Damn it. Tell your friend. Tell your. friend something nice could change their. life. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode. The thunderdown on. this new rose Tuesday April 1st 2021. This program starts now. sports are happening all around us and. obviously we're incredibly lucky to get. a chance to chat about it every single. day. Last night I was in London. What a.

wonderful town. Actually had a blast. Shout to Wade Barrett being an. incredibly hospitable host and all the. points that we had slammed around the. Tempame's River and such. It was a great. raw. It was a great atmosphere. It was a. great crowd. Then I got a chance to fly. back here to Indianapolis, Indiana. When. I woke up this morning, holy hell, we're. in a new world. There's a bunch of new. rules happening in the NFL down at the. league meetings happening down in. Florida where the weather looks. spectacular, the hands have been shaken, and there's been one particular rule. that has been talked about all week, maybe all season, where one team is.

better than everybody else at one team. might be tougher than everybody else. One team needs to be punished and no. longer allowed to do the tush push. Well, they uh went ahead and put a pin. in that. They're going to circle back in. May. Allegedly, it was a split decision, a split room. 16 for the ban, 16 against. the ban. They will further discuss it in. May, they will say. Now, if they're. doing that, people around uh the. internet and listen, hey, let's you know. the internet, especially today. Mhm.

Let's keep our head on a swivel. April 1 on the internet is a uh it's a. wild place. Oh, yeah, it is. Especially. with the AI nowadays. Sure. Don't be. don't be getting fooled, okay? Don't be. thinking there's a palm tree extra point. upright. Okay, for FAU sounds cool. It. looked neat. Yeah, it did. But there's. gonna be a lot of that. But what. everybody. I mean I put this tweet up. Oh no. Uh. just to out myself as somebody who.

looked at this and thought to myself, this is. awesome. And uh then you know Connor. looks over at me goes are we sure this. is real on April 1? And then that's when. you see the Oh no. Oh no. I fell for. this. Uh I hope that Coastal Carolina. isn't doing an April Fools because I I I. learned about this yesterday. There's no. Did they do a preappril? Ladies and. gentlemen, Coast Carolina football team. announced this just yesterday on the. internet. Don't know how this works.

What's up, boss? Hey, how's it going? Good. What's the damage? Free. Free. Well, what about for this? Free as well. Free. All of it? Free? You want some. nachos? Yeah. Free, too. All free. All. free. Free. Can I get 50 of these? Yeah. Free. Free. What about a drink? All of. it. Free. Free. Have two drinks. Drinks. And a hot dog. Yeah. Hot dogs free, too. All free. There you go. Free. Free. Sweet. That's right, Till Nation. This. fall in Brooks Stadium. Every fan, every.

game. Always free. Free concessions. Popcorn, nachos, hot dog, fountain. drinks, and water for every fan this. fall. Come out to Brook Stadium. Get. your tickets now and cheer on the Shots. Go Shots. Hey Bob, I don't know who you. are, but you you're going to see a visit. from us. I mean, we're going to test. this thing. There has to be some sort of. living in this guy in the country. I. mean, it's going to be tough to keep the. homeless out of there. Uh, obviously. getting a free meal and free drink for. not only yourself, but maybe the next. week could be an opportunity for some to. take advantage of down there. But.

nonetheless, I thought this then I. thought the palm trees. I'm like, college ball is becoming minor league. baseball. I love what we're doing. I. don't know how that's going to work out. for them. I honestly I I genuinely in a. time where everybody's trying to get. money for the uh NIL stuff and trying to. figure it all out. They're like, "Let's. go the opposite direction. Let's give. away everything everything." And uh if. they fill that place up, they're. thinking merch, maybe there'll be. purchases and ticket sales obviously. going to go up. There has to be a limit. One drink, one food item. I don't know. because I saw that guy.

That guy had two drinks, a hot dog, nachos, and everything else on there. So. I I. Palm Tree is not real. We believe that. was that was in March for week one at. least. Okay. So anyways, that's. happening. Uh Roger Goodell allegedly if. something gets tabled for another. meeting, it is something that he is. looking to potentially further explore, which means hey, we are going to have to. figure this thing out. And maybe it does. just go down to one person's allowed to. push in May. Or maybe it just remains.

the same. And if it does, the. Philadelphia Eagles will continue to. take a victory lap because not only uh. are they the ones that are going to be. the loudest about this because they've. had the most success, they won a Super. Bowl with this play being a massive. piece of their team, their fans are. loud. The social media, I don't know if. you saw uh the Philadelphia Eagles just. posted uh on their Twitter, a peach with. a push on it, and just say, "Hey, Tush. Push is ours. It survives another day.". Yep, there it is. But there's been a lot. of rules that have changed. We'll. chitchat about that. There's a lot going. on in the sport of baseball, which I did. not expect us to chitchat about as much.

as we have thus far. Hockeyy's. happening. Obviously, records are on the. line. And college basketball in the. middle of its biggest time. Today should. be a fantastic day. Peter Shreger will. be joining us, the newest member of the. ESPN team. He was formerly at NFL. Network and at Fox. Now he will be. joining ESPN as a ESPN NFL. representative. Shreger, old friend of. ours, obviously an Emmy award winner. cannot wait to see him uh back or I. don't know if he's ever been with ESPN. so and uh we can't wait to chat with.

him. Talk tables here at Boston Connor. at Ty Schmidt one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP Tone is here. Uh Tone I see. you wearing the Steelers hoodie which is. perfect for 9-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here looking very cool. Uh. Pittsburgh Steelers Aaron Rogers DK. Mechaf playing catch. Uh I've seen a lot. of conversation about that still. happening. What do you think the final. outcome is? uh opening day of the NFL. season, who's quarterback for the. Pittsburgh Steelers? Aaron Rogers. Yeah, for sure. But yeah,

I think Aaron I mean that just looking. at it, I don't see I know people are. still talking Vikings and hanging out. there. I don't see that happening. I see. Aaron Rogers being the starting. quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hopefully that announcement doesn't come. today been that it is April Fools, but I. think it is coming at some point before. the draft. But that's just me. I'm sure. most people probably feel like that cuz. I don't think we none of us up here. think he's going to retire. Yeah. Well, especially after this workout at UCLA. Now, Amen Culture and uh Ari uh Pulley.

NFL uh got this video in the photos. He's wearing all black. Mhm. You know, Pittsburgh Steelers obviously black and. gold team throwing to DK Metaf. Doesn't. seem to be throwing to anybody else. Seemed to be in rhythm. This obviously. comes after a meeting that he took in. Pittsburgh AP Tone. Whenever you see the. photos and you see the video, do you. start fantasizing? Because I saw people. even analyzing Aaron Rogers's hand size. on the internet. I saw a tweet that.

goes, we go from Kenny Pickicket's hand. size to Aaron Rogers hand size on the. football. It feels like everything that. comes out gets Steelers fans either more. excited or make a decision already. We're sick of waiting on this guy. Yeah, it's a little bit of both. This actually. kind of pissed me off quite a bit. What? We're being We're being honest. That. makes sense. What I What are we doing? Okay, you're out here throwing with DK, parading around. Sign on the dotted line. already. What? Like parading? What is. parading around? He wanted to see if DK.

could catch before he wanted to join the. Steelers or what the situation here is. If he doesn't sign at this point, oh. boy. But um No. But as But you know, oh. boy, what? Oh boy, what? What was this. for then? What was it? just to piss. everybody off. Maybe they're both in Los. Angeles. Just to get your name in the. lights. No. What? You don't You don't. think? Maybe they just so happened to be. in Los Angeles and Amen. Culture was. right around the corner and they said, "Let's go get a workout in. Why not? There's a chance. Maybe uh we could be.

teammates. A lot of people talk about. it. Everybody's talking about it. Look. how happy they are. Big smiles. Yeah. So. they so they should make it official and. be teammates." But no, but then I. thought, you know, this is where Tom was. working out before he went to Tampa and. won the Super Bowl. And I see Aaron. Yeah. And I see him throwing to DK and. and I picture him in the jerseys. I I. see I see eight throwing to four. Okay. Many many touchdowns like I assume he'd. be eight. Why not? How'd you feel about. the backwards hat? I love the back. Love. it. Love it. Great house, baby. That's. just hot. Watching that thing come out. too. Still spinning it, you know, just. like at the end of the year. It is. Uh I.

thought there would be more wide. receivers, you know. GP Rap. Well, I I. don't know if he's just setting up full. offseason workouts for the Pittsburgh. Steelers, but I thought there would be. more of a collection of wide receivers. Like I thought DK Mechaf would be there, but also like a two or a three from. another team would also be working out. and we're all making a big deal out of. it just being DK Mechaf and Aaron. Rogers. Then the photos come out and. it's like Amen Cultures out there. Yep. Okay. Aaron's out there and DK Mechaf.

Do we know who set it up? Was it was it. Aaron? Was it Amen Cultures? DK. So. Aaron just hit up. Do they have the same. representation or what's the I don't. know if it was for sure to be honest. Uh. I don't know if anybody does but you. know your quarterback quarterbacks. normally are the ones that organize it. I assume yeah Aaron called to the moon. and uh the moon answered and the moon. called the DK. I mean if I'm George. Pickkins I'm I'm raising hell in. Pittsburgh. He might have been invited. He might have been down in Florida. If. George got invited he would have been. there. So if I'm GP I'm saying you know.

what Aaron go to hell. I'm I'm shipping. somewhere else brother. trade me right. now. And and guess what? I'm going to. make a fuss about it. I'm going to make. a big old fuss about it cuz people are. wondering if we were going to be able to. coexist. Yeah. Hey, guess what? I can. coexist with DK. I can't coexist with. this hippie cuz he can't even send me a. text or call to the moon for me. And. plus, at the end of the day, look at. those look at Aaron's arms. The guy's. kind of jacked up. Has he been has he. been lifting a little bit more? Has he. been working out? Maybe got a a new. better trainer perhaps? Maybe he's kind.

of on his on the up and up when it comes. to his physique because good lord the. man looks jacked if if I'm pissed. He. might be taking a different strategy on. the body. Look, I don't know. Look at. the veins in his arms, the forearms. I. mean, this does look like a mar in. heaven. Okay, maybe potentially. But the. more I see of it, I'm like, "Oh, this is. definitely uh Hey, so he once he went. into the Pittsburgh Steelers UPMC. practice facility. I I wonder if he had. a meal there, too. Just to full out. maybe. First time ever being a free agent.

First time ever getting a chance to like. learn about what I'm going to. potentially sign up for. Allegedly, the. money's been figured out. And it is all. good. Now it's just what does he want to. do? And watching that video, it's like I. don't think he's retiring. No way. You're backwards hat in the middle of a. workout. Exactly. I don't think you're. retiring at that point. And he's moving. smooth. Remember, end of the season, a. little bit more healthy on that uh. Achilles. I think they looked a lot. different. I just like we all kind of. assumed even though it was always. dangling there. There's no way he's. going out like that with the Jets. You.

know, there's no way that's happened. Seems to be a formality here happening. inevitably. But what if it doesn't? Don't say it. Better not be. Better not. be. He could have called Justin. Jefferson. He didn't. He called DK. Mecca. Just saying. Good point. Good point. Fair point. What. are the Vikings saying? There's a lot of. things being said down at the owners. meetings down in Florida. A lot of. cheddar uh chitter chatter. A lot of. hanging out. Jay Glazer was with every. head coach. Everybody smoking cigars. Jay Glazer football. That is Jay Glazer. football. I wonder what Jay was bringing. the boys around for. You know, if you. look to Jay Glazer's video that he.

posted uh on social right next to him, Dan Quinn and obviously you got. Shanahan, McDaniel, KOC, those are the. boys, the the McVey boys. You know, then. you kind of go around scatter through I. think maybe some newer coaches further. away from Jay Glazer. The closer you are. to Jay Glazer obviously the better you. are. Then Andy Reed's right next to him. And I do want a pretty cool day. Jay. Glazer says I could fathom. I could. imagine. I do wonder what the meeting of. the minds is happening here at owners. meetings because just like at the. combine obviously they're watching and. scouting and doing that but it's the. conversations that are happening off.

hours that are kind of getting. everything done here at the combine free. agency and stuff. I wonder how many. offhour conversations are taking place. down there amongst the coaches about. like, hey, we need to try to work on. this together to better the league. We. need to do this or hey, who can hammer. the most amount of beers here? I like a. good camaraderie setting and I'm happy. Jay Glazer is seemingly the guy bringing. them together. Yeah, I he's obviously. holding the court. That's that's Glazer. football. Interested to see what what he. breaks um at some point. But these are, you know, a lot of conversations happen.

We talk about it always being a. fraternity amongst players. Same way. with coaches. I'm sure this is when some. of the conversations may happen about. maybe, hey, I just got a free agent from. your team. Maybe some more conversations. about the quarterback or receiver, how. he's going to be in a locker room or in. the community, other coaches, other. people in their new spots putting ro uh. their coaching staffs together. So, uh, all these kind of conversations are. happening. Obviously, these rules that. that have been voted upon that will be. passed, won't be passed, will be tabled. So, all these things are happening, but. I'm excited to see what Glaze comes out.

with pretty soon here. On that note, a. man who's been in that circle before, guy has been in every circle before, I. believe. If we, if I recall the story. correctly, um, he like slept on people's. couches down in like the senior bowl. whenever he was getting in went to. school down in Georgia. Very, very, uh, emory. Uh, I think so. I think it's like uh, yeah, very prestigious. Tough to get. into. I think it's very selective. very.

very you need to know the right people. Yeah. I don't think it's just an easy. Okay. Yeah. I I would I don't think I'm. anywhere near uh getting in there or. whatever. Anyways, chose to take the. long road uh in the NFL media world. Insider, analyst, pundit, uh mock. drafter, handshaker, Emmy award winner. is what inevitably it all led to with. Good Morning Football. Now he is joining. ESPN, an absolute legend. Ladies and. gentlemen, front of the program, Peter. Shreger.

What up, Shreds? Dude, what an awesome. intro. Uh, I cannot believe you're on. air and fine after being in London like. last night where I was watching you. I. don't You're incredible, dude. I love. it. No, that's you, Shreds. And uh to be. quite uh. transparent for those that have the. ability and if there's a direct flight, London at like a nighttime flight, you. land in the morning, like 7:30, 8:00. a.m. Have a day. Then whenever you fly, if you can fly back at night, you land.

5:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. in the morning. So. you're in there. I think if you stay for. a few days and you get on to their uh. time, I think you're in trouble. But I. think if you just go in stick and move. cuz I did with Scotland last week, you. know, I had to get back cuz uh Mr. Lebron James uh was going to stop by the. Thunderdome. So that's been actually fun. to get over there. I I assume you've. traveled to Europe numerous times. I. have had a blast. It was very very nice. over there. Very nice. It's amazing. And. I don't know, and I don't know how the. wrestling fans are, but like we go for.

the NFL games and they just want sports. and they want the NFL. And I was. watching you on on Raw and it's like. it's the same exact thing for the. wrestling obviously. And the juice is a. little different. They're they're not. it's not like they're not spoiled or. anything or like the American sports. fans are spoiled, but they're so. gracious and so happy that you're. bringing your product to them and it's. like, "Oh, come on. This is a dream for. us, too." It's it's truly awesome. And I. thought you were amazing on it. Thank. you. Well, they're born and raised in. the hooligan uh atmosphere, too. You. know, like soccer games, they're singing.

through the game. There's a lot of. action. Even though there's not a lot of. goals being scored, the fans, I don't. want to say, have to generate the juice, but they kind of do, and they carry that. into everything. It's almost like the. Pacific Northwest, you know, like the. Pacific Northwest, they're going to be. good fans. Bingo. They'll show up for. that. Like, yeah, that is uh Anyways, welcome to ESPN. We're pumped that. you're here. We just showed uh that. video of Jay Glazer kind of sitting. down, chitchatting and mingling down at. the owners meetings. We assume you've. been before, but let's talk about how.

some of these rules get passed that are. currently happening. So, for instance, the tush push, it has been tabled for. May. It has been tabled for May. What. does that mean? Does that mean a. commissioner or some people want to kind. of rally and find some votes? What is. normally happening behind the scenes? I've been doing this for a long time as. far as like the competition committee. goes and usually you'll have a rule. proposed and maybe there'll be two or. three people who are like yes let's do. it and this tush push took on a whole. different life of its own almost like it. was a election of some sort in that.

there were people lobbying other people. for votes. It split 16 to 16 meaning. it's a dead split as to who wants to get. rid of it and who wants to keep it. Now. you would need to get eight more votes. to get rid of it. The league though, you'd think that the league would the. league is one of the main sources of. like, hey, we don't have any injury data. to push that it has to be removed. Like. if this was a bunch of injuries and guys. were getting concussed and we have data, hard empirical evidence that there are.

knees being shattered because of this. thing, well then I promise you the. league would be pushing that direction. They don't have that data. There is no. data around it. What's interesting is. you've got some big personalities who. are lobbying to see some changes and. it's a different, you know, breed of. coaches. It's McVey, it's Lafleur, Raheem Morris, these guys. And I talked. to like this tush push. It's gross. It's. crap. Like, it's not it's not rugby.

What? Yeah, it's a scrum shreds, you. know? It's an ode to the past while. still paying tribute to today. the. modern athlete takes on old school. sport. And to your point, whenever. Philly lines up and does it, it's like, okay, they're going to pick up two to. four yards here and uh they're going to. get a first down. So, they're playing. like CFL football. It is first and nine. for them and they have three downs. basically to get to that. And I think. that's kind of their big point, right? Is if it was so easy, everybody would do.

it. Do we think more people now if this. thing remains will start to try to. implement it or how do you see it kind. of going if the rule doesn't change. going forward? Well, that's an age-old. debate. Jeff Stoutman and the boys in. Philly have mastered this thing and. teams have tried and they have not. succeeded. And one of the interesting. people who's really against it is Shawn. McDermott, who's on the who's on the. committee. And of course, Shawn. McDermott ran several different. quarterback sneaks in a big AFC. Championship game that got stuffed uh. you know, one yard short. And a lot of.

people are saying right, hey, just. because you can't do it, don't don't get. rid of it. And Mcderman's point is, no, that's an injury waiting to happen and. this thing is hideous. Like it seeing. Frankie Luvu jump over the line of. scrimmage four times and having a ref. come out and be like, "Look, I'm just. going to give him a touchdown." That's. not fun. That's not great. But if you're. an Eagles fan, you're like, you know, come and stop us. Like, figure it out. And it's the whole thing about machismo. and bravado and it becomes this thing of. like testosterone and like, you know, we're the we're the bullies in town. I. almost think it's kind of cool if they. get rid of it and the Eagles can look at.

each other be like, "We're that good at. this if they had to ban it from the. league." Yeah. The Philadelphia Eagles. doing this and being the team um is so. perfect for their city. I mean, it's so. perfect. Sorry, we're too tough. Okay. Sorry you John's aren't gritty enough to. be able to stop us. It's like what a. perfect city. Perfect coach, too. Siri, dogs. We want dogs. Sorry, our dogs are. hungrier than your dogs, you know. O. line, Dline, Howie, that's all he cares. Like it is such a perfect situation. And.

that's my that's also my favorite aspect. of this. Howie obviously didn't play. college or professional football. How's. you know this brilliant mind, but like. talking to Howie about like he's got his. chest out a little bit like oh poor. babies. Like you guys can't a little bit. of that and that bleeds throughout the. entire city and it goes right through to. Miles Teller and Bradley Cooper and the. fans that you see like we're just. tougher than you. like bring it and you. know you see these coaches and McVey is. obviously he's you know you saw him in.

Witworth in the gym like he's no softy. but he's like it's just not good. football it's gross like it's a rugby. play I don't no one that's not what we. want to encourage but it's now split and. as far as whether it'll get changed I. don't think the NFL in this one has a. strong point of view it's going to be. how hard do these people want to lobby. to get the eight votes and then it. becomes like any election where like are. you going to go campaign like is McVey. going to spend Maine uh the next April. in May like calling other coaches who. are neutral and being like I really I. don't know if he's that passionate about.

it. Okay, so let's roll through the. rules that did pass here quickly. Kickoff will now go to the 35 after a. touchback which is good. Kickers also. are allowed to bring their own balls. into the games which is awesome. Look. for punters to hit massive balls like ma. this is going to benefit the punters. greatly and obviously kickers as well. But every time a punter goes on the. field, if he's going to have a broken in. ball, there's a chance we see some like. 58 59 hang time, maybe even like a 6o.

hang time in the game. You guys were. punting brand new balls before? No. So. it wasn't brand new balls. It was like. 30 minutes of broken in before the game. The the one equipment manager from each. team was deemed the person to break in. the balls and then an official would. come watch. They had a brush, a towel, and a squirt water bottle and they had. 30 minutes under supervision to break in. the balls. highly anxiety riddled for. the equipment managers who have a lot of. other [ __ ] to deal with right before the. game. And then our guy would come out, his name was Frog. He'd be dripping in. sweat. I got some cool ones for you guys.

today. And we say, "Thank you, Frog.". And then Frog would have a great. Christmas, you know, because that is a. uh that is a big deal. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We take care of Frog. Obviously, Frog, good man. Good lad. Also worked his ass. off in there for 30 minutes every single. week. There's some teams that have. shitty ones. Back in the day, it was. brand new balls. So, there's always been. a lot of Kball conversation. Now they're. going to be able to bring their own. balls to the games. Look for punters to. hit gigantic balls. You know who's you. know who's big on like an advocate for. special teams is Darren Rzzy and he's. got a big voice in the competition. committee. Sozy, of course, the RZ was.

uh obviously the interim coach of the. Saints, but was instrumental in changing. the dynamic kickoff, but when you talk. about the competition committee and the. different voices who matter, obviously. like you know Tomlin's been there. forever and and there's voices like. McVey who's big on that and McDermott, but like a voice like like Darren Rizzy. who's been doing the special teams. stuff, who's now the the Bronco special. teams coordinator. He's almost the voice. of like, hey, here's what the punters. and kickers need. And it's kind of cool. to have that voice also, you know, vocalizing in those rooms. Yeah. I don't. want to say that coach Riz is the one. texting me. Uh, but I'll just say my.

source. that used to be an interim head coach. and is now special teams sent a text. We. [ __ ] did it. It passed. Touchback 35. That was the Texas. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, he's like jacked though. Like. they're like all jacked about it. So, uh, obviously you would love this crew. of like the Parcels guys and it's like. Joe Vit and Shawn Payeyton and Riz like. and they're just like the last bastion. of like the old school like this is how. it should be and and and Baron Rzzy is.

definitely carrying that torch from the. special team side. Okay, so new ball. touchbacks go to 35. We kind of expected. that. Hopefully that'll be uh good for. the landing zone and more returns. They. also were able to add another returner. into the back into the middle area which. is good. Replay assist. Let's talk about. this shreggs. This was kind of happening. last year at the end of the year I think. without us kind of knowing it. They were. kind of growing it, expanding it and I. think it was good for the game. Uh they. saw the same thing. What does this mean. you think from your eyes? And what does. the future mean in your eyes with this.

rule change? Well, I think Kevin's on it. here and some context on this. They're. not going to have New York throw a flag. like New York can't say actually that. was pass interference or actually that. was defensive holding. New York can't do. that. But if a flag is thrown and it's. egregious, New York City can come and. pipe into the referees and be like, "Pick that flag up." Like that's that. that's that's not going to that's not. the call. So that's a change. It's. progress. Uh I don't think we're ever. going to go back and and do it where we. did the pass interference reviews which.

we had a couple years back which was a. nightmare and would take 15 minutes and. stop a game and then the refs would. always side with their original call. anyway. But this is one where there can. be a impartial party up in New York. saying, "Hey, actually that one wasn't.". You can pick up the flag, but they. cannot demand a flag be thrown after the. fact. Yeah, I think that's a smart move. And uh as long as they're quick and. efficient and the right people are. looking at the uh Xbox or whatever. they're running it with and sending it. down there, to your point, is good. The. overtime stuff, I think that pass, they're going to have the same as you.

get a chance to answer, but it is in a. 10-minute period as opposed to in. playoffs. It's never ending until. somebody wins the game. And uh I think. they'll consider it a successful league. meeting down there. Way to go, boys. Great. All right. Go ahead real quick. That that that glazer video that you. showed. So that's like Jay's like that's. Jay's Christmas. Like that this is his. and that is that is like 20 years in the. making. And it started with like him and. Tomlin getting drinks and then it. expanded and it's it's this thing that. like Jay it's the it's the Tuesday after.

the coaches in the NFC have their their. breakfast. So, everyone's kind of done. and Jay gets all the head coaches. together and uh having been at that. table with him, Jay was cool enough to. invite me several times at these league. meetings. It's hilarious. And they're. not talking about free agents. I'm sure. they're getting bombed right now because. they've been. conf hours listening to presentations. and dark lighting and dealing with their. kids and their wives who are all there. and this is like their one time away. So, Brian Dable's got his legs crossed. The cigar will be coming out shortly and.

Andy Reid is hanging. He's not a. drinker, but he'll hang and have a good. time, too. Yeah, the Mormon will toss. down a diet coke. Congrats to the boys. Congrats to the boys. You earned it out. there. All right. Um, Shrekes, we got. some questions about other stuff that we. know that you will know the answer to. Obviously, one of the greatest mock. drafters in the history of mock drafts. Debb has a question for you, pal. Absolutely. On that mock drafting note, uh, HM has basically come out and said, "Look, took a big swing and a miss on. Deshawn. That that lies on me. Take full. accountability." But now sitting there. at number two, um the tea leaves are.

kind of saying momentum is going towards. Abdul Carter going and pairing up with. Miles Garrett and Cleveland. What's your. thoughts and feelings on what. Cleveland's going to do with that number. two pick as it stands right now? No. Well, well, they're not there yet. Here's the key thing I think everyone. doing mock drafts and I respect it. I. like to wait until about two weeks. beforehand when the pro days are done. You know, Shador Sanders hasn't had his. pro day yet. It's this week. It's April. 4th and he hasn't had any private. workouts with teams. So, you're talking. about if this guy's going to be my. second overall pick, he didn't throw at. the combine. We might have met with him. for 15 minutes, but I got to get my.

hands on him. I got to a see him at his. proday and then b I've got to bring him. into our building and see how he. interacts and how it goes. Uh, you look. at Cleveland's quarterback situation. Finally, they're ripping the band-aid. off. They're going to pay Deshun Watson. He's going to get paid. But Kenny. Pickicket's the quarterback for now. There's a lot of smoke around them. making a play for Cousins. Raheem Morris. doubled down this morning saying, you. know, we're happy with Cousins being a. backup. Keep an eye on that. But I I I. wouldn't open any doors and say that, hey, just because, you know, they're.

done with Watson, this means it's Shador. Sanders. You're right, Debut, that it's. it sounds like Abdul Carter, you put him. and Miles Garrett together, you have. Kenny Picket, and if Kirk Cousins comes. to be great, but there's also some other. quarterbacks that they can look at later. on, and that might be Tyler Shuck, that. might be, you know, Jackson Dart, Quinn. Eers. No one feels like they are so. desperate right now to get Shador. Sanders, but if he blows them away, that's an option they could do. They. leave the door open, they can do so. Yeah. Will Howard is well shed as you're.

doing it back home. I was going to say. to you, I I got to tell you, when you. guys were at Ohio State, I forget it was. probably before the playoff game. It was. freezing cold. you guys were just there. and I was working for NFL Network and. Fox and it was like a loosey goosey day. you guys had on there and my wife and I. are watching and I'm like I really. appreciate these guys. I got to join. this crowd. Like you guys were it was. the day you were messing with Zier. Franklin and I'm like oh I like it. messing with like it was good. But I'm. like the fact that you have this ability.

to go with your boys a day before a. college football playoff game sit in the. cold laugh your asses off. It's great. content and I so appreciate even being. on the show now because I wasn't able to. this past season. Um the sky's is the. limits now and you guys do such a great. job. Strange. We're lucky to have you. back. Oh yeah. It's not always, you. know, Lucy Goose is not always good, you. know, is what we have learned, but we're. trying to get better every day. We're. trying our best to get better to be an. additive to society. Um but I will say. those uh sideline passes games are the.

most absurd things of all time. And. that's where we saw that's where we saw. Will I mean it was just like we saw we. saw CJ Strad and we're not going to act. like we were the only people that saw. it. But at that time CJ Stra was not. being talked about as being the guy like. this is not the guy. He threw that pass. against Georgia 80 yards and everyone's. like wait a second. No, not even that. He jocked out in warm-ups when we were. there and it's like this dude's big. Very, very big. And it's I think it's. the moxy is what I want to see is like. how the teammates feel about him because. the teammates always know like hey is.

this a good teammate or not. The. teammates will tell you whether or not. this is a guy in with Will Howard it was. like after that Michigan loss with how. much money's being paid to that roster. which how many with how many. expectations there were on this. particular team there could Jeremiah. Smith is you know best player of. football. There could have been a lot of. people that turned on this guy, Will. Especially with what happened at the end. of the Oregon game earlier in the year. whenever, you know, he ran and the clock. ran out and everybody's like, "This is. the dumbest guy of all time." A lot of. those teammates could have said, "It's. this guy's fault that we're losing this.

season and this might be our final. season or we're going all in." And. instead, he had a relationship with all. of his teammates. He had uh handshakes. with all of his teammates. It was like. they loved him. And then what we watched. him do, I mean, that was what -10° or. whatever it was in that particular time. there. what we watched him do up close. and personal those two balls. We're. literally standing right there. It's. like this guy's a baller. Like I think. he's crazy, isn't it? So like you have. the experience with game day and then of. course when you guys were doing those. simal casts, you get to be there. But. for years I was a sideline reporter and. what you see on the sidelines is I get.

two hits a game and I'm like this guy's. ankles hurt and this coach yelled at. this player. But what you don't get is. that I'm there three hours before a. kickoff talking to the coaches. I'm. there three hours before kickoff. watching how the quarterback interacts. And for these draft pundits, a lot of. them see stats, they see combine, but. the coaches don't look at it necessarily. that way. The coaches say, "Oh, well, I. actually have a a scout who was at the. game when Oregon State uh played.

against, you know, Stanford two years. ago and this guy in pregame did like. that's why it's the total package. You. can't just do uh evaluations based on. film and by combine. There's all the. intangible stuff and I think you guys. being on site, as I like to call it, like to touch the grass a little bit, get in there, see it, you can kind of. navigate and you'll know, you'll know. which guys are the goobers, too. Like. you can see that also like, "Oh, that. guy sinks." Like I don't want that guy. on my team. And the teams know that as. well. Yeah. I had a chance to do that. Thursday Night Football uh Remy. operation with ESPN four or five years.

ago, six or whatever it was, six years. ago, maybe seven. 2019. 29 years. So, six years ago, Molly McGrath was the. sideline reporter, you know, and. sideline reporters, like to your point, only see them like two, three times a. game. You hear them drop in and. everything, but the amount of like info. that she was sending up to the booth. like at all times, it was like, "Oh, you're the sideline reporters are like. they're your eyes." Like they they are. literally the eyes down on the side. like, "Hey, just a heads up. Blah blah. blah just happened." And it's like all. of a sudden that becomes like, "Ah, need.

a camera on this. Need to do this." It's. like uh and you're really in it. Like. you're you're in the middle. Coach is. talking [ __ ] to you. Yeah. Doing a. touchdown like Exactly. Coach Fry. Oh, I. did a I did a Bills Dolphins game a. couple couple years ago. Saturday night. game. It was cold. Josh Allen came back. and like beat Tua. But I got like a. snowball thrown at me in Buffalo and. like then like everyone was like looking. at me. I'm like, "Let's go. I'm on the. field. Let's roll. Let's go. Let's do. it." And it's like you're feeling it. You're actually in the action. And to. that Buffalo fan who threw a snowball at.

me, I'm on ESPN now. Okay. Yeah, great throw. Great throw. You had. to be pretty far away to hit me. I was. on the side. But with that being said, I'm uh I'm an Emmy award-winning host. Hell yeah. Aren't you, Shrags? Emmy. award winner, brother. And uh hopefully. there's more of that came from. All. right, we got some more questions. obviously about everything happening. around the NFL where OK man's got one. for you. Yeah, Shrags. Jed York came out. and basically said, "Hey, mid-season. 2024, we all decided, you know, we're. going to give Brock Party a few more.

shekels after underpaying him for so. long, and now it feels like his contract. is looming before the start of next. year." Are you hearing anything as far. as numbers go? Do you think he'll be a. 50 plus million year or million dollars. per year guy, or do you think he might. be in the the 40s range so that Sam. Frank can continue to build around him. and have one of the best rosters in. football? It's really interesting. because the gravy train was going there. for a while and they, you know, against. maybe better judgment in their hearts. were like, "All right, we'll pay Debo.

this number. We'll pay Brandon this. number. We're all in and this is the. year we're going to be allin. The window. is now and we got Brock on this rookie. quarterback, you know, seventh round. pick salary." And then it all came. undone. Uh, you know, some someone in. the league made a comparison to what's. going on in the US government right now. And it's like, all right, we got to just. stop the bleeding and we're going to. analyze everything. And I'm like, no, no, don't go there yet. Doing it over. Oh, they're AI taking. over. Got it. Got it. Got it. Okay, got.

it. Did Perie miss the boat on when the. Niners were they saving all of their. money or shekels as you call it to give. it to him? I don't see Brock Py making. north of $55 million. I don't see Brock. Pury being one of the top highest paid. quarterbacks. It's going to be a. discussion with his agent, him, and what. does he want? What does he need? And. then you never want to take a hometown. discount, but you also realize that, you. know, your Brock Perie is is 50 million. the right number? Is 48 not the right. number? Is 45 the right number? Can 40.

be the right number? So curious to see. where it goes out here, but obviously. they want to sign Brock Purdy. That's. been John Lynch's stance forever. Kyle. Strong and his agent met with the team. at the combine. Like these are open. conversations, but I don't think this is. the Justin Herbert deal or the Trevor. Lawrence deal or it's well every other. young quarterback got paid. We got to. pay them. The Niners, it's almost like. the Buck stops here. Let's be fiscally. smart right now because we might have. made some errors in the past. I know uh. you want 55, but quick question. 55 not.

bad. 48 same, right? Basically, how. about 44 then? 44 and 48 basically same. What you rate there? 40. Think about. what we can do, okay, with that extra. 15. The way you wield and deal and. negotiated right there is exactly the. sound a team would have for a player. For Brock Party, it is an interesting. situation because as Connor would say, the shekels have been pretty low, you. know, because he was the last pick of. the draft. So, he has had a very low NFL.

contract. And you know, you want to talk. about Doge in the government. San. Francisco's government takes uh a good. amount of said, as Connor would say, shekeuckles out of the contract to, you. know, give back to the city and to the. state and to the country, right? That's. where it all goes. And then, you know, that has been a pretty big amount. So, if you go from making the least possible. basically for a guy, literally the least. possible that you could as a draft pick, the least possible as a starting.

quarterback by far, but just as a player. that is drafted as whole. So, would a. $45 million a year be welcomed because. it was like I was just making. 900,000 bucks last year. So, like, is. that the sell? Yeah. every ex player and. every NFL PA representative and every. agent is like, "Brock, don't you even. think about something?". That is what they're going to be saying. He's He's in a bad position leverage. wise, not because of the draft position, but because they still own his rights. for what, the next three years if they.

want to if they want to play hard. Yeah. If they want to play hard franchise a. couple times to still wait another year. to pay him. So, he is in a bad situation. there. But, you don't take less than 50. you know, I you he deserves, you know, especially with the salary cap going up, at least what Trevor Lawrence is. getting. Jordan Love, what has he. proved? Um, in comparison to what Brock. Party has done in the league so far. So, I think Brock, you know, he deserves. around that 55 um at least. Josh Allen. not not breaking that 55 mark, not. getting up the deck. I think that kind.

of suppressed the market a little bit. for the quarterback. Salary cap jumping. up though. Brock Pur deserves 55. But. we'll see how it plays out with the. leverage that Niners have. Good luck, Pie. Go get Good luck party for and good. luck to the ners. I mean I saw Lynch. hand over a lighter for a cigar down. there with Jay Glazer. You know they. smoking weed down. I don't know. I've. seen I look look around that circle. I. see a couple Sigs guys in medical. Oh, you're seeing some sigs down there. Was. there people were packing sigs down. there at the meeting? Faves was in that. circle, but you know I saw Liam Cohen.

and I know one when I see one and I know. he's in the cigarette. At what time you. think Faves is double cigarettes? Uh 2 6. 3:30 four patches 3:30. It's 12:30 7. Eastern right now. Probably an hour ago. Started an hour ago. Yeah, you're right. I guess there was a good brunch moment. probably when someone came up and was. like, "We need you to ban the tush push, Mike." And he was like, "All right, I'm. sick of this." What did he say? Actually, we're not going to let Lamar. Jackson wrong anymore. But just so just. cuz nobody can stop it, we're going to. just stop start banning stuff. No. Think. about the conversation in in that room.

about the tush push from the meathead. football guys. Brael for instance who. might have had two cigarettes in his. mouth might have not just unlit sigs. both of them lit. You know there's a. chance add a cigar in the middle. There's a chance he's threepiece in that. thing triple stack and they say we're. not playing football anymore. And then. you got somebody on the other side. You've got Mike McDaniel and sunglasses. and a Gucci belt being like we are. trying to play football. God actually if.

you think about it like all these. personalities. Uh I assume that's what that is. afterwards that you know Glaze is. setting up. They're going to have he's. going to get everyone and get three. drinks in them and then he's going to be. like all right boys 16 on 16 non tush. push tush push. You guys are going to. beat the [ __ ] [ __ ] out of each other. and whoever wins that's that's what. we're gonna vote on. No glade there. He's like I got Guy Fiery here. Stallone. is here. We got Kurt Kurt Angle and we. got you know Chuck Liddell. They're all.

going to play Rob in a boat too. Yeah. Hey, these are all compliments because. this could be real. Like what we are. saying right now could be real. Also in. my algo uh more than I would, you know, every once in a while I got to have a. nice chat with the algo. You got to go. to the search uh bar and like be like, "Hey, I'll do it fast." No, you got you. got to have a good conversation with. your algorithm. Those group MMA fights. have been showing up a little bit more. What? Have you seen this? I have not. Oh, group. Yeah, it's like six on six on a.

cage. In a cage. In a cage. Yeah, they're in a cage. And then once one's. out, it's now six on five and then four. on one. Yeah, you see some of these. You. see some of these like in the middle. What? What country? I'd assume it's. Russia. Yeah. Not here. Eastern. Yeah. Some Eastern block. Yeah. It's insane. Have you seen the one where. they're actual like using a weapon. swords? Yeah. The ones with like old. time. They're like Yeah. Look that one.

up. Need this. That's the whole thing. Armor. They're not speaking our language. and I'm not sure we would be welcomed at. the event, but it does seem like. something that would be electrifying. Maybe Jay is setting it up tonight. 16. on 16. Put the cage up around the pool. Maybe it is just one big pool basketball. game. Dan Quinn with that backward. basketball. MCC coming nerd. You know. the whole thing. I mean there's a chance. drowning Mike McDaniel. All right, let's. get back. None of this is going to. happen, man. You know, none of Zack.

Taylor from deep just money like sorry. Zack Taylor sitting on the side of the. pool. Yeah. Getting a pass. Got to make. that. You missed your one opportunity. there. You're getting you're done. Yeah. Yeah. Andy Reed down low getting bored. Oh my god. With a t-shirt on in the. pool. His t-shirt just says big walrus. on it. Walus. Walus. Kick it. Kick it. So many opportunities. Hey Jay, make it. happen down. It's on you. Jay Glazer, you either do it or you hate football. Glazer. Hope they're having a good time. Tony has a question for you. Shrekes. Yeah, you got you brought up uh Kirk.

Cousins maybe tied to the Browns. You. know, he has a pass with Stfansky. you. said Rahim Morris kind of put put some. chillers on that, but Arthur Blank said. that he sat down with Kirk for an hour. and took five pages of notes, handed. those off to the football people, said. you do with those notes what you will. Uh, but Breer said Blanket definitely. did not close the door on a trade. If. it's if it do you think it might be the. Browns and if it's not the Browns and. let's say Aaron doesn't sign with the. Steelers, do you think Kirk Cousins has. a chance to play with the Steelers or do. you think the Browns is potentially the. only place uh that Kirk could go right.

now and and be a starter potentially? Look, the Browns thing makes a lot of. sense for two big reasons. One, there's. a gaping hole at quarterback. I mean, Picket could hold the fort, but he's not. your only option. And then two, Stfansky. and Cousins have a really good personal. relationship. I don't know why Kirk. Cousins was at a Chipotle in Ohio over. the over the weekend, but he was. That. was confusing to me. But that also leads. you to think, wait, what's going on. here? Truth of the matter is, Pennix is. the future in Atlanta. They're paying. Cousins a boatload. Can they figure.

something out contractwise? And is it. really logical to think that Kurt. Cousins, who signed on to the Atlanta. Falcons, to be the starter of the. Atlanta Falcons, is thrilled to be the. backup next year and to be grooming. Michael Penn for a team that didn't even. make the playoffs this season. At least. in Cleveland, he goes to a quarterback's. coach in a whisper that he's had. He's. got a relationship, a fan base that. would be thrilled to have him. And he's. an upgrade and he's the quarterback one. It makes sense. Of course, the timing. they'd have to wait to be able to do. this. But Miles Garrett, which Pat I was.

very vocal about on my last home, how we. wasted an entire Super Bowl week. listening to Miles Garrett talk about. wanting to play for a Super Bowl. champion. You go on radio row and speak. to anybody with a microphone. How all he. wants to do is is raise a Lombardi and. then two weeks later get 40 million and. sign and say, "I want to be in. Cleveland." Actually, Barrett did say. that he knows of a plan at quarterback. and he's comfortable with that plan. I. can't imagine it's with a rookie. quarterback or it's I'm thrilled to go.

to war with Kenny Picket. Well, Kenny. Picket is Super Bowl champion. Last time. I touched the ball in the Super Bowl was. Kenny Picket. I think Miles would be I. don't want to speak for Miles, but I. think Shador Sanders or K or Kurt. Cousins, which one would you be more. comfortable with? I think if I'm out of. I don't know if either one's the answer. right away. Well, no that he he decided. though 40 million was enough to sway his. thoughts. He's there for another what. four years three four years we expect. I. mean top of the draft Kirk and Carter.

though too. Kirk we watched Kirk Cousins. play football. Did we all I. know I know Garrick getting tripled. Abdul Carter on the other side as well. Devot paid 170 last off taking out what. you're putting down. We watched it. Kirk. was hot. He was hot coming in, you know, coming off the Achilles. I'll tell you. this, they pay against the Raiders and I. think it was Desmond Ritter under center. was the worst performance I've ever seen. from a quarterback in a game. And I said.

that guy looks like a shell of what he. once was. And it came out afterwards. The shoulder was all busted up. He was. hurt. How much money do they spend on. quarterbacks if they trade for Kirk. Cousins and are paying Deshawn Watson? Well, they pay 37, right? It's 27 this. year, then 10 million guaranteed next. year cuz they did that thing what a week. ago or whatever and kept him on the. roster. So that's an extra 37 million. So Shader Sanders is the number two. overall pick is what sounds like. Can't. the Falcons pay salary in the trade? Uh. yes, they could definitely pick up some. of it, right? Just like the Broncos did. for the Pittsburgh Steelers. So I mean I.

guess that could be a part of the trade, but you would have to give up what? Two. Yeah, exactly. Why would give up or. what? Like a two picks. Not the number. two overall. everyone. Oh, I think this. might be one of those where it's more. like Russell and uh and Seattle and. Denver where you're it's it's a much. more even trade as far as who's getting. I don't think the Falcons have any leg. to stand on to demand a bunch of draft. picks for Kirk Cousins. So, Atlanta. would have to pay it and they wouldn't. get a lot of uh Yeah, I think I think. this is more let's cut our losses if. they're doing that and let's give Kirk a.

chance to start somewhere. Okay, so. Atlanta pays the bills then. So then it. is that is possible then it is a cheaper. contract because whenever you say Shador. Kirk it's like Shador you're getting a. very cheap not very cheap but you get it. a rookie contract quarterback which is. what the San Francisco 49ers have with. Brock Birdie now much different as a. number two overall pick as opposed to. Mr. irrelevant, but still the rookie. contract at quarterback is a massive. ordeal, especially if you got debts all. over the place, which what do you do? I. mean, if if you're the Browns and you. don't love Shador Sanders and you have.

the number two overall pick and this kid. Carter is what you think he is and is a. game changer, do you sacrifice having. that guy for 10 years to draft a. quarterback that might have been the. third or fourth quarterback taken in the. draft last year and just because it's. the year of the draft that we have the. number two pick? It's this constant. question of shopping when you're hungry. and you don't want to go to the grocery. store when you're starving because you. end up buying all sorts of stuff that. you don't want the next day. Shador. Sanders, if you love him, take them and. you think he's the future that's great. and Miles Garrett might know that he's.

the guy and they feel great then that's. okay. But if he doesn't blow you away. and you're Stfansky and you know. quarterbacks and you're Andrew Barry and. you know quarterbacks and you're like, do you just take them to take them so. you say we got a quarterback? That's. tough. Yeah. You don't want to go. shopping when you're starving and. stoned, you know, but right now they're. in a situation where who who they've. been starving and stoned for a long. time. Yeah. Well, especially now they're. more starving and stoned than they've. ever been. They're paying they're paying. a lot of money. How about Hasslam coming. out and being like, "Yep, that one's on.

me, B. Me and D, we we certainly thought. it was the case." It has been an. organizational failure from top to. bottom. And that starts with us. That's. what we all assumed why, you know, Andrew Barry and Stfansky are still. there is because we feel like a decision. was made above them that has kind of. handicapped them mightily. If it is Kirk. Cousins going up there and they're able. to go on a run, you know what, the dog. pound, you didn't deserve it. You didn't. deserve it over there. Last question. quickly here. Shriggs, we can't thank. you enough. Go ahead, Ty. Yeah, Shriggs. We heard Ben Johnson who everyone knows.

he's a wonderkin. He's the next guy, but. he basically came out and said, "Hey, listen. EPA is more important than. turnovers." And although last year Caleb. Williams I think had the second lowest. EPA for quarterbacks in the NFL, is this. something everyone knew? Is he is he. like a big statistical guru uh and like. analytics and all that kind of stuff? Because going in I thought he was just, you know, straight ball X's and O's and. now I'm all of a sudden kind of getting. Brandon Staley vibes out of Benon. Johnson. Like what the.

S Packers fan obviously. Um, I've gotten to know Ben pretty well. and you know I think there's this. thought that either a he's this like. dorky X's and O's sit in the bottom of a. basement just draw plays like I'm I'm a. mad scientist or there's this other. feeling of it like that he's he's this. you know I I'm going to I'm going to. shove it in the face of the Packers. because I'm going to be that guy. Truth. of the matter is he's the total package. This is a guy who I think comes in here.

and values that stuff and might have. said those stats, but I promise you he. is not looking at Caleb Williams because. of something called EPA. And what. excites him, he's looking at Caleb. Williams because he sees completely. untapped potential, an awesome arm, a. good kid, and a guy that they think they. finally built an offensive line for this. season with Jonah Jackson and Tuni. We. can go through it all, but they're like, "This gives him a shot." But he had. options as we know. He could have gone. anywhere. Yes, the money was good. He. also really wanted to work with Caleb.

Williams. So, I don't think it's because. of turnover numbers or EPA. I think that. was him just playing to the wonks a. little bit. Uh, love that. Playing to. the wonks a little bit up there in. Chicago. Um, EPA earned points added is. a stat per play basically where it's uh. did you help your team on this play or. did you hurt your team? Like your plus. minus. Yeah, it's a plus minus for. basketball. It's for football. Do you. know who is uh the worst ever? Will. Levis if you're wait what do you mean.

ever last season? Maybe last season. I. don't know. You see these points. I. don't know how it can get much worse. You could see it. I'm tell there are. some bad bad bad bad plays in the EPA. But who's the one judging, you know? Like that's the whole thing. And then. the overall points you have to play a. certain amount of plays because then. they just get added on to like earned. point average per play. Some people are. like. negative.17 or 0.14, but if you don't. play as many plays, you won't be like. negative69 or negative 94 or whatever it.

is. You'll just be negative 48. So, whatever the case is, this stat. seemingly says, do you stay on schedule. and do do you hurt your team or do you. help your team every single play? It's a. new one. I'm no I'm no meatthead, Pat, but I think, you know, this show is. going to be higher rated than the LeBron. episode last week cuz I'm on it. But I. think the ratings just tanked when you. said the word EPA and started going. through it. And that's the problem. viewers don't want to hear it and like. we as media are trying to grasp it, but. it is valued there in those buildings. and there are teams of analytical people.

putting these numbers together. I'm just. not hip to the stats. To me, it's I want. to see the guys throw and I want to see. how they interact with the teammates. What was the other one? There was. another one. Expected. CP expectations. Yeah, dude. There is we. could send these over cuz Hembo. obviously will send us some stats and. every once in a while there will just be. this [ __ ] stat that is not real DVOA. you know and it's like all right I. understand fools here's a fake. stat I appreciate you but I don't know. how that one applies but smart people do.

which you are one of them and we can't. thank you enough for joining us and. congrats on uh the ESPN deal brother I'm. so excited uh really happy to be here. and one of the primary reasons I sought. out ESPN as a home It's because of the. the relationship you guys and your team. has had with me and the ability to work. together. It's really cool. Pat Shreker, we love you, man. You're the best. Ladies and gentlemen, Peter Shreger. Shrank's been good to us. Oh, yeah. And. he knows. Yeah, he he's uh Yeah, he's pl. like I talked about coming out of the.

Emory College, I think, is like the most. expensive school in like Yeah. Very hard. to get in. I think it's. like I think it's all bazillionaires. What's their specialty? Bazillion. I. think just networking. Okay. I think but. probably business. Yeah. They had 11%. acceptance rate which is low. Any other. people we would know came out of here. I. learned about it whenever Shregs was on. the show. He said I went to a school in. Atlanta. It's like a small school in. Atlanta and you would have thought you. had heard of all the schools in Atlanta. cuz it's Atlanta. And then he said never. heard of we looked it up. It's like one. of the most expensive schools in the. history of schools. I.

think not only acceptance rate but I. think also like uh there has to be a. massive bank account behind that one as. well. So I'd assume the networking. pretty good down there. you know those. schools have a lot of these things. happening at all times just like uh you. know camps or or some of these high. schools these privatemies or anything. like that that's but he decided to take. the route of like I'm going to the. Senior Bowl in Mobile and I'm sleeping. on shitty mattresses and motel to try to. meet people and he met a bunch of. low-level guys basically coaches and. scouts and through the years they've all.

kind of moved up as he has moved up and. it's like uh Shrags is plugged that's. why his mock draft yeah is always the. explosives and uh he's a good get for. ESPN. Oh yeah, I personally believe that. Good Morning Football run he had over. there. It was great. They won an Emmy. obviously they did their thing. I'm. pumped he's with ESPN. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man from MLB. Network from Pittsburgh, one of the. greatest yinszers of all time. Ladies. and gentlemen, the host of the mayor's. office, John Casey. Yeah, mayor.

What's up, fellas? Mayor, it is great to. see you. We have a heart out in five. minutes, which is unfair for the way. that you operate, but we are. appreciative of you being able to join. us on such quick notice. You, former. hitting coach for the Yankees, a guy who. was able to get good wood on a ball, whatever. You know, that is uh what your. baseball resume would say uh about how. you played. These torpedo bats are. taking the world by storm. Obviously, that's Jazz Chisum. He has done a.

fantastic job with these. The Yankees. have hit a bunch of bombs. I believe it. was uh Ellie de la Cruz. Ellie de la. Cruz last night has four hits, two bombs. in his first night using this torpedo. bat. So, couple quick questions. How. come this hasn't always been the bat of. choice? Why haven't we always had it? And is this thing going to get banned or. promoted in the MLB, do you think? Well, it's definitely going to get. promoted. I mean, it's it it goes. through all the specs. It's it's totally.

legal. I think the biggest thing they. did here if because they have there's a. bat performance lab that Marucci. Invictus bats have down in Baton Rouge. and I think a lot of the players go have. been going there for years and if you go. back to Paul Goldmith in 2022 on the. bottom of his bat like he had a bat like. this and at the bottom of his bat was. like a puck shape and everyone's like oh. man what's going on Goldmith's bat and. what they found is when he was swinging. he liked a little more weight at the. bottom it it felt better you know going. through the zone with the metrics. Well,

what they found with the torpedo bat is. all they did was uh for a guy like. Anthony Vulpi. So, the sweet part of the. of the bat is like right here, right? The barrel. What they did was a lot what. they found was Vulpi hits a lot of his. contact more towards the label, right? More down here towards the label. So, what they did was they took the barrel. and they moved it down a little bit more. and made this end part thinner. That's. why it starts to look like a torpedo. bat. So, but so what they're saying is, okay, if he hits it on the barrel and.

when he misses, he misses more towards. the label or he's hitting it towards the. label more, why are we not putting the. uh that sweet spot of the bat, the. density of the bat? Why aren't we moving. it down on the bat? That's all they're. doing. Then they have to figure out how. to weigh it just right, too, because at. the end of the day, like for me, I like. the 34 in 32 oouncez bat. Like, if I was. going to move those metrics, I wanted to. make sure it still felt good in my hand. So, these are totally legal, Pat. And at. the end of the day, too, you know, the. the old saying, you know, it's it's the.

uh Indian, not the arrow. As far as like. at the end, if the Yankees went out and. weren't good, they'd be like, "Oh, these. torpedo bats have to go." But the fact. that they came out and hit so many pumps. out the gate, you know, next thing you. know, everyone's like, "What's up with. these torpedo bats?" So, you still got. to have guys like Aaron Judge and and. Jazz Chisum and Anthony Vulpi and and. Austin Wells swinging the bat for them. to be good. Yeah. Aaron Judge not using. it, but I assume there comes a time in. the playoffs he gets cold again. Maybe. he uh picks up a torpedo and tries to,

you know, put the hat on inside out, a. little bit of a rally. I have a. Maruchcci bat here as well. Will all bat. companies be able to do this? And will. it be specific for the batter? For. instance, I watched Pete Rose, I think, on Fox with uh I think Alex Rodriguez. was there and uh Frank Thomas. Yeah, maybe Ortiz. Yes. Something I forget who. was there, but they asked him about like. if he was having an off day. And he was. like, "Well, if I was fast on the ball, I would just move up in a batter's box. If I was getting jammed, I'd move back.

in a batter's box. If I was slow, I'd. move to the back end of it." So, with. you saying like, "Hey, this guy whenever. he gets jammed is up here, so they just. move the density there." They'll be. doing that for everybody then, basically. Is that kind of the next step. of this? And how many companies can. actually do this? Everybody. I I think. any company could do it. But like I. said, Maruchcci and Victus have that bat. performance lab in Baton Rouge where. they fly guys in in the offseason and. they say, "Hey, listen. You're swinging. the bat for whatever reason. However. your bat comes through the zone, you're.

hitting 65% of the balls towards the. label. Let's make a bat for you that. moves that barrel down there to optimize. when you hit the ball." So for a guy. that hits the ball on a standard bat on. the barrel a lot, which like a Aaron. Judge, a lot of guy, most guys do, they're not necessarily going to need. the torpedo bat, but at the end of the. day, if you're moving the barrel down on. that bat, what what you're doing is. you're exposing the end. A lot of guys. don't hit the ball off the end. So. you're giving yourself a sweeter, you.

know, more more barrel to hit the ball. on. So I just think some guy it'll be. good for some guys. And I've also heard. um there's been eight eight or so teams. that have ordered these torpedo bats. going into even last year. Some guys. don't like them. Some guys are hitting. with them like I don't like this. And. some guys like them. So, you know, at. the end of the day, it's a preference. It's almost like really quick, Pat. It's. almost like golf clubs. For golf clubs, you go you go to get fitted for golf. clubs, right? They're like, "Oh, hey, use this driver. You're better with a. stiffer shaft. You're better with this.". And all of a sudden, you're like, "Okay,

that makes sense for me." That's what's. starting to happening with bats in the. big leagues where they're like, "Okay, why are we all swinging the same bats. that we've swung for so long? Let's try. and get an advantage and figure out how. we can make a bat that fits your needs. better." You're the best, ladies and. gentlemen. That's the mayor. Thank you. for the hitting uh clinic, ladies and. gentlemen. Sean Casey. Thank you, Sean. We'll be back in 2. minutes and 40 seconds. It's impossible. to be at the top at both of those. essentially like it's.

another farting Dan Orloki situation. just took place. What do you mean? It's. unbelievable. Your butt is talking. Okay. I did not fart. This is two times now. Dan, this is the. thing. You guys being serious right now. or you messing with me? Listen to this. clip. This is you just moments ago. It's. impossible to be at the top at both of. those essentially like. it's undeniable. You guys.

definitely freaking idiot. I. swear we. swear that we swear. We swear. No one. did that. What did you eat? I haven't even ate. Hey, if I were you right now, I'd go. grab some food. My wife texted me. She. said, "Oh my gosh, McAfee show, I'm.

dead." I go, "Babe, I promise you on. everything. I did not fart." Who runs. your Twitter account? Hey, I do. What's. this all about? I would like to know in. that situation where your butthole. started talking, what did I do? I'm here. to be serious with you, man. What are. you chugging a glass of milk? Eat some. fruit over there. Get you some coffee. Get that butthole a little bit more. active. I haven't ate. I'm eating. yogurt. I have a thousand text messages. right now of people going, "Oh my gosh.". And I'm like, I just wanted to have like. a quiet Tuesday. I don't even know why.

we're going to have another hour. Maybe. we run that clip. Just Yeah. Yeah. On. We have the video. Seams. Let's let you. judge here. It's impossible to be at the. top at both of those essentially like. it's. I need to hear the context. I want to. give my Sean, shut up. What did AJ vote? It's a fart all day long, Kirk. You know. that. Has anybody voted no? Dan, I'll be. the captain of the team know today. We. need you to do a tiebreaking vote. Is. that okay? Sounds good to me. It's. impossible to be at the top at both of.

those essentially like it's there's no. doubt. I mean, I like how he just kept. on going right there. When he was. talking, he didn't even break stride as. that thing came out. He went and got the. buggy. Went to the store, grabbed some. dude wipes to wipe those ass cheeks, just like I assume you do as welcome. You have to go dry, wet, dry. Toilet. paper, wipe, toilet paper. If not, you're really risking the rest of the. day having the swamp ass. You know, Dan. Orloski, man, he got to accept that, man. He got to wear that with a pride. One thing that really bothers me when.

people do not take credit for it. You. know, if somebody says, "Oh, that was. you that farted." I get upset when it. wasn't me. I'm like, "No. When have I. ever not claimed it when it was mine?". You should claim it. Put all those air. The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words.

because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. Hey, let's go. This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. on the line with a gorgeous assist. The. alltime leading tackler for the Green. Bay Packers. You. pick stop. Damn it. Your friend, tell a.

friend something nice could change their. life. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to our Humble the Bone. The Thunderdome. on this new NFL rules Tuesday, April. 1st, 2025 out of the program starts. now. Swords are happening all around us. and we're incredibly lucky that we get. to talk about it. The talk tables here. at Boston Conor and at Ty Schmidt. Sounds like people are going to be. moving forward with these torpedo bats.

It's all going to be a preference thing, but I think the torpedo bat era is about. to begin in a big way. Tash, I hope so. because it's a lot more fun even if. you're not just watching one of your. teams. Like you're going watch. highlights of any of these games and. like last night, you know, it's just. like Ellie de la Cruz is a stud. But if. we can have more guys just on these days. of the week where there's nothing really. else to talk about other than baseball. games and we're getting guys hitting two. homers and having four hits and having. seven RBI's, like that's good for the. game as a whole. I hope this whole thing. doesn't kind of just slow to a stop in.

the torpedo bats in like a couple weeks. or in a month. Like once we get later. into the season, it kind of just becomes. like a non-starter and guys aren't doing. this because it was kind of like what we. talked about with spider attack a couple. years ago or which they got they got rid. of it, but it was bring it back. Bring. back spider tech. Let the spider attack. come back and let them do their best. against uh the batter's absolute best. bat. I mean, the fact that these are. legal bats and they're just now. specifying and the mayor uh whenever he.

was chitchatting at the end of the hour. and then through the end of the hour. into the break a little bit, he was. talking about how, you know, Maruchi, the paans down there, the bat makers, they basically have you fly in, they. have you hit some and it's like, hey, here's where you hit the ball more often. than not. Let's move the density of the. bat to there to kind of at least help. you get a little bit better wood every. once in a while. Helps your miss be. better. Just like with golf clubs with. the wedges where they align them, where. they put weight at. Hey, you're assuming. they do this. Let's put a little weight. on the tip or on the toe that might be.

able to bring it back. It's like I just. assumed they'd been doing this forever. But I guess the only difference between. everybody was just the weight and. thickness of it. This is the next level. This is technology kind of making a. sport better. And I think they should. let the pitchers have spider attack. Let. these baseball batters have their best. bats. And let's go have them go at it. And even bring those juice balls back. too. That's what I kind of figured that. pitchers would start bitching about this. because from I would assume from their. perspective like it is kind of unfair. like what you're trying to do when.

you're pitch like you're trying to miss. barrels. So it's like if these guys are. moving the bat around and it's like hey. I'm trying to jam this guy but now the. barrel is essentially like up near more. near the handle. It's like you're trying. to do what like you're setting out to do. but somehow it's like this they've moved. the bat around. So this guy is still. hitting it right on the sweet spot. So. that's why I think pitchers would be. like, "Well, you know, now we have a. massive disadvantage." Like they said we. had a huge advantage with the spider. tack because all these guys could throw.

nasty breaking stuff and like the spin. rates were ridiculous. Like so I think. they should kind of bring that back to. even it out a little bit because that. that's going to be their biggest point. of contention. It's like I'm jamming. this guy and he's still hitting a. three-run homer. That's [ __ ] You. bring back the juice balls and because. you have the juice balls are a little. bit more slick. So you got to give the. pirate or the pitchers their spider. tech. Okay, so now we don't have to do. any more of the stupid checks either. Okay, they got their spider tack. Don't. have to look amateur doing the whole. Okay, let me see your hands. hat. Yeah, the whole thing. Where you. hiding? You hiding it behind your knee.

Where uh show us where's it? Take shoes. off. You know what you're doing down. there in your ankle. That's a weird. thing to happen. And it started. happening because there was too much. spider attack. Give them spider attack. Give the juice ball. Let the torpedo. bats happen. And let's have some. baseball. Darius Butler. I I love it. and and for it it just makes too much. sense. So I feel like somehow someway. they'll be we'll mess it up. They'll. mess it up. It makes too much sense for. baseball because we will we will more of. us will watch casually especially this. time of year. This is what we need and. I'm looking at these uh Dela Cruz.

highlights and I'm pissed off. It's not. enough not enough asses in the seats for. for a superstar, a stud like that doing. the [ __ ] that he does on Monday night. I. mean you got to get out there and watch. this guy play. I know uh opening day is. a big thing out for uh for the Reds, right? A bunch of teams, but especially. for them, like come on, look at those. seats, man. There's a lot of games, you. know, they're not going to be able to. sell out everywhere unless you're in one. of those markets that has uh millions of. humans living there. And uh the team is. historic. It's like Pittsburgh, the PNC.

Uh that place is beautiful. It is. gorgeous. But if that thing's getting. 30% capacity, 40% capacity, that's a. huge middle of the week potential. Little bump. You were here last night, did you? Ski will fill up. Okay. But. there's uh there's 140 other games. Yeah. Did you go outside last night here? Uh. no. No, because it was 40 and rain since. he's right down the road. I mean, if I. got a chance to watch him play ball, he. may give me to the ball. Yeah. Or you. may pick tomorrow. Joining us now. Lazy.

What's that mean? It's like, well, if. it's going to be 48 tonight, you know. what? There are 161 more of these. things. So maybe we'll go tomorrow and. and maybe the something will be on. It'll be nice. Easy come, easy go. Let's. go to a Cincinnati Reds fan. He wasn't. there. Not even I didn't see him there. to watch the show. Ladies and gentlemen, college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Rder Cup winner, AJ. Hawk. A lot of people dressed like seats at. the Reds game. Am I right? Hey, I give. credit to the people that actually went. to that game. I I went back and sat.

outside at a lacrosse game, my. daughter's lacrosse, and it was. full-blown winter conditions, like. blowing 40 mph, 40°. It was brutal. Yeah. Which does make it difficult to. hit. And uh we've talked more about. baseball, I think, than we've ever done. in the past. I'm genuinely interested. I. I am especially with this torpedo bat. thing. Like if if they're able to make. this big of an innovation to make the. game much better while still being. within the rules, you know, cuz. everything else they've had to like kind. of critique the rules. Stealing signs.

always been legal. Hitting trash cans. too far. Yeah. Can't do that. Okay. Then. like steroids. Okay, we're not really. testing, but can't do that. And then all. of a sudden, everybody is on it and. everybody's awesome. And baseball is. more popular than it's ever been. And. it's like, well, now we're going to test. for everything. It's like there's always. unwritten rules in baseball and then. something happens and then they have to. kind of fix it. In this one, not even. unwritten rule. They're like, no, this. is within the rule book. They're doing. it all right. And to Debbut's point, we.

automatically assume that baseball want. to make their sport worse. you know, we. automatically assume that they'll be. like, "This all makes too much sense. They're going to try to ban this." So, it seems like it's being welcomed. More. teams are wanting them. And uh if we get. those juice balls and a spider tack back. with Show with Tony in the in the. business, Juan Sodto going over to the. Mets making the amount of money he has. Obviously, a once in a generation guy. like Paul Schmes, it's like, is baseball. kind of is baseball interesting? Can we. Are we going to pay attention? I think.

so. I think so. Yeah. I think I think. this has legs. I I think it has legs, but I want to know how much power the. pitchers have when it comes to baseball. because I would imagine every pitcher I. don't know I shouldn't say every. pitcher, but don't you think the. majority of them are thinking, "Hey, you. guys are messing with the girth on these. bats. You can't do this. These guys are. hitting two and three homers every. game." Yeah. And you know, just like how. defense is uh kind of treated in the. NFL, which goes great. The one rule. change that was being pitched to. potentially assist uh defenders, that. thing is not getting passed. Yeah, that. thing was not getting passed. So, we.

don't know if it's the same way in. baseball with pitchers, but the new. rules did pass and there's nothing that. is making defense easier or better, but. we do know that there has been some. changes made. Replay assist going to be. better for all parties, we assume. Yes. Especially as the people that are doing. that are getting younger and more used. to what they're looking at and better. with the technology and quicker and able. to kind of assist, which we saw happen. last year a lot where a flag would be. thrown, then a ref would get a message. almost immediately and be like, "Oh, nope. We're picking it up. We're moving. along." after a replay assist or a.

further assist or whatever they would. say. Love that. Touchbacks to the 35, we're going to get more returns. Okay, people aren't going to want to give that. up. Love that. Regular season overtime. rules being the same as the playoff. overtime rules as opposed to being going. in forever. It does have a 10-minute. limit. And then the tush push has been. tush pushed back to May uh for their. next date uh in gathering. What are your. thoughts on it all, AJ? What's your big. takeaway from what has been voted by the. competition committee down in beautiful.

Florida? I think this is a little bit of. of what we expected. Obviously, the. defensive holding and illegal contact, I. did not expect that to get through on. this one. I thought the moving the. kickoff touch back to the 35. I thought. it was maybe 50/50 chance just because I. feel like hasn't the NFL promoted as a. big success like the new weird looking. kickoff to where we have what 1,800 more. plays or whatever they call it and we. have a lot less concussions, however you. test that. Yeah. And I I think the NFL. was very pumped with it. And I think at. the end of the season is really when. they were flexing, you know, they were.

like, "This is exactly what we wanted. We wanted it to be a dynamic play being. added back in." And Turpin obviously. goes bananas. I think he signed a deal, too. Congrats to him. Obviously, he. comes from the XFL and then he has a big. moment like that with a new return. I. think they're even trying to make it. easier for returns. I think it's like. 632 now as opposed to uh seven whatever. it was uh in the past. So, I think. they're adding another person. And I. think allegedly Roger Goodell was. pushing for it to go to the 35 because I. I had an opportunity to talk to. Commissioner Goodell about the new.

kickoff rules. Uh I think it was about. midway through the season. I I think. midway through the year and he was. pumped with it. He thought the. opportunities were great. And then I. immediately go got to move that to 35. there to kind of scare more people. And. his immediate thought and his response. was a lot of people have said that in. the special teams world. So, kind of an. NFL thing to test it, see how it works. Are we going to keep it? Are we going to. critique it a little bit or are we going. to get rid of this? They've we've seen. things get tested and then tossed after.

one season. Now, I think they saw it. They saw the upside of it, especially at. the end of the year last year when there. was more returns and they want to create. more. I love it. It's good for special. teams. It is great for special teams. coaches. It's great for special teams. players. I'm happy to say or I'm happy. to see that they think they got it right. is what I'm thinking. uh AJ from. watching them kind of adjust this role. Yeah. And it is going to absolutely, you. know, force more returns and and we love. seeing returns. It's something that. people, I guess, take for granted and. it's like an afterthought when you're. like a casual football fan, but if.

you're there and you're you're on the. staff or you're on the team, you know. absolutely how big of a deal these. things are. Yeah. If you take one to the. crib, you're probably going to win the. game. Yeah. Like that. That is just how. it goes. If you get one out to the 50, the offense is jogging on the field. I. mean, that's a whole force a fumble. Imagine forcing a fumble. If you're. covering the first kickoff of a game and. you force a fumble or something and get. that thing, huge. Game over. Uh, you. know, you used to be able to set the. tone with the, you know, Yeah. locking. arms.

[ __ ] it. That was That was Yep. I'm a wedge. I'm. a wedge buster. Kamicazi, what is your. job? I bust wedges. What are wedges? Well, it's three professional athletes. linking their arms together with a. returner behind them and they are. running full speed at me. I am running. full speed at them. You got to put a. descript on those three athletes, too. You're right. Linebackers, defensive. linemen, potentially an offensive. lineman. Could be anywhere from 240 lb.

to 340 lb. And they can run, they can. move, they will be moving in your. direction. And they are trying to bust. you. So, you're trying to bust them, they're trying to bust you. It's a game. of red rover, but really you're. outnumbered every time. And you're just. going to do one of these. And if you can. take up two, even better. So, you just. do what you got. That's what kickoff. used to be. And you could set a tone. Colts had a guy, I think he was a. defensive lineman. He was before I got. there. Crack four helmets or something. like that. Crack four helmets. Valuable.

play. That is a valuable player to that. squad because the coach can show film. with that dude every week, too. I can't. see. You talk about laying on the line. Check this guy out. He's half brain dead. already. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Game, but guys take pride in their. job is what I'm saying. Yeah, I think he. cracked three or four helmets or. whatever. And they've show they'll show. it on NFL films as one of the. highlights. Like he was just I think he. was a five. So he's right down the. middle of the field to the ball and it. was it was go time and he exploded. through people's heads and uh I've seen.

the clips. I wish that guy was on my. team. It was Asia. You should have seen. what it was like when I forget his name. I wish I knew his name. I think was his. last name Reed. Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Lineman 95 maybe. Big helmet. Yes. Big. helmet. So fast. Just so fast. Can't do. that anymore now cuz everybody's lining. up next to each other. Which is why when. the touchbacks happened, these looked. worse than the touchbacks of the old cuz. people were just standing at the 30,

touchback, all right, jog off the field. And now like I guess there was chatter. about moving the kickoff back five. yards. The kicker back five yards. Uh. instead of moving, you know, the. touchback to the 35, you can move it. back kickoff back to the 30, which is. what it used to be uh back in the day. I. still think there'll be kickers that. could get it out if they wanted to. Um. but that would certainly force some of. the the weakerlegged kickers uh to. probably put up more balls that'll be. returned. Um, how do you feel though.

legitimately about the defensive thing. not passing? Do you think that's just. forever now? Amen. Not not surprised at. all. And as the numbers continue to go. up as quarterbacks continue to make. money betting, you know, people want. fantasy like all the things that you. know are offensive in the league. So, you're not going to make it tougher uh. for the offense. I think that's why even. the um the p the tush push partly why. that's kind of been tabled. But I had. zero expectations for the defensive. stuff to be passed just like AJ. Yeah. It's not happening. The other one that's. interesting is the seating because the.

NFL isn't the only sport talking about, you know, the changing of the seating. I. know the NBA, they they're already. talking about just doing one through 16, you know, eight teams on the East, eight. teams on the West, and then completely. reseing them and doing just a one. through 16 uh, you know, NBA playoff. So, this one feels like it could. actually happen where instead of, you. know, making those teams that do go 14. and three go on the road that maybe they. still get a home game. I'll tell you, I. don't know. I don't know. Playoffs are. so successful. You got to remember end.

of day like what do we we're getting. like 60 million views 50 million viewers. for these playoff games with the way the. NFL operates. That would be a drastic. change with that move. Would it bring. more viewers? Would it bring more fans? That's the question. I I maybe it does. I maybe it does because the games get. better and like the people get rewarded. In my head, I'm not saying I'm against. this at all. At all. I'm not saying I'm. against it. What I'm saying is the NFL. very rarely will just make a drastic.

change to something, especially if it's. having massive success, which the. playoff numbers for football are absurd. I I mean, the NFL numbers are bananas. I. heard Craig say yesterday on his last. episode of Good Morning Football, how. much the owners love if you just win. your division, you get a home, you get a. home playoff game, you get all those, you get all those ticket money, you get. all those concessions, blah blah blah. And then you yesterday said it basically. the same thing but not from the owner's. perspective but more of a player. perspective is you would winning the. division means something and that's. awesome whether whether you have the.

fifth best record in that conference or. not win the division as someone like. where you we come from like a division. that means something like you have. rivalries within the division I love. like when that winning division means. getting a home yeah hanging a banner you. know it means something you know it. means something yeah I guess not every. stadium has division championship. banners but you know I I mean, they that. you still get in, you still get the hat, you still get in the playoffs. And like. we of course winning a division. championship means something, but like. how do we talk about it on here? Like. only one team is happy. So, sure, it.

definitely means something to the. players in in the ownership and. everything like that. Absolutely. And. they're still going to the playoffs. It. just it it feels as though having, you. know, being in a division where there's. only been one great team with the Bills, maybe that's why I I feel this way. like. when you are in these very difficult. divisions, the NFC North, the AFC North, like it does feel like, hey, why you. know if we win 12 games and you know the. Ravens or the Steelers win 13 or we the.

Patriots win 10 games and the Ravens and. the Steelers, excuse me, win 12 or 13. games. Like even looking at that, it's. like if I was a Ravens or Steelers fan, it's like [ __ ] I would I would want. that home playoff. The Lions pitching. this is strictly because week 18 game. against the Vikings, they both have 13. or 14 wins, whatever it was at the time, 13 wins. And they were going to have to. go from seed one, which is permanent. home field advantage throughout the. playoffs, to seed five, which is not. even a home playoff game. Lions win that. game and they still were the ones making.

the pitch because I think they're saying. that was [ __ ] for the Vikings, you. know, like uh because if they would have. lost that game, they would have been. like, "So, we're the best team in second. best team in the entire league and now. we're a five seed. We got to go on the. road through the entirety of it all.". That's a that's it's a fascinating just. had their best regular season in. franchise history and they might have. been a wild card team. I don't see it. changing. Me neither. They had to play. It was great for the NFL. like they had. to play their guys like that was. basically extra playoff game we got from. two of the best teams in the NFL with. with like you said that he four four.

four spots of the playoffs on the line. going from a one to a five. So I don't. see it changing. It's just it's it's. it's too big a part of the NFL and what. the culture is in the NFL. Yeah. Not. saying it's not a good idea. Yeah. Like. not saying it's not a good idea and. thinking that it would work out, but. it's like the way the NFL operates is. they'll be like what? So, you're telling. we we got pull up the numbers. How many. did we get wild card weekend? Uh how. many viewers do we have? Okay. How many. upsets has there been in wild card.

weekend? How many teams have gone on a. run? It's just it feels like the people. that are voting in the room would want. to make that big of a uh a rattle to. their baby. I mean, they're selling. playoff games now directly to streaming. platforms and the numbers in the amount. of money they're getting is just. gigantic. So, not saying they shouldn't. change it, but I don't think that one's. ever going to get changed. No. And like. with the NBA, it makes a little bit more. sense because like sometimes you see. like, oh, like the the Western. Conference has 11 teams that should be. in the playoffs and like the East is.

really bad. So, like that makes sense. But typically in the NFL, it's it's. pretty evened out with how good the. teams are in the AFC and the NFC. There. might be one division like, you know, we. talked about the NFC South the last. couple years. It's like, you know, whoever gets in here is kind of screwing. over one of these teams, but South. Whoa, whoa, whoa. AFC South is back. Yeah, the AFC South, too. But the Texans. have been pretty solid, but very rarely. is it like, oh, the NFC has eight teams. that have 10 wins and the AFC only has. three teams that have 10 wins and and a.

couple of those should get in. Like, it. is typically pretty evenly balanced. between the the two divisions. Coming. out of the league meetings, also we have. uh new flex rules for Thursday Night. Football. Yeah, Tom Pelisera the era. reported that the NFL owners pass a. resolution allowing the league to flex. Sunday games to Thursday night with 21. days notice. Need three weeks if you're. going to cut off three days of my. weekend. No team can do more than two. short week games on Thursday night. And. there can be no more than two of these. games flexed from Sunday to Thursday. I.

assume there's a certain um restrict or. two, like past week seven or past week. eight like they have with Sunday Night. Football. They obviously did this last. year one time I believe and now they're. going to be able to really do it another. time and now they're shortening the. amount of time from 28 days to 21 days. for the notice to go on a short week. I. like anytime these prime time games have. the flexibility to move a shite game. that we all see coming to a good game or. a great game if it is available. There's.

always going to be Cinderella teams that. we don't know are going to be good. So. whenever the schedule makers piece. together these prime time games and. which week who is playing what, they. have no idea that the Washington. Commanders might be the one of the teams. that everybody on earth will want to. watch. A couple years ago, the. Cincinnati Bengals go from a four- win. team to a team that ends up going to the. Super Bowl. So they're not scheduled to. be in a lot of prime time games before. the season starts, but all of a sudden, wait a minute, this team should be on. prime time TV. I wish networks would. pull the trigger more. Yes. On flexing. games. A lot of networks are scared to.

do it because they don't want to piss. off any of the franchises, which are. obviously all individual entities. They. don't want to ruin any relationships. They don't want to piss off any fan. bases either because if you say no to. like a New York team is scheduled, for. three straight prime time games. They. suck. They're not good. We're forced to. watch them. But a lot of networks are. scared to tell their fan base, which is. gigantic. Even though their team stinks, that they're not worthy of being on. prime time. We're going elsewhere. So, I. think if it becomes much more common,

networks will be much more comfortable. making the decision to do it. So, I like. that they're trying to make it easier. for prime time games to get better for. all of us. AJ, yeah, I I like that. they're doing I think they're going to. continue to find creative ways to to get. all the best games like as we as the. season goes in prime time, but think. about how valuable these are when the. whole, you know, schedule release comes. out. That's a big deal. Now, the NFL. does a great job of making that a huge. deal. But you sit there and you. highlight how many prime time games each. team has. So yeah, of course you don't.

want those taken away from you. But you. should also say, "Hey, if you're one of. these terrible teams and you don't have. any prime time games, you might get. flexed into two prime time games if you. you take care of business early in the. year, especially with what the ratings. are later in the year." Ratings are. bigger at the end of the year, so you. can earn your way into it. So you're. right. I think it does give the teams. that are projected to be shy. Mhm. Uh an. opportunity, you know, to earn their way. into prime time. It's And that's how. prime time should be treated, by the. way. When you're in these prime time. games, they're doing pieces and. segments. They're showcasing your team, your city, your building, your players.

Like, prime time games matter. Not just. because people see the field, uh, the. play on the field or get a chance to. experience a fan base and everything. like that, but because they're telling. the story of your team every single week. in different ways. So, whenever the. Dallas Cowboys are on, you know, four. straight, five straight weeks, I mean, how many different Dak Prescott. interviews are we getting in there? How. many different, you know, conversations. about the Jones family in the stadium? Like, they they highlight your. franchise. So, not having a prime time.

game sucks for your business. Oh, yeah. Sucks for your team, sucks for your. players, sucks for your business, sucks. for your city. It sucks for your fans. that aren't in your city cuz they can't. see [ __ ] you know, unless they get. NFL Plus, which is a weapon obviously. for people that are out of their market. But it's like uh I hope they make. flexing more common. Yeah. I I hope it. becomes more common. And when when the. good games the good teams aren't flexed, it sucks for the casual fans who who are. just going to turn on uh the prime time.

game. So I'm right there with you. And. speaking of like Dak, like when Dak got. hurt last year, we still had however. many Cowboys game. Danny Dimes was hurt. New York. Still had the Giants on, you. know, every few weeks. So like a team. like the Colts this year when Anthony. Rich is on his MVP run midway through. the year, we get back to a couple. Thursday night games. And for the fans, it's always great that we get these. games on prime time. But even for the. players, it sucks getting to that. Thursday night game, but once you get. through it and you have that kind of. mini bye-week, you have that weekend. off, um, that's also awesome. Then the.

storytelling aspect of it when you can. tell a relevant story that's unfolding. in real time like Jaden Daniels and the. Commanders last year, for example, CJ. Stout the previous year, maybe Drake. made next year. Um, you know, that's. that's better for the fans, better for. the fan bases, and like you said, for. the organization. Drake maybe. Yeah. Mo. mo mo most likely. Uh but is it still. the situation where some of the networks. can say no? Cuz you remember when the. Ravens and Commanders were the one:00. game on CBS and then the Sunday night. game was absolute shits and everyone was.

like, "Oh, well this is an easy fix. Let's just move the Commanders and the. Ravens to Sunday Night Football." But. CBS was able to say no. Like do they. still have Yeah. Can we change that. rule? Yeah. Like is that rule still in. place? Because that that's the biggest. problem. Yeah. Cuz who's Amazon going to. be able to get it from? Bingo. It's. like, oh, okay. So, instead of this. game, we're getting another Shit's game. uh that is slated for 4:00, but because. CBS and Fox have the the one and four, right? The the daytime [ __ ] They're the. ones that have all the games. Like all.

all the games are AFC one side, NFC the. other, obviously. And they kind of run. that [ __ ] Fox, NFC, CBS AFC. If you're. not in prime time, you're going to be on. one of those probably regionally. depending upon where you're at. So if. they were to get a good game actually, you know, in one of those spots to be. able to do it and then Amazon who has no. affiliation with them with you is like, "Hey, excuse me." Oh, yeah. Yeah. We're. taking that. There's no way they're. going to say a chance. Isn't it where. each I thought I could be wrong. I. thought it was where Fox and CBS have. the right to protect one game each week.

So if they do have, let's just say like. Ravens, Bengals, they're going to. protect that one. But if they're, let's. say, the the Patriots are 8-0 in and. they're playing the Packers who are 7-0. or in this situation, it's the sec, let's pretend it's the second best game. of the week. Amazon can take that one. They can only CBS and Fox I think can. only protect one game. That's the. problem is that like a lot of times. there's only three good like a lot of. times, especially once we get to like. week eight, week 10, there aren't that. many good games. Like two games, two.

good games on a Sunday is very good for. us there for like a five, six week. period. And guess what? One of them's on. CBS and one of them's on Fox. So, or NBC. on Sunday night or Yeah. bingo. So, it's. like even if in that situation like it. really should be more so like, hey, the. four the three prime time games they get. their pick because those are the games. that no matter what we are going to. watch. We have to watch them. We're. watching. And then on Sunday, sometimes. there is that game that comes out of. nowhere that wasn't supposed to be good. and it turns out to be incredible. And.

that's on Sunday. And that's a real. treat. It really is. But those Monday, Thursday, and Sunday night games, they. have to be the best games of the week. And on that note, I'm I'm done with the. way you guys are stacking these games. Oh my god. 1 and 4:00. Okay. We all have. the opportunity for the Quad Box who's. on YouTube TV. Okay. Uh for those that. aren't on to the streaming area yet, uh. at YouTube TV, and I assume Hulu's going. to have this soon. Just. we all we all doing it, okay? With the.

Red Zone channel, we're doing it. There. is no reason for there to be eight in. one and then like three in the other or. whatever it is. Let's make sure we're. making this conducive. Even it out. Let's Let's make sure this as good as. And is Scott Hansen up? Yes. Is that. what I saw? Who's Who's doing it? I. don't know. That's Hey, I you can't just. plug anybody in there. I don't think. he's up after this year or I think he's. up. Yeah, I believe he's like in. contract negotiations right now. They'll. get that done. It feels like they maybe. I don't know. Tony Reali threw his hat.

in the ring said, "Hey, that'd be a. dream job." and Tony Tony that's from um. Around the Horn. Excuse you, D. I just. wanted to make sure he is a free agent. You did a good job. No, we're not we're. not we're not putting Tony there. Tony. would be I think his brain would be one. that could do it. My thing with that red. zone operation there and everybody just. talks about Scott not peeing for seven. hours. Sure. Scott's got to keep up with. Yeah. 10 story lines. Yeah. in seven. hours and uh he's got somebody literally.

chatting with him while he's doing this. about where he's going. Like the talent. that that guy showcases memory has to. remember first quarter whenever he's in. the fourth quarter of all the games and. then also directing of traffic and not. sounding like an [ __ ] Now there's. sometimes where he'll start a narrative. that I don't think is the right. narrative. Okay. And then he'll have to. revisit it a little bit later. Yeah. It. can't it. But he's flying 1,000 m an. hour around. That's a tough gig. I I I.

think he makes it sound. Throw someone. else in there. Can you imagine, Pat, if. you threw someone Just throw some random. in there and say, "Here you go. Give it. a shot for 10 minutes. Imagine like. you're you'd be swimming." I think it's. also like sensory overload too, you. know, cuz the amount of Yeah. I uh. imagine starting that though, knowing. you're going like seven straight hours. just to starting that every Sunday. You. He definitely makes it look much easier. than it is. I think that's the thing. producing it like he's basically live. producing. You can hear him going at. producing. Hey, can we get Can we get. that? Yeah, get the Browns. Browns, can.

we get that play back up? So, yeah, it's. I need Scott in there. Okay. Me, too. I. agree. Me, too. I I think the NFL has to. know that. But maybe not. Well, cuz Sis. Leano used to do it. So, they they might. I mean, if he's playing hard ball, they. might say, "Listen, we'll bring Sis. Leo." No, he's with the Browns now. I. can't. Yeah, I know. I'm sure he'd be. okay with leaving the Browns radio job. to do red zone again. Maybe maybe Adam. Shine throws his Adam Shine could do it. What are it's going to it's going to. take a special talent. It's going to. take a special talent to get in there. that as somebody that speaks into a.

microphone and I believe I probably have. a pretty okay memory and everything like. that. That one I've tried to put myself. in his position at home like all right. how could this work out? This could be. is this a cuz like college ball needs. one you know so like do we pitch that? the NHL could have one, you know, like. there's a lot of those that they could. have, but it's not just as easy as the. concept. The person that is doing it. matters in that entire thing. And it's. just like you have to be in for a long. time. And the way he does it, Drake, I.

don't think that's an easy person to. have kind of doing it. Yeah. Ree was. doing it. He also has to have a general. knowledge of 90% of the players in the. league in case something happens. All. the background. Yeah. That's not an easy. gig. Backup, quarterback. Yeah. All of. it. Like you said too, there's a. difference between like doing TV and. like having a producer in your ear like. a little bit when you're about but like. I assume that there is a producer in his. ear damn near every second of that. entire 8 hour block. Yeah. Hey, this is. next. This is next. This is next. Like. just constantly basically it's like.

having like 15 voices in your head. Anthony Calhoun. [Music]. [Applause]. [Music]. What a song. Yeah. Hon Calhoun, WISH TV. here in Indianapolis. Uh I believe he. was Syracuse classmates with Scott. Hansen. So he does a charity golf outing. to raise money for the local teachers. here, I believe. And one of them is to. spend a day at Red Zone. So I got a. chance uh via his documentation of it.

And it's like watching Scott go. from N I assume it's NFC notes on one. thing, AFC notes on another thing, then. bouncing to the second page of the AFC. note with like four TVs in front of him. without even skipping a beat and then. even looking at the camera afterwards. with like a a point and then goes, "No, let's get to Las Vegas." And it's like. he's directing traffic. He's like a. meteorologist. Hey, we need Scott back. in there. We need Scott. It is no longer.

seven hours of commercial free football. though. True. And nobody cared. People. were pissed there for about a week and. then everybody turned it right back on. and they're like, "Wait a second. Weren't we running L wraps on this thing. this entire time?" whenever he was. saying seven hours of commercial free. football and then I saw Christian. McCaffrey on an LR wrap I'm. like the [ __ ] I think that's a I think I. think you are profiting from this but. now that they're stopping it picture and. picture doing their thing we assume it. was only a matter of time yeah it was.

only a matter of time before that. happened and everybody was pissed. on the internet yeah until the following. too valuable way too valuable they have. to it happens a lot. yeah it does on the internet Yeah, we're. mad and then we're not actually in real. life. And then, you know, as soon as. it's 12:58. Yeah. What four games am I. putting on? Am I. There's one of these ones that just kind. of tracks them all. Put the audio on. You tell me I got to watch Jags Browns. locally. That's the only thing I got. I.

think I'll go to Red Zone. Okay. Yeah. Well, 12:59. Yeah. One more week and. then when Scott goes, "Welcome to 7. hours of Red Zone football. this mother. All right, I'm I'm live. Tomorrow I'll. stop. Yeah, that is They know it. I. couldn't even fathom what the numbers. are. Oh, for Red Zone. Massive. It has. to be a cash cow. Oh, yeah. Absolute. cash cow. I bet those ads fantasy. football. That's all people care about. It's like who's scoring like where's my. who are my fantasy guys? What are they. doing? Parlays. Yeah, like touchdown as.

someone who only bets on touchdowns. scoring parlays. Red zone is basically. the only thing I would have to watch if. I was just worrying about gambling. So. schedule makers, what we're trying to. say is make red zone easier because. we're all watching it. So if you have. the one and four:00 times easily. separated, I think they should be able. to flop those too. Now granted, that. would be cross networks, I guess, but. like if there's three one:00 games, like. should be able to bounce, you know?

Yeah, you're right. You know, cuz. there's like some four:00 slates that. are cropped and then there's like a. loaded one 11 ones. Yeah. And it's like. we need them all. It's like I wish they. would be a little bit more active in. making it easier to kind of do it all. Players would have to be the ones that. would have to adjust to this obviously, but Sunday to Thursday is really the. only one. If you're Sunday at 1 to prime. time, not a big deal. If you're Sunday. to Monday, not that big of a deal. If. you're Monday to Thursday, then then, you know, that would be impossible. seemingly, but that would be a little.

bit different. But yeah, I think they're. we're going to get to a point where it's. going to be a show game because. remember, didn't they say at one point. there was a rumor about like the. afternoon games were going to be up for. sale? Yeah. Do you remember that when it. was going to be like a like a bid? They're going to do like a draft almost. Yeah. I think that's only a matter of. time. Really? Yeah. I think like I think. they're going to try to profit off of. more games. You the if we're thinking. about the NFL obviously. What is the. going to UA? They're going to UAE, right? I mean, yeah, they're Why are. they doing that? Sean McDerm wants to. play over there. As as Con man would.

say, it has to be about the shekels. That is what Con man would say. That. That isn't what I would say, but I I I. I'm picking. Craig said that is what you. said. Yeah. Yeah. Well, in that. question, couple times. No, just once. Thank you today. Maybe spend some of. your shekels all time. Thank you to. today's sponsor, SeatGeek, which is the. greatest ticket buying platform on. planet Earth and the moon. I don't like what my algorithm's been. doing with the moon. What happened? What? What happened? Turns out we don't.

need to worry about tickets on the moon. cuz we never won. Okay. All right. That's what happened. Okay. That's just. what I'm They might be selling tickets. underneath the Great Pyramids though. Okay. All right. I saw something about. that con. Yeah, there's been a lot of. that. Too much. I have to tell my I'll. go. I go in search bar. I go no more. moon stuff. Search. Okay. Just hoping. that the uh the AI understands a lot of. videos. Saw a lot of interviews, old. school interviews. Those are all. doctorred. Okay. Yeah. I I'm sure I'm.

sure Buzz Aldrin would go to go to the. moon and then just willingly a bunch of. years later just say, "Well, we never. went. We never went." I didn't see that. I've been sucking this guy's dick about. going to the moon for 50 years. You. think one day he's just I'm sick and. tired of it. I We We never went. I hate. to burst your butt. Is that what you're. seeing? I didn't see that. I've seen. that. That's not what I saw. The most. obvious doctorred footage ever. Listen, I could go in and What's the doctorred. footage? That's what Conor just they're. saying. I mean, his interviews are.

doctorred. You can take this guy's been. This guy's 90 years old. You can take. his words from 60 different years and. put it together and he'll say anything. He'll say anything. [ __ ] I can I can. make him say that we've went to the he's. been to the moon 450 times in the last 3. years. You know what? I might do that. Actually, wait for that. That video will. be out in the next week. That's right. That's for I haven't seen any of those. interviews. I've seen I'm sorry. You've. seen those. Oh, yeah. AI voiceovers. What's your algorithm trying to do to. you? I don't know. Well, and it's all.

these [ __ ] tagging me and it acting. like we didn't moon. Guess what we did. And no no no amount of, you know, gerrymandered and. and no amount of research that you do is. going to convince me otherwise. Okay. You're you're picking and choosing. It. sounds like your algorithm is joining. their side, too. You're gonna attack. that I know from all angles. Can't do it. anymore. Some of these AIs are watching. the moon landing videos and saying, "Okay, well, this isn't real. You guys, you guys believe that possible?" But you.

did. certification certificate class. Uh, what? Yeah, he uh certification is the. word. Yep, you get it. You got certified. in AI. Uh, not took a 10-minute class. that turned into a 4-hour class. I think. you went to expert level. This guy might. have his masters. 45 minutes. I didn't. get I got 45 minutes worth. It was great. work. Got to go back and it was, you. know, just learning some of the basics, some of the terminologies. What do we. need to know about AI that maybe we fear. or that we don't know about? Yeah. Uh the things we're fine. We'll always.

need humans. We'll always need humans. What's the great exactly what they want. you to think? Always humans. The great. benefit I mean the benefit is you can. just you know multiply whatever work. you're doing. So what if you okay if. you're or if you could just obviously. type [ __ ] in how we build photos on. Grock the AI photos if you want to put a. flyer out if you want to put classes out. if you teaching learning obviously all. those u yeah cheating for sure so kids. now I mean they just type in anything.

and just why do we why will we always. need humans because we direct that thing. uh we direct it and then they we have to. for now Mhm. for now because he has a. certificate, not you. Okay. I watch this. guy do a class though. Hey, Debo though. How do we keep it from directing itself. and directing us and changing, you know, ruining us? I don't have the answer. Why did you. take the. classified man official that he took the. class? Okay. And this one said, this one.

said, "Can you really think that was. number one?" And then he went through 45. minutes. Went through it all. I believe. what you told me though is they'll never. understand conversation. AI will never. So what's say no? So it's just certain. context that we have with conversation. So even even in our age group, a certain. conversation that we can have amongst 10. year olds and it would just go. completely over the head and it's. [ __ ] old people from that are 90. years old that can say certain things. that we wouldn't pick or if we're. speaking a language, if we're speaking. Spanish, but Spanish speakers can speak.

and say things that we wouldn't. necessarily get. So yeah, they can. figure some [ __ ] out, but it's so much. context that you know the internet are. machines and they're learning. What do. you It's just the beginning though, D. but the beginning. This another class. It is just the beginning. This is 2011. Can a computer talk like a human? That's. a good episode. Yes, that that was the. part we're talking about. Yeah, but see. that's the problem is that. like you just mentioned like school and. humans and stuff like AI will become so. good at it that people won't actually. learn anything. So then people will.

start to get much dumber and then the AI. is getting smarter. You're talking about. idiotocracy, brother. Look, I'm just. saying look out. The um AI put that. class together for him. So that was a. thing. Those were humans. All right. The. humans over at IBM. Do you know that? Oh, at IB. You sure it wasn't Watson? Was it? You mean Watson computer? Might. have been Watson. And that's why they're. always going to need humans, too. Who's. going to do all the manual labor? Who's. going to wear the shackles and chains. that the eventually? Guess what? We are. We are. That's the, you know, so yeah, they will always need you. Well, before.

that happens, why don't you go get a. ticket to a game? Enjoy while you can. You might as well. You're alive, but are. you living? Go live and experience. something live with our friends at. SeatGeek. They have over 28 million. downloads. 28 million downloads. Downloads. SeatGeek is uh still the. number one rated ticketing app. How. about it? 28 million downloads. Number. one. Yeah. What's that? What is that? What do. you mean? Is that AI doing half of that? Well, the thing about the AI that they. have, okay, Sege Geeks AI has been. around for a while. It's a mature AI. It.

actually scans the rest of the internet. to make sure that the ticket that you're. buying is a good ticket to buy. Their AI. will snoop around other places and. they'll say, you know what, this is a. overpriced [ __ ] ticket and they'll. uh there'll be a red dot next to the. ticket, which is basically Segeek's AI. telling you, hey, go find a better. ticket elsewhere. Then it'll snoop. around and say, "Oh, it's a good. ticket." They'll put a green dot next to. it. So, you not only have an AI tag team. partner whenever you're shopping at. Segeek, but you also have a transparent. uh ticket buying platform that tells you.

this is a bad deal. Do not buy this. ticket. Speaking of, we have 1,750. tickets going up for sale tomorrow at. noon for big night. One week from tomorrow, uh, we're able. to move some cameras. Oo. Open up a. section or two. Mhm. Get more people in. the giveaway. zones, get some more people in the. building, get some more people to. experience a big night at in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Now, I do not know if any.

tickets will be on Seek because this. will obviously be sold through ticket. master uh tomorrow. But every other. event that happens in the world, Seek. has tickets to. And right now you can. get $30 off your tickets with code PMS. 2025. Used to be Pat, remember? Then he. got on to Reddit and then Ticket. Stoogge, who is now Leverage Stoge. Yep. He said, "Uh, hey, we can't just have. this thing getting spammed out here. We're going to have to change it." So, we've changed it. PMS. 2022. That works for all event types, NBA, NHL, concerts, comedy, whatever.

Shout out to Siki. Love you, Siki. Restrictions apply. Mhm. Always. Always. Yeah. Can't get $30 off tickets that are. less than 30 bucks. Mhm. That would make. sense. Seat Geek's not paying you. No, but shout out to SeatGeek. Seatgeeek is. taking care of us. Yeah, love Seek. That's Would it help though? Is it going. to help the fact that uh I don't know if. you guys saw like Kid Rock wearing like. his evil conval jumpsuit. He was in. there and they're trying to pass a bill. to, you know, for resale, right? For. resale tickets where they the secondary. buyers come and screw everybody else. over. So, that's a good thing. Yeah. Uh.

he was in the Oval Office and uh he. Yeah. Krock. Yeah. Yeah, he was he was. dressed like evil conval and evil conval. son Robbie Convie do not forget respect. on his name. Come on now. Absolutely. Second generation conval. Robbie killed. it too. Robbie was not like evil too. Like he was he was awesome. Robbie. here's kid rock. Nope. No. That is that is that's KR. brother. That is uh he ordered a missile. strike gun.

That's kid rock. He but they they did. sign a bill uh trying to eliminate. ticket fraud and scammers. So like even. obviously with Big Night Out, I did not. know the extent of it. We had no idea. what was going to happen with those. ticket sales, but it was pretty evident. that there was some sort of uh AI or. robots, you know, buying tickets before. anybody else could get them. They were. just either or there was multiple people. with multiple different loginins trying. to get those and then immediately going. up on the secondary market at an up. price. I think Taylor Swift had a. situation take place where it ended up.

in the Supreme Court I think with the. entire fraud and the entire thing. Yeah. So, this has been a business that people. have been taking advantage of uh not. only venues and. like it the fans but also the artists. and everything else going on. So, that. would be a big deal. I don't know how. they regulate it though. Like we're just. talking about AI and Darius who is our. certified AI expert said these. [ __ ] never be able to talk to. us because they won't be able to catch. our drift. you know, they won't be able. to understand what we're saying in that. whole thing, but I think they'll always.

be able to buy a ticket, you know, like. I think AI will always be able to be, boom, here's my credit card and I want. it and you're out. So, how do they. monitor that? How do they regulate that? Hopefully, they get that under control. because as somebody who loves going to. live events whenever you see like. there's we we're selling tickets for 20. bucks to get in. Some of those tickets. were hundreds of dollars, 500, 600 bucks. immediately on the secondary market. And. it's like that's so [ __ ] up for our. people. Like the people that I wanted to. get the reason why it's priced that way.

is cuz the people that I wanted in, you. know, like I want that crowd in that. building. Like I that's who I want. But. instead it goes and once again this is. my first show, our first show, very. small sample size, but even we. experienced it and felt it. I couldn't. even imagine what these big time artists. uh feel about it, you know, and uh. hopefully they do get that set. A lot in. the music industry is kind of having to. get figured out or kind of getting. sorted right now. The ticketing thing is. very very real. Comedians as well. obviously. Yeah. And the ownership of. everything too. Like that was the.

biggest thing for it feels like a couple. years when it came to Taylor Swift and. her owning her own music and then people. started selling their entire cataloges. You remember that where you know Justin. Timberlake sold all of his music. Yeah. Springsteen. Yeah. It's very. interesting. But then they can re-record. them. Yes. And then Taylor's version. bingo is their own. is bigger than like. my wife only listens to Taylor's version. cuz she's like I'm sporting Taylor and. it's like hell yeah good for you good. for Taylor she's getting double she. double dip which once again Taylor Swift.

is a super genius and uh a lot of these. artists are great business business. folks. So if that was to happen I think. he'd probably win over some folks. Let's. go back to the league meetings happening. down in Florida. You know the Pittsburgh. Steelers talking about business proposed. an ability to chitchat with the free. agents during the tampering period. You. know, we had free agency frenzy on ESPN. ESPN NFL had their free agency frenzy on. ESPN 2 at the same exact time. Biggest. day of the offseason. Uh they had their. show. We weren't allowed to have anybody. from their program on our program. We're.

live at the same time they are. But it's. a big deal. But that's just the opening. of the tampering period. That's not even. the actual free agency period starts, which is on Wednesday at 4:00. So, like. ESPN viewed the tampering period opening. at noon so big that they wanted multiple. shows covering it immediately at noon, but the rules of the NFL were that the. teams weren't even allowed to talk to. the players, the free agent players, that they had negotiated deal before the. tampering period even began. They talked. to their agents. Obviously, they were. able to get a deal done and everything,

but they weren't able to like meet them. because it was some reason prohibited. So, the Steelers were like, "Shouldn't. we be able to at least chitchat with. these guys? we're going to give hundred. and some million dollars to uh a day. before we meet them. And uh that got. passed. I think probably everybody was. feeling that way. Up to five free agents. are allowed to chat with starting at the. tampering period. They're also saying. it's a way to set up either meetings or. medical or whatever the case is. I think. it's a good idea. I think a lot of. things that are getting passed right now. have make common sense and this is. certainly one of them. Yeah, they're. allowed to do one video or phone call. with up to five free agents uh like you. said during that tampering period that.

started I believe at noon on Monday uh. before the the beginning of the league. new year. But yeah, it makes sense. Like, sure, you could talk to the agent. The agent can say, "Yeah, everything's. good here." But you would much rather. talk to the person who's going to be on. the team, who's going to be playing for. you. This one, there was a lot of uh. rules that got passed that that just. were like made sense and were like, "Why. wasn't this already a thing?" And this. was was probably one of them. Yeah. I uh. I like this. Yeah, I like this. I can't. believe this had been happening without. it. Yeah. I think this is one of those.

ones where I was surprised when I found. out that people weren't talking to the. new team. Yeah, we signed this guy to uh. 230 million bucks. Did you talk to him? No. No. No. Talk to the agent say he's a. good guy. A good guy. Well, you [ __ ]. better hope so. I mean, and then it. doesn't happen. Obviously, I'm talking. about Cleveland, but it is a uh this. makes a lot of sense. I like this. Yeah. You think it'll change for agency at. all? Because like a situation like the. Patriots with Milton Williams where you. know, hey, the Patriots are out. he's. signing with the Panthers, but instead.

of him flipping back to New England in. that situation where if he is kind of. talking to the Panthers on a Zoom call. or something like he will even have a. chance to call the Patriots back, per. se, cuz if their one call is over, you. know, then he, you know, cuz then he. ends up with the Panthers and then do. you think some guys, let's say they. schedule five people, but you know, you. don't even make it to the fifth team and. they sign you to the first team, like. does that call count towards the people. that you have kind of slotted as the. five. Yeah. And are you spending all.

five on top money guys or is it like. second third wave guys too that you kind. of want to chat with that you're paying. medium salaries to? There'll be a. strategy to all this. It will be always. is. But I'm I'm with you. I like it too. If you're especially from the team. standpoint, player standpoint too, team. standpoint, I think it was Tomlin or. someone from the Steelers organization. saying, "Yeah, we just got time to spend. intimate time with Aaron Rogers and get. to know him." And if you're investing. tens of millions of dollars into a. player, into a person, you definitely. want to know and have some in-person. conversation with that individual. Yeah,

for sure. Yeah. Who is this guy? He's. getting paid more than anybody in our. locker room. Yeah. How about the. Steelers signing DK Mech after this deal. and then being like, we need to be able. to [ __ ] talk to this guy. Okay. I am. sick of this, you know, cuz the. Steelers, this isn't really their mo day. one free agency or anything like that. This is not their thing. Now they're. getting involved in it. They're like, "You guys have been doing what this. whole time." No way is that how we're. going to be doing this um going forward. Have an update here. Uh we talked about. Kirk Cousins potentially going to the.

Cleveland Browns, which has been gaining. steam because of Kirk Cousins. relationship with Stfansky. Hebo, genius, stats guy from ESPN, who we. appreciate. He's AI. He uh he is AI. Bit. of AI. Hembo is an AI. Yeah. Yeah. He's. a human AI. Yep. Him and O. O is a demon. Yeah, Pelisero, I think, is what you're talking about. Yeah, Pelisero is the one that's plugged in. Yep. Yeah, he is. I mean, O has a little. bit of everything. He's a demon. He's. AI. He's an alien. He's all of it. He's.

a freak. He is a little bit of a freak. Shape shifter probably. There is a. chance he does do a. little, you know, now you see me, now. you don't type thing. Anyways, Hembo, the stats AI uh from ESPN said, uh Kirk. Cousins had a. 107.5 passer rating with Kevin Stfansky. as his offensive coordinator for the. 2018 2019 Vikings. That's the highest. playing under any OC of his entire. career. So, saying that Stfansky and.

Kirk Cousins uh could potentially do. well together is uh with stats backing. that up. highest of Kirk Cousins careers. with Stfansky as the OC. Does that. change anything for you, AJ? You think. the Browns are going to pick up Kirk. Cousins potentially here in the next. month or two? I mean, I think it can't. hurt. It definitely changes a little. bit. The fact that they have a history. and a past together like why wouldn't. Stfansky want to bring Kirk Cousins in? Now, the question is like, can they can. they pay it? How much more is he owed? Like 80 mil, something crazy more than. that? Uh, I don't know the exact I know.

it's 37. I think it was 27 then an extra. 10. uh as of March, I forget the date, just a few weeks back. They can make it. work though, right? If they want him, they can make it work, can't they? Well, if the Falcons want him out of the. building, they can make it work. Like. the Falcons can pick up a lot of the a. lot of the pay, you know, that's what. happened with Russell Wilson, Denver. Broncos situation where he goes to the. Pittsburgh Steelers. Now, I believe the. Broncos, did they cut? Yes, they cut. Russell Wilson. So, that was a part of. that entire deal with the dead cap. But, it's like Falcons trading them. You can.

negotiate how much of the salary you. want to pay versus the other team. And. what will somebody give up? Will the. Cleveland Browns be able to give up? Who. knows? Hers has to also sign off on it, right? Since he has a no trade clause. and he said, was that 18 19? Yeah. 2018, 2019. Well, Brady wants to be still your. quarterback. Yeah, Brady's in New. England. Yeah. So, what are you saying, dude? Trying to remember what happened. Kurt Cousins. We found out. I like Kurt. Why? Why do you I like Kurt. I'm I'm. talking about football and the players. We're not making this personal. We're. talking about football. Oh, no. No. I. bet as a player, man. We don't make this.

personal. We talk football. NFL Pro Plus. premium like me and Bruce are doubt in. there you know and and the quarterback. series like I think no one looked better. than Kirk Cousins. I feel like Kirk's. one of those guys that everyone does. like but boy did he stink at football. last year. You know there were some. moments here where he looked like he was. still struggling from the Achilles and. maybe not fully comfortable in the. offense which very possible. So, perfect. thing for Cleveland would do would be, hey, let's sink some sink some more. money into this quarterback room. And. you know what, Andrew Barry and Kevin.

Stfansky, sure. Ownership screwed you. Instead of drafting a young guy, let's. bring in an old guy. And then guess. what? If this doesn't work out, you know. what? Maybe next year. Mhm. Well, it. does from what Hasslam said down at the. owners meetings. Uh, this is what he. said. Let's address the elephant in the. room. You know, we took a big swing and. miss with Deshawn. We thought we had the. quarterback. We didn't. Uh, and we gave. up a lot of draft picks to get him. So, we've got to dig ourselves out of that. hole. Shouldn't they be held accountable.

for that decision? Listen, I I've said. this, I think, numerous times. The. Deshawn Watson was a entire organization. decision and it ends with DNI. So, you. know, hold us accountable. Hey, don't. you think Andrew Barry and Sansky should. be held accountable? Listen, I've said. this, I think, before. We haven't heard. it. We've all assumed it was the case. We all assumed it was the Hasslams that. decided to pay Deshawn, which is why. Stfansky and Andrew Barry have been. given this entire leeway because if you. continue to not have success, you would.

think that they would be looking for. turnover, but I think uh Hasslam looks. Andrew Barry in the eye and goes, "Uh, we screwed you over pretty. good." It's the first time he said this. public. Well, I don't know how public. was that was that. Did you know he was. Yeah, ESPN recorded that is what we were. told. That was ESPN recording. I believe. there's probably no cameras, maybe just. audio in that room. But it did it did. sound like that was a phone under a. pocket, but none ESPN recorded it. Don't. Please. Please. Hey, he's not. passing blame. He's not passing blame. I.

like taking ownership. I respect it, too. We took a big swing. Big miss. It. sucks. We move. See you another day. Just like we will see you tomorrow. Goodbye. But like I enjoyed the way he. laid that out. Yes. We took a big swing. Mhm. Okay. Cuz think about how good he. felt whenever he decided to do this. Oh. man. Cleveland Browns are no longer in. the conversation. It's either going to. be the Falcons or the Saints allegedly. was the Deshun Watson market at the. time. He wanted out of the Texans, wanted out of the Texans. He was wearing. a green hat one time. He's going to.

Philadelphia. Now he's going to the New. York Jets. Well, then everything very, very, very serious off the field came. around. And the thought was, well, is. this guy still going to be able to get. traded? Who cares who wants him? Well, he's on a football field. He's. unbelievable. And obviously these are. just allegations at this point. All that. happens and then the market becomes him. and Atlanta and the Saints are his final. spots. Cleveland had been ruled out and. then out of nowhere Ham's walk around. his office with his wife. There's a guy. available. We're going to have to take. it on Shins bit. Okay. Top three.

quarterback. Did you see that JJ Watt. miked up clip? Yeah. Where he's walking. off the field with Deshaawn Watson. doesn't ask Pat says, "Sorry, we wasted. an NFL MVP year of your so sorry." JJ. Watt thinks he's good. Don't Don't me. We should. Yeah. What do you think it's. going to take? Go to Andrew Barry. What's it going to take? Andrew Barry. calls Muletta. Mulageta goes, "Ah, $230. million fully. guaranteed." That's a lot. Andrew Barry. says back to Migetta. Muletta goes, "You. want Cleveland or not?" Andrew Barry.

hangs up. Calls the Ham's office back. He said 230 million guaranteed. Hamm and. Diggo. We thought he was going to say. 250. We saved 20 million. [ __ ] send. it. No flubs. That cuz that happened. like overnight. It was like a boom bang. pow. Boom. Gone. Signed. Biggest deal in. history. Most guaranteed money in. history. Oh my god. The entire NFL is. now on notice because of what Hasslam. just did. And it just has not worked. out. No. At all. At all. On the field, off the field. Might have said the NFL. back fully guaranteed contract. Might.

have ruined other quarterbacks. Might. have changed that for I know. I know. Josh Allen just got what 250 something. like that guarantee. Yeah. Guarantee. But Oh yeah. Once Deshawn happened, we. thought like, oh yeah, this is, you. know, when Lamar's up and this guy's up. and that guy's up and for it to work out. like it did. But at that time, you know, you got a top three, four quarterback in. his prime available walking around his. office. Mhm. We did it, D.

I was actually waiting for him in that. clip to be like, you know what? Now that. I think about this was kind of D's idea. I was just Yeah. Look, I I said no, but. D, she wanted it. So, think about Andrew. Barry going in every year to describe. the team now. Well, since we're in a. deficit, $120 million. Okay. This is. what everybody else can do. Remember, this is what we have the capability of. doing. And Jimmy's like, I get you. You. got another three, four years. You need. it. Jesus, I messed it up. I get it. I. made a big dumb decision. But remember,

in a moment, we're going to win a Super. Bowl. Yeah, the end of the month we're. going to win a Super Bowl if it worked. out. Think about it. I mean, it was a. big swing. No question. Huge swing. So, either you're the hero and you find a. way to win the Super Bowl or this is. probably worst case scenario, right? What happened with it? No doubt. Yeah. For all parties. Except for Deshawn. All parties except. for Deshawn. That's why like the Shadur. at the top just feels like it makes more. sense because then you at least give him. like, hey, now you do now your clock's. actually on. You got three, four years. You have Shadur Sanders and the.

conversation about the draft is how you. know deep the pass rushers and you know. the linemen are and the tight ends. It's. like hey the quarterbacks basically are. Cam Ward Shadore Jackson Dart it feels. like now and then kind of the next tier. if the tier thing is how we're kind of. approaching it when it comes to the. group of players. So, I mean, maybe they. do do the Carter and Miles Garrett and. roll with uh, you know, Kenny Picket, but it does feel like to what Trager.

said, hey, if they told Garrett there's. a plan and Garrett believes in the plan. and that plan does include $40.1 million. a year for Miles Garrett, like maybe. that is a legitimate choice for them. Yeah, that's the whole different animal. there. Whenever Andrew Barry goes back. to Hazm and says, "I got bad news again, buddy.". What's that? Miles Garrett, not only is. he dunking on me in his statement, but. he wants the hell out of here. And has. goes, "What's it going to take?" So. Andrew Barry goes, "What's it going to. take?" Uh, $40 million go. Send it.

Yeah. Miles Garrett, keep him around. And he tried to meet with Ham and I. don't you talk to Andrew Barry. Tell. Andrew what you need. You tell Andrew. what he needs. He'll call me in a panic. I'll agree to it. He's seen this game. before. Yeah. What if the Browns win? Hey, good luck. Yeah, what? No chance. They won't. No chance. 0%. They could. zero% zero. Feel like you say this every. offseason. Hey, what if the Browns win? Browns are going to win. That division. is hell. Yeah, but I try to be as.

optimistic as possible. Just like I'm. optimistic about the Colts. Holy hell. The win. Win what though? Like the Super. Bowl. Browns make the playoffs. I'm not. saying that's going to happen. I'm. saying what if the Browns make the. playoffs with all these conversations. I. mean, you said it, the Bengals, the. Texans, Commanders. None of those teams. were making the playoffs before the year. that they did. That's true. You're. right. Miles Garrett, too. A little bit. more ownership of the Browns. Not that. he didn't have it before, but he's re, you know, recharged. Yeah, we saw him on. the inseason Hard Knocks Texan in the.

meeting room. That's a good point. Yeah, he was doubted. He's playing Candy. Crush. It's a good game. It's a good. game. It is. I mean, look at the success. of the number two picks the last couple. years. Exactly. TJ, good luck, Jaden. Mhm. Shador Shador, that was the thing. The Browns are. definitely taking a quarterback at two. That was like two weeks ago. That was. Mary Kay Kab said, "Yeah, she said they. might take two in the first round.". They're trading back in to get another. quarterback in the first round. Mary Kay.

has been covering the Browns a long. time. This is weeks ago, brother. With that. being said, fools. You got to watch put. a pundit hat on. It's always tough for. the insiders. Hey, the goal post got me. The goal post got me. No joke. I was. like, I don't know how they're going to. do it. It was going to obstruct some. views from people in the end zone. I. don't know how the balls maybe to block. a few extra things, but hey, why not? The only thing I was thinking is that. thing was a little bit wider. You know. what? But what if they have palm trees. that go in? Yeah. We don't want that. You got to make sure those palm trees. are going out. Mhm. You know, we need to.

keep the top clip tight. You ever see. those? Sell seats. Sell seats on the. crossbar, too. Make it wide so people. can sit there and watch the game. It's. like the camera. If the ball hits them, it's good. Okay. I like that. And people. can actually bat it in. Yeah. They could. hang underneath like a roller coaster. Like beer pong. Yeah. It hits the rim. Boom. Knock out. They can bat it in. Yeah. It's not a bad idea. I mean, are. we trying to get people to the game or. not? Are we trying to go to the game or. not? This isn't Pitbull Stadium, is it? No. It's FIU, right? FIU, correct? Miami. Cuz he's Mr. Worldwide for.

International Universe. Yes. Oh, yeah. Pitull st uh stadium. Got addition to. the Thunderdome, AJ. I don't know if you. saw it uh on the wide shot if I don't. know if it was here yesterday when you. were here. I have no idea. No. Oh, no. This was coming like this was on the. way. I didn't get to see it. Yeah, that's the puncher power thing. Mhm. You. guys been doing it? Hit it a couple. times this morning. Uh Bruce, who is a. trained boxer if you do recall? Oh, okay. Hit a 921 on that thing. I was not. here for it, but he had to give it a.

good thump. Um I banged it a little bit. I'm a little worried though. I'm a. little worried it might be 11, but we're. gonna have to reset it. Oh, hit one, eight something, let's say. Hit one 9 something and then I really. laid into it. I mean, there was the last. one was by far the cleanest rattle and. put full ass into it and it was like 801. or like lowest and I'm like, uhoh, can't have that. Get get that thing. calibrated. Needs to be calibrated. Can.

you kick it? Can you get your leg up. there? Anyone kick it? That would be. sweet right now. Uh, what's that? I. think it's currently calibrated right. Yeah, it looks like it is. It's been. dancing this whole [ __ ] time. I know. It's It needs to figure it out. It looks. cool, though. It does look cool. Yeah, it is sweet. Kicking is going to be. tough, I think, unless you do one of. Also in my algorithm as of late, uh I. think it's karate, they go through the. boards. Mhm. Where they run, get tossed. Yep. And then. they land it. Yeah. They get tossed. Tossed. Oh, I haven't seen thrown up.

Run galloping like a clean run and then. they catch somebody and then boom, they're in the sky. They're doing uh I. need your algorithm four time one of. these. Yeah, I got through a board. that's being held like up on a a pillar. So now I've seen that nuts cuz I was I. see that I was you know I've said this. before but back in the day you had a. friend that knew karate you're okay in. most places without you know but now. with the mixed martial arts thing you. know the karate one is going to need. more. You're going to need more than.

just karate. Really? I don't know. I. think I jiu-jitsu guy will get you down. Yeah, I'll take a jiu-jitsu taquin black. belt. Yeah. What you're saying is all. the other ones like karate good to have. in the arsenal back pocket. can you know until you go to the ground. though. That's not karate is not going. to help you on the ground. Yeah. I'm. worried about the uh the MMA. cauliflower. Yeah. Cuz they're going. down the bottom and you're going to. throw that board in there. I think. karate good to have with you. Sure. But.

I I think you need more. I What I'm. saying is if I got a black belt in. karate with me, I'm I'm pumped to be. with a ninja. I'm pumped. But I do know. that if we get to somebody that has. ground and pound capabilities, we're. both [ __ ] Okay. Now, if karate person. also has ground and pound, another. belt, now we're in a great need multiple. belts now to be completely safe in a lot. of places. But with that being said, when I saw the flying karate kicks, we're back. Oh yeah. Because you know.

the call flyer you want to go ground and. pound. Mhm. If you got a karate friend, you need to take it to the sky. Yeah. Oh. yeah. Okay. So that is what I learned. from my algo. And uh you just got to. have strategies. You got to know where. you're at. You got to know who you're. with. You got a karate guy, start. practicing this one. Yep. If you get his. ass up in the sky, from what I have. seen, like a cat, land on their [ __ ]. feet. Mhm. And while in sky precision, you got a chance. Okay. And it's loud, too. There's a lot of yelling. Very.

loud. Oh, yeah. I'm sure it has a lot of. good carryover in any real combat. situation. It does. Guy up on a a ledge. at a bar. Yep. Throws a bottle down at. you. Okay. Okay. You dodge bottle. obviously cuz you're with a guy who. knows karate and he has the seventh. sense to let you know that that's the. case. You turn, you see him, he goes, "What? Your karate friend? Hi King. You assemble. Okay. You and the lads put. your drinks down for a second. You're. not throwing bottles back obviously, but.

karate guy, karate friend, karate man. runs, you cheerleader toss up and that. guy up on the bar goes from this to. that. And he's out. And that's Hey, now. we're doing twotory fighting. And uh. that's what it's like when you're in the. sky with a karate guy. Need that. animated right there. That whole guy. just Now I'm rethinking it. You're. right. I got I got the. high run over there. The issue is if you.

don't have a ground in pound, you do. have to go to places that have two. stories. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. That's. a big part of the crew. Only twotory. places. Can't be at one of those [ __ ]. hole bars that has a real low roof. No, that is not where you want to be. Good. news. We are screwed. Every karate highf. flyier knows a ground and pounder. So. there it's like they're basically a. package deal. Okay. You better hope so. If not, need to stay on the lower level. of a multi-level bar. Sure. Mhm. Cuz. they're never going to expect No. Mhm.

coming out. But what if he's like what. if he's on the third story and he jumps. down to the first and kicks him from. there? Doesn't need Boosted. Is he Are. we fighting a karate kid as well? We. didn't know that was No. Our karate kid. our karate kid sees our target down to. the first level. He's on the third. level. Jumps off the balcony. He doesn't. need your help to boost him. Are we. doing that, too? He's got he's eyes. He's our spotter is what you're saying. He's like our sniper. He's Jack Ryan up. in the tower. Then you become the. filmer, the guy who's tossing. Yeah. You. need to get that on film. Yeah, I got. the camera then. Yeah. Need to get that.

on film. Especially if guys coming down. from three stories, 30 ft, and he comes. through, glides through the Yeah. Maybe. a front. Oh my god. Lands it easy. Does. like a parkour roll to land. I do enjoy. the parkour. That's been in my timeline, too. I seen this guy do a uh he did a. double mcwisty sideways flip thing. A. Benson boon I'll call it cuz he's doing. a lot of those. This thing two. buildings. Was it necessary? No. Might. have been 40 50. I mean just so casual.

jumping over that's dead. I think there. was rocks. I think there was rocks on. both sides. It's like what do they. what's wrong with Oh yeah. They die. Not. the one I It happens. No, but I'm saying. those guys are unbelievable. They'll. jump super high and they have weight. Like they use their their body to like. absorb the landing and then roll out of. it. Like they're they're freaks. They're. legit. They use it every day in everyday. situations. I would. Seems like it. It's. what it's for. If you're a parkour guy. Yeah. If I had that, it' be [ __ ] you. Yeah. Jackie Chan, dude, remember he.

used to get out of everywhere. There was. a wall. I don't think so. He saw stairs. Pump pump. He's the goat. Yeah. The. goat. Him and Tom. Yeah. Mhm. Jackie is. still doing it. Oh yeah. Except Karate. Kid movies coming. Karate Kid Legends. Jackie Chan. Oh [ __ ] Trailer actually. dropped today. I think you know the best. thing about those Jackie Chan movies, we're all going to say it. The credits. Oh yeah, the out takes. Yeah. The fact. that he did his own stunts. Well, that. Yeah, because Jackie Chan movie deals. I don't.

stay for the I only stay for the credits. of Marvel movie. This is unbelievable. Rush Hour. Just watch Rush Hour. Guy. disrespects every movie. I watched Rush. Hour the other day, too. I watched it. this weekend. It was on. Yes. Yeah, I. loved it. I was trying to guess the I. was trying to guess the characters like. do I still know cuz very early there is. a boat war fight first Juntow yes shows. up with the air he goes I'm looking for. Juna and then he goes why are you. looking for me and then boom it's off. and I'm like oh yeah we're back in it. and I I don't think my wife had seen.

Rush Hour which was a full what are we. doing here great movie what conversation. that happened between us had to pause it. actually to have a how does that happen. how does that one slip through the. cracks We get there. I haven't seen a. Disney movie, so I guess she had a lot. to say back. We press play to that. thing. I forgot. So good. So that's. that's a good one. Rush Hour 2 also. holds up very good. But you need to stay. for the credits. I mean, that's remember. that's what they're all laughing at. Jackie and Jackie, why only the Marvel. movies? Well, you got to Easter egg post.

post credits. You got to see what's. what's coming next. And they introduce. different characters. Yes, they do. Whose voice is that? Just some superhero. fan. It sound like Cody Rhodess love. basically. Who was it? Was that Shady. who was running up and down uh giving. spoilers for Marvel movies, he became my. favorite human when I heard that? They. hated him on Twitter. Oh yeah. Hey, I. got to see Blank early. It was wild. howum. I can't believe Iron Man died. He. said on like the Wednesday before the. movie came out and people were not.

happy. That happened to Hulk as well. Mark Ruffalo was doing an interview. before the Infinity War. He's like, "Just wait. Everybody dies." And then he. Oh, was I not supposed to say that? And. they they were not happy with it. So now. the superhero world is not as strong as. it once was though, right? It's coming. back. It is. Who is that? With Secret. Wars. You got a superhero. They're. bringing back all the main uh all the. main guys. Really? I saw a video the. other day where they were just panning. out. Yeah. Yeah. All the all the mains.

are coming back. All the main guys. And. they also made Iron Man a different. character now. So Robert Diamond Jr.'s. is back as well. He's a bad guy now. Dr. Doom, you could say. Are they going to. bring Are they. All right. Are they going to bring uh. What do you want to talk about? Marvel. Universe. Okay. I wasn't doing I wasn't. doing that. Well, I thought you were. That's unbelievable. What's this guy. doing? Tony Rhodess dropped John Cena. last. night. Crossroads.

Cena was cooking, fam. He was He was He. was burying it. Yeah. I like how Cody. did a little B rap. Of course, I grew up. in a trailer park and yeah, he did [ __ ]. my girl. He did do that. What were you. going to say about Marvel? Oh, they bring Snow White in to uh Oh, turns out that idea. They should bring. They should bring Zgler into one of. these Marvel things. Uhhuh. And just. have it happen. They canceled all her. stuff actually. No, but that's what I'm. saying. Well, could do it in a way. You.

know, if Disney owns Marvel, Disney. could really get what they pay for out. of get, you know, drop drop her in a. Marvel universe. What's going on here? And somebody just All right. Yeah. And. then just keep it walking. Yeah, it's. not a bad idea. That'd be a good little. self. I I am I am IMDb 1 something. Yeah. Yeah. Setting up to be the. biggest. How is that even? Well, I'm. guessing that's a lot of people who. haven't seen the movie, but uh they're.

not exactly okay with what's going on. around the movie, so they just go right. in and say, "Oh, this one I think this. is zero out of 10." Who gets to vote on. those? Anybody? Okay. I I thought that. was potentially people that were No, that happens a lot. It's a It's the. lowest score of all time. Snow White. Snow White. The new Snow White. Is that. what you're talking about? Yeah. It's. not out yet. What about Rotten Tomatoes? What have they done? Uh I think it was. super juicy. Yeah. Are there people? Oh, certified fresh. You know exactly what. happened. And it does suck because those.

movies do do well. Like that always live. action. 40% on Is that good? It's 40%. good. No, that'd be rotten. But uh it's. not, you know, it's not terrible. It's. not 1.7 bad. I think um I think dropping. Snow White in Marvel movie would be. good. That'd be cool. Or like a John. Wick. She just arena killing a bunch of. people. Yeah, maybe. You know, the. accountant 2 is coming out. Ben Affleck. That looks good. Love the person. He was. a killer sniper mercenary type guy. He.

had to do media for that. Was talking. about a lot of things. Ben. Oh, he was. I didn't see that. Yeah. John Bernthal. Let's go. Oh, John Bernthal is legit. Yeah. There's another movie somebody's. in that we're uh Modland, the uh TV. show. There it is. Yeah. There's another. Yeah, Bruce was talking about it. Is. that good? Pierce Broman, Tom Hard. haven't watched yet. Hey, speaking of. good, um Jameus Winston bat a thousand. as New York Giants uh quarterback. We. have a clip of him describing what life.

could be like if they play football. well. Winning uh for me uh in the NFL, it's required for this organization to. start winning, you know, so we can have. more more more giggles, more laughter, more fun uh in this in this building. Like we in the biggest city of the. world, we should enjoy that. Uh and I. think winning uh does that. So when it. comes to looking at their record, I. didn't I didn't look at this team being. a three and 14 team. I looked at what. what is possible. And what I saw was. possible is an offense that can execute.

efficiently and can that can be. explosive. I saw a defense with an. incredible front and I saw this. offseason of them adding uh Paul Nibbo. and Javon Holland in the back end to. create some noise to help that front get. home. Uh and I and I and I just figured. that the Giants man they they don't look. like a three and 14 team from the talks. of you know uh people talking about I. know Kon I know Byron a little bit and. Dex like from from their talks and their. conversations like the locker room.

didn't seem like it was a three and 14. team. So this team is looking for a. complete paradigm shift. this team is. looking to make make a splash, man. And. there's no better no better place to do. it. Uh with with no greater calling to. do it than right here in New York City, uh being a New York football giant. Hell. yeah. He said that in New Jersey, obviously, but the point remains. Is. there more giggles uh around the corner. with a paradigm shift? Bruce Brown, noted New York Giants fan. More giggles, more laughter, more fun. I'm going to my.

third parade, boys. I hope to see you. all there. I can't wait. This fired me. up. I absolutely love Jamus. I'm excited. for Russ whenever he he does his presser. as well just to see that dynamic. Um and. then you know there was Shador talking. about it too that he might be getting uh. I think Dion said he might be getting. baptized pregame in the pregame. speeches. So uh things are looking up. I'm fired up as you should be. Hell. yeah. Yankees still doing good. Yeah, still undefeated. Uh had an off day. yesterday. They got the Arizona. Diamondbacks coming to town tonight. So.

you guys are already taking off days, huh? Wow. Oh, I didn't know that. What. the heck? If it was I thought baseball. was every day for 160. I mean, it was up. to the Yankees. They'd play every day. They'd play 200 games. They had to, you. know, but I don't know. A lot of people. in those seats. That's a long flight for. the Diamondbacks. Lot of people. Lot of. people in How many double headers they. have now? Like how many double headers. will a team have? None. Unless there's. like rain outs really. They don't. schedule them anymore. Ning high school. baseball. Come on. Why not knock two out. one day? Let's do it. Yeah. Let's play.

two five inning games. It would be. [ __ ] nuts. If there's a rain out, maybe it says says in [ __ ]. 12-year-old AAU baseball. We're not. playing double headers. This is a New. York Yankees. What do you want? A. running clock, too. Football. Yeah. Oh, no. Not in football. But no, I I tell. you what, the old baseball double. header. That's a great day for some. people. Some people go to both games. That's right. A session. Maybe you could. just give two games for one ticket. That'd be good for Give them a day day. off the next day. Obviously, let the. boys rest. Just had two. What is the uh.

whenever there's a a cancellation or a. delay, is it a shorter game or they play. two nine inning games? No. Yeah, two. nine inning games. Co they did the. seven. Yeah, correct. Yeah. To to jam in. 60ome games. Yeah. Mhm. Do we like it. better or no? No. No. When is uh John. Carlos Stanton back? Uh as soon as he. can move his elbows, so we don't know. He's actually started picking up a bat. and swinging it again, which is huge. Two of them. Maybe he does two torp. Are. you allowed to have two torpedo bats in. the batter's box? Yeah, you just got to.

stand on the. plate. Having two of those would be. sweet. I guess you'd want to swing those. sideways so you get double the You. wouldn't want to swing those. Exactly. Would you be early late? I don't know if. Yeah. Would you want to be early and. late or would you want to be side by. side? Would you want to be early or. late? Early late. Would you want to be. bang p like one of us? I think you I. think you'd want to double stack them. You want this over here cuz guess what? You're making contact a whole hell of a. lot right there. So you're turning that. thing sideways like that. You could also.

start like X here and then boom boom. like that as well. I'm standing behind home. No. You're. standing like this. You're starting them. down here like this and you're coming. out. But what are you where are you standing? Might have to come in. You're standing. You're standing on the plate, brother. Yeah, you're standing behind just your. meat right there in the strike. You're. facing the picture. So I'm standing. Okay. You're calling a dude here and. you're crossing him up. Yep. And. then poo. The only problem two balls.

coming. If you don't make contact, you're either wearing a 100 mph fast. ball on the chin or to the tip of the. penis. Take your base. Listen. Take your. base. Yeah. My OPS should be on the. chest. The um baseball needs to embrace. the bait and let two torpedo bats be in. one guy's hand. One night. Let him try. it. One night of bananas. Yeah, exactly. You need the bananas. There we go. Let. the bananas do it. Let those jerkoffs do. it. That's That's great.

[ __ ] stadium. Son of a [ __ ] Have. some respect. I know. I I have no ill. will towards the Sounds. like just kind of in the moment, you. know, said, you know, cuz Yeah, they're. branded baseball's got to jerk off, jack. off baseball. It's a show. I I get it. I. get it. How about when old guys How. about when they catch it through the. legs? Some of the [ __ ] they do is wildly. impressive. Yes. Like it I mean it. really is cuz there's no way they can um. like set anything up, right? Not really. I mean you're it's like it's a live.

baseball game. It's not It's pretty. tough to you know those MLB pitchers are. so locked in. They need so many breaths. They need their entire thing. I'm. watching these Bananis pitchers and. they're doing full Hey, banging banging. and then they're coming in there right. into it and 12 to six. Yeah. Break it. off. banana guy breaks his [ __ ] Guy. comes in with two uh what are they? Stilts on two stilts and this backflip. pitcher and then he's throwing. underhanded the other way straight. I.

mean I don't know how these guys aren't. getting looks first of all. Well, it's. cuz these guys are throwing about 84. miles an hour. What? Look at this. Look what he's about. to do. Look at Look at the ump even. Uh-huh. The ref's even bopping a little. bit. Uhhuh. Hey, is that ref 7 foot. three? It's part of the show. And hold. it straight. That was a foul. That was a. foul. It be I did it again right there. Don't love the ref. That was a lot. Don't love the ump. No, he's a part of. it. That's dancing. He's got good good. moxy. The dump. Yeah, cuz I uh I did a.

Monday night Raw at Savannah, Georgia. Mhm. And uh some of the bananas were. there. Yeah, he caught it. And look, he. just threw it under his [ __ ] leg. Double. Yes. He did this one right here. Yeah, you're. right. How slow is that behind the back? Bang. Through the legs. Double play. Savani Bananis. Wow. They're doing it. I. agree. Is that Is that a ninja at first. base? He's wearing a a full face mask. thing. I mean, he can't be. He got kids. in the crowd. Yeah. Sick out of the.

baseball. Cross chopping. They. definitely can't be doing what. Yeah. What a play. Uh, give me that. He says. they were losing too. Yeah, they were. down. The. bananas are a good team. They're a good. team. Yeah, but because they did the uh. behind the back snag in between the legs. throw, they got five runs in one, which. they should, which maybe MLB should. think about, maybe instituting some of. the banani rules. We got the torpedo. bats. Let's keep the Mickey Mouse [ __ ]. for the Savannah bananas. They could. keep dancing and waving their poopers. everywhere and, you know, grabbing their.

penises after the [ __ ]. over. The dancing ump though, I would. say he was right behind me for RAW. Yeah, he's got it. I bet he Yeah, he is. Yeah, I don't mind this guy. He's got. good swag. Good panach. Oh, yeah. Bringing the boom. I'm out. I'm out on. the dump. What? I like the players. He's. not a dumpire. He is the dancing umpire, which is the dumpire. Oh, look. Let's. kind of get this game reigned in a. little bit. Dancing said, "You got it.".

The dump is a big time. Look at me. If. Oh, he's running this show. Yeah, if. I've ever seen. professional salsa dancer making it. about himself. No, he's passing time. Another pitcher's warming up. We're here. to. watch and the party nut jobs. We're not. here to watch the dump. Well, he's got. to have eyes all over the park. If. somebody catches it, it's an ad. That's. a good point. In the stands. Mhm. Yeah. Can end the game. Everybody thinks this. umpire is making a joke of the game and. said he's hard he's got a harder job. than these [ __ ] do in the MLB. I.

disagree. What? You He's got to pay. attention to the dance moves. He is the. show. You know, he's thinks he is. They. don't have the box to tell him if it's a. strike or a ball. He's got to call that. thing free. They don't have strikes and. balls. I thought it was like misses and. almost hit it. Something something like. that. Oh, on that note, I think we're done. here. We need to go to a game. Anyone. Anyone in there been to a game? Uh Mitt. went to the whole three game set, ran.

the bases afterwards. spent the whole. weekend with the game winner, but it hit. him right in the mouth. You lost two. teeth. Yeah, that's why he talks the way. he does. Zeke, hey. Um, how was it, Z? It was a good show, wasn't it? Yeah, it. was absolutely amazing. It's a good. show. It was so like no seat empty. It's. insane. I got respect. I got respect for. the show they put on. Kids will love it. Trust me. Yeah. Kids would absolutely. love it. Well, it's like hormone globe. drivers, but for baseball. Yeah, exactly. It's cool. Sold out of sold out. of football stadium. No. Yeah. What they. what they do is wildly impressive. It. is. It's just like I love baseball. I'd. rather go watch a regular baseball game.

than all that. Is it all ex uh college. baseball guys? Mostly I think cuz you. still like some of these guys like you. you can't just be like a [ __ ] scrub. I mean they still got guys throwing, you. know, it's still like a an actual decent. baseball product. Yeah. Like so yeah, I. don't think they have any, you know, beer league guys out there. It's mostly. guys who probably played like high D1. baseball. Maybe they should test out. some stuff for the MLB. I don't think. so. We got the torpedo bats right now. I. think that's that's a good start. I see. one pitcher pitching from both sides.

Yes. On the mount that Seattle. Yep. That was crazy. Did he make the team? Uh. I don't know if he made the team. I'm. not sure. He had the glove that was able. to get on both hands. Dual web. Yeah. Like 95 both sides. Yeah. Love that. Yeah. He was What? He would have to deem. it before each batter. No. In between. pitches. You can switch. He could, but. it it'd be mostly like, you know, if a. lefty was up, he'd probably pitch. left-handed. If a righty was up, he'd. throw right-handed. But in middle of. count, can he switch? He could. Yeah, he. could throw left, right, left, right,

left, right every pitch if he wanted to. That'd be So, yeah, the Savannah Bananis. need him. They do. He needs to reset the. market. Well, show was supposed to do. that, but they won't let him pitch. because he's too good of a hitter. Yeah, you could pitch back toback days. You're. going right righty lefty, couldn't you? Yeah, exactly. If you say this day I'm. pitching righty on Monday, on Tuesday. I'm pitching lefty. I'm going complete. game both days. Double Tommy. Yeah, your. back wouldn't hurt at all. Now you John. Carlo on the mound double top. Is this the guy? Yeah, this is the guy.

Is this old or he did make No, this this. was uh this is the same club I saw. So. he threw that one lefty, right? And this. is preseason top uh bottom of the fifth. here. Yeah. 52. They're down. Switched the glove over to the other. hand. Now he's a righty. Mhm. Let's see. Is this live action or is. this preseason? No, I think this was uh. spring training, right? Yeah, this is. spring training. This is a clip I saw. Yeah. So, now he's right. Where's Why is. spring training kind of cold? Where are.

they? Arizona. So, he's supposed to be. pretty sick. Yeah. Yeah. That'd be fun. to be able to do. That'd be cool. I grew. up with a kid on my travel baseball team. that did that. Matt W. Literally out of. nowhere. Like out of out of nowhere. You okay? Nah. Oh, no. I'm just waiting to see. I. don't know if we're taking a break. I. don't know for but I am going to poop my. pants. like this is my time if I make this. Okay. I got I got just make Oh no. Oh.

no. Make it make it. Shoot one. Tell him to shoot. Hey, actually go punch one. Punch one. Oh. yeah. See how. hard punch one. What did he eat? What. did he eat this morning, Carter? Uh I. don't noodles noodles and company and he. had a jumbo uh coffee. So jumbo coffee. But this is normally from last night. This is normally Yeah. The one in the. middle of the show is normally last. night. It ate my bladder. You see, Kenan responded. Keenan said,

"I don't know what that was all about.". He said, "Give me to God's country as if. we're not under the umbrella of God up. here." It's like maybe he was just. saying, "Give me home." Oh, like from. Keen to Kell. Yeah. He's He's been on. SNL for what, 30 years? A long time. He's been the longest. For sure. He. didn't want to go to the afterparty. Well, I think Morgan just saw the exit. and was Well, they said he's been on the. show before and the last time he did not. do that. I was like, "Okay, well, I. didn't remember that or no." He came. home to his boy. Hey, he's got a little. boy. He's got a boy. Got a boy. Um,

okay. Got a little bit of heat, not. heat. Got a little bit of a situation. brewing. Oh, Jerry Jones at the meeting. said, uh, you know, he's not worried. about the contract with Micah Parsons. Then there was a report that there was. uh a contract offered to Micah Parsons. Clarence Hill Jr. Jerry Jones with. blatant disrespect to Michael Parson's. agent David Mulligetta. The agent is not. a concern here. I don't know his name. Will get is one of the best and most. respected agents in the NFL. Of course.

it is. Let's scroll up here now to the. response here from Micah. Fact. David is. the best and I will not be doing any. deal without Mulageta involved. Like. anyone with good sense, I hired experts. for a reason. There's no one I trust. more when it comes to negotiating. contracts than David. There will be no. back doors in this contract negotiation. because allegedly Jerry had been talking. to Micah and then his agent wasn't. involved. His agent being Mulligetta. Jerry's saying he he doesn't know the. name of his agent is interesting because.

Muetta uh he's the what uh every. position group basically he's the one. that has the biggest contract at that. position group. He was the one behind. the Deshawn Watson deal. He was one be. behind both DB deals that got signed. this particular offseason. I believe. wide receiver you you go through it. Mullet is the guy. He is an absolute. dog. Uh when it comes to this, there's a. little heat. Jerry Jones saying I don't. know this guy's name. That's crazy. Yeah, that is and and him even being. offered the contract behind the agents.

back if that's true. I don't you know. that's hope this isn't an April one uh. type situation. Doesn't look like it. But that that's wild. Then to say you. don't know the agent, I believe he's. been repping Micah for at least a couple. years now cuz I can remember offseason. where him and Stri were doing some. offseason [ __ ] Exactly. Like like how. when you know does he have CD or Trevon. Diggs or I'm looking right now like any. of those I would assume that he has one. Yeah. Even if he didn't know like Jerry. Jones like Yeah. You know Jerry's. letting him know, hey, I'm in charge. here, bud. Yeah. I've been in the league.

a lot longer than this David fell. We. know Jerry. So that's good. Anytime that. type of [ __ ] pops off, that's Cowboys. You know, that's classic. That's good. This is just like T. Higgins put a cap. thing out there. You know, remember Duke. at the combine said that ideally we'll. get this and Jamar Chase will be the. highest paid none and we want this. And. then somebody put a tweet out saying. cap. Miles Garrett wanted it out. He. didn't want in there. And then money. comes around and it all gets sorted and. Michael Parsons has always wanted to be. a cowboy even whenever he was a kid.

That's what that's what'll happen here. He'll he'll get 40.2 a year and reset. the market again. And I think Jerry said. something along the lines of, "Uh, I. don't care if I have to pay more. I just. want to get it right." Something along. those lines. Jerry is one that normally. has to pay more because he delays in. delays in delays. And then inevitably a. deal gets done. Did it with Dak, did it. with CD. I assume there's others just. within the last year that has taken. place. And Micah will probably be the. next one on the board to get that done. With Miles Garrett signing the deal that. he signed, obviously that affects a lot.

of people. Trey Hendrickson, TJ Watt, Micah Parsons. A lot of people that get. to the quarterback for a living are now. wondering, well, what's uh what's my. number going to be? Have we heard. anything about TJ Watt and the. Pittsburgh Steelers? No. They uh they. talked about it. They were asked about. it at the league meetings and they said. they want um TJ to be a one helmet. player uh and then it'll get done. Uh. and it feels like there's there's not. really a super rush right now, but it. it'll get done. Yeah. And Trey. Hendrickson, what's going on there? AJ, do you know anything in Ohio what's.

going on? I do not know. I definitely. think TJ they have to get that done. But. with Trey, I don't feel as confident. that the Bengals are going to bring him. back or they're going to find a way. Yeah. I don't It. got quiet. It's weird. We're in a quiet. period. The last one that was after I. mean Trey deserves a bunch of money. So. like they they they want like they for. sure. Yeah. Rightfully so. He he wants a. lot. 30 years old. Last big one, you. know, last opportunity for a big. contract probably. I mean, who knows? maybe 4 years from now when he's 34.

He's still going as strong as he is. right now. But he's coming fresh off the. sack king title, 30 years old. And uh I. think what he told us was been delaying. this now for multiple years to kind of. hopefully get a deal done. Hopefully. they're able to do that. You know, Cincinnati's paying folks. They're. figuring it out. Teddy Car, that's good, right? We like that. Yeah. I love Ted. It's cool. He's the man. He's hilarious. Jesus, he that clip of him at the at the. parade deal when they trying to get him. to cry about football or something.

Now you're in a parade. and you know, you're giving back a lot. to the city. Do you get a little bit. emotional whenever you think about it. all? Yeah, I get emotional and pumped. up. It's red.
