AP tone is here obviously rocking your. Pittsburgh Steelers sweatshirt. Pittsburgh Steelers playing in a massive. one game day baby big one on Thursday. Night Football we'll dive into that in a. matter of moments but today this show is. going to be different than it's ever. been before in a matter of about nine. minutes or so ESPN's number two.

ranked player coming out of the 2025. class which uh it would be seniors right. now cuz remember you graduate in June. correct even though all these top guys. are done in December and go to campus. earlier this guy uh reclassified he was. originally supposed to be 2026 he skips. forego his junior year becomes a senior. instead of his junior year so. academically mhm big brain big brain in. this kame he is a number two player in. the country we're watching his highight. I don't know how this guy's the number.

two player I don't know who the number. one player in the country is but this. dude went for. 531 yards in five touchdowns as a. freshman okay he's like 15 years old in. Georgia's state championship 7A that's a. record obviously their team lost I don't. know how that I don't know how that. happens but that was as a freshman this. year he's going uh absolutely berserk. this past weekend he threw for four. touchdowns 431 yards in a playoff game. or whatever he has 132 touchdowns 18. picks over his three threeyear High.

School career thus far he was committed. to USC he did commit it on Sunday and in. a matter of about 8 minutes he'll be. announcing on this program which we are. incredibly grateful for where he will be. attending school uh we just want to tell. Julian Le Juju hey thanks for allowing. us be part is abolutely awesome buzz in. the air this morning oh yeah cuz we do. not know okay might have been given a. heads up of a couple places it could. have been cuz we wanted to you know like. hey can we get some cuz we would like to. do this right we don't get to do this a.

lot this is a massive moment for you we. would like to make sure it's good so can. you give us a couple got a chance to. talk to his dad TC dog yeah love this. guy great conversation great chat uh got. the chance to learn about the world you. know CU this dude as a freshman he's. starting 7A Georgia football Georgia is. that's a great football state 7A is the. biggest it could possibly be going for. 531 in five tuds in the state. championship game that's against the. best players in Georgia as a freshman. he's doing that so this dude's been in a. limelight for a long time number two I.

once again I have no idea the number one. good luck you got to be a beast you got. to be real good you got to be real good. uh but there's a couple places I guess. that have been reported on the internet. they told us a couple different schools. that it could be so we are ready. graphically to uh celebrate with him. cannot wait to hear where he's going and. obviously that's going to Rattle the. college football world so that's in a. matter of about seven minutes or so and. then we got Michael Lombardi uh multiple. times Super Bowl champion joining us and. then we have uh the greatest fighter of. all time Jon Jones joining us pan for.

pan number one fighter on Earth until. the day he's done fighting as Dana White. would say and anybody with eyes that's. ever watched him fight he'll be joining. us in the second hour and then we got. Kevin oconnell head coach of the. Minnesota Vikings joining us at 205. eastern time so to say this is an. awesome Thursday would be an. understatement but this is week 12. kickoff Thursday the NFL kicks off this. evening in another massive division. rivalry game oo the Pittsburgh Steelers. MH 8-2.

travel to play the Cleveland bronze 2. and8 as three and a half Point favorites. I know the prime crew has got to be. excited for this one AFC North football. always delivers the dog pound will show. up for this game whether they're 2-8 0. and10 0 and 13 it's going to be an. electrifying environment and I assume in. Cleveland it's similar here to. Indianapolis first day of snow wild. first day of snow today woke up this. morning with snow on the ground and snow. falling should be a perfect football. evening so coach Pano I go to you one of. these teams eight- two the other two and.

eight uh so obviously you would think to. yourself the Steelers should definitely. win this one right I mean this is a. evident evidence Steelers win if we were. to look at this one from a 30,000 foot. View Coach absolutely not only the. overall records um but you look at the. stats like this Pittsburgh defense. against this Cleveland offense they're. 31st in total offense they're 28th. rushing the ball I know jamus went for a. bunch of yards this taes hill guy for. Orleans yeah pretty good like 200 plus.

yards uh on the ground overall total. yards I guess you know throwing catching. running hitting spiking whatever in the. end zone yeah so on paper it looks. like Pittsburgh should just run away. with this right you got you got Russ is. cooking you got picking you got TJ. W you know you got talking about that. we're showing a graphic right now on the. screen that says a lot of different. things you know like the graphic that's. currently on the screen Chuck and I I.

don't want to I don't want to make you. look like an idiot as you're speaking. with this these stats right next to your. face there's a lot of stats that are. saying hold the phone Mike Tomlin. Pittsburgh Steelers as a total uh not. great you know on Thursday night against. division Rivals is that because they. know they're song and dance so they. don't fall for the crop and then the. Browns have won their last six Thursday. night matchups Mike Tomlin 0 and5 on the. road on Thursday night against. divisional opponent Steelers 0 and seven. okay so that's how many times uh before. Tomlin that this particular uh situation.

occurred so those stats I think. condescend everything you're potentially. saying are those ones that Tomlin knows. about you think or thinking about Trap. game oh maybe this is Trap game what do. you think huge win over the Ravens huge. now you got to go on the road place you. have not won on Thursday night black and. blue Division I was at Cleveland for. four years I've been part of that dog. pound we were worth the [ __ ] but when. this we weren't got run after four years. but when this team came to town. I saw William green and Joey Porter in.

pregame warm-ups fist fight yeah both. ejected hell yeah yeah this. is start that's how and you know why the. line's only three and a half why just. because of that so let's go to. Pittsburgh Steelers Die Hard fan AP tone. tone we just put those stats up there uh. knock great on Thursday night against. divisional foes why is that and how. scared are you for the Cleveland Browns. oh who do not have a lot to cheer for. right now nothing paid the quarterback. the most amount of money in the history.

of quarterbacks he is tor Achilles mhm. before a killes though was he no MM you. know I don't think. so everything else around him kind of. burning down Cleveland Browns are once. again the Cleveland Brown yeah same. Browns but boy they beat the Pittsburgh. Steelers in prime time Thursday Night. Football there's something that. Cleveland folks in the offseason will. talk [ __ ] about to every person from. Pittsburgh are you worried about that as. e yzer with your team potentially uh I. say get embarrassed but potentially.

losing to the Cleveland Browns who are. having one of their worst years they've. had in some time and that's saying a lot. about the Cleveland Browns am I worried. about the 2 Anda Cleveland Browns yeah. yeah I am um so not me but a lot of uh. the Steelers fan base like to call games. like this you know a a Tomlin game which. not me once again not me but the fan. base will they have a tendency to go on. the road not only on Thursday night but. just in general against inferior. opponents not just Play Down him would. play down them and lose those games for.

some reason it's it's crazy like they've. they beat the division leading Falcons. they beat the Chargers and Broncos were. both in the playoffs they beat the. commanders and Ravens who are both in. the playoffs but if they win this one. this will be one where Steelers fans are. like okay maybe we got something going. on here because it's been so insane like. that like them going on the road against. inferior opponents has just been a thing. that they haven't played well at all. doing but hey Russ is 9 and4 on uh on. Thursday Night Football I believe four. four- one against division opponent so. Russ may be the just the Difference.

Maker goes guys don't worry I know this. isn't your your spot but this is my spot. Prime Time Russ is going to be there. tonight so when they get this done. tonight hopefully potentially this one. will even be bigger than the raven ones. with last week okay because this is a. game that you guys normally lose I mean. as it was described from all these stats. 4-2 record against divisional foes now. granted Russell Wilson's brand new so he. doesn't know the defense Arthur Smith. offensive coordinator brand new so. playing the Cleveland Browns twice a. year hasn't really set in for him at. this particular point but this Russell.

Wilson LED Steelers does look different. than the Steelers of the past and by the. past I mean recent history here like the. last we'll say seven years maybe six. years where the offense kind of inep. even Ben's last couple years it was just. like quick stuff we're getting out we're. not really doing anything Russell has. changed that immensely will that be. enough to change the stats that the. Pittsburgh Steelers suck on Thursday. night against divisional foes I guess. you're saying yes well yeah and since. Ben's what is it his elbow injury in 19. whenever that happened it really you. you're you hit it nail on the head there.

um but in this situ oh boy plus tonight. weather is supposed to be absolutely. shite so they are going to you know the. Browns are going to muck it up try who's. that good for let's go back to the let's. go back to the ground game stats what. who can run the ball and who can stop. the. run who can it isn't the. brownies so made of Pittsburgh Steelers. coming and play Cleveland Brown football. against the Cleveland Browns in. Cleveland against the Browns and get a.

big Thurs night football win we'll. continue to chat about that let's not. make the world wait any long. no learning about this kid cuz he's 17. years old yes learning about this kid. this morning in the past 24 hours has. been awesome I didn't know it was. possible to do the [ __ ] that this kid. has done legit I just talked about the. beginning of the show. 531 yards five. touchdowns Georgia 7A state championship.

game as a freshman as a as a freshman he. did that at quarter state record. obviously never going to be touched okay. that's never going to be touched he's. currently in the middle of a playoff. push with his team down there in. Carolton and everybody on Earth wants to. know where the hell he's going to go to. school so joining us now an absolute. stud the future of football ladies and. gentlemen Julian Juju. leis Juju what up man how's it going hey. uh hair looks sweet sweet obviously that. was another thing we learned about you.

over the last 24 hours all your photos. look sweet how long we've been growing. that oh man since 8th grade eth grade. something like that it's like two years. ago got it okay yeah because you skipped. uh you obviously reclassified as a 2025. senior as opposed to a 2026 senior I. just talked about your freshman stats in. championship game uh at what point did. you realize like hey I'm a God you like. what sixth grade or you just absolutely. tearing people up when did it really. become like your thing. yeah I mean probably I was like 10.

probably I was 10 I mean I was out there. throwing seams and reading cover three. and all that freaky stuff back then so. probably yeah probably like 10 11 I was. like okay it's on that's amazing to hear. good for you by the way hey. congratulations that is awesome I have a. uh a baby girl McKenzie she's 18 months. old and once I realized what you were. able to do as a freshman I'm like our. McKenzie we got a chance we can dominate. things as freshman high school so I. appreciate the inspiration I was talking. to David mullette obvious got the. athletes first uh hoodie on right there.

he said you're talking to my guy ju guu. he is very similar to CJ Stout very. mature very calm football IQ through the. roof and obviously can put a ball. everywhere which is why everybody on. Earth is excited to hear where you're. going to go to school so without further. Ado ladies and gentlemen Julian Juju. Lewis will be playing football for whom. next year. brother uh I will be continuing Contin. continuing my athletic and uh academic.

career at here we go the University of. [Applause]. Colorado okay okay uh. congratulations uh we're we're. incredibly proud of you we're pumped for. you that you were able to make this. decision now obviously uh this is going. to be huge news not only in Colorado not. only in the Big 12 but the NFL is going. to have to talk about this as well. because of all the story line. surrounding coach Prime and what.

everybody's thinking there and when you. took your visit to Colorado there was a. photo of shador basically handing to. Keys over to you how big of a moment was. this and at what point did you know you. wanted to be a Colorado Buffalo I mean. of course it was big for me just coming. in after shador just seeing what he's. done to Colorado and what he's turned it. into but uh N I was it's definitely a. blessing getting put in this position to. coming after him with his dad I mean I. couldn't couldn't beat it what are your. conversations with Coach Prime like and. ultimately because a lot of obviously we.

see what Travis Hunter's doing and he I. think because he went to Colorado he's. been allowed to do all these things I. think some other schools would have. forced him to go one way or the other. and we'd all be left out of watching. greatness happen right in front of our. eyes What did Coach Prime tell you that. made you feel comfortable about taking. your career that has been prolific. already and extending it with him in. Colorado um I mean coach Prime's always. said like the best man is going to play. and uh that's really what I wanted was. to be able to come in and compete the. start as a freshman I mean I wouldn't.

have much fun sitting on the bench so I. was like I I want to come in somewhere I. can get a chance to play so he going to. let me compete for that that was big for. me so I assume you graduate uh here in. December and then you'll spring you'll. be up in Colorado I will be yes sir it's. beautiful up there brother now you're. from Georgia it's hot are you uh are you. excited about the chili and the views up. there in the Rockies it's it's kind of. icy right now I'm not gonna lie it's it. was like 35 this morning it's kind of B. wow okay I it's freezing as [ __ ] that uh. here in Indianapolis I guess down in Bur. down in Georgia 35's cold you get it.

yeah that's not a worry at all what are. your thoughts as you go on to play at. the next level you just excited to learn. or what are your your main objectives. yeah no I mean of course I'm excited to. learn under coach Shermer and Coach. Prime I was talking about it the other. day I don't think there's a a better. person to learn how to read defenses and. coverages than coach Prime Deion Sanders. so I mean just trying to trying to grow. mentally is my big thing uh they figured. out the offensive line too you know. which is good. news they open that thing up too oh yeah. we're going to be able to spin that.

thing I think everything that you're. great at they've obviously spotlighted. with shador in their offense uh we're. incredibly pumped for you man good luck. with everything sir appreciate you hey. thanks for letting us be a part of this. legitimately yeah no thank y'all thank. y'all for having me I don't know if. we're door dashing anything though are. we gonna door Dash anything to celebrate. I see the thing right over your shoulder. there oh man door Dash My go-to I. already got it on me you smart this is. that niio though this is brilliant good. luck with it all we appreciate you.

congrats brother appreciate it ladies. and gentlemen Julian Juju. Lewis he's in the middle of a playoff. push right now yeah so he's going to. take care of that I assume that's why he. wanted to make this decision as quickly. as you did decommits from USC on Sunday. here we are four days later just want. let's get back to ball now and get. focused 17 years old look at how. comfortable call me is I do believe this. younger entrepreneurial mindset has made. a lot of these kids have to mature and. much quicker rate but football IQ wise.

muletto was like Hey this kid and he. just said about e8th grade cover three I. started like breaking down it's like. it's just another level it feels like. these younger guys so who was it his. family his dad a coach brothers does he. have siblings where did he where did he. learn the game where did he gain all. this knowledge just from his High School. coaches yeah it said his dad played a. little bit at uh Yukon and then I I just. saw on his Instagram I don't know what. he like what position he has on the. coaching staff but I think he's involved. on the high school team as well I uh I. can't fathom no we should have known.

about him a lot earlier just want to let. you know definitely cuz this is. unbelievable stuff and I don't know how. many of these there are around the. country obviously there are big fish in. small ponds everywhere you know every. single high school probably has a best. player best everything what he's been. doing for and then he did the Quinn ERS. move which is reclassifying a year. earlier so academically you also have to. do a bunch of stuff so you have to be. intelligent you have to be focused. attention to detail and uh physically he.

just holds freshman year what he was. able to do 7A Georgia football Georgia. creates monst Georgia high school. football is very it's not like you're. just some crappy State this is a great. state where he performed very well coach. Prime's got to be elated about this. decision especially with shador on his. way out biggest classification in. Georgia like a couple years ago like. there's a good chance he was playing. against dudes who are either in the NFL. who went to Georgia or you know guys who. are going to be round pick so yeah like. I I feel like you know obviously there.

are special talents everywhere but like. very rarely do you see that number two. yeah what do you got to what's this guy. going to do you know breaking records at. 14 years old that's unbelievable look. number one is the kid who uh LSU and. Michigan are currently fighting over for. like the millions and millions of. dollars so I think that's very normal. now I think it's very normal operating. procedure he is I don't know how many. millions of millions what do you think. he got any idea I have no idea well so I. think Colorado so I I might be mistaken. in talking out of pocket here so uh.

because not everybody's just not. everybody just shows their accounts you. know not everybody just shows it. Colorado does have nil obviously have to. have to in this modern world that we're. in especially if you're going to want to. win championships which they're still. very much in it for the Big 12 right now. could end up in a college football. playoff which everybody would be. incredibly pumped about even their. haters would be pumped about because in. the biggest moment they get to see him. you're you're from B so yeah so I can't. even imagine right now so the N what's. going on in the nil stuff I don't think.

Colorado is at the level of uh like. there are some schools that have are. Head and Shoulders above not at USC's. level even you know well and I think us. yeah exactly and I don't think USC is. anywhere near Schools andio Ohio State. and Oregon well yeah yeah exactly and in. the great state of Texas down you're. talking about like there is some nil. stuff at some of these schools that are. Head and Shoulders above everybody else. so it's not just the amount of money. it's not I don't think he took the. biggest check he was offered if I am.

reading the tea leaves properly in. college football but what he's choosing. is development absolutely and like uh. connections and blueprint on how to. become an NFL Pro or how to become a. legacy or a legend and Hall of Famer and. everything like that like coach Sabin. talks about this Alabama did not have. you know at the end here when nio is. real but like the cell was hey you're. GNA come here and this is the blueprint. this is kind of a thing I think Dion's.

doing the same exact thing over there in. Colorado and that's a big part of the. pitch and a lot of the schools that. don't have the Deep Pockets that. everybody else is that is going to have. to be the way they sell it because. somebody can show up with a hey here's. three million bucks to come play and. then another school is like we got one. and a half million you know that's. you're still a millionaire pretty sweet. that's still a lot of money but you're. going to have to make up that difference. somewhere right you're gonna have to. make up that difference somewhere and I. think coach Prime that coaching staff. everything they've been able to do and. prove that they can do at any level he. was doing high school he was doing HBCU.

now he's doing it a power four program. in a power four conference and then. obviously with what Shor and trais those. might be top five picks yeah oh yeah. those might be two top five picks from. the same program two Heisman finalists. from the same program it's like in a. very quick time coach Prime has proved. himself legitimacy obviously and uh I. assume his dad TC massive fan of Coach. BR for yeah so he has that it's like uh. good stuff happen inor big challenge for. them is not only the nil right and you.

know Prime Rick George has got the. biggest challenge right the the athletic. director a year ago this time it looked. like what are we doing right. everybody's so we started out saying. what this little project this little. whatever and now fast forward to today. and this announcement now Rick George. you better you better secure you some. cash and some cheese you better start. shaking some hands like Sig down the. road here in Bloomington just got you.

know ripped off a nice little check. right 64 eight per eight per right yep. CU now the all the talk on TV all the. Punit now is is Dion to the NFL Dion. here Dion there right he said he's got. his kick stand down right and he's he's. set up this where he wants to be just. got the number two commit in the entire. country but it's money Money Talks right. now Prime may not need a nickel probably. if I'm guessing right I don't I don't. think he needs hey I mean we all how. much money is enough money not enough.

not enough there is so he's doing fine. but Rick George the athletic director. kudos to him pulling this thing off. Kudos that staff um Prime what he's. doing getting this deal I know those I I. know the money guys here in Boulder. still do you really they got all no they. have to step up yes they do yeah yeah is. it all Pon up there with money or who is. it no you got a little bit of everything. kind of eclectic it's a beautiful area. well that's the other thing to talk.

about is that right now it's all D on D. on to the NFL it's like we should think. about the other school that he. decommitted from like Lincoln Riley has. been loud about going to the NFL the. past few years not him himself but. people just talking about it like you. wonder with the guy with him. decommitting especially with this money. conversation like Lincoln Riley could. easily be going to the NFL next year and. we're not really talking about it. because shadur and you know Dion and. Prime that's more so the story right now. those windows that we all have mhm they. close really fast yeah yeah like you're. hot in one second last couple.

years then you're offense coordinator. for another team yeah no longer you're. not so like when that when uh you better. strike while while it's hot congrats. Juju hell. yeah cool kid hair sweet unbelievable he. already has a head and shoulders deal. weight nice M hey mulata let's go he. know probably hairspray somewhere let's. go how about him having Miga as this guy. that's a big deal so you can so I'm. behind so you can have like you're at.

high school you can have an agent that. well you need one cuz if you don't I. know with the ni but so you can sign. you're I think so yeah now I don't to be. clear uh if you're a junior high and. David muletta says he would like to. handle your business for you or help you. handle your business you sign that. contract with David Mig now there's also. a lot of bad agents that are probably. trying to do something similar which is. a part of the entire development of. having to have guard rails on this whole. thing going forward which I think. there's a judgment coming q1 of next.

year about how it's all going to work. out but yeah I I think the fact that uh. I think Mig do miss much no you know I. think he and to be a great agent. obviously you have to have a great. negotiating ability great communicating. skills but you also have to be a good. scout yeah like you have to who you're. so whenever I get a text from miget's. like hey heard you got my guy Juju. coming on I immediately was like this. dude's a Metta guy what good for him. good for his family door Dash just. sitting right there perfect door Dash is. sitting right there mhm he knows signed.

card up on the other side he knows. congrats Juju a TC the whole family. thanks for allowing us to be a part of. that now uh let's get back to this. evening's game uh Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland Browns I think it's going to. be a good Prime Time game absolutely and. you you know there was a time where you. were a bit bummed out about these Prime. Time games but tonight I think it's a. guaranteed to deliver now it might not. be this uh explosive game no but there's. going to be some Ram TR F moments that. are going to happen tonight yeah that.

was kind of like last week like we were. very excited about eagles commanders cuz. there's going to be a lot of points and. all that and it started off very slow. but it was still good because it was. kind of a Smashmouth type game. personally this is like the worst line. we've probably ever had on any of the. thirds Night Football games at three and. a half favored to the Steelers because. in one hand you say well I can't bet on. the Browns and then have them get blown. out because obviously you're not. supposed to bet on the Browns and then. on the other hand you think well I. shouldn't bet on the Steelers because. this line in reality should be 8 and a.

half N9 and A2 but actually is three and. a half so they're telling you to take. the Browns I think it's going to be a. Smashmouth Nick chub n putting their. heads down running all over the place I. don't know exactly who's going to win. the game to be completely honest with. you but from what Tona said as much as. this game means it does feel like the. Steelers have to get this one done 36. and a half over under is that low for an. NFL game yeah but it might be too high. to be honest really I mean with the. weather in these two teams like I I if I.

was a b man and I bet on Steelers games. AR probably take the under aren't you. you're the host of a sports betting show. you are a Batman right I am a bman yeah. yeah and you get like going on judged. completely on it yeah so you saying if I. was a betting man is awesome just. thinking you are a betting man but you. were trying to this is like a Mr Kim. type exactly uh Mike F yeah bingo Mike F. who runs the show by the way Mike F runs.

the show Mike Foss runs the show of. course thank you to front office Sports. for the um the seemingly nice write up. on LinkedIn there's some. backhanded you know know have do their. thing and numbers wrong and whenever. you're going to put a valuation on a. company front office Sports you know. that let's make sure we're right and we. take into account all the businesses. that are in there because you could be. potentially cutting me off at the knees. a little bit publicly when you don't. have a clue about the valuation of Ouran. but I do appreciate the kind words in.

there says mike F runs the Mike F runs. the show Mike F runs the show he. actually told us to lead with what we. love with oh yeah he writes a script for. us yeah that's crazy and if you do a. wide shot if you do a wide shot so uh. zoom out a little bit can you zoom out a. little bit so these are just. teleprompters these right here those are. these are just teleo there's ones over. there I'm too and Mike Foss is actually. just typing the entire show so that we. can uh we can read it Mike Foss the one.

that books everybody that comes on the. show he sends all the emails and text. messages he actually told me what to. wear today yeah well he said need you to. wear another New England hat like you. did yesterday that was a big hit do the. Boston hockey now do the Patriot yeah we. can't thank Mike Foss. enough orders all the food preo I wish. you know he could have got mine here a. little earlier today but outside of that. he bought this place he bought the. Thunder told me to wear flannel yep. Bingo built the Thunder never done that. he he he wired it all up never wore.

flannel yeah never Foss comes through. sends the text hey Chuck gonna need you. to do that come thanks for running the. show f f i don't know where I'd be where. we'd be without Foss in the [ __ ]. before we even got the ESPN 2 think. about this it was crazy cuz Foss was. working at ESPN but he was doing what. he's doing now for our show still for us. whenever we W with ESPN multitask guys. down the road just typing up hey let me. let me help you guys out let me go aad. and type this up we love Foss M Foss. doesn't [ __ ] run [ __ ] on our show. okay just one little journalistic.

standard Creation in that whole thing. but he is a massive help for us a. massive weapon for us and wildly. handsome and also a huge part of the. future of ESPN we love Mike fos yeah. great soccer player as well great soccer. player can play footy did not should. have subbed himself in more I think. definitely you know he was a little sure. he was just a little bit hes a little. timid yeah yeah just cuz he didn't want. to be so good that everyone else was. like why the hell am I even here I think. legitimately did not want to step on. anybody's toes okay this everybody's.

thing it's like hey foso we we get in. there F we need you over there need that. boot we love foso absolutely love Mike. fos but that was you know one line in. that particular thing that uh. potentially made me say oh you just want. to discredit everything I've ever done. okay got it that makes sense I. appreciate that but nonetheless we. appreciate kind words being said about. this because that is very abnormal. that's maybe the most abnormal thing. that has ever happened far and Fe. between now it was on LinkedIn too so. all those people on LinkedIn are big. fans of ours true you know so I'm sure. that is all going uh very well but.

nonetheless big night tonight yeah Huge. lot of ram truck moments joining us now. as a person who's had a job with. Cleveland Browns has been a part of this. rivalry before he's multiple time Super. Bowl champion an absolute stallion of an. Italian man he's podcast host live show. host he's a Ted speaker he's an email. newsletter founder ladies and gentlemen. Michael. Lombardi what's up guys how we doing we. are going to witness uh history tonight. I mean Al may not wear a tie it's going. to be too cold but the history is going.

to be this will be the first game Pat. that jamus Winston has played in. temperatures below 40 degrees in his NFL. career W can you imagine that no that I. did not know that obviously he's down at. Tampa he's down New Orleans comes up to. Cleveland this year you would think one. of those teams would have had a game. though against some right North opponent. late in the season they have not how. would James handle it I wonder yeah cuz. even going back to college you wonder. how many he played with at Florida State. probably none yeah the reason we measure.

hands at the combine on quarterbacks is. because of nights like tonight you know. when you have small hands uh it maybe. becomes difficult to handle a slippery. football and and jamus had really small. hands coming out of college so this will. be a challenge for him against a very. good Pittsburgh front and his and and. his ability to handle a wet football in. the conditions that we're going to face. tonight it'll be great football it' be. fun to watch watch well as Jim Harbaugh. said tonight's going to be a cold night.

okay shout out to the blackeyed peas. love the blackeyed peas but you're. talking about cold and rainy is that the. story of tonight jamus Winston. potentially having to handle all that or. this is AFC North football whoever's. more physical than the other team is. going to wiip yeah no I think the story. of tonight is why the Steelers and and. and and certainly we that dig can talk. about digs can talk about this is they. don't win on Thursday night Mike Tomlin. has struggled on the road on Thursday. nights it's been really bad he's 0 and. seven straight up and against the spread.

he hasn't been very good on Thursday. night away from Pittsburgh that's been a. problem so and one thing we do know. about the AFC North or the old Central. if you will however you want to call it. you know the the underdog has always had. a place at the table they're at 61%. covering the number in these type of. games so even though it doesn't look. weird even though it doesn't look like. it should be a close game the Browns. have only scored over 18 points one time. off season but they did it against the. Ravens believe it or not so even though.

it doesn't look like it should be a good. game it probably going to be a really. good defensive ugly struggle and come. down to the final five minutes every. time we get a chance to talk about one. of these AFC North games I just I can't. help but think about how lucky I was to. grow up in one of these AFC North towns. so whenever I see four and a half point. spread last week for the Ravens against. Pittsburgh Steelers it's like hold the. four and a half we think this is what we. think this is going to be be like and. then tonight three and A2 I know it's.

not 4 and a half but it's certainly more. than a field goal that feels big to me. for an AFC North game that's just that. just kind of feels big to me especially. with the conditions being the way they. are yeah it feels big to me too because. look both these teams they know each. other there's the Rivalry right I mean I. I've been a part of it last year believe. this or not it was the first time the. Steelers didn't finish ahead of the. Browns in the standing in the a in the. AFC North or if you want to go back to. the AFC Central 1989 when Kevin Mack. scored against the Houston te Houston.

Oilers to win that game on the last day. and that was the last time the Browns. finished ahead of them until last year. so this has been an intense rivalry and. it's going to continue to be that way. and I think the Steelers have the work. cut out for them tonight even though the. Browns you know lost badly last week. they still gained 400 some yards 443. yards against the Saints Jam is threw. for the most yards of any time any. quarterback in Cleveland Brown this. season so it'll be it'll be fascinated. if he protects the football that's. what's going to really come out of this.

what what happens does he not protect it. or or does he is this game going to be a. part of your picks at the end of this. conversation or no no because I don't. trust jamus with his small hands in cold. [Laughter]. weather sorry you know I mean I worry. about it because those I can't trust a. guy smell they smell like cabbage you. know smell like. right oh that's ridiculous all right so.

you're just staying away from this one. that's smart uh absolutely Yeah couple. more stats here you talk about the. standings and everything and this. doesn't just about uh tonight's game but. just Pittsburgh Steelers as a whole this. is from hembo Pittsburgh's preseason. over under was eight wins MH Tomlin will. hit the over with its next win for the. fifth consecutive season okay and it. will be the 12th time in 18 Seasons if. he does it now there's a chance yeah. uhhuh if he does it stingy team it the. 12 well not just tonight there rest of. the.

season right it'll be the 12th time in. 18 Seasons that tomlin's team has. exceeded its preseason win total so like. projected expectations Tomlin has. obviously outperformed them this year. though feels like one of the teams that. can maybe get them out of like 13 to 21. draft picks right isn't that kind of. what the expectation is this year yeah. it is I mean we've been sitting in that. yeah 13 18 20 range for the last since. really The Last 5 Years um and that's. and what does that mean that's I mean. that's the Purgatory that we sit in that.

means you're above 500 but you're losing. a lot of games too no chance to win a. Super Bowl but not could win every game. correct and it it's like uh it's kind of. a Purgatory that the Steelers have been. Russell Wilson has seemingly taken yers. out of this I got a textas morning from. Bones it was Jack Black kicking Will. Ferrell's dog off the bridge and he says. this is what's happening to the Browns. tonight the dog pound and then obviously. a full thing about how he feels but. yinzer feel like this is a team that can. actually go which hasn't happened in a.

long time I think for actual Steelers. fans deep down yeah I mean look Wilson's. played really well he averaged 7.8 yards. per attempt think about this now Pat. he's only started four games he's thrown. for 942 yards in those four games. whereas the field started six games and. he threw for 1100 yards so they're. throwing the ball down the field with. more consistency right he had the bad. interception last week against Baltimore. but for the most part they've also. improved their running game over the. last five games that they've played. they've averaged 152 yards rushing and.

they've only given up 17.2 points per. game in those five games they played. really good defense look what Mike does. is Mike Mike is a great leader of men. and he's a great football coach and he. proves the point that head NFL coaches. are about leadership and about devising. a game plan to allow you to win the game. and it may not look pretty it may not. look fine it may not be explosive but at. the end of the day we kick six field. goals and we'll win the game you know.

that we'll win we'll kick six field. goals against the Falcons and win the. game no matter what we have to do to win. we're going to win the game and I think. that goes to tomlin's ability to instill. mental toughness and physical toughness. in his team it's really remarkable to. watch and it's fun look we're seeing it. this year we have nine teams that have. only won three games in the league the. Saints have won four but they beat three. of those wins have come against teams in. the bottom I think this this statement. that you're seeing from Shawn pton. you're seen from Jim Harbaugh you're. seeing from Mike Tomlin about head.

coaches running their teams I think it's. a powerful statement yeah having a. strategy to win the game as opposed to. just being you know this is what we're. going to do and it's either going to. work or it's not going to work is a. beautiful thing and then in-game. management is a big decision as well and. then obviously having a kicker like. Boswell make the kicks that's a huge. deal especially tonight with the way. this weather's going to be you know he. hops coming off a bad game Hopkins. missed a couple last week including. missing a 32 y penalty getting another. opportunity at it misses a 27 Yard Man.

now gr I'm a guy who has missed short. field goals but they didn't let me kick. in the NFL sure so like normally. whatever you're missing you know shorter. field goals there's something going on. either mentally or maybe with your. stroke hopefully hop who I have a lot of. f I'm a big fan of gets it back but. tonight could be a big field goal game. weather's about to be absolute crap BOS. is proven that this year he is stroken. you know I mean oh yeah he's stroking in. the East he's stroking in the west I. mean b to the I love strok he is I mean.

he's been stroking all year so tonight. could come down to that okay let's PIV. it off this Thursday night football game. let's go to some other teams con man's. got a question for you yeah lombo how do. you feel about the teams on the bubble. obviously the Colts are one of them the. Bengals even though they just lost to. the Chargers are still in it and then of. course the Dolphins at 4- six going up. against New England this weekend on the. AFC side do you see any of them catching. the Broncos and do you see any of the. teams in the NFC too as well well cuz. that race is much closer I I think Miami.

when I when Miami's schedule came out. they ended the season with in Cleveland. and at the Jets and I thought well. that's not good for two of cold weather. games they're probably going to need. them to get into the playoffs but now. even though they still will be cold. weather both those teams have mailed it. in that won't be really factoring games. when it comes down to it I think Miami. still has a chance to do it but this. Denver team let's make no mistake about. it they're hard to play they destroyed. Atlanta they were physical they took. control Bo Knicks is getting better. Sean's doing a really good job of.

working three elements of his team. offense defense and look they had Kansas. City beat I can promise you Patrick. Mahomes was sore after that Kansas City. game I mean after that Denver game he. was sore so I think they are look I. Cincinnati is a track team they're a. seven on seven team right I feel bad for. Lu Amaro because they they they can't. they have no physicality to their team. they're a third down nickel team they. really are they're a two-minute team and. Joe burrow an MVP season and they've won. three games I mean you're got to have to.

play complimentary football to win games. they just don't they turn the ball back. over to the Chargers they take 25. seconds off the clock and then they lose. on a touchdown at the last second they. don't run the ball when they have a. chance or they don't throw it when they. have a chance to beat Baltimore it just. continues to mount they're one and seven. in one score games so I I I just don't. see them and for the Colts they're just. too inconsistency I love Richardson last. week they ran an offense that fits them. I think can he do it another week that's. what I'm excited to watch I think the.

thing about Anthony Richardson is he had. two weeks where us included pointed out. very obvious things about being a. starting quarterback in the NFL and all. you heard everybody around him say is. like yes all these things potentially. real but also 22 years old this guy is. still younger than a lot of the. quarterbacks are still in college and. all the quarterbacks that are in the NFL. he still can change and develop habits. and they said over two weeks he was more. invested more prepared seemingly better.

than ever and whenever he was running. through people he was bouncing right. back up there wasn't even a thought of. like ah ah he now he understands that. everything he does is being watched not. only by the public eye and the media but. by his teammates and by people in the. building and people that maybe have an. investment stake in the Indianapolis. Colts it's like that twoe period there. where he got benched for Joe flacko and. even though Joe Flaco didn't play how we. thought Joe Flaco was going to play I.

think it was a massive moment for the. development of Anthony Richardson and. behind closed doors behind closed doors. we're being told like night and day here. now now we got like a different. operating procedure and I think if. you're Shane stiking you should be. pumped if you're a Colts fan you should. be pumped and if you're Dan Campbell in. the Detroit Lions I think yeah we should. be maybe some Scaredy Cats up here look. I think the Lions should have a little. deeper purr maybe going on this week. because you got a mad Colts team that. can still get in everything is still. very much in front of us now the Lions.

oh yeah we know they're Super Bowl. they're jugg it a Super Bowl or bust. almost conversation every year for the. next 10 years for you guys amen but with. the Colts you're talking about like a. desperate team that cannot lose another. one and it's at our house and I'm not. saying that that means anything with. this Lions team they don't play with. their food either they beat the [ __ ] out. of people they do what they got to do. but I think Anthony Richardson if he's. going to continue to be invested in the. team seeing that he's invested so they. all know that they have a chance really. win these games it's going to be a good. battle it's going to be a good battle. and historically Lions haven't been.

great against running quarterbacks so if. AR is making good decisions and running. the ball without anzalone that might be. a little bit of an issue so we'll see. what happens you scaredy. C to be clear not afraid of any team in. the NFL right now not afraid of any team. okay well there there's a team in the. NFC that beat you guys last year Tai. Schmid has a question for you yeah Lambo. one of those teams on the NFC side you. didn't mention that is on the bubble but. could still also win the division the. 49ers they've been banged up week in.

week out and for whatever reason they. just don't look like the same team as. last year obviously they have a tough. game this weekend against the Packers uh. in Lambo but what do you what do you. think of this 49ers team like should we. should we write them off yet or do do we. expect them to kind of get back to where. everyone thought they were going to be. you know before the season started well. they're so depleted injury-wise just. take their defensive line if Bosa. doesn't play this weekend the four. starters from the last time time they. played Green Bay in the divisional round. aren't even going to be on the field.

they're not the same team defensively. and offensively they're just still not. where they need to be mcaffrey is coming. back off the injury I mean Jordan Mason. averaged over five yards a carry I think. I think they need to kind of use. McCaffrey kind of a little differently. because he's below four yards a carry so. far where Mason was really power they. need that power Run game a little bit. and and I think not having KD last week. was hard you know realize you have to go. back to the Dallas Cowboys in 2000. before you can find a team that had had.

a lead in the fourth quarter by four or. more points that lost it to divisional. Rivals and that's what's happened to the. 49ers had a 10-point lead against. Arizona had a 10-point lead against the. Rams had a seven had a four-point lead. against the the the uh Seattle Seahawks. and they lost it and their defense. didn't couldn't get a stop now Bosa got. hurt they didn't control him in the. pocket this will be a hard game look. Green Bay is really a good team but. there's some deficiencies with green Bay. they lead the league and drop passes at. receiving right they're not a great.

third down team for as good as they are. skill-wise and as good as the offensive. line pass protects but the issue with. Green Bay more than anything is that. they're very good on second down they're. the second best team in the National. Football League in converting first. downs and two downs I call that Canadian. football and when you play Canadian. football you're good that's when you're. really good you get momentum you get. going but I think they're going to need. a great game out of Jordan love who's. not as accurate as he was last year and. remember in that game they played out. there in the divisional round Jordan. love they only had three first downs in.

the fourth quarter they they couldn't. they had a turnover they had a a Miss. field goal and they had a punt and so. they really couldn't close that game out. they they're going to need Josh Jacobs. to duplicate what Aaron Rogers did he. had eight Aaron Jones excuse me he had. 18 carries for 103 yards in that game I. I think this is a hard game for San. Francisco because of where they are. injury wise yeah and also let's not. discredit that the Seattle Seahawks good. team yeah the entire NFC West very much. better this year I think than they've. been in years past and obviously Packers.

are going to be a tough challenge every. single year but maybe the ners just CST. a little bit you know maybe they've been. through it coming off a loss not the. place I would want to play the ners but. the Green Bay Packers aren't worried. about nothing are you no but I mean like. Lomo said like you got to stop turning. the [ __ ] ball over you know that's. kind of giving giving these teams you. know five six extra possessions you know. you can't beat everybody doing that you. know where Green Bay not very good Pat. and this is what makes playoff team. playoffs are always decided by Third and. fourth and short and always at the end. of the half scoring green Bas the 31st.

team in the National Football League and. handling third and F third and short on. defense they're not good there they're. the 31st team in the National Football. League and stopping people from scoring. in the four minute at the at the the. middle eight so they don't play really. good and then what makes them really. challenging is they're the worst they're. the 31st defense on first down pass. defense on their defense they have six. first round picks on defense so they got. a lot invested in this defense but they. don't play to that level all the time. and they haven't turned the ball over. recently like they did earli in the year.

this will be interesting I think San. Francisco comes out throwing the key to. this game for San Francisco is they got. to play from in front they can't get. into a drop back pass game I didn't know. that that about third and fourth in. short for the Green Bay Packers because. if you think late in the NFC playoffs. third and fourth and short is a. guaranteed go yeah and we're talking. about the Eagles here MH and that's uh. automatic that's just you might as well. just continue running that entire thing. and then first down he said pass defense. not great at all so they're staying on. schedule in this entire thing and then. middle l no they're bad on they're.

they're bad on they're bad you can throw. the ball as good as anybody against them. on first down they're very generic on. first down yeah you that's setting up. for a third and short that's setting up. for a third and fourth in short you know. so like whenever you talk about and. obviously being able to win games now. matters I'm not saying it doesn't. because getting into the dance but in. the dance now which we should all start. thinking about it's like does your team. have what it takes to be able to win. whenever it comes down to it I didn't. know that was a Packers efficiency I. guess you guys are seeing that every. week yeah like Lomo said too like it it.

didn't really show up earlier in the. season because they were turning the. ball over so much so it's kind of you. just kind of went with it but like jier. Alexander is kind of a willy won he. every single week uh to play like he's. been on the injury report for the last. like five weeks and uh they're down. another quarterback right now so they're. playing some of their backups and they. just they have it I mean last the Bears. kind of ran it down their throats last. week and it's been like that the last. couple weeks and they haven't been. turning the ball over all right let's. pivot away from go ahead. no they just never stopped Caleb from. running the Rhythm Caleb ran the spacing.

Rhythm passing game last week and the. Packers really never stopped. it Caleb yeah they won though so you. know what a year I know but what a year. yeah God I couldn't even fathom they're. four and two yeah from one uh team that. has already fired a coach you know the. offense coordinator let's go to a team. that has fired their coach offense. coordinator and general manager a tone. has a question for you yeah let's talk. about the dumpster fire that is Floren. Park New Jersey and the uh New York Jets.

um Patrick said it everyone's fired um. so what happens now lombo like does the. new do you think the new GM like do they. meet with Rogers and and Devonte or do. they make that decision on the on their. own and do you do you think they're. going to keep. them well I think the reason all this. happening now is because Woody Johnson. the owner of the Jets his wife and. Melania Trump Trump's wife are best. friends and we know he's going to go. back to becoming an ambassador of some. country I I don't know which one I'm.

trying to get the the ambassador to. Italy but he's. probably you. know I'm not getting I don't think. that's how you get R okay Jo it's a it's. a great house but here so I think what. he wants to do the last time he left. town to become an ambassador his brother. hired Robert Salah and they already had. Joe Douglas I think what he wants to do. is hire the GM he'll probably listen to. the League office he'll get names from. the league office he'll hire the GM and.

then those two will pick the next coach. and I think once they do that then the. decisions down the road do they pick up. the $35 million option on on Aaron. Rogers for next season what do they want. their team to look like and how they're. going to move forward look here's the. reality of the Jets I mean they have not. won over the last 12 years there's a. reason for that whether it's John iick. Mike McKagan you know Joe Douglas it. doesn't matter they they they've all. lost I mean the coaches Adam gase Todd. BS you know Robert Salah you know.

they've not been able to win and there's. a reason for that because the owner is. involved he's involved in everything I. mean the other day he's having a meeting. and you know the best thing about this. is he has a meeting with Salah and. Douglas and he doesn't like what they. say so he adds more people to the. meeting and you know what happens when. you add more people to the meeting you. get leaks they L all of a sudden now we. know he was trying to bench Rogers for. Tyrod Taylor I mean like this is. dysfunction at the highest level and so. when you when you realize they can't win. don't be surprised and don't think.

they're going to hire somebody with a. magic wand because everybody else who's. been in there hasn't been able to turn. the tide either so whenever we say a. team is cursed it could potentially be a. curse but from a person maybe and. whenever you said when you said Woody is. going to want to hire the next GM before. he goes and becomes an ambassador. whatever before you and Chuck both. started pitching get us back to the boot. get us back to the boot you said the. league give him a list of names what. does that mean is that how the process. works yeah what they'll do is they'll.

hire so they hire Jed Hughes who. represents the league he works for some. some search firm I don't understand it. don't ask me why it's complicated you. have to be on that search firm's list. you know it has nothing to do with how. much football you know how do you Market. yourself and then they he'll go to that. list and he'll interview now he can do. it because he's done he has openings and. head coaching and that so he gets ahead. of himself right because if you want to. get the right guy you want to get ahead. of yourself a little bit but he wants. this in place before he's got to go over.

there after you know at a certain point. because the last time he wasn't involved. with the hiring of Salah he let his. brother Christopher do it but this is a. bureaucratic organization there's layers. upon layers in this jet organization and. there's no Supreme Commander at all you. got a lot of people you have to answer. to and it becomes a problem like I think. they're gonna have a hard time. attracting a really serious candidate. really do why would Ben Johnson leave a. great job at Detroit to come into this. dumpster fire and work for a GM that you. don't even know it's really.

problematic Ben Johnson's already. allegedly if we believe all the news. Cycles from the past couple of. offseasons Ben Johnson has already. potentially had a head coaching. opportunity and said nah I am going to. stay with the Detroit Lions yep and I'm. assuming that's going to become a more. common approach especially with these. owners getting more money that are. getting into the NFL which leads us to. like Cliff Kingsbury Josh Harris magic. johnsoning team they literally have cash. out the was they will pay Shawn Payton. potentially ended up with the Broncos. because the Walmart family had more.

money than anybody and they potentially. were like hey not only will we pay you a. [ __ ] ton your assistant coaches that you. want to get in here will pay a [ __ ] ton. if we have success we'll try to keep. them there's a new model happening right. now you know the grass isn't always. greener as a head coach for some of. these coordinators and the amount of. firings I think has kind of showcased. that now there's only 32 of them so. inevitably you should take your spot. whenever you get it but I think some of. these coordinators who have had. opportunities year after year like Aaron. Glenn's name is going to be up you know. sl's name's going to be up even though.

people said his name has been out of the. running in this entire thing I think. there is a chance for the ownership to. be like hey maybe next year right. another year another year we can do this. we'll bump your pay another million. another two million and uh you still. live The Good Life as we try to do. something special which are certainly. doing in no spots let's talk about. ownership in money though because. something close to your heart and. another Italian's heart is certainly. happening go ahead coach yeah so Lomo I. see where Mark Davis sold off another. piece of uh you know his his team his. organization another 15% he's already.

sold 10% to Tom Brady uh as we know. there's a lot of noise coming out of. that place there's a lot of noise now. some different noise coming out of that. locker room as far as um players wanting. to hold assistant coaches head co. whatever accountable uh about. organization uh different things what's. your thoughts on that what's your. thoughts on on Scott Turner what' you. see against the Dolphins what' you see. with Scott what did you see with Norv. you know going in there and trying to. infuse some uh life into this uh this.

Raiders offense and and do you think AP. survives this whole thing who I I I. think it's hard G to be hard for AP to. survive it I think Mark missed his. opportunity he had Jim Harbaugh out. there you know the Jim Harbaugh was a. Raider assistant we hired him in 2001 he. was part of the Raider of Team he was. part of the Raider history and he let. him go because he listened to the. players and he hired Antonio Pierce I. thought last week the Raiders offense. actually looked good I thought Philbin.

did a really good job of improving their. offensive line I thought they got the. ball out of Munch's hands rather quickly. they didn't have the ball very often. because Miami controlled it the defense. has really taking a giant mother mayi. step backwards and they were playing. better at the end of last year and. they're not playing anywhere near as. good this year Miami had their way but. look the problems for the Raiders have. been they listen to the players they. listen to the alumni Mark Davis listens. to he has group of people he listens to. that are not necessarily understand pro. football and what it takes to win and if.

you're in a division playing against. Andy Reed playing against Shawn pton and. playing against Jim Harbaugh you better. bring somebody to the dance that compete. with them on an intellectual strategic. level I'm not sure they have that right. now I don't know where they go but it's. interesting that Mark's selling off. pieces of the team you know and. certainly he should rely on Tom Brady to. help him pick the next coach if he does. make a decision because one thing Brady. does know is what great leadership's all. about okay a lot was said there about. the Raiders obviously you have a lot of.

passion about the Raiders uh I think. Endeavor got seven and a half% of that. yeah good deal you know what that is. that is a good deal. they though the brains at Endeavor okay. TKO group Endeavor I mean there's a lot. of different things they're big ones. they're smart and they are you know I. don't love what happened with Jersey. miks that's a whole another conversation. that's. whole okay uh lombo we only have about a. minute left here what are some of your.

picks we should be thinking about this. weekend as you're swinging a hot bat I. like I like the I like the Ravens to. bounce back I think you get Lamar on. that carpet look I love the hardbar bowl. I think it'll be a really good game I. think both teams but I just think the. Ravens are the better team they played. better defensively last week they needed. to play that I I think certainly that. that to me would be a good play there I. I I don't I think Arizona coming off the. buy they can run the football against. Seattle look I don't love Arizona on. defense but I think if the weather's. good in Seattle and that's a big if you.

got to check on that I think see I think. Arizona is of undervalue Team they're. playing good and I think James Conor has. been one of the best stories Harrison. and Kyler Murray so I like those two. games Kyler said uh basically he didn't. like that he wasn't allowed to play. football last week during the byee love. that yeah they're hot they're playing. well they're playing well Pat they. really are but I think this Baltimore. team this is a must-win for them and I. it's a great it's a great battle between. two but I think Lamar in this situation. is good to play You're the Man ladies. and gentlemen Michael.

Lombard all right that was a great first. hour yeah yeah unbelievable as we wrap. up here thanks to Ram trucks we'll have. another Ram. trucks competition this week is Mount. boom remains Champion hell yeah of the.

[Music]. football one week from Thanksgiving mhm. great wild yeah happy holiday season.

snowing up happy football season Thrive. happy Winter yeah whoa holy hell life is. good the talk to tables here at Boston. Connor and at Tai Schmidt Drake may I. just watched Dan rovski this morning. would have been the number two overall. pick for the draft if he was to go back. instead of the third overall pick yeah. and that's right now just wait till he. puts what he's going to put on field. this weekend he's going to say Drake B. should have been the number one overall. pick that's say that's my orlovski right. there you just got a little pre oh I. didn't know you had an orlovski I told.

you I got these insir I got some of the. people we talk to and that's one of them. Dan orlovski did something with Andrew. Hawkins Hawkins is brilliant love Hawk. Hawk is a great football mind obviously. a great uh pundit and analyst on ESPN. he's Al also a phenomenal entrepreneur. uh I think he has like a Oscar or some. [ __ ] I think for something he created he. is in and then he also has a virtual. reality game yeah that he basically. co-created Darius J Butler is actually.

one of the voices on that particular. game off coordinator it's his voice. that's on it you know so obviously we. got a lot of pride in how that whole. thing and we love getting in the Oculus. and doing our thing haven't been in a. while but you know understand Dan rovski. did something alongside Hawkins uh. virtual reality company and this was. brilliant yeah like this was if this was. live which we are we have been told it. is we've been told this is live uh it. was live phenomenal work by the tech. phenomenal work by orlovski and. obviously Hawk setting the entire thing.

up hosting it it was we Dan rovski takes. it on The Shins rightfully so yeah for a. lot of [ __ ] like a lot of [ __ ] because. he steps into the Batters box for. everything that's wild you're talking. about being the uh designated hitter for. every topic that happens in sports so. they're just throwing him in a batter's. box right then wind him up like he's. [ __ ] Woody or what fromy St and just. send them out there hey we need you to. we need you to we need you to hey why.

don't you why don't you and he just. every time he he I'll do it I mean he he. he's going he's trying to hit home runs. on everything so naturally with his. position he is going to put himself in. spots to look like a like a dumbass and. that H dumbass Dan happens a lot but. whenever he gets into his bag and is. really doing what he is best at which is. breaking down the the film chitchatting. about actual football and decision-. making from a quarterback perspective. from a guy that you know has been in a.

lot of quarterback rooms has seen it. happen up close and personal and a good. communicator it's like this thing I. assume they're going to win some awards. for they should it was phenomenal yeah. and I'm not exactly sure if this if it's. the same exact programming or whatever. but actually earlier on in the year when. Drake May wasn't playing uh mayo and. some of the offensive coaches referenced. uh Drake May getting a lot of reps in. the virtual reality headset I don't know. if this is the same exact one but like. even NFL buildings are using this and to. what you said breaking down the film and.

everything that is why actually when Dan. orlovski talks about Drake may I feel. better about it because I know he is. watching the film and does know what he. talks know what he's talking about when. it comes to that even though he is a. [ __ ] and he does a lot of dumb things. not all the time he. is he heard all this because he did. throw a hissy fit last week when Tai. said his name B Coach T sorry Dan well. once again that's on Dan that is what. Dan was doing so you know I feel like. we're Stern but fair with Dan orov I.

feel like that is how we kind of treat. him but whenever he does stuff like this. it's like must watch hey way to go Dan. way to go this wasn't the fourth or two. the one game this was the third nine. it's set up to get to the fourth and two. the never and now look they're bringing. pressures this what spag does we don't. have enough we got a running back here. okay here's the running back lights them. up see them here's Josh Allen's view. he's going to pick up this guy that's. coming he knows this guy is going to be. free inevitably steps up in problem yeah. that's your problem you got to handle. that dude on the quarterback he was to. be able to talk the way his brain yeah.

like works like unbelievable talk. through all that stuff Point change that. highlight and and not F don't miss a. beat and then know exactly you know. what's happening I don't think he had. one flub with the tech either no yeah. that's what impressive because we assume. to your point about him sometimes being. a [ __ ] dip [ __ ] and we know he has. that iPad that's where he kind of made. his bones on an iPad but in that thing.

he had to go from like highlighter to. like arrows to circles to uh playing it. slowing it down back Dan way you go. buddy that might be the future right. there people were saying he's got a lot. of experience in the you know VR set. without the football what do you think. they what do you mean let's just say. he's a big POV guy what do you mean. talking about pornos is not going to be. happy with you now I don't know if. that's true but that's what people on. the internet were saying I've heard.

about a thousand X NFL quarterbacks come. out and say porn's the devil yeah you're. right isn't that like kind of the thing. yeah I cosign it too every once in a. while I'll just be scrolling through. social media and I'll just learn a lot. about somebody very quickly that I've. known for a long time and boy I guess. the bopping gets to a point where people. just can't they couple punters too yeah. that's Idle Hands always what what Watts. yeah always the Watts it is always the.

wat always the Watts that are seemingly. saying porn to the devil yeah they say. it's like getting on a plane and. thinking you're going to end up in. Houston and then all a sudden you get. off the plane and you're in Washington. and it's like how did I get here what am. I doing yeah and then some people say. look get a camera set up on yourself and. how you look while you're doing it's. like I'm just trying to do social media. right now I'm just trying to view some. photos I learned a lot about you and. what you're doing in there that's a wild. that was that's been a wild development. for social media for me just like maybe.

not people that I've met like personally. but I know of and we have an internet. relationship and I'm scrolling through. and all of a sudden there's a full. dedicated like 1:30 in the afternoon. yeah just a full dedicated. hey stop watching other people have sex. for your own enjoyment it's like holy. [ __ ] okay that's a real movement so. you're saying Dan isn't one of those. guys I'm I'm not saying he's one of. those guys I'm saying to our point about. how well he handled the tech of the VR. people on the internet were saying hey.

is this guy handling the tech this well. because the fact that he's in there all. the time doing some unsavory things I. don't think he's doing that no we don't. think that's the case at all at all br's. br's been around for a long time it's. been in football buildings for a long. time the backup quarterback you remember. how we filmed all the practice even back. backup quarterback that's how they got. their reps was on that so I think he was. a backup for a minute uhhuh maybe I. don't I don't think it was long enough. ago like we had still had VR available. what was that room in the back of the.

indoor training facility was it that was. it the military military come in and put. that thing together and the virtual. reality stuff and you could program that. thing so you could send let's say you. send the secondary and linebackers in. there and you put offensive formation. shifts motions this that and put a call. sheet to. it time in the off season that's awesome. and he's got 50 60 plays and they can. sit in there and program that thing and. they had the bodies the not X's o but. real bodies break a huddle come to line. of scrimmage line up in a 2X two motion.

from 2x two to 3x1 the call would be. sitting there so the linebacker could. sit there secondary be in the back. they'd be in the front just like they. were lined up against this this. offensive formation okay we're playing. under 63 Sky they come out okay two by. two we're playing six they go this way. we're going cover three boom boom go. through all that and get 50 60 70 80. reps in in in no time without any scout. team guys having to mess up the card. without any run time or setup time this. is just getting plugged in and bang it's.

here human erir is in everything when. you talk about just like those minutes. that you save and the Reps that you're. able to get and the wear and tear on. anybody's legs that you can save. brilliant stuff what year they built. that was uh 15 or 16 and then when I. went to Chicago no 2000 20 talking about. Coach so so when I went to Chicago in 19. 2019 and 2020 right that new facility. they built up there there was an meeting. rooms we had an indoor turf like this.

and then this huge wall and so we would. go out there and do defensive. walkthrough and we put on the program. all the formation shifts motions and all. the calls so we'd be standing there make. a call they'd look at the wall bodies. would be up on the wall 2 by two 3x one. Bunch Stacks all different Personnel. groups 12 Personnel 11 personnel and. we'd get through [ __ ] ton of calls just. to your point like you didn't have to. reh huddle show a card break a scout.

team out you still did that outside some. but you could get done so much more yeah. and I I think whenever we went out to. Stanford uh for a Thursday night. football game they actually had headset. virtual reality not nowhere near how. good that was there but like a practice. from the camera that you were talking. about and basically just showing the. quarterbacks were using it just to show. what the looks could be and then they. would fire through and then I think they. were even answering questions like a. quiz so I think there was even like a. quiz where you going with the ball with.

this where you going with this while you. put it through technolog is wild it's. only making the sport better speaking of. making the sport better ladies and. gentlemen from an adakin Ohio a college. football national champion a Super Bowl. champion a Rudder Cup winner and the. all-time leading tackler for the Green. Bay Packers AJ. Hall AJ do you guys have any virtual. reality or Tech stuff like that yeah. what Chuck was talking about in Chicago. they put that in Green Bay uh it was the. same thing like a a small indoor. walkthrough kind of facility with Turf. and they had the big wall and we do the.

same thing defensive walkthroughs you. can put it up there motion shift. everything it was it's pretty sweet I. can't even imagine I bet now it's it's. way better than it was because a whole. entire defense can plug in yeah right a. whole entire defense can plug in with. the price of these things and how uh. available they are and you can still go. through all your Communications too if. you want to sitting down in a meeting. room they people can be getting rehab. they can be getting literally ice and. everything like that while going through. and the mental reps are the thing that. you're trying to get the most that's why. some teams are a more walkthrough team.

you could do walkr and meetings. seemingly in one place I didn't even. think about that that's a whole new ball. game next level is a whole new you. remember how we had to the beanies and. we had the color beanies and blue were. tight ends red were uh wide receivers. green was the tail back uh yellow was. the fullback so so all those colors were. designated up on there so once they saw. them guys could actually line up and. know okay where's the where's the. passing strength so the nickel knew okay. passing strength's over here this where.

I go so p uh practice squad guys messing. up the formation of the card awesome oh. just like so expected but so mad every. time it happened K it was literally on. the run it again defensive end you're. playing Wide Receiver right now okay we. need you to go so it had a b in on it. right for the wide wide out B BN bottom. of the numbers right yep and he lines up. TN top of the numbers okay bottom of the.

numbers is towards the side okay that's. outside if you look at the [ __ ]. number okay top of the number is closest. towards the. hash yeah can we not read a card yeah. that is so I played quarterback for the. first regime second regime didn't let me. do anything didn't let me do anything. they told me to go work on actual. punting and kicking that'd be cool. worked out just for just just so we have. it all just so we have an understanding. here you know and even throw into the. DBS used to do that uhuh Chuck comes.

over excuse me my game now he did and he. could spin it so you know hey why don't. you go work on punting in that whole. thing but whenever I used to play. quarterback against the uh like the. linebackers in in the second half or. whatever it's like reading the card and. then going in and then knowing that a. guy just ran the wrong route just being. like yep that a and then defensive coach. one of them whether it's a linebacker. coach isn't getting the right look or if. it's the secondary coach isn't getting. the right look they're the most pissed. the quickest because they are looking.

for this exact thing to Happ like hey we. need this this exact play has to happen. some guy who's been on the team for four. days not going to make it to five days. just ran the wrong way he's cut that. guy's not even I never see that guy. again never see him again so I hang out. at be at Boise State on Tuesdays watch. practice and stuff college ball because. it's all no huddle it's all tempo right. so they've got like three groups of. scout teams they've got five different. card coaches and they all have the same.

book and they're showing in the line got. a w a wide guy with wide outs on this. side a guy with wide outs a guy with the. backs they're it's unbelievable how. organized how you get a good look well. you do virtual reality yeah that's L I. think that's the best way to get a good. look for them guys to see that though at. that pace they're running 100 plays in. in college ball okay so Jon Jones uh. conversation will be moved I think to. tomorrow something came up the schedule. I have no idea what it is from our. understanding it was just a scheduling. thing that happens we'll talk to Jon.

Jones tomorrow uh John can't wait to. chat with you tomorrow whenever it is. hey I can't wait to ask him he's too. he's too good he's too good I can't wait. to ask him about that can't wait just. ask about it hey at what age did you. just start like how about that one. that'll. work how about that one you know Larry. Bird chose that one night uh just play. left-handed yeah yeah yeah like 50 I. think J Jones should commit to a fight. where he says you know what no fists. just elbows the entire fight I'm not.

even going to use my hands and just I I. mean he's probably too far along in his. career now the people he's going to. fight are going to be way too good I. can't wait to talk about what's next for. him is it Pereira is Aspen is it. retirement and the whole thing I guess. that coners conversation will come. tomorrow or another day we cannot wait. for that let's start talking about this. game this evening a little bit AJ Hawk. AJ uh Steelers brownies AFC North battle. and uh whenever you think of this you. think hard knows football you think. tough football obviously there's the TJ. watt miles Garrett storyline miles.

Garrett wins defense player of the year. and in his eyes he didn't appreciate how. te acted te uh tees him an apology now. once again I do believe that was not a. serious statement he was just saying it. in a uh in a comment when you read it it. can be definitely different than. whenever you hear it but this one feels. like it's going to be a slobber knocker. as good old Jr used to say AJ what are. your thoughts on what the style of game. be tonight yeah so if I'm not mistaken. Lomo said this is the coldest NFL game. jamus will have played in is that.

correct yes and we have not double check. that no but we assume that lombo is. accurate in that particular stat I mean. either way it's not like it's negative. 20 tonight though it's going to be okay. it's not going to be terrible I don't. think what's it going to be well no. wouldn't and we've always talked about. this wouldn't you rather have it be -20. versus like 35 in Rain personally yeah. personally rain is the the worst part. rain cold rain is by far the worst cold. rain is is tough cold snow I love I. actually feel like cold with snow feels.

warmer it does it does absolutely I I. feel like that is and I don't know if. it's just cuz optically you're like oh. this this is really cool or why it feels. that way just bitter chilly windy cold. my God bad nightmare I think rain cold. the. worst bitter windy cold second then I. think uh winter snow cold definitely the. best of the options and if it's rain and.

it's Cleveland it's going to be windy so. this is rain wind cold which is. combination of all of it worst cold the. top all the lake everything off mistake. on the lake I mean. it's years that's his opinion on. Cleveland and tones and nicks in the. back and my family's from Pittsburgh. that wind is going to be whipping off. that Lake and cold bad you know how bad. it hurts like when you get a finger. caught between two helmets when you're. trying to tackle somebody oh every hit.

and they're going to find out early you. know like this is a game and obviously. chub's back but this is a game where n. with his size and with how he's been. able to run and Arthur Smith obviously. we know his style of play calling what. he's been for the Steelers what he was. for the Titans way back whenever he had. Derek it's like there's a chance NJ has. a night tonight where he really cements. himself as one of the top backs in the. league that would be awesome against. this Cleveland rushing defense which. hasn't been great and you know it was a. it was tasm Hill was not exactly a. running back but he went off last week.

but no n had 300 consecu 100 yard games. in the middle of the season um he hasn't. the last two games so no it'd be nice if. he got back to that and we just you know. ran the ran the ball 45 times and got. out of there tonight and called it a day. yeah turnovers turnovers are going to be. key right in weather games right pits. plus 11 which is number two in the. National Football League un Cleveland's. minus five Pittsburgh Pittsburgh excuse. me the UN I got you yeah my. bad hey it's okay you're not the only. one Pittsburgh is plus 11 which is.

really really good Cleveland's minus. five turnover margin on the season ah. are those fumbles are those picks what. are they you know I I think I don't know. if jamus is going to be given a lot of. opportunities to throw picks tonight. doesn't feel like any team is going to. be providing a lot of opportunities to. throw picks well you never know stansky. threw it 50 times in that uh one game. against Steelers yeah but there was a. little bit of a uh there was some two. time coach of the year you know toman's. never won coach of the year that's crazy. that's not real heard that this morning.

he's the favorite right now never won it. stefany's got. two Riddle Me That who votes on the. coach of the year yeah Tony what the. hell you been doing first year I don't. want to tell you it was you those are. your people those are those are your. peers not before this year speaking of. your peers that do the Mike tomlin's. never won coach that's crazy that feels. not even once no losing seasons ever. that might be why I think we're all. thinking what you're. thinking I don't want I don't want to.

you know that feels maybe this is you. what's happening uh I don't like that. one bit that is kind of fishy that is. isn't it little bit a little little. fishy there I don't like that hey I. don't have a vote but I would like to. cast my vote right now yeah for. reparations for what has happened amen. over the last 18 years of this entire. coaching run for tomman I like to vote. him Coach of the Year cuz he should.

certainly have at least one piece of. Hardware in that desk in that office in. his entire thing sounds like people are. voting for him and his ballots may be. going. missing missing in the mail or I know. hey never showed up some extra ballots. you're saying he's on my list I got what. I missed the whole season yeah this. guy Miss. every once again that's that's exactly. what we're talking about uh Hey so we. got AP tones uh 10 coaches up here okay.

one third of the league one third of the. league is up there who you going to take. out are these in specific order here. like coach Tom's up there on the top. left in one position he is the favorite. so I don't know if if if uh dbone did it. by favorite or however he did it or. whatever um but no I mean obviously this. this list started with 32 at the. beginning of the year and and each week. they have Whitt they have Whitted down. and now this is 10 each week you know I. could probably drop one out after this. week we'll see we'll see I don't know. who you going to take out though they've. all been great okay so you're not going.

to take out coach Tomlin well what coach. wait do. find I'm not going to but it sounds like. Tomlin might as well not even be on the. ballot cuz he can't. win that's un [ __ ] believable yeah it. is I that's just one of those ones you. just assume yeah oh got three of them. and you can't do that I guess in in this. world that we live in could take ger out. there'll be nine left he'll love that MC. dament yeah okay all right uh is this. awarded before the Super Bowl is this.

awarded before everything's done yeah. when do you put your vote in uh right. after the the Wednesday after week 18. okay the Wednesday after week 18 so it's. a full season playoff how you operate. and perform there doesn't matter which. makes no sense May Awards night is the. Thursday before the Super Bowl yeah you. just give it to the Super Bowl winning. coach you would think a lot of times. sure yeah hey who's the best. coach I mean as Bill bich never won it. cuz I if I bill bich is never if I. remember I I know at least in the last. like 15 Bill's only won executive of the.

year I don't know if he's won the coach. Bill's won it three times yeah the last. 15 is what it was okay 2010 Super Bowl. okay. yeah well coach trlin I'll tell you. what you should have been had one yeah. and uh we hope that happens amen hang in. hey keep coaching maybe one day coach it. is a tough field though Riverbats got. too Ron Hey shout out shout out to. Carolina Panthers actually QC por house.

uh it's Carolina Panther Sports Bar down. there in Charlotte and uh maybe one of. their coaches frequents that Watering. Hole sure and sent them a bunch of merch. up here and said if you wantan. to they love it maybe and uh can't wait. to stop by this place down in Charlotte. great logo Sun footprint obviously there. sweet great sweatshirt fits well not. crop good crew neck not crop yeah feels. pretty good in there so shout out to uh.

Riverboat roll getting a big win for the. Panthers Tomlin has no shot no he's not. winning that is insane that's a. mindblower I can't believe that's the. case well there's some things that need. to change obviously in the uh NFL and. there's only one person we want to ask. to do that ladies and gentlemen it's. time for a new segment called. commissioner. CH that's right yesterday obviously we. had a question on the hash ask J that. said uh JJ let's say you were the. commissioner for one day what was the. first thing you would do well that.

carried over into a conversation today. because coach Chuck Pagano came in and. say you know there's something they need. to change a little bit there's something. they need to extend there's something. that has gotten better but needs to get. better ladies and gentlemen it's time. for commissioner Chuck to uh plead his. case I think we're headed that direction. I think so as far as getting better know. year year ago year ago this time the. competition committee got together and. and uh ruled in favor of this replay. assist which we're all seeing yeah you. know in real time every Sunday Monday.

Thursday whatever um these guys official. are getting together flags on the ground. and offishal are getting together and. all of a sudden Flags picked up hey. replay assist is no bueno you know it. wasn't it wasn't a hit to the headand. neck area speaking of hits to head and. neck area we've got three plays Pat yep. that we that we wanted to take a look at. and this was huge this was uh you know. early in this Minnesota at. Tennessee and this got a lot of. attention so just in real time like in.

real time how many flags got thrown in. there right three all three of like boom. boom boom everybody cuz it looks like a. unnecessary rough roughness hit to the. head and neck area uh of this. defenseless Receiver right but when you. slow this thing down all right and the. league talks about all these plays you. slow this thing down the Defenders are. are doing a great great job of using the. shoulder taking the head out of the play. which we want and tackling in hits like. this lowering the Target and you could.

see that the result of it looks like he. got hit in the head and neck but he. didn't just a ram truck yeah that's just. a ram truck didn't even jump like he. stayed on the ground too he didn't jump. up and hit his head cuz that's a big. that's a great Point man when you launch. and you leave your your feet that's one. of the things one play from and this led. to coach Callahan he got Sportsman like. too another 15 yards add insult to. injury cuz he was livid cuz we're all. looking at the video boards and we're.

watching it going he didn't hit him in. the head he didn't use his helmet he. didn't hit him in the head and neck that. was a shoulder to the midsection okay so. you look at Denver in. Atlanta and it's a bang bang play right. and it looks like this guy's cage got. rattled and got a forearm to the back of. the head but when you slow this one down. he lowers his Target and it's all. shoulder perfect h just because in the. video and the and the uh the guys on The. Telecast they're talking about hey he. brought the flipper through that's why.

they called you can't bring a flipper. through well that's not a that's just a. byproduct of a guy putting his shoulder. in there yeah and he's not using a. flipper to hurt this guy and then the. last one was the Dallas uh you know. cowboys and Texans and it's kind of a. bang bang play again right oh and you. good hit that's that's Ram truck yeah. it's a great hit but you watch Petri. right both those guys at shoulder. keeping the head out of it lowering the. target area and delivering a blow this.

is this is what they want they want the. head out of it they don't want hits to. the head and neck but we still want big. hits but we want big hits those flags. couldn't absolutely we want. them but it's bang bang play and you. can't so they need help so the thing. right now is replay assist you get a hit. to the headand neck area of a passer a. guy in the pocket a quarterback in the. pocket and flags thrown they can get. involved that's one of the components of. that illegal man downfield that's one of.

those hits out of bounds that's one of. those things so what they're going to do. after you know three of these happen on. on the same you know weekend of of pro. football they're going to probably go. look at this and say hey look just like. college reviews targeting all the time. and they come back say yes it was no it. wasn't pick the flag up kid gets to stay. in the game and keep playing hopefully. competition committee gets back together. uh this spring at the owner's meetings. and makes decision hey let's add hits to. the headand neck area down the field.

outside the pocket add receivers. defenseless receivers is this so we can. fix these big penalties 15 yards that's. good work. commissioner commiss that's a good pitch. there I think it should be on. everything no matter what everything why. wouldn't it already be in the why. wouldn't it already be there though and. why is it on everything college does. it there's you know there's so. subjective. on these things you know and and they're. trying to as hard as it is for these. officials to officiate the game and.

follow the rule book and in real time um. it makes all the sense in the world. again timing a game they don't want to. slow down the they don't want to slow. down the game to a certain point where. you know we're throwing a flag on. everything or we can challenge. everything belich talked to you guys. about it every owner's meeting I ever. went to he's like hey give everybody two. challenge let us challenge anything and. everything but they don't want to take. that out of the officials hands they. don't want to make you know cuz a lot of. these calls AJ are subjective and. they're not all objective so there's a. lot of interpretation I think these.

aren't I don't think these are. subjective they're not subjective like. there's a clear way on how they're. teaching you to tackle and keep your. head out of it not launch all that so. that's it's not like Pi where you can. say ah you know his hand was down around. the hip or you maybe better way the bang. bang plays that need to be able to yeah. they need help because in real time. these look nasty but they're actually. commissioner Chuck we appreciate the. fact that you um see how hard of a role. cleat and the boys have and the ladies. that are NFL refs which is why we think.

this replay assist is brilliant just let. it be for everything yeah just have it. be a full-time thing literally. everything what are the subjective calls. out there now at this point because. they're trying to take the subjectivity. out of the calls completely right. because we don't want uh different calls. in the fourth quarter holding there's. that's the one call Big Time you can't. like when you if you go cuz it's like CU. everything's always like once you once. you open up Pandora's Box and you start. adding this you start adding that then. it's like okay so.

they're they they're really reluctant to. like pass interference like this because. they're tugging so hard right so hard so. once you open up Pandora's Box we say. now you got to go well we got to add. this then we got to add that then you're. at that point where okay everything is. going to be replay assist or everything. can be challenged and they don't want. that well I understand like the holding. for offensive line and if AQ was here. he'd be saying we we don't need to be. slowing down and zooming in on if every. play is offense are holding or not and I.

think Corners would say the same same. thing because that's a part of being a. good corner is being able to get away. with you know a little hold little grab. whenever you know where the ref is. looking where the ref isn't looking so. if you were to get a all 22 view of that. and that's in there that would certainly. change that but there has to be some. sort of sentiment for if it's egregious. like if you're egregiously wrong like. there should be a way for the replay. assist just be like for the good of all. of us including the sport in which we. ref pick that flag up like you know like.

there is and they're going to come at. times and games that are going to cost. Thursday Night Football three weeks ago. yeah cost one loss cost you a you know. you're should be the seventh seed but. now you're at the eighth seed you know. what was that Vikings Rams yeah yeah y. Vikings Rams the face mask thing darnold. dead see it's over that was like that. was a very clear very obvious very. important part of the game it's like if. we have somebody up there already. watching and they have access to get to.

the ref's ears they should be able to go. nah n no that was obviously hands that. was a face Mas that's 15 yards go the. other way as opposed to game over for. the Vikings I think that's why they're. willing to like open this thing up to. these that are so obvious like. especially because they don't have like. we're sitting at home watching on these. big screens and all the technology we. have now we're like that's aaz. got big screens. all that's that's a Miss how how can we. miss that but in real time two eyes I.

mean it's really really hard which is. why we replay assist is great and it has. been a great development and a great. addition to you know the sport let's. just let's if that person has direct. access already to an ear exactly and if. every single call they're going to kind. of anyways have to talk about it those. egregious ones I think they should fix. personally I think they should don't you. think AJ don't you think they should be. given a green line I yeah I I assumed. honestly that they had more freedom than. they actually do right now like I really. I assume if they're there yeah like some.

of the I don't know yeah it seems like. common sense but I know there's a lot. more to it I don't know do they not. trust some of the replay assist people. to make a decision that quickly do they. feel like you have to look at it more. again that's got that's got nothing to. do with it you know whether they trust. that guy or not it's just like opening. up Pandora's Box how much slowing the. game down. the that is what I I don't like I if. they got to stop and look like if that's. if it's if it's an easy one yes that's. what I'm saying like those are easy all.

the ones that they've done this year. though like when they have picked up a. flag it's been almost instantaneous like. they're not going and looking at. anything so like it's it's like that's a. cop out it's like well you know everyone. [ __ ] when we do this because it slows. the games down like the replay assist. stuff has not slowed the game down you. got to remember like these things are. only going to get involved too if. there's a flag on the ground if those. hits happen there's no flag on the. ground there's no replay assist it's not. like the the other side of the ball go. hey that was a hit to the head so they. can't say hey you guys missed something. big there and then they just take it FL.

out drop it got to be a flag on the. ground oh so like so like they can't. like if there's a clear and obvious face. mask and no flag is thrown which is. could they could that happened the other. you know three the one you're talking. about right they can't go that way they. can't say Hey you blew it yeah and so. hey that's a face you guys missed that. throw a flag and the guy sitting there. ha okay put a bag on do no that's not. happening well cuz I guess that could. lead to two situations oh can you. imagine uh hey um yeah drop a flag we.

like yeah that close yeah especially in. a big moment that potentially swings a. gambler and all of this is the reason. why it's all so heightened when it. hasn't been in the past and not that. people haven't cared in the past but. there's no replacement refs happen in. this era no with the amount of money. that's being gambled on every single. game can't happen so whenever there's. like things that are egregious that are. taking place that are swinging Millions. millions of actual dollars it's hard not. to get into the script talk whenever. it's like the ref who's supposed to be.

the representative of not only the. league but the sport as a whole is the. reason why it goes there like that's why. the replay assists I think is so. valuable in this current ERA it do they. not let them turn on the mic like they. they're like not allowed to chitchat. with the refs if there's no flag down or. if it's not something that they're. allowed to talk they're not even allowed. to turn on the microphone got it so no. they have they have the the set of rules. right now what replay assist can can get. involved with right in front of them.

right in yeah everybody knows what that. is yeah so like for the holding ones. like I get offensive lineman there's. holding on every play you don't want to. be replaying assisting that but couldn't. they just say like hey penalties of 15. yards or more so like then at least it. involves like a pass interference that's. 40 yards down the field and then you're. not nitpicking like oh well this guy was. this close to or this much off sides he. Ed the snap up and they didn't call it. but we need to review that so couldn't. they just make that type of stipulation. cuz like a 5 10 yard penalty of course. it's yards it hurts but like that's so.

much different than a 15 yard penalty. like you were saying or a 30 yard Pi or. a Kyle pittz end of the game against the. Chiefs CU that was like the first. blunder that the refs had was when Kyle. Pitts fourth down against the Falcons. and the Chiefs you know everyone. saying you said he got held no he got. face it was a face guard yeahh and the. and the guy didn't turn the ball yeah. clear clear all fiveo game no as long as. there's no flag thr there's no flag on.

the. field that's never going to happen so. they're going to be able to come in and. say commissioner us is saying. commissioner Chu commissioner Chuck is. saying hey here's reality that's. commissioner Chuck just said we need to. add this to the stipulations. commissioner us right I think we we're. saying if it's common sense and it's. obvious replay assist should be able to. yeah assist in the entire thing or even. like inside two minutes like couldn't. there be some sort of obviously you. can't challenge a play inside two. minutes couldn't there be like a head.

inside two minutes we can replay assist. the [ __ ] out of this so that there isn't. a situation where we screw this game up. with the entire game on the line I don't. ever think they're going to take it out. of their officials hands to that point. you know and again I can't I can't. reiterate enough having the opportunity. to do what I did in 18 the year I set. out with the officials like we all got. great respect for how J how hard that. job is but even more so now working with. those guys hand in hand for a year my. God is it hard which is why we and they.

bust their they do a great job they bust. their asses we think they should be. fulltime yep and we think they should. get the assist of technology in 8k for. everything so that they're not getting. their asses booed out we can't get Camas. every every angle yet what's that AJ. don't they don't you think refs want. they want the replay assist they I I. know the couple refs I've asked in in. games they said we just want to get the. call right whether they're lying or not. like whether they have to pick their. flag up or not like they just want it. the right call what was that game we. were at earlier this year the lighthouse.

we saw ref get his penalty overturned it. was the uh Steeler Steelers Colt it was. so it was a Steelers game in the end. zone yeah this dude picks up his flag it. gets. [Music]. overturned really yeah for the next. probably 45 seconds just standing over. there on sideline just not happy well. noty they get graded yeah you guys know. that right and it cost some playoff. games it cost some Super Bowls it cost.

some all those guys they don't have to. answer any questions ever about their. grades which is another big part of the. problem I think they'll eventually come. around to be more. transparent you know and be a no they. won't I know it's always been a big. gripe hey as a head coach you got to. stand before firing squad yes and just. you know explain why you did what you. did why'd you give the goahead on a fake. certain certain. it's a great question scratching my head. I'm asking myself I'll be asking myself. that for as long until I'm put six feet.

under it'll still probably come back to. haunt me that's a good question uh. that's a great question there's no next. question hey I got a question about that. one so what was the oh that's a it was. never supposed to get snapped You See It. was supposed to be a full start if there. anything or too many men on the field. then we're just pun it back up but you. would never understand it because we. snapped it with 14 people over top of. the yeah so and then turn the game yeah. we get it yeah yeah next question and I. got up he was hurt so we had the back. [Laughter]. long why why did we even talk about it.

why why you had a guy from Stanford you. see normally Stanford people are super. intelligent which this guy certainly is. he's done everything for us he's been a. jack of all trade so we put him in a. position probably shouldn't have done. that I guess now hindsight's 2020 you do. the whole thing next question I screwed. so you put somebody you put somebody. that hasn't been in practice. in once again he want Stanford he is. done I think we should move on EX these. refs these refs if they do you know they. do the pool reporters and then it's. typed out we never get video of it it's. never really there's never any real.

follow up it's just here's our answer. take it and then we're gone it's a ton. of words on one sheet of paper just the. most it's the most old school boring. media that there is is those refs in the. pool reporters CU nobody knows where it. happens how it happens we just see this. [ __ ] getting typed up or whatever why. just be paliso it might be I think he'd. say this yeah it might not even be the. ref to give an an we still have no idea. but we think that the technology should. help them and we think that they should. have to answer some questions to J's.

point we think they should be full-time. we think they should be a team and we. think we should uh hold this ref team. they should be a team in themselves 33rd. team who is it the refs they should be. held in very high regard shout out to. you commissioner. chuck chuck Now ladies and Gentlemen. let's go from the state of the NFL to. the world of the NBA I believe there's. going to be some news uh that is broke. in a matter of moments joining us now. senior NBA Insider for ESPN the ever.

handsome sham. chironia what what what I need is Pat. McAfee arms is what I need I'm I'm. getting in the gym baby okay you saw it. you saw it thank you for following along. yes uh Ryan Clark uh said on Monday. night I believe when he was talking. about denil hunter's uh fit which was a. gold jacket he said have you ever seen. the way denil Hunter is built which is. very valid he said if I was built like. him I would only wear tank tops I'd be.

Pat maae but with actually muscular arms. and I was listening watching at home I'm. like what the wait danal Hunter. definitely absolutely jacked no doubt. but I think I have some muscular I've. been I've been getting on so I just let. Ryan Clark know that he was the. inspiration to me getting after it. yesterday morning and he will continue. to be going forward can always get. better I app appreciate you doing that. RC just stacking it up you know what I. mean seam just stacking them up over. here I I I don't know if I'm at your. guys level but next time I'm in in the.

Thunderdome I might be inspired now to. really get in the gym and then I I'll. I'll I'll be I'll be in a white feeder. when I'm when I'm there or tank don't. wear one of those don't ever be one of. those je Lise I don't know what you're. doing in the Thunderdome you you. showcase your phenomenal jams can. actually. shootan jams can actually shoot in a. sport like button down come on now come. on in a suit in a suit okay it was full. suit all right I think you took the. jacket off but neither here nor there.

you can get after it in the hawk house. come out make some jumpers and we'd be. lucky to chitchat with you about the NBA. I think you said there was some news. potentially about this allstar game now. we learned yesterday I believe on the. Internet or maybe a few days ago that. the NBA All-Star game is going to go the. route of like the NHL there's going to. be like four teams this year as opposed. to two teams is that accurate and what. else do we know at this point CHS it. it's a massive change pad they're. changing the All-Star game from. obviously East West and then it was. let's let's do drafts and draft teams.

and captains it's going to be a four. team tournament for the All-Star Game. this year in the Bay Area 2025 so it's. going to be three all-star teams eight. players each 24 total Allstars eight. players each and then one team will be. comprised of the Rising Stars winner. that's a game against the rookies and. sophomores comprise mostly of those. players some G Leaguers as well on. Friday night the winner of that goes. into Sunday three all-star teams one. Rising Stars team and they're going to. play two semi-final games up to 40.

points and then the two winners advance. to the championship game up to 25 points. from what I'm told so that's basically a. quick burst it's like street ball it's. like a pickup game it's like you go to. the gym and you're playing pickup. basketball you win you stay on you lose. you you you're obviously done single. elimination and it's quick there's not. that time we saw last year in the. All-Star game I mean th this was by all. I think players said it embarrassing I. mean Adam Silver publicly.

privately there were a lot of people. disappointed in in last year's All-Star. Game in your guys home City but the. difference this year is I'm told Stephen. Curry other All-Star players they had a. voice like they were involved they had. an input in this process they had an. input in this tournament that's going to. take place um and now there's not going. to be that unnecessary time right when. in the third and fourth quarter when. LeBron James doesn't play or when. players don't care or maybe don't care. you're not going to have that anymore. it's a quick burst get right to it uh.

and and I I do think we're going to see. players motivated for it this uh is. there like a financial you might have. sat there and I didn't hear you is there. uh what's the financial reward here. because I think that's the easiest way. to make anybody try ever like the NBA. cup 500,000 bucks or 250,000 bucks. everybody on the bench just that. Financial reward seemingly made. everybody heighten their uh intens for. it for this is there are they going to. do that or how's that kind of plan on. working out I'm I'm not quite sure yet. on the prize money component of it but I.

mean you're right that that's what has. led you know NBA cup now I I will be. honest some of the some of the salaries. in the NBA right now I don't know how. many players are fully motivated by just. the salary when it comes to NBA cup I. think coaches are very motivated by the. NBA cup prize money um but I do think. anytime you add money into the equation. um guys will have an increased level of. motivation and I I think the league the. the nbpa the players I think they're all. trying to figure out exactly what what.

the prize aspect looks get a sponsor in. there make real money on that thing. because then you'll get those teams. actually trying and if it's just quick. burst single elimination you know you. can go on a little bit of a run it's not. too taxing on the body either hey Nick. when the NHL did this multiple team. thing did it make the NHL experience. better I don't remember I think so right. absolutely it was a big hit right away. because it was so different it was fresh. it was they they went through a three. three multiple team tournament format. and it just speeded everything up it was. it was fresh new exciting and it got a. lot of eyes on it and I think you can. get exposed if you're not trying like.

there's going to be some teams that are. going to try like naturally going to try. so then you get kind of exposed quickly. and then you're kind of out like we. don't even need to really deal with you. I think this is a good idea by the NBA. because they're Allstar gam and you got. the rising stars like imagine losing the. rising stars right they're the team of. first and second year players and you're. going to lose to them as an All-Star. team that's you you don't you don't want. to be the team the All-Star team full of. eight Allstar losing to the rising stars. but I do think the fact that this is. quick it's right to it it's like a. pickup game I I do think that's going to.

bring some added incentive to to have a. level of competition this Chang anything. else any time you add single elimination. it'll be like that yeah absolutely if um. you know some teams are just going to. want to lose we watched that last year. whenever we were at some of the skills. challenges there was clearly a couple. teams that did not want to win but with. the skill challenges is this going to. help the whole weekend Connor has a. question for you yeah seams when we're. thinking about the three-point contest. the D contest the stuff that used to be. so great you know back in the day are. there going to be stars that do that. type of stuff and then at the.

Three-Point Contest is there a chance we. see like a Caitlyn Clark appearance like. we did with Sabrina last. year yeah I I mean I I think Stephen. Curry Sabrina junesu I that was the. highlight I was there at allar weekend. that was the highlight to me I think to. a lot of people watching allar weekend. was that shootout that took place. between those two I'm told the plans are. there for them to bring that event back. with them as obviously the the two. people returning but they're they are. working actively Stephen Curry sa UNESCO.

I think they're doing some recruiting. right now to bring in from the NBA side. a guy like Klay Thompson we know about. him he's the other Splash Brother played. in the Bay Area so you bring him into. the mix and then Caitlyn Clark is the. player that the that the league gonna. cost you know the participants here are. are involved in and and trying to. recruit her into this so imagine that. you have Stephen Curry Klay Thompson on. the NBA side then you get Sabrina uncu. Caitlyn Clark on the WNBA side uh.

there's definitely efforts being made to. to make this happen uh I think we'll see. this event the question is who exactly. will be in it um and and that's all. going to be a work in progress but that. was the highlight of the weekend and so. if you can make it a two on two or let's. say you do one part of the event on. Saturday night you leave the other part. of the event Sunday night like imagine. having like clay and versus Caitlyn. Clark for Stephen Curry against Caitlyn. Clark on one of those other nights like. that could add some extra excitement as. well yeah getting Caitlyn there would. certainly be a boost for the NBA no.

doubt Caitlyn anywhere it's big time. boost she will not be doing that three. on three League no she will not remember. we talked to um beast2 yes Beast do. whenever this league was announced and I. said uh do you have Caitlyn is Caitlyn. Clark a part of this we uh we have a lot. of names involved obviously we're going. to try and then allegedly they made a. big push to get Caitlyn and I guess. Caitlyn said uh I'm going to pass on. that whole thing now I'm worried about. the leag yeah uhoh should be now I am. now I'm a little bit wor not that they. won't be able to hold their own 303. basketball obviously has done great. we've seen there's some big players in.

that League there's some big players in. like Asia Wilson's in that League uh jul. Lloyd's in that League like there's some. some big big WNBA is a go obviously St. like nafisa Kier there's a bunch of. Allstar that playoff continued too after. the fever stopped playing it did it. didn't it sell it did it did it. continued afterwards AJ has a question. for you about the NBA Shams uh what's. the latest with Luca I hear rumors about. him going around good stuff yeah LCA.

donic he's he's out tomorrow they have. that big game against Denver on ESPN he. is out for that game he's gonna be out. at least a week he's got a right wrist. strain from what I'm told what's going. to happen here is they're going to. immobilize his wrist over the next few. days and then starting you know latter. part of the weekend early next week he's. going to have to strengthen that rist so. could be weak could be more potentially. he is a quick healer he he does try to. push through injuries sometimes but this.

is a situation now the Mavericks are. gonna have to deal with injury wise. they've been beat up lately so not good. stuff from that AJ been hearing I read. the wrong stuff Shams that's my bad yeah. and AJ I like that you have a completely. optimistic stuff that you read but that. obviously not good stuff and then we. hear there's also some Chris Middleton. stuff happening around the NBA right. now yeah M I reported yesterday on NBA. Countdown uh he has been medically clear. to play uh he has not played yet this.

season he has he had bilateral ankle. surgery uh in the off season and he's. trying to get back out on the court for. him it's he physically doesn't feel. ready so you know as an athlete you have. two you guys play like you have two. different sides you have the medical. side medically he's cleared physically. he's done three on three he's been. trying to ramp up for the last month he. just does not feel there they need him. bad he wants to when he wants to come. back on the court he wants to be Chris. Middleton he doesn't just want to be a. shell of himself but this's the team.

that obviously needs him back in the. lineup I'm curious from your guys. perspective like let's say the doctor. says you're medically clear and if you. don't feel right like what's the push. and pull there so if you're medically. cleared in the football World normally. you're just going to go like that is. kind of how it goes in the NBA though. with how long their season is you know. how much it is I can understand why some. of the guys are very much like uh uh let. me get a little bit healthier here. before we start this journey but that's. be who you can afford to be you know I. assume in basketball there's also a lot.

of guys on those teams that can't just. be like nah actually I'm not going to. play No and then they're like okay well. that's not the case be who you can. afford to be Chris Middleton has. obviously earned that speaking of this. similar type situation Ty has a question. for you Shams yeah Shams you came on the. show the other day and broke the news. about the big team meeting with the. Sixers and then Joel uh MB said. yesterday like hey whoever that was a. piece of [ __ ] so I'm curious you don't. have to out your Source obviously but. are you worried that like Joel embiid. might have the beam set on you he might. want to beat your ass now oh I mean I'm.

just I'm literally literally I'm just. literally doing my job that's literally. I don't think he cares I he hates your. job wor about Joe don't give a. [ __ ] he's American now okay I I I do. think I do think there's a level of. respect on both sides U but I I would. say that in every situation there are. dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens.

of people with knowledge of anything and. I I literally every day just want to do. my job do you hate though that whenever. you get this piece of information you. immediately know that this team's. culture is cro like obviously the. Insiders and whenever they leak. information that is a good tell for us. who have ever been a part of a team like. ah they have a loose they have somebody. over there that is loose now in the. world that we're in there's somebody. that's going to let something out. seemingly everywhere but like the great. teams don't have this type of [ __ ]. happen let alone in the meetings but.

then have it get leaked as soon as you. get that information you immediately. know like I should not know this and. also this is not great news do you have. that thought or. no I I mean you you you I guess you. think about it a little bit but honestly. like when I when I heard after the game. the Sixers lost in Miami on Monday night. Nick nures it takes him an hour and a. half to address the media and he. announces that the team had a team. meeting the first thing that comes to my. mind is what happened in that meeting. like I want to go dig up what happened.

in that meeting now what I Dig Dug up. might not even it might be nothing. nothing was said we sat and looked at. each other for an hour and a half that. could be it and then there's nothing to. talk about but there was some substance. and this it's been a tough year for. Philadelphia right when you think about. it a lot of injuries we know Joel embiid. his shape there's a lot made there they. need to get healthy first and foremost. they need to build chemistry on the. court and I think they're trying to do. that right now but um you know it's like. every single day there's something else.

with them right Paul George got hurt. right last got hurt Paul George got hurt. again so good luck over there Philly. you're gonna figure it out and to. gumpy's point why did Joel flop on that. free throw I don't know basketball well. enough every once in a while when I'm. shooting here I'm like ah he was doing. that same is that what he was doing or. did he have pain I I personally think. like when I watch that I feel like like. I'm just picturing myself shooting a. free throw I think his reaction was more. like dang like I'm about to miss I maybe. he thought he was missing the free throw.

like you have that outward reaction but. again only only Joel embiid can answer. that so maybe information should leak. maybe that information should leak well. I I think anytime you hear about a team. meeting and you say I want to know about. what's happening in there and you said. sometimes there's no substance and then. sometimes oh there's a lot of stuff I. think anytime there's a lot of stuff. that means that team didn't talk about. what we're going to talk about two. people whenever they ask about this. particular meeting which leads to oh no. for the Philadelphia 76ers ladies and.

gentlemen a man who just quite literally. does his job in a beautiful fashion sham. sh member of NBA Countdown yeah mhm I'll. tell you what we're going to follow the. NBA season closer because shoms I mean. we don't have to we know who's going to. win who your Boston Celtics baby 19's. coming home huge win over the Cavaliers. yeah massive and and it was closer on. the scoreboard than it really was what's. going on with this team they stink out. loud brother hey last year's R was fun.

you better hold on to that thing Hold On. Tight boat raced last night I guess. everybody I don't Houston I don't watch. it but I just get a lot of people. telling me they stink from every other. team's fan base yeah all right we'll be. back tomorrow reacting to tonight's game. goodbye nailed it just hit it right on. the screws Houston's good Houston's very. good yeah just just 11 yeah that is a. tough ball. always wi at home may you don't are the. guy who what's different about the. Pacers though they're the same Squad. right I just think they're not playing. good like the shots that were falling.

last year aren't falling this year. they'll be all right they'll be fine. they they do play a lot of guys I don't. know if that's always been their MO like. I looking at the sheet yesterday and who. knows you know when some guys were. playing they played like 13 dudes. they're pretty banged up they've lost. some guys to Big injuries as well okay. so the tweets that I'm receiving every. single time the Pacers play any team. from that team's and base are a little. bit out of context you know maybe uh not. giving me the full story maybe the. Pacers get healthy and maybe they play a. lot of guys because they play a style.

you know that's very quick and later in. the season these teams are going to be. banged up and tired you're not going to. be able to run with these Pacers boys. you know because the Pacers set the pace. yeah they do it's in an name they do run. I I think the reason and Houston's going. to be loud all year I think the real. reason they're talking on a lot of junk. is because our our Prince the guy who. you know holds Puma big Puma. um he he hasn't been playing too big as. of late and but sometimes to be honest. yeah sometimes his costume last night. didn't help his Casey what I did see his.

costume last night that was a good. costume and he says they're not costumes. of course that was a game costume yeah. yeah had to be I don't want to call him. and ask him what the [ __ ] going on no. not I don't think so he was like Tyrese. has a good jovial Vibe about it great Mo. that is a part of who Tyrese is you. could tell when he was in here for the. city thing he was not necessarily. thrilled to to be doing that and then. talk to him afterwards I don't know what. the hell's going on but then whenever he. go that's why it's such a bummer yeah.

when he just lights this place up it's. like it's over he's back he's all the. way he'll find his time no doubt it's so. did they start slow last year oh. okay what's that what's what who's that. farnworth Bentley no it's not that's. Tyrese halberton oh I like the. you know if I'm if. I'm Billy's what 2 and 11 2 and 12 I. believe 212 if I'm 122 13 and one.

Cleveland 15 and one now you support. whatever you want to support but other. than that if I'm not like doing I'm. laying low you're saying Tyrese needs to. slow down his fashion Charles I love his. fits he can do whatever he wants to do. that's not a fit that is a costume we. all know that's a costume he told me I. wear it to game I'll wear it anywhere. else it's like no you wouldn't which is. like a no you wouldn't then why haven't. we seen him he's got you know what he's. got to do looks cool though he just got. to go out to next and imagine that he's.

in the Thunderdome bingo I already start. burying baskets just like he did what. what I witnessed I I sent him a I sent. him a motivational text saying hey just. [ __ ] light it next shot's best shot. but unconscious he does need to take. more shots you stay away from take 10. Joe Burrow's closet or that is fashion. the fashion. they do the fashion stuff they know the. fashion right right that's something Jo. they said Joe looks like somebody no.

they said he hasn't Joe Joe's moving to. England is he no oh no he's not Bingo. that is not there is people on what's. that about bingo I don't know everybody. a lot of people move into England I. guess uh yeah ex talk show host things. don't go your way just. flee okay to is ch just said there is. people that since the internet started. saying that the record of the team that. Joe bur's been on has not been that. great with that being said though Joe.

burrow is ain't his fault the. rock wear what you. want that's a guy to place a little. wager on MVP because if they go on a run. and they make the playoffs if he's still. first and everything his numbers are. absurd he might he might sneak away he. he is having like a career year and uh. their team just just can't win so it was. Jamar Chase it was and he still got four. years on his contract we found out he. still got another year and then he's got.

a franchise tag year and then he's got. another franchise tag year so that's. never getting settled that feels like. that's going to be a dog chase tail. situation whenever you talk about. contracts but it's like what Joe burrow. has been doing statistically through the. air this year speal yeah special I think. that's a good way to describe it special. cuz that defense Jesse Min what he's. doing with that defense I mean they they. only let up 13 points a game going into. this one how's that guy go from college.

into the NFL and be able to do that he. was in the NFL earlier so he was in the. NFL that he comes from the Raven system. so and his dad was a longtime coach so. he's been around ball for a long time so. I think that system translated very well. to the Personnel that he had there uh. you know with the Chargers but he's he's. really good he's really good yeah and. like the guys they have the their. defense hasn't been great though to M's. credit and then like he comes in there. and all those dudes are back playing. unbelievable again all right let's get. to a break uh on the other side Kevin.

okon will join us the head coach of the. Minnesota Vikings can't wait to catch up. with John both me too when it came. through the year I was open bummed up. something we had I couldn't wait we had. Arthur his older brother dude Arty love. Arty so Arty in the comments this. weekend where I post about. John I love that family they said proba. pop something popped up it would join us. I got faith is the curse back I know we. promoted it that's all I could think. about as soon as I put the Tweet up as I. was typing it up I'm like H we've gotten.

triple stamp confirmation yeah we should. let people know that this person's going. to be on the show for have to there's. actually something happening at ESPN. where like um which is pretty cool this. is like a cool thing that's happening. some people reach out and said like hey. if we would have known that you guys. were doing the juju commitment thing we. would have talked about that and then I. have to explain the whole situation. about like how we uh can't do it hey. part of our show's thing is like 9 times. out of 10 whenever we promote something.

somebody's coming on it's just like we. don't even really promote Aaron Rogers. Tuesday no just you know that's it like. five years like we're uh you know we we. don't want to put it out and then it end. up inevitably not happening which has. happened a lot for our show because our. show is very much a uh people getting. booked at 112. a.m. before Show's going live thank you. to Mike Foss. yeah what a weapon what a weapon Mike.

Indiana people are already filing in. should be good uhoh don't let the who. big weekend who. take over they're going to they might. it's a done deal I think so too it's a. close drive cuz I respect the hell out.

of the Ohio State people but the Ohio. State people before their game they have. tailgate things that they do you know. they have like their own plan it's like. the IU fans are traveling over we can. all just meet SC to at this. yeah age age is everything like State. fans will be they'll be in their seats. and ready to to watch the squad well. go inside too which is unbelievable to. be on the field for that actually I saw. a tweet that there's a little bit too. much sitting down at the shoe quiet year.

Ohio State fans some Ohio State fans are. pissed at other Ohio State fans for not. staying in the whole game wait is that. the video that I saw from the Ohio State. team from their social media I don't. know saying fans we need you loud on. Saturday what's going on AJ see that who. put that out I didn't see it it was like. the team it was like uh the three. offensive lineman I think then it was. like a running back and it like a wide. receiver and everything collaborative. effort just letting the fans know hey. you're part of this you guys are part of. this I agree yeah I think it's good for. the entire state to come together they. had a game recently in that where.

they've needed them the fans like a. tight game where. Nebraska how long ago was that couple. weeks cple two three weeks is that the. one that were throwing trash on the. field that's the new trend you guys were. throwing trash on the field over there. if you want to call to be changed what. did happen thanks a lot Texas you tell. me you were there probably I was not. there in person Bobby Carpenter actually. was in the front row throw throw throw. you. started he show up to the game with a p.

life hello beautiful people and welcome. back to our humble abow the Thunderdome. on this NFL week 12 kickoff Thursday. November 21st 2024 hour three the. program starts now football he's awesome. that's AJ Hawk the toxic tables here at. paa Conor and at Schmidt one half of the. hammer Cowboys AP ton is here a man who. has 36 years of football coaching. experience 18 in college 18 in the NFL. and a guy who needs to get off the.

schneide against the spread this evening. for Pittsburgh Steelers Cleveland Browns. Thursday Night Football week 12 kickoff. game ladies and gentlemen Chuck P good. to see you coach you're not the only. coach on the show right now I'll have. you know joining us now ladies and. gentlemen is the man who uh leads the. 8-2 Vikings who have a big one against. the Chicago Bears this weekend I believe. it just got off a pelaton this man's in. phenomenal shape he's a former player. great jawline super attractive but also. a massive football brain ladies and. gentlemen head coach of the Minnesota.

Vikings Kevin okell y coach what's up. man hate to say it man pelaton is uh. collecting some dust as uh over these. last few days oh no what do we do do you. do you do any uh working out throughout. the season it get difficult do you put. on a bunch of weight what is normally. the ml for this time of year. uh no I I I try to get uh whatever I can. but no it's you get into November. December um it just kind of feels like. any and all time where I can be with my.

family I'm going to be doing that and. then uh I'm with my family here in this. beautiful building uh pretty much every. other moment of my existence which I. absolutely love well that's a head coach. of a football team there's only 32 of. them you happen to be a phenomenal one. still up for ap's vote uh AP Ton's vote. for Coach of the Year hey just want to. let you know. we have an AP vote in the building he. wears a cowboy hat every day uh he is. actually in control of one of the votes. for the you are on the watch list still. just have you know that and so all the.

time you're spending away from your. family well worth it yeah well worth it. in AP tones eyes and uh obviously a lot. of coaches are having a great year you. guys are no exception let's chitchat. about it I uh we pulled some stats about. your team and obviously it's very easy. to talk about Justin Jefferson I think I. saw you give an answer about Justin. Jefferson the other day about how if you. were playing basketball it was five on. five imagine if three of the people on. the other team were just focusing on one. of your players that is kind of what's. happening with Justin Jefferson he still. produces and your offense still able to.

do that but there's a stat that we found. that I think is a uh really glorious one. the Vikings ranked number one in the NFL. with 16 interceptions in 21 takeaways on. defense first in allowing only 74.4. rushing yards per game and have held. opponent scoreless in 17 quarters this. season which is number one in the NFL. can you tell me about why this year's. Vikings team with how this defense is. doing is poised for an actual run. they're doing historic stuff right now.

coach yeah I'm glad you mentioned that. just because you know Pat it's one of. those things where you know we've. probably uh not played a total complete. Game truly yet uh you know you can make. an argument the Houston game earlier in. the year was was close uh but I would. say our defense and forcing those. turnovers uh that doesn't count a ton of. fourth down stops uh when teams are. trying to drive the ball to you know. late in the game to to recapture the. lead against us and our guys are just.

stepping up it's an unbelievable. collection of unique players great. defensive coordinator and Brian Flores. and a great defensive staff uh but it's. awesome on a daily basis to just watch. those guys work and then uh on Game Day. between the veteran presence of a guy. like Harrison Smith and uh new additions. that we added to the defense this year. grenard van Ginko. Cashman um you know and and then the you. know the three corners stepping up and. really solidifying a position that we.

you know were in some turmo turmoil at. at times uh with some things that have. taken place here uh feel great about the. defense feel great about uh our ability. to compete because of those guys and and. we're going to we're going to find a way. to play our best football here down the. stretch which is something kind of three. years in this job was a real goal of. mine coming into this year was to. progressively build uh even when nobody. thought we were going to be very good I. didn't really care it was just about. working and trying to get better because. my belief in this team's always been.

there you know thanksgiving's next week. and everything you're saying like kind. of Echoes the sentiment that bill bich. always said like it's the football after. Thanksgiving where you got to be playing. your best have your best team and. matters the most sounds like you guys. are trending in that direction let's. talk about the offensive side now that. obviously your big ass brain is in. charge of JJ Mccarthy news happens. before the season so we're basically. told. okay Sam darnold is going to be the. starting quarterback for this Minnesota. Vikings team and I think JJ got another. surgery godp speed brother God speed and. recovery for all that that's no fun.

anytime they got to cut you open there's. obviously things that can happen. hopefully he comes back full go where do. you staying with Sam darnold right now. just uh I don't want to say like. personal relationship but how do you. think you and Sam darnold have grown. this year and what have you seen out of. Sam yeah I think Sam's done so many. great things year one in the system you. know kind of taking him uh from where he. was at in his career these guys started. a lot of games and coming into this. offense and and really just having him.

focus on the day-to-day and and the. minute to minute and Sam's really. talented uh he's you know pushed the. ball all over the field we've been. pretty darn explosive with him at the. helm you know clearly there's been some. times where we've had you know maybe. been too aggressive and and had some. decisions backfire from a standpoint of. turnovers but not without uh having some. real moments of growth and and I thought. he played one of his best games of the. Season against you know a really good. Tennessee defense last week uh one of. the best fronts in football those.

interior guys are no joke good Edge. players um on the road just kind of. running the show resolving conflict you. know taking plays when they were there. uh just spitting a bunch of completions. out there to to some pretty darn good. players on the perimeter and um I think. it was Big Time growth for for Sam and. now it's just about stacking it he's had. some real stretches of high high level. football and how consistent can I be. coaching him is the most important thing. because I know I'm going to get the best. out of Sam here down the stretch and. it's going to help our team Justin. Jefferson obviously phenomenal but.

there's a tight end too that is. obviously chatted about a lot go ahead. tone yeah coach you talk about you know. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison and. that wide out room is is loaded but you. get TJ hackinson back a few weeks ago. how big has that been for the offense. with you know him going down the middle. a. ton yeah I think uh you know you saw it. a little bit versus Jacksonville a. couple weeks ago when you know we're. getting some pretty unique coverages. where TJ's getting you know drawing a. lot of linebackers in coverage and um. you know winning in the middle of the. field that middle of the field kind of.

inside out passing game has always been. a huge part of what we do and it it's. grown bigger just as we've kind of. experienced the inventory of coverages. that Justin gets and Jordan gets uh so. having TJ back's been huge I do think. Josh Oliver has had a phenomenal year um. just from a standpoint of a true. blocking why that impacts the pass game. there's just not a lot of guy a lot of. guys like that walking the face of the. Earth and uh he's been really good for. us but having TJ back I think half of.

his targets have been um kind of third. down conversions or close to it since. he's been back it's a big part of our. team Pat and it's a great question. because if we can really find that. balance between all of those guys and. still run the football with Aaron uh. Aaron Jones who's been a huge impact for. our team I I think we're going to have. to kind of balance couple that with our. defense playing well and doing some good. things in the kicking game I like where. we're at hey on that note shout out to. the kicking game amen but you just. mentioned the running back there that. you guys added in the off season Tai has. a question for you yeah coach you guys.

are 8-0 um when you're out rushing your. opponents and you're also I think plus. 420 in rushing yards differential which. is sixth best in the NFL as a Packers. fan obviously I knew what Aaron Jones. was going to be I don't think anyone. thought he was really going to fall off. but how important has he been to the. offense to kind of unlock a new. dimension cuz it seems like you guys are. kind of Leaps and Bounds better in that. department than you have been in years. past yeah Aaron's made a huge impact um. it's just it's one thing he gets so he. gets credit for being so versatile.

having an impact in the past game and. we've we've thrown him a bunch of. different kind of routes and Concepts. that not a lot of running backs are. doing um and that's great and that's. huge but Aaron Jones is a really really. good runner and uh I think his vision. his toughness he's not the biggest guy. in the world but his play style is off. the charts his vision you know all the. things that made him so hard to play. against you know playing for your. Packers for so many years having such an. impact it was why I was so excited to. get him here and then you actually get.

him in your building and you realize uh. what an unbelievable human being and. just how he's kind of taking uh you know. what I think is a pretty darn good. culture around here Aaron Jones has made. it better he's made this building better. uh we so fortunate to have him on our. team and um you know he's he's had a. huge impact no doubt they say his Vibes. are immaculate yeah unbelievable yeah. has that remained I know Green Bay is. cold but I I a never been in a colder. place than Minesota we had our first. snowfall here in Indianapolis this.

morning we woke up there snow on the. ground how is it over there I see you're. in a puffer jacket in your office is it. a uh is it already are we already at. that point in Minnesota uh we are at. that point as we speak about to head out. to uh you know uh practice to get ready. to play outside in Chicago I know they. got some snow today um don't know what. Sunday is going to be like but our boys. will be ready to roll um not something. we're not used to around here but I will. say very fortunate to have US Bank. Stadium about 10 miles away from where I.

sit right now very forunate what year. was that Brett Favre was playing I think. when they had to play outside at. go at go I think we all remember like. all of us we were all in different parts. of the country right there we all. responded like oh yeah oh yeah we. remember that I mean it gets cold as. [ __ ] in Minnesota I wonder why why is it. why is it so cold there versus other. places land 10,000 lakes I don't know so. it's Lake Effect everywhere North as. [ __ ] it is North as [ __ ] it's a Canada. basic there's a lot of North as [ __ ].

places it feels like Minnesota just. really gets the C anyways beautiful Town. though the whole place is connected in. tunnels because of it being cold as [ __ ]. you can walk not not the we're talking. like malls or. Tel elevated elev buz word for me Sue me. yeah I get it now AJ has a question for. you KOC coach you mentioned you guys. have not played a complete game yet and. obviously you guys are eight and2 so I. guess is that something you address with. your team when you speak to them hey. like we haven't put everything together.

yet but ultimately that's a great thing. if we still have eight wins and we. haven't even really figured out how to. put it all together is it something that. you you think is trending in the right. direction yeah it's exactly you know. very similar to my message this week was. really in a way where um I think we've. become a mature team because we we. figured out unique ways to win um we've. had different sides of the ball and our. defense step up huge in games where uh. we haven't put the ball in the end zone. enough or haven't have had more.

turnovers than uh we we would like when. we're moving the ball all day you know. there's been multiple times where uh the. defense has had kind of a closers. mentality which has been huge uh but I. think it's it's a challenge to the group. and understand that uh we all feel very. fortunate to have the group we do uh. these guys love love playing with one. another and working like we're you know. like we're doing each and every week but. uh what does it really mean if we can't. go out and put it all together. consistently because down the stretch. here that's what you're going to need to.

do there's a lot of really good teams in. the NFC um we're going to have to play. really good football down the stretch. here to put a stamp on a year that we. all should be proud of but at the same. time means absolutely nothing right now. in my opinion and and that's where I do. think we got the right kind of guys and. I think our best ball is in front of us. uh you know as you to navigate November. December which you know I do believe has. been in my mind probably from coach. belich but also looking back on what. we've been here um over the first two.

years of my career here it's something. that I made a note of it uh coming into. this year it's been part of our process. and we've talked about it uh but as I. told the team the time is. now your time is up our time is now yeah. shout out John Cena I didn't know you're. quoting John Cena there too was I love. that I was I was inspired by by getting. a chance to see that WrestleMania from. you man that was unbelievable hey thank. you thank you I appreciate that I saw. you were forced to watch that CU we put.

you on the call and then we were running. that video so we apologize for that but. I we did get to see your reaction during. it uh I live the dumbest life of all. time brother I mean that is just that is. just a matter of fact uh very lucky to. do a lot of the things that I've gotten. to do including you know playing the NFL. cuz I get a chance to listen to great. leaders speak you know and Chuck will. have a question for you about that here. in a matter of moments but for me I. wonder for you how long are you talking. to the team how often do you talk to the. team and like night before game what is. the speech is it is it a Gipper or like.

what is your style when chatting with. the team because obviously you've been. in the audience for a lot of. those yeah I think the night before the. game is really important um if you've. had any kind of consistency to your. messaging all week it's a great. opportunity to put uh put a stamp on it. put a bow on it and make sure these guys. wa up with you know total confidence and. Clarity to go play and be at their best. and uh I I talk a lot about what it's. going to take to win the game early in. the week you know try to give them. tangible real things versus each.

opponent uh that I think is important. and then you got to have that postgame. um you know real talk where you know you. highlight a lot of really good things. and there's been plenty of that for you. know an 8-2 football team but at the. same time it's also important that. you're honest and you're real and you're. authentic every single day I'm sure you. talked to Justin or TJ or or Harrison. Smith they'd probably say they've heard. about enough of me but it's Beauty. that's a beauty of being the head coach. man they if I put team meeting on the. board they got to show up otherwise.

there's going to be consequences and. they got to listen to me talk all day. long and uh until they tell me otherwise. that's what I'm going be doing yeah you. got a full crowd anytime you speak. anytime you want hell yeah anytime you. want you know especially if you have a. good culture you got everybody showing. up on time hopefully which has creeped. into professional sports seriously have. you heard about this there's like people. that are late to team meetings and Sh. yeah exactly you have not heard don't. want to hear it yeah that's not that's. not a real thing but that's happening in. professional sports other places. obviously not in your culture let's talk.

about your culture you think you're. funny KOC you think you're some funny. guy I see what's happening over your. shoulder up there look at that G look at. that yes please put him what's this K. what's this here oh that just so happens. to be hanging over that just so happens. to be in the shot what game was that. KOC that was one of the worst coaching. halfs I've ever been a part of in the. first half so you what you don't see is. on the back of that ball uh it says the.

30 33 to nothing first half score of. that game but the part you can see uh it. does uh happen to be the greatest. comeback in yeah that was pretty great. yeah and I like that you keep the side. that's good for you you know y cuz. there's some people out there that would. have the bad side out there yeah ruined. Jeff Saturday's career yeah you did you. ended coach Saturday's career hope. you're happy hope you're happy he's very. excited that you. did now speaking of coaching a coaching.

change was made on the other side Chuck. has a question for you yeah coach uh the. Bears have moved on from Shane Waldren a. week ago and Thomas Brown is now calling. the offensive plays for them it looked. to me at least uh from what I saw like. the Run game was was a little bit better. they were a little bit more efficient on. offense quarterback looked to be playing. in Rhythm how big a challenge is this to. you and your team and specifically Brian. Flores and that defense as far as like I. don't know how much you can change at. this point you know with your with your.

play calls and your terminology and. things like that but what kind of. challenges do you. face yeah coach it's a uh I saw that the. same thing you did uh just from a. standpoint of there was a real mindset. to get Playmakers involved early with. some you know kind of Ballout plays. where you know you get DJ Moore multiple. touches you got that clearly got Swift. in the in the Run game going which he's. you know as talented of a back as I. think we have in our league he a really. good player and they've got you know.

Keenan Allen they've got uh Rome on the. outside who clearly has a great rapport. with Caleb as rookies that come in. together um and then I and then I just. think Cole kit and working the inside of. the field they've got multiple weapons. uh and then a quarterback who you know. let's face it you know studying that. group last year it was a great. quarterback group uh there's a reason. why Caleb was the first pick in the. draft and everybody in this league is is. so excited about him because the talent. you know his ability to play on schedule. off schedule uh I think he's seeing the.

field like all young quarterbacks do. they grow throughout the season and. experience you know different things. than what they experience in college I. think he played really well last week. put them right in position to be a field. goal away from beating a really good. Green Bay Packers team so I think Thomas. Brown did a really good job and it's. going to be a challenge because I know. Thomas well coached with him in La uh. he's he's built a you know he's going to. build it no matter how much time he has. leading into this opportunity he's going. to build it with really good principles.

of offensive Football starting with the. Run game making life easy on the. quarterback when he can and when those. weighty Downs come around they've got. skilled players all over the map to uh. you know throw the football to and make. it hard on you so I know Flo and our. defense are you know really looking at. this game as they do uh pretty much. every week in this league but looking at. this as a major major challenge to go on. the road and defend a group like this. and I assume Caleb Williams is viewing. this as a major major challenge of a BF. flow defense as is OB obviously humming. can't wait to watch it who's your.

special teams coordinator I should know. who is it Matt Daniels is he gonna do. the double push over the Long. Snapper to block field seems like that's. available against the Chicago Bears uh. what an ending two weeks walk-off block. kicks coach yeah unbelievable I mean it. just it just goes to show that when we. as coaches stand up there and and uh you. know I know coach Pagano can vouch for. this it's got to be 60 minutes and. sometimes more uh takes everything you.

got and if you never know when that one. play is going to happen where either. don't have the play style or the. technique fundamentals uh and and and. your opponent shows up and makes a play. it could change the whole day it just so. happened uh that that was the last play. of the game and a huge play as you know. as we saw it in the NFC North they're. all going to be close uh all the teams. in our division are good talented. football teams physical football teams. so it's going to take everything you got. as an organization especially when. you're going on the road trying to get a.

win so we know that uh and and and we. know what we're signing up for we got to. go do it 8-2 second in the NFC North. eight and2 obviously behind the Lions. whenever you say the NFC North is good. and Coach the play don't care who makes. it that's right I've heard that from. Chuck about a thousand times you know. it's not it's not every play is is going. to be the play that's going to bust it. open but the play that's going to matter. don't care who makes it and that is. frankco Harris all he said when he. caught the Immaculate Reception was I. was just hustling and I was at the right. place the right time cuz I was I was.

just hustling you think that ball touch. the ground yeah he caught it definitely. definitely I think I think touch the. ground no I think so too I I'm from. Pittsburgh I think he caught it it's. right there at the bottom of the airport. right next to George Washington this guy. founded the a lot of questions what. replay just would say no Franco though. right next to welcome to Pittsburgh we. got the founder and the Savior here okay. and that's the that's how you kind of. keep it rolling replay assist would have. potentially said that thing skimm the. ground but speaking of Replay assist. 2024 is a wild time we've been learning. a lot uh both through Dan rovski.

segments and also the evolution of what. coaches have had Connor has a question. for you yeah coach Dan rowski ran a. little segment about you know VR with. quarterbacks and how they use it is that. something you guys utilize and how often. are you guys going in there and kind of. getting mental reps or actual reps with. the VR. headset yeah it's it's become a huge. part of uh a lot of the younger. quarterbacks kind of have come up with. it through college um and the. expectation is like let's use all the. resources we have so we actually we have.

a VR program and then we also you know. Sam and the rest of the quarterbacks. will wear uh GoPros at practice. recording you know kind of their vision. point uh the audio all those things um. that then in a year like this where. you've got uh your first round pick. quarterback you know doing great by the. way healthy getting to a great spot um. but he's got a lot of reps he can take. behind the scenes um in a year where. truly he's getting the chance to grow. and really become uh a master of of the.

system without having to be you know. tested each and every Sunday for three. and a half hours against you know NFL. defense as he's getting that time via. all those resources I didn't get a. chance to see that with Dan but uh I'm. sure it was awesome and that's that's. part of what you try to do is maximize. the technology and the resources we got. great owners that provide us with the. ability to have a lot of those things so. it it it really is a tool uh that I. think can steal a lot of time on task. for these quarterbacks to get ready to. go Dan will appreciate the fact that you.

just assumed it was awesome because he. was a part of that a lot of people don't. do that at all so he he will be very he. will be very thankful didn't even crack. love that that's good friend Dar rovski. that's good friend Dar rovski uh KOC. good luck this weekend and the rest of. the way we thank you for taking time. yeah you guys are the best thank you hey. turkey. ham. turkey stuffing mashed. potatoes both boom great answer apple.

pie pumpkin. pie oh man I'm gonna I'm gonna probably. have some real things to answer for for. this but neither for me wow that's why. he's got that yeah. exactly protein he wants protein that. WrestleMania performance though man. inspired I'm jumping on this bike behind. me right after I get off you're the man. you saw some fat on me there that was. that came together very last minute. you're the man ladies and gentlemen the. head coach of the Minnesota Vikings. Kevin okon yeah coach he's cool dude.

yeah yeah foreign player ton bomb said. sit down before you do you're cut yeah. okay he just never really got to where. we thought you'd get okay that's on us. more so than you yeah it's not your. fault stink he he's literally sit down. you're cut okay and you stink and okay. and yeah okay better yeah why don't you. stand up get the [ __ ] out of here Dan. Bob was. wrong we don't know he might he might. have been very right I I you know no. he's definitely wrong oh Kevin oono I.

heard he could spin it yeah yeah he said. more athletic than he give him credit. for too A lot of people said right debut. yeah debut teammates with drafted to New. England I think they're the same draft. class yeah debut like he could spin I. think he can move too a little bit. athlete he's got that jawline though on. him don't he yeah unbelievable he's got. that jaw he ran at San Diego s where. where the hell he went I think speaking. of running we've been running this. segment every single week and it's. become one of my favorite things to not. only find the clips but for people to. send in when they happen during college. football games AJ I I know you're not.

very active on X or on your phone. because you got 100 kids and you got a. lot of things going on but these college. football games have become infinite. infinitely more exciting because I'll. open it I'll see somebody with a hashtag. Ram truck and then I will search for. that on X and I will find somebody. getting obliterated now people still. still don't understand completely that. it has to be a legal play that's right. okay it has to be a legal play there. cannot be a flag on the play we do not. want to promote a like legal hits and. like cheap shots and things like that.

within the rules of the game can you. still smack somebody if you can we' like. to call that a hashtag Ram TR okay the. way this segment goes is uh there are. three contenders uh each week of a. hashtag Ram truck play that will take on. our reigning defending Undisputed Ram. truck champion from the week we before. the only champion this segment has ever. known is the Mount Union Mount boom that. play will be a part of this week's four. contenders for the hash Ram truck. challenge after we show these four we.

will put them up on X there will then be. a poll immediately underneath it will be. you who will decide which play will win. the Ram truck play of this particular. week he who has the title at the end of. the season will win a brand new. 2500 heavy duty Rebel that's been. sitting outside of Thunderdome for the. last couple months and I'll tell you. what it got a little snowfall on it. today it's so nice that is a truck you. want yeah with a little snow on it look. mean look clean look durable look.

physical look tough just like these four. entries into the hashtag Ram truck. challenge let's get to it ladies and. gentlemen the first. play from. UAB this is Jonathan Allen more like. R absolute de cleaner whenever you talk. about you know utilizing Brute Force to. stop somebody's momentum from going.

forward and taking them directly boom Oh. man boom perfect Force perfect form yeah. got the head out of the way shoulder. you're running full speed huh uh-uh zero. miles an hour negative speed mph you are. going backwards quickly that is a # Ram. truck let's go to the second one ladies. and gentlemen this the second week in a. row that a punter has been put into the. # Ram truck challenge for the biggest. hit of the week in college ball a little.

bit of a low punt but players can make. Play Let me throw my body there is's a. flag on the play but not on the punter. who gets up and flexs on him this is. Ryan Eckley. boom. boom I mean that's awesome unreal that. is what Putters do okay this is two. weeks in a row now punters have been on. the Ram truck segment and that is my. exact tackling technique if you watch. some of my film it was I'm trying to get. shoulder and I'm trying to go full body. out there because if uh if you're able.

to run through me now I was a little. heavier than Eckley I'm about 230 240. right now 255 so if you were able to run. through my full body CU I didn't want to. have to do the whole power game because. these people are all more powerful than. me good on you and there was a guy from. Kansas City that did just that it was. freezing cold I left the ground I. thought I had them and I felt a tingle. from my head to my [ __ ] right down my. spine and I was sent into a blender and. he continued to run so I appreciate what. aley did and those two are up for a. brand new 2500 heavy duty Rebel Ram look.

at the snow sitting on top of that reel. wow look at the majesticness of that. Rebel Ram that could be one of these. four Dudes at the end of the hashtag Ram. truck season let's go to the third. finalist on this particular week this. one's from San Jose State more like. Ram Jose St that's Floyd chock I fourth. there had been three before but never. one did that San Jose State's all over. the news yeah all over the news.

everywhere hopefully changing the future. for the much better for all of sport but. the RAM Jose State run over is the one. of the first running back entries here. and I will have you know that that was a. Chuck Pagano entry oh Chuck Pagano. actually recorded his t at his house and. texted it to me and said this is my Ram. truck and I even gave play byplay on. that whole thing and you don't often see. a running back be able to do that to. somebody that was out of a movie that. kept going boom that was out of a movie.

right there now some people say he. lowered his helmet did the whole thing. there's no flag flag there's no flag so. it's not and the reigning Champion. obviously is Weston Arthur out of Mount. Union the helmet gone man pitch over. Weston Arthur Mount boo has been a. reigning champ will any of the other. three take the crown from Mount boom you. will be the judge of that you will have. to go on to X find that particular post. and then underneath there will be a poll.

you vote on which one you think should. win the hash Ram truck play of the week. and uh the winner at the end of the. season will win a rebel Ram 2500 heav. Duty fourwh drive for that yeah. four-wheel drive high and low yep okay. depending upon upon what you want to get. through and then if you want to go to a. parking lot and just do some WI uh uh. donut donuts and fish tailing that. thing's got two wheel drive obious you. can just put them in the back there and. you can just go ahead and spin that. thing if you want to now I'm not saying. you should okay you should not be. Reckless with this entire thing but you.

certainly could without a doubt you. certainly could with the power that this. thing has and whenever you hit the gas. pedal all you hear. [Music]. is good look at truck Ram Jose State. Ram Punt ramth and Allen in Mount boo. canone see who it is I ably gasped when. I watched the UAB one yeah the first.

time I saw it that might be Weston. Arthur and the mount boom have had quite. a quite a rain on this entire thing like. an 11 seed has it been close has anybody. uh the Mount Union people have been. showing up it's I think it's been within. like 10 to 15 since he 10% 10 10% but I. think that that UAB ramth and Allen I. mean that one has a a great form tackle. don't sleep on RAM Jose Stage teach tape. teach tape on how to. tackle I'm good I'm good I'm good great.

look s Zone the guy just runs right by. him too his lead blocker just runs right. by him go back to that from the side. angle there the guy who's his lead. blocker runs right by this guy he knows. hey I don't want I want raban Allen no. way hey hit Su spin Z got look at the. big guy let me ah I'm not [ __ ] that. guy. boom it must been something in his eyes. I'm gonna miss that guy that's somebody. else's block that's not mine wrong.

Snapper is about to get him I not like. the pun returner oh oh my go and he's. locked up to Arms yeah. captured back bump it's over there was a. lot of Eckley uh submissions too I. believe he's very popular at Michigan. safe because they punted a lot last year. and he was. made the first team freshman all americ. team last year so big fan him up there. okay I like that maybe hey I'll tell you. what up there in. Michigan at Rebel Ram. 25 can you imagine that Carrot Top.

Top only one Carrot Top in this world. brother he's jacked oh. okay see him yeah he's got red. hair okay it Ginger we get it wow jez.

Louise the Italian can't take the. Scottish or the. Irish I love them all yeah of course um. even the terrorist Northern Italy no no. talking about what is this with you what. is your problem he said it Jesus all. ladies and gentlemen uh congrats to the. finalist there. for can mount boom continue to reign. supreme we shall see that that Raman. Allen was a big I was that was that one. came through I didn't see that one um on.

the Twitter I didn't see that one on the. Twitter there was another one from that. game yes the uh Memphis running back I. think yeah there was another one for. there was two in that game Oregon oual I. believe uh young concrete I believe his. his Twitter handle and nickname he had a. close to hit but it was from Oregon. standards and Oregon's been on the Ram. truck segment a lot it wasn't like uh it. was certainly a big time shot but it. wasn't up to Oregan standards there that.

Raman Allen one when it got texted to me. and I looked at it I was like holy [ __ ]. that might be that might be the most. amount of force you're allowed to have. in common football right now yeah. probably right cuz no bracing either at. all well how often does a d tackle cuz. he was part of the pp wall do they get. to go and just square up a wide receiver. and catch him square like completely. clean and it's like the perfect form. tackle Mount boom might have it I mean.

it might be in it for but it was a hell. of a rain if it is the end of Mount boom. oh yeah Western AR this we're not saying. we don't we would love for it to go to. Mount Union oh yeah we think that's kind. of what the Ram truck thing is all about. but the reality is Raman Allen here this. is that's exactly what we thought. whenever we thought of the the Ram truck. segment right the wall that is pretty. much it all right um ladies and. gentlemen it is time okay it is time. yeah oh yeah can't wait there's been a. man on a schneide oh boy for a little.

bit of time mhm but it's tonight tonight. he turns the tide yeah now no one and we. mean no one I'll Pizza is the Hut but. what has this man who's been incredibly. butt at picking pitch is going to do Now. ladies and gentlemen it's. time for Coach Chuck bagano to get off. the schneide in pick against the spread. for this Thursday night football game. Chuck what are some things we need to be.

looking at and what is your pick pal. let's um look at the tail of the tape. first we've got some plays yes we do we. look at the tail of the tape and you can. see the against the spread pick comes in. 8- two uh Cleveland's three and. Pittsburgh God I'm apolog so I think. what happened here fine next time you. can find me next time no no so CH Chuck. I think what happens is everybody on. earth does that everybody but then. people from Pittsburgh are like you're. doing it wrong that pick we got too many.

I I mean there's too many ERS. disrespectful oh yeah Conor's from. Boston massachus him and sacko yeah. exactly he grew up. with good good call back brother that's. good check out my family looking for. photos right now we're we need them. Medford um but yes Pittsburgh traveling. to Cleveland so points per game. 23.3 16.2 not not very many points. scored over there in Cleveland per game. points allowed Pittsburgh's defense is.

is outstanding you could see that. turnover margin we talked about that. already you could. even plus 11 you got it stupid Raven. blooded you total offense you can see. the numbers Total Defense uh Rush why is. Rush offense up there in Rush defense. weather weather weather bad weather game. that's going to come into play right and. you can see where Rush offense. Pittsburgh eighth ranked and 29th for. for Cleveland 88 yards a game not very.

good there's only second most okay in. the yeah in the league okay and they got. two good backs they got chub and they. got. Ford sure and they've got a third string. left tackle starting tonight no he's not. a third he's former number one overall. uh overall pick. Cleveland yeah what's that cat's name. that's going to. startan jones out no Fetti a. Fetti so Joan So Wills was starting what. what Pat Wills was starting Wills got.

benched I'm not I have no idea what the. last name I'm not doing it okay do you. want to do it Oh I thought you were. talking about the clip where you know. one of the Cleveland people said you. know he's not in great shape no I didn't. I didn't even know that geez this guy. went take a. shot wind dunked on him okay okay good. yeah so Dean went in he went out Wills. lost his job to Jones lost his job to. Jones okay but he's got a knee some. people are saying it might be the TJ.

watt flu. Oh So fetty Germaine fetty is gonna uh. he's going to start at left tackle so. luck we'll see how that goes get him. fedy he's a former number one he's got. nine years in the league I mean he's a. vet he knows how to play football so. we'll see yeah you don't just F in nine. years any and then Rush defense 90 yards. a game given up by Pittsburgh fourth. best in the league and 131 a game. against now you know schwarzy does a. great job with this defense they've been.

asked to do a lot because of the offense. this year so those are the numbers you. can see the quarterback comparison. obviously you know one's won a Super. Bowl and and jamus I mean he threw for a. bunch of yards last week you did bunch. of that pass defense for New Orleans is. 29th ranked pass defense. keep in mind mhm and then he threw for. some yards against Baltimore which is. the. 32nd fast defense I think I know which. way you're going here that didn't sound. like a picture starting to get painted.

but you got to keep in mind this record. this Pittsburgh record Thursday night. over all I saw was over over over over. over like can't win so let's look at. some of the players that are going to. play key roles in whether this team you. know pulls off a major uh upset in. Cleveland or or you know Pittsburgh wins. this game which everybody thinks they. going to so Naj they got NJ and they got. Jaylen Warren two great backs NJ can. take at the distance he's one of those.

guys like you just keep giving them the. ball giving them ball give him the ball. and eventually he's going to bounce off. some dudes stiff armor do bounce to the. outside take at the distance jeez okay. no yeah that's pretty good I like that. so we got we got they got. Firepower they got. Firepower this was a great throw and a. great catch this is George Pickins he's. ever since you know Russell's been. inserted as as. qb1 they found a connection and nobody.

throws a better Moon ball n jez dropped. it in the bucket there was a great body. control athleticism adjust there um so. George George is obviously going to play. a key role I think the cuz you got to. run the ball what did uh New Orleans. have success against defense last week. doing QB run this is the signal for it. what does that mean screen if I do thank. you so if I do this. alert the draw and that's screen they.

got screen the [ __ ] out of them right. Cena what the freck you can't see me so. screens are going to. play and this little cat can run he's a. great screen back he is he can run the. ball but he's great on screen it's a. tight end screen M they got M we don't. have a highlight of M we know MTH is. going to be big in the middle middle of. the field I think we got a shot of. another white out coming up uh so Warren. Warren's going to be big in this. one you good you good I don't think we.

have what we don't have another wide. receiver we got another quarterback. though for. sure okay so the X Factor yes stop hold. the Press X Factor tonight. if they're going to say this team. struggles in what part of the Field. Pittsburgh what what what is their. struggles Red Zone red six field goals. last week right so why not insert this. cat this is week three against the.

Chargers right they inserted him late in. the game against uh the Ravens right and. he got a got a first down late or came. up but whatever so let's let's keep an. eye out I think Justin Fields anytime. touchdown would be a. good I think I think I think they get in. the red area sneaky I think they put. this guy in especially with t Hill and. they run no absolutely and you do a. quarterback design run you know the the. AR sweeps the two touchdowns that. Anthony Richardson scored last week uh.

in a big win over the Jets I mean he's. perfect for that here's an RPO he pulls. it and scores so X Factor they're going. to use him in certain situational stuff. and it'd be great that's very very. that's great football and you got to. plan for it you got to you know you got. to take time out of your practice time. to get ready for that and I'm sure you. know coach schy and the Cleveland. defense has done that so I'm sure yeah. hey Justin Field's touchdown what is the. what are the odds on I'm assuming that's. got to be at least plus 550 I was just. looking on a book and I couldn't even. find it so.

really that's a big hey that might count. as two people are asleep that might that. might that might count as two brother if. that if you get that one right I mean. that might you know especially if it's. plus 500 plus I mean it definitely is. what's Fri M cuz he he's definitely. getting in. uh 4 plus 460 is MTH Justin Field's got. to be what I mean it's not on any s it's. not on here right now no I got I don't. got it either what are you why they're.

trying to trying to screw us you know. played since they've inserted Russ at. qb1. two was it two I thought it was one so. no the slide and then he was in on the. NJ first down R wow coach Pagano says. the night's the night mhm yeah it's not. anywhere he was really good when he. played in the red zone at scoring. touchdowns Steelers fans have been. clamoring for this to happen Chu I'll. tell you if this happens you should feel. very good about yourself you should feel. very good now if it doesn't people are.

going to say they're going to kill you. look at this guy he's invented if you. could find it and you get plus 650 or. plus a couple throw a couple bucks on it. yeah that's all why not the longest one. you could find that's listed is plus. 2200 so he would have to be more than. than that you you would think I don't. know I don't know why he's not on there. that's it it should yeah it should be. somewhere between like a th000 and 2000. but I I can't find it there's books. actually replying online saying they're.

not offering it what do you mean reply. which books like actual books or bet 365. has replied to somebody and said they're. not offering it. want I'll tell you. what we're not doing it tell everybody. all right I'm going to take everybody's. action on. it we're not betting against you we're. not barbecue sauce in the world we're. not betting against you all right let's. go to the defense aside for the. Pittsburgh. Steelers oh my Lord this guy's let's.

have a plan for number. 90 not. that yeah let's have a plan you don't. leave these guys on an island you got to. put a tight end over there you better. have a back over there high Smith's out. tonight both teams are relatively really. healthy High Smith out for the for the. Steelers and then the The Tackle Jones. and wills for Cleveland so they're all. pretty healthy but you better have a. plan for this dude we know that. he's he's the first guy they put up in.

the team meeting he's won two games. already right just himself yeah just. sick that one was Dan Jones's fault. though right they did have a plan then. he decided not to slide the protection. over he's actually playing s yeah. remember cuz he was supposed to send. somebody em motion he knows that he's he. feels [ __ ] terrible crying right he's. playing safety right now on. Minka. Fitzpatrick I I would I would think that. Joey Porter Jor would probably follow. Judy around Judy had a big game we're. going to see a play here's herbing. coming off the back end forcing a.

fumble gotcha that's on a guy that. doesn't fumble right this what AQ shows. the difference about this Steelers. defense this F of Youth right and. Heyward two two two SS two sacks in this. game Beast what is that AJ that's. unbelievable long arm look at that power. with that that left arm that long arm. that's how you do it man that's what. Nick s said he was going to do to. me he did have that in your chest didn't. he did do that got the cam Hayward long. arm yeah I just want to let from cam. Hayward from cam yeah he almost put me.

into a brick wall I was like all right. we're just content bro we're hanging out. we're doing this for a video yeah okay I. just want you to feel the force a little. bit and I certainly did yeah s kind of. Along on me there I was thinking the. Dion Dawkins yeah could you. imine first on his nose oh no face first. breaking the. nose AQ saw the AQ saw the clip on there. or whatever and he was like actually not. bad pass it you know because he judges. my P I've been doing public pass sets. because of AQ shiple for maybe the last.

13 years can't do it as much now because. obviously anytime I'm mounting about. it's a little bit of a scene which is a. good thing which is a cool thing I'm. never going to [ __ ] about but it was. nice whenever people didn't know who I. was in some places and I would just walk. up in public while they're walking down. the street and just pass that like seven. eight times just like right now next to. him like never got it and just leave it. was always when AQ was around you know. and then I would ask him to judge it and. uh I told him I was like I immediately. thought it Dion dockets soon as he did. that just doing. [Laughter].

the gets up he's got a bloody nose going. back well that was literally right here. like as soon as he did it it was like. who the chop down this the chop down. right here the chop down here do it have. you told him this I love coach DAV man. Dion Dawkins no if you told Coach sa you. thought no I was going to save it for. tomorrow be like hey you don't even know. you I've been watching actual film on. this move we're trying to save it in the. NFL right now because they're calling it. coach Sabin is the [ __ ] man I cannot.

stress that enough for like his stature. of who he is now obviously everywhere he. goes it's just like holy sh everybody. just holy shits holy shits holy shits. but he's just football guy like you know. he's a football guy humble dude and how. much he has invested into doing game day. is. hey you're the man you are the man coach. which is. why you didn't feel that I almost got. you he' had a counter he' have countered. you oh my God yeah as soon as I do that.

what if he does punches me punches me. you guys getting a full you guys get a. quick like 10-second real fight and. you're okay here we go here we go all. right clean it up clean it up take it. off um okay special teams now let's talk. a little bit about that Danny Smith up. for assisting coach of the year right. now for the Steelers yeah so the heart. and soul this Pittsburgh team has been. the defense and the Special Teams block. kicks here's Austin on a punt return for. a. tutty great discipline save it block not. hitting in the back roughing the kicker.

there was one of those I think they pick. yeah they didn't call that huh I saw the. flag didn't they pick it up no that was. uh down legal formation or something on. them okay oh he got blocked it was he. did yeah of course it was says Chuck. special teams will play play. t as so there's two refs right. there pick it up replay assist his. Landing his land L when when they show. yeah that was it cuz when they showed.

the other angle he barely grazed him but. Pat pointed out you got to give him a. spot to land yeah that's like a part of. the rule is you got to give him at least. a place to come back down to earth you. this was in Pittsburgh right thought. this was football it was in Pittsburgh. of course it was there was don't you. even think about it play right again. even are you kidding me you want to get. out of here all right let's go to. Cleveland shall we come on let's look at. the brownies they got a weapon Judy. allegedly he was going to the Jets right. yeah yeah for alen Lazard but they said.

and a second who who nicked it uh. Ambassador. Johnson this guy's got his he's in these. guys hands and everything D if you're. going to leave how you going. to like if you're planning on going like. I don't think you got you got I don't. think it's run very well no I don't. think so to to be fair alen lazard's. been like one of their few bright spots. yeah exactly so then him trying to kind. of went down the [ __ ] when Lazard got. placed on the IR Lazard was fun to watch.

always has been always has that. touchdown against the ners week one on. the uh off sides thought we had it for. did you see the one he had on these. dudes last week oh I see this one here. from J am I thinking right a great throw. look at. this big game for for Judy they're going. to need him to come up big weather the. way it is though you just assume yeah. you can throw him a screen too he's. quick as a cat and when he gets the ball. see C run after. catch what a ball jamus threw for 400. yards. 395 jeez Lise yeah all right let's go to.

another offens of. weapon Moore Elijah Mo another jet. another jet jamus Winston extended to. play with his legs they're blaming Joe. de for this Joe de drafted some good. people up there he's on the street right. would he let him go. mhm he draft this guy's doing well here. yeah I don't want to hear that to get. rid of him I was with j d and Baltimore. did you know that no he comes from that. tree with Aussie and them you like J D. unbelievable dude J D's got me pretty.

good SM great football he's a football. guy I I said I I want to bat for J D. pretty good you would love J D well I I. think J D knows that I went to bat for. him pretty good you know and then I also. threw another GM who happens to be. pretty good very good gin's under the. bus in the same sentence you know and. and here we are just a couple years. later and uh boy that. got that got thrown in my fa you talked. to Joe D let him know hey it was an. honor yeah went to battle with it was an. honor to go it was an honor to go. through that and I think what we're all.

learning about the Jets from those of us. that didn't grow up caring about any New. York teams or New York sports. radio or New York anything sure which. there are those people that exist I know. there's some people that don't know that. this Jets Ste is [ __ ] yeah they just. going to suck forever ever well unless. they put in the JJ rule uh JJ rule true. oh yeah if you lose 15 years straight no. playoff wins you got to sell the team. that is not a bad that is not a bad rule.

I was kind of down with it me too I. think you know who wouldn't be though be. a problem because they're the ones that. would have to voted in all all all 31. yeah so let me get this straight I might. vote myself out of this cash cow just. because we're oh it's fun okay it's. going to be a no for me good luck. getting 24 votes in this entire you know. it's stupid and it's set up so that. teams that. struggle you pick first you got the. easiest schedules sure you're supposed. to like eventually come around trying.

the league is trying to make you better. but you just can't do it what was it 21. years we saw was that the Raiders when. we pulled that out dos Dolphins 21 until. last year the lions were over 30 years. holy [ __ ] the difference was when Sheila. Ford Hamp took over and then all this. happened yeah the Bengals Browns and um. lions were up there for a long long time. and they got off the Stein so now it's. Dolphins dude I um definition of.

purgatory I love that rule here it is 23. years Dolphins Raiders 21 years. commanders 18 but they got new ownership. yeah and they made it to the playoffs. not too long ago they got beat by the. Bucks and the you know damn near beat. him the year the Bucs went to the Super. Bowl Chicago Bears not just make. right that's a win which is what I think. what JJ was saying and I think he said. 20 years as opposed to 15 years I. dropped that thing down to 15 like if. we're going to do it let's actually do. it but that'll never get passed no ever.

so it's all just that's fun though fa. tale land is fine how about the kids of. owners better keep an eye on NFL teams. that's good for that congratulations 85. for the Browns from play what's that. brother he's an alien in joku uh tends. to have play well against Steelers yes. he does was he's kind of been their. Kryptonite. yes he's another one like if you can't. find Fields tug anytime TDY let's go. ahead and lay a little bit on in joku.

okay so that's three touchdowns how many. guys are scoring tonight fire fs and. joku sounds over sounds like you like. the over 36 and a half is the uh I'd. like the under okay 17 174 now if you. parlay 1710 you can get a touchdown and. a field goal by uh I like that you're. predicting every human that's going to. score there's no no other he's just. scratching getting one winner today we. know that. scratching just like I said yeah you're.

right I think he see in the field yeah I. think he watched more film this week. because of the schneid dit on I think. he's saying this is all so obvious to me. with the gambling algorithm if you were. to Parlay three guys to score with the. under it would be [ __ ] massive let's. go Chuck let's go we can't get the. and joku though and. under mhm yeah so that's two touchdowns. anded under that's still I like that I. think the odds would still be pretty. good on that that.

particular plus watch happen what is it. plus 11,000 100 to win 11 11,000 for in. joku fire MTH and under yeah who. couldn't use that this time of the year. yeah yourself a couple turkeys okay now. there's a guy that's going to be. stopping touchdowns from happening miles. Garett this guy is phenomen he's like. he's like TJ on the other side right you. better have a plan these guys tried to. get two on him and it doesn't matter. Thursday night in Cleveland I was going. say let's hope he keeps his helmet on I. think he it might. happen he went after Mason with that.

baby I guess we because we brought it up. to there's a chance we never get him on. the show again I guess you because it. was any of our decision to [ __ ] Bonk. Mason Rudolph on the head with the. helmet he should do it again tonight do. it to rck don't do it to R you imagine. Russell's helmet get ripped off you're. not getting that off no. no how about him scurrying to run away. that would that would be like there. would be like an angel in the Outfield. situation come down and stop that helmet. foring God himself might come down TBO.

drops into Angels in the Outfield H yeah. it's got me I've never seen a person. dressed like a bigger [ __ ] than Conor. yesterday did you see what he was. wearing no oh my God was he wearing an. angel in the Outfield he had a soft. shirt on he had a softball shirt on for. a team that he played for what was the. name of the team uh we were the virgins. nice The Virgins in the Outfield here. I'm going to send this quot over so we. uh made our jerseys look like the Angels.

in the Outfield and that just has. virgins on it I respect that they were. making fun of us calling us virgin so we. said okay fine we will be the Virgin we. are virgin so what zto I just sent it to. you if you want to um get this up there. because it should be talked about just. everything from I'm looking at this. photo look at this guy everything socks. don't match shorts asinine shirt says. virgins and then just look how about. some CF raises any I'm trying trying.

he's s to say hey The Virgins in the. Outfield fell victim to a wagon. yesterday I mean absolutely but the. virgins in the Outfield are also. Champions so oh in softball oh yeah are. those boxer shorts or normal shorts. those are those are uh bird dogs I've. had for so long that they just lost all. color it just that red stri they used to. be red. yeah kind of well you got to show off. those quads especially whenever you're. doing a stair master and uh I'll tell. you what your distraction ability. dressed like that was high me and Foxy. locked in that b foxy we had a good week.

we really did me and Foxy have got back. to form AJ we've gotten back to form. yeah and I'm going to be honest there. was some internal questioning going on. for me if we were ever going to get back. to form true and just keep shooting. always keep shooting y well I was and it. wasn't going in that was the that was. the thing are you guys getting are how. like are you guys getting a decent. amount of points off of. tips yes that's actually where I think. we win yes AJ I mean if you can find it. and you're you're willing to hustle you. can get some points oh yeah and that's. why you know a couple weeks ago you said.

yeah you got to be able to read where. the rebounds it's like thank you AJ. thank you yes that's I I you can't take. that for granted because I realize some. people don't do that they don't watch. the fight of the ball not in a. Thunderdome not in 33 if you're doing. that you're losing cuz uh if you. sacrifice a underneath it's going to. come back and get you the games have. been two-point games literally coming. down to it every single time every. game's been close and the belt has gone. back and forth so many times it's a. title and it will remain with us it will. it will remain with us for for the.

foreseeable future we are we are in our. Roman Reigns era right now we are all. right uh let's not forget the other. match that took place couple Bears B. bear on the court yesterday oh I heard. debone who is um I guess he's one in. like a 100 I guess in games in the. Thunderdome yep he's actually driving. forklift right now yeah he's dressed. like what he dressed like he's working. outside like he's a construction worker. he has a car heart fur vest on top of a.

hoodie with a beanie on so I've never. seen anything like it inside he's got a. water break after it even Chuck exactly. even Chuck has not dressed as such in. there so debone is certainly unique we. will say he is a unique person so he's. like one in a hundred in here in games. okay and uh that one was to me and Foxy. so we have to kind of we have to live. with that um he won two because me and.

debone and also beat you and Foxy okay. so he's two and 100 me and Foxy have to. live with. that back to back days back to back days. so sorry I tried to eliminate that. second one it's even more of an. embarrassment but nonetheless so he is a. competitive individual you know he's a. competitive person so like 24 year old. classic you know we we've only been. running this company for seven years we. kind of have a way of doing things here. he comes he goes we got to play. one-on-one I want to play one-on-one. with people you want to play one-on-one. cuz he's trying to get what yeah he.

wants to play one-on-one basketball in. here okay and it's like all right we're. we're not doing that like the reason why. we play the game is because we don't. want to do the running so yesterday he. got AQ he said uh you want to play one1. AQ and AQ obviously just dog yeah I will. actually so AQ though. 38 years old okay debone 24 4 in taller. definitely longer reach younger than. this but we all knew that AQ would. rather die than lose to this game okay.

especially in basketball boy they came. out it supposed to be to five then the. first couple series they were really. going hard we're talking about jostling. underneath full. on turn around spin fade z0 5 minutes. into this thing neither neither one of. them can breathe okay they're now. they're completely gassed debone starts. trying one-legged one-handed Runners. because he's tired I mean it was fun to. watch oh it was we did we we sat it was. a probably 13 minutes to get to three.

points AQ won three nothing I mean it. was just it was but it was a battle ofs. I thought you were going to say they. they were going to play to five but they. ended up playing to like 15 but no they. actually ended up playing to three three. yeah it was a quick agreement uh about 7. Minutes in when it was 0 still like you. want to play three instead maybe one you. do this entire thing but uh. three-pointers were two AQ stole one. sure and then he was up two nothing and. then all of a sudden he he saw blood in. water but there was a chance a fist.

fight was going to that's how that game. was going to end and I don't think Debo. knew that like I I don't think Debo knew. like really he didn't understand yeah. yeah you know you challenge AQ yeah it. could end badly so foxy talked about. this foxy and dbut used to play. oneon-one and they played a three and. foxy would get up two nothing and then. debut would 32 you know a lot of games. too exactly yeah and and like debone I. like Foxy said that because I told dbone. I said dbone AQ was never gonna lose to. you just just want to let you know that.

like that was either ending in a full. fist fight and that game is unfinished. or AQ was gonna win and then foxy told. that story about dbud he was like I was. up two nothing then debu comes back and. wins 3-2 and debone goes yeah it's like. when I play against Matt Brown I'm like. debone you [ __ ] don't shut up what. we're saying wait what's that does that. against Bruce yeah well we don't know. because we don't see that game but I'm. saying he said that yeah he he thought. he was a professional athlete is what we.

were trying to we were trying to let him. know like hey there's levels to this. whole thing you know like when people. say like I hate losing it's like okay do. you do you ha it enough to AQ would drop. bombs he's going to knock you. out that is and D was never going to. lose to Foxy no foxy would be on his way. massive foul is coming I mean there is. no what are you fight is that what. you're going to do do you want to check. ball okay that's what I thought you were. taking free throws like that like there. was no chance it was going to happen and.

uh I I hope dbone gets play AQ again but. boy the boys re tired I mean it was Bol. yeah debone said he ripped the quad off. the bone maybe blimping around him here. today he was trying his best he was. trying his best they were going at it we. got insurance are these guys covered. yeah I mean we got uh onsite insurance I. don't know if they were to both go into. cardiac. arrest still on his parents we got a we.

do got a defib shout out to Demar Hamlin. in the NFL for sending us those we threw. his entire thing it's right there in the. gym we should have had we should have. had those but now that they're here. thank God because yesterday was. potentially a need for them yeah right. there above the Grinch m it's almost. time it is almost time mhm shout to. tomor all right it is time for you to. make a pick feels like everything you. have said don't [ __ ] this up has led us. to believe that you like the Pittsburgh. Steelers a lot tonight Steelers are. favored by three and a half in Cleveland.

AFC North battle on Thursday night Chuck. who do you like that record scares you a. little bit but I think they get off the. snides night this they're just the. better team top to bottom so I'm taking. Steelers I'll give the points all right. okay he says that the Pittsburgh. Steelers against a divisional opponent. on the road on Thursday night get off. the schneid tonight and he's going to do. it alongside of them he has lost four. straight I believe so yeah four straight. six and one and six and five now right. at some point you got to get back to oh.

it's cold go eyes cold that's not just. because it's cold in Cleveland it's. because his. pcks free. sh ice. ice iy C. I uh okay so he's on Steelers minus. three and a half AJ who do you like how. do you like it I so it's three and a ton. are you surprised that it's only three. and a half do you think it might be more. no division game on the road short week.

no I figured it okay should be eight all. I think sure I don't know what it should. be but I'm taking the Steelers and the. Steelers to cover here I'm not I don't. know the the elements are going to cause. something I think you're going to feed n. and then Russ is going to throw a few of. his patented Moon balls whatever you. want to call it te will have an impact. for sure give me the Steelers what's up. tone I just had to give a one one moment. to I cuz I think Pizza Hut's here yeah. that's that the driver the driver's. looking at man looks like his back is. about to break too that's a lot of pizza. yeah well we appreciate that we.

appreciate that hey bone hey bone bone. on the Hop bone front door front door. can we get eyes on bone too with the way. he's dressed so we can so the people can. see how he is dressed as if he is. working is he limping I forgot about the. quad yeah he might not be able to get. out bone might asleep I mean Bruce was. halfway there bone went out the why'd he. go outside that bone what the [ __ ] we. got rules here bones a I think he parked. his forklift out front un no it's bone. and talk there out front it's the.

meeting of the Mind out there well as. long as that pizza gets in here cu no. one yeah and we mean no one how pizzas. and now they're locked out they can't. get in yeah they don't have their keys. they're going to have to go around. awesome way to go boys I'll tell you. what oh yes when people write stories. about this particular business in the. future people are going to be baffled. mhm about who as they should. be. yeah thank you I'm happy talk said you. know what I'll handle this yeah without.

a Cod he's gonna catch a cold he's. probably gonna come back in sniffling oh. yeah fingers are black yeah the are. going frost bite all right um at the. beginning of the show I said three and a. half was too much but after everything. that I've learned and. I am also on the Pittsburgh Steelers. minus three and a half this evening. feels like this is a different. Pittsburgh Steelers team that's just uh. it feels that way now granted I said. that about Penn State whenever they. played against Ohio State I said this. feels like a different time a different.

year a different team and then Ohio. State beats Ben State just like they. would over the year before and the year. before that and a year before that and a. year before that in that particular game. so maybe my feelings have not been great. I have been seeing the field pretty well. here in the NFL on this one I am very. conflicted though this one is a tough. one I think because of everything that's. at stake because it is an AFC North. rivalry game because the weather is. going to be shite yes sh three and a. half feels like a. lot but 2420 is a win mhm.

yep I would take the Pittsburgh Steelers. minus three and a half oh you like the. Browns I mean I just think this is a. nightmare game I that's what I'm saying. this is a it sucks for you guys but I I. probably would I would probably take. take the Browns yeah plus three and a. half if this game was on Sunday no one's. picking it yeah this is a stay away game. except for us AJ cuz that's we pick them. all that's what we do we'll do it we D. they're beat up they are beat up you. don't have to keep talking you made your.

pick already I don't want my friends to. lose no he's not betting he's betting on. parlay yeah I'm only I'm just going to. do [ __ ] chub not a lot of people are. signing up to bet this game because this. is a weird the weather and everything. like that a full chub we just do it. because it is a full chub MH mhm it is. full chub night um speaking of full. chubs do you want to get one of those. and maybe give 30 people 500 bucks by. winning a contest here be a good time of. year to do it why not right before the. holidays yeah oh it would help with. Thanksgiving and then Christmas right.

around the corner yeah for um folks that. potentially give bonuses to people uh. before Thanksgiving is the time to give. it you know because it's in time for the. holiday shopping you know some people. give like uh christmasm bonuses. Christmas vacation movie yeah like. that's where a lot of people give. bonuses. I I from my understanding from. chitchatting with people you move that. up a few weeks you really help the. entire entire thing in this so why don't. you win 30 people 500 bucks Chuck why. don't you put a football into a hoop. which way are you going to be throwing. you pal okay regardless Smart near hoop.

near hoop now did you warm up before the. show started I did not a couple how'd it. go really good okay Chuck said he's. feeling really good Ball's coming out. he's spinning it Jim Harbaugh say coach. really spinning it today wow I a way to. spin it way to fire that thing he's. awesome coach 30 people 500 bucks a week. out from Thanksgiving why don't you make. some holiday seasons. better boom like you are I like it hey. he's really spilling it today come on. Chuck he's really spilling it today AJ.

Hawks in Ohio he has a a little. motivating message for you before your. next throw Chuck don't worry about. anything any any negativity you're going. to win tonight and you're going to drain. this next shot we know that first one. was a very confident stroke yeah. absolutely there's no negativity needed. at all actually only positivity because. 30 people are about to win 5 $ when. Chuck Pagano puts that football into. that ho there it is man hotall he is. yeah he's throw it's coming out strong. um Gumpy in the back who's a big fan of. yours has a message for you before you.

Canadian profit Bubba gumo right here we. go 30 people f $ 500 alone at the top oh. God good ball good ball though Chuck is. there a cover on that hoop uh Boston. Connor who not notably loves you and. everything about you uh has this message.

to say before you make 30 people's lives. better Co coach you did great today you. didn't [ __ ] about the cold once you. didn't act old you just kind of were. sitting in the pocket having a good show. if you don't make it it's going to ruin. everything no so no no no you had a. great Chate no matter what you make it. and I am pretty pumped that you didn't. [ __ ] about the cold the whole morning I. just it's not bad in here right no no no. it actually has warmed up during the. show and it looking outside with the. snow falling throwing the break there. it's amazing pry nice I thought wow it's. actually pretty good very grateful to be. able to come into this okay all.

VMAs I think so yeah I think yeah they. did it earlier in the summer when's. award season are we in it right now uh I. thought it was after yeah it's typically. it's uh it's going to be in like January. February something's right after the. Super Bowl remember usually like one of.

the stars from the Super Bowl presenting. award maybe at the Oscars I appreciate. the CMA see an opportunity on a. Wednesday night though yeah and doing it. that was R they did let it. rip what they. [ __ ] ripping and running man I didn't. see any maction uh last night that's on. me I need to catch up I have Bobcats and. buffalo bulls well I dard the games yeah. smart move skipped the commercial it was. good I have my my thing set up to DVR. all college football games yeah stage.

and then all of a sudden Tuesdays and. Wednesdays games start happening you. know I'm like scrolling through I'm like. God damn I'm really testing the the. limit of this this thing you know I got. to go back and eliminate some but you. know can't can't DVR everything but. college ball is certainly worthy of the. caseo need to come back so like. something will show up on a game day. sheet like hey this is what the show is. going to be pop on that DVR let me go. find this thinge you know what I mean. just go ahead and do my thing that's my. research I don't want to give it too big. of a glimpse behind the curtain sure.

yeah little pxy but DVR is a it's huge. it's a huge thing because they don't. just have a service or a server that has. all their [ __ ] [ __ ] on it like the. NFL all the games are findable NFL Plus. premium NFL pro it's like that is where. YouTube TV comes in big the way just any. like anything you record it cataloges it. so so nice I need to get in with YouTube. it's great it's the move all right I. will I absolutely.

will it's going to be hard to say. goodbye to yesterday though is you know. yeah hear. you YouTube TV is so much better I've. had both it was pretty easy all right. hey all right let's roll I went through. the it's a couple days and then you're. like thank God I did this yeah actually. that's exactly what it is that's exactly. what it is all right so F like I like. how things are I know how things are I. know how to run this okay change is hard.

I'm comfortable that is take take a leap. do it oh my God yeah and you save a lot. of money it's a new world it's a new. world I need to get in there I will I. will and obviously I got the Direct TV. uh Red Zone I got the that on YouTube TV. Sunday tiet but that's literally I only. go over there for that sure and then I. don't go back yeah which is wild so I. have it already you're saying I need to. dabble it's so much better make the leap. full time all right I will you know what. deal boom deal boom boom you got.

it shake left you I'm not shaking left. hand I'm not shaking left hand what an. [ __ ] I'm making all right 30 people. $500 chuck if you ever put put that. football into that hoop right over there. 30 people one week out from Thanksgiving. will be $500. richer oh my God these are your best. perform I thought you had no. chance these are by far your best throws. you need to know that by far your best.

throws seems like it's had a shot yeah. in past weeks maybe months of this it's. look terrible yeah bad but there's a. guarantee I think that this one's going. in and uh Tai Schmid actually has. something to say to you yeah coach I'd. hate for you know some of these families. who are basically relying on you right. now to be able to get a nice turkey. dinner for Thanksgiving to have to eat I. don't know scrap so to be clear winners. won't be announced till Wednesday and. then they will not be paid until after. Thanksgiving okay so we we go ahead and.

Christmas christas Christmas H there go. also maybe consider using the backboard. coach I I like the aggressive approach. just going right at at it but it it. ain't working use the backboard he's. finally dialed got motivation and. coaching from one particular message 30. people to win 500 he finally dial don't. do. that you know listen sometimes doesn't. work I appreciate that you're taking. coaching I do but don't just you got to.
