Hello beautiful people. and welcome to our humble the boat the. draft kings [music] thundome on the. let's go camp in Tuesday July 20th 2026. this program begins now.

>> FOOTBALL. >> PLAY IT IS happening in front of our. faces and the boys weren't certainly all. on the same beat but what we will say is. we are going to feel the beat today is. we're going to go camping we're going to. stop by training camps from one side of. this country to the other as all 32. teams teams have reported to their. respective training camps. All 32 teams. now are on the road to the Lombardi in. Los Angeles, California on ESPN February. 14th. Who is going to get to the Super. Bowl? Who is going to walk away from.

this particular season happy as the. other 31 teams are going to be bummed. out? Now, there's going to be a lot of. grit. There's going to be a lot of. grind. There's going to be a lot of. sandpaper in these training camps. There's going to be a lot of stories. that aren't really stories, but we're. going to make stories because there are. no other stories. There's going to be a. lot of injuries popping up. There's. going to be a lot of hold outs taking. place. There's going to be contract. disputes. And there's going to be people. requesting trades. >> Yes, there is. >> What? >> Big handsome moose. >> Why?

>> Big legend, big stud, big Super Bowl. champion for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Vita Vea has requested a trade away from. the Bucks. He and Baker Mayfield. obviously had contract conversations. going into training camp. Who was going. to get paid? How were they going to be. able to handle it all? Who was going to. get the money? And Vive said, "I'm done. with it." V said, "Get me out of here.". >> Crazy. >> Are the Los Angeles Rams going to make a. play for Vea to add to that defensive. lineman filled with Avengers and Marvel. characters. Vea would certainly be. another one. This dude was a kick.

returner in high school. [laughter]. >> Yeah, >> this dude was a kick returner and a. running back in high school. Obviously, he played defense as well. Go ahead and. give it to Va. He is 6'1, 345 lbs, and. runs a 4540. In high school, we like to. call that unstoppable. Veta is an absolute monster, a beast, a. person is beloved. But obviously, we. believe he's somebody that could come to. our team and make our team better. Why. don't you come to the Colts? Deorest. Buckner's cleared. >> Yeah, >> he's been out anytime he doesn't play. for the Indianapolis Colts, we lose. Deorest Buckner back. Leatu Latu is.

obviously back. We bring in Vay. All of. a sudden, we're starting to singing uh. uh championship uh dances and jingles. Every team's thinking that. Yeah. What. will the trade actually be for? He's 31. years old. A lot of people are going to. hold that over his head. Obviously, a. contract has to take place. So, who will. be able to match whatever Tampa Bay is. looking for? We'll visit with Rick. Straoud in about 5 minutes or so as. we're going to go camping around the NFL. to get a little closer to the action. The toxic table's here at Boston. Oh, >> that's a compliment. >> Boston Conor's not here, obviously. >> No,

>> we love Conman. We love that con man. found love with Natalie. We do. appreciate that he's celebrating his. love currently, but sitting in his spot. at the top of the table, AP Town looking. good over there. >> Thank you. I appreciate that. The. lighting over here is very, very nice. Uh I sat down, I felt like Samuel. Jackson when he sat down at Des Dennis. Ned's desk uh in Jurassic Park, but. other than that, it's been pretty good. >> I'm pretty pumped for you to be able to. pull that out, whip that out. We do know. you're a big Jurassic Park fan. Just. want to let people know that you still. are. >> Rest in peace, Sam. >> Rest in peace. I think I do believe at. Tai Schmidt Green Bay Packer sweatshirt.

Obviously, we'll be visiting with the. Packers Schneiderman as well as we go. camping. But Vtoa on the move. Obviously, Puka is showing up. Contract. disputes still taking place. Some. injuries are going to have uh pop up. here because there's physicals taking. place. It's a great time for an NFL fan. right now is everybody's zero and zero. Everybody's undefeated. Everybody's team. potentially going to go on a run, but. all eyes are on the Los Angeles Rams. throughout the entirety of it. >> Yeah, but like you mentioned, you know, you're saying, "Hey, Vega, he'd look. great in a Indianapolis Colts uniform.". I mean, it was almost exactly a year ago. today that the Packers traded for Micah.

Parson. So, and and they don't do that. kind of stuff ever. So, if you're one of. these other teams that's sitting out. there and you hear that VA is available, don't lose faith. There's a chance. There is a chance. There's a prayer. There's a hope he could get traded to. your favorite team. It happened to me. last year and boy, what what a year it. was. >> Michael Parsons coming to the Green Bay. Packers changes everything for the Green. Bay Packers. Becomes potential defensive. MVP. Gets hurt, then he guy's going to. shooter. >> Yeah, exactly. Yeah. >> Yeah. That's kind of the story of the. game. And that's why whenever these. early training camp injuries come. around, you can't help but go, "Damn,

sorry to hear that." You kind of get you. kind of get off track before you even. get started on this road to Los Angeles. Uh, nine-year NFL vet Darius J. But. Berserk, I see you take the Pittsburgh Steeler. helmet off the table there as you're. sitting there and move Yukon Husky one. on there. We obviously appreciate the. state of Connecticut a lot. Might be. visiting there very, very soon, of. course. Yeah. To get back up in there. I. heard it's good whenever the weather is. not -20. You know, every time we've been. there over the last couple months, >> beautiful. Pretty nice. >> It's been fantastic. >> Trying to find people that love ball up. there. You know, it's a it's an.

incredible New England summers, baby. >> They're all over. Football, basketball, lacrosse, I mean, any type of ball. >> Rowing. Yeah. No ball there, but they're. certainly hard. You're getting into a. training camp though. Uh, whenever you. hear about all 32 teams being in camp, what does your mind immediately go to? Can I tell you what I do every single. week? Absolutely. >> I found myself getting more active here. >> You know, wake up in the morning, a. little more committed to the workout. I. think our bodies are just kind of like. trained like, hey, it's about time to. not be a fat ass anymore. It's about. time to start getting active. For you, Debb, what are your thoughts as we.

launch NFL training camps into the. Sunday? >> I mean, you talked about it earlier when. we came in with our football. You know, we've been saying sports for a long. time, covering other sports, talking. other sports, which are important, which. we love, but football is our bread and. butter. This is what we look to, you. know, year round. We can't wait for this. time of year now. All 32 teams are back. And just like us been offbeat, a lot of. these teams will be offbeat. when you. build that foundation of a team, regardless of how many, you know, starters or coaches or people you have. coming back, it's a brand new team every. time you show up to training camp every.

year. So, um, I'm excited for what's. what's to come. It's a lot of surprises. every year, year in out, not only in. training camp, but as the season plays. out, but I can't wait to see how things. get sorted out. We got Vita Veil, you. mentioned it, that's the biggest name. right now who asks for a trade. Honestly, I hope I hope everything gets. worked out at Tampa. We'll find out more. from Rick, but uh I feel like he should. be a one helmet guy. He's been a legend. Um I'm excited to see how that works out. in the rest of these contract disputes. around the league. >> Anytime you request a trade publicly, you could be potentially utilizing a.

little bit of leverage, you know, because all of a sudden Tampa Bay finds. out how many people are interested. You. can kind of also get a sense of what the. market is on what he should be paid, who's willing to pay, how many people. are potentially going to step up and do. that for 31-year-old Vivea. Tampa Bay. can learn that as well, you know. So. this is a public leverage position by VA. which we respect. We got a lot of teams. fan base is excited. I think everybody. also understands this ain't a first or. second rounder. You know I think a lot. of teams think like hey. >> feels like we could get Vea. Now the. deal that you're going to have to. negotiate with VVEA is certainly the big.

conversation piece that's looming which. is why this is taking place. But if Vea. ends up on one of these teams we're. immediately going to think oh they've. done it. They've won the Super Bowl. If. he goes to the Los Angeles Rams and we. got Aaron Donald and Vita Vea in the. middle of that D line. >> commissioner should veto that if that. were somehow to happen like I'm talking. Chris Paul to the Lakers not doing it. >> just think about Matthew Stafford MV. current reigning MVP is under center and. then in the back field what do you have. Aaron Donald leading for VA.

>> and then Miles Garrett like what what do. do you have him back and just have the. full. >> sorry. >> fire sergeant. >> sorry about that. >> sorry about break some change there. But. if you have Miles Garrett, Aaron Donald, Vea. >> running the wishbone, >> Matthew Stafford right here, >> the package basically, >> you know, the the the. >> Oh, what was it called? The tush push. >> Yeah. >> Are we still calling it that? Is that Is. that. >> It's still around. >> It is still around. >> One guy that can stop it. >> Wasn't as successful.

>> without Jason Kelsey. But Josh Allen. figured out a way because they're doing. a lead. I mean, you get all these. massive. >> behemoths in one place. You assume. they're going to be able to pick up a. yard. >> You would think so. I don't anywhere but the Rams I think. with Vtoa agree. Now granted the. expectation on the Rams pre Vtoa or. potential with VVEA is that they got to. win a Super Bowl. Listen how we're. speaking right now. We're talking like. they aren't humans. We're talking like. they're an actual video game where. they're going to show up and they might. cuz they got that trailer that aortal. thing that they plug into. >> like Jacob Sully getting into Avatar.

They hop in there. Matthew Stafford. comes back with the perfect back wins an. MVP for the first time ever. So they're. all going to be plugged in obviously. So, we assume they're going to be. healthy. But here's what Shawn McVey. thinks about everybody's outside. expectations on the team that he and. Lesie have put together thus far. >> I think you acknowledge it, but you also. talk about that that doesn't do. anything. Let's be inside out. I think. what's great is that people care about. this game and and you guys have jobs to. do and we respect that. But I reflect I. respectfully say that your guys opinions. doesn't mean to us. [laughter].

>> I respectfully say this, okay, he's at a. community America. I respectfully say. this like you guys are paid to have. opinions and we like how much you guys. give opinions and how much people like. your opinions for us. We no offense. I. just want to let you know this is no. offense. No offense is allowed to be. taken here when I say this. >> None of you matter at all. Okay? Nothing. you have ever said matters. That's the. right messaging from McVey. But once. again, such a young head coach. Yep. Has. such a great leadership style. Like him. talking about Puka Nakua this entire off.

seasonason and obviously Miles Garrett. and then his relationship with Aaron. Donald where he's like first Aaron. Donald is an incredible son. He's an. incredible this. It's like he has it. all. When everybody was trying to find. the next McVey, I think they were trying. to uh kind of dismiss everything that. McVey is as a leader, as a uh I think. he's a vibes guy. I think every day he's. the same. And obviously he's an absolute. wizard whenever it comes to offensive. play calling. So I think he's a special. talent. We're lucky to have him as a. head coach even if he is 27 years old. still. So. >> yeah and the expectations obviously are.

uh skyhigh as they should be. And a lot. of people are comparing or talking about. the times you know when that Eagles when. they kind of put together that quote. unquote dream team. But this this is. different. You got a reigning MVP. You. got Stafford who's been one of the best. throwers of the ball since he stepped. foot in the National Football League. And the same with Miles Garrett. He's a. generational pass rusher. So those are. the kind of foundational pieces of this. team. So yeah, I see the expectations. They are what they are and they should. be. And I like uh how Shawn McVey is. speaking because you know how you know. the head coach has always got to knock.

you down a little bit, especially head. into training camp. >> And remember anytime the coach is. speaking publicly, he's also talking to. the locker room. Absolutely. That is a. conversation to the locker room. Hey, we. do not care what these people say. And. then the players go, okay, and we're. allowed to say that we don't give a. about your opinions. And also this is a. message that he is sending to all of us. as we go in here. We got to earn it. They know they got to earn it. But. anytime you're going all in, which. they've done before, the expectations. are to win, especially in Los Angeles, especially in their own stadium. I I. mean, so they understand it and they got. guys that have done it. Now, Va heading. to the Rams would be absurd, but this is.

kind of what happens. Remember, Patriots. would always get somebody. Chief started. getting somebody, you know, now are the. Rams going to become that ring chasing. big go allin team forever potentially, especially if they got something to. sell. What is DraftKings and the odds. saying about where he's potentially. headed? So they haven't put out odds. yet, but we were talking about it this. morning. Like if you're let's say if. you're the Cardinals, the Jets, the. Raiders, like teams that are currently. like in a rebuild. I don't I don't. expect to get veto. You and I were. talking about it like if him being 31. years old, him looking for a new. contract. These are teams like that are. ready right now to win the Super Bowl.

So like we talked about the Rams. Yes. Seahawks, Niners, like that whole. division. I could see it. Patriots I. could definitely see do it and like the. Bengals before they got sexy. Dexi, that. would be a team like that would fit. this. Ravens even like teams that are. ready to win right now is who you would. expect to go out and try to get veto. >> Ted Wen uh reports that from a source he. wants to go to California team. >> Chargers would make sense too. >> He wants to go to California team. Now I. think Jim Harbaugh would love V. >> Oh yeah. >> I mean Jim Harbaugh talking about VA. would be sweet. McDaniels on the. offensive side using VVA would also be.

sweet. So maybe it's the Chargers, maybe. it's the Rams, >> maybe it's the Niners. >> They could use DT help. Maybe it's the. ners, right? Cuz anytime they have. injury across the D line, whole team. looks different. You know, it's like. that is kind of how they've been knocked. down. Injuries in abundance, which is. why they're looking into that electro. super duper. >> Yeah, the substation. >> They're saying it already started again. >> Couple other guys are already up. >> Yeah, it looked like there was a long. list of people already. But hey, remember G days are happening here in. training camp. They got a veteran team.

and everything. So, you never know who's. just getting rest, who needs it, who. doesn't need it, who needs a ramp up, who's actually injured. There's a lot of. gamesmanship taking place. You know, we. don't know enough though, do we? >> No. >> No. >> I've been reading that all over the. internet. >> No. Boots on the ground. >> Well, that's kind of the problem, right? It's hard because we're in Indianapolis, Indiana. Lucky to be here. Thankful to. be here. But we can't know everything. happening everywhere. >> Uhuh. >> So, that's why every once in a while we. like to feel the beat. But in this. particular case, >> let's go camping, SHALL WE? >> [applause].

>> WE HOLD YOU IN OUR HEARTS and when we. think about you, >> it makes me want to fart. >> No, it's this thing came apart. >> That's exactly what I was going to say. >> You know it. >> No, but that's what I was going to say. Salute your shorts. You're a big fan. >> Salute your shorts right after. >> Come on. You love donkey lips. >> Now you guys make up. >> Campana. >> All right, this ain't it. Let's go. camping. Okay, let's go camping. movie. or a TV show? >> TV show. >> It was good. >> Nickelodeon classic. >> Dude, it was good. It was a good show.

>> You'd like Bobby Budnick. >> Hold on. We don't We're already wasting. We don't have enough time. Ladies and. gentlemen, uh Bucks Pete reporter for. the Tampa Bay Times, host of the Sports. Day Tampa Bay podcast. Uh players coach, uh co-rote players coach with Tom Moore, obviously living legend, and a guy who's. been covering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. for a hundred years. Uh ladies and. gentlemen, Rick Stout. [applause]. >> Rick Stout, good jawline. You look. incredible heading into uh training. camp. Feels like VA requesting a trade. uh is huge news around the rest of the.

NFL for you guys down boots on the. ground or with the team. Did this come. out of nowhere? How likely was this to. take place? And what inevitably happened. you think Rick? >> Yeah. No, I think it was a surprise. I. mean, he was going to be a deal that. might be a little harder to do just. because he's 31 years old. He still has. a year left on his contract, but he's. he's underpaid Pat, you know, based on. the his production in the league. Um, you know, he's probably about 17th. And. to get him in the top 10, you probably. got to average about $25 million a year.

Um, but they didn't get close. And and I. got to be honest with you, man, it's one. thing to say, you know, I'm unhappy with. my contract. Maybe I'm going to hold out. or hold in. But this guy went straight. to I want to be traded. And that that's. a different situation, I think. U and. it's going to resonate inside that. locker room, not in a positive way. Obviously, his teammates are going to be. disappointed. This is a fundamental. piece of this defense, of this. franchise. He's done a lot of great. things without much help at times. And. for him to say he wants out. Um that's.

that's a big step. I don't know how it. ends. U you know, we we're still a ways. to go. He's going to report to training. camp or has reported from what I. understand. Um, so he won't be fined. $50,000 a day. But, uh, I don't know if. there really any other talks scheduled. Don't know how far apart they were, but. this is this is one that would impact. the Bucks defense as much as any player. right now that they could take off of. it. >> Okay. Obviously, huge name, huge story. in Tampa Bay across the rest of the. league as well. Vea beloved I believe in. the locker room as well, right? Is he.

everybody that's come on that we've. asked about Vea, they love him. I think. he talks everybody. I think. everybody respects and appreciates him. as well. Is this a new era? Because we. just saw that you reported that Baker. Mayfield was not able to get a deal done. with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So, they. will halt negotiation and uh contract. negotiations for the rest of the season. There was a timeline that Baker. Mayfield's people put on. Don't want to. go into camp worrying about this. So, Va. wants a trade. Baker's not able to get a. deal done. Mike Evans is gone. Levante. David is gone. Go ahead, Tone.

>> Yeah, that you just talked about all. four of those guys. All four of those. guys are captains. Like Levante was a. captain for 10 plus years, Mike Evans. another 10 plus year guy and then Baker. I you assume he will be there but a. captain and then and then Vita captain. like what is what are the vibes going. into camp this year? Are they are they. down in the building or is this just. like a fan-based internet thing where it. seems like the vibes might be down a bit. in Tampa? >> Well, I think anytime this happens it's. going to affect the culture of your. locker room, right? Because you want to. see players that that produce get. rewarded. Um again, we don't have both.

sides of the story. We don't know what. kind of money either of these players. were seeking. Uh, in the case of Baker. Mayfield, I would never bet against a. guy that walked on at Texas Tech, walked. on at Oklahoma, won the Heisman Trophy, was the first overall pick, uh, took a. $4 million make it deal and and did what. he's done here in Tampa Bay. I mean, he. wants this to be his forever home, whether he stays here as a player or. not. Um, this community loves him. I. think the team loves him. But is it. unlikely that Baker would bet on.

himself? No. That's who this dude is, man. Like, you back him in a corner and. and I think the danger would be he goes. out there, has an unbelievable year. Yeah, you could use a franchise tag with. his all kind of ramifications with dead. money with that. Um, but what if he. says, "You know what? You didn't believe. in me before this season and Matthew. Stafford's retired and I want to go to. the LA Rams." Um, you know, there's a. lot of things that can happen in the. next uh, you know, 6 to 8 months. So, we'll see. But, he set that deadline and. he's he's apparently sticking to it. Uh,

from what I understand, they weren't. very close on a on an agreement. So, Baker will play out his final year in. Tampa and then we'll see what happens. >> Throwing a lot of touchdowns to Mike. Evans in this highlight clip. Obviously, going to have to replace that as well. That's a huge story cuz maybe they are. moving on to what the next iteration of. the Bucks have to be or this is all just. a part of the business mumbo jumbo. Now, you talk about business especially in. the NFL. You win a Super Bowl, but how. long do you have? Ty has the last. question for you here. Strat. >> Yeah, Rick. Yeah, there were parts of. last year where it seemed like Todd BS.

was kind of on the hot seat. We saw one. of those press conferences where he was, you know, expletive lad and dropped a. bunch of fbombs. He never does that kind. of stuff. And then obviously the way the. season ended, do you get the sense that. he's maybe kind of on the hot seat going. into this year? And then also, what. about Jason Light? >> I think every coach is, if you're not. named Andy Reid or maybe Kyle Shanahan. or Shawn McVey, um they're all on the. hot seat, right? And and certainly Todd. is there too. Um they want to win Super. Bowls here. There's no secret about. that. Although he's in the first year of.

what was a three-year contract extension. this season, but you have to win. And I. think you just look at what he did. You. know, defensively, they were really bad. last year. They went out and did a lot. of things on defense, whether it was in. the draft with Ruben Bane, Josiah. Troder, um bringing in guys like Aan. Robinson. Um they're trying to fix this. defense and he's in charge of that. defense. It was not good last year. And. so you can't have five in one, six-2. starts and then collapse every season. So absolutely, he's on the hot seat. As. for Jason, I don't know. There's not. many GMs that have his resume right now.

with the Super Bowl win included. Um, but everybody's evaluated every single. year. And so, you know, this is a what. have you done for me lately business. I. think all those guys know that they have. to win and win right away. And that's. why they made so many changes. I mean, they made four coaching changes on. defense alone this off season. So, that'll tell you how Todd Balls feels. about his job security. >> All right. Well, we know your job. security is good forever. [laughter]. We appreciate the hell out of you, man. Thank you for joining us. That's Rick. Stride. [applause]. >> Rick Stroud is the host of Sports Day.

Tampa Bay. >> It's a good show. >> A lot going on right now down there. >> I bet you Rick Stroud's kind of in there. cooking. >> Oh, yeah. Definitely. >> It's not just Let's not just go to. Tampa, huh? Let's go camping. >> Let's go camping. >> Let's go camping. We need to go camping, don't we? Uh, let's head to Kansas City, ladies and gentlemen. Joining us now, ESPN Chiefs of Beat reporter and writer, Nate Taylor. >> How you doing, brother? >> I'm doing great, Pat. How you doing? >> Good. Just real quick, I'm going to say. something here just to kind of learn. You You let me know. Camp on. We hold.

you in our hearts and when we think. about you. >> Yeah. I'm I'm going to not be able to. finish that. >> Yeah. It's unfortunate. >> Learning a lot about Salute Your Shorts. >> Uhhuh. >> Might be a two American situation here, boy. [laughter]. >> I I I think I think we're ON TO. SOMETHING. YES, >> THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THAT MIGHT have.

been right. Um, >> how old are you. >> before before my generation? I'm I'm. going to be 39 in September. So, that's. right. >> That's the middle as well. Yeah. >> Yeah. Okay. Well, two Hey, let's let's. let's chalk it up to two Americas. [laughter]. >> Just saying. >> All right. Hey, by the way, there's a. great series. Waiting on. >> Yeah. >> Waiting on you guys out here. salute your short. I'm sure it holds up. >> It does hold up. Look it up. It's. unbelievable. All right, Nate, let's. talk about the Kansas City Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes being back. Obviously, the huge story. We see him rolling left. into his knee throwing. He looks good. Dr. David Chow, who runs um. >> uh sports, >> super medicine on the internet. >> Yeah, football doc. He said obviously. looks good. He's known as a quick. healer, but uh first week TBD, we'll see. where he's at. What is kind of the. messaging around you guys for where. Patrick Mahomes is in his healthwise and. what should we expect over the next. couple weeks of training camp? >> Yeah, Patrick Mahomes has looked as well.

as you could have hoped if you're the. Kansas City Chiefs and their fans in. these first couple days at training. camp. Now, he practiced on Saturday, Sunday, took yesterday off as a veteran. rest day, which has normally been the. case. And obviously, the full team will. have its first practice tomorrow up in. St. Joe at Missouri Western State. University. As you can see here, Patrick. Mahomes has done a lot of work in terms. of his rehab and his recovery to be able. to do a lot of these things that I think. was a question coming into training. camp. Can he operate under center? Can. he move within the pocket? Was he even.

going to be clear Pat to do 111 team. drills, which was not the case earlier. in the offseason? So, as much as you can. ask for Patrick Mahomes right now. without the pads on, let's see how it. goes over the course of this upcoming. week. But this is a positive sign. because this will be the first. repetitions in the entire offseason and. now entering training camp where we will. have Rashi Rice, he'll have Xavier. Worthy, Taekquin Thornton, obviously. Travis Kelce, and Kenneth Walker, their. biggest offseason acquisition. So for.

everything that we've seen right now, he. looks to be good. He looks to be in a. good place mentally. I think that's. something that people haven't maybe uh. talked about enough is that he's really. energized by being back on the practice. field, not being in the training room. 24/7, 365. He's now getting to a point. where, okay, I'm going to build timing. with my receivers. I'm going to build, you know, true bonding and chemistry. with my teammates and the coaching staff. in terms of how do we get the offense to. get back on track? And he even said on. Friday, he's got to get better at the.

default. The only way you do that, Pat, is you have a strong core and you got. your legs under you and your footwork is. proper and sound. So, that's what I'll. be looking at over the next couple days. as the Chiefs have their real first look. at what this offense might be like with. Patrick Mahomes trying to come back and. get ready for week one on September 14th. against the Denver Broncos. >> Hell yeah, Nate, you nailed that. Uh, whenever you talk about getting better. at the deep, having a dude, too also. helps. You know, that is something that. helps. But anytime we see Patrick. Mahomes on a football field, we're. pumped up about it. We're happy about.

it. I saw him on a dance floor and on a. stage. It looked like him and the lads. were having a great time. I'm telling. you, I I think that was one of my. biggest takeaways other than Brad Pitt. bringing me a Jack and Diet, which was. unbelievable. >> Massive [laughter] take. >> Yeah, that's a huge takeaway from the. entire thing. And shout out, I think. anything he does be and Bradley Cooper. so handsome is outrageous. But the dance. floor, which I did head to, >> the Chiefs were all I mean, it was. everybody. They were all in there. And. then Patrick Mahomes was right in the. middle of that thing. I mean, so. whenever you talk about Travis and. Patrick Mahomes being in the middle of.

it all, it's like that's great. Two guys. to be leading this entire thing and if. they got the dogs and the weapons and. they're overlooked, so they got chip on. their shoulder. I love it. You talked. about a Super Bowl MVP there though. that's been hard to find any clips of. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Nate, you did and I was looking. for clips of Kenneth Walker from camp so. far and it was hard to find any, but. Mahomes already said this year like he. need he realizes he needs to run less. Like he ran so much last year. Now with. Kenneth Walker, do we think Mahomes. that'll be less pressure off of him to. use his legs? And it was just was it.

just an offensive line thing with. Pacheco in the running game last year or. what do we think about the running game. coming in this year? >> Yeah, one of the things that you have to. realize about last year is that the. offensive line had injuries throughout. the course of the season, right? Even. Josh Simmons, the. >> dynamic left tackle who was a firstround. pick, he was absent from the team for. about a month. Um, and of course, Pacheco had his own struggles coming. back from his own leg injury in 2024. So, there were a number of factors. When. it comes to Kenneth Walker, though, at. least what we saw in the offseason. program, and again, we'll see him for. the first time in full tomorrow. He has.

the explosion, he has the vision, and. what the Chiefs like is that he can make. people miss in the second level of the. defense, right? The linebackers, the. safeties. That was something that the. Chiefs missed so much last year was not. only just explosive plays, but being. able to break tackles or evade defenders. who were coming at a certain angle where. it put more of the pressure on Mahomes. Now, a lot of teams last year, fellas, played man coverage against the Chiefs. on critical downs, which meant that. Patrick had to go through his own.

calculation in his mind, realizing that, okay, if no one's open against man. coverage, I got to get out of this. pocket and I got to go. And one of the. things I'll always remember, Pat, about. that opening night in Sa Paulo is that. he was running over defensive backs. He. was trying to get through linebackers to. make it a point that he was going to be. a tougher quarterback. he wasn't. necessarily going to use the sideline to. his advantage that we had seen in the. past. Well, now he's got to change that. mentality once again because of the ACL. and LCL surgery that he had on his left.

knee. He's going to have to rely on. handing the ball off to Kenneth Walker. And I think for the coaching staff, most. notably Andy Reid, the play caller, man, you got to find a way to get Patrick. Mahomes under center so that you can. have the true capability of a. traditional playaction drop back passing. game, right? That was something that the. Chiefs really weren't good at last year. It's something they really didn't. feature a lot in their offense. But if. you got a legitimate threat in Kenneth. Walker, well, now those linebackers and. those safeties have to respect that and. maybe now you can throw the ball over. the top to Xavier Worthy or maybe you.

can find openings for Travis Kelce in. the intermediate zone if the running. game is effective and you can set that. up for the play action pass. >> Yeah, play action obviously a great. weapon for a quarterback. Have to be. able to go under center if you want to. get the run game going allegedly. I. mean, every team that's ever won has. been able to do it. Shout out to Harold. Run pronounced for this video. I I have. learned that lesson publicly that kz. is coun. Of course. >> Sure. >> Of course it is. >> It could be something else though. [laughter] And uh that's just my natural.

brain. But coun all over it. Nate all. over it. And uh we appreciate the fact. that we just called out not having any. uh Kenneth Walker clips. He's not a. rookie, so he reports camp today. Not possible. That's on us for getting. upset about that. But I do appreciate. that Patrick Mahomes come out and said, "I gotta stop taking as many hits.". Because last year whenever we were down. at Texas Tech for College Game Day, he. walked up onto the set and I just Hey, listen, man. >> You and I [laughter] I don't really I. know you I'm I'm a fan. I I think I. think we could say you need to stop.

running. You need to stop getting the. hits that you're getting. And he told. me, "Well, if we need it, you know, the. offense needs it. We're going to keep. doing it." It's like, "No, you need to. stop, man. This for the good of. football, okay? For everybody. We need. you [laughter]. to stop getting hit for the good of. ball." And obviously he was a monster. through a lot. He was running over a lot. of people. I mean, he was giving them. out. I'm happy he has those on his. highlight reel for whenever he goes in. the Hall of Fame. Now, let's get back to. the magic. Let's get back to running. backwards 30 yards and then throwing it. as far as we possibly can to somebody. Let's get back to not getting killed.

every time I see you on TV. I'm happy. that's going to happen. Now, last. question. You bring in Kenneth Walker on. offense. On defense, though, lose a. couple. Dut has a last question for you, Nate. >> Yeah, Nate, part of his dynasty. Obviously, Mahomes has been great, but. uh defense has won has helped win some. of these championships. Who will you. think will be carrying I guess a heavier. load in the defense? It be a lot of guys. departing. Obviously, a lot of new. faces, even some familiar faces back. like Sneeed coming back. Who are some of. these guys that we expect, I guess, carrying more weight on that defensive. end this year? >> Yeah, I mean, once again, Chris Jones is.

going to have to be just an all-world. player at defensive tackle. Now, he. moves out to edge on third down. occasionally, but look, the Chiefs are. going through a youth movement yet. again. and something they did in 2022. with Trent McDuffy and Brian Cook and. Jaylen Watson. And I mentioned all those. guys because they're no longer here. The. those guys all got paid. They all went. elsewhere. Obviously, uh the Rams sought. out to have Trip McDuffy and make him. the top paid quarterback, at least for. now. Uh Jaylen Watson was their number. two quarterback. He's in Los Angeles as. well. Even Leo Chanel, who was probably.

their most versatile defensive player in. the in the linebacking core, he's in. Washington. So, look for these names. Now you got Mansor Delane who the Chiefs. moved up to six and they're basically. asking him hey you can be averse of Trip. McDuffy or you need to be slightly. better than Trip McDuffy who we know was. an allp pro player. You got Peter Woods. who I think might be their best pick in. the draft at 29. He was a defensive. tackle out of Clemson and for years. fellas we know Chris Jones is going to. get doubleteamed on third down. We know. that Steve Spagnolo is going to set up.

some blitzes where you use Chris Jones. as basically furniture to get somebody. open through a gap or two. Well, can we. have Peter Woods be able to win. one-on-one when you know Chris Jones is. going to take up much of that attention? The Chiefs are asking a lot out of R. Mason Thomas, a second round pick. He. might be a starter on opening night. between him and Ashton Gelotti in terms. of, hey, can you give us a speed element. off the edge that the Chiefs really. haven't had since Frank Clark? And. again, Frank Clark has been on the team. since what, 2022. Um, they're asking a.

lot out of these rookies. You know, you're going to have Nick Bolton. You. know, you're gonna have Chris Jones in. the mix. And Spags is going to obviously. dial it up with blitzes. But these young. guys got to be exactly what the draft. class was in 2022, which is durable, dynamic, and they're going to grow over. the course of the season so that they. can be ready when the Chiefs, if the. Chiefs make the postseason, so they can. be core contributors. But as of right. now, guys, the biggest question mark to. me is outside of Patrick Mahomes, how. does this defense deal, to be ready on.

opening night against Bo Knicks and the. Denver Broncos, who have a pretty good. offense themselves. >> We shall see. And not a bad defense for. Patrick Mahomes come back from Nico to. take on opening night. We we appreciate. you campa. we hold you in our hearts and when we. think about you. >> salute your shorts. >> there. Nailed it. Close enough. >> Yeah. Nate Taylor. [applause]. We're getting there. >> Song sucks. We don't stop.

>> It stink. >> It's an open to A IT'S A JINGLE. WHAT YOU MEAN? >> We had We grew up in the age of great. jingles. Which one? >> That one stink. [laughter]. >> We know the next guy probably watched. this show. >> Ladies and gentlemen, let's not just. stop in Tampa Bay and Kansas City. We. got to continue. Let's go camping, BOY. >> LET'S GO CAMPING. >> LET'S GO. LET'S GO TO UH ST. VINCENT. >> OH, >> let's go. Ladies and gentlemen, Pittsburgh Steelers reporter for the Pat. McAfee Show. You can find his writing on.

X. Might be the right answer for a lot. of local reporters. Nobody's gonna give. Kabali the credit for it. Ladies and. gentlemen, Mark Kaboli. >> Hey, Kab. >> How you doing? What's behind you there, Mr. Rogers? >> Rogers. >> I am in the I am in I don't know. I'm in. the Fred Rogers Center and it seemed. like a good place to set up camp here. So, uh I'm guessing it was from one of. his shows. I'm not quite sure. [laughter]. >> Okay. Well, we appreciate you having no. idea who the musician was that was.

there. I appreciate whatever I learned. that day. Uh Mr. Mr. Rogers. Neighborhood. >> Yeah, >> Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. >> Yep. >> Yes. [laughter] Absolutely. That Thank. you. Now, now we're talking. >> Okay. [laughter]. >> The cardigan on. >> All right. All right. >> Yeah. Switch out the shoe. Yeah. [laughter]. Yeah. Here we go. >> Here we go. Yeah. I know. Yeah. I. actually fig found that out I think last. year with training camp. >> Yeah. Great Pittsburgh man. Okay. Let's. talk about Pittsburgh men. Mike.

McCarthy, Aaron Rogers. Obviously, Omar. just spoke about how much he gets asked. about how much Mike McCarthy's a. Pittsburgh guy and how much he loves it. for the Steelers. Aaron came out and. said, "This is definitely my last year. I thought about retirement. I love Mike. I came back for Mike to do this here. So, potentially, you know, lead the way. for the next quarterback just like he. did for Jordan Love in there in Green. Bay, whether that is Allor or Will. Hired. What is the big story right now. Kabul's out of Pittsburgh?" Because it. feels like all kumbaya going into camp, does it not? First time, long time.

Yeah, I mean it's first time in 19 years. now that we've seen something different. up here at the training camp and it has. been totally different. I say the story. of the day is where the story of the. camp so far would be Mike McCarthy and. just how he has changed virtually. everything about this organization and. how they go about their business in such. a small portion of time. I mean, his. attention to detail, and I don't know, you guys probably knew this more than. me, but his attention to detail is just.

off the charts here. And that surprised. a lot of people. I think it surprised. some of the players. Definitely. surprised me. He's raring to go here. Like I said, he's changed everything. from the start of of practice to how. they go about practice of uh they're not. going to hit it all during training. camp, which has been a uh Steeler staple. for years now, but how McCarthy has just. taken over. And you could tell that he's.

a 16-year veteran in this business of. how quickly he's been able to uh get up. to speed and knowing what he wants to. do. and he's been very very impressive. to me. When he got hired here, a lot of. people in Pittsburgh were like saying, "What is what are they doing here?". Instantly, he won them over. And if. anybody comes out here the next three. weeks and watch him, I think they're. going to win him. He's going to win them. over even more because Mike McCarthy has. been very impressive so far.

>> So, I said this publicly and a lot of. people got mad that I was being asked. about this. I mean, I I don't know um. why I wouldn't be because why, but a lot. of people got mad that I said like, "Yes, the Steelers called me to ask me. about coach Mike McCarthy and what it. was like to work with him versus some. other guys and what it has been like.". And my big takeaway was just how. prepared Mike McCarthy was every single. week whenever he I mean, he showed up. with a list of that he wanted to. talk about every single week. He had. ideas. He was calling, checking in. He. was watching. It was like Mike McCarthy. was fully invested in our show, but he.

also had like 10 other things. He he was. also coaching his daughter. I believe. they won a national championship, I. think, out there. That's right. So, it's. like he he is just an a diligent. planner, you know, he's very intentional. with everything he does. And I do. believe, and this means no offense to. anybody. No offense to anybody. >> Exactly. >> Please, no offense to anybody, but when. you're a large human and you have a. Yinszer accent, I think the natural. reaction is like, "This guy big doofus.". Yeah. [laughter] You know, and I think a. lot of people.

>> No, we're talking about Coach McCarthy. Oh, okay. >> Talking about coach McCarthy, we're. talking about coach McCarthy. Yeah, no. offense. I said also tell anybody here. But I think that was like kind of a lot. of people's thought is like this guy's. like this. And our experience with him. was the complete opposite. I mean, it. was like notes. It was uh everything. So, I said that whenever, you know, I. was asked about it and then whenever he. gets hired, they're like, "Yeah, we did. call and ask it was." And I just thought. it was very impressive what he did. He. prepared more than any television person. I've ever seen. And it was like if. that's how he treats just like a once a.

week stop with us, I couldn't imagine. what he does with his actual career that. he understands. And oh yeah, he wins. games all the time. So it's like, can he. figure it out in Pittsburgh? They've. always had a good defense. Offense. seemingly been an issue. Health kind of. a thing. Attention to detail seemingly a. thing. It's like everything he brings. should lead to success quickly. And it. sounds like it's already kind of. settling in, especially with a. quarterback who's going to be all in. Now Tone has some questions for you, Mark. >> Yeah, Kabully. Kind of building off. that. TJ Watt came out today and he. said, I know I say this every year, but. it feels like this year we are actually. going to move around him, Herbig and.

Highmith. And then DK kind of came out. and said said something similar about. him moving around and how much better. the offense is going to be this year. Like you talk about like us as fans, how. we can see it with coach McCarthy. It. feels like the players as well have. already noticed um what's going on with. Coach McCarthy and maybe it feels like. they're excited for the change. >> Yeah, absolutely. That's what you've. noticed right away that it is something. different. And I say different doesn't. mean bad. Different just means obviously.

different. You can go about things many. of different ways and be successful. And. what it looks like is they are going to. do things a little bit differently on. offense and defense. And especially on. defense, I mean, we've been screaming as. we I say fans of the Steelers about. moving around TJ Watt for years and. years. he's pushed back on and he's. admitted to pushing back on that the. past couple of years, but he says he has. no choice in that issue. Now, Patrick. Graham, the new defensive coordinator, or or requiring him and putting him in.

positions to move those guys inside, outside, all around. And if you don't. know where TJ Watt's going to line up on. every single play, it makes him a little. bit more difficult to be able to double. team him or or slide somebody to that. side and help out with that. So that. should help out the defense uh. tremendously. But this coaching staff is. very very deep, very very accomplished. That should help out. But these guys do. look like feel like it's just a breath. of fresh air. That's nothing against.

Tomlin. I mean Tomlin did what he wanted. to do and how he did it and it was. successful for many many years, but it. just at the end it did may have seemed. like it got stale a little bit. I didn't. think it got stale, but once you see. McCarthy coming in and bringing. different types of of feelings and. different types of schemes and different. types of things he wants to do, then you. really noticed, yeah, maybe it did get a. little bit stale there a little bit. So, uh, offensively,

Aaron wants to go under center, which he. didn't do much last year, wants to play. action, which he didn't do much last. year, and they got a whole heck of a lot. of weapons now on offense. And that wide. receiver room is pretty deep when you. got guys like Metaf Pitman, rookie. Jeremy Bernard, Roman Wilson, Rico. Donald, Jaylen Warren, running ball, Fri. Mouth, Washington. >> Yeah, they are. They It feels like the. team is in a better position it's ever. been. I like that your ears are already. for training camp. They're kicking those.

AirPods out. I like you're still wired. to because you don't want your brain to. get fried. Yoyo Ma and Mr. Rogers. looking over your shoulder there. So. obviously three icons kind of on the. screen. Yes. Yo-yo Ma. >> Yeah, >> I remember now. Is. >> that who that is? >> Mhm. [clears throat]. >> Yoyo Ma didn't play football, so Kaboli. doesn't know who. >> Mark. I have no idea who that is. The. wire the wired earbuds are uh first of. all, I don't think wireless have made it. to Pittsburgh yet and this. [clears throat] is if Aaron Rogers wears. them, they're good.

>> Gifted it to everybody. >> I'll tell you what, Aaron wins a Super. Bowl in Pittsburgh and he said this is. his final year and he wins a Super Bowl. He has no idea what that city will do. for him for the rest of his life. Especially if McCarthy goes on to have. >> all the ice cream he wants. >> forever and he is just house and ice. cream. And you know I am a little bit. worried because I saw Michael Pitman put. a offseason photo dump on Instagram. >> and then Ben Scorronic posted like I. thought I was going to be in here. He. wasn't. So is there a little bit of you. know they've been hanging out but is. there still you know sometimes when you. hang out you don't become friends. It. actually goes.

>> going for the best friend title for. Aaron. I think Benny Skull currently has. it. >> Well I just want to let you know Benny. Skull is very confused on why he was not. in the dump and I'm like wait a minute. Is there a little Here it is. Not going. to lie, I expected to be in this dump. It's like, yo, is everything okay over. there? [laughter] I almost commented. underneath. Is everything okay in. Pittsburgh? Because I would have loved. to see the reaction immediately there. From my understanding, Benny SK is the. glue guy of all glue goes from my. understanding. He is the guy that you. want around everywhere. And we would say. this, Pitman.

>> guy will die on a field for you. >> Yeah. >> Like actually, he will go head first. into a blender to catch a ball. I I mean. he's perfect for the city of Pittsburgh. You know, I'm almost getting too. excited. But now, before we think about. the future, last question for you. We're. going to have to revisit the last 25. years. Go ahead, Dud. >> Yeah, absolutely. Something I've been. following along with you, your greatest. Steelers of the last 25 years. Uh I know. this list was tough. This is obviously a. great organization. Uh your top four, how how did you get to that top four? And have you gotten any push back for it.

at all? I I love it, by the way. Well, the only push back I got back was from. Nick and Tone uh questioning one of my. lower picks there instead of leaving off. San Antonio Holmes. So, uh I'm sorry. about that, Antonio. Maybe I should have. slid you in there somewhere as a tie, >> but no, I mean that that those top four. or five are really really difficult. Not. number one. We know Ben is the GOAT, right? Antonio Brown, I don't think. people realize that sixyear span he had. from, I believe, 13 to 18 and how.

dominant he was. And Troy, Troyy's Troy, man. I mean, the guy made big play after. big play. And TJ Watt when you have 115. career sacks, he's up there as well. So, uh, it's a really tough list and you. look at the top 10. I probably did Allan. Fanaka dirty there by. >> I thought so. But he's he's real thin, so he's not going to go fight you right. now. He's trying to live a healthy life. No. Jerome Bettis is just a wild thing. to think about. BUT YOU GO LAST 25. YEARS, HE WAS ONLY A COUPLE TIMES. It's. like San Antonio Holmes. Where's San.

Antonio? He's got the best catch in the. history of the Super Bowl. Actually won. that thing against Arizona. And of. course, now granted, this is you putting. together a list on us. So, we're allowed. to do this. I would never sign up to do. this. >> You guys are going to piss a lot of. people off. For instance, San Antonio. Holmes could say, "Oh, >> okay.". >> I didn't I said I had one gripe that S. should have been in there and I was. like, who who would I take off? And I. would love Joe. I love Joe Hayden. Um, but he was only there for five years. Sant was there for four years. Sant was. the Super MVP. Best catch of all time. >> The kickstand catch.

>> The kickstand catch. >> Paboli, that is something. It feels like. you do have some uh obviously some. contentious reactions. Antonio Brown at. number two. I think a lot of people are. going to go AB over Troy Paulo. And then you run some Antonio. highlights. It's like, yeah, maybe. actually if it if we could have kept it. Nonetheless, great list, great team, great organization, great correspondent. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rogers, Yoyo. Ma, and Mark. [cheering].

>> Ladies and gentlemen, we got to get out. to the West Coast, don't we? >> Yeah, we do. >> A lot of conversations happening about. this team. Uh, they bring in a legendary. wide receiver. They potentially lose a. wide receiver just cuz he doesn't want. to play there. Does he want to play. anywhere? We don't know. Got a young. quarterback. Uh, that's a stallion who's. paid. And they got a coach who's. battling a recovery of a a bad bad car. accident that happened on July 14th. Hey, let's go camping. >> Let's go. Let's go camping. [applause and cheering]. Let's head out to San Francisco. Joining.

us now, ladies and gentlemen. He covers. the 49ers for the San Francisco. standard. Uh David Lombardi. We are way. past time. What up, Lombo? >> How's it going? >> We're never missed the city yet. I. >> was about to say we're going to need to. push. >> We We are going to We are never going to. get everybody in in this hour that we. scheduled. We are already 10 minutes. behind. Glombo, we apologize for making. you wait, but we appreciate you joining. us. We do love that city. Uh, how much. are you loving what you're seeing and. hearing about this Niners team going. into the year? Kyle Shanahan news very.

scary. Sounds like 40 stitches. concussion protocol that came out today. He was holding his phone, but somebody. swerved into him. He is not being held. liable, but certainly very serious uh. injuries have taken place. He's kind of. watching as Chris Forers is going. Is. that the big story coming out of San. Francisco 49ers camp or is it Mike Evans. getting acclimated with the offense? What do you think is really the big. talking point right now, Lombo? >> Well, it's a combination of both because. the good news with Kyle is that he has. been out on the field the first two days. of practice about 20 to 30 minutes. He's.

been watching in deep center field. That's where John Lynch likes to watch. from because Lynch in his playing days. is a safety. He likes that vantage. point. And yesterday actually the 49ers. ran a couple deep passes right toward. where Kyle and John were standing. And. Kyle actually had a scatter. He had a he. had a move because he had a receiver and. a quarterback bearing down on him and he. got out of the way just fine. He's been. wearing sunglasses. And I haven't really. gotten an uplose look at at the injuries. on his face. But he has a lot of. fractures and he had to have those 40.

stitches. But the good news is that he. is out on the field for those 30 minutes. a day. The concussion is probably. limiting the time that he can be out in. the bright sun. But they're hoping he's. going to be back full-time sooner rather. than later. But what he has seen in. those 30 minutes, guys, is a wide. receiver cord that is way, way more. threatening deep than last year. Starting with Mike Evans, but Dejon. dribbling is fast and Ricky Pearl is. healthy. So, they've been attacking and. stretching the ball downfield quite a. bit here over the first two practices.

>> Okay, we like to hear that. Tell me. about the defense. We got dogs. everywhere. Obviously Fred Warner says. uh tackling is not that hard because you. just run through somebody's face I. believe is what he said and he plays. like that as does the defense. They've. had injuries last couple years I do. believe kind of. >> Morris over there now. >> Yeah DC I mean there's potential magic. in the air for the Niners as a whole. Tell me about the defensive side of the. ball and what expectations are for them. Well, guys, just go back to the first. two weeks of last season before Nick. Bosa went down in week three and then. Fred Warner went down in week six, but.

the pass rush closed two games, two wins. for the 49ers, including one on the road. over the Seahawks, who ended up being a. dominant team that that won the Super. Bowl. That was Nick Bosa knocking the. ball away from Sam Darnold. So, obviously, when they lost those two guys. early on, it was all downhill from. there. They couldn't stop the run at the. end of the season. They couldn't rush. the passer. They had only 20 sacks. That. was the fewest in the league. So, I said. at the start of this off season that the. 49ers biggest additions, no matter what. they did in free agency or the draft,

would be Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. because he effectively didn't have those. guys last year. They're both back. Nick. looks unreal. You can't even tell that. that he tore his ACL, the third time he. tore his ACL, but he looks like he's in. great shape. Trent Williams even said. that it looks like he's in better shape. than he was before he tore his ACL last. year. And Fred, it's funny. every single. time he makes a play, he looks over. toward the media and he pretends he has. a phone in his hand and he starts. saying, "Hey, tweet about it. Tweet. about it." He's very, very excited to be.

out there. So, they've got the two. veteran stalwarts, but then, of course, they're adding some young talent to to. that defense. They they were the oldest. defense just two years ago in the entire. NFL. Now, they're one of the younger. defenses in the entire league, so. they're hoping to fill it in with some. nice speed and and exuberance around. Warner and and Bosa. >> Kendall is 100% healthy. Uh, not yet. I I would He He's ahead of. schedule and he is still on pup right. now, but he's shooting to be back for. week one. The problem is that there's.

going to be a 15- hour flight week one. and I'm not really sure if they're going. to let him get on that flight, but he's. tracking to be back sooner rather than. later. >> Hey, Don Under is awesome, though. >> Oh, yeah. >> Hey, last question for me. Campana, we hold you in our hearts and when we. think about you. >> Oh, boy. I have no idea. >> God damn it. >> Okay, >> he's younger though, right? Is there. three? How old are you? Americas. >> I don't know. I did hear a little. >> me. I'm 38.

>> Where are you from? Where are you from? >> Central California. >> There it is. Yeah. >> What does that mean? >> A lot of Americas, you know. >> Vicilia, California. We can shout out to. my hometown. It's near Fresno. >> Shout out to them. They missed out on. something pretty big, but I I do I do. like everything about it. We appreciate. Jess Lombardi himself, ladies and. gentlemen. [applause]. [cheering]. He's a Stanford guy. I ain't. >> Did it only Did Nickelodeon only air on. the East Coast? >> I don't know. I'm starting to wonder. >> There it is. >> We hold you in our hearts.

I don't think. I think Daria was MTV. It was all kind.

of same. Rugrats and Salute Your Shorts. was certainly real. The next guy, I know. it. >> Ah, he might be too young. >> How old is he? >> He's a He's a spry young pup. >> What? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Really? >> Oh, yeah. with a wise soul. Ladies and gentlemen, well said. >> Joining us now from Green Bay is LET'S. GO CAMPING. GO CAMPING. >> To a team that brought in $453 million. in national revenue last year. Their.

books are public because they're. publicly owned. We get to learn that one. of the most storied franchises in all of. sports. Covered by a man who writes for. The Athletic, which is obviously headed. by the New York Times. What an honor. this is, ladies and gentlemen. Matt. Schneiderman. [applause]. OH, CARLY LAMBO'S PLACE. WOW, THAT'S. INCREDIBLE. How you doing, Schneids? >> I'm good. How are you guys? Always a. pleasure to be on, >> dude. The honor is ours. Camp on. We. hold you in our hearts. >> Knew it. I got no clue. I've never heard.

of that show. >> Too young. >> This is unbelievable. >> How old are you? >> I I mean, I'm 31, so I'm not that young. >> Yeah, it's a little. >> That's too young. >> I've never heard of it. I'm 31 as well. >> He's more of like the uh Cat Dog Hey. Arnold era. Oh, one of those types. >> I know those. >> See? >> Yep. >> Yeah. You big anime guy, too. >> Those were good. >> I know those, too. >> Hold on. Do not even start questioning. Salute. >> You didn't watch Dude Ranch either. >> Hey, dude. [laughter].

>> I did not. >> Let's move along, please. We got to talk. about the Green Bay. >> What's the story over there? Policies. Policies. He's moving all in. We got a. different vibe on the squad because we. know that we're trying to win a Super. Bowl at all costs or what is the. thoughts over there with Green Bay. Micah all the way back. How do we feel. about what the Packers are going into. this 2026 season? Mr. Schneiderman. >> Yeah, I I think there are three big. story lines and let me know if the wind. is a little too much right here. >> No, you're doing great. >> Micah's recovery. He's starting camp on.

the PUP list. He's probably going to. miss the first month and a half of the. season. The Packers have a strict. 9-month no football rule after ACL. tears. And Micah wasn't even a clean ACL. tear. He had a meniscus injury, too. So, he had to get that repaired. So, the. earliest we'll see him on the field, even on the practice field, is September. 30th. That would be 9 months and one day. after his surgery. That would be the. week start of the week of practice. before their week four game against the. Buccaneers. if we think he needs a. couple weeks to get ramped up. He's.

probably going to return week six here. at Lambo Sunday Night Football against. who? The Dallas Cowboys. >> Hell yeah. >> We like that. The script makers are. going to be pumped whenever they see. that that's possible. The strict no. field policy by Green Bay for 9 months. I'm just learning of that right now. >> I like that. I like that. >> Yeah. Thank you for introducing us to. that. Even if they spend the most amount. of money they've ever spent on a player, they're sticking to their policy, which. I think is kind of policies. >> Yeah, it's policy. policy, which I I can. certainly respect. Let's go to the.

offensive side a little bit. Jordan Love. taking another step. What do we expect? Loses Dobs, obviously, that's a big. deal. Pay another wide receiver. What. should we expect from the offense, Schneides? >> Yeah, I I think they have, you know, three clear-cut wide receivers right. now. In the past, the story's always. been, "All right, they have probably. five or six number two, number three. wide receivers, but they let Romeo Dobs. walk to the Patriots. They trade. Dantavian Wixs to the Eagles. Now it's. Christian Watson, Jaden Reed, and. Matthew Golden. There's really nobody. else that they're going to strongly.

feature. So, there also two other big. question marks on the offense, and. that's Tucker Craft. He tore his ACL in. week nine last year. He's starting camp. on the PUP list, but he told us a couple. weeks ago that he expects to play week. one in Minnesota. So, that's good news. because he at the time he got injured. last year, you could have made the case. that he was a top two, top three tight. end in the NFL and he's probably going. to become, I wouldn't be surprised if he. is the highest paid tight end in the. league here in the next couple weeks,

maybe even before he steps on the field. And then another big question on the. offense. >> is what's going to happen with Josh. Jacob's legal situation. He's still. under investigation by the Brown County. District Attorney's Office, which I. emailed them on Thursday. They said, you. know, it's still an open case. We'll. have an update when something's. resolved. But he was arrested and then. jailed on on five charges relating to. domestic abuse in May, released from. jail cuz the DA's office couldn't find. enough evidence at the time to pursue. those charges. They wanted to continue.

their investigation. He practiced all. offse uh while he was under. investigation. Players on the team have. strongly supported him. Matt Laflur has. said he's been a model citizen around. here, but his future I is kind of. uncertain as well until we find out how. this legal situation resolves itself. >> God, it's crazy that what sports has all. involved in it. I mean, there's so much. luck. There's so many mistakes that. can't happen. There's so many things. that have to take place to win a. Lombardi. You guys know anything about. that over there? Lombardi and. >> a little bit.

>> Do you? >> Just a little bit. It's been a while, but a little bit. >> Ty has a question for you, Schneider. Yeah, Schneids, what about the O line? A. couple year, two years ago, that was. like, you know, they arguably had one of. the best offensive lines in the league. Then last year it was kind of bad. Uh. changing a lot of different guys around. They let a couple guys go. Um are we. anticipating that they'll kind of have. the same nucleus and they're not just. going to start a bunch of different. combinations this year? And do they feel. good about where their offensive line uh. is at going into this year? Yeah, I I think they do. But there's two.

big questions. And that's Zack Tom, who's their best offensive lineman, who's received some Sorry, there's a. truck behind me. >> I like that we're working. >> That's what we're doing. We're working. out here. >> People are doing real work. Um, Zack, Zack Tom, sorry, let me let me wait for. them to drive by. >> That's good. That's New York Times. interview right there. I like what you. did there. Thank you. Thank you for the. professionalism. >> You're welcome. Uh, Zack Tom, their best. offensive lineman, received a couple. allp pro votes the last couple years,

but he partially tore his patellar. tendon against the Broncos. Same game. Micah to his ACL in last year. He's. ready to go for training camp. He's not. on PUP, but he was kind of banged up all. last year uh after getting a huge. extension. And then Jordan Morgan, he. was their first round pick in 2024. played left tackle at Arizona, but he. has played everywhere else on the. offensive line besides left tackle in. meaningful games here in the NFL. He's. their starting left tackle this year. He's finally getting the chance to play. the position he wants to play. We don't. know if he's any good on Jordan Love's.

blind side. So, that's going to be a. massive question mark is is can a recent. first round pick succeed at left tackle. and is Zack Tom healthy after offseason. surgery? If those two things check out, I I think all all systems are go for. this offense. Can't wait to watch Laflur. with another year. I like how aggressive. they've been under policy. Are the. Packers going to win the whole damn. thing again? >> Maybe. >> Ty was a believer last year for six, seven, eight weeks. I forget how long. the run was. >> Up until Mike got hurt. >> You like Jonathan Gana? You know, half.

these down. >> I got fire in my gut right now. So that. should tell you [clears throat] all you. need to know. >> That does. >> I don't know. >> I I think the fire you have in your gut. a little different than what he's. >> It might be. Uh I mean he. >> You had how many coffees this morning? >> Yeah, I had a couple. Uh, I had a. couple. It was an early morning. It was. an early morning. Uh, if he. >> Was it just coffee or did you have. >> I I snuck a bowl in there. Red bowl. Yeah. Sugar. Four. Four coffees. >> Sugar free. No. I mean, well, technically it's not a coffee. I mean, it's, >> you know, it's an espresso. It's not the. same thing. >> The study that came out like you could.

have like five to six coffees. >> Yes, you can. But I'm saying for Tai, the fire that he's feeling in his gut, I. I think it is different than the one. that Ganon was looking for as the head. coach of the Arizona Cardinals. I I I. just don't know if they're the same. fire. But you are a hungry lad, man. >> Yeah, doubling down on Chick-fil-A after. all that was a [laughter] that was. certainly a choice. >> But we appreciate you doing that. You. got to do it. >> Hey, go pack go pack go. Saw the owner. meeting. Uh, obviously Tai wasn't able. to make cuz he had too much fire in the. toilet as well, but we appreciate. everybody showing up. Schneimman, you're.

the absolute man. Good luck this season. Thank you for taking time with us. >> Thanks, fellas. Always a pleasure. >> Hey, tell your mom we said hello. Do you. have the uh Do we How's the tat? Does it. still look good or we covering it up for. camp? Oh, it's good. It's here. >> Sick, bro. >> Oh my gosh, dude. All right, ladies and. gentlemen, smash. >> snell. [applause]. >> No camp on there from him, man. >> Yeah. >> Are we over? >> Yes. >> I I didn't know. >> No, Kaboli wouldn't know. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think he. >> actually was that. Can I see that.

picture again? >> Mhm. >> Yeah, his son is on the was on the show. >> Yeah, that's Kabali right there on the. left. All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's. wrap this up, shall we? Hey, let's go. camping. >> Let's go camping. LET'S GO CAMPING. >> COWBOYS reporter for NFL Network, also. the host of Relief Pitcher on 1053, >> the fan. >> Ladies and gentlemen, might be frozen, Jane Slater. >> Thank you for joining us, Jane. How you. doing? >> Doing good, guys. It's you can smell the.

football in the air. >> Oh, you certainly can. We could feel it. like last week. Then we had some. torrential downpour, but now that. everybody's at camp, it's obviously. exciting. Tell us about the Dallas. Cowboys. Shotty with another year as the. head coach and running the offense. New. DC, Dak Prescott going to have the best. year of his life. What is kind of the. conversation around the Dallas Cowboys. who I think should be winning the NFC. East? >> Oh, okay. >> The conversation is it's too quiet. around here for us. George Bickens, I.

was told, showed up to the bus early, got on the plane, he was ready to roll. So, no hold out. I I already talked to. him during mini camp and OTAAS. I said, "So, you're not going to pull up with, you know, we saw this last year. Micah. Parson showed up and then he had a back. situation. Not going to happen." In. fact, they did the physicals this. morning and every single guy that they. were working off to the side during. OTAAS or mini camp, they're sort of slow. playing. They're all ready to go. So, normally we open up the presser at 11:00. and we sort of do a roll call. Who's.

going to be available every single one. of them and I've covered this team 14. years now. I can't remember a year like. that, guys. So, cautiously optimistic. This is a drama-free camp, but we know. better covering this beat. >> I was about to say that. On that note, we have a question about an actor, a. mogul, a oil conglomerate, a natural gas. honey hole finder. Go ahead, Debb. >> Yeah. We've been covering for 14 years. and we watch football so we've been. forced to hear about the Cowboys and a. lot of Jerry Jones but haven't heard. much from him this off season. What do.

you know about that? Has been has that. been intentional him being kind of. behind the scenes like what you have any. more on that? >> Well, he's been to the World Cup and. he's been on his Eugenia the boat out in. the Mediterranean. But look, they. handled the George Pickins thing early. A lot of people thought this was going. to be an issue, but George told us at. camp they came to him in good faith. They said, "Look, we're going to offer. you the tag. There's not going to be a. trade. We're not going to be talking. about an extension." I think that sort. of put things to bed. And I think the. other thing that stood out to me this. offseason, guys, was not that they gave.

Shotti the reigns, but they've empowered. him with going and finding a guy like. Christian Parker, who was in his. notebook. They brought him in here first. year as a DC. And then when you look at. this roster, they addressed all those. issues in the offseason. guys that were. leaders in this locker room that were. sort of out of place, out of position. with Christian Parker's vision for this. scheme. They moved on for them. They got. trade value. So, there's going to be a. lot of new faces here. But, I think at. some point, you have to say the. definition of insanity is doing the same. things over and over and getting the.

same results this year, at least for. their part. You're not getting front. office changes, boys, but you're at. least getting the process looks a little. different than years past. Jerry's. handling business while he's just. setting sail on the Eugenia $235 million. boat right there. Remember, he did do a. draft selection from this particular. boat during CO. And I like that Jerry's. on that boat going, I'm about this ain't. bad, is it? We don't have chaos. happening everywhere. Maybe we win. another Super Bowl out here. And I. appreciate the fact that Jerry Jones has. done things his way. And I appreciate.

that he's handed it off to his family. I. appreciate the fact that he's letting. Shotty kind of do his thing. We got a. chance to be with Shotty for a bit. I'll. tell you what, last man standing there. That showed me a lot. He was with us. that there wasn't a lot of people that. were I mean, I respect Shotty. I like. Shotti. Feels like he's always been a. player's coach. He always gets it. And I. think the Dallas Cowboys love him. So, I'm pumped to see if they're able to. accomplish something that they haven't. been able to do for a long ass time. Uh. Tone has last question for you here, Jane. >> Yeah, Jane, we talked about the new DC, Christian Parker, and then obviously,

you know, Ray Sean Gary will be there, Quinnon Williams. Those will be new. faces there. Um, but I wanted to talk. about the first round draft pick, Caleb. DS. How excited were the Cowboys that. they he fell to them at number I think. it was 12 and then how excited are they. to get him in in camp and use him? >> They love the guy. And if you look at. some of these behind the scenes because. I know you're a big Cowboys fan, you can. just look at how Christian Parker really. drills down on the mechanics and you. don't need to do much of that. I talked. to his father who played for the Giants. and he said when he was four years old, you know, his brother obviously plays.

for the Colts, you guys know that. And. while he would be a, you know, pee-wee, pop one, whatever you guys want to call. it, he would be off to the side running. his own drills. And during media day, they went looking for Caleb and he was. in the film room already. And so, I. think they're going to get really. creative with how they use him. You're. going to see him in the nickel spot a. lot. But I really think they need to. figure out what they're doing with this. quarterback rotation. A lot of people. are talking about the mic linebacker, but if you look at some of the personnel. that they were very deliberate about. bringing here to Dallas, you can have. some variations. And then there's been.

some talk maybe they think outside the. box and you've got Jaylen Thompson who. wears that green dot as a safety. So I. think that's what's going to be. interesting to see here in practice. Obviously with defense you and offense. you don't get to see too many of the. things but I think what's going to. really stand out for you is they've got. those two practices against the Rams and. they've got one against the Saints and. in this case the Rams have come here. like four years in a row. They're going. down there. So then we'll start seeing a. little bit more of a better perspective. of what can we can expect. There's too. many names on this roster to tell you.

what we expect. >> Well, the Cowboys going to win it all. this year. Maybe. >> Thank you, Cowboy 10, for your support. Thank you, Jane, for everything. We. appreciate the hell out of you. We'll. see you down the road. That's Jane. Slater. >> Let's stay in the NFC East. Huge. breaking news. Jaylen Carter has signed. the largest deal in the history of. defensive tackles. 106 million. guaranteed, 152 million over four years. Congratulations to him and the Eagles as. Shfter reports this about Carter. Did we.

know these deals were happening behind. the scenes for Jaylen Carter? We don't. know. But what we do know, Jaylen Carter. can take over any game, whatever you. want. >> Yes, he can. >> Is he baby rhino is what they is that. what his nickname is? That's a good. thing to be called whenever you're a. defensive tackle. He gets to the Eagles. Obviously, a lot of Georgia Bulldogs on. that defense. He fits in immediately. Is. a game record. Now he's getting. rewarded. Shout out to the Eagles making. this happen. And shout out to Carter. getting it done. >> Yeah, it's a good deal. good deal for. him. Uh he's been taking care of. business, I would say, off the field. That was the main concern with Jaylen.

Carter going into the draft. I think. everybody saw him as the most talented. player in that draft. I forgot what. number he failed to. I think 10 or. around Yes. And I remember Rosen House, his agent outside 10. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. He was like when I. meet with teams outside of this number, he's gotten there, he's done pretty much. everything right. Jordan Davis as well. And we know when the Eagles are at their. best, when defense in the league are at. their best, it starts with those. interior defensive linemen and he can be. the best one in the league. So I think. this is another great move by Roseman. Another obviously great deal for Jaylen.

Carter becoming the highest paid ever. >> He went number nine to the Eagles. Uh. which is why Drew Rosenhouse going in. said we're not he's not going past 10. That means he was told immediately hey. if he's available at nine we're. definitely going to take him cuz on a. football field always a menace since. college. I mean you just pick people up. and move them. Now, would he be able to. handle being a professional football. player? He certainly has. Yeah, he does. choke sometimes. His spit comes out. once. >> Oh, that did happen, didn't it? >> But that's gonna happen every once a. while. You cough. He's a big man. >> You know what? My my defensive tackle.

>> Why not? >> I had a guy hit by a riff and I was. like, you know what? >> That's my guy. Can't be doing it. Can't. be doing it. My first play. >> Can't be doing it. Uh, all right. We're. back on the other side. I'm happy we. went camping. We learned a lot. Next. hour we got Oravski. >> Great. >> Uh, yes. >> Great. See you then. >> It's electrifying [music]. here in Happy Valley. We're lucky to be. here. And uh you know the way you win. this is you have uh be the first 300. people here and you get a ticket and.

then we randomly select a ticket and. that person gets an opportunity to kick. a 33 yard field goal for an undetermined. amount of money. This week we had our. man William, right? What's your name? >> William. Yes, sir. You won the raffle. and you said I don't want to kick. because I suck at kicking. Is that. accurate? >> More or less. >> What is your uh major here? >> I'm a finance major. >> Okay. So, money decision was I suck at. this. Let me try to find somebody who's. good at this. How did you land on my man. here? And uh what are your hopes in him?

>> Well, I was looking around. I saw my. man. He said he plays soccer. And I was. like, this is my guy right here. My dog. Carson. I have faith in him. So, I know. he's going to get it done. >> All right. You're Carson, right? You. played high school soccer. Is that. accurate? >> I did play high school soccer. >> Where are you from? >> I'm from Hannover, Pennsylvania. >> Okay. You're a Pennsylvania guy. Have. you ever kicked a ball before? >> Other than not football, soccer. >> Okay. Well, hopefully you're terrible at. this. It's $100,000. Uh are you guys. splitting that 50/50? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Uh so we'll make it uh $300,000.

$150,000 for both of you. Okay. >> You only get one kick, though. You've. gamed the ticket game, which I. appreciate and respect. It's up to. $300,000. 150 for both of you. Only one kick. though, Herby. We're not doing anything. I don't care how many Sters chant for. another kick. >> Only one Herby played high school. soccer. He's a good player. >> We got a problem here. >> That's right. It's a white out. It could. be a special day. YOU COULD HELP OUT. YOUR GUY William in winning $150,000.

One trick 300,000. TWO. [cheering]. [cheering].

good this minute. >> Carson, congratulations. >> WILLIAM, WAY TO GO. >> IT HAS BEEN AN EXPENSIVE YEAR OUT HERE. at the field goal kick. Carson, I'm. proud OF YOU, BUDDY. 300,000. 150 to. you. 150 to you. Good finance decisions. were made in the FIRST TOP SIX WHITE OUT. HAS A MAGICAL VIBE AND AN EXPENSIVE ONE. We [cheering] are.

Hello beautiful people. and welcome back to our humble boat the. draft kings [music] thunderdome on this. let's go camping Tuesday July 28th 2026. hour the program begins now. football. is [music] obviously carrying the day we. just want camping I feel like we really.

learned a lot about a lot of different. teams and a lot of different storylines. we'll continue to try to do that as much. as possible as we celebrate the hell out. of sport and the NFL being all the way. back all 32 teams are in their training. camps Today, all physicals are taking. place. All contractual negotiations are. either putting a spotlight on them or. halting altogether. Injuries are popping. up. And now reality settles in for who's. really going to be able to win a Super. Bowl like the Indianapolis Colts. And. who's not going to be able to win a. Super Bowl? Like.

>> Miami Dolphins. >> Uh that's rude. >> Yeah, I think you can. >> No, I just saw him look at you. >> Well, I was looking around. I was trying. to figure out who I was going to hit. It's like. >> toxic table. >> AP tone anti Schmidt Pittsburgh Steelers. feel like they're trying to go on a run. Green Bay Packers obviously should be in. conversation late in the season. Nine-year NFL vet Darius J. But Ber, he's got four teams. Okay, so a couple. of those teams are going to go on a run, but nonetheless, every team thinks that. they could win. Every team feels that. they can get to the the big one. Every. team thinks that this could be the year.

that not only their coaching legacy, their player legacy, their franchise. legacy, everything changes for them. Even the plus 50,000 Arizona Cardinals, they just paid a quarterback $15. million. Now, that's nowhere near what. starting quarterback money is supposed. to be and their fans got mad that they. paid that to the quarterback. They in. that building are trying to find faith. and belief that they can win the entire. thing this year. Joe Thomas told us once. whenever we were talking to him, he. played on the Cleveland Browns. There's. one year there, two years maybe they. were 0 and 16. >> He said every year he came out of.

training camp thinking they were going. to win a Super Bowl. And it's like us. watching from outside in go, Joe, you're. never going to win. You didn't win a. game couple. I mean, you weren't never. going to win a Super Bowl. But in these. training camps, the mindset has to. become that we can go win every single. game. >> Got to be. >> The NFL's parody is so close. The. fraction between a win and a loss is so. damn small. It's like any of these. teams, piece it together, they could. potentially go. Got to have a. quarterback though. That will always be. the story line. Joining us now from an. attic in Ohio is a man who's a college. football national champion, Super Bowl. champion, RDER Cup winner, and he's in.

WWE 2K. You might see him this weekend. at SummerSlake. >> in Minnesota. Two night affair, ladies. and gentlemen. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah, you might. You never know. You. might see me out there. Maybe me and the. mic might be running in at some point. >> Oh, AJ Hawk and the mic. Two Ohio kids. coming out. Maybe you guys get in. between Oba Fami and Brock Lesnar. I. wouldn't want to do that. >> I would do that. BROCK LOCKED UBER IN A. CAGE LAST NIGHT as they walked around. >> That's crazy. [laughter]. >> It was crazy. Did you see what Roman. Seth Rollins got into last night?

>> Big time. Yeah, >> Seth Rollins. I think at this point we. can say he's a master baiter. >> I mean, he baited Roman, the original. tribal chief, the official tribal chief. The only TRIBAL LOOK, SETH ROLLINS IS. READING THE JUMBOTRON. >> YEAH, >> he's baiting him. Roman's getting so. lost in it all. He's he's you know, uh, Saman, Hoppy, Abe, Ekko, Lima, they did. the entire thing, right? Took over the. entire world. And Roman goes on to. become the one. Mhm. >> And then Seth Rollins just always. knocking at the door.

>> and Roman can't wait to get rid of him. He goes, "You remember in Indianapolis. whenever you hit me in the back with a. chair and kind of ruined the entire. shield? I'm going to do that shing damn. thing here on the go home raw before. SUMMER SLAM." AND THE MASTER BAITER. KILLED HIM. >> OH WOW. >> THAT'S WHAT HE [screaming] GOT HIM. HE. BAITED HIM AJ. HE MASTER BAITED him. right into that ring AND PUT HIS FACE. STOMPED INTO A CHAIR. THAT'S WHAT WE GOT. going on. Cuz he's a visionary. >> Mhm. >> He's a revolutionary. Yep. >> He's the master of.

>> That's the credits for. >> He is Seth FREAKING. ROLLINS. He's a problem. >> Do you know Manti Tale taught him that. on Good Morning Football this week. >> So that's the thing like Seth Rollins. also sports media. >> Yeah, >> he's all over the place. Yeah. >> Is he going to be able to be locked in. enough to take on Roman Reigns? Feels. like he's at top of his game. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> I mean, he just did this to Roman. Just. come on, buddy. >> Don't call him the architect of. destruction for nothing. >> Is that what they call him? That's what. I call. >> I didn't know I didn't know he was the. master baiter though. Is that a new. thing? >> I just watched it. He just masterly.

baited him right into that ring. Did he. not? >> He did. Since they moved to Netflix, he's been allowed to do that. >> with an eye. >> No the Tony actually on Netflix they're. >> It's very fascinating what they do. actually. They like blur things out and. stop things. It's like well I thought. that's why. >> Yeah. Can't we push the boundaries here? >> And they're like absolutely not. Don't. even think about it cuz some of these. countries we're running this in. You say. that word, >> you're done. >> Punk and Cody, was that on Netflix or. >> That was a house show. That was a house. show. Okay. That was on X.

>> So then Oh, >> you do. Trust me on. >> They do have a match this weekend. Do. whatever you want. >> Yeah, but Dan Hisin's lips are all over. both the guys. I mean, I don't like. that. >> His smooching both guys. >> Yeah, it's almost like he's on BOTH. TEAMS. I I I don't like that. You got TO. PICK ONE SIDE OR the other, you know, and he's out there smooching them with. his face. And then last night, I don't. know if you saw this. His out there with. Joe Hendry because I believe in Dan. Hisen. >> Okay. >> Really? >> Ryan Garcia is out there playing a.

guitar. We didn't know he could do that. Ryan Garcia takes that guitar, hits Joe. Henry in the back. >> Yeah. Last night, >> my Joe. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Your. >> one I believe in. >> Yes. >> That [laughter] one. Boom. There he is. We just kind of missed it, but it did. happen right before we put it on the. screen. Go. There we go. Look at Ryan. Garcia. to know with the little mini. houses. >> Okay, this is all last night obviously. Joe Hendry or RYAN GARCIA, YOU THE MAN. YOU THE MAN. YES, I am. Yes, I am. Garcia says, "How about this?" I'M NOT. ACTUALLY PLAYING, JOE.

>> Summer slam this weekend. >> Yeah, you're going to want to. >> Guitars have a low survival rate in the. ring. >> That's some receiver gloves on. >> Well, I'll tell you what, there are a. couple there are a couple guitars that. have actually done pretty good staying. together and hit people in the head and. then all of a sudden it's not Oh, that's. a splinter. No, that's actually in. there. Oh, okay. Sick. Sweet. >> Kendo stick. Don't love that one. >> Yep. >> Chair. Yeah, right. That's why Seth. Rollins was like, "Yeah, I'm going stomp. his freaking head into this cinema.".

>> Yeah. >> Who taught Tom? Someone taught Tom Brady. how to hit somebody with a chair. Remember he did that fest? >> Terrible hit. >> He used a chair. >> That's your quarterback. >> Yeah. At the Fanatical Fest a couple. weeks ago. >> He didn't use a chair. >> Goofball. >> Oh, he did. He did. He got some guy with. a chair. I don't know who it was, though. No, I think he just slapped, didn't he? He just slap the chair as. well. >> He laid it. eyes on the chair. >> He may have killed the guy. The guy. might be dead. >> Physicality. >> See, it was weird though cuz he hit a. guy this way, but the guy fell the. opposite way. So, I don't know.

>> Our bodies react to blunt force trauma. We don't know. >> Whiplash. >> Who Who' he hit with? >> We One of our guys might know this guy. actually. >> Very well. The mic. >> Oh, >> got hit with a chair. >> Yeah. I How did I not I did not see this. at all. Tom Brady swinging chairs at. people at goofball fest. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> Fresh out of the coffin. >> That's what they call it. >> Fanatics fest. Sorry. You get it. Like. everybody's goofing around. Gary. >> Gary Vee would never. >> Yeah.

>> Got eyes in the back of his. head. >> Yeah. Gary Vee is killing Tom if he's. trying to. >> Do we have this video? Is it exist? It. does not exist. I'm Tony. I don't think. it exists. >> It might be too violent to watch on here. for real. [laughter] Well, the most. violent champion Gunther is. >> he's up this weekend, isn't he? >> Yeah, he's certainly getting after it. with Nick Aldis. >> Oh, that's right. >> General manager, former TNA World Champ. >> People forget about that. Nick knows his. way around Square Circle. >> Yeah, >> I think he's going to learn about a chop. pretty good if I had to guess. Just as. somebody that's been in there, you know.

>> Oh, yeah. >> What's going on here? >> Here we go. >> He's stalking his prey. >> Just got out of the casket. >> This is what the. Boom. There's another angle, too. >> Better angle. >> Come on. >> Look, the guy's dead. He's still down. >> I know. Tom Brady's going extreme. >> Yeah, exactly. >> We need Tom, Logan, Paul, and a junkyard dog. >> Oh, >> back alley brawl. >> They should get the straps out. It a. strap match. >> Is that Betty White swinging that chair?

>> Tony, >> it's the greatest quarterback of all. time. >> You saw it. >> Joining us now is a man who is a. quarterback of all time. He is a quarterback of all time. >> Need more opportunity, >> ladies and little better opportunities, too. >> Yeah, >> I I agree with what he tweeted about. himself earlier today. >> Mhm. >> Ladies and gentlemen, the quarterback. guru, the football pundit, the man who. if he wants you fired, he's going to say. it on air. Ladies and gentlemen, Dan. Olowski. >> Hey, Dan. [cheering].

>> Dano, how you doing? >> I Oh, man. I'm good. How are you? >> What is that about? You know what it's. about. Halfway through the season. This. is coaching malpractice. What they are. currently doing. Yeah. You know what it. is. >> We're here already. >> Exactly. We're in Dan Olski season. Everybody is at camp. We're at Dan. Olowski season. What an honor it is to. be here. >> Happy Dano season, Dano. I know what's. going on. >> Didn't start for a while for you. Uh. how's the off season been? Obviously, there's massive storylines. We took uh.

one, two, three, four, five, six visits. to different training camps in the first. hour. It feels like there's obviously. situations brewing all over the place. Aaron Donald, big story line. Is that. the big story for you or what are you. kind of keeping an eye out as we head. into this particular season from a uh. potential championship narrative that we. need to keep an eye on? >> Yeah, I mean I think Aaron's probably. the biggest storyline. It feels still an. unknown even though it's certainly I.

remember saying this the day after you. were talking about your text with Aaron. He's coming back. I mean, when I I truly. believe that when he texted you, just. got to see if the fire comes back, you. you know, as an exathlete, like the fire. never really leaves. So, I think he's. coming back. When and how they're going. to kind of build it is probably the. biggest storyline. Um, you know, I think. that, you know, the teams that are legit. contenders, I probably say there's eight. to 10 like real contenders. Which one of.

those teams makes um a meaningful move? Is Max Crosby gonna play with the. Raiders for the whole year? If not, >> is somebody gonna try to once again. trade for Max Crosby? I'm a believer in. Stefon Diggs on the field. So, who's. going to add Stefon Diggs? I know Sheffy. was talking about with Washington um. Patrick and the health of his knee, not. only the health of his knee, but how how. well he plays uh and kind of what he. looks like. So, uh, I think, you know, looking at this chart, if you told me.

Houston got good quarterback play, they. would be my pick out of the AFC to go to. the Super Bowl. But there's a big me. >> question mark of kind of like how CJ. plays and really performs in his fourth. year. So, um, those are probably my. biggest story lines, I'd say. Caleb, another year under Ben. >> Yeah, the AFC South is obviously the. toughest division in B. We understand. that. Houston, >> you said Houston Texas are about to win. the AFC. So, where do they play, Dan? The AFC South. Thanks. So, if the best. team in the conference is in a division,

that would be the best division clearly. So, I don't like to hear that because. the Colts need to win. Chris Ballard. actually came out today and said he went. through an extension with the Colts. because we need to win. He's on last. year of his contract. I never heard a. more true statement, but I think uh. getting Danny Dimes back is obviously. good news. Let's talk about some of. these younger quarterbacks that I'm. excited to watch and I think uh they. have a lot of pressure on him. Go ahead, AJ. >> Yeah, Dann. What about Drake May? Obviously with New England, we know he. was MVP candidate. Almost won that thing. last year. He brings in AJ Brown now. another huge weapon. I guess what are.

you looking for from this Patriots. offense and you think they can even take. another step? We know their defense is. going to be legit, but what do you think. of Drake May? >> Massive fan. He was a superstar last. year. I think that the, you know, the. question marks with New England are one, who replaces the production of Stefon. Diggs in like the meaningful snaps or or. situational football moments, red zone. third downs in the middle of the field. Um, I love the addition of AJ. A I said.

this, AJ gives them that Groank type of. one-on-one put you outside by yourself. You're bigger, faster, stronger than. most other people. and that's going to. have a part of their offense. But Steph. was so big in situational football and. in the middle of the field type of the. the field plays and who replaces that. could be Romeo Dobs. I'm a big Romeo. Dobs guy who comes over from Green Bay. He's got to stay healthy obviously, but. I think that finding the person that.

replaces that type of role is going to. because that's not AJ's role. It's just. not. I would argue it's not necessarily. that the strength of Romeo's game. I. think Romeo's a little bit more of an. outside guy. He can work the middle. Feel more of a man guy than a zone guy. for me. So, um I I think like who kind. of fills that void. It'll be a big deal. Their offensive line's going to have to. play a lot better. Um but he he he'll. absolutely be in the MVP conversation. once again. Drake May, >> you tweeted over seven and a half. touchdowns by Thanksgiving for AJ Brown.

on DraftKings. If you're of age and. agree to gamble responsibly, you're not. like an We'd love for you to. come join us on DraftKings available now. in all 50 states. But once again, of age. and not being an We're not. getting super duper rich off of this. We're just trying to make sports a. little bit better. Seven and a half does. feel very low. Dano, why do you think. it's like that? Do they think they're. not going to get on the same page? Think. he's going to get hurt? Think there. isn't going to be enough footballs in. New England? Why do you think that is. the case? >> Well, I think one people believe that. he's taken this significant step back.

AJ Brown. I don't believe in that. I. don't AJ's never been because I see I. see the whole like yards of separation. tweets that people put out. AJ's never. been this massive separator. He He's. always been and like in Breakers, he's. he's run away from people, but he's. always used his big frame or down the. field stuff to go make the plays. He's. still plenty capable of that. Think of. DeAndre Hopkins when he had some of his. years, you know, post that that prime. time in Houston. So plays like that and.

I just so I don't think the big step. back and I think the second thing is if. you just know Josh McDaniels's offense. and you know the style of offense that. he likes to play the number one thing. that I would tell you pass game wise is. it's so matchup ccentric. He is always. chasing matchup A, matchup B, matchup C. And the quarterback's job is just to. find the best matchup. And I think AJ is. going to be that piece that is. constantly moved around to try to create.

that a matchup. Not always going to. happen. And they have other people that. can hurt you if it doesn't, but there's. just not. And Debbut knows there's not a. lot of guys that are just going to line. up and go one-on-one versus AJ Brown. down in the red zone and win. And so. you're going to see down in the red. zone, they're going to get inside the. 10. AJ's going to have a route tag to. every single play almost being like, "Hey, run the fade, run the slant, run. the stop, run the run the pylon, all. that stuff." Um, and I think he can. still do that at a high level. >> AJ Brown has had seven touchdowns the.

last three seasons. So, that was with. the Philadelphia Eagles offense in which. he was not happy. I mean, reading books. on the sideline, making statements, he. scores seven touchdowns the previous. three seasons. We assume that that's. only going to go up, especially if Drake. May believes in him. And Drake May. throws a perfect ball. So being able to. hit back shoulders or in bucket is. something that Drake I think takes a lot. of pride in his young career. AJ Brown. can make those plays. And the head coach. for the New England Patriots whenever he. was with the Tennessee Titans, he. watched his offense go from 15th in the. NFL to 28th after they traded away AJ.

Brown. So I think Mike Vrabel has given. a quite a message to McDaniels. Hey, >> let's get this guy. We get this guy the ball. Okay, that's. why we went and got him here. Everybody. was assuming he was going to New England. for a long time before he went up to New. England. I think he's going to have a. huge ear. And I can already hear Connor. yelling from one of those islands about. all the people that we didn't talk about. on the offense that he's excited about. How about M. Holl? Do you think that. guy's going to make the plays? He's now. barefoot walking around restaurants. I'm. excited for the Patriots fans who I was. was around a lot this past weekend.

Super Bowl for them all of a sudden. again for every single season. >> Oh, that's right. Congratulations, Connor. That's awesome, man. Congrats. But. >> he said, "Fuck you, Dan.". >> Oh, he's not there. >> That was a quick text. I don't think he. said that. I mean, maybe we will relay. >> invite me. >> sitting in this seat. >> I'm actually kind of surprised as well. Would have been cool to see you there, especially because a lot of Mass folks, a lot of mass holes there and uh a lot. of New England there. I had a blast with. these guys. Different group of dudes. than I've ever been around in my entire.

life. I had a really, really good time. with these New Englanders, you know. It. was. >> Yeah, New Englanders, the Massachusetts. people, the Mass are um they're. [clears throat] a unique kind of person. We've got a good friend who certainly. won. Uh she's the best. She's an. absolute lunatic in the best ways. possible. Uh she got mad this past. weekend because her son was playing in a. lacrosse tournament and um her son ended. up playing against a Philadelphia or a. Pennsylvania Philly team and her son was. playing for like team Connecticut and.

their uniforms were um like pinstripes. almost like the New York Yankees. >> and the um Philadelphia or Pennsylvania. based team was like the Rocky theme. attached to the Sixers and she was mad. that they had. Philly sports team centric and hers son. who's a Boston kid was New York centric. >> She was like legit upset about it. >> Well, that's real. I mean, what do we. have? The Boston Yankees here. I I think. she has a real gripe, especially with.

the way the Red Sox. >> She was upset, dude. >> Yeah, I assume she let people know about. it. >> There are a lot of Yankee fans in. Connecticut. >> Yeah, >> Bruce. No, he's from He's from the. Bronx. So, what are we talking about? >> Pretty split, >> especially in in Fairfield County. It. does kind of get split up by Hartford, you know. >> Fairfield stags. Are we talking about. the Fairfield Stags? >> Fairfield Stags. Mostly Yankee fans. >> Yeah, cuz we had Stags. Stags up. I was. around a lot of stags. >> I'll tell you what, I showed up maybe a. little bit late to the rehearsal. And uh.

I didn't know we're wearing full sport. coat suit to that thing. Rolled in and. we had khakis, loafers across the board, dress shirt, >> blue blazer. >> Blue blazer across the There was 10 of. them. >> Every person. >> there was 10 of them. I literally see. >> then you're vines my face off. >> They were l Exactly. They were lined up. too. So it was literally just look like. a magazine cover of like some. sort of khaki or boat thing and I walk. over. What's your name? Connor. What's. your name? Connor. Who's get Connor? What's your name? Connor. What's your. name? Rob.

>> Jesus. >> Ano? Rob. >> Never going to remember anus. My name's. South. >> Yeah. It was a great group though. They. were unbelievable. I'm gonna say they. were a spectacular group. That's my. first time ever being around that breed. of what? And uh it was a pretty good. time. I will say it it was certainly a. pretty good time and uh I appreciate New. England more but they all believe. >> guess who you know uh is all the way. back and for good reason. All right. let's pivot around the NFL. Debbud has a. question for you Dan. >> Yeah Dan I know you got a lot of. about you know your evaluation I guess.

of Fernando Mendoza being the number one. pick. Obviously the expectations are. going to be there. Uh you were kind of. conservative with Drake May. Hey wanted. him to sit be patient. What's the. timeline that you see for Fernando. Mendoza out in Vegas? I know they signed. Kurt Cousins be a new offense doing. completely different things than he did. in college, but what's the timeline that. you expect to see out there in Vegas. with Mendoza? >> Yeah, I would sit Mendoza until I. absolutely had to play him. Um, so it's. either that ownership says get him on.

the field, uh, which I would fight. personally, or you know, your your. season is back end of November and you. want to start that final sixgame stretch. with him. You know, Dud, I was thinking. about this because I'm doing NFL live. today with Adam Thielen, who's got a. history with Clint Kubak, new head coach. of the Raiders, >> Demon, >> and I was thinking about the I've talked. so much about how it's going to be a. completely different offense for. Fernando than he's ever run before. >> and it was only attached to the on the-.

field stuff. And then I was thinking. today, it's going to be a totally. different world for him from the and for. Clint because Clint Kubak for his past. couple years has been around some, you. know, veteran quarterbacks that have. experienced NFL offenses. But just think. about Fernando having to go and hear um. 8 to 12 to 14word play call, get it into. the huddle. >> THAT'S A COW, BRO. THE GUY'S GOT A super. break. Yeah, but it's still it's still.

being able to in this period of time, 5. seconds, [clears throat]. hear it, communicate it clearly. Um, and. Pat, I'm telling you, there's things in. the huddle when like I'm telling you. this receiver, you're going to be. aligned somewhere different than you. were last week. the shift, the motion, the timing of it, the cadence. Like I I. need people to understand this and you. hire Clint Kubak in part because of the.

the intelligence element of his offense. Like you love the way he calls his plays. and calls a game. You you don't want to. take that away from him too early. because he's going to be playing a. younger quarterback. I'm not saying this. is impossible. When I you asked me like. how long, but I would wait. I would wait. till I would think that Fernando can. operate pretty heavily all of my offense. because that's part of the reason why. you've hired me. >> Got it. Got it. I understand what you're. saying. But what we are trying to tell. you is you have kind of,

how would I say it? You you have I think. you have showcased that you don't really. respect Fernando for what we respect. Fernando for through the evaluation. process. Bit of a hat. I I think the. people would say that handicapping and. there it is. You have been handicapping. Fernando in a way that we don't. appreciate. So that is just a differing. of opinion between us. You saying this. is 15 words. It's like Fernando just. graduated I think with honors from Cal. Okay. And he views. >> it. I know a lot of dudes who played.

quarterback that were smart that that. couldn't go do it on the field. >> and win a Heisman in a national. championship obviously and carry Indiana. to a title. I mean I know a lot of those. dudes as well. But I I'm just saying. this is once again you having your draft. thoughts kind of creep in cuz you know. what I'm saying to him? >> Put his ass in there. Week one. Week. one. Why? Because he's a dog. >> Let me ask you this. Let me ask you. this. Let me ask you this. Let's let's. let's have A LEGIT CONVERSATION. >> I LOVE KIRK COUSINS. OKAY. Have you seen. Fernando and Kirk C? Fernando's looking.

at Kirk Cousins like this. This is. another thing you discount. The guy is a. giant. He's an he's an. >> No, I'm not DISCOUNTING ANYTHING. >> YOU DISCOUNT EVERYTHING. THIS GUY, HE'S. NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO REMEMBER. HE'S. NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS. >> You live in an assumptive world. Let's. let's pretend that we're in the Raiders. and we sit there and say, "Man, we we. really like this kid. Clint, how much of. our offense can we go week one and. operate?" And he says, "Right now, with. all the things that we want to do, if we. want to play Fernando, we're going to. run 40% of our playbook. >> Figure out a way to put him out there.".

Well, why are you putting him Fernando. knows 100% of the playbook by the time. he is ready to play? >> You you know that. >> I saw Andrew Luck check to something in. his first off season. And I think I. would compare Fernando's brain. >> Andrew Luck ran him his brain maybe, but. Andrew Luck literally ran one of the. more intricate offenses in college. football. Harbaugh would give him three. or four plays in the hut at a time. Multiple shifts, multiple motions. >> Okay. So you I didn't see Noacowski in.

motion every single play. I I mean what. are we even talking about here? Handled. every single defense with. >> it. IT WAS FLYING COLOR. >> I UNDERSTAND WHAT WHAT what Dan is. saying. Fernando obviously he played at. an elite level but the simplicity of the. offense that he ran in college and his. ex like it was like you know his run. game, it was RPO's, it was back shoulder. phase, it was thing he did other things. but to Dan's point I get like Andrew ran. a pro style offense. He was obviously a. son of a quarterback. So it is a.

difference of intelligence, football. intelligence. Now Iando. I do think Fernando has football. intelligence. But can you go into week. one and he knows 75% of the playbook or. we can operate at even 60% of play. I'm. putting Fernando out there. >> I'd probably have a conversation then. I. mean, if you. >> Kurt Cousins, I'm. >> I don't disagree with that debut. Like, if we sit if we're again in the. organization and we say, "Hey, this we. think this guy can run 75 80% of our. playbook from the personnel groupings to. the situational football stuff to the.

shifts in motions. He's got the timing. of the footwork down. We think he's. mentally tough enough to deal with some. of the obstacles he's going to deal. with." Then it's a different. conversation. >> Yeah. >> You asked me what I thought was. >> Yeah. Now you're thinking he knows 30%. of the offense. So you're just. immediately discounting what this guy's. brain is. So you you have a narrative. Okay. You have a narrative. Yep. Exact. >> I don't know what you're doing down. there. Maybe, you know, maybe Seth. Rollins isn't. You know, [laughter].

maybe. >> maybe Seth Rollins isn't. But what I'm. saying, Dan, is you need to stop viewing. Fernando through Don't do it again. We. already saw it. It's already been. clipped. >> Clipped. Yep. >> Yeah. I just thought of that. >> Yeah, it was a big explosion, too. Oh, you say something about. >> I think what AI's Yeah. Anybody. >> Oh my god. >> Here's the head. >> We knew it. And I know you just want to. hit yourself in the face cuz I'm not. meaning to sound like what I'm sounding. like is what you're trying to say, but. it's like let's just talk about.

>> you are making me sound that way. >> Oh, okay. What big game is he played? You know, that was on us, not on you for. asking that question, of course. But, you know, accountability is a good. thing. You know, one figure he got three. point back. Nonetheless, uh I I think I. believe so much in Fernando. I just. think like okay, whatever he needs to. do, he's going to do. Like that is what. it is. So I think he's going to learn. the offense. I don't think the brain is. going to be a problem. I think the way. he views defenses is in a professional. manner. Now, will he be able to have it. immediately? I think yes. I I think he.

will. There's obviously going to be. rookie growing pains through it all with. him and Kubak, but like. >> I'm interested to see I'm believe and. he's this big, Dano. He's. >> Yeah, I know. He's a mountain of a man. I get that. He's a big dude. Clint a. couple years ago was with I believe. Brock Pery when he had to step in for. uh Jimmy G. Was he there? Was Clint. Kubak there? Maybe Minnesota. Um but I. think he was there with Brock as a young. kid. So he should have a feel for like. at least the baseline of what you want a.

young kid to sound like and operate like. in practice to say, "Yeah, I think this. this kid's got a chance to get on the. field sooner than maybe we anticipated.". >> Yeah. But if he starts week one does. great, I mean, you just kind of, you. know, next draft season we're going to. have to revisit it, you know, and you. know that. And you know that. So that's. what you're doing here. That's what. you're doing here. And I respect it. You. You're the one going double grip on it. >> Yeah. >> You know, it wasn't me doing that. >> No. No. >> Just remember that whenever that hits. the internet. >> That was you that did that.

>> Should be good. >> The internet's the greatest, man. They've been pretty mean to me for a. while here. >> It's up and down. >> But they are so talented. And it is a. talented bunch. >> Different sectors. >> just like, "Wow, these people, these. nerds are pretty clever over here. This. this must be like what the Reddit ride. is like.". >> There's a lot more mean than funny. people on the internet, but the funny. ones do stand up. >> Yeah, but mean and funny. >> I was going to say there are some that. are very mean and very funny. >> Yeah, that too. >> And you can't help but just go like. >> combination. >> Wow. Combination, Sean. Yeah, that's a. lethal combination actually. But for you.

as you're reading it about yourself, you. can't help but go like. >> I've got a couple of those days. here. They really tied that one together. pretty good right there. That that was. >> saw a lot of those yesterday. I can't. remember who it was about, but I saw a. lot yesterday. >> Going to have to mute this account. Okay. Going to have to mute this. particular account. Uh just cuz I can't. be reading this every day of my life, but this one certainly certainly. respect. Now, let's talk about talking. about things. There's an AFC North team. that uh obviously has a guy that we all. assume will be able to win a Super Bowl. Hasn't yet. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Dan. I feel like there's been a.

lot of talk about a lot of teams, but I. feel like there's been zero talk about. the Baltimore Ravens. And I don't I. don't know if it's because there's a new. coach and and Harbaugh is gone or. because they had very much of a a down. year last year where uh you know the the. O line wasn't great which in return. Lamar was banged up, he wasn't great. Um. the defense has missed some pieces. Why. do you think that no one is talking. about the Ravens? Because the last. three, four years they have been. perennial Super Bowl favorites uh going. into the season. Yeah, I mean I think part of it is. because they have earned the burden of.

not having us care that much about what. they do in the regular season. Yeah. >> And that's not necessarily fair, but. they've been so good for so long. I. remember when Dak Prescott kind of got. into this world as a player where he was. just playing at a high level year after. year after year and then everyone was. like, "Okay, what is he doing in the. postseason?" I think Baltimore is into. that conversation just as a football. team. I think Buffalo is in that. conversation as a football team as well. where it's like we we know you're.

probably going to be somewhere between. 11 and six, 12 and five somewhere in. that world. You're going to be more than. likely in the playoffs and you've been. so good. Your quarterbacks have been so. great yet you've fallen short some way. or another and we just want to see what. you do in the playoffs. Um so I think. that's part of it is like you know. you're you're going to be a good. football team. you're going to be. playing into January. And then it's a. little bit of the, you know, the Jesse. Mentor is a more of a quiet personality.

The Harbaugh name is actually an. unbelievably dominant name in the. football circle. Jesse Mentor is a. little bit more quiet personality, I. think. Um, and so it hasn't created a. ton of off the- field headlines. Lamar's. been there all off season. to my. knowledge that hasn't necessarily been. um a part of his offseason operation. over the past couple years. Um I think. there's some question marks on their. football team. They lost Isaiah likely. They've got two young receivers that.

they draft that have to be really big. players. The interior of their offensive. line is going to be brand new. Does. Mabique play? So they're really good, but um I think that there's some. question marks we have to see how it. plays out this year. And I think it's. just going to take Lamar some time to. learn this very new offense. >> And when we think about you, it makes me. want to.

>> This thing came apart. Dan, get it. right. [applause] Pay the price. >> Yeah, that was pretty good, Dan. Pretty. good out of you, Dano. >> Does AJ do it? >> AJ definitely know he's AJ's the one who. sent this photo in actually. Yeah, this. is my era. I love that. I didn't notice. Kaboli was in there. I thought though. >> Yeah, Kaboli's down there on the left. We see him. Uh he would go on to become. a correspondent for the Pittsburgh. Steelers. >> That's right. >> Wait, that's a real thing? >> He was right in the middle of the other. picture. >> That's Marky. >> Yeah, right there. He played Donkey.

Lips. >> Yeah. >> Other picture. >> You guys being serious or am I just. falling for something here? >> Dead serious. >> What are you talking about? >> The other picture you can see better. >> Yeah. Get the other one up and then. we'll be able to showcase it a little. bit better. You can see the aging of. him. There he is in the blue. >> There he is. Blue. Now put Kaboli up. Can we find a a photo of Kaboli? He is. donkey lips. [laughter]. >> I know Dan would know it. >> Yeah. I mean it's a great show. Of. course Dan knows that. You know what I.

mean? It's a bummer how many people. >> Maybe it is just the East Coast. >> I'm from the Midwest. I watch Midwest. True. Yeah. >> Doug. You guys watch Doug. Doug. Patty Patty Mayonnaise. All right, AFC, you said the AFC North. obviously a little bit quiet, a lot of. changes. Pittsburgh Steelers seem to be. very confident with where they're at. Seem to be very happy. Baltimore Ravens. excited to see what Lamar Jackson does. in a new environment. Sane building. And. if we know anything about Bashadi, he's. got it right, >> you know. Oh, Bashad's got it right over. there. Let's head over to the other.

North, shall we? Feels like the winter. might be coming. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Dan. Certainly seems like the NFC. North is one of the the few conferences. where you could really make an argument. that I mean I suppose you could say. maybe the Vikings will win. I don't. believe that. Uh but you could really. make an argument that any of the Lions, Packers, or Bears could win the. division. Uh what's your take on this. division this year? Uh I'll go first. I'll give you my pick. I think this is. going to be the year the Packers put. everything together. I really do. It's. not a homer pick. Okay. We got Micah.

going to be 100% come week six. Jordan. Love. Finally, they're gonna take the. reinss off him. Maybe he wins MVP this. year. I don't know. I think so. I think. I think. >> they're fine. Why? Why? Why this year. are they taking the reigns off first? Maybe the previous. >> Well, because I think they're finally. tired of like all the stats coming out. after the season about like how good he. is and like he's in like the top five. everything and then in the playoffs like. they for whatever reason they let him. throw the ball like eight times and then. it's like you do you trust the guy? You. know, he's really good but you don't. really trust him to kind of just go out. there and play. >> Who's going to be the more wide out? >> Yeah, it's the Florida hot seat then if.

he won't call the plays for Jordan Love. >> I don't know. Damn, is he? >> Uh, uh, he will be. Yes. If if if they. don't I mean, we all know the. expectation. When you trade for Micah. Parsons and give away your first round. picks, you kind of raise the standard. uh, even greater in the expectation. level. I'm I'm with you. I would, if I. had to pick a team today, it would be. Green Bay. [laughter] I think the. offensive line is going to play better. Matthew Golden has to take a step. forward. Tucker Craft was becoming one. of the best tight ends in football. He's.

going to come back from the ACL injury. Um, I think the defense is going to be. very good. I think the addition of Cece. in the secondary is going to matter. Here's my thing that I wish people truly. started to understand a little bit more. And every I'm so in I want to phrase. this the proper way. I think we as a. football community. put way too big an emphasis on. quarterbacks throwing interceptions. having this unbelievably negative impact.

on their ability to play at a high level. in wins and losses. The guy who led the. league in picks last year won the Super. Bowl. And I'm totally aware of how good. JSN was and the defense was dominant. But I think if you have a very good. defense and talented defense and. Jonathan Gennard Genon taking over as. defensive coordinators, a little bit of. a lunatic in a good way and it's going. to be bombs over everything like here it. comes pressure after pressure after. pressure. If we're going to play.

defensive football like that, you got to. stop worrying if your quarterback throws. a interception in the first quarter and. and then the rains come in and the. handcuffs go on. I I really believe for. these ultra talented guys, it's got to. be, and I said this last year with. Jordan, and we saw at times like, dude, if you throw a pick, I don't care. Like, we we have to test defenses more. We. have to try to be o you're talented. enough to make those challenging throws.

That's why we pay you. If I didn't want. you to make the challenging throws, I'd. pay a quarterback that was just good. And so, I think like the whole football. world puts, "Oh my gosh, this. quarterback, who cares? It's a pick. defense. Get it back for us. I'm not. saying reckless, but I need Jordan Love. and Matt Laflur to enter into the the. the marriage of we're going to be very. aggressive all the time. >> Yeah. The no risk it no biscuit type. situation. And then obviously the lack. of turnovers was one of Aaron Rogers's.

biggest things. So I think the Green Bay. Packers forever have been very. conscientious of controlling the ball, especially if you have it. But Tai would. probably follow up and ask, "Is that. Laflur making the play calls or is that. Jordan Love deciding not to do it. because he's being told not to risk. anything?" I think that is probably what. Tai's immediate follow-up would be. >> Yeah, definitely. Cuz he only threw six. interceptions last year. And I think. part of it might be the like, hey, that. was how Rogers killed people. He has the. best touchdown interception ratio in the. history of the NFL. But like he wasn't. turning the ball over a bunch. So is. that like them really harping on him.

like, "Hey Jordan, we can't be turning. the ball over. Our defense is playing so. well. we just let's go score points or. is that him just playing cautious out. there and not wanting to throw. interceptions? >> Yeah, I would this is a guess. I would. imagine it's a little bit of both. You. know, I'm not in those rooms to tell you. exactly how they're communicating and. philosophically how they're choosing to. play. I understand the Aaron point. It's. it was a different era though. Aaron's. offense that he played in was a a West. Coast. It was ball distribution. they.

would march the length of the field, get. into the red zone, and he would just. destroy you. Um, this Green Bay offense. is a little bit more trying to create. explosives from the play action pass. game. He's not Jordan nearly as mobile. and deadly as Aaron was when he was. mobile. And so I don't know, you know, why for a young man that is as talented. as he is. Um, but I think when and if. they are fully healthy, there has to be. a little bit of a philosophical shift to.

and it's all situational as well. I I. don't we don't need to come out in the. first quarter and just throw into double. coverage. I'm not saying that. But when. you're watching tape and you know it's. we we've got a a shot early on to. Christian Watson and it's you know a a. 50/50 type of ball or an even leverage. type of ball. Let's take our shot dude. Like if we're watching tape and you tell. me I just didn't feel see like I don't. need that. If first and 10 you're thrown.

into triple coverage that's reckless. >> That's reckless. That's a. non-negotiable. But there are examples where you sit. there and say, "Why don't you take that. one?" Like, "Why don't you throw that. one? It's first and 10. We call the shot. play. We get the defense. I didn't love. the leverage, but we got the leverage we. want. Let's Let's Our other guys got to. earn their scholarships.". >> Yeah. And Jordan's a hooper. You know, he's a player. You could tell he's not. getting there. So, let's just let him. Hey, let's get loose out there, Jordan. You can make every throw. Not that one.

you just did against Carolina. That was. bad. Especially if Rico Especially if. Rico D was going to go crazy like he did. [clears throat] against your defense in. that Carolina Panther game. Rico went. you came in here and said, "Is Rico D. the best football player to ever play. football after that particular weekend?". I forgot about the triple coverage. interception. >> That was the birth of Hey, listen. The. Panthers are good football team. >> Because they had not looked great up to. that point. The Packers had and they. they great football players. >> Okay, so Tai's got the Packers, Dan's. got the Packers. NFC North, AJ, who are. you picking?

>> Oh, I got the Packers all the way. Especially with Micah coming back what. at minimum week six we said right. Schneiderman said. >> you guys all you possibly comes back. earlier than that. >> the week four I guess this 9month no. field ACL injury rule that the Packers. have that we just learned of today is. something that Me. >> you really. >> yeah I didn't I didn't know of that. luckily I never tore my ACL so maybe. that's why I do not know that but they. are you know historically very. conservative and actually really really. care and take care of their players so. it's a good thing. So September 30th. would be 9 months and one day for him to.

return, which would be before week four, but they think a couple weeks after 9. months, one day uh to get back. Schneiderman told this uh earlier. He. said week [clears throat] six, which is. Sunday Night Football against the. Cowboys, and that's a lot of games left. Week six, there's a lot of games left. He can still do a lot of damage and. hopefully be a part of the most. important games at the end of the season. as opposed to last year where you lost. your biggest piece on defense who was. almost defensive MVP. So AJ's got the. Packers. Orlovsky's got the Packers. Kai's got the Packers. Tone, who do you.

have in the NFC North? >> Idiots. I like the Packers. >> Okay. What? >> Tone has the Packers. Let's get a. nine-year NFL vet. Darius Jay Ber, who. do you have in the NFC North? >> You know what? I think they're running. back. I think the King of the North. returns. I think. >> I could I could have told you. >> I think Caleb makes another jump. And I. the opposite of what he's saying about. Jordan Love. I think Caleb, everybody's. saying, "Hey, take the singles, take the. layups," which he you do have to do. that. You got to make the routine throws. in the NFL, but keep being special. We've seen glimpses. We saw it on every. level. Playoff teams. Now, I'm worried.

about the defense. They feasted on. turnovers last year. That usually. doesn't go year by year. They lost a lot. of production as well, but I got the. Bears running it back. >> Okay. So, four Packers, one Bears. Dan, you wanted to follow up on the Chicago. Bears. It sounded like. >> So, I I here here would be my push back. to debut. I I think that the the trend. because the turnover thing was I was. going to make that point, but also the. trend with what we're seeing out of the. like really dominant defenses in the NFL. is truly going back to your defensive.

line dominating. We've seen that with. Seattle last year. We saw it with Philly. the year before. Shoot, in the AFC, you're thinking about team like the. Denver Broncos that have if one of the. if not the best defensive lines in ball. I just don't think Chicago's defensive. line is at that dominant level. Um, I. think Detroit's has the chance to be. I. think Green Bay has the chance to be. I. think Minnesota's has the chance to be. I don't see Chicago's having that debut. >> Grady Jarrett, Javon Dexter, Gallammore,

Montes, Sweat, Austin Booker. >> Not great on paper. Go get Vita. >> Vita potentially available. >> Sure that. But the weapons, those young. weapons, I think Rome makes a jump. I. like Luther. He came on late and Coulson. Lovelin is my favorite young tight end. I love Brock, I love Tyler Warren, but I. like I I [clears throat] think Lovelin. scratched the surface uh last year. I. think he's like a 1200,400 yard. >> Best tight end in the division. >> Four pack four Packers, one Bears pick.

Let's go to the odds on favorite Detroit. Lions fan, Evan Foxy in the back. How do. you feel about nobody picking MCDC and. the Lions? What an abnormality for this. normal like kind of conversation about. the Lions. Even last year heading in the. Lions are going to be great, don't worry. about it. Year before that, Lions are. going to be great. Don't worry about it. Year before that, Lions are going to be. great. Don't worry about it. Now there's. no conversation and the sports books. have him as the odds on favorite. Four. Packers, one Bears pick just on this. stage. Foxy, we've been forced to watch.

and learn everything about the Lions. What do you think that's all about, Fox? >> Yeah, I mean, I get it. I would say I'm. concerned about the defense. Kirby. Joseph's knee. No one knows what the. hell is going on with that. He's on the. PUP. Brian Branch to his Achilles, he's. on the PUP. That's worrisome. And also. Terion Arnold, he's cut from the team. So our secondary has a bunch of guys. like me out there right now. That is. concerning. But let's keep in mind Jared. Goff St. Brown Jir. Gibbs. People are expecting to have.

2,000 yards this year. Let alone, let's. go to the defense. We still have Jack. Campbell. We still have Aiden. Hutchinson. We have so many studs on. this team and I actually I don't mind. that you guys didn't pick us. I'm. actually going to take this clip and. send it to the Lions as motivation and. we'll win the division this year. >> No way it gets into the locker. >> Who's calling players for the Lions? >> Drew. No, I don't care about the OC. either. I meant to say that. Da. I do. not care about the OC. He's 14 years. old, is he not? >> He's so good. It doesn't matter. >> Dan will take over the noty. Dan. Campbell will take over the play call if. we need to. >> Yeah, it worked great, man.

>> They scored points last year. >> Missing Ben Johnson. They Yeah, they. were averaging like 35 points or. something like that last year. >> They scored a lot of points last year. Jared G had a great year. St. Brown had. a great year. Jamo had over 1,000 yards. It's just the big thing they got to fix. because that defense isn't so good is. you got to be able to run the ball and. control the clock so the defense stays. off the field. >> Yeah. Well, the defense just got to get. better. Maybe, you know, agree. Maybe. defense needs to figure it out. Have. Evan Foxy roaming in the back there. Need to make him look like uh Ed Reed. there. Shep. Come on. Let's go Shep. Coach him up. >> Yep.

>> All right. Well, we appreciate you, Dano. anything that we didn't hit that. uh where's Va going Colts? >> Um I hope I mean for Tampa's sake I hope. they don't let him out of the locker. room. I think Tampa is a contender. I. think their roster is one of the better. in the NFC. So I I think you do. everything you can to try to keep them. Um if if I were teams that would should. call. I wrote this down yesterday. I. think uh Buffalo should call. I think. Baltimore [clears throat] because you. don't know what's going to happen with. Matab should call. I think the Chargers. should call. I think Chicago should.

call. San Francisco, Detroit, those. would be the teams that like I think at. least have to make the call, but I I. would imagine Tampa's trying to keep. them. >> Yeah. And you just didn't say the Colts. because I already said that and I. appreciate you doing that. Uh thank you. so much, Dano, for joining us. It's. almost Dano season now. We should see. you on TV every day, right? Going. forward. >> Nope. Um No, man. It's still summertime. I still still summertime, dude. I got a. couple weeks left. A couple weeks left. Family time. I will probably pick it up. here in a week. Yes. But not every day. till till September. Are you employed by. ESPN still?

>> Yes, sir. >> Is it this guy's fault? >> Could be. >> Unbelievable. >> Dude, don't JJ Wattney, man. >> See you in two weeks, dude. Ladies and. gentlemen, Dan. >> just did hard time there. 30 something. minutes. Yeah. See you in three weeks. Is that guy's bullet? >> Kick your feet up, Dano. >> Takes a long time to load up the Dan. wagon apparently. >> Yes, it certainly does. Especially with. that good of a tan. Yeah. >> Yeah, we can see it, Dan. It's written. all over your face, actually. how good. of a time the Orlovskis have been. having. On that note, >> shout out to Madden Norloski.

>> Shout out. Should have brought that up. >> Definitely should have brought this up. I mean, he was [laughter]. literally It was sitting right here. It. was uh Madden Norloski, obviously Dan. Orlovsky's son, one of his uh many. children, I would say, is autistic, is. an artist, and obviously um put together. some merch to support, I believe, the. Philadelphia Eagles Autism Foundation. and everything like that. So, anything. we can do to support that that makes me. cry every single year. >> Yep. >> Because Dano, watching Dano, you know, Yeah. And the way he talks about being. able to provide something to him that he.

obviously gets fulfillment from, it's. special. So, shout out to Dano. Shout. out to the Eagles. They paid Jaylen. Carter today. What a massive deal that. was. Offensive tackle also got paid. today from the uh. >> I didn't see it. That the Vikings. >> Vikings. O'Neal. >> Brian O'Neal. Fouryear 96 million. contract extension. Who's he blocking. for? has not been publicly announced. Adam Tin said this is Kyler Murray's job. to lose yesterday on NFL Live. Pretty. much that feels like a big statement if. we're going to take anything away. But.

$96 million four-year deal. Brian O'Neal. locked in. Congrats to the Vikings. Now. remember, they move on from general. manager. >> Yes. >> Now we believe is this a KOC team? Is. KOC kind of doing you know both jobs. potentially? Is he getting more power? Is he staying the ship? Whatever the. case, we love what that Vikings team. could be. If they get great uh. quarterback play, they can go on a run. I mean, that is a team that can. certainly do it. That NFC North is. packed out. We have about a minute and a. half here before a hard out. We're going. to go around the boys and say what their.

favorite thing of the offseason was now. that training camp has officially. started and we're all the way back into. the NFL. Tone Digs, Cowboy uh supporter, how what was your favorite thing that. happened pre-NFL training camp this off. seasonason? Uh, big Mike McCarthy. getting hired by the Pittsburgh. Steelers, coming home back to. Greenfield, restoring the organization. to greatness it deserves. >> Okay, so your thing is still a football. thing. Okay, Ty, no, it doesn't have to. be. That just Hey, you just he said a. lot about Ty. Favorite thing of the. offseason that got us through here? >> Uh, I'll stick with uh you know what?

No, I'm not going to do football. Uh, favorite thing of the offseason is a. long time ago, but I mean Iowa made it. to the Elite 8. It was unbelievable. It. was a long time ago. Holy But you. know Yeah, exactly. Ben McCollum. So, you know, go Hawks, baby. >> Uh, Debbut, nine-year NFL vet. Favorite. thing that happened before we got back. to training camp here. >> Would not be football, be family. Spending some great time with family. Start. We bunch bunch of us have kids. My oldest last summer going to college. Love you, Maya. Be good. >> You spoke for all of us there. Obviously, AJ, favorite thing that. happened in the offseason. >> Meant to mention yesterday, I'm actually.

a fan of the Nickel City uh jerseys for. [laughter] the Buffalo. >> No, he's not. >> What a jerk. >> Dead serious. I actually kind of like. >> part of training camp. And for me, my. favorite thing was uh getting a chance. to celebrate life alongside all you. We'll continue to do that digitally. Your sports center continues in three. minutes. Goodbye. >> Okay. No World Cup mention. >> Oh yeah. >> Holy. >> Easy coming. Definitely not the. favorite. >> Oh my god. It's over. [laughter]. We had to. >> What part would it have been though? What part would it have been for us as. Americans? like early on in the stages.

where we thought we were. >> I think somebody could have just said uh. you know could have just said like. >> World Cup fever. >> right before the Belgium game once that. red car guy got you know he uh Bagan. Buffalo Malagan got back in there we. were on top of the world we got our guy. we're going to beat the out of. Belgium right there that was the end. >> yeah we uh. >> that UNCC drive against uh TCU. >> oh that first one they're going to be. chasing that forever who knows who's. going to be there and boy they have not. relented on Lombardi over there at all. >> Hey, did you notice people hate this?

>> I had no idea. I I genuinely did not. because he comes on our show. He's got. an answer for everything. Guy's been. around. >> Exactly. >> I mean, loves us. >> That might be a part of the problem. >> I don't know. >> We got We got people saying that, you. know what? He should be picking up his. paycheck with a ski master. >> I saw that. >> Yeah. Terrible. Come on. >> Who was that? That was uh. >> Well, Bruce Feldman tweeted it from a. long form podcast that he did it. Again, I was shocked yesterday and I thought. maybe okay, one day this happens,

obviously it's going to be big news, come tomorrow, we're not gonna be. talking. >> Agreed. >> Well, I tell you what, >> people slept on it. >> Yeah, they did. They did. And they had. more ammunition, more firepower, and uh. yeah, outside of us, I don't think Lombo. has that many fans, and I I just I don't. get it. So, >> we have no idea what the investigation. is going to overturn. We'll obviously. continue to cover it, but boy, there's. been a lot of people that have been. celebrating, and I I I. >> He'll be exonerated. That's my guess. >> Me too, Bug. >> Okay, everybody's going on the record.

with that. >> And apart from some of the they're. putting, I don't like that. I don't like. it. >> Like what? >> It was a good song. >> I don't like it. >> It was a good song. >> That's all I was saying. >> Well, I think he thought he was maybe. getting a link to send somebody to say. this ain't good for society. Instead, he. hit the. >> He hit the. He was trying to send that to maybe a. prayer group. >> I actually repost some stuff, too. >> You You had. >> the new bud. Yeah. when it first came. out. >> It's a good song, >> but okay. I didn't know. >> But I mean, it's illegal like a butt.

>> I mean, come [laughter] on. >> It's the way it was. Nice. >> Anyways, whatever the case, we will. continue to follow. This is obviously. something that is uh involving an. investigation happening around there and. um reports being filed and we obviously. know. But boy, I'm telling you, I that's. been an eye openener for me and I'm. like, "What? Whoa, I didn't know that.". cuz he was coming on our show. >> Yeah. >> And always delivered for us. >> Always. >> A lot of other people saying, "Yeah,

we're about sick of the deliveries.". >> Exactly. >> All right. >> Keep our ear to the ground on all that. NFL training camps are back. College. football's right around the corner. >> Hell yeah. >> WNBA is starting the second half of. their season. >> Let's go play tonight. >> against Seattle. MLS has uh soccer. taking place and they're selling tickets. still, Gumpy. Soccer fever still taking. place in America, right? All-Star skills. competition tonight. They got the goalie. wars. It's always a banger. >> OH MAN, I WAS SUPPOSED to compete in. this year's one. Maybe next year. >> What is I actually might watch this.

>> Goalie goalie war is the best thing they. do. >> Yeah. >> It's like a skills competition. It's. pretty cool. >> Two nets uh 20 yards away from each. other. >> Ball goalies. You can punt it against. each other. You can shoot it. You can. score. And there you're competing. against each. >> goalie on goalie. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> You could throw it if you want. You can. do whatever you want. >> Yeah. I think it's like 20 yards apart, right? >> That's pretty cool. >> It's great. The mic should host that. >> The mic should host it. >> I assume the mic will be there. I I. assume the mic will be in between the. boys. >> Yeah. >> Saying goalie wars. This is.

awome. And then he'll SAY THE MIC OUT. And then. he'll drop the microphone. They'll say, "Sir, we got to get the microphone out. of the way of the goalie [laughter] wars. because this in the middle of the. field. >> The mic doesn't get the mic." You know, that'll probably be what take place. But. the goalie wars is awesome. It is. really. Then they have a skills. challenge as well where they're trying. to hit stuff, pass stuff, do things. Skills challenge soccer can be sweet and. normally is pretty sweet happening. tonight. Is Messi competing in this? >> No, he's on his 21day uh break after the. World Cup. The players have to take.

>> have to like the Packers guy. >> So, they can't suspend him for a game. this year because he missed it last. year. >> Okay, got it. >> We do have Bobby Bena though who is pro. maybe the second best player in the MLS. >> Bobby Buena. every game for LAFC. And we're not. talking like rinky dink goals. This. guy's putting it top shelf. >> This is the goalie wars here. >> Oh, sweet. >> Yes, this is goalie wars that be. happening tonight. >> This is a great idea. >> Great idea. It's They should actually. make this a league. >> Yeah, >> this is something to think about making. a league, especially if you're able to. get the World Cup goalies to compete in.

this cuz there's a lot of Moxy those. World Cup goalies. But yeah, some of. these guys get to showcase their legs. >> Yeah. [laughter] Throw. >> Yeah, it's awesome. And what do they. score? They're going to what? Uh Gumpy, what is it? Is it like penalties? They. each get a certain amount of attempts or. is it a minute? How does it work? I. think it's over attempts and then they. total score. >> It's sweet. It is uh it's fun thing. We'll watch the clip certainly. We'll. continue to have eyes on sports all over. the world for the good of sport is what. we try to do. And we can't thank all of. uh you. >> enough. If it wasn't for all of you,

>> we wouldn't have the greatest jobs. on earth. Thank you all so much. Hey, friend. Tell a friend something nice. It. might change your life. We're in this. thing together. Team on me. Team on. three. You're the greatest sport, baby. 1 2 3 Come.
