem. They got a lot of good teams. >> Yeah. Ben Johnson obviously guru, right? That's what they say. and he'll be. around no matter how much success they. have. He's not like he's going to move. on from the Chicago Bears. So, Caleb, you would think, will have same offense.

for a long time here whenever they start. having success. >> Yeah. And I think like the Bears have. already had three wins this year where. in the last 15 years they just lose. those games. Like the any one of the. Bears teams in the last 15 years, this. play doesn't happen. You know, just take. your pick. Like they get down like that. and it's just it's over. It's. heartbreaking. Here we go again. for. them to come back like they are, you. know, they're they're a scary team if. it's close in the fourth quarter now, which is not something you could say. about the Bears anytime in the in the. recent, you know, I mean, literally like.

the last 20 years. >> Bear D. All right, let's go to the next. one here from the Carolina Panthers. fans. Chris. # I don't want to overreact, but the. Carolina Panthers are a threat to the. NFC South. I don't have data. I don't. have logic. We just got a gut feeling. and an unhealthy amount of blind faith. #ke keep pounding. Panthers are good. football team. Huge win over Green Bay. Bryce Young doing his thing. And people. were saying Rico Daell, not only is he. one of the most entertaining people to. maybe be playing football right now,

might be one of the best football. players on earth as we sit at this exact. moment. He's really helped their. offense. Obviously, whenever you can run. as well as you can. Enrico Daell only. doing two pumps, getting penalized. He. can only get better and better from this. point. >> Yeah. And we do have a Ma Gro situation. here. It's actually Rico D. We've been. pronouncing it wrong. Yeah. At least. that's what I. >> I like Dow, man. >> Heard them saying. Yeah. >> All right. Da Rico. >> Yeah. Rico. Yeah. Rico is a great name. We don't even need to be messing. >> Best running back in NFL history. You. could call him that probably if you.

wanted to. >> That's Green Bay Packers fan. Just watch. him do what he did in a big time win. over the Green Bay Packers. Carolina. Panthers. Let's go football. >> Let's go football. I mean, just like. their game plan yesterday was perfect. They went for it on fourth and short a. bunch because they were talking about. the wind and like they they picked up. every single one of them. They possessed. the ball so much. They kept it out of, you know, the Packers hands and then. defensively they just they answered. every bell they had to. Like a as a. Packers fan, like I'll be honest, there. wasn't really a point during that game. where I thought they were going to lose.

I kind of thought like, okay, no matter. what, like they're going to come back. and it's going to be another ugly win. But to Carolina's credit, like they just. they they did what they had to do the. entire game and I think they knew, you. know, probably about midway through the. third quarter there, like, hey, if we. continue to do what we've been doing all. day, like this team can't beat us. And. lo and behold, they couldn't. >> Let's go to Puba Parker now. # I don't. want to overreact, but Johnny Mo stinks. He inherited one of the best offenses in. NFL history and turned him into a. one-dimensional dumpster fire. If Dan.

Campbell is truly an inspirational. leader, he'll tell the team he failed. them by hiring Morton. #fire that fraud. Is this how you guys feel up there? >> I'm not there yet, but a lot of people. are saying this. There's just so many. things you watch yesterday where you go, "Okay, we're getting pressured. Uh, Ben. Johnson would have fixed that. Oh, we. can't run the ball. Uh, Ben Johnson. would have fixed that." And so, that's. kind of where we're at as Lions fans. with this offense. We were just clunky. Uh, golf had no time. It was bad. The O. line didn't look great. Just like week. one against the Packers. If we can't run. the ball, we're done. And so that's kind.

of where we're at. >> Yeah. Impuba said, "Listen, >> you see what Ben's doing in Chicago, buddy. >> Let's pick this [ __ ] up. Caleb caught a. touchdown.". >> Yeah. >> I want We want to see some Hey, we like. to have fun while we're watching our. game, too. Hey, we want to see some. [ __ ] Let's go ahead and uh let's not be. a boring offense. You know, we always. had uh a little bit of special talent on. offense, but never the best offense. Then we got the best offense. And let us. tell you what it's like with the best. offense. They do [ __ ] They do a lot of.

[ __ ] It's not just like, oh, you need. to do fundamentally sound stuff. They. they try stuff. They experiment. And. also, they're fun to watch. So, let's go. ahead and use all the [ __ ] guys that. we had last year that we still have this. year. And let's just do the same thing. They were asking after week one. Was. that not week one question? >> A thousand%. That's what was happening. >> Hey, you you just do the same offense. Can you in theory do the same offense as. last year? And it's like, well, you. don't have the same feel as maybe Ben. Johnson. You may want to call it. differently. Maybe you're setting things. up in a different way. Will this guy.

will anybody that was to get this job. have any chance with after what Ben. Johnson was able to do with that Lions? >> No. I mean, we had a historic offense. last year, the best offense in Lions. history. So, literally whoever is going. to get that job didn't have a chance. So, that's why a lot of people now are. calling for Dan Campbell to take the. play sheet. He can call plays cuz Dan. Campbell certified. He can do whatever. he wants in Detroit for the rest of his. life. So, if he's calling plays and he. stinks, we'll be okay. >> Hey, he is certified. Dan Campbell. calling plays would be awesome. That. would be incredible. But if he was to do. that, obviously he'd be taking play. calling duties away from an offensive.

coordinator that he promoted and he's. proud of and everything like that. So. that becomes its own story. Somebody. just uh. >> Yeah. Stfansky gave up play calling to. uh Tommy Reese. >> Tommy Reese formerly of Notre Dame uh I. believe. >> Yep. Yep. >> And everybody thought he was going to. become a head coach. He goes up to. Cleveland. He's now getting play call. This is back toback years now where. Kevin Sansky is giving up play calling. >> I believe that was the tweet that I saw. you. >> Is that real? >> I think it was from Mr. Rapwa. That's. always the first uh move by head coach. >> Yep. >> We need somebody to do do something.

different. Something we got to publicly. announce. >> There's a lot of heat. Let's put it on. them. >> Johnny Mo's catching it right now. All. right, let's go to the next. overreaction. It's from Jordan at Joney. Karns. Hey Jordan Karns, thanks for. tweeting in hash. I don't want to. overreact. Packers are frauds. >> Matt Laflur has been prepared for a. first half his entire life. Packers have. the worst special teams unit for the. 100th straight year. And now there ain't. enough bush light to drown out the. Tucker Craft injury. I'm bummed out. You. are the one that selects these tweets.

Yeah, >> this one kind of encapsulated everything. you were thinking about. >> Yeah, I think that uh is pretty spot on. on all fronts. You know, we got a guy. who sets the franchise record kicking a. couple couple weeks ago and I get it. They paid McManus. He's been very good. You can tell. I mean, he's still hurt. At least that's the story I'm going to. go with. Misses a field goal yesterday. they absolutely needed to have. Uh yeah, the floor is just I don't know. They're. just I mean good teams don't do this. You're not just unprepared to it's. almost like he forgets that they have to.

play a game on Sunday and they play down. to their competition week in and week. out which is why I'm honestly like I'm. not that I'm not that concerned about. the Eagles game next week on Monday. night because I think they'll get up for. that because they understand like that's. a good team. We can't play like we did. on Sunday or we'll get beat by five. touchdowns. But then the Tucker Craft. injury is just the cherry on top. He's. the best player on their offense because. they haven't been able to get the. running game going really this year for. whatever reason. And boy, it is going to. look so much different without him out.

there. So yeah, uh just not a great day. to be a Packers fan. >> Hey, the Panthers are a good football. team. >> All right, let's go to the next one from. Cincinnati. Uh Jake Bailey, it's. trademarked. Don't take it. # I don't. want to overreact, but the University of. Cincinnati Bearcats could score 40 plus. on this Bengals defense. We have a high. school level coaching staff and front. office. Send Zack Taylor packing and. sell the team. The Brown family has. caused my family irreparable damages for. decades. Hilarious from Jake Bailey.

here. Cincinnati Bengals obviously lose. in devastating fashion. I mean, just. absolutely devastating fashion. And. what's on the horizon? Oh, a trade. deadline. Will anybody be on their way. out? Well, a bunch of people are. requesting a leaf. >> They'd like to. >> We're just a couple years away from or. removed from them making it to a Super. Bowl in the jungle being absolutely. absurd. Then they invest all the money. in a couple different parts. None of it. really being on the defensive side. They. change a defensive coordinator, kick. Lanarumo out of there, and now all hell. breaks loose. They can't stop anybody. That's an unbelievable feat, especially. for a team that's supposed to be in.

Super Bowl conversations, especially. with the quarterback that they have. Joe. Burrow gets hurt, Joe Flacco comes in, does his thing. Zack Taylor seemingly in. a spot because the way they've pieced. this team together and now it looks like. they have no chance of winning anything. Uh Tone AFC North obviously Pittsburgh. Steelers, Baltimore Ravens potentially. if they're able to go on a run after. Thursday night, but the Bengals and the. Browns, Bengals were supposed to be in. the convo. Bengals now seemingly not in. the convo at all and Browns obviously. they got the head coach giving up play. calling duties in the middle of the. season. >> Yeah, those two teams are tough. The. Browns were never supposed to be in it,

but like you said, the Bengals and. Ravens were the favorites coming into. the season in this division, and they. both started horrendously. Um, things. are coming back around for the Ravens. It feels like obviously Lamar is coming. back healthy. They're getting teams. healthy. They're starting to play a lot. better defense. But for the Bengals. side, after these back-to-back losses. against the Jets and now the Bears, in. the fashion that it happened, it it and. the way that the locker room has uh. responded to both of those, it feels. like they might be out of the race. Yeah, it also sucks for Zack Taylor. because like I'm not so sure it's his.

fault at this point. It kind of looks. like a reverse Brown situation, you. know, where the Browns their ownership. pays Deshun Wson $230 million. Sure. And. and like is he the one that is deciding, hey, we're not going to pay anyone on. defense. We're only going to go with. offense. Like is that Zack Taylor or is. that, you know, Blackburn and Duke Tobin. and the front office? Like that's why. Zack Taylor is going to get the short. end of the stick. Something does have to. change. So, it would make sense that. he's the guy, but like I'm I'm not. completely out on Zack Taylor. The.

offense is unbelievable and he's calling. the plays and they and they are still. making it happen. >> Yeah. No matter what happens to Zack. Taylor, he's going to be calling plays. somewhere and they're going to be very. good very quickly. And uh I I not saying. that he's going to get fired, but even. if he stays in Cy, he's going to be. calling plays and they're going to be. very good very quickly. Uh I'm I'm. excited to see how that all works, especially, you know, down in Miami, they got a guy who's pretty good play. caller. >> There you go. you know, he's got the. head coach right now. >> Zack Taylor pretty good play caller head.

coach right now. What does the future. look like? Well, if you listen to. reports, everything's all hunkadory, but. it's the NFL. Is there anything ever. hunkadory? >> No. >> No. I mean, I unfortunately it does sit. like like Connor was saying, like I. don't think it's all his fault, but. something has to change and it's. probably just time where like like you. said, he'll be okay. He'll go somewhere. be an OC for a year or two. Their. offense will be unbelievable and he'll. probably get another crack at it. But. it's just like I mean it's every week. It's every week with this team. You. know, Flaco's thrown for 470 yards and. [ __ ] four touchdowns and that's all.

we're talking about on Mondays. Like, boy, Bengals defense can't [ __ ]. tackle anybody. They choked again. Like. I if you're Yeah. If you're in that. locker room, man, that it'd be hard to. show up to work every. >> How about all the offensive guys saying, "Yeah, we're done with it. We're done. with it. Can't do it anymore." It's. like, boys, you knew this was going to. happen. You had to have in the. preseason. had looking at the season as. football people you had to know that hey. this might not be the way to go about. doing it but nonetheless they're living. it. Now, let's go to the next one. This. from sleeper chiefs KC very active on.

the internet. # I don't want to. overreact, but the Chiefs are going to. win out after this by week. It's a. guarantee. >> Get healthy, make a trade in the next 24. hours and watch the goat QB win his. fourth Super Bowl. Knicks, Danny Dimes, and a Aeron are frauds. The AFC is up. for grabs and a cream rises to the top. Take it easy, sleeper. Jesus. dimes a fraud, love. >> [ __ ] real deal. Aaron Rogers. Yeah, right. If he was a fraud, do you think.

he'd still be playing at [ __ ] 41. years? >> Four time MVP. >> Yeah, right, dude. No, I get it. You. guys are looking to win your fourth. Super Bowl under this era and that's. certainly been a lot of fun. But there's. a lot of competition in this AFC, let. alone Knicks is still only getting. better. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> He's just at the very beginning of his. entire run here. any and on that note, I. agree with everything you're saying. [laughter] I agree with everything. you're saying. I love this Chiefs team. And uh if Patrick Mahomes can survive, >> okay, and I think Josh Simmons reporting.

back to the facility, they have a. by-week here, so it's two weeks. He's. left tackle supposed to be very good. Hasn't been playing. Maybe this bye-week. him coming back will be good for them. Maybe they're able to take care of one. of the issues that is certainly. happening, not being able to protect. Do. we have another one or is that the last. one? That's the last one. All right. Thank you for all the tweets on hashtag. I don't want to overreact, but That was. great, guys. [applause]. >> All right, let's get the hell out of. here, shall we? Uh, let's enjoy. tonight's game. I am on the Cardinals. plus three and a half. Might be a. terrible pick. I was under 500 this. weekend, so take that however you want.

>> Might be a good pick. >> Might be a great pick. >> Bingo. >> Hey, that's sports gambling, baby. >> Exactly. >> Dak takes on Jacobe Brassette. Dan. Olowski says, "Look for Buddha number. three up there to get his hand on a ball. or two tonight. Look for this Arizona. Cardinal team to be hunting out there. with Gan and the boys." And then on the. other side, looking for the Dallas. Cowboys to do what the Dallas Cowboys do. best. They'll put on a damn show. Can't. wait for [clears throat] it. Be a. friend. Tell a friend something nice. It. might change your life. We're in this. thing together. Good work today, boys. Team on me. Team on three. One, two,

three. Team. Goodbye. [clears throat].
