Hello beautiful people [music] and. welcome to our holly jolly humble abode. the thunderdome on this merry [music]. Christmas Tuesday December 23rd 2025. This program begins now. [music]. football. It. >> is magical. And last night wasn't the. greatest time watching the Indianapolis. Colts defense not be able to stop the. San Francisco 49ers offense as the San. Francisco 49ers continue their road to.

maybe the number one overall seed in the. NFC in a massive win in the lighthouse, beating the Indianapolis Colts. And I'll. tell you what, boots on the ground. We're in the building. It was. electrifying. During the halftime show, Red Panda buried six bulls on top of her. head as they tried to. >> uh light her up in the middle of her. back swing. Okay, so I will say the. extreme pogo team from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania crushed it. The jugglers. from Peru, Indiana absolutely crushed it. and Red Panda crushed obviously that's.

what she does. The drum line did their. thing. It was a spectacular evening in. Lucas Oil Stadium. Anytime you have Red. Panda at the 50 was 75,000 sounded like. maybe 25 30,000 San Francisco 49ers fans. as well. Everybody was at attention. That's only five bowls. She would go on. to do six bowls. Obviously, it was a. special time. >> Lights. >> I don't like that. >> Jeez, that's the halftime league. >> Because there is a halftime ending time. I think the NFL indicates when it is.

So, you actually heard the MC uh in the. stadium, the PA announcer come out and. say, "That's the halftime carnival." And. it was like, "No, it's not. We're all. watching Red Panda right now about to. hit the uh grand finale here." And Red. Panda didn't have her normal music. It. was a different remix, different songs. She wasn't on her normal platform. She. was out in the middle of a uh turfield. on top of a stage that was kind of just. put on top of it. She had the lights go. on in the middle of it. No music at all. cuz I think she does do rhythm. Like, I.

think that is kind of her thing. No. music at all. Warm-up's back on the. field basically. And she delivers six. for six up there. Yeah, I think Red. Panda is throwing a fast ball and so is. Brock Birdie. Watching him deal all. night was insane because you don't. really realize the size of Brock Birdie. until you see him. He is not tall. Okay, he is not tall at all. I would say what. Brock Perie is able to do is so much. more impressive because of how he is. built. He is built like an ox. Now, he. is he's thick. He's obviously an.

incredible athlete, but there are plenty. of times where he can't see a damn thing. and he is just throwing it to a spot at. a time and every time seemed to be right. on the money. I I mean, the Jawan. Jennings touchdown was right in front of. our face. It appeared as if he was. throwing that late and out of bounds. Instead, perfect fingertip grab by Jawan. Jennings, who's also a monster, I would. like to say. Now, he was playing against. a guy wearing number 43 at corner. Okay. Okay. So, no offense to him, but he had. a long night. Our corner certainly had a. long night, but I think a lot of corners.

are going to have problems with the way. Brock Pery is spinning it. Don't like. the It's Christmas week. Okay, we don't. need to be doing that. Yeah, you're right. >> It was very smooth, too. Like it was. very. >> Here you go. >> Perfectly executed. [laughter] Yeah, it. was a good sale. Jawan Jennings, you. know, he he's bought about it for sure. But what I took away from last night, Brock Party is. >> remarkable. Like obviously they paid him. $200 million for a reason and what that. offense looks like with him at. quarterback as opposed to anybody else. is crazy that I was even potentially.

leading into a conversation that maybe. M. Jones would be a quarterback for this. team going forward. He's outrageous. George KD seemingly unguardable. He had. an ankle late. Uh I texted with him. afterwards said that's cool that you. were just unguardable today. He saw you. He figured I was like don't you start. Okay. You knew I was going to have to be. there. Obviously it's an Indianapolis. Colts thing. I think we all assume. George KD's going to be okay. >> Yeah. I think he walked off the field. He's an incredibly tough guy. Watching. him block and also be wide open all the. time. Crazy. Christian McCaffrey, does.

he not get tired? I don't know how this. guy doesn't get tired. He's running on. his coconut husk all over the place. They're giving him the ball all the time. and he's seemingly never ever tired and. he never celebrates. He's just like. literally a workhorse like that. He is a. robot, a machine. And then you talk. about 44, this super genius use check. He's a fullback. He's all before every. play he's all over the place and it's. right off his ass. Whatever's happening. It's like Trent Williams. Yeah, right. This dude's 30 yards down the field as a. 37y old. It's like watching that. offense. You I think we forget in this.

particular space. They can still be the. number one seed in the NFC. They lose. Fred Embos on the defensive side. A lot. of us just say like can't win. Salah's a. genius. They got a defense that. smothered Jonathan Taylor. I mean, we. weren't able to run at all. 16 carries I. think for 46 yards with a long of seven. or something like that. That is not how. we're going to win any games, but we. could have because Phil Rivers was out. there spinning it. Phil Rivers was. breaking down the defense doing his. check. So, I think if you were to ask me. going into a Monday night football game. >> with the situation they were in now, no.

S Gardner, no Mooney, like what's going. to be the downfall you think tonight, the easy answer would be the 44y old guy. who not I don't know if I like what the. Indiana Knights uniform was doing for. Phil Ro. here. >> Okay. I I don't think it He does look. good. He does look fat. We saw him on. sideline. I think. >> I thought he was a captain. >> Fat P. >> Well, everybody was a captain. I don't. know. I don't think I love the C on. everybody's chest, but I understand it. is a cool jersey. Everybody should have. it. And it's the state of Indiana on the. inside of the sea there, so it's a part. of the design and everything like that.

But like Phil Rivers last night, not. only was he dealing and spinning and. breaking out defense, they show him on. the jumbotron, he got massive thank you, I think, for what he did in 2020 from. all of us. Literally, this is the first. time he ever got a real chance to. experience a Lucas Oil stadium with. fans, any Colts fans at all. They put. him up on the jumbotron and every single. time it was like, "Hey, thank you, Phil, for doing what you're doing." And also, what you did do whenever we were all. trapped inside watching from afar, he. also got into it. Let's go. Let's go, baby. Doing it all. So, the fact that we.

lost because we couldn't get a stop. I. mean, they had no punts. No punts at. all. We did have a turnover, which I. guess is possible in the Brock Party. offense, especially throwing over the. middle with his size. That is the tiny. disadvantage. But I think everything. else that Brock Pury does is elite. I I. mean it was just an elite operation. watching him live in person. Duts from. watching it. Defense not able to get a. stop. Phil Rivers and the offense I. think manage special teams turnover made. it a shootout I think early for all of. us. Can't have it. Your takeaway from.

last night? >> Yeah, defense. Our defense was. definitely the most disappointing. You. talked about the injuries that we have. at corner, but you know, everybody's. dealing with injuries at at week 16, but. yeah, the the San Francisco 49er. offense, it was just a welloiled. machine. Brock Pury, it seemed like he. was hitting, you know, where whatever he. wanted. Looked like routes on air. So, you talk about Shanahan's offense, just. how comfortable Brock Party is in it. He. can make all the throws and then when. the throw is in there or the pocket. breaks down, he can break the pocket and. make a throw as well. But he had. matchups. We have he had matchups all.

over the place. Obviously, you know, not. many linebackers in the NFL can guard. Christian McCaffrey 101. Took advantage. of that. Uh George KD, you mentioned if. he didn't get hurt, he probably was on. his way to a career day just like Brock. Py was with five touchdown passes. So, it was tough. They came out, look, Phil. came out, gave us a chance. First play. of the game. He took a shot down the. field and we're like, "Okay, I like. that." He sended a message early that. don't sit on everything, don't keep. everything tight and uh had Alec Pierce. involved early. He had two touchdowns. offense showed up and tried once once. again the run game was smothered. I hats.

off to Philip Rivers. This is one of. those things that people or us we sit on. the couch maybe a year maybe two maybe. three years after a maybe I can get back. out there and do something to see him. doing this five years removed from the. game at 44 years old is unbelievable. His family being in the suite that was. big obviously it was unfortunate um you. know we got our ass kicked like we did. man this was a tough tough watch in that. second half. >> Phil Rivers also last person out of the. locker room. He was in there with. Jonathan Taylor. Obviously Jonathan. Taylor has rough night. He was talked. about as an MVP earlier in the year. Not.

really as much now. Tyler Warren also. not as uh big of a detriment uh as he. was earlier in the season. Not for a. lack of trying though. They were trying. to feed him. Tyler Warren took like four. massive shots. I think Tyler Warren's. going to fall into the category of like. Grunk because he's so big. People you're. you're a lot of space for huge shots. Like Gronk used to take huge collisions. and you know he was so athletic and br. nobody really judged it but he would be. getting smacked and just continue to go.

I think Tyler Warren's going to fall. into that with his career. I'm excited. to see how that all goes because he. obviously has a lot of potential and. potential is a great word for this. Niners team. I'm watching them and I'm. like. not only are they a really good football. team like. >> oh yeah. >> they can do it. >> What about the coach? >> Yeah. It's like they can do what they. did. Now granted, Phil Rivers had. success. Yeah. >> So people are gonna say guy that was on. a couch for five years had success. against your defense. You don't have. Bosa. You don't have Warner. They're. going to hold that against them. But. remember Phil River Seattle also. potentially the number one seed in the. AFC last week comes down to a 56y field.

goal. It's like the guy can still spin. it and he still understands what your. defense is doing. Yeah. Like there's. things that he's going to be able to. accomplish. So I think people that are. just kind of saying Phil Rivers is ash. cheek. So if he's having success against. you, that doesn't mean you're good. It's. like I think they were able to tighten. down. Remember the thing about them was. they give up the run. They give up the. run. They give up the run. They were. dominating us up front in the run game. I I mean Jonathan Taylor. >> maybe earlier in the season would have. been able to escape some of those things. with maybe like a bounce out or. something like that. Bounce off. But.

there was little to nothing. I mean. there was little to nothing for Jonathan. Taylor. And then on the flip side, Christian McAffrey, >> this dude sees a hole. >> and it is cannon actually. and he. doesn't he gets up and just like kicks. his shoes, kicks his cleats to make sure. they're tight still and then he just. walks right back to the huddle. It's not. like, oh, I just had my longest run of. the year, 24 yards, which he did last. night. He had the longest run of his uh. season at 24 yards or something like. that late in the game. Here it is right. here off of the left. And he just. doesn't even care. Just gets back in.

there. Hey, we're going to give you the. ball a 100 more times. Doesn't care. Just gets back in there. And he's. healthy. He was unbelievable to watch. live. >> Yeah. And it's crazy what he does in the. past game. I think he's 163 yards away. from 1,000 yards receiving. He went over. 1,000 yards rushing. He'd be the first. player ever with multiple seasons of. both 1,000 yards receiving and rushing. But they do they have one of, if not the. most complete offense in the NFL. I. think the the big worry to what you guys. were just talking about is with how. complete some of the other teams are in.

the NFC on offense and defense. That's. where you struggle. But I mean, with the. two games they have left, both at home. Everyone's already said it this week, they can they can just play home games. all the way through the Super Bowl, and. that is a huge possibility. But the. other thing that impressed me with Brock. Perie that was insane is it's almost as. if he knows what his matchups are as. well. Like whether it's zone or not, this one right here, like he knows, hey, KD's down there and he trusts his guy. over whatever linebacker or safety or. corner. Yeah. Are there and and that's.

almost even more impressive. Like sure. he knows his spots to throw to, but he. also knows like, "Yep, whoever's on my. guy here, I feel like my guy's going to. win.". >> You know, you lose one sense, you gain. another. The Pep said it. John. Leguisamo. He doesn't have the size, okay, that some people have. So, he has. to have everything else at a very high. level. Understanding a defense pre- snap. is certainly one of those things. Digesting it and also knowing what the. best option is for the offense that. you're about to run certainly a part of. it. His command of the huddle, too. I I.

mean it's like. >> Trent Williams. that was his big takeway, >> bro. You watch him. He's like cuz. obviously Trent Williams g these dudes. are all gigantic. KD [ __ ] gigantic. CMC is a like an actual superhero. Bill. Jennings, you mentioned. >> all of them that are big. So Py in that. huddle like where we're sitting at and. in the anytime he's thrown in a pocket, he cannot he cannot see who's getting. the ball. He is just assuming old buddy. because of the pre-nap read, because of. what is supposed to happen where we've. worked on it so much. It's like watching.

him break it down and I know the. immediate comparison would be Drew. Brees, but it's like Drew Brees had to. be cerebral. Drew Brees had to have. perfect timing. Drew Brees had to have. all these things. Good finding of. windows. That's a talent that not. everybody has of where he can throw. through. Even taller quarterbacks. struggle with that. If you can't get it. past a Dline, it's like Brock Birdie has. to have super elite, all that [ __ ]. because he doesn't have the 6'4 frame. that some quarterbacks have to have, especially behind that offensive line. that they have. But everything else.

watching it's like this guy's special. Like this is a special talent. The moxy, bro. The bounce that he has in between. plays, it's like he. >> he looked like a $50 million. quarterback. You know what I mean? When. you when you think about a quarterback. that's making $50 million, that's what. it looks like. And obviously, you know, him being small, you talk about these. different quarterbacks having their. different superpowers. His postnap and. pre- snap operation has been his. superpower. He's been small his whole. life. you know, all these guys that get. to this level, whether it's Kyler. Murray, uh, Bryce Young, you know, Drew. Brees, they've been small their whole.

whole life, just like in other sports. So, they've been able to maneuver and. make it work, and he doesn't. And the. years prior when he was having these. great years, everybody always tried to. give someone else the credit. Hey, they. got I got this guy, they got that guy. And now with them, you know, guys in and. out of the lineup and Brock Curtis still. doing his thing, it's very, very. impressive. >> Yeah. And we've heard like, you know, since he's come in the league how good. of a teammate he is, how much these guys. respect him. But to your point, like. over the last couple weeks since he came. back from the injury and he's felt like. he's fully healthy. I think we are.

starting to see a little bit more out of. him. Like after he got paid, he's not. just, you know, he might still be that. kind of mildmannered guy who went to. Iowa State and doesn't like to be in the. limelight, but like you can tell he. understands like this is my team. This. is my team now. Like and he's starting. to kind of do some of the things that he. maybe wasn't doing a couple years ago. when it was kind of like a hey, he's. just happy to be here. He's got all. these weapons now. I think he. understands like, hey, when I'm playing. at my best, like I am just as crucial to. this offense as a guy like CMC or KD or.

any of these other guys. >> Yeah. I mean, he it was unbelievable. Watching it live was outrageous. Now, the immediate shot is the Colts defense. is ass. And. >> which. >> I mean I once again I think Brock Prey. and the Niners are going to do that to. defenses. I I think they are going to. make teams look like ass. I think. there's obviously going to be defenses. that are going to play well against. Brock Py and there's going to be games. where they're not clicking. But if they. were clicking on all cylinders, which it. felt like they were, >> CMC was going, George was going, Uchek. was going, Brock was going, the.

offensive line was going. Now granted, is that because the defense or is that. because they were all balling on a. Monday night in Yeah. Whatever the case, but the Colts could not get a stop to. save their lives. I I mean, that was And. it's an interesting thing because. against Sam Darnold just a week ago. against Seattle Seahawks, they weren't. bad. You know, they were they kept it. very, very low. walk-off field goal and. that was without the force Buckner. We. get the Force Buckner back this week. We. still don't have corners. Brock Party. and Shannon, I think, knew that. I think. they certainly knew that they could. potentially get it whenever they want.

If we can get CMC rolling as well, that'll be an insane process. But now. the convers. >> that man, that man uh taught me how to. punt right there. Thomas Morstead, the. guy on the right there, uh he is out of. SMU, big brain guy. I met him at a a. kicking camp after my junior year and uh. it was my first ever real kicking camp I. ever went to. Connor Lee, kicker for. pit. Friend of mine uh growing up from. soccer and beling and things like that. Sean Lee's older brother, he was like,

"Hey, why don't you come out to this. kicking camp I go to?" And I was like, "I don't do kicking camps. I'm not. hanging out with a bunch of these. people." Okay, that is not. >> makes sense. >> Yeah, that is not what I'm trying to get. into. That's not how I'm trying to spend. my life. I don't know a lot of them, but. I know that's not really my thing. I. don't think he's like, "Come on, come. on. cool people. He was right. Thank God. I went out there. Bunch of cool people. Jamie Cole uh was the guy running the. kicking camp. And on the first night, I. as a young lad with a very strong leg, uh always just thought that I could do.

stuff that nobody else could do with the. ball. I mean, in high school, I was. kicking it on fields where NFL kickers. were on and I was 10 yards behind them. booting it over their head. So, it's. like I've always had very, very strong. leg here. Worked on it. literally spent. my entire childhood, most of my. childhood when I wasn't out doing stuff. because I didn't play video games. because I had ADD, didn't watch movies. or TV because Tim had control of the TV. usually and it wasn't great. And then I. got into wrestling and things like that. So, I literally just kick a soccer ball. off the side of my house. Saw David. Beckham hit like 100 miles an hour in. the World Cup. I'm like, that's sick.

That'd be cool to be able to do. So, I've always had a really strong leg. Really, really strong leg. Now, granted, because of all that, blew out my knees. probably, you know, you know, Rob Peter. in the back end to pay Paul up there in. the beginning, but I always had a strong. leg. So, I get to this kicking camp and. I see on the other field some mule. looking human doing stuff with a ball. that I couldn't do punting wise. And I'm. like, >> who the [ __ ] is that thing over there? So, I go over and meet him. Super nerd. at SMU, okay? But like a tough alpha. nerdy dude who has legs that come up to. here. Mom's I believe from England,

okay? So, I don't think she wanted him. to play football. He wanted to play. football. So I think like punting. position became the thing because he. started kicking and like his entire life. he has been just a punter like a great. punter while also pursuing other things. So he took me under his basic wing and. uh we've hammered hundreds of beers. together. I I mean you're talking. hundreds of beers together and uh he's. he's one of the main reasons why I ever. had a punting career. Him alongside. Jamie Cole and because this is.

potentially his last year which is a. convo. Last night, Jamie Cole and a big. group from the Cole's kicking camp are. there to watch him. They hung out. I got. a chance to see him, take a picture with. him. It was just a cool like full circle. type moment. And he punted zero times. >> Yeah. [laughter] Wish I saw him out. there last night. >> Yeah. Well, a lot of us wish we would. have saw him one time. >> Holding extra points. Had a good warm-up. though. A lot warm up. >> I I will say for how old he is. Okay. He. hit a 52 and a 51 last night. I think in. warm-ups I was like uh timing and so was. Brandt Boyer, our former special teams.

guys. They were special teams guy. So, he's hitting the ball like just as good. as he was 15, 16 years ago. So, it was. cool to watch, cool to meet up with him, but he doesn't give a damn. And, uh, yeah, people are saying because he. hasn't punted since November, uh, he's. doing this on a side. It's like standard. operating procedure is doing drops on a. silo. His legs though, come all the way. up to here. He is built like a punter. And that face mask is obviously a unl. [laughter]. dude. He works out so hard. like he's. like very obsessed with working out,

>> still doing it. >> I never We used to kick in the off. seasonasons together and uh he'd be. flipping tires to warm up, >> okay? He'd be taking I'd be rolling in. there, maybe a little hung over, >> a tad high, maybe, you know, depending. upon what time it was and what we did. the night before. I'm walking out on the. field. >> All right, let's see how this ball's. turning over today. you know, he's. flipping tires, taking pre-workout over. on the side, high knees, running. sprints, jumping, doing the entire. thing, and it's like, oh [ __ ] he's.

trying to bury me right now. Like, like. this guy, this guy is trying to bury me. right now. So, like, even when he was. doing those things, he made me better. So, it's like I love Thomas Morstead. It. was great to see him. He might not punt. ever again with the way that offense is. looking to be 100% clear. And uh yeah, last night was a special night in the. lighthouse, but. we're one and five now Monday night. football games at Oak. >> Exactly, man. >> Did anybody watch the other cast with. Dan O the nerd cast? >> Yeah, I did. I couldn't understand a. word they were saying because they all. just started yelling at each other. But.

Keequley Geekley is incredible. He He. does know what the hell he's talking. about. Every single play it feels like. And you mentioned how AJ watches the. game as a linebacker and you asked him. about it yesterday. Like Keequley, sure. he watches it as a linebacker, but I do. believe he has the the ability rather to. actually be uh playing middle linebacker. while calling the football game. Yeah, this is the one thing uh from yesterday. he called the pick six, which you know. is what it is. >> He said quick pass to the tight end I.

believe right here. >> Yeah, because there was Orlando call. Rivers car called Orlando Orlando. Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando. Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando. Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando. Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando Orlando. and Ke was like yeah he's about to throw. a hook this should be a pick six I mean. it's incredible uh what Kiki was doing. but this is it was a cool little. alternate cast for sure. Yeah. And Shaun. Lee's company, Alternative, Connor Lee's. brother. Shawn Lee's brother, uh, Adrenaline is running the stats and the. AI and the model behind it. And then you. got Luke Keequley, also linebacker. So, and you got Dano in there. Feels like. they're trying to weaponize and utilize.

every technology that we have to uh. inform people on what ball is. Here's. Luke Keequley and the Oculus, by the. way. And yes, exactly what you think is. happening here with Luke Keequley is. happening. They're gonna do this. It's. gonna do this. Soon as I see this, I. know this. It's like I'm happy Luke's. getting an opportunity to display this. because this type of football brain type. stuff is not normal and it's awesome to. watch. Insert clip NFL Films just put. out from Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rogers and. the Pittsburgh Steelers get a huge win. over the Detroit Lions. Aaron Rogers and. Pittsburgh Steelers can have a home.

playoff game and potentially Hey, here we go. Steelers, here we go. Pittsburgh could go to the Super Bowl. Here we go. That's what they're. thinking, as they should. Huge win over. the Detroit Lions. And now we're getting. footage of Aaron Rogers basically being. >> the quarterback of, you know, not only. the past, but certainly of today for the.

Pittsburgh Steelers in complete control. of the situation. And everybody. remembers Gainwell's touchdown from the. game where he makes that insane catch. down the right sideline. Ball hits his. forearm, bounces up, he catches it, nobody touches him. So, that was. obviously a great play call by Arty. Smith, right? Well, watch how this thing. actually comes together. >> This side. This side. I'm run flat to. the right. >> MOTION ALL THE WAY OUT. WE'RE GOING TO. GO ALL THE WAY OUT. [cheering].

>> Rogers off his back foot. Throws it down. the way. And look at Gainwell. >> And he scores. thinks he has a. touchdown. >> He catch it. He catch it. He caught it. >> Excellent. He caught it. >> I mean, I I don't think he was touched. I think this might be a touchdown, Jim. >> I mean, Gainwell thinks he has it. >> This could be a touchdown. >> Oh my goodness. >> I told you this running back is like a. wide receiver. So whenever you think. about this type of access, obviously.

shot to NFL films and on Inside the NFL, now on X as a clip show, >> good move. And this type of access is. unbelievable. What did Aaron see? Why. did that happen? Is it normal guys are. just playing backyard football in the. middle of the biggest moments, in middle. of the biggest games at the quarterback. position? >> Yeah, you talk about biggest moments. This is right, this was the two-minute. right before the half. So 11 seconds I. believe is left in the clock. But right. now, as soon as he comes out of the. huddle, if he pauss it here, he sees DJ. Reed over on the number three wide. receiver. So, he knows it's man-to-man.

coverage. I believe that's Muth up top. to his right. He sees the linebacker on. him as well. So, he knows right now. Kenneth Gangwell has a one-on-one match. up with Analone down the field. So, he. just tells him, "Hey, go out here and. run and go." Now, right now, it looks. like split safety on defense. Post snap. Once the ball is snapped, it'll go to. single high. So, a post safety in the. middle of the field. So, knows once. again, I have a one-on-one in the. outside. and he just gets back there and. rips it. Now, you ask, is it normal? I. would say no. But when you have a. quarterback that's been in the game for. as long as he's been, I'd be interested.

to know where Arty Smith was actually. when Aaron took his first snap as a. starter three years in the league. But. like when you have that type of. relationship or even like Philip Rivers. or Stafford, these guys been around the. NFL so long, they have this type of. freedom, I would assume, to make these. ad adjustments and calls. And we all. know the the the play caller to uh. quarterback that communication goes out. at 15 seconds on the clock. So. everything after that is on the. quarterback. So I just love seeing this. Love hearing this miked up. Seeing this. act this actual access and then even the.

part of hey that's a touchdown. Like he. got up. He didn't get touched. So all of. that Tomlin's reaction when he was like. touch. Okay, great. He caught it. It was. just all awesome. >> Yeah. I think the special part about it. all is um the fact that it works. But. also Gainwell, he tells him to go to the. flat first. Yes. >> And then without correcting or saying. anything, he goes, "Go motion all the. way out and run a go." Gos says, "You. got to Yeah, there is all by Dan Olowski. broke down another play earlier from. this game. Jaylen Warren's long pitch. touchdown." Basically, there's a safety.

If you listen to Dan Olowsky's breakdown. of there's a safety that's certainly. supposed to spill or in uh fill in a gap. over here, be a part of it. Aaron Rogers. sees that guy high, knows that he's. potentially supposed to take the pitch. away, and he decides to tell DK Mechaf, "Hey, actually run a bubble, dude, to. get this safety the hell out of here.". Right before the snap, he looks over at. DK, gives him a hand signal to run a. bubble, takes the safety out of the. plate, then Jaylen Warren has a wide. open. It's like this dude. Yeah, >> this it's this guy verse the defense. right now is what it feels like. And if. you have Aaron Rogers battling against a.

defense, I think the way he would view. it, and he should for all these years, is like by the second half or fourth. quarter, like I'll figure it out. Like I. think that's why games are close with. Aaron Rogers. And then you hear coach. Mike McCarthy talk about like a lot of. these games come down two minute. There's nobody I really like against two. men more than Aaron Rogers. I mean he. knows what the defense is doing. So I. think just like anything or anybody. that's like super smart. He's. calibrating all game and then he is like. every play is the first 15 for him to. see what you're doing and then once he's. got you it feels like they at least have.

given him the freedom. >> Whatever you think works, let's go ahead. and do that. And maybe this is the. meetings that he was talking about. earlier in the year. Maybe like in these. meetings he's trying to tell him like, "Hey, a second and a half before the. ball is snapped, I might see something. and I tell you this, I need you to know. that and do that." Okay? I don't care. how much success you've had. I need you. to do what I we need to be on the same. page. And the same page is when I say. something, >> I need you to do it. And it feels like. the Steelers have bought in completely. >> That's the biggest difference of like. being a pro because on the college. level, you don't have a ton of this. I'm.

sure you have some of it, but when you. get to the NFL and you get into these. meetings and you're preparing for games, like it's a back and forth conversation. between the players and the coaches to. be comfortable on the same page. It. happens with quarterbacks, of course, but it happens with linebackers, safety, scoring. I'm sure Luke Keequley had the. same type of freedom on defense, you. know, with Thomas Davis or other players. that he's, hey, I know this was called, but I see this, I see this formation. I. may be looking at a split or looking at. somebody's eyes that, hey, actually, you. go. I'm going to drop. and you make. those late adjustments. But this is the. biggest part and the biggest difference.

when people talk about being a pro is. what what's happening after that play is. given from the coach to the players and. then they have the freedom to kind of. massage it to make it be perfect. >> But being a pro is all the work that. takes to get to that point. >> because you got to have the trust. >> Yeah. Not a film to to to be able to. call that [ __ ] You got to know your. [ __ ] Go ahead. And that's and that. could be a big reason why the offense. has kind of taken off in the last few. weeks since Steeland has been in the. starting lineup since MVS has been in. the starting lineup. Those are the those. are the veteran guys that are used to.

running or the not used to playing with. Aaron but he's a veteran wide receiver. He knows what he's supposed to do. But. since they've been in the lineup, it. feels like Aaron's been a lot more. comfortable on where his receivers are. going to be. >> And allegedly they've had their best. weeks of practice over the last couple. weeks. That might just be literally they. were all buying in. >> They're going to need the demon. Yeah, they're going to need the Demon, but. they're also going to need Aaron to beat. these defenses. Like, there's really. good defenses on the horizon in this. playoffs. I think that is a matter of. fact as opposed to like one or two good. defenses. It's like everybody that's. going to be in the playoffs seemingly. has one. >> Well, and showing that on tape like this.

week with the bubble like, "Hey, go. ahead DK. Run the bubble and then, you. know, we're going to toss it." I mean, next week he's probably going to throw. it. You know, it's one of those things. where now the defense has to prepare for. the toss and the bubble screen then let. alone all the gain well, you know, stuff. Hey, when he motions out, he's. probably going to go deep. Well, what. happens if this time he it's a it's a. stop and go or it's a or it's a curl or. it's a slant. It's like the setting up. also within the game is sweet. But from. week to week, the setups aren't insane. >> Yeah. Luke Keequley talked about that. when he was on the show last week. He.

was like, whenever they're doing. something, I'm thinking, why are they. showing me that this early? What are. they trying to do with it later? Luke. Keequley, though, he's hosting a show. right now doing it. Yeah. >> This is not like a normal thing that. happens. Uh it takes a lot of work and a. very special talent in between the years. to be able to get to this position. And. I think we saw that out of Phil Rivers. last night. Now. >> a man who's about to compete in the. first ever Mary Quizmas. >> What the what? >> The Merry Quizmas. What is that? Yeah. Uh it's a special thing. We'll get into. that in a second. Uh but one of the.

competitors, one of the contestants is. going to try to win $10,000 for charity. they're choosing through a set of trivia. questions that are all uh around ball. but certainly a good time. soon as he. walked into the building this morning, he said, "I knew Phil Rivers calls by. halftime." So, and he he doesn't cons. consider himself like a savant. He he. was basically just like uh I guess he. would be considered that actually. I. don't think he would consider that. He. said, "But boy, it was easy to pick up. what he was doing." I mean, that was. pretty genre based. And uh by halftime,

I knew what he was doing. And and so. Luke Kinkley on the Statcast being like, "Orland, yep, this is this Phil. I think. we're going to have to change it." You. [laughter] know, I think we have to. change things. But honestly, uh there's. only certain ways that you can go about. doing something, you know, like left and. right can only be called a different. way. Is it uh cities in different parts. of the country? Is it uh different. musicians from different places? Is. there like once you catch the genre of. the code words, it does become something. that's like, okay, pretty usable. Five.

years ago, there's a chance, you know, >> yeah, >> they might figured out some of these. code words. Sure. >> Okay. We just need to go back. I've been. a part of a brainstorm for new hand. signals and code words before. It's. awesome in there. I mean, it is a. writer's room. They are. >> Oh, I could see how we could sell that. as something, you know, like dig. classic. Start with like you're digging. in. >> But then, okay, what can we move off of. this? What do you do afterwards? Well, you do this as well. And then actually, you can kind of take that thing with. your left hand and then kind of sit on.

that thing, right? Yeah. Or or. >> how do we show this to everybody? >> Go dig here. >> Well, you can't do that actually. anymore. You got. >> your 15yd penalty. >> I wipe your nose. >> Can't pick bugs or wipe your nose. >> Yeah. And we like the kids that are. watching know he's not doing cocaine. right now. Okay. And that's not gang. affiliated. >> No, that's the gang thing too. >> Dude, slime. >> Yeah. Well, the booger gang up there in. Detroit, you know, they've been trying. to flick those things all over the. place. >> But you can't wipe your nose in any. manner. Remember that was a part of the.

bylaws of the unsportsmanlike conduct in. exactly the NFL state because it is. considered it was claused. >> f. >> Yep. Yep. Down there. >> An important one. >> More you know. >> the mo you know. Speaking who knows the. most. >> Mhm. >> Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for. merry Christmas. Now because of the. scheduling and because of the holiday. and what day of the week Christmas falls. on, you know, some of our weekly. visitors uh shifted dates. We just so. happen to have two people that we. absolutely love in the Thunderdome at.

the same time. What's the best way to. make content with two people? Boom. Have. them battle. Boom. In what? Trivia. Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce Merry. Quizmas. There will be seven questions. Okay. For our two contestants, there. will be a $10,000. donation to a charity of the winner's. choice. There will be one DOUBLE. DAD opportunity per contestant. They'll. get one point per answer. But these. points, you know, easy come, easy go.

>> Sure, >> there will be handwritten fill-in-. thelank type answers. There will be. multiple lifelines that they could use. They can phone a friend of the program. Okay, they will FaceTime a friend of the. program. We do not know who that will be. until the moment comes. It'll be a. surprise friend of the program. They can. ask the show. That's the rest of the. boys are up here. They can take a. mulligan, which is a putt on the green. If they get a a question wrong, and they. can uh let's chat that, which is get an. answer, an overwhelming answer from the. YouTube chat. Okay. >> Okay. So, the YouTube chat obviously has. a chance to maybe win somebody $10,000.

to a charity of their choosing or lead. them astray. >> These will be uh sports questions, football questions uh majority of them. And the two contestants are obviously a. fantastic duo. Introducing first, ladies. and gentlemen. This man was a football. coach for 47 years. He's Super Bowl. champion, baby. And he's a man who has. joined us every single week this season. on Tuesdays bringing the heat, bringing. the stories. Bringing stories. >> that you need to know, not just the.

stories that he wants to tell. Ladies. and gentlemen, touch Bruce Har. has brought a friend with him. I believe. that is a uh a little bit of a whiskey. He will be the contestant on the. Grinch's side. Uh and joining us, ladies. and gentlemen, is a man who obviously we. love. a man who uh is as round as he is. Jolene. He's a man who signifies the. holiday season as a whole because not. only did he just get done celebrating. Hanukkah, he's also about to celebrate.

the hell out of Christmas. Well, welcome. to Quismas, ladies and gentlemen. Super. Bowl champion AK Shipley. >> Chev. >> Is that boo? I don't know if we got any heat around. here, but. >> I do know that uh we have an incredible. opportunity to showcase two fine. gentlemen. How you doing? Ships. >> Fantastic. >> Fist bump. Fist bump. Thank you, >> coach. How you doing? Good. >> Good to see you, coach. You look. amazing. Happy holidays. Merry. Christmas.

>> Happy holidays to everybody out there, baby. >> Merry Christmas. How do you feel about. trivia? Are you a good trivia guy? Especially football trivia or no? >> H not too bad. Not too bad. Especially. the old stuff. >> Yeah. Well, 47 years in this game, you. think you would get quite an advantage. because maybe you know literally. everybody that is going to have a a. question asked about them. But do you do. trivia? Is this something you have ever. done before? >> I'll sit in a bar every now and then, watch people do it. >> Yeah, >> there it is. >> Get banged up, maybe have some people. ask you some questions about the sports. ones. Now, you much younger obviously. than your opponent. How do you feel in. your trivia abilities?

>> I feel good. I feel really good. My dad. and I used to do this when I was a kid. and I used to. >> Oh, we used to we used to go back and forth. It was mostly Pittsburgh Steelers. trivia, but I feel pretty good about. this. >> I don't know how many Pittsburgh. Steelers questions are in this. particular. [laughter] Um, we need to. get them a dry erase board and a marker. for each of them. Let me go ahead and do. that right now for the boys. Certainly. should have had those as you came out. That's 100% on the Mary Quizmiss. production staff, myself included. Would. you like the one with the uh Yep. Go.

ahead and grab it. Yep. There we go. Perfect. Here we go. >> Well done. >> Oh, a good board. >> All right, you guys got a good board. That is uh Connor's board. That is Tai's. board. I don't know if that'll bring you. any luck or not. So, $10,000 charity of. your choosing. Each question will be. worth a point. And uh I'm allowed to. take away points if I don't like the way. you guys do what you do. Don't let the. other person see your answers. Don't be. [ __ ] Let's get uh to this thing. First question here for Mary Quizmas. By. regular season winning percentage, which. active NFL franchise owns the worst.

record of all time, >> boys? The clock will start now. Obviously, don't be looking at each. other. Worst team in the NFL by winning. percentage in the regular season. Do you. guys think you know? >> Yeah, I have an idea. >> Oh, okay. Do you guys read the answers. before the show? >> No, I knew before. >> No. Uh, are both answers in? I see BA. has completed his. >> Yeah, he's already. >> AQ has no idea. >> Shaking his boots.

>> Okay, show your answers, boys. Same. answer. >> These two actually played and you can. show your answer. You can show your. answer. These two actually played for. this team and coached for this team. >> Wow. >> That is actually THE WRONG ANSWER. >> IT'S THE Tampa Bay Buccaneers. >> Not good. No, I thought the Cardinals. being the oldest franchises in the. league, they might have them by a few. years. >> Okay. And you you're Super Bowl champion. for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I guess. they've been ass for a long time. AQ.

>> Yeah, that's crazy. I went with the. Cardinals cuz I saw the stat the other. week where, you know, Carson Palmer's. the winningest alltime quarterback and. he was only there for a couple years. So, I just figured figured a lot of. losses. >> Yeah. Well, 400% down there in Tampa. Bay. Geez Louise. Get back to it. You. you really did the Lord's work winning a. Super Bowl down there. Congratulations. to you, Coach Ba, in only two years. Oh, one Tom Brady and one AQ Shipley. That's. all it takes. That's right. Question two. of quizmas here, boys. Go ahead and. erase your answers. The Bills are one of.

two teams that reach the Super Bowl four. times without winning any. Which is the. other? This feels like this one's in. BA's bag, con man. >> Yeah, this one also based on AQ's look. after reading that question, don't feel. too good about Shipley so far. Uh AQ. Shipley told us him and his dad used to. do trivia about Pittsburgh Steelers in. sports back in the day. Feels like these. first two questions from Hembo have. certainly stumped the stump built man. Debbuts, what are your thoughts on AQ.

seemingly not having a clue? >> AQ should notice. This is an easy one. >> Yeah, I'd say. >> easy. >> Let me see what you have here. Okay, let. me see what you. >> Come on. >> No answer yet. Still. >> how much time? >> I would like to PHONE A FRIEND. >> OH, >> OF THE PROGRAM. >> OKAY. OKAY. OKAY. [laughter]. OKAY. We have our first lifeline. AQ. Shipley is utilizing his. >> phoning the friend of the program. We. will uh we are dialing right now. Hopefully person will answer. Now you. never know. >> This is the front of the program. Uh.

what are you expecting from this person. that maybe you don't have right now. >> an answer? I'm hoping this guy. [laughter] has an answer cuz I don't. have any. >> You have no clue. Do you have it widow. down to a few? Like when this person. pops up, will you say, "Hey, I think. it's this, this, and this." Or are you. completely clueless right now? No, I got. it down to three. >> Three. >> Three. >> Jeez. >> Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the front of. the program who has been phoned, who. might have an answer, but maybe not. Ladies and gentlemen, >> Dan Orlovski, >> DANNY [screaming] ORLOVSKI FAMILY. MERRY.

CHRISTMAS, OLAVSKIS. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Hey. Hey. How are you? >> We're driving with kids. >> Okay, D. >> Can you pull over? Can you pull over? Can you pull over? >> I will pull over. Sure. >> THANK YOU. YOU GOT THE WHOLE FAMILY. YOU. GOT A STARTING SEVEN IN THERE. [screaming]. >> WHAT ARE WE DOING? >> IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE HAVING A MERRY TIME, NOT A SCARY TIME. IT'S NOT SCARY. CHRISTMAS, DAN. >> THAT GUY WEARING A SEAT BELT. >> PUT YOUR SEAT BELTS ON. THERE. OKAY, you're not driving. All. right. [laughter].

>> All right. You're good, Dan. Great. Hey, great work on the nerd cast last night. We watched post. We appreciate what you. did there. AQ Shipley is phoning you. because boy, he has no idea. IT'S THE. SECOND QUESTION. AND Dan Orlovski. Okay, >> we'll rally. >> Okay, AQ, any uh words uh of. encouragement to Dano before he sees the. question here? >> Yeah, Dan, I need you here. I need you. I got nothing. I think I I think I maybe. have it, but I'm really leaning on you. right now. >> And BA got his answer in quick. I mean,

>> BA gave his answer within the first 10. seconds of the question being asked. Here's the question, Dano, as we put it. back up. The Bills are one of two teams. that reached the Super Bowl four times. without winning any. Which is the other. team to do as such? >> Would you like to hear AQ who thinks. he's whittleled it down to his final. three, or would you like to go about it. alone, Dan? >> Uh, no. I'm a team guy, so give me your. three. I think I have the team, but give. me your three. >> My So, I got it down to one. This is. what I think. I think it's the Vikings,

but I could. >> I think it's the Vikings as well. >> Okay. Is this a final answer, Dano? The. Minnesota Vikings. It's the Minnesota Vikings. >> Why do you think that? >> Uh because I just remembered they had. like really good teams. Bud Grant, um. I'm not old enough to like remember it, but I know they haven't won one. >> and I think they had a bunch of really. good teams in the past. >> Okay. So, AQ, you agree with him? >> That's my guess. Ladies and gentlemen, the answer to this question. is.

the Minnesota Vikings. Wow. >> Congratulations to both of you for. getting the answer right. Dano, thank. you for coming through for AQ. He has a. final word for you here. >> Thank you, Dan. I needed that. We talked. before the show. You came through for. me. I really appreciate that. >> That's what teammates do. That's what. teammates do. >> Hey, that's good teammate, Dan. And. remember, the only reason why EQ is. doing TV is because you tried to break. down offensive line stuff a few years. back and he got enraged by it. Now you. guys are working together for charity. >> Yep.

>> It seems like a thank you from both. ends. Hey, sometimes there's. disagreements on the football field. You. eventually come together. >> We worked through it and now now. suddenly we're the smartest people on. TV. No big deal. >> All right. Okay. [laughter] Thanks, Dan. >> Christmas miracle. >> Yeah, it was a Christmas miracle. Thank. you, Dan. Merry Christmas or. >> Merry Christmas. >> Merry Christmas or put our seat belts. on. >> Jeez, why does he always do that? >> We didn't talk before the show. >> Yeah. Yeah. What's that all about? >> Take a half point. half point. Half point. No, we were. talking about other stuff. We weren't.

talking about this. We're talking about. offensive line play. >> I don't understand what's happen. [laughter]. >> That's [ __ ] Do you know who you're. calling in front of the program? Do you. know? >> I have a I have a clue. [laughter]. >> All right. TAKE A HALF POINT. half point away from him as well. He's a. half point to a half. Use him. >> No. YEAH. WE [laughter] DON'T LIKE THAT. YOU GUYS ARE COOKING. >> DID HE TALK TO HIM? >> A SURPRISE. DID HE TALK TO HIM LIKE.

>> THERE SHOULD BE SOME SPEED TO THE. >> NO, IT WAS YOU DID HAVE SPEED. LET'S. TALK. We're talking about different. things. You guys are supposed to be. surprised by the friends of this. program. >> NOW WE GOT PREGAME CALLS. I DON'T LOVE. THAT. >> YES, YOU AS. supposed to lose it another half. >> It's a half point to half point. >> Watch it. >> Third question here for Quizmas. Nobody. has rushed for 2,000 yards in a season. twice. Who is the only player with two. 19 hundredyard.

seasons? You guys will have a little bit of time. here to try to figure out the answer. Darius Butler, do you know or have an. inkling on who this could be? Do you. think it's old school or new school guy? >> Old school. >> Okay, Tone, your thoughts? >> I think old school as well. I have a. guess, but not 100% sure. >> Toxic Table. >> I'm going to say more of a new school. dude. >> Yeah, me too. And both went pretty. quickly. so he doesn't know [ __ ] So, I'm thinking news cool dude as well. >> Okay, ladies and gentlemen, first time. we've had different answers. [laughter].

>> HERE WE GO. >> BOTH MEN OBVIOUSLY were able to get an. answer, which is good news. Proud of you. guys. Proud of you guys coming to a. conclusion, making a decision, you know, when the eyes are upon you. That's a big. part of big boy stuff in Merry Quizmas. Uh why don't you both go ahead and and. uh turn around your answers. Bruce Arian. says, "OJ the Juice Simpson.". >> Okay. >> And AQ Shipley says, "Derek Henry." So, we got an old school. >> Sure. >> Uhhuh. >> And new school.

What's the right answer? It is Derek. Henry. [screaming]. [laughter]. >> How did you know? A. >> Well, I just remember I think it was. last year he ran for over it and I. remember he had a big season down in. Tennessee. You know, sometimes I pay. attention to the run game. This is what. I do. >> Oh, yeah. It feels like this was kind of. skewed towards AQ. You went with the. juice obviously old school on the field. guy on. >> good player. >> I guess untackable. Yeah guy he was he. was a real people forget great at.

football. Unbelievable. I mean I did. have the 2,000 yard season I do believe. But my next one was going to be Barry. >> and uh OJ or Barry. I went with OJ. >> Yeah. You just didn't want to give a new. school guy the answer. >> No. No way. >> Okay. There is a mulligan for another. shot. Uh that it would have to be. beforehand. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Yeah. Because we already gave the. answer. >> Yikes. [clears throat] We'll figure that. one out. You You guys will have to say. you would like to take a mulligan if. it's wrong before we give the right. answer going forward. New rules, new. game. Congratulations. You're in the.

lead. One and a half to a half. Let's go. to the next question, shall we? Here on. Merry Quizmas. $10,000 to a charity of. their choosing. Which stadium has hosted. the most Super Bowls? And if you get. this wrong, would you like a mulligan? You can only do that one time. You got. to do that before we give you the right. answer. So, it's like 100% on you guys. >> Seems like they're in deep thought. >> Do you have a lean up there, Ty Schmidt? >> I do have a lean. >> And what is that coming from? Just. watching Super Bowls and reminding.

yourselves of what place is hosting it? >> Yeah, kind of. You know, we've done this. for a couple years now, and you know, the more things change, the more they. tend to stay the same. We do kind of see. the same cities hosting this year after. year. >> Okay, I like that. Uh, the more things. change, the more they stay the same. That's kind of life, isn't it, AQ? As we. evolve, [laughter]. >> AQ's is wrong. >> I'm not saying that. >> Or is it? >> I'm not saying that. I'm not saying. that. >> I'd like a mulligan if this is wrong.

>> Okay, probably a good move. >> Okay, you are wrong. Go ahead. [laughter]. Okay, don't show your answer. So, ladies. and gentlemen, AQ gets a mulligan. His. answer was Miami, the hard rock. A good. guess has been around for like three. years. The right answer. All you. >> All you have to do here, AQ, is you. could do City. City would be the right. answer as well. >> Miami also wrong. >> Uh yeah, Miami is not the right answer. Yeah. So if it wasn't just a stadium. change. >> Shout out Joe Robbie Stadium. >> You will make one putt for another.

chance at an answer. >> Oh. >> Yeah. See, that's not how this goes. >> I like no you got to back that up. >> Minus one and a HALF POINTS. MINUS ONE. [laughter] AND A HALF POINTS. NO, YOU. GOT TO BACK IT UP. Back it. You got to. back. There's a standard putt in this. [ __ ] office. It's every single time. it's from the same spot. >> I DELETE THIS MAN TO SCORE. >> I LIKE that move. >> Yeah, I don't want to delete your points. because I think that was good and I. appreciate that you care that you're. trying to get the right answer. AQ. Shimley will have to bury a 7ft putt. here. I just saw stats. I believe that's. like 40% make rate at a PGA Tour or.

something like that. If he's able to. bury this putt with the lab putter, he. will get a chance to give another. answer. His first answer to which. stadium has hosted the most Super Bowls, Miami, was incorrect. We do not know. what BA's answer is yet. He has not. decided for the mulligan option. This is. AQ's first and only attempt for a. mulligan. >> Oh, hit it. >> AND [screaming]. what a putt by AQ Shipley. >> I'll tell you what, you were dancing.

with maybe Destruction there doing the. little twooot thing. Connor was calling. for you to get your entire points wiped. out. You've done a lot of work. I don't. necessarily love that. You can now give. a second answer. That would be the. stadium or city that has hosted the most. Super Bowls in the Super Bowls history. >> So, it's not Miami. We know that. >> No, >> that is not what BA's answer is. Okay. [snorts]. >> It's a good one to have off the list. >> Yeah, it is a good one. >> What's that, buddy?

>> Putter's gone. [laughter]. He said it's kind of [ __ ] His gone. >> So where is your putter? Your putter's. up there, isn't it? >> I don't see it. >> I think that's the one AQ just used. >> Might need to hurry up. >> Oh, no. It's back there. It's back. It's. back there. It's hiding in. bottom of the pond. >> Whiskey at whiskey. >> Okay. It's like NFL officials. We'll get. into that in the next hour [laughter]. and quizzous right now. Okay. Two. different answers. >> Okay. Like that. >> AQ on his second answer after hitting a. mall again. Boys, what are your answers?

AQ has Los Angeles. >> BA has New Orleans. The right answers IS. >> NEW [screaming] ORLEANS SUPER BOWL. FOR COACH BA. Uh you just assume that. throughout the history LA, the city of. stars would have hosted it. >> Yeah, I was just thinking warm weather. cities and obviously two host teams, right? Had have been Los. We will not. lose a point for your answer, but I do. appreciate the fact that you uh had a.

pretty good answer. Coach, uh, how'd you. know it was New Orleans? >> Been there too many times when the. lights went out. >> Oh, Beyonce. Uh, no. Super Super Bowl. Baltimore San Francisco when the when. the lights went out. That was that. That. was. >> Yeah, Beyonce. She shut the whole place. down. Yeah. Yeah. And then [laughter]. Joe Flaco. Joe Flacco. They did a slow. safety at the end of that game. I think. >> it was awesome game. And uh, San. Francisco had a great chance with a. little fade in the end zone. when they. got tipped and intercepted. >> Joe Flacco from I remember for that. Super Bowl uh was talking on the. sideline. He was miked up shout out to. NFL films and he said something along.

the lines during the long after his slow. safety return. He said, "If this guy's. running down this sideline, I'm going to. tackle him." Like what are they going to. do? Cuz they would win the Super Bowl if. not he's like I'm going to if we were to. just tackle him right here, what would. be the penalty? I do wonder I do wonder. what would have happened there. But I. like that Joe Flacco was willing to go. for it. The current score one and a half. points. >> Wow. >> I like it. >> To one and a half points. There's only. one double don option. You would have to. announce it before the next question.

And we are going to question four of. seven. You would like to double down. >> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE GOT A DOUBLE. DOWN. [screaming]. >> HE'S GOING TO DOUBLE DOWN. >> YES, HE IS. YES, he is. Coach Ba has. decided to utilize the double down. option first here. AQ, you're boring. You made your mulligan putt. Still got. it wrong. A double down is the most. electrifying part of quiz. All you have. to do here is get this question right. You don't have to hide your answer. because AQ will not be asking and your. one and a half points will become three.

points. Maybe three and a half just. because we add a half point because we. like that you were the first to do the. double down. Why now? And why not later. on the double don you go for the throat. early. >> I like that. I love that. >> No risky. No biscuit. >> Oh my gosh. Watch your throat cuz THE. DOUBLE DON question is this. Ba. Which. Penn State legend is the all-time. leading rusher in Super Bowl history? Penn State running back is what you.

would assume the answer is. AQ writing. down an answer even though he's not a. part of this question. He went to Penn. State. Do you at the toxic table have an. idea? >> Oh yeah. >> Can I steal? >> I'd like to steal. >> Shut up. >> IS THAT A FOOL? GOOD QUESTION. YOU TAKE. THAT POINT AWAY. >> THAT IS A POINT. >> YOU'RE DANCING. YOU ARE DANCING. >> He's a thief. THIS IS QUIZ. >> YOU CAN'T STEAL A DOUBLE DOWN. JEEZ. You. Grinch should be on this side. >> Ba, do you want to put the last name on.

there, too? >> Yeah. Yeah. I think you should. I think. you should. >> I know. I know. I know. But maybe, you. know, Yeah. more humans on the edge. [laughter]. >> Ladies and gentlemen, this guy bes. [ __ ] doubt. This guy has a damn. statue at the airport. >> Yes, he does. >> It is. Franco. >> 354. YARDS. HE [laughter] STUCK ON THEIR. THROAT WITH A double dime. >> AQ's dead. >> BA now has three and a I don't like that.

the back room automatically gave you the. extra half point. >> But I like that they said we should give. you the extra half point because you're. the first to use a double down. Wow. Three and a half to one and a half. That. was a Nick Moralda decision. very dunked. in his face. So. >> and he said step on his throat. I think. we all kind of like that. >> He tried to steal it. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. >> He went alumni section on an alumni of. the school. The question was. >> BA. Way to go DD there on AQ. Bro, how's. it feeling? Fresh off the first ever DD. in Quismas. That guy made those four. putts that day. >> Oh yeah,

>> comparison. Well comparison. Hasn't even. used a special yet. This guy's got two. in the chamber already. >> Yeah, it's a little bit worried. And now. you're losing uh a lot. Okay, let's go. to the next question, shall we? Question. four of Quizmas for the boys. Who is the. first quarterback in NFL history to. throw 40 touchdowns in a season three. times? Now, he's quarterback guru here, uh Bruce Arens. He's guy who had law. quarterbacks, touch his uh his hind end. to get snap, obviously lover of the. game. D Butch, do you have a couple.

obviously that you're thinking about? >> Yeah, I got a couple for sure, but this. is this is tough. The first This is. tough. >> We have the same answer. >> Okay. Oh, >> we have the same answer from both sides. >> AQ Shipley says Dam Marino. Bruce Aryan. says Dam Marino. Dam Marino Pittsburgh. legend. Who's becoming one right in. front of our eyes? Oh, ladies and. gentlemen, >> Aaron Rogers is the answer. 2011, 2016,

2020. You're both wrong. Let's go to. question five. As the. >> What's that? >> Can I double down? >> ABSOLUTELY. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AQ HAS. DOUBLED DOWN. >> NOW, Tai screamed last time that he's. going to double down, but he understands. that we're up against it for this hard. out at the end. >> So, the double down, you're looking to. maybe uh tie this thing up here as we go. to question five. >> I am. I think I'm going to use every. lifeline on this exact one. I'm going to. go here. I'm going to go ask the show. I'm going to chat. I'm going to ask chat. that. I'm going to do it all.

>> I don't know if that's legal. Okay, let's go to the double don question here. for AQ Shipley, who's sitting at one and. a half points. Who is the only active. player named to the Pro Bowl more than. 10 times? AQ's on it. >> I mean, this is the easiest double don. question I've ever seen. >> I'll tell you what, this is an easier. question than the last double don. question, but I believe we tried to play. for the guest. >> Sure. >> You know, like old school question. >> Sure. >> I'd like to ask the show. >> Potential new dude. >> I'd like to ask the show.

>> Another lifeline out of AQ who's using. multiple lifelines on one. particular thing which I appreciate and. respect. Uh, who would you like to ask? >> Connor. I'm asking Connor. You're. >> wasting value. I'm asking. >> Okay. Okay. >> Do I say what I think it is? >> Yes. Yeah. >> He played last night. >> Yep. >> He plays offensive line. >> Yeah. It's kind of what I thought. Trent. Williams. It is. >> Okay. Is the right ANSWER TRENT.

WILLIAMS? [screaming]. >> YES, IT IS. GREAT. YOU HAD DOUBLE WRITTEN DOWN. >> He had Trent and then he went back. He. went to Aaron Rogers. Now he's back to. Trent Williams. He needed it. We're at. three and a half to three. Okay. Uh BA. still in the lead. Let's get to the. fifth question. I do believe both double. dons in the can. I like that we DDed. across the board. The fifth question. Which active college football coach has. produced the most first round NFL draft.

picks? Boys, tick tick tick here. Actual. >> cake question. >> Yeah. Which active college football. coach has produced the most first round. NFL draft picks? This does feel like a. cake answer. >> Feels like it. >> Oh, well, whoa, whoa, whoa, Julie. >> Whoa. >> I mean, [singing]. >> you can still ask the chat. You still. ask the chat. >> That's right.

>> Yeah, I'll ask the chat. >> Okay, let's chat that. Now, the chat is. 20 seconds behind. We did not think. about being up against the clock like. this. >> Let me give you some names.

Very merry quiz to you. and a very scary quiz for 12-year NFL.

vet Super Bowl champion AQ Shipley. >> Yeah, nice. [applause]. >> You're currently the only person I know. completely defeated a quizmiss, but I. want to let you know I thought you did a. good job out there. >> I appreciate that. >> You kept things active. You know, there. was a lot of bending of the rules that. you were attempting to do, which we. should expect and appreciate at the same. time. >> Well, I've learned from you guys when I. come in here at UB. There's different. rules every week. So, >> okay. All right. Uh, nineyear NFL vet. Dary Shane Butler's here. >> Been in the same room this whole time. >> It has been. This guy just sucks at the. game. So, >> yeah, you said it. I mean, >> anytime. Congrats, champ.

>> Hey, >> he said it. I mean, I mean, you see. where the damn trophy is, though. >> Yeah. Trophy debug butt right now. You. know, all going on the tables here at. Boss Connor and Ty Schmidt com man. Good. to see you, brother. What are your. thoughts on Quizmas? >> I think it's a hit. I I'm actually kind. of pissed that it's called Merry Quizmas. because I won't play next week. >> Okay, we we'll certainly come up with a. new name. You can certainly figure that. out. The double dawn was a little early. tie. >> It was, you know, but hey, like BA said, when you have the the opportunity to. step on someone's throat and really end. it. You do that. And that's exactly what. BA did with the double D. AQ had no.

chance to win. >> He ends up winning by half a point. And. AQ was dancing with losing half a point. all the time. All his little attitude. and sass. Remember, he took the mulligan. putt for another answer up to about 2. in. It's like, hey, don't disrespect. Quizmus, please. Okay, you disrespect. Quizmas. The Quizmus gods come back to. get you. and they did. Congrats to coach. BA on Wilson. >> Ba Ba. >> Congrats also to the man we got a chance. to catch up with this morning. His team. has won a college football playoff game. at home. What's next? We chat with a guy. out there in Eugene, Oregon earlier.

today. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us. now is a man who has got a chance to. showcase a beautiful part of the country. to me and many others because getting a. chance to travel out to where he coaches. is something that nobody would ever. really sign up for. But then once you do. it, you think to yourself, "Man, I can't. wait to get back here." Here happens to. be one of the greatest sports capitals. on the entire planet Earth. It is not. only the track home where all of our. fast people go and the home of Nike, obviously, which has transcended the. entire globe for what it's able to do to.

our feet, but it also has a football. team that is going to be dominant for. seemingly ever. They win their first. round of the playoff game. They end up. with their third stringers in the game, and afterwards, the coach is pissed off. by the final score. That is what this. type of guy is. Intense, loyal, loving, and a damn good football coach. Ladies. and gentlemen, the head coach of the. Oregon Ducks who got THE TEXAS TECH RED. RAIDERS in the next round, Coach Dan. Lann. >> Yeah, coach. >> How you doing, man?

>> Merry Christmas, Moyes. How we doing? >> Hey, merry Christmas. We got a fire back. here. I don't know if you see it. >> I like the I like the background. It. looks good, man. >> Do you know? Put me in the mood. >> Do you know it's Christmas? Like, cuz. you're kind of in the middle of it. I've heard it's coming. Yeah, I've heard. it's I've heard it's coming. >> No, I'm excited about it. I mean, we. we're not really uh. >> absolutely got to celebrate Christmas. We're kind of locked in over here. >> Yeah, I think. >> football calendar has kind of changed. the way I view holidays, you know, Thanksgiving. Yeah, certainly a good. time when I was a kid growing up with. the family, going to uh eat with the.

extended family. Then you get into. football, it's like Thanksgiving, actually. Big football day. Okay. Christmas. Well, we're hoping it's. meaningful football. New Year's, well, that's when we would like to be playing. So football kind of changes what life is. like around this holiday season. But. let's talk about the holiday season that. is right now for your team, the college. football playoffs. First home playoff. game in Audson in its history. I heard. the speech that you gave to the boys. after your practice game uh a week. beforehand where you said, "Hey, first. ever playoff game in Oson and you guys. get to be a part of it." And then.

whenever you take that field, do you. realize the gravity of the moment? Are. you trying to minimize that [ __ ] on game. day for the team or how did you kind of. address the boys on the magnitude of the. situation and how many great players. have been through Oregon, but these are. the ones that get a college football. playoff game at Auton for the first time. ever. >> Yeah, it's weird um in a way because I. think we all recognize how different the. situation is and how unique the. opportunity is that we have, but as a. coach part of you fighting to make them.

say, "Hey, we've done this before. uh. we're replicating something we've. already done. We we're we're. experiencing something we've already. experienced. So, I think you want to. recognize in the moment how special it. is, but then you want to remind them the. reason you got here is because you were. consistent and you did what you're. supposed to do over and over and over. again and that's how we're going to. replicate it again and have an. opportunity to keep moving. >> Is that what you think is your team's. superpower, the ability to be consistent. or what do you love about this year's. Oregon Ducks team the most? I I think. our superpower is um our love for our.

teammates, you know, and I think our. superpower is the amount of guys that. make an impact on this team. You know, I. think strength and numbers has really. been a superpower for us. We've we've. been down players. Um and then we've had. players available. We've had, you know, guys that you didn't expect to make an. impact making huge impacts. Um so I. think our really our superpowers is the. strength and numbers and the buy in from. our players. >> I think it's been fun to watch your team. all season. We've been lucky to be able. to do that. Obviously, the Oregon Ducks. are always going to be in prominent. college football convo. Last year, you.

guys become the Big 10 champs, your. first year in the Big 10. Then you have. what, a month and a half off, and then. you get to the Rose Bowl and you have a. buzzsaw of an Ohio State team that. obviously comes off the Michigan game, kicks the [ __ ] out of Tennessee at home, then they come in the Rose Bowl. It's. like they felt like they were hotter, if. that makes sense. This year, you play in. the first round as opposed to having to. buy it. How different is it? And what do. you like or hate about it all? Well, I I I certainly like not having. the break. Um, you know, personally, you. know, I think the playoffs should be. played like every other sport does the.

playoffs, right? Like high school. football does the playoffs like go like. the NFL does the playoffs like FCS. football does the playoffs. You'll play. your game a week after uh the regular. season, play the next game the week. after. I think you should have home. games um all the way up until the. national championship game for the. higher seated team. Um but you know, it. is what it is. So, I'm glad we got the. opportunity to play. Um, I think it's. helped maintain that routine a little. bit more for our players, which is. great. Um, but I'd certainly love to see. some changes in the future where we can.

get a little bit more consistent. approach. >> I don't want to go back to last year. >> Okay, let's go back to last year. >> That Rose Bowl game afterwards, obviously, we were there. >> I mean, that was from beginning to end. It felt like they were going, you never. got going. Is there anything that you. looked at your team or preparation for. the playoffs this year in the off season. that maybe you thought if we would have. done this differently or maybe if we do. this or do you think it was just the. amount of break that you had versus a. hot football team? Like have you coached.

differently this year for your team to. be better in the long haul? Like did. anything change from last year's Rose. Bowl game and playoff game in the. offseason on how you address the team. this year for the most important games. of the season? Yeah, I think um you know certainly a. couple things changed um changed. ultimately we we stopped worrying about. the the next opponent and we focused a. little bit more on ourselves early on. We did the mock game this year to kind. of maintain that routine for our. players. Uh that was something we didn't. do last year. Um and again it's a little.

bit different because we're playing a. little bit earlier, but there's some. growth moments within that game. And uh. I think there's also the uh respect and. the ability to honor the fact that Ohio. State was playing some really good. football right there. Let's focus on how. we can play really good football. >> I love that. I think you're doing that. now. You weren't exactly thrilled. It. sounded like, you know, with the way. everything kind of ended that game. Is. that good news for you coaching the team. leading into this next round that it. wasn't just an absolute slaughtering and. it did end up getting a little bit. closer than I think a lot of people.

thought it was going to be? Like, how do. you view how that game started and then. how that game ended and then how you. carry that into the next one? Well, I. think it eliminates some complacency and. there's some opportunity for growth for. us for sure. If you ask me, uh, how do I. want to play? I want to play great every. time we touch the field. So, we did that. at moments, we didn't do that the entire. game. Um, so there's there's going to be. practice here this morning and we'll go. attack it. >> Did you put the what did you have guys. not playing for a little bit and then. put them back on the field? Did I see.

that? >> Yeah, we switched some guys there at the. end for sure. Um, you know, I think. there's a standard, there's a level of. play. um you know, but we used uh yeah, we used a couple different groups and we. threw some guys back in there to go go. get a stop and they didn't. So, I think. that's an opportunity for us to grow. >> That's awesome. Good for you, by the. way. Get a huge win, win by multiple. scores and also immediately afterwards. I don't like what I just saw at all and. the whole team feels that, you know, the. whole team knows that going into next. week now or next game. Now, you have a.

very good team that we have gotten a. chance to see and follow this year. coming up next. Debbut has a question. for you. The players love that. Probably. had some tape already untaped. Shoulder. pad probably unclipped. But uh what's. the challenge in this next round? The. biggest challenge facing this Texas Tech. offense. >> Yeah, you know, I think it's the whole. team. It's a complete team, but. offensively they're really big at wide. out outside. They've got a great run. game. You know, both their run games do. an unbelievable job. Our running backs. do an unbelievable job. You know, their. quarterback is is a guy that can deliver. it all over the field as well. And it.

sounds like he's really healthy, which. is, you know, that's great for them and. their team. We get to see him at full. strength. um their tight ends catch the. ball. So, I think they got weapons. across the field and and the biggest. piece is, you know, how they create. explosive plays. >> Hey, I've been all the way in Eugene and. it's a beautiful place. You guys are. playing I think the fir Go ahead con. man. >> Yeah, coach. Probably easier to fly to. Japan than it is to the Orange Bowl from. [laughter] Oregon. Uh what do you guys. do on a flight that long? How do you. prepare for that? And then is there.

something you do immediately getting off. the flight just because you've been on a. plane for 8 n hours? Like h how does. that kind of work with the team and how. do you work that into preparation for. the Orange Bowl? >> Yeah, it's not quite that long a flight, but it's a it's a long flight. Uh pack. and neck pillow, right? And then you uh. make sure that whenever you hit the. ground, we we're going to get our our. bodies loose and do a primer. Uh do some. moving. Um but ultimately, we've kind of. prepared ourselves for it. We've flown. to Ruckers this year. We've flown to. Penn State. We've we've flown across the. country more than any other team um you.

know at our level. So we're prepared for. those moments. >> Is that a weapon for you? I think it. probably is. >> Sounds like it kind of like a numchuck. or something, right? It sounds like with. something. You know, >> you could do the Russell Wilson. >> Well, yeah, you could do Russell Wilson. to high knees and we don't know if. you're already doing that in the plane. or not, but like everybody was. complaining about the long flights and. it's like. >> Oregon is probably going to be a long. flight from everywhere. Now, once again, I cannot stress this enough. Once you. land there, you're in a postcard. It is.

gorgeous. I mean, it is absolutely. beautiful out there, but everything is a. flight. So, I guess it's just kind of. expected whenever you sign up to be an. Oregon Duck like, hey, you might have to. travel a little bit to the game. So, it's not even a potential out outside. conversation. Is that inaccurate? Do you. think Reed on it? >> Yeah. I mean, who cares? They got a. football field there, right? >> You're the greatest. >> You are the greatest. Speaking of. football, go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, coach, I think a lot of people who. don't watch you guys are just casual. college football fans. They associate.

Oregon with like the Chip Kelly era. where, you know, you spread everybody. out and it's been very clear that. getting the offensive line where it. needs to be and being able to match. teams physically in the Big 10 has been. a big strength of you guys. How do you. feel you're going to match up against. Texas Tech's defense, specifically that. defensive line, which people have talked. about adnauseium all year about how good. they are, how physical are uh they are. Do you guys feel like you're pretty. prepared to match that test? >> Well, I think we got time to prepare. Um. they're certainly a really good front.

You you watch them. Uh they don't give. up explosive plays. They're really good. against the run. Uh they do an. unbelievable job rushing the passer. They got great age players. They got. some guys that eat up a lot of room. inside and great linebacker play. Um, so. this it's a complete team and it's a. complete group, but uh we do think. playing the league that we play in has. prepared us for this. You know, we have. an O line that's been up for the Joe. Moore award as finalist the last three. years. We've got some really good play. at running back. We've got um again. strength and numbers with what we've. been able to get back at our wide. receiver position, our tight end.

position. I think we got a special. quarterback under center for us. So, um. I love our team. I really do. But I. think we're going to go play a really. good one here in Texas Tech. >> You mentioned somebody special under. center there. AQ has the last question. for you, coach. >> Yeah, you just talked about how special. he is. You get to see him every single. day. We only get to see him from afar. every week. What does he do that makes. him so special? >> Well, he's not the same player today he. was yesterday, right? This guy gets. better every single day. And uh Dante. has unbelievable poise and um composure.

Uh he can make every single throw, right? He does some stuff that impresses. me consistently. um you know he's able. to go from one to two to three to four. to five in a progression um which is. really special and he makes his. teammates play better you know and I. think whenever your quarterback brings. confidence to the rest of the team. that's a special thing. >> he might be number one overall pick next. year they're saying right what they're. saying. >> they're saying that about Dante. >> they're saying maybe number one overall. pick maybe Fernando Mendoza maybe Dante. Moore goes back to college though.

>> why not. >> why not get more reps or maybe wins a. national championship sales off in his. sunset and says, "Hey, SK docks and does. his thing." There's so much opportunity, so much available, and that's cuz your. team has earned it. Congrats, coach. We. can't wait to see what you do down there. in Miami against Texas Tech. >> Appreciate it, Pat. You guys have a. great morning. >> Hey, you ever been on that motorcycle? >> No. [snorts]. >> Can you ride it? >> That's how you do it, man. You look good. doing it. >> Thank you. >> I during co I really wanted to go buy.

one. You know, when you're like, what am. I going to do this morning? I'm going to. get up. I'm I'm going to uh you know. turn on the Trager. I'm going to zoom. for like five hours, but what am I going. to do after that? And I really wanted to. get like an Indian motorcycle like the. one off of uh Benjamin Button. You know, you know what I mean? >> Yeah. That big fat ass seat down there, especially in Oregon. I assume the. riding is incredible. Have you ever rode. before? >> No. No, no, I haven't. >> So, you have no idea how to do it. either. Are you just going to do it? >> I mean, I've ridden a bike. Isn't it the.

same? That's the exact same. Hey, they. got a football field there. That's all I. really care about. You're the man. >> Merry Christmas to you and your entire. family and your team. >> We appreciate you. Good luck, ladies and. gentlemen. Coach Dan L. >> Baby Dan. Here we have Baby Dan. >> Hey, I'm a big fan of his honestly. He. uh him having that uh end of the game. against JMU where they start scoring and.

start running like the scoreboard looks. vastly different than how that game. could have went. Dan kind of resting and. then him saying the standards the. standard. That's great for a coach going. through the playoffs, right? That he has. so much to pull from. >> I don't think anything could be better. You win by a good number and you get to. kick their ass all week and just rip. them all week. You stunk, you know, just. to get the guys fired up and. >> Yeah. A little perspective changer. That's if you won by 51 to nothing, they. might be a little complacent this week. >> Mhm. >> Now, there's no complacency, especially. on defense. >> So, is coaching literally just trying to.

get the most out of everybody every. single week through like if you had to. summarize what it was cuz you talking. about like these guys and then you hear. coach Sabin talk about can't let the. guys like it's all about just managing. humans. That's all you're trying to do, right? >> It really is. And it's not just human, it's individuals and a collective, you. know, to make sure we're all on the same. page going after the same thing. >> How were you more of a do as I say, say. as I do, or were did you feel like you. were a part of the locker room? Like it. feels like Vel feels like he's part of.

the locker room, but his vote is worth. 10. Everybody else's vote is worth one, but he's one of the boys. Like I feel. like that's his What was your kind of. >> I would let you three answer that. question. >> Yeah, I think you were in there. Yeah. [laughter] You talking [ __ ] Do you. think that is the best way to go about. that's it's your personality? It has to. be authentic. You know, when I was in. Cleveland, I was in charge of a two-minute drill on. Thursdays and I had had money on the. wall with the defensive backs. All. right, these are my this is BA's money. And they didn't know that I controlled.

the script. >> So one day, hey, we're playing for 50. They 50. I'm in. I said, we need a field. goal. We're on the 50 yard line. 50. seconds. >> Two timeouts. >> We kicked the field goal. We beat him. put my money on the wall. >> Yeah. [laughter] Three timeouts. Uh you. were you were notorious uh for talking. [ __ ] to the defense. I mean, I I never. really got a chance to see that from in. the football coaching world. Like Rich. Rodriguez, his crew was like very like, "Hey, this is how this is going to be. We're going to keep it moving." Coach. Jim Caldwell and that coaching staff was. kind of an older coaching staff. Coach.

Pagano gets there, he brings in his. crew. They weren't that wasn't really. anybody's style in there. Then you get. in there and the first OTAAS I hear you. going we're gonna cook you all day to a. guy Antoine Bethe I think on the field. I'm like this is co okay I like what. we're doing. Obviously I'd heard stories. about you in Pittsburgh but it was a it. was a special thing. It was like a very. cool relationship that you build with. the boys both on the offense and. defensive side. I think it's a good. sense of leadership. I think. >> Oh yeah. You love that. Especially with. uh with Luck as the quarterback because. Luck wasn't much of a [ __ ] talker. Luck.

was more of like you'll make a play. against Luck then between series or if. the tools are up he'll be having a. conversation hey what did you see there. like why did you break on that and then. be able be talking hey coming after your. ass right now so like I don't know how. how that differed with you know coaching. Tom or coaching Payton or coaching Ben I. know the personality that Luck was it. definitely helped. >> which is great for Velo and Drake May I. it feels like Velbo and Drake are like. the perfect combo he may dog. >> quiet Yeah. >> Mhm.

>> We're focusing on next week. Yeah. Uh. this whole thing inside Drake is a. killer. Okay. Drake is an absolute luck. >> Yeah. Andrew Luck. Same exact way. Drake. killer though. Certified. We watch it. We see it. The amount of work he had to. put in to perfect his footwork that. everybody was complaining about that. type of drive, motivation, and all that. Then the way he runs, the way he's able. to get out of things, the way his. willingness to do things like Drake is a. killer. Vrabel a little bit more of the. alpha I believe. So it's like a perfect. yin and yen and then you think about.

McDaniels he's going to be there for. hundred years. It's like we are staring. at potentially the next 20 years of. excellence up there. >> Oh yeah, get used to it. By by all. accounts this is not going anywhere and. it is just incredible to be in this. reality. But uh Drake May for the first. time he was miked up and maybe it was. the first time they actually released it. but he was miked up and he came off the. field after the Raandre Stevenson. touchdown to go up after the 89yd drive. to uh take the lead again after being. down by 11 in the fourth quarter. Um and.

it was the first time ever you really. heard Drake May kind of dog mentality to. quote Ty Tyriani. That was the first. time that it really came out and you. heard it on the sideline. And I was even. surprised they put it out just because. when you watched it, it was weird in. comparison to, you know, the answers. that you mentioned that he gives out. during the press conferences, but very. much so a junkyard dog Drake May and. then having Frael being the uh kind of. loud alpha like you're saying is just. the best. >> The Steph Curry turnound there to Hunter. Henry was obviously I mean and so smooth.

and casual and then right down his. sideline which means he's so comfortable. and confident has to be with the way. he's playing. But he's in a system now. that it feels like he's really taking. advantage of everything he's great at. >> Yeah. Coach, I want to ask you though, uh, because obviously uh, Commander says. it all the time. Josh ain't going. anywhere. He's staying with the. conversation is kind of the same with. Vance Joseph in Denver because you're. coaching those great players and you. have these young quarterbacks. Why not. stay in that situation? But how hard is. it going to be for Josh McDaniel to turn. down another head coaching opportunity. or Vance Joseph if it presented itself?

>> Yeah, I I would think Vance would get a. shot again. Josh has had two. >> Yep. And I think he said, "Enough's. enough. I'm really happy where I got a. great guy." Yeah. I'm just going to ride. this out. And he he's such a great. offensive coordinator. And he hasn't. done it as a head coach for whatever. reason. And uh for I would say Josh, get. a raise and do your thing, baby. Just. keep getting paid. >> How often do people do that? How often. do people actually do that? Because. there's only 32 jobs. They talk about. the pay increase, running your own. thing. And. >> you know, so much of it's your ego. If.

you just put your ego aside and say. what's best for me and my family, and I. think Josh has realized now, this is the. best thing for him and his family. Vance. is probably chopping the bit to say, "Hey, last time was was a mistake. I got. this." And uh I I think he'll get a good. shot. >> And and what I mean, by all accounts, he. absolutely should. The hype of his. defense has lived up to everything that. it was supposed to be coming into the. year, and it has been for some time. So.

obviously there's going to be plenty of. coaching opportunities available. Every. single NFL coaching cycle there is. That's why like when Ben Johnson was. turning down opportunities for a couple. years, everybody was like, "Your window. can close quick. Your window can close. quick." You got to be able to take that. head coaching paycheck verse whatever an. assistant coaching paycheck is. And. obviously that thing's fully guaranteed, brother. And you get a chance to kind of. build the building in your own way. So I. think it's a very difficult decision. from my understanding for coaches to. make that decision. I I think there is a. great temptation to become the head. person. Not just because uh you think.

you can run it in a way that you can win. and it's your own personal ego, but also. the paycheck is doubled normally double. paycheck. Normally it's like hey. everything you like is able to go but. you have what a thousand more. obligations and jobs and so many more. things you have to balance and your life. and work thing becomes non-existent and. it's like once you start having to make. all those decisions, life maybe isn't. good. That whole second half of the. negative drawbacks of having that. particular job rarely gets talked about.

whenever guys are getting new jobs. Like. when Ben Johnson was turning down jobs, the conversation was this guy's an. idiot. This guy is not going to be the. bell of the ball every single year. He. needs to take it. Then he takes the. Chicago Bears job and immediately. they're having success. They're. obviously pumped up about that. But I. think it's much harder for these. coordinators to say, "I don't want it.". Then we're just kind of giving credit. to. And if Josh McDaniels actually does. that, good on the Patriots. And good on Josh. McDaniels for looking in the mirror and. being like, "My life's good right now. This guy's unbelievable. He's 6'5. He. can run faster than anybody. My family.

likes the area. Look at this house. This. is a really good house." But then. there's a thought, well, if my salary. doubles, >> I can get the house that Reese is living. in. Or I can go ahead and win a Super. Bowl as my own head coach. Like there's. it's such a battle. It's a very tough. decision, I think, for anybody to make, especially if you're offered a head job. There's not a lot of them. Well, and. maybe McDaniel is different because, you. know, he's or McDaniels, excuse me, because he's done it, you know, two. times, but like that's what's tough is, you know, you're talking about the ego. portion and hey, like I need to set. aside and do what's best for me and my.

family, etc., etc. Like how much money. you're getting paid feeds directly into. your ego. It's like, oh wow, you're. telling me I'm worth $12 million a year, not three and a half. Like that that's. why it's, you know, because they're. they're they're all going to be tied. always. So. >> if McDaniel stays up there, they're. going to be a problem. joining us now. live from Manatic in Ohio. Ladies and. gentlemen, AJ. >> Hoger, sorry for the delayed introduction. We. obviously would like to celebrate you as. a human on this quiz. Okay. Merry. Quizmiss to you. I don't know if you got. a chance to watch. >> Yes. Congrats to BA for I guess what the.

first ever Merry Quizmiss champion. >> He is Quizmus champion. He's undefeated. He's the only reigning champion that. we've ever had. So obviously he's going. to carry that title well with a $10,000. donation. We're excited to do it maybe. next week with a different name. It was. a good time. Felt like I learned a lot. of things. But speaking of BA and. speaking of McDaniels, it's time to give. out BA's weekly game ball. >> BA, all week we've been celebrating, you. know, outstanding performances with game. balls. This is standard operating.

procedure in NFL buildings. Coach come. in on Monday with a couple actual game. balls. They'll be painted up, too, so. you can put them up in the office or in. the house. Your uh stats, the game, the. win, everything like that. It's a big. celebration by everybody. >> Whoa. Whoa. >> What the hell was that? Thank you, Mike. >> Now we are. Now we are. Yeah, let's not. be doing that. Ladies and gentlemen, uh. it is time for a celebration from the. AFC and a celebration from the NFC. Coach. >> Ba. Who's the game balls this week?

>> Well, being Christmas, we're going with. duos this week. >> Oh, I like that. The. >> It's really hard to separate the. quarterback from the receiver. Got it. >> And they both have great games in the. AFC. Drake May and Stefon Diggs. HEY, CONGRATULATIONS. >> AND Stefan did an unbelievable job of. leadership on that sideline. When they. were down, he was pumping everybody, kept your chin up, all the stuff he was. saying, making miraculous catches. And. Drake May is just unbelievable. >> D, what do you think it is about this. Velled Patriots culture? Is it Drake May.

and he knows he can be special? Do you. think he's at the stage of life where. he's like, you know what, I want to win? Like, what do you think Stfan Digs is. thinking up there in New England? >> I mean, yeah, definitely want to win. He's been in in some different. situations. He's always been productive, but forever whatever reason, he hasn't. been able to get to that point. He's. played with, you know, pretty good. quarterbacks, I would say, for the. majority of his career, but been in this. situation with Vrabel. He even talked. about like I, you know, I can't believe. Vable had me to buy in because that's. the toughest part, too. When you're a. veteran player and you get into a new. system or with a new coach, it's tough. to get that guy to buy in. But when it.

starts from the top as far as the. leadership in the locker room and those. guys are buying in, it trickles down. It. always starts with your quarterback as. well. had a young quarterback Drake May. who even before the draft we all knew. and felt like he was going to be a great. locker room guy and it's all clicking. >> Um Drake May the guy Bruce Arens because. he's tall, athletic, he seemingly. understands what defenses are doing and. he can make every single throw. Uh and. he's seemingly in between the ears has. the moxy to be a starting quarterback.

and also yeah he's younger brother so. he's been beat up his whole life so he's. naturally going to be humble. So, is. this the per is this the one? Is Drake. May the one BA? Is there a chance he. becomes the one? >> Oh, there I don't think there's any. doubt. Just got to stay healthy. Keep. building [laughter] keep building that. offensive line around him and keep. bringing in those weapons. I mean, this. kid is amazing. >> How's he end up in New England? Cuz the. last one ended up up there. How's that? How's this happen? I don't understand. it. >> Well, the last one, I mean, I think is. why Bill Bellich's greatness is kind of. undeniable. But this one feels more so.

like h the cool shiny toys. Caleb. Williams and Jaden Daniels Heisman. winner in the in the generational. talents and then Drake May's just like. oh shoot I just like playing football. and you know doing the doing the thing. and playing with my boys. But uh Diggs. especially I was tell talking to AQ. about this. If this does go as planned, uh, looking back on this Patriots. variable May era, I think everyone will. say Stefon Diggs was one of the most. important signings in reestablishing. that New England Patriots winning.

culture, >> which he was for Josh Allen as well. >> If you think about the development of. Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs being added to. the Buffalo Bills from the Minnesota. Vikings was a massive up I think like. 25% better uh, completion percentage and. everything like that for Josh Allen. And. now Drake May only in his second year. It took Josh a couple years to find out. who he is. Feels like Drake knows. exactly who he is. Feels like the. Patriots knew who who he is. And it. sounds like McDaniel was never leaving. He's just going to be an offense. coordinator and only worry about that. forever. Okay. >> So congratulations doing it. >> I mean it it's just you guys might as.

well. >> Yeah, but the Pacers or the Celtics. stink, don't they? >> Yeah. Well, I'm Look, I'm not going to. go out on a limb and celebrate beating. the Pacers after being down 20 on. >> We were up though. I thought we won. Yeah, you guys were up 20 and then the P. and the entire Celtics bench came in and. won, but the Pacers are six and 23. So, we don't have to get into that. The the. Patriots thing though, you guys should. think about just jumping ship. >> What? >> The Colt the Colts like it doesn't look. good. Okay, Packers, I guess you should. say Debo's already a fan of the Pats. AQ, I think, is slowly but surely.

>> I kind of am coming. >> Why? How come? >> I love Josh McDaniels. I love his play. sequencing throughout the game. I love. Will Campbell. I love Jared Wilson. and. they rebuilt their own line. And the. crazy thing is when you look at this. team and the talent that they have on. that roster, it's about onetenth of what. he's going to have in about 2, three. years. It's literally. >> Oh, so are you going to be a Patriots. fan now? Are you a Patriots fan? >> No, but I just like what they're doing. I'm a big fan of watching offenses and I. love everything that Josh He's bringing. back the old school fullback. He's. running the same offense he ran with Tom.

Brady in 2001 except he's got better. athletes at this point. >> How do you feel about Vable? Why do you. get fired from because he can sell it to. Drake like everybody thought we were ass. got fired. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> He got actually. >> that's crazy to think about. He got. fired from the Tennessee Titans. basically out of nowhere. We're all just. like Mike Vrabel is. >> had a couple stinky years. >> certainly, but then he had some years. where he hadund and some people on IR or. whatever and they're the number one seed. in the AFC. And then obvious it was very. clear that there was some uh differing.

of opinion between him and ownership and. front office. And I think ownership was. potentially on his side a little bit and. then ownership got on for front office. side and that's potentially because of. you know day-to-day politic and. potentially happening behind the scenes. So Vable could have had a lot of things. that potentially motivated him to have a. chip on his shoulder to be a head coach. But him and New England seemingly. perfect for each other. Why is that. coach? >> It's a great marriage. I mean he knows. that that Patriot system everything. But. Mike Verbel I've known for a long time. and and totally respect him as a player. and a coach and uh you know we we talked.

a lot in the last couple years. I was. shocked he didn't go straight back to. being a head coach. He sat with the. Browns and watched that dysfunction, you. know, for a year and like I learned how. not to do it, [laughter] you know, but. that whole thing in Tennessee, they they. were rolling. They were rolling and then. all the politics got involved from the. front office. >> It feels like that. >> And they had personnel and coaching, they have to be intertwined to win. If. if personnel and and coaching are. different, you got players, we don't.

have any players, that [ __ ] don't fly. Yeah, you're not going to win. And uh. they got it all going on in New England. right now. >> Like that's what's so cool too is that. there isn't technically a GM really in. New England right now. Like he is the. supreme leader of the entire thing. And. when you mentioned the politic and they. had multiple different GMs there. There. were guys moving up in the front office, moving down that maybe had no business. getting promotions or a job in the first. place. Not that I know anything about. it, but looking back on it from what. people have said about the situation, that seems to be the correct assessment.

But Vrabel really is like, "Hey, these. are the guys we're going with and this. is what the team I want to be." And. Elliot Wolf also from the old regime, Bellich and Mayo has survived, has. picked dudes who have played very, very. well under the Varel era. And it just. feels as though Varel is the complete. Supreme Commander. >> And on that note, AJ Varel style. players, somebody over here, I forget. who it was. Sorry, there's a lot of. microphones right now. Somebody said. this is onetenth of the amount of talent. they're going to have in the future. That's cuz they know exactly who they.

are right now. Now they have all the. they have the most money, too. What do. you think is the type of guy that Vel's. looking for, AJ? >> Oh, I mean, I'm sure he that's the thing. about Braves, like he's an absolute old. school guy. I've known him for a long. time, but even talking to him throughout. his whole coaching journey, he's like. the old school meatthead, but he's crazy. smart. And you talk to anyone that. played with him, they said like Braves. was a coach on the field. If we ever. question, we went to Braves and he. always had the answer for us. But I. think he also is smart enough to evolve. And like when I talk about like, hey, how do you even can you even coach these. kids? like if I ever run into him like, "Can you coach these kids hard like you.

want to?" He's like, "Yeah, man." He's. like, "We can. These kids are they're. kids. It's just what they've grown up. in, what's around them, it's all that.". He said, "It's different, but it's not. like it's not worse. We just have to. find a way to get through to them." And. obviously Braves is his message is. getting across. >> He's in a great spot cuz his kids all. the same age, right? So, he literally. knows all the references [ __ ] He knows. all the [ __ ] because he's been through. >> And he's a human, too. And Braves knows. that there's a world outside of football. going on. A lot of coaches don't know. that like there is life outside of. football. >> Yes. >> And Ves is one of the most self-aware.

people we've seen and also intimidating. guys. I mean. >> and that's why McDaniels I don't think. will leave to what AJ just said. Like. McDaniel's biggest thing that he talked. about when he was at the podium one day. was just like hey Vel understands that. it's not just football like when we come. in and it's you know just the coaches. talking like we talk about our families. and what's going on like off the fields. We're not just like hey leave all your. [ __ ] at the front door when you're in. here. It's strictly football. like it's. not like that in the building. And. that's why I think the culture is the. way it is, you know, let alone the hey, don't be uncomfortable to the players.

when he's walking in the cafeteria, but. with the coaches, with each other. It's. not just all all ball. It is also like, hey, life is a part. >> So, what are you saying? You're saying. we could jump ship and become Patriots. fans at this moment because it looks. like we got about 20 30 years again for. the new. >> I'm saying if I'm. >> BA says never. BA says never. >> Well, yeah. NBA is going to ride the. Buccaneers until they stink. Which. >> Yeah, but he was also with the. Pittsburgh Steelers and the Indianapolis. Colts and both those fan bases. New. England. Yeah, right. Empire legit. >> Chiefs, Saints, I got fired a bunch of.

times [laughter]. >> because of the Patriots. Yeah, that's. what happened. But it does feel like you. have a very likable team. Now, on that. note, don't you worry about the Colts, okay? >> Big three are going to do their thing. I'm excited to see what it is. Boy, people calling for a lot of things after. last night. You know, all Phil Rivers is. saying, "Hey, we still got a chip in a. chair, brother." Okay, I I've seen worse. and I've seen people get in, so I'm. going to continue to play. I'm going to. continue to do my thing. They're calling. for a lot. And I would like people to. know that I understand that it has not. been the most successful football here.

for the Indianapolis Colts this year. I. think there was some really unfortunate. injuries. I mean, Daniel Jones, would. you would he have been able to survive. the whole season? I don't know. I think. maybe. I think he would have been. And. would he have been able to continue to. do what he was doing and only get better. in Shane Syens offense? I think so. Whenever he comes in with a broken. fibula, okay, out of nowhere, we go from. first team in the NFL to me, okay, seven. weeks, I don't know how many six weeks, seven weeks, I had the number one. headline coming out of the NFL weekend. slate is the Colts are winning the Super. Bowl.

>> The last undefeated team, >> Colts are winning the Super Bowl. Colts, number one offense in the NFL. Colts are. winning the Super Bowl. I I legitimately. thought all three phases, this team can. do it. Once I saw that video from James. Boyd, I think is his name, the. Romeoville kid. >> of Daniel Jones after the by-week turn. around and hand a ball off and he. couldn't move. I immediately said it's. over. I literally in real time. >> who was acting was it Shifty that said. like, "Oh, I don't I don't think it's. going to be a problem." Like, "He's. going to be fine. He'll be able to. handle it." I was like, "It's a broken. leg, Chefty. I don't What do you mean?".

>> We see it. He can't move. A part of the. offense is him being able to move like. that. That is that's why him and AR were. kind of like, "Hey, we can kind of try a. similar offense." AR obviously now this. soon as we saw this go. >> as soon as we saw this I knew it WAS. OVER. I GOT ON THE MICROPHONE. I HAD. JUST SAID THE CULTURE GO FROG RIGHT. THERE GIVING him the snap. He knows too. As soon as he saw it, he goes, "No, NO, WE'RE COMING OFF A BYE-WEEK. THIS IS NOT. how this is supposed to go." Soon as I. see this, I go on a microphone. All of a. sudden, people start attacking me for. being negative about the Colts. All you.

little flip-floppers. It's like, "No, man. I was just watching these games. The reason why we were good is because. Danny Dimes could move. Danny Dimes. would get us into the right position. That was the difference between him and. AR. And he was able to do all the [ __ ]. that AR was able to do. And he was. accurate passer. Like we had a real. shot. If he's not going to do it, we're. in trouble. We are in trouble. So I got. a little bit negative, too. But then I. sold myself on some dreams. Phil Rivers. This guy can do it. Turns out he can. >> Yeah. >> Turns out he actually can. But on. defensive side, >> we're never going to be healthy enough. to be able to survive. And then we we.

gave away a lot of pieces for a guy. that's not able to play right now. So I. was going we gave away we gave away some. money to another corner coming in from. San Francisco supposed to be a guy he. was knocked out in pregame. He's never. he [laughter]. for the Colts was a and then seemingly. if you took it from the first shot of. the broken fibula. >> that which I kind of did. I mean it was. a rock quick ride to the top. I was so. excited. we're going to win a Super. Bowl. And then boom, it went like this.

and this is another year of not having. success. This is another year of not. winning the AFC South. This is another. year of not being in playoffs. This is. another year of not being able to do. So. like Colts fans are getting a little. restless, I think. And it's been Chris. Ballard through this entirety. Shane. Stiken's been here a long time. And I. think every year we've been able to. bring up like very valid excuses, like. very valid excuses for him. But I think. we're at the point where the Colts fans. are like, "We're done with the valid. excuses. We we so we need to sage this. place then is what you're saying. basically." That's I don't like it, right? Because I think very valid. excuses. Like I think we got a.

quarterback that was our guy. No doubt. was going to be our guy. He gets hurt. Like a lot of teams are going to. struggle after losing your guy. We trade. two ones for a corner. Yeah. He can't. really he's not going to be able to play. like most of the games that are very. important actually going forward because. he's going to get injured on first play. of a game basically. So the other guy. gets hurt pre. It's like there's a lot. of excuses to go around for the. Indianapolis Colts, but I think the one. we should talk about the most is and. honor team might do that to a lot of. people. The second BA game ball on the. NFC side is going to who coach.

>> Brock Py and Christ McCaffrey watched. that last night live and in person and. it's like these guys are on fire right. now. >> Is it because of them or is it because. of the Colts being ass. back foot hit the ball was out. Ball was. out. It was accurate and they're off and. running. Christian is amazing. Like you. said, I don't know how he never gets. tired and uh he's going to get his. thousand thousand. That puts him in rare. rare hair. >> Yeah. Only person ever to have multiple. thousand thousand yard seasons. Thousand.

through the ground or on the ground, thousand through the sky. He's uh I. forget how many yards away. >> 163. >> uh through the sky uh to get that done. Passed 1,000 on the ground last night. He's outrageous. He never gets tired. AJ, we're watching him live, you know, just because he is a specimen. You look. at him, it's like that's like a robo cop. type that looks like the knock sakum. robot. That's what [clears throat] he's. just like arms jacked, shoulders jacked, body, everything jacked, just a a.

machine of a human. Like actually looks. like he was created in a lab. And if you. go back through his DNA, he kind of was. uh just like Olympic [ __ ] professional. athlete all over the family tree. I. mean, the whole family tree basically. above him is that. So, he was always. going to be an incredible athlete, I. think. But whenever you get a chance to. watch him live, it's like, damn, he's so. explosive. He's so explosive. Holes. tiny. He's gone. And then he's always. moving. Like whenever we're watching. Tyreek Hill back in the day, Christian. McAffrey is always moving and he never.

celebrates [ __ ] He touchdown obviously. does, but in between plays, it's right. back in there. I'm getting the ball. again. Let's go ahead and do this. It's. like as expected. He's he's a special. talent, this Christian McAffrey guy. Watching him live was a different. experience, I would say. Yeah, watch. this play right here. Okay, you want to. cover that. You want to be Zire Franklin. right there when he has a fiveway go on. you and that's just in the red zone. especially like can you I cannot imagine. how much attention you have to pay to. Christian McCaffrey but yeah him and you. check and that offense they are. absolutely rolling and coach BA is right. like Brock Pery's on fire right now man.

he's feeling it I think he's going to. continue to roll. >> is it you check uh AQ I know you've put. a lot of spotlight on the fullback from. Harvard number 44 is it you check that. really is the thing or is it like all of. it obviously. >> I mean it's all of it but he makes it go. because of all of the things that he can. do. It's all of the different things. He's interchangeable with KD, but then. he's a great blocking fullback. Also, just read a stat earlier today since. 2017. Non-receiver, non-tight end. He. has the most 20 plus catches in the NFL.

since 2017. Kyle, >> the juice is special. Always has been. He doesn't seem to ever slow down. You. know, it looks like he's getting. younger. He responded to my tweet about. the Niners being a really good football. team and him saying, "Yeah, they are, Pat." I don't like that. I'm kind of. getting a sense of attitude from the. Niners, you know, a little bit like, "Hey, you did your thing last night. You're welcome coming into the Loud. House doing that." I said, "The Niners. are a really good football team." He. responded, "Yeah, they are Pat." Okay. And then George KD, I sent him a. godspeed on the ankle. You know, like. you were unstoppable. He goes, "Yeah, I. saw you in the pregame." Blah, blah, blah. It's like, you didn't come say.

hello. He was talking like, "Yes, they. are Pat. Here you check." It's like, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> What do you WANT ME TO DO? >> WHY DIDN'T THEY COME SAY HELLO? NOW I'm. thinking about Oh, cuz they were too. locked in on that ass beating. I I mean. that offense was a machine. I mean, they. were fun to watch in Trent Williams. I. mean, we're gonna have to get into it. >> Well, we will. >> We will. We'll get there. >> Oh, yeah. >> We'll get there at some point. >> Okay. I'm excited to get into that. >> Also, like genuinely now after last. night, concern for Brandon cuz if you're. a wide receiver and you're watching. that, how can you not be like, "Boy, I. want to play with those guys so bad.".

>> So, let me get this straight. If I just. run my route, right, which I can. control. I can control me running my. route. I just got to get to a spot at a. certain time. This guy's never going to. miss. Is that is that what this is? There was one miss we got to pick. And. AQ, I think what you said was, you know, with his size, there are some things cuz. he's going to have to trajectory of that. thing is going to have to go up. So if. it floats a little bit, tips and. overthrows. >> Got to get those. He does sometimes have. those, right, AQ? >> He sails the ball over the middle a. little bit every once in a while. And.

you saw it last night, the one. interception, but you think back to the. Carolina game. It's all comes down to. timing and it's all the stuff over the. middle of the field that he's trying to. throw to a spot. And if the timing is. off just a little bit, then that's when. the interceptions come. >> Yeah. I think what's what's his downfall. is the weather that we've seen in some. games down in College Station in. Chicago. When that wind's blowing, if. you don't have a real strong arm, >> it's going to really affect your ball. Okay. >> And I think when he fails, sometimes.

it's weather. >> All right. And uh and. >> I don't think it's something he can. overcome. his arm's not getting any stronger. Oh. god. >> So he's got to if he's going to go on. the road in the playoffs in bad windy. weather, I think it'll really affect. him. >> Okay, they might have home game for the. rest of the season. Now Santa Clara, I. don't know the wind. I know back in. Candlestick, it was breezy out there in. San Francisco. I don't know what Santa. Clara is, but you're saying because if. we go back to the Cleveland game last. year, I think about it, he had like. three picks or whatever. It's like that.

was in Cleveland, right? Yeah. It's like. you're saying, hey, every once in a. while when you got to deal with some. real [ __ ] and arm strength does kind of. show up a little bit more, that is when. it could potentially show up. I don't. know. I saw him spinning that thing. He. that a tight tight spiral, coach. I. mean, that thing's cutting through, I. think. Whatever it. >> It's still loopy. It's still loopy. All right. It's not. Marino. All right. It's loopy. >> It's on Aaron Rogers. >> It's on May. >> But what about Pton? Payton had a little. loopy, didn't he? >> He did. and and but he knew he would go.

out and warm up for an hour. All right. The last game of the year we're up in. Cleveland. It's snowing. He said, "We. got to go early." He went out through in. each corner of the end zone to find the. wind where his ball was going. He got on. the 50 every direction and he knew. exactly where his ball was going. >> So, Brock, this is what we need to do. We need to find the wins in these. places. Let's go ahead and get after. that is what BA is saying. >> Yeah. It It took Pen a while. you know, going up there to Foxboro, dealing with.

those elements. Obviously, dealing with. the defenses, it it definitely takes a. while when you have to. So, these these. last couple games for San Fran would be. huge, but I'm I'm going to trust the QB. Whisperers work. >> I don't. >> Yeah, it took Payton so long that, you. know, they started bitching and moaning. about the about the physicality that the. that the Bill Bich DBs were using on the. >> Has the game got to a better spot or. not? >> I don't know. I don't know. It kind of. the beholder. >> for offense. Yeah. for for New England. Patriots fans. Yeah. >> Suck football fans. More people watching.

now or the whenever you guys wanted to. grab on to Marvin Harrison and Reggie. >> We weren't grabbing, we were punishing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We're bullying. >> And what about Dallas Clark? Were you. guys jumping on his back hug? >> Dallas Clark. Yeah, right. He was. probably bitching and moaning, too. >> Dallas is jacked, by the way. >> Great shape. >> Unbelievable. >> Yeah, he looked good in that picture. >> He's as hard as I mean, he is this. table. You hit him. I. >> How was the atmosphere over there? >> It was a lot house. You know what the. deal was? You know what the deal was? Go, go first quarter. >> No, the Pogo guys, the Pogo boys, ex. Pogo, extreme pogoing.

>> Um, they're from Pittsburgh actually, not from Indiana. And they sent it. I. will say they were doing front flips and. back flips over other humans that they. had never met before other than the day. of the rehearsal, I assume. So, shout. out to the X Pogo Squad. And then Red. Panda on a uh a floor that was put. together right before she went out there. at the 50-yard line in front of 70,000. plus with a different song in different. lighting. not only the five bowls, also. does ahead and smash the six bowl grand. finale for the Colts carnival at.

halftime. It was it was a special night. in the lighthouse. So yeah, I'd say it. was a good environment. Red Panda was at. halftime. There was glow-in-the-dark. humans. Pogo sticks were going extreme. and yeah, Phil Rivers was spinning it. all over the place. The Loud House was. electrifying. did not love that they. were up against Glock and uh you know. just like you have to turn music off at. 20 seconds on the play clock just like. the sound goes off at 15 I think there's. an NFL rule on how much time you have to. have all the field clear before a game.

at the end of halftime for regular. season games and that time came uh right. about uh. >> Mhm. You see the red. >> right here. >> right. >> now. Okay, it's over. PA guys, that's. the show. [laughter] Trying to get. everybody off the field, right? Cuz that. is like against the rule. And Red Pan is. like, "Hold the phone.". >> Bang. >> Let me go ahead and splash six real. quick. >> Was this her NFL debut? >> Uh I think somebody said stadium debut. I I do think somebody said that. So now.

granted that was just people around. Sweet. We were obviously gassing that. situation out pretty big. [laughter]. We're obviously going absolutely crazy. for that as everybody was. It wasn't. just uh our suite. It was all 78. whatever the thousands is, including a. lot of Niners fans. >> Really? >> Ner did feel that way on TV. Did feel. that way. >> They were loud, dude. Holy [ __ ] There's. There were some Niners chance happening. And I was like, whoa. And then you look. up and it's all the red. >> Sea of red. >> It's like holy [ __ ] Where are they. from? They traveled for California and.

they're like, no, actually I'm from. Chicago. Just massive Niners fan. Where. are you from? Ohigh. like Niners. faithful all across. >> They had the plane in from Atlanta was. half Niners fans. >> Yeah, I think I think Niners fans are. >> Oh, yeah. >> Nationwide, brother. >> Fan base. >> Shout out Montana. >> Steve Young, >> Jerry, >> Jerry, >> whose coaches? >> Ricky Waters. >> Bill Walsh. >> Bill Walsh and uh George Seaffort. >> Mooch. Mooch. Big. >> Moo. Mooch and Jeff Garcia. when he did. the to0 when he did the to0 and Jerry.

Rice just outrageous. >> tough spot. >> Coach Mooch says, "What do you want from. me?" The plan was to do that. [laughter]. Did you ever hear that story from Coach. Mooch? >> I don't think so. >> I think the way it goes is it was Jerry. Rice appreciation day and Tio went for. like 14 maybe 150 yards and Jerry went. for like maybe a reception for eight. yards or something like that. It was. some sort of celebration for one of them. and the other person got the ball the. entire game. And obviously Mooch is the.

one who's to blame for that entire thing. because he was the head coach. I don't. remember the exact but it was like a. fullon bobblehead appreciation. celebration of existence for one of them. and any other guy just goes absolutely. crazy. >> Oh yeah. Tio had 20 receptions for 283. [laughter]. on Jerry Rice day. So. >> five games worth. >> knowing Jerry Rice like we know of. >> Yeah. Everybody's a competitor. >> 20 receptions for 200 yards. It was even. more than what I said. >> from the AI overview. Now I don't.

>> Yeah, we don't know if they were afraid. probably doubling and tripling Jerry. They didn't want him on bobblehead day. to put up 280 as well. >> So that's what Mooch says. Mooch gives a. whole Jerry there. They got three guys. on Yeah. I don't know. This guy's wide. open. He's a really good football. player, too. We got to give him the. ball. And clearly he was seemingly. always open, which that's the old. football. >> Also breaking the 49ers Jerry Rice's. record for 16 catches in a game. >> Oh boy. You see, you can't do that. [laughter] You can't do that. >> But postgame, didn't Jerry retain his. MVP of tailgate?

>> I don't know. I don't know about that. >> I hope they won the game. >> I don't know about that. Jerry. Riceerrone is delightful and we. certainly love everything about it. I do. think they won the game. Antio got the. game ball. [laughter]. >> All right, let's uh let's go to another. segment we run every week whenever coach. BA is here. It's a time where we state. uh quotes is fact and BA tells us if. it's BS or no BS. Let's get to the first. one. Go ahead, con man. >> Yeah, Bruce, the most important thing on. planet Earth in the year 2026 isn't AI.

or public health. It's the ref's. contract negotiations with the NFL. Is. that BS or no BSBA? That is total no BS. >> Wow. >> AI is pretty important. >> This this has to be done. We have to. have professional referees. And just. looking at the Detroit Pis and Detroit. Pittsburgh game, >> the first pass interference, I. immediately called Dean Blandino and and. one of the other former referees, head.

of referees and said, "Have they changed. the rules?" I said, "No. If a DB is. engaged with a wide receiver, there's no. such thing as offensive pass. interference. So Duggar does a great job. of running into him. Yeah, >> but that's a touchdown. Detroit wins the. game by the rule book. Now, the problem. is we have I don't know how many sets of. officials that all have their own damn. interpretation of the rules. So that. >> that right there is not offensive pass.

interference because the DB is engaged. with the wide receiver. >> Hands are on the wide receiver. That's. it. That's all it takes. And and Detroit. wins the game. They're still in the. playoffs. So for me, we need. professional referees. We've talked. about having former players go to a boot. camp. Give them a way to become. referees. And but these guys have to. have accountability in the NFL office in. New York, which they don't have. They. only enter through the union. All right. That has to stop. >> I agree. And their uh contract is up in.

May, and it's obviously a big deal. It's. the first time that we have seen uh and. the NFL has always gone to bat very. heavily for the NFL officials. They find. people if you say anything bad about the. officials. They obviously come out and. support them basically in any type of. situation. Now with the contract coming. up, it does feel as if there's a time. where the NFL agrees with some of our. narratives about, hey, we could fix. this. We should fix this. Like. allegedly, they can't talk to him from. February until fall or whatever. Like. the NFL can't even talk to the refs.

after the season ends for like three, four months or whatever. It's like how. is that beneficial to the game at all? And are you trying to spiteful negotiate. or are you trying to make the game. better? And that's kind of where, you. know, they can kind of hopefully change. some things with these officials. But. you talk about that pipeline of players. Like I don't know if it could be a boot. camp or an academy, but it's like how do. we figure out how to supply ourselves, the league, and create our own as. opposed to relying on high schools from. around the country, high school leagues. and organizations, colleges around. leagues and organizations. How does the. NFL build a more self-sufficient.

uh NFL official pipeline? I I think that. should be something that the big brains. should be thinking about, Du. >> Absolutely. They got to be. >> because it's different than high school. It's different than college. There's 50. million people watching you on some of. these things. It's like we need you to. be good. >> It's a lot of lot of money. Obviously, it's a lot of interest, but a lot of. people betting money, a lot of things. And it's it's the fastest biggest. league, best league in the world. So, you should have the best breaths in the. world. That's I mean, that's simple. math. And they should be fully committed. to the team. Like we are NFL officials. That's what we are. They should have.

their own team. They should have their. own pool people. They should have their. own schooling. They should have their. own hangout. They should have their own. trust falls in the offse. I mean, they. should have their own [ __ ] AJ, I think. we're all seeing it the same way, right? I think. >> Yeah, we absolutely are seeing it the. same way. There's so much money on the. line, too, because due to these calls, and the NFL knows that. So, it's going. to have to change. I mean, they're going. to have to tweak things, especially as. we go. >> For the good of all. For the good of. all. >> For the good of all. Let's go to the. next BS or no BS or BA tie. >> Yeah, coach. Of all the teams that are. ABSOLUTE SH in this case, last in their.

divisions, we're talking the Jets, Browns, Titans, Raiders, Giants, Vikings, and Cardinals. The New York. Football Giants are the only team that. will make the playoffs next year. Is. that BS or no BSBA? >> I think that's no BS. >> That's a lot of teams. what the Giants. are doing right now and and then their. division like Eagles is the first time. to ever what 21 years to win this. division two years in a row. You got. Jackson Dart, Scataboo, Neighbors, all. those young pass rushers. If they can. fix that secondary free agency in the.

draft, I would watch out for the Giants. next year making a big jump. >> You like their defense? >> I love their defense. Yeah, those those. kids that can rush the passer, they're. all young, too. >> So, you're saying Jets? Yeah, right. Browns, who knows? Titans, I don't think. so. Raiders, yeah, right. Vikings with. nine and Kevin Okano another year. You're saying they're not going to make. the playoffs? >> Not with JJ versus uh Love Williams and. Golf. No, JJ ain't beat those guys. >> Nancy North is tough. And then the.

Cardinals obviously nobody really has. any hope for over there except for maybe. their color commentator AQ. He's saying. Cardinals not making the playoffs next. year. What's that all about? >> Yeah, they're in a tough spot. They got. to figure some things out. They got to. figure the quarterback situation out. They got to figure out the offensive. line. They got to get some better. players on defense. They got to stop. getting injured. They're the most. injured team in the NFL, so they got a. lot of things to fix. >> Last BS or no BS would be a D, bud. >> Wow. There will be wholesale changes in. Baltimore this off seasonason. Lamar. Jackson might be gone. Harbaugh might be. gone. >> The Ravens are about to enter a.

completely different era. BS or no BS? BS. >> That's total [ __ ] brother. >> What? Whoa. >> Lamar ain't going nowhere. Okay. >> And I don't think the owner is going to. move anything on John. They they need to. get healthy, but they got to get back to. the Ravens way of defense. That what I'm. watching is not the Ravens. The Ravens. were the toughest, baddest bunch of son. [ __ ] I've ever played against and. with Suggs and you go all the way back. to all the pass rushers they've had.

Hold and Ray Lewis, all those guys. I. don't see the alpha mean tough dogs on. the Baltimore Ravens defense. They got. to get back to that and they'll be right. back. >> Do you think they'll be able to do that. in one off seasonason? Diva, it's hard. to shift a culture back to something. right once it's already been his baison. >> Yeah, I'm a firm believer obviously in. talent and I think Harbaugh is a good. coach and that's who they've kind of. historically been at their core. So. yeah, I think they can get back to that. >> All right, maybe Baltimore bounces back. with the same pieces. I know the. Baltimore Ravens fans will be pumped up.

about that, AJ. I know they will be. excited about that. >> Yeah, I think so. But I think one or two. people can change the whole culture of a. defense. I think you can do that. Well, what's going on with Indianapolis then? Because I thought Louis Rumo was coming. over. >> Mhm. I mean, injury things people get. hurt, things happen, man. You know, >> we got no first rounders, got no. quarterback. >> Got two Pro Bowlers, though. >> Yeah. And at least you didn't pay Danny. Dimes before all this happened. >> No, we should have. We We. >> You lose those corners, that changes.

every That's like losing both your. offensive tackles. >> Yeah. And when are they playing again? >> Are they? >> Probably not this season. No thanks. Hey, you got. >> God speed, boys. We need you. >> Trevor Lawrence and the Jags this week. Bounce back. >> And then who? From my easy team. >> Yeah. >> No, you're at Houston. >> At Houston. >> Yeah. Home versus the Jags at Houston. >> Okay. >> It can be done. >> Possible. >> Raiders almost got. >> chip in a chair. >> Boom. >> That's AJ. My name's Pat. From all of us.

to you. Merry Christmas. We appreciate. the hell out of you. Be a friend. Tell a. friend something nice might change your. life. I think we got it in. >> Mhm. >> Merry Christmas was good. You guys. really crushed that. [laughter]. >> Incredible. >> That was pretty good. AJ, how about. that? Shout out to Hembo for the. questions. Good questions. >> We should have. >> the early early double down by BA was. key. That was huge. >> Yeah, I thought that was a big play. We. honestly didn't know how it was going to. go. We never done it before. I kind of. threw it together before the show pretty. quickly before the show. Uh, shout out. to him dodge duck dip diving and dodging.

his way into sending us over the perfect. amount of questions for what we were. looking for and the right questions. AQ. I thought was gonna maybe go over after. this first couple. AQ, you were you. thought you were in a deep water there. early. You thought you had a chance. because there was a little bit more. confidence before the show than maybe in. the moment when you were asked some. questions. >> It's one of those things when you get. the question, you think you have the. answer and then you see it and you talk. yourself into about five others. Like I. had the Trent Williams one, right? And. then I was like, Aaron Rogers has been. playing for 20 years. There's no way he. hasn't made more than 10 Pro Bowls.

Yeah, he's only made 10. >> Well, how about Ryan Day? And then going. to the YouTube chat. That was smart. Shout out to the chat. Debbut, you would. be in the link from the chat. >> I felt like that that one was kind of. lay up. I just said the other. >> Yeah, little that was Yeah. >> I didn't I didn't know if Debb was. saying actual the chat or just his. thoughts. Go ahead. >> The putt was huge. >> Oh, huge putt. >> I was put. the putt. >> He got it wrong. >> Hey, I just want to I just want to let. you guys know something. Okay. >> Yeah. >> Somebody sent me a message. One of the.

Super Bowls was at the Rose Bowl. Technically, that's considered Pasadena, but if you count that, technically still. LA. That's eight Super Bowls. So, >> maybe we should add a half. [applause]. >> Maybe we should add A HALF A POINT. We're going all of California now. [laughter]. >> It was stadium. It was stadium. >> Yeah, but then but then I clarified. I. asked about city and you did say. >> I did say city, but with stadium being. on there, not stadiums, I I mean I I. don't know what the actual That's a good.

point if that's accurate. If that's. accurate, that's a good point. >> Of course it's accurate. Somebody sent. it to me. Of course it's accurate. >> Yeah, of course. Exactly. >> Pasadena and LA. >> All right. How about this? All right. >> All right. How about this? >> Uhoh. >> Got a final final question. >> We will donate 10,000 to each of yours. Okay. Charities of choosing because of. the uh Los Angeles mixup. And we didn't. really have rules, bylaws, guidelines. for this thing at all. >> Sure. >> For an extra $5,000 donation. Uh, can we.

get try race boards? We get try race. boards. >> Is that the one you had earlier? >> No. >> Yeah, I give you both. >> All right. >> Switch up your luck. >> There you go. >> Thanks. Thanks. >> You know it's not the board. >> You know, switch it up. >> It ain't the wand. It's a wizard. >> You never know though. He You really. don't know. You don't want to change. >> Jay looks very confident. >> He doesn't even know the question. Relax. over there. AJ doesn't even know. [laughter] the question. >> Well, AQ's already riled up. Yep.

>> Oh, we don't even. >> He's in his head. That's what AQ's at. his best. >> He's in his head. Okay. >> Don't second guess it, AQ. Go with your. first instinct. >> Yep. That's the one. >> Merry Christmas for $5,000 bonus. If you. both get it right, it'll be layup. [laughter]. A donation of 5,000 to each. Fran. Tarkington broke whose NFL record for. career pass yards in 1976? >> Fran Tarkington. Obviously, a. quarterback that we absolutely love. The. quarterback that did this has a lot of. connections to us on.

>> Wow. >> the on the set here. >> Okay. >> 1976. So obviously we're thinking of. oldtime football players here. You can write your guesses down if you. have a dry erase board in front of you. AJ, do you have a guess of a couple it. could be? >> I have one guess. Okay. >> Wait, wait. AQ's AQ. >> AQ's changing his answer.

>> AQ's got no [ __ ] clue. He also just. Googled it on his phone. >> No, I don't think he has his phone out. We've been watching. Um, >> yes. Here we go. Oh, okay. >> Okay. >> What? >> All right. AQ just made a little bit of. an audible there. BA, can I see your. hand? Okay. I think we have similar. answers from AQ and BA. AJ, would you. like to give your answer of what you. think it is? >> I was thinking since you said.

connections, I think an old Arch Manning. for a second. >> Okay. Arch Manning maybe with the an I. don't know how many years he played. before 1976. >> Yeah. I don't know. >> Uh Ty, what is your guess here in this. entire thing? >> Instead of Johnny. >> Wow. That your answer is the same I. believe as BA's answer, which is the. same as AQ. No. >> AQ. Who'd you put up there? >> Joe Nameoth. Ladies and gentlemen, it's. uh. Johnny United. >> Hey Q, what connection do we have to. Joe? >> He's on game day four years ago. Come.

on. >> The Colts, baby. >> Colts. Colts. Colts. Colts. >> Isn't Joe Nameoth from Beaver Falls? >> I think. Where's Johnny? >> Oh, okay. >> I was thinking Pittsburgh when you said. that. I was thinking. >> Pittsburgh. >> Yeah, he's from Pittsburgh, too. >> God. >> So, yes, I was [laughter] TALKING ABOUT. THAT. >> JOHNNY, YOU from Pittsburgh? >> YEAH. THAT'S WHY I SAID, "HEY, LOT OF. CONNECTIONS.". >> WHERE'S JOHNNY FROM? >> UH, [clears throat] Western. Pennsylvania. >> I thought he went to Talson University. in Baltimore. >> No, he went to Louisville, baby. >> Jesus. >> Come on. >> Sounds like I'm great at trivia.

>> No, it sounds like you you act like. you're great at. >> You set up a fair 1976. I was leaning. towards BA all day. >> That was the only last question we had. left. Uh, it says Pittsburgh, PA here. Let me see. Um, >> yeah. No other. It actually says. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is where he's. from. He was born in McGee. He was born. in McGee. >> He was born in McGee. women's hospital. like myself and I think you as well. maybe and I think he was actually his. home first 10 years of his life the. point he actually lived at the fountain. >> there at the point in between the three. rivers so.

>> where they're setting up the draft. >> yeah the most Pittsburgh that somebody. could be from and uh. >> yeah he grew up on Mount He did grow up. on Mount Washington yeah he's actually. [laughter]. >> the highest point of Pittsburgh. >> I was thinking Beaver County that's. where I'm from so. >> a lot of connections a lot of. connections I was trying to give you the. answer. >> Rooney always said that was as big Best. mistake you ever made? >> Letting Johnny out. >> Let not drafting him. Yeah, letting him. go. Yeah, let him go. >> Yeah, cuz it would have been a. Pittsburgh legend obviously forever in. the way he played, how long he played. Extra $5,000 of your donation in AQ, I.

guess, if that ends up being true. The. Pasadena thing if it ends up being true. >> If not, deduct his donating. [laughter]. >> Yeah, >> you're donating as well. All right, let's get to a break on the other side. Congratulations, twotime Merry Christmas. champion. >> Wow. >> Thank you. >> Thank you. Jeez, >> you're completely defeated. It was like, you know, Buffalo Wild Wings did that. trivia thing where they start giving you. the clues and but the points get down. >> It's like I genuinely thought saying a. lot of with eyes. >> Oh, yeah.

>> I thought that was like giving you the. Buffalo Wild. I was trying to help you. out. >> To my credit, almost every quarterback. in the Hall of Fame comes from. Pittsburgh. So, >> to your credit, >> to my credit, >> you did that to them. >> Bingo. >> Way to way to put them in the Hall of. Fame. 0 for two. completely douffed in. quizmas. >> It's always next year, >> but we shouldn't focus on the negatives. >> That's right. It's always next year. >> Let's focus on all you golfers. That's. why you press on the third hole. >> Hell yeah. >> It's good time to press, but if you're. getting your ass kicked, you're going to. have to do that again. >> Press going into 18.

>> all the way. >> Every time. >> Just keep pressing. Go for the throw. >> Uh, man, I didn't expect you to be a. completely defeated Christmas player. >> So bad. Tough one for Pittsburgh. >> Such a holly jolly time. Sounds like if. we would have done like 1990 to 1995. Pittsburgh Steelers trivia though would. have nailed it. >> Would have [ __ ] knocked it out. >> Number 95 for the Pittsburgh Steelers. >> Which which time? I mean, you want to go. Greg Lloyd? You want to go Kendra Bell? We want to keep going. Where did Let's. go. [laughter].

>> Greg Lloyd. >> Uh catcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, obviously. So, >> I mean, come on. >> Come on. Andy Van Slike and the boys. Let's go. What's that? I'm not saying. one. He's looking for one. >> I'm looking at Jason Kendall. He's the. final answer. >> I knew that one. >> Greatest pop time of all time. Jason. Kendall. Golly. >> Bonito Santiago, though. We know that. >> What's that, buddy? >> He didn't have much on Bonito Santiago. He revolutionized the game from the. catcher position. >> What did Bonito do that you love so. much? >> You know, everything. He started.

throwing dudes out from his knees, bro. He's how flexible. Put on some Bonito. highlights. >> Jason Kendall would catch the pitch, drop the glove, throw with his off hand, throw people out. What are we talking. about? Revolution. >> Pretty quick pop time. >> That's not real. >> You ever watch Jason Kendall play. baseball? >> That's not real. I don't. >> Exactly. I have. So I've been there with. my. >> seems inefficient, too. >> There's no Mike Piaza. >> He's a show of the catcher position. >> Well, all due respect, neither one of. these [ __ ] guys are Mike Piaza, but. you know, [laughter] not even that. >> Yeah, I was going to say that's a story. for a different day.

>> You need to watch. >> Mike Piaza was a [ __ ] dog. Yeah. >> Still burning it. >> It's from Pennsylvania, too. >> Mike, >> who's this? Who's this highlight of? >> That's Bonito Santiago. He did. revolutionize the game, didn't he? Holy. [ __ ]. >> He's young. He played for 25 years, too. Look at Oh, no one was doing that before. him. Sorry about it. >> Yes. >> I mean, he was way early. I mean, that. guy was halfway to second. >> Perfect, bro. >> Oh, I guess I'm being told there was a. little bit of uh some conversation about. him during his career on potential.

enhancements and stuff like that. >> Yeah, but all those guys, you know, that. was that. >> I wasn't against the rules. >> Yeah, they didn't know. I mean, everybody was doing it. Hey, you eat a. little trembling guy. >> Allegedly, he wouldn't. >> That was early in his career. >> I was going to say, wait until you see. Bonito Santiago with the Reds circa. 2003. >> A little different. >> Yeah, it looked a little different. >> That's what I was calling him. That's. when I was a big fan. Yeah. >> Yeah. We didn't think it was the Is that. the White Socks there? Who was he. playing for? >> [ __ ] I couldn't tell you. >> Padres, I believe back then. >> He played so long. He played for.

probably eight years [music]. for a while. Always have a good mustache. like that. >> Johnson. Uh, I think he I want to say. AJ, did he not transition to more of a. goatee later in his career? >> He went goatee later on in his career. I. mean, he played for like 30 years, so he. went through a lot of errors. >> So, Bonito and Jason Kendall pretty. similar. >> Two P's in a pod. >> And you're saying Piaza is not in that. pod? >> No. >> What's that all about? Piaza is at the. [ __ ] top of the tree. >> What about Charles Johnson? Is he close. >> as a catcher or a hit? >> Who the [ __ ] is that? >> Charles Johnson. >> Marlin's legend. Florida Martin legend.

actually. [laughter]. No punch Rodriguez. don't have any legends. >> Whoa. Whoa. Same team. >> So we know Caline. >> So we know Cal Rollley is the best. catcher ever. Who's So then Piaza is. number two. >> Jason Veritex too. >> Jason Verit's number two. Then Piaza is. number three. >> Pudge is up there. >> But uh Piaza, you know, you got Johnny. Bench. You got Yeah. Molina Rodriguez. Yachti Molina, what are you doing?

>> I mean, I'm I'm not just going to be a. homer, but yeah, Pada is pretty [ __ ]. good hitter. >> So, Cal Raleigh is the best of all time. >> No. >> No. >> Best hitting catcher. >> No, he's had he had a great year. >> He's not Are you not even giving best. hitting hitting catcher? >> No. Piaza did it for year after year. after year after year after year after. year. And he was doing it with guys. Yeah. and on and on and on and on and on. and on and on and on and on. And he was.

doing it against guys who were taking. steroids and throwing 145 miles an hour. You got guys like Clemens hulking up, getting a broken bat back at him and. saying, "You know what? [ __ ] it. I'm. just going to throw this barrel right at. Piaza's head. Try to shake him shake him. up a little bit." He did he did that in. the World Series to him, you know? So. Piaza had a he had a rough run, but he. was he's a [ __ ] legend. >> He's your favorite catcher. >> No, Jorge Pada is bar none. But uh but I. do love Mike Piaza. >> Jason Kendall. Where's he at? >> He's up there. He's up there. No batting.

gloves. And he used to just [ __ ] grit. the sawdust off the bat. Yeah. Big Jaws. Top 50 obviously. >> Fy what? >> Top 50 catchers probably. >> with Well, >> easily. Yogi baby. >> Oh, Yogi Barra. >> So Johnny, you can't forget Yog. >> Nothing good. Just sold out games. anyways or something like that. What's. that? >> He's no Johnny Vandage. >> Oh, he was the standard. >> Conquer. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> The lawyer. >> Yeah. They called him. >> Elson Howard. >> Really? I didn't know you were going to. bring him up today.

>> Big El. >> Jeez. Alston Howard. That [ __ ] could. do it. He would just always like from. here to here was just so cool. >> Yeah. >> He was like Sammy Ball cuz he invented. invented the forward pass. [music]. >> And then, you know, not just Mickey. Cochran. >> Fisk. Car Fisk. >> Oh, Buster Posey. >> Yeah. So you love what are you putting that. up? What are you talking about? That's. my brain on display right there. >> You're a big David Ross guy. >> We got Piaza seven. I love Grandpa Ross.

Is he he played catch? >> Yeah, he ain't going to he ain't going. to find himself on any top. >> What the [ __ ] are you talking about? You. know what he's doing for United States. of America, right? >> I knew he's a great skipper, great. manager, and he was a good player, but. you ain't find him on those list. >> Grandpa Rossy gave me a bat in practice. in the middle of a tour bus one day, and. I appreciate that. And then immediately. afterwards he said, "Ah, [ __ ] I was. only 200 hitter." He's like, "Do. whatever you want.". >> Exactly. >> It was one of the greatest lines I've. ever seen. One of the greatest lines. I've ever heard. And then he went on to. recruit a pitcher to hopefully join Team.

USA. And it sounds like we got a real. squad. >> still doing it. We got big names like. week over week or saying like, "Yeah, it's there's something different about. Dawn and the Stars and Stripes." And. Bryce Harper, uh, it was either this. morning or yesterday announced he's. going to play too. We are going to have. the best team by far. And Grandpa Rossy, I'm telling you, when I was standing in. this bus with him, baseball player comes. in, he his eyes lit up. He's like, "We. need to get him on Team USA." And I'm. like, "Okay, good luck out there." He's. like, "No, no, like how are we going to.

right now? What are we doing?" Like he. very much, they're all in on like Team. USA baseball, like trying to win this. thing. And uh I love that just watching. them. And I'm not I don't know the. baseball that well. I've tried to get. into the baseball here, you know, MLB, not the MLB, obviously. I've tried to. get into MLB because of how kind and how. awesome some of the [ __ ] was this year. Great storylines. Yeah. This year across. it. So, I've tried my best to get in. there. Watching his excitement to do. what he was doing. And then learning. about his career and who he was, it's. like that guy's a living legend. Yeah.

>> Guy's an absolute living. >> Be a cool feather in his cap, too, to be. the, you know, on the coaching staff. when if if all goes right and we do win. this year. >> Cool. >> Yeah. Bryce Harper put the colors on my. chest for the first time when I was 15. >> No other feeling like it. I'm excited to. announce I'll be representing Team USA. this year in the World Baseball Classic. America. Hell yeah, boys. That's what. we're talking about. Exactly. Paul is in. there, too, right? >> Yeah. >> Is. school? >> You talking about Aaron Judge?

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's a team captain. >> So, yeah, he'll be there. He'll be. there. >> He better win. The World Baseball. Classic is going to be. >> got to beat those two Dodger pitchers. >> Yeah. Well, Dodgers, [ __ ] Japan also. doesn't just have those two Dodgers. pitchers. They have the next two of. those too as well. Pitching there and. hitting there. It's unbelievable the. depth they have. So, Japan's the is who. we're. >> Yeah, it's going to be us in Japan. >> Dr. They don't have pitching. >> Dr. Their lineup is really good. But, >> holy [ __ ]. >> they look good.

>> Dr. E, even to the casual. lineup. >> Yeah. St. Stud Stud Homer stud Homer. Yeah, >> you would know probably seven out of the. nine guys around. >> We met all those guys down at the at the. Allar game. >> I'm a big fan of they were very cool. I. will say the Dominican fellas were the. most awesome group and the Titus group. Yes. And they they have the obvious. benefit of being able to speak their own. language, but then I think they have. their own language within their own. language and I think everybody wishes. they were a part of it. From my. understanding of just hanging out at MLB.

All-Star game on the bench with the. players, >> the Dominican crew was the coolest crew. to be a part of and they were very. tight. Family coming in and out, >> talking [ __ ] certainly in Spanish by. everybody else having a good time. >> Is it same time as World Cup? >> World Baseball Classic. >> No, it's in uh like late [music]. February, early March. >> Oh, so it's coming up. Yeah, it's maybe. it starts in like the first week of. March, but that's why we're, you know, pitchers and catchers usually report in.

going to be able to get 11 people in. here and then we would pull up 11. >> Yeah, you always start 11. [laughter]. >> I mean, wow. It looks like a lot of. highlights against one particular team. >> They played more than one game. Why do. they have. >> for one game? >> Imposing our will. >> This sucks. [laughter]. >> Party in the back. >> No one. No one out beats the hug. This might be. a close distance. >> I love that Chargers Dean even more.

Now, >> if you were to touch this grass, [music]. it would feel as if the history of. football was kind of one with your soul, one with your bald and then you look at. the views, the sand. >> Gabriel Gabriel. >> mountains with the cotton candy clouds, the way the sun will rise and then the. [music] sun will set and as the sun is. setting tonight, there's going to be a. football game taking place. You're. talking about movie stuff. What do you. think it is about your team in that. locker room? And why do you think you. guys have been able to show up every. week? >> You know, I think the buy in uh on our. team is unbelievable. We talk about a.

player le team. I think a lot of people. say that, but so rarely do you actually. see it. >> Two Goliath [music] Big 10 teams. What a. magical matchup here in the Rose Bowl. And watching Ohio State do what they did. to Tennessee. It felt good for a North. It did. It felt good for the B. My god, look at those mountains. >> Look at those mountains. San Gabriel. Mountains. There's the field. The. [music]. >> San Gabriel San Gabriel. >> I believe that means the Gabriel. [laughter]. all parties and all agree that it's in. the best interest of everybody in public.

safety uh that we postpone the game uh. for 24 hours. >> DJ Hawk's working for the. >> Hello, beautiful people and welcome to. beautiful Pasadena, [music] California, the granddaddy of them all. the 111th. Rose Bowl, [music] which will be taking. place on the most beautiful field in the. history of football. The Oregon Ducks,

who are the Big 10 [music] champs, will. take on the Ohio State Buckeyes. The college football playoff is. obviously in the middle of a transition. era. But we go back in time into a movie. like setting to battle in the Big 10 to. see who gets to move on and who goes. home. Our UFOs just flew over top. to. smoke. and in the national anthem and on a day.

in the United States of America where a. heinous act has happened. It's a nice. reminder that we'll get your ass. You. might take a shot but you're never going. to win a 10 for real Howard. Same exact. play action drops on Jeremiah Smith with. space. Jeremiah Smith first touches a. top sha. Oh, touchdown. >> See the split safety right here. So,

Will Howard knows, looks the ball, steps. up in the pocket. Great throw. Takes a. shot and what happens? Jerem comes up. with the ball. Hand off to the left. James. [groaning and screaming]. Will Howard time. Oh no, Jeremy's wide. hands open. Ohio State is kicking the living shite. out of the Oregon Ducks. If Jeremiah. Smith is on your team, I think you can.

win every game. Tavon Henderson. He's in the 30, the 20, the 10. Touch G. They can run it. They can spin it. They. can kick it. This one guys team is. playing football at a level nobody else. in the country is playing right now. gathers a little snap, rolls left, throws back to the right. Jeremiah left. field. So that's another first down. Thus far, this game has been absolutely.

shining. Oh my god. Wow. That is so beautiful. You got Matt Hardy. on THE LEFT THERE. >> [laughter]. >> I SEE IT THE 47. UNFORTUNATELY, my. youngest son uh puked all over himself, went to the hospital, so my whole. family's not here anymore to hear that. >> But I'm getting some updates every once.

in a while. He seems to be doing not. much better. >> He puked over the whole section. >> Jeez. >> Instant urgent care. Instant hospital. >> Oh no. >> What type of [ __ ] was he eating? Is. someone making salmon down here? We came. down here and smelled like fish. Look at. this. >> For those that have never been here, I. would recommend coming and checking it. out. Although this particular game was. absolute. >> shining. Woo!

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

Why don't we up this to uh. $200,000 to you [cheering]. >> and we'll keep the $100,000 donation for. the light beneath the well uh that. obviously the Michigan player is doing. to make the world better. Michigan, Oklahoma potentially coming together. You're a lefty here. Okay. IF ERNEST.

HOUSEMAN CAN DIG SOME WELLS, YOU CAN. SOMEHOW PULL A RABBIT out of the hat and. hit a 30-yard field goal. Not only for. your bank account, you accountant, but. also for the world. >> Come on, Jack. [laughter]. [cheering]. >> [cheering].

>> So much fun. >> All right, let's go. [cheering]. >> Jack, come here. Jack. Jack. Jack. Jack. [cheering]. Oh, okay. [cheering]. Look at that swing. [cheering]. >> Unbelievable.

This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You.

>> damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. Hello, beautiful people and welcome back. to our holly jolly humble above. The. Thunderdome on this Merry Christmas. [music] Eve Eve hour three begins now. Football. >> He's awesome. That's AJ Hawk. That was. coach Bruce Arens. Uh 9-year NFL vet. Darius J. Butler is here alongside.

12-year NFL vet Super Bowl champion AQ. Shipley. the toxic tables here at Boston. Connor and at Ty Schmidt. Everybody in. the back, great work today, boys. >> Workplace. >> Now, we're going to wrap this up in. beautiful fashion. It's going to be in a. fashion of learning more about ball, getting smarter, maybe learn about. things that you don't normally hear. about. It's time to go AJ in the. trenches with AQ Shipley. >> Top five performing offensive lines. coming out of week 16 of the NFL season. AQ, who's number five? Wow. >> You guys got to see it up close and.

personal last night. San Francisco. 49ers. Congratulations, the Ners. >> Very good football team. But let's just. take note of one of the greatest to ever. do it. Let's watch Trent Williams, the. left tackle, as he climbs. Watch him. block two linebackers. Not one. Now. watch him get off that and get the other. one. >> That's a hold. It looks like. >> not a hold. He just looks like a spider. monkey. The way he moves at his size is. unbelievable. But short yardage play. They go 27 zone. Kyle has no one to. block because Trent Williams blocks both. guys. >> This was the play afterwards. Trent's in.

the huddle looking up at that thing. Makes sense why he was watching. I mean, he you should not be able to do that at. age 37, let alone the size that he's at. What an absolute monster left tackle. >> It's incredible. He's the best of this. generation, hands down. We talked about. it earlier, 11 Pro Bowls. He's been all. pro, I think, three times, but he is. he's one of a kind. He's one of a kind. >> UK was leading the way there for. Christian McCaffrey. Obviously, George. KD moves body. There's the 89, I think, was another one last night, or 88 maybe. was another one. There's so many tight. ends moving bodies. It feels like you.

have to be Yeah. 89 also. Yeah. Okay. So, there's just so many people moving. bodies last night. You have to be fully. committed in this Niners offense, huh? >> You have to. And then look at Jawan. Jennings. Jawan Jennings gets a great. block there. He's one of the best, if. not the best blocking receiver in. football. And I think it's a mentality, it's an attitude, and it's a prerek to. play football for Kyle Shanahan and the. 49ers that everybody has to block. >> AJ, they kicked our ass last night. That's for sure. Congrats to them. I'm. number five offensive line. Who's number. four performing offensive line in week. 16? Wow.

>> The Philadelphia Eagles. And we will. take notice today. The five teams in. this group, they're all playoff teams. The cream is starting to rise to the. crop. >> I hope so. It's week 16. >> Yeah, [laughter] the cream is starting. to rise to the crop. So, >> hey, no more politicking to get on the. top five list. Yeah. >> No, no, no politic. >> Philadelphia Eagles backto-back division. champs. They certainly have their own. home playoff game. >> Absolutely. Saquin had over 100, but. they had multiple guys run the football. Well, if we can pause this when the hole. opens up. We're going to get a toss play. to the left. Look at this thing. First. of all, the the commanders stink on.

defense. But look at the size of that. hole to run through. >> My man Quinn, my man Quinn is sitting. here saying he wants to see them again. in two weeks cuz they ran ran it up a. little bit. But listen, they do not want. to see this team again cuz Philly's. going to beat the brakes off them again. cuz they stink on defense. >> Big gaping hole. >> THEY HAVE 11 ON THE FIELD. BUT. >> I'M JUST like if you pause it like right. here like you got one. >> couple guys over on the ball. [laughter]. >> Couple guys in a row. I mean that is I.

don't know if I've ever seen that on. tape. >> It's crazy. >> What the hell is going on? Isn't Quinn a. defensive guy? AJ. What the hell's going. on in Washington? >> I mean when things go bad sometimes they. kind of it continues to go bad. Everyone's trying to get out of the gap. and make a play. It's it's tough. Defense is tough. BA is that physicality. there from the Philadelphia Eagles gonna. have them go backto box Super Bowl. champions. Are they back to who they're. supposed to be? >> As long as they can play with the lead. because they are not a come from behind. team. >> Oh, you're saying a little bit of frontr. runner situation going on with. Philadelphia Eagles? >> I definitely think so. I just don't love.

their passing attack when they're. behind. >> Okay. If they can keep this thing on the. ground, they'll continue to dominate. Their offensive line, top five in the. NFL. Congrats to them. They were the. number one offensive line last year in. the trenches with AQ. Obviously, still. time to do that. number three offensive. line. They invested in it in the. offseason. >> Yeah, the Chicago Bears have been. fantastic and they ran the [ __ ] out of. the football. I love this group. They're. physical in the cold. They can run it. well. But look at at the right side. right here. Cole KT. So it starts with. him blocking tight end number 85. Watch.

him arc out. Boom. Arc out. Just freezes. the DN just a little bit. And then you. run old school power. You get Tuni. around. You get Colston Lovelin. You get. the big Trey block. Go back. Look at. Darnell Wright, number 58 in that trade. block with Benedict getting up to the. second level. That is December football. as you would say, Bruce Arens, right? Just pound the football. Old school. power duo, all that type of stuff. This. team is built for that. >> December football, BA, what's that mean? >> Uh, it's time to run the football. But. they did a great job of not asking the. tight end to block the big defensive.

end. And that's usually where you fail. You know, a tight end blocking a 290lb. defensive end, that's not a fair fight. Ben Johnson though has the leverage and. sets up his guys to be able to block. well, right? That's why any Ben Johnson. system is going to have a good offensive. line, you would assume. >> Yeah. No question. It's work smarter not. harder, right? And I think that's the. biggest key to the really good offensive. lines right now. But I used to love my. man Coach Arens whenever we'd go play. Seattle. We'd walk in on Wednesday. You. know what he would say? It's a tight. ends DNS match up, boys. Get ready. Buckle [laughter] up. >> Love everything about it. Uh AJ, uh Ben.

Johnson, one year getting a physicality. culture and it was good. It's gotten. better. Might be the best. Mhm. >> You know what I mean? He never let rest, dude. >> I I see what you did there. Yeah. With. his design, his play design and their. how they do play. It is going very very. well for them right now. >> Well, and it's only going to get good. and better and and best potentially cuz. it's literally this his first year. there. Caleb Williams obviously buying. into the system more and more each week. Is that what you're seeing? >> He's been fantastic the last couple. weeks. He really is. And I I talked to. Clyde Christensen yesterday. Great. quarterback coach, longtime coach. We.

all know him. He mentioned about the NFC. North and the fact that Caleb Williams. arm strength being able to, as you. talked about earlier, cut through the. wind on some of these things. It looks. like it doesn't affect his balls at all. >> Yeah, he is. Uh, >> he's got a cannon. >> Yeah, he does. >> He does certainly. >> Yeah, he does go hose out there. >> Big old hose. >> He spins it. >> Yes, he does. Big strong hose. >> Taylor Williams got big strong hose. >> and it looks it. >> balls are unaffected. Yes, balls are. unaffected by the wind or anything else. out actually because he's got that big.

strong hose coming out there and and. that ball seems to levitate, you know, and just straight across the. ground. It is, you know, 25 yard strike. and it's just out of his hand like a. seed. >> Might see him later. >> It does come out like a seed. >> Big strong hose. >> Big strong hose just shooting a seed out. there and it's just through the sky. >> Yep. Especially if you can play action, suck the guys up, then you use that big. strong hose and then he delivered a. seed. >> Yeah. And that's what they're doing up. there. Ben Johnson also,

>> he knows how to navigate that big strong. hose. You know what I mean? Because he. had Jared Goff who had big hoser. >> Yeah. >> And then obviously you move your offense. down here. Now you got the little bit of. extension, you know, the extending of. play and stuff like that. And you know, you can really use the full playbook. whenever you have that. It's only. getting started up there. So we talk. about Drake May and Josh McDaniels just. getting started. Ben Johnson in Chicago. is only getting started. That's crazy to. think about. And when they started, their first investment were three. offensive linemen and now it's paying. off. You're saying? >> Absolutely. I mean, they we we've talked. about this at Nauseium. They they draft.

Darnell Wright, but then they go get. three new guys in the interior of that. offensive line. It starts there. You. build from there just like Detroit did, and all of a sudden, you got a good. team. >> All right, let's go to the number two. performing offensive line in week 16 in. the NFL season, the Buffalo Bills. Congratulations to the Bills. Yeah, the. Buffalo Bills looked awesome and I liked. what they did against this defense. You. get an up the- field penetrating. defense. Obviously, Miles Garrett wants. to rush the passer. So, they took. advantage of that. They ran a lot of. traps, quick hitters, but they also ran. some crack tosses. We used to call this.

flip at eight. Watch send the tight end. in motion, fake one way, flip the other, but you get the fullback out in front. You get Spencer Brown out in front. McGovern out in front. Look at Big Don. Dawkins just made the Pro Bowl. Congrats. Big Dion out in front. But all. the boys buying in, getting downfield, getting blocks. That's how you get the. home run. >> You already know with Deion Dawkins, you. know, he's up for offensive lineman of. the year every single year. Makes. another Pro Bowl. I think the worry is. uh does Josh Allen have the team around. him to be able to win a Super Bowl if. they let James. that offensive line can do it. Humph,

what are your thoughts on the Buffalo. Bills taking a long run? >> Yeah, every they got everything except a. number one wide receiver. And if if they. if somebody can just emerge, I don't. care who it is, as somebody to stop. You're not stopping James Cook. >> Well, so they can change the math a. little bit. You're you're hoping that. somebody can emerge as somebody that. might change the math on the defensive. side a little bit. Maybe. >> a little bit of attention on somebody on. the outside. >> We have to put two over there. If if if. you can load the box, if you can corner. can shut down their best guy, you're.

loaded box all day. >> Won't happen this year. >> What? >> Nobody's stepping up. Keon Coleman. calling one of these weeks. >> Yeah. Healthy scratch. Finally scratch. >> What does that mean? What does that. mean? >> You're good. You're healthy. You ain't. playing. >> No. Okay, I understand that. [laughter]. Yes. Please. Thank you. >> The room breakdown of what is actually. happening on a healthy scratch. >> Something missing. >> Yeah. But what is it? Cuz there was uh. what something about late and I think. Deion Dawkins came out and started. helping him be a pro and then there's uh.

he's still around and we're hoping for. him the best. It's like I don't think I. fully understand the situation going on. Did he play last year? >> Uh, yes. Played last year. Actually had. a great start. >> So, what happened? >> I don't think I don't think well in that. game against the Ravens in week one. He. played well. >> Started amazing. And I know Bill's fans. are still pissed cuz they traded that. pick that the Chiefs took Xavier Worthy. >> Yeah, I know one of them was. disciplinary, but I don't think this I'm. not sure nothing came out if it was, but. I don't I think this was just what BA. said like, "Yeah, you're healthy, but. not going to help us." So, you know, cuz. 53 on the roster, you only dress with. 46. So, it's always a decision made.

around game day. So, you got to be very. disappointed if you're a Buffalo fan. They drafted him high. He didn't spend. this off season with the team, but to uh. K's point, he did start off the the this. season well, but this point in the. season, this when you need a guy to be. stepping up and changing the math and he. has the he's a freak athlete, so it's. got to be between the ears at this. point. >> I mean, you just can't have a situation. where a guy you basically drafted in the. first round isn't going to help the team. win on Sunday. Like, >> we've seen him have big games, though.

I'm so confused by this entire. situation. Honestly, I I am very. confused because I thought we all. believed in the Buffalo Bills culture, >> right? >> Yeah. >> We all believe in the way they develop. and how they're a team and how the. chemistry and yet all that stuff we. believe in it. We watch it on Hard. Knocks and then to see this talent not I. don't know and they're just all kind of. like talking around it. It's like what. is it? Is he not good anymore? Does he. not know the plays? Is he not a good. teammate? Is he not around? It would be. nice to know because to your point, if. they do get somebody that can maybe draw. a little bit of attention, everything.

else comes like let alone the Josh Allen. powers he's running all by himself on a. lighter box would be nice. >> Well, and King Kade too has been banged. up and they drafted him in the first. round as if he was going to be a number. one as well. So like maybe if he gets. more healthy. Uh and also they paid. Khalil Shakir about $65 million. So they. do have money in the wide receiver room. I guess they just don't have you know. one of the guys. >> Sean McDermott on Keon Coleman being. inactive. just a combination of. receivers offensively that we wanted up. and then obviously Micole was moved in. the five spot there for primarily.

special teams pursuit but also a little. bit receivers. Well, I mean we're trying. to figure it out up there. They got Josh. Allen going to be [laughter] in every. game. They got an offensive line. >> It sounds like that's what IT SOUNDS. LIKE. I DON'T want to say it cuz I don't. want to start any drama, but it. certainly sounds like they are very. disappointed that that guy's part of. their team. Yeah, I won't I won't go as. far as saying they hate him, but that's. a real thing on games when when you're. not being productive on the offensive. defense side and you don't produce on. special teams. I talked about it a few. weeks ago like I I knew early on in NFL, okay, I'm not going to be a special.

teams guy. In my second year, I remember. one time I walked in the locker room and. I saw my [ __ ] I saw a sweatuit in my. locker and my pass not on and I'm like, "What the hell is going on?" And boom, Bill called me in. Hey, you're not going. to be up today? So that was a huge. wakeup call like all right you better. figure out how to impact the game and. how to not be replaceable because every. time if you are that third fourth fifth. receiver or corner or something and. you're not uh producing on special teams. your ass is on that borderline every. week. >> Keon Coleman needs to start forcing fair.

catches you know you need to start. forcing some fair put a gunner maybe. make it happen that's crazy situation. hopefully they're able to figure it all. out going forward and ladies and. gentlemen wow. >> what. >> this is big. >> incredible big. >> The number one offensive line in the NFL. for week 16 of the NFL season in the. trenches with AQ Shipley is. >> the Pittsburgh Steelers. >> Here we go. Steelers. Here we go.

[singing]. Pittsburgh going to the Super Bowl. >> I think Philadelphia Eagles potentially. the number one offensive line after week. 16 last year. They ended up being the. number one offensive line in the entire. NFL all season and the trenches and they. also won a Super Bowl because their. offensive line is the Pittsburgh. Steelers offensive line something that. can win games for them over there. >> The interesting thing is they've had. some injuries so they've put the backups. in. The backups are playing better than. the starters. So maybe we need to stay. with this left tackle Dylan Cook. He's.

been fantastic since he has stepped in. He's been great. Spencer Anderson who's. kind of their doit all Swiss Army knife. He's big tight end in this particular. picture. He's number 74. He's the big. tight end, but he also started the game. at left guard. So, anytime they go big. package, he moves out to tight end. They. bring Andrew Pete in. Sometimes he plays. fullback, sometimes he plays tackling. and unbalanced. I mean, this guy's their. Swiss army. Do it all. But it all starts. with the steady guy. That's Zack. Frasier, the center. Let's take a look. at this. Has a great reach block right.

there on the nose guard. Yep. Great. reach block front side. Dylan Cook gets. enough of him. And then Jaylen Warren, see you later. Look at Frasier running. downfield. boys celebrating. This is old. school Pittsburgh football. Connor. Haywood was fantastic playing fullback. in this game. I mean, they looked really. good. And if they can do this, then that. opens up. Aaron doesn't want to throw. the ball 40 times a game. If Aaron can. get a 230 yard rushing day and only have. to throw it 15 times, that's what this. Pittsburgh Steelers team is making.

>> Aaron can still chess. Obviously, Danowski broke this play down where he. had DK run the bubble to get the safety. out of there so there's nobody filling. the gap from over the top. Jaylen Warren. breaks through the first hole uh first. layer and then bang, it's off to the. races. The Steelers now become an. explosive offense through the sky and. the ground is certainly alarming if. you're another team in the AFC. LET'S GO. TO HAMMER TIME NUMBER ONE offensive line. in the NFL. Tone, >> what an absolute thing of beauty. [laughter]. What that's that's the first time. they've ever been on ever in any.

position one through five. And now week. 16, they're number one. Rogers is. commanding the offense. Everything is. coming up black and gold. Seven's coming. home, boys. It really is. >> How do you genuinely how do you feel. about the backups playing better than. the starters and do you think the. Pittsburgh Steelers will acknowledge. that it's a good group right now? >> So, so the where the backup situation is. happening at at is at left tackle and we. took Jones years ago uh in the first. round and he was always very very highly. talented. It it never came all together.

There was injuries and stuff like that. since Brick has been out. Um, there was. another injury at left tackle and then. Dylan Cook stepped in. In the last two. games, he's been unbelievable. So, like. the left tackle position has really been. the backup position and him coming in. and being great there is a surprise that. shocked all. It's not like he's a young. player. I think he's like 29. Um, but. him coming in there being awesome. See. him all the left guard who was out this. game. Uh, but he's the veteran in that. lineup. He's been really good all. season. And then the three, the center, right guard, right tackle have been the. same all season long. Those are the the.

young studs either in their first or. second year. Um so yeah, that that being. all like them coming together and. potentially being the line of the future. is is really really good news. >> Tell me about Zack Frasier having to. deal with Green 19 the cadences of. Aaron, right? Isn't that something that. this entire offensive line has to deal. with? >> Well, we talked about it too with. >> deal with get to deal with. I guess I'm. saying it as a negative thing. It's. certainly a positive though, but it's a. lot. >> It's cadances. It's it's switching. formations. It's switching plays and. audles. It's switching mics. These. quarterbacks, the really good ones, the. ones that play it the way it's supposed.

to be played, are constantly making. calls and moving. And if it's now all of. a sudden it could be a double cadence. and then all of a sudden you change the. thing. Now it goes to the next sound. So. there's a lot they put on the center in. these things, especially with all the. moving and changing and shaking that. Aaron does. >> I believe he has Cauliflower. You're. high school wrestler. >> Love that. Uh, one more time, Foxy, sorry, but McCormick and Fotanu or. Fotanu Troy, whatever. How what's their. celebration after a long run? If you. watch 76 and 66, once Warren breaks.

away, they point at each other and they. go to do some sort of somersault dance. celebration right here. [laughter]. >> We're going to have to find that. We're. going to have to find that [laughter]. he's [ __ ]. >> Yeah. Incredible. >> That's a big man doing the roll. I like. that. I like we're doing body rolls out. there. Go ahead and celebrate, boys. It's not It's not easy to do that. And. uh Zack Frasier running down and meeting. the ball. Love everything about it. Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers. >> They knew the war.

>> They knew what was coming in trenches. Thank you. Shipley. Top five. Buffalo. Bill, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia. Eagles, San Francisco 49ers. Round up. top five. And these are five teams that. can certainly go and win a Super Bowl. >> Absolutely. Sorry, I had I had it off. I. didn't know if it was going to mess up. the. >> Just don't do it. >> Sorry. Sorry. [laughter]. >> Just Just don't tell them you're doing. too much. Tell them just just do the. >> Just do it. >> Thank you. >> Just leave it on. Sorry. Sorry. You just. had it on. Leave it on. We don't need. you to be doing the extra stuff. Okay.

We'll figure it. Look, you got Nick in. the back. Sweat. Look at this guy. He's. had a rough day already. >> Sorry, Nick. >> There's enough microphones in different. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. >> Just earlier. I heard I heard I heard it. echo. >> Yeah. But then we had to turn it back. on. But that's top five offensive line. >> AJ, any takeaways about the Pittsburgh. Steelers being number one or any of the. other teams you saw up there, AJ Hawk? >> Yeah, I mean I think the Pittsburgh. definitely deserve it. There's a lot of. meat on the field there right there. that last clip you show with uh with the. Pittsburgh Steelers? You got to have a. heavy package defensively to try to to. try to match all that meat they put out.

there. >> Has Mike Tomlin and RD Smith changed. anything to make the offensive line's. life easier or is this just kind of. they've been cooking for this moment? >> No, they've been cooking and they also. went a little bit more smashmouth. They. used Connor Haywood Hayward as fullback. in a lot of the packages. And then the. other thing that I really liked what I. saw was the Jonu Smith Kenneth Gainwell. package that they do. It's pretty cool. Jonah Smith scores on the touchdown last. week. This week they run the toss to. him. They move Gainwell out. They run. the jet motion to Gainwell. Then they. run the flip back to Jonah Smith. So.

they got a whole package out of that. with tight end in the back field. Gainwell out wide. Then they're. motioning and like I said, Hayward as. the fullback. So they are doing a lot of. other stuff. >> What the [ __ ] are you doing? Aaron. talking to John Smith as he's in motion. behind him. It feels like they're all on. the same page and all bought in. And you. talk about somersaults. They're they're. certainly doing that in Pittsburgh after. long ass runs. >> Oh man. >> Oh, athleticism at an all-time high. obviously from the big boys. Congrats to. the Pittsburgh Steelers. All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the.

other side of the ball. Let's go to the. defensive side. Let's go everything DB. Good D, bad D with Darius J. Butler. >> DBox, we got some good D here. >> We absolutely do. Starting with Derek. Stingley, the best quarterback in the. National Football League. also uh was. all everything DB last year and this is. actually his first pick six in his NFL. career. First touchdown since high. school and then also the only. quarterback right now three seasons in a. row with fourth plus interceptions. This. was his fourth. Uh terrible throw,

terrible decision by Gino Smith for. sure. But great instinct and awareness. [laughter]. >> by Derek Stingley coming off the. receiver, making the pick, getting up. off the ground and taking it back to the. paint. How old are you, Ba? >> 73. >> How old is Pete Carol? >> 74, I believe. >> Okay. So, he gets a head coaching job. Obviously, it's for a limited amount of. time because he's 74 years old, but he. is uh assigned with the task of making. this new era of the Raiders go. It has. not gone well. Obviously, nothing really.

great to point out it other than Max. Crosby and they kept it close against. Houston Texans late. >> in the season. Brock Powers could be a. guy. What are your thoughts on the. Raiders as a whole and Pete Carol as a. 74 year old head coach? >> Well, Pete mentally is 55. He's got all. that energy. His age has nothing to do. with how he's coaching because he is. alive wired practice every day. He's. tackling guys and and that's just him. I. I think the staff he put together last. year, they did it so quickly. I think.

he's looking to to rearrange a whole lot. of guys on that staff. Oh, so we think. Pete going to be back with the Raiders. next year? >> I think so. I don't I don't I don't I. don't see the Raiders firing him in one. year. >> Wow. It'd be fascinating if Pete Carol. gets the leeway because he's Pete Carol. to go to another year and then just have. to. >> He's disgusted by it. He wants him gone. right now. [laughter]. >> What happened? >> He does not want to hear that [ __ ]. >> He is disgusted by. >> big [ __ ] He's sick of this whole.

line as well. Uh I I get all that if uh. Liam Cohen didn't throw his entire staff. together about a month after everybody. was hired in Jacksonville. And like the. other thing is too if Pete Carol Yeah, he might act like he's 55. But they. [ __ ] suck. Watching the Raiders is a. nightmare. Like even when they pop up. cuz they're a 425 game this week, so. there's only four games. So you're going. to watch them. The Texans are playing. too. Everything they do is miserable. And granted, they scored 21 points, but.

it felt like kind of the. >> Well, Jenty, good. I forgot about Gent. saying that, but it felt like the uh the. Oregon JMU game, and I shouldn't feel. that way watching an NFL game at any. point. >> Well, Pete Carol might get another year, maybe reload with a whole new staff and. restart at 74. But it does feel like. they have some pieces over there. You. know, you get a quarterback, get some. offensive linemen, you're able to go. ahead and maybe win some games. But. until then, we got to watch you guys be. ass. and Max Crosby, Brock Bowers, Ashton Genty. We appreciate you guys.

holding it down. Would be cool whenever. 50 [ __ ] million people are watching. these games you guys are playing, but it. doesn't seem like you're anywhere near. that right now. Maybe next year. >> Yeah. And please don't give Pete Carol. another year because they're pro. They. might get the first pick. You know, if. they're going to draft the quarterback, hey Pete, give give it another go. Okay. So, this this quarterback's going to. learn that offense. all those guys are. going to get [ __ ] canned and then just. what I mean we've seen like we this guy. doesn't need Mendoza doesn't need I mean. he could do it he could he's certainly a. guy who could do it he doesn't need to.

be learning two offenses in two years. >> Fernando's a guy. >> I think so. >> I think so too. >> he's definitely Brady's guy. >> 6'5. >> he's 65 I mean I go back I saw it about. a hundred times this weekend the against. Iowa they're down at Kinnick he gets hit. so hard right in the [ __ ] mouth and. just delivers the biggest seed that goes. for an 80 yard touchdown it's just like. >> and then Ohio State. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Yeah, right. >> He gets all the first play of the game. >> Very intelligent from when he's been on. the show with us like.

>> seems like he's prototype. >> I think so. He's going to do very well. in the interviews. >> It Yeah, he's going to win it over. Is. he going to go to a place that's going. to [ __ ] ruin him? >> I hope not. >> I hope not. >> He's going to go to a shitty team. That's for sure. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, unless there's some teams that. have a lot of picks that maybe aren't so. much. might be trading up. Yeah. >> Yeah, there might be some action. >> Flip it quick. >> Yeah. Hey, Pittsburgh Steelers got a lot. of assets next uh draft tone. >> Yeah. I don't know if they have enough. to move up to get Mendoza though,

unfortunately. >> In Pittsburgh, the draft, you know, the. Jets have a bunch of pieces, right? Don't the Jets have a [ __ ] ton of. pieces? So, even if they don't have the. number one pick, everybody's like, well, they're certainly going to be in the. ballpark for it. Feels like next year's. draft is going to have a lot of action. a lot of action because there's a lot of. people a lot of people that have acred a. lot of pieces. >> and that's why uh Giants Raiders this. weekend is such a massive game because. like hey let's say the Raiders do win. all of a sudden now the Giants who are. by all accounts not a quarterback needy. team they will be for sale and the.

highest bidder who has the most assets. would be the Jets at that four seed. >> that's really cool that the Colts just. gave ours to the Jets there at the 18. and next year's as well [laughter]. >> 18th have we ever had a team take a. quarterback in the first round back to. Gears. >> Uh, yes. Josh Rosen and Kyler. >> Oh [ __ ] Okay. >> Yeah, it sure was. >> Wow. Okay. I know. I know. BA had the. Giants going to the playoffs next year, but I don't know how sold I am on. Jackson Dart. >> What? >> I don't know. What do you mean, dude? He. was seven of 13 for 33 yards.

>> All right. That's a Giants fan back there. That was. crazy. >> No, I'm just saying. Yeah, it was a. crazy crazy game. He had only thrown it. six times in the first three quarters. So, if we aren't gonna let him play, why. play him? If we're just tagging, throw. Jamus out there. What's the point of. having him back there if you're not. gonna let him throw or run? >> He needs reps. He needs to get. experience. That's the purpose of this. rookie season. >> And he's got to drop back against. Flores's defense. >> He did 13 times, right?

>> Who's calling plays right now? I. genuinely got in my head. Have no idea. >> Fun game. It's Kfka. >> Fun game. It is Kfka. His name's up for. things. Fun game. Who's the interim head. coach of the Tennessee Titans? >> Uh T. He just brought his entire family. to meet Andy McCoy. >> There it is. Did you know that before he. brought his family to go meet Andy Reid? >> We'll never know. [laughter]. >> I I literally I I a Sunday morning uh I. guess it would have been middle of the. game as I see the Titans take the lead. on the Chiefs. I think to myself, I.

couldn't even tell you who the [ __ ]. inter I actually thought that to myself. I'm like, we talk about it every day and. I don't think right now I could tell you. who's the acting head coach of the. Tennessee Titans and they're beating the. Chiefs. And then immediately afterwards, turns out it's coach Mike McCoy. Here's. the entire family [laughter] trying to. He's He's saying the same damn thing. Hey Andy, these are my whole [ __ ]. family here. I can't believe this. It's. like the Titans being able to get a win. That just shows you the NFL, you know? Like we didn't even really know who and. Michael Cool. I won't let you. I. apologize for that, but you guys have. just been out of the conversation.

completely so long. >> So long and it's not fun. Cam Ward's an. exciting player. We assume he's going to. be good, but they're they're a restart. operation down there. It's like what are. they going to do? >> That's another gives you hope though. Like same as Will Anderson saying Genti. is a guy like Jeffrey Simmons saying. like I want to stay here because Cam W. >> Damn. Jeffrey Simmons has been so good. there for so long. >> So good. Yeah. But I mean, even with Cam. and what's going on there, Drake May. shitty rookie year turnaround. Caleb. Williams not a terrible rookie year, but. teamwise turn around. Uh who's the other.

one? A third one this year. Second year. quarterback, new head coach. Um it'll. come to me. But so sometimes shitty. first year, new regime maybe comes in. make some good hires on the offensive or. defensive side of the ball. If it's an. offensive head coach like Ben Johnson, hire Dennis Allen. And the flip side. with Vel hiring Josh McDaniel. >> Bryce Young's in his second year with. Canales. Trevor would be the one that's. >> Trevor. So not not as obviously further. on his career but had a shitty what.

three four years and then Liam comes. over. You hired Campanelli on the. defensive side. They're playing much. better. Trevor Lawrence looked like a. completely new quarterback. The. quarterback we all thought he would be. So future could still be potentially. bright in Tennessee. >> Yeah. And Bo Nick's second year with. Shawn Peyton. I think he looked good. towards the end of the first year as. well. So I don't think anybody's saying. complete ass of a season. I saw Cam Ward. make some uh throws these eyes against. Colts. It's like certainly has the. talent. Will they ever be able to figure. it out? Let's go to some more good D and. everything DB.

>> Absolutely. A team that has been able to. figure it out. Kind of flying under the. radar. 11 and four now. They're Los. Angeles Chargers. You got Derwin James, another all everything DB guy. Now, at. this point, 3417 backup quarterbacks in. the game. It's kind of garbage time. You. think you got to give I think Cowboys. took a bunch of their starters out. Chargers still have their starters in. This is why this guy is who he is. Still. playing like this a two-minute drive. with the game on the line. Hustling his. ass off. Great hustle. Great punch out. Give me that [ __ ] Now the game is. really over. Pack this [ __ ] up. Great.

job hustling. Great job just being that. guy who all you mentioned Max Crosby. early. Even though he's on a shitty. team. This guy every down he's going to. set the tempo and set the standard for. that defense and that team as a whole. >> That's a great peanut punch. Ba. The. thing peanut started a revolution. I. mean, everybody's doing it now and it's. it's something special. >> I mean, some people would argue it. started with Chuck Pagano. >> No. Okay. [laughter]. >> Don't put Chuck Pagano in that spot. >> Peanut Pagano. >> Pagano punch. >> Well, see, the NFL put Chuck Pagano in a. bad spot. Hey, listen. We're all We know.

you're all trying to do the punch out. Let's make sure we follow the rules. Chuck Pagano, you make a video for these. people. Hey, listen. When you're doing. the punch, okay, we all want to do it. Bob, we even do it. Bang. But this is. the best technique that's legal. Boom. And that gets sent out to all the NFL. teams. All you need is one player to be. there. This guy thinks he's [ __ ]. peanut. [laughter]. And then boom, the Pagano punch. All of. a sudden, Chuck loves ball, loves. peanut, loves everything about that. Is. getting murdered for thinking that he.

created the punch out. I never said. THAT. JESUS CHRIST. >> JESUS CHRIST. >> JESUS CHRIST, BOYS. NO. NO. Nothing but. respect for Pina. Gez, I'm just trying. to tell the rules. But you're talking. about uh an evolutionary revolution. It. has certainly become a great way to. cause a turnover and guys work it. Derwin definitely works it because. having precision punching is certainly a. benefit in this particular fast because. if you miss, you're talking about maybe. breaking your knuckles or get an elbow. or something like that. I mean, it's. very dangerous. It could be very. dangerous, but it's also lethal if you. can connect. >> and it's game changing. You know,

defenses at this point, I mean, yards. are one thing, but who cares about. giving a bunch of yards if you can keep. guys out of the end zone and create. turnovers? Giving your offenses. Now, this game was over, but giving your. offenses extra possessions and a lot of. times in favorable positions like this. offense now that set up on the plus side. of the 50 based on what their defense. did. And yeah, it's definitely a. revolution with this peanut punch. We. see it every game on every level of. football now. We saw it in uh the um. game. We saw it last night. They got a. kick return early in the game. Was it. Abdullah that came across the midfield.

in the opposite side? Boom. Punched that. thing out. Every defense, you saw it. when we were playing. Every defense. going to be punching, running back, jogging back to the huddle in practice. in training camp. You're going to be. punching it out. So you practice it, you. rep it, and always pick the football up. on the ground. >> And also, Bazooka Joe, you're in an. actual football game. >> Dick around helmet. [laughter]. >> Yeah, you're in an actual football. There's a chance your helmet's not going. to be perfect. >> Got Derwin James [ __ ] running around. on the field. Let's make sure we're not. worried about the damn helmet. Let's. >> Derwin James is somewhere near me. Okay.

Bazooka Joe. >> Bazooka Joe. I mean, we love Joe Milton, okay? We're big fans of what he can do. He can do a standing backflip. I think. he can throw the ball 80 yards. He. obviously has an incredible talent, everything like that. But we can't I. can't be watching you fix your [ __ ]. helmet in the middle of an actual. football game. Okay. It looks like. you're You think it's spring practice, >> Joe? >> Joe. And also, tighten that thing up. >> Buckle up. Yeah. >> Tighten that thing up. And you know. what? Maybe he needs a guardian if his. [ __ ] helmet's able to come off a. >> You're right. Mhm. You're right. >> Patriots also won a game on the peanut. butter. >> You know, I got a little problem. All.

the chicken [ __ ] guys that punch and. don't want to tackle. >> [clears throat]. >> punching. If you're punching and making. a tackle, that's peanut. This punch, boop, there he goes for a touchdown. I. try to punch it out. Coach, make the. [ __ ] tackle. >> Okay. We need both. We need both is what. you're saying. I understand. >> It used to be if you were like the. second or third guy. AJ probably speak. to it. Hey, the first guy get in there, wrap him up. Second, third guy, you. coming to punch. Now you could be. one-on-one open field and this guys, to. your point, just going straight straight. punch. And as a defender going for that.

ball, those tacklers, I mean, those. those backs, those tight ends, like. they're just going. So, it's going to. make the tackle easier nine times out of. 10 when you're going for because really. is a guy just going to juke. You see the. most scary runner probably ever in. history, Derrick Henry, you go for that. ball. I don't care how big and strong. you are. If that's that's the program. right there. So, you tackle that. football, you're in a good spot. >> AJ, were you a big punch out? I wish I. was more I wish I emphasized it more. because it's like taken off over the. last 10 12 years I guess like to where.

first guy in is going he's you got to. secure the tackle of course but yeah. they're giving a good hard punch like it. was more emphasized when I was playing. as like second guy in third guy in. always you guys come in there and punch. and rip at that ball but it's it has. changed the game. It truly has. I think. runners too, like it slows them down as. well on the perimeter outside. They know. if you have any awareness you got, if. you've ever had a ball punched out, it. will definitely slow you down in. traffic. >> Yeah. A little PTSD, scary situation. watching that thing. Oh my god. That's. everybody's livelihoods just kind of.

bouncing out of my hand. I was entrusted. with this ball and it is gone. And you. know, I like the conversation about it. turned into a business decision. You. used to play pickup basketball, boys. parking. If there was bigger, much more. athletic guy was older than me playing. I'm doing the reach round punch. Trying. to get him when he's dribbling. Oh yeah. Not [laughter] actually playing defense. Starting fast break. >> Yeah. Just doing one of those car. picking down the other way. >> Yeah. Telling everybody like I try I. thought I was gonna get out. Where's. >> Yeah, that's on me. I I thought I was. going to get it out. Every once in a. while you will make connection there. Oh, you're a hero.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Go [laughter] back the other. way. Now we're go back the other way. So. against Philadelphia. Philadelphia. >> We had kickoff guy. Big return. He runs. I end up in p position trail. I try to. do the basketball punch out. I don't. think I got contact. Ball came out. >> Wow. >> Ball came out. Goes out of bounds. Okay. So, obviously nobody gets it. But I. remember thinking to myself, boy, >> I did it. >> I just [ __ ] got this guy. Could you. imagine? I don't think it was like when. I killed that buck and I didn't shoot. I. had a heart attack. There was no entry.

It's like that punch out I think was. similar. Like I don't think I I never. >> got the win. >> I've never felt the idea of it. Yeah. The idea of it just knocked it out. >> Yeah. In my brain, I'm like, "This is. what I'm trying to do." And then for. some reason, the ball bounced out. But I. do remember that. And nobody. complimented me, man. It was. unbelievable. I was so bummed out. I'm. like, "I got the [ __ ] ball.". >> Still a caused fumble, though. >> Yeah. I went out of bounds. Guy had a. get the ball out to 50. Obviously, if. I'm making a play, so that's not good. But if I was on defense and there's. [ __ ] Derrick Henry running at me. >> Ball's a program.

>> You know, one of those. Let me get a. backpack. I backpack the [ __ ] out of. Derrick Henry there. Yeah, right. His. knees. I don't like watching him fumble. I tweeted this the other day. Feels. weird. >> Feels weird watching Derrick Henry. fumble. >> It's been an issue. >> It's not supposed to happen. Like it's. not It's Derrick Henry. He's a. superhero. Like that is actually what it. is. So every time you see like a. superhero like crack, it's like I don't. like that's not my childhood. Like that. that's literally what I think every time. I see it come out. >> His fumble the other night, he had it. high and tight. Everything you teach a. ball carrier is high and tight. First.

guy comes in, second guy catches the. ball right boom and it goes. >> Demoralizing. They said Derrick Henry's. shaking his head on the bench the whole. time. It's like I don't want to see. Derrick Henry shaking his head. This. guy's a [ __ ] superhero. >> He did everything he supposed. He had a. nice high and tight. >> Not everything. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Over the last like year and a half, too. It's it's went from like, "Holy [ __ ] he. fumbled like, oh man, Derek Henry. fumbled again in the fourth quarter.". Like that's kind of like where it's. going cuz it's happened multiple times. now. >> You're all right, Derek. We still.

remember Turbo, man. >> On to next year, Derek. >> I still remember Turbo, man. Any more. good day or we got bad day on Christmas. He was on quiz today. >> He was uh nobody but wanted to believe. >> long time ago. >> Oh, sorry. You did. I got it right. >> He did. >> Or your only question. >> I think it was the only one I got right. >> New school dude. >> That's right. >> But yeah, we got Speaking of New School. dudes, Liam Cohen got this defense and. this team rolling. Jacksonville Jaguars. You talk about a full circle moment. We. saw Jerry Jones on the sideline with the. unbelievable hurdle. We know what.

happened with Seaquan last year. And. this was shortly after kind of a he. played it like a twoman in some type of. zone. I would assume like a matchback. side. So you play it underneath. You got. the safety over the top. And then Bo. Nicks, I don't know why he made this. throw to Pat Bryant. Maybe expect the. big receiver to go up and be physical. But great job by Jiren Jones going up, finishing his play, being in position, and like, oh [ __ ] he's actually. throwing his ball, going up, snagging. that thing. Good. >> He's the one that jumped over, buddy. Yeah. And also got jumped over. Yeah, >> Jiren Jones is putting together one of. the greatest highlights in the history. of the NFL. Oh, yeah.

>> If he can keep getting picks and keep. making big time plays. I mean, they're. going to talk about Hall of Fame stuff. Like, look what this guy's been a part. of. Look at these moments. That sideline. leap, AJ. I mean, we've seen people blow. out their knees. Instead, he's jumping. over dudes and then getting a pick. later. What a day for him up there in. Mile High. >> Yeah. Awesome. If you notice, it's. fourth and two on that, too. So, he. widens the receiver and then bam, gets. his eyes turned around cuz he knows that. ball is probably coming out. But yeah, not many people can just standing uh in. the moment just jump over another. professional athlete, you know, screaming at him 100 milesPH. >> Yeah. And it wasn't like you I mean.

that's four and a half 5T there. I think. you got to clear balls, you know. Oh. yeah. >> Yeah. I I think so. You're going to be. just from a standill. >> That's absurd. Yeah. Jiren Jones is. doing it. The uh Pison running the. defense for Jacksonville got. >> Trevor Lawrence is obviously playing his. best ball. >> Oh yeah. >> Are the Jags for real? >> Yes indeed. >> You like them? I've never seen the look. on Trevor Lawrence's face. He's got it. now. Liam has done a great great job. with that offense and defensively.

they're playing they're playing balls. out. >> That's why these matchups like are so. fascinating. Like if it's Jags, Bills, how can you pick either side? >> It's it's one's got Josh Allen is what. you immediately say. But then it's like, well, have you watched Trevor though? They got 14 touchdowns, zero turnovers. over the last four games. It's like he's. rushing and throwing all over the place. The ball's in a good spot. One last good. D. I do believe. >> Absolutely. Ransom. Talk about a full. circle moment. This is a big time. This. is a big time game interception. And if. you remember last week against the.

Saints in a huge game, huge moment. He. gets the penalty on the quarterback and. makes the field goal much shorter. And. now it's the flip side of it. Make a big. time play against Baker Mayfield and. Mike Evans. Mike Evans. Baker on the. wrong page. Scramble drill. Evans goes. right. Lansom goes Lantham goes left and. makes a big time interception. Great job. for the young player. >> Yeah. So Baker and Mike Evans this uh. zigzag situation. BA. >> Yeah. I mean Mike I think Mike's. expecting Baker to roll back right. So. he's going to retrace and go back to the.

right. Baker I think Baker loses sight. right here when he ducks and game over. >> Panthers run the NFC South. Bruce. >> is bummed out. The Panthers run the NFC. South B. >> Yes they are. But they got to play. again. And the Panthers got to play the. Seahawks. We got to beat the Dolphins. >> What was that? What are you saying? What. are you saying? Sounds. >> I think it'll be tied when we go into. week eight. Week 18. >> Yeah, I don't even think it matters. I. think if either way it's week 18 like.

next week is kind of just like hey. >> Steelers. >> Yeah. >> Week 18's for for the division. >> Where's it at? Where's the game at? >> It is at Tampa. >> down there. in that pirate ship. >> Canals goes home. >> You guys still doing the pirate ship? >> He only lived there six months, bro. way. home. [laughter]. >> Good house though. I You guys had a good. time down there. Is the pirate ship. still down there shooting off cannons or. something? >> It is awesome. Yeah, I had my grandsons. on it a couple weeks ago. >> How is How is Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan.

base? >> Oh, you talk about there's a great on on. Amazon Prime right now. 50 Years of the. Bucks, Raise the Flags. It's a great. documentary going back to those shitty. years I forgot about uh when we did the. quiz and uh all the way to drug Doug. Williams then Cobra House not want to. pay Doug Williams $200,000. >> Doug left and then there was a Doug. Williams curse for all those years. >> Oh no. >> It's uh it's a great documentary. Trent. Cooper did a hell of a job.

>> It's on Amazon Prime. What's it called? Raise the flags. >> Raise the flags. >> 50 years of Bucks football. >> 10 10 episodes. >> All right. Can't wait to watch it. You're a part of it. >> the last 8 n 10 maybe? >> Yeah. >> 10 episodes. You're a part of the last. 8, nine, 10. >> Yeah, I think so. >> Okay. So, you're part of the whole. season? [laughter]. >> Uh, well, you went through John McKay. and all the Tony Dungeon all the way up. to me and. >> Oh, you're saying episodes 9 10 not 8 n. or 10 episodes. Got it. Okay. That was a. mismication on our side. We got to get. on the same page. That's on me, not on.

you. So, you're in episodes 8, 9, and 10. whenever we're raising the flags. >> Yes. >> Good for you. I thought that was an ode. to Allstar. I was like, "Wow, good for. you.". >> Yeah, I love that Allstar's been here, too. I apologize. Uh, we got some bad D. >> Yeah, we got a couple players. >> Guess who's back. >> Bad D, man. I hate to see it. Been. historically bad this year. I think top. five in all the wrong categories for. Flu's defense. Now, you got Lag coming. over in motion. You got cover two. Running back to the very beginning, Foxy. So, starts with a pre- snap. disguise showing single high and then. rotating post snap to cover two. Now,

this deep safety is going to be in the. bind. the left deep safety down here. near the hatch going to be in a bind. because he has number two streaming. right at him vertical and then you got. Lad who's outside number one and. Trarevon Diggs he's a flat defender kind. of carrying that uh vertical so it looks. like he's just getting beat around by. he's really an underneath defender he's. kind of in the position he should be in. but just a great play design great. execution by the Chargers and just bad. positioning by the Cowboys with that. late disguise. >> their ass I don't like it okay Dallas.

Cowboys once again disappoint season. Yeah. Is Travant Diggs maybe still. concussed from mounting that TV on his. own? That's why you missed a bunch of. times. That's what he said. >> That's what he said. >> I'll tell you though, sometimes when. you're trying to put it. >> on uh on the the thing, >> it's hard to get it up to get the latch. >> or be on on a on the [ __ ] ceiling. Have you mounted your TV like that. >> on a ceiling? >> It looked like he needed to mount his TV. straight into like the support beams of. his house. So, I don't know if it was.

like a 55,000lb TV or what, but it was. an odd place to mount it. So, I could. see if that thing hit him in the head. why you would miss four or five. >> Significant time, especially if it. catches you with the edge. >> Exactly. >> Cuz then it's a little bit of a sting. >> Was he concussed by the TV? >> Yeah. That was a report. Yeah. And we're. bulling for him and the TV, I guess. We. don't know what happened to the TV. >> The TV looked very expensive. So, >> TV looked okay. >> Some of you want to know, says Jane. Slater, how Travon Diggs got concussed. It was never that crazy, but the lack of. answers made it sound like it was. It. certainly was crazy. He says a TV he was trying to install.

from the ceiling with the pool mount. fell on his head. So, I was trying to be. a handyman. He didn't think it was a big. deal and didn't need to be addressed, but speculation on the internet won't. wait too far. He said he uh had some. good plays today, but was still. adjusting the game speed on if he. thought this may be his last game at. AT&T. Yeah, he says he wants to be here, but said they will discuss his future at. the end of his season on the McConkey. TD. Cover two, cover two. Listen, I'm. supposed to have a little bit of help. here. Okay, how about a little bit of. respect? Also on that note, uh Jane, it. is pretty crazy that TV is knocking out. a starting corner for the Dallas. Cowboys. You know, I appreciate him.

saying, "I could do this myself, though. I don't want to [ __ ] pay somebody a. couple hundred bucks. They're going to. rob me to do this. This is easy job.". >> Do you appreciate that? >> I do. I like him looking in the mirror. and say, "We could [ __ ] put this TV. up. I We don't need to waste any money. paying somebody." And he goes and does. it. Now, on that note, was that thing. ever going to be flat? Never. >> No. >> Was that thing ever going to be properly. in there? Absolutely not. Did he look. for the stud before? They do any of that? We don't know. Okay. He was trying to be a handyman. You probably watch some YouTube videos. What they don't show you in YouTube is. that [ __ ] gravity works. Gravity is.

still doing it thing. >> There it is. >> Yeah. It's I appreciate him trying to be. a handyman. >> Oh, >> and uh. >> Jeez. [snorts]. >> Yeah. I mean, this is what happens. >> I mean, we're not talking just your. run-of-the-mill 55 in TV that he. certainly could put up. I mean, this. thing is [ __ ] 200 in. What What is he. thinking he was going to do on his own? >> Shout out Santa. Yeah. >> Yeah. Not a bad movie. obviously need to. see it, especially this time of year on. the biggest screen you can get. >> But uh boy, >> people always say like, "Hey, when you. get rich, you get lazy, you get weak,

and then people take advantage of you.". And Trevon Digs is like, "I I can. [ __ ] put this up." Look, couple of these, couple of those. You. just need to make sure you find a stud. up. I I think that's probably the issue. That thing might have been on somewhere. else. And. how's it look? Yeah. >> Geek Squad in there. Get on thumbtack. I. mean, come on. What are we doing? >> Yeah. And listen, Siobhan, you can act. like you're a part of it. You can look. at them while they're doing it. >> Yeah. Or like move it. Move it to a. little bit. Okay, that's good. >> With Starfinder.

>> Yeah. Be the foreman. >> Yeah. And then even download the um the. laser balance on your phone so you can. act like you're actually doing. something. >> That looks like it's a little bit off, don't you think? >> Certainly [laughter] do that. You've. earned that, dude. Way to go. With all. your football abilities, you have earned. the right to watch another [ __ ]. hang your TV. That is way too big. >> So big. >> Congratulations, man. We're proud of you. for that. >> Glad he's back [applause] out there. >> Glad he's back out there. Now, people. are saying, "Is he actually out there or. what is.

>> is he still in bad Santa?" We don't. We're not 100% sure. We hope to see him. play great football again. And it looks. like we're about to see some more bad. football. >> Uh depends on how you look at it. Depends on who you're a fan of. Some. great footballs, some great offense. here. Overtime here. 16 16. >> Half I didn't know Halfley's team WAS. >> DON'T DO THAT. His [ __ ] fault. >> I didn't know Halfley was showing up on. bad. >> [ __ ] 16-3 with five minutes left in. the goddamn game. The Packers defense. was phenomenal all night long. Now I. mean he's good offense. We Ben Johnson.

He's a bell ball for a reason. >> Is this everything D good D bad? What is. this right here? >> This is bad de. heartbreaker. >> This is first and 10 in the alumni. section. And I love this from Ben. Johnson and Caleb just going for the. absolute juggler just like BA did on. Mary Quizmas earlier in the game. But. this is late in the game. Last play DJ. Moore all the way across the field. Unbelievable catch. I mean pretty damn. good coverage. We had uh Patrick Certain. on here last week who was quarters. coverage, outside leverage. I believe.

this is if you run it back. I believe. this is quarters coverage, too. The. safety is just very aggressive in the. run game. 13 personnel. Everything looks. like a run. Good play action from Caleb. Williams aka Ice Man. And then you step. up in a pocket and make an unbelievable. throw in this type of, you know, weather. Weather wasn't terrible, but. you're in Chicago in December. It's a. big time throw. Damn near 60 yards in. the air. And DJ Moore, unbelievable. concentration. Great catch with Nixon. all over him. >> How would you uh describe Caleb. Williams's arm?

>> Uh, elite. >> Okay. Elite. I don't know if you want to. say a big old hose. >> Yeah. >> Say big arm. >> He has a [snorts] big hose. >> I say a big arm for sure. I would say. >> what do they call big arm? >> She's a big fat hose. >> I definitely would I definitely would. not say that. I would say generational. arm talent. >> Generational host. [laughter]. >> Look out talent. Move over Sins. He. wants to get a great play call. You run. it back to beginning against quarters. coverage. You got both safeties kind of.

involved in the run game. So they're. tight. And even with uh when Nixon had. the interception last time, these teams. kind of [ __ ] always comes back full. circle quarterback. Obviously, he's on. the opposite side of it now, but they. kind of blew that coverage and Keshan. just kind of fell into the right place. and made a great play. This was a great. job by him, but sometimes it just. happens like that. Nixon's been tough. for him, but it's been great for the ice. man and DJ Moore over there. >> It's crazy. The Packers are now on bad. D. What does the future look like? Who. knows? Couple injuries, couple lost. games, everything starts going sideways.

Hey, >> that's life in sports. Entry or shame. >> Well said. Well said. I I hadn't thought. of that, but you're right. >> It is life. That is what it's like, Coach Ba. We appreciate you, brother. >> Mary, [applause]. >> thank you. Well, good job, buddy. >> Hell yeah. >> Completely defeated in Mary uh Quizby. >> I gave I gave him my all. >> He did get second place. That's a good. call, AJ. That's a very positive way. Look at first place, though. Obviously, Coach Ba, >> not your NFL uh vet, Dar.

>> Merry Christmas, everybody. Safe travels. to Merry Christmas. Uh I believe we're. back tomorrow, right? >> Yeah. thought so. I was hoping everybody. thought that. >> Yep. >> Because in my head, we were definitely. doing a show tomorrow, but I didn't know. what I had told you guys weeks ago. whether or not we're doing a show or. not. So, I didn't know there in the. moment. In my head, we got a show. tomorrow. Then, if you guys would have. said, I would have been like, but. instead, you're going to run bowl games. or something because that is the time of. year we're in. >> Yes. >> Like New Year's Eve for instance,

obviously, uh there's a bunch of games, so we will not be live. We will be. traveling, I do believe, at that exact. time because I think Iowa is actually. playing on New Year's Eve at noon. Correct. >> Uh New Year's Day is Rose Bowl day, college game day. We'll be there for a. field pass for Indiana and Alabama. So, you know, Christmas will be off, I. believe. Uh Boxing Day, we will be off. as well because there's a lot of things. on TV. So, hope everybody enjoys their. lives. But tomorrow, we'll be back with. Christmas Eve. We'll have a couple uh. we'll say spirited segments tomorrow,

you know. about who is Sam's favorite helper this. year, [snorts]. >> who's on a naughty list, who's on a nice. list in the sports world. You know, we. got to break that all down as we. celebrate Jesus Christ being born over. in Nazareth in a barn. >> That's right. Well said. >> to a lady. >> Mary. >> and. >> Big Joe. >> Big Joe, be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice. It might change their life. We're. in this thing together. >> We don't have to go to church now.

Wednesday night, I heard's a big one. >> It is. >> Midnight mass is awesome, actually. >> Okay. So, that'll be Wednesday night, right? >> Yes. >> Walking in a Colts game. E uh Jesus. Christ E for the Colts. >> Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. >> You know, bold Eric Eric Simpson. Eric. Eric Simpson. Good guy. Okay. Eric. Simpson is a great man. >> Great guy. >> Eric Simpson has had to sit through a. lot of me asking a lot of questions. Okay. And he has sat in the pocket and. I'd like to let him know I appreciate. the hell out of him. He was going to be. the guy that was actually going to do uh.

me and Sam's wedding. End up being Bob. Cavoyan obviously from Bob and Tom show. So I said, but like great relationship. with E. He also threw me a lot. Last. night I saw him and I'm like, hey, pretty big time of year, right? Pretty. because he's pastor or whatever. He. goes, Wednesday night, you should come. by. And I actually was like, you know, my extra stuff. This is. >> Did he give you the paper the notes from. chapel? >> Usually when I see him, he he gives me. the rundown chapel. >> He knows I'm not a notes guy. I want to. hear it. I want to hear the delivery, you know, cuz he'll do uh a man of the. cloth. I believe uh because Jesus Christ.

washed people's feet. I believe that was. one of the story lines. Damn right. >> I like to hear the way these stories. that have been told a lot of times are. delivered by the preacher or the pastor. I think that's what separates obviously. who is supposed to be doing it, who's. not supposed to be doing it. E good man. He's got a big show Wednesday night. though. Yep. >> I told him that. I said, "Holy [ __ ]. dude. Big one coming up. This is it. This is the Super Bowl, right?" He's. like, "Well, actually Easter, we also. Yeah. Yeah. We got a whole thing." I was. like, "Oh, I don't I just heard about. Yonapore. >> I just heard about I I thought Hanukkah. was the one. I just heard about it all.".

So, I hope everybody's happy, but merry. Christmas and uh we appreciate you all. for allowing us to do this for a living. We're back tomorrow. BA, anything uh. before we get out of here? >> Great show. Better next week. >> Hell yeah. How about you, AQ? >> Merry Christmas to all. >> and to all. >> a good night. >> Okay, it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so obviously we hope you have a great. rest of your afternoon as well and later. evening and night. Debut, anything uh. before we go? >> Enjoy your Quanza. Happy Quanza. >> Hell yeah. That's a celebration I. believe big time fruits. I believe it's. a lot of fruits out there. I actually. ended up in a Quanza celebration one.

time. I didn't know I was going to be. there. We were having a blast though. I. was trying to get some fruit. They were. having a celebration. We're in there. Happy Quanza. When is it? >> Starts the day after Christmas. First. day is unity. It's about unity. >> Boxing day. We talked. >> Yeah. Mhm.
