[Applause]. [Music]. The following program is a collection of. students talking about happily. in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words.

because that's how humans is the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, what? Let's go. >> This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You can. stop.

>> Damn it. Your friend, tell a friend. something nice could change their life. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode, the Thunderdome on. this overreaction Monday, September 8, 2025. This program begins right now. >> Football is here in full effect. And. obviously we have one game tonight, an. NFC North battle that'll be on ABC that. we will certainly be watching. And then.

Payton Manning and Eli Manning doing. their simo cast as well. But week one of. the NFL season has completed a full. Sunday slate. College football still. throwing 100 on the paint. Today is a. great day to celebrate everything. happening and also today is a glorious. day to overreact uh ridiculously. Now. from week one of the NFL season all the. way until the Super Bowl, obviously. teams are going to change mightily. Injuries are going to happen, teams are. going to get better. You know, offensive. coordinator and quarterback are going to. maybe get on the same page. Same thing.

on the defensive side of the ball. So, anything you say the day after the first. NFL Sunday slate is certainly going to. be ridiculous if you were to look at it. from week 15 back until now. But in this. moment, everything we're about to say. makes a lot of sense. Now, is it going. to be overreactions? Potentially, some. will say in the end, but in the real. moment that we're living right now, the. reason why the NFL is what it is and why. football is the greatest sport on earth. is because the way we feel today is how. a majority of fan bases feel around the. NFL. We'll be celebrating mightily with. the teams that won and we'll certainly. be dunking on the teams that look like.

ass. How are you getting paid money to. do this? Were you guys even practicing? How'd you How'd you roll out of bed on. this particular day and look that bad? And on the flip side, holy [ __ ] we're. winning the Super Bowl. >> Lot of that today. And we're so thankful. that we get to do this for a living. The. non-professional athlete table at Boston. Connor and at Ty Schmid are here. >> I mean, it's just sitting there. >> No, you have to. >> Someone had to. Yeah, once or twice. By. the way, I hope we all just kind of, you. know, now there are things. >> nyear NFL fan.

I would say uh no doubt. >> you guys have no idea about. I I think. that is a fair fair thing to say. But. now we all on the same team now, baby. We're all on the same team now and we. are very thankful for your perspective. because obviously it's going to be. vastly different than ours. With that. being said, a lot to celebrate this. weekend from the toxic table, huh? Drake. May be a guy. Green Bay Packers. Holy. [ __ ] Ty Smith. >> might be the team. Uh, you know, listen, I I tried to kind of downplay it going. in, but after yesterday, yeah, that.

might be the team. >> Let's go to one half of the hammer. Done. >> Cowboys AP tone. The Pittsburgh. Steelers, one of the biggest stories of. the offseason. They're going all in. Wow. Highscoring, thrilling affair over. there in New York with your former. quarterback Justin Fields. Uh, >> Tan, are you guys winning the Super. Bowl? >> Uh, if you recall on Friday, I said if. they lose week one, the season's over. But if they win, >> we're going to the Super Bowl. >> On that note, ladies and gentlemen, it. is time for the first 15. We'll be doing. this on overreaction Mondays throughout.

the rest of the year. We think these are. the top five things that you need to. know about. And if we miss a couple, we'll certainly pick those up. This is. the first 15. Let's get to it. Number. five starts in the Steel City, the. Pittsburgh Steelers. The Rogers reminder. still got him. You know, there was a lot. of conversation last year about whether. or not this guy is worth a damn at. professional football. You know, he flew. all the way from his home in beautiful. Southern California. I mean, he's got a. gorgeous. >> Oh, yeah. >> Good views. He walks on that beach, too. He's got his dog, Apollo, coming around.

You know, he's having a good time. It's. a beautiful house. He said, "You know. what? I'm going to go fly back to New. York whenever they get the new GM, new. head coach. I want to talk to them. personally. So, I want I want to go. ahead and just kind of see where they're. at. If they're to move on, that hey, that's their prerogative. They can do. what they want to do. But just wanted. them to know that I would like my Jets. tenure to end in a good way." Is what he. told us verbatim. Flies all the way over. there. It's about four and a half, five. hours depending upon the jet stream. behind him, you know, there maybe five. and a half depending. Yeah, there's, you. know, a lot of that thing. Gets all the. way down there in Teter Bro, drives over. to the facility, sits down, Aaron Glenn. says,

>> you can go ahead and get the [ __ ] out of. here. That is uh pretty much, >> yeah, we don't want you. Now, I don't. think those were the exact words. Now, the way Aaron describes the encounter. and the lack of description of the. encounter from Aaron Glenn makes us. believe that it probably was pretty. uncomfortable situation. No doubt. >> So, then Aaron leaves and now he's. trying to figure out his life. remember. close personal friends going through a. cancer battle. We would inevitably learn. had to be there for them. People that. rely upon him were going through some. very heavy things. He had his off. seasonason. He was thinking about. potentially retiring. Doesn't join any. team. Everybody's loud. This guy needs.

to make his decision for draft. Little. they know that was going to happen. He. was going to be making decision for a. long, long time at that particular case. And the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike Tomlin. was calling him every single week, checking in on him, seeing how he's. doing, how's it going. They were. preparing an offense allegedly for Aaron. Rogers even when he wasn't a Pittsburgh. Steeler for uh at the time. So, you. wonder with all that [ __ ] and all the. noise and everything that's going on, how would it fair? Thought it was going. to be a KG affair because these two. teams obviously defensive stout. I'll. tell you what, Justin Fields might be. the right fit for an Aaron Glenn offense.

in New York. They might have some things. to be excited about. And on the flip. side, Aaron Rogers slicing dyson for. four touchdowns. You Steelers fans got. to be losing your mind tone. >> Yeah, we are. It was it was really cool. once the Steelers got their first. kickoff and you saw Aaron run out on the. field like it was a surreal like holy. [ __ ] Aaron Rogers is our quarterback and. then you watched him orchestrate that. offense like Leonard Bernstein it was a. thing of beauty up to the line just. changing plays manipulating the snap. count like it was awesome he was work. everyone got involved like literally.

everyone on offense got involved four. touchdowns oh and he had a gamewinning. drive which is what you know is. something that we haven't had in a long. It was so cool to watch Aaron Rogers be. a quarterback for the Pittsburgh. Steelers. >> Four tids for him. DK Mechaf had some. big time plays. Had a first drop early. Obviously, there were some other things. going on, but you could see that DK is. worth the money. And uh DK is the best. athlete whenever DK is wherever DK is. And not only that, you guys have a. kicker who's potentially doing a hold in. Chris Boswell. Well, he didn't hold in.

and he did play and I think he made some. 55 plus yard earlier in the game and. then to win it 60 yard. Now granted, there's a minute some left, so they. could have come back and taken that from. Chris Boswell. Under a minute 32, take. the lead. I think everybody would call. that a game-winning kick. Chris Boswell. does that for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So damn pure. Now, there were some. misses from the kicking department. around the NFL. And I think we should. all like kind of uh, you know, kind of. view it the same way. If a ball is kind. of drifting to the right for a righty, okay, not an absolute miss. A miss is.

going to happen where you just miss the. sweet spot, your swing, just like in. golf, you kind of come across it. But if. there's one like drifting to the right, not normally the ball, probably because. the kicker is trying to guide it a. little bit, you know, trying to guide. it. Like when you're throwing a a. baseball or a football, it'll be in the. vicinity because that's what you're. actually doing, but it won't be your. pure ball. Does that make sense? Yeah. >> Like Luke, the kicker for the Baltimore. Ravens, his first kick was a 52 yard. That thing was drifting a little bit. right. He has a massive leg. That kid. has a very, very strong leg. Misses an. extra point. Obviously, people pissed. off about it. He is a very talented. kicker. So his first one going a little.

bit to the right. I'm like, "Oo, he was. trying to guide that a little bit.". Probably thinking about it. Still goes. in still very good for a very long time. Boswell hits this 60 yard under. pressure. First week contract dispute. Okay. Money. This is actual. Every ball. is a money ball. >> Every ball's a money ball. This was. supposed to be a 58 yard. They actually. lose. >> Yes, they did. >> Two yards. The play before that. They. try to pick up a couple more yards from. him and ends up going back. So he comes. out there. This ball is pure. And that. leads to Mike Tomlin describing Chris. Boswell in only a fashion that Mike.

Tomlin could describe a kicker. >> And I can't say enough about Bos. Um, man, our kicker is a serial killer, man. He's He got a low pulse rate. >> He can't wait to deliver. >> That's what I'm talking about. Bos is. not thinking about guiding it. Bos isn't. thinking about anything. Bos said he. just goes out there, thinks about his. steps, hits the ball, doesn't even watch. it, and just walk uh leaves the field. One of the greats. One of the greatest. of all time. happy he got a chance to. step up and uh perform and deliver for. the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hell of a start. for the Aaron Rogers.

>> Congrats to the injuries. A lot of drama. over there. >> Lot of drama over there. Came down to a. 60 yard. Okay. Came down to a 60 yard. song. >> Big hit. Big hit. Jaylen Ramsey, too. New addition. Big hit. Knocking that. ball off. >> The way he's talking is he loves the. culture of the Steelers. Oh, yeah. >> Like he's talking like we like he Yeah. He's doing a lot of like, hey, we are. this is how we play. we're not going to. let people kind of come in here and not. play this style. It's like it does feel. like Jaylen Ramsey is supposed to be a. Pittsburgh Steeler. Same with Aaron. >> I mean, even watching Aaron, him walk.

off with Cam Hayward at the end. Cam and. coach Tomlin have walked off the field. together basically for like the last. five, six years since social media has. really been capturing it. We don't know. how much longer before that. But them. waiting for Aaron and then Aaron walking. with him. Yeah. Like this is a cool. moment. This is a very cool moment. Especially walking out of the stadium. that he was at last year and once again. fly all the way over there. Get the hell out of here. I mean, that's. a cool moment for the Steelers. Steelers. fans got to be pumped. Okay, let's move. on. Number four. Uh, is Michael Parsons. going to be in game shape?

>> Is Michael Parsons going to be able to. play football for the Packers after. being traded so late? He did address. being traded so late where he was like, if we would have done this at the right. time, I could have been working with. these guys. I think Michael loves his. time at the Packers. Now, obviously, they get a win. >> Yeah, that helps. >> Obviously, he gets a sack. >> Obviously, he becomes the highest paid. non-quarterback player of all time. 47. million a year. There's a lot of. honeymoon things, but boy, when Jared. Goff just hears a ban and ban it behind. him, I I assume that he thought no.

fatso, no D lineman, no defensive, nobody over 220 lbs is going to be able. to walk me. I have a 20 yard head start. on all remember field is 53 and a third. wide. Micah hunted him down neckon. mentality like a damn shark. And. obviously he has a celebration point in. the sky. The number one looks much. cleaner than I think we all thought it. was going to be. Jordan Love was slicing. and dicing. Feels like the defense is. very good. Green Bay Packers fans. thinking Super Bowl this year for the. Pack. >> Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, there's. no question. Now, I didn't know going.

into yesterday because again, the Lions. are still very good. But boy, did the. Packers dominate this game from the. onset, too. You mentioned it. I think. the Micah stuff, we'll get to that in a. second, but Jordan Love, like people are. talking about him winning an MVP this. year. He had to do it. He came out. started 10 of 14 uh and they scored two. touchdowns and were up 17, you know, three very early which they were playing. from behind against the Lions all year. and in division games. They just look. crisp and everything you were hearing. from the Packers offense was like. they're really hurt in the receiver.

room. They don't really know like we. thought Josh Jacobs was going to come. out and if he wasn't scoring multiple. touchdowns like this Packers offense was. going to be in trouble. Not the case. Love looked phenomenal. And then you. mentioned it, Micah Parsons. I mean, everyone can say whatever they want. I. get it. He only played 45% of the snaps. >> Only got one sack. >> Only only had three pressures. Those. three pressures. Okay. There was a two. yard uh uh a two- yard loss for a. completion on third down. Caused a punt. He had the sack and then uh they also he. he got to Jared Goff and Jared Goff.

threw an intercept. So, those are. pretty, you know, >> also guys playing alongside of him. Yeah, that that is the that is what it. ultimately what this comes down to is. Lucas Vaness had his best game as a. Packer yesterday. Rashawn Garry had a. sack and a half. Like he makes all the. guys around him so much better. And it. again, you could you talk about all that. stuff of him being happy. This is a. different guy than we saw in Dallas. Like sure there's there's some of that, but everything I heard from him postgame. and and like he's he's ecstatic to be a. Packer. from some people that were.

there. They said when he came out of the. the tunnel said it was the bit the. loudest pop they've ever heard in Lambo. >> Well, welcome to Cheese Land, Micah. Parsons. What a way to kick it off. The. Packers look like they're legit. Are the. Lions dead? >> Are the Lions? >> Yeah. I'll tell you what. >> Oh no. >> Everything we were worried about this. whole off season was exposed yesterday. Detroit is burning to the ground right. now. It's not good. >> But you guys got good coordinators. >> Good. offensive line is the biggest.

worry. >> Foxy the Applebee's commercial. >> No, even you get rings for those. >> Dan Campbell's F game in that one. Even. he admitted he wasn't as funny in the. Applebee's commercials. That was a sign. Let's be honest, that was a sign. >> Oh no, not Detroit from 5 years ago. >> Yeah. The biggest worry though, Ragnau. being gone was so evident. That's a. killer. Long season though. We got the. Bears next. Have to beat them. I believe. in Dan Campbell.

>> Yes. >> So, I I don't think having a rough start. with new coordinators is a bad thing, but boy, they're going to have to get. much better out there for Lions fans not. to lose their mind. Let's go to number. three. We got to go back before the. weekend. >> should be talked about. >> Herbert's hot handle skates. >> This guy was electrifying. >> This was exactly what Justin Herbert was. kind of built to be. This is what we had. all hoped that Justin Herbert could be. this season. Second year in the Jim. Harbaugh culture. And you're talking. about Quinton Johnson doing his thing. Keenan Allen, oh yeah, he's back on the.

Chargers. And what's he doing? Oh, scoring touchdowns again. Justin Herbert. was outrageous. I mean, everything he. did was seemingly the perfect decision. at the right time. His leadership very. evident. His press conference afterwards. sounds exactly like a robot. Like. sounds, hey, hey, we need a AI. We need. a quarterback. It's tall, handsome. He's. going to date another celebrity. >> Be very happy. He's going to I need him. to have the proper composure and massive. moments. He needs to be able to throw a. football like a goddamn animal. Okay, that's what he needs to be able to do.

Needs to be able to run people over. Needs to be able to be more physically. gifted than everybody else on the field. And also have an incredibly cool ability. to slot and stay in bounds. High. football IQ. Let's go ahead and ice and. seal this game. But also, whenever he. speaks to the media, just needs to say. just all the right stuff. Yep. >> Just everything needs to not even come. close to being, huh? Huh? Yeah. We're. just focused on tonight playing our best. football. What do you got next week? Well, we're just gonna I think we're. gonna focus on playing our best football. and we're going to do our thing. Yeah. Oh, it was great to have him in here. He. works really hard. We try to work really.

hard. Uh, how do you feel about coach. Harbaugh? He's the best. Every day he's. working so hard. It's just every day. we're kind of focused on that day that. is in front of us and if we keep. stacking days, we're going to be good. Okay. What do you think about your wide. receivers? They're all so good. They all. run such good. Like everything he was. saying was just super perfect. quarterback, movie quarterback. And he. has been called the blueprint. He, Josh. Allen, the other very tall, very large, very athletic, very fast, very durable. guys. Uh, are like what everybody's. looking for.

>> Is this the year dud? You've been on the. Chargers Justin Herbert hype train for. what, four or five years now? >> Yeah, since inception. >> Since Mr. and Mrs. Staley coaching Yeah. Bruce and Linda Staley's coaching tree. have come through there. You've been on. the Herbert train, I would say, since. the beginning. I'll tell you what, Friday had to feel pretty good for that. train as they got off the stop down. there in Brazil. >> Yeah. And uh even before that, we had a. guy, we had a great, you know, Coach BA. sitting in this chair. When he was here, he asked a great quarterback. Uh if we. have a clip, uh what quarterback would. you build your franchise around?

>> Believe it or not, I like the guy in the. with the Chargers just. Yeah. Justin Herbert. I think they just. kind of they've kind of kind of gone by. the wayside. >> Oh, and I got a lot of side was some. side eyes up here on the stage. I'm sure. it was a bunch of I saw a bunch of. comments on X and uh he showed out, man. 25 of 34, 318 yards, just dotting up. And it was a pass first offense, too. Something you don't expect from Greg. Roman. Something you don't expect from a. Jim Harbaugh football team just opening. up pass pass. Got after that Spags.

defense. Everyone was involved. You. mentioned Lad, you mentioned Kenan Allen. been back. And Quinton Johnston, if he. can continue to play like a first round. pick in ball, they'll be in a great. great spot. did the thing with his arm. but with his legs to end the game once. Chris Jones got a little greedy. This. kind of what makes Chris Jones great. You go and take a chance on the edge. You don't dive inside. Herbert gets the. edge and seals it with this beautiful. slide using his legs to seal this game. So yeah, Justin Herbert and the Chargers. look like they might be the real deal. this year.

>> Uh-oh. AFC West has a lot of. competitors. KC Chiefs going to have to. figure it out pretty quick, Ty. They're. getting loud over there in Kansas City. and around the world. >> I hate to say it. Uh I think the Chiefs. might be dead. No. >> they might be. >> the Chiefs is still the Chiefs and. always will be until these guys don't. see Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelce Andy. Reed Brett [ __ ] and Tob the NASCAR. We'll talk about that later. We're. running out of time here. >> Oh, we need NASCAR every We will. certainly talk about it because that was. one of the. >> I'm saying we need it right now. 140.

>> Yeah, we need NASCAR. I don't. >> for this whole operation. >> Yeah, I don't know if we have enough. time. So like for that NASCAR kick that. they did right at uh right before half. there is a cut off time they were. certainly at it and that was un Yeah. Yeah. Well ladies and gentlemen number. two headline that I think we need to be. talking about. Josh Allen and the Bills. thriller. >> You all were probably asleep. I fell. asleep after watching Lamar Jackson run. 200 yards to pick up a first down after. he was out running the entire Buffalo.

Bills Dline and they were up 15. I'm. like, well, if this is happening in the. fourth quarter, it has seemingly been. the Ravens night to begin with. Josh. Allen has certainly made some massive. plays, but this Baltimore Ravens team. looked unstoppable. And when Lamar's. doing this [ __ ] in the fourth quarter. and they have a lead, my brain just. said, "You can go to bed now. What did I. miss?" Oh, a record-breaking final four. minutes where a team is down by 15 with. under four minutes. 359 right there. Bang. Fourth and two. Tip ball. Keon.

Coleman. touchdown. Well, now we got to, you know, now we got to hope for. something else good to happen. Well, Derrick Henry, who was having a. >> career evening in Buffalo, going for 100. early, couple touchdowns, does something. he never does cuz Ed Oliver is an. absolute monster on that Buffalo Bills. Dline. They scoop it. Obviously, Josh. Allen and the Bills do what they do. They score. Missed the two-point. conversion. Now, they're down two. Baltimore gets the rock back. They can.

run the clock out. They don't leads to. what? Matt Prader, 41 years old. Walk-off field goal. Buffalo Bills beat. the Baltimore Ravens. What a night for. Josh Allen. What a night for the Bills. And the number one headline is the Colts. going to the Super Bowl. >> Colts going to win the Super Bowl. And. uh that is no question. And that's cuz. the big three. >> big three. >> as coined by Edin James is how I heard. it. The big three are holding people. accountable in that building. Carly, Kayn, and Casey. Congratulations on.

being undefeated owners. And Danny. Dimes, we got a chance to catch up with. him earlier today. We'll run that. interview in about an hour or so. He is. in the perfect place here in. Indianapolis. It was fun to watch. Tyler. Warren, this guy, >> he's a Sasquatch actor. >> This dude's unbelievable. And Danny. Dimes loves him. Danny Dimes was getting. the ball to everybody. I mean, everybody. was eating. Jonathan Taylor had a big. game. Offensive line did some amazing. stuff. I mean, it was it was the the. most fun we've ever had in in the.

lighthouse. >> by far. >> since becoming fans of the team uh like. show uh here like in the suite. It was. spectacular, electrifying. Cam Binham. and I I said this to Danny Dimes. earlier, which you'll see in the. conversation in about an hour from now. Cam Binham between every single play was. like this and he gets a turnover. You. could see that he is just a juice. machine and he's everywhere. Lan Rumo's. defense had him held him to a shut out. in the first half and only gave up eight. points or whatever it is and Cam Bonnie. I mean that is unbelievable stuff. I.

wish he would have hit the kip up into. the pop block but nonetheless uh the. Colts look different and with these eyes. in boots on the ground actually. >> they're going to win Super Bowl. This. team's a real deal. 7% optimism in that. athletic poll from a lot of people that. were AR fans on the internet. And those. AR fans were saying a lot of terrible. things about me whenever I was pointing. out the obvious last year. Okay. And now. they were saying very negative things. whenever Danny Dons became our. quarterback. >> And everybody. >> kind of said that this team stunk. Everybody. Yeah. People forget we.

invested in defense. We got a new. defense coordinator. We got dogs across. the board over there. And on the. offensive side, Danny Dimes has loved. his weapons here since the day he got. here. The only reason why I know that is. because I had a chance to have dinner. with him a couple weeks into his stint. here and he started rattling off names, who he likes, how he likes, and you saw. Pitman Jr. do his thing. Towns do his. thing. Tyler Warren do his thing. Big Mo. All Cup. I mean, Pierce is doing his I. mean there is. >> we got we we got a team. >> We got a team. >> And uh shout out to Boss Man, you know.

Uh certainly pu pushing the Pacers on a. little bit of run. >> Yep. >> And I'll tell you what, if Jim Mercy's. going to be doing a little bit of run. for his Indianapolis Colts, we'll. certainly enjoy the ride, brother, one. last time. It was a fun day celebrating. the boss. A lot of uh alum came back. into town Saturday night. There was a. gathering as well. It was uh it was a. perfect weekend here in Indianapolis for. the Colts and the team looks damn good. for real. Conan, >> well, that's the thing is that it was. justifying watching the entire thing. because it was domination. You know, we. talked about some of the games earlier. like the Packers, they dominated the.

Lions start to finish. The Colts are one. of those teams who dominated week one, the Dolphins from start to finish. And. when you just look at all of those uh. weapons that you just mentioned, this is. why living in Indianapolis and watching. this team has been such a nightmare for. the past 5 years because this wasn't the. first time they've been out on the field. with all these great players, all these. great receivers, all these great players. on defense and and performed well. You. know, that's why it has stunk because. we've seen the potential. You see AD. Mitchell, Pierce DS, you know, Tyler.

Warren now Pitman, like all those dudes. have been there minus Warren and they. haven't had a quarterback like Dan. Jones. They haven't had an O line play. that well like they did yesterday. It. was just a big time like, okay, so we. haven't been watching or talking about. the Colts like absolute idiots. They. have been this good. They just needed a. quarterback to come in and Danny. Diamonds is the guy. >> A lot of pressure on him too. >> Yeah. A lot on the Colts as a whole. or. on Danny Jones specifically because you. come in and you you have a very, you. know, publicized quarterback battle. We. know what he did in in New York and what.

that was. But so it's a lot of pressure. for him to come in and okay, now it's. obvious that he won this job, you know, and when I reached out to people in the. building once he was named the starter, nobody was surprised and now you see. why. And then the game plan, you know, uh we you'll see it more in the. conversation with Dan, but it was pass. pass pass out of the gate and I. definitely didn't expect that. Um, but. yeah, he he showed up and then his. defense, Lana Romo, been in a been in a. new spot with a bunch of new pieces. They were seven minutes away from a shut. out. So, yeah, all things are clicking. right now for the Colts.

>> Indiana Jones and the Dimes Dive, brother. We're about to have a run over. here. And Tyler Warren. >> ain't from here. >> No, >> he is gigantic. >> Add him to the list. >> And I think he might have the head, the. skull, like AJ has one of these ones. here. Just a super thick massive massive. head. >> like a cannonball. >> B. It is like cannonball. Yeah, it would. have to be to survive that hit. We saw. Penn State. It the way his head snapped. off that. >> the most violent thing I've ever seen in. person. >> Just complete bang and then he just Oh.

[ __ ]. >> He got a hand off on the next play. >> Yeah, his hair. I mean, he is he is. awesome. And we got OG's that are good. But you're right. It was like kind of. like justified. It's. >> just like thank goodness what we've been. seeing and talking about isn't just us. Ballard's probably thinking the same. thing. >> Yeah. Oh my god. >> Jesus Christ. I I thought we've had a. good team for a while. Okay, quickly D. but uh you you heard the top five there. Anything we missed that people. definitely need to know about? >> Oh, speaking of violence, I saw. something violent yesterday out there. with the Rams. Puka Nicole, an absolute.

dog friend of the program. Took a nasty, nasty hit from that nasty Houston Texans. defense. But guess what? He didn't cry. He didn't pop. He went back to the. locker room, showed his quarterback, "All right, stay. All right, go go go. patch that [ __ ] up and get back out. here. Need your 12." and he came back. out and he showed up and they got a big. time win. Tough opponent. Look, week. one, it's all about getting a win. Regardless of how ugly, how pretty he. is, you want to get that win. But it's. not just about offense. That defense. should look got the boys still hunting. Lamb man had a huge huge punch out. But.

this is the cover. Durant right here. with this nasty interception on the. sideline. Just nasty. Had to replay it. to make sure it was an interception like. they do all turnovers. Just. >> that guy's name is Land. >> No. No. This is Durant. This is right. here. Yes. And this punch out is. phenomenal. The peanut punch, Marlon. Humphrey, all these guys have made it. famous. Not even going in thinking about. a tackle. Just going in with an actual. laser missile on that punch out. Unbelievable turnover. Rams found a. great pretty win. And the recovery, I.

mean, the recovery was just as nasty and. as athletic as the punch out. This was. one great great game. Another great game. down there in the NFC South. We talking. about the Tampa Bay Bucks in the. Atlanta. Hold on. >> First name like rock land man. >> I will never say his first name. >> Punching land to man. >> Slam. Boom. L man. Land man. >> L man. Lman man. Yeah. Exactly. Okay. Sorry. That's a great name. >> Something else we definitely got to. talk. It was a great game down there NFC.

South which is all they always have. bangers week in and week out. But. Michael Pennix Jr. first of all uh the. Falcons made the right decision. They. made the right draft choice and the. Falcons going to be all right. It's a. big time throw in the fourth quarter to. get his team in a position to come down. and possibly win this game. Rar Mloud. had two phenomenal diving plays. This. one was a fourth down scramble to the. left where he dove and got the first. down and made it a goal to go situation. Unbelievable athleticism here. We know. what he can do throwing the ball, but. this is just showing off his.

athleticism. And it didn't stop there. He had another one here. another one. fourth and goal where he had to stretch. out, keep all his lower extremities off. the ground and get the ball to break. that plane to get this game close. But. bake, it started off a little shaky. Atlanta looked better on defense as. well, but they got a superstar, a. budding superstar over there at wide. receiver, Ibuka, and we saw him during. the whole Ohio State run. He's always. kind of the guy not talked about, but he. always shows up in the biggest moment. This was a absolutely nasty throw seed. and a great throw and then a great throw.

and catch here to sit basically go up. and win the game. Just big time big time. player. I think he will become that wide. receiver one. We know Mike Evans, he'll. be a first ballot hall of famer or. should be. Chris Got will get back in. the fo at some point. We got Irving, we. got all these other pieces, but Ibuka, you will not be able to to deny him. He'll get open. He'll make big time. plays week in and week out. >> And he's going to be nothing but a. perfect teammate down there. >> Y for sure. >> You know, Marvin Harrison Jr. was the. big conversation. in Ohio State whenever. he was there. Then Jeremiah Smith was. the big conversation whenever he was.

there. And what did he do? Oh, just be. the second leading receiver every single. year. >> Yep. >> He's not as the one. So, he won't get. into [ __ ] Seems like he'll be a great. teammate. Oh, yeah. >> Block his ass off. >> Everything about him. Yeah. Knows where. to play everywhere. He's durable, reliable. He's like Terry. >> McLaren. >> Yeah. I'm excited to watch him. And. shout out to the Buccaneers getting a. big time win. Falcons defense is playing. pretty good there for Will. They get it. figured out. And Pennock being a guy is. certainly sweet. All right, last before. we get to Adam Shfter, the Gez Louise.

play of the moment of the weekend. >> It was last night. >> Yeah, it was. >> Baltimore Ravens scored a touchdown. there. Henry's back in there. Guy in the. crowd. Swipes, I'm sorry. Dehops catches. the one hand, swipes Dehop's head and. then pushes Lamar Jackson. Larry said, "Get the [ __ ]. >> What are you? >> What world? >> Get your hands off of me." Joining us. now to hopefully explain this. Jeez. Louise. moment uh from last night's senior NFL. insider from ESPN, Adam Shfter.

>> Chefy, you look amazing. Thank you for. waiting alongside of us. We have no idea. how long this segment's going to be. every single week, especially because we. just started it. But that type of. interaction, how do we think the league. plays this out? Do we think they shake. hands, move on, that kid's banned? You. think Lamar high fives? What do you. think happens there? I think it provides. a good time for the league to remind. players not to touch the fans, but. clearly the Bills should be taking. action against that particular fan. because no fan should ever be allowed to. touch a player. They shouldn't be close.

enough to do that. And I don't think. Lamar was right for doing that. I. understand why he did it, but to me, there shouldn't be any discipline. involved here. Everybody's got to keep. their Everybody's got to keep their. hands to themselves. And to me, this. would be a time for the league to send. out a warning reminding players not to. get involved with fans if they can. >> See, on a complete flip side, I wasn't. saying there was anything wrong with. Lamar there. So, this is the nonies. never played again. >> Yeah, we we're going that route again.

>> We're joking. We're joking. We're. joking. But I immediately as soon as I. watch As soon as I watch it, I'm like, >> "Yeah, don't hit my teammate in the. head. Don't hit me in the head." Like. that is literally my first thought. Happy to hear it out of the Bills and. Ravens. Let's move along. Hey, what are. the big storylines coming out of. yesterday that we should maybe pay. attention to, pal? >> All right, Pat, let's rip them off for. you. I think we start with the New York. Giants and the fact that Brian Dable, the head coach, declined to commit to. Russell Wilson as a starting quarterback. after the game despite repeated chances.

to do so. The time to go to Jackson. Dart, the Giants rookie first round. draft pick, is coming. We don't know. whether it's going to be this week, next. week, next month. But make no mistake. about it, Jackson Dart's time as the. starting quarterback of the Giants is. coming. We had a number of notable tight. end injuries. Brock Bowers left the game. with a knee injury that he said after. the game he didn't think was serious. George KD, the great 49ers tight end, left the game with a hamstring injury. early on. Did not return. You would have. to figure that would sideline him for a. little bit here. and the Broncos tight.

end Evan Ingram left the game with a. calf injury. We'll see if he misses any. time and to talk about the entire week. as well. We'll probably hear something. from the NFL today regarding Jaylen. Carter and his spitting incident with. Dak Prescott. We'll see whether the. league decides to take additional. action. Usually in the past, they have. not. They've let the oneame suspension. stand. In this particular case, I think. back to what Troy Vincent, the NFL. executive vice president, told NFL.

executives and GMs and coaches at the. owners meetings in the spring. He said, "We are not going to tolerate anything. that demeans the game. We want only good. sportsmanship and there'll be zero. tolerance involved." We'll see how the. league decides to handle that. And in. regards to tonight's game, the Vikings. and Bears, Harrison Smith did not make. the trip for the Minnesota Vikings. The. Vikings have But the Chicago Bears have. no sympathy for the Vikings because they. have a number of question marks around a.

number of their defensive backs. Jaylen. Johnson listed as questionable. >> Uhoh. >> I don't know that he's going to go. tonight. I have my doubts about whether. he's going to play tonight. Tyler Gordon. put on the injury report with a. hamstring injury. I don't know that he's. going to play tonight. So, the Bears. could be down Jaylen Johnson. They could. be down Kyler Gordon. They could be down. any number of defensive backs as JJ. McCarthy. >> makes his first NFL start. People forget. that he didn't play at all last year. He.

was the only quarterback from the great. class of 2024 that didn't take a snap in. a regular season game. He gets to start. tonight. And Pat, he grew up in Chicago. as a Bears fan. the first ever NFL game. he attended. The very first NFL game. that he ever attended was at Soldier. Field, Bears Vikings. Remember the game. where Adrien Peterson ripped off those. runs as a rookie running back? That was. JJ McCarthy's first game as an NFL fan. tonight. He'll he'll have the. opportunity to go and be the starting.

quarterback for the Vikings. And you. have to figure some young Chicago Bears. fan's going to be going to his first. game tonight. and he'll get to see JJ. McCarthy in uniform against a depleted. Bears secondary. >> Well, shout out to that future JJ. McCarthy that's attending his first ever. game tonight, Monday Night Football. Let's have a good one. Congrats to JJ. McCarthy having this be his debut. What. a magical moment. Honestly, last season. had to suck for him. Obviously, everybody talks about his uber. competitive spirit and his leadership.

abilities. So, having your entire career. basically stop before it can even get. started had to suck. I'm excited to see. what he's able to do with Kevin Oonnell. I'm excited to see what he's able to do. with this offense. Obviously, Justin. Jefferson is absolutely insane on a. football field. He's always open. And. for Caleb Williams, we've seen some. great out of him, right? In the. preseason, there were some great. moments. And then obviously, there is. always going to be negative chatter. until they have some sort of success. Tonight could be a brand new era for. both of these teams. The JJ McCarthy era. potentially begins in a huge way. And.

Ben Johnson, the super genius first time. head coach could kick off in a beautiful. fashion as well. Shfter. Hey, I feel. like we just did the first 15. >> I feel like we just did the first 15. 32. minutes. You know, it's first 15 plays. >> Mhm. Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah, there's a 15-minute clock just uh, you know, on there. >> Sometimes a 15 play drive, you know, might only say 8 minutes, but in real. time that's 35 minutes real time. >> Play time. Yes. That is a good call. >> Some things have a commercial. >> That is a good call. >> We know that. night, right? We're all.

watching the game and I said to my wife, "There's only two minutes left." She. goes, "Oh, yeah. So, it'll be over in, you know, 46 minutes, right?" Yeah, exactly. >> That is, especially if it's a good game. like last night was insane. I mean, they're going to certainly drain some of. those uh commercial opportunities out, which by the way, we all watch Red Zone. or. >> No, it sucked. >> Oh, did it? Wow. Did everybody watch? They're going to show a big decline. icing in Red Zone, dude. huge. >> because the things that I was being told. just me personally for saying that.

>> we do not care meaning we will watch. >> didn't even notice it. >> really. >> who's who's not watching it in the quad. box you just look at something else wing. stuff. >> hey good play by them by the way. >> hey and maybe somebody did look into how. much are those you know just as a nice. little fool I'd rather not commercials. okay but if the NFL is going to utilize. an opportunity to make money. >> We know they're going to do that and we. are going to watch Red Zone Channel.

because it's like the greatest invention. >> in sports television, I think, because. how great it is. And uh to everybody's. point here, we still watch right now. Granted, people watching might not have. And I want to let you know, I appreciate. you taking that stand. >> Hell yeah. >> I do. I do. We need more people like. you. That being said, you missed a great. day on there. >> Fantastic. >> Hey, Scott, >> did you see the behind the scenes. cooking? >> Oh yeah. green screen going nuts. >> Yeah, it's great invention back. >> Yeah, >> great adventure. Speaking of YouTube TV,

New users now, uh pay only. $34.50. per month for your first eight months. >> That's pretty good.

Catch your favorite live NFL. moments with the most live NFL action in. one place. Scan a QR code right now. and choose the plan that's right for. you. >> Good. >> Shout to YouTube TV. Shout to you Shaft.

All right. Let's talk about some other. stories that you did not bring up there. Although a lot of insane Russell, listen, maybe not start this Jackson. Dart time. >> Is that what we're seeing? That's kind. of should be. >> He was iced out. >> He was ready. >> He had it all. >> I mean, I want to see him do good. >> Yes. >> In New York. >> New Jersey, actually. But. >> you get it. >> JJ Watt did a great job. Feathery hair. >> Fantastic choice. >> Let's talk about some other storylines. Go ahead, com man. >> Yeah, Chefy. A few more injuries. happening yesterday. Christian McCaffrey.

not one of those, however, which was. great news. He looked unbelievable. Are. we okay now on the Macaffrey calf? Was. that more of like a throwback joke by. chance? But then also, KD goes down with. a hamstring after scoring a touchdown. What's going on with him? And should we. look for the NerS to be one of those. teams to sign somebody now that KD's. hurt? Uh, well, first of all, that tight end. that replaced him, Jake Tongs, made an. unbelievable catch to help him win that. game. So, I think that they feel pretty. good about their tight ends right now. They signed another tight end from.

Jacksonville during the offseason, Luke. Ferrell or Frell, however you pronounce. the last name. Forgive me for not. getting it maybe right. So, they have. tight ends. They'll make do without KD. And I would imagine with the hamstring. injury, he'll miss some time. Now, Christian McCaffrey, what happened there. was on Thursday, he felt, you know, something in his calf. It it it it. didn't feel right, whether it was a. cramp, whatever it was. They sent him. for an MRI. The MRI came back completely. clean, and obviously it just acted up.

that moment. He took off on Friday. He. himself said it was overblown. Now. again, when you're talking about one of. the elite offensive players in the game. who missed as much time as he did last. year and has what the team is calling a. calf injury, there's nothing that could. be overblown about that. Nothing. But. the fact of the matter is it was not any. type of serious injury at all. He was. ready to go and they had no questions. going into the game. Talking to the. 49ers over the weekend, they're like,

"Nope, he's good to go. Not an issue. He'll be all You don't touch the. football as often as he did yesterday if. it was a major concern. >> Seattle's got a stingy D. >> They do. >> Seattle Seattle Seattle's got a Nobody. talks about him cuz it's so far away. We. apologize. And they're still in. everybody else's eyes nationally, turnover phase with Macdonald out of. Baltimore going over there and then. painting over the walls and Sam Darnold. and everything happening. But watch them. against the Niners and I got high faith. for the um 49ers. Obviously, Perie.

throws a couple bad picks early, you. know, but that's because Seattle's doing. their thing. So, I think we should pay. pay a little bit more respect to the. Seahawks. >> Salah, too. Salah being back. I don't. know if it was just overall sideline. vibes, but him and Shanahan celebrating. together after Bosa's game sealing sack. right here was unbelievable. When you. just look at the NerS coming out and. dominating the Seahawks, >> I mean, that's potentially a touchdown. that Sam Darn right there. And the. Seahawks beat the 49ers week one. and we. are having a very very different. conversation. Instead, the jungle caposa.

closes the game. Congrats to the niners. on a huge win. Also, Seattle Seahawks, I. think, going to be a team I I'm very, very pumped for them. Now, let's go to a. team that a lot of people are out on, but I don't think they should be. They. ran into a juggernaut yesterday in Lucas. Oil Stadium. Miami Dolphins situations. are going to be all brought back to the. surface. Everything we alluded to in the. offseason, as you may be getting. breaking news in time, and I'm just. filling until you you good. Yep. All. right. Sweet. Everything Kendrick. Bourne. Kendrick Bourne to the Niners in. a one-year deal.

>> Okay, that's big news. >> Directly after the question. >> Yes, I got that. >> Yeah. So, uh they are adding a pass. catcher. Okay. Uh. >> which is where he started. Started in. San Fran, went to New England back to. >> looked like they could use it yesterday. >> Thank you for that breaking news there, Chef Dy. >> Hell yeah, Chef. >> And we don't know what we don't know. what other breaking news is going to. come through on this particular. overreaction Monday, but there is one. reaction coming from all of South. Florida, and it's, oh no, we're dead. Now, on that note, Tai has a question. for you, Chef Dy. >> Yeah, Chef. After yesterday, we. basically had the definition of what.

belt to ask looks like after the Colts. beat the hell out of the Dolphins. And. then a lot of people were talking about, you know, Mike McDaniel and um, you. know, Tyreek Hill and the body language. and him being upset because they were. getting killed, he wasn't getting the. ball, etc., etc. Um, are we going to get. like a state of the union on the. Dolphins here? We're talking about teams. in need of pass catchers. Like is Tyreek. Hill going to be traded within the next. few I mean we were we were talking about. it before the show. It just almost makes. sense with Xavier Worthy getting hurt. for the Chiefs too. Like we're going to.

see Tyreek Hill in a Chiefs uniform. within within a few weeks here. >> Whoa, that's a big move. >> I don't know about him going to the. Chiefs and I don't think the Dolphins. are thinking of trading Tyreek Hill now. But if the season continues to go this. way, obviously you'd have to think that. all options will be on the table at that. point in time. They're trying to turn. things around. It's one game on the road. in Indianapolis against a Colts team. that hadn't won an opener in almost. 4,400 days that came in inspired with.

Jim Ers being inducted into the Ring of. Honor. Yeah, I'm just 4,400 days, Pat. Colts came out with the fury of 4,400. days of non-oping wins behind them and. they laid out the Dolphins. So, but the. Dolphins still think they have a good. team. Now, again, it's up to them to go. out and prove it. So, they're not going. to trade away Tyreek Hill now. If they. have more games like that and the losses. start piling up, I think all of us. logically would have to think at that. point in time, you start looking to the.

future. But they're not there right now. after week one. But Tyreek Hill, he has. been missing that big play explosion. It's been exactly a year since he had. his last play of over 30 yards. They. need to get him going. Major weapon and. he Yeah, there it is. >> What? >> Yeah. >> Happy anniversary or unhappy. anniversary. >> It was a leap year though, so maybe we. wait till tomorrow. >> Good point. >> Jeez, I can't believe. >> this guy hasn't had a. >> He's a deep ball guy. >> He was getting cardio.

>> He's still fast. I saw it this summer. >> I I saw him on the field. He was still. fast. I mean, he was still able to move. We caught him, though, I think a couple. times. There was a there was a couple. situations where I didn't think human. was going to get to him and got to him. And him on the sideline, Sheffy, >> he's the he's the number one wide. receiver. They're paying him a lot of. money and they're getting killed. I'm. happy he's upset. That could be much. worse. >> Yeah. >> You know, so like people are trying to. obviously call this a massive crash out. and stuff on the internet. Classic. internet. >> I think this is much better than what it. could have been. And also I like that. he's m like should have been.

>> Yeah. It's been 365. Yeah, since I've. got anything. I I uh I appreciate it. It. did not look good, though. Gumpy, do you. like what Shifty is saying there as a. Dolphins fan? You had a you had a long. day in the Loud House yesterday, Gumpy. Long day out there. >> Yeah, it was by far the worst. performance they've ever had with. McDaniel and Tua healthy by far start to. finish. Tua wasn't even accurate. I've. never seen him look that bad when he. hasn't been hurt. And he was decently. protected. He was top five protected in. the league yesterday. >> Um I appreciate that you stuck in there. though. He did.

>> Yeah. kept sitting in the front row. >> Front row. >> Had his Dolphins gear on. >> Isolated sitting all by himself. Front. row. Everybody saw him and everybody had. something to say. >> Yeah, >> it was a nice walk home yesterday. >> Yeah, I bet it was. >> Was real pumped. >> Very positive. Speaking of a walk home, let's talk about a walk off. Chris. Boswell is an absolute monster. The. Wizard of Bos has been on a heater for. like 10 years. AP Tone, you said just a. couple weeks ago, Cam Hayward. Okay. Chris Boswell, give him whatever the.

hell he wants. If he wants an extra. million dollars, let's do it. Because. the Pittsburgh Steelers from Jeff Reed. until Bond were looking for a kicker. He. has been the guy in a very tough. division with tough stadiums and he very. rarely ever misses. Yesterday 60 yard to. win it. >> Yeah, I looked it up yesterday. I. believe he's the third most accurate. kicker of all time. Uh and it's not. short kicks, it's long ones. Yesterday. had a 56 and a 60 and I believe Sheffy. was on the call when I said pay him 50. million. We looking at a Chris Boswell. pay bump anytime soon? Jeffy, >> he hadn't gotten one going into the. opener. I know he wanted one. I don't.

think he was particularly pleased about. it, but the fact of the matter is that. guy is an incredible kicker. That 60. yard would have been good from it feels. like 70 yards and he's been so accurate. and. >> you see that guy's disposition. He's. he's unbelievable the way he carries. himself. Great kicker. Um. >> I like that. >> Tried to get a raise. Tried to get a. raise. Hasn't gotten the raise. We'll. see if we'll see if the Steelers budget. all there. hits a 60 yard game winner. week one with a whole new team. Probably. gets a raise. >> If I had if I had to guess there was.

going to be some incentive based raises. probably coming out of the bars a little. bit. >> like if he like allegedly had like a. allegedly allegedly allegedly had a tree. company or something like that. Oh, you're talking about like a allegedly. allegedly allegedly like a front. >> like if he started working for Frank. Moraldo's concrete company. >> Which by the way, I do think they need. some good workers because Frank needs to. not be out there pouring concrete every. goddamn day for the rest of his life. >> His knees knees. >> It's a good idea. >> Boswell's boots. >> Something to think about. Perhaps maybe.

he's selling fake shoes allegedly. >> They can find him some money. I I'd. assume I hope they're able to do that. Big win for them. How do you think the. Steelers uh feel about everything they. had going on yesterday? Cam Hayward, Mike Tomlin obviously waiting for Aaron. Rogers. Huge part of the storyline of. the offseason. DK Metaf has a big game. Jaylen Ramsey wins the game for him. I. mean, everything that is. >> John Smith touchdown, >> huge plays out of John Smith. Everything. Arty Smith's offense looking good. I. mean, everything that was talked about. kind of came to fruition yesterday and. they get a huge win. What are your.

thoughts on the Steelers world? You. know, the Steelers won as many games. this season after one game in which they. allowed 30 plus points as they did in. the previous six years. So, they had. gone six years without giving up that. many points and scoring that many points. to win. They won in an unconventional. way. We talked during the off season. about how these were not your father. Steelers. They were going out making. trades, doing deals, making big-time. acquisitions. Like, we never see the.

Steelers act like that. Well, guess. what? We never see the Steelers win. games in shootouts like this the way. that Aaron Rogers did yesterday in New. York against the Jets. Obviously, he. took it personally, but they went 3432. Chris Boswell in the past when some team. has scored over 30 against Pittsburgh, which doesn't happen very much. They. don't score over 30 to win that game. Yesterday was the first time they did. that in seven seasons. So clearly this. team can do it a lot of different ways.

and Rogers is inspired and Jaylen Ramsey. comes up there and lays the wood on. Garrett Wilson to close out the game at. the end of the game. Another one of. those acquisitions and so yeah that. that's a strong start for the Pittsburgh. Steelers. Aaron Rogers showed everybody. he could still play. Um. >> yeah, great great big win for. Pittsburgh. >> Huge win for Pittsburgh. Huge win for. their fans. also respect and love the. fact that Jaylen Ramsay didn't want to. disrespect Tom or the Steelers by taking. his helmet off and getting a 15 yard. there. But also game's over. Yeah. I. just I mean I you saw him for like 10.

yards like ah am I taking this off or. tell you what he flirts with it all game. long. >> and it was disciplined. It was like ah. Keep it on. All right. I'm not happy. about it. Got get. >> cut back and it's gone. >> Yeah. And then gets off the I think I'm. allowed off the Yeah. It was a cool. moment for them. Speaking of cool. moment, had a guy play on both sides of. the ball. How long will it last? What. did it look like? We shall see. Go. ahead, Khan, man. >> Yeah, chef. Travis Hunter was listed as. wide receiver two, I believe, starting.

um and then he played like 10% of the. defensive snaps for the Jags. Weird game. with it being a one:00 start, then it's. delayed. It doesn't really finish till. 5. It was just odd all day. But what did. you think about Travis Hunter? you see. him um kind of going with this route, all offense and then just a little. defense. And also just a PSA to people, stop saying bad things about him because. of the way he looks on the internet. He. his new haircut looks great and uh. Travis Hunter's a great player. We. agree.

>> I saw nice things. It was saw receiver. for the other team. I saw some mean. things, but. >> I've seen only mean about Travis Hunter. on the internet lately. Well, your. algorithm maybe needs to be a little bit. kinder to a guy playing on both sides of. the ball for the first time in the. history of the [ __ ] NFL. >> To be fair, the algorithm is still. throwing 100 on the black. They were. hilarious memes. But I'm just saying. very uncalled for. You should not be. doing that. >> The internet's a creative place. >> Yeah, very. >> Here's what I'd say. The the plan going. in was to have him yesterday as a.

full-time receiver, a situational. defensive back. And that's exactly what. they did. He played regularly at wide. receiver, situationally at cornerback, and there are going to be games this. year where they're going to start him at. receiver and cornerback. Now, there have. been only three players that have done. that in NFL history. Deion Sanders, Champ Bailey, and Antonio Cre starting. games on both sides of the football. Two. of those three are in the Pro Football. Hall of Fame. Travis Hunter is going to. become the fourth one to do it at some.

point this season, but they wanted to. obviously have him involved more so as a. wide receiver to open the season and. they're going to evaluate that on a. week- to-eek basis. We might this week, for instance, get Travis Hunter more as. a defensive back and situationally as a. receiver. It certainly sounds like they. are determined to use him as a receiver. They'll build up his work as a defensive. back, but it's something that they're. going to be deciding on a week-to-eek. basis deciding how to use him. And. again, guy's a great player. They're. going to want him on the football field.

and he'll be out there playing. >> Sean Khan owner is excited for it. >> Yeah. >> Here's him after the big time win for. Liam Con Stoner, Travis Hunter, and the. boys to start the season. >> This is what we envisioned in January. Okay. >> Yes, sir. >> It's happening here in September. gonna. go on forever. >> Yes, >> that's right. That's right. There's a. man that's invested a lot of money in. that team. A lot of money in that team. hoping that they would become good. And.

it's like, you bring Liam Cohen in. there, you got Stoner in there, you. draft Travis Hunter. It's like, are the. Jacksonville Jaguars on the right path? It looks like it at this point. And if. it wasn't an offensive head coach, >> okay, if it was a defensive head coach, I wonder if Travis Hunter DB full-time. >> with a wide receiver on the other side. because Liam Cohen calling plays head. coach. >> Good play call. >> We got a guy who is dynamic as a wide. receiver. >> I'll take him over here. >> Yeah, we certainly would like to have. our side be successful. Now, I'm not. saying that he doesn't want the entire. team to win. He definitely does, but.

it's natural. Like Bruce Arens told us. uh last week, he said that Tom whenever. Tom joined with the Buccaneers, first. time offensive coach as the head coach. So whenever are we thinking about going. for it or are we thinking about doing. this or we think he's like, "Yeah, baby. We're [ __ ] going." Yeah, absolutely. >> Up by 10 in the third quarter expecting. to run it out. >> Yeah, we're taking shots. Yeah. What are. we talking about? >> Yeah, we're talking about points. >> It's like just naturally it's just a. natural different uh viewpoint in it. So. I think they're going to definitely play. them on defense, especially after. Stoner's promo the day after the draft.

But it's like Liam Cohen also like this. guy's a dynamic number one wide receiver. too. Let's not lose our minds. >> And you got Trevor Lawrence there who. you already paid. You drafted number. one. This is a big year for him. But. you're Liam Cohen. You chose that job. Like this is a quarterback that you want. to give all the resources and everything. uh you know to put him in a position to. succeed. But talking about uh Travis. Hunter, another wide receiver, I know. Tai mentioned Tyreek possibly going back. to Kansas City. Big injury there with. Xavier Worthy week one getting knocked.

out of the game pretty early on with his. shoulder. Any update there? What's going. on with Xavier Worthy and his shoulder? >> I think he's probably going to miss a. little bit of time here. He'll probably. be week to week with that dislocated. shoulder. Obviously went down there, went out of the game, did not come back. They sent him for tests and they don't. think it's too bad, too serious, but it. does look like he could miss a little. bit of time here. So, you have no um. Xavier Worthy right now. Rasheed Rice. misses the first six games. So, they're. a little short-handed there right now.

with some of their playmakers at the. wide receiver position in Kansas City. And by the way, they have the Eagles. coming in on Sunday. >> and that'll be an interesting little. matchup there. >> Uh, last question here. Definitely an. interesting little matchup there. >> Hey, Chiefs, I still believe. >> Me, too. >> Justin Herbert looked unbelievable. >> Yeah, he rolled through that. >> He was unbelievable. And Philadelphia. Eagles coming up next. Okay, they're. they look good, too. Yeah, they got some. questions in the corner. >> Okay, so let's hope that Pat Mahomes and. the boys go ahead. But I'm a believer in.

the Chiefs if Travis is playing. >> And the reason why that happened at. Xavier Worthy is because Travis is a. moving freight train. >> Mhm. >> And he got blindsided there out of. nowhere. I mean, that is. >> Darwin James great reap. >> Well, it felt like it was a little made. pass. That first five yards are alive. It seemed like they were getting a. little hat. >> And also Travis Kelce gets punched in. the mouth. Now that was. >> that was first of all an incredible open. hand punch. >> Yeah, tart. >> I will say that's a talented palm to the. face. >> Did you know that open hand slaps are.

okay? Apparently I heard that from the. uh rules um guy. I'm not I don't know. who it was. But. >> that was a terrible thing to say. publicly. It was not Mr. Beast. >> He owns the Does he still own the. league? >> I think it was just for that first night. on YouTube, which by the way, congrats. to YouTube getting an NFL game. We are. very pumped. Uh YouTube has never viewed. us as YouTubers. We built our entire. business on YouTube, >> which I appreciate now. >> Yeah, we are very thankful that they. haven't. But we are uh very pumped that. YouTube's getting into the NFL. Like. very very pumped about that. YouTube's.

platform. >> is awesome. I mean literally it it's for. creators, it's for entrepreneurs. It's. for it's a great platform and it's. obviously worldwide why Google pretty. big, you know. So I'm happy that they're. dabbling into the NFL and into live. games. Uh yeah, they got it off the. ground. There was no I didn't see any he. none of that. Right. >> No. Nope. >> That's what I'm talking about, dude. That's what I'm talking about. Tonight, you rattled off a bunch of things we. need to think about. A bunch of people. not playing. >> Daraw, Jaylen Johnson, Gordon Gordon. >> Anybody else? Chefy or what?

>> Well, I mean, the Vikings are missing. Harrison Smith, they're missing some. guys. Obviously, Jordan Addison is. suspended for three games. This will be. the first of three games that he misses. They're getting back their wide. receiver. Yeah, they're getting back. Jaylen Naylor who had a hand injury in. camp. He'll be out there tonight. Adam. Thielen returns to the lineup tonight. for the Vikings. Again, >> a lot a lot of positions in flux. There's the injury report that they put. out this past week. So, um both teams. have some obstacles to overcome tonight.

in the opening Monday night game of the. year. >> Yeah, but you'll get through all those. obstacles and let us know what the hell. they're battling. And we appreciate. that, Shy. You're the man. >> Did that work out for you the 90. seconds, Pat? We good there? >> I think it was good. Yeah, we're trying. to put this first 15 together cuz I. think it's a good idea cuz all of our. podcasts are only two and a half to. three hours. >> Okay. So, that's a really long time for. people to commit to. So, I've tried to. like let's just hit a first like little. quick little weekly wrap-up and that. kind of sets the tone for everything. else and then we can kind of sprinkle in. whatever we missed. Yeah, you are you.

play a vital part of that. So, I. appreciate you doing that. >> It's an honor. I appreciate it. Thank. you for having me today and uh enjoy the. game tonight. >> Yeah, but what what you did today means. nothing for next Monday. Yeah. Forget. it. >> That's for all of us. >> Hey, >> that's all. >> Exactly. That's That's the That's the. way the league operates. That's the way. it works, right? >> 100%. >> Yeah. >> Got to prove Got to prove yourself again. next week. >> Not just next week. >> Today, today. >> Week after. >> Next post. >> Week after. >> Next week, next day, next minute, next. word. >> Yeah. >> Yeah.

>> And that's what you've done for so long. We appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. Adam Sher, >> I got a question for you. Why was the first 15 32 minutes? >> No. No. No. We explained. We already. went over that. >> I think most of us Yeah. understand. that. Uh are you surprised that Sean Cod. did a uh kind of like a wrestling promo. to celebrate the win just cuz kind of. takes away from, you know, Liam Cohen's. first victory. >> All right. Okay. Okay. >> That's my favorite video of all time. I'm not kidding. Yeah,

>> that was my first time. >> Forever. >> Yeah. >> Forever. >> Think about he he built two pools. >> Oh, yeah. in the stadium just to give. people like okay you don't want to watch. our team play [ __ ] come have a pool day. okay on a Sunday we'll have the best. pool in the city. >> 20 bucks all you can eat. >> please come just what he has done. everything he possibly could pay whoever. new coach you want to build a new city. I'll build a new city everything he he. has commit Sean Khan. >> since when we were playing against him.

and he took over. >> it's like he is clearly just like I. would like this team to be good and for. whatever ever reason it just has not one. reason after another whatever it is and. their fans. >> it's hot as [ __ ] down there for a large. portion of the day then it gets a little. chilly towards the end but towards the. end of the seasons a lot of them they. have like really not much to show up and. they are menaces their fan bases are. menaces their fan base is menaces so. it's like. >> I got a lot of respect for what's going. on down there but I don't think anybody. ever really takes the Jacksonville.

Jaguars seriously and Shod Khan has been. fighting that for a long time if the. Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Colts in a. season, people celebrate it. Like that. is what they're aiming for. If they were. to win win down there, like they were so. close to with Blake Bortles and then it. all kind of fell apart. If they were to. win down there, I think Shan Khan would. be uh deserving of quite a hate. Way to. go, buddy. you've really gone all in in. this. >> But also, we need those videos every. single week now cuz now all I'm thinking. about and I hope this isn't the case, but like now I kind of want to see the. Jags get beat by five touchdown just to.

see him come in and see and see what he. says cuz that's that's must brought back. wrestling promos to sports. >> I I'm glad for it, too. >> Yeah, it was good. Jacket was sweet, too. >> Jacket was sweet. Yeah. But to Tai's. point, him boozed up after a loss. Holy. hell. >> Yeah, wrestling promos are good. That's. normally what uh. >> Yeah, we we know forever. >> Yeah, >> let's get to a break. >> Come on, dude.

>> Freaking set you up there. >> Yeah, but Coach Corso got some of the. best promos in the history of sports. >> Those are head gear picks, I thought. That's different. >> We'll see you on the other side. See you. then. >> Is close to a million in prizes. Maybe. we'll break that today. over a million. to charity for a total of over $2. million given away. I got a feeling you. might have somebody with a leg pat. trying to take some more of your money. >> Yeah, Ree, I appreciate you saying that. it's my money. My wife, my daughter, and. my mom are happy to hear that.

reiterated. Uh I think it's very clear. that no business would actually sign up. to give away $250,000. Jack, uh what. year are you here at Oklahoma? >> Freshman. >> You're a freshman. Okay. >> You're from Houston. What's your major. here? >> Accounting. Okay. So, it's gonna be. tough to count all the dollars if you. make this kick. Have you ever kicked. before? >> I did one time. It was kickoff in a JV. game. >> How was it? Was it terrible? Did you. kick it out of bounds? Sucked. It. sucked. I like that. >> He came prepared. >> Look at this. Brock Cle,

what is your mindset as you go? >> I'm clearminded. I've been listening to. a lot of music, so I'm locked in right. now. >> Who you listening to? >> Uh Frank Ocean. >> All right. Why don't we up this to uh. $200,000 to you? and we'll keep the $100,000 donation for. the light beneath the well uh that. obviously the Michigan player is doing. to make the world better. Michigan. Oklahoma potentially coming together. You're a lefty here. Okay. If Ernest. Houseman can dig some wells, you can.

somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat and. hit a 30-yard field goal. Not only for. your bank account, you accountant, but. also for the world. Come on, Jack. [Applause].

So much fun. >> All right, let's go again. [Applause]. Jack, come here. Jack. Jack. Jack. Just. Jack. >> Oh [ __ ]. Okay. All right. Okay. >> Look at that swing. >> Unbelievable. >> Jack uh upset the week.

>> Jack, come here, buddy. >> The scouting report did not have that. going through. >> Okay. So, it was a $100,000 ticket. >> Son of a [ __ ]. >> It ends up being 200,000 to you, hundred. to Ernest Houseman's The Light Beneath. the Well, $550,000 in total over the. first two weeks. Jack, >> congrats, dude. That was unbelievable. >> I can't believe you hit that. >> It was all worth it. Bringing the. cleats, doing the whole thing. >> How close did that come?

>> Two yards. >> Two yards. You cleared it by. Congrats, Jack. Let me sign this check. What a. magical morning here in North. Thank. you, Ruby.

something nice could change their life. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble the boat the thunder on. this overreaction Monday September 8th. 2025 hour two of the program begins now. football. >> these magical the toxic tables here at. Boston Connor and at Tai Schmid Patriots. then uh probably May's really good I do. think the Raiders are worth talking.

about they Gino looked fantastic. Fantastic. Pete Carol in his debut, the. defense, G&T looked the part, Bowers, their offense. I mean, the whole nine. >> Yeah. But the thing you said was, "Hey, if we talk about the Patriots Raiders, uh, there's one thing that really needs. to be talked about, and you said exact. words, Max Crosby just just wrecks the. the entire thing.". >> Yeah, he's a huge [ __ ] I mean, just. just not having him on your team is one. of those things. And I'm sure it's like. how Tai felt with Micah. Like, if you.

have one of those guys, it must feel. great watching him because he's always. there. I mean, the interception Drake. May threw there. Max Crosby in his face. The reason, you know, May can't step up. is because Max Crosby's a freak of. nature. I mean, Will Campbell solved, but if you're going to have a, you know, a rookie tackle out there, you you're. probably going to have a little bit of a. problem when when Max Crosby's there. And then it's it's more so the. extracurriculars too. Like, hey man, you. don't got to be a prick. You don't have. to talk. >> No, he kind of I know. But as a when.

you're playing him, it's like, "Hey, dude, relax." Like, "Hey, we have you.". Does he know Bubby Spain's on the. Patriots now? You know, he he likes Bob. Spalain. I know he does. But then here. we go. He's basically, you know, getting. in May's head. I I'm I wouldn't be. surprised. >> Was that on Netflix quarterback? >> Yeah, him and Mahomes. Mahomes was. actually talking about it like this guy. >> every time we play him. It's just got to. be something every time. And they have. respect for each other and it's almost. as if Mahomes just knows this is how he.

is and Max goes, "Ah, sorry.". >> Yep. >> It's just kind of way it is. That's his. style of football. >> Perfect Raider. >> It's amazing. >> Gino Smith, perfect Raider at this stage. of his career. Pete Carol, perfect. Raider at this stage of his career, which is crazy to think about because he. was the Hey, Will Ferrell's coming by. practice USC guy. Then he gets kicked. out of Seattle and it's like, is Pete. Carol the perfect guy for this Las Vegas. Raiders atmosphere and culture right. now? Tom Brady, new ownership. He wanted. to be a Raider. John Gruden said, "Nah, we're going to stick with Derek Carr. Sorry about it." So, he's got a little. chip on his shoulder as well. It seems.

like a really And then Chip Kelly. sitting there at offensive coordinator, has been a head coach before in the NFL, obviously with the Philadelphia Eagles. Didn't go anywhere near how everybody. planned, but he's still a damn good. football coach. goes back into college. with the Ohio State Buckeyes just as a. coordinator as opposed to being a head. coach like he was at UCLA, wins a. national championship immediately. Uh. it's like they got a lot of big brains. over there and a lot of experienced. dudes with chips on her shoulder and. Brock Bowers exists. >> He's unbelievable. Best tight end of the. week. >> and he's a dog.

>> He is. >> Brock Bowers is a very good tight end. >> But we got one here, bro. >> Tyler. Tyler Ward. >> He's on his heels. >> He's this year's Brock Bars without a. doubt. >> Yeah. See, >> wait. We haven't seen Lovelin play yet. >> True. True. Michigan obviously created. an incredible one in love. >> Yeah, we've seen Caleb Butt. >> No, we haven't. >> Johnson. >> No, we haven't. >> Yeah, my bad. My bad. >> That's nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler. Debbut's big story coming out of. the weekend is not the Raiders uh being. potentially back and Pete Carol being.

the oldest winning head coach in NFL. history. And if he was to lose the game, he'd be the oldest losing head coach in. NFL history. He's oldest coach in NFL. history. Pete, you're a dog, dude. >> Looks great. >> Looks great. Still spinning it, too. Still spinning it at training camp. Uh, him having to find this whole new. motivation, I assume, wasn't that. difficult. But then whenever he gets. kicked out, whenever he says, "I fought. for the job." He went in there for like. an hour with his resume, all of his. championships at every different level. everything he's accomplished, especially.

whenever he's been in Seattle and helped. build that entire Seahawks place. Him. going in there for an hour and pitching. for his job and then getting kicked out. Is that the first time Pete Carol in a. long time has been told, "No, you're not. good enough." So then he's away and then. he comes back. It's like what a perfect. storm brewing for that Raiders team. And. let's not even talk about Gino Smith. Same exact situation in multiple. different stops. he chooses to go to the. Raiders over the Seattle Seahawks, but. allegedly the contract offer that. Seattle Seahawks gave was like not. something that Gino Smith would ever. take at this stage. So, it's like maybe.

that type of motivation and drive is. something that could bring them all. together, debut, is that a story line. that's not being talked about or what is. something else you think that we should. definitely chat about? >> I mean, I think that's that's definitely. a good story line. Definitely potential. there. Uh Raiders, they kind of always. take on that mindset of their. personality is is them against everyone. else. So, you got guys um you know, from. the head coach position on down who feel. that way. Uh but uh let's see. Biggest. story for me, I mean, I I got to start. right here with the Colts like that was. a big story line in the offseason.

talking about the quarterback. competition, Daniel Jones. Could he be. the next Sam Darnold? Could he be the. next Baker Mayfield? Could it be the. next Gino Smith where you're finding. your footing in a new spot and you. couldn't have asked for a better start. for the team as a whole? Offensively, of. course, but defensively even almost. pitching a shut out with that explosive. uh Miami Dolphins offense. Uh it it was. very very impressive all the way around. You guys were actually in the building, so you felt the vibes, you felt the. atmosphere. We know it was for Jim, for. Boss Man as well, but it was just an. amazing start for a fan base who has.

been yearning for this for a long, long. time. >> Energy through the roof. Yeah. >> Energy through the roof in there. And. also new playlist. >> soundtrack. >> Yeah, we got a new playlist in there. New music. >> New DJs. >> Yeah, we're swag and surfing in there. too a couple different times. I mean, we. uh. >> we which that Auburn video, >> a great video. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. The boys, the lads. That song will. hit forever. >> A lot of great videos this weekend from. the college. >> Mo Bomba. Moamba will hit forever. >> Awesome. >> Swag Surf will hit forever. >> Levels of Vichi.

>> will hit White Stripe Seven Nation Army. will hit. These are just things. >> Yeah. Yeah. I think that is certainly in. there. >> Doohost Dooh. >> I don't know if Doohost has carried over. to the next generation, but if they were. reintroduced to it, I think they would. uh they would certainly enjoy that. >> Yeah. There's a couple songs that hit. all the time. That is one of them. Uh I. appreciate the fact though that um Tom. Brady's ownership uh is going to lead to. them winning. >> Yeah. >> Like of course it is, you know, and that.

just kind of how it's how it all goes. And they're talking about how hands-on. he is. Hey, he's talking about. everything with everybody. He's hands-on. in there. Mark Davis got to think to. himself, I'm a genius. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> He's got his little backpack on. >> Yep. >> Got his house built. >> Got his house built. He's maybe got the. IRS off his ass cuz he had him on them. for a while. >> And then all of a sudden, he brings Tom. Brady and Tom's like, "How about for a. very small percentage of this entire. thing? >> I just got to do everything I think. you're supposed to do." Mark Davis goes, >> "Sounds good. >> I can play Pokemon all day.". >> Yeah. >> He's not playing Pokemon. If that's the.

case, sure you're Tom. I I got to beat. the new Pokemon. Uh you. >> think about him being like some sounding. board for Tom though. Now Tom, remember. whenever my dad was Bubba or whenever I. was a young owner, this whole thing. happened. What a great spot. >> Tom, is he that hands- on yet? I mean, because. season, we know Monday through Saturday, but we know he's his day job now where. he's in the booth and he's on site with. these other uh teams, you know, calling. big time games. So he's not, you know, he's not boost on the ground like Carly. would head. He's not boo on game day.

>> Not game day. No, >> you know, he's not up in the Jerry Jones. type street. So I I do wonder how long. can he, you know, stay in this role and. if things, let's say, not aren't going. great. They all want to know right now, but let's say things start going not so. good. Does he ever think I know he's. getting paid [ __ ] ton of money too to do. his job, but does he ever say you know. what I am going to focus and keep the. main thing the main thing and become. more of a boots on the ground game day. owner? >> What is it 37 million a year or. something like that have three years?

He's getting better. He's getting a He. was really good. Like I listened to a. good bit of his yesterday. It was really. good. >> Yeah, we assume Tom Brady's going to be. good at everything. Y uh being an owner. in the NFL as well. And thank you for. bringing up. >> he's not boots on ground with a headset. on. >> Sure. There's also a new tradition. I. don't know if you knew what your owners. do. I don't know what everybody else's. owners do. Carly Ers, she's running the. length of the field one time before the. game starts. >> Love it. >> She wants to feel it. >> Wow. >> That's what it's all about. >> I love it. That's awesome. Sorry. What? >> That That's it. That I mean that's.

>> She gave a speech at halftime. Awesome. She gave a speech at halftime. The. microphone was high cuz Payton was. talking and she walks up. She goes, "Oops." Like he even acknowledges it. Drops it down. Just like so comfortable. I'm telling you, I appreciate like. they're very much accountability driven. here. Like they are. >> there's attention to detail. It is. It. very much is. And I think everybody. appreciates it actually. I think like uh. the Colts, the building, the equipment. managers, the trainers, the staff, the. marketing, everybody like that. Like I. think there's a a little bit more of.

like they're doing their way obviously, but they've grown up in it. Y So they. literally know all these people that. have worked in a cult since they're. little kids. So it's like, "Hey, how do. I make your life easier? Also, how do we. do this?" It's like I think they're. doing a great job legitimately and uh. obviously I know them but it's like I. you can feel it like you you can really. feel like it feels like it is a little. bit more of a uh uh I don't want to say. a tightness but a sense of urgency. Yeah. There does feel like there's a. sense of urgency like change could be. around a corner if we don't do our [ __ ]. Like it does feel like that from a.

crowds uh standpoint from a team. standpoint. The way they played. certainly looked vastly different. >> like a stern but fair almost like they. don't want to go on to the next era like. it's not like they you know are want. stiking out or Ballard out. I don't it. didn't feel like that was the vibe. It's. more so like hey you either win or you. lose and then we have to do our job cuz. your job is to win and you guys have. been losing and our job is to basically. make changes if you continue to lose. And it didn't feel like there was a hey,

you know, third and five, maybe Stiken's. a little too nervous to call a certain. play. Like it feels like they've. empowered all the right people. And. that, you know, goes to the Raiders, too. Like, sure, Brady isn't boots on. the ground, but that's why he hired Pete. Carol cuz he knows Pete Carroll has been. through, you know, NFL seasons, has been. through NFL seasons where you go all the. way to the Super Bowl and knows how to. manage that. And that's probably why Tom. doesn't, you know, feel the need. And. then to your point about P Carol kind of. he he's never really been kicked out of. the building. I believe probably the.

last time he got kicked out of the. building was New England when he was the. head coach in New England which adds a. whole another thing uh to the weekend. cuz I didn't think about that. I think. most people were thinking hey McDaniels. you know he got kicked out of the. Raiders building. This is great you know. he gets to come back in the NFL and this. is his first game. Whereas Pete Carol is. the real one that got kicked out I think. it was 96 before that. >> before he went to USC. >> Yeah before he went to USC. Yeah, Benitary was on that team, I think. >> Bingo. Yes. >> And then there. >> Parcels for a second and then Bellich, I. think.

>> Yeah. All right. He worked out at USC. They try to bring a lot of penalties on. They worked out. >> That's right. >> And he goes to Seattle. Worked out. And. then he gets to the Raiders after. getting kicked out of Seattle and goes. just you can kind of check. I I don't. want to be the one that says this, >> but I win. That's what I do. I I win. That's I've done it for like 20 years. That's what I do. I win. And it's like I. believe them. >> and uh good on them having a great. weekend. Nobody as good a weekend as the. Bills. >> Oh no. >> What a win for the Buffalo Bills in the. fourth quarter. Josh Allen puts on a. Superman cape and does his thing in.

front of a home crowd that wasn't. completely filled in the stadium. >> No, not at all. >> Cuz they fell asleep about the same time. that I did and said, "We got to get out. of here. We got work in the morning.". You know, Buffalo Bills, that's a. working That's a working world. That's. right. >> You know, it's late night and you're. going to play like this. Okay. I got to. go to bed. I got work in the morning. >> Wow. >> These tickets don't pay for themselves. M they had to go do that. Great fan. base. >> It was late. >> It's week one. I don't want to hear that.

it's late. If it's week 12 and they're. down and they already have 10 wins, fine. It's week one. Shut up and sit the. [ __ ] down and watch the game. >> That's a Patriots fan. Okay. He's going. to be jaded towards bottles of people. >> That's the Dolphins. He's gonna be jaded. towards Bill. >> I would have been out of there so. quickly. No way. >> I like it. You much rather go home and. and hear, "Holy [ __ ] we won 4140." than. to sit there and watch beat 4125. Yes, >> you have Josh Allen. >> You have Josh MVP week one.

>> We got Danny D. I'm going to let you. know I got out of here before that game. and just by 25. There's There's 12. minutes left. You seen your team lose. with 13 seconds. You don't think that. you can just sit around for a little. >> now on that. >> Wow. >> Bill's Mafia is going to show up and. show everywhere they go. >> Not true anymore. >> Yeah, it is true. you're a Patriots fan, you're a Dolphins fan. Uh but what Josh. Allen did at the end of the night, obviously spectacular and a great way to. kick off this NFL season as a whole was. a prime time game. Hopefully Vikings. Bears delivers tonight as well. But. Tone, nobody had as good of a weekend as.

sports books. >> Sports books started out swinging. They. came out swinging. I mean, there were. some heavy heavy bets and seemingly all. of them had red X's next to them. Tone, how did the sports books do and what. does this mean for the rest of the. season? >> Yeah, let's just start just for the year. as a whole. Um, in general, NFL week. one, the top five most bet on teams went. 1 and4 against the spread. College. football week two, the top five bet on. teams went 1 and4 against the spread. And then last week, college football. week one, the top five bet on teams went.

0 and5 uh against the spread week one. So, what is that? Uh, two and 13 to. start the year for most five bet on. teams to per week. So, not a good start. And then um what do people bet on? Overs. or under normally? >> Overs. We like football. >> Hunders went 12 and three this weekend. So, I would say a lot of people are. getting uh kicked on the shins to start. the year. Um, but I did see a lot of. tickets on the internet last night. The. Ravens Bills game saved a lot of people. because a lot of people were buttoning. touchdowns and they were like, "Oh, who's going to score? Josh Allen, Lamar.

Jackson, Derrick Henry, all those people. scored.". >> Let's go to the other half of the hammer. Cowboys. Uh, Bubba Gumpino. Obviously, the Fins had you in misery at the Loud. House Lucas Oil Stadium, but you hit a. massive one last night, right? Yeah, me. and Connor uh had a little FaceTime, put. together a couple touchdown parlays. We. had Derrick Henry for two, Josh Allen. for two parlay, and then I had a Kinc. Kade, Dehop, Lamar, and Josh Allen for. three grand. >> Okay. Gosh, see you in the field. >> Oh yeah, >> it's a nice evening. Following me. >> also with these public phone.

>> Keep it private. Don't tell anybody. Good job. >> Yeah. Well, you know, we throw those out. there a lot, but again, when you're. throwing out plus 100,000 bets, typically on a rare occasion, you're. coming in pumped on Sunday. Uh, but at. some point, we have to remember there. will come a week. >> where the public goes five of five. >> Yep. >> And there'll be a 90% public bet that. hits. Exactly. And we don't know when. it's going to be. It's not often, but it. will at some point. So, if it looks too. obvious, it might be. Mhm. >> Now granted on the other side of that,

>> sports folks are throwing. >> a lot of this is. >> throwing some real heat right now. >> People are very very confident earlier. in the year on what they think even. though they haven't seen anything yet. and they go hard on it and it turns out. that you know a lot of these bad teams. aren't as bad as people think and a lot. of the good ones aren't as good as. people. >> That's what coach Sabin said after his. first game at Michigan State. The other. coach team came over to him after they. lost 559 say you're not as bad as you. think. >> and he said I remember that forever and. they weren't. No, >> they certainly look terrible though. And. I'll tell you what, speaking of looking.

not good or as Reh Davis said, ungood. the other day. >> Got a pretty good pop out of me there. Uh that Ohio University Bobcat team with. Navaro quarterback. >> Good team. >> Yeah, kids got. >> They might make the college football. playoff that they should. >> They're a good team. Is a dog. >> They had us completely in in shambles. out there, too. >> Electrifying. >> A lot of more a lot of West Virginia. fans there. Yeah, but but also a lot of. Bobcats, they've been really hard on our. >> team. Mac, right? Mac, >> Ohio. >> Yeah, but they won.

>> They're MAC champions. Have a little. respect. They're MAC champ. >> No, I just want to know what. >> these guys have won the title. >> The Ohio Bobcats are the Bama. Okay. Of. the MAC. It's not. >> right now. Definitely. And there's a. chance they make college football. playoff. >> There's a chance they. >> in a conference. Dut. >> Yeah, it's true. It's true. >> To be fair, uh, West Virginia loses to. Ohio. Not fun. That was not cool. Next weekend. was about to be electrifying. With that. being said, still part of the process. building a hard lot of turnover and also.

Ohio University really good team. >> Yeah, good football team. >> If Syracuse would have beat Ohio. University by seven, I uh I don't think. Fran Brown has the boys running sprints. >> They only beat Yukon by seven. Fran. Brown says while these fans are in here, they need to know that we're not happy. about this on the line. That's what. happens against Yukon. Now [ __ ]. West Virginia there. >> Oh, look at me. I'm a tough coach. I. would have run my team after the game in. their pants. >> No, >> we pissed down our leg. We should have. won that game. We had it all all game. long. Tricked it off. But yeah, this is.

cute. I'm glad you lost some practice. time. >> Yeah. Did you guys Did you guys ever. have to do this? >> No. Okay. Okay. >> That's not really. >> not in the NFL. I mean, like West. even. figured yes for a rich run at some. point. I like that Fred Brown said you. were either uh coaching or alive. >> He drove. >> I like Fred Brown too, but it's. [ __ ]. >> He said there's this it's my job to make. these guys the best men they could. possibly be. His his promo was actually. like these dudes are going to be.

fathers. They're going to be husbands. and I can't let them slide on yada yada. It was like a really good speech. afterwards and I was like all right, I. respect that. And then I watched the. video again. I'm like those guys I don't. know if that point's going to get across. in that moment. I don't know that's. going to be the case. joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is college. football national champion, Super Bowl. champion, and a runner cup winner, AJ. Hawk. >> AJ, you ever run sprints after a game. while the folks are still in the. stadium? >> Uh, no. I cannot say I have. Maybe in. like fifth grade, I think we did a. couple times when the coach was really. pissed, but it's usually after a loss.

You usually don't win and grand stand on. them in the spring. >> Well, if you only beat Yukon by seven. >> Grand stand. Yep. >> That's exactly. 20s. Run some hard 20s here, right? Yeah, but it looks like some of them are. only running 15. So, are we even get a. point across? You know, we finishing. through the line anyways. Is anybody. starting off sides? >> I assume somebody they're rolling start. left center there about L5, L4. >> Do you appear to have a lot of snaps? Who scored the game winner cuz whoever. scored the game would have done. >> I assume the offensive line is going to. be somewhere in the back of.

>> Peanut Butter and Jelly Steve Angel who. scored the game winner potentially. >> He's a dog. Syracuse Orange obviously. >> OT overtime. >> Yeah. Yeah. Syracuse Orange and the Fran. Brown era have been good. Have been. good. Will they continue to get better. after this? And AJ, maybe more teams. need start throwing this. We'll see. We'll see. Dan Campbell, >> didn't Dan Campbell when he became the. interim head coach of Miami? Didn't. something happen? >> He like had him doing one-on-one. >> He did like he did like Oklahoma drill. for a long time. I think day one, right? >> And sprints. I think I I think he had. him doing sprints in practice and I.

think there was like Oklahoma's in a. pregame. It was like week 13 their. season was already over and all this. stuff was happening. That was the only. line coach's suggestion, I think. >> Yeah, there was a Yeah, there was. something. Oh, yeah. He was juiced up. >> Let's get fired up today, boys. >> All right, let's talk about the Detroit. Lions. Uh, since we are kind of just. slowly, easily transitioning into that. situation. Obviously, the Packers are a. team. Okay, Michael Parsons comes in. there 40ome% of the snaps, gets a sack.

at the end, obviously has a new. celebration, opens up for everybody. Jordan Love looked good. defense looked. good. Lambo was electrifying. And the. Detroit Lions, somebody that you thought. you'd be competing with the NFC North. with, obviously seemingly gonna have a. little bit of a tough start uh to this. new coordinator era that they have over. there. What is your big takeaway as the. all-time leading tackler for the Green. Bay Packers, AJ Hawk? >> I mean, my takeaway is this Packers. defense. Obviously, the offense did. everything they needed to win, but this. defense was awesome. I mean, we know the. impact Micah had, but I think everybody.

else stepped up. And it's easy to say, "Oh, Micah opens it up for all these. other guys." And yeah, he definitely. does. But I think it it brought everyone. on the defense like it it brought him up. to another level and Micah barely even. played. So imagine when Micah is. actually a huge part of the game plan. But man, Edin Cooper, Klay Walker, like. these these guys can fly all over the. place on the Packers defense. I love. watching them play. >> What do you think about um Jordan Love? What do you think about the the team as. a whole? Do you think there was good. situational management out of the floor? Do you think the dominating win? That. was a strike right there. He threw a.

couple of those over this middle that. were obviously thrown to a spot. Not to. a person, thrown to a spot. His. receivers went and got it. Showed. incredible arm talent. What do you think. about everything else about managing and. handling the game? >> Oh, I thought it was great. I mean, especially week one, that's all you can. ask for. Sometimes it can get clunky and. can not not look uh as crisp as you. wanted to, but I think especially with. how young they are that we hear them. talk all the time how young the roster. is, but the fact that they look good and. I mean just I'm a bit biased. I was in. Green Bay for 9 years, but Green Bay,

like when the sun is setting, when it. looks like this, the setting, everything. about it, it's a magical experience. I. think that came through the TV. Like, it. would have been an awesome day to be at. Lambe. >> I think so, too. And it sucks for the. Lions fans who've had such a high for. the past couple years that they're maybe. going to go through another little. transition phase here as you're trying. to recycle everything. Go ahead, D. AJ's. point, man, that that Packers defense, that was the thing I was most impressed. about because when you think about Lions. football, you think about them start I. know flashy gadgets golf makes great. throws, but you think about the line of. scrimmage of being able to run the ball.

They could not run the ball at all from. the beginning. I think Gibbs ended up. like 20 yards rushing like to be and. then Gibbs had I think 10 catches for. like 31 yards. So that lets you know how. how these guys are flying around. attacking, tackling, getting guys to the. ground, not allowing a bunch of yaks. So. Jeff Hafley, the job that he's done on. that defensive side of the ball. Jordan. Love has been has been a very good. quarterback for a couple years now. Matt. Laflur, we know who he is offensively as. far as play calling goes. But this. defense, man, they showed they showed up. and showed out for sure week one.

>> Yeah. Worrying about the run defense, there was a stat from NFL Pro after the. game, it said of the Lions 22 carries, 16 of them, the Packers hit them in the. back field. >> That's crazy. Like so that and which is. like in year I mean the the last game. last year uh late in the season you know. it was in Detroit close game but that. like the Lions kept going for it on. fourth down kept getting it they rushed. for 250 I think Gibbs and Montgomery. both had over a 100. So yeah hearing all. this stuff about Micah can't play the. run like and and just the Packers in.

general and then for them to come out. and have that type of performance it was. incredible. >> Let's stay in the NFC. Jaden Daniel is. the real deal. >> Holy hell. Hey, this guy, the sophomore. slump. I don't think so. I I I don't. think there's going to be one of those. for Jaden. On the run, on a dime, in. rhythm, on time. I mean, everything. yesterday looked like they just picked. up right where they left off for the. Commanders. Cliff Kingsbury obviously. another year there. Could have maybe. interviewed for some head coaching jobs, decides to stay. Debo Samuel gets a tud.

in his debut with the Washington. Commanders. AJ, it looks like they're. not just a flash in the pan. Looks like. this is uh for real over in Washington. DC, Virginia, Maryland area. >> Yeah, I feel like especially that Z. touchdown early, you know, like all. right, these guys, they must be feeling. pretty good about themselves. How about. Bobby Wagner leading the team in tackles. still like this dude's been playing. forever at the highest level. Like I. love watching these guys, Devin White. with the Raiders. All these I know I'm. not talking about the Raiders right now, but I'm thinking of these older veteran. linebackers that are playing very well. And Debo, you know, they want to get. Debo going early because if you if not,

they have to answer questions. Hey, how. are you going to work Debo into this. offense? what do you do with all the. talent you have around him? And they had. a nice little balance mixture. So Cliff. is Cliff is feeling himself a little bit. I think as a play call right now. >> And the Mike the question for me is like. we knew the offense was going to be. pretty good. The defense only gave up. six points. Like the defense was was. always going to be the question. Yes, they have Bobby Wagner who is one of the. greatest linebackers of all time, but. they're older. Um. six points to a Giants team who yes has. offensive question marks, but six points.

to any NFL team is a great defensive. performance. And I thought that was like. that was questions answered on the. defensive side. >> Russ was 17 for 37. I don't you know. whatever you think about Russ, he's a. good quarterback. He's been around for a. long time. They named the starter for a. reason. We'll see how long he actually. starts. But yeah, to to hold a. quarterback 17 to 37 is tough. Getting. uh um Samuel Debo involved early on was. a big deal. Was a little off with Terry. McLaren, which we kind of expect. It was. a deep shot that he kind of overthrew. him on, but you could tell it was still. good vibes there. And Jaden is just he's.

a great. >> lasers, dude. Yeah, >> lasers from the pocket, outside of the. pocket, and when he takes off the run, he is so fast. Like he was like jogging. past some of these linebackers and DBs. They're cooking up something special up. there at DC for sure. >> And having that rookie running back, Wild Bill Crosky, Merritt, number 22. We. saw him go in there in one of the early. highlights and go nuts after his first. career touchdown, but it feels like they. didn't have a consistent run game. You. know, we've talked a lot about, you. know, Brian Robinson Jr. and he was. great. But I mean he was averaging eight.

yards a pop and he's extremely fast and. can catch the ball out of the back field. like before it was Brian Robinson Jr. P. and then maybe Eckler kind of that more. out of the backfield guy. This Bill. Crosky merit dude seems to have both of. them and he is unbelievable and has a. great name. >> Wild Bill is certainly a good nickname. Uh Bengals do something that's never. been done before. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Really. >> complet. >> Yep. And I guess the Browns did what I. guess. >> Browns have done. Browns have done.

Cincinnati Bengals should have lost to. the Cleveland Browns, but instead they. squeak out of there somehow with a win. Cincinnati Bengals get their first win. to open a season in a long time. Boom. But none of them are saying it was a. good game. AJ, how's Ohio feeling about. this battle of Ohio and Cleveland. seemingly browning all over themselves. >> Yes, you are correct. So, I am uh I am. surrounded by Bengals and Browns fans. both. And a lot, you know, they're both. everyone's diehard like family fans, whether Bengals or Browns where I'm at. And the Browns fans are all saying,

"Yeah, here we go. It's just same old. Browns. It's kind of what we do. This is. how this is what happens to us." And the. Bengals fans are saying that's a great. great gritty week one. We found a way to. win. >> I would certainly spin it that way as. well. And if I'm uh Zack over there, I'm. trying to spin that the case as well. Tough game. >> Tough game. got out of it. We played. with the win. >> Always going to be tough. >> Always going to get Always going to get. an AFC North win. >> This is Ohio. >> This one. It's always going to be tough. It also we got a lot to go through. I. mean, seven yards of offense in the. second half and still win somehow.

>> And. the Cleveland Browns fans are just uh. yeah, incredibly athletic to that point. New DC over there. So, congrats to them. having a great game. And uh congrats to. us having Louis Anarumo. >> I am so thankful that he is with the. Indianapolis Colts. Which leads to the. next conversation. AJ. Yeah, say it. >> It's real. >> I followed I followed along your. excitement uh on Twitter X, whatever you. want to call it. Yeah. Yeah. P I mean, you're the the Colts are early leaders.

in the clubhouse to win the Super Bowl, I would say. >> Let's not overreact. >> Okay. I mean, >> it's only a second quarter of the first. game. >> Pretty levelheaded. >> Thank you. >> You're not the only ones. Austin Collie, okay. He's now a money manager. >> Levelheaded individual. >> Has to be. He quotes this to say, "Nope, it's not an overreaction. We are winning. the Super Bowl. It looked different. It. really did." And I know everybody else's. angle is, "Wow, these Dolphins are the. worst team ever." And uh that might be. true. >> I hope not. >> I don't think it is. I hope it's not for.

the sake of the Indianapolis Colts. That. that is literally why I hope that. But. if the Miami Dolphins are a professional. football team, which we assume they will. be, >> okay, at some point we assume they will. be. The Colts look so good in all. facets. I mean, just no punts, obviously. Great coverage. Hey, Shrader. hit some monster field goals. Spencer. Shrader, our kicker this year, is going. to be very, very good for us. I think he. needs to work on those kickoffs. So, hey, Bob, let's go. We need to work on. those kickoffs. >> A lot of people, >> but hey, the kickoff is a new weapon.

That 35 yd line start is tough. But. also, you can't just chip it to the 10. or the 11 and have them start at the 11. either full speed. That's not a like. getting good at those kicks is a big. deal. Shrader has such a strong leg. I. think he's going to be good at that. I. think if you're good at that, I think. it's going to win a game. I think it's. going to win a playoff game. Personally, I think it's going to win a big game. This whole landing zone situation, drive. start average conversation. But the. Colts looked very good. AJ Bayham, he's. the guy. This guy is the guy. AJ, the.

defense looked unbelievable. >> Hey, also I mean I have a hard time not. talking about Tyler Warren. We There's a. Baldi breakdown already on Tyler Warren. We know that. Like this guy is killing. it. the if the Colts can put this. together, didn't they already say, "Hey, wait, there's new sheriffs in town, right? Here we go. We are we are back.". Like this this a different world now. We. have uh you know, we're going to lock it. down the back end. Any any great defense. when the DBs like the safeties and. corners when they are playing at a super. high level and I like when they're. outspoken, too. You got to have a little. bit of ego about you. You got to be very. very confident as a DB. And I feel like.

the Colts are doing that right now. through week one. Now AJ, the reason why. I uh wanted you to highlight the defense. is because of how damn great you were at. defense in the NFL. You know, a player, professional. >> Yeah, that's right. National player. >> A national champ and Super Bowl champion. player. Want to do that, but also. because we had a chance to catch up with. Danny Dimes earlier today and we talked. a lot about the offense. I think he's. going to come across as a guy that's uh. charming, >> funny, >> funny, liable, personable. >> I know he had an NFL record. You know, he was historic there for a bit until.

Josh Allen had the fourth quarter that. he had. But Danny Dimes, Indianapolis, we got a chance to catch up with him. this morning. Fresh out of a massive. win. >> Mr. Dimes, what up, dude? >> Yo, what up? How we doing? >> Hey, we're great. Hey, we are [ __ ]. great. Don't you ever don't you worry. about that. We are in a great spot. Um, first of all, congratulations. >> Oh, yeah. Thank you. >> Uh, we're going to get right into it. here. uh whenever you came to. Indianapolis, I had the incredible. opportunity to have a little dinner with.

you and uh one of the greatest aourers. of all time, Mr. Berg, and uh it was. very evident when I was speaking to you. that you liked this Indianapolis Colts. team. I think like uh you had heard. about maybe me having some beef with the. locker room or whatever and I said, "Yeah, I I just don't know if we got. dogs." You started rattling off names. immediately on the offensive side that. you liked and on the defensive side that. you liked. And obviously there was a. competition with you and Anthony. Richardson was very public, but it felt. like you all handled it perfectly. At.

what moment did you feel like, hey, this. could be a really good home for me in my. style of play with Shane Stiken? Was. that immediately? Is that why you signed. here or was there like a time throughout. this entire process where you really. felt that? >> Uh I think I had a you know good idea um. you know making the decision to come. here. There's a lot a lot uh here like. like you said a lot of good pieces a. strong strong team strong up front. strong in the skill positions and then. uh yeah you know Shane's system what he. does the moving the quarterback the RPO.

game the drop back game you know all. that stuff I think uh was something I. was excited to to be a part of and. probably sometime during camp you kind. of felt it coming together and getting. more and more comfortable with with all. this stuff but um yeah I've I've enjoyed. working with him. >> I uh we didn't see a lot of positive. whenever you're named the starter. And. for Colts fans, it's because since Luck. retired, we've been searching for a. quarterback. So, whenever you spend the. number uh four overall pick on a guy who. has immense upside, everybody was hoping.

that that was going to be our guy. Then. in comes Danny Dimes, okay, from the New. York Giants and then a stop with the. Minnesota Vikings. And it's like Colts. fans, I think, naturally were hoping. that the number four overall pick would. win the job. But instead, everybody that. was watching said, "You clearly were the. leader of that team." Did you hear all. the outside noise? The reaction? I mean, The Athletic put out a poll that was. like what? 93% negative or something. Internet pollers were 93%. Now, I didn't. vote on that. I would have been. optimistic. Appreciate that.

>> Yeah. Yeah. I'm on your side. I would be. on your side. But that was like a real. thing. Did you hear that? Did you feel. that? And how do you kind of distract. all or keep away from all that? Uh, I. did not know about the poll, but I I. mean I definitely realize the the. public, the media, the the press uh has, you know, is not in my favor, has not. been in my favor, and, you know, that's. that's part of it. We didn't win enough. games in New York and and I didn't play. well enough. So, that that comes with. it. But, um, you know, I think, uh, you're aware of it. You know, at this.

this day and age, you can't you can't. completely, uh, block it out, but you. try to as best you can and stay focused. on on what you're doing. So that's what. I tried to do and I think uh you know I. think the team does a good job of that. here. Um you know just kind of focusing. on on football and what's most. important. >> I love what you guys did yesterday. Okay. I was talking to some people in. the building that I know and I'm like. how do we feel? Nobody really knows. anything about your team. The only thing. is the negative drama. There's a bunch. of [ __ ] going on. So I asked some. guys in the building, you know, over the. past couple days because there was a lot.

of events happening for Mr. Ers going. into the Ring of Honor. Shout out to you. getting a big time dub for him and that. day being absolutely perfect. But. everybody in the building is like, "Hey, we got a team, man." Like, "We got we. got a we got a really good We should. kill the Miami Dolphins." That is what. was being said by the people that aren't. football players or coaches, but people. in the building is like, "Hey, we have a. good team." Yesterday was awesome. It's. the first time that the first three. drives have been scoring drives since. 2006 to start a season for the. Indianapolis Colts. Obviously, we lost.

11 straight season openers. And then. just the vibe in that building was just. positive literally from the jump. At. what point did you think, hey, our. offense can kind of do whatever we want. to do right now. And at what point. during camp did you know that the. defense was going to be legit? Cam. Binham obviously has a massive day. Deorest Buckner does his thing. Zire's. getting tackles all over the place and. penalties. But that whenever we talk. about the Colts, it's very rare that we.

talk about a dominant defense and uh it. felt like they were that yesterday. In. camp, you knew that was going to be the. case. When did you really see this. defense being real? >> I would say pretty early on. you know, the first three or four days of camp, to. be honest, I'd say they they got after. us pretty good on defense and you. realize they were uh you know, and. that's kind of sometimes the way it is. with with uh offense and defense. clicking and times, you know, how that. works during camp, but they were from. the jump they were they were making. plays. You could see the guys all over.

the field and and uh you know, what Lou. does on defense, I think, is tough for. for a lot of offenses. He's got. pressures, he's got different coverages, he's got all, you know, kind of mix it. up on on uh on guys and keep them. guessing. But they got a lot of a lot of. playmakers over there. I think we. realized that. >> uh pretty quick early on in camp. >> That was Leatu Lu uh number first round. pick who's a pass rusher dropping into. coverage out of nowhere. There's no way. Yeah, Chris Ballard laughing while I was. saying that because of how offensive. heavy that particular draft was, but him.

dropping into coverage like Tua, never. I don't think that guy was ever in. coverage last year. I I don't think. there was one time where he was 10 to 15. yards off the ball and then snags that. thing out of the sky. It's like that was. awesome. They were hunting. You guys. were methodically moving that ball down. the field. And that is something that we. have not had a lot of opportunity to. celebrate. There's always been flashes, but there's never been like sustained. success on the offensive side of the. ball. Feels like the run game's great. Feels like you got weapons outside. Uh,

you spinning it better than you've ever. spun it in your life or do you think you. just don't get enough credit for how you. throw? >> Uh, I feel like I'm throwing it well. Um, but I I don't know. I mean, I think. uh you know, it's about uh it's about. where you throw it and and uh you know, yeah, I feel like I'm throwing it well. And how much credit I I'm getting for. it, I don't know. I don't I don't really. uh think too much of that. We got a lot. of a lot of open guys. We had time to. throw. It was uh it was fun yesterday,

but good start for us. We got to we got. to keep it rolling though. >> And let's talk about that guy uh Tyler. Warren. He is a husk. They were showing. him during the national anthem. >> He's a dog. Yes. It appears we saw him. get. >> definitely concussed without a doubt. without against Penn State against Notre. Dame. Yes. >> So cold. His head. >> through the turf. Like a full whip. through the turf. And he just got his. ass right up and just joged right back. on the field and continued to make. plays. And when he showed his face in a. national anthem, he's a Sasquatch. He.

He's hairy and he he is a Sasquatch. And. then gets on the field, he's a. playmaker. He might be the best player. in all of football. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Mr. Dimes, I saw he was uh your. leading target getter yesterday, I. think, with nine. He had seven catches. Is it just like impossible not to look. down the field and be like, "Oh, that 68. guy has a mismatch uh against everyone. on the field.". >> Pretty much. Yeah, he's uh Yeah, he's. he's a heck of a player. you know, tough. as tough as crap and and always makes.

the play. You know, I think uh just feel. for space. I mean, you see on some of. these highlights, he's feeling the where. the defense is, the overlap. He's. feeling the space underneath and and. settling down the right spot. This play. right here, he catches it immediately, gets up field, and gets 12 yards on a. play that should be a minus two play. You know, I think stuff like that that. um you know, it's just uh it's just. interesting. It's a football player. stuff. He's a he's a he's just a a good. football player. >> Yes, he is. Yeah. They even go doing a. little bit of a a little bit of a draw, a little bit of dive at fullback there.

Go ahead, >> pal. I do man. Hey Dan, great great game. yesterday. Um, I just want to ask about. the game plan specifically. I know every. week to week the matchup is going to be. different. What type of input do you. have with Shane when it comes to game. plan wise? Because to me from the start. it was very evident that you guys wanted. to use your arm and open up be a pass. heavy at least early on in the offense. So what's that input like throughout the. week uh with Shane while you putting it. together? Yeah, we communicate a lot. Try to watch. uh you know, watch a lot of tape and and. you know, it's it's uh him, it's it's.

Jim, Bob, it's uh Tanny, all those guys. are putting together the plan uh in the. pass game. The guys up front do a great. job with the run games. So, you know, I'm uh you know, when I have an idea, you know, talking it talking through it. and seeing what they think. But um you. know, it's uh yeah, it's been a. collaborative process. I think uh we saw. some things we thought we could we could. do in the past game. um you know and and. uh a lot of those things converted, but. thought we had a really good plan going. in. The guys up front, I think when you. look at that defense, it's a strong.

front. You know, they got good edge. rushers, good guys inside, and and we. knew that would be um you know, a big. part of the game and the guys up front, uh our guys handled them handled them. really well. >> Great run game yesterday. The dimes dive. era is in full effect. Uh it is a. 100enter. >> Okay, >> no questions asked. Let's go. >> There's actually we get down into the. red zone again for his second dimes dive. touchdown right here. And uh the first. time we get stuffed, okay? And I'm. literally screaming to Shane who is 30. yards away from me on the sideline. Just. call it. Just give it to him. Just do.

the dimes dive. It is you're bigger, stronger, and faster than anybody. thinks. Legit. And also, it feels like. you tell Shane Stiken, "Hey, I want to. get a helmet to helmet hit." Okay. At. some point, I I need a helmet to helmet. hit a little bit earlier. This is. [ __ ] that he did not get. >> I got hit pretty good there. >> Yes. You did. >> Yeah. Kind of came out of nowhere. Yeah. I thought I had a little more space than. I did, but uh that was a good like uh. welcome to the season hit right there.

>> Yeah, it was five. It was like 10 yards. in front of us. Uh Foxy actually got. like a great shot of it on his camera. 4K of you just getting absolutely. obliterated. That's from the dimes dive. So, there was a time you just getting. absolutely obliterated in that call. No. call, no nothing. It's like any other. quarterback in the league other than. rookies probably getting that call. >> Yeah. Instead, all we get is dimes just. going, "Oh [ __ ] [ __ ] Tighten that. thing up and just jogging away. >> That thing up." That's right.

>> Yeah. It was It was awesome, man. It was. a lot of fun to watch. U a lot of people. saying that your journey is potentially. why you are the quarterback that you are. right now. And we've seen this with. other guys in the past where they have. to go somewhere and then they end up. finding a home. I want to let you know. this feels like a great place for you, brother. And uh it was fun to watch. A. lot of [ __ ] to do left. Okay. Hey, you. haven't won [ __ ] Okay. But with that. Yeah. With that being said, there is. that was yesterday's buzz was awesome in. that building. Go ahead, Conan.

>> Yeah, Danny. We talked to Kevin. O'Connell a lot and when we have him on, he was raving about you last year and. just about when you joined the team, how. big of a pro you were and things of that. nature. What did you take away from. Minnesota that you've kind of carried. into the off season and now week one? Because I mean, [ __ ] you said it that. was the best you've thrown the ball is. the best you feel like you've thrown the. ball. Uh, you were unbelievable. yesterday watching that Colts game was. that was the best game that that stadium.

has seen out of the Colts in a long. time. >> Brother, we're Listen, I don't want to. stress this too much with Connor. We're. standing in that stadium. It was a great. time. >> It was crazy. Yeah. >> The whole time. Usually it's like well. you got to kind of you got to drum up a. little bit energy. That place was like. in Binham. We're talking every play. >> Oh yeah. >> Bum bum is every single play like this. Love that. >> It was. >> How about that? How about that dance? Huh? Can you do that dance? >> No, I can't. But I can't I can't I'm not. explosive enough. I'm not explosive.

enough. I'm The ending of that dance is. actually pretty crazy. After the kip up. >> and then into the lock. >> Can you do Can you do it, D? >> Yeah. Do you try that? Absolutely not. No, no, no, no. I don't think so. >> I didn't see any cool dances out of you. yesterday. >> Not yet. >> Dances, right? I'm not much of a dancer. >> Really? >> You're going to score 32 touchdowns this. year, so Bham should probably give you a. couple celebration ideas. >> I'm sure you guys could collab a little. bit. You should do the whitest, most. Caucasian thing of all time after. Maybe.

you just shake the hand of the ref and. just hand the ball and then just walk it. away. But let's talk about KOC a little. bit. How much was the Vikings like u a. confidence booster for you maybe or a. reset for you? What how do you kind of. view that and how do you view KOC? >> Yeah, I think just being around uh being. around Kevin, being around Josh Macau, uh Grant Udensky, those guys there um I. learned a lot from them. I think uh you. the biggest thing I took away from there. was just the the preparation, how. detailed they were in the game plan. um.

you know how much they you know prepared. for certain looks, checks they had. motions to undress the defense, you. know, every little thing. They were. going over, they were talking through, they were walking through, they were, you know, discussions about it was, you. know, very very detailed, high level. Um. here's what we're expecting, here's what. we're going to do to it. Um you know, and the preparation dayto-day throughout. the week was was really, you know, impressive to me. Just just the level of. detail that they had. So, yeah, I think. being around those guys and seeing that,

being able to watch um watch Sam prepare. and how they prepared him to me was was. really impressive. >> I love that you brought it here. >> Mhm. >> It's everything we need here. >> That is everything we That is literally. everything we absolutely need. The. building loves you, too, man. Which is a. cool thing. I I I think you're just like. >> you're especially when we had Payton, Andrew, you know, and obviously you with. Payton the Manning's coaches uh coach uh. cliff. >> cut there. Yeah. And all the ties on. draft night and everything like that.

>> It's like you just felt like very much. in command. Felt like nothing was too. big. Everybody obviously respected you. and you got dropped in here in uh. obviously an interesting situation. personally for you. I couldn't even. imagine what it would be like with. everything going from New York City all. the way to Minnesota. Then you come to. Indie, win the starting job after. multiple teams wanted you and all you. obviously you didn't hear this. I'm. breaking a bad news to you now. Everybody was like that's a bad. decision. That is not how it goes. It's. like having to do all that, man. And. then for you still to just be like, I.

don't want to say bulletproof, but. unfazed by it. That's a special trait. that uh only NFL starting quarterbacks. have. So, we're very lucky that you're. here. >> On that note, this place is going to. love you for a long time. I also have. like four houses floating around. If you. need anything, go ahead, Tom. >> There you go. Yeah, Daniel, you've been. in Indianapolis for a couple months now. Are you starting to kind of realize. like, wow, this really isn't that much. different than New York City in terms of. stuff to do, restaurants, you know, night life, all that kind of stuff. But. honestly, and and not saying you were.

doing all that [ __ ] when you were in New. York, but when you get to a place like. Indianapolis, does it kind of make it. easier to realize like, oh, okay, like I. can just focus on football because even. if I'm not doing all that other stuff, like those distractions just aren't. here. Um, unless you want to go to like. a movie and, you know, go to McDonald's. It's a little bit different than a. Saturday night in New York. >> Yeah. Yeah. You know, I think uh yeah, it is in a lot of ways. It's it's about. it's about football here, but the people. have been great. I've really enjoyed. being here and and uh you know, getting.

to know a lot of these fans and and the. people in the area, but very different. feel from from being in in New York and. uh right across from the city for sure. But uh I've enjoyed it. It's about It's. about ball here and we got a team that. uh kind of all thinks the same way. >> Yeah. >> Hell yeah. >> Got a fan base that's thinking the same. damn thing. Yeah. We'll let you know. that. We appreciate the hell out of you. Good luck the rest of the way and uh. remember. week one doesn't mean a damn thing, does. it? >> That's right.

Unless that good. Yeah. >> One and0, baby. >> Unless you're. >> Yeah. I mean, week one means a lot for. the Dolphins fans. I mean that I I think. that's not being talked about enough is. how good you guys are. Like I think that. is kind of missing in conversation. We. can't wait to watch it. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen, Danny D. Appreciate. >> it. Baby D. Dannoo. [Music]. I'm serious about selling him a house. Uh he's he's in his seventh year. Is. that what it is?

>> Yes. >> Yeah. I think he's in his seventh year. Uh quarterbacks definitely have 17 year. careers. >> Talk about a decade here. Yeah, >> you're talking about maybe just owning. this role in this job for these. Indianapolis Colts and uh it was. awesome, dude. I'm telling you, I I. don't want to say overreact. Okay, I. don't want to do that. Might have been. underreacting to be honest. We'll see. how the story kind of plays out in its. entirety. >> Everything looked good. his throws were. like he was throwing the spots, you. know, he was very much having great.

chemistry with his wide receivers, which. make you wonder like if he would have. got all the reps in training camp, how. much further would we are we are we only. at the beginning of this entire. relationship because he was in a. competition so he was only getting half. the amount of reps, half the amount of. everything. It's like it feels like as. you're watching it and it's all going. well, it's like we're at the very. beginning of this. This is still there's. still so much room to grow and uh I. think that's possible for us. That's how. a lot of fans feel obviously after week. 116 uh fan groups feel that way. Uh.

other than maybe. >> Noah Cincy for sure. >> Cincy. Yeah. But he just said gritty. win. And. >> plus like you know they're going to be. all right. You got Joe Bro, you got. Jamar Chase. You got T. Like they're. going to score points. >> But for the Colts I think we didn't. know. I I think I think Colts fans had. no idea what it was going to look like. and then we see it and they were like. wait this is much better than what we've. been seeing over the last five years. This might be the Gardenner Mchu. >> Love. >> Mhm. >> Love Garter Mchu. >> Sure. >> Garner Menchu almost took the. Indianapolis Colts to an AFC South.

championship and to the playoffs one. play away. >> He should. >> Garner Mchu was in the Pro Bowl with. with this Shane Stiken offense. And it. was like we've seen that. And I think. what yesterday was was way better than. that team. Way better than all. Shane. Stiken got the head coaching job because. he's this offensive guru. He's this. wizard. He's able to do things. And it's. like Daniel Jones, I think, understands. the offense and he's making the checks. and putting him in the right play, making the right decisions. It's like. this offense has been unlocked. And then. let's not even talk about Luano coming. over here with weapons. Lano when he was.

with the Bengals, they didn't really. invest in any defensive players, invest. in many of anything, but Luano pies on. greatness. They've invested in players. for him on the defensive side. Top picks. on that defensive side of the ball. A. lot of money on that defensive side of. the ball. So although the national. narrative might have been negative and I. guess there were some online fans that. were voting negative. If you watch this. team over the last couple years, you'd. think there's good players. Jim Urce has. spent a lot of money on this team. There's a lot of good players on this. team just for one. It looked like they. unlocked that.

>> It did. It did. And it and it didn't. look, you know, gimmicky. Sometimes you. can look at the score. Okay, you got a. tip ball here or strip set. Somebody. picked a block punt, you scored. Like it. was just full operation. And we knew the. weakness coming in for this Dolphins. defense was definitely in the secondary. So when you have a team and you have an. offense that can say, "Okay, they got a. weak secondary, we got good weapons. Let's see if we have a good. quarterback." And you go out there and. actually execute. And the quarterback. has a complete understanding of the. offense. He was comfortable from the. beginning. Coming into the season, it. was like, "Okay, Dan Jones, take care of.

the ball. Run the football. Defense. You. guys play great. But when you have when. you come out here and you have a start. like this now, who knows what the. Dolphins go on to be. Maybe they are. just a shitty shitty shitty team. >> Maybe worst of all time. Maybe 1972 only. undefeated team and maybe 2025 only 17. game completely defeated team. Possible. 16 teams is possible there still at this. point. >> But you can respond to to it said, "Hey, how do we respond?" And we all remember. that blowout when the Broncos got 70 put. on them by the Dolphins and then they.

responded. So we'll see how they. respond. It's a long season, but love. what we saw from the Colts. And then you. mentioned Chris Ballard finally opening. that checkbook and going getting some. big time players. Going to get one of. the top safeties on the market, Cam. Bonner. Going to get Ward, big time. quarterback in the league for a long, long time. And you see a guy like Kenny. Moore, when you have players like that. around you, now you can play better. Nick Cross got involved. He got a nice. tackle. And so yeah, uh Big Lou bringing. his defense here with these new weapons. He he's having a fresh start cuz they. ran him out of sentency as well. Like.

loved everything I saw from this coach. team on all phases. >> Well, and that's the thing, too. Like. you can say the Dolphins defense isn't. good for sure. The Dolphins offense is. good. Like they have Tyreek Hill who was. voted the number one player two years. ago. They have Wadd who they paid. They. have Achan who's good. Tua he's been. paid. Now did people figure out the Mike. McDaniel gimmick [ __ ] There's a. chance cuz everyone's running. There's a. chance. Everyone's running the stuff to. the left and to the right, but more so. with the Colts. They never melted which.

was nice. Like we've seen the Colts play. well in spurts like a quarter or a half, but then they [ __ ] down their leg, then. they call some gimmick [ __ ] that. doesn't work and it's like, okay, well, what the hell are you doing, Stiken? There's no point to do [ __ ] like this. Like that didn't exist, which was nice. It just feels like the the gimmick maybe. screw up [ __ ] down their leg and maybe. that is a Dan Jones thing where Dan. Jones isn't going to, you know, try and. break. >> He looked like he didn't have a pulse.

yesterday. You know how Tomlin said. about Bos being a serial killer. >> That's how Danny Dimes scored that. touchdown like super f like fought. through it then just like got up. All. right. And then just like headbutted all. his teammates. Good work, boys. And just. joged off the field. It was like getting. a play call late or whatever. Just no. worries. I'm introduced. >> They were introduced as a team. It. wasn't offense or defense introductions. It was team introductions. I said, "Hold. the phone.". >> Yeah, that that's what I said. That was. my exact thoughts. And I don't think I. realized it was happening. No.

>> So that the team normally runs out first. to create the tunnel for everybody else, you know, the other half, whoever's not. starting. And then they do the intros. First game day ops, new video. Sick. >> Sick video. New game ops. Everything's. very good. And then the team comes. running out, you know, the Lucas old. motorcycle comes flying out there with a. sidecar. I didn't know that's it's like. a prize. New person in sidecar. It makes. sense. Either way, you got blue doing. the entire thing. Then big portion of. the Colts come out. Okay. And it's like, "All right, now what are they doing for.

the starters?" And I saw uh I think I. saw Zire sprint out. I was like, "Okay, so the offense must be getting. introduced or whatever." And I even look. at Boston Connor. I go, "Is Danny Dimes. getting introed left or is Jonathan. Taylor? It's got to be Jonathan Taylor.". We all agreed got to be Jonathan Taylor. Then we look out and we start seeing. like offensive linemen that we know. running and it's like, >> oh, >> they just introduced the whole. >> Yep. Love everything about this. >> It's uh Go ahead. >> We got a flyover. Two of them. Roof was. open. >> Two roof open. Uh that looks sick.

>> Same scoreboard or not? >> Fun stat. Uh same scoreboard. Fun stat. flyover is insane. Always awesome. Always going to hit. Uh love everything. about it. Two of them F-18s I do believe. coming over here. Thought they were. going to come length up field. >> Same. >> We all thought they were going to come. I thought Connor missed it actually cuz. they came across. He was under a little. bit of a little bit of hangover. But. whatever the case was, >> I got lucky. I actually like was looking. for the vertical, but it only lasted a. second cuz it was just the horizontally. >> Yeah. And by the way, they slice that. thing nice.

>> You could hear them humming in the in. the Eastern church choir. >> from the national they did the national. anthem. >> and they dominate. >> As soon as they popped up on the screen, I go, "Oh [ __ ] this is the uh this is. from the funeral." They are very good. and they made a great Jim Ersce video. tribute video that Tony Dunie and it was. very good. But the team getting. introduced was awesome. Yes. And the. roof and the window were open. You know, Jim Mercy was beautiful. Jim Mercy was. in there and uh I learned that the night. before from Pete Ward, who's been the. president of the Colts for a long time.

Came over. I believe him and Jim. actually their first year working for. the Baltimore Ravens. They shared an. office at training camp, you know, and. he was like scared to death that he was. with the owner's son. And what happened. is they end up becoming like brothers. And Pete Ward has been with Jim. >> through absolutely everything. And Pete. Ward has had to handle everything, you. know, like this is this is real deal. here. How long Pete's been around. And. he told me uh Saturday night uh there. was a little gathering downtown, a. couple cocktails. It was good to see. everybody. Uh Pete comes up to me. He. goes, "You know, the window and roof are. going to be open tomorrow." And I go,

"You love that [ __ ] Pete." That's why I. said to him, he goes, "Did you know your. average was longer. >> whenever the roof and the window were. open than whenever it was closed?" And I. said, "No way." He goes, "I looked it up. >> cuz of the everything you would say to. me whenever I would tell you that we. were either opening it or closing it.". And I said, >> "Who helped you?" And he goes, "Yeah, I. I looked up every single game." I said, "Well, how was Vinnie's field goal. stats?" Cuz I'm fighting for the team, not just myself. You know, I'm I'm mad. Vinnie as well. And he goes, "Well, I. didn't look that up. I looked you up,

but next time I see him, I bet he's. going to go Adam Venitary. >> 94%. >> with the window into the It was. amazing." Yeah. It's like celebrating. the Ursa. family and the Colts this weekend was. cool because it's such a small group of. people that are really doing it and. they've all been around for so long and. listening to them talk about this. particular team. >> is cool. It is like a very very cool. thing to hear how not only how Carly, Caitlin, and Casey, who they've all. known since they were very young, how.

they've just like taken over and have. kind of had to be put in a position that. they knew was coming for a long time, >> but like actually having to do it the. way they're operating. It's like vibes. are immaculate right now around the. Colts. >> Like Payton Manning gave a little. halftime speech and then he introduced. Carly for her to give, you know, the Jim. Ers induction into the Ring of Honor. That was incredible, too. Uh Dallas. Clark, he wears pants that don't fit. him, which was one of my favorite parts. What do. >> they No pants will fit him. This dude's. squatting three times a week. His quads.

are gigantic. Sue him. He wears tight. pants. >> I didn't I to be honest, I thought. someone painted them on. I thought. >> that might have been That might have. been skin paint. >> Yeah, I thought I thought he wasn't. actually wearing pants dong out because. they were that tight. It was disgusting. >> No, it wasn't. What are you talking. about? I thought it was impressive. >> I mean, it was cool like, "Oh, wow. This. guy's got kegs for legs." But then you. look up a little, it's like, geez. louise, this guy's dogs in my face. >> That's not true. That's not true. Dallas. looked like a gentleman. His quads are. gigantic. Uh he is incredibly ripped. And uh it was great to see him and.

everybody else. The Colts are the real. deal. AJ, that's what everybody needs to. understand. But are the Packers as well? We'll continue to debate that on the. other side. Plus overreactions. I don't. know if the actions. >> No, that was perfect. Especially after. watching the 1 second thing they did. with Dalton Concaid after the first the. end of the first half where was clearly. like 15 seconds the game came to the. ground that that definitely that's not. >> yeah we'll see I mean there could be who. knows what the delay is where you know. what I mean who knows because there's. always some sort of sync issue going on.

>> those uh on the road shows on Friday. have become. >> pretty good like pretty. >> yeah they're technically sound. >> certainly much better than last year. >> those are always fun to deal with those. ones on the road. Now granted, everybody's working their ass off. A lot. of tech, a lot of this, a lot of that, a. lot of, you know, internet connections. also sending to here to there. There's a. lot of [ __ ] involved. I forget who did. the standup joke. Um, somebody was mad. about like the wait time. Might have. been Bill Burr and their phone's going. to a [ __ ] satellite in the sky and.

it's coming back down. You're upset. about having to wait for [ __ ] four. minutes, whatever. Technology is. absolutely insane. Okay, it is great for. our lives. >> Crazy. But it also can be the worst. thing of all time. >> because it seems like it's the only. thing that understands itself. And when. it comes to like video, audio, all these. types of things, boy, tech just holds us. all by the by the. >> You say it. >> Oh yeah, you can say. >> They got you by the shore. They do. They. do. >> They do. >> Like I said, I know you have to deal.

with it here, but it normally goes off. without a hitch. Like hearing you and. everything like that and like seeing, >> let's knock on wood, please. Please knock on some wood here. >> It's just that little delay that you. have to deal with. >> Shout out Barcode and the team though. >> They're doing a great job. >> Yeah, they've really worked our asses. off. Chad's over there too. I believe. >> when we do have a problem, it's crazy. cuz every time with tech the solution is. the dumbest thing in the world. Like we. had a problem with the talkback stuff. It was cuz our computer was just on. volume zero. So it had nothing to do. with the program. I had to do just had.

to go volume up. >> That can't happen. >> It's crazy. >> That can't happen. >> It is crazy. I'm just learning that in. real time. I got a lot of questions. I. got a lot of questions. All right. On. the other side, we'll get some. overreactions. >> Oh, >> yes. >> We sent out a tweet this morning, AJ. Hey, >> let's hear it. I predicted a biblical. reaction. It became the number one trend. on X rather quickly. Oh, yeah. >> And there's a few trends. It feels like. >> feels like there's some people that are. having biblical reactions against them,

but this is what uh fan bases are. generally feeling. >> We have come to know. Yeah. >> And it's a segment that we enjoy. All. people have to do is put a tweet in. about their NFL team that they love and. have to include the hashtag, I don't. want to overreact, but. >> and Tai scrolls through them, finds the. best ones. And we're able to give a. pretty good indication of how most fan. bases might feel on this particular. overreaction Monday. It's glorious time. It's entertaining. Some people are. really talented wordsmiths on there. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah, I bet.

>> Some orators. >> And some people need to pick it the [ __ ]. up. >> Yep. That's what people are about to. learn. >> Okay. >> Fan bases don't have time to wait. Patience is a virtue. But how come other. teams don't have to [ __ ] do it? >> I'm about sick of it. Virtue this, virtue that. I want to win now. >> Yeah. Today. >> I mean, if we're winning, maybe it's not. enough. >> But if we're killing, we're winning it. all. Yeah. >> It's a nice range on these overreaction.

Mondays. Oh, >> and one team can certainly be on this. end of it. and then the very next week. right up here. And that's why the NFL's. fandom is at an all-time high. It's a. reality show. It's drama, its feelings, its emotions, and it's overreactions. happening after the break. It'll be. worth it. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change their. life. Take. [Music]. >> We're still bringing it.

I light every bridge I see here just to. watch it burn. If you seen all the hell. I seen it make your stomach turn. I. think you know why I do what I do when I. do. Started with 133 teams vying for one of. these coveted 12 spots for this 12 team. playoff. And it came down to two teams.

in the great state of Indiana kicking. this entire thing off. >> I might drink a little. I might smoke a. lot. Throw some. >> the best year of college football that. it's ever had is about to have the. greatest playoffs it's ever had. And it. all starts right here in front of. touchdown Jesus. and these beautiful. Irish people. And I think if you say go.

Irishers, [Applause]. >> they'll do that all night. If you make. this kick, I will double his kick to. $500,000. I will also donate $250,000 to. a charity of Chris Dy's choosing. >> Yeah. Let it go. >> Oh god. Not terrible. Not terrible. One kick. $750,000. The Lord is watching you.

>> 1 million. [Applause]. >> And there's a bunch of. that. >> We don't just beat top 25 teams. We beat. the [ __ ] out of you. Okay, Google. >> But one thing you didn't learn from me. is talking all the [ __ ] you talk.

>> Welcome to the most electrifying. atmosphere in all of sport. I know. European soccer fans are wild. That's. like 30 to 60,000. You're about to see. all weekend 100,000 plus bananas. atmosphere. And that is one part of the. reason why college ball is so damn. great. >> Is that a fun show? No. No. No serious. serious football. Alabama Jones is very. serious.

>> You know, he was trying to be funny, which I get it. And you know, my. daughter Kristen loves him. So that's. kind of soothed the soul a little bit. that somebody in our family likes the. guy. >> I choose to believe. And for a touchdown, Jesus, and. everybody looking down, IU gets a massive win over Notre Dame. Shane, I'm sorry. You're a real scumbag. >> I thought coach Signetti coming out here. was a real disgrace to the game. He left.

his players in the locker room to go get. some camera time for himself. I know a. legend like yourself would never do. something like that. Would you? >> No. No. It's disgusting. I saw it. I. thought, "Wow, what a sad, disgusting. program." Ain't by a million. Go Irish. >> Riley Leonard and the Irish from their. own two. Jeremiah Love breaks free. Jerem trying to go 98. Touchdown. [Music].

>> Might be fiction for a blowout here, fellas. >> Couldn't wait to get to the wonderful. state of O. [Applause]. in the SEC coming up to the Big 10 when. it's cold as hell. We shall settle the. conversation here in beautiful Columbus. Coach, that hairline. You get a haircut. every day? Not every day. Not every day. >> Big beard, big boot, feet and toes. 500.

Oh, this guy. Holy. Holy cow. This guy's the worst. we've ever seen. Just took on the Ohio. State cheerleaders. $1 million here. JD. level. Oh, >> this guy sucks at kicking butt. We. appreciate the hell out of you, >> JJ. There he is. >> He was once wiped a hund times. >> Yeah. 100 times. There are actually. people out there. Psychos obviously that. like the nonfrosted Pop-Tarts. Gary's.

You pick. stop. >> Damn it. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice could change their life. [Music]. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble abode. The thunder on this. overreaction Monday September 8th 2025.

hour three of the program begins right. now. Football. >> is the greatest. We can't thank you. enough for allowing us to talk about it. for a living. That is AJ Hawk. Wow. AJ, you look good, Bob. You look good over. there. >> You look great. You guys all look great. >> Well, we appreciate that. Uh, but you. do, he popped up on the screen. We said, "Holy hell, this guy's in the middle of. a new haircut.". >> Yeah, it is. People talk about JJ Watts. here. I don't know if you saw the tweets. talking about feathery and layered. I. think he did it right. And obviously him.

and CZ that he's calling with quite a. height disparage. >> Iron Eagle. >> Iron Eagle there. I mean, one's. >> uniquely tall. >> Absolute monster. Get him. AJ. >> is a monster. him in some of those old. stadiums would have been great cuz I. think he's actually calling game like. this in some of those stadiums with the. way some of those uh booths are for. everything. His hair looks great. I. think he called the game very well. I. think it was a great game for him to. call a lot of action too. So uh I'm. pumped for JJ Stark. We'll talk to him. on Wednesday. Uh the toxic tables here. at Boston Conor and at Tai Schmidt, one.

half of the Hammer D Cowboys AP Tone is. here and a nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here. Uh everything DB good D. bad D back for another season. Can't. wait to dive into all of that. We had. some good defensive performances around. the league, I think. Right. >> We did. We had some great defensive. plays, great performances overall. Can't. wait to dive into it. >> Were the Broncos great defense? >> They were pretty solid. Yeah. Rookie. quarterback, you know, you expect a. defense like that to to show up and show. out. >> That game kind of stunk. We didn't. really talk about that. Also, Card.

Saints game kind of stunk. We didn't. really talk about that. >> Those Saints jerseys. Yeah, those are. those are shite. Yeah, >> the game stung for us, but it didn't. stink as much as Cam Ward's dad thought. it stunk. >> Yeah, if that was his dad, we all saw. the video on the internet of his his dad. uh getting up from the seat, going over. the handle uh rail, and just putting his. head down and then turning back around. We all saw the video. We don't know if. that was necessarily him. Uh but he was. certainly at a point of come on boys, what are we doing here? And then, you.

know, coach saying. >> potentially not rules. I don't know if. any of us know the rules. I guess a. >> lot of rules. >> So many rules. What's in, what's out? What's out? Is an elbow count as good. If it one foot, you know what all do you. need? There was that whole situation. But. >> Saints Cards, >> Broncos, Titans kind of two games we. didn't really dive into. And I think for. all four fan bases for the betterment of. everybody. >> and they understand. >> Yeah, I think so. >> Yeah. >> Was there was there any.

>> Maybe next week. >> Yeah, maybe next week. A lot of games. left. A lot of games left. Congrats to. the Broncos getting a big time win. >> Congrats to the Cards getting a big time. win. >> That's right. >> Congrats to those two getting out of. there one and0. >> Yeah, that's all you need. >> As opposed to being completely defeated. Now, the other teams are wondering. themselves, all right, what what's this. year going to look like? You know, there's a little bit of that going on. for some people, but no, it's a long. season and even the Shite teams are. going to steal a win. Maybe. >> Maybe. >> Now, let's go to some overreactions. What do you think, AJ? >> I can't wait. I bet there are some good. ones today.

>> Yeah, I think so, too. I I felt like. there was a lot of pent up energy. through the offseason, a lot of thoughts. coming into the season and then whenever. that particular game plays out the way. that you thought it was going to in the. mostly negative fashion, like I heard. Gumpy yesterday say like 10 different. times, oh, it turns out all of our. actual feelings about the team were. right. Yeah. All all of our actual. thoughts and concerns were good concerns. because they are concerning watching. them play football. Ain't that right, Gumpy? That was kind of your. realization. Yeah, it looked uh as bad. as it possibly could have.

>> And that was in the moment. >> That was at halftime. I couldn't even. imagine what some of these fans could. think of overnight. Ladies and. gentlemen, I put a tweet out saying, "Hey, I want to hear your thoughts on. your team." All you have to do is put. the hashtag. >> I don't want to overreact, but. >> what's the number one trend? Ty scan. through them all. Ty, you said there. were some good ones in there. Yeah, there's definitely a I mean, as to be. expected, you know, people have been. waiting to do this to just unleash on. their team or say we're going to win the. Super Bowl for quite some time. So, there were some really good ones.

>> Great morning on the internet. Let's go. to the first one from our own Boston. Connor. # I don't want to overreact, but. there's a chance we are entering into. the NFL's golden era of prime time. football. Last night was week one. It. was a 15-point fourth quarter under. fourminute comeback. It's going to be. the best season yet. Hell yeah, Connor. I don't think that's overreaction. I. think that's reading what's happening. and understanding the future, brother. >> Yeah, very excited. Thursday night was. fantastic up until that weather delay. that's going to throw a wrench in it. You can't really qualify everything. after that. Just think about the. football you saw before it top tier.

Then you go to Friday, Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes is running. wild. Herbert played unbelievable last. night was last night. Tonight, maybe. you're not as excited as all the other. prime time games and that's okay just. because it's a lot of question marks. Enjoy that. Enjoy the hey, I don't know. what I'm going to get with JJ McCarthy. tonight. This is his first NFL game. Hey, guess what? You're going to know. what you're going to get with Justin. Jefferson. He's going to do something. unbelievable. Caleb Williams. I don't. know what I'm going to get. Hey, guess. what? He might suck. It's going to be. freaking hilarious if he does. Enjoy. that. If he's good, that's going to be.

just as cool. And if the game sucks, [ __ ] we got to wait a couple days. Guess what we're waiting for, guys? You. know what's on Thursday? >> Uh, I don't know. Commanders Packers. I. mean, what? >> You got to be kidding me. The prime. time. This might be the year where every. single game in prime time delivers. I'm. juiced. >> Yeah, cuz every once in a while uh we'll. run into a little bit of a lull in the. season and we start to wonder has uh the. NFL lost its fast ball. Uh or they're. not able to project ahead of time what. teams are going to be good so that we. have good games.

>> But now let's start this season AJ both. college and NFL. Feels like we got some. good good ball in the season. Maybe the. best year of all time AJ. >> Oh it's it's setting up to be the best. season of all time. No question. I mean. Packers Commanders you serious on. Thursday. Micah gets a little bit more. into the into the game plan and we get. to see both team like who is truly legit. who backs up what they did week one. I. guess. >> we'll do our selections, you know, on. Thursday for Thursday night and then on. Friday we both, you know, not bad for. first week age. You need to know that. >> Yeah. I don't know if I did great. What.

did I do? >> Not bad, dude. 500. >> Look at you. You're seeing it. >> Seen the field. >> I'll tell you what, I might be. I might. be. Now, with that being said, I waffled. on four or five of these picks and I. think they all went the right way. There's certainly a time where you're. going to waffle and they're going to go. the wrong way. And uh shout out to us. getting the best line too, AJ. We'll. continue to do that all season. But you. at 500 week one, we should be happy. about me above 500 week one. I am happy. about. We are Let's keep, you know, maybe our overreaction is holy [ __ ].

might be the greatest NFL season of all. time. Might be out here. AJ, this is. good news. Cuz there's been some times. where both of us have started, you know, three for in that day. >> I've had I think I've won one or two. games before early in the season. No. question. Yeah. Yeah, because who knows. what we're looking at. Nobody knows. >> Hard and early on the games times, too. And they've been great. >> Go ahead. >> Sorry. I took a I took a shot in the. Giants at plus six and we had a lot of. hope coming out of camp with them, didn't we? We felt like everything was. good and. >> yeah, unfortunately it didn't happen for. >> Well, that sounds like an overreaction. there from him after one game saying the. Giants might be dead. You know, Russell.

Wilson didn't even have start. Let's go. to the next overreaction from Tai. # I. don't want to overreact, but. >> it's destiny. >> written in the stars. Jordan Love looked. exceptional. And yes, Micah Parsons with. a limited snap count had a massive. impact on the game. See in Santa Clara. #goco. #Kings of the north. Good. >> Is everybody singing? Great hashtag. usage. Thank you. >> Even anytime there's a little emblem. after you can get the emblem in there. Yeah. >> Yeah. Cuz that's just a little pizzazz, you know. Yeah, it is very neat. Yeah, it is very neat. Uh, is this how every.

Packers fan feels? Yes. Michael Parsons. gets traded to you guys. you all think. you're going to win a Super Bowl and. then first game goes the way it goes. against a Detroit Lions team that is. normally good against you guys. Uh and. you have your way with them. You guys. feel great. >> Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, I think. everyone was still kind of and no one. knew how much Michael was actually going. to play. Um, so you know, you were you. were hopeful the whole time, but yeah, had they done this against like the. Bears or you know, one like another team. that was like kind of on the fringe, hey, maybe you didn't make the playoffs, uh, it probably would have been a.

different reaction, but doing it against. a team that won 15 games last year and. the team that, you know, you're is the. king of the division right now and it I. mean it wasn't particularly close like. they thoroughly dominated that game. So. yeah, everyone is taking that, hey, we're going to win the Super Bowl and. now I think it's just amplified by like. a hundred. Well, congratulations. >> Hell yeah. Pretty good. Rightfully so. >> Hey, that's Carmen uh Policy's boy, head. policy making that big time trade with. Jerry bringing in the juice. >> That's what you do. You give up some. assets, you bring in a difference maker.

We all want guys that can change the. math on defense. And that's a guy that. changes the math not only for the guys. he's lining up with on the same level, but those secondary guys, you bring in a. Michael Parsons, that's going to upgrade. everyone on their back end. So, you got. a defense still wins championships. You. obviously have an offense that can. score. I don't think that's an. overreaction T. >> Yeah, there are moments where and we. talked about this a little bit before. There are moments where you forgot like. Pen Su was on the field because of how. good Micah Park. >> Why don't they give him the damn ball? >> They should probably Ben Johnson would.

have been giving him the ball third. quarter if things weren't going well. >> Yeah. Speaking of Timmy Horton going. out. >> Feels like the OC doesn't know football. >> What? Jeez, that's an overreaction. >> I like that. Nice play. >> You wouldn't be able to tell. Lunch did. play. Okay. >> Did he? >> He didn't look great. >> Thanks for. >> He's back from an injury. >> The whole pass rush didn't look great. >> I'm starting to think. >> [ __ ] lunch. >> That non player Peter Shreker did know. what he was talking about about the. Lions. I'm starting to think, hold on,

hold. there might be a for the next 20 years. the, you know, the number one seed in. the NFC might go through the NFC North, but [ __ ] he might not be, you know, MCDC's quarterback. Oh yeah, >> it might be might be, you know, Green. Bay or M Minnesota we might see tonight. JJ McCarthy looks good. [ __ ] We're. talking about the Lions being the third. best team in their division again. Totally [ __ ]. >> What if Caleb? >> Oh man, don't we We can't go there. We.

can't or we can. They're all Lions. I. mean first in the entire NFC. >> You got Jared Goofski. I'm seeing a lot of Goflowski on the. internet without Ben Johnson. We're. looking at Jared Goflowski running out. of the back of the end zone as Micah. Parsons. >> I saw a lot of people saying that that's. what it looked like. That was unfair. I. think. >> Yeah, just just.

>> pretty messed up. >> That is that is the internet's good. though. >> Yeah. Where was JMO too? We're just. talking about Glossi. Where was J Mo? Where was Alro? Yeah. just getting paid. counting their bills because they. weren't catching their passes. >> I will say I will say a lot of people. are saying I know you guys call Monty. and Gibbs Sonic and Knuckles. Some. people are calling them ass and cheeks. now. I don't like that. I do not like. that. >> Who was that? That was a tweet.

>> Yes, that was a tweet on the internet. >> Sonic and Moose Knuckles. >> The internet is the great internet is. the greatest. >> Who's the lion's next opponent? >> The Bears. Oh, >> they better show up. >> We're in a must-win situation right now. >> NFC. >> Uhoh. >> The Bears haven't even played yet. They. might be the best. They might be the. >> I'm a believer. >> Number one in the NFC to what Connor was. alluding to is number four in the NFC. North. Jeez Louise. That might be the.

Gez Louise moment. >> of the weekend. >> I'm sorry Lions fans feel that way. >> Jeez, it sucks. I mean, but that's the. thing, you know, everybody wants to be. the Patriots. It's hard to be good for. that long, man. You know, the Lions just. they're just going to be one of those. flashing the pants. >> No, I don't. That's an overreaction. >> I never saw I never saw Bill in a. [ __ ] Chili's commercial. Why would it. be? >> It's Apple. >> Triple Denver.

>> Actually, funny enough, bud. That is. weird cuz the moment it all started. going downhill, you could argue is when. Bill Bich appeared in that subway. commercial. >> Sat down on that bench. >> Is it true MCDC isn't letting Texas&M. scout? Uh, or is that. >> That's fake. >> Is it true MCDC made the boys run. sprints on Lambo? >> No, that was Fran Brown and Syracuse. All right, let's go to the next. overreaction. Or maybe not. This is from. Frankie Moraldo. Hashtag I don't. overreact but Ben Stonium. Incredible.

graphic designer, uh, video editor, you. name it, out of Pittsburgh. And he. created, you know, a Netflix uh, docu. series about Chris Boswell being a. serial killer. And, and that is because. Mike Tomlin had this to say about the. Wizard of Bos, who's been on a heater. for the Pittsburgh Steelers for about a. decade or so. >> And I can't say enough about Bos. Um, man, our kicker is a serial killer, man. He's He got a low pulse rate. He can't. wait to deliver.

>> That last line, I think, is the most. important one. He can't wait to deliver. Whenever you talk about kickers, you. know, you talk about the mental capacity. of it all. The fact that Tomlin can feel. the fact that this dude wants to come. out here and hit that. That's what. separates, you know, like Adam Venitary. from like me or guys that weren't like. great kickers, but good kickers. Bos has. been so good for so long. Danny Smith is. chewing on his gum with the light. knowing that Bos is there and there was. a little bit of a contract thing going. on before the season with him AJ. So the. fact that he was able to block all that.

out and knock one of those home and uh. Tomman describes him as a serial killer. which is a great compliment for a. kicker. Uh what if it's a Steelers year. AJ? What if it is the Steelers year? >> I mean they sure look good to me but. with going back to Boswell it's true. Tomlin knows there's we've all seen. people like say uh I don't know say. you're running a drill in practice and. there's a guy who's a monster who's. killing everybody and they're real slow. to get an opponent versus that kid. You. know, a lot of times no one wants to. jump up and and challenge that big kid.

Bos seems like the kid that's going to. be jumping to the front of line going 10. times in a row trying to challenge. himself against that biggest kid. So, I'm sure Bos is saying, "Yeah, I'll make. it from 70. I don't care. You guys don't. need to get any further. Here we go. Let's go. Wherever wherever I'm at, I'm. going to make that thing." And what an. absolute weapon to have as your kicker. to be that guy. >> I agree. There has to be some sort of. incentive base something coming. I would. assume. >> pay him now. Kind of how they did with. Cam. >> Yeah. Kind of the $3 million incentive. base for Cam. I assume there be. >> kind artists at work. >> Hey, making it happen. Make him happy.

>> He was walking off the field afterwards. with Tom. All is good. >> Yeah, they're happy. >> Yeah. And then. >> all the man's pumped. >> Would be hilarious. Headline. Chris. Boswell signs new four-year blah blah. blah million-dollar deal the day after. hitting a 60-yard game winner. That's. out of a movie. Could do it. >> Should do it. >> Would they? >> Or hold out. One of the two. >> Oh, you think he says I'm not doing it. anymore? >> Find somebody else to make a 60-yard. game winner, coach. See you. >> That'd be so sweet. That'd be the. coolest thing for one week. Bos is like,

"All right, Mike. I'm going to sit this. one out. Let's see if you want to pay me. now after, you know, you need another. guy to kick a 60 yard to win." Now, that. happened up in uh Buffalo with Prader. getting the job. >> Yeah. >> Prader 41 year. Did he get there? >> Thursday. Thursday. >> Thursday. Yeah. Gets your dropped in. there. >> And then hits a game winner. It's like. that's classic Prader, you know, and. maybe he if he was available, maybe. that's who the Steelers would be able to. call, but I don't know if Prader's just. stepping in hitting a 60 and maybe. actually Prader might be the only guy.

>> for the old K balls. >> Yeah, the original Kball Balls back in. the game was a big deal. Like these. dudes are going to murder these. footballs. Chris Boswell hit that 60. yard. That thing hit the net. That net. at that stadium is far back, too. Like, it's hard to, you know, because some. stadiums the nets are very close to the. uprights, so they're going to be a. little bit higher on the thing, obviously, as you go through. Some of. them are a little bit further back, there's a little bit more space in. between the upright and the stands. So, it's like he murdered that ball, crushed. it. And, uh, I think if they would have. lined him up for any distance, he's the. type of guy that's going to make it.

Like, it's going to be good enough. It's. going to be far enough. >> I love Boss. I like that he's getting. love. Hopefully, he gets a little bit of. cash out of this, too. >> Yeah. Let's not forget the 41-year-old. quarterback who started that drive on. the 19 yd line and just had another. notch on his belt for game-winning. drives. >> Hello Aaron Rogers, Pittsburgh Steelers. football. >> I was told that I was a [ __ ] idiot. for wanting him on my football team. >> What did Bruce Arian say? Bruce Arian. said they're going to be in a lot of. close games. I don't think there's. anybody I want with the two-minute other. than Aaron Rogers. Is that what he said? >> That is exactly what he said. I thought. about it yesterday. >> or Mike McCarthy. >> McCarthy. >> It was McCarthy or Yeah. I thought about. as that was happening yesterday. I was.

like, you know what? things happen on. the show all the time where people say. stuff and then it happens and I was. thinking of that during the game. yesterday because that's I needed a lot. of hope. Yeah, there's a lot of points. being scored against Pittsburgh. Steelers. Defense is very abnormal. But. Mike McCarthy saying a lot of those. games are going to be very close and. it's going to come down to Aaron in two. minutes and he gets it down. Obviously. 60-yard field goals a long way. They. lose two yards in the down right before. that game. >> But nonetheless, Pittsburgh Steelers. win. Yzers are jacked up. Now they watch. the Colts do what the Colts did, too. So.

you know there's levels to right now. after week one. Let's go to the next. overreaction. Speaking of that, from. Jonathan May at Jonathan May2434. # I don't want to overreact. But the. Colts aren't just winning games, they're. rewriting Destiny. This squad looks. ready to run the table, go undefeated, and bring the Lombardi back home for Jim. Mercy. Forget movie magic. This isn't. Indiana Jones on a big screen. This is. real life. Hell yeah, Jonathan May. This. is real life. I don't think that's an.

overreaction at all. But what he's. saying about not being Indiana Jones, I'm okay with it being Indiana Jones. If. he needs to, you know, turn over every. stone to figure whatever out. >> needs to be done to win a damn Super. Bowl, I hope Indiana Jones gets to the. bottom of it. I appreciate what Jonathan. May is saying here, Ty. >> Yeah, and there were a lot of people uh, you know, alluding to the Indiana Jones. thing. Uh, so you know that that's. great, but maybe let's let's not do that. every single week. Um, talking about us. >> No, no, I'm saying about Debb. I'm. saying literally every single.

overreaction had some sort of Indiana. Jones, you know, play on words to it, man. But I'm already sick of. >> Yeah, I'm already sick of it. Uh, but I. was thinking about it and like you when. you put everything together from what. the Colts had going on this week, like I. don't think it is an overreaction as a. Colts fan to feel this way going in that. all that stuff comes out like, okay, we're just going to suck again. People. are pissed about Daniel Jones. And then. that's on top of like the added pressure. to go out there, not just win, but look. good when they're honoring Ers. And you. have all these Colts legends back there.

Like can you imagine your mood or your. like how you would have been feeling if. the Colts a either lose that game, but. even if they if they win 2120 like. you're not coming in today the way you. are when they just beat the [ __ ] out of. them. Leave no doubt look like one of. the best teams in the league. Like if. I'm a Colts fan, I think I don't I. really don't think this is an. overreaction. Like you should feel this. way until they give you a reason not to. feel this way. We've had uh homecoming. type games before where a lot of legends. are in the building. Freeny went in. I. think it was big.

>> Dallas went in. I think it was. >> Yeah. Tar. >> Tar was big. Like they have those. This. one like everybody Yeah. like came to. it, you know, because it was uh Jim and. having Rege, Marv, even the older G OGs, Bill Brooks was there and uh you know, Payton obviously speaking, new ownership. as like everything about it like was a. big deal for the celebration of life for. Jim Ers in there and you could feel it.

in you're right in years past they would. have lost those games. >> like when everybody's in the building. and it's like all right, you know, let's. get us out of here these Yes. >> Where they would have done something. stupid or something like that and. instead it's like they just play sound. football and just beat the I think there. was a 14play drive. I think it was a 15. play drive. I think there was like a. 17play drive. Anthony Calhoun tweeted. about it. I forget the exact ones but it. was like. >> they were just drumming. >> Yeah. efficient. >> the Miami Dolphins and everybody's like.

hold I think there were some guys that. potentially had their flights scheduled. for after the first quarter you know to. potentially get out of town and instead. like wait a minute this is wait a minute. this feels a little bit different yeah. here it is 14 17 and 15 play drives. >> uh during the game scored on every. possession first team to do that in. forever whatever the stat was I forget. what it was like yeah it was awesome in. there man it really was I hope we got it. bottled. >> and I hope we're drinking it all season. Yeah. >> Was it a packed house? >> Yes. It was. >> Well, that's good because, you know,

sometimes it that just shows that. everything that's being said on the. internet is exactly true because if that. was true, no one would have showed up. for the game. >> Oh, yeah. You're right. 93% negativity. Yeah. Worse than a league. >> Was melon camp there. >> He was sitting around somewhere. >> the whole time. [Music]. >> American kids growing up in. >> banger. I didn't see him. I wouldn't be. surprised though if he's not doing like. a halftime or something at some point. New playlist in there. >> with the big three. >> Yeah, it's changed. I I wouldn't be.

surprised if we might see someone else. in there instead of that avenue. >> Who's that? >> Maybe like, you know, Ros, although I. don't know. >> Ricky Ross is playing yesterday against. the Miami Dolphins. Lot of Ricky Ross. I. like that. Yeah, cuz I was I was I was. in the suite looking out and I see. Gumpy's Dolphins tarp and his hat. >> and then on the field all I see is Colts. players dancing to Rick Ross and I'm. like, >> "Oh, so you knew right away. >> We just stole Rick Ross. It feels like. we are enjoying this a lot more than you. guys." Yeah, it was uh a lot of Jeezy in.

there, a lot of Yeah, it was. >> that's all new though. That's That's. different compared to what it was. before. >> Yeah, I there was also Jim Ers's. playlist. I think there was one in the. boss's playlist that had like he. >> from his band. >> Yeah. Uh his. >> I don't think any from his band were it. was all like just basically like sing. along. Old school banger. >> Yeah. Old school banger. It was really. good. It was really well done. I will. say. >> they're not done with it yet but there. will actually be a building in the. skyline which will be cool through the. window. Two cranes. >> Yeah. The new hotel.

>> Yeah. That's what Danny Dimes era has. brought cranes to the city. They are. building a new. >> mega hotel in Tampa. >> Holy [ __ ] Four seasons or. >> what's that? >> Four seasons indie. >> I don't know. >> Maybe. >> That's a good question. >> I forget. blue. >> Yeah. >> Fountain blue. >> Fountain. Fountain blue like Miami or. something. >> W. >> maybe cuz it's a mass. It is a massive. space. >> Yeah. That's the thing about here. If if. we are to city develop, >> there's a lot of space and it's all. flat,

>> you know, so it's very easy to build as. opposed to having to, you know, >> could be the biggest red roof in the. country. I was going to say they should. make it the biggest red roof for Best. Western just to really That'd be cool. >> Wasn't Holly in kind of the the standard. whenever it comes to all those. >> Yeah, but they don't leave the light on. for you. >> Yeah. >> Who does that? >> Motel 6. >> Yeah, but Holiday in, don't they have. the breakfast? What was theirs? >> Yeah, I stayed at a Holiday Inn last. night. >> Yeah, that was. >> Yeah. Okay. >> Yeah. I mean, >> Spring Hill Suites. They got good. continental breakfast. >> Turns out it's They do. They do. They.

have the eggs. >> Tons of eggs. All the eggs. >> 38story Signia Hotel. Signas are nice. >> Signia coming to town. >> It looks wonderful. >> It's not a holiday in or Best Western. >> That'll be cool. How do you feel about. Indiana Jones instead of Indiana Jones? >> Cuz his name is Danny. >> No, that's. >> Or Indiana. Dimes. >> Who's. >> or Indie Jones cuz. >> Or Yeah. Indie Jones. >> Yeah. Instead of Indiana Jones. Indie. Jones. >> cuz it plays on there. >> Doesn't play as well.

>> Young people know what Indiana Jones is. Do do. >> a new a new one just came out a year. ago. So I think. >> with Harrison Ford, >> I've seen them all. And what I like most. about him is when they do the uh they do. the uh. >> when he cracks his whip. >> Yeah, that's really cool. >> I also appreciate the fact that he's. always. >> carrying that gat on him. He's always. got always on an adventure, always. looking for treasure. >> He's always snooping around. >> Which one was your favorite? Well, the. the most recent one I think was good for. the generation that it was trying to.

play to, but I remember when old buddy. was doing it back in just told me. Raiders of the Lost Arc. One of your. favorite movies. >> Yeah, it was actual film. It wasn't. digital, you know, so it's just a little. different quality. >> Was surprised you weren't a Temple of. Doom guy. >> Well, the thing about the Temple of Doom. is I liked it, but I thought it was just. kind of ripping it off that other one a. little. too close. No, the other one the. >> And you were pissed when Sheila Buff, you know, got cast in it and they tried. to pass the hat off and you were like, "That [ __ ] not my indie.". >> Yeah. Just like when I was watching that. Queen show, >> Queen's Gambit. >> No, Queens. The Crown when they when.

they change the queens. That's not my. queen right there. That's going to be. tough for me to pay attention to. Well, she's older now. It's like, no, that. ain't that ain't how she's going to age. >> Kind of like Fresh Prince. >> Which one? >> Amphiv. She changed as well. >> She did change. >> I know. I don't think I remember being. as upset as I was. >> Well, that's I don't think culture at. that time was getting as upset at. things. >> Yeah. And you know, I thought about this. the other day. um you know cuz. for instance with red zone whenever I.

was getting attacked pretty heavily. which for saying we don't care which. wasn't the proper wording what I should. have said is obviously it's better. without commercials we hope everything. had no advertising with that being said. con man con man. >> I mean you can just grab yourself a. little Joseé quer will make it all much. better. >> and on that note as we are getting just. absolutely murdered and killed for. everything like that uh with the red. zone channel I should have said we would. rather no ads but the fact that it. exists like we will still watch which I.

hope and assume everybody did and you. couldn't really matter and ESPN I. started getting called a Disney they. don't they're not going to have two year. they don't even you know this is a. YouTube TV this is Google which awesome. by the way love YouTube TV they're very. kind to us and they've been very good. but they're like Disney ESPN ruins. everything I saw a lot of that and I I'm. going to let you know yeah there there's. a lot of things over the past that we. have certainly all shared the opinion. that you all have in that particular. department. I think we all have eyes and. a sense of everything like that. But. whenever people say like I used to just.

watch Sports Center, >> it was like the greatest. It was like. Sports Center was also showing you for. the first time a lot of [ __ ] like hey. here is a highlight play. Here's a. story. Here's this. Nowadays we see. everything [ __ ]. >> immediate like everything is happening. so quickly. So like having to adjust in. how you deliver things I think is a is a. tough tough comparison you know like uh. trying to compare what life because we. all grew up with Sports Center.

but also it was like the first time I'm. seeing a lot of things. >> with the sidebar when you were yeah in. your team and you're seeing it let alone. if you lived out of the market yeah from. wherever you played it's like some of. the only [ __ ] you're going to see is. that. Yeah, we're in a vastly different. time and uh I think this Red Zone. changing thing to four 15-second. commercials for a total of 1 minute, which I don't know if I I was down at. the Colts game, so I we had Red Zone on. TV. Love it. Keeps you updated with. everything. But we didn't I didn't. really feel the commercial break as much.

as everybody else. >> The start, Pat. It's just the tip of the. spear. >> I know. I know. I know it is. And And. here's what I'm going to say, and I. don't speak for everybody clearly. >> No matter what they do, I'm going to. [ __ ] watch it. >> Yep. Yep. And I don't like that. I'm. telling you, I don't like it, >> but I'm going to watch it. >> That's a reality. >> It's a great idea. >> It's the best product there. >> Keep it split screen. Keep it split. screen and we're fine. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Got to do the playth through. >> Yeah, that's it. >> Got to do the play through. All right, let's go to the next overreaction, shall. we? This from Gambling Gary, the 96.

draft. # I don't want to overreact, but. keep that seat warm because old Chuck. Pagano might be back in it by. Thanksgiving. If Jier Alexander keeps. getting beat like a drum, >> the Ravens secondary look like a JV team. out there. And that's supposed to be our. strong suit. Tighten up, Chuck. >> I don't like that. Gary. >> I didn't like it either. >> These are my first time seeing these, AJ. They were obviously picked by Tai. It's a full surprise. I did not know. Chuck Pagano was going to catch it in.

his Italian shins, but I guess that. would make sense if Josh Allen's able to. come back from being 15 down with less. than four minutes against a defense that. is highly highly regarded as being one. of the best in the league. Chuck Bon. knows that though. He knows that back. into the NFL fire is going to be these. types of days. And Josh Allen is an. alien in that whole thing. Jier. Alexander, I think, did talk a little. bit about it playing a really good. quarterback here. We got to continue to. uh mold and grow forward. What should we. think about this Baltimore Ravens. defense after what they gave up to Josh. Allen. >> I mean that's that's tough whenever you.

are a defense and you are on the other. side of a quarterback doing something uh. historic. I have personal experience. with that. Played against uh Big Ben in. in Hinesfield at at the time and I think. he threw for like 500 like six. touchdowns. Crazy. It was on the field. So that's never a good feeling but long. season ahead. You got a bunch of talent, bunch of first rounders in that. secondary. So yeah, as a fan and. gambling Gary probably has some money on. it too, but as a fan you do think that. you do lean on that to be one of your. strengths of your team. But they will. figure it out. They got the talent, they.

got the coaches. We're not keeping his. seat warm for Chuck. When he's ready to. come back, he'll come back after he. hoisted the Lombardi, but uh you know, you got to get it done and Josh Allen is. a generational talent at the position. So [ __ ] like this will happen. Uh but. yeah, it was it was ugly and I can. understand where Gambling Gary's coming. from, but he's an [ __ ] And Ty, you're an [ __ ] too, for picking. >> picking that one. Yeah, there's a lot of. different options out there that could. have got the point across, but I guess. keeping a seat warm for Chuck is. certainly something that would brighten. our day because it would be great to. have Chuck Bagano around here. >> Love you, coach. >> I don't know how today is for coach John.

Harbaugh and the entire Baltimore Ravens. staff. There's some stats coming out. about that whole situation. That's. certainly disappointing. >> I assume that's not a fun existence uh. over there. I appreciate though that um. Budda said it was my fault. >> He did. >> But it's not me. It's not me, buddy. He. said, "Mr. Mr. Mackey jinxed us. >> He said, "I thought I he made it, buddy.". >> Then you were at Latro. >> How would you jinx? >> He's with the Steelers. No, Mr. McAfee. wouldn't do that. >> But I would never I was on your side, buddy reaction as the Baltimore Ravens.

continue to do things that nobody else. could do. Derrick Henry, he's 3 what. one? >> Mhm. >> Faster, stronger than he's ever looked. >> Lamar Jackson doing Lamar Jackson [ __ ]. on a very regular basis. I was excited. for Butter. I was pumped for Butter. Yeah, >> I was pumped for Butter and then Butter. started thinking after the game. This guy [ __ ] jinxed us and I won't. let him know I it was not on purpose if. that was the case. AJ, I am a Baltimore. Ravens fan. I hope the Baltimore Ravens.

play well and I think last night was a. great AFC playoff game that we're going. to see in a few months from now, brother. Don't you think? >> Yeah, the Ravens Ravens fans should not. uh not be freaking out. They know that. they're going to be fine. Lamar Jackson, that offense and their defense is going. to be just fine. They ran into a. juggernaut. The Bills and Josh Allen. We. know that dude is pretty pretty damn. special. So, we just It was a great. game. Here we go. Like, we got plenty. more to figure things out. >> Almost blocks that field goal. >> Oh, he could. Yeah. You see him jumping. like, "Oh my goodness. I had that.". >> He was way too clean there. If I'm.

Buffalo, we need to figure that out very. quick. >> Look at him. Oh, >> and he's the guy to do that, too. I. mean, he probably has the perfect timing. for perfect sense. >> Why did he block out? Why'd you block. out? >> I can't believe you baited him. >> Who? I did not ass. his ass. >> No, I did not. And if Kyle Hamilton. blocks that, but. >> that's why he didn't. >> No. >> Don't you. turn the audio on.

>> You're going have to zoom out a little. bit, I think. >> Oh, we'll be back. >> Seasons as the Ravens quarterback. >> Well, look at Garrett, bro. Look at. Garrett. Nobody can stop it. Like things. were going so good. Things were going so. good on all cylinders. >> Great night. >> Doing nothing but greatness. >> Tackling opportunities against Derk. Henry. You can just about forget about.

it. >> This us playing football right here. We got bitched by Pat McAfee in it. What? This might be Pat McAfee fault, bro. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> But it might be Pat McAfee fault, bro. >> Whoa. Whoa. >> He jinxed us. >> No. >> Maybe.

>> He didn't said it. Oh, he done baited. butter. Oh, he done baited butter. No, I. didn't. >> Oh, he done got me. >> No. >> Oh, Pat got me. >> No, I didn't pay you, Butter. I'm on. your side, butter, >> bro. It was like after this play, right. before the halftime, Pat was like, "This. your year.". >> No, I was asking a question. >> Got his ass. >> And but fell for the bait,

bro. What? What? I done said hell yeah. Sorry. Yeah. [ __ ] bro. He done got us. I a seen the Steelers. wouldn't do that. Pat would Pat wouldn't. do that. He wouldn't do that. >> You're right. >> He wouldn't do that. He wouldn't do. that. >> You're right. >> He wouldn't do that. He wouldn't do. that. Right. He wouldn't do that. >> I didn't. You're right. You're right. >> That's a man with in integrity right. there. Exactly. >> He wouldn't do that. Exactly.

>> I might give him the benefit of the. doubt. >> Thank you, brother. Thank you, buddy. Okay. That's good. I'm happy. He It took. him a long time to get there, dude. And. that was quite a quick amount of time. I. don't know if he was really there yet, >> but I want to love Butter. No, I didn't. bait you. I was on your side. >> I love Jimmy's famous seafood. >> Yeah, you do. >> I love I love that coach Pagano's there. >> Mhm. Yeah. >> I would like to see the Baltimore Ravens. going. Now the Colts all of a sudden are. a monster or a problem. And we did go to. the Pittsburgh Steelers training camp. Doesn't necessarily mean I'm a Steelers. fan.

>> Ravens didn't invite us. >> Would like to see them do well though. I. got a lot of friends over there. I I. love Baltimore. >> Where the Colts come from? >> Yeah, they were in Baltimore. Yeah, they're in Baltimore. Yeah. Then they. left, you know, then they came here to. Indianapolis. We celebrated that this. weekend, actually. But I that does I did. not have that on my mind. >> I love butter. >> Man of integrity. >> I was excited to see Stavyi. >> and Butter. >> all year. All year. I was pumped for. that. >> Need them together. >> Need them together. >> That Ravens might need them together, too. >> Something to think about.

>> It's a lot of power. might be the most. entertaining fan. >> in the entire league. >> Yeah, >> I guess there isn't a might be to that. I think they are. >> Yeah, I think. >> Well, we got the flow. >> Yeah, we got the Let's not get out of. hand. >> Yeah, that's true. >> He's got a lot of moxy. >> He's a different category. >> He had a great performance. He He nailed. the halftime, I'll tell you. >> Yes. >> Whenever I heard he was going to do a. live show in front of 60,000 people, I. was a little bit eager to see how it. went. Nailed it. >> Yeah, he did. >> Absolutely nailed it. Moxy shine. through. >> That's the flow. >> But he's more singer. Like you can't.

compare like Dave Chappelle and Kanye. when it comes to art, you know, cuz his. is comedy, his is music. >> Did you see uh Shane opened up for Zack. Bryan at Notre Dame Stadium? >> Did not see the full thing. You saw like. 5 seconds. >> Saw a couple of the clips where Shane. was wearing a helmet and dancing. You. saw that? >> No, I I didn't see. >> Yeah, he has full Notre Dame football. helmet on. He's dancing on a stage, obviously. >> Is that the first time that's happened? >> Absolutely. Now dancing with a helmet. on. I I assume it's. >> No, a comedian opening up for a. musician. >> So that's what he said actually. Uh, Zack, Zack asked him if he wanted to go. first or second. He was like, "What the.

fuck?". >> That's what I saw. Yeah. >> Let me guess. So, you're going to play. just [ __ ] until when? 10:00 and then. I'll just go hit him with some comedy. afterwards. >> So, he said, "Uh, what do I go out there. and say?" So, you guys jerk off lately. or. >> Exactly. >> Yeah, I assume. There he is. There he is. having a good time. Yep. Yep. On stage. in front of everybody the whole time. having a great time. Yep. Good to see. you guys. Thank you. We're going to go. win national championship now. They got. a big game this weekend. >> Huge. >> Texas A&M. got to win. They can't go and. college is doing it, man. >> Yes, it was great. >> There was a couple blowouts, obviously.

We'll talk to Coach Rule uh here in a. couple days. He won like 69 nothing or. something. >> But like Mississippi State, >> unbelievable. >> They had two wins last year. Okay. And. then I got Pete Fam telling me they got. this freshman quarterback who's the best. quarterback they've had since Dak. Prescott and they're going to play him a. couple plays. And I'm like, [ __ ] put. the guy in. What do we He won two games. So, my entire thought about Mississippi. State was like a negative one going into. game day because I'm like, why don't. they play the guy that they got that's. supposed to be the guy? Why? I don't get. that. Seems like they're trying to lose. Yeah, right. That place was awesome.

They got a whole new game uh setup. I. guess game ops are crazy down there. They got new intro, new everything, new. show was crazy. >> Everything was sick. And then obviously. they get a huge win and their fans. immediately I think it's like an. engineering school. Immediately get the. field goal bound and take that thing. through town. It's like shout out to the. Bulldogs, man. I did not expect that. Arizona State obviously did not expect. that and a team that made the college. football playoff last year and won the. Big 12 loses to Mississippi State. And. this drums up now when conversations. start at the end of the year for college. football playoff.

>> Who's we'll just throw out a team name. that is in our conference that is not. Yes, it will. >> in the playoff or winning uh their. conference. Mississippi State for. instance, how many Big 12 teams are. supposed to be in there? Cuz uh. >> if they had to play in Starkville just. one time, are they going to win? Like. that is literally what that feeds. Oklahoma getting a huge win over. Michigan, >> huge deal. Like uh uh for the SEC. obviously and I mentioned that in my. pick, but it was real. It was like, hey, >> the SEC conversation gets real loud. around college football playoff for good.

reason. The cultures down there, the. environments, the players, the. everything. The team's awesome, incredible, great for college ball. But. there, it's always talked about as if. it's better than Big 10, better than the. Big 10, way better than the Big 10. whenever it comes to football on the. field. So in the playoff whenever Ohio. State does what it does to Tennessee. then Ohio State opens up with Texas the. number one team in the country does that. it's like people were like wait a minute. is that a thing of the past the whole. SEC is better than the Big 10 and this. Oklahoma team with Matar and Arbuckle as. the offensive coordinator and a venable.

defense they're for real. So like I had. a lot of Michigan people that are full. panic you know and I saw Porty's. reaction talking about how he felt like. he was lied to or whatever by Bryce. Underwood and everything how that he was. going to be like that was his reaction. He was like very He's not the only. There's a lot of Michigan people that. are like very bummed out that I was. talking to and it's like hey I think. Oklahoma's for real. I I think Oklahoma. is the real deal this year offensively. whenever you bring in a quarterback and. the offensive coordinator it's like it. has worked a lot in the past because the. quarterback knows exactly what to do on. every single play so you can make. everybody else catch up. But if.

everybody else knows what to do and the. quarterback doesn't like you're going to. be slow. You're going to be behind cuz. he's the one making the decisions. When. the quarterback knows every aspect of. the offense, it's like and then you plug. in better athletes and better players at. all the spots and then venibables has. that defense. It's like I think. Oklahoma's real deal. Like I think they. are very good. AJ, >> I think they're great. I mean, talk. about the confidence they have in. materials. Well, they you showed it. earlier. They run a double move backed. up in your own end zone. Okay. Like you. must feel pretty good about what your. offensive line can do and what your. quarterback is able to do. What a.

beautiful ball right here, too. But. Matier is a player, bro. I I really. enjoy watching him and good for. Venables. I think Benles is a a great. personality for all of college football. >> Very Jack, too. We saw him on the set. there for college game day. He's he's. pretty built, good intensity, always. very cool to me and to the show. Says he. watches show, knows the shows exist. Uh. which is pretty cool. But he's always. going to have a good defense. >> They were flying around and hitting so. hard. Michigan, those boys were flying. around and hitting, too. But that was a. very, very violent violent football. game. Big time win. I love Matar, too.

just his his awareness as like a great. quarterback, great thrower, but his. awareness as a ball carrier, like him. just knowing like the spatial awareness. he has in traffic is very very special. Big time win for the SEC. It's big time. loss from the SEC, too. >> Who? >> Boys down in Gainesville. >> Yeah, we got a little USF on a little. bit of a heater here. Uh Byron is a dog, the quarterback, and the USF coaches. were seen celebrating afterwards. I. think they know they got a team and the. Florida Gator needed this one. I I think. we all thought that Billy Napier and DJ.

Lagway and the Florida Gator were for. real this year. We all thought maybe. Billy Napier's culture has settled in. and they're going to do their thing. USF. gets a massive win. A Grammatica hits a. walk-off game winner down there. And uh. I picked against USF. I think we all. need to just start having a little bit. more respect. And I think I was talking. to uh Edin James. >> Mhm. >> And he said USF's got a lot of Florida. boys. >> Yep. >> Anytime Florida boys take on Florida. boys, there's a lot. It's a little bit. different. He said it's it's hard to. judge those particular games as if it's.

any other game. Is that an accurate. depiction? >> Oh, yeah. Very very much so. And I feel. like it's like that a lot of places. Even uh the receiver from Oklahoma, he. was a Michigan kid that wasn't offered. by Michigan. So you that's everybody in. South Florida, you want to go to, you. want to go to Miami, you want to go to. uh Florida State, Florida, all these big. schools and you kind of probably get. overlooked and go to USF. And you. remember when we were in the Big East, like I think you might have talked about. a little bit on game day like recruiting. those South Florida boys with Growy and. everybody else like they built the. powerhouse. I think they got ranked like.

number two or three in the nation at one. point just by recruiting their kids and. you have that chip on your shoulder. The. coaches know that. You saw the coaches. reaction up in the press box. Like. that's something you rarely see. I don't. know how much it actually happens, but. that's something you rarely see as a fan. outside of the building. But yeah, you. can build up a program quick and it's. hard to judge those type of I guess it. wouldn't be considered a rivalry game. But if I grew up and we played each. other in high school, but you were a. fivestar and I was a two star, but I. felt like I was better than you. When. I'm lined up on you on Saturday with. this jersey on, it's going to mean a. little more for sure. >> Yep. And do you know who USF has this.

Saturday? >> Oh, yeah. >> Definitely. >> The Hurricane. >> Yeah, definitely. >> Yeah, they're all playing each other. Mhm. >> I like that they're all playing each. other cuz Florida's still got Florida. State and Miami, I think, on on the. horizon and everything like that. Miami. also doing the same thing. And that's, >> you know, you talk to Florida football. people, it's like, hey, these games. right here are going to be showtime, right? They are going to be real. showtime. I guess SMU's got a bunch of. Florida boys, too, from what I've been. told. So, like how SMU does obviously. they lose to Baylor in a thriller, which.

I think everybody was kind of calling. for whenever you're thinking about that. game. 48 45. Yeah, >> I think is what that game ended up. being. Uh, but SMU, I guess they're. playing Miami and Edge was like, uh, lot. of Florida boys on SMU, so like rule out. everything whenever they play. It's. like, is this a new stat that I need to. start looking for? Hey, where where are. the Florida boys at and when do they. play against the Florida schools? Ed was. talking like. >> Yeah, that's real you, I think, cuz. Rhett Lashley came from Miami if I'm not. wrong, and he brought a bunch of Miami.

dudes with him, you know, just he knows. >> Yes. Yes. And like recruiting, people. talk all the time about like recruiting. your own state in your own area and how. important that is. Like you're the team. Like if USF goes on and sweeps all the. Florida teams, all of a sudden you're. that school in Florida. And I'm not. saying they're going to like flip. recruits or anything like that, but you. get one or two more guys from South. Florida that different school doesn't. get just because you do end up being the. best team in South Florida, that. probably changes a lot of stuff for your. program. >> They were problematic for us when we.

went down there. I mean they um. the shop boys maybe party like a rock. >> party like a rockar. Is that the shop. boys? >> I think so. >> They had a concert outside the stadium. whenever we went down and played there. one night. It was a big deal. They had a. concert outside. Full free festival. >> Mhm. >> Played stadium, right? Same. >> Yeah. The whole thing. It was the first. time playing there, I think. >> Okay. >> And are the Yankees down in that area, too? >> Yes. >> Yeah. That was Rich Rod's only time I've.

ever seen him use a prop. We went down. there. They're having a festival. They're having a concert. It's a. Thursday night game. I think they're. selling out. They think it's going to be. the biggest home attendance or whatever. And he said, "Uh, we just drove by their. facility." He said, "We have become the. [ __ ] Yankees." Okay? And he pulls out. the Yankees hat and has NY on it or. whatever. And he goes, "And this USF. team thinks they've arrived. Not [ __ ]. yet is what he was." So we all wore. Yankees hats into the bill. We lost. And. I'll tell you what, I don't think Rich.

Rod probably to this day will ever do. any of that [ __ ] ever. >> Ever again. >> You leave them in the locker room. >> Oh, I I have no idea where those things. were. They did not make their way back. >> I know that it was a that USF team was. problematic for us cuz they were fast. Yeah, >> they're very fast and very tough. And. with our offense, if you get. penetration, you could kind of stop us. >> And by stop us, slow us down at least. Nobody's going to be able to really stop. us. And they had a team better. >> Oh, yeah. >> Feels like they got one now. >> Yeah. Feels like they got a real team. >> They're still very fast. >> You know who else has a team?

>> Who's that? Who? >> You see that hawk mole? >> Wow. Wow. >> Roco Beck is a first round drive. >> He's a guy. >> Yeah, >> Roco Beck is an adult. He is playing. college football. Iowa State gets a. massive win over Iowa in the Sihawk. Bowl. Comes down to a 54 yer for. Conraardi. I said that Drew Street uh. Stevens, the kicker for Iowa, was going. to hit a gamewinner. Instead, it was. Conraardi. This was a very kicker. dominant game. lot the first nine points. I think scored raw from kickers. obviously a gamewinner kick uh both.

kickers very talented what did you learn. from the game Ty Schmidz Iowa State and. Tyrese Hallebertton are dancing in the. faces of Iowa Hawkeyes fans. >> yeah I mean that's that's probably the. biggest thing listen Iowa State's better. this year but I haven't thought about. this game since it ended Iowa State. folks will celebrate this bring it up. every time they can over the next year. and that's fine you know you can do that. they have that right because they won I. may have put too many chips into the. Mark Granowski's going to save us, you. know, basket. He's not uh unfortunately. He's just [ __ ] not. And I'm I'm not.

going to rip on the guy because their. skill you you facetimed me on Saturday. night and you you were with Dallas Clark. and me and him kind of just had a nice. little twominute like, "Hey, what the. [ __ ] going on with the Hawks, you. know, real quick?" And and he was he was. very complimentary still obviously. >> Yeah. He believes that he believes long. season and I believe too, you know, for. for an extent uh you know, or to an. extent, their skill position players. just aren't good. Receivers don't get. open. They don't have the uh the batch. of tight ends that they usually do. So,

you know, you're kind of asking. Granowski to beat Josh Allen. Well, there's only one Josh Allen, you know, so. >> Oh, maybe two. Justin Herbert. >> Well, maybe three, >> but his name is maybe four. >> Yeah, but yeah, but those guys are NFL. quarterbacks. Those are their names. I'm. saying this guy, you know, he he was. good playing against the the lower. competition. >> Iowa State's good, but I I'll be honest. with you. >> Uh really ever since the uh Iowa's. offense started looking like this, so. what 10 years ago, maybe like right a. maybe close to right after I graduated.

from college, I said if Iowa loses a. game for the most part, you know, it's. fun coming on here and going apeshit. because I do care. But I'll tell you. what, when the Packers look like they. did on Sunday, >> oh my gosh, >> it's very easy. He's. >> already giving up. >> It's very easy to say, "Okay, >> national champion. >> I'm not going to spend another [ __ ]. second thinking about the 13 points that. Iowa scored on Saturday in cuz they. should have won that game. They should. have. They played like hammered dog [ __ ]. like they kind of do every week." Uh,

Rockco Beck is good. He threw for like. 122 yards. So, first round draft pick. maybe. But, you know, but uh Iowa's. defense is still pretty [ __ ] good. If. they could just get a guy who's halfway. [ __ ] decent playing quarterback, just. halfway. >> Well, you're not going to get any wide. receivers. You think your wide rece. the wishbone? >> Yeah, the wishbone is that's that rude. that I saw the Iowa quarterback. >> Yeah. Yeah. He's had like the worst. start in the history of college. football. Uh he's he's completed like 48.

passes for like 127 yards or something. It's bad. It's not good. But you're. right. You know, we get a couple. transfers in, they're like, "Hey, this. guy was number three at Northwestern. He. wants to come play at Iowa." It's like, "Well, Jesus [ __ ] Christ. If this guy. couldn't see the field at Northwestern, we're expecting him to catch a 100 balls. and have 1,200 yards this year. Give me. a [ __ ] break. No way. Iowa needs to. rush for 450 yards every single week.". >> It's fun to watch, too, right? >> Yeah. >> I don't mind it cuz listen, I got I got.

the flash of the Packers now. So, you. know, I I can kind of balance I can have. the best of both worlds. to just watch a. [ __ ] hard-nosed, gritty, shitty, boring football game on Saturday for 3. hours. And it I actually tweeted uh I. was like, "You know what? Is this Iowa. offense maybe like giving me a stroke. because I was smelling something. burning." Luckily, that wasn't the case. There was just, you know, I had had a. problem with my furnace, so that's what. I was smelling. It wasn't Iowa. >> Turn them on for the first time. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah. Anytime you anytime you light some. fire, anything that's left over.

>> Well, turns out I got a blower out. So, I'm going to have to get my furnace. fixed. So that was kind of just another. one-two punch on top of the but you. know, hey, the Hawks are going to do. what the Hawks do. We're probably not. going to go to the playoff this year, unfortunately. But they could still make. some noise. And now it's just, hey, let's try to ruin Oregon season or let's. try to ruin Penn State season. That's. that's really where I'm at. >> Yeah. Or it's unfortunate. >> You you could think about having a. little bit of the Quervo's Devil's. Reserve. Maybe help help you out on. those Saturdays. A little little. tequila. >> There's nothing I love more than uh. green booze, you know. So, it's it's a.

green bottle. It's a green bottle. I may. crack this thing open and have a you. know, >> green bottle. Green bottle is not green. bottle. It's not green. >> Guess what? It's clear booze. >> Yeah. Okay. Okay. You're right. Cuz I. am. I see this on the on the in the. stores. I'm [ __ ] grabbing my I'm just. a tractor be. >> Explain to them what it is. >> Conor and I had a whole mess of it this. week. Delicious. >> Yeah. What you don't understand is that. the Quervo Devil Reserve is a sweet. tropical spicy infused tequila that is. smoothly and devilishly good. And and. for the record, it is delicious. I I'm.

not a tequila guy, but when I do drink. it, it is devil's reserve, and it is. fantastic. It's time to listen to the. little devil on your shoulder pour. around his shots and get ready to raise. a little bit of hell. >> Yeah. >> Go to your local liquor store to go or. go to quervo.com to purchase your own. bottle of mischief. That's what Tai. means by like the green bottle, the. green coloring. It's not It's not green. liquid. It's just a green bottle. And. you can see the bottle does kind of. wreak of mischief. You know, when you.

when you look at it, you can see maybe. that. >> this guy's a lot of mischief. >> This guy up to what is the devil up to? >> There's that devil on my shoulder. Oh, is that No, that's not the devil. That's. just a little bit of Quervo's devil's. reserve. But remember, you must be 21. years of age to consume alcohol. Uh, and. please drink responsibly or you'll end. up like Mitt. >> That's right. And many others. Sweet. Tropical spicy. >> Boom. >> Quervo. >> Quervo's devil's reserve, baby.

>> Praise the hell. >> Devilishly good. >> Hell yeah. I was going to read by you. guys. >> Wow. Why am I helping? >> I do like that the Iowa Hawkeye football. team immediately leads to a booze. advertisement. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Hey, that's Big 10 football. >> It is. >> That's Big 10 football. >> It is. Amen. >> How long are you guys going to do that. over there in Iowa? Uh, who knows? Let's. move along. Did you see the University. of Louisiana Monroe punter? >> Yes. >> His name is McKenzie Ryan. Okay. And. although their team got their asses. beat, and this wasn't his best punt,

what he did at the end of it was. certainly desirable. Out of Australia, Lad hits a little worm banner down the. right hash. Oh no, he's breaking free. Who's going to stop him? I got him. Hey, >> Lariat clos line from hell from McKenzie. Ryan as he roughs it up with the boys a. little bit afterwards. Alabama would go. on to score just a few plays later, but. nonetheless, a punter with a massive hit. should be showcased. Not his best punt I. think he would even say, but obviously a. lot of people following each other. That's not good. Never want to see.

anybody stack behind each other in punt. returns. McKenzie said, "Let me go ahead. and get underneath the block and lay his. ass out.". >> I assume he played some sort of rugby or. Aussie rules football over in Australia. And uh that move right there little. cheeky. >> Yeah, >> that is an Aussie rules football. Certainly maybe a play and then flexing. on them too letting them know that hey. listen. >> oh. >> you guys might win by 40 but you'll. never forget the time McKenzie Ryan pow. right across your kisser I love that I.

love everything about it AJ. >> that's the only thing that can save an. explosive return right like coach is. going to be pissed everyone's going to. be pissed but hey at least our punter. got to have a little highlight shot I'm. sure that was run all over Sports Center. >> if it was a. um if that was a home game place would. have went crazy Uh, whenever I tackled. Trendan Holiday, every time I made a. tackle, place made noise. But when I. tackled Trendan Holiday, Place went. >> pretty apeshit and they were getting the. ball at the fifth. Pton Mann is getting. the ball at the 50. >> Yeah, great return.

>> It completely failed. I completely. failed my job. Everything that we did. was wrong. Supposed to be a touchback. Wasn't a touchback. Trinidon Holiday. gets a massive return. Nobody's covering. [ __ ] They're supposed to be trapped. back there because Pton Manning's very. good. So, we're trying to give him a. long field. Now, I think I did have six. inside to 20. Uh when I came to punting, I think it was a very long field. Maybe. the best I game I've ever had. Nonetheless, the kickoff though, getting. all the way out there sucks. This is not. good. This is terrible for all parties. Huge hit. Place goes crazy. Get the. sideline. Everybody's like, "Yeah, >> yeah.".

>> Like that was ass, bro. That was the. worst start that we could possibly have. >> You kept him out of the end zone. >> Yes, you did. >> Debb. That's the first play of defense. Kickoff, punt, first play defense. You. set the tone. >> I wore a defense jersey. >> Yeah. Hell yeah. in practice, you know, Vinnie was on the offense, >> so that was always uh that was always. very real. But anytime anybody cheered. for a tackle, I was always like, if I'm. tackling him, we [ __ ] we [ __ ] up. >> pretty good. And that was normally my. thought. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] Panicking running. through. And also, let's make sure they. think they can get the edge.

>> Yeah, >> always. Yeah, we're baiting tackle. >> We are a fishing shop. We're going to. bait them to think that they can get by. and then we're going to tackle them. I. saw somebody uh for the Buffalo Bills. >> Oh, >> if they're going to do the bait and. tackle thing. >> Yeah. You got to make sure. >> any of their safeties. It happened to. all night long to their safety. >> Yeah. You got to be able to close that. distance. Correct. That is the whole. entire. >> could have been Taylor turns it on. pretty quick. >> That's a [ __ ] nightmare as a deep a. deep defender, a safety. Like that's the.

one Saturday night that's when you think. especially playing against Derek Henry. when that [ __ ] hole opens up. >> 53. >> cuz cuz you're one of the safeties on. kickoff like you know it's two safeties. you're the middle safety pretty much. when you are that post safety and you. got 22 or anybody that looks like this. guy coming down and hatching at you that. is a [ __ ] nightmare. >> See for you guys uh I think the the the. runners with the ball have respect for. you guys. >> Okay so for most kickers and punters not. a lot of respect. So, in warm-ups, I'm. trying to give little pieces of intel.

into their brain, like, "Hey, run right. by me." You know, like, "Run right by. me. I'm slow. I'm unathletic.". >> So, then hopefully in the game, they. actually do that. This one's tough, though. That one's tough. Come to Phil. Come to Phil and then he just runs right. by you. That's the You got to close that. sideline. But, nonetheless, Derrick. Henry's done that to a lot of people. >> Oh, yeah. >> He's done it. And thank God I never had. to do that. >> The first, can you imagine playing this. guy in high school? Like the craziest. the craziest [ __ ] stat I heard this. weekend was like this guy's in his ninth.

year in the NFL has had all these. records and still hasn't reached I think. what is he like 600 yards away. >> I think now he's like 500. >> from his high school total we play like. 10 11 games in high school maybe like. that is absolutely [ __ ] ridiculous. He had to be the absolute king. >> Yeah, he had his high school,000. >> Yeah, he rushed like 13,000. >> touchdowns a game. >> It's insane. So that was midway through. the game. So he ended up right. He. finished with what? >> 12,124.

yards in high school. >> High school. >> How many touchdowns? I assume he had. like eight touchdown nights. >> 180 probably. >> Oh my gosh. Think about how much fun. high school had to be for him. >> Mhm. My god. >> That's why he's so mature. He had. everything offered to him whenever he. was like 14 scoring. Hey, all right. All. right, let me get past this. And then. he's like the in the gym he does all the. insane workouts and [ __ ] I mean, he's. been great since the day we saw him. >> That record 53. >> 153 rushing touchdowns. >> That high school record. >> Yeah, that high school record got. broken. I'm I'm pretty sure by I thought.

Nas didn't. Wasn't there an absurd. This says 153 rushing touchdowns over. four seasons. In his senior year, rushed. for an astounding 4,261 yards and 55. touchdowns. >> Pretty good year. breaking multiple. Florida single season records and. setting a national single game recording. uh 510 yards in one game. Jesus. >> Yeah, I think Naji Harris broke his some. of his high school records. Not all of. them. That's crazy. >> All right, let's make some picks for. tonight's game. Let's get the hell out. of here. Today is a good day. >> Great day. >> I'm thankful we're here.

>> A great game tonight, too. >> I agree. NFC North is going to have a. lot of implications down the road. So, tonight is very important. The JJ. McCarthy era starts. The Ben Johnson, Caleb Williams era starts. Will Kevin. Oonnell maintain his offensive greatness. with a brand new quarterback that had to. sit out his entire rookie year with an. injury? Everybody has said that JJ. McCarthy is a guy. Will he be tonight? We shall see as he takes on his hometown. Chicago Bears. Ben Johnson, there's a. new sheriff in town actually more. accountability, a little bit more of a.

hard ass. Will that pay off or will that. hurt them? Will he lose the locker room. early like other hard asses have if. their team doesn't win? Or will this. Chicago Bears team be everything that we. hope Caleb Williams could be in his NFL. career? The current spread still one and. a half. >> Yes, it is. >> Minnesota favored on the road. >> Tone, what do you like in this? >> I like the over first and foremost. >> Okay. I think both offenses are going to. do well even though both defenses. seemingly will be better from the jump. >> Yes. Uh but just the the injury news in. the secondaries that Shaft talked about.

Um, so I I kind of like the over in that. situation. Uh, and I'm going to go with. the Bears. >> Okay. You like the Bears, Debbutch? Uh, I heard you made the pitch in the. comments section. Somebody made a very. nice graphic. That was a beautiful. graphic. >> Yeah. I wish they didn't because it. I didn't even bring it up. You noticed I. didn't even bring it up earlier. Knew it. existed. Didn't want to talk about it. We're all going to hit the ball and then. miss the ball every once in a while. Tonight though, we can make it up. What. have you done for me lately? Who do you. like? How do you like it? Oh, uh, remaining uh, returning Dcoordinator.

Flores. They did really good against the. Bears last year on third down. especially. But you mentioned new. sheriff of town. I am on the Caleb. Williams is going to be good with Ben. Johnson train. Okay. >> But I'm not going against my former. teammate KOC. I think JJ McCarthy shows. up and Justin Jefferson definitely shows. up big time tonight. So, I'm going with. the Vikings on the road getting a big. time game on Monday Night Football. >> 8:15 on ESPN and ABC. Uh ESPN 2 will. have the Manning brothers in a simal. cast. It should be a magical evening of.

vanty North Football. AJ, are you going. with the Minnesota Vikings minus one and. a half with Dutch? >> Uh yes, I am going to take the Minnesota. Vikings. I I mean being favored on the. road, that's got to be a little bit uh. I'm sure the Bears are pissed off and. Ben Johnson are pissed off about that. I. think the Bears will be there. I think. Caleb will be good. I just think it. might take a little bit of time with Ben. Johnson to figure it out. >> Just like Jared Dolph with his new OC. Yep. And everything either. >> Yes. Jared Goff. >> Oh, you remember Goflowski is what. everyone's No,

>> a lot of people are the year of Goofy. >> I think it might take a little bit for. Caleb and Ben just from what we've. heard. I think there is greatness in. there, but just like everybody else is. saying. And if you want to use us as. motivation, you certainly can. I'll take. the Vikings uh as well. All right, we'll. be back tomorrow. We can't wait. We're. so thankful for all of you. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice that might. change our life. Football season's back. Let's enjoy it all. Team on me. Team on. three. 1 2 3. Goodbye.
