[Applause]. [Music]. hello beautiful people and Welcome to. our humble abow the Thunderdome on this. franchise tag deadline Tuesday March 4th. 2025 this program starts. now sport are happening all around us in. the NFL has a massive deadline today at. 4:00 we'll have Adam Scher join us in. the next hour to get the upto-date. information around the league on who's. getting franchise tag what player has.

played through their contract thought. they were going to hit a massive Payday. for longevity and maybe long-term. security for their family and is. actually getting told by their team you. ain't going nowhere you're with us for. another year brother that's how this is. going to go now the franchise tags have. already been out this particular cycle T. Higgins gets it for the second straight. year which means there was a bump in pay. of what the normal wide receiver. franchise tag is by 25% I do believe. because he was already franchise tagged. once this is his second time. interrogating franchise tag this is the.

last time they can franchise tag and. back in the day they used to be able to. franchise tag people one time two times. three times I think even four times. Julius Peppers got franchise taged three. times Adam veter got franchise tagged. three different times they've made a. rule that you can only do it twice T. Higgins he's in the second year of that. uh Osa oigi zua Osa o franchise tagged. by the Dallas Cowboys dog as a defensive. tackle excited to see how that works out. and then Trey Smith obviously offensive. lineman for the Chiefs they have an.

offens Al line question got to keep one. of their best guys in there a pillar of. everything and then it has come out. through various uh reports and insiders. Sam darnold Javon Holland and Chris. Godwin are not expected to be Tagged so. congrats to those three gentlemen. hitting the open market hope it pays. them mightily and who else will get. tagged around the NFL we'll keep track. of all that today we'll talk to Sher in. the second hour we'll also talk to Sham. shirani in the second hour sham shirani. a senior Insider for the NBA for ESPN. obviously coming on and talk about Kyrie. Irving for's ACL last night in again.

shot his free throws though tears. falling from his eye berries two free. throws and those will be the last two. shots of the year for he as this will do. it for Kyrie Irving's 2025 season down. there in Dallas obviously he picked up a. brand new teammate after losing Luca and. Anthony Davis Anthony Davis got hurt in. his debut game for the MAV after going. crazy he he did have a good start Kyrie. Irving now out for the rest of the year. and everybody's looking at the G named. Nico who got together with the.

conditioning staff and the nutritionist. and some other suits and somehow. convinced themselves that they were more. important than Luca donic to the Dallas. Mavericks shipped him out of town and. now the Dallas Mavericks are without. Kyrie which is a bummer for all of us. because watching Kyrie do his [ __ ] is. worth a watch all the time but Anthony. Davis not playing Kyrie now out and the. Mavs fans Mass Exodus yeah third quarter. this a even fourth quarter this is a. third quarter remember there was. protests about being sent out of town he.

was the face of that franchise this Nico. guy formerly of Nike I think was the one. that negotiated the deal with Anthony. Davis and with Nike I think he's also. the one that called Steph Curry uh uh. Steven maybe I I forget he messed up the. entire pitch for Steph Curry we've. learned a lot about this guy because boy. Mavericks fans hate this guy and a lot. of people around the NBA go this guy. might be the dumbest guy in the history. I think some people said he actually. might have a fetish for being uh. humiliated that is why he made this. decision I mean that's how far it went. with his general manager for the Dallas.

Mavericks now there's conspiracy. theories in abundance about the future. of this Mavericks team and I guess you. have to have that cono Mark Cuban sold. that team obviously last year we were. wondering what the deal was then we. heard maybe they were trying to get a. casino in town now the casino hasn't. been cleared are they trying to lose. down there in Dallas let's go to the. toic table at Boston Conor and at Tai. Schmidt it's getting loud on the. internet about them tanking and trying. to get kicked out of Dallas this is all. alleged but this is a very loud talking. point that we are not making up this is. just actually happening in the real. world right now yeah it's all alleged.

but the woman that bought the team from. Mark cubin I believe made a majority of. her money family money from casinos and. the first thing that she said basically. was okay like we're going to put a. casino hotel the entire thing a Patriots. Place which we see with the NFL you know. Jerry World obviously very profitable. you go you stay for an entire weekend a. week you got the hotel right next to the. place it's all right there next year. it's all the money you know in in one. place we see the top two teams in the.

NFL when it comes to revenue per home. game you know the C the Cowboys make you. know 70 plus mil per home game the. Patriots make 50 plus m per home game. because they own all the stuff around. the stadium that's where everyone is. that's where everyone spends their time. so one of the first things allegedly she. wanted to do was put a casino there. obviously hey that's not going to happen. oh okay I'm not allowed to do that I'm. going to move the team to Vegas cuz. that's where you know that allegedly. allegedly that's where well not. allegedly her stuff is you know there in.

Vegas but allegedly that was what the. threat was allegedly response no you. can't move the team from Dallas Dallas. is a staple the Mavericks in Texas. they've you know they've had success. recently both going to the finals and. then also Dirk nitzky you know beating. the the heatles not too recently you. know so uh that entire thing and then. allegedly after that entire hey no you. can't do this you can't move the team. you guys have a face of the NBA well no. we don't we don't we got them no we.

don't he's actually we got we got an. eybrow the NBA but he's not going to. play a lot of games we don't think what. the way it's going to go and he has a. chance we're not giving up no no no we. got Kyrie Anthony Davis new thing this. is for the future of the team but you. could see how the people who are you. know conspiring uh these ideas about. what's going on with the Mavs because. the decisions are being um looked at as. puzzling by everybody basketball brains. uh other people from outside like these. these dudes they're going to be making. decisions to try to get the hell out of. town try to make their fans hate them. and I'll tell you what it worked didn't. it are bailing on third quarter get us.

the hell out of here not all bad though. uh they are also raising ticket prices I. think 8 to 10% next year so that that is. a classic one too okay we don't have any. of your favorite players and you're. going to have to pay more money you. don't want to come right we can't move. tickets here anymore that is wild move. if that's the case what a uh heel. villain move oh yeah by new owner to. come in right underneath Mark Cuban's. nose because he's still a minority owner. and he still has those tickets you know. and he still at the games and he's. looking around like I'm just confused. everybody else feels like everything we.

may be built here is kind of crumbling. right in front of our eyes obviously. Kyrie's injury doesn't help with that. convo we are sending nothing but T's and. P's to Kyrie that sucks dude we are so. sorry and the Mavs fans Luc is doing it. in LA just go with Luca is absolutely. doing go in Los Angeles and uh Lakers. are now the number two seed in the West. and LeBron James is playing like he's 35. years old again somehow or 32 years old. whatever the case is even though he's 40. plus Luca feels right at home and of La. has embraced Luca and in this time with.

the fires and the devastation if the. Lakers were going on a run you're. talking about an entire city kind of. coming behind it I uh the NBA does have. some interesting story lines Brewing. right now uh one of them is Tyreese. halber is the greatest of all time so. let's never forget that with the Indiana. Pacers that's ninee NFL vet darus Jay. Butler he agrees that's I didn't know. that that was new man his numbers assist. turnovers been historic so yeah yeah I. mean West True Blood here uh Wesley for. name he said tyus Alber is one of the. greatest point guards I've ever seen I. clicked on Wesley's uh he is a Pacers.

fan so this guy is basketball follower. basketball lover Pacers fan since 2000 a. player recording at least 60 assists and. 10 or few turnovers in a six game. stretch has happened 196 times here's a. list of the most points scored during. those stretches oh tyres has all of them. Tyrese is the guy you want a facilitator. on the court Tyrese is humble enough to. do that you want a little flash he'll. certainly put it through his legs he's. not scared to do a full cord pass if he. has to and then he'll even do one of. these while the ball's flying through. the air Steph Curry has the no look. three point shot where he puts it up and.

then he turns around and walks away. Tyrese will do that with a fullt pass. and dude's got range he's pulling up. from the logo at this point Tyrese is. ready to lead this Pacers team to a deep. deep deep run in the playoffs so good. luck to everybody on the Eastern. Conference that includes the Celtics and. the Cavaliers and do the Knicks even. have a team nope uh what happened with. them they were the team last year. remember no no yeah they're very good. they're 40 and 20 they can't beat anyone. winning right okay so Celtics Cavs Nicks. Pacers sleep on the Pistons boys they're.

hot right now Buck bucks are also uh I. believe the Bucks are four then the. Pacers then the Pistons anyways we'll. talk to Shams about all this in the next. hour excited to hear his thoughts on. what's going on DIN and Dallas because. we're just reading the tea leaves on the. internet like we do with everything we. feel like we're actually more prepared. um than everybody else that comes on TV. with a teleprompter and has somebody. else type it up and tell them what to. say so that's neither here nor there. basketball is cooking baseball is. cooking remember we got bumped yesterday. for spring training and it was a great. game was it 66 in the ninth inning I.

think I want to say the uh the O's may. have walked off the Red Sox in the. bottom of the nth it was an unbelievable. game an unbelievable ended in a tie. actually 66 there go baseball baby. baseball's got a lot of soccer I didn't. know that I mean it makes sense spring. training Spring train uh NHL's happening. obviously Stadium Series this weekend. 9473 people packed the Horseshoe in. Columbus Ohio to watch the Blue Jackets. and the Red Wings do their thing so. we'll talk to Kirk herbstreet who was. there with Peter and family this weekend. in about five 10 minutes or so to get.

his thoughts on not only that but. everything Peter hold it down brother I. you know what I'm impressed by Peter he. didn't see a pucking just like. yeah yeah like uh you know Hotel. Transylvania sure do you know this movie. no know I just haven't seen it Adam Sor. movie it is on is a cartoon that's Sam. man is it a cartoon it's cartoon it's. animated he's Dracula sure obviously he. has a family his daughter is a monster. she falls in love Mary's a regular human. regular human and her have a kid.

obviously now Dracula is trying to make. kid monster I've watched four of them. brother Hotel Transylvania 1 Hotel. Transylvania 2 might be the best one. just you because it's after they. together like shre and then three and. four also uh very good Adam Sandler as. Dracula. just so good sure I don't even know how. to I don't know how I got into talking. about Hotel Transylvania strictly. because I went into a trance right there. that movie might be the best movie that. Adam Sandler has ever made I've watched.

it 400 times 400 times anyways they get. into a scene though where they're out in. public or out in the woods because uh. Dracula's trying to find the kids go out. and seea they're out in the real world. not in uh the forest that they live in. with the monsters and uh they have a. wolf with them one of the monsters is a. big bad wolf you know so they have the. monster Frankenstein hangs out with them. invisible man hangs out with them wolf. is one of them big bad wolf and big bad. wolf has to go out there and like scare. the [ __ ] out of somebody and somebody. throws a Frisbee and this wolf just gets. distracted and sprin gets frisbee. comebacks in the car has nothing for the.

people Adam Sandler has a line like. you're the big bed like it is a great. moment Peter not chasing those pucks is. maybe the most impressive thing that. I've seen out of Peter because he could. see them all night and Peter is a very. athletic very excitable dog from what I. have learned and uh great Pooch this. thing is strapping lad Connor obviously. has his own detail on him but Peter was. at the game the NHL and uh loved Peter. being at the game Herby was at the game. we'll talk to him about that we'll also. talk to about what's going on right now.

during the draft seon there's Jorge up. in the front there uh R1 obviously Big. Jake uh they got Zack there then you got. Chase here Michigan man in uh in uhmy. territory in enemy territory Jorge there. is a dentist and this kid I have no idea. who it is I I assume he's great kid good. smile on this kid where's Peter can we. get Peter in the photo Peter's On The. Ice I think chasing a puck I mean there. is a chance they had a great family. outing over there 94,000 people at a. hockey game is cool yeah that is a very. cool thing excited to hear his thoughts. on it all and obviously there was a lot.

of Ohio State um references in the game. it was a helmet there was a buckeye the. whole thing I'm excited to hear what. Herby thinks and then we'll talk about. what's going on in the NFL which leads. to one half of the hammer Cowboys AP. tone tone franchise tag deadline today. four o' who should we keep an eye out. what teams are making moves who is. really active right now around the NFL. yeah so one of the teams that we were I. was looking at specifically was the. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chris Godwin. now they they said they're not going to. tag him that but they are still going to.

try to get a deal done with him. obviously the Chiefs have tagged uh. their offensive line and and they're. talking about potentially getting a deal. done there um it's just it's a lot of. these things where like is Sam Sam. darnold going to get taged because you. know we talked about it uh a few weeks. ago we're like that would be that would. make the most sense for the Vikings. because because you tag Sam darnold you. get them at a good number if JJ McCarthy. is not ready yet that happens and you. could still trade Sam darnold if if. someone wants him bad enough you tag him. and trade him in a situ ation like that. those are those are really the teams.

that are mostly dealing with the tag. deadline right now okay so let's talk. about a player that was already tagged. and now has negotiated a long-term deal. Osa oh Digi zua has agreed on a 4-year. $80 million deal with 58 million. guaranteed $20 million signing buttons. congrats to Osa wow I believe Osa will. be joining our show in the next few days. sweet to chitchat about all this we do. not know him yet we cannot wait to meet. him but we do know he's a wealthy man. congrats Osa obviously you can Google uh. everything about him this guy as a d.

lineman for the Dallas Cowboys has been. a game record do get a lot of. conversation about him cuz Michael. Parsons is obviously over there Dallas. Cowboys crumble down a stretch they. don't play good Dak Prescott gets a lot. of chatter Jerry Jones gets a lot of. conversation what the hell is going on. in that building what are the Cowboys. and obviously the commanders have had. this incredible year the Philadelphia. Eagles are Super Bowl champ so whenever. you talk about the Dallas Cowboys. there's a lot of negative there's not a. lot of [ __ ] to get to this OA Ella never. chatted about obviously the Dallas. Cowboys appreciate his contribution. to the Cowboys $80 million deal for Osa.

what a game record Deb this is how the. free agency bag started off a couple. years ago started with a bunch of. interior guys interior offensive lineman. interior defensive lineman you got to be. able to stop the run and run the ball so. pay taking care of one of your guys. before the market even starts like to. see it in Dallas yeah and that can. happen with t Higgins T Higgins can also. get traded anybody that gets franchise. tagged today is still yep very much wide. out this is not a final 4:00 today the. 4:00 uh dead line is on the teams to. decide whether or not they want to have.

control over the next year of said. player now that money is guaranteed so. you have to put that money up in the. franchise tag and obviously you have to. account for it some teams have numerous. guys like there's a lot of players on. some teams that are ready to leave ready. to go there's some teams right now that. are dealing with a lot of players. wanting to be traded there's some teams. right now that are looking to trade. players because they have to pay some. players that leads to the San Francisco. 49ers they traded Debo to the Washington. commanders I think everybody loves that. we'll talk to Dan rovski in a third hour. today I heard him chat about how much he. loves this move for the commanders and.

for Debo but they're like auk is. potentially available we're in a very. busy time in the NFL right now yeah and. it's awesome just with all the fodder. around it like I remember when the. offseason started and tone wrote on his. whiteboard like the off season is the. best because there's so many. possibilities like T Higgins getting. tagged at first of course devastated. Patriots fan want T Higgins more than. anybody in free agency right now but. then I I decided you know what I'm only. gonna listen to what Adam schfer said. and Adam schfer said last week hey this. is going to happen with t Higgins.

getting franchise tagged and then teams. can come get him so as a Patriots fan. still very very excited but it's just. sweet now that we can start playing like. The Place game like especially with Sam. darnold Sam darnold going to be the QB. of the future for the Raiders and is Tom. Brady going to get in Sam darnold's. pocket and basically tell him exactly. where to throw the ball every single. game day with those cool meetings he. would do on Saturdays with Bill belich. is he going to now do that with Sam. darnold like the the possibility are. endless it really does feel like the NFL.

is still all the way at the Forefront of. talking you bring up Sam darnold he's a. massive piece of the conversation it's. almost like the darnold Domino now is. the next one that is going to fall in. the quarterback conversation now. allegedly that has been reported that. the Giants are in on Aaron Rogers are. they also in on Sam darnold is Sam. darnold open to going back to the. Minnesota Vikings because how great they. were all season until the final two. games now will he take a shorter uh like. kind of deal or a big time money deal. somewhere else I mean there is a lot of. convo around Sam Dar right now cuz we're.

chitchatting about him potentially. getting 50 million a year last year. without he was playing and he earned it. we love when guys have good years on. contract years he came in to kind of be. that bridge quarterback for JJ and play. out of his mind we're in draft season. now combine season and when Sam Darnell. was coming out he was kind of like the. bell of the ball when it came to draft a. lot of people thought he was going to be. the number one pick in that draft ended. up going number three didn't start off. how he wanted it to and then you get. with KC you get in this offense you get. the guy we we had on yesterday Justin. Jefferson and we kind of saw the best of.

what we can expect from this guy still. in the prime of his career very very. young and I think he will uh enter that. $50 million Club along with another guy. we were talking about uh when the Debo. Samuel deal went through uh here's the. guys who's making 50 plus right now in. the NFL and I would expect Sam Darnell. get up in that Bunch if he can get like. a nice three-year deal with after what. he's done and then Brock P out in San FR. we we definitely expect him uh to crack. this list you talk about getting rid of. Debo Samuel obviously you're expecting. that's going to be open up some money on.

the books for San FR for uh Brock to. probably get in that maybe $55 million. range up there between Jordan love and. Trevor Lawrence you look at this graphic. in the number one conversation that has. been around this number and how this. percentage of a salary cap to one. position has been you can't win a Super. Bowl I that Jaylen Herz Jaylen Herz did. it how about it Howie and the. Philadelphia Eagles were able to figure. out how to give a large percentage in. proportion to every other position of. the salary cap to a quarterback and. still build the best roster in football.

so just do what he does mind everybody. just do it how he does well cuz they. draft very well no yeah just do it how. he do yeah I mean I suppose you could do. that the pretty thing will be. interesting though that'll be very. interesting we talked about it a little. bit yesterday but there there's a chance. too like who who's say they could do the. kurk cousins thing like they could you. know he could pay play for like five. million this year whatever I think it. was like 5.1 million and then franchise. him two years in a row and then over the. course of three years they end up paying. him what like 97 million like he's not.

going to love that his agent's not going. to love that but if you're the ners like. that's a pretty good bargain for them as. well joining us now ladies and gentlemen. is a man who probably has a thought on. all of this uh he's got a big old brain. D he M huge he's got those baby blue. eyes oh man he's got skin like an. armadilla cuz he gets attacked a lot. needs it welcome to the club brother. I've been canceled three times since. coming back last week Wednesday a that. crazy not even full week back a. Thunderdome babyy welcome back I was.

having a time in my life on vacation so. oh this ain't bad you know I'm a guy. that loves working loves being active. start thinking about other things Big. Night Out date will be released in the. coming days okay and then tickets will. go on sale shortly after we are close to. a big night out in Pittsburgh an. unprecedented evening I believe is how. people would describe it after it's done. big laughs big singalongs massive. giveaways couple million dollars worth. big.

night joining us now ladies and. gentlemen is uh the face of college. football with both game day and the. Prime Time game on ESPN called the. national championship obviously called. the semi-finals he's also the man who uh. kicks off NFL weekends on Thursday night. with Amazon Prime ladies and gentlemen. front of the program Peter's Dad K KB. Street how you doing bu Bo how we doing. dude life is good man how about you life. good what are you getting what are what. are they coming after you for now after. your vacation uh well we alluded yeah.

yeah yeah yeah we alluded to a number. one story in the world that I think a. lot of these suits had no idea existed. because they don't do research all day. all night on the internet so then they. try to kill us never said a name said. allegedly even showed empathy because. that is an incredibly sad sad sad. situation but very real situation that. was happening in the world in which we. live and then obviously Canada booze our. national anthem like I do what I got to. do you know and then all of a sudden. that seems to be a fireable offense take. this guy off all microphones uh cuz he's. proud. to be in.

America yeah so you know it's a good. time fireable get him off there this. guy's going to put us into a permanent. political problem shut up dude you know. like this guy this guy's the worst. anyways nonetheless it's great to be. back love that we get to do this for a. living feels like we get treated the. same as everybody else that has a. microphone talks about sports it is an. honor to do it uh with that being said. draft season combine season franchise. tag season what's big conversation Sam. Darnell let's start there obviously you. get a chance to watch him both through.

college you watch his NFL career go the. way it goes you watch last year How It. Ends is a bummer because everybody was. waiting for that to happen with Sam. darnold seemingly even though their team. was 14 and two had a chance to be the. number one seed in the NFC had an. offense that was Dynamic all damn year. his last two games he doesn't play his. best football the Vikings don't play. their best ball and everybody says. that's who Sam Donald is we go from him. making 50 million a year in this world. to what's this going to look like for. Sam what are your thoughts thoughts on. Sam darnold and what do you think about. the rest of the quarterback Market Herby.

well I think it starts with JJ you know. if JJ McCarthy is not there then and I. think this is a totally different. discussion and and I think when you have. a year the way he enjoyed last year with. KOC who's has an offensive system that's. very quarterback friendly um he was able. to flourish not to mention obviously the. ability that was around him but I think. you know you talk to KOC who to me is. one of the one of the great guys to talk. to when it just comes to just talking. ball with him I mean how much does he.

love JJ. McCarthy after the year that that Sam. just had in a in a time right now where. let's face it if you don't have the guy. you have no shot at the postseason he's. got a guy but I think it sounds like. based on if you're reading the tea. leaves that they're going to go back to. JJ McCarthy because they had such big. visions of what he could become and. you I it's it's incredible uh but that I.

think that tells you if that's the route. they go how much confidence and where. this offense potentially can go maybe. where the franchise can go with JJ. McCarthy so I think he's the wild card. in all this if he's not there I think. it's Nob brainer you resign Sam uh what. do we have about six or seven teams. right now that desperately need a. quarterback Pittsburgh Giants Raiders. Brown Jets Titans Jets Jets I mean thr. the Saints in there I mean d Derek.

Carr's got another few years but you. know they're going to eventually unless. they think Rattler's their guy um there. there are a bunch of teams out there. that could use Sam darnold and and you. know there's never been a knock on Sam. darnold's ability to throw a football. ever I mean that that's his physical. skill set that's what makes the timing. of this conversation interesting you. know a lot of people put so much into. these workout will Howard it's like. everything he did oh no this year on the. field it's like he had a terrible.

workout he's trash it's like geez you. know I mean it's amazing how it we look. at this position we forget that it's the. ability to process it's the buil the. intangibles the leadership decision. making that is tfold can you hit an. outcut to a receiver you've never thrown. to at the combine and yet we just we put. so much into what you do at the combine. and what you do at a out vers what you. do when you wear shoulder pads and a.

helmet and your ability to be able to. read the coverage and and make good. decisions so um darnold was able to show. that last up up to that point he's not. been consistent in that uh in in in that. skill set as being able to to Really. break down a defense and have quick. decisions and know where the ball needs. to go and put it out there accurately. and and he put that on display and he's. going to be the beneficiary of that so. um that's exciting that's that's great. for him and now we got to look at all.

these rookies and most of these. quarterbacks wouldn't you say if they. were coming out last year oh yeah I. don't know if they're up there at one. and two yeah that's been that's been the. narrative going into the combine and. then coming out I don't think anybody. has really changed anything cam Ward. obviously a superstar Talent great. leader down there in Miami I think a lot. of people are hoping shador Sanders uh. obviously is held in high regard a lot. of people talking a lot of things there. were some reports coming out that some. people in meetings didn't feel like. shador was as invested or something like.

that shador also just always has like a. shador is always like this it feels like. he's been in the spotlight since he's. what Junior High probably so he has. probably built up a callous to having. him over emotional they Pro I think they. probably know what's happening already. it feels like the Sanders's might. already have a heads up on what's taking. place with him if not he feels. comfortable enough whenever he gets in a. building to go but yes to your point. last year's draft class was absurd and. they ended up performing in an absurd. fashion which leads to JJ uh back to the.

Minnesota Vikings with JJ McCarthy we've. always said it feels like the coach of. the year Kevin oconnell can drop a play. for uh if you can throw a football feels. like you can be a quarterback for that. particular team JJ we know can spin it. we know JJ is an incredible leader we. know JJ is beloved by his teammates but. we have no idea if JJ can read NFL. defenses we have no idea what this. entire thing is so in my eyes they. probably want to vet for another year. you know just to see if JJ's ready or if. he's a guy cuz I don't know how much he. was in the building but is it going to.

be a guy that's worth as much as Sam. Donal I'm not 100% sure and what do Sam. Don worth I those are all fair those are. all fair thoughts I just give a lot of. credit to koc's ability to evaluate. quarterbacks and ability to to if he's. willing to let go of Sam darnold if in. fact that's the direction they go you. know think about what Kirk Cousins did. at his age in that offense. and now picture KK cousins at 23 or 24.

with Mobility like I you know we get. around these guys in college JJ got it. what what what JJ McCarthy did got it. for Michigan to get them over the hump. in 21 he now he was the quarterback and. there was there was a great defense and. a lot of great players on that team but. he gets them over the hump where they. beat Ohio State in 21 gets them to the. playoffs where they get embarrassed by. Georgia come back to I'm sorry that that.

year they ended up losing to TCU in a. game they should have won you guys. remember that one yeah TCU gets. embarrassed think of that three-year run. beat Ohio State lose to Georgia beat. Ohio State get to the playoff probably. should have beat TCU should have been in. the national championship come back the. very next year and get it all done. that's on his back that that's him doing. that and I I just I you never know with. quarterbacks but watching these guys and.

watching the intangibles putting KOC. with JJ McCarthy and the talent on that. roster to me the Vikings go to another. level with JJ McCarthy and what I think. he can do in that off get better with JJ. saying hey what are we talking about and. also save a lot of money to build up. that roster because you've already spent. money on Justin Jefferson another JJ. who's obviously phenomenal he was on our. show yesterday love that man great I. would like to let quy you would like to. trade him to Indie I don't know if I.

have the power to make those decisions. but how how's how things going in Indie. right now with you and the Cults and the. boys I shook Chris Ballard's hand talk. to Chris balard down at the down at the. combine I talked to Shane go I just told. him I thought his locker room was crap. you know I I think that was his fault I. didn't think it was his fault I just. think like the players that are in that. locker room he probably had Faith would. be professionals and a lot of them. aren't you know so like I don't put that. on him but kind of though you know like. that is the I I feel like that the.

players should show up for your team a. lot more than they do especially with. everything we were hearing well when you. play when you play didn't happen heard a. lot a lot of lot about not just the. Colts obviously heard a lot of stuff. that's like this is not professional. guys all those guys came back they had. their reunion if that type of guy if. they witness what was happening. allegedly in this locker room that. you're saying yeah how would that be. handled would that be handled by Tony. would that be handled by the players no.

yeah that's that's players that's that. is like a lot of this [ __ ] is locker. room stuff like anytime you hear coaches. go like the team needs to be led by the. locker room like the locker room needs. to lead it it's because like the coach. can say something obviously but if the. coach can't reach the person in the. first meeting like here's the. expectations it's like the players have. to hold each other accountable is my. thoughts which is why I said the way I. said the things I was saying about the. Colts is like hey this is on your locker. room that this stuff is happening like. and I don't know if they took that. you're getting a phone call from the. Indianapolis Colts locker room right now.

don't listen to him don't listen to him. yeah he's he's lying he's lying he's. lying but it's like the things we've. heard it's like it feels like there has. to be some sort of leadership in that. locker room room going hey that ain't. how we roll around here and that's how. it would have been like when I got in. trouble obviously everybody was happy. that was okay but immediately I got a. bunch of texts from all the ogs that are. like hey you're blowing it brother like. this is not this is a this is your life. this is like everything but also this is. not how we operate over here like you. need to clean your [ __ ] up you know like. it was like uh like a Stern talking to. almost but but isn't that the case in.

team sports like the elite teams have. what you're describing yes they exactly. and we have enough talent in. Indianapolis like the talent is in. abundance we've paid so many people. there's a lot of experience it's like. but in a locker room just letting people. get away with [ __ ] like that is well who. who are the guys potentially on that. roster that could provide that well you. can just look at the people that have. been paid second contracts almost. completely through it that have been. here since the beginning it's like but. one of them for 3 weeks was Patton at. the beginning this entire thing and it's. like that sets a standard and it's like.

just continues to go but with that being. said everything can change boys take can. change you you guys still go to the. games right you guys dialed in next year. okay yeah harby all right let's move. along don't know about that let's move. along we heard it's not just the Colts. by the way also at the combine heard. that it is a I don't want to see an. epidemic but there's a lot of teams that. are operating in ways that you don't. think professional athlet should be. operating if you have a good culture. right now I think that is not rare. that's rare that's a great that's a. great thing instead of us complain. because it's in college football.

obviously too with niio on the portal so. instead of saying if I'm a franchise if. I'm a GM or and I'm an owner instead of. complaining. about. fsbs up do a thumbs up do a thumbs up. double thumbs up. yeah you been dancing over there you and.

AI kind of tag team in this interview I. appreciate that why did the fireworks go. off because we're celebrating you making. a great point about team culture it. sounded like coming out of this combine. that that what that I'm saying if you're. an owner or a GM and you're you're. dealing with these players that are. coming in it's a very different deal. than you're used to to me isn't. that like look at Ohio State or look at. Notre Dame or look at these teams that. are trying to figure it out in college. can't you can't you separate yourself.

now by finding those guys they're out. there so if I'm a if I'm a GM I'm not. just going to Indie and I'm clicking to. 40 and I'm oh you got a 40inch vertical. this is great like aren't you trying to. get to know these guys and trying to. build a locker room instead of just. worrying about having an All-Star team. with a bunch of physical freaks like I. think it's more of an opportunity to. separate yourself by finding the right. di to to kind of nip in the bud what. you're describing sounds like it's going.

on in Indianapolis right now yeah. because everybody's going to make. mistakes obviously that happens these. people are growing with money they're in. the spotlight but it's like getting. everybody to be going in the same. direction and caring about team and just. feeling feeling is if you care at least. like at least portray that you care that. you are look at Justin Jefferson who you. talked to yesterday it was a great. interview thank you I've watched him. since this guy was like a zero star one. star he had older brothers that went to. LSU's brother was quarterback and he. wasn't highly touted and he he really.

developed and made himself with that. competitive spirit that he has the. player that he became at LSU with Jamar. on one side him on the other I mean it. was ridiculous in 19 with burrow. throwing to him and if you watch him at. times at LSU you could see if you didn't. know him his wiring and you didn't meet. him if he didn't get the ball early in a. game you you could see hey is this guy. selfish is he worried about himself but. once you get to know him and you watch. him and listen to him talking yesterday. this guy's competitive spirit is unique.

and he's dialed in does he get. frustrated at time sure but he's dialed. in on the game plan he knows what. they're trying to do and when it doesn't. happen he's not saying give me the damn. ball like you know we we're winning but. I'm not getting my catches this guy. dialed in on winning the game and what. it takes to win the game Let's execute. let's execute yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. I'm guessing if things aren't going. right because they're losing the game. he's on the sideline talking to guys. about what we need to do to win and. compete see that's gold right now to a.

franchise and you just got to find them. you got to find those dudes that are. that are willing to bring more than just. their physical ability when we talked to. Harbaugh and hortiz it was like that's. all we're looking for basically talked. to McVey yesterday what are you looking. for dogs that's all we're looking for. you look at the Kansas City Chiefs I. assume they're going to bring in dogs. Bean people that buy in Bean at the. bills all he's looking for people that. buy into the team and be dogs it's like. the teams who are good know you know it. seems like the teams that are good now. in Philadelphia Eagles I mean they have.

literally do all they care about is like. we care Detroit liono all these teams. that are good seemingly have a very. similar thing happening and all the. other teams have something else going on. maybe would throw maybe we VES Ravens. Ravens VES will bring it to New England. okay on that note Connor has a question. for you yeah Herby uh Vel obviously. getting hired in New England basically. the biggest hire the first hire of the. entire cycle how do you feel about that. and then some of the other guys as well.

Glenn to the Jets you know Pete Caroll. to the Raiders do you feel as though. kind of that tough culture is coming. back a little bit and are you expecting. the Patriots to win 14 15 games like I. am or where you at with them and Drake. May well I think we all know Braves we. we all know his wiring um you know I I. always wondered even when he was at. Tennessee is he going to end up back in. New England at some point and and. replace bill bich I think we all kind of. thought as he became more and more. successful in Tennessee that that was.

going to be potentially something could. happen down the road it's a natural fit. um I'm sure I I haven't spoken to him uh. lately but I bet you like any of us. because of the experience that he had in. Tennessee the way it went down he had a. chance to kind of regroup and in. Cleveland kind of on the back burner and. a chance to really grow and and continue. to become a guy that can relate to what. we're talking about if anybody. understands what we're talking about. it's Mike Vel I mean VES got it as a.

player he had that his experience in. college and of course in in the NFL when. he got eventually to New England and uh. he understands the value in that and and. he's very very good at being able to. relate to these guys still see him put. the pads on and hit dudes um I I I try. not to be super biased towards Vel. because I'm a huge fan of his I've known. him since he was 18 years old but I I. have a ton of faith that who knows how. many games are going to. win yeah we're talking he's packing both.

sides and the top have a and then doing. this and then he'll race you and he'll. beat you too like that is the his wife. Jen will whip your ass too so I mean the. whole deal I mean they just oh hell yeah. such an Ohio family isn't it thisable. family now New England they are uh. they're taking Ohio now they're New. England family uh I'm excited to watch. rames up there he was already you know. making the rounds he did uh there was a. reading Day a national reading day went. to a local school and was reading big. Applause handshake obviously he loves.

the community he's probably done a lot. with that community in the past remember. whenever he went into the Ring of Honor. the hall of fame or whatever it is he. said do not take this for granted how. special all this say is that was. basically allegedly the get this guy out. of our building says the Tennessee. Titans people so I think he's eager to. get back there eager to turn the. franchise back around eager to make him. a contender again and I think he loves. the community I think he loves the team. I think he loves everything about and. remember you don't want to be the guy. that replac you know the guy that has to. be the guy that steps in after Bill bich.

you want to be the guy that replaced the. guy yeah that's always a good place. that's a good place yeah I think the. timing of this is outstanding and New. England obviously has to be kind of they. got to be thrilled with you know. bringing one of the boys back yeah uh to. bring him back to the glory years yeah. he's actually trying to find a vabel. quote to put on the other bicep at this. point that that's coming that might even. be a tricep I mean it was just shocking. like as soon as like Mayo gets fired. immediately after that game the first. thought is holy [ __ ] they're really.

going to bring Vel back and then for it. to happen the way it does yeah it was. like it was talked about for like two. three weeks there leading into the end. of the season like yo vel's coming back. yeah vel's coming back vel's coming back. by the way the Aon Glenn I just spent a. lot of time with him doing these Lions. games and get some one-on-one time with. him and and then hearing the story about. how he hey I'm a former player like a. lot of these guys now they're former. players they want to step in and be like. Dion or like Eddie George they want to. become the head coach Aaron Glenn. intentionally went basically to the. bottom and worked himself all the way up.

and learned every aspect of the. franchise to One Day become a qualified. in his mind a qualified head coach I. just really respect phenomenal player. maybe could have had hey you know who I. am I'm a pro bowler right let me start. as a secondary coach but he kind of. worked his way up paid his dues was a. big part of that Detroit ability to turn. that franchise around witnessed it I'm. excited to see what he can do I mean. he's going to black hole as far as. trying to win yeah that's where that was.

my next question that was my next. question so you think the Jets. organization can win is what it sounds. like if you're if everything you're. saying with Aaron Glenn everything he. did in Detroit it's like okay so wearing. that Jersey you can win if you let him. if you let if you let him bring in what. he learned and the ownership is his. hands off and you're just going to let. this guy do his thing with the new front. office then yeah I I think they can I do. wonder what Brick's gonna learn from. Aaron glinton because you talk about.

like this getting a chance to teach him. experience everything yeah well you're. talking about brick learn or teach up AG. on what it's like to be a jet air in. final level get your masters from brick. I understand that brick could probably. share some information with Aaron Glenn. the new head coach brick Johnson's who. were talking about Woody Johnson's son. who gave out game bows after the game. New York Times reported that not us. we're just telling you what was being. said we have not got that confirmed from. asking in uh the lock room strictly. because we don't want to have the uh. embarrassment of your organization get. the actual story of it so with that.

being said Woody has allegedly come out. and said uh I I have to learn to be a. better owner as well brick wasn't around. locker room I guess the last few weeks. so maybe maybe the Jets are making a. turn good luck to the Jets good luck to. the Jets good luck to CU we're riding. with you and the last one is pety Caroll. coming back how great is that I mean. that's wonderful honestly he got kicked. out of Seattle Herby he got kicked out. he said he went in there and fought for. his job remember he said like 4 hours or. something I competed for my job yeah but.

you know maybe you it's so hard to. sustain you know when you I don't know. how many years how many years would see. there 10 12 I I can't remember how many. years yeah like 15 maybe you know you. get to that 10 year mark it it's really. hard to keep it going so maybe they. maybe Seattle just felt no matter how. much they loved him they needed to start. fresh I'm just glad to see I thought. maybe that was it for him I'm glad to. see he still has that fire he's coming. back hires chip Kelly is the OC we all. know about Max and what he brings on the.

defensive side um this this is a I think. a franchise all of us want to kind of. see get back to to being the kind of. franchise that they can be and hopefully. Pete Carroll can do it big problem is. obviously who quack yeah Tom Brady at. ownership and obviously Tom Brady very. Hands-On from what we're hearing Tom. Brady is very very very very very very. active we're talking about everyday. phone calls long conversations would you. expect anything. I mean if he's going to put his money up. there so I thought I did expect less.

actually because like minority owners in. the NFL you don't really hear much from. minority owners in the NFL you only hear. about whenever they become majority. owners in other places and the reason. why a lot of people become minority. owners in teams is to prove to the NFL. that you're willing to get into their. league we understand what it is and then. hopefully you get an opportunity to. become a majority owner somewhere else. terer was with the Steelers Harris was. somewhere like there is a lot of this. that takes place so you very rarely hear. about minority owns getting their hands. in. in hand he want seven rings I mean bring.

him in I agree see AI agrees AI does. agree but I um I don't think I expected. it to because nobody's ever done it but. then once you hear like hey Tom Brady's. the one doing the interviews it's like. that makes sense like if you have if you. have the capability for Tom Brady to do. the interviews you should do that hey. Tom Brady is like dayto day keeping up. on everything it's like that makes sense. if you have Tom Brady doing all those. things so if you have a quarterback you. would assume Tom Brady will help in the. entire process we will help every aspect. of any franchise you know I mean let let.

him in there and and how he works with. Pete is interesting right and and that. whole dynamic Chip Kelly too the offense. coordinator I mean there's there's a lot. and they're saying Russell Wilson maybe. Justin Fields maybe get a veteran. quarterback in there that you can pay. not as much as everybody else then maybe. you still draft shador who obviously. very tight with Tom Brady and Mark Davis. and they're in the top 10 so I mean. there's a lot on the table for the Las. Vegas Raiders but Tom Brady being. handson to your point with seven rings.

good news for the Raiders hopefully the. same for the Jets speaking at the Jets. they have a quarterback conversation. happening as well go ahead Ty yeah Herby. the first thing the Jets did was uh they. basically anyone who had any ties to. Aaron Rogers they said get the hell out. of here we're done we're not doing this. again this is a great no ultimatum. though yeah no ultimatum obviously you. can do what you want you're just not. going to [ __ ] do it here so you know. get out of town but we've heard now uh. in the the coming or the couple weeks. that like the the Giants after they lost. out on Matthew Stafford they're full.

bore on wanton Rogers it seems like. that's kind of the only option if he. does want to play right away barring. what might happen elsewhere like we just. saw the Raiders aren't necessarily. interested in him in your opinion what. do you think Rogers is going to do this. next year I mean you guys would know. better than anybody based on you guys. being around him as much as you are I I. got to believe that now that he's fully. healthy that his mind he can still. execute and make plays and and lead a.

team to victories and eventually get him. into the postseason if he feels that way. um you got to think we just went over. the list of teams that are out there. don't you think somebody is willing to. take a chance and and give him a shot to. prove what he can be um you know at this. stage his career after what happened. with the injury and what happened last. year with the Jets we just couldn't get. going I think people that are evaluating. it they're valuating it on how much of. that falls on him how much of that falls.

on the franchise as a whole um but man. it's still Aaron Rodgers and you watch. quarterback play every week in this. league and you think a guy like Aaron. roggers what is he 41 now um if he's. healthy and he's 100% and he's all in uh. you got to think somebody out there is. going to be willing to give him a shot. and and show what he can do if the. Giants are already basically saying. allegedly allegedly yeah it's all up to. that's a big decision whether or not he. wants to come back and play and sign up. for it and maybe the last three games.

four games where they were balling and. being everything that we all thought. they were going to be for their entirety. at the Jets with that offense maybe. that's enough for him to go out and say. yeah I could still do it if I had to but. I'm good you know I play great at the. end I prove people I could still get. back from an Achilles injury we had some. success but in my eyes there's no way. what's your guys all what's all your gut. what's Your Gut feel is he play next. year I think he plays next year yeah. just strictly because anytime this. situation has aose is that the proper. word yeah AR Rose.

uh look that one rose such a clatter I. believe is from the Santa Claus uh yeah. it's when. the yeah right there where he comes. where he comes down there you know. anytime these situations have a rose in. the past uh AJ Hawk who is yeah very. tight with Aaron goes like I don't know. what what what else would Aaron yes. Aaron's going to play football is what. AJ always says even though Aaron has not. told AJ and I think everybody that's. around Aaron assumes that like that. decision could you know that could go.

very easily both ways you watch an. enigma and I think you know greeny has. and the world has and you learn a lot. about this man who I think has been. misunderstood and misrepresented by a. lot of people for a very long time I. think he's a hippie who's super. competitive and obviously goes about. doing his business how he does it. everything he does though the I Wasa the. darkness Retreat that is for him to. become a better football player he's. trying to work on himself to become the. best version of himself to become a. better football player and obviously a. lot of ridicule comes to him about not. being married not having a kids yada.

yada he's a ball player this guy. literally loves ball he's an old school. football player still has the loose. strap that he undo every single time. getting hurt and still playing is a big. deal for him so like I think a lot of. people don't really judge him by who he. actually is they judge him by what they. hear about him from other people who. don't know him and with that being said. he is one of the most competitive people. on Earth the reason why he loves the NFL. is because it's an ability to scratch. the competitive itch that he's always. going to have for his entire life I. assume and he won't say this and he.

obviously doesn't think this is the case. but like when he gets into golf at some. point when he retires he's going to get. very very very good at golf he's going. to get very locked in at golf because. right now he'll play twice a year and. he'll end up shooting 73 74 like he's. going to be one of those guys who's he. doesn't think this because he is a. hippie plays guitar does the traveling. likes to do a lot of inner uh. perspective searching and everything. like that that competitive drive that he. has is going to he's going to have to. get into something and he knows if it's. not football deep down he knows if it's.

not football it's going to be something. else so I think the ability to still. play football at the level that he has. with the bad taste in his mouth with how. the Jets R because I think he wanted to. bring a parade to New York I think he. was very he took a lot of pride in being. the one that was going to do it so I. think he still has bad taste in his mou. I think he plays football again I don't. know where the hell it's going to be uh. the Giants allegedly are you guys going. to be allowed to interview him if he. does play I I read something you guys. weren't allowed to it was part of the. deal what do you got there for me. there's ultimatum allegedly from scoop. town uh that there was an ultimatum made.

to him that if he wanted to come back. and play for the Jets he was going to. have to stop doing our show and once. again it never ends it just never ends. and then the GM comes out yeah that's. [ __ ] we moving on regardless it. wasn't like he said we not doing the. show so who knows we're cool with. whatever we've been very lucky that uh. we've got a chance to chat with him we. all enjoy that we all enjoy those weekly. interviews not everybody not everybody. not everybody enjoys oh I don't agree. with his opinion get him off a. microphone that is uh is how some people.

operate you know you get you get some of. that uh yeah I've gone on some rides uh. stays the number two seed in the room at. getting. heat um I think Connor pretty good. Connor Connor's pretty good you get some. stuff yeah but I don't I don't see any. of it I can't really read very well so. yeah so he just keeps it mov doesn't. even matter you know I think Conor. probably good at get he other than that. it's just you know we're up here having. a conversation you know based in reality.

okay with some jokes in between we're. just joking we're just hey and also. informing yeah which leads to this um. now let's stick with the NFL let's stick. with the NFL before we move to other. topics uh with that being said there is. a man who hosts everything DB good D bad. D who has a question about these. prospects that you would know more about. than us he but representing Compton. Country Club question for you yep got to. ask you cuz I'm sure you called a bunch. of these guys' game and I every year I. feel like it's a a rookie DB Corner that. hits the ground running this past year.

was uh Quan Mitchell out in Philly also. ker deine in the slot who this year do. you think will be uh that guy cuz we had. some great performances at the combine. Harriston he flew out of Kentucky uh. Baron I feel like he tested much better. than I thought he would and he's played. all over the defensive backfield will. Johnson a phenomenal Corner out of. Michigan who's that corner that DB that. you think will hit the ground running. and take the NFL by storm this year I. think it's j Baron that'd be my had a. great. combine did he yeah I saw he ran well he.

did he he worked out which was fun to. see these guys uh some of these guys opt. out for obvious reasons this guy decided. to go out and compete um I I just I. covered this guy a lot probably called. over I don't know 11 or 12 of his games. and I I love to see a guy and you. understand this better than anybody one. one year he's out there playing playing. that slot and playing it as well anybody. and when you say that to people who are. fans when you play the slot it's not.

just okay he's on the inside I mean he's. in run support he's blitzing he's. playing in space he's playing man I mean. the versatility is off the charts with. him and then you know the next year he. comes back and he's on the outside and. maybe you can explain in layman's terms. how hard that is at the elite college. football and NFL level to have the skill. set to play both in and out but he did. it flawlessly and he's got some great. intangibles great leader Captain so not.

only the numbers are going to jump out. but he's played in a lot of big games at. the highest level and uh like I said the. versatility is what makes me think he's. got a shot to really step in year one in. the NFL and be TurnKey yeah that's I. mean that's really really really tough. to do to go from that inside and go. outside and he won not he didn't just go. out there and Excel he won the Thorp. award this year but yeah so on the out. side you have that sideline kind of as. your friend but outside of that you're. pretty much oneon-one in an island if.

you're in any type of manto man. situation and when you're in that inside. you got space to your inside Space to. your outside got to communicate with. your linebackers play The Run game just. completely uh different position I love. this guy and everything he's done on the. football field as well he kind of. reminds me of like a like a Malcolm. Jenkins he was a guy that was the top. Corner in my class when we came out but. you didn't know if he was going to play. safety if he was going to play in the. spot and once he got to the NFL he. pretty much did it all won a couple. Super Bowls. as well so I see a lot a lot of. similarities with Baron and uh Malcolm.

Jenkins Herby you know this debu played. all over the place in the box outside in. the back you got to that's a mentality. thing too you got to commit to studying. got to commit to a lot of studying. because you got to know a lot of. different jobs and you got to commit to. a physicality you know that not. everybody is able to do at that. communicate too that's why what Cooper. de was able to do uh in you know o wise. he he was in the slot slot corner you. got to be able to communicate with the. backers with the safety with the corners. and play fast man it's tough in it were. they able to understand uh his language.

he was speaking out there yeah this guy. seems to be speaking a different. language what's this. hey. speak he got he got you know he was. locked in he was D in exciting whites. are quite a Duo over there really they. might be the only ones left yeah in the. secondary after Riley Moss other side of. Pat it's pretty much you just look at. Iowa they. got all you can handle White. secondary exactly hold on they got that. white track guy too ran a 42 or.

something like that or 4-1 what was that. half yeah I don't remember what I don't. know what he did I don't think he won a. big 10 Championship so KK Fen saw him. and said get that guy off our field he's. too explosive he can't get that guy in. end round guy's running 4-1 on the. [ __ ] field no we tried to you guys. can't get a first down no yeah well we. put Cooper jeene on offense and he broke. his [ __ ] foot and missed the Big 10. Championship so we said enough of this. [ __ ] all right let's just run the ball. up the middle three times and then punt. tell you if he's if he's out there you. had shot against Michigan that year I. think so I think.

so I think. so this guy's now the father of Michigan. man never forget it he start showing. some respect uh last question here. before our heart out from AP tone yeah. Herby uh six quarterbacks were drafted. in the first round uh last year I. believe we know for sure two are going. to be this year the question is is there. going to be a third do you have a third. guy that you like the most I mean. Jackson Dart threw well at the combine. Quinn threw well at the combine Brady. cook through well Tyler Shu threw well. the combine will was you know will did.

better he got better um is there a guy. you like third he talking about well he. started he didn't know those guys well. yeah neither did the other guys Kirby. well they're used to throwing to 49s. okay geez Louise I I uh I would probably. give Jackson Dart the the nod um you. know he started his career at USC before. he transferred over to Old Miss uh I. think he's got a presence he's got an. offense that I think that's the thing I. really want to see with him is is the.

ability to be able to show what he can. do when it comes to what we talked about. earlier with JJ McCarthy not just. throwing a ball around um but being able. to go to that next level with how. sophisticated these NFL offenses are. being able to read coverage being able. to get the ball out uh whether you're. under Center whether you're in gun um. and I think you know he he obviously. helped himself with with what he did in. this this past week but I think his game. film like to be able to go up into the. first round they're going to really. study every aspect of his game when it.

comes to can he be that franchise guy. and I think uh you know one thing about. Old Miss dude I didn't know he could. scoot like that I didn't know scoot dude. he's an athlete he he really I mean he. can go he'll surprise you you know Tyler. struck's the other one that a lot of. people are fired up about um and he's. another guy who's who sneaky athletic. ability because of his size you wouldn't. think but he started he started at. Oregon had tremendous ability to create.

in that Joe Morehead offense um so yeah. he's another guy that I think will get. up there evaluated and Jeff Braum we. know what he can do with quarterback so. I it only benefited him from being at. Louisville and throwing it around over. there okay before we get out of here. about 30 seconds how awesome was that. Stadium Series game for your Columbus. Blue Jackets versus the Detroit Red. Wings in front of. 94,3 people in one dog well first of all. me meaningful gam they played on. Thursday night two points on on the line. jackets got that one up in Detroit came.

back home 94,000 over 94,000 I've been. there hundreds of times it was just. surreal to see a ice rink in the middle. of that Stadium to see the way the the. Blue Jackets fans to me a great fan base. come out and support this team this team. hadn't been good for six or seven years. and they finally got a young nucleus. through the draft it's kind of starting. to gel together at the right time. they're kind of dangerous team and it's. cool to see that many people come out. and support them and then go out and get.

two more points which are critical right. now chasing this uh these Wild Card. spots congrats to your blue jackings. being uh relevant again you know and uh. I I didn't know if they're going to be. able to fill up that Stadium because of. how bad they had been that place filled. up it looked wonderful it was cold the. ice was great the game was magic uh. congrats to hockey you know from canadae. that's a good thing out of Canada there. we go good job love hockey love hockey. love.

them I think I answer to the Media. Partners I think I answer the players I. think I answer the owners too the idea. for me is to try to keep everyone happy. I always say that my biggest job is not. to piss off more than 24 owners in a. given. deck how did you know the draft would be. awesome if you traveled it and did you. see this happening I'd be kidding you if. I thought it was going to be as big as. it is we felt like we could be bigger. than we were in Radio City but what. happened is Radio City actually put a. holiday show and said you can't have the. draft until June wow and that's when we. said we're out of here so they K you out.

that's when we went on the road Taylor. Swift we know that's a different kind of. influence how about Hey listen a lot of. jokes are Taylor yeah you can't you. can't you. can't yeah you're going to be a part of. an app do it get get get a little louder. she is going to cook you a lot of the. internet was saying Roger gell sting at. home through the moon about this well. they thought it was part of the script. yes talk to it it is is there a thought. of adding another one maybe adding. another bye or are we good at 17 right.

now well I I think we're good at 17 now. but listen we're looking at how we. continue I'm not a fan of the preseason. I I don't think we need PR waste of time. right and energy I just I don't buy it. and I don't think these guys like it. either well they have to full spend full. price for the tickets for those games no. they're actually discounted now so thank. you for doing I'd rather replace a. preseason game with a Rego season any. day that's just picking quality right if. we got to 18 and2 that's not an. unreasonable thing the other thing it. does which I thought you were going to. is that ends up on President's Day. weekend which is a 3-day weekend which.

makes the Sunday night and then you have. Monday off so that's wow now now we now. we're cooking the following program is a. collection of stoes talking about. happenings in the sports world it is. meant to be comedic informative the. opinions expressed on this show do not. necessarily reflect the beliefs of their. peers their boss or ESPN there may be. some cuss words because that's how. Cubans is the real world talk if you are. a young please seek permission before.

[Applause].

[Music]. life hello beautiful people and welcome. back to our humble AB the sun no on this. franchise tag deadline Tuesday March 4th. 2025 hour two of the program starts. now sports are fantastic and we're lucky. to talk about them every single day we. can't thank you enough for allowing us. to do this for a living currently on. ESPN 2 ESPN Plus Disney plus uh Tik Tok. live and YouTube it is an a dream come.

true to be able to do this every single. day a lot of great things get said about. me and our program on a regular basis. and those are fun to read as well you. know you look in the mirror and you say. those people are right you're the worst. person on Earth but you get to have a. dream job of talking about Sports Talk. tables here at Boston Connor and at Tai. Schmidt con man franchise tag deadline. today 4:00 this is going to clear the. waters a little bit for free agency. season where it is going to be a buzz. saw yeah massive day uh and obviously. free agency officially starts uh in 8. days next Wednesday but really it starts.

in 6 days on Monday some of the names on. there are very interesting we were just. talking about this this kind of this. list will basically set the draft you. know we've been talking about the. combine and everything but the guys on. this list will really kind of tell you. what teams especially at the top are. going to be aiming for I know for New. England you know a couple wide receivers. up there we'll depend on who they want. to get we were also just mentioned in. some of these quarterbacks and although. I don't see him up there I believe he.

might be more of a trade candidate a guy. like Dan Jones coming to Indianapolis. that would be something that I got my. eye on when it comes to next week yeah. just because I it feels as though Dan. Jones would thriv in a stien Le offense. it feels like that would be a huge. competition between DJ and AR and that. is what I'm kind of looking forward the. really question came from nine-year NFL. F former Indianapolis Cod everything DB. host Darius J bother what's the really. what's the surprise all about I mean. that's just I mean not even on the list. and he just right down on your mind that.

he will be the guy to come he's got. strong legs he can run good yeah uh I. have a question for you how many playoff. games did Sam darnold win last year. because guess what it's not as many as. Dan Jones has in his bag okay so I'm. just saying when we're looking at guys. you want to win with Dan Jones has that. capability he's tall he can run he's. smart SM he's very smart he's very tough. but even some of those names up there I. mean look at the Chiefs the Chiefs have. two of their wide receivers from this. past year up there and then you know a.

charvarius ward debu can probably speak. more to it one of the best corners in. the league yeah him being a free agent. is massive I feel like a Hanan reck's. interesting cuz will he play you know. that's kind of a fun little game you can. play during this you can trade for him. you can sign him you better get him on. that doted line how about a guy who came. what third for defense player year Zack. Eagles going to let him get to the free. agency that's one half of the hammer. Cowboys AP. Zack Bond Darius Slay who else from the. Philadelphia Eagles secondary Bradberry.

Bradberry y I believe was releas I mean. there's a lot going on there's a lot of. moving Parts there's a lot of money. getting shifted who would be the odd. person out odd man out of rosters and. who ass sign these guys and change. everything they have and maybe go on and. reach the climax of Lombardy Mountain. who's going to make a signing that's. going to change a culture change a. franchise change a city this offseason. it could be your team and your team. could also bring in cancer that ruins. your team your team can waste too much. money on a player and end up going to. Absolute trash but on the flip side you.

get a great deal and a pro it deal and. somebody comes in and really takes. ownership of your team puts the team on. their back and changes everything in the. locker room maybe Dan Jones to the Colts. is the right guy maybe Dan Jones comes. in and goes boys after at Giants it was. terrible at the Vikings it was good let. me tell you how things got to go this. guy got to operate you got to be on time. you got to show up to things okay that's. part of being a professional football. player because how you do anything is. how you do everything MH and how you. guys have been doing a lot of things. it's not how any of us want to do. anything who's this giving this is Dan.

giving a speak it's Danny di baby I can. see him in black and go I can see him in. black and go there we go press one. button car automatic start staying Too. Close Car Alarm might bark Daniel Jones. going to Pittsburgh I can't say. literally can't say no to anybody right. now yeah well you guys have no. quarterbacks joining us now as a man who. might play quarterback this year he's a. college football national champion Super. Bowl champion rer Cup winner we have no. idea if he'd pass any of the drugs test. uh ladies and gentlemen AJ. Haw Hawker how do you feel pal I feel.

pretty good I don't think I'm going to. be playing quarterback anytime soon but. I am interested about that Daniel Jones. to the Indianapolis Colts that's uh I. think that's a real possibility man. everybody's excited about it things are. happening c a buzz yeah everybody's uh. everybody's real excited I think the. Indianapolis city is just uh let's get. the next year and let's see how this is. going to go oh 26. no nobody is saying they're on the 26. nobody nobody's saying they're on 26. everybody's saying this is going to be. good same team same players same coaches.

same front office same building same. stadium going to go differently this. year that's how it's going to go open. competition at the quarterback position. has sent a message to the entire roster. that nobody's safe that's right nobody's. safe yeah you got to show up yeah maybe. try yeah maybe give a little effort yeah. maybe portray as if you care at all that. the team te that you're on is trying to. win a game I think that's going to ooze. through the through the locker room.

because they announced was it was it. year three after a you know two years of. injury fied quarterback play that Joe. burrow put the team on his back and took. in the Super Bowl AR boom yeah that's. right how was your two whatever the case. there lot TR remember pton man through. all those. interceptions pretty they are town the. Lesnar were just in town what a couple. weeks ago couple weeks ago q a last. Monday reset they reset the uh the or. absolutely this is how professional. football Works you're a [ __ ].

professional this is your job okay you. can lose this job hopefully sooner than. later everybody in the city is thinking. that you know because you're the keepers. of the Jersey. currently maybe we's some other ones is. that really a widespread thing from what. you you gained at the combine that like. the basics like showing up on time being. accountable to your teammates like. that's a real problem like throughout. the league not at the good places not. the good places but at the shite. organizations that is a real thing and. it's because I think I I don't know I'm. not in the position and I don't know a.

lot of these guys and obviously I would. be the same exact way if I was these. dudes you get a bunch of money uh I'm. smarter than you I've done it right okay. I'm a millionaire already you get to the. NFL hey you need to do this this and. this no I don't okay this is how I do it. and also don't like the way you're. talking to me right now okay you keep. doing that I am uh I'm not going to come. in here you know so I think there's a. there's a feel from some coaches in some. front offices that you can't actually. coach these people mold these people. into being accountable driven uh driven. adults in this entire thing because of.

everything theyve potentially gotten. away with and then all you need is just. what a couple bad eggs in there. especially ogs in there and then it just. just goes like this and all of a sudden. he lost it it's completely gone so I. don't think it's just the Colts. certainly we've heard a lot about the. Colts but uh there's other places as. well and those are teams that suck and. uh it's pretty apparent like if you want. to win this probably a piece of it that. you're going to need nonetheless uh. franchise tag today 400 p.m AJ Hawk T. Higgins franchise tagged for the second. straight time Osa down there in Dallas.

was franchise tagged he comes to terms. so they could give that to somebody else. now uh yeah that's a good question good. question oh if they do yeah because. technically did they tag him and then. extend sign the tag did he sign the T. yeah did he yeah can they can they now. say okay uh you tag you were it but. game's not over now tag you're it over. here I do wonder that we'll ask shefer.

in about five minutes or so but there's. a lot of eyes on what teams are going to. do and uh there's so many question marks. around this NFL right now so many. question marks Monday is going to be. awesome Monday free agency starts yeah. the amount of deals that are already. done know that are going to be announced. as soon as that clock strikes time is. going to be wonderful so and with those. announcements are going to come the. other side releases releases releases. this is happening this is happening oh. this team got this person [ __ ] we. thought we had that person now.

desperation sinks in we're going this. person and then there's a second wave. where everything kind of calms down a. little bit and then the second wave hits. and it's like ooh good signing there oh. that's good signing or they going to. wait till the draft to see who they get. in the draft it's like there's a lot of. magic about to take place especially. whenever four o00 hits today we're. really going to prep for people to be. able to Gear Up For The Money giving. away a free agency on Monday it's. exciting time in the NFL time in the NBA. as well AJ you know that yeah I'm I've. been watching more NBA basketball than I. have in the past no doubt us as well and.

I know we're in the minority I don't. think a lot of people are watching. basketball they had a big number though. on Friday night ESPN been watching was. he being fous yeah who you been watching. no I'm dead serious I mean I was on a. plane flying home I watched some some. games that were on had live TV in the. little the screen in the back yeah um. other than that I've watched I mean I'm. a big I love the Warriors I've always. loved staff and what they're doing. obviously Jimmy's over there so yeah. watch more now the SE the football. season is over obviously it's kind of. naturally happens most watched NBA.

double header on ESPN this season came. on Friday night I do believe 1.8 million. viewers for the Cav Celtics which who. won that. game I believe the Cavs won this one. okay and then Clippers Lakers the Battle. of La night cap who won that game Luca. did joining us now ladies and gentlemen. senior NBA Insider for ESPN friend of. the program sham. shiran Shams okay quickly here uh. because NBA talk is something we do we. enjoy but we're not the experts that's.

why we bring you in here Nico this. general manager for the Mavericks it is. being alleged by a lot of humans that. have opinions and on the internet that. they're trying to tank this team so they. can get him the hell out of Dallas well. it seems like all systems are working in. that front you get rid of your star he. turns out to be an absolute Beast still. lookie lookie the guy that took your. team to the finals last year can still. play basketball well for the Lakers they. go to the number two in the west Kyrie. now devastating ACL which we will all.

obviously missed last night Anthony. Davis gets hurt in his first game. there's been picketing protesting and. now Mass Exodus from these games from. Mavericks fans that are dieh hard fans. what is going on in Dallas and uh how do. you think everybody around the NBA is. viewing the current Maverick situation. Sean boys I think what's going on in. Dallas is what was going on in in the. immediate aftermath that trade that. happened on February 1st is like what. the like how how did this happen and I.

think Mavs fans in particular they're. still dealing with it and I you know. that conspiracy theory that you got. you're talking about that they're. tanking so much that they're they're. they're at war with their fans that they. are doing everything possible to. alienate their fans is because they want. to move the team I've seen that. conspiracy online to my knowledge P. there's zero truth to that that's just. not a real a reality but the fact that. that's even a conspiracy out there just. lets you know how like How Deeply.

extreme that trade was in the eyes of a. lot of people on the league a lot. literally everyone in Dallas I mean you. go you think about the Mavs and their. fan base Luca dantic a generational. player 25 years old just turned 26 he's. someone the 77 Jersey is going to be all. over Dallas forever he was someone Mark. cubin said once I would rather get a. divorce than to trade Luka Don I wanted. to retire LCA donic Jersey and I know in. talking to people around LCA donic over. the last 72 hours I was at that Lakers.

Clippers game on Sunday he had no. intention ever of leaving Dallas he had. just bought a new home in Dallas you. know for a lofty lofty PRI price uh he. did not want to go anywhere you think of. a player coming from abroad they're very. committed they're loyal and that's how. he viewed himself with the Mavericks as. like one team one city forever and I. think that's to carry over to the Lakers. I I I think he's loving his time in LA I. think he's loving how the Lakers you. think about what the Lakers brand is.

it's like treating stars like stars it's. Hollywood it's it's it's making the the. star players bigger than life and that's. what we're what we're going to see with. Luka donic but for the Mavericks I mean. this is just tough because Kyrie Irving. was having an All-Star he he was not. made his ninth NBA All-Star team he was. going for everything we've been talking. on this show I remember when I used to. come on here uh in 2020 20 21 and he was. getting absolutely crushed you think. about his decision not to take the covid.

vaccine shot you think about how his. image started to go in Brooklyn he was. reclaiming his spot the last couple. years as an oper Echelon top player the. spot that he he deserves uh and he was. on track to get a Max contract this off. season potentially he has a player. option for $44 million next season you. look at from a stats perspective Pat 25. points a game five rebounds five assist. he's the only player in the NBA this. season averaging at least 20 points at. least 50% three-point shooting and at.

least 90% from three uh and and for me. uh th this was a devastating injury for. him sorry that's at least 20 points 40%. three-point 90% from the foul line only. player in the NBA averaging that uh. fifth uh he fifth of his career second. he's having a great year yeah we got it. yeah he's having a great year 50 62. games got it got got it got it but Pat. what I will say is he his leadership. went beyond everything because you think.

about the deteriorated relationship. between Luka donic and that organization. and a lot of ways Kyrie Irving was that. in between and the front office leaned. on Kyrie Irving even with the their. communication with Luka donic and so. that relationship had strained they. trade Luca and now yeah I mean Anthony. Davis has been out since his opener. since the first game he played I think. him his Representatives I think they're. going to huddle up I think they're going. to have some very hard conversations. it's not out of the rumble possibility. that's the last time we you know that. one game was the last time we've seen.

Anthony Davis this season okay so. because Kyrie's injured now there's. nothing to you know he doesn't even oh. my God this Nico guy is gonna survive he. just has a lifetime. job he he's got multiple years left on. his contract I mean you you in the. aftermath of that trade I remember I. came on here and I said we'll judge this. trade in the next few months in the next. few years this trade is dependent on the. Mavericks going far and and they've. already been to the finals with Luka. Donas so what what else can you do. besides get to the finals it's winning a. championship that's what Nico Harrison.

and the Mavericks have set the standard. of being judged on and Nico Harrison in. his post trade press conference said. we'll see if I'm right or not we'll see. yeah we will it's it's kind of all. unfolding right now you know but he said. he's playing along in the long term this. is best for the maps which feeds a. conspiracy what is the long term you but. you're saying there's no truth to it at. all but anytime and he has a beer this. guy kind of a [ __ ] he drinks a beer. whenever he has does something good and. then every once in a while I see him. he's he's burning hookah blowing if we.

traded all players that that drank a lot. of beer. and Conor has the last question for you. here Shams yeah sham me obviously Lakers. the number two seed in the west how. about the one seed SGA is he going to be. the runaway MVP here they showed a. graphic earlier today about him having. you know another 50-point game. unbelievable uh how do we feel about the. th and are they kind of the favorites. coming out of the West even with. everything Luca and the Lakers are doing.

in my conversations with players with. teams people around the league I think. he is shs Alexander is viewed as a. favorite or a front runner right now I. think you have to still look at Nia yic. Giannis and DMO I don't think gets. enough shine as well what he's doing in. Milwaukee just leading that team the. numbers he's putting up but yic just. numbers speak for themselves he's having. a I mean honestly he might be having a. better season statistically than he's. had the last few years that he has won. MVP that just goes to show what Shake. gills Alexander's impact has been the 50.

point games leading this young Oklahoma. City team to the number one seed again. uh runaway uh number one seed and and. and vying to be the best overall record. in the NBA period with the Cavaliers so. uh and he was runner up last year so you. think about doing it for back-to-back. Seasons uh this might be the year he. gets his flowers okay I hope so you know. cuz greeny said this morning SGA no more. he's. MVP and he said last night was the sh.

Show I mean greeny was talking in. headlines about Oklahoma City's SGA what. a uh Shay Gil's a great name too I I. mean I hope he does it I hope the NBA. continues to heat up uh Zion nuto tattoo. he's playing great ball we're. rolling record's good we we need we need. uh we need Z wison to stay on the floor. we need him to continue forist sake the. way he dun he just had his first triple. double uh last week last week so Z. [ __ ] around and go triple double dude.

you let him play basketball it's crazy. what'll happen when the man is healthy. the man is healthy and he's able to play. he puts up numbers we know his impact on. winning and that's why Pat it's so hard. for the Pelicans you think about every. year it's like the rumors of trading. Zion Williamson let go how tra trade. them they never let the guy play and he. says once again I'm going to ull you the. Pelicans when they let me play I'm on. the Court uh when they don't I'm on a. sideline I'm always happy I got a new. tattoo you guys check it out mhm you. guys watch the you guys like would you.

get a stomach cat like that would you do. that se I don't know if you've seen my. body I got no tats even though I love. tats and have the thought of getting. tats I've sat down in the chair and. they're like need you for two and a half. three hours here to not move and it's. going to hurt and I'm like all right. I'll get you next time I I can't imagine. how stomach T would be I pain that would. would hurt he didn't feel my wife's got. a beautiful sleeve you're what you see. he's fit now okay all right what's that.

I'm D with it we appreciate you man. you're the best appreciate yall thank. youed yeah he did clear he's on Jay us. he's a Jay guy he does feel like it the. NBA is happening age you know you you. say you accidentally fell into it while. on a flan or whatever they're putting up. bigger numbers the NHL seemingly doing. well Sports having a time right now yeah. having a time right now I would like it. if those Lakers did go in a long run. just because of what happened with. Dallas I have no interest in the west.

like love the nugs Cuz Mr Malone came on. the program a couple times and I enjoyed. him in his [ __ ] talk Phoenix Suns I. enjoy ishbia and what he does they. brought Kevin Durant and I love Kevin. Durant that team sucks I have no idea. how that even happens I I don't even. know. how yeah they they're terrible they're. already talking about him uh going into. the offseason and them working together. to get a trade to get KD out of there. but the best thing for the NBA for shoot. and this is me as a Celtics fan would be.

Celtics Lakers finals because that's the. biggest rivalry in the NBA it's. considered one of those pillar rivalry. so if they were to make that happen not. that it's rigged but if were if that. were to happen that would be huge for. the week yeah and I mean obviously good. to have the big markets in it in uh. sport but you know I love that the. Pacers have a chance oh yeah I love that. the Cavs have a chance like the sport. needs that. like I think the sport needs that now. Golden State being out with how exciting.

uh Steph is to watch play basketball and. now granted as the season goes I guess. there's a chance they can still get in. it and maybe even win the whole damn. thing but it's like NBA has a chance. here you know first half of the Season. it was this is the worst League of all. time nobody's going to watch they got. big problems and if you start thinking. about the league it's like yeah I think. they do you got nobody knows any of. these guys no nobody knows any of them. outside of their Die Hard fan base. nobody has a clue about any of these. guys except for the fact that we're. being told by other NBA people ex-nba.

people and NBA experts that these guys. are soft so all we're hearing is that. these guys are soft these guys are. taking nights off these guys are getting. paid more money than ever they're opting. out of games it's like then need talk to. Tyrese and Tyrese is like yeah everybody. kills us doesn't mean we just want to go. talk to everybody I mean that's not how. this goes and not a majority of the NBA. are opting out a back-to-back night like. a lot of us are a lot of us are like. what's being painted as a league in a. problem it's like the reality is not as. such I'm like well you guys need to. start telling people this like hey you. need to start maybe maybe let's get to.

know some of these guys you know maybe. let us learn some of these stories and. it's like if they're able to do that and. the games are going to be good and you. get the big names playing it's like the. NBA has a chance to save a year that a. lot of people thought was a massive. failure going into it yeah I mean the. basketball gods are real you know like. the Lakers are going to make it to I. mean it's terrible what happened to. Kyrie but this does kind of feel like. the universe just saying like hey you. guys screwed over Luca and pissed off. all your fans in the process now the. Lakers are doing what they're doing like.

they're they're going to make it to the. finals I don't know if they're going to. win but they're going to have a deep run. into the playoffs for sure because the. basketball gods are real joining us now. ladies and gentlemen is not in the NBA. uh is actually in the NFL and boy he's. inside of it in he yes he is he's senior. of being inside of it deep deep so deep. that there isn't even like a beef to get. to his spot whenever he's grabbing a. coffee no you know everybody's like hey. trying to scratch and Claw and fight to. get there literally through any. Starbucks Lobby that they possibly can.

and this guy's just sitting up there. going boys there's enough news to go. around been there done that ladies and. gentlemen Adam. schfer I walk through Starbucks with my. head on a swivel I understand how this. works out okay so you are a little bit. worried about the chance that maybe. somebody will come out and get you hey I. like a venty American okay B Espress. oh anyone behind me especially with the. size of you insiders this is just a fact.

of the matter one of them much taller. than the others and seems like he's the. one that's kind of on the pr ready yeah. so you maybe don't do this here shf you. need to do this number first I think. that is the with the elbow with with the. ball right in the balls y right to the. you know what I mean right right to the. I got you I got careful of the arrow too. cuz he's metal yeah Tom piser might get. in the game as well um um Chey great to. see you hope you had a great combine. hope you had a great combine nice to see. with you nice to be with you it was.

great to see you in person we' love. chitchatting with you you're Moxy in I'd. say your spunk whenever we're with you. in person is off the charts so it was. great seeing you great catching up with. you now you do and utilize the combine. like everybody else does to gather. information franchise tag deadline about. two and a half hours from now what. should we look uh should we be looking. at and what is potentially the next. Domino to fall in this NFL offseason. from what you know from your. conversations well again we've seen the. tags go to T Higgins and Trey Smith in.

Kansas City I don't know that we're. going to get another tag which would. mean this would be an incredibly. uneventful tag period Osa adigaa I hope. I pronounced that correctly got his deal. done there you go Pat you could practice. with me right now for tomorrow right Osa. adua breaking news Ela ozua will be on. the show tomorrow at 12:15. thank you shter for being the connect. there go ahead now with him being a $80. million deal congrats to him so again.

Oso got his deal done today T is tagged. in Cincinnati Trey Smith is tagged in. Kansas City look I mean we always could. be blindsided by a tag that comes in at. the last moment but I don't see another. tag getting done which means that we. would have two tags in this period which. would be the lowest number hold on we. yeah let me let me get the exact math. here because I've been waiting for this. yes till later on the this would be the. lowest number of.

tags uh since. 1994 when Eric green and Henry Thomas. were tagged the next three and 2006 with. John Abraham Nate Clemens and Jeff bakus. could forget that 86 and 94 and then. 2025 the lightest franchise tag years. that is bananas to think about why is. that Chey why do you think it is that. way. Chey well I I think AJ that number one.

teams are doing a better job at. identifying their players in advance and. signing them like again Osa digua could. have been tagged today but he and Dallas. were working on a deal and they're able. to get the deal done so that they don't. even have to tag him um you could look. around the league and I think that we've. seen any number of these deals get done. in recent years every time you see one. of these big. extensions that takes one fewer guy off. the market and so I I just think teams.

have seen their guys they they know. who's good and who's not and they're not. letting the really good guys get to. Market to where they even have to tag. them um obviously there's been teams. that have let great players out the door. and they've gone on to have great. success but with the salary cap going up. too I think guys are more likely to get. deals done feels like this is a good. thing going forward less players. franchise tag is good in a player's. mindset now Dallas Cowboys since they. were going to tag Osa since the deadline. hasn't happened yet they get a deal done. they could take that tag now and throw.

it at somebody else if they wanted to. yeah but I don't think there's anybody. else they're gonna tag no I'm just. saying they could though if they wanted. to because the deal was done before the. deadline yeah you you'd have to find. somebody else that was going to be. tagged and again when I when this period. opened I I think the guys that were. really under scrutiny for tags were Trey. Smith were Sam d AR or t Higgins and it. sounds like Sam darnold is not going to. be tagged in Minnesota and that when we.

talk about some of the things that are. going to happen that becomes an. interesting situation to see how that. unfolds here moving forward okay so on. that note uh dbut has a question for you. Chey yeah you're saying Sam Darnell not. getting tagged coming off career year. career year in Minnesota Brock py. another good year under his belt I know. the 49ers have his rights for a few more. years uh but when these quarterbacks. essentially get their next deal done. Brock py and Sam Darnell do you have any. idea what the ballpark of those. contracts will be we had the 50 million.

dollar club with quarterbacks do you. think one or both of those guys join. that club well I think Brock py. certainly could but that's a question if. they get that deal done again you. touched on it there dbut um the ners if. they don't sign Brock pie this off. season and here's a team that really is. up against it financially if they don't. sign him and Brock py obviously is going. to want to get a deal done and the. Niners would want to get a deal done but. the issue is he's scheduled to make. $5.1 million this season he then could.

be tagged after next season for 41. million he could be tagged the season. after that for 51 million so if you. don't get a deal done with Brock pie and. you're the ners and and and again this. would not be what Brock pie would want I. would imagine certainly not what his. agent would want he would play for five. million this year 41 next year 51 the. year after you're talking about 97 plus. million do over the next three years.

which for most people will be incredible. money but not for a quarterback who's. waiting to get paid and so the Niners. have a bit of a cap issue cash issue and. so they can't put. Brockie necessarily where he might be. they can go to a certain level they'd. want to pay him but it's not going to be. I would imagine quite as high as most. people think Hey listen we understand. you're worthy of 605 55 million we're.

just telling you with what we got going. on can't happen bud we're at 45 by the. way by the way we're at 45 mil good. money 45 million is good money great. money 45 no no no by the way let's just. use 50 we'll use 50 as a nice round even. number okay $50 million $50 million. Brock we want to pay you $50 million a. year for the next three years you can. make A1 $50 million if you don't want no. problem you can play it out and you go.

5141 51 97 over three years and then. you'll have a chance to hit free agency. in four years you'll be a true free. agent and at that point who knows what. quarterbacks are being paid maybe it's a. hundred million a year like maybe yeah. but if you can get 97 million over three. years or 150 over three years I would. take the 150 over three years. immediately and also the sell to Brock. is 50 million is a lot of money that's. lot Mone now you're going to have the. NFL PA and you're going to have a lot of. pressure on him not going for the. biggest buck but if they're going to.

build the team up around him maybe. they're able to go which leads to. another rumor coming out of San. Francisco which seemingly never ends go. ahead Connor yeah Chef we know you're. tied in with San Francisco and obviously. Debo got tricked why why do you always. say this you always say this we just. know look we we can read everywhere we. don't just read your tweets we break. them down okay and we know hold on I. want you Connor my job is to be tied. into every team exactly that's my job. okay so when when you ask me a Steelers.

question or you asked me a raven's. question you ask me an eagles's question. or she please say we know you're tied in. there too please say that okay SM we're. not putting down anywhere we do know you. are deep in the San Francisco 49ers EXA. you're basically saying like you're an. eagle knot when we come to tight end. brother Bingo you're an eagle scout I. mean with the uh with the knots that you. got going in there with how tied in you. are every parent has their favorite kid. and chefy's favorite team's the N we. know that we can say that and there's.

nothing wrong with that that's just the. reality of the situation okay and last. week Deb hold on hold on hold on hold on. I'm getting simultaneous texts from the. Seahawks Rams and Cardinals right now. they're pissed off that I'm showing. favorite Nation status to the 49ers. you're Ru his relationships in the NFC. West brother you're not doing that we. know you would never say that they're. your favorite we are just saying that. based on your you know Twitter some of. the things that you say at times but. last week Debo he gets traded obviously. immediately after that there's people on. the internet calling him a fatso and.

that that was going on he tweeted like. whoa I'm not a fatso and get ready for. this new bod that's coming for the. Washington commies next year that'll be. awesome now the rumors are circulating. that Brandon iuk might be getting moved. and obviously John Lynch mentioned you. know we got to get younger and with. these looming contracts it makes sense. they need to kind of get cheaper as well. is auk kind of available are teams. calling for Brandon iuk and is his. injury from last year and the you know.

lots of money contract that he has. currently is that going to hurt his. trade status going into next year well. again I think that the 49ers in their. particular financial situation are open. to listening on just about anybody just. about anybody right and so if there's a. team out there um that is willing to. take on the Brandon IU contract with him. coming off the tourn ACL I'm sure they. would listen absolutely but again you've. got to find a team that's willing to. take on the player with the injury with.

the contract that's not a simple thing. to do look if there's no knee injury. it's a simple deal but because there's a. knee injury because he may miss the. first half of next season and there are. questions about you know when he'll get. back next year there are a whole host of. pending issues but the. ners again for them to play in the free. agency sandbox they're going to have to. find ways to clear out salary whether. that's through Brandon iuk or Jordan.

Mason or any other player that they. don't bring back or let go they have to. find ways to get money to help feeli the. kind of roster that they want so if an. offer comes in on Brandon iuk and. there's a team out there that's willing. to take on that particular situation I'm. sure they would be open to listening to. it okay so with this comes the Brock. party deal having to pay your. quarterback you can't pay everybody else. it's kind of the game got a Young. quarterback you can pay everybody else.

you get a quarterback it gets paid you. got to figure it out Howie was able to. debunk the system same with the Chiefs. and Brett Vach but normally that's how. it goes in a quarterback World unless. you get some of these veteran. quarterbacks that may be cheaper price. AJ has a question for you shefy yeah. shefy who do you say like when you say. the first Domino to fall when you think. of all these quarterbacks that may be. you know changing teams some of these. guys Sam darnold Dan Jones Aaron Rogers. Russ Wilson all these people who do you. think could possibly be the first Domino. to fall here and sign with a team and. and what could a deal possibly look like.

say for Sam. darnold well in my mind the place that. I'm watching next there are two places. it would be Minnesota and Sam darnold. because Sam darnold cannot sign with. another team until next week Minnesota. will have interest in trying to work out. a deal before he becomes a free agent. and so they are open to to bringing him. back the question is can the two sides. figure out a deal that's worthwhile the.

other place to watch this week would be. the Pittsburgh Steelers because they. currently do not have a quarterback. under contract it's tough to go into. free agency to go add to your offense. when you have no idea who's playing. quarterback and that's why I think. they're going to spend this week working. on getting a deal done with either. Justin field. or Russell Wilson I would imagine Justin. Fields is first up in the pecking order. we'll see if they can get something.

worked out there if not it's easy to. Pivot on to Russell Wilson and we'll see. how this works out but I would think. Pittsburgh is determined to try to get. one of these quarterback deals done in. the coming days so that it have some. clarity going into free agency and that. doesn't mean they couldn't add another. quarterback at some point in time but I. think the idea would be to provide some. stability. now so that at least they could go into. free agency with a little bit more. clarity than they currently have.

oh fear for my life from the long arm of. the they don't have a quarterback they. got a lot more of the fear than the long. arm of the law brother is that the most. important position in all sports yep is. that the one that matters the most got. no quarterbacks on the roster hasn't had. a losing season in a long time maybe. they'll go to a wide receiver and have. him play quarterback you broke some news. right before you came on the program go. ahead tone yeah Che your DED in with the. NFL uh so I wanted to ask you you just.

broke the news that Devonte Adams was. released officially we knew we had we. figured it was coming um is there this I. was looking at the free agent list as. far as wide receivers go and you know. it's Chris Godwin Amari Cooper Steph. Diggs uh dehop does that make him the. number one wide receiver on the free. agent market and is there any early. favorites on who could potentially go. after him well it all depends on what. you're looking for look I think we've. seen right now T Higgins be deprived of.

the true unrestricted free agency that. he wants and if there's a team out there. that wants th Higgins they're gonna have. to pay th Higgins and then compensate. the Bengals and that's if the Bengals. are willing to trade him which we do not. know for sure if that is or isn't the. case so now you look at the other wide. receivers Chris Godwin is coming off his. own knee injury been an unbelievable. player unbelievable person the kind of. guy you want on your team Devonte Adams. is older still a highly productive. player I think there's a just a group of.

wide receivers I don't know that I'm. placing one above the other I think it. just depends on the team how they value. each player but nobody was going to. trade for Devonte Adams contract when we. go back to Debo Samuel last week being. traded to Washington he was due 175. million and really the Niners didn't get. a lot of interest they spoke to Houston. they spoke to Denver but in the end the. only team that was really willing to. move at that point in time on Debo was. the commanders because the salary it's. 17 and a half well Devonte was do double.

that 39 or. something so you weren't gonna find you. never gonna find a trade partner for. Devonte Adams it was never realistic and. that's why the Jets have essentially. granted him his release he now hits the. open market and becomes one of the top. free agent wide receivers out there. where does he fit I think look he's been. through it the last couple of years he's. played in Vegas didn't have a. quarterback he played in New York they. struggled and. lost without having spoken to Devonte.

about this I'm gonna guess he wants to. play for a winner he's gonna want to. play where he's utilized where they. depend on him and where he's got a. chance to win games this going to the. Chiefs this guy's going to the Chiefs oh. no oh no I can see it I I you said that. I didn't say that I I just think that. he's. no well there there there there are a. lot of play how about I mean we could go. over any number Packers how.

about how about how about Philly hold on. didn't they say something about him and. Josh McDaniels uh yeah they have a good. rapport New England but if we're talking. winners you know that wouldn't be like. okay got it you just said that not me. how many how many games we won last year. no no Hey listen I agree but but again. well hold on but New England and I don't. know this but New England might be. willing to pay him more than those other. teams New England's got over a 100. million in cap space so now. Dev do do you want to make more in New.

England if the Patriots are interested. or do you want to take less and go to a. more certifiable these are the decisions. that every player is going through these. are the decisions that every team is. going through and so you can't just. apply a simple formula to this these are. complicated nuanced layered decisions. humans yeah humans are making decisions. about their lives uh happiness you know. are you choosing to check over the. incredible opportunity and if you choose. to check over the opportunity in like a. year from now are you going to regret.

doing that and maybe say I'm out of here. get me out of here I can't be doing this. I'm done with irrelevant football games. that happened out in Miami obviously. with Tyreek Hill as soon as he signs. with Miami for the massive check leaving. the Chiefs we all say okay he's going to. take the bag but then you don't win a. couple years in a row and it's like I. hate this this is not what life is. supposed to be like so there's a lot of. decisions that have to be made we would. all like to see Devonte back in Prime. Time football I think we would all agree. a lot of people are saying he and Aaron. might be a tandem I don't know if that's.

true I mean especially if dvon is able. to get some payment you talk about New. England opportunity and compensation is. what they have up there that's what they. got and to your point there was a report. about McDaniels and that you know. Devonte was very successful in his. offense and I'm sure Devonte sees what. we all see you know Drake May's got a. lot of air okay all right so maybe if. this goes how anything has gone over the. last like 5 years Devonte Adams going to. the Kansas City Chiefs and uh that is. going to be a wild situation when it. takes place but no matter where he goes. we can't wait to see him playing ball. again speaking of playing ball again.

will miles Garrett ever be back in. Cleveland Tai has a question for you. yeah shefy what's going on there most. recently we've heard that he's basically. said Hey listen I'm not negotiating at. all like I do not want to be a Cleveland. Brown um did you hear anything at the. combine or otherwise that suggests. possible trade Partners we know that the. Lions kind of checked him uh at the. deadline last year he wants to go to. Contender are there any teams that are. popping up are and are we any closer to. Miles Garrett potentially getting moved. uh this was the text I got last week.

okay uh miles is not open to discussing. a contract extension with. Cleveland he this has nothing to do with. money he wants to go in and he wants to. go to a place he feels he is a shot at. doing that. immediately now the Browns feel just as. strongly that they're not tra miles. Garrett so somebody here is going to. have to give or we're going to have to.

see how this unfolds I've always felt. like this was a question of. how how dug in Miles Garrett is GNA be. because if he's dug in and he refuses to. report back there and he makes it messy. then. eventually eventually he's going to get. what he wants but the process of getting. there is going to be very tense and very. complicated and very ugly so I I don't. know how far he's willing to push it.

it's one thing to say he's not willing. to talk about an extension with. Cleveland he wants to go to a place that. wins it's March 4th you can say that is. he still saying the same thing on August. 4th if and when nothing's happened and I. don't have the answer to that nobody. does right now so again all we've known. is that the Browns have been unwilling. to budge the. situation with miles is he right now is. not interested in talking about an. extension and I I know we've got these.

questions and and speculation about. where Miles Garrett's gonna wind up and. and that'll be interesting if Cleveland. moves off its stance but you know I know. Philly's been floated out there I've had. Eagles fans like are we trading for. Miles Garrett like I there there are no. absolutes at this time of the year. anything is always possible but I don't. know how Philadelphia who is gonna have. to pay cam Jurgens and Jordan Davis from. the class of 2022 and Jaylen Carter and.

Nolan Swift from the class of 2023 and. qu Mitchell and Cooper deim from the. class of 24 and draft and resigned some. of its own players like they're gonna. want to bring back Zack Bond how are. they finding the money not to mention. the. compensation to go out and get miles G. like Is that real yeah but I mean I. guess things always Could Happen how is. a dog Howie has this ability howwi he is. he's an absolute dog now granted Andrew. Barry is obviously going to be the one.

who's going to have to be on the other. side of that conversation and maybe. Haslam and everything like that he's. seemingly not moving but as you've noted. that doesn't mean anything especially. with the history in the NFL miles. Garrett getting added that Vic fangi. over defense over there with all the. changes that they make I couldn't even. fathom if how he's able to reload like. that but to the victors go the spoils. and the downfalls going to have to pay. everybody CU I see how they navigated uh. Chef D we appreciate the hell out of you. man thank you so much for taking the. time on this glorious franchise tag.

deadline Tuesday gentlemen it was always. a pleasure uh have a great day and enjoy. Osa ad digua tomorrow thank you for. making that happen for us ladies and. gentlemen Adam. chefer so fresh out of a $80 million. extension Osa o digua will be joining us. tomorrow at 12:15 can't wait to get his. thoughts cuz I to be clear did not know. a lot about him no you know I think I. remember his name during games whenever. he'd make a big time play but it was. never the talking point of the Dallas.

Cowboys he just got broken off I mean. big time deal good for him D tackle. getting that type of money good news for. him yeah a lot of go those guys do the. Dirty Work you don't really know him. they don't really make the headlines the. the guy the edge guys like Michael. Parsons obviously Travon Diggs even. overshown when he was doing at. linebacker last year but this is the guy. that does the Dirty Work glad he got his. money I am certainly in agreement with. that Rich Eisen broke some rumors that. he had heard from the combine he said. these are not facts these are just. things that I have heard around the. combine Rich Eisen talks to everybody at.

the combine and there's a lot of convos. at the combine now what the convo is at. the combine doesn't necessarily mean. what it's going to be whenever free. agency comes doesn't necessarily mean. it's going to be what draft is but he's. getting a chance to hear from a lot of. people what is currently happening not. necessarily the endgame but what is. currently happening this what he has to. say about the Giants I heard the Giants. and Raiders interest in Matthew Stafford. was quite real and it was. Harry at at certain junctures last week. and I heard the Giants hit the number.

and they hit the number for Stafford and. they not only hit the number for. Stafford I heard this again from. multiple people I heard they hit the. number for Stafford and they hit the. trade comp too they were in and I heard. the Raiders were way in too on Stafford. and Stafford had a real the Giants even. you know they hired his brother-in-law. Chad Hall on the coaching staff oh who. and so they really made a run so Giants. hit the trade comp they hit it hit the.

number which was which was reported 90. to 100 million guaranteed whatever it. whatever it was I don't know what it was. I heard they hit it why didn't the deal. get done because I think at the end of. the day the staffords like looking at. the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean. and. it's well you know when it all comes. down to it it is the best spot for him. yeah so he said that the Giants were all. in and uh meeting the trade comp meeting. the number which allegedly potentially.

nine figures in this entire thing at. this stage of Matthew Stafford's career. rap report during the combine came out. and said that he took a lot less money. to stay with the Rams McVey yesterday. said whenever this comes out you'll see. how incredibly selfless this was of. Matthew Stafford with the deal so I. think him being able to kind of hear the. options and the opportunities and where. he would have to go to get these things. was certainly good thing that the Rams. let him do that's a good football Gods. will bless the Rams I think with that. but inevitably in the end Matthew. Stafford McVey talk on Friday morning I.

assume lesne gets in there as well they. lay out the plan going forward maybe air. some grievances sure maybe air some. grievances on how things have gone and. they get to a point where Matthew. Stafford is returning in the middle of. that you decided to interrupt and you. said that these teams suck which is. potentially why Matthew Stafford didn't. want I think that is also a massive. piece of it yeah I mean yeah you're. going to quarterback at his age what. he's already accomplished you're going. to different franchises that you would. you would think are a little F further. away from winning uh than you are in La.

a lot of us expected LA to win three. four games this past season what they. had they obviously knew what they had we. saw sham MCV yesterday and just talking. to him for however long that was you can. sell the electricity and what he brings. to that building day in and day out and. I feel like this is right this is the. only right this is the right place for. Matt Stafford to finish his career had a. long loyal run in Detroit and I think. this is the right place to go go and. finish it however he sees fit still a. team that that can be right there in it. we saw how dominant that Philadelphia. Eagles run was last year but this was a.

team that was a few plays away so um. it's the right place I think for n to. finish his career yeah and you. mentioning you know when it comes out as. contract how you generous he's going to. look and how awesome it is could you. imagine Devonte going over there we're. talking about teams that he could. possibly play for and you know have. maybe go play a little and they said the. west coast is going to be a real part of. devonte's decision- making process. because of his family that was the whole. thing with the Raiders when he you know. fan of the Raiders growing up and his. family's out there they can go see his. games like the Rams him with McVey and. pukan AA and Karen Williams you talking.

about just winning immediately that. would be incredible him going into a. McVey offense would be fun to watch. there's there's another West Coast team. that needs a wi out too go same exact. City I was cuz I when I saw that rap. report about West Coast I immediately. pulled it up and chargers and Rams both. both need wide receivers they're both on. the west coast they both can win. especially with great quarterbacks those. are play Devonte would probably love. yeah especially um I mean maybe the. Chargers go this year maybe did you. watch hard bought and hes on the program.

yes you love the Chargers since the day. they got Justin Herbert what did you. learn from that conversation what I. learned is they got a culture already in. place and they're going to go yep I love. the uh and obviously we only get to see. bit and pie but even the relationship. dynamic between those two like hearing. when I fure out who asks about khil Mack. he like hey pay him pay the man pay the. guy you can like he's even the guys that. aren't necessarily under contract right. now you can tell what those guys mean to. that culture we always say culture. culture culture Jim Harbaugh has shown. he's a culture guy he can build winners.

you know the way he builds him he's. going to build his team through the. draft through the free agents he's going. to bring the right guys in we've been. around the waight we met everybody from. the weight room from the staff and just. The Vibes in that building you feel like. that's an organization going in the. right direction and you always have to. have a guy at quarterback and I think. they have the guy with Herbert how about. uh the Rams too one play away from. beating the Philadelphia Eagles beat the. hell out of everybody it's like they're. on the cusp of potentially going there's. a lot of teams that are close I think. whenever we look back maybe we forget. about because they didn't play in the.

playoffs or they didn't play late so we. forget all about it it's the NBA playoff. effect if you're not in the NBA Playoffs. nobody knows you even had a season I. mean because it's so long you're in. there it's happening with college ball. too for me if you if you didn't like. Jackson Dart we hadn't seen him play. football in forever we saw a lot of. people play football they watch these. highlights you're. like dude's a dog Nast dude's an. absolute dog you kind of forget about. him same thing in the NFL with of these. teams I think we just rule everybody out. as that team stunk they didn't make. playoffs and it's like there's a lot of. organizations that are sitting there. like we were [ __ ] four plays away.

from like really making it we're playing. every year every year that's the case. where there's so many not so many but. there's a handful of teams that lost so. many one- score games or three or sixo. losses where yeah for whatever reason. they just couldn't find a way to to get. over the hump there so I don't know. every you're know why I'm on the one. shot right now if that's actually what's. going out but I think there's a lot of. teams like that hey that's good self. awareness CU you guys producing. television while he's out there. chitchatting about a situation um yeah. it's an interesting time right now for. our program you know like at this exact.

moment right now just sitting and. waiting on a text message we got we got. if I could put that eyeball Emoji out I. would put that eyeball Emoji out right. hey something's coming holy [ __ ] anytime. you see me put the eyeball Emoji out. it's me saying I know what's about to. come out and uh I've decided not to Dive. Into The Insider world and let everybody. know a come on this one is uh March 4th. eyes you could eyes eyes emoji and we. are going to be the ones I think that.

are going to let the uh the cat out of. the bag I do believe on a rather large. rather large piece of news be careful. getting into this world now I know you. know what everybody [ __ ] hates me. already so you know Dance With the. Dragon yeah I don't want to get in The. Insider World CU you piss people off and. it's like I already have enough people. saying terrible things about me so. forget it maybe I do get in The Insider. world good luck Starbucks star down guys. yeah good luck there might be a new. pecking order in this entire game but it. is uh it is certainly an honor to.

potentially do that type of thing got to. earn up a lot of trust with people I. think in this particular case we have. and uh now we just sit and wait for a. text to come big fish big yeah this is a. big piece of news maybe just do it this. is a big. uh what position don't worry about it. don't worry about it we've h on to this. for a little bit now so you know it's. been squeaky clean uh what was that. thing you wanted to talk about ton in. the ball cap it was something about. there something that happened about. something in the the NFL World remember. it was a big deal on this franchise tag.

day with those free agents yeah it was. it was a big deal uh I was just talking. about the free agents in general and how. great this class is there's a a ton of. Dbacks uh we talked about earlier that's. a huge part of this one and it's kind of. like there's not a lot of I mean there's. dcks obviously in the draft but it's not. a a deep Dbacks one so the the free. agency Dbacks could be Heavy especially. you know the same with the wide. receivers um but probably not for like. running backs because those are D. tackles because those are heavy in in. the draft but there's a lot still a lot. of huge names out there and now that.

Devonte is on that like Dev I Chey said. that there was tears for wide receivers. but like when I look at the wide. receivers Godwin's coming off an injury. so maybe him one a Stefon Diggs coming. off an injury Mari Cooper you know. coming off of a bit long in the tooth. yeah bit long in the tooth something. weird happened there in Buffalo where he. didn't get a ton of production but. Devonte is definitely I think in my eyes. w a as far as wide receiver free agency. a healthy digs healthy motivated Stefan. digs obviously out there playing for. some money um and then not even.

Hollywood Brown you know I think he. brings a level of explosive injury to an. offense for sure yeah he got you know. got later on and mil Williams on the. other side of the ball and the trenches. he's guys just dominate the Super Bowl. so he played his best ball at the right. time it's a magical time uh around the. NFL and obviously we'll continue to chat. about it on uh ESPN plus Disney plus. YouTube and Tik Tok live uh there's yeah. something Something's Cooking right now. and uh it will certainly be coming in a. a few moments I believe this clock is.

[ __ ] out of myself I think you know I'm. trying to get healthier as I continue to. grow on that was one conversations I had. with myself during the break I said. listen you got a daughter dude let's. live bingo let's survive you are healthy. though not as much as I could be you.

Hammer downtown as I do every single day. to grab my cowboy hat and I looked at. and I said I don't think you deserve to. wear that today so I didn't why what. happened did you do something did you I.

just didn't feel it what did you do. buddy what was the guilt that you were. feeling about a I feel uh it's not. something I am capable of good that's. good yeah so it has nothing to do with I. think it's cuz I probably I don't think. I've been watching I haven't watched a. cowboy show or movie in a long time so I. just didn't feel it Feel It In My Bones. you can feel it yeah you can wear it. yeah Chase it yeah for sure he decided. to chase the ball cap today it's been. you know it's it's winter so I haven't. listened to country music in in a while. either so it's just you know it's kind. of lettuce is phenomenal these days yeah.

that's what I'm saying when are we going. to finally just do no cap one half of. the. hammer No Cap boys when's that g to. happen probably soon soon keep capping. I'm getting older I you know I I looked. at Mahomes on the hardwood the other day. and I said he cut his hair you know what. am I doing I'm not it's not Halloween. I'm parading around at a cowboy hat all. the time oh no you're starting wait we. knew this time was inevitable Halloween. you're a cowboy we knew that this was. going to come this has been since Co. brother it's been like four or five. years since I've been on a ranch I've. been busy I haven't done light ranch in.

a couple years at least yeah maybe 30. what 35 years so you're no longer a. Cowboy is that what I am I am I. am felt like today Massacre week just a. day. to Cowboy ton is dead brother oh no AB. absolutely I know what he asked and it. is a. necessity.

no in this particular case it is the. hammer D Cowboys will ride no more wow. wow just a hammer down Bo I didn't know. this was going to happen today momentom. of Silence you got Co you went into your. Co. cave in between bouts of shaking and. trembles and mhm being incredibly hot. and being incredibly cold and being. wildly sick something that none of us. has ever really seen before in 15minute. interval seemingly yeah shiting your.

pants perfectly sketched I didn't have. that one man you had to isolate yourself. from your entire family mhm and while. you were awake you said [ __ ] it I'm. going to dive through this sports book. more than I've ever done before M coming. out of there you became the best Gambler. you have ever been thank you so the co. Cowboy became a superstar Gambler which. actually started hammer. every single. day now although. Hammer we'll still ride the Cowboys M. seemingly no more what an arrow what a.

run it was one of the good things that. came from Co yeah and now it's. dead God bless the cowboy am man I'm bum. that me too I'm bummed out hey Bill. [Laughter]. Bay McComas did just come in and take a. photo of the uh moment of silence for. the cowboy hat had the capture moment. yeah this a big moment this is a big.

moment in the history of our program so. I'm happy that bill got that thank you. Bill that's what AJ was saying your head. popped into the bottom half of the and. then your traps he's working out with. his bodybuilders yeah so jacked I mean. we should have went to the bathroom and. came back with this still just sitting. here staring at not even a typing thing. not even a typing thing probably still. can these things these things tend to. linger yeah and they talk I'm say hey. hey the [ __ ] I'm about to piss my pants. can we. piss oh in that case yes you can confirm.

he I've been on three phone calls today. during the show I don't think a lot of. people understand that's big news that's. when you know yeah walk away boys need. you ask an extendo question here maybe a. followup in this entire thing I'm on a. damn. hey we're close yeah I heard that before. typ. bubbles uh actual message.

saying soon Hold the. Line relative soon means very soon 10. minutes to soon like you said can I go. pee. fog what he's getting out he's getting. out yeah you wouldn't know that's what. you think we're holding up the show for. that's your problem I didn't know you. you should have that's something you. should have known as not something he. would hold up a show for but that being. said I do think he's getting out at some. point makes sense on franchise tag. something else thought he was getting.

fired Squad in South Carolina South. Carolina is bringing back death by. firing squad for uh the death. penalty 15 years uh three guys are going. in they're going to have rifles about. 15t away and they're all going to have. live ammunition only three yeah which. disappointing and I. thought for one no well that's what they. used to do but they're saying and no. we're not doing that anymore so they're. all going to give the guy you know and. now they don't know whose bullet did The. Killing so nobody has any guilt exactly.

[Applause]. [Music]. life hello beautiful people and welcome. back to our humble abod the Thunderdome. on this breaking news Tuesday March 4th. 2025 Hour 3 the program starts. now sport are awesome we're lucky to. cover them that's AJ Hawk the toxic. table is here at bosic Conor and at Tai. Schmidt one half of the Hammer Ball Cap. boys AP ton is here nine-year NFL vet.

Darius J Butler is here you look. fantastic debut all right it is a great. Tuesday because obviously the franchise. tag deadline is in an hour and 49. minutes will any other teams put the. franchise tags on their players we shall. wait and see what we do. know is our source say have told us that. the Super Bowl champ ion Philadelphia. Eagles have signed saquan Barkley to a. 2-year extension averaging over 20. million per year 36 million guaranteed.

at signing with 15 million more. available in incentives obviously nobody. had this in their bingo cards nobody had. a clue if saquan Barkley was going to. sign an extension they thought he took. less money to go to Philadelphia and. that thing was always settled instead. Howie in Money Team Ed who represents. sayquan Barkley decided to get together. do what was right for the most. electrifying the most dominant the most. powerful player in the NFL this year. behind a great offensive line a historic.

run to a Super Bowl champion and add two. more years at money that has never been. seen before at the running back position. now I have more information on this. entire thing regarding an extension for. running back one year in on a 3 plus. year free agency deal never been done. before not even in the second League. year has it happened for a running back. this is happening in the same league. year how he wanted to make it right for. sequin for everything he did for the. Philadelphia Eagles team this is the.

largest fully guaranteed for a running. back in NFL history it's the highest. two-year cash for running back in NFL. history it's the highest threeyear cash. for running back in NFL history Max. average per year possible if all the. incentives are hit. 25.858223 congratulations to saquan. Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles for. getting a historic legendary one of one. deal done for a oneof one running back.

who put the team on his back dough what. a deal what a time what a run by saquan. from whatever we saw on hard knock's off. season Joe Shane saying I don't think. we'll be able to pay that amount of. money with how much we're paying our. quarterback and everything like that the. Eagles have A50 plus million do. quarterback on the roster and now 20. million plus running back on the roster. while having AJ Brown Devonte Smith the. best offensive line in football and a. tight and Gard who's tougher than you.

are Howie has continued to somehow do. these magic tricks to stack a roster on. the defensive side they're going to have. to make some plays they're going to have. to add some people Bradberry gone Darius. SLE gone Zack Bond potential free agent. what will they do there we assume. they'll figure it out because that's. what they've done Nick serani big Dom. hoe and the entire squad over there. Bradley Cooper included keep saquon. Barkley and his powerful football team. together for at least another two years. on top of the deal they signed congrats.

to all parties AJ it's a big deal and I. think it's a good Olive Branch from the. Philadelphia Eagles to reward a player. that has done so many amazing things for. them in such a short time yeah I mean. credit to the Eagles and getting this. done 36 million guaranteed at signing. that's gigantic especially for the. running back position and yeah the fact. that they did this when they absolutely. did not need to they didn't have to this. is like a in good faith like hey you you. paid us back in So Much by the trade. that we made to bring you in here and. what you brought to this team in the. city I think this is awesome I we don't.

see this happen very often like you said. saquon is one of one this kind of deal. does very like never happens actually in. this kind of setting so yeah this is. awesome man like why I guess why not if. you have the cap space and you can make. it work why wouldn't you do this this. this energized your whole team and. remember saquon took less money to go to. the Philadelphia Eagles than he could. have got in numerous other places how. much he appreciated the culture the area. and the offensive line being able to. keep him around obviously how he knew. was like this is good but also keeping. him happy like hey let's let our star.

know that we love him here and let's. reward him for the year that they had. and we win a Super Bowl with this guy. let's run it back dbut I love this move. by the eagle man this is awesome this is. great how he kind of always Catches Us. by surprise nobody expected this to. happen you said first time ever going in. reup after the first year and um he took. he took less initially and it's kind of. like everything you've seen sequan do I. guess even in front of the camera we. don't see it all but like the game where. he didn't go back in to to finish his. single game rushing record or whatever. it was the single season record rushing. record set out that last game didn't.

chase that but got the ultimate goal. went and got the Super Bowl and now this. the team and the organization not doing. you know good by their player doing. great by him something that we've never. seen before coming off offensive player. of the year performance where he could. have very well been the MVP uh I love to. see this not only for saquan and the. Eagles but for that running back. position we've been talking about the. position coming back and once you get. that money you reset that market with SE. not a bunch of saquin out there. obviously but you reset that market so. you know these big uh workhorses to.

start getting their money again yeah. it's awesome for some of the younger. guys and and it it didn't change the. running back position but it feels like. it almost like redefined what you need. to have like you need to be able to. catch the ball out of the back field you. obviously need to be able to you know. take the ball 60 plus yards when when. you have that space and their own line. it is the best in the league so it's a. huge you know credit to them too but if. you're Gibbs if you're you know bejon. Robinson if you're even like a Kyon. Williams for the Rams you know at least. now you kind of know like okay I there. is this new market available for us and.

those older guys that kind of stinks and. it feels like even for like Derrick. Henry you would think maybe Derrik Henry. could get a new new deal from this but. even him he doesn't do what saquin does. when it comes to you know the. effectiveness in the past game and stuff. they use Justice Hill a little more. often than you know any of the other. running backs like the eagles get but. it's great for the running back position. cuz that's it's been a huge storyline. the last few years how many mill do you. think they added on for the jump over. backwards thingy he did oh that was at. least three at least had they're. probably yeah they're probably at like. 17 million a year and they were like but.

the check this you know the there it is. you see it he did that so let's make. sure we reward that and they're like. you're right that's at least three a. year and then with the incentives up to. 25 potentially per year what a deal. shout out to Money Team Ed yeah hey. shout out to Ed getting that deal done. that is a wonderful job especially you. know you talk about. everything the Eagles did not have to do. this at all at all nobody would have. really been able to grandstand about it.

either like hey you got to take care of. shaquin you got take two years left on. this entire deal like he just got there. like they had massive success nobody. would have been petitioning against the. Eagles for not reigning or giving saquon. Barkley more money like if saquon would. have came out which he allegedly would. never do with the human that saquan is. the way he operates and the way he's. beloved in that locker room but if. saquan was to come out in every single. interview and be like I need more money. I need more money I think Eagles fans.

would like be like yeah definitely see. also you got a couple years left in this. entire thing what's the predent how we. going to do this so I don't know how. like many people would have been like. yeah give him more money with how this. worked out so them just being like we. got to take care of our guy we got to. make sure he knows how much we value him. we got to make sure he understands that. we believe in everything that he's about. it's uh that's a beautiful thing to. watch sends a message to the rest of the. team though think about it sends a. message to the team too hey if you come. here and you do like you're unbelievable. and you're you know beh we don't see all.

the behind the scenes stuff we just know. what we hear and how the guy is just uh. you know the the the absolute pro at all. times and unbelievable for his teammates. but it shows you like hey we take care. of our dudes even though yeah we didn't. draft saquon we traded for him he comes. in and we take care of him and I wonder. who instigated who started this like did. Ed come to to the Eagles money Ed Barry. com in there and say hey now we need. some more cash or did they come to him. like that's how did this even start I. genuinely have no idea I wonder if there. was a conversation that was had that was. like hey don't you think by either side.

it's like yeah actually we should that. does make sense yeah yeah we should and. that's care of this guy that's the type. of culture I think they're trying to. build over there too right like zani. talks about how much bonding and love. and everything because there's is going. to be adversity especially in. Philadelphia okay there's going to be. adversity in Philadelphia their fans are. going to bring you some adversity. whether or not there is adversity I mean. winning games last year and people are. calling for heads they changed their. style of offense they're two wide. receivers who have been paid who are. number one wide receivers on their on. their own had less pass attempts than.

rushing attempts for the entire offense. and they still kept everybody on board. it's like that culture over there that. building is in a very good spot fresh. offens Super Bowl lose a couple key. pieces but this is what happens whenever. you're successful they keep saquin I. assume they're going to be able to keep. that offensive line and if you got that. you can win any game and I assume that's. what they know over there yeah it seems. like this would be something those is. mutual because obviously when they. acquired sequan like if he stays healthy. and he does all the things that you. think he can do you know he's going to. have an unbelievable season but I would.

even imagine that like what he did this. year surpassed their wildest. expectations I don't think you assume a. guy's going to rush for 2,000 yards and. for him too to realize like hey I'm from. this area growing up I went to Penn. State like this is where I want to be. for you know as long as I can be so yeah. if it's a little bit more money here why. not and for them to know like. the Eagles probably don't win the Super. Bowl if they don't have saquan Barkley. not probably yeah that's well right you. just you know I'm not trying to talk in. absolutes here but yeah like absolutely. if they don't have saquan Barkley.

they're not winning the Super Bowl so it. makes sense like let's not carry this. thing out and drag it out longer than it. needs to be let's make sure he's happy. and get things done like you said for. Howie like you can do this kind of stuff. when you have a bunch of rookies and. young guys who are immediate impact. players on your offense and defense and. you know and you get a guy like Zack. Bond who you paid for pennies and then. he has the season like he has so it's. just tremendous all around for the. Eagles and we when we talk about it. being a mutual deal situation there is a. chance because sometimes when players. get these extensions that the cap hit.

for this year could actually be better. than what it was going to be on his. current uh contract and they they do. have a ton of people to pay so in as far. as it being Mutual it could be a. situation like that too where his capit. is actually better this season even. though he's getting more money he's. getting an extension he's getting more. guaranteed money but it works out for. the team and the player go ahead AJ no I. mean I think that when you can spread it. out and you give a guy a deal it'll free. you up cap space like right now in the. moment so I'm sure yeah it worked out. for everybody we get to take care of. this guy that has done so much for this.

organization the short time he has been. here and it might free us up a little. bit in cap space even though we are. making this guy the highest paid running. back of all time I I bet you big Dom was. the one that said we needed do this. definitely definitely has something to. do with it but even with um cuz we were. talking about with the ners you know. having to move these pieces around. because you have to pay your quarterback. back like how we paid Jaylen Herz but. his cap hit is like super low like he's. you know making 51 a year but his cap. hit is to the point where they can have. all this flexibility where people were.

still talking about hey they may be in. the miles Garrett you know Ballpark and. making that work somehow some way and. and it's it's one thing to talk about it. AJ talked about this deal doing this at. this point sends a message to the locker. room and it's one way one thing to talk. about it but we all know in business. like the money is how you show your. respect especially in that locker room. especially at that position when you are. taking that risk to give that money to a. running back position we look we looked. at it a few weeks ago all the guys on. the Eagles roster who has already been. paid with this o line the guys on the. dline secondary all up and down at.

roster guys have gotten fear good. contracts up front so once again another. great move from How I wonder you know. McVey says I want to see as opposed to. hear or something like that I can see. how you feel a lot different than hear. how you feel or something like I forget. his exact quote what it was it's like to. your point it's like yeah we love you we. love you we love you here and then. actually being like now yeah like Hey. we're like very grateful for you man. thank you for what you did that's not. that Sequon R not be all in but I'm just. saying the amount of buyin that you have.

from stars now Jaylen Super Bowl. champion paid Allin saquan Super Bowl. champion paid Allin it's like having. your guys be Allin is good news for the. off season going into training camp just. the easy of the mind taking distractions. out of the way because there's always. going to be them and uh I love the move. taking care of their guy taking care of. their guy make it'll make you want to. prove them right like we know like. athletes you're driven by proving people. wrong like all right I hate this person. they slided me I a chip on my shoulder.

like there's a ton of motivation in that. but there's also motivation in trying to. prove people right like hey these people. believe in me like these front office. they didn't have to do this and I think. that trickles down through everybody in. the roster like you if you feel like. they like it's a it's a true partnership. and they appreciate you yeah you want to. do whatever it takes to prove them right. joining us now ladies and gentlemen is a. man who spends all his time on ESPN and. even when he's on ESPN he says he's not. going to spend all his time on ESPN then. he comes back to being on ESPN which is. good news for all of us ladies and. gentlemen former NFL quarterback now.

expert on everything football and ESPN. Dan rovski. Dan obviously uh you know the John's. well uh your wife I believe from. Philadelphia you pay close attention to. the Eagles because of that you've said. some things throughout the year about. the Eagles you weren't the only one a. lot of people have said these things but. this deal that Howie and saquin were. able to get done through Money Team Ed. Barry uh I love it not only like is it. historic amongst running backs and.

everything like that but just there was. no need for it and for the Eagles to say. we want to take care of of our guy I. think that's a good precedent to set. with the football Gods Dano did this. just happen yeah I just broke it. bub so 20 so we got a two-year extension. for what 40 40.1 or something yeah but. with incentives incentives included it. could go up to. 2.85 million per year if he hits all. incentives which I assume is everything. he did this past. season Howe Roseman God bless isn't it.

two years left on a deal two years left. on a deal could have just waited it out. nobody would be petitioning for saquan. instead get a deal done in the off. season here now we got no question marks. on who our studs are Dio I also think I. think Philadelphia for years I mean I. remember going back I think like 10. years they were always or one of the. teams that was always paying guys a year. early like so often teams wait till and. places wait till the person's contract. up or a player's contract is up and it's.

to like the very end of it and I. remember I thought they did it maybe. with like Fletcher Cox and Lane Johnson. where they just choose to pay hey we. drafted you you're in your second year. we're just going to extend you because. you we know you're a good player and. whatnot so um. Philadelphia that means right now it's. the best roster in football clearly and. it certainly seems like they've added. but it's it's uh awesome to see it's one. of the reasons why it seems like those. people love playing there is how he does. take care of them um and so it's big.

time for them yeah I agree they'll. continue to stay committed to the Run. game I think they had 715 rushes 55. passes uh last season it was like they. clearly committed to the one over the. other kept everybody happy and won a. Super Bowl which means all the teams are. going to try to do the same exact thing. so not only trailblazing in this entire. thing they're also taking care of their. guys that are doing it all good for the. Eagles man good for Philadelphia hey. that's that's the city that's the City. of Brotherly Love that's right that's. City brotherly love right there no doubt.

the amount of the runs that happened I. remember I texted Kellin I think some. point maybe late September early you say. hey I'm trying to get serion fired for. you to become the head. coach and I said uh okay I don't know. exactly how the the conversation was. started or whatnot probably like that. got it got it got it okay go ahead I. honestly think that we can break the. amount like the rushing attempts record. that was like the mindset flipped for. them at some point late September maybe.

he was after the Buy and Hold the whole. stories of the offensive line going to. him but he I remember him telling me. like we we honestly might try and break. the rushing attempts record okay so. congrats to the Eagles everybody's going. to try to catch them especially in this. you know draft uh season free agency. season franchise tag season they're at. the top of the mountain everybody's. trying to catch up before we talk about. everything happening in the football. world let's talk about you for a second. what was all that [ __ ] about welcome. back yeah you all right thought thought.

you were dying well it was like you were. gone for forever and then we just saw. you on TV and I was like can't believe. you're all right okay a that I thought. was pulling Jimmy. Johnson calling it yeah Jimmy Johnson. congrats on a hell of a career in the. football World football appreciates. Jimmy Johnson for everything done to. football listen uh that I honestly don't. know why that became such a big deal um. hon I do that no I don't I do that I do.

that same thing my a day or two after. the Super Bowl every year I go from. being on TV every day and then taking a. pretty substantial break and so I was. just saying like hey I'll be going away. is there a reality that there's a. business element of it coming at some. point sure but that's the I do that. every year okay you capping dog okay we. don't know if you capping or not we have. not paid close enough attention we do. know we No Cap okay no cap he says No. Cap he say he's not capping he.

said. no he's capping might you say go check. do no cap I you can go check the find. First Take the day or two after the last. three Super Bowls I said basically the. same oh we can tell if he ca it yeah but. this year you you know added a few. crying emojis and everyone want to get. your tissue yeah but it was real life it. wasn't actual tweets it was real life. I'm gone a little bit it seemed a little. bit more emotional this time a real part. of that yeah that's a real thing that's.

a real it was a long season too and you. were on TV every single day so whenever. you know the abrupt absence of Dan. rovski we all feel it so we appreciated. the heads up but I think a lot of people. thought it was a little bit more serious. I think because the business end it also. leaked that maybe there is a timeline on. all that well we would like to you to. know we miss you when you're not on TV. and we're happy you're back yeah welcome. back D not you sign a deal not you sign. a deal I'm not hey I'm not back you are. on t wait wait wait what back though you.

were going mad dummy yesterday on TV no. I I worked. yesterday um because it was the Monday. after the NFL combine I'll be on two. days next week because it's NFL free. agency okay um I think I work a day or. two at the end of these are the final. days in a SC we're winding down pting. he's pting he's not patting he's just. he's just he's just a matter of fact. right now he's patting around that. office I can see it now he said they got. me booked two days next week two days.

the following week we got the combine. the draft that's why I'm in there doing. I'm doing my job but there's a. conversation that needs to be had I. think is what Dan rovski is saying and. what we'd like to say we're going to. enjoy every appearance that you make we. are we should record them all appear you. made that's not Faith uh are you. sure that's the police the police the. police. not the police heard of not a Diddy song.

It's a sting song sting that's not. that's not real it's the police dude as. well so this is the sting version I. think sting sang it first no every. appearance you. made still in black art huh for granted. we won't that's. okay so you're going to B for Diddy. right now no no no no that's what it. sounds. like new song You're South.

Beach I just want to say what I would. like to say is the appearances that you. will be making over the course of the. next few weeks we will definitely take. in and enjoy because we think you are. fantastic on the television which is why. it was good to see you yesterday great. to see you right now and whatever. happens in the future we'll obviously. support you FR of the program since the. beginning oh yeah Dan they were talking. WWE yesterday in getting in the oh yeah. you guys talk about Cena a little bit I. saw John Stewart talked about it as well. I don't know if you saw that that was. pretty brilliant I did not pretty.

brilliant pretty see that Montage I say. uh it was just look up John Stewart and. that's good it's worth the walk boy he. really he really brings it all together. we. do what Hill Turn like shook the. wrestling world more the Hogan one or. the Cena one so the Hogan one was in WCW. hog uh the Cena one is a massive ordeal. just strictly because it hasn't be it. hasn't been publicly stated about Hulk. that he would never turn heel now.

granted it might have happened in the. sheets and everything like that but. nowadays with how much coverage and. social media and everything it's been. addressed so many times that scene is. never going to turn John Cena is a guy. that is always a good guy that is who he. is and then he signs up for this. retirement tour this one more tour and. it's like okay everybody's going to get. to John Cena one last time. M and instead this a brand new John Cena. this is a this is a heel John Cena who. sold his soul to the final BS wow and. it's like now the next 10 months I'm. excited to see what it looks like I have.

no idea what dude how many times do you. think the rock practiced that how many. times has he done it before a billion. that was probably one he doesn't. practice to do it yeah he just goes out. there I was this Dad in then peace is. what he said yeah send him on his way. brother kill him I was thinking that's. not the countdown it's been reported now. there's a chance that there is a. little you know there's a chance cuz he. getes one yeah two mhm three yeah and.

it's like well Cena's thing is the three. thing exactly and then he does two there. after the thing so what's the one could. be well the one could be the only one. [ __ ] we need to go back and watch a tape. and figure out uh who um ruptured um. Cody's eardrum some that is being. reported that uh can't figure out who. Cody did r blow his eard drum and he did. yeah we think we're not 100% sure but we. think Tris SC hit we think we we don't. know if might be we don't know that. could be it right there yeah we don't.

know if he ruptured his eardrum there uh. or if he ruptured his eardrum but he's. being reported online I do not know more. than anybody else legitimately they. don't tell me anything but yeah it was. reported that he ruptured his eardrum. and I I'll tell you what I've had a hole. in my eardrum for years and decades at. this point yeah not fun it changes it is. uh it is it is not a fun thing to deal. with I believe when you're in buds to. become a Navy SEAL if you get a hole in. your eardrum or rupture your eardrum. they actually hold you back until the.

next one because underwater and all the. different pressure and everything that. is a part of it like it can really it. can really water is where it really get. you so Cody's going to be shy and. oneeyed you know potentially if the. allegations are true but feels like. Travis Scot can bring a smack if he. needs to all right let's talk a little. football shall we Dan um so I would say. the scena turn is the biggest just. strictly because I think I was younger. when the Hulk Hogan thing happened and. certain it was awesome because NWO was a. fantastic run and doing it on Macho the.

way it went down but now with how much. it's been discussed and what we're in. the middle of 10 months left of this. thing I thought it was just like a come. see come see the hustle loyalty respect. guy like one last time and now it's the. complete opposite something we've never. been told break a. wish but I don't know cuz didn't the. hoer say he's still getting booed from. riding dirty down in California that's a. good point last time he was there though. him and Hall in Nash last time he was in. LA he was riding dirty you know bad guys. maybe that's why they boot him anyways.

let's move along to some football. chatter because we only got so many days. left with we lost that's right that's. sad man maybe maybe maybe um play the. hits brother Daniel I saw you getting a. little bit emotional on television about. Sam darnold you're a believer in Sam. darnold you think he had two bad games. at the end of the year cuz we were. talking one point maybe he gets 50. million a year he's going to be the um. you know the creme DEA Creme of this. particular Quarterback free agent. circuit now everybody's just assuming I. guess the conversation is's going to go.

back to the Vikings you know the Giants. El met the number for Matthew Stafford. well they meet the number for Sam. darnold then like what are your thoughts. on Sam darnold and what do you think it. looks like for him next year yeah it's. kind of weird how ever since those last. two games happened it's been like the. instead of celebrating Sam darnold it's. been the yeah but about Sam darnold did. you see the last two games and I kind of. talked about it yesterday if you go back. to when Gino Smith went to Seattle and. all of a sudden had that one awesome. year it was like oh you know Gino can. play and finally had the right stuff.

around and coaching and all that and. then Baker Mayfield gets Cast Away from. Cleveland and he can't play and this guy. stinks and all a sudden he goes down to. Tampa I know he went to two quick stops. but nothing glamorous he goes to Tampa. plays and it's like oh Baker could play. a little bit like Jared gof as well like. hey you know Jared gof went from hey. stinks to oh Jared gof can play and so I. don't understand kind of a little bit of. the soured narrative around Sam um I. think the part of it too is like last. those last two games I'm not making.

excuses for him but it's the first time. he's been in it I guess that's the first. time he's ever felt that as a pro that. pressure that. expectation it was a little bit house. money this past year because there. wasn't certainly expectations going into. the season um I I think for Sam the the. conversation so Minnesota if I was. Minnesota it would start with Sam. darnold there's a line of demarcation. that I would not cross and obviously not. everyone's correct I heard Herby say it. like it does have what's your Viewpoint.

of JJ McCarthy because it's not just Sam. versus JJ it's Sam versus JJ and like 30. or 40 million so maybe the organization. sits there and goes hey we think JJ's. going to be just as productive as Sam in. the next year year and a half and we. really need to take that 30 or 40. million and build up our secondary or. build up our you know inside linebacker. group or something and so if they. believe that the JJ McCarthy plus the. money gives them a better team and they. think JJ is going to be simar production.

there's a line that you don't go past I. also from Sam's perspective you know Sam. went through quarterback hell. essentially for his first I don't know. six years in the league and how much. does he really want to leave that cocoon. that insulation that support that he has. in Minnesota like are you going to run. and say well Minnesota's only offer off. me three for 100 and Pittsburgh's. offering me four for you know. 120 is Pittsburgh that 20 million that. much of a difference for you because the.

places quarterback friendly wise aren't. even close so you be getting more. average per year with the Vikings there. I think you'd take that one right four. for 120 is 30 a year three for 100 is 33. you know what let's say I'm just saying. the deal that you put out there was one. that I think he he's getting paid more. at the Vikings and he doesn't have to. move and he's with Kevin oconnell but I. understand what you're saying for him do. you want to leave same thing with. Matthew Stafford do you want to get up. and move do you want to do that entire. thing yet again whenever you know you. have success here the threshold is a.

very real convo I think probably with. the Vikings and Sam darnold I'm also. excited to see JJ with Kevin oconnell if. that is the case a lot of weapons a lot. of success will they be able to do it. again where's Sam go let's talk about. another Domo I've heard Kevin loves I've. heard Kevin loves McCarthy loves him I. think Kevin would love anybody yeah I I. I think Kevin would love anybody I think. he's like a great coach I think he cares. I think he's I think he's a great coach. I think he's a great ball coach over. there got a great culture let's St with. the quarterback Dominos though go ahead. com man yeah Dana what do you think. about Rogers you know he's kind of.

another one of those guys out there that. you let's assume he is playing do you. think there's one spot or a couple spots. that line up perfectly for him and do. you think that maybe teenss will. consider almost a package deal with. devvon now he's a free agent that they. might be able to poach him as well if. they were to sign. Rogers I think there three spots that. make sense for me and Aaron Rogers the. Giants the Steelers and the Titans I'll. start with I'll start with the Titans. one if they're for some reason adamant. that they're not going to take cam Ward.

I don't think they should do that I. think that they should take cam Ward but. if they decide we're not taking cim Ward. and we're going to trade out of the. number one pick or something like that. the reality is this there's there is a. little and I love Callahan their head. coach I know Brian that he's going to. have to win he's gonna have to have a. quarterback play relatively well this. season that's he was hired for that and. so that's the reality of their business. and so you know if they decide maybe. it's will Levis and Aaron competing. against each other for that job I can. understand that one the second one would.

be the Giants I said this yesterday like. let's live in the world where um cam. Ward goes number one to Tennessee and. then Cleveland takes Travis Hunter if I. think if Cam Ward goes number one to. Tennessee Cleveland should Sprint to the. prodium podium for Travis Hunter at. number two so then the Giants at three. are you taking shador at three I think. shador is a good player I do at three. feels High okay that's just my opinion. right now we'll see if that changes over. the next couple weeks I don't think it.

will so then if you're the Giants do you. say nope we're going to go get I don't. know maybe they trade down or something. like that or whoever they pick at three. again if Travis Hunter was there youd. run to the podium but then you go well. let's take a player at three or trade. down at three and then in the second. round or maybe they go back into the. first is it Jackson Dart or is it Jaylen. milro I go I don't think Jackson Dart. gets past the 20th pick in my opinion so. I if I think you're going to have to go.

past the Pittsburgh so if you're the. Giants I think you'll have to go back to. first round if you don't remember Brian. dable has ties to Nick Savin you guys. have obviously and Pat you on Game Day. have heard Nick Savin talk about milro. and I know he's flawed I'm aware that he. is flawed but my goodness there is a ton. of talent physically there and you're. then going dble and Shane they got a win. by November and so can you sign Aaron. for a brief period of time he's your. starting quarterback he keeps you afloat.

and then if things are okay or you want. to change or milrose ready or something. like that then you have the next guy to. go to and then if if it's Pittsburgh and. Justin and Russell don't go back there. um I still think they need to add a. young kid but Aaron would make sense yes. Aaron um what a fascinating d AJ what do. you think he plays again right it's not. like he's just going to retire yeah I. have a hard time seeing him just turn it. off and stop playing yeah why do you. think that is every year that this has. come up you've given like basically a. similar answer and I forget it so I.

apologize he's at the end of a career. he's Hall of Famer he's the wealthiest. NFL player in the history of anything he. gets everything he does gets I mean. absolutely crucified like do you think. there's any chance that he just says all. right that's it yeah I mean I think. there's I think everything's on the. table with Aaron you know that like we. don't know exactly what he I'm sure I. don't know if he knows exactly what he's. going to do but I just you know being. around him how competitive he is how. well he can how well he played at the. end of the season yeah I have a hard. time believing that he's just going to. hang it up yeah I think that's the thing.

from my conversations with him and we've. been very lucky to be friends with Aaron. Rogers over the last five years and we. don't hang out with him nearly as much. or talk to him nearly as much as AJ or. anybody that played alongside of him and. his teammates and everything like that. but it's like everybody kind of talks. about you know no kids no family this. dude focused on ball everything he does. is for ball like and you talk about why. do you love the NFL and it's like I love. the NFL because it is my outlet to. scratch the itch of my competitive urge.

like he loves competition and it's like. if you're that good still able to be. that committed and another team is like. hey we know it didn't go right with the. Jets but we think we have the right. situation for you I see him playing ball. G I can't wait to watch it I mean I too. what's his relationship with Tom like. good Tom Brady Brady yeah like my mind. goes to end of Tom's career Tampa the. overwhelming obvious thing was how good. the offensive line was and then their. success he got beat up in New York so I.

would imagine he wants to go to a place. that that is going to not be a concern. like he's got to get tired of getting. hit he got healthy to AJ's point after. the I don't know November and he started. to play better because he was getting. hit less so I you know the Raiders got. two really good young offensive linemen. I would would also entertain like if. they're able to three Colton Miller is. still good so if they can get an. offensive line piece in free agency. maybe that becomes also a destination I. I don't know what his and Tom's. relationship is like uh but I would.

imagine the number one thing is I got to. be I got to be protected like I don't. want to get hit anymore didn't they play. catch during that golf thing right hav. Tau you would know more than us. AJ oh and they did like their version of. the match yeah I they seem to get along. I think they get along great I think. there's a couple of those dudes that are. that can only have conversations with a. couple of those dudes you know yeah I. think that is like pton and Tom get. along vastly different people I think if. you the way they go about doing. everything but they get along well Aaron. vastly different than both of those guys.

but I assume that there is a you know. like hey we are uh we get it here you. know the air a little bit different our. conversation's a little bit different. hey have you seen every single defense. over the last 30 years yeah me too okay. if you beat every single D yeah oh me. too whenever you see this what is this. Tom Brady being as Hands-On as he is. with the Raiders is a that was an eye. opener for me you know like I think the. quarterback's going to be in a good spot. let's say they don't go with veteran. quarterback though let's say they go.

with a Young quarterback Ty has a. question for you yeah Dan you just. mentioned it a little bit there and I. assume you've looked at some of the tape. at this point what are your thoughts on. this year's QB draft class and also you. had a tweet about cam Ward where he. basically said like his tape wasn't as. expected was that in a negative or a POS. positive. context yeah big time positive context. after I've watched basically every snap. maybe a game or two still of cams so for. me CAM word reminds me a lot of Baker. Mayfield what I mean by that is there is.

a a loose element to his game but a. Twitchy element to his game where that. ball comes out like once his eyes tell. him throw it it happens fast and that's. a trait that I love in quarterback play. like that was the thing with Jaden. Daniels is how quick he played the thing. that I was ref ing in that tweet and you. guys are going to show like these plays. happen like the runaround plays the. thing that got me so much more excited. about cam word and made me really. appreciate how good of a player he is is. what he does from the pocket in timing.

you know his that throw was awesome and. so I wasn't expecting that tie like I. wasn't expecting this guy that from the. pocket was so much more in rhythm in. timing in with his feet and the I mean. those throws are awesome and so when I. watch him throw over the Middle Field. and the different types of throws and. his the the windows that he sees and. when that back right foot hits that ball. pops out of his hand like there the. playmaking is there and so that's like. for me why I if I'm Tennessee and I.

remember I said this years ago when. Cincy was on the number one pick with. Joe like that there this is what he does. as good as Gosh guys that have come out. early in this draft over the past couple. years that back right foot hits man and. he puts that ball in between the numbers. so clean sometimes there's a little. touch sometimes it's driven and so the. way he's married his feet with some of. the throws I love um and the playmaking. is there so um I like that he measured. 6'2 like my only two downsides Tai would.

be this my only two I guess. hesitations I'll go back to the story. about Joe when I was like if Cincinnati. I don't care what the trade offer is. you're taking Joe burrow I don't care if. someone offers you three first round. picks you are not moving off of it I'm. not that close to where I was in regards. to that situation but I don't think. Tennessee should move number one okay um. I think the two hesitations or I don't. want to call him concerns but the things. he's 6'2 I would love for him to be 6'4. yes he's 6'2 okay so it's not a major.

problem but okay and then he will make. you hold your breath at times um there. are some moments where you're like what. are you going to do here and then more. often than not it works out well in. college I don't know if it how. consistantly would in the NFL but I. think he's the clear clear clear clear. for me clear number one pick everybody. has to hold their breath around other. teams when Cam's playing cuz they stinky. dog that's no C they stinky they. stinky yeah that wasn't it that's what. that means what the hell was that dude. yeah what did you just do that's what.

this. means don't be throwing. your don't be throwing your heart out. he's not an elephant. D anyways uh you talk about him being on. time and everything like that 6'2 and. all that good stuff for cam Warden his. arm strength is obviously very much. alive and you know you watch clips of. him working out love everything he's. about uh what Chris Ball says about what. he did to that culture down there just. getting dropped in flipping it and just.

becoming a great culture all of a sudden. out of nowhere they give him a lot of. credit for being able to Rally motivate. and unify so all the good qualities of a. and he comes from an athletic family too. like you know his I think cousin or. uncle is quandre Diggs whose brother is. Quinton Jammer so and I text to quandre. about him like tell me what kind of. human he is and quandre is like he's as. much of a dog as I've ever been around. like and he's an unbelievable leader. super hard worker and he was like. honestly the fact that he's in this. position blows my mind because as a.

quandre is gonna be mad that I said to. this he's like as a kitty sucked so he's. he's got he end up at I mean yeah he. caret ward he caret Ward to Washington. State to Miami to potential number one. overall pick It's like got to work your. ass off for that that would make sense. to be a dog if that was the trip that. you had to take uh tone has a question. for you Dan yeah Dan uh we learned last. week that uh when Chris Balor talked. that they are going to have an open. competition with Anthony Richardson for. their starting quarterback who do you.

think that quarterback should be you you. think that's a good sign for the uh. number four overall pick third year. coming in okay that was kind of it's not. a good sign for Anthony yeah we know. that was kind of a loaded question we. know it's not surprising I think there's. a lot of people on the table they're not. going to be able to spend a ton of money. on guys um you know Daniel Jones. obviously comes to mind because he might. be cheap um doing guys a good fit Sam's. not going to go there Aaron maybe you.

know again for a place that you feel. needs some leadership and needs some we. gotta go win uh you know I could see. Aaron um. jamus no J yeah Fields jamus hey jamus. comes that might be exactly what IND one. I like Justin and New York with the Jets. a little bit better um because I mean if. you're Indie you want someone there. obviously like you want someone there to. push Anthony but you want Anthony to be. the guy so you know Justin is still such.

an unknown um and I I think Justin will. have better opportunity for lot things. are here lot are here we know who's who. we know who's what don't we a lot of. things kind of already been inside you. know we're looking for dogs need dogs. need more dogs we love dogs I wish we. could transfer portal our. team just get a new one still there huh. huh after combine still there I've heard. more you have no idea D I've I've heard. I've heard more it's like they I don't.

know how they become professionals but. hopefully they will you know for the. good I was in buildings like that we. usually lost every game when we were. like that it's going to be different. this year yeah got too much talent. that's the issue though so much talent D. you had guys like showing up late and. not just not you know do stuff that you. should do when you're third grade like. just the basics they weren't doing Bingo. yeah just the the simplest stuff like. dude I remember we had guys that would. come out to practice which sneakers on. we were on grass now sneakers not turf.

shoes not cleats sneakers not tide so. loose sneakers just shorts on not even. like a a girdle or anything and just a. practice jersey with helmet unbuckled. they would run a rep in practice. probably do something pretty impressive. because they were athletically talented. they would take the ball throw it back. to the coach and then walk back to the. Huddle take the next six or seven plays. off give me a water [ __ ] sounds like. one guy yeah dude I remember we had guys. not even like you know in the season.

you'd have a a day or two where you got. to get like your mandatory LIF in pre-. or post practice or something we'd have. guys go into the weight room and not. touch a weight just never just stand. there and not lift that's awesome that's. there's these little losing culture. things that happen and you know you. don't even think about you don't even. think about like going into a workout. okay this you're a [ __ ] professional. athlete and just taking laps around not. lifting away and then you're out of. there you just [ __ ] the you just. [ __ ] the team you did not get better.

at all you're getting paid to be a. football player this weight room will. make you a better football player but. instead saying nah not doing it and I'm. not saying I've seen anybody take that. particular tactic but it's all those. little things that are like the. professional things you know they say. the little things lead to the big things. take care of the little things the big. things will take care of themselves it's. like those little things what make you. professional like that's what makes you. a professional in this whole thing and. it's like I don't think it's just the. Colts obviously it's alarming how much. it seemingly is the Colts but there is. and they can stop it and they'll change. it next year but I think it's happening.

in a lot of places Dan I think it's. happening in a lot of plac a lot more. than it's ever been obviously McDaniel. talked about with the fins in Miami oh. yeah you can find guys I wonder if it's. uh ni an n n nil thing like these guys. are coming in with a little bit more. money in their pockets or name name name. name name image likeness there is a. chance that um yeah there isn't a. feeling of oh I can get cut you know or.

oh I'm lucky to be here instead it's. complete opposite he's [ __ ]. lucky I'm here yeah they you know. entitled it yeah I was always scared yes. to death yeah yeah yeah like if if I. made one mistake I'm like all right let. me get fired even in like my seventh. year I was like yeah if I if I don't do. it I'm going to get fired so yeah that's. always a nice thing Adam veter thought. if he missed the kick in practice he was. going to get cut I felt it was at the. point where kick he was trying yeah you. weren't if you did miss a kick in. practice you probably were cut if I had.

to guess all right Dan this is it last. chance you make this 33 yard field goal. go yeah you can keep your jum but as hey. true story you remember Matt Prader yes. no yeah great kicker so they got to a. point I don't know how it happened later. in my career is what Conor just yeah. yeah I got some preder stories now um no. way and we we were late in my career and. something happened where I had to like. hold I had to become the holder and I. Sam Martin was holding for us I don't.

know what happened or but I had to like. get reps in practice and holding and I. was terrible at it and I. remember constantly Prader would I'd get. the snap put it down missed a kick and. prayer just mother F me under his breath. because then he started to like get the. shanks and all that he was like I'm. gonna get fired from you this guy's. rooting my timing this guy's obviously. terrible at his job not easy to hold but. you change that timing up just a little. bit so hard game two practices I wanted. debut to be like my holder you know I.

wanted debut to be my holder cuz I was. backup kicker in practice and if I was. if something was to happen to Vinnie. which could happen because he was. getting older even though never did cuz. he's a machine uh he's absolutely a. beast 25 years in AB Biz doing his thing. whatever the case is but like they want. I want to debut to be the I'm like but. smoothest athlete I've ever seen I think. that'll be the that's that's easy choice. this [ __ ] guy. suck he terrible terrible he was. terrible the laces are on the Snapp the.

laces are on the snpp it's on the. Snapper I just I had an easy job yeah. see he just went with the wrong the. crazy thing about snapping was you lean. you lean the ball towards the goal post. is that accurate yeah and away from you. the kicker right yeah that's a good call. actually by DB not everybody wants the. ball leaning towards the goal post. someone it straight up and down nobody. wants it leaning back everybody wants I. would be lean yeah that's why you're not. you know and hopefully they hold you. accountable hopefully they hold you. accountable good luck uh holder can miss.

a kick for the kicker though easily just. sure like let's say holder hated the. kicker just [ __ ] just like that it's. [ __ ] miss say hey good luck good luck. you could be back you lean it towards. the kicker you lean the ball towards the. kicker at all and it's a soccer style. kicker with everybody is [ __ ] that's. you if that's anything over 30 yards. that thing's hooking to the LIF it's. just like nobody talks about it like and. after watching these punting this pting. workout at the combine where nobody.

could catch a football and then like. these holds were like really slow like. very very slow which is my message to. the punters like Dam you guys punt so. well like these dudes are so good at. punting footballs they just got to get. comfortable catching a football you know. cuz it's a little different sport. they're used to pting the like whether. it's aie R's football it's coming up. from the top catching up there a dart. coming right at you or something coming. right at you is a different style they. can certainly learn how to do that but. not everybody does but like for the. holding how quickly you get onto the.

ground this is DB but's problem dbut had. too good of hands you know so that ball. comes in. it's stock to and it's the ball slow as. [ __ ] down to the ground so by the time. the time comes to kick it it's like. balls down and you're kicking so you. have no idea what it is so like the goal. is to have good hands but not too good. and just a [ __ ] that Ball's trying to. get down on the ground as fast as. possibly can so vinary has as much time. to see his Target that he's trying to. hit and then let's not move that [ __ ]. thing either if the ball's moving while. he kicks it Miss if it's leaning towards.

am I right the great Snappers the great. Snappers just snap the ball basically so. you just have to go like this that's. what they're judged on and the the laces. the laces are 99 out of 100 times. already pointing at the goalpost that's. what you're aiming for it the the goal. is for the laces to be from like 9:00 to. 3:00 if you look at a a clock okay 9 to. three so that then it's just like a. little touch a little easy portrayal but. that is what the long sampers are being.

judged for there's only 32 jobs so if. you can't snap laces and you can't hit a. your ass is gone and it's like I started. talking about you know those kids become. a great Long Snapper who ton bombs. really like he said out of the blue he. said the kid never even like played foot. football and then like in the last year. he started to Long snap I think he's. going to like Michigan for long snapping. that's awesome that's a good that's a. good angle to get in there too. especially for good you got to be. consistent I assume he will be I'm. surprised tanon bomb didn't try to trade. him for like a starting quarterback or.

something a Long Snapper for two. starting quarterbacks stand one that's a. tanon bomb pitch draft. proposal he's awesome he I don't know. where best I don't know where the [ __ ]. this comes from but we'll turn on the TV. tan bomb is trading two quarterback a. defensive end for four picks and three. teams are involved that say they are not. doing anything yeah the Rams were taking. on Sean Watson's contract yeah Waton. about that Les need you eat the contract.

for the Cleveland Browns and you get. miles Garrett it's like he's been in. those rooms so he obviously knows the. fantasy camp I guess that takes place. with these trades but some of the things. he puts up there I'm like who the. they're unreal who the [ __ ] they're. unreal what's that they're unreal like. yesterday when he said trade Michael. Parsons for Miles Garrett I was like why. not just pay Michael Parsons yeah shut. up D that's not all works he but I. appreciate that he does it it gives us. all F best gives F and the 33rd team I.

believe is becoming like a fullon. consulting firm you know so oh nice good. for them good for everything they got. operating and uh Dano last question here. from debut and it's about the current. NFL so let's get it right please and of. course Dan will I saw you mention uh we. were talking about Hasan mcve on. yesterday Stafford going back to RS. obviously a huge deal but uh I still got. Philly clearcut as the best team in the. NFC I know we're pre free agency. pre-draft but standing as is right now. who is kind of nipping at their heels. right now is it the commies the Rams the.

Lions healthy who you got in the NFC. right behind Philly or do you have. someone coming in above Philly next year. no I think Philly is still the number. one team roster wise and I would put the. r at two obviously a lot can change for. agency draft I go back to the regular. season saying hey like that's the team. that they don't want to play and I. remember Darius SLE last week or two. weeks ago said that that was the team in. their mind that they knew could beat. them like they they knew because of the. style of ball and Stafford so I would. put the Rams at two listen Detroit is.

outstanding but I want to see what it. looks like with without Ben Johnson. there offensively it's still a great. talent offensively I just don't know a. ton about their new offensive. coordinator John Morton so you know. Detroit there I think Green Bay is still. very much so just right there as well I. think everyone puts the commanders there. I'm not as high on that as I think the. commanders and I said this yesterday. dbut you guys know it l them praise them.

congrats awesome year won five games on. the last play that's not real in the NFL. you win three of those and and that's. that's not that real and so while you. give them praise for that I also think. they can't fall into the Trap that maybe. like the Giants did a couple years ago. on DA's first year when they somehow. stumbled into the playoffs and like oh. maybe we're closer than we thought we. were and then you you make some. decisions because you think maybe we're. this move away or that move away and I. think the commanders have to have a.

mindset of you know what we we're still. building and we're still trying to chase. down some of those teams to get into. that upper grouping rather than there. are some teams that you go we're a move. away like we're we're a guy away and I. don't put command I don't put the. commanders in there just yet I still. think I want to see what their makeup is. post free agency and draft let's not get. too comfortable here okay you got a lot. of sacks but he also didn't get blocked. for a bunch of times so let's uh let's. know that we can continue to get better. here if you're the commanders you got to. feel good especially bringing in Debo I. saw you love that move I saw you love.

that move yeah no team throws more. screens perimeter screens than. Washington so like if there's a guy in. the NFL that you want to get the ball to. in his hands and just you go do. something with it it's Debo wasn't the. player that he's been in the past last. year there's a lot of reasons for that. San Francisco's offensive line pass. protection is not what it was in years. ago and the injury so I still and the. versatility like they love you know like. pace and space their offense runs no. huddle so you could put a bunch of. different people on the field and the. defense is scrambling you could put them. at the back field and so uh they love to.

run two backs you can certainly utilize. him in that capacity so if he's anything. what he was in that three or foure. stretch it's a home run for Washington. we're looking for some Pace In Space. wait B in. space we're looking for some Bing race. to win the race just wait wait wait is. that your coaching philosophy did you. dive into that because potentially going. to be coaching this year you know with. all your media stuff happening I got two. appearances next week and then and. that's it two appearances two weeks.

after that we're going to see me again. and I have't really checks but I got one. appearance after that what are you doing. for the draft Dan see you what are you. doing for the draft. Dan I think we'll be there I think we we. would be out in Green Bay be my guest. that must be nice we won't be because. NFL doesn't want us there. what you heard if you saw the picture. you should have seen no I heard I heard. yesterday when you guys were making fun. of Deb bet for wearing a fake Golf. Course hat so I heard oh wow a real Golf. Course still wearing country club would.

think I know where you stand now Dan. yeah interesting that danski would take. a shot at the Compton Country Club never. would have guessed that that makes sense. never would have guessed that huh. Connecticut I can't be real all right he. but are you a member it's too far Dan no. well it doesn't mean he's not real I saw. the golf swing on Instagram recently. good I wish I played as much golf as you. dude it's coming as long he just took. six weeks off I mean yeah you stop. crying the low number of course low num. is.

they weren't touching my feet it was. great everything other than when they. were touching my feet it's a big part it. was cool it was cool it was cool to be a. part of Miami so far it is I don't know. how you were traveling down there and. back so much and you still are that. place is so far away the traffic in. Miami I I experienced for the first time. was bananas also came back in first conf. he like snow waed dolphins dolphins I. spent 5 days in Miami Dolphins got no. shot of winning football lot of. distractions there's no way man lot of.

distractions God Rest his soul vonte. Davis when he got traded to the Colts. was awesome obviously the moment got. called my grandma and then he comes to. the Colts and we had just seen that as. well you know so we had no idea what to. expect then you get a chance to start. talking to vonte and everything and he. talks about how like Indianapolis like. saved him like oh yeah being in Miami. was he there was a lot going on a lot of. options a lot of options and I'd hear. these stories uh from him whether.

whether we were in a training room or in. one of the tubs you know kind of in. there just passing time trying not to be. as miserable and I just thought to. myself every time real happy P AC you. never got sent down in Miami at that age. at that time lot of opportunity lot of. opportunity down there everything is. easy to Garner down there and it's. readily available from what I've been. told and after your guys' trip down. there and after you watch what happens. with these Dolphins teams it's like. money uh opportunity warm weather all.

the time and just just like when you're. staying in a hotel in a casino okay you. know the casino floor you're you're. let's say 10 floors above it or whatever. it's calling you can hear it actually. through the things. going a million dollar. is down here and you're laying in your. bed you can't sleep it's like I'm going. to go down the casino at the Miami. Dolphins you have the beach all their. bars all their adult ballet SL bars all. their other things just calling at all. times hey just one drink just just come.

do one drink and then bang that's at. like 5 o'c and one thing leads to. another you're on vacation for your. entire life and you're a professional. football player that's right for them to. win they're going to have to get the. right people down there that's going to. be you're going to need old you going to. need married old people that are worried. about hangovers the golf yes you know. retirement community type Tyreek. Hill yeah see just like him he almost. won for 2,000 yards down there good for. him did good for him almost W for oh two.

play CH th you picking another team. never mind no no I'm I am fin still the. day I die bro no chance of them winning. but [ __ ] hey I've done it my whole life. if there's ever a point yeah but now. there's a new piece of information yeah. but yeah but think about if they win a. Super Bowl and I turned I could never. sleep at night I think you're safe why. is two playing chess on board with no. square right what's that did you see. that I think there was little lines on. it yeah but did you see the Tweet though.

I did yeah I did and uh I believe it was. from uh the Trump family posted it that. two was playing oh that was the original. tweet yeah yeah but the quote tweet yeah. I saw a lot of quote twe yeah the quote. tweet I believe and then there was many. others that took got their shots in and. that's the internet welcome football uh. that sounds good but I think there. little lines cuz I was very flabbergast. about what was going on I think there. was like little tiny lines I'm like wow. you got to be really good at's up with. the pieces that's my question oh there. are yeah you definitely see from that is. that a different angle I think you zoom. in there's like little tiny you see like. little lines there yeah you can see the.

dots of like where the corners are it. look like see it's still not a good. chess board it's terrible absolutely not. you got to be really good a chest to be. on board that isn't an actual board. without a doubt that's why two was. playing well two is a chess player. always has been always will be um show. me my my give me my money that's the. season started yeah season started Boy. arrested on the way to the first game of. the season at home like we never had a. shot last year dude you know what next. year's the year go you're right to the.

Dolphins got no money to spend but we're. going to give her all we got kind of. money spend in Miami's awake mhm always. there you go that traffic is crazy. though not supposed to have that many. people down there huh as soon as you. it's one it goes like four different. highways it's like you get there you can. be 3 miles from your spot it's going to. take you an hour for yeah 40 at least it. is so annoying you just walk right. that's what you did uh no we couldn't. like you had to get on the highway to. get around to some spots but yeah once.

you get to your first location you can. walk to the other locations but it it's. legitimately impossible to not take an. Uber at least once a day these flying. cars need to pick it up you think for. sure they need to get going I don't know. if we're ever going to be able to use. those but well I've seen a lot of memes. and videos little flying drones talk. about like the little drone where you. can sit in like one or two people it'll. take you yeah or hang on like your Tom. Cruz yeah I mean that'd be sweet too. yeah you better have some good grip. strength yeah we would obviously you.

could latch in like David. boy they got cars the balloons Choppers. in them when I sent you yeah yeah boom. bang and then I saw one car that just. was car build had drones on like. basically all four sides at the. bottom and they it went up and over some. traffic I think but you never know. what's animated Ai and those people who. can drive cars can definitely Drive. planes I think you would probably have.

to prove some sort of uh ability to be. in the sky yeah I mean we got mid up. there yeah people will do. that I don't know M's ever going to be. in a f car close to the monument do you. want to be in the skies here's here it. is right here actually going over car. that's what we're looking for right. there. well company released his first flying. car look at you can see it it's taken. off there's a human in there that's real. this is our life so which situation is.

this used in I'm in Miami I just got. downtown I'm three miles away they said. it's going to take an hour and I said. you know what me and my Ali Aeronautics. are [ __ ] going up and down right to. whatever place the boys stop by if. you're driving on a highway and the tree. you fell down and you have to go across. that is you ollie yeah you're doing an. ol or a bunny hop basically or if the. roads are snowy okay okay you're going. to have to come down real video is it. spot what are you talking about Bingo. keep dreaming boys what about parallel.

parking no more I'm [ __ ] up and I'm. down pick it up put it down that's what. I'm doing with this look at that smooth. Landing much smoother than some we' seen. yeah I can I can go over one I can move. up. 12et oh look oh lookie lookie there's an. 18wheeler down well that sucks for. everybody but who you look at that so. real be the coolest guy School cops are. on the other side say whoa whoa whoa. we're stopping traffic on the ground. okay I'm in the [ __ ] Sky dude.

altitude 13 feet I'm out of. here that's future we're lucky to be a. part of it hopefully it's a future. that's the future all right let's get to. a break we'll be back tomorrow pretty. big. showday show broke some news Insider. thought that news was coming last week. it's and uh they report did everyone. report it properly well so Chey actually. got the Tweet out about a half minute. before us because we did the video then. the Tweet now gr we talked about it on. the show before shefter got the Tweet. out there perked his ears up so no no we.

did the break on show oh and then before. his tweet goes out our tweet goes out. one minute out with video that had to be. ripped and placed on the thing so. technically our show broke news but on. the Twitter World Chey got us by 30. seconds [ __ ] I saw rap gave us credit. yeah because I think we did break the. news I should have done no video and. then added video maybe next time Gumpy.

what you do with our accounts while. we're live is nothing short remarkable. don't you second guess yourself H yeah. you did the right thing you did the. right thing cuz we got to give proper. context with the release but the ripping. of the video placing of the video. uploading said video then tweeting video. is certainly the time that it took to. potentially get one minuted by shefer. but program broke news first boom. definitely we stand on that that's what. counts so maybe proper credit M maybe.

are we doing journalism also how about. this there was a story that was supposed. to be matter of facted last week while. we were at the combine Bill bich and. UNCC they're doing this season's. offseason Hard Knocks congratulations to. them everybody just [ __ ] yeah. yeah just reported like this is. happening literally just yeah this is. happening they're doing it we're going. to get an inside look at Bill bich. people then started saying after every. NFL team said no they had to go to. college and they go to bill bich the. greatest NFL coach of all time as he's.

trying to build the future like full. reports were happening that this taking. place then we have Michael Lombardi on. our show the same exact day he's the. general manager for the North Carolina. tario football team and this is what he. had to say about it you guys have it. this year is that accurate you guys got. a great relationship with films it would. make sense too with how a college ball. is becoming Pro bow at this exact time I. think there's a lot of conversations. going on right now about that I think. we've had a lot of offers from people. all over to have us come in and look at.

our program and kind of do the behind. the scenes things I don't think. anything's yet been official or signed. to it uh to make it happen Don't Let. saquan Go who would it be would it be. yeah don't don't do that would it be you. would it be you negotiating that or. who's making that decision no that would. be the university and and you got to. make you know when you're dealing with. the university and the brand that we. have at North Carolina which is. incredible you got to make sure that. everything's done right all the t's are. crossed and obviously bill has been. talking to different people they. contacted all of us here and and Bill's.

been sorting it out so so on the program. he basically says like we're definitely. talking to people but this is not. something that is done people still just. continue to say like even after he. talked about that on our show okay I. think we're on TV the internet we posted. it on digital uh people just kept going. like didn't even happen guy didn't even. say NOP they're doing it they're doing. it they're doing it just kept on just. this guy didn't [ __ ] say anything. boom weor Roll by so now it's being. reported in a turn of events okay. Jonathan Jones report in a turn of. events UNC football and Bill bich will.

not be participating in Hard Knocks. offseason after talks break down more at. NFL on CBS we appreciate Jonathan Jones. and in an article they actually use a. quote from Michael Lombardi from last. week whenever they're discussing this so. it's not a turn of events the actuality. was they maybe were talking to him but. it was never something that was decided. and the thing that I love is that that. was easily deciphered from Michael. Lombardi who's very close to the thing. people you think they because it was. from our show you think that's what it.

is hey do you think it's because it was. from our show we're not [ __ ]. listening to this guy what do you think. it is honestly I mean when you hear. lombo say nothing is signed I would. assume that's like okay then we we don't. know anything really well and also I'm. saying we're talking to a lot of people. it's like yeah maybe there's been. conversations with NFL films but there. been a lot of conversations and it's. like everybody's just like yeah shut up. dude guys the general maner the goddamn. wrong guys pretty much in there who you. who's negotiating this well Bill. obviously is fiing off it but the school. was a part of it it's like okay so. you're pretty you know this pretty.

pretty well but it was just a matter of. fact that they were doing it I was. excited yeah I was like pumped to get. into cool Bill recruiting Lambo wasn't I. assume Lambo didn't want any added. distractions especially after what. happened with the Giants last year with. the way he chitch about it now he the. way he's talked about is like hey your. your program's on display like how you. go about doing it your process is on. display so I think he's probably. confident in that but nonetheless. everybody's just talking about that is. that was happening and I got real. excited and then Lambo comes in it's. like easy don't think so and then now.

it's like no it's like damn it so the. offseason Hard Knock is dead yes one and. done which we we we we knew was probably. going to happen yeah but when we said it. we said it was some sort of joke so it's. not a real thing don't force somebody. gave us some good clips great saquin. signed what two deals yeah never forget. super bow off hisy the Giants are not. recommending it to anybody no you know. hey tell me about your experience with. the uh hard KN off Joe Shane looks at.

him did you [ __ ] watch yeah ruin my. life worst case scenario what's the. worst case scenario in your eyes think. of that double it people think my kid. smarter than me now yeah cuz the kid. actually had it right he was sitting. behind me my daughter even closer than I. was but. say goingon go on be player I mean owner. thinks I'm a liar um every Everything. Bad uh took place and it was all. documented and the whole world watched. it so I would say don't do it uh we have. some breaking news from the internet.

happening the NBA Twitter account was. hacked and uh they have gotten it back I. believe the NBA oh no have gotten it. back the NBA has taking a game to the. next level introducing NBA coin our. official digital asset on salana. designed to enhance fan engagement in. future of sports transactions so this is. tweeted I guess like 50 times so some. crypto uh boys got into the NBA Twitter. account and said you know what we're. going to run this NBA coin up it's going. to be a pump and dump from the boys. hoping to catch people and we would. assume that NBA Twitter okay which had a.

much better name before but it's saw me. to be the one that continues to bring. that up I don't think we should ever. changed it it's greatest place on Earth. greatest place on Twitter most. electrifying place on Twitter No Doubt I. assume their quote tweet to that. oh right pretty good oh my God just. crypto boys trying to get into the NBA I. mean they even did an official. announcement too with it like a like a. letterhead and everything they did it. right yeah I mean the hackers are. getting smart you know and AI is able to.
