[Applause]. life SP Sport sport sport sport hello.

beautiful people and Welcome to our. humble AB Bo the Thunderdome on the. sports Thursday March 6th 2025 this. program starts right. now sports are magnificent in today will. be talking about all of them uh. obviously football is going to be a. topic of conversation because there's a. lot of drama on what players are being. released from where what players are. potentially going to get signed to what. teams and who is going to end up making. the move this offseason to propel them.

to a Lombardi conversation uh big cut. came out of Los Angeles obviously trade. talk out of Seattle is hot in the. streets everywhere else there is Magic. happening and that's why in the second. hour we will feel the. be that's right we will take a visit to. uh the New York Giants to see what. they're thinking with art stap to we'll. take a visit to Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. to see what's going on over there we'll. take a visit to San Francisco because. obviously there's always a lot of. chatter and then we'll obviously dive. into all the story lines that are. happening around the rest of the league. in the first we have JJ Watt joining us.

wow that's can't wait to catch up with. Jade he's no longer going to be playing. for the Cincinnati Bengals because his. goalie forgot how to play goalie and let. up a goal for the first time in like 11. games even though he had a fantastic. shutout streak that was maybe going to. force JJ Watt to play for the Bangles. because that was the agreement he and. the goalie lad came together to for him. to play his best soccer for the Burnley. team which is who JJ owns over there in. the second league in England good. investment I think that team's only on. its way up especially if they got this.

goalie who has 10 straight shutouts or. something like that maybe need to barter. another thing with this guy to motivate. him further to get some big time stops. we also have Mike rup joining us Stanley. Cup champion yeah oetkin of the. Washington Capitals is only 10 goals. away from becoming the alltime leading. scorer sorry 11 goals away I think from. becoming the all-time leading scorer in. the history 10 okay nine ties 10 breaks. it uh the all-time leading score in the. history of the NHL he's chasing uh way. grety uh the great one obviously is uh.

historic for what he was able to. accomplish on the ice and what oetkin. has been able to do in his kitchen I. mean he used to just sit at the blue. line on the left side coming in just. like this and they would feed him and. this Russian man would just blast Pucks. in the back of he's been doing this. since I've uh come to know him what 20. years ago it feels like him and Sydney. Crosby basically come in around the same. exact time he and Sid had a great. rivalry in the Eastern Conference. obviously he and Sid have gone on to. live up to all the hyp that was kind of.

made about them whenever they were young. Lads coming into the NHL and uh what. oetkin has done at from a goal scoring. standpoint and also a tough guy he'll. fight you he's Russian so he'll do that. he'll also drink a little bit he'll uh. he'll eat some potato chips right before. a game he'll have a piece of pizza H in. between the periods I mean he's an old. school throwback uh hockey player who. just so happens to be maybe the greatest. goal scorer when it's all said and done. 10 goals away from getting it done so. we'll talk to rup Stanley Cup champion. about all that and what else is going on. around the NHL now the reason why wayo.

is considered the great one is because. uh even if he took away all of his goals. he'd still be the alltime leader in. points yeah with all his assists that he. has like he o oetkin known goal scorer. that is it now he certainly is a. playmaker because he's oetkin and he's. sick and he's got dangles he's got. Vision he's got a great team around him. but he is known as a goal scorer Wayne. Gretzky might lose or probably lose the. goal scoring title he'll still have a. bunch of other ones uh unbelievable and. hockey is having a moment we all know. that especially Fresh Off The 4 ations.

we'll be excited to hear what rupper. saying about the league and then in the. NBA uh big one tonight Lakers are. playing okay Lakers play got to talk. about it got to talk about it uh. whenever you got Luca LeBron and I. believe Austin Reeves is back tonight. after missing a couple games it's going. to be mustat this is great for the NBA. that this team is doing well now LeBron. James obviously passes the 50,000 points. Mark 50,000 and2 or something he goes. into in the second quarter last uh last. game now he's up over 50,000 only player. ever that has done it he's been famous. for like 30 years so obviously there's.

uh some people are a little bit sick of. LeBron James and obviously the narrative. around LeBron literally since he got to. the league is this guy gonna be better. than Jordan is this guy gonna be better. than Jordan then it got to he's not. better than Jordan then it got to is he. no is he no pick aart of everything he's. ever done he's been famous since he's a. teenager uh and obviously we've seen. every decision he's ever made on a very. Public public uh scale he has said some. things that I assume he regrets he's put. himself into positions I assume he. regrets but all in all this guy has been.

famous for 20 plus years no real you. know like people still and he's still. committed fully to basketball now he's. got this guy Luca coming in Young Buck. likes to have a beer smoke some hookah. and score and uh theyve become a tag. team in the city of stars to bring the. Lakers all the way back to relevancy and. now they're talking about them maybe. making the damn finals that was not a. convo two months ago that was not a. convo at the beginning of the season the. only convo was LeBron nepotism stepping. in they got got bronny James on their.

team this team sucks now we're hearing. from Jeanie bus the owner whenever she's. talking that Anthony Davis wasn't happy. there wasn't happy with the position. that he was playing the role that he had. the team that he was on so he gets out. of Los Angeles he goes down to Dallas he. gets hurt in his first game now we're. never going to see him again Kyrie. Irving obviously tears his ACL we're. going to miss him and the Los Angeles. Lakers palinka in Squad are playing the. best ball they' played in years yep so. uh good trade for the Lakers getting. Luca over there it's good for the NBA I. think and uh they're not the only ones.

Eastern Conference Boston Celtics won. bananas last night the talk table was. here at Tai Schmidt at Boston Conor the. exciting Whits of Boston are doing their. thing yeah no big deal pton Pritchard. coming off the bench once again scored. 43 had 10 threes Derek White had 41. points at nine threes surprisingly the. first time ever uh two teammates from. Boston both had 40 points in the game. insane ever even when Koozie was playing. even when well that's the thing about. Koozie you know what I mean man he. wouldn't 40 he'd get to you know 38 and.

he'd say okay time to let all my other. boys feast and then he just start. dishing but no incredible night no Tatum. playing last night no Drew holiday. playing last night so it was kind of one. of those games hey let's see what the. other boys can do and we saw we we saw. what the other boys can do and I think. you know those Lakers it's a good story. the Cavs it's a it's a good story okay. but that's all it is cuz the Celtics are. the cream of the crop Joe Missoula is. still the biggest sicko in the entire. league but I mean just a hell of a. performance most threes Fade Away off.

the dribble most threes by a pair of. teammates in a game in NBA history you. think about the Splash Brothers that's. what they were Splash Brothers were. three-point shooting Duo uh for Golden. State to change basketball entirely the. reason why the Celtics are playing like. this is because golden state had the. three-point shooting artist of Steph and. Clay together and now you're saying that. these two the exciting whites both pton. Pritchard Caucasian and Derek white. obviously last name white have the most. threes in NBA history for a Duo that.

doesn't make any sense in my eye nuts. you would also just think during that. Splash Brothers run like okay well when. Steph would hit you know 11 threes or. clay would hit 12 threes the other guy. would just have like a slow night which. was eight or nine threes still like they. would have 20 somehow but no this is the. most in NBA history they beat the doors. off the Portland Trailblazers long. flight home for those boys but the. Celtics are still rolling you know and I. think after uh Friday when they lost. Cleveland after being up you know 23-2.

and all the all the memes came out after. and it was an embarrassing loss because. of how look at that one that one's from. the sideline damn near but because of. that game you know coming back beating. the nuggets on Sunday and then a. performance like this kind of show the. depth that the Celtics have which is the. most important thing once we do get to. the dance with the playoffs with the. Lakers and some of the Cavs some of. those teams just to get to the finals. it's a very exciting time for the NBA. and they needed this you know I know a.

lot of people are throwing their. conspiracies around like hey the NBA. made the Mavs trade Luca to like Nico an. inside agent you know you think about. even more he was with Nike before is. Nike the official sponsor of the NBA I. don't know what their deal is with them. I believe so also yeah you can see them. on the Celtics jerseys I believe they. are and also you know you think about. one of the biggest brands they are the. second big second biggest brand in the. NBA when it just comes to teams and. logos that would be the Lakers obviously. the Celtics but still would be the.

Lakers and you know that's why the. entire hey Luca to La the best thing for. the NBA would be a Lakers feel like work. with especially with how much I've paid. attention to it especially with how much. they made Luca baby face in this entire. thing like he likes to have a beer after. a win this guy's the worst this guy. smokes a little hookah he's in his early. 20s what does he think this is he thinks. this is a life no buddy you're a robot. okay welcome to America you're in the. NBA you don't live your life and then. also this guy uh he he's not he's not.

good at basketball he's not what we want. to be he led your team to the finals. last year he's a European player as well. think about that Global reach all of. this everything so they're like nah this. is not what we want get them the hell. out of town so like I wasn't a big like. hey Luc is my guy guy I enjoyed watching. him play because he's playing in slow. motion and somehow he's getting to a. spot every single time and making a shot. I mean it's and he's a dog he talks [ __ ]. while he's doing it so I've always. thought that about but I was never like. a PR Luca guy then with the suits middle. management people at the Dallas.

Mavericks somehow getting into a meeting. room and thinking they're more important. than Luca I come out of there thinking. like [ __ ] these people Luka let's go and. get it and he has oh yeah him playing. alongside LeBron who he's a massive fan. of has talked about growing up being a. fan of LeBron has made them a I I don't. remember scanning through and seeing a. basketball game on in recent memory. except for the Pacers obviously which. hard to find now they're on this other. BR impossible they're in they're in the.

city hard to find where the that is very. difficult they need to figure that out I. don't know what this uh Sports network. is FanDuel Sports network is it's not. their fault because they just acquired. this but wherever they were before is. not on everything no that I have so if a. Pacers games on I'm going to watch cuz. Tyrese and TJ and spicy p and Carlile. The Boys you know like we I feel like we. know them and they're a good squad so. I'll watch them other than that I'm not. stopping for much Lakers now with Luca. I'm going to let's go see what LeBron. and Luca are up to and normally it's. highlights like they are they're.

creating highlights on a regular basis. great for the NBA Cav's good obviously. Celtics Pacers good actually right yeah. PA Pacers are very legit they're also. like playing their best ball when it. matters most so they're kind of finding. their stride it's the perfect time for. the Pacers hey shout out to NBA yeah. here we go thought they were dead uh. thought they I thought the NBA was dead. after that also we were off so we didn't. really get to talk about it was just. following the coverage from outside. looking in thought they were in a. terrible spot thought it was going to be. like very impossible to recover from. instead massive trade biggest trade in.

history make a baby face in LA with. LeBron who everybody knows back being in. relevancy in he's doing interviews he's. doing conversations so other guy it's. like maybe the NBA is working a little. bit to try to save the league it feels. like it yeah and once the playoff start. or once the second round of the playoff. start usually is when it really starts. to pick up but there are some good first. round matchups and then OKC to another. team uh sgaa he had 40 again last night. but then you know thinking of the NBA's. dead I saw some screenshots from the. beginning of the Clippers game night but.

La that's early right obviously traffic. in La is insane getting in and out of. the into it dome just from personal. experience Gumpy and I very difficult. very very difficult I think like the. security and the lines and everything. very hard but at the allegedly 15. minutes before tip into a dome which was. uh an spectacle of an arena we got a. chance to be in there for the Netflix uh. raw Netflix kickoff beautiful Arena. pretty empty they're saying Clippers are. in they missed it though Harden one for. what 50. okay so basketball is in a good place.

shout out to basketball welcome back. great to have you we'll enjoy the. chitchat about it March Madness around. the corner seating starting to get. pretty interesting so basketball is. doing it excited about that uh the NFL. is obviously looking let's go to one. half of the hammer Cowboys uh ballpark. tone or ball cap tone uh tone I like the. baseball cap thank you I appreciate that. I like that this one says the 19th Hole. you I'll see you at the. 19th it's pretty classic I suck at the. first 18 I'm pretty good at the 19th one. oh yeah cuz that's when you suck them.

down yeah you might suck on those 18. holes but you suck them down at the 19th. Hole don't you yeah well say yeah not. like AJ that old guy but you know he got. him some corn he served it to him okay. Mich did but it up and everything like. that certainly an interesting story to. tell the way that he told that. particular story over there in. Centerville Ohio go Elks uh we'll talk. with AJ in the second hour but tone NFL. massive moves have been made Joey Bosa. has been released from the Los Angeles. Chargers saving 20 $5.5.

million against their salary cap. obviously Bose has been there a long. time a lot longer than we thought 9. years does it feel like nine years ago. no Joey Bosa went to the Chargers time. has flown by he has obviously been a. leader a game wrecker for the Chargers. for a long time and now Mrs Bosa Mama. Pana has put out a tweet saying uh let's. go ahead and get uh let's get him up in. San Francisco would be a lot easier for. the parents here if these uh boys were. playing for one particular team. obviously older uh older brother younger. brother don't think they've ever. actually been able to do that so now uh.

up in San Francisco would be a pipe. dream for the parents and probably for. both of the boys maybe they'll see that. happen but for the Chargers this a. massive move because of the money AP. tone with free agency starting on Monday. yeah Bingo Joey's going to have to take. a pay cut if he wants to join the ners. uh talking about the salary cap we. talking about the salary cap that you. talked about that $25.5 million that uh. releasing Joey Bosa creates the Chargers. are now in the top three of salary cap. space and when you look at it the other. like let's look look at the teams around. them the Patriots the Raiders and then.

the Cardinals let let's leave the. commanders out of there those three. teams those aren't those are not winning. teams right now so if if you're a guy. and you're looking at a team that has. cap space that can pay you and you also. want to win it's almost like the. Chargers becom the cream of the crop. right now and that clears a ton of space. for them you know lad makoni was their. leading receiver last year as a rookie. they have quitt Johnson still too who. they drafted two years ago so now like. that frees up some space you know. Devonte talked about if he wants to come. to the West Coast that feels like a good.

fit there but there's a lot of wide. receivers on the market now and one of. the things we talked about with the. Chargers last year was besides lad as a. rookie like they don't have a true. number one so if they are able to do. that with this this cap space that they. created and being one of the teams with. the most cap space that also has a. quarterback like a quarterback that can. a proven quarterback I feel a. destination city now high taxes. obviously so you're going to have to. deal with that as a California team. that's just reality of the situation but. Los Angeles is certainly a desirable. position SP having $9 million is a lot.

incred brand new practice facility coach. and entire building that is all in I. mean it feels like the Chargers are a. beautiful place could you imagine. working at that facility every day yeah. we were there I you almost don't want to. ever leave yeah it is uh and they got. the outdoor gym obviously because the. Southern California weather that they. have it's like it is a beautiful you if. they get a free agent in the door be. tough to turn that down especially if. they get a good offer in there yeah I. think the Chargers are in a good spot. you go through a a couple different. teams here that are in the story lines.

how about the commanders $785 million. still they've already traded for Debo. Samuel I assume that's going to have to. get sorted and figured out what do the. Cardinals do the Vikings obviously. without a quarterback 63.8 million. available for them that's great money. for the Vikings who obviously have some. question marks same with the Steelers. Rams have to figure it out they've. already got their quarterback signed. what is that number have we found out. what the number is yet for Matthew. Stafford in the deal that he signed Sean. McVey only described it as a selfless. deal uh that he agreed to to remain in. Los Angeles and not move to the Giants.

or to the Raiders or to any other team. that was interested has it been talked. about yet or we do we know what that is. not really it's still just comes out. that he that he took way way more less. than he would have gotten if he would. have went to like the Giants or the the. Raiders yeah and Rapaport was um. prophesizing that it was at least 10. million less is that per year is that 10. million in total and the way mcve was. talking about it sounds like that's. going to be a very Team friendly deal. that Matthew Stafford is going to agree. to to go back to so I don't know if that. is accounted for this yet with spot TR.

cuz I don't know if anybody knows the. numbers but then you go over a couple. here you go to the Seahawks uh DK metf. has requested a trade Tyler Lockett gets. released DK meaf request a trade $ 38.6. million in salary cap allegedly to get. what reports are saying for DK metf it's. going to take a one a three and then DK. is uh wanting 30 million a year now this. is from Diana Rini from the athletic now. we're not saying that every source is. right on all of these things and what.

will it actually take as opposed to what. Seattle is potentially posturing saying. that it would take this is all a. negotiation but the 30 million per year. is potentially a big part of Seattle's. reasoning to maybe get him out of there. especially if he doesn't want to be. there and allegedly going back through. last season there were some times where. it felt like DK maybe was uh okay not. being with the Seahawks anymore looking. for a new chapter as they enter a new. chapter uh Debo just won for what A. fifth a fifth round pick yeah so a first. and a third for DK while also.

guaranteeing a 30 million Pere contract. I mean I guess we'll see if any teams. are involved but that doesn't feel like. that's going to be what the deal is. whenever it's all said and done no it. doesn't it's crazy because dbo did go. for the fifth but uh I was looking back. at the iuk trade from last year they. were asking I believe for a first and a. third and it felt like they were. definitely going to get the first from a. few teams so is is DK closer to Debo or. is he closer to what auk was potentially. getting last year like it's so hard to. tell when these trades happen because.

you know Debo going for a fifth is so. surprising when you do think like a guy. like this should go for like in our our. minds we like oh yeah DK for a first no. problem no problem but then it'll come. out it's like just a third somehow and. it'll be because the $30 million year. they don't want to pick up the money and. they also like what'll end up now. granted maybe it'll be a first maybe. it'll be a first and a third maybe. everything in Seattle is potentially. saying that they were looking for in. this trade ends up coming to fruition. but these trades rarely end up looking. like that and it's uh surprising to. everybody especially whenever did we. know Tony was available for a fourth.

rounder did we know Debo was available. for a fifth rounder is what all fan. bases say whenever they hear the. inevitable deals well that's why it's. crazy CU if you go back to some of the. previous trades that were for guys of. like the DK stature at least that we. kind of hold them in like Devonte and. Tyreek Hill they got traded for so much. multiple picks I believe some first were. involved in both of those trades and. then you know you go now and it's so. much different with how the money is. viewed because it's not as if you know. Tyreek and D got traded and their. contracts were hammered out like they.

got new deals in the places they went to. and now Debo who's 29 DK Debo is a fifth. DK's 27 like the the idea that $30. million a year for DK meaf is you know a. lot for some of these teams that doesn't. make much sense the the fact that a. first and a third from us is being. viewed as a lot makes sense because of. what the market is but you know it. doesn't feel like a lot well then you go. back Randy went for like a fourth for a. fourth you never it is always so. fascinating the deal that gets done DK.

seemingly uh on his way out of Seattle I. don't know if that deal gets done but. whenever the draft comes around you know. that expedites some conversations. quickly you know in the entirety uh but. I always think back to Randy getting. traded for a fourth rounder and then we. hear bill bich story about Al Davis. calling him being like you want Randy or. not yeah well you got to call him and. then Bill tries to call him he thinks. it's fake and Randy was trying to make. the whole thing happen you never know. what's going on behind the scenes agents. players teams convos however a deal gets. done deal gets done but normally it's.

like how is that what the deal was cor. yeah I just looked at it Tyreek and. Devonte both went for a first in a. second Tyre going to the Dolphins. Devonte going to the Raiders they both. they went very first and a second. Devonte became the highest paid wide. receiver whenever he went to Las Vegas. and Tyreek became the highest paid wide. receiver when he went to Miami so they. were obviously willing to do it has it. worked out for those teams is certainly. a question will that's Trend continue. especially with the DK meaf deep threat. we shall see yeah for sure and you. assume Jamar will get that highest paid. bill but uh just thinking about DK in. the SE I bet Seattle wants to get this. done very quick because they go from 38.

million in cap space to you know 60 plus. in cap as soon as they trade and because. of the money they'll save similar to you. know the Bosa situation so maybe this. does get done before Monday when free. agency starts AJ Brown won for a first. and a fourth I believe but it was uh the. beginning of the fourth round whenever. he got traded uh from the Titans on. draft day to the Philadelphia Eagles so. I it all situations are situational is. that a swap they swap first or no cuz I.

Don't Remember the Titans having back to. back I believe we're just Googling the. the information joining us now ladies. and gentlemen as man who probably will. have an opinion on all this future first. ballot NFL Hall of Famer currently in. the Bull Ring of Honor for the Houston. Texans ladies and gentlemen JJ. wall hey guys great to be here dude it's. great to it's great to see you hair. looks great you know every once in a. while you do like a change of your hair. and everybody notices and you say hey. people will notice and then you kind of.

Talent when it comes to hair and they. say this this is what you want it's like.

yeah is this possible tomorrow yeah you. just got to do this entire artwork to it. anyways it looks great Gabe did a great. job we got a chance to see you in that. barber shop earlier that's down in. Houston maybe the nicest that might be. the nicest Barber Shop I've ever seen. they had a baby grand piano excuse in. the barber shop phenomenal like it's. like you're walking through Von Mah this. place this Barber Shop there's a guy why. is that right is that every time you go. in there no this is crazy so I took me. and my son Co we went to get our. haircuts um and Gabe does a great job.

with him but Co was sitting down waiting. for his haircut while the guy before him. got cut and I put on a little show for. him you know put Moana on and the guy. said oh what are your favorite Disney. songs and Co was like you know you're. welcome um he had a couple from Frozen. and so the guy gets done with his cut. COA sits in the chair to get his haircut. and all of a sudden you just hear on the. piano you're welcome playing like. unbelievably and COA just literally goes. is the rock here and this guy's just.

belting out Let It Go he's belting out. you're singing as well I thought it was. it's unbelievable no he was tickling the. keys and then he started singing. afterwards dude it was I was like this. is this is ridiculous my kid I got I got. to get him out in the field working or. something cuz this is not normal life. that we're doing right now I'll tell you. what I've never seen a baby grand Pio in. a barber shop I I will say that how. how'd CO's fade end up looking I know. his first fade this morning it's a big. right I'll I'll send you a per looks.

great uh he did he did well um but yeah. apparently the guy when he's done with. his cut just sits for a couple hours and. play piano uh every couple weeks it's. awesome guy's name is Justin we got. Justin's piano over here he grew up next. to Vince Wilfork uh wild connections so. got just crush it on the piano what a. morning good for you and good for Co. we're going to call you back the. connection is kind of shite uh we did. hear you but your face was freezing and. with that good of a haircut we don't. need that type of stuff happening. obviously today um yeah we FaceTime with.

JJ this morning ask if you would come on. and there is a piano playing it's very. loud I thought he was at the mall oh. yeah I thought he was at the mall I'm. like you at the mall right now just. that's interesting you just walk around. the mall JJ wat with how tall you are. you think that'd be difficult he's like. no I'm actually at the barber shop turns. around I see COA sitting up there he's. got the thing on they're fading him up. I'm like oh that has to be a cool moment. is this first fade he's like yeah first. fade I'm like what does that sound and. he appears there's a guy at a baby grand. piano in the corner of the barber shop. I'm like geez Lise. that's got to be the nicest place I've. ever heard in my life and the bar the.

barber looked cool they were playing. Frozen songs I think whenever we were on. the call what a life good for COA yeah. good for COA doing it and good for J and. good for that barber shop because. there's not many ambiances that can pull. off like a baby grand piano and a barber. shop is probably the last one you would. think that can do that and the fact that. they can that's a classy establishment. it's just sitting in the corner too. that's Justin that's Justin's baby grand. piano you missed out he's not here. getting his haircut today normally every. three weeks or so so who touches the. piano when he's not here nobody he just.

sits there waiting on Justin to come. back needing that fresh fade Houston's. got good haircuts if I if I recall. Houston's got good Barbers there's a. place we went to San Francisco I think I. had a uh I got a fade in San Francisco. one time Barber Shop was alive that was. a cool Barber Shop the one in the Burk. when H Nick got married that great the.

Clippers What It Go Gabe start out in. the mall and now he created one you know. and that's uh that that's that's a. wonderful thing okay let's talk about go. ahead I was going to say you guys have a. guy come cut your hair every day which. is pretty awesome in its own right once. a week JC stops by cuts a boys's hair. obviously it's not easy to get into. barber shops in Indianapolis Indiana I.

don't know how many there are but you we. don't got time to wait an hour and a. half ever nobody's schedule has the time. to do that so JC making his way in here. to cut some hair wonderful little bonus. I think I think it's a wonderful. incredible yeah it's a good thing I love. it's a cool thing he gets paid well uh. but it is a what comes in return is. convenience uh it's awesome proper. grooming Great Cuts Great Cuts I mean. like yeah it's a good I think if I was. right is it a standard order like who. goes first every week and you guys. everybody goes in the same order is. whoever's ready or kind it's kind of.

like that there there's a couple swaps. maybe in the middle but it's it's. normally pretty similar routine on who. goes when and how it goes you first or. last you first or last me uh so I go in. Middle oh I go in middle I don't want to. be I don't want to be the first cut so. you're a middleman so you're middleman. so you're you're a middleman I am. middleman I'm a glue you know that is uh. that is not what most middle managers do. though just uh oh yeah normally they're. not middle managers sorry middle.

managers middle managers no so JC is not. going to the draft he's not going to. Green Bay he might I mean JC might he's. he likes ball he likes ball he likes. ball great golfer cols fan great golfer. he's Colts fan as well great hair I mean. there's a chance he's traveling out. there I I I do not believe we will be. especially with how loud everything he. certainly got when doesn't sound like it. doesn't sound like it from what I'm. hearing yeah I appreciate I do. appreciate the that becoming a massive. story you know the internet cuz I kind. of I was just telling our people like.

Hey we're not going and then I'm like. being very transparent about the reason. why and then the way it gets worded by. these people in in the announcement of. it is like um insufficient respect that. the combine has led to Pat Uh deciding. not to go to the draft so then everybody. basically says this entitled little. [ __ ] who hates me about this like sorry. they're not showing you it's like no no. it's not just the insufficient respect. which I've never said in my life at the. combat it's basically the overall. relation ship and people don't know like. I have paid the NFL millions and.

millions of dollars for years so I can. get rights and social media rights and. digital rights uh for highlights and. plays for our show because before we. were on ESPN we're on the internet and. uh if you look at ESPN's deal with the. NFL whenever they talk about uh the NFL. on like talk shows or debate shows. whenever they would post those they. would have to put a picture over the. Highlight over the video because in the. deal they don't have social rights you. can't share blah blah blah blah blah now.

we've got to a point obviously with the. internet where everybody who talks about. the NFL rips plays and post it and they. bury the NFL and do that entire thing I. mean that is a rampant thing where I. don't think they'll ever be able to. whack a mole and catch everybody that's. stealing their thing but I wanted to go. about do it the right way so I've had a. business partnership with the NFL both. through the NFL films and the NFL for. years and years and years but nobody has. told these middle managers you know like. hey hey hey. just CU he's younger than you and you.

think he's a [ __ ] doesn't mean you. know so these conversations go it's a. one it's not just the com combine was. the most ridiculous but it's not just. combine it it is a totality of this. thing so I don't appreciate it being. reported as like insufficient respect at. the combines Reas it's like the. insufficient respect throughout all of. this [ __ ] is the re well including the. draft that should be the name of a show. like that should be a spin-off show. insufficient respect that's a great show. name run into a lot of it so I I I I. could write I could write uh if I needed.

to there's me obviously making sure. there's enough space on this particular. stage for us to put four chairs up there. with some cameras I I was able to find. an alternate location too which wow. never would have guessed in an empty. Stadium to be able to find alternate. locations and how about this one it's. this it's about 130 ft or so I think we. can potentially do this so this there's. no way somebody told you there wasn't. enough space there's no chance yeah ex. listen J I uh they did we get invited to. go to combine okay by actual people and.

then like four days 5 days before it all. happens like we don't know if there's. enough space our team has to these. people show up in an email thread they'. been around for four months and it's. like who are you who are you no way yes. yeah so I go down there as a smartass. with the tape measure obviously I'm like. I'll go do this today if I need to and I. and I did you know and it's like here we. go so it's not just about the combine. the combine was. certainly I'd say their best work thus. far sure most amount of fake problems.

coming from people with fake power. Bo but it's been a there's been a lot of. this with this particular crew and it's. uh it turns out interesting turns out. I'm not the only one who feels this way. I found out this is normally the case. whenever I decide to say something and. normally I'll get a bunch of go go go go. more more more you know that is normally. the uh the way it goes but I'm not doing. that because I have I do have respect. for NFL in the leag. in the actual people that are making.

decisions it's just like any bureaucracy. that you find out about there's always. people trying to hang on for dear life. trying to make sure you know who they. are and I got to be better at dealing. with that I do got to be better at deal. with that but I think if you look. through my history I am maybe the worst. in the history uh of dealing with those. particular people and we're going to. work through it we're going to work. through it we are going to shake their. hands at some point just like I tried. with Canada even though they don't all. oh start an international incident sh. your hand they don't want to shake your. hand yeah I know I know I I've I've.

heard I've heard you know I've been. getting death threats a long time you. know the first one that I read towards. my daughter that was that one dude that. one pissed me off like that that was. just some people like that there's just. words that you like no matter how angry. you get no matter how you just don't no. matter even behind an Anon account on. the internet you just don't say and that. really pissed me off personally yeah me. too uh now granted j i appre apprciate. you getting pissed off you weren't the. only one I think AJ wanted to go find.

guy I mean there's been a lot of people. that are like I had some Navy steel. friends that are like uh we can find. this guy like that and like multiple. companies that I've done business with. are like we have surgical IP people that. can find this guy's exact address if you. want to and I'm like if we were to do. that to people that said bad things or. wanted to kill me we literally you guys. your servers would be working all day in. this entire thing but bringing on my. daughter I just want to showcase to. people like the reality of the world. that I'm not the only that gets this I. assume there's a lot of people that do I. get a lot of it but I this is the world.

that we live in now and uh the reason. why I laughed about it is because I been. getting death threats a long time like I. ain't scared you know and I I do believe. in the Second Amendment too so you can. fafo if you would like to any of you uh. but with the entirety of it all let's. just live you know and I think whenever. things are taken out of context or. misrepresented for what I say from these. people the people that hate me or maybe. are borderline wanting to kill me they. read these things that are taken out of. content and it like feeds them even more. so that's why I get so pissed off about.

a lot of these things that are like hey. that's not who I actually am you're. misrepresenting me and do I answer all. of them or do I not and it's like [ __ ]. them all I guess is how I got to do it. but it's uh it's great will you be going. to the next WWE event in. Canada I I was wishing that Monday Night. Raw was in there I have a uh I have a. United States of America sports coat. that I would. I be great yeah I'm not really scared. but also like you guys boot art Ash. Anthem and then uh trau answers we're. not booing you we're booing the.

decisions that are being made and I'm. learning about decisions you've made and. it's like so politically we're going to. look into every country that is going to. play their National anthemy sporting. events and then we're going to decide. whether or not it's worthy of being. quiet and pay and respect for or if it's. booing okay interesting precedent that. we're setting up there just as we go. forward that's an interesting precedent. uh and I don't know if no matter how. loud you say that that's how a lot of. Americans are going to take it because. I've had an American flag flying in our. office office between uh since we. started numerous different regimes from.

different political parties have. obviously had power and made decisions. and it's like I'm proud to be an. American brother no matter who's running. it so if you're going to boo my country. I'm I'm probably not going to be as R uh. but I appreciate that you have passion. for your country I bingo I mean that. thing's that that thing's flying. overhead at all times it always has been. I mean that is just the way this go let. alone sitting right here you know I mean. this is America hat you know I mean. there just come on whatever reasons were. behind it the animosity during the USA.

hockey game was the best dude like I. don't care what caused it that's what's. like that's one of those things that I. do feel like has started to go away from. sports today is that true passion like. hatred like I want to win this game no. matter what like I feel like with. fantasy football with everything where. teams players are fans or fans are play. uh fans of teams from other places they. don't live in like it used to be like I. mean I grew up in Wisconsin Packers.

Bears that one is still holding on. pretty damn tight Steelers Ravens that. one's still holding on very tight but. like a lot of these old school rivalries. are starting to diminish a little bit. because of this globalization of the. game um so it felt really good and I. think that's part of the reason fans. loved it so much was the Canada USA. thing was just like hey us you let's go. and then the guys just dropping I mean. just glorious and then we beat the [ __ ]. out of them three fights in 9 seconds. which is awesome I I love that and then.

we win that game okay and then I get. real excited about elimination chamber. in Canada okay especially after. everything that happens I order a couple. American flag sport coats okay that I'm. wearing right into elimination chamber. on the back end of this entire thing and. then lo and behold they go into Boston. and they beat us and they win the whole. thing it's uh it's a little bit. different story and uh wanted to win. that one wanted to win that one back big. time yeah I actually sent to the group I. was we were on vac I was at Disney World. uh I was at Disney World put baby girl.

down to bed we're just in the hotel I'm. watching that game on Thursday night and. I sent a text to the group that is. personally the most devastating loss. that I have suffered in sports in a long. time that one just because of how loud. it had got you know it had gotten so. loud like we needed that one we needed. that one nonetheless Canada hey. Canadians sorry great job touche. remember sh Hans tou can that is. touche our.

source are telling us that is touche. okay let's talk a little ball here shall. we uh let's do it DK mcaf first and a. third 30 million a year Debo Samuels. just traded for a fifth rounder. obviously there has been trades for a. first rounder and a third rounder first. rounder second rounder Randy Moss got. traded for a fourth rounder we never. know how and Randy Moss different time I. get it same with all these it feels like. the NFL changes literally every single. offseason the wide receiver is it as. expensive as it was whenever the running. back are worth zero and now the running. backs are worth a little bit more on the.

way offense is going to go what are your. thoughts on the DK metf potential market. and uh how do you feel about the. situation that's brewing in Seattle with. him I think it's funny because I sit. here and I watch these and I see all the. discussions about it and you see fans. saying well dbo went for a fifth how. could you possibly ask for a first and a. third for DK and I think that it's very. easy to sit back from a fans perspective. and think that there's like a big group. chat of every NFL GM who they're just. saying hey this guy's available this is. what we want and then everybody else.

part of the what makes a great GM part. of the beauty of this league is that. it's still the interpersonal. relationships it's still the little. conversations on the side I mean we just. saw it in the NBA somehow that Luca. donic trade was between two teams and. nobody else had any idea he was. available nobody else knew that they. could put in this type of offer and get. him etc etc so I don't think we give. enough credit to GM who are either. pulling off a heist or who are trying to.

get a heist in return uh which is crazy. I agree I think it's wild that in 2025. there's still not like a bigger system. where it's like guys how are you still. getting fleeced like the everybody can. see that these are you know but that's. what it is that's what these GMS are and. a great GM is worth his weight in gold. because he can find the best deals or he. can get the best deals for the guys he. wants to go so I mean a first and a. third is clearly that's coming from the. Seahawks that's what they want for him. and you have to start high on a.

negotiating platform I I don't know if. he's going for that but like Connor say. he's 27 years old fast as [ __ ] huge. great receiver there's a lot of teams. that want him and all it takes is one. owner to become infatuated with the. visualization of him on their team. wearing that uniform and that deal gets. done Bingo that's why deshun Watson's. deal happened in Cleveland we all assume. we all assume that that was ownership. once he was told that they were out of. the running because remember Deshawn was. looking for a trade it was Cleveland.

Atlanta New Orleans then Cleveland was. ruled out of it allegedly if we go with. the tea leaves that are being kind of. placed all over the place then it was. Atlanta and New Orleans who's going to. do it and then all of a sudden the. Cleveland Browns come back in $230. million guaranteed uh we'll even move. you up here and the entire contract is. seded in your way we don't think Andrew. Barry had the power to do that we assume. that came from over top of he at the. ownership level same thing can happen at. any of these positions depending upon. how Hands-On all these owners are DK. meaf motivated too you know motivated.

fresh Place fresh space fresh everything. Seattle's an interesting team just. overall cuz like they're a team who very. clearly can compete for the NFC West. every single year are they truly a Super. Bowl com competitor right now I don't. know if they're truly at this moment but. like they're in this in between spot. where are they going to go all in are. they going to try and do that or are. they going to retool um Mike McDonald. clear. great football coach very excited to see. what he's going to do in the future but.

interesting spot up there right now. brother the Seahawks fans let other fans. into their stadium for Prime Time games. this past year remember we saw the Bills. fans turn it out and then I think er no. not Green Bay was in there because. normally that would be the place like. hey what is the greatest environment in. the NFL it's like Seattle you go check. out Seattle so I think there's a lot of. question marks around Seattle about this. new Seahawks team they're just going to. have to win that's just what it is yeah. their fans hate the GM Schneider hat. hate him because of the PE Carol stuff. or because of everything I think because. of everything I think the PE Carol stuff.

I think some of the uh linemen that have. gone to free agency and I think now the. DK mea from what I saw with locket. yesterday with locket on the internet. they they absolutely despise him they're. calling him a booze bag what they. despise the booze bag until they win. again you know and if they don't win. then they despise you forever that is. the game you always have to turn over a. program and uh Schneider thought now was. the time and getting rid of Pete brings. in McDonald good luck hey good luck over. there Seahawk Seattle good luck Seattle. we're pulling for it's fun when they're. good I hope I hope they're great cuz I.

it's fun when Seattle's good I love it. that's a great place to play man I agree. I've never got to play there I only got. uh I want have you played you've played. up there obviously yeah yeah great place. to play love I love playing up there. with Cardinals how many times you play. there once how was it loud huh loud yeah. it's loud it's cool uh probably could. use a little updating but I think that's. also part of the charm but just the way. it's built like it's a really cool. Stadium man like there's some stadiums. that are just. and that's I love it when the stadium is. on top you like when it's just it.

doesn't have the huge open vast sides um. and their fans are great man they have. that one guy who sits right by the. visitor's locker room and he has a sign. for every guy and um he loves to. [ __ ] with you so I really enjoyed it. up there yeah it's an echo chamber the. way they build it straight up and down. that's what I realized when I went over. there for uh Amazon had a game and I. want to uh we we were doing game day. Washington well yeah in the west coast. there so I flew out uh to hang with her. Kirby and Al Michaels in the booth or. whatever and that was my first time in.

the stadium and pregame it wasn't as. filled up but one person would yell and. you would hear the yell like three times. and it's like oh that's the game like. they're it's like four it's just an echo. chamber in there with how loud it gets. what a weapon they need to get back to. that the NFL needs that type of. environment obviously to be good good. luck and maybe DK moves on speaking of. moving on Chargers made to play at dline. go ahead con man yeah J Bo out uh from. the Chargers after 9 years long ass time.

obviously immediately people are kind of. just pinning him directly to the 49ers. with his brother but what do you think. about Joey Bosa being a free agent now. and what do you think the Chargers are. doing with their dline CU khil Mack also. kind of up in the. air yeah I mean you have both of those. guys on the edge who are obviously. getting up there in their careers and. not playing quite as many snaps maybe as. they used to but still both very. effective on the snaps that they do play. play and can both pass rush at a high. level so um probably obviously a money.

move on their p on their part but I. believe he's still very effective as a. situational pass rusher I think that he. probably prefers some of those less. snaps as well just as the body goes you. want to still rush the pass passer at a. high level but not have to you know do. some of those grinder things down there. in a six technique um so still plenty. left for him I think I mean it would be. really cool trust me as a brother I. would have loved the opportunity to play. with my you could have a couple. different times you said no you were.

working out in the building remember we. talked about it we talked about this. before he was in a contract situation I. wasn't going to take away from that. unless they got it done and they did. they got it done later so talking about. that it feels like a new piece of. information there yeah I've discussed. this before when when I was a free agent. TJ was up for a contract they were. negotiating his contract I wasn't going. to come in and take any single dollar. away from my brother and his contract. negotiations so I said I said if you.

figure it out and we can find a way to. make it work I will absolutely do it. that was when he shov the agent out of. the way and got the deal done that was. when that happened that whole. time yeah cuz he wanted to work out list. say it's enough money for me I'm TJ watt. get out of my way suit that's what he. said I herur yeah yeah yeah that's he. said well the agent was like through it. right now again okay so he is in the. middle of act with that being said uh. tone has a question for you yeah J Max. Crosby gets three years 106.5 million I.

believe 91 a half guaranteed uh 35. basically a year so what does that do. for TJ who is due for a contract miles. is due for a contract Trey Hendrickson. michah Parsons Aiden Hutchinson is. coming up are are the teams like like do. the Steelers want to get TJ's deal done. today before all the rest of those guys. get done because so that it doesn't keep. going up how does that too yeah that's I. me I agree thank you uh so how does that. work out for the rest of the guys yeah. you absolutely should want to the ear. first of all congratulations to Max.

absolutely deserve. [Music]. Max just love the way he plays love that. he plays every single snap of the game. love that he tfls everything just run. Game Pass game guy's awesome flies over. the field um but yeah the earlier you. get a deal done the better deal you get. that's just a fact that's why I I mean. my personal belief they should have done. it last year because I think there was a. HomeTown discount to be had last year. but now now the longer you wait this. year you've got Michael coming up like. you said you got Aiden Hutchinson you. got miles you got these guys are getting. new deals that number is going to inch.

closer to Fours in front of it instead. of Threes so you're going to want to get. that done earlier rather than later. because the price isn't going down like. you start comparing the stats you start. comparing the Ws you start comparing all. this stuff and then it's like well if. that guy got that number well then this. guy gets that number and just I I'm a. big believer and the earlier you get it. done the better it is for everybody for. the team definitely this is a you know. this but like a player also like you. want that security you want that and if.

you're okay with that and if you're like. you want the solidity because nobody. wants to go until that last Sunday. before the first week of the season. because all training camp long you're. trying to figure out like I don't I want. to practice I want to be with my. teammates I want to work hard I want to. show the fans I care but I also don't. want to get hurt I really like this is a. literal hundreds of millions of dollars. of life-changing money but at the same. time I don't want to be that guy with. the hold out but this is lifechanging so. the earlier get it done the more relaxed. and you just get to live uh you've.

broken a couple different pieces of news. here today uh when you were freej you're. maybe going to go to the Steelers but. decided you didn't want to because you. didn't want to take any money from TJ we. just learned that I never heard that. before and if I had my memory had. forgotten it so thank you for that. information you also said TJ's going. through it right now he's in the middle. of it he that's happening has that been. reported that TJ and uh uh Omar Khan and. team are already talking I assume I mean. there's no it's he's going into the last. year of his deal so yeah there's there's. no questions that that's how's it going. have you talk to him is he happy is he a.

happy TJ or uh is he uh this sucks yeah. is he a mad when's he kick he did break. news though he said you know if they. would have done it last year it might. have been a home Hometown discount well. we're not there anymore so uh sorry just. I the earlier things get done the better. it turns out that's all I'm saying like. ton what has been recorded about this gu. hey hold on we're just going to tell you. what has been reported already so you. can feel like you can dance with. framewor what I've seen is that they are. working on a deal and the Steelers would. like to get it done sooner rather than. later is what I have seen okay so they.

are attempting to get a deal done. anytime that comes out you would assume. that they are working on it TJ obviously. involved how do you know um when was the. last time we talked to. TJ I talked to him about a half hour ago. how's he doing good spirits did he asked. about COA did he ask about the pist or. did he say let's talk B he's doing great. he's doing great we were talking food. and naps and te wants to move around a. bunch what type of food super expensive. food not ball like new contract food no. no we were literally the least we were.

talking a turkey sandwich with nothing. on it except for turkey and bread that's. literally what mayonnaise at least you. got to put mayonnaise on that at least. no it was a dire it was a dire situation. there was nothing else available it was. literally just bread turkey that's it. this is TJ's eating in his house get. this deal. done this guy's got [ __ ] turkey and. bread in the house and that's it listen. I don't question what T does in his. house I mean he needs did he hire a pool. guy yet because obviously that and he. needs to get a chef obviously. somebody go shopping for this guy what. the [ __ ] TJ's got turkey and bread.

that's it at the get the guy some. cabbage maybe at least what the hell. jeez he doesn't do it for Taste he does. it for fuel I understand no. bise it didn't have any like a what is. this guy you also ask him next time next. time you talk to him you ask him about. turkey and the turkey he doesn't really. come on the show much but we'll talk to. about turkey good story he'll tell you. double turkey did he triple turkey that. thing I mean that is really the question. because did you cook at least did you. fry it a little bit maybe add a little. flavor yeah at least toast the bread no.

way did TJ toast the bread and Fry the. turkey this is cold Bland ass rolled it. up in a ball with the butt probably the. butt of the bread too if I had to guess. it's probably got the butt of the bread. in there this tastes bad no [ __ ] you're. an adult TJ get some food at the house. get back on my P J you need to have some. E's chip chopped ham next time you're in. done yeah get that with your I've heard. of this I've heard of this I've never. had it's it's legit and also we're. talking about frying it if you were to. get a pan and put some of the chip. chopped ham E's chip chopped ham on.

there you feel like you're a real Chef. you can even drop a little and then put. some ketchup on that maybe even some. cheese go in the toasted bread you could. really have a Pittsburgh evening and. then have some huh you could oh yeah. omelet chop oh yeah like oh. yeah you could have done that as a. player there now that we're learning TJ. in a good mood this morning but has no. money needs deal done Steelers might be. in a good place of Leverage this guy. only has turkey at his house oh yeah so. he'll take anything this guy would take. anything what he do with his money. inflatable furniture or something oh.

jeez there have been those moves in the. past uh he might have invested in soccer. team speaking of Tai has a question for. you J yeah JJ I know what you're going. to say you know that yeah of course I. was going to do it you're a man of your. word your high honor individual. Integrity all that kind of stuff but. there is absolutely no [ __ ] way you. were going to play for the Bengals right. I mean that's not crazy to think that. I'm telling you my wife and I had the. conversation last week because she like. she finally got to the point where she. was like all right nuts and bolts are.

you serious about this and I said if he. does this because there's still 12. matches left I said if he does this it. will be one of the greatest athletic. Feats in history and I will absolutely. honor my end of it because I that would. be unbelievable so I I would have done. it I you it's easy cuz I mean I'm. talking about after the fact now but I. told her I said I'll play for vet. minimum I'll go do it because that's. just it's that impressive and I said I. would do it so we saw the house you were. looking going to do it I promise you.

posted the Zillow which I love Zillo so. I appreciate the fact that it seems like. you do the same this was the house you. were going to get beautiful spot oh yeah. beautiful spot it's a gorgeous house. yeah did not know Cincinnati had it like. that I think you were probably pretty. surprised too by Zillow whenever this. thing popped I think that might be the. only one I'm G be honest with you Zillow. for about an hour and I think think that. might be the only one like that oh you. got to the bottom you beat the game and. Zilla got it uh got to put in uh good. tags in there obviously filters to get. there I I'll Zillow uh anywhere I go.

pretty much never done were you Zill. where you were wherever that beach was. cuz that look pretty nice you're talking. about uh Puerto Rico is that what you're. talking about it looked real nice looked. real nice yeah I I Zillow real hard. there even have a friend that's sending. me houses at that place now too yeah. yeah it's a uh and then the Puerto Rico. business stuff I know everybody thinks. of a big dumb dip [ __ ] and everything. like that but business-wise Puerto Rico. pretty good PM Puerto Rico. it might be the Puerto Rico McAfee show. you know there might be p prms in this.

entire thing um so far away you know it. is it's only it's closer than Hawaii. obviously but that's down in the. Caribbean you know it's it's down in. there that's like 4 and a half hour. flight from here I believe so that's a. little bit of a trip beautiful place. though I could not recommend Puerto Rico. more to people now Tony hinchcliff needs. to get down there sure needs to get down. there kind of see what it's all about. but it did feel like uh you being a. bangle would have been a great feel-good. story would have been a great feel-good.

story certainly but then you dumped on. him you said hey I don't like Skyline. Chili anyway so I don't think it would. have worked they do it's I felt bad. because they tweeted and they were. offing me trilly for like to come play. and I felt bad I like the people at. Skyline but that chili is not good it's. not really chili it's it's more so like. just like a sauce it's a sauce a. gravy yeah it's like pumpkin spice. flavored h I'm not going to go too deep. into it because they love it up there uh. buters big fan uh Montgomery in big fan.

on this Sports Thursday March 6th 20125. hour two of the program starts. now sport are awesome we're lucky to. talk about them it's not just me. obviously taking up your afternoon or. morning wherever the hell you're. watching and we can't thank you enough. for doing that it's also the toxic table. at Boston Connor and at Tai schmit sweet. shirt yeah thank you very much Boston. Terror you know I believe that's what it. is that's not a Frenchie. it could be a French you know I can't. really tell sometimes when it comes to. this shirt from this angle I wasn't.

really positive what what shirt I was. putting on it was dark this morning D. you working with uh wrenches wrenches. over there uh it sounded like something. metal just broke over in the vicinity of. debone and uh I think that could be a. French a Frenchie there it could be you. know what I mean it could be anyways. you're still a dog he thank you you too. man thank you and it's not the size of a. dog in a fight. size of fighting the dog usually now. sometimes the size of the dog certainly.

matters which is why there's weight. classes and such uh but if the big dog. is a lazy bum and the little dog is a. dog there's a chance you get him I I. think that is kind of the sentiment of. the saying yeah and some some big dogs. are fat you know fat fat dogs you have. one you know not not to throw throw any. shade I I hope Chuck's doing okay but. yeah absolutely sometimes doing. sometimes small dogs can win Chuck's got. a little thicker you know thick he's. getting through the winter how he's. getting through the winter cold it's. been cold how is he thicker it's been. cold where we live very windy you know.

uh it's impossible he is super fat too I. get it that's one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP tone Tai Schmid I see the. golden kns hockey uh Tarpon what's that. all about you've been following the NHL. pretty closely yeah without a doubt uh. checking scores mostly cuz you know it's. it's tough to keep keep your your eye on. all these games there's a lot of games. but the golden knights you know have. been absolutely dominating as of late I. believe they're you know top of the. table top class in the Western. Conference Jackie Ace is having an. absolute career year so yeah I'm get I'm.

starting to get real geared up for the. Stanley Cup Playoffs that is for sure. yeah me too hacky's about to be buzzing. I believe the Vegas golden knights have. the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow we'll. talk about that in a matter of moments. joining us now live from Manakin Ohio is. a college football national champion. Super Bowl champion Rider Cup winner. fresh off a $4.5 million Buckeye Cruz. for child cancer research ladies and. gentlemen AJ Hawk. Hawker you have some breaking news um go.

ahead and tell the world right now uh. you know maybe I missed the pre uh. pre-show production meeting but I'm not. exactly sure what news I have to break. today you do when are we talking to old. buddy oh yeah oh yeah so we we should be. talking to Aaron sometime soon Aaron Rob. okay that's huge I don't know what that. means exactly I don't know what like. time frame but soon has got to be. somewhere in the next couple weeks right. hey that's actual breaking news so we we. thought this week was going to be the. week but I think there's a lot of things. potentially happening right now a lot of.

uh decisions have to be made so we will. be talking soon from our. source VA AJ We Appreciate You AJ what. get the bottom of that yeah what is soon. for when time is a flat circle to the. guy yeah well I don't think he's on that. maybe relative I don't know if he's. investigated that whole uh Aven I don't. know if he's in there I think he. believes probably in the standard. 24-hour clock yeah uh I don't know I. don't know though I mean there's a. chance there is a chance if Aaron.

doesn't come on maybe AJ can call the. guy who's corny shooked and then we can. have that guy on instead he's a good man. that guy I heard he was a little bit. overweight and he inevitably would die. but maybe we don't know we don't know. there's no we I haven't seen any. obituary for Terry muset but I don't. know I I hope he's hope he's still. kicking that was a long time ago you. really buttering that man's corn weren't. you he shucking his corn you guys had so. many issues with how I how I presented. that again I would serve him his. buttered up corn that's what you said. when I was Bo it was respect I meant. like respect you know he I was working.

for the guy I was you know putting in. hard days work and then uh we would. share a meal sometimes at the end of it. this all came up obviously because we. wondered if uh the state of Ohio was a. big corn state which is very standard. conversation for most sports talk shows. and AJ wanted to prove that not only is. there corn in Ohio he worked in the corn. industry uh R across the street from. Centerville Ohio's high school which is. where he went go Elks a lot of Legends. out of Centerville Ohio he would. actually uh pick the corn for Mr who. Terry muset and you would uh butter it.

up real good after you microwaved it and. you would serve that man on a platter. his corn is what you said that is how. you described it and serve it on a. platter never said that but you know I. get it it's all right you you say he ate. corn the long way too I I I think that. that was your wait what show me how you. said he was the first guy you ever seen. eat corn the long way and uh how would. that even look can you demonstrate you. know I don't think I have to. cuz I needed to get answers and he was. like you ever seen my big Italian. sausage pizza I kind of served it like. that okay so it's like in a in a in like.

a popcorn yeah in in the words of Chuck. Pano he was one of the best corn. Shuckers in the world yeah well how much. corn could your corn shucker shuck if. your corn was to get sucked by what was. his. name he was not sucking. anything proper way didn't even didn't. even have the little spiky things to. protect his fingers from all the butter. oh the fies you're talking about the. little the end thing yeah we were just. yeah we just holding on to yeah you guys. double.

handed you know what you guys should. have done and I learned this out here. what's that and I like it's been sitting. there this entire time you know the. people that just cut off I don't like. people who do that why the small mean. like the B you buy caned corn if you. want to do that exactly exact the whole. point of eating corn on the cob is. [ __ ] putting the things in there and. just going at it like a goddamn Savage. animal that's the whole point that's the. whole point I don't mind at all and I. think this the way he probably served. him for Mr musm if I had to guess you. cut you cut it off I get it and they.

come off in little chunks you even get. like little chips of you no if you're. eating if you're eating corn in the cob. you eat corn in the cob you don't shave. it off the cob yeah especially if you're. eating it the long way yeah and uh I. don't even know how that would work I. honestly don't you're doing a dragging. motion I do believe you understand. entirely you're a part of it uh and we. want to let you know we're proud of you. for that thank you for serving your. community hell yeah H thank you. appreciate it joining us now ladies and. gentlemen to talk about not corn but. championships more specifically lordo.

ladies and gentlemen Stanley Cup. champion hockey ant uh analyst he'll be. on the call for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Vegas golden nights game tomorrow in Las. Vegas ladies and gentlemen Mike. Rob what's up what's up fellas how are. we rer you're from Ohio so I think you. probably understand what AJ's talking. about you guys how do you you guys eat. corn uh and serve corn to others on a. regular basis is this kind of how it. goes over there there. rupper yeah I I I caught the tail end. are we talking about the proper way of. eating it I I heard about putting the.

spikes in the side all that what what. are we talking about in particular yeah. that and serving others your corn but. we'll go with how you would eat your. corn on the cob are you spikes on the. end guy is that your move or do you cut. off no no no no you ain't cutting you. can't cut the corn off like just go get. a bag of frozen corn if that's what you. want to do right it seems like you guys. all got issues with eating it eat it. like a sword Yeah well yeah you can all. right anyway St one side let's get to. hockey let's get to hockey shall we uh. rupper what oetkin is doing is obviously.

spectacular especially this far into his. career it seems like every single night. he's scoring at least a goal this Chase. to get D Wayne Gretzky the great Chase. was obviously something that was talked. about coming into the year did we expect. him to be on this type of track to go. get it and what are your thoughts on. what ob's doing right now well I mean. when he broke his leg I don't think. anybody thought this was going to be. doable this year right like and he. didn't miss that much time but that just. speaks to his his durability his entire. career like he just doesn't miss games. even when he does and this was probably.

his longest stretch of missing games. it's it's it's like he's going against. what the the doctors say it should be. and he comes back and comes back with a. vengeance so um I think a lot of people. are probably surprised I thought we. thought it would bleed into probably. next season but this is you don't get to. this type of number being like everybody. else and I think that's the biggest. thing with this guy he's 39 years old uh. man he's just he just doesn't stop he. just scores goals and this is exciting. right now in Washington are the Caps. good are they good or uh they're they're. good yes yeah I mean I think that adds.

so much more to this this isn't like a. you know a guy hanging on just kind of. keep adding to his his grand total of. goals scored I mean this is this is a. team who's tied number one in the. National Hockey League um they got you. know this is a team that could win the. president's trophy they could win the. Stanley Cup and and here's my other part. about it too I know that we're gonna. we're going to focus on what he's going. at right now and that's Wayne Gretzky's. record I think this guy if he wants to I. think this guy can get a th goals and. and if you look at it it's only like. three more years of playing the game but.

I I guess to the point the Washington. Capitals like this is a good squad they. got young guys on their team they've got. this Conor McMichael Dylan stro still. age appropriate they've got Alexi protus. um they're loaded like they're not going. any away anytime soon so I guess the big. thing is it's not like the team relies. on OB he doesn't carry that on his. shoulders from a night toight basis he. just goes there have fun go to his. little office back scratcher Bang found. some pucks and next you know like. they're winning hockey games regardless. of obie scoring or not I think that just. adds to it so I mean if this guy wants.

it man I think a thousand's uh. definitely doable for him Nick just. texted me in nokin stat um for this. season he had 15 goals in his first 18. games of the Season then he sat out 16. games because of a fractured left fibula. then he returned on December 28th and he. has scored 17 goals in 28 games so in. those 16 games he missed out on the. record he would already have the record. seemingly with the way he's G 20 games. left he'll be able to get there uh on. the track that he's on right in the path. that he's on I I think so I think so and.

the crazy part about it too through that. stretch even when he came back from that. leg injury you started looking at his. goals per game average it was the. highest of his entire career so he's 39. years old and he's going at a better. clip than he has when he was a young. buck High stepping a lot less gray hairs. at that time he's he's been incredible. and the big thing for me too when you. look at this and you start going down. the stretch what I think would be. perfect is you got last game of the. regular season April 17th in Pittsburgh. against the Penguins and we've got. Crosby we got Crosby and oetkin who have.

carried this league for 20 years Y how. about how how great would it be for us. fans to watch that happen in Pittsburgh. I know Pittsburgh fans probably don't. want it Sydney Crosby doesn't want it. but uh it could be great for the game. yeah I think what would be great is if. the pens decide to do uh that formation. we've been talking about where four guys. just stand across the net and they don't. move and they actually create a human. wall and say not today oie not today. especially that's the only way. Pittsburgh would win I know Pittsburgh. sucks in the East who else are we.

talking about other than Washington uh. rupper so uh Washington they got they're. the big boys too right like they they. play a heavy game and I think that's. going to be a big determining factor in. the playoffs especially in the Eastern. Conference the other big heavy team is. the Florida Panthers they made a massive. deal the other day with Chicago getting. Seth Jones uh there's rumors uh that. they're in on some other big big game. hunting uh coming down the stretch here. with the trade that deadline coming up. tomorrow uh and the Tampa Bay Lightning. I just I think people now are talking.

about him but they're back I mean for me. it's those three teams it's it's Tampa. it's the Washington Capitals and it's. the the Florida Panthers uh they're. going to be slugging it out I think. they're it's going to be an arms race in. the next 24 hours to see who these guys. get to kind of put them over the hump. okay so Eastern Conference going to win. it all or uh Western Conference uh heavy. uh is this going to be a western. conference title so uh I was pretty. bullish on the Evanson Oilers H that's. kind of changed in the last month or so.

uh I don't know cavid wins at four. nations he stops caring about. lordo they they they look they look kind. of like a shell of themselves they're. not defending at all I'll say this I. there's a lot of really good teams I. love the story of the Winnipeg Jets they. haven't gotten it done in the playoffs. so it's hard to really put my bet on. them and it'll be interesting to see. what they do at the trade deadline uh. Vegas though man like I'm sitting Vegas. right is loaded loaded and and I'm. starting to hear you hear all the.

Insiders talking about uh some of the. Whispers out there they've been big game. Hunters since they came into this league. and their their name is surrounded all. these big names that are out there still. I'm sitting here like I've heard. Whispers that potentially they can land. in Eric Carlson out of Pittsburgh i'. heard that they're in on moo ranton in. Carolina like these are the biggest of. the big yeah so it's it's nuts uh. they're the team in the West for me okay. Vegas is the Island of Misfit Toys uh. that's kind of how they view themselves. too castoffs whenever you go into the. expansion team and expansion draft teams.

literally put players up say hey these. guys are available Vegas gold Knights. obviously brings in Jackie aces all the. boys and they kind of rally around that. fact that they were kind of castoffs so. if they're continue to trade for big. name guys it feels like the right. culture feels like the right time now. watching the golden knights go to lordo. again would be so great my God. especially for Stoner get another run at. this Stoner could get but hey Aces you. know Asus is arguably having a career. year I mean that's what I would say I. don't know rupper would say you know and. then you got guys like No hannen And and.

Tomas hurdle who you know same deal. misfit toys kind of just cast off but. rer I do I do want to know uh so what is. the likelihood that they actually will. get this done and get one of these guys. because everyone [ __ ] every single. year around the trade deadline tomor. yeah which is tomorrow because Vegas. always does do this they go out and get. someone and it's always you know hey. stoner's going on you know long-term IR. he's he's playing you know posum and. he's not actually hurt and then he comes. back for the playoffs oh they do that.

for the salary cap thing exactly exactly. ha it Panthers did it with a kachuck. right bolts did it with a bunch of. player I mean this is a this is a legal. strategy what good teams do and Vegas. has kind of mastered it so if you had to. put like a percentage on it what chances. uh would you give the golden knights for. getting one of these kind of like. premium pieces before tomorrow yeah I. mean I if I had to put a percentage i'. I'd give it a 70% chance in. we like I think they're going to yeah I. think I think they're going to they're. going to do everything and they do the.

impossible like the things that people. don't think is possible and those things. I want to touch on that side because you. bring up a good point everybody was. having a contion when this was going on. with Stoner right and he was out and. until the playoffs started it's. happening all over the league righto no. one's saying boo about it so this is the. new way of doing it kind of if if listen. these we're not making up these injuries. some of these injuries that happen like. hey just keep them out we want a fresh. body come playoff time and it's opened. up quite a bit of salary cap space for. some of these teams to make those big. moves Now is it going to be Eric Carlson. which would be crazy because I'm here.

with Pittsburgh like we said that game. tomorrow night is after the deadline if. that's a trade that they make Carlson. could just walk from one side of the. Arena to the other and play for the. golden knights tomorrow I I don't I'm. not saying that's going to happen uh but. they're in they're in on some on big. guys I I think they're around the M Ron. situation in in Carolina all teams. pretty much are if they can land. something like that and and M ranton if. they could do a a a sign in trade I that. could be something massive for this. organization yeah we've been talking. about M all week he's a dog that's who.

we've been talking about this entire. time uh AJ we have the last question for. you but I just need to quickly ask. because you talk about tomorrow night. and Carlson going to the other end of. the ice and then Sydney Crosby obviously. fresh off a leading the Canadian boys to. another title and his record's like 46. and three uh playing for Canada. obviously takes a lot of Pride now still. playing incredible hockey right now but. the pens suck is that the pens are just. absolute shite what what what what. happened here what happened with yeah. man it's uh it's tough sting they're in. this they're in this no man's land but.

they've been in it man Pat like we've. seen it for a few years like they. haven't been themselves and it's like we. see some of these other teams and and. this has been a change of management. right so this has gone on for a couple. regimes now where it's like what are we. going to do I think is me if I take off. the broadcasting hat I I you want. conviction in your decisions like right. like let's let's either retool this. thing and go aggressively at it or let's. just keep it going and it seems like. it's kind of always been in the middle. and that's where they find themselves. they're a middling team that probably. has fallen less than that this year so.

uh we'll see but uh I think they're. going to make some moves to try to make. themselves back into the playoff mix. next year and with Sid on your team you. certainly got an opportunity with that. they were talking about s getting traded. this year right one I like actually. being talked. about I listen man I I don't see it I. just don't I don't see it um maybe uh. maybe when some other dominoes. potentially fall the the crew there with. Gino with leang with Crosby with Mike. Sullivan he's part of that um connection.

as well Sid will never be the first one. to go never so until some of those other. guys I'm not even saying it's going to. happen when those guys start going then. if Sid looks around and like all right. the those years are kind of gone we have. to move on maybe a conversation but I. don't see that happen he looks around. goes where's G where's Tanger where's. suy at oh I'm the last one staying in. hard out lived all of them brought some. uh Championship grit to this town maybe. I go play with uh can Canadian friend of. mine which is what they were saying he. was going to go out to Colorado in. Vegas in Vegas all right last question.

here comes from AJ Hawk obviously. massive massive event happened in your. guys' state of Ohio yeah rer speaking of. a a team in playoff contention the. Columbus Blue Jackets took on the the. Detroit wed Red Wings and got a decisive. victory in the shoe at Ohio stadium what. what are your thoughts about that and it. seems like overall it was a huge success. beautiful pictures video everything. coming out seems like the NHL is great. you see this happening more and more I. mean these these drone shots are are. unbelievable what do you think of this.

whole situation yeah so here's the big. thing AJ when this came out I mean. obviously being from Ohio like I was so. pumped for this to put Ohio hockey on. the map which has grown so much uh since. I was a a kid and when it came out like. this I was like oh man is this are they. going to be able to sell tickets all all. the way through these two teams me these. two teams were not playoff teams there's. no projection that they're going to be. this year but but but but they've proved. everybody wrong and they're in the hunt. here the Columbus Blue Jackets man uh we. know the story we we know the story line.

with the Johnny gdo uh it's that tragedy. but it goes It goes even beyond that. just with his organization's gone. through over the years and they're. they're I I got to see them up close and. personal a little on that weekend it's a. special group like they they they they. bleed for each other man they're there. for each other and and what happened in. that 48 hours cuz remember and two days. before that they won a huge game in. Detroit and then they win this one.

they're they're exciting they're they're. high event hockey man they're going to. score six goals a game or they're going. to give up six uh it's a lot of action. I'm I you have to root for them but as. far as being at the stadium there that. place is legit it's so cool I'll be. honest with. you was it the nicest in some regards. I'm just saying that I say that like I'm. just saying that the under the under. guts I've never been to a college. Stadium it's old it's just like concrete. I was like all right but when you filled. it up with the fans and then the Drone. shots and some of and we know about the.

history in that Stadium it was it was an. awesome event the NHL put on filled it. up. 9473 people one dog uh was in attendance. and Peter herb as well obviously we saw. him but to your point whenever I heard. about this I'm like Red Wings Blue. Jackets horseshoe has 100,000 people. this is not going to be it and then AJ. said Ohio State people will show up. brother you open up the Horseshoe you. give them an opportunity to go into this. Stadium and just take pictures or walk. around those show up but it felt like it. was a Blue Jackets heavy crowd and it's.

like uh it was a great moment for hockey. especially coming off of four nations. and uh rupper we appreciate the hell out. of you good luck tomorrow night on the. call all right boys we'll uh we'll get. uh talking to you guys later up to trade. deadline maybe so care yeah hopefully. some moves happen and is America gonna. be Canada in the. Olympics TB TBD man I don't know Canada. it's Canada can is a tough out man I. don't know. thought you were from Ohio bro need to. beat him hey do I want him to yeah I. want him to I just don't I you I don't.

think you can beat Canada twice in the. tournament so maybe lose the first time. maybe you can beat him in a in a gold. medal let's beat him both times all. right I'm done with it ladies and. gentlemen Mike. robber poing for. that the hell HCK is a great sport I. don't like tough tough to beat him twice. he's true well I mean you you piss off. MC Jesus you turn him into MC Satan on. the ice I mean that is that just what's. going to happen do that though you know. the political implications felt very. real in this particular game didn't it. didn't it oh yeah oh yeah there was.

there was a lot of tension you could. feel it yeah so then whenever they won. it kind of got quiet I'm like all right. now we're we're kind of back to this. entire thing and did hockey actually. like when they tell this story will it. be this four nations final ended the. convo and then turns out it hasn't you. know it's gotten loud it is gotten it is. is conversation has continued Greenland. Greenland wasn't in four nations either. okay all right yeah there's a lot of. around the world uh we try to have. conversations about the beautiful NFL.

but we can only do it at a level that. you know uh is at a 30,000 foot view as. a zoomed out view we we don't kind of. get a chance to get into the weeds with. every single team because how would we. 32 of them obviously 30 different cities. so we started a segment that you know. got us a chance to chitchat with the. people that are in the no the people. that are on the ground the people that. are on the beat ladies and gentlemen. it's time. to feel the.

be you couldn't feel [ __ ] over there huh. did did did did you go I felt it I felt. it I I felt your guys' energy I really. did you don't got to feel the energy you. got to feel the be.

beat what he say the way you're saying. things is just the last couple days. needs to stop yeah why you such an. [ __ ] need you to feel the beat first. up ladies and gentlemen for the San. Francisco 49ers a man who covers the San. Francisco 49ers for the San Francisco. standard and also has his own YouTube. channel ladies and gentlemen Lombardi. himself lard l l Balu winded from. feeling the beat I don't know if you. were able to feel the beat all the way.

over there in the Bay Area but thank you. for joining us pal yeah thank you it's. been a little while changed employer. since the last time so shout out to the. San Francisco standard hey shout out hey. shout out to San Francisco St Tak our. guy Lombardi uh moved him into a vest. town this vest was just for you guys. yeah it looks professional looks good we. appreciate you joining us let's talk. about about the ners Debo out do we know. that was going to happen and now iuk is. being rumored to be traded as well what. are you hearing over there on the ground.

in San Francisco well the receiver. movement goes back all the way to when. they picked Ricky peol a number 31. overall in 2024 we knew that they. weren't going to be able to keep all. three so piol Debo auk for the long term. but they tried to cram in a title last. year they were desperate to keep the. gang together and then have that as a. learning year for Ricky he had 18. targets over the last two games 210. yards so it was obviously going to be. time for somebody to move and Debo.

didn't have a good year hospitalized. with a pneumonia had the oblique injury. before that so it made sense for the. 49ers and Deo Samuel to part ways we did. see that coming I think it was. relatively surprising that they were. actually able to recoup the fifth round. pick because they're probably were going. to release him if they couldn't find a. trade partner but they found Adam. peters's old friend in Washington and it. could be a fresh start for both sides. the Brandon iuk situation is interesting. because everybody tends to assume that. you can't trade somebody the year after.

you sign him but the contract Works in a. way that his guaranteed money for this. next year isn't dumping until April 1. and a big $20 million option bonus so. they actually built it with a little bit. of a window to be able to move on the. wrench there is that he tore his ACL and. his MCL last year and I'm not sure who. would want to to trade but if somebody. did want to trade for Brandon they would. basically inherit him at 4 years 110. million 27.5 which would be like a a.

discount over the 30 million that he. signed with the 49ers for so I don't. think that's likely but it's something. they're not saying affirm no to I'm. wondering what the wide receiver. Market's about to look like DK meaf will. let us know so will Debo uh and how it. all goes because is it the same as it. was a few years ago and is that why all. the wide receivers were trying to jump. into that market a few years ago because. everything's cyclical as we know but uh. anomalies are only available every once. in a while AJ has a question for you. Lombardi himself yeah so Joey Bose. obviously released by the Chargers we.

know that the Bosa mom is trying to get. the bash Brothers B Bosa Brothers on the. edge there in San Francisco is this a a. realistic expectation that they could. possibly sign Joey. Bosa I think at the right price it'd be. realistic and you look at the fact that. Joey has missed what 23 games over the. past three. years that means that he's not going to. command a huge amount of money in free. agency I mean the chargers they owed him. what something a little over 20 million. this year 25 no it's 25 yeah so they. said no to that so it's obviously going.

to come in at less than that the 49ers. are in this big cost efficiency push. this off season because they have been. going for it over the past couple years. so they would have to get a deal that. makes sense but when you combine the. injury situation with the potential. family discount in this case uh it's not. you know out completely out of the. question that they could find a number. that does make sense and you know the. craziest thing about the Niners defense. last year is that they dropped a number.

29 against the Run even if Joey is a. little bit diminished as a pass rusher I. think he's still a really good EDG. Setter against the run and the 49ers. just need more dudes up front they. cannot you know they always say stop the. run to have some fun they weren't having. any fun as a pass rush well you know who. wasn't having any fun for the last few. years Robert Salah he's back hopefully. having some fun as well as they stop the. run excited to watch that defense do. their thing let's go to the offensive. side big decisions to be made uh Ty has. a question for you yeah David we've been. talking a lot the last like week and a.

half or so about what Brock P's contract. might eventually look like and we've. kind of been saying hey you think he'll. maybe take a little bit less so that. they can you know pay some more guys. around him and he can continue to have. the success that he's had thus far um or. is he going to you know maybe reset the. market or come you know right below Dak. or whatever the case may be what do you. think that contract is going to end up. looking like like what think that number. will. be well it's interesting because Dak had. a ton of Leverage heading into this past.

season when he signed that deal which is. the high water mark and you've got the. group of QBs underneath Dak Prescott I. think that includes Trevor Lawrence. Justin Herbert Jared Goff is even there. that's like mid 50s right Joe Burrow's. at 55 million the salary cap though has. grown. 24.1% over the past two years so uh a. lot of those deals were signed under a. cap that was significantly lower so when. you talk about these. negotiations uh the the number is often.

set as a a percentage of the salary cap. at the time and because the revenues of. the league have skyrocketed I think that. something in the mid to to high 50s all. the way up to 60 million it it does make. sense for Brock pie just given the way. that all these quarterback contracts. have gone that being said it might be. posturing on the 49ers part right now. they're they're talking about one lower. cash spend and uh you know Financial. efficiency but I think all of that needs. to be looked at through the context of.

this is a team that's about to move to a. highly paid quarterback right so they're. making sure that the fat is trimmed off. of other parts of the roster they've. made a whole lot of other moves Javon. Hargrave is going to be cut with a post. June 1st release Debo Samuel Eric. Armstead last year and I think all of. that is focused on okay now the nucleus. of the cost structure of the finances is. going to be Brock pie and I think. they're going to be ready to to find a. deal that's probably going to be near. that very top of the market yeah that's. the the game you either have the rookie.

quarterback and you're able to build up. or you have the paid quarterback and you. have to redo it excited to watch what. Lynch does with this roster with having. to pay a quarterback because you can pay. others how he is proven that over in. Philadelphia the salary cap gymnastics. is real we assume Kyle and Lynch will be. able to sort it what have we not talked. about that we should talk about what's. more prevalent in the Niners world than. maybe us the national people or sorry. worldwide people here uh International. Wednesday yesterday what are we not. really talking about you think that is a. story maybe brewing in San Francisco.

well I mean the NFL draft is just going. to be so big for this team because the. you you've heard I think Adam schfer was. on your show the other day he was. talking about uh cash issues or cap. issues I think he mentioned both of them. I think the general premise here is that. the 49ers who have been just all in. going for it have realized that yeah. they went six and 11 last year that's. wakeup call they they've seen other. teams go to cost efficiency and still. contend like the bills the Philadelphia. Eagles have rebuilt their entire defense.

the Rams in their own division uh have. have shuffled things around and I think. they had the lowest defensive spend in. the whole league this past year and they. still made the playoffs and we're within. a couple plays of beating Philadelphia. so I think the 49ers want to do the same. thing this offseason and that's why we. should be looking at this draft they had. a good 2024 class but they need a hit. again in 2025. Howes how many picks they have well they. have 11 now because Debo brought him a. fifth and they didn't have a fifth. before then so 11 picks and the draft is.

so huge right because those 11 Pat are. going to cost the 49ers 14 million total. against the salary cap in 2025 Chase. young who left the 49ers ass signed with. the Saints signed for 13 or 14 million. just on his own this past year so you. get 11 players at the cost of one Chase. young and that's how the 49ers can pay. Brock p and that's how they could build. a good roster moving forward I assume. they'll end up with uh five six yeah oh.

lot of move yeah that that that's. reasonable and it's kind of like you. know you're you're throwing darts at the. wall some are going to hit some aren't. so and the nobody wants to move right. allegedly the lower you are you know in. the draft order the the further you are. from the wall so with Brock pie they. were 20 yards away from the wall but. they still hit a bullseye right but you. never know if you're going to miss the. second round or the third rounders you. just try to accumulate as much as you. can Luke ller they hit Triple. 20 triple 20 that's what they did we.

appreciate the hell out of you man thank. you for the information you're doing. great with the uh San Francisco standard. yeah thank you guys appreciate it have a. great day your own YouTube page too. right hey we're doing it yeah David. Lombardi on YouTube go check it out oh. yeah keep going Lombardi We Appreciate. You ladies and gentlemen David.

The Beat even though AJ doesn't want to. do this covering the New York Giants for. northjersey.com and USA Today all in.

with art Stapleton pod ladies and. gentlemen art. Stapleton this is it art up fellas art. how's it going Pat what's up AJ amazing. thank you for joining us uh we can't. thank you enough Giants obviously topic. of conversation you're the man to talk. to for us we appreciate you taking time. out of your life today Feel the beat a. little bit here uh okay we are in on. Matt Stafford at a massive number right. and now we're in on Aaron Rogers are we.

in on all veteran quarterbacks what are. you hearing over there for the Giants. looking ahead at the most important. position you know it's a a week ago. where the Matthew Stafford thing felt. like it was pretty close to the Finish. Line then he ends up going back to the. Rams and at that point I was told it's a. game of musical chairs Aaron Rogers has. a chair and there are a bunch of other. guys and then slowly but surely over the. next 48 72 hours I kept hearing you know. what this Aaron Rogers thing is not.

going to go away for the Giants and from. my understanding right now and you guys. may know better than me uh that they are. pretty significantly down a road where. they are negotiating to the point where. if Aaron roggers ends up as a giant. before the start of the league year next. year it would not be a shock to people. uh in this area and the metals you. saying they're negotiating is that what. you just said well from my understanding. is that it has to be part of the. negotiation and I don't know how much.

Aaron can be involved in speaking with. uh Giants brass Brian dable Joe Shane. but as far as Aaron's Representatives. once the Jets made it clear my. understanding is that he he can have his. Representatives talk to other teams now. I don't know where the numbers are but. you can't get involved with a player of. the caliber of Alan Aaron Rogers and his. resume without at least having an. understanding as to what ballpark you. have to be in and what he is willing to. do at age 41 after what he's gone.

through the last two years so my. understanding is yes they have talked. about what it would take to get Aaron. here with the Giants to not leave New. Jersey and my understanding is is that. at every turn the Giants have yet to be. scared off by the idea of you know Aaron. roders coming on some show every. Tuesday seems like everybody wants that. to be the big issue but yeah I think. from a football all fit this is. something that they're seriously. considering everybody in your area that. has a blog or a journalism degree for. sure now whenever we uh talk about Aaron.

roders in the Giants potentially it. sounds like you think that we don't know. legitimately we do not know I have not. uh he he was out of the country I think. taking his bre this like normal thing I. would not interrupt that AJ talked to. him briefly he said he'll be on the show. soon what does soon mean who who knows. what that is sounds like from what. you're hearing though they are at least. in conversations that's further than I. thought we had heard thank you for. giving us that information we'll. continue to talk about it in a proper. fashion is this Shane dball.

understanding we need a guy this year we. need to have a good season this year we. can't just roll the dice on a rookie. drafted quarterback or what do you think. the mentality is you know I think they. went in saying look our quarterback room. right now is Tommy DeVito and. technically he's not even officially. signed he's got to sign his exclusive. rights free agent deal which will happen. over the weekend the reality is they. need to sign a veteran quarterback and. they need to look in the draft and get. their future quarterback and that's not. easy to do it's been a hell of a year in.

New York as you guys know for the Giants. uh at every step every decision they. made backfired uh and now uh you know I. think that they need to find the best. football player to play quarterback to. start the season because you cannot wait. until the draft you're not sitting at. number one you'd like to be at number. one and say you know what maybe things. would be different if had they lost to. the Cults they'd be sitting at number. one saying we know for a fact we are. going to get a franchise quarterback of. our choosing they can't do that so I.

think right now they need to get the. best veteran in here as quickly as. possible and I think uh Aaron roders. right now represents that last question. for me before the boys have some in art. uh we can't thank you enough for taking. the time here uh how would Giants fans. feel if this was reality right here boom. wow how would that feel how would Giants. fans feel about that you think because. I've obviously the internet and we're. associated with Aaron lucky to be. thankful to be but we are associated. with Aaron so anything that gets brought. up obviously my mentions get filled up.

as well some plac is seemingly okay. without Aaron how would Giants fans you. think feel if he was their quarterback. next year and next season in a seemingly. must-win season for the Giants you know. I think they'll it'll be mixed Pat and. you know the reality is that you know my. Tuesdays would be shot I'd have to. listen to you guys which you know what. I'd enjoy anyway yeah of course of. course of course sorry of course people. keep talking about you know this circus. that Aaron roders brings that idea you. know I've covered the Giants for too.

long at this point to think that you. know dipping your toe in the water at. this point and being afraid of the. Controlled Chaos that maybe a player. might bring it it's gotten them nowhere. it really has gotten them nowhere like. to me yes they need to win they need to. be competitive this year you know I. don't think anyone's picking them to all. of a sudden beat the Eagles and not only. the NFC but in the division but I do. think that if you look at the football. and say Aaron will be two years removed.

from the ailles and what he did guys. 3,800 yards passing for the Jets you. know the last time the Giants had a. quarterback that threw for at least. 3,800 yards. 2015 he did that in like four games yeah. I me they they he threw 28 touchdowns. the last time they did that was 2018 you. know that was both Eli Manning and you. know he's off making shows and you know. a colleague of yours at ESPN so the the. reality is is that if it's from a.

football perspective you deal with. anything else that you think is coming. with Aaron because if he can play I. think the match between Aaron Rogers and. Brian dable yes it could be combustible. but I think it would be pretty. interesting for one year to see them try. to get the most out of this season and. maybe they have a young guy behind them. that they they don't want necessarily to. be a franchise immediately Connor has a. question for you how about the third. pick art it feels like even if they do. get that vet and you mentioned one year. right there that there's still a chance. they might take a quarterback or is.

there any reports about who they might. be kind of in love with in this upcoming. draft class and do you think that. quarterback at three is very possible or. will they take you know Abdul Carter. Travis Hunter one of the best available. guys you know I've heard all three. quarterbacks that were presumably at the. top of the draft or at least in that. first round discussion cam Ward shador. Sanders and. Jackson Dart from Old Miss not in that. spot necessarily I think if they can. pull off a deal with Tennessee to get to.

number one I think they'll take cam Ward. I think they like his upside I think. they've liked meeting with him they want. to meet with him more over the next. month or so and see where they's at. they've had a lot of interaction with. shador Sanders which we've seen on the. internet everybody has caught his. exchanges with bble and Malik neighbors. going all the way back in Time Square on. Heisman weekend and all that stuff is. shador possibility I know there are fans. of his in the building but the other guy. would be Jackson Dart so if the Giants.

don't move up to one I think they sit at. three if if a quarterback is there they. want they'll take them if not they'll. take the best player could be Carter. could be TR Travis Hunter and then maybe. they trade back at the end of the first. round if a guy is still there like a. Jackson Dart maybe a Jaylen milro and if. you believe the mock drafters maybe even. a shador sand will be sliding there late. teens early 20s maybe the Giants will. say you know what we didn't use the. picks that we could have gone up for one.

maybe we'll move back into the first. from 34 and try to get that other. quarterback to learn behind Aaron Rogers. all the mock drafters are interesting. with where they're placing everybody. Charles Davis just came out and said. shador is going number one then some. people have him like going six to the. Raiders then they have people who have. him in teens there's some people that. have him in late first round like it is. very fascinating I don't know if anybody. knows [ __ ] at this point Deo Jaylen. milro would be an interesting Dynamic. coming back together in it all and uh. all eyes are on those top couple picks.

it is a fascinating year for the draft. can't wait to cover it with the draft. spectacular live here at the Thunderdome. AJ has the last question for you here. art Stapleton or other than the. quarterback position what are the the. most areas of glaring weakness you think. that the Giants will have to address in. the draft and also is there any chance. that they're going to go after Devonte. Adams possibly to bring him in as. receiver is that is that from you AJ or. is that from a possible quarterback at. some point that you may that's for me. strictly me you were showing the. highlights and he was completing so many.

nice balls to Devon Devon was flying all. over Devonte how good would Devonte. Adams look as as a a pair with Malik. neighbors with Aaron Rogers throwing the. wall. field they would consider I think you. know I think their offensive line might. be better this year than people thought. they had a lot of injuries last year I. think they'll they'll be in play for a. corner a number one Corner potentially. in free agency maybe a guy like DJ Reid. uh who played with Aaron with the Jets. so maybe it's collect your old Jets uh.

season for the Giants and I think uh on. offensive line I think they're looking. for a starter at Right Guard that'll. bring back their their full compliment. plus a Right Guard uh and I think they. may look for upfront who wouldn't want. to put one of these great young. defensive tackles against Dexter. Lawrence then you have Brian Burns. Dexter Lawrence the young guy Kon Tibido. back we'll see what they can do up front. what was the record in one score games. last two and nine or something like that. in one score games is that what it was. last year they yeah I think they had.

they had a bunch of ones score games and. D's first year they flipped that and. then you look what happened they ended. up winning nine games a tenth in the. playoffs so you know look the league is. built on one- score games and you know. if there's a quarterback that you want. to have a veteran leading a team that. you think could kind of Swing the. pendulum from the worst in the league to. maybe somebody who can compete for the. playoffs it goes back to Aaron so if. they can work something out uh I think. it it gives them their best chance as a. football team to be competitive and. those guys need that this year this.

entire franchise needs that well and. tell them AJ you don't have to move you. Matthew Stafford just took a big. discount not to move and stayed with the. Los Angeles Rams moving sucks okay move. moving absolutely sucks everybody feels. the exact same way about it Tim McAfee I. always say a truck driver he was a Long. Haul truck driver mover like his truck. driving was to be a mover so I mean. those are both just put them together. two worst that's Tim mcy football way to. go Tim way to go Tim uh we have one last. question from our resident Giants fan.

Bruce Brown has one for you art he's a. big fan of your work yeah what's going. on Art how are you um my question is. Bobo car there's some rumbling uh that. the Giants have soured on him and that. he could be a surprise cut candidate uh. do you um think there's any truth to. that and they might let Bobby walk I. think there's always truth to to those. rumors you hear it just depends on where. they come from I'd be surprised I mean. two years ago I called Bobby Oar you. know the best free agent signing they've.

had since anro roll and you know Bruce. you know what they did with anro r they. won a Super Bowl uh you know I think it. comes about fit you know Bobby's in. another defense now with Shane Bowen. last year I think he fit well with wink. marale so that's a question I think. there's some things that need to be. cleared up with the way Bobby's season. ended last year he had a back issue it. popped up a all of a sudden and then two. weeks later he was on ir and his season. was over I think you know as a captain. as somebody who's looked at as a leader.

in that locker room I think they kind of. have to work through some things I would. not expect Bobby Oker to be you know a. cap casualty per se but if somehow they. feel like they can get a draft asset and. they can turn that draft asset into one. of their franchise quarterbacks I think. maybe they'll think about it but it's. too soon to tell from uh Stanford future. Hall of Famer. very true Bobby. Oar not okariki no it was at the time.

that was a ftic at the time at the time. it was that he was obviously a member of. the Colts he goes to Giants he becomes a. superstar in Winks defense we hope he. figures it out just like we hope the. Giants figure out what is realistic. expectation for Giants fans looking at. next. season well if you bring Aaron Rogers in. I think it's it's 89 wins and see if you. can play meaningful football in December. fun getting the dance all right we. appreciate the hell out of you from. North jersey.com in USA Today art. [Applause].

stapl clean shaved yeah look like a. fresh face art Stapleton there getting. ready for the offseason Rangers Tarpon. mhm what's that age nothing I love right. off the said art this is it this is. it I noticed that he's the best I don't. expect the. closeup awesome did not expect that I. mean I don't see these people until they. get on obviously so it's my first time. alongside everybody else and that was. the shot cuz he had that it looked like.

a fresh fresh. shave the hair the hair was I mean that. that was a surprise I'm like all this is. it uh speaking of it it is time to. continue this train around the NFL to. get boots on the ground and learn more. about ball and the teams that we cover. it's time once again to. [Music]. [Laughter].

I think we felt to be pretty good there. yeah we did this son of a [ __ ] still. has yet to feel a [ __ ] beat in his. life it's okay feel I feel differently. than you guys yeah like we've heard like. the corn yeah we've heard about it yeah. and old Mr muster was feeling you guys. are eating you guys are eating corn Like. It's Hot Dog straight down the go come.

on oh okay good one I never knew that. was even an option till you brought it. up today that's how you were serving Mr. muster shuing vertical giv to him. vertical ladies and gentlemen from the. Pittsburgh. Steelers or reporter and also. contributor to the WWE ladies and. gentlemen Mark kabo y. this is it too this is good lighting. Good hoodie good 412 hoodie perfect. shade for that goatee looking in.

midseason form cabales you're killing it. today BB we appreciate Mark should I. should I get real close like art yeah. art was up in that thing wasn't he you. saw yeah you noticed that as well yeah. we all did uh art did great as will you. because that is all caboi does. Pittsburgh Steelers big conversation. right now is quarterback that's it and. is that what's happened through combine. is that what's happening back at home. what is being talked about with the. Pittsburgh Steelers right now is it just. the quarterback situation yeah that's. number one on the list they can't really. move forward until they figure out their.

quarterback situation whether it's going. to be Justin fields or Russell Wilson um. they prefer Justin fields and they're. going to move forward with the uh. thought of trying to sign him up here. right now but you know things can happen. between now and Wednesday I mean. Justin's no hurry to get signed right. now right I mean he has all the power in. the relationship right now I mean. considering how needy the NFL is in. quarterback situation those six games.

did him really well last year of making. him a hot commodity out there so he's. just going to play it out here the. Steelers want to bring him back we're. going to make every effort to bring him. back and they're not going to mention. this publicly but he's 1A and uh if. things go Ary then the fallback plan is. Russell Wilson but they don't really. want to lay it out in those terms. because you don't want to have Justin. Fields go to a team like the Jets or the. Giants and say oh by the way uh Russell.

Wilson you're our plan B come on over so. it's all quarterback once the. quarterback's in place which will be. likely Tuesday is Monday Tuesday is at. the latest they can move forward and uh. acquiring some other players what they. need you know more than me cabals how. come it just became Justin Fields is the. one option over Russell will is it. strictly because of how much each would. cost or is it because they feel like the. future that they learned of Justin. fields in his first few games is what.

they're banking on instead of Russell. Wilson coming in what playing the best. football that anybody's really played at. the quarterback position for the. Pittsburgh Steelers in some time I think. that was for a couple games for okay. okay so turns out on both I think but. nonetheless why is Justin Fields the guy. over Russell Wilson and who reps Justin. Fields well you know with Justin he's. just the smart choice I mean he's 20. what 26 I believe he's sort of like your. I I liken it to a lottery ticket you.

know you scratch it off it's not going. to cost you that very much to become a a. franchise type quarterback you're. probably not going to hit big on it but. at least you have a chance with with. Russell he's 36 going to be 37 in. November I mean you got a very short. window with him moving forward here with. Justin he showed a lot in those six. games last year not only that he he. played throughout the preseason. throughout the otaa leader too felt like.

yeah I mean he he did everything right I. mean there is when people say that his. teammates love him and nobody has ever. has a bad word to say that's true the. guy is just Class Act of how he. approaches everything now he has to. obviously improve his game it was a. difficult situation last year because. you look at it you had two very set. different type of quarterbacks and Arty. Smith thought he was going to have. Russell Wilson then he had Justin Fields.

you didn't want to switch things around. to to make everything crazy when you. knew Russell was going to come back and. be your guy if you start from the. beginning start with Justin give him a. legit opportunity to become your. quarterback of the future not only now. that's why he's so valuable to them let. Ry Smith get in his bag as they say with. with a running quarterback like Justin. Fields because it was also the first. year of him trying to implement his. system and code words and everything to. the Pittsburgh Steelers so how much can.

you play around with oh we got a running. guy we got a pocket guy that's an. interesting stat there cabul and we got. a couple minutes before the heart out. and we'll continue on YouTube ESPN plus. Disney plus and Tik Tok live but um. whenever you think about the quarterback. position the next question is who's he. going to throw to who's already going to. get AP tone has a question for you. cabals yeah kabs that is question number. two which [ __ ] wide receiver are we. going to miss out on this year uh just. kid big pop out of cab just kidding. we're going to get one I know we kicked. the tires on Christian Kirk last year.

for a trade then he broke his car collar. bone Darius Slayton those guys are free. agents now obviously DK's on the trade. market Cooper Cup's out there Devon's. out there any idea who we're gonna maybe. get this. year probably somebody that you don't. want there yeah probably here's the. thing I mean you've been a Steeler fan. for your entire life right yep how many. times have you ever heard them having. 6365 Million worth of cap space with the. potential of that going up to 8085 if.

they restructure a couple easily. restructured guys here um so they can. pretty much go out there and dictate. whoever they want the problem is is you. don't want to give up a high draft. choice say I mean just say DK Mecha for. for example you don't want to give up a. second and or third round pick then have. to pay him $20 million agre that seems. like a little steep we'll see you. tomorrow here on ESPN nailed it okay but. which you're being right though like the.

trading of the draft picks feels like an. anti- Stealers thing yeah especially. like if it's a first and a third there's. no chance and obviously pairing him with. George Pickins the rest of the NFL would. find that very funny uh when things. aren't going right and they're both. taking themselves out of the game stuff. like that um so I don't know whoa whoa. whoa whoa who whoa next year's different. year year potential chance uh but no so. I don't see it being DK that's not the. Steelers thing to do they normally would. go get you know someone a little bit. farther normally they would wait till. like Thursday Friday and get whoever's.

left um but second third round yeah I. hope they'll be a little more free ageny. yes uh kabo what do you think ends up. happening do you think they get a um a. wide receiver that's kind of middle of. the market like tone is thinking like. somebody maybe next week after the first. wave of free agents who have probably. already agreed to all these deals that. are going to be announced on Monday. whenever free agency they agreed to. these deals probably at the combine at. least happening right now as we speak do. you think that ends up being what the. case is do you think maybe they get an. OG guy on a lower cheaper price and hope.

they're able to bring some uh youthful. juice out of him with GP on the other. side knowing that you're not going to. get made what do you think is the end of. play for Omar Khan and Tomlin with the. Steelers at wide out I think they're. going to go look for a nice solid. veteran guy I mean I'll just throw names. out there like Kenan Allen obviously a. guy like Christian Kirk those are guys. that they would be interested in I don't. think they would be too interested in. some of the higher price guys like. Godwin even though he's coming off an.

injury that he I think he was healthy. near the end of last year he would be a. nice fit but I think there would be a. little skeptical of anybody with. injuries like that auk I mean coming off. an injury that's that's a difficult one. to go down to as well but I'm sure. there's going to be other receivers. there are available Amari Cooper if you. can add one or two of those types guys. solid veteran number two guys then. supplement it with the guys you have of. Calvin Austin who had a decent year last.

year Roman Wilson who played five snaps. last year and they still got high hopes. on him and then add in the draft then. all of a sudden you got something Roman. Wilson Michigan he was a great player. yeah at Michigan yeah yeah at Michigan. he was yet had he got hurt in Camp and. then just could never get healthy and. then the season ended I didn't even. think about getting two of those vets in. there you probably could go Thursday. Friday might be able especially with 60. something million dollars what were you. going to say I I mean I was going to say. there's one name on there that Cabo. didn't say I need Tony Diggs and a.

Stefon Diggs Jersey more than I need. anything right now coming off injury as. well and obviously cerio talked about. how thankful he was for his time in. Houston that that's certainly to be. decided what's that kabos that' be. that'd be an interesting locker room. Stefon digs and George Pickins what are. you saying the hell is that not. suggesting players seems like you're a. uding to things here Cabos you need to. watch that even if you said alluding. yeah you are. alluding you're alluding you're alluding.

go ahead assuming oh assum alluding and. assuming yeah that's they one thing goes. with the other brother uh AJ has a. question for you Cabo yeah Kabul I I've. seen uh rumored on the internet that. it's possible Naj could you know there's. might be a slight chance they could try. to resign him and bring him back in the. squad are there any chances that this. could. happen I'm sure there there's always a. chance. I'll say what Omar Khan always says GM. um I'm never going to close the door on. anybody but you know sequan Barkley just. got 20 million bucks a year all of a.

sudden that pushes nause Harris's money. up just a tad uh you're looking anywhere. 8 n 10 a year for him if you're looking. for three for 30 I don't know if that's. something they would be willing to go. down and be able to spend money on they. already have to give jayen Warren three. three and A5 Million Dollar on his. restricted free agent tender coming up. and I know I believe uh your friend Dan. Dan orlovski tweeted recently about the. lack of explosive Run game our friend.

our yours as well everybody's friend. last six years the he always ignores not. mine well he ignores I think he's got. his mentions actually muted so he can't. read anything but what did it was the. number 32 team in yards per carry over. the last six years Pittsburgh s here's. the thing about that the reason why that. is because they just don't have big runs. na Harris has played has 4,000 yard runs. a four 4,000 yard seasons he's never had. a run longer than 37 yards this team.

needs explosive plays in the running. game not been able to do it plus isn't. Warren like the guy anytime he gets the. ball feels like there's like real juice. I don't know you know N I know pounds. him away so it sets up and helps for. Warren but anytime he gets the ball. feels like there's a lot more juice. whenever you're talking about those. there is especially two years ago felt. like there was more juice he was banged. up last year but also like n coming back. doesn't make as much sense cuz the. running back class is predicted to be. one of one of the best in the last 10. years so you can take someone very very.

cheap who can do what n does and not. have to pay him 10 million year who who. I don't know if anybody can do with n n. obviously getting better and better as. he gets older I think he had his best. year this past season right don't when. we all agree with that yeah I mean they. they it's crazy they were all like every. single season he had like between 1,100. yards every single season it's crazy. four years of them so he is the. Pittsburgh Steelers yes exact exactly he. was. perfect congratulations to you guys. seems like that time is over anything. else we're not talking about with the. Pittsburgh cers that we should be. talking about on our program well I mean.

their defense really got gashed at the. end of last season they need to improve. the defensive line the defense even. though cam Hayward had an absolute. spectacular year at age 35 and he. probably could should have gotten some. votes for defensive player of the year. that's how good he was that group is. very light right now and they have to. add either through the dra probably. through the draft and free agency right. there even though they have a ton of. Talent on the outside with uh TJ and.

herig and heith and they got Queen and. they got pton Wilson and Minka Fitz. Patrick and Deshawn Ellie Jo Joey Porter. Jr they got all the guys on defense they. just need depth and they need to get. younger on the defensive line and uh. because you saw what Derrick Henry did. to him late last year and even on the. flip side of it they've pretty much. built out their offensive line but brri. Jones the 14th overall pick now three.

two three drafts to go is moving from. right to left side they got a first. rounder on the left side a first rounder. on the right tackle a stud West Virginia. guy ATT Fraser at Center a pretty good. rookie last year Mason mcor a guard and. and an absolute brawler and SE. amalu the other guard they're offensive. line seems like it's in place they just. need to get some more depth on the. defensive line some as you would say. dogs on the defensive everybody needs.

dogs everybody needs dogs TJ watt OB. obviously uh staple of the Pittsburgh. Steelers team he is in the middle of. negotiating with the Pittsburgh Steelers. if you listen to anything that JJ Watts. said what are you hearing from the. Pittsburgh Steelers side because we're. hearing from J that TJ and he talked. this morning uh and it was about a. turkey and bread sandwich nothing. nothing else cuz TJ had nothing else in. his house so we don't know if he's. completely broke and can't afford. groceries or if he is just not a forward.

thinker when it comes to anything other. than football but he was in good spirits. so maybe they're in a good spot. negotiations wise what are you hearing. from the Pittsburg the other side with a. TJ watt deal and Max Crosby's deal. affects this mightily I would assume. well if TJ needs I could have went over. and made him a sandwich with some mayo. on it put in the microwave that's what. we're saying need some mayo on Aldi. Al mayo Mayo baby no not Aldi Mayo. please it'll be helman's or it'll be. Dukes exactly it'll be Helman or be. Dukes as we say it in Pittsburgh it's Al.

these just like Walmarts oh yeah all the. ways you come all the ways over yeah I I. get it I I understand what you were. saying but yeah where is TJ other than a. guy that has no food in his house. relatively relatable especially because. just a year ago he was cleaning his pool. and he stepped off the steps and almost. busted his face so TJ Wat seems to be. the most like I don't know I'm. incredibly wealthy or the guy that I am. guy uh what does that mean for contract. negotiations with the Steelers right now.

yeah talking to Omar he pretty much. rubber stamped it's just a matter of. time he didn't know if it was going to. be two weeks from now or three months. from now but he's one of those Legacy. guys that they have identified a while. ago it's just a matter of putting. together crossing the teas dotting the. eyes and uh you talk about Max Crosby. and who who's going to get paid more I. mean you got about five guys right there. you know miles Garrett Mike Parsons Trey. Hendrickson Crosby watt they're all.

going to get paid very similarly it's. just whoever signs the deal last is. going to get paid that extra couple. bucks you know so I I think TJ's gonna. be okay with his uh food bill here. coming up I think he'll be able to. afford it here okay very recently I. think he's going to make a couple of. bucks here I mean we're looking more. whatever Max Crosby make made and I'm. not quite sure what that number was it's.

going to be probably that much more 102. and a half so probably up to 103 uh 102. 106 and a half sorry so that'll be 107. with $92 million guaranteed whoever. signs next that is kind of how it would. go you said a few more bucks obviously. it's half a million uh that is a lot of. shekels if you will and congrats all. these guys they've earned it and shout. out to the Raiders paying Max I think. that is probably what TJ Micah miles and. Trey Hendrickson are all saying at the.

same time let's get away from the. Pittsburgh Steelers let's go to your. other job Boston Conor has a question. for you yeah Mark obviously elimination. Cham were just happening it was you know. a cinema as our you know kind of. Resident mark would say uh how did you. feel about the scene of heel turn and. did you [ __ ] just like everybody else. because I I don't know if many people. really saw this coming on Saturday night. uh it was just an absolute fabulous show. I mean whoever put that. together um creative needs raise it was.

just absolutely unbelievable show and. just the Nuance of everything just how. they're in the ring the facial reaction. yeah the looks the timing everything was. just absolutely Flawless and you know. what it what I found quite interesting. with the scene a turn here it not only. affected us older gentlemen who grew up. watching John Cena being in that 20 year. star it now even affecting those five.

six seven eight nine year old kids. they're sitting there crying as well it. was just absolutely I mean that whole. show was just absolutely spectacular the. women's elimination chamber unbelievable. Liv Morgan turning into an absolutely. Superstar right in front of our eyes. Kevin Owens is just I can't tell if he's. if he needs a pat on the back or needs. to be committed the. guy that's a good way to look at he's it.

was just an absolute wonderful show I. just can't wait moving forward here and. see where it goes from now but man. Dwayne talking about the final boss you. need to you need to depends on where. where it is if it's the pregame postgame. presser he's Dwayne if it's in the ring. he's the final boss but just look at the. the face man he's always the final boss. yeah Mark you're sounding like your. first name right. now hey Pat if you're not watching WWE.

right now you got you got some problems. man because it's it's they're putting. putting together some of their best work. right now best programs I agree very. lucky to be a part of it we're on the. road to WrestleMania and uh anytime you. have a [ __ ] like that at the end of a. show it's going to have the world a buzz. it certainly did 215 million views or. something like that in like 24 hours I. forget the the number Travis Scott in. there as well chill a makers yeah he. threw a big right there to Cody rhods.

and it's being reported you know he. busted his eardrum and po gave him a. black eye yeah it's quite a shot I'm. excited to see how that all comes back. around and uh Travis has been training. from what I've been told he's been. training so I'm excit and then there's a. video that's been released from. backstage as soon as Travis got back. there talking about how awesome it was. and how he wants to go back out there. and how much more like uh motivated he. is to get the ring so I think we're. going to see Travis Scott wrestling. relatively soon let's go it's a good. time to be around in uh watching WWE I'm.

right not if you're trying to get these. chickens not if you're trying to get. this Coupe uh what else you making there. chicken nuggets fries I assume anything. else chicken fries uh you know sometimes. I'm lazy I I just throw some pizza in. there to heat up nice oh from like last. night yeah Pizza um what else do I throw. in there salmon even though I'm not a. salmon guy really you could you're. saying you said you've seen on. commercials not a salmon guy throw in. there I'm not eating salmon that's like.

the worst fish possible what what fish. you eat yeah what's the best I'm oh the. the Chile and seab bass that's like the. steak Mahi Mah from Long. John's you know what let me tell you a. story about long johns had some this. morning Ty I think had some this morning. I wish it was Zach be's but the box was. very similar okay I thought you had long. johns this morning I was very impressed. it's it's long johns there one not far. from me and I I found out it's it's a. once a year type of thing because you.

crave it then you go and eat it and you. freaking sit on the toilet for the. entire day and you're like I'll never. eat this again then all of a sudden a. year passes you're like boy I can really. go for some long johns rinse and repeat. man once a year yeah you you forget. about the post game you know because you. you see the long johns you think to. yourself I could go for some fried fish. right now man I could really dive into. that and then you get into it in the. middle of it you start to feel it and. you're like oh no I forgot and then one. year passes and you remember again I I.

could see how that could take place I'm. kind of doing that with a couple. different places now because I know how. terrible it makes me feel on the other. side I'm very you you guys you guys got. fish fries in indie or is that a. Pittsburgh thing uh right now right it's. happening thing yeah I haven't seen. every no I'm just saying the fire hall. you know the fire hall Pittsburgh does a. lot of fish fries everywhere yeah we we. got them every Friday yeah I don't know. if there's I haven't seen one here I. assume there is there are definitely. fish fries here every Friday now. Pittsburg I assume where Cabo's from.

because obviously where we're from. they're signs everywhere for either it. could be at uh like Renton will have a. place fire hall will have a place I. think ski slopes uh boy Park R like. there was so many places that had it was. a very common thing to do out here I. don't see it as much you'll hit those up. on Friday I assume. oh yeah that you can go to the church. and get the old old lady parois the. homemade homade perogies Rosies parois. right down to roie boy Tellies old man.

corn it's all good well that's AJ's. thing all right we appreciate you ladies. and gentlemen Mark. kabi so lent's happening right now. started yesterday yeah yesterday was Ash. Wednesday okay so that's when lent. starts on Ash Wednesday and on Sunday. was Palm Sunday yes and then EAS is no. no Palm Sunday sorry is before Easter. what was Sunday was there something that. happened on Sunday or nothing no no. Tuesday is Fat Tuesday Wednesday's lent. okay and then it ends at Easter yes.

which is I don't know what day it is. this year I believe April it's Mania. Sunday April April 20 4:20 is Easter. there you go MH okay so Easter is 420 so. we're 40 days out from that right now. correct or give or take yesterday. changes yeah and what did you give up. for Lent uh nothing I'm just going to be. more patient with my uh my my kids and. at home and stuff like that not fly off. the handle you know stuff's taking too. long or whatever so is that something.

that is normal in L like uh I think. giving up stuff is much more like when. you're younger and then as you get older. it's just like I don't need to like you. know make yourself a better person yeah. exactly for 40 days well no that's like. hopefully that's just like a longterm. thing no but he you just say enough of. this I committed to 40 days for this. this is how is going to be but I I'm I'm. hoping that you know it's gonna go well. and then I you know I'm gonna like it by. Catholic school kid it's 40 days because. this is what Jesus did Jesus did a. 40-day stint right a run and then rose. on Easter Sunday okay so this one he di.

yesterday is the one he was put in the. cave is it [ __ ] it's been a while I. believe so though good or Friday Good. Friday Good Friday is yeah yeah you're. right yeah so he dies on Good Friday. which is right before Easter and then. rose again on Easter Sunday so what days. later the 40 yeah three what's the 40. days thing then is there a reason for. why it's 40 days 40 nights there is. there is but you know was it the was it. him Crossing the the desert the desert. he didn't eat didn't drink for 40 days. 40 nights maybe I don't know it's been. so long that was Moses yeah I was going. to say Moses going through part in the.

Red Sea at the end of it um Passover and. whatnot no I haven't brushed up on it in. a while so I couldn't tell you the exact. reason for the 40 days yesterday was the. ash day I saw correct congrats to all. the. Catholics when you do this are you. telling them to all the sins so they. give you a h and a y y MH F father son. Holy Ghost when when did change from. Spirit to ghost uh it didn't really some. people just say holy ghost but holy. spirit is still the the predominant. nomenclature do I sound a little bit.

more uh religious if I say holy ghost. does it sound like I I know what I'm. talking about I would say that's less. religious if you say holy ghost because. I feel like that's been kind of you know. popular culturized and what not do they. still also with you mhm yeah and with. your spirit yeah that is the the they. they changed a bunch of stuff with mass. so you're really you know if you haven't. been for a while you go and you're. saying all the wrong stuff you like a. huge [ __ ] yeah you tried huh a while.

back and I was like all right I can't. this is I don't know the I don't know. the songs anymore legit I don't know the. show routine makes you feel very. uncomfortable it's like all right this. ain't the [ __ ] Mass I went to Growing. Up can somebody send me a new itinerary. yeah exactly congrats to the Catholics. enjoy your. time thank you for committing to be a. better person during this area hopefully. it will continue on past Easter. 420 what a day hope all right what do. you mean he's great he's not doing good. no he's doing better he's fixed his diet.

and he's he was like in critical care I. thought for a while Bingo yeah he's 100. years old isn't he yeah there's a chance. we're going to be seeing yellow uh white. smoke here at some point within the next. few months I so does the pope um Pope. has another good night at the hospital. continues treatment is out of the. Vatican news I'm reading here Pope. Francis says another good night at RS uh. jelli hospital where he is being treated. for bilateral pneumonia and his resting. oh no the Holly C press office holy holy. holy C press uh he it's part of the team.

this is the uh this is part of the. cabinet of the Pope the holy C press. office stated on Thursday morning he has. continued his treatment and physical. therapy uh so does the pope go until. death is that kind of the the thing. pretty much unless he's you know asked. to step down but I'm pretty sure it's. it's almost always right that white. smoke comes out Vatican that means. passed no that means. they oh that means they've got the new. pop correct black smoke. dead no huh doesn't black smoke mean.

they just haven't they didn't they. haven't come to a decision yet they're. in like sequestered trying to figure out. the next one oh I thought black men he. was dead too and like if if the round if. the round goes are you is your family. Catholic we grew up yeah grew up. Catholic yeah okay so you know I mean a. lot of kids I should have known Ohio. yeah they have black means they have uh. not reached a consensus there's a movie. about it I recently saw some on airplane. conclave conclave yeah oh W some awards. conclave was up for some awards yeah it. was I saw them do a little talky thing a. lot of movies up for.

awards none that we've ever seen mostly. none that we've heard of yeah just. Dune let's get to a break on the other. side we'll cover all the news shout out. to the we just did uh lent news we did. that's right yeah we even quoted the. holy C press office mhm topical seems. like they got a bad. name holy C press. yeah I don't love that I mean there's so. many so many pun they are their own. country though the Vatican they are. agreed why don't they just say the pope. press though you know like the holy.

Times Holy any of that the Vatican news. released from the holy sea press it's. like we get it you guys are trying to. run your own little thing here but let's. get some better names and God bless them. God BL bless God bless God bless God. bless God bless God bless. him the Crown Prince God bless him that. blome every time that was awesome. picture surfaced of uh turkey. elik and Canelo today oh huh so it feels.

like the conversation that was happening. yesterday where I was told ask him about. Canelo ask him about the date feels like. this is uh probable for the. first event that this new boxing. promotion is going to piece together the. best will fight the best we will stack. cards and we will try to Crown actual. champions. that is basically Dana's mission to. boxing alongside the rest of TKO in. turkey aik and Saudi Arabia and shout. out to the Crown. Prince God bless.

him for investing in boxing we let we. read too that he's invested maybe six. they're investing maybe 600 million in. track track and field track track and. field really yeah and it's like as. somebody who loves sports and he's in. the sports world it's like investing in. athletes and it's like let's keep it. going especially like track and field. that if you were to make it electrifying. people would watch you know if this. became like what happens at the end of. like practices and workouts where guys. call people out and they start racing.

each other if they're somehow able to. make track a little bit quicker a little. bit more topical a little bit more I. don't want to say characters driven but. you get it it is it is I think there's. there is an opportunity especially if. you're going to get a $600 million. investment shout out the front office. sports with the way they worded this. versus how they worded anything I'm a. part of seems like there is uh. intent behind it all but nonetheless. shout out to Turkey stop by and Dana and. Nick Khan poking his head they're going. to do good things for boxing I think oh. yeah let's get to a break on the other. side we'll cover all the news that we.

haven't chatted about there's a lot of. things happening in college hoops. college hoops has some breaking news go. green go white okay we got racist on uh. controls come. on go green go white okayo does it again. that can't be that can't be your saying. that is their saying you know what I. just thought about this my high school. is also green and white and that is our. chant as well and I never connected the. dots until now pause yeah music I heard. about your high school yeah that's why I. just thought of this uh so you're Foxy's. high school basketball team yeah they.

might have lost the game but they won. the meme uh everybody seen this on the. internet cracker of the day that's from. Evan Fox's High School Williams is that. what is the that is the Williamston. Hornets basketball team the same team I. played for in high school that kid's. name can I say it Tommy Pratt Legend I. guess we were down by by a lot in this. game he fouled out he's one of the. better players on the team so he's on. the bench very end of the game there's a. hard foul he gets off the bench goes out.

there like he's going to fight the other. team a rival they kick him out of the. game and that's how he left not a kid. yeah that a boy I love this guy Tommy. PRC got Moxy I guess he's a very good. football player as well I would assume I. would assume and Tommy Pratt also I like. the fact he looks at the other student. section and lets him know how he feels. that's how high school basketball you. know is when it's at its best when. there's real emotion obviously it's not. a home court or an away court right this. is a neutral Court District final at. fville I played on that Court okay I.

love the old guy when at the top of the. steps when he flicks everybody up whoa. whoa we don't do that yeah easy easy. whoa. whoa all right get out of here gazer all. right Tommy Pratt Tommy Pratt's not. scared to let uh you know the boys know. how he feels if you're willing to stare. down an entire student section in a. building and do that I think there's. some inner courage that is going to be. talked about congrats to the other team. get a big time win over Tommy Pratt's. team shout out HL shout out to getting a. win but I like that he's defending the. boys you know absolutely what high.

school is it Williamston High School. very small town and I thought everybody. grew up on country clubs up there no. Farm Town you guys grow corn oh lots of. corn corn beans corn beans vertical or. horizontal horizontal of course you tell. us H what are you doing with Mr moer. must Terry muset first of all put some. respect on his name that guy's a legend. what year Gourmet Gardens for years what. year was. this um uh 2000 this why he was a little.

boy it was I wasn't a little boy I had. to drive cuz I drove his truck around. and made deliveries for I found anuary. 05 I hope it's not him oh no people. found a picture of you kind of going. back into the Glory Days look at my like. fat wrist and fingers that's what. happens when you're taking corn down. like yeah and you should see your gums. they were bleeding and uh nobody. expected that we appreciate you AJ. contributing to society and Mr moer and. I do believe he's potentially alive or.

dead Okay gotten mixed reports from. people okay one the other some people. have responded well it is one of the. other one of the other y it is one of. the other but I'm saying we've gotten. mixed reports cuz tone said he found. something and I know people send reports. like gu still doing it and it's like all. right we don't know whatever it is. you've made a lasting impact on AJ Hawk. sir you've done a great job if you're. alive thank you Mr muset hell yeah ter. go muset yeah the muset that I found. that I was born in 1935 is that lineup.

it's possible it could have been we. didn't get past the corn says AJ it was. me driving him not talking and then me. me serving corn and shucking his corn. him sucking them. Dy that's good what fresh fresh corn on. the cob is legit you can't disagree with. that yeah and that's why you want to eat. that thing is you gobble that thing down. same same must let's get to a break. let's get to a break got some got some. more stories to to cover around Sports. World obviously I have to have an.

opinion on it that's right everybody. wants to hear it oh yeah we've been back. for one week in a day do you know that. mhm yeah yeah just think everything it's. been a wild week truly thought about. that last night as I laid down like holy. [ __ ] it's only been a week back it's a. lot. broke some news a lot of news a couple. times Travis Kelsey saquon. yeah we broke some. relationships sure I feel like art.

saying that the Giants are like almost. heavily. negotiating correctly art knows I think. what art was trying to say was if. they're having any conversation it's a. negotiation because they're learning. about what it's probably going to take. to get I think it's what he was saying. but whenever he said they're deep in. negotiations you would assume it's like. we didn't I didn't know that AJ did you. know that I we did not know that that. that was happening not that we would or. that we would ask to know that which I. think is a little bit difference between. us and maybe some others that have. microphones on a regular basis.

yeah you said art this is it let's get. to a break was a good shot you did it he. nailed it and he. did we're going to give away some uh. we're going to ance some giveaways uh. during this break and then on the other. side we're going to cover everything. happening around Sports World we're. incredibly thankful we get to do this. every single day big. night date announcement coming on Monday. uh in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and then. ticket sales will be shortly after that. this is happening within the next couple.

months and uh it's coming together. really nicely it's coming together we. almost have too much time and are too. good of a spot at this point last week. what's all going to happen you know. everything kind of a a mystery question. mark what's all going to be able to take. place what's all going to be able to. happen who's all going to be able to get. there you you know and then all of a. sudden this week it's really become one. great text after another from people and.

I can't wait for it and uh for people. that have been asking about it you're. very awesome date coming on Monday all.

right let's get to a break on the other. side we'll finish up all the sports. stories of the day be a friend tell a. friend something nice it might change. their life Take Five. [Music].

[Music]. hello hello and welcome to the special. investigative report much has been made. in the media World on the life and. charitable donations of the man Pat. McAfee especially lately with the rise.

of the ever popular Pat McAfee. show a show that in his own words stinks. we thought it privy to dive into the. inner workings and machinations of this. tiny business this small Regional show. that has reached International discourse. we sat down with the suit himself Bruce. Brown to figure out what where when why.

and how they're able to give away so. much. money so much money to the. viewers of this incredible. program so yeah when you enter a pad. magnify show giveaway essentially um you. know the Entre ire hashtag will be. downloaded into an Excel file and the. winners will be randomized within that. um and then we do a quick scumbag check. basically click on the profile and and.

make sure you know you aren't a robot or. blocked by Pat and then it'll be. transferred over to dirty Gertie who. creates the winter Wednesday graphic. which then runs on the show each. Wednesday in a commercial break um if. you win over. $599 um we're going to need your email. or you can email giveaways padm ify. show.com if it's under $599 all we need. is the easiest way to pay you digitally. and if you win merch obviously we need. your size address and what you want from.

the store usually I'll just reply to you. on Twitter um if you have any questions. about any giveaway whether it's cash. that you either are are waiting on or or. merch yeah you can just reach out to me. on Twitter or email giveaways at patmac. show.com please give us about 1 to two. weeks to sort out your prize that's. typically how how long it it um it takes. but again if you have any questions just. reach out to us we reached out the pmis. money man himself CFO Phil for an on.

camera. interview regretfully he declin the. segment but he did give us the salacious. juicy details in an email correspondence. CFO Phil replied over $5.1 million here. to date two. much. money there you have it over $5.1. million giv away a pissed off CFO and a. show that quote unquote.

stinks good night good tomorrow good. luck and good. fortunes why is football the greatest. sport on Earth and do you think football. is the greatest sport on Earth and why. do you like football. that's a really deep question there Pat. I know I think I get a good answer out. of you though like I I think you'd be. able to talk about it in a way that I. think a lot of people haven't because. you've been at the Pinnacle of it for so. damn long and inside of it and your.

brain is a pretty fantastic one we've. learned here over the last few weeks. obviously last few weeks that's it. that's all the time we've learned. that I think it's the greatest sport in. the world for one main reason it is a. true team sport where it is damn near. impossible for one person to dominate an. entire. if you look at other team sports uh. basketball with Five Guys on the court I. think you've seen multiple players over. the years uh maybe one player maybe one. or two players on a squad be able to.

dominate and win championships baseball. you can have a dominant pitcher uh and. win championships soccer you can have a. dominant forward Andor goalie that seems. to be a little more of a team sport but. you don't have 11 players engaged at the. same time on every play it is truly uh a. sport reliant. on every player on the field to do their. job in order to be successful and I. think that's why at times you know.

certain star players can get uh maybe. too much credit and and maybe too much. blame on the flip side because it does. take so many players at the same time in. three phases to win football games uh. and I think that's the beauty and the. draw of our sport is that some something. new happens all the time because you are. literally dealing with 11 humans on the. field at one time who all have lives. outside of football and there's. distractions there's uh a Reliance on on.

coaching there's a Reliance on. Preparation there's a Reliance on diet. and performance um I just think there's. so many facets to it that you see. something new every single week and I. think that's the beauty in our game uh. when it comes to the love that I have. for it it's rooted and I think like any. any player who's played for a long time. the the love is not just about our sport. it's about competition and I think. there's nothing in the world for me that. fills that need and that hole I have.

like competition I think we you know at. players play for a long time at a high. level you have that uh need to be. satiated uh competitively and and it's a. love of going out there and going. against guys and be in an environment. where you know that uh nothing is. guaranteed and that's why at times have. taken uh umage to people saying that.

it's easy because it's not easy it's. never easy and I think that's the beauty. in our game is that you sees things new. every single week it's never easy and. your only thing you're guaranteed is is. the ability to. compete uh I love that aspect of I love. competing I love going out there and. harnessing the fear of failure where I. think so many people who maybe don't. love football as much the root of that. is is a deep fear of failure that you.

might go out there and your best might. not be good enough and that's not okay. with. you. hey let's. go this show stinks and the fact that. you listen we are very very thankful for. that could be on the line with a. gorgeous assist the alltime leading. tackler for the Green Bay Packers you. P up up damn it be a friend tell a. friend something nice could change their. [Applause].

[Music]. life hello beautiful people and welcome. back to our humble [ __ ] the thundero on. this Sports Thursday March 6 2025 Hour 3. the program starts now sports are. happening all around us way to go AJ. felt the be there that is he uh the. toxic table is here at Boston Conor and. at Tai Schmidt one half of the hammer. done Cowboys ball cap tone is here wow. still got a out there are you signing. back up for that are they going to allow.

you to have another one next year or if. they allow me I will be there we did. hear that there were some people that. weren't happy about it which goes to the. insufficient respect that is happening. around a lot of things there was people. that were not thrilled with you having. but if we look at your MVP vote you. actually got it right yeah you're maybe. the most in touch out of everybody Bingo. you said it nobody ever says that about. the guy that would prefer the 19th Hole. over the first. [Laughter]. 18 how are you AJ you stopping by the. 19th hole with uh ball cap tone yeah I.

guess I think I might with tone I don't. know what is the 19th Hole tone what. exactly is it it's a bar you know you. know what it. is well it's certainly not the way you. you serve your corn uh that is not the. right answer let's go with some uh news. around the NFL here uh Cleveland Browns. obviously a topic of discussion this. particular offseason because they are. still locked into the worst contract. worst trade in the history of the NFL is. how it's being viewed obviously with.

production and conversation and the. amount of drama that was brought and the. amount of production that came from it. was the juice worth a squeeze everybody. says no $230 million guaranteed but the. Cleveland Browns have restructured. Deshawn Watson's contract and they freed. up $. 35.7 n million of cap space now that. money is all still going to Deshawn. Watson they're just changing when. they're doing it for a little salary cap. gymnastics opening up $36 million a cap. space is obviously a beautiful thing are.

they inevitably just kicking the can. down the road even further yes does feel. like that they're going to have to pay. the piper at some point including this. upcoming season but they're trying to. make some moves and win some games AJ. Hawk even though they have the worst. contract in the history on the books. with a player that's not going to play. for them yeah I would say they put. themselves behind the eightball as the. old saying goes but why does why does. spot track saying they reluctantly. convert it because they got to give the. money now but they're doing it to try to. find a way to move on from this guy. eventually so I believe they're.

reluctantly doing this uh at the bottom. there he says Cleveland is now cap. compliant because you have to be. compliant by a certain time so they. probably had to make this move to become. cap compliant even though they're. kicking the can down the road yet again. with a contract that they're trying to. get rid of as fast as possible but now. they're extending the time because they. have to to become cap compant I believe. that is probably why they're reluctantly. doing it I assume Andrew Barry the. general manager throughout the entirety. of this stefansky the head coach are. trying to get out of this thing as fast. as possible but then they're hearing.

from the league like hey you guys got to. you guys got to do a lot of stuff and. then they got miles Garrett on the other. side actual guy actual guy actual guy he. saw what you just did to a quarterback. that didn't play here and uh has done. nothing for the team really saw what she. did for him I've done everything for. this team uh I show up I am the face of. this team and I don't like what's going. on so they got to figure out how to get. him happy is that with more money. probably is that the only way to answer. it probably is he going to be gone maybe. if he leaves there's other players.

saying if he's gone I'm gone uh Denzel. Denzel Ward who's another great player. for them so they are in what we like to. call a shite situation and uh I think. that's probably why it's reluctantly. extending the shite situation even. though they feel like they'll probably. have to do it AJ yeah I mean so who all. right when it goes back to the whole. Deshawn situation is everyone just. saying it was Jimmy Haslam like his call. all the way and he's the one that pulled. the trigger on this and made it happen. that has been my take on it all not that. I've been told that by anybody obviously.

I know Andrew Barry from the. Indianapolis Colts but we don't talk. like that I've not gotten that. information from him or stefansky I. haven't talked to him in long years. maybe a decade I haven't talked to him. in a long long time but my read on it is. with what Andrew Barry and seansi have. done in the last couple years why. wouldn't you get rid of them and if they. were the ones that decided to Deshawn. Watson deal why wouldn't you get rid of. him like feels like this is from the. owner going I know you know like I I was. the one that decided like the complete. opposite of the Joe Shane Mara situation.

almost like that which is why they uh I. don't want to say they have life there. but like I think that is in my eyes. that's the only way it makes sense in my. eyes that's the only way it makes sense. but I could be wrong yeah I would agree. I mean if Andrew Barry and stefansky can. find a way to work their way through. this whole situation over the next. couple years and actually win football. games and play meaning meaningful. football at the end of the season like. that you talk about like GM of the Year. coach of the year if they can make it. happen they did that with Flaco yeah two. years ago you know they did it with. Flaco with no money pulling flacko.

literally off the couch in the middle of. the season and they go on a run I think. Andrew Barry and stefansky probably feel. like they gotta like we're pretty. [ __ ] good I think but we are. literally hamstrung by the worst. decision in the history of the NFL is. what people were calling it and I think. the ownership knows that as well uh go. ahead com well that's why like Andrew. Barry if it was him he would have got. fired like in a heartbeat he would have. been gone already so the fact that you. know that I think that's why Kevin. stansky does win so many awards because. maybe it's just a known thing around the. NFL like boy Brown's ownership killed.

this team and they should not win a game. for the next five years but somehow you. know stfi still the boys play we'll try. to superp around and get an answer. though because that is what I assume I. think a lot of people assume that that. that has to be the only way that those. two still have their job yeah has to I. mean yeah when you make a a contract. when you agree to a contract that. changes the face of the NFL moving. forward and how quarterbacks get paid. and everybody else it had to be the. owner like there's no I can't imagine. the GM's okay sign off on this owner. he's like oh I don't really agree but. yeah go ahead and do it fully guaranteed.

and whenever you fully guarantee. something whatever you guarantee you. have to put that cash up front remember. that's the that's a big part of the. guarantees whenever we talk about Monday. and we hear these deals that are. announced or these extensions that get. announced the guaranteed money is. obviously fantastic for players but it's. also an amount of money that the. ownership has to put into a fund because. back in the day I assume there was a. chance that these teams wouldn't have. the amount of money uh that they are. guaranteeing so now they put it into a. fund this has turned out to be a good. thing for ownership you know because. they can use that as leverage and. everything like that on why they can't.

guarantee this can't guarantee that. obviously injuries not being able to. play exactly what happened with deshun. Watson happens at a much rapider rate in. the NFL than other leagues that have. fully guaranteed contracts so like. there's a lot of excuses for ownership. not to give fully guarantees and then. for them to give the biggest fully. guantee of all time with the biggest. contract of all time for a player you. would assume that's ownership uh making. that call you would assume that would be. the case because we would see this. happen in a bunch of other places if it.

if it wasn't the case like there's a. reason why a bunch of owners were like. Hey we're not doing fully guaranteed. contracts if the GM and the head coach. had the leeway to do that we'd see a lot. more guys have fully guaranteed. contracts it's like oh don't worry about. it you know the owner's going to put the. money up and and that's that's a way. you'd get a guy into your building. immediately like oh my contract's fully. guaranteed sounds good I'm signing with. you guys so there's no way it's not the. owner just saying nope this is what. we're going to do now uh let's stay with. the Browns because of that massive. amount of cash that they do not have. available everybody assumes they're.

going to go with Young quarterback. especially at number two I think shef's. reported they're going to take a. quarterback because they need a Young. quarterback that is cheap to lead this. team especially somebody that is good. then there was reports Hey shador. Sanders didn't come off good in some of. these conversations at the combine you. know we are in narrative building smoke. screen building season right now. especially at quarterback position. remember what was said about CJ St that. was inevitably complete [ __ ] a few. years years back through it all but that. has been corrected the narrative already.

by Mary K Kitt the Browns first met with. uh Sanders 101 at the East West shran. Bowl game in January and came away. impressed they didn't find him to be. arrogant or Brash but confident and. engaging they liked all of the good. things his Hall of Fame dad poured him. into him but he appreciated that he's. his own man he exhibited the excellent. leadership qualities they're looking for. in a quarterback as did Ward whom they. also like a lot talking about camard. there from Miami they also formerly. interviewed Sanders at the combine where. neither he nor Ward worked out I don't.

think people are going to be working out. going forward and cemented what they. already knew that Sanders has what it. takes to lead the franchise if they. draft him Kevin stefansky also received. a glowing report on him from his former. Vikings colleague Pat Shermer the former. Browns head coach who is now the. offensive coordinator at Colorado for. the past two years with shador and with. Travis Hunter uh the Browns will get to. know Sanders a lot better this week. during his visit to cross country. mortgage campus which happened earlier. this week and War attend his pro at.

Colorado but nothing happened at combine. it changed their first impression which. was good of Sanders in fact it only. confirmed what they thought about him. okay so whoever was reporting that they. didn't like the way Sanders was. operating Mary K Kitt who is very close. to the Cleveland Browns organization has. been reporting on the Cleveland Browns. for a long time says they like they're. big fans of shador so maybe it is shador. Sanders getting drafted to the Cleveland. Browns if he's still available at two. and maybe he's the QB that's going to be. tasked with going into a place that's. maybe underfunded okay little bit maybe.

he's been counted out for a while and uh. see what he can do has been there done. that with those situations twice now. with Jackson State and with Colorado. maybe he's the perfect guy to be a. Cleveland Brown AJ Hawk yeah what I do. like about shador and cam W both they. both played T of Football in college. like they got a ton of reps they got a. ton of film and we know like when you. translate to playing playing well early. as an NFL quarterback we've seen as of. late like when you have a when you have. a guy with a lot of experience they tend.

to step in and kind of figure it out. quicker I think than guys that maybe. didn't get as many reps in college yeah. they uh snaps played became a stat over. the last couple years that people are. really looking at for the quarterback. position and I don't want to bring it up. but like Anthony Richardson played next. to no football and then whenever he got. here it was evident that he played next. to no football and he didn't really even. know how to be a professional football. player or a football player as a whole. so he's going gone through a learning. process he's gone through you know a. couple injuries he's gone through he's. gotten callous through it all so they're.

hoping he'll develop but these guys have. played 15x the amount of snaps and. they're not even close to starting their. NFL career yet because of Jackson State. Colorado cam Ward incarnate Ward to. Washington State to Miami you think. about Bo Knicks you think about CJ stad. you think about Jaden Daniels you think. about these guys who have done well. whenever they transition into the NFL. they've played a lot of ball so for the. Cleveland Browns whether it's cam Ward I. like his confidence whenever I see the. videos he's a guy that can go into a. tough situation and hopefully lead the.

boys to get some wins at least be. somebody that they can look up to and. when it comes to shador Sanders cannot. go under understand obviously he can. spin it and obviously he's a good player. because he's being talked about who he. is and obviously he has generational you. know traits that not everybody is going. to be able to come close to with Deion. Sanders one of the greatest athletes to. ever EX if not the best athlete to ever. exist as your father but he's tough and. like in the AFC North you're going to. have to be at quarterback position he's. durable he's tough he takes a lot of.

pride in getting up now I know he has a. watch and I know he's been Rich his. whole life and I know people think. everything's been handed to him but I. think he's taken that and gone in a. complete opposite direction wanting to. prove that he's just as tough if not. tougher than everybody else oh you think. this I'm going the other way he got hit. more than anybody both at Jackson State. fact and at Colorado and he would pop. right back up and some of these shots he. was taking were like full Spears like. Brun breaker Spears in the middle of a. game he's getting speared through the.

Earth and then he would pop back up not. even miss a play it's like that. durability is something that is very. much respected and appreciated around. the NFL so especially in the Browns. organization you're going need somebody. that's tough I mean that's just how it's. going to go obviously I don't know as. much about cam he played a lot of footb. so we'd assume he's very tough but like. watching shadur get his ass beat and. then getting right back up and not. changing I think that is a great trait. that's not really you can't put a number. on well and like the conversation like. oh he grew up everything was handed to.

him like he was a rich kid like we. didn't have those conversations with. Marvin Harrison Jr or Pat serain or JC. horn or any of the other guys that. Asante Samuel Jr guys who were the kids. of you know pro athletes before Pat. Mahomes like that wasn't a conversation. because like it wasn't anything people. just hate sh Sanders well they also do a. lot of content so you see them they do. the yeah they they they are you know. flashy if you but they film a lot they. film a lot they do the the entire you. know series they had the Amazon Prime. thing like they do the behind the scenes.

stuff I believe they did something at. Jackson State too so it wasn't even just. Colorado so it's one of those things. where people don't like him but like he. is so tough and like sure you know he he. hasn't really had anything handed to him. he's earned it but you know when when. you think about being able to see and. know what it takes to be great like he. does know that because he grew up you. know as the the son of prime like he. gets what he needs to do to be a. successful Pro yeah but he had his hat. on backwards true that's did you see it.

I saw Colin coward that is one of Colin. coward's things oh yeah that is like. really one of his things and I know when. Tom Brady went down to Tampa and started. doing backwards hat Colin coward had to. be like don't Tom [ __ ] this can't be how. this goes this can't be how it goes I. understand what Colin's saying you know. Colin I think is saying if I was running. a franchise would I would be looking for. as opposed to maybe a franchise that. needs a little Moxy you know maybe a. city that needs like a little bit of. edge you know so not even Edge person. like need you need to be unflappably.

confident to potentially go into. Cleveland like that might be a trait. that they're looking at as a good thing. as opposed to a potentially bad thing. with where they've been and how they've. been and what they have to go up against. here the next few years by their own. doing I also that contract I also think. with him when you hear all the negative. stuff come out in terms of like the. smoke screen like it's easier because. people know that the opinion is already. so divisive it's like hey it's really. not going to take that much work to just. like put out some more negative stuff. and if we're a team that's draft in like. 7 through 12 or something like that and.

we really like him like we can just leak. a couple of these stories and just say. his combine interviews were awful he was. really you know turning folks off and. and and people will be like yeah exactly. and I heard that and people just buy. into it because of all the stuff that. we've seen at Colorado yeah exactly. exactly it's like what happens with us. for sure you know it's like what happens. with us like uh because of what has. already been said I think people. probably believe this and then bang and. it's like maybe we there is some truth. to it and then people just continue to. build a narrative I think and people are. looking for that narrative too because.

they want to solidify their opinion as. being right and there's not much to talk. about right now it's all speculation. with these guys so it's like that's good. fodder you know like obviously like. that's going to drive a lot of. conversation so I think whereas in years. past maybe some of these guys it's more. of an unknown like people know that. there is no middle ground with him it's. either people love him or they hate him. so it might be easier to kind of leak. these stories and get more conversation. out there shador uh uh Gucci CU just uh. put a video of a workout I believe Baker.

Mayfield's there shador Sanders speaks. on reports concerning his draft stock. everybody trying to make my stock drop. right now don't believe media okay don't. believe in media okay please please I. love it love it I love everything about. it and also he's been in the Limelight. forever mhm so like whenever you talk. about becoming the face of a program. Bradley. Martin. cut that was not Baker yeah cut to him. is that Bradley Martin a big yeah that.

kind of looks like Baker doesn't it. Bradley Martin has a lot of Baker sorry. I know Bradley is much more jacked but. whenever it's just a side profile there. had a lot of Baker I do apologize for. getting that particular thing wrong but. shador is literally he's been there done. Tom Brady's been his mentor the Raiders. obviously have a top 10 pick there's so. much I'm excited to see unfappable. though he does feel unflappable like he. he does seem to handle everything very. well let's stick with the Browns bonio. is coming back congrats Jo congrats Joel. bonio you know if Joel.

bonio uh remains a brown forever which. is obvious and they never win this be. Joe Thomas at tackle bonio in there at. guard they're building a Hall of Fame. offensive line that has never really had. a chance uh to experience the High Life. and I think bonio is a guy that we've. got a chance to chat with and obviously. watch him do his thing excited he's back. good for football where you go bonio AR. aren't we all happy AJ for bat love you. Joel how could you not be happy I mean.

this guy is Cleveland football look at. him guy's awesome I agree where you go. bonio how about R came out and said I. didn't have an actual job with the. Browns and it was never talked about for. me to actually have a job oh yeah of. course they couldn't afford it have any. have any money has was like you know how. much money I had to put in a [ __ ] fun. you think I can get you as a DC no way. all right it's been a hell of a day. anything we didn't talk about that we. need to talk less need okay Boston Conor. less need chitchat about Cooper Cup this. does feel like it is a good convo.

because the Patriots are allegedly a. potential Contender for Cooper cup. Services obviously any team that's. looking for a wide receiver could. potentially look into Cooper cup but how. good is the market for Cooper cup Les. need spoke about it Con man yeah it kind. of sounds like the market isn't great. especially with some of these other uh. teams DK coming out and some other guys. being available Christian Kirk getting. cut but basically lesne just said like. sure yes there is a chance that Cooper. cup comes back but that is probably not. going to happen he also said you know.

you see what we're trying to do here. okay we're trying to get him to you know. be on a different team he clearly cost a. good amount of money you see the writing. on the wall when it comes to the cap. that they have with puka you know kind. of being one of those guys that got to. pay soon in the D linan from two years. ago go not even Jared verse that they're. also going to have to pay very good. players so it feels as though Cooper. Cub's getting moved and when we talked. about like you know Debo going for a. fifth and that being nothing it feels. like Cooper cup is going to be another.

one of those guys who goes for the bare. minimum but uh no matter where he goes. it does feel like if he's playing it's. going to be a hell of a get and you know. we've already mentioned how important it. is for Devonte you know to play on the. west coast simple you know moving sucks. don't want to do it Chargers makes a lot. of sense of course especially with the. you know the money they just Sav by. cutting Bosa and that would be a sweet. little package between lad makoni and. Cooper cup exciting whites over there in. LA some people think that that should be. illegal I would probably agree with that.

people um but even like a Sam Fran would. be cool there there's plenty of spots. Cooper cup will be perfect in yeah. Cooper cup when he's healthy as a game. changer that has certainly been the. question what the hamstring was really. the big thing yeah body Guru some sort. of like had to go up to Minnesota to get. it worked on yeah the Hamm in wide. receiver obviously that's a very. important part of the body if he gets. that figured out and he sent a message. out basically like hey I'm ready I want. to go continue to play we can't wait to. watch him good luck to Cooper cup buddy. luck and to the Rams who say uh you see.

what come on we get it everybody kind of. gets What's Happening Here We Love. Cooper we're thankful for Cooper. appreciative of Cooper Sean McVey said. I'm a better human because of Cooper cup. I'm a better Coach CU of Cooper cup but. it feels like that is over excited to. see who's the one that makes the. decision and what's the end up cont. contract for Cooper cup at the next team. uh no more contracts no more teams a. legend has. retired Mason Crosby what a run hell. yeah Mas I put out a tweet whenever I.

learned of Mason Crosby retiring because. I genuinely remember this guy kicking. whenever he was at Colorado I think he. was a Playboy All-American and they. wrote articles about him and uh he's a. little bit older than me so somebody. that I could kind of look up to and. watch and follow along with massive like. but at Colorado everybody said well he's. at altitude so easy to have a massive. leg there then he goes over to Lambo. field like one of the hardest places to. kick in the entire world swirling winds. incredibly cold and all he did was just.

become the all-time leading scorer break. all these records consecutive kicks in. the playoffs and he played for 17 years. so at the kicking position to be able to. play for 17 years the amount of work. commitment uh technical strategizing you. have to do with your body the just. everything it takes to be be able to be. at that high of a level to be one of the. best 32 kickers in the world and to. perform is immense so congratulations to. Mason you did great things for the brand. and his surprise onside kick was Lethal.

and I watched that as well as I was. trying to learn my own with the leadup. and setup so watching this Silver Fox. from afar helps me out immensely and uh. from all accounts he was beloved by his. teammates AJ obviously you were a. teammate of his I think that's one of. the biggest things that I respect when. it comes to kickers and punters as well. yeah and Mason was a guy like he came in. the year after me so I mean 23. consecutive postseason field goals. that's unbelievable like when in the. biggest moments he he never shied away.

and was always great but he's one of. those guys where you know people take. kickers and punters for granted they. really do like when you have a great one. you do people tend to take them for. granted I remember multiple times. thinking how lucky we were to have Mason. Crosby I mean in college Mike nent was a. kicker like unbelievable I don't ever. remember n missing a field goal I don't. remember Mason really missing a field. goal either that's what I realized how. lucky I was to be a teammate of him when. it's something you don't have to worry. about like you know when you don't have. a kicker you hear these coaches talking. about hey you know I just say a little. prayer every time he runs on the field.

like I we never had that worry when. Mason Mason was out there because the. dude was Ultra confident never what was. cool too is he never complained about. the elements or what was going on you. know it's a tough place to kick in Lambo. the wind swear when it's freezing cold. he never he never said anything about. that he just went out there and made. everything I feel like yeah it was a. shock when when he missed you know. there's there's a few guys that it's. like you're surprised when he miss and. he had that one game that was terrible. yeah it was against the Lions and then. he kind of got like The Yips the game. after that that was literally the only. time in his career where 17 years.

exactly where it didn't feel like it he. was absolutely automatic and then you. talk about like having a guy like you. know you say praying when the guy runs. on of the field like that's a when when. a guy like that leaves and you move on. for him and all of a sudden it's not him. anymore like it is it's jarring like. it's just it's crazy I mean that's what. the Packers ran into two years ago in. the playoffs like it was lefur got. pissed and it was kind of tongue and. cheek but he told Tom raldi when Andrew. Carlson he was like Hey when we set him. out there you know we kind of hold our.

breath like you never had that with. Mason Crosby like you always expected. him to make those kicks he obviously. always made him in the playoffs and then. when you move on from a guy like that. and you don't have it anymore like it's. drastic how much it changes your. football team and as a fan like just how. much more anxiety it gives all the time. I uh I respected and appreciated the way. Mason went about doing his work so much. so that I heard he owned a bar and I. only ate at that place for the entire. weekend to support his business that was. a lie I heard right he does not own any.

restaurants or bars around Lambo not. that I know of no well whatever it was. that's a good gimmick you got me yeah I. got you hul line Sinker I had breakfast. lunch and dinner at that place for three. straight days hell yeah I'll support. Mason everything he's done uh congrats. Mason hell of a career buddy believe he. also had 25 five tackles and a force. fumble in his career he's a football guy. dog might be why I respected and. appreciated him so so much I forgot. about those tactics um he put out a. letter to Green Bay thanking them for. all the love and how appreciative he was.

to be a member of the community and to. be a Green Bay Packer Silver Fox looks. incredibly professional I believe he and. his brother are also currently hosting a. podcast excited to see what he does in. this post NFL career you're going to do. great things Mason you're a weapon dude. congratulations oh yeah. you guys got a sword over there with MC. Magnus now yeah yeah that's why they. paid him I think we're not doing that. whole [ __ ] again no because it was it's. like that that is the that's the worst. thing ever when it like literally is. like 5050 whether a guy's going to make.

a kick and not like you know even like. Mason you sent him out there for like 55. plus and you always felt like okay he's. going to make this but when when you get. a guy when like you send him out there. for like a 40 yarder and you still don't. know like there's a very good chance. he's going to Mason hit that little left. to right ball right he had like a little. left to right if I recall little bit. little baby fade yeah had a little baby. fade NJ hit the draw. right uh NJ I don't know dead straight. down the middle I don't know what I. don't know if he was hooking it or. fading it I don't remember n's balls I.

remember coach Trestle though when we. were kick we'd watch Special Teams as a. team in in college and you know the one. end zone at Ohio stadium with the closed. end there's a huge Flag Pole right in. the middle that that's right in the. middle of the goal post and N every. extra point that he would kick coach. Trestle would sit there and if the ball. was like a half a centimeter off that. flag play like n nuds we're going to. need to we're going to need to tighten. this up a little bit like if he if it. wasn't dead center like because n was. that good he could almost mess around. and joke like hey that didn't split the.

uprights perfectly that was almost a Mis. kick for you aim small Miss small NJ was. that guy second round draft. pick yeah or end of the first yeah. seriously yeah maybe a first- round. draft pick dog absolute dog what a. career at Ohio State Ohio that flag pole. there it is right down and there he is. hit it right down the middle second. round second round pick beginning is. second though I think 47 oh middle. nonetheless still pretty around draft. pick Centerville Ohio it's crazy what a. dog that elk snuck that one in doesn't.

matter count it against Kent State uh. all right congrats to Mason Crosby and. uh shout out to nuds dude he's always. been super cool to me too every time I. see him so I appreciate him Mason Crosby. and Nan it's taking me back like when I. was college kid like what guys should I. need to those are the guys acce Crosby. done. now Adam vetar not going in first ballot. it's [ __ ] crazy that's [ __ ] I. agree I don't think anybody in there. would have been upset no way no you know. and they do get upset about guys that go.

in I think like the Hall of Famers I. think they there's like people that. don't get out if vinary would have got. in I think even the o lman or whatever. whoever would be most pissed potentially. like V yeah yeah Adam V makes sense and. he might get screw screwed over next. year because of how good the. the eligible you know firsttime guys are. yeah agreed and what you say AJ he's a. dude he's a dude that's why another. reason why he should absolutely be it. yeah I agreed all right let's get the. hell out of here we're back tomorrow big. time Feel Good Friday tomorrow big time.
