>> Hello, beautiful people, and welcome to. our humble abode, the draft kings. thunderdome. on this NFL trade deadline. [music] Tuesday, November 10th, 2026. This sports program begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE GREATEST. AND LAST. NIGHT, we had the incredible opportunity. to be boots on the ground for Monday. Night Football as the Buffalo Beals go. into US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis,

Minnesota, part of the Twin Cities. Beautiful place. We had a great time. Spectacular fans and environment. One of. the loudest stadiums we had ever been. And we don't want to say it's the. loudest because that would be putting a. couple other places into the. conversation. We just like to say that. there is a uh rushmore of places, four. of them that we've been able to be a. part of. That place would definitely be. a part of that. College and NFL. included. That was a special evening. Could have been at least. Adrien. Peterson goes into the Ring of Honor. That was a celebration. Brian Flores's. defense continued to be a bit dominant.

early. That could have been a. celebration. Maybe the worst quarterback. performance in the history of football. >> You could use that. >> Yep. >> As a celebration, >> certainly. And we knew Carson Wentz. could be great. I mean, we literally. talked about it on this particular. program. I think more than anybody else, it's Carson Wentz experience. Okay. And. I think there was a lot of people last. night that were telling us on our way. out of the game like, "Hey, the way you. guys talk about Carson Wentz, I didn't. fully understand until tonight." And. it's like, "Well, you didn't get a. chance to see the good Carson Wentz." I. mean, there is another polar figure of.

Carson Wentz that is like spectacular. Like unbelievable where he was throwing. that ball into the dirt. He's actually. completing that pass and that's going. there. instead of throwing it right into. the defender's chest after getting. stepped on, he's actually like hitting. the person that he's supposed to hit. The guy whenever he's uh right out there. for a screen, Justin Jefferson, he's. throwing at hitting him in the hands as. opposed to missing him. Those moments of. Carson Wentz have happened in history. He's in like his 11th year, okay? He's. been in the NFL a long time. You can't. be what you were last night if you're. Carson Wentz and still be in the NFL for.

11 years. Honestly, there has to be some. sort of yip situation that took place. Or maybe all the good Carson Wentz Juju. and good Carson Wentz football maybe. just got sucked out of him. I mean, there's a chance that that thing could. have withered away now that he's an old. man. He was horrendous last night. And. in doing so, we got a chance to see Josh. Allen in the Buffalo Bills, pound the. rock, and do everything we thought the. Vikings were going to do. But instead, the Buffalo Bills Joe Brady come into. that night. And I had the incredible. opportunity to ask Joe Brady a question. I don't think he's done many media.

interviews. I think he's only done his. press conferences since becoming a head. coach. I believe according to source. >> sis. I shouldn't be talking to anybody. on a microphone. I've done nothing. I'm. a first year head coach. I don't want to. be doing interviews from our source. close to the situation. But Joe Brady on. Monday Night Countdown answers one. question. I say, "Hey, what are your. thoughts on Brian Flores? Is this guy. different? What is your immediate. expectation?" He goes, "They have to. play us." And what the US is for the. Buffalo Bills last night, Josh Allen, obviously he's Josh Allen. He's an. alien. He's spectacular. James Cook, you.

hand him the ruck. You hand him the. ruck. 30 different rushing attempts for. James Cook. Over a 100 yards. Game. sealing touchdown at the end of that. thing. And they had a brand new. offensive line in front of him. This. Buffalo Bills defense made Carson Wentz. look like a terrible version of a. football player in the NFL. Maybe XFL. though. >> US XFL. >> He should retire today. >> He's ready to turn the money. Go do go. hunt. >> He's like hunting. every 75 76 games he's got a good one. >> We can't do it anymore. Can't do it.

anymore. >> We can't do the Carson Wentz experience. stuff anymore. >> He hasn't had a good one in last year. It's not fun anymore. >> That should not ever be on Monday Night. Football. Get him off the field. That was. [ __ ] Never again. >> So excited about calling it a game. >> Ruined football. Ridiculous. >> They one of the best defenses of all. time. We watched it with our own eyes. >> Okay. All right. All right. >> We love K. >> I don't know when you guys. We didn't. Just happened. I don't I HONESTLY. >> I CAN'T DO ANYMORE THOUGH. HE'S a good. quarterback sometimes. He's not.

>> Well, how about he's a good. >> one? >> Offensive coordinator. >> Yeah. >> Oh, we're go Oh, did you hear that? >> We could do that, too. >> We would just like to say now that we're. boots on. We are Kevin. That's a talk to. table. I appreciate with the way this. just went. I forgot. >> You know what? We didn't get a whole lot. of sleep last [laughter] night. I didn't. know if it was going to come out this. early, but I've kind of been stewing on. that since the play since the plane last. night. Not just Carson, Kevin O. How. many free passes is he going to get? [laughter] We We don't know the whole. story. At some point, it's going to GO.

OUT. HOW MANY GUYS OUT OF TOWN HAS SOME. elevator operator just maybe raised? Hey, you guys are a part of the problem. Okay, we got a TV in here that has you. guys on here and all we're hearing is. quarterback expert, offensive guru, guy. can make anybody good. WE'RE WONDERING. WHEN as we're operating these elevators. in the boughels of US Bank Stadium in. Minnesota. Is that potentially what has. led to this? >> I don't think so. I don't think this guy. had any idea who we were. I don't think. because I don't think he would have said. what he was saying had he known who we.

were and potentially that we were just. going to repeat everything the next. morning. I'm not going to do that. >> Won't name him. Good name. Did he have a good name? >> Lauren. [laughter]. GOOD GUY. >> GOOD GUY. >> He. >> That's a joke. >> Yeah, that obviously is not his name. [laughter]. He he gave and he because he he. certainly didn't know because what he. said he gave the kiss to death he bas he. said ke Kevin Oonnell is PJ Fleck. [laughter] and had he known who I was he.

would he would have never uttered those. words cuz now I can never go back I can. never go back but also that I mean. listen we're blaming Carson Wentz why. the hell why the hell was he throwing. that many times why the hell did we have. that answer. he gave an answer it was a horseshit one. >> Kevin Oonnell said he was trying to get. Carson Wentz in rhythm by continuing. contin to throw despite the early. struggles, but in retrospect, >> he should have utilized the running game. more. >> Running backs had 11 carries. Mason was. kind of getting going a little bit in. the second half. There was still very.

much a game. Mason was kind of moving. I. think the offensive line was like, "All. right, thank you. We're doing this.". Wide receivers even, we saw Justin. Jefferson, I think, more upset whenever. the passes were what they were than. whenever they were choosing to run the. ball and Justin Jefferson was either off. the field or very, very separated. Kevin. Oonnell, former player, friend of. program. >> Definitely. >> friend of program. Yeah. But what we. watched last night and calling it in. real time, nine-year NFL vet Darius Jay. Butler, also one half of the Hammer, Cowboys, AP Tone, it. >> we were flabbergasted by the decisions.

that were being made in real time by. people that have been in the NFL a long. time. Kevin Oonnell's been a head coach. for a while now. Carson Went's been in. the NFL a long time. So, we don't know. who's checking the what plays, but like. Orlovski was so proud of himself. >> Mhm. Orlovski was so proud. Here's the. play. Orlovski really I mean he might. have texted he might have texted. everybody he knew that he said this on. this simal cast, but as he said it, we're all thinking to ourselves, "Yeah, absolutely." Especially with what we. have going on. Here is a situation that.

arose last night that I think is a. perfect depiction of why everybody in. Minnesota is about fed up with. everything on the offensive side, not. just Carson Wentz playing the worst. football that they've ever seen. >> You got two safeties. This should be a. run. >> It'll be a throw. Carson gets picked on. >> I mean, >> Bernard pick of Carson Wentz, who has. one fumble in two picks thus far on the. evening. >> Okay. All right. So, Buffalo Bills. defense found something. Okay. Buffalo.

Bills obviously found something, but. those Minnesota Vikings fans were like, "Well, who's deciding to have Carson. Wentz?" That's a one. That's 136 right. there. Oh, yeah. Jordan Mason had just. had three or two straight runs. Three. straight runs gaining yards. They were. kind of in control of everything and. then Dan Wowski like here we go. This is. exactly what we're looking for. This is. exactly what we've been trying to do. Buffalo Bills kind of sitting back at. shell. We can go ahead and pound this. rock and just keep doing this. So we. don't even have to put the game into. Carson Wentz's hands. And then a half a. second later, we're putting it right. back into Carson Wentz's hands. And lo. and behold, it's back in the Buffalo.

Bills hands going the other direction. It felt like there was a lot of. disappointing things happening during. that game for the Minnesota Vikings. side. I think we all can agree with. that. It was hilarious that that's all. you guys decided to start. We are on 3. hours of sleep across the board. Lucky. and thankful that we're on 3 hours of. sleep, but we were actually in there. experiencing that with that phenomenal. fan base that turned that place upside. down. There was a lot of that when. Carson Wentz completed one pass when. they chose to kick a field goal and they. finally got in. They they only made it. in the red zone one time and it was when.

Brosmer got in at the end of the game. and the game was ending after a fourth. and nine tackle. They got into the red. zone. That was the first time they got. in there. Those fans understood. everything was happening right in front. of their faces. They've been living this. entire season. They've been winning. games without any offensive production. They kick a field goal, place goes. crazy. Carson Wentz completes an easy. pass. Place goes crazy. And then there. was just the groans. Come on, this can't. be what we are. And I'll tell you, when. Bros comes out there, he starts spinning. a little bit. The. >> sarcastic oversell by the Vikings fans.

of the Minnesota lad having some. completions. Us too. I mean, we were. calling it as if he was going down to. win a Super Bowl there. How would you. not in that moment? We were all kind of. wondering that. But man, the Vikings. fans, they're not saying this is just. Carson. Yeah, Carson's the latest one. It's, believe me, we've been watching. Exactly. >> We've been watching this now for a. while. And it's like, is it because who. Kevin Okconor was had because you give. him Sam Darnold, they were very good. >> Then somebody in that building, we. assume it's not Kevin Okonnell cuz he's. still there and Qui is gone, decided to. move on from Sam Darnold. And it's like,

okay, now what? They haven't had success. since then. and it's been bad and the. Vikings fans are saying this ain't just. the quarterback. This is the person. running it. Let's go to the other side. Buffalo Bills prove anything to you last. night? I loved watching that Buffalo. Bills team and Joe Brady figure that out. cuz it was clear they had no clue what. they were going to do against that. Vikings defense. And it was clear that. Joe Brady and Josh Allen every single. game throughout the beginning of it are. figuring it out. Everybody's doing that. Obviously, offense coordinators are.

trying to figure it out, but I think Joe. Brady, Josh Allen, and that offense are. actually like in the on the sideline. like I think if we do this, we can do. this. And then once they find what they. need to do, they'll just they don't get. bored. They will just continue to do it. James Cook, 30 rushes, staying that. disciplined to the run against that. defense with the score being what it. was. Josh Allen on another MVP- like. pace for what he's been able to do. You. could see them maybe getting bored like. Carson Wentz and go ahead and spinning. it instead. Pound pound. do what they. got to do. That impressed me, especially. on prime time with what some of these.

guys want to do. What did you see from. the Bills last night that you were. pumped about? >> Absolutely. We talked about that. environment. Very, very hostile. environment. It's tough to go in the. NFL. Tough to go on a road and win a. game. We know the favorites did their. thing this week, but to show they went. into the game with a game plan for. whatever reason. They were trying to get. to the edge on this Vikings defense. That was not working. You saw that after. the fourth quarter, after the first. quarter, then they adjusted. They. started running downhill. They start. getting quick passes out to the tight. ends, quick passes out to the edge. Then, like you said, just fed the ball. uh to James Cook. I believe it was one.

uh one one carry short of his careerh. high, which was 32, and just pounded the. ball down the rock. And all the great. teams, the great quarterbacks, the. dynasties of the years, and we Josh. Allen has had a ton of success in this. league, a ton of success in the. playoffs, haven't won a title yet. These. teams of the past, they find different. ways to win ball games. There was so. many games in the playoffs with Tom. Brady would just hand the ball off 35. times. Patrick Mahomes sometimes lean on. the run games, lean on the defense. So. to show Joe Brady, young head coach, Josh Allen, and like you said, being. patient because when you have that type.

of talent at quarterback like Josh. Allen, you can lose some patience, try. to take some shots. And I know they held. the ball for 42 minutes, which is like. third most in the last 50 years. For. that Vikings defense to only give up 23. points with how how like they had no. help. Vikings 0 for8 on offense. We saw. the historically bad performance from. Carson Wentz at the quarterback. position. I come away super super. impressed with the Vikings defense and. then also very impressed with the. Buffalo Bills and just how they adjusted. how they show that they can adjust to. win any type of ball game. >> How about the Bills defense? Huh?

>> I mean, you know what? I can't even give. them credit out. Yeah, I can't I can't. give them credit out. >> They're great players. I love Leonard. I. think they are getting better and. sometimes you do do need those get right. games where everybody's feeling. themselves. You feel very confident. But. that that that quarterback performance, that was that was the worst that was the. worst [ __ ] we ever seen. Usually we look. at quarterback, we look at coaches and. look, coaches need good players, especially in National Football League. You need good players to be a good. coach. >> That was the the final straw for a lot.

of people say, you know what, KC's. probably not a good coach. Maybe he. isn't. We've seen Dos, he's all these. different quarterbacks come through the. system. It's like, okay, we've seen a. little bit of success, but now you see. Carson W. Like, all right, how does he. make it to game day? Like, what is he. doing in practice? And we're watching. it. This is the best thing about being. on calling these games. We can see see. all the in between the TV timeouts. Tone. was talking about I was talking about. you watch Carson on the sideline. throwing the ball. We always talk about. watching quarterbacks just play catch. This dude never just threw like a It was. all.

[laughter]. >> Yep. Exactly. >> Am I [ __ ]. >> No. every single time and he cuz we're. up there uh you're doing uh Monday night. countdown or whatever. Uh Budsy and Dan. are on the field and then we can see. everything up from the booth and every. time a different Vikings position group. would run out they blow the horn. So. they let the fans know like hey this. position group's running out of the. field cheer for him whatever. So I hear. the horn I look. Carson runs out. The. first thing he do someone toss him a. ball. This guy boots spins and then.

throws off of one arm this way. That was. his first throw for warm-ups. That's a. Carson Wentz experience. Seeing if a quarterback can play catch, I think should be a required part of the. combine. Like, let's just have these. guys play catch. Okay? Because I've seen. some quarterbacks, played with some. quarterbacks. I think we've watched some. quarterbacks. >> can't play catch. That that feels like a. bad thing. >> 70% of Americans can play catch. >> Uh, that's a little high. That's a. little high. >> 70% of athletic Americans. Okay, there.

we go. athletic 70% of athletic. Americans can play catch. >> Hey Jonno, Big Jonno was a hockey. player. He can toss and catch that thing. like 35 40 yards. Huge head to hockey. player play a little heavy-handed. Yeah, you got to do that. He said I also. played baseball. You know, he went to a. small school. He's an incredible. athlete. I'd say 70% of athletic. Americans can play catch. Don't you Is. that too much? >> Athletic probably of athletics. >> Some of these quarterbacks can't play. catch. And and I I it is. I lost my mind the first time I saw I.

was teammates with a guy who's being a. professional quarterback. Okay, I'm. punter bought him a totem pole. athleticism. Uh maybe the lowest rated. professional athlete in all of. professional sports, my particular. position. I'm watching this quarterback. we just signed. Had an incredible. college career. Won't say names. Gets. in. Can't play catch. Just throwing to. an equipment manager 10t away. This. thing's in the dirt in his knees at his. head. Boom. So the equipment manager. who's played catch with everybody in the. history of ball because they work the. combine.

>> throws the ball to the other equipment. manager who catches it for the guy. Guy. does it overhead. Okay, we turn around. Bang. We get it. This is his first two. throws. I didn't know that was possible. But now that we go to a lot of these. games, a lot of these [ __ ]. can't play catch. >> Remember how uh impressed we were with. Fernando playing catch? Did perfect. every single. >> This guy could play catch. This guy can. He's a quarterback. >> We knew it. We saw it first. >> How is this the point that we're at now? On that note, I think Carson Wentz could. have played catch at some point in his. career. Last night was the worst of all.

>> No, he was doing it. He was just a. goofball when he was playing catch. >> Yeah, but I'm saying like this last. night was the worst of all the Carson. Wentz worse. >> Oh, boy. >> Like it all the decision making. >> It should be his last his last chance. >> No one else should ever have to watch. that [ __ ] again. Ever. >> All right. Maybe. I mean, we'll find out. today. Trade deadline 40. Can you imagine if you were a Vikings. fan and you paid 500 bucks a ticket to. go sit down there and that is what you. can. >> I'd never watch an NFL game again.

>> Adrien Peterson's going in the Ring of. Honor. Randy Moss is there. >> Andre uh. >> John [snorts] Randle. John. >> Randle. No, there's others. There was. others. There was others. I ran into. >> Oh, Andre Reed. >> Boom. Thank you. Yep. Hall of Fame Bills. received. >> Bills legend. >> Yep. >> Not going to say it. I was told some. stuff from a group of legends that could. be pretty notable news from that. Not. just him, but there was like a group of. them. And I want to let them know this. is very abnormal. You should not have.

told me that. And I told you that. immediately upon you telling me that you. should not tell me cuz I have this. thing. I'mma hold it. There's cool news. coming from a lot of the legends, I. think, out of out of the NFL world. >> Whispers. >> But all those dudes are back in the. building. That's just like whenever. there's a homecoming game in college or. in, you know, when the Colts do a ring. of honor, you get all the OGs. Gronk, you guys losing with all the boys back. in the building. >> That's terrible. I I think that's bad. for morale. I think it's bad for fans. I. think it's bad for building. Patriots. are going to bounce back. They're a good. football team. But doing that last. night, these Vikings fans paid more.

because it's Monday Night Football. Paid. more because Adrien Peterson's going to. the Ring of Honor. Paid more to see all. the legends coming back and to show up. for their team. And that was that was. horrendous. >> And they did their part. >> Yes. It was. >> that is a legitimate home field. advantage. >> So loud. So cool. All the [ __ ] was so. cool. >> Yeah. I I mean I mean it was college. >> There was snow. Did you guys get the. snow on the field? >> No. >> So it comes I think they release it from. the roof or whatever. So. >> I love that part. It got all in my water.

and I actually feel a little sick this. morning. So I'm thinking about maybe. filing a lawsuit against [laughter] the. Minnesota. >> Anytime they do any bike. It was cool. >> All right. Uh, last night was special. Last night, the Buffalo Bills run game. ended up being the entire story. Lions. did the same thing against the Vikings. I wonder if this is what everybody's. going to try. The Vikings are going to. have to put this fire out, I think, on. the defensive side. But will they run. into an offensive line that's been as. dominant as the Buffalo Bills offensive. line and an offensive coordinator and. head coach that'll call a run every.

single time if that's how we're going to. get a dub? Ladies and gentlemen, joining. us now, right tackle, 6 foot8, >> 341 pounds out of Northern Iowa, ladies. and gentlemen, eightman high school. football player. >> That's right. >> I don't even know what that means. >> D and tight end, >> athlete, stud, ladies and gentlemen. Right tackle the Bill Spencer Braz. [applause]. >> Hey, Staly, we're doing some Iowa stuff. I like that. I I I really.

>> Absolutely. Stally every day, boys. >> Hey, congratulations. huge win last. night. We were just talking about. everything that we noticed and. experienced. Minnesota's stadium was. awesome. I I I wonder if you were you. guys talking about that at all? The. experience that felt like college a. little bit. That felt like a very real. atmosphere last night. Did you guys. witness that and experience that at all? >> That place was an absolute beauty. Uh. just from um just how the stadium is. laid out to Monday Night Football. Skull. Chant was awesome. Uh the other Ring of. Honor for Adrien Peterson, awesome. And. uh crowd was fired up. And I love. playing in hostile environments and that.

was easily a top three spot for me. A. good way to go into a hostile. environment and get a win is to just. pound the pound the rock, dude. Just. pound the rock. And with Josh Allen. running as much as he runs and obviously. James Cook being one of the top backs. and you guys being one of the top lines. and the team that's projected to go to. the Super Bowl, you're going to have to. be able to run the ball. Obviously, you're going to have to be able to run. the ball. That's part of the business. Did you guys know last night was going. to be a pound the rock night? And how's. it feel as you're in the middle of that. thing and it starts to kind of bust for. James Cook in the third quarter, then. into the fourth quarter? How are you.

guys feeling going in and then as it's. happening? >> Yeah, you pride yourself and run the. ball. Uh you have to every single week. in this league. It affects every other. facet of the game. So, um you know, we. were banging our head on the wall there. for the first quarter to quarter and a. half there. So, um you know, it was. bloody runs for a while. Jimmy's hell of. a running back in between the tackles, just getting north, getting his pads. down and um you know, early in the game. we were run the ball for one two yards. You're sitting there at second and 10, second and long, and they just walk. everybody up. So, that was causing. problems. And as the game went on, you. know, those two, three yard runs turn to.

four, five, six. And then late in the. fourth, it turns into 8 n and that's. when everything opens up and uh can. always rely on Jimmy. >> Yeah, James Cook, absolute beast. Literally run the [ __ ] out of the ball. last night and that's one of those. things. Yeah, absolutely. Like a beast. Uh let's talk about your offensive line. though cuz you guys were tasked with a. lot especially going against this. Minnesota Vikings defense. Uh we have. Greyel who was on right tackle duty last. week. He goes over to left tackle. Austin Corbett is now playing left. guard. You were back and it's a pound to.

rock night. Can you tell me about the. boys up front and how that O line room. feels today after a huge win on Monday. night? >> Couldn't be prouder of the boys. I'm. glad to see Corbs get in there and then. and do what he does. But um I just want. to talk about Greyel. Guy that's been. here doing the right things and uh you. know gets his opportunity in the LA game. and then gets another opportunity uh. against the Ravens and then again here. tonight. and he's just uh you know the. more snaps he gets, the confidence in. him grows and it's good to see him be. able to flip-flop back and forth. Something I could not do. I would be. [ __ ] my pants if I had to play left.

tackle. So him going back and forth and. not even blinking an eye Monday Night. Football executing couldn't be happier. for the guy. >> Yeah, he played right tackle to his. point uh in for Spencer a week ago and. then last night for Deion Dawkins who. one of the best players in all of. football, not just offensive lineman. He's out. Deion Dawkins, we missed him. I think the energy missed him. I assume. you guys missed him as well. But Greybel. then goes right over to left tackle. And. I didn't know I didn't know much of. Greyel. That's on me. I should know more. about offensive lineman. While you guys. are running that ball in the third. quarter, though, Greyel's doing uh I.

mean, Greyel is doing a There's a little. I don't know if you guys see it on film. It's almost like Greyel's doing this as. he's on the field. Yeah. I mean, he was. >> He was completely You guys were Felt. like you guys were really vibing out. there. 42 minutes. How long was. >> we were vibing? 42 minutes. I didn't see. that until this morning. I was like, I. felt like I was out there a while, but. yeah, threequarters of the game, that's. a that's a hell of a stat. So, appreciate you, boys. >> Yeah, you know what you're doing. whenever you're out there. That's. running the ball. That's metriculating. Actually metriculating the ball down the. field. You didn't know the stats about. that, but you did know you guys had a.

huge game. What was the flight like. back? I I forget about how late those. are, no matter how short the flight is. Monday night is a little bit of a late. night. How were the lads last night. coming back from Minnesota? >> Lads had a blast. Um, Monday night. football, hostile environment, knockdown. dragout fight. Uh you guys are just. smiling and enjoying each other and and. just really the enjoyment of of winning. a game like that is hard to match. I'm. sure you've experienced that plenty as. well, Pat. But um you know, coming back. hard to come down from that high, all. the adrenaline, the dopamine,

everything's running uh to the max. So, you know, I found myself sitting on a. porch last night, listening to Allison. Shane, having a little American spirit. So, I mean, it's hard to come down from. it. You just want to keep chasing that. dopamine. >> It's uh but it's it's the best it's the. best job in the world. It's the most. rewarding feeling in the world. And uh. you know, with the locker room we have. here, it's it's the best time ever. >> All right, we're going to dive into the. culture in the locker room in a bit, but. I just like to think of your neighbors. going to work early, seeing a 6'8. monster. Okay. Hey, look at the baboon. over here smoking a smoking an American.

spirit on the front porch after winning. Monday Night Football. You're a. throwback. We love to hear that about. the Buffalo Bills offensive lineman, NFL. offensive lineman as a whole. Can you. tell me about the culture of your team? Because Joe Brady hired from within. young young lad. First time being a head. coach in the NFL. Florida boy though. always has a great fade. Had a chance to. chat with him Monday Night Countdown. last night and I asked him about Flores. You know, is he different? He said he's. got they got to play us too. I mean, can. you tell me about his leadership style. versus McDermott and what it's done to. the building and uh how do you guys feel.

about your culture right now? >> Yeah, he just brought a whole new energy. and juice and uh you know, same same. players but different philosophy and I. think the guys really just bought in. Um, you know, he's he's a put the ball. down guy. Everyone wants to put all. these facets into the game of just. running analytics or whatever. Let's. just let's just make it as simple as. possible. Put the ball down, execute, win first down, go one and0, win the. next play. All just the buzzwords and. simplifies the [ __ ] out of it. And, uh, we just we just run with it. So, um, it's great. Everyone's buying in. The. team's vibing. Always has, always will.

be. But he's got a lot of lot of good. guys in the locker room that helps out a. lot. >> Yeah. Joe Brady super talkative. Loves. all the gimmicks. Uh, have you seen his. ex account? No, no, >> I'm not. >> Allegedly, this is him. Just one and0. tweets. That's it. >> One and0. One and0. One and0. One and0. The only thing this guy cares about. One. and0. Last night, I put an ask in to. Boyco. Shout out to Boyco. >> Shout out. >> His hair looks. >> His hair looks phenomenal right now. >> Always. >> I'm thinking that's got to be fake.

>> Boyco look real turkey. Little turkey. trip. >> It looks real. So, it would have to be a. very good turkey trip, I think, if it. was. But it's way too Don't you think. he's got a real strong one of these? >> It's pampered. It's pampered. But it. looks phenomenal every day. >> Legit. And then he has a good stance. like this, too. You know, Boyco's good. at what he does. And the hair looks. phenomenal. But I reach out to him for. Monday Night Countdown like, "Hey, we. need to talk to Joe Brady or Josh." I. mean, that's what we need. Like, well, Josh is already doing something uh with.

Miss Laura Rutled, so Joe Brady isn't. doing interviews, so you need to pick. somebody else. And I was like, "I want. to talk to Joe Brady. Can we not talk to. Joe Brady?" He's like, "Joe Brady. doesn't think he's good enough to do. interviews. He hasn't done [ __ ] is his. words." I'm like, "Wow, I love that." I. mean, I absolutely love that out of Joe. Brady. Feels like the perfect guy to. lead your particular team on this. particular year. There's another guy. who's an alien, uh, who's obviously on. track to maybe win another MVP. Debut. has a question for you, Spencer. >> Yeah, talking about the betting MVP. favorite right now, your quarterback,

Josh Allen. Kind of an extension of your. coach on the field. What was what was. his leadership like on the field? Cuz. you talked about it. hostile. environment. Obviously, it's a tough. Vikings team. He made the phenomenal. play to liu. Had to pick early but. bounced back from that. Uh just tell me. a little bit about Josh's leadership in. the midst of a game like that. >> We all know who Josh is. We're well. aware of his capabilities and what he. can do for our team. And um one thing. you guys or anybody in general doesn't. get to see is just he breathes. confidence into a team in the huddle of. hostile environment. Just how he rattles.

a play call off. His play style. obviously making plays like that. But um. breathing confidence in your team and a. guy that you want to play for that I. mean it just takes over a team and. everyone feeds off of that and uh you. know when you're in those hostile. environments all you got to do is rely. on each other. You know you're in it. together. So having him at the helm uh. lead us north is a is a big thing for. us. >> Really tight team, huh? >> Absolutely. How do you feel about the. defense? Feels like they had a big. night. Everybody's talking about Carson. Wentz being ass, which is hard not to. I. mean, it was hard not to. Those Vikings. fans were.

>> I don't think we would have talked about. it as much today uh on like 3, four. hours of sleep here. If on our way out, we didn't hear it from literally every. Vikings fan that we encountered who knew. who we were. But your defense had to put. on a hell of a show last night at the. beginning of the season. a lot of. questions about Jim Leonard and this. defense if they're going to be able to. keep up with you guys on the offensive. side. Can you tell me about this. defense, what it's like in practice and. how you feel about what they did last. night? >> Uh, practice-wise, training camp is. easily the hardest part of my year. Greg.

right there making plays. Deion Walker, absolute manal on the inside and then. you have the linebackers just fly. around. So, um, yeah, everybody want to. talk [ __ ] about them. I think they've. played absolutely lights out the last. two weeks. They're just getting better. and better every single week, which is. what you want out of a team. You don't. want them to peak week four. You want. the boys to peak in November, December, rolling in January, everything figured. out. So, um, new scheme with with Jim. coming in here and I think the guys. really buying in after they got it down. and, uh, everyone's just playing as one. right now on the defense and it's it's. fun as hell to watch. >> Had Carson seeing Ghost, you know, I.

think it's like the second worst. performance in the last 10 years behind. Sam Darnold whenever he was seeing Ghost. on Monday Night Football. Now, the Bills. defense not getting any credit today. The only conversation is Vikings need to. trade everything they have to get a new. quarterback. It's like well what about. the Bills defense and what they were. able to do. You guys top of the mountain. always buyers. Tone has a question for. you. >> Yeah, Spenc I do. It's I feel like the I. don't know 10th year in a row it feels. like wherever since or since Josh has. been quarterback that you guys are one. of the favorites to win the Super Bowl. Uh, and not like not that you guys care. that you're favorites to win the Super.

Bowl, but have you guys is there talk in. the locker room ever cuz during the long. season about the finishing of the. season, the finishing of the season. because that's kind of been the hurdle. so far for your team. Is that talked. about or it's just like like coaches. tweeting out one and0 every week? >> That's just coach tweeting out one and0. I don't think you get caught up in. worrying about playoffs or how we're. going to do. I think you just want to. win your division is a big thing. If you. get the one seed, that's even better. You know, rest the legs there at the. back half the year and then roll in the. playoffs. But um everyone's just. fighting for playoff spots right now and.

um we're just going to keep trying to go. 1 and0 every week and once the playoffs. start we'll uh we'll put the ball down. then. >> How tall are you? >> 6'8. >> Are you tallest in league at tackle? >> I don't know. That's a good question. Um. >> trying to think who else is up there. Oh. the. >> my there from the Eagles and then kid. from Miami. >> Yeah, Markeel Brown rookie. rookie from. Miami. He's I think he's taller than me. He looks big as [ __ ] on film. He looks.

way bigger than me. >> Okay. So, let's talk about the size. It. 6'8 feels like would be maybe too big. I. I I don't know cuz guys can get low as. much as they can. Like, can you tell me. a little bit about your size being a. gift? I would assume whenever we're. running the ball as well, putting that. big body with how athletic you are on. somebody. And then maybe with the new. style of pass rusher, is it how do you. train at six? Like what is your big. getting down is the hardest thing I. would assume for you, but that's where. guys go, right? Yeah, the hand in the ground's a little. bit difficult for me. And actually. coming out of the draft, my agent, Chase.

Gallahan, when I was doing uh Reese's. Senior Bowl stuff, he said, "Get shorter. when you do your measurements." So I. went up there and everyone's usually. trying to stretch their neck out. I. actually like shortened mine down to be. shorter because he's like, "There's no. 69 tackles that play in the NFL." I'm. like, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'm. paying for your advice." So I'm And uh. yeah, it's uh there's pros and cons to. it, but past pro is easily a big pro. with long arms. um getting out of your. stands, keeping people away from you. It's great though. Can't find pants. though. That's a pain in the ass. >> Yeah. I assume you're going to have to.

just continue to get those tailored. >> It's expensive. It's expensive. >> Yeah, but you look good out there. I'm. going be honest. You're you're a. strapping 6'8 athletic large lad. Ty has. a question for you. >> Yeah. Spencer, speaking of being that. tall. Uh how often or have you went up. to Josh and Joe and maybe been like, "Hey, I don't know if you guys know I. was first team all state tight end, you. know, in high school." Uh maybe when we. get down to the goal line, you split me. out wide, Josh. Maybe throw me a fade. ball or two. I saw they they sent you in.

motion a couple times last night, like. you know, a little eye candy. Uh is. there is there any, you know, emphasis. on your part of like, hey, kind of just. give me an opportunity when we get down. here. I I'll go out there and make a. play for you. >> Uh emphasis, no. I've not I've not. pressed the envelope on that. Um I would. love to do that, though. I would. celebrate so hard uh if I scored a. touchdown. But there was a little. wrinkle last year with a with a. possibility, but it's kind of thrown. out. But maybe we'll uh we'll revisit. that thanks to you boys. LET'S DO THAT.

>> A SORT of get a little shifty. Get a. little shifty in the end zone. >> Are we Oh, I don't know if I can be a. right tackle. I'm I'm mostly just a left. tackle. I'm realizing cuz I got a good, you know, I can. >> It's not that easy to switch. You see? >> No, it's not. >> I don't know if I got one over here. I. mean, Kirk Herbstre's going to be. excited to hear that I don't have a. right tackle set, you know, cuz he he. thinks I should have been a left tackle, which I might have been with my I don't. >> I mean, look at this [ __ ] I I don't. even know where I got to be a left. tackle only, you know? That that's what. I'm learning in real time here. Uh,

but you're going to do one of these. >> Boom. Bang. >> Yeah. >> Boom. >> Absolutely. Over the shoulder. Just. >> drop it in there. >> Oh, you're not even going to turn and. jump cuz you're 6'8 taller than. everybody. You're actually just going to. do standard in a bucket. Make Josh Allen. make the throw. >> Just like saucy. Yeah. Just like finesse. it and then we just pound the closest. beer closest to us and get fined. $5,000. Thank you, Bud Light. >> Have a plan. >> Have a plan. >> Have a plan. Yeah, definitely have a. plan in there. They have set precedent.

on what they will do to that. Even a. fake beers, you know. So, I I couldn't. even imagine what real beer could. potentially do. But how many times you. get in the end zone? Act like you've. been there before. I haven't. So, >> that's right. So, how am I supposed to. act like I've never been here before? I'm going to need two of these tall boys. because I'm a tall boy. Well, let me go. ahead and get after it. I can't wait to. see it. Joe Brady, >> let's go. Think about Joe, get it going. Uh, last question here because we don't. get a chance to chat with any of the big. boys that are still playing currently. with the change of ball and change of. everything that's happening in front of. our eyes. Feels like your life is a.

massive piece of it. Go ahead, Con man. Yeah, Spencer, congrats on the win last. night and right now kind of halfway. through the year already and it feels as. though that year is going to get a. little longer with 18 games being. discussed and that seems inevitable. And. then also the other part of it, you. know, doing an international game, every. single team getting one. I'm sure you're. looking forward to a 12-h hour flight at. 69, but what are kind of your thoughts. when it comes to the season expanding. and do you think that'll inevitably be. good for the league? >> [snorts].

>> Yeah, there's a lot of mixed reviews on. that, mixed thoughts. Um, from a health. and safety standpoint, is it beneficial? Um, everybody loves more football. Who. isn't going to watch it? Um, but we just. got to make sure that we're doing it the. right way. I feel like, um, you know, flying overseas, that's taxing for the. body. I mean, I just flew home from. Minnesota. It's going to take me 3 days. to feel better about it. So, uh, from a. player health and safety standpoint, from, uh, you know, PA, CBA coming up, we got to make sure that we're just. honing in on those details. I mean, I. know the league cares about us. They. care about us so much they'll find us.

for hitting each other too hard. So, um, they care. I'm sure they're on top of. it. Um, but yeah, we'll see what. happens. Hopefully, >> I forgot that they care about you that. much. I've never really realized that. they care about you so much. They don't. want you guys hitting each other too. hard. >> That's right. That is right. I I'm just. curious where that money goes. >> Uh, you know, it's good. >> Anybody know? >> They say, >> who's walking in there? >> No, it goes to something good. >> Great cause. >> Remember, it was supposed to go to. retired players or something. cuz I. remember at one point we have pressed.

this issue a little bit cuz I've been. fined a couple times, you know, offfield. stuff. Sure. You know, that that that. stuff, you know, kind of happens or. tweets potentially in this entire thing. >> But yeah, I think it goes to retired. players. >> Actually did get fined for hitting. somebody too hard in that building, too. A Minnesota building. But yeah, it's. supposed to go to charities. Some type. of charities. >> I think it's some sort of something. good. You. >> We can look it up. >> You want grass fields? Let's go plant. some seeds in the ground with that. money. >> That's smart. [snorts] That's Northern. Iowa. >> That that's caring about kept caring. about some people, caring about the.

players right there. >> and the future of the league and also. more grass, better earth. I mean, >> so you tell me. It feels like that maybe. should be where the cash goes to. And. why don't you you need to get fined more. maybe to help everything. Maybe that's. what you need. >> I'll do my part. I'll do my part for the. greater good. >> Okay, ladies and gentlemen, there it is. Buffalo Bills right tackle in his sixth. year out of northern Iowa from a. beautiful town in Iowa called. >> Lennox, Iowa, baby. >> Where's that at? Ty. >> Uh, what is that? That's like southwest. >> Two up and two over.

>> Yep. >> Two up and two over from Waterlue or. >> No, I'm I'm northeast. >> Bottom left corner. >> But you and I is right next to Waterlue. >> Goats. March dogs. >> How are we? We good. Are we stink? What? What are we in Northern Iowa? We're. good. >> We're battling. >> How'd you get there? Fight an eightman. Is that literally how you end up in. North? >> Dude, I was a I was a fetus when I was. coming out of high school. I was as tall. as I am now, but I was 215 pounds. I'd. lie on my highlight. I'm too 235. No. shot, dude. >> Tiny little guy. Quite a gross bird in.

college. >> Maybe some uh maybe some liquid meals, you know, in college in Northern Iowa. I. assume we do that a little bit. Well, congratulations on everything. Huge win. last night. Get healthy. We'll see you. next time, brother. >> Absolutely. Appreciate it, boys. Godspeed. >> Godspeed, ladies and gentlemen. Miss. Spencer brand. >> I've never heard it worded like that. >> What's that? >> They care about us so much they find us. for hitting each other too hard. >> Mhm. >> That's a funny thing that the the. smartass to drop that into the convo. Oh, you guys care so much about us. We. can't hit each other too hard. That's.

very kind of you. Thursday nights, uh, Wednesdays, Saturday, Sunday, Australia, Germany, Brazil, Spain, England, France, >> anywhere else, >> Canada, Mexico, Mexico. >> Yeah, >> China. >> Yeah. >> What's that? >> That's not real. >> Going to China. >> Shanghai, right? >> Yeah, >> that is right. >> Who said they're going to China? >> They've been talking about it. >> They got a while. >> They said it's all but a done deal. >> Islamabad. Tokyo. >> Keep our eyes. >> They're going to Islamabad. I haven't.

seen any of those. >> Yeah, Fallujah. >> I thought I thought it was Kuwait. >> No, that too. >> Is this a USO tour you guys are What are. you guys talking about? We I would like. us to go on a US tour. >> I don't see these and not. >> No, I you you're confusing USO with NFL. >> The NFL saw the price of oil and said, "Let's get to some oil countries. Let's. get. >> I don't think that's how that works. I I. think it's the. Tokyo is on on deck. That is Japan. >> Look up Shanghai. We're going. They're. doing the outreach event in Tianaan.

Square, I think. Yeah. >> I mean, he's got a lot of details. >> Be cool. >> That's just He's dropping everything he. knows about China right now. Is the. Great Wall going about to play? They're. going to call the defense that does best. there. The Great Wall probably. Yeah. >> Be a couple good great wall graphics. >> Uh the NFL does not have any regular. season games scheduled in Shanghai, China. While the NFL maintains an. international office in Shanghai as part. of. >> it. Exactly. >> Was it outside the Kremlin or was it. >> I don't think they're going to Russia. the the amateur and semi-pro leagues. over there. Shanghai Warriors and. Shanghai Nighthawks.

>> Yeah. >> Okay. >> Maybe that's where Carson could play. quarterback. >> All right. >> Not a bad idea. >> I don't know if they what type of ducks. they got in China. He's only flying to a. place where they're dying. >> I mean, >> ducks delicacy, actually. >> Good duck. >> Well, he is a duck, but we're not. getting into that. >> He'd look great. Shout out to the growth. of the game. But I do like that. offensive lineman and defensive linemen. that have to fist fight each other every. single player going. Yeah. Yeah. This is.

awesome, man. Flew from Minnesota. He. said it's going to take me three days to. recover from that at 6'9 with the amount. of pounding we did last night against an. incredible defense that hunts every. every single play. It's like the big. guys are the ones that have to bet uh. kind of pay the price for all this type. of stuff. It was an eye-opening. experience in the training room after a. Sunday game later in the season where by. Wednesday or Thursday is like the first. time a guy is like walking around. training room. Last two days in a. building that I've seen them either.

Monday, Wednesday if Tuesday's off or. Tuesday, Wednesday if they're doing a. Monday thing, he's literally just. sitting on table in corner of training. room with [ __ ] attached to his entire. body and it's like well is he going to. meetings today? Uh, probably not gonna. go to me in here. Probably gonna go. through his playbook, do his whole. thing. Is he going out to walk through? No. No chance of going out to walk. through. What's he doing? He's just. trying to like. >> he's be able to stand up. >> We're trying to get back and then Oh. yeah, we went to a Super Bowl that year. You're lucky to do that. We're not. complaining about it. But the season was. even longer. And it's like when they. added the Thursday game to everybody's.

life, I think there was a lot of. offensive linemen. They were like, that's my first day really back being. like an adult, like a human, being able. to move. Now you got another game. The. NFL says they think about all that. Uh. yeah, sure. After the money, you know, once they see the money, but I mean we. most of our career was 16 16 that was, you know, a couple years it'll be 18. So. like you said, all these especially like. the veteran teams like we saw Randy Moss. last night that that was that was my. first as a rookie that was one of my. first teammates. And just seeing those. guys, Randy Moss, Vince Wolfford, Richard Seymour, you know, Brady, Kevin.

Faulk, seeing those guys get to like. Sundays, you know, so like a lot of it. is mental, especially in the Bellich. program. like we were practicing and our. practices were intense. A lot of these. practices now is more so, hey, get the. guys to the game. It's a lot more. walkthroughs, a lot less padded. practices. So, that is kind of the. player safety element of it. But, I. mean, it's still a it's still a very I. mean, we're out there boots on the. ground. It is a very very violent game. and it always will be. >> Yeah, they're still hitting each other. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they they are very much. still hitting each other very hard. I. mean, it was a very explosive game last.

night and that Ner's defense, we watched. them. >> Oh my god. They were. >> I mean it was a car crash every. collision everybody on the field not. just where the tackle was happening. where a block was happening over here us. getting to watch it and feel it's a nice. reminder it's a nice reminder. >> that James Cook touchdown that POV we. had just we knew exactly what was coming. >> pond. >> boom and then Carson Wentz had a chance. well I'm sorry Max Brosmer had a chance. after that. >> almost did it five of six for 51 yards.

>> they gave him eight more minutes who. knows what. >> seriously you were calling for it. >> I. He wouldn't the only I heard Joe Buck. was calling for it in main broadcast too. and Tro Aman said. >> I mean what are we doing I guess the. entire time whenever Max Brosmer was the. name getting called for with this. Minnesota Vikings defense. I I from my. understanding from reading the trans. like a lot of the tweets from Troy Aman. last night. Troy Aman is very bummed out. that they're wasting this defense on. Minnesota which I think a lot of people. are including Vikings fans. >> Yeah. >> It's like man this defense.

>> is remarkable. And no disrespect to like. Daniel Jones or anything like that, but. when your like your season basically. rests on, hey, we got to go trade for. Daniel Jones. I know he's thrown four. touchdowns and 11 picks this year, but. he looks like Jesus Christ compared to. Carson Wentz. So like when that's the. situation you're in, not great. Like. they legitimately might have to trade a. first round pick for Kurt Cousins. They. might have to. They might not have a. choice. >> because this defense can go win them a.

Super Bowl. >> easily. >> Yeah. I I mean, and special teams good, too. Yeah. >> Punter murders the ball. I I mean, Thorson's their punter. I was watching. him in warm-ups. He thumps that thing. Will Riker never misses. Defense. everywhere. Offense. Addison's wide ass. open a couple times. >> Oh, yeah. >> Justin Jefferson is Justin Jefferson. >> He can't be happy. DJ Hawinson, you. forget he's 6 foot six, incredibly. athletic. >> Odell fired up the crowd. >> Odell Beckham Jr. had number nine on. last night. He was active. He didn't get. into the game much. Didn't get into the. the offensive swinging thing. Aaron.

Jones can get the job done. Mason can. get the job done. It's like on paper, >> none of it makes sense. >> But then your eyes see it, it goes, that's the worst we've ever seen in our. entire life. How's that even possible? They're even getting talked about maybe. being like the Chargers this year on the. offensive side, but maybe worse somehow. >> Actually. >> crazy to think about. But then they're. saying maybe call Justin Herbert. That's. what Dan Rowski was saying last night. If if I'm the Vikings, I'm making the. most obscene ask yesterday. I'm calling. the Bengals. How much for Joe Burrow? [snorts].

>> They're going to say, "No, sweet. We're. I'm calling everybody.". >> He said, "With this defense, you got to. do these calls yesterday." And after. watching it, it's like, >> "Yeah, I think that makes a lot of. sense. They have until four o'clock. today." a man who knows a lot about the. trade deadline, a lot about what's. happening behind the scenes, and a lot. about multiple situations that are. currently brewing in the NFL universe. Friend of the program, legendary founder. of Rosenhouse Sports, Drew Rosenhouse. >> Drew, thank you for joining us, brother,

on this trade deadline day. How are you. doing? >> It is a it's a hectic day. I've got a. lot of clients on edge, Pat. Um, we had. a client traded yesterday, Devon. Gotchow. uh he went to the Jaguars from the. Saints and last year at this time we had. Rasheed Shahed who was traded from the. Saints to the Seahawks and that was a. big trade because Shahed was. instrumental in the Seahawks winning. their championship. So will there be. more trades like that today? Absolutely.

>> Okay. Okay. So, tell me how much the. agent is a part of that and we we'll. dive into Aayuk Tyreek Hill other. situations here in a matter of moments. But since we are on trade deadline day. here, waiting for the trade parade to. continue from the past couple of days, agents, now there's two different. situations I assume where the team is. trading player without player knowing it. and then there's player requesting. trade. What is much more likely to. happen and how often are you involved in. something before it maybe gets decided. or announced publicly?

Usually I am involved especially if uh. there's a contract in place uh or there. should be a new contract because a. player may be in the last year of his. deal. When the teams trade for players, remember they're acquiring a contract. and they're giving up compensation. They. may be giving up picks another player. And you know what? It's not ideal if you. lose that guy at the end of the season. in eight or nine games possibly.

to free agency. So, you call the agent. and say, "Can we work on a contract. extension? We're thinking about trading. for your client, but we also want to add. some more years to the deal." Sometimes. teams will reach out and ask how my. client will feel about a trade. There. will be teams that will often call and. say, "Look, we're interested in. acquiring your guy. Does he want to be. here? We don't want to bring in a player. that doesn't want to be a part of our. program. So, for example, Pat, right now.

we have a client Josh Sweat, the. defensive end, the Pro Bowl end from the. Cardinals. He's been a topic of. conversation. I'm not allowed to talk to. teams because he's under contract. So, this could be a trade that takes place. without reaching out to me. A club could. just acquire his current deal. He has. two and a half years left on his. contract. So, they wouldn't need to call. us unless they wanted to find out if.

Swaty wanted to be there. So, that's one. guy to keep an eye on between now and. 4:00. >> Okay. We'll certainly do that with. Sweat. His name has peaked into the. conversation of potentially hitting the. trade parade here on trade deadline day. Thank you for the insight on it because. we know insiders get their information. from a lot of different people, but it. feels like they might find out before. the player even finds out. And then I so. we're all trying to figure out who all. knows about these before they happen. You got both GMs, you got both personnel. teams, and then agents sometimes.

involved, especially if it's a hey, do. you want to come or not come? So that's. how these all leak out, you think? Because for instance, there was just a. trade rescended. >> that was reported publicly because of a. compensatory pick. So the Eagles traded. away Arnold. >> Debbie Kenny, >> thank you to the Bengals in exchange for. a sixth round pick. Okay. So, they move. on. Then they learn. Yeah. >> Uh, oh, wait a second. We're going to. lose a third round competitor pick if. this happens. We don't want to do that. at all. So, it's like who has who tells.

them that? Like, who gives them that. information? The league tells them that. as they're putting that in. Is an agent. saying that? Like, when do they find out. after? When they because it feels like. there's a lot of chaos around all of. these moves, Drew. >> Yeah. The NFL would chime in on that. Or. this might be a polite way perhaps of. Eveti saying that he doesn't want to go. play for the Bengals. And this could be. a nice way of of kind of killing the. deal. I'm just speculating. I don't know. that to be the case. He's not a client, but I've killed a few deals in my time.

over the years. We had Antonio Brown who. was traded um and and we w up knocking. that deal out. We've had Ma Fitzpatrick. traded. We restructured that. He went to. another team. There are a lot of trades. that we've killed over the years because. our clients simply didn't want to be a. part of the trade. >> That's been said before. Many great. players. Uh Rob Gronowski said, "I. retire whenever he was traded to the. Lions." Okay. Is that right? I retire. I'm locked up. >> I was in the middle of it. Rob's our.

client. I was in the middle of that. deal. I had to call Matt Patricia and. Bob Quinn, the GM and head coach, and. say, "Hey, Bronx's not going to play in. Detroit. It's either New England or. retirement." We then called Bill Bich. Rob flew up and met with Bill the next. day. They worked things out. Rob wound. up playing that season with New England. >> But players have done this in the past, we're saying. So, this is a part of the. business today. Could be a lot of. insanity. Okay, let's talk a little bit. about some insanity. And I don't mean.

that in a way to say something negative. about something, but just a situation. that has unfolded in the NFL that we. could have never expected in 2026. Brandon Aayuk with the San Francisco. 49ers. It has all been very public. We've all seen the relationship. deteriorate. We've heard from both. sides. Now, we know that there's a. potential pending financial penalty. because of a signing bonus and then uh. that having to be paid back to the tune. of allegedly $13 million. Then we find. out Brandon Iayuk signs with you uh to. be uh his representative and immediately.

you go to work. Now, we would like to. say this. We don't think you signed. Brandon Aayuk if you didn't have hope in. Brandon Aayuk. You could sign anybody. you could represent anybody, you still. work your ass off. You're one of the. greatest in the history of all agents, let alone sports agents, let alone NFL. agents. So, whenever we see that he. signs with you, that was a big indicator. to us that maybe he's for real because. you would have to check that first and. then getting him back onto the field. with all the financial [ __ ] and personal.

uh offensive [ __ ] that's kind of. happening. What is your plans? We saw. you have a helicopter follow you around. [laughter] in your sprinter van going to. Starbucks. We saw you talk outside of. there with Brandon Iayuk. Can you give. us a little bit more information on what. the goal is and how we're going to get. there for Brandon? And that money feels. like a big deal uh a part of this entire. thing. Drew. >> Yeah. So, let me just start with this. Uh Brandon Brandon was recommended to me. by a couple of our clients. He gave me a.

call last week. We had a great. conversation. We had a meeting and yes, I am convinced that he is back on track, that he is heading in the right. direction. I'm in the business to help. players and I felt like this was a. player that could use my help. Um, he. was in a dilemma really in limbo, no. man's land. I have a great relationship. with the 49ers. I have a lot of respect. for Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch, and the. 49ers organization. When Brandon when.

Brandon hired me, I got on the phone. I. brought those two together. We went out. and met with the team and the team uh. they gave Brandon a physical. He's. healthy number one. He passed the. physical. He was reinstated to the. league, which is huge. But the NFL uh. like in any case when a player is out. this long gave the 49ers a two-week. exemption. What happens from here? Well,

Brandon uh will either play for the. 49ers when the two weeks is up or they. can decide to release him by which he. will be a free agent. And I expect that. there will be interest in him. I. definitely expect him to play this. season. Judging the comments from coach. Shanahan, it doesn't sound like they. plan on bringing Brandon back. So, when. the two weeks is over, it's my job to. potentially find a new team for him. And.

I'm confident now that he's healthy that. he will play. As far as the money that's. allegedly owed, Pat, that 13 million, whatever it is, he hasn't paid anything. yet. That's something that we'll work. out separate and distinct from the issue. of him playing. Hopefully, we'll work. something out to the benefit of. Brandon's and something that's fair. Uh, and that's also part of my job. [snorts]. >> Okay. And so thank you for all the. inside uh insight uh to the situation.

Brandon Iayuk, having suitors is. something that you would not say. publicly if it was not actual. I. remember going into the draft, everybody. was questioning why you weren't doing. workouts for uh Jaylen Gardner and you. were like, uh he's not traveling anybody. outside of Ted, okay? He's not doing. that. That's just not what we're doing. And everybody was like, oh, Drew. Rosenhouse is maybe hurting his client. And lo and behold, I think it was pick. nine to the Eagles or something like. that happened. you had a good inside. track on what was possible there. So, it. sounds like you think Aayuk's services.

will be wanted around the NFL. Whenever. you say he passes a physical, have you. seen him play football as well at this. point? Have you talked to him? Have you. heard about what happened? Like, how do. how do you think you're selling not. selling, but how do you think you're. working for your client whenever NFL. teams are calling asking a lot of. questions about what we've all seen very. publicly over the last few months slashy. year with the San Francisco 49ers? Well, I I definitely would tell the teams that. he has passed many physicals. Um, you.

know, with the 49ers, he had an MRI, he. had X-rays, he had a physical exam, and. he passed it with flying colors. He's. working out on his own. He's running. routes. He's catching footballs. He says. he's 100% ready to play. we'd be glad to. go work out for interested teams if he. is released by the 49ers. Um, and as far. as me talking to the teams, I think that. in all likelihood, Brandon would.

probably sign with a team that knows. him, that somebody that has somehow been. affiliated with him either in college or. the 49ers. >> That's just my guess because, you know, there's a lot of that in the NFL. you. see people connect the dots where they. have history, where there's. relationships. I don't know where yet, but that's just my assumption that. something like that could happen. A. former coach, maybe a former player that. he played with, somebody that knows him. And I think he's in a really good place.

He met with the 49ers. He did a good job. in the meeting with them. He said hello. to John Lynch. He met with the team. I. just feel like he's in a good place. and. getting to know him over the last week. I'm confident in his future moving. forward. >> All right. I'm excited to see what that. relationship is. Damn good football. player, which is why we are all so. bummed out about how it was going. Please wish him our best luck through. this entire process. Excited to see. where he ends up. You're saying you're. expecting him to play this year. Let's.

go to another former wide receiver for. the Niners. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Drew. I wanted to ask you about. Jawan Jennings. uh there was some news. uh that maybe he turned down a potential. trade to return back to the Niners in. that situation. Then there's also. obviously smoke around him uh on the. trade deadline today potentially being. on the move. Um didn't play last night. uh with the Vikings and then obviously. they're in the news uh for the trade. market as well. What's the latest on. Jawan and do you expect anything to. happen with him today? You know, I talked to Jawan um just a.

couple days ago and he did miss the. game, but it's nothing significant. He's. got a C strain. We're hopeful that he'll. be back for the next game. Um as far as. the trade, in all my discussions with. Jawan, he seems very happy in Minnesota. and it's my belief that he'll continue. with the Vikings. Um we have a lot of. clients on the Vikings. We've heard you. guys speculate about quarterbacks. Yeah. >> Just watching that game as an advocate.

for our guys, >> players like Van Ginkle and Aaron Jones, Mattelis, Darasaw, um, and others. I I wouldn't mind seeing. them acquire a quarterback in a trade. [laughter]. >> You saw it, Drew. >> Yeah, we all saw it. We all felt it. Dude, I I did not expect that from the. Vikings fans. I I think that was. >> They're fed up. I'm [laughter] telling. you, I genuinely didn't. I I don't know. what I expected. I'm going be honest. I. don't know what I I don't know if I. expected anything at all. >> But just on the way out being like,

"Hey, you stop lying. You you're lying. >> Fix this. >> about what's going on here. You're. saying this guy's the greatest. He's. not. We've just we've been in hell here. [laughter] Hey, you just watched it. Tell people about that." It's like, damn. >> Tell them what you saw. >> Damn. I I did not know that because that. defense is remarkable. Okay, last. question for you here, Drew. Go ahead, D. >> Yeah, Drew. I know you've been in the. game forever. Congratulations to. actually happy belated birth. I know you. just turned 60 and still bring it, but. take us inside I guess like the final. hour of trade deadline day. I know you.

rep a ton of client. What's actually. going on? Then compare that today to. like 10 years ago deadline day. >> It's way more active dut than it was. when when you know you and I were. working together. Um it is the most. active that I've ever seen it. I think. because there are pressure on GMs to win. now. They're not worried about next. year's draft choices. They may not be in. the general manager seat. We're looking. at a guy like Jordan Davis here. And and. as an agent, you've got guys that maybe.

are welcoming a trade that are saying, "Drew, please get me traded. Get this. done in the next hour." And then on the. flip side, you've got guys that don't. want to be traded and that are holding. their breath. they've been a part of the. rumors and are hoping that they stay. Um, I'll be working the phones for our. guys who want to be traded. And I'm. right now I'm still working the phones. for like Tyreek Hill. Um, and as soon as. Tyreek is healthy and is cleared. medically, I'm letting teams know, hey,

remember, you may not have to trade for. a receiver. You could just go sign. Tyreek whenever we get that medical. clearance, which we hope will be soon. And at the end of the day, I think. Tyreek is close. As we're looking at him. right now, I think he's going to make a. great comeback. I do think he's close to. getting cleared. He hasn't been cleared. yet, but when we get that Okay, I expect. him to be playing and making things. happen this season. >> Okay. So, you say close, is that like.

one to two weeks, four weeks, and then. didn't something something else just. came out, right, about Tyreek? I think. there was another very serious situation. that was uh brewing in his life that I. did not know. It just kind of popped up. out of nowhere. I believe he was in. court. I believe he was in court. There. was a lot going on. >> Is do the NFL teams know about that? H. how did you know that was like what how. do we view about that particular. situation off the field verse Tyreek. getting cleared medically which you say. is in the next few weeks? Is that a good.

uh guesstimation? >> Yeah, it is bad. But I do think it's. within the next few weeks. And I've. never pressured Tyreek because it's a. tough injury that he had. And look, we're still waiting for guys like. Michael Parsons to come back and and to. put things in comparison. You know, Tyreek, he had a he had a tough injury. and and he's still on course, but it is. going to be a few weeks. As far as the. the civil case, um it was relating to a. divorce case. um and his uh uh soon to.

be ex-wife. Um the league is aware of. it, the teams are aware of it, and we're. optimistic that um that hopefully that's. not going to impact uh his future in the. NFL. >> Okay. Well, Tyreek, when he's on the. football field, he is one of the. greatest players we've ever seen. So, if. he gets back healthy on the field and. off the field, let's go, boys. Let's be. assets to society as we're on the field. making the world come together in a way. that athleticism and perfection can do.

that nobody else has in the world. We. appreciate the hell out of you Drew. Thank you for joining us and uh good. luck the rest of the day. >> Thanks Pat. Talk to you again next time. >> Ladies and gentlemen, it's Drew. Rosenheim. >> Way to go Drew. Yeah, that Tyreek thing. popped out of note. I'm like Tyreek's in. court right now. And then I'm reading. what Tyreek's saying. I'm like. >> does the NFL know about this? Yeah, he's. just uh and he hasn't been cleared. medically. I thought he I didn't know. that we were waiting on a clear back. because I've seen him run.

>> He was running in his backyard, right? I. thought he was back and mock punts. Fielding some mock punts. >> Who said that? >> Drew did last time he was on. >> What was he talking about then? >> Uh a lot of a lot about LSU and. [laughter] kind of what's going on down. there in Baton Rouge. [laughter]. >> Can you say LSU now without saying it. like that? >> No. None of us care. >> No. LSU. >> There it is. I mean, it is. >> It's It's infectious. >> And remember that was when Drew was. talking about Cleveland Brown.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. Exactly. >> Going down to. >> LSU. >> He's the best. Drew, we love you, buddy. Have a good one, Drew. >> Hell yeah, Drew. >> Drew's been doing it. The amount of. money in deals that he's been a part of, just like billions and billions, >> 10 billion plus billions. Billions of. dollars. Yeah. I had a chance to uh. watch him work, experience him. He he. was with uh Grunk's brother. >> Chris. Yeah. >> Yes. Chris who was incredible teammate,

very jacked, fullback, great special. teamer, but he had the relationship with. Rosen House. Got a chance to meet Rosen. House and just learn about him and his. operation and his people. Did he rep you. for a little bit? You mentioned that. Brett me coming out and for most of my. career, I think uh eight years of my. career, but he he had a ton of clients, but if you've hit him at one 1:00, he's. hit you back at 102 at the latest. And. that was kind of before he has, you. know, had a family and kids and a wife. and stuff like that, but I'm sure he. still works at heart. >> Ladies and gentlemen, it is trade.

deadline day and uh we are waiting for. the trade parade to continue. Feels like. we. were sold. >> Yeah. >> A false bill of goods. >> Oh, you sound surprised. >> Bamboo's weight. >> Hood weight. >> You got something? >> No, but um Foxy maybe sent in a tweet um. this morning from Pagnetti. The. majority, the highest percentage of the. deals get done. It was like more than. double everything else get done between. 3 and 4 p.m. >> We're not on.

>> I know, but. >> I was planning on this show being. trade deadline. I'm just saying let's, you know, let's let's not get our. dobbers down and go, I don't know, 0 and. eight for the rest OF THIS. >> IT'S ALWAYS FREAKING HAPPENED. [laughter]. >> What's that? >> I hate this day because of that. >> Oh, cool [ __ ] happened already. Oh, cool. stuff happened. It's not going to. happen. >> Like Jordan Davis and all. >> No, no, no. Bad. >> No, no, no. >> There's one more big domino that's going.

to fall today. A big one. >> Gumpy. Big one. >> inside of Gump. >> That's gubba. Uh Bubba Gumpy knows that. it's coming. I I do appreciate that out. of Gump. >> If it's not Jonathan Taylor, this whole. thing's a huge waste of time. >> Okay. Uh we're going to need a one at. least one. >> The Vikings are getting Justin Herbert. >> Okay. So, >> that'd be awesome. >> Big news. You guys are acting like big. things haven't happened today. >> Hey, Matt Stafford. Go get Stafford. Ram. season's over. >> Ram season's over here. >> They're five and four. Puka and I are.

>> I don't like what happened to Puka at. all. I don't like what that does to the. offense. Devonte also. >> they ran that play. >> Miles Garrett being back and then now. Puka [laughter]. >> that's part of Puka's play. Uh but you. know him coming back that that is a. bummer. But maybe Matthew Stafford is a. thing cuz did you see what was tweeted? >> No. >> Sher said per Ian Rapaort and me the. Minnesota Vikings have begun making. calls FOR A QUARTERBACK. OH, >> JUST NOW. >> [ __ ]. >> developing. The Vikings have begun. making calls around the league about.

trading for a quarterback ahead of. today's 400 p.m. deadline. Per Sheffy. and rap sheet. >> sheet told us in the third quarter last. night. >> Yeah, nice tweet Sheffy. >> Boom. That's senior and junior coming. together. >> Yeah, it is. >> Boom. >> Senior. >> That's right. >> For a terrible tweet. Who cares? We. know. Duh. Yeah, I could have tweeted. that and it would have had the same. effect. Can we just report a trade? Damn. it. [laughter]. >> I don't want to do this song and dance.

again. >> It's not their fault. It's the GMs. >> They need to get it done. >> Might be the GMs. Might be the players. Might be the current state of the NFL. Could be owners as well not wanting to. give more money to somebody from outside. the organization that hasn't really done. anything. But you're going to have to. owe this amount of money as soon as this. person gets here because we're signed. for a massive deal. That's like Jeffrey. Simmons going to Chicago. They pick up. what 35 million a year with him. >> And I I assume there's some other. conversation and the owner, you know, oh, this is a brand new contract we got. coming in here after the first game. >> Yep. Pay him more. >> Let's do that. Let's go ahead and give.

him a new deal. There's a lot of those. situations that brew as well. Packers. know that. >> Yeah. And I guess you could see with. like the Vikings like Nolan Teasley. might have to sit KOC down and be like, "Stop [ __ ] lying to me and tell me. which one of these guys can actually be. good in the system." Okay? You're not. good with every [ __ ] guy. So, don't. tell me that you can take any of these. guys and we'll start winning. I need you. to [ __ ] smack yourself in the face. Ring that [ __ ] brain of ears really. hard and tell me which one of these guys. you can win with. I don't want to hear.

that you can do it with anybody. I don't. want to [ __ ] hear it. >> They might have had that real. conversation. I like how upset you are. He's personally offended from having to. watch that last night. We only get a. certain amount of field passes. >> Pro Football Talks Mike Florio says. >> from a source in a nope, Vikings going. to get a QB. Now, question of who? Daniel Jones, Gino Smith, MS, Kirk. Cousins, TBD surprise, TBT, huge. surprise, but it will be something. Mike. Florio says, "Hold your horses, Ty. Smith. There's still something big. coming on this trade deadline day.". >> I hope it's Dan Jones.

>> Hour two on the other side. Will. something happen? We shall see. Be a. friend. Tell a friend something nice. might change her life. We'll see you on. the other side. Home Depot, shout out to Notre Dame. and. shout to the kicking is easy contest. because we've had legends join us. Kirk, >> I mean. >> Joe Montana. [cheering]. for you and the guy. >> Thank you. Our kicker today who won the. raffle is a man named Michael Milano.

Michael, how you doing? What year are. you here at school? >> I'm a junior here. >> Okay. What's your major, brother? >> I'm premed. >> Have you ever kicked anything before, Michael? >> Never. I've never kicked anything. >> You have cleats on here? >> These are my roommates. You got cleat on. cleats. I've never kicked before. >> Before we get to your kick, Michael, I. was wondering if you'd be okay with us. having this dancing leprechaun attempt. to kick for some charity. Is that okay? >> Of course. >> Okay. So, maybe the leprechaun will. actually show you how to do something. Is that all right? >> Let's do it. >> I think this should be a $500,000. donation.

[screaming]. >> [cheering]. [laughter]. [cheering]. [screaming]. >> Leprechauni. [applause and cheering]. There was one man who is a premed major.

who had to sit and watch the leprechaun. just drain a $500,000 kick. Joe Montana, >> what would your messaging be here to. fellow Paison as he attempts to kick for. $1. million? [cheering]. >> You got it. Don't even [applause] think. about it. We can always blame the. holder. [laughter]. Please bring out the blockers for Milano. here who lied to our face.

>> Michael Irvin representing one of the. blockers. >> Gumpy representing one of THE OTHER. BLOCKERS. TWO Miami Hurricane. legends. >> Two legends. >> Cancel off Michael Irvin who might be. dancing on your brain and dancing on the. sideline. Gumpy's talking trash to here. >> Gumpy, he's an ex ship painter from. Canada. >> Yeah, >> that guy wants to block your kick. Most. >> Mr. Milano.

for $1 million. [screaming]. [cheering]. [cheering]. Yeah, let's have a couple jokes. Let's. have a couple draw. [cheering] Oh my. god.

[screaming]. >> Hello, beautiful people, and welcome. back to our humble abode, the DraftKings. Thunderdome. on this trade deadline. Tuesday, November 10th, 2026. [music]. Hour two of the program begins now. >> Football. >> Here's the greatest. We had a chance to. be boots on the ground for Monday Night. Football last night as the Buffalo Bills. get another win over the Minnesota. Vikings who are now in the quarterback. market because of how horrendous the.

offensive performance was by Carson. Wentz and the lads for the Minnesota. Vikings. Minnesota Vikings defense some. people describing as generational. potentially championship winning. But if. the offense can't get it figured out, nobody's ever going to remember them at. all. Now, there's a lot of older lads on. that defense. Their time is now to win. Normally, we talk about a quarterback's. window being open. Normally, we talk. about an offense's window being open. For this particular case, Minnesota. Vikings, everybody on Earth that watches. them play says, "This defense has a. championship window that you need to.

figure out. Are they doing that right. now behind the scenes, find a new. quarterback?" Yes, is what we're being. told. Who will that be? We shall find. out in about 2 hours and 50 minutes from. now. Now, as the trade deadline hits at. 400 p.m., Buffalo Bills, they're. probably hunters as well. Brandon Bean. will call around to everybody about. everything. He knows his team could. potentially go on and win an entire. Super Bowl. Massive one in Monday Night. Football for Josh Allen. Spencer Brown. of the offensive line joining us. earlier. James Cook goes for over a 100. yards with 30 plus rushes. An absolutely. dominant performance by this Buffalo.

Bills team that leaves the other side. thinking to themselves, we need to reset. everything on the offensive side. And. our head coach is an offensive head. coach. And uh I didn't know it was like. that over there. Talks the tables here. at Boston Connor at Tai Schmidt. Uh Tai. Con man has been seemingly taking out uh. some personal grudges into this. microphone. Not only of him, but a lot. of people in US Bank Stadium last night. is what it's felt like all morning. >> Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, Tai. wasn't the one that was telling us, hey, it's all smok and mirrors when it comes.

to the Minnesota Vikings. That wasn't. Tai's words. That is what a Vikings fan. said to us. So, it was hard to kind of. get that out of your mind. I still have. faith in KOC a little bit more than. maybe some other people do, especially. the fans of the actual team, but they do. have to figure it out cuz it is becoming. a, hey, we've been told over the last. few years with the Pastronaut and with. all these other quarterbacks, you know, coming in. They won nine games last year. with JJ McCarthy and a bunch of other.

quarterbacks here. But now, here we are. once again where Carson Wentz isn't. working. Kyler Murray, I think we all. thought was going to work out at least a. little better than it did. It looked. awful and it seemingly was one of those. things. We're like, hey, Kyler Murray. has led a team to the playoffs, has. actually been 11-0 with the Arizona. Cardinals with another kind of offensive. guru and Cliff Kingsbury. So, you would. assume KOC and Justin Jefferson and all. these guys could do it, too. And that. not working out was kind of been very. damning to me. But, we'll see. You bring.

in M. Jones, I think they go all the way. to the NFC title game. M Jones, you've. been pounding that drum uh for a while. now with the San Francisco 49ers let him. out of the building. He's seemingly a. big vibes guy for them. >> Huge. >> He's walking out early. You know, he's. one of the first guys alongside uh Debo. and carrying the the boom box walking. out. >> He's got the gritty, so he would fit. right in with the Vikings that that it's. kind of one of those connectors. >> He's got the gritty. Mac, he he does the. gritty. >> That's the gasei, actually. >> Yeah. Yeah, that's the gasei. But Mac's. got the gritty. And the Vikings fans,

they got a cool gritty cam. What What. are you looking at? Boy, nobody got to. see your little footsies doing what they. were doing. >> That's part of the dance, man. You got. to freaking. [laughter]. right there. >> Little toes down. >> Remember back in the Pro Bowl, man, he'd. be he'd be litty up there in Minnesota, dogs. >> Yeah, he would be super litty in. Minnesota. I think he's super litty in. San Francisco. I think they like him a. lot. Going to take a lot to get him out. of there. Super Bowl odds on favorites. San Francisco 49ers aren't just going to. let him walk out of the building. One. half of the hammer.

Cowboys AP Tone is here. Last night, favorites cover yet again. Huge weekend. for the people who we thought were going. to be better than the other team. >> Yeah. 14 and one uh for the entire week. on favorites just winning the game. Uh. the only one that didn't win was the. Patriots and the Packers were actually. the, you know, getting the majority of. the bets on that one. So, the public had. a great Sorry, it's just stats, just. things that happened. Uh and then they. also, yeah, they covered 113 and one. against the spread. or if you want to. give the Colts, you know, a hypothetical. win on the weekend. 11 and four uh were.

the favorites against the spread in that. situation. So, a huge one for the. public, a huge one um for us making. money and and not for the books. A bad. weekend for the books, but I mean. they're fine. >> Yeah, bad weekend for the books, good. weekend for us. And if you are of age. coast to coast, we love for you to come. join us on DraftKings, but you have to. agree to do it responsibly. We don't. need you to be an [ __ ] to ruin it for. all of us. Please do not do that. Nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is. here. What an experience being in that. end zone last night getting a chance to. call that game. Absolutely. Buffalo. Bills might go on to win it all. We've.

seen them twice now in Monday Night. Football against the Rams, now against. the Vikings. Josh Allen, special talent. All of Bills much better than I. expected. >> Absolutely. The only question marks you. come out with the Buffalo Bills is. production from the wide receiver room. and then is the defense going to. continue to get better? Obviously, they. looked great last night against Carson. Wson and the Minnesota Vikings. Uh but. can they play against the top, you know, tier in the AFC? You're talking about. the Bengals. You're talking about the. Jaguars and these other teams down the. stretch. Will they be able to hold serve. and obviously have the the answer at.

quarterback and you know you have it at. running back as well. Joe Brady is. showing that he's a good young head. coach that can just win in different. type of ways. So I'm excited to see. where this year's this version of the. Buffalo Bills how they end up the season. because we talked about with the Spencer. obviously it's one and0 week to week for. them but for us talking in the. microphones you have an MVP quarterback. the Super Bowl window is open. So what. are you going to do with that? >> Chop and Russo were all over the place. I I think I completely [clears throat]. forgot that they were a tandem. I I I. think I forgot about that before last. night, getting to watch it. Shout out to.

the Bill was having a phenomenal. performance, getting another win, dominating win in Minnesota. So much so. that they're trying to trade for anybody. that they can get. Joining us now is a. man who's a college football national. champion, Super Bowl champion, Rder Cup. winner, the all-time leading tackler for. the Green Bay Packers, ladies and. gentlemen, AJ. >> Vaka. A lot of people pissed off that. the Minnesota Vikings defense is getting. wasted. Uh, and I think after watching. them last night, they're everywhere and. they are just as violent as anybody that. we have seen on the defensive side. Offensively, a lot to be desired. And. then Buffalo Bills get a huge win. Your.

takeaway from last night, AJ? >> Uh, well, first off, I thought you guys. did a great job. Obviously, the whole. Carson Wentz uh narrative throughout the. whole game was pretty amazing. I love to. hear Diggs say he's saw him in warm-ups. kind of hot dogging around, you know, doing the three spin moves and throw his. first ball of the night on the field. And I I just love his mindset. I guess I. like you've always talked about like the. Carson Wentz experience. We we got to. experience that as viewers last night. It was fun to see, but I think this. Buffalo Bills team is for real. I think. their uh their defense is continuing to.

improve. I understand you guys are. saying they played Carson Wentz, but I. still think they're getting better. This. was a hell of a play right here. Questionable ball or I guess. questionable placement on that ball, but. uh great play. I feel bad, too. Carson's. foot got stepped on. Could have had a. third pick. >> Yeah. Yeah. The foot that was really. tough. I'm going to be honest cuz in. real time it was hard not to say, "Wow.". And I did say actually this guy sucks. I. I can't take it because it was directly. in the chest of a buff. There it is. Directly in the chest of a Buffalo Bills. linebacker and there's no Vikings. around. And then we find out he got his.

foot stepped on by a 64 330 guy and it's. like okay that is a difficult thing. If. this was the only throw of the night. that was like this I think uh I would. have given him a pass quicker. Everybody. would have given him a pass quicker. that when you don't know that he's. getting his foot completely mangled by a. 300 plus pounder, that looks like one of. the worst throws in the history of the. NFL. That that actually looks like that. as he puts it right on a guy. I I mean, just right on a linebacker's chest. >> Look how wide open the guy's coming on.

the numbers on the 30 right now. >> Yeah. Well, also Addison over top. I I. mean, there was multiple feels like the. play design was right and it feels like. the time it was called was good. He. doesn't get stepped on. That's probably. touchdown. We're talking differently. about Carson Wentz. He get he gets. stepped on though. He puts it right in. the middle of the eight on a Buffalo. Bills uh defender whenever there was a. bunch of people open everywhere else. So. that was when I got disgusted live on. air. And then once I saw him getting. stepped on, I was like, "Okay, whoa. whoa. I would like to take that back.". Which I would because there's a lot of. criticism for Carson Wentz, so we can.

only do it whenever it's fair. Uh he was. horrendous. >> Yeah. >> And uh I think he knows that. I think he. probably feels as if he might have the. yips. Like when he misses two guys, easy. throws in his head, he's probably. thinking like, "Mike, what's going on. here?" You know. >> the hell? >> And then Kevin Oonnell's [laughter]. like, "Don't worry, I'm giving you like. 16 more, bro. Right down the pipe, it's. coming." And then as he's missing. layups, there's no way he's liking that. either. Like he has to know in real time. that it's not going well, right, Debb? We would assume. >> Uh yeah, from the first throw we saw.

with TJ, you know, it went empty. He was. wide open, threw it, you know, four feet. over his head. Then we saw the where he. tried you. Hey, cuz in the huddle of KC, you're looking at the play card. You're. like, "All right, let me give him. something easy. Let me give him a quick. easy completion." All right, quick. screen, bubble screen to Justin. Jefferson. Uh, nope. Let me put it throw. it back. That'll be a lateral. That'll. be a fumble. So, yeah, it was I don't. know what the hell Carson was thinking. I'm'll be honest with you. I I'm going. be completely I don't know. >> At a certain point, Car Carson has to. just voice back to KC like, "Hey, stop. You think you should take himself out? >> Stop, man. I let Let me hand it off. I I.

don't know why why we're doing all this. You just called another pass play. I. can't do this, man. >> Enough is enough. >> Stop. Look, the people are going to hate. me here. I like living in Minnesota. >> What if Carson told KC, "We wened too. far.". >> Yeah, call. >> Okay, now. >> I've been with me for my whole life. >> Now we're talking. >> We've wed way too far here. >> Either call, flee, flicker. >> How about Orlovski, AJ? Cover two here. Should definitely be a run, especially. with the recent success. It's not. It's.

a throw. It's [laughter] an. interception. I mean, it was just a. comedy of errors last night on the. offensive side. They are very much still. in it, though. The Vikings with that. defense, if they can find an offense, whoever is to blame for that, they could. still be in the dance down the stretch. The NFC has a lot of great teams. The. Vikings defense is certainly elite. Do. they get it figured out on this trade. deadline day? Well, we shall see. It's. not just trade deadline day tonight. Huge news as the second CFP ranking is. unveiled on ESPN. Joining us now,

incredibly lucky for this conversation. We are very appreciative. Uh former uh. retired threear general from the Air. Force. >> Geez. >> Yeah, dude. Flew B1 bombers. Do Do you That's. our UFO, right? That's That's what our. >> over 400 combat hours. >> Yeah. >> 400 combat hours. He is now the. executive director director of the CFP.

and I believe the CFP committee. Ladies. and gentlemen, it is an honor. Lieutenant General Rich Clark. [cheering and applause]. >> What's going on, fellas? Good to see you. guys. >> Before we get to the CFP and we have. hard-hitting questions, okay, I'm. putting your [ __ ] feet to the fire. today, Rich. Okay, I'm doing it today. It's coming. It's all coming. >> All right, let's do this. >> Hey, B1 Bombers autopilot. You're not. doing so. Can you just tell me a little. bit about that? You four what is it? How. many? >> So I've done some research said uh four.

42 plus 100 hours and then 400 combat. hours. >> Okay. So. >> in 1986. >> we need to that needs to be known that. that is the person that is currently the. executive director of the CFP. We are. very thankful that you are in college. football world. But let's talk about. your military experience. YOU WERE A. FIGHTER PILOT. How did you sign up for. that? Is that immediately out of high. school? And thank you for your service, sir. No, I appreciate that. I went to the Air. Force Academy actually played football. there and uh graduated back in 1986.

So, uh. >> yeah, that was a long time ago, 40 years. or something. But anyway, went from. there to pilot training and was. fortunate enough to fly airplanes for. most of my career and it was awesome. I. loved it. But uh you know it it was a. great career and honestly blessed by the. whole thing but even more blessed to be. able to retire and then come work for. the CFP. I couldn't ask for better. It's. been great. Awesome. Awesome life.

>> Well, we're thankful for your service. and we're also thankful that you were in. the college football world in the. position that you are in. Let's talk. about tonight and what we should expect. or how we can expect these to come to. be. uh these new rankings last week. chaos happens on Saturday. There might. be a little bit more openness to 24 team. playoff as these rankings continue to. come out. You guys yesterday announced. uh another deal with ESPN to be the. exclusive CFP partner for a 24 team.

playoff. massive deal for you in the CFP. to get done and obviously ESPN uh to add. another 1.7 billion uh to the deal that. they had for the 12 team playoff as. well. I assume they had exclusive. negotiating rights if you were to open. it up to 24 teams, whatever the case is. Can you tell me about getting to this. and do you think public sentiment will. continue to change as we battle over who. the top 12 are because this feels like. the most parody riddled year that we've. had thus far if that makes sense. Rich.

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. And uh it. was a long journey to be honest with. you. We we've been talking about this. with the management committee. Uh the. management committee though, let me just. to be be clear on that. That's the 10. FBS commissioners and the Notre Dame. athletic director. So, they're the ones. that really make the decisions here. And. we've been talking about it for about a. year and a half. and just trying to work. through all the different uh elements of. a of an expanded playoff because we all.

really like 12. I mean, it was great, but could we get better? Could we make. it evolve and help it to evolve with the. college football landscape? And I think. we're landed in a pretty good place. So, um, some people, uh, I know there's some. sentiment against it from a lot of fans. actually, but I will tell you with the. parody, like you mentioned coming into. college football, the one thing we have. to do that we need to make sure that we. do at this playoff is to crown the true. champion. And, and I think uh, an.

expanded playoff really helps us to get. there. I mean, we're going to have a lot. more opportunity for teams to get in. You'll see teams that may not have been. in before. You'll have fan bases that. haven't been engaged as much before. You'll have student athletes who are. getting into this, coaches who want to. see the expansion. I think it's going to. be great for college football in. general. And what I do know is more of. the decision will be decided on the. field instead of in a committee room. Nothing against the committee cuz I love.

them. They do great work. We have great. people on this committee. >> But you're going to decide more of it on. the field now. And and I think that's a. good thing. >> Okay. Okay. So, all the commissioners. and Pete Bvakqua, athletic director for. Notre Dame, come together and make this. decision over a year and a half. And you. talk about we're definitely going to. have a wider net. So, we make sure that. the champion is certainly in there. You. knew that public sentiment was going to. be a little bit negative potentially. The drawback. I think the big worry from. a lot of the OG college football fans is. first of all, radical change is never.

really something that doesn't meet. turbulence. You know, I think we. experience that on a regular basis and I. think you would understand that. know. that radical change is definitely going. to have some blowback to begin with, but. I think they're worried about the. college football regular season not. being the college football regular. season anymore. As a former player and. as a man that's been around this uh. world now as much as you have, talking. to the commissioners, talking to. coaches, hearing everybody's worries, what are your thoughts as the ex uh. executive director of CFB that the.

regular season now might not be what. college football's regular season has. always been, which is every week. matters. Is is that something that comes. up in discussions and how did you guys. corral those convos? >> Yeah, 100%. And and the one thing that I. got to make clear is that we're here for. the regular season. The regular season. is prime and and a playoff is just a cap. off to what you hope is an incredible. amazing uh regular season. So, some of.

the things that we know, um, first, uh, it's going to give some freedom to the. coaches in their scheduling, to the. athletic director, so that, you know, they they can schedule these marquee. games now and not be worried that, uh, a. loss to a great team uh, isn't going to. knock them out of the playoff. We also. are putting in a a scheduling policy so. that uh the the A4 teams, the G6 teams. have some structure to their scheduling. that at least we at the CFP are going to.

assess. Now they can schedule how they. want. Scheduling is always always up to. the institution. It's up to the coaches, up to the ads, but what we're going to. look at are are particular games and uh. we're going to hold a standard to the. people that we're assessing. So, I think. there's a lot of things that are going. to be good uh for the regular season. And and the thing I'm most excited about. really is more of those big matchups, those big games that you see in the. year. And when people say that they. won't matter, there's there's sort of.

different tiers in this playoff that are. going to make a difference. I mean, the. first tier I would say is do you get a. buy? Um that's that's a big deal, I. think. Uh the next tier is do you get a. home game? Uh the first round and the. second round are going to be played on. campus, which is huge. The fans love. those campus games. And now, right now. in the 12 team format, we got four of. those. We're going to have 16 on campus. games in the playoff. And they're those. games are magic. I love them. And then,

uh there's teams that before never even. imagined they would have a shot to go to. the to be in a CFP playoff. Now you're. going to have that. you're going to have. top 25 matchups for a month and it's. going to be awesome. So, the regular. season is going to really build that for. us and I think it's going to matter uh. just as much. But, you know, to be. honest, the proof is in the pudding and. we at the CFP owe it to the fans. We owe. it to the athletes and the coaches to. make it spectacular and that's our.

commitment. We're going to make it. great. >> I appreciate you guys making decisions. that aren't necessarily loved by. everybody and the proof is in the. pudding. I think every time these. rankings come out, there is another. school or fan base that is like, you. know what, I guess we add a couple more. spots. It wouldn't be bad. Scared to. death to dilute it all. Last question. for me before all the boys have some. questions for you, Lieutenant General. We appreciate you joining us tonight. Whenever we watch the schedule or the. CFP rankings release and then Ree talks. to Hunter Euro. Two questions. Shouldn't.

you be the one speaking there instead of. somebody that has a vote? I don't know. if you've heard us talk about this. Hunter Yurichek, Arkansas athletic. director. He's put in an interesting. position there coming out of that CFP. committee because he has voted on things. that he likes and then there's things. that he doesn't like probably that get. by and then he is the one that is out. speaking about those things that he. probably doesn't even believe in. How. was the decision made that somebody who. has a vote is the voice immediately. afterwards as opposed to Rich, I'm gonna. let you know, Lieutenant General, you.

should be the one speaking for the CFP. whenever it's speaking, especially if. you're in the room cuz then you could. even give like uh there was a huge. debate over this in the room and this. happened and this happened as opposed to. it. How does that decision get made for. a voter to be the one that comes out and. speaks about it? And then followup that. you can hit football judgment. How much. is that this year versus years past? I. I'll let you go from there, Lieutenant. >> Okay. Thank you. So, first of all, who. speaks for the group? Uh it's been the. tradition of the CFP since its inception.

that a member of the group, the. chairman, uh speaks for the group. And. that way, you have somebody that's. actually representing the group um as a. whole that's talking to uh to the public. about what happened. So, you know, someone that actually has a vote, which. I don't, uh someone that is. representative of the group, which I'm. not necessarily, uh is speaking on. behalf of all of them. So, I I know. there's a lot of different ways to look. at this and uh some people would say.

having someone that's neutral that. didn't vote might be a better way to do. it because then you can, like you said, you can say, "Well, here's what they. talked about. Here's what they did. here's what uh they decided as opposed. to here's what we did, here's what we. decided. Uh there, you know, there's two. ways to look at that and we've opted. towards the it's about we and us and. what we did and that's that's Hunter's. role um to be able to say that and to be. one of the people that actually made. that decision. So, that's the way we.

look at it now. Who knows that could. change in the future. I don't I don't. know, but right now, um that's the. direct direction we're in. >> Okay, Rich, hold on. Let me stop you. there before we get into football. judgment. Before we get into football. judgment, >> I want to let you know that is a tough. position to be in. I I was thinking. about Hunter. >> doing that interview with Ree because. we're day daily talk show. We're in the. college football world. We're obviously. very lucky to be a part of college game. day during the weekend. So like. everything that we hear or everything we.

learn about or see is a huge piece of. the entire story, especially when we're. talking about who's going to become. champion, let alone expansion and. conference realignment and all that type. of stuff. But when Hunter Euro comes and. speaks, it's like we get a glimpse. inside the room and uh the people that. are making the decision and I I think he. doesn't want to put himself in the. jackpot for later, like two, three weeks. from now to contradict himself. potentially. So, it's it's a tough spot. to be for Hunter. Just let him know. Please let him know that we understand. it's a tough spot, but we need to give. us some answers, too. We we need we need.

some we need some answers in there, Rich. >> Let me follow up on that. Hunter is. awesome. Uh let me let me just give him. some props because first of all he. stepped in last year mid-stream uh. because we had to make a change about. halfway through the season and Hunter. came in cold turkey and just crushed it. in my opinion I think in a lot of. people's opinion and he runs the room so. well. I mean he's a great leader. He's. collaborative. He gets people talking. Pulls them into the conversation. Just.

fantastic. And then he gets up there and. like you said it's a tough job. I mean. it talking about those decisions because. they are hard hard decisions and they're. only getting harder. But he does a a. fantastic job talking about everything. and representing the discussions in that. room and he and Reese only have about. three minutes but I will tell you Hunter. he could go on for 20 minutes cuz dude. is smart. He knows football. He knows. the room and he's leading that. discussion. So I I give my hats off. I.

have huge respect for him uh as a as a. leader, but also in this role that he's. in right now. >> Yeah. Listen to this guy. Three star. general. What? Listen to the three star. general who's [clears throat] leading. the way talking about one of his men. You Hey, you just displayed phenomenal. leadership. I would like to let you know. that like, hey, whenever they ask how I. feel about Hunter, just know that this. is all how I feel about this guy. The. way he leads the room, the way he runs. conversation, the way he represents all. of us. You're a huge fan of him. I. respect that. I also view, okay, it's a. we thing as opposed to they thing. I.

like the mindset. Excited to see how. that continues to grow. Reese Davis and. Hunter Euro's conversation is huge for. us as we go forward. One thing he said. last week was the football guys in the. room, Randall McDaniel, uh Wesley Walls, Coach Dantonio, Gus Mzison, they said. that Ohio State's defense against USC up. front and then also in the back end, they thought it wasn't that good. Like. freshman quarterback certainly a. problem, but the defense up front was. problematic. this year, football.

judgment going to be used more, you. think? Is that a new thing? And when it. comes to that, what do those discussions. sound like? Is it as easy as Mark. Dantonio, who's an old school football. guy, saying like, "We got to win in the. trenches." And then Rando McDaniel being. like, "Of course, that's what this. matters." Because the biggest mismatches. we think that happen in some of these. are the trenches look like a JV team and. a varsity team. And it's like, "This is. easy. What's going to happen?" How much. football judgment this year? And how has. that expanded or evolved versus maybe. previous committees, Rich?

>> Yeah, so I I would say this uh you know, this is my third group being a part of. and they've all been great, but there is. a a level of football IQ in this room. that is really spectacular and it. couldn't have come at a better time. because of the parody that we're seeing. in football. And so, um, you like you. said, uh, you know, they're not in there. fighting like we we haven't come to. blows or anything like that or anything. even close. But what they do is they. challenge each other and someone will.

say, you know, this is what they saw in. the film, and they all look at it a. little bit differently, even the. coaches. But one thing that they do is. they listen to each other. And so they. look at film, they look at the the. stats, and then they talk about it. And. when you have those coaches in the room, those guys devour some tape. I mean, they are looking at film from the minute. we walk out, they they look at games. that people other people don't even know. are being played because they want to. take it all in and make connections that.

they can bring into that room when it. comes time to do uh this ranking. And. so, they're looking at the trenches. They're looking at um how quarterback. play is really important to them. Um, and then they're they're really putting. it out on the table. And one of the. things that I think is most um I think. impressive about this group is that. they're able to put it into context. because it's not always just about the. wins and the losses. It's about how did. they win, how did that lose go, what.

kind of what kind of matchups did you. have throughout the uh throughout the. field, and then how did the coaches. perform in that game and those kinds of. decisions and they bring it all in and. they put it out there. But the most. important thing is that they listen. because they all look at it just a. little bit differently. They all bring. something different to the table and. they listen to each other and then they. incorporate that into how they're going. to vote and how they're going to decide. on these rankings. And and that's the. most important thing when you have. people that are so skilled and so.

capable, but they're humble enough to. listen and hear each other so that they. can make a good decision because they. know how important this is. and uh they. put the time and the effort in. And and. that's one thing that I'll say too, they. put the work in. They watch a lot of. film. They look at a lot of data and. they think through this stuff before. they walk into that room because they. know that everyone's counting on they. counting on each other and the country. is counting on them to get it right when. they do these rankings. >> Yes, we certainly are. And when they put.

that hat on that rack, we need them to. go in there and represent for ball. >> Yeah, we we definitely need that. What a. social experiment you guys are running. in there. What a what a what a what an. interesting social experiment that. you'll never get it right. You never. you'll never be able to get it right in. everybody's eyes. You're definitely. going to be wrong in what 30% of the. people's eyes that are just out there in. the fan base. At least 30% by the end of. this entire thing. So difficult. decision. >> I'd be happy with that. >> Yeah, >> I'd be happy with 30%. That'd be cool. Let's get that. Now, you got to remember. what you hear and what's real vastly.

different. You know, for especially in. the college football world, because some. of these fan bases, I mean, a majority. of the good ones that are in this. conversation, their fan bases are. awesome. It's what makes college. football as great it is. And that. passion that these generations and. generations and generations of fans that. pass down from one to the next, it can. turn a little bit mean, too. Especially. if you're saying you guys don't get to. be in the college football playoff, your. team ain't worth a damn. And there's. also massive financial things that. happen whenever you don't make it to. college football playoff. So, you can.

certainly piss some people off. So, I. like that they're putting in the work. I. like that they're willing to do it. And. I appreciate your leadership style. Now, the boys have some questions about. what's going on in there. AJ will go. first. >> Yeah. Lieutenant General, you mentioned. uh quarterback play. Like the the. committee will take that into account. I. guess as far as injuries, how do they. look at that? Like from a key position, not only quarterbacks, but obviously you. lose an edge rusher, you lose a left. tackle or something. Is that something. the committee takes into account? And I. guess how much weight does that have? >> Yeah, it carries a lot of weight. Uh AJ,

and just for the record, you guys could. call me rich. Uh I'm retired. I. appreciate the respect you're giving. I. really do. Everybody calls me rich. though. And I I like it. It makes me. feel like I'm actually uh retired and in. Okay. Okay. Okay. You got it. So not. Dick though. Not Dick. Dick is not. >> Well, oh man. You know what? When I was. at the Air Force Academy playing, they. called me Dick Clark. >> I like that. >> And my Yeah. My my uh my nickname was. Band Stan. So that was back in the old.

days. Legend. [laughter]. >> I know. I know. >> I know. That's messed up. >> Nick Clark. What an iconic nickname. And. >> never mind. 121 Air Force team, by the. way. Beat Texas. >> What happened? >> 12-1 1985 Air Force team. Beat Texas in. the UH. >> WOW. >> DICK CLARK AND THE BOYS. >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Rank five, I believe, in the AP POLL. >> BAND STANDS LEADING THE BOYS out there. >> Oh, yeah. >> Wow. THEY'LL BE RANKED IN THE CFP right. now. >> Hold on. Air Force. What year? 1985. Yep. >> Oh, he's in the trenches. Football. I.

mean, you were just boom boom boom boom. boom. Yeah. So, it's not just Antonio. and Ma and Randall McDaniel and Wesley. Walls. >> Boom. Boom. I like that. I didn't know. that. B Stan leading the boys to a 12 in. one season. >> Oh, yeah. >> Okay, Rich. We got to we got to take. that into account whenever we're talking. [ __ ] about the decisions that are being. made here. Now, huge ordeal with the. injuries and backup players though at. key positions. That's a real. conversation around a lot of teams, especially down the stretch here as. things get a little uh I don't want to.

say fragile, but injuries start to. happen a little bit more often. >> 100%. And AJ, you brought up a great. question. And it's not just about. quarterback. I mean, it's about. receiver, it's about key lineman. Uh. Randall McDaniel will always he knows. like everybody that's playing on the. line, when they're coming out, when. they're going in, why they're coming out. and going in, and he brings those kinds. of things up uh in the room, but really. uh those key injuries are are important.

to understand not just um how it I'll. say how it impacts a team and how you. rank them, but also how it impacts a. team that's playing them. So, for. example, you may be playing against one. team and they're missing their. quarterback or their quarter. Well, here's here's what I'll do. I'll take. you to a real life example. Something. that Hunter said last week. Um, he was. talking about Alabama's win over. Mississippi State. And he said that when. when Alabama beat Mississippi State,

they had their quarterback. They were at. full strength. When Mississippi State. lost their quarterback, they weren't. quite they haven't been quite the same. team, but Alabama beat them when they. were fullon they were they were rolling. at that time. And so that was a. different team and the room took that. into consideration when they were. considering that win that Alabama had. over Mississippi State. Okay. >> So there's there's a lot of different. ways that you can take uh injuries into. account, but um to AJ's point, it's not.

just the quarterback. It's not just that. key receiver. It's it's what's the full. strength of that team. And we take some. input from the conferences because we. also get conference reports. Um we talk. to the conferences and uh we have. different point people that have. discussions with the conferences and. they fill us in on key injuries so that. we can take those kinds of things into. account in our discussions. >> We appreciate the hell out of you, Rich. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank. you for doing what you do, not only for. CFP, but for the United States of. America in your previous life. You're.

the man. and we hope to catch up soon if. that's okay. >> 100%. I appreciate it's an honor to be. on this with you guys. This is like a. dream come true. So, I'm going to tape. it, get a screenshot of this, frame it, put it in my house somewhere. So, uh but. appreciate what you guys do for college. football. Thank you very much for having. me. >> Hey Rich, thank you man. And we'll send. another request in for you to join us. for sure. And uh we'd be very grateful. then just like we are now. You're the. man, ladies and gentlemen. any day. >> The executive director of the college. football playoff,

>> Rich Clark. >> Yeah, Rich. >> Thank you, Rich. >> Hey. Yeah, listen. I I appreciate what. you guys are doing calling me Lieutenant. General, but like. >> it's really cool just to be Rich. Like I. walk around the office. >> I did that. >> I just say, "Rich, what's up?" And I. said, >> "General Clark, what's up?" Oh, General. Clark. >> I know it's hard. Even when I text him, I I do the entire thing. He has texted. me four different times. Not just call. me Rich. Call. >> Just call me Rich. >> Richie if you want. It's like, all. right, I do I short it down to LT. >> I was definitely going to go band. >> You got to go band. >> Yeah, B stand was leading those boys.

Uh, ladies and gentlemen, >> I have some news. >> Oh, >> the trade parade has walked once again. through Indianapolis. >> What? >> Ladies and gentlemen, we have a trade. being reported by Ian Rapaort. The San. Francisco 49ers are adding Keenan Allen. >> from the Indianapolis Colts brought adds. a guy who can get open on third down. A. man who is surehanded. A man whose.

career with the Indianapolis Colts. certainly had some headlines but wasn't. long enough to ever be really. remembered. Now he will go to the 49ers. NBA in Super Bowl contention. immediately. Kanan, thanks for your. service to Indianapolis. It was quick. It was swift. >> What a run. >> It nothing really good happened. >> Dude, Ed Dots is a nice guy, man. He's. sending these guys great places. >> Well, yeah. The teams that are trading. four players right now are in great. spots.

>> The teams that are getting rid of. players right now are in. >> shite. So, Ed Dodd's being a good guy. >> Got a big pick back though. >> What's that? >> Huge sixth rounder, brother. Okay, >> let's freaking That's actually higher. than I thought it would be. >> What' you think? Undrafted free agent. author. What What did you What? >> You guys signed him in what? Week two. He's on a one-year deal. He's probably. retiring after this year. I mean, >> well, if he wasn't Super Bowl, which he.

thought he was going to do here in. Indianapolis. We brought him in to have. another shorthanded wide receiver. He. has made plays for us this year. We. haven't had a lot of plays, so I have no. idea how he's playing right now. I. couldn't give you a good read uh after. watching him play multiple times. He's. caught the ball every time it seemingly. goes to him and I assume he'll do that. for Brock Perie. We also have some news. out of the trade parade. >> Oh, really? >> Kirk Cousins is the quarterback that the. Minnesota are saying we want that one. >> Okay. >> Kirk Cousins Kevin Oonnell had success.

in the past. So much success that the. Atlanta Falcons gave Kirk Cousins $180. million. That was just a few months. before they would draft Michael Pennix. as the eighth overall pick. It wouldn't. work out there. He would end up as the. Las Vegas Raider starting leading. Fernando Mendoza who was the number one. overall pick. They have had some success. I guess offensively but they've lost a. lot of games. Kurt Cousins now. potentially heading back to Kevin. Oonnell's offense in the middle of a. hopeful Super Bowl push with how good. that defense is. Now you got to get the. Las Vegas Raiders off of Kirk Cousins. being a backup quarterback for Fernando.

Mendoza whenever Fernando Mendoza. finally gets his first start as number. one overall pick for the Raiders. Kirk. Cousins name has been dangled in these. conversations for the Minnesota Vikings. for the last few weeks because of the. relationship between Kirk Cousins and. KOC's offense. KOC had success with. Kirk, a lot of it, which is what led to. Kirk Cousins going to Atlanta. Your. first thoughts here, AJ, as the Las. Vegas Raiders seemingly hold all of the. leverage in this particular negotiation. >> Yes, the Raiders absolutely have all of.

the leverage and I think the Vikings got. to do whatever it takes to get this. thing done. as Dano was saying last. night, like reach for the moon, you. know, call ask about Matthew Stafford, ask like you go to the top and you just. keep going until you get somebody and. Kirk Cousins can still slang it. We know. that. So, I think it would he would fit. beautifully get the ball out of his. hands quick and actually not overthrow. guys by four to six yards, especially. early in the game. I think Kirk uh this. could be a great trade if they make it. happen. >> And Kirk knows the offense, so he can. literally be dropped in there next game. Go ahead, Tone. >> Well, this is best of both worlds. He's.

got his body gurus there first and. foremost. >> Oh, yeah. the two older folks. >> But this is great cuz then the Vikings, you know, they get better and then we. also get to, you know, selfishly see. Fernando for the rest of the season, which is something that I assume. everyone has wanted to see. And now, you. know, it's two teams that for our eyes. visually, me being selfish, we get to. watch and enjoy more. >> Fernando, is this guy going to be a guy? >> Yep. >> Vikings, wow, >> look at that. >> They can do offense and we're expecting. that because Kirk had success with Kevin. O'Connell in the past. They have the.

weapons on the offensive side. Kurt. Cousins with his ability at this moment. with his knowledge of KOC. This would be. a good play for them, which is why we. have talked about it for the last couple. weeks. >> Absolutely. Kurt Cousins a couple years. now removed from that Achilles. He's. playing. >> pretty good football out there in Las. Vegas right now. So, to get him back and. like you said, you get a quarterback at. this point in the season, you don't have. to worry about teaching him the ins and. outs of a playbook. He can get up there. and have full control of the line of. scrimmage. And thank God we can see. Justin Jefferson be good at football. again. Jordan Addison, TJ Hawinson, and. this defense continue to flourish.

because I don't care how good you are, you're not gonna be good if the if your. offense isn't converting third downs. >> We're adding to the trade parade today. on trade deadline day, but they might. give him an actual parade on his way. back into Minnesota if they were to. trade for Kirk Cousins with how they. felt last night after that game. >> They definitely would. They would. welcome him with open arms. It feels. like if you're the Vikings, I'm assuming. their fans would say, "You know what? Give up a first round pick. We don't. care. we just can't watch once again. The other part of it too is you wonder. if the Raiders, you know, it's always. been kind of floated out there since Max. Crosby got traded in the offseason like,

hey, yes, he's back with the Raiders, but you know, he might be a name to. watch at the deadline. And not that. they're punting on the season by any. means if Kurt Cousins get traded, but. you you wonder if teams then call the. Raiders for Max Crosby and somehow you. get another first from from Max, you get. a what, a first or a second or a third. from Kirk. like they might get a good. hall all of a sudden and then still get. Fernando. >> Uh joining us now is junior NFL insider. He does not have a lot of time cuz he's. got big day. >> with big tricks.

>> breaking down all of the big trades. >> Missed it. >> You said play. >> Yeah. >> Oh yeah. >> [ __ ] out of here. >> Saying a little. >> That's some amateur [ __ ] That is. >> that's a small play. >> from from. Okay. >> Okay. >> Sorry. >> Sorry. I just had a tone a. >> Yeah, it was a small tone. >> Yeah, >> small dig. >> Joining us now, junior NFL insider. You. should be bummed out with what happened. there. >> Oh, I am. Trust me.

>> Okay, I'm happy about that cuz we all. got excited as we're all realizing in. real time what was about to happen on. this day. >> cuz it is a big day. >> Yeah. with some big trades. >> Joining us now, what will he say? Junior. NFL insider Ian Raport. >> Yan. >> What's going on? >> We said a couple of the minutes that you. didn't have [laughter]. because of what just happened over. there. We apologize. Kurt Cousins going. to be a Minnesota Vikings uh player in.

the next two hours and 11 minutes or. what? >> Uh it's a possibility. Yeah. I mean, they've they've spent most of the day. calling around on a lot of quarterbacks, a lot of quarterbacks with familiarity. uh to their system to Kevin Oonnell. Obviously, you know, we know we talked. about last night seems like 5 minutes. ago. Uh you know, Cousins and Daniel. Jones were the two most likely with the. Colts. I mean, I know they just traded. Keenan Allen, but I haven't got the. sense they're really willing to trade. almost any of their good young players. Like, I haven't Maybe they trade Daniel.

Jones. I guess anything's possible. I. just haven't got the sense they want to. do it at all. So, Cousins seems more. likely. And if you're the Raiders, you. know Fernando Mendoza is ready. Uh you. can get a real draft pick for Kurt. Cousins, plus get out from the $10. million for next year fully guaranteed. It would make a lot of sense for the. Minnesota Vikings, kind of keep them. upright with a, you know, Super Bowl. caliber defense. >> Yeah. And good for Kirk Cousins. He's. going to get celebrated going back into. that building with everything we saw. last night and for this entire year. You.

say Daniel Jones potentially on the. move. young players though, maybe not. out of Indianapolis. Jonathan Taylor, what is the lean here? Does a deal get. done or not? >> Yeah, it feels really really quiet. I. mean, if you say right now, I'd say I I. would probably lean no. Um, and you. know, there's a lot of activity. There's. a lot of discussion. I just I just don't. see it right now. You know, teams can. revisit trades. You can always go back. and say, "All right, I offered you a two. in this. Now I'll offer, you know, a. little bit more." I just it feels very.

very quiet to me surrounding Jonathan. Taylor kind of leading me to believe uh. that probably he stays. Um which would. be a surprise but if they think he is. someone who can help you know the next. regime whatever it is um maybe that's. worth it to them. >> And he's under contract. So maybe this. era of the Colts doesn't start the same. way as the last era of the Colts with. our best player pissed off for two weeks. in front of a very new Indianapolis.

Colts regime and team and players and. everything like that. If we end up with. no one with no Quinton, no DeForest. Buckner, Keenan Allen is only going to. be one year situation anyways. probably. I'm okay with where we're headed as long. as we have Jonathan Taylor still. >> and Josh D. and Cam Binham in the lads. >> Josh D's going to be a free agent. >> Got to pay him. Yeah. >> Hear you. >> Yeah, we're going to pay him top dollar. >> Wait, he's probably on his last year or. going into his last year.

>> No, no, >> he's on his last year. >> Uh, anybody else? Any other big moves. cooking or percolating at this moment? Rap sheet. Um, I haven't sensed anything imminent. We. got about two hours to go. Obviously, you can't no one can create space. So, anyone you're you're trading for now is. going to be uh, you know, someone with a. low base salary or a team with a bunch. of cap space. I just, you know, there's. a couple teams who've called around. There's a lot of teams who've called. around. 49ers were one at the Broncos.

You got the Bills. You got uh the. Vikings obviously. Um, plenty of teams. have called around. You just don't know. is any big trade going to get right over. the hump? And uh thank god two hours. we'll know. >> Feels like it's always this type of day. Always. >> We get super excited and then it ends up. happening. And uh. >> we've had some good trades over the last. 3 weeks. It just hasn't been in one day. >> Yeah, we're talking about today. We're. we're talking about trade deadline day. We're talking about the trade parade. getting we're talking about right now. But we know right now you got to go get.

prepared for a big day. >> with big trades. breaking down all of. the big trades. >> That's rep. Thank you, man. >> Yeah, repetit sheet. >> I need Raj to force that Kirk Cousins. trade. We usually have, you know, commissions come in and say, "No, you. can't do that.". >> He was in the building, so he saw what. it looked like last night. >> Two ones. He felt it gets done. >> for the good. And what's it take to get. him? >> I don't know. He said good draft pick. there. 10 million bucks for next year. Is that rep said rounder? Maybe a second.

rounder in like something next year. >> Yeah, maybe a two and a four or. something like that. had a two and a. three. There's no way they're giving up. a one for they should ask for I mean. like the the they have all the leverage. >> Yeah. >> Yep. >> I'm going to say three and a six. >> You're going to say a third to a sixth. for. >> three and a five. >> A three and a five. >> I like that one. >> for for a starting quarterback over. there. >> Yeah. >> Second round pick. >> You're picking up next year's deal, too. >> Just one. >> I I think and we've talked about this ad. nauseium once again, so we're repeating. ourselves. We apologize if you've.

listened for a while. We I more. specifically always overshoot what we're. giving good players. Always because I. think and AJ, I don't want to speak for. you, but we've said this before. I've. seen so many draft picks, they're. supposed to be good. Hey, this is two. twos. What if those two twos are both. poo poo, you know, which is definitely. possible. You look at the stats and. analytics, there's a lot more bus than. there are players that go on and make. it. So, if you're getting an actual.

player that is good at football and good. in the NFL, I think I as somebody. special teams guys, more more. specifically here, would definitely. prefer somebody that's good as opposed. to somebody that potentially is good, even though the odds tell us only 28% of. the time this person is going to be. actually good. So, I think I always. overdo what I'm expecting for somebody, but you can get really good players for. seemingly not a lot. And that's just. speaking strictly from an Indianapolis. Colts fan who watched DeForest Buckner.

and Quinton Nelson walk out the door for. a smaller package than just Jeffrey. Simmons. Once again, incredible football. player. One for two ones and a four. That's what I would expect a Jeffrey. Simmons to go for for what he's done for. their team and what's happening to the. Tennessee Titans with his absence time. >> Yeah, I mean it's literally different in. every situation. It kind of seems like. certain teams are willing to just hey, like the Bears, they wanted a Jeffrey. Simmons no matter what. So, it's like, hey, we'll do whatever we got to do to. to get him. And that if that takes two. ones and a four, then sounds good. Whereas, yeah, like Quinton Nelson, we.

talked about that. It's like you. wouldn't think that uh three and a fifth. would be all it takes to get a perennial. AllPro, Pro Bowl, Hall of Fame type guy, but like it literally is. It's different. in every situation. And some teams are. just willing to do more than others. >> Unless somebody wants to go back home. >> True. The Forest Buckner is only worth a. fourth. Jeffrey Simmons two ones and a. four. And whenever I say Jeffrey Simmons. was two ones and a four, I got a lot of. people saying you think the the Forest.

Buckner is worth two ones and a four at. this stage. It's like maybe a three just. a third rounder. Ju maybe maybe a second. or [ __ ] maybe one second rounder if same. position similar stats older coming off. an injury. Two ones and a four for a. guy. Jeffrey Simmons game record. We are. huge fans of him. DeForest Buckner also. that for the Indianapolis Colts whenever. he has played here just a fourth round. pick that's because that's where he. wanted to go. His family told allegedly. you know this is where we want to go. We.

want to go back to San Francisco. It's. like John Lynch knows that too whenever. he's like ah fourthrounder is all we. got. >> That's a nice guy. >> Well and that's what factors in so much. more too is just contract and age. Like. the Bears know they don't have to. negotiate with Jeffrey Simmons at all. He's been paid top dollar. This guy's. going to be here no matter what. Like. that's the biggest thing it feels like. with Quinton Nelson. Like Quinton Nelson. absolutely is worth a first round pick, but Josh Schneider knows on the other. side of it like, "Hey, I got to pay this. guy and I don't know if he actually will. come up to Seattle and enjoy it." Like.

what if Quinton Nelson hates Seattle? >> Bless that demon sold him a lemon. So. >> I saw that tweet. I saw that tweet about. Carly Urs. >> I think Quinton Nelson passed to the. physical, right? I mean, he's just a. baller. It's going to happen out there. Every once in a while you're going to. get injured. He'll be back. Quinton. Nelson's a dog. An absolute beast. But. trade deadline day has been a bit of a. dud here, hasn't it? >> Yeah. >> Hey, [snorts] run that trade parade. graphic one more time cuz we thought. this was going to be like, you know, something where, hey, >> that's good graphic. I guess how many of. these actually happened on trade. deadline day though? We pressed the end.

of that. I remember like Farsavves was. in the offseason. Um, >> was in the off. >> Yeah, Montana. >> Michael. >> Yeah, Michael. Um, >> Devonte. >> Miles just happened. I thought Randy was. >> Randy. R Randy was in season cuz I put a. tweet out about it. Everybody got pretty. >> Russ was off season. Tyreek's off. season. >> The Patriots. >> Yeah. >> That was for a fourth, right? >> Yeah. Mind blood. I put a tweet out. about that and I got summoned. >> Broker. >> It's not me talking about any deals.

>> All right. [laughter]. >> [ __ ] Randy Monster. >> All right. Trade deadline day continues. with big shreds on big day. We'll see. you on the other side. >> We're not going anywhere though. We're. right here. >> Yeah. >> Right here. >> But on ESPN other side. >> Yeah. Big D with Big Shrikes. Is Rap. just going to be on his phone the whole. time. Why is he doing that show today? >> He You should have seen him when he was. in the back. I don't have time. I got. Big D with Big Shrikes and he's sitting. at his house. I don't I don't. >> Wait, the dog was biting. >> What's that? >> Well, I know when certain insiders don't. get put on immediately, they bite.

>> No, I He wasn't. He I was. >> What are you talking about? >> Chef gets pretty excited. >> But Rapshi was in the state of anxiety. on here for sure. Sitting at his house. just staring at his phone. looking at. his camera, I assume, from Big Dave Big. Shranks where they're trying to go over. what he's about to do and he's saying. here and here was a little bit of uh. >> can't get scooped. >> Let's go. Can't get scooped. >> Ed Dods being best friends with Pelisero. has certainly thrown quite a wrench into. all of the trade talks out of.

Indianapolis. I think that's been a. fascinating little development. That's. what they know that. >> Yeah, they didn't. >> Carly's got to be making decisions, right? Like, why would Carly, >> wouldn't she be doing it? >> Like, why is she letting somebody who's. definitely not going to be in the. building and was a part of every. decision that got us to this exact. moment in time that we're in, why is she. letting him do anything? >> Yeah, you would think if she's letting. him make these trades, I would think. she's keeping them around. >> Yeah. I mean, that's a really good. question cuz I presented that day one of.

him being promoted because literally. Ballard and Dods had been presented as. like a duo to me multiple times. Here's. his guy Dods. >> Uh, he's got his guy Dods. >> He's got his guy. Like that is how it. was talked about since the beginning. It's like his guy Dods. So, you fire. Dods's guy. If you're saying his guy, it's probably his guy as well. And then. you're just expecting him to act. completely in good faith for the. Indianapolis Colts going forward. And.

>> yeah, >> he was a part of all the decisions that. you are reversing right now. Is he not. going to have any personal feelings. about any of that? >> I mean, yeah, but he's a professional. He he wants to put his best foot forward. for now just like a player. [ __ ] it. could be whatever, but when I go out. there and play like I want to put on for. the other 31 teams, there's only so many. jobs, opportunities. And then for Carly. in her position, >> yeah, >> you got to start the rebuild because. Quinton's he's going to be an expiring. contract. Downs the forest. So, you have. to have somebody making those decisions.

>> Yeah. >> Yeah. I would rather not be somebody. that's associated with the downfall of. this place. Uh but hey, we. >> What are your options? >> We got a fourth for DeForest Buckner. That That is just. >> I'll just never be able to get over. that. >> They don't have much leverage. They. didn't have a whole lot of leverage. I. guess, huh? >> Kind of comes back to Osama bin Ballard. >> Oh, boy. >> His name's Chris. >> No, I know. I I I would never call him.

that, but that's what he is typically. referred to as on the interwebs. >> And you talk about expiring contracts. >> It's like they don't they didn't have to. be expiring contracts. Quinton Nelson. wanted a deal. >> It would be weird if DS doesn't get. dealt. >> being he is an expiring contract and. everyone else has. >> and he has requested a trade. >> Give him that too. anything. Any pick. someone throws you. >> Get something good for that. >> Well, that's the thing is that's I think. I fear that's how everybody's viewing. the Colts. >> Yeah, >> you just give him anything. He's fine.

>> Tell them we can't give a fifth rounder. And then whenever we offer a sixth for. Kenan Allen, they're going to be like, "Yeah, we got him." And then it's out. the door. Keenan Allen, see you later. Have no idea if Kan Allen's good this. year. I couldn't tell you. He's played. for us for nine games. I I. >> He got the last target. >> Stats came out. I think it was 35. catches, 350 yards, touchdown. >> Every time the ball is thrown to him, he. seemingly catches. That's like Keenan. Allen football. >> Daniel Jones not going to be a Minnesota. Viking, it sounds like.

>> No, >> you never know. >> Healthy wide receivers on a Colts active. 53 right now. Josh Downs requested a. trade about a week ago. Laquan. Treadwell, he did not touch home plate. in a charity softball game. >> No, but he hit bombs. >> Yeah, >> great ath cool shoes. Missed home plate. though. So, how you do anything? how you. do everything. Deion Burks, Ashton. Dolan, and Anthony Gold. Hey, we'll give. you a couple of these guys for a one. You You could have these guys on your. team for maybe two ones. If you're going.

to take all of our wide receivers from. our entire roster, we need at least two. first round picks. >> Laquan Treadwell is a former first round. pick. True. Technically, >> Josh Dons could be a first round pick. >> Dueling just went like 60 to the house. >> Yeah. >> Anthony Gold's got a cool name. like a. really cool name. >> They need [laughter]. >> That's a huge positive. You're right. >> They need. >> I guess it is always, hey, glass half. full. You know, you got to always do. that. >> Well, Jim Mercy actually told me, "Rest.

in peace. Wish you around, brother.". >> Um, I'm sure I'm not the only one that's. saying that. Everybody in that building. is probably thinking that at the same. time. It's not easy uh any of these. decisions. But he said, "Glass isn't. half full, half empty, brother. Get a. smaller glass.". On that note, let's take a break. They should trade Tyler Warren. >> What's that? >> Me that one again. >> The glass isn't half full or half empty, brother. >> You just need to go get a smaller glass. >> Then it's always full.

>> That's what they did with Dods. >> Perspective. >> All right. >> It's always full. >> It's a good one. Like that. >> Dods is not a smaller cup. Chris. Ballard. Okay. >> No, Dods is an ax. I saw him walking in. with [music] that sweatuit. You want to. know why he's wearing a sweatuit? >> Why is that? >> You know, >> like those jeans you tried to buy in. that one wherever you get it. [laughter]. >> Oh, you're talking about the extra.

>> whatever that guy called it. That. cowboy. >> What are those called? Extreme. >> got nuts the size of watermelons. >> That's exactly why he's. >> Mhm. I I'm assuming Carly Ers had to tie. him to a chair because he wanted to. [ __ ] trade everybody so bad. And she. was like, "You can't do it. You can't. give up JT for a fifth. You just can't. do it." D like I [ __ ] need to make. some moves. [laughter]. You You think he was like yearning to. get a. >> trying to get picks, man. Trying to. [ __ ] reset the shoe.

and she's not letting him. >> These are our Colts. This is our team. Dods, >> you trade him. >> Yeah, Dods is trying to bleed blue. Is. he still bringing it? >> I think he gave up. He put a bag over. his head last time. I think. >> Erskin did. >> What? [laughter]. >> Buffalo. Yeah. >> Mr. Kins. >> Yikes.

>> I think he put a horse over his head or. something. >> Oh, yeah. Didn't he perform at halftime. a few times? >> Yeah. >> Fan of the year. >> Super Bowl. Did he really have a. halftime performance in Lucas Oil? >> Yes. >> Like a stage, a mic, everything. >> Yes. Damn. >> Wait, you did this like he said Madonna. mic. He had a Madonna mic out there. >> Flew in from the rafters. >> Yep. >> No, he did not. >> He sang me with me, but I need to. >> My heart will go on. >> He did not. He sang his song. [laughter] after. >> It's unbelievable.

>> How did I miss this? >> Had a Purdue band this last home game. against Cowboys. That was good. >> They're good. >> They were good. They did some like. modern songs. Here's Mr. Erskin actually. updating uh how he feels. This is. October 18th. He said, "Change must. happen, Colts fans. Through and through, no matter what mediocrity is an. unacceptable standard.". >> Mhm. >> You won't lose me cuz I'm going to ride. till the change rebuild will happen. We. know it's time. These are our Colts. This is our team. >> We need to build new. We had a bag of.

reset. >> Sink the shoe, man. Reset the shoe. Reset the shoe. Stinks like poo. Reset the shoe. That is what he's. saying. >> How many home games left this year? >> None. Actually, they cancel all of them. [laughter] They're just doing They're. just doing concerts. >> Actually, coming right up. Got an email. We need to put our food order in for. this Sunday. Miami Dolphins coming to. town. >> They're not even serving free food. >> That's a big one. >> That is a big one.

>> I'm worried because this last. >> flexing that to Monday Night Football. >> surprisingly, no. Well, you had to do. that a couple weeks ago, which we know. people a little late on the whole. flexing thing, which we don't like, but. >> Monday Night Football or prime time game. there as a season ticket holder would be. >> phenomenal. Would be a dream. It's been. years. It's been years since that entire. thing. But I worry because of what this. Lucas Oil Stadium was last weekend. >> That was Cowboys home game. >> Mhm. >> Very much going back in chicken tenders. >> Pricey but tasty chicken tenders back in.

this week. Can't really if you're you. can't really see what's going on. You. know, there's people in front. You can. just hear what's going on in the. stadium. >> Loud pop. Huge pop. Hell yeah. I go, you. know. >> Oh no. >> No. That was Cowboys play. Whoa. >> That sounded like a home game for us. It. sound like we did something good. I was. excited. Like, yeah, we got nine games. left. We can still win 11 games here. Like we still can get this thing rolling. no matter who's here. Is not. Cowboys. fans. Look around. Cowboys fans.

>> Loud. >> Who's doing Chance? Cowboys fans. Are. the Dolphins going to be able to do. that? >> Yeah. Huge traveling fan base, especially this year, >> especially going from Miami to Indie. >> That's a one-way trip, I think. >> Exactly. >> It's one of those destinations for them. >> Get a taste of the cold. >> in November. >> See the foilage. >> relocating. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> That's why Vegas and, you know, LA, Arizona, all those teams, you know, struggle with their home attendance. >> I'm very worried about the attendance to. this weekend's game. >> What time's the game? >> They better start busting in kids from.

Do you want to do. >> I think. >> Do you want to do the halftime? >> You should debut. >> You two is actually doing it. It's. crazy.

It was one of the worst. concerts ever. >> Remember the hits? >> Yeah, I remember. >> Man, the Sphere was sweet. >> Yeah, >> Spear was incredible. We felt like it. was grossly misused that particular. evening, but on Super Bowl week as well.

with a crowd that's probably going to be. in there. But from my understanding, you. two fans told us we didn't get it, which. definitely could be true. So, I. appreciate you two doing a show for. their niche fans Super Bowl week in Las. Vegas in an attraction that everybody's. going to try to go to. Thank you for. doing that. Uh, if they're doing. halftime for the Colts game, they got to. bring it because two weeks ago was. junior cheerleaders, which is kids from. around Indianapolis. My daughter. actually quit. She hated it so bad. She. wasn't able to get a photo and wasn't.

Love Bruno. >> And say no more. >> They did something else. There was. something like very traditional. >> Yeah, it was like some modern songs. though. It It was when you hear that. Yeah, it might have been Journey. Maybe. Bon Joy. >> Back that ass up. >> Thong song. >> Yeah.

>> Yeah. They had somebody standing on top. of the world's biggest drum. >> Silver. >> Mhm. >> Go get that corgi, Adam. >> Come perform. >> I'll tell you what, that corgi elusive. >> Mhm. >> Very elusive. >> That wasn't That wasn't part of the That. wasn't a bit. They were really trying to. get that guy. >> No, you thought that was a work, buddy. >> Yeah. I thought that was the show. >> What? You're telling me that looks like. Look at that. FULL EFFORT. A look at. down on down on the knee. >> I mean, these are a lot of the effort on. these guys is questionable. >> You can't crush them.

>> Yeah. What do you got to gently? >> I understand that. >> But I mean, you got nine of you. Let's. try to like let's try to get a. bad communication. That was a quiet. defense right there. >> Oh. Oh, there it is. >> Jesus. >> I'll tell you what, the corgis corgis. are incredibly stubborn. >> Uh, from my understanding, not mine, but. good runners. You know, they are a uh. hurting animal. Not for this. You. >> tell me Chuck doesn't run like this. >> Oh boy. Uh under his food bowl. >> No. Geez. Food bowl comes to him. You. know that the um.

There was uh Frisbee Dogs at the. Seahawks game halftime. Phenomenal show. >> Those are fun. >> Who else have we seen this year that's. been good? A lot of drone shows. >> We had two uh. >> a lot of drone light shows have been. happening around like colleges. Those. are sick. Oh yeah. >> Chicago Bears. The uh not.

>> Yeah, the it was a mariachi. Yeah, that. was awesome. >> Phenomenal. >> How was the Notre Dame lights? I saw. those. >> unbelievable. Notre Dame's presentation. was really good. >> Utilize full jumbotron. >> Nice. >> Utilize it. Dark everywhere else. Incredible jumbotron. which leads to everything else coming. along. It was It was a really good. environment obviously. I mean at Notre. Dame nailed it for everything. Huge win. for them. >> Huge. >> Huge win. >> Vikings did that well too. >> Yes, they did. >> When they went pitch black,

>> it was sick. >> Stadium was one of the best. >> I was about to say that was probably the. best NFL like I guess fan just overall. experience I think I've experienced for. sure. >> The Viking ship coming in. Yeah. Yeah. And then. >> Could you guys hear Hey, when Adrian. blew on the horn, it didn't sound on the. TV. >> Oh, yeah. Stadium. Loudest blow ever. >> It wasn't loud. >> I couldn't hear it. I It didn't sound at. all. He He was on that thing for like 15. seconds and the sound never came out. At. least on ESPN 2 from what I was. watching. >> We heard that loud noise from the galler.

horn. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> It's a big horn. They got good lights. on. >> Sick. Good clap. >> Yeah, the skull clap. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Their booze were very loud, too, when. they when they were booing. >> How about their cheers for Bromer when. he completed a couple balls? >> Yeah, the Yeah, the uh the sarcastic. cheers never make you feel great. >> Sarcastic. They were still in that game. >> That was not sarcastic. They thought. that Brosmer was going to leave him. back. Lead them back to the. >> hometown kids. >> I thought so, too.

>> We might have been being sarcastic a. little. >> I said, "What a ball by Max Brosmer. He's spinning all over the place in. Dangos." Guys, >> he didn't laugh. guys. I go, "What a. ball." He put it right on him. They're. not playing defense right now. >> They were blitzing him. That's why how. much respect they had for him. Dan. couldn't see it at that point. >> Dan said they're not playing def like. >> he didn't like what we were doing. >> It was Dober was down with Carson even. though he literally said that they need. to call everyone in the league. >> I completely forgot that he was Carson.

Wentz's biggest fan a few years until we. started and he started his [ __ ]. >> He's just warming up. >> I completely forgot that he was like. that. I completely He was the big He had. a garbage bag at one point, right, Gumpy? Didn't he have a garbage bag at. one point? >> He skipped that. Carson skipped that. fouryard pass to Jordan Mason. So he say. he just got to settle in. >> Yeah, he didn't have to settle in. He. [ __ ] stinks, dude. >> He's been in the NFL a long time. He's. played good football at times. >> Yeah,

>> we didn't see any of it last night. Let's take a break. On the other side, we got Dan Lanning joining us. >> Yes, we go. >> Speaking of bad football into good. football. >> I know. >> I mean, they were down and out. looked. bad. New offense coordinator who was. fired from Wyoming last year at the same. position. Dylan Riyola out of Nebraska. plays his best football and they get a. huge win over Ohio State. Now everybody. in Columbus is wondering what the hell's. going on in Oregon might sneak in here. >> They got the roster to do it. Allegedly. >> they got the team.

>> We'll see with the rankings, you know, see how they look tonight. Did you say better or seems like there. was a little bit of a threat there to. Rich Clark and the boys or? >> Uh, no. It just, you know, some of the. things he was mentioning, I I I noticed. it was uh certain teams aren't viewed. that same way. You do this whole spiel. about Mississippi State. You know, Iowa. beats two ranked teams when they're. playing them and then they seem to. [ __ ] forget that. But, you know, Kamario Taylor doesn't play for for. Michigan. You know what I mean?

>> He doesn't. >> Just a two loss Iowa. >> Kyle Whittingham wishes. I don't know if it matters. I don't know. if Kyle Whittingham knows what state. he's in. >> He wouldn't know. >> Boy, last week I said, "I believe in. Kyle Whittingham." And Dez goes, "Do. you?". >> I mean, >> that was his immediate reaction. >> What happened? 20 years of winning. football. >> I don't know. Honestly, >> something's in the water in Ann Arbor. That place stinks. You have to be a. Michigan man to be there. It's the proof. is in the pudding. >> No scandals. Just dog [ __ ] football.

>> Bring back Chiron. >> All right, let's get to a break. [laughter]. Bring him back. >> I don't know if that's ever happened. >> Yeah, probably not. But. >> jeez. >> You know what? We'd like to be a friend. Tell a friend something nice because it. might change. >> What are you up to now? >> Good luck out there, Chiron. I I think. Yeah, >> hanging around. >> He probably feels pretty vindicated. >> Yeah, I'm sure he does. Absolutely. >> About a lot of things. >> That Desmond response. Do you. >> I believe in Kyle Whittingham. You know, we've seen a lot of Do you? It's like,

whoa, that's Desmond Howard saying that. That's a big voice in the Michigan. world. And then you see what happens. after the loss to Michigan State. What? Five field goals for Michigan State gets. the job done against Michigan. Nobody. thought that was going to happen. And. then all the Michigan people came out. and were like, are we done with this. [ __ ] skier from Utah? How is this. what we are? It it it has been mindb. blowing. But to your point about Iowa, Michigan not being good this year, bad. >> But and that's what I'm saying though is. >> Penn State not being good at all. bad.

for Big 10. >> When Iowa played Michigan, they were. ranked like 15th and beat them. >> Iowa good for Big 10. >> Yeah, but I don't think they view it. that way. >> Oregon good for Big 10. >> I agree. >> Downstretch if Oregon's able to win. This is good news for Big 10. >> Even Illinois, like Illinois has turned. it on here towards the end. >> Yeah. Be almost said if we were a three. loss SEC team, we'd probably be in top. 10, but instead we're in the Big 10. And. this is how they view us. UCLA still. undefeated. Good for the Big 10. Northwestern has some wins under their. belt, even though they just lose to you.

guys. in uh magnificent failure fashion. They potentially good for Big 10. Big 10. still has a lot of good even though. >> Yeah, that's that's killing them. It. really is. And I don't I don't think. people really believe in IU. >> No, THEY DON'T. >> HOLY WHAT? [ __ ]. >> OKAY. Trade parade. on this trade deadline day. Legends from.

NFL Pass have been traded from one NFL. team to another. On this particular. trade deadline day, Tom Peliser is. reporting the Titans are trading Ammani. Hooker to the Buffalo Bills. >> Okay, >> Debb Ammani Hooker, good player. Buffalo. Bills always up for the action. Your. thoughts on this move as you're learning. about it in real time. >> Uh very good football player, a. playmaker, a veteran that's been around. a while. Uh I had the sit rep a couple.

weeks ago with Joe Burrow. I believe he. threw five touchdowns, maybe ran in one, but he threw three interceptions that. game. All three of those interceptions. went to Ammani Hooker. Just a big time. playmaker. Can read it. Can help get. guys lined up. So he will definitely. help uh that new look Buffalo Bills. defense. Congratulations to Bean still. being in the battle and in the game. No. matter how many picks he has or no. matter what the situation is, he's going. to be snooping around. I know they have. James Cook and he just had one of the. biggest games he's ever had. I offered.

Bean Jonathan Taylor for three once. >> He did. >> You guys heard that in real time. I. still have yet to get a response. He. kind of just walked away and shued me. off, but who knows what they're cooking. behind the scenes. Bills add another. player after a huge night last night. AJ, your thoughts on what teams and. messages are being sent? Yeah, I mean. obviously the message is, hey, if we. have a chance to win, we're going to go. do whatever we possibly can to shore up. any kind of deficiencies we have. So, yeah, I mean, Monty Hooker, like you. said, he he picks off Joe Burrow a. couple weeks ago three times. He's got. he's got something to him, so I think. he's going to help. >> Good for uh the Buffalo Bills.

>> It's a good get. >> adding another piece to that defense. that played great last night. >> Second and a fifth round pick. >> Okay. Same as Jesse Bates. He's got five. picks this year. >> That when they released CJ GJ the other. day, they thought that the safety move. could be coming. Buddha was the one that. though was speculated there, but yeah, this makes sense. >> Hold on. It's kind of confusing. Yeah, fifth rounder going back. So, second. round pick from the Bills to the Titans. Bills gets Hooker and a fifth. >> Okay, so a second rounder.

>> Second rounder. >> for Ammani and a fifth round. >> Yes. >> Okay, they're cooking out there. Second. round pick after getting two ones and a. four for Jeffrey Simmons. Now they get. another second round pick. Titans are. stockpiling quickly here for a draft. that is just, you know, a few months. away in some fan base's minds. And uh. maybe the change is right around the. bend for a lot of these teams who are. getting great compensation for their. greatest players. A second round pick. for Ammani Hooker. Unbelievable football.

player. >> Okay. All right. >> Happy that this has happened to him and. the Bills. Deorest Buckner was worth a. fourthround pick. Let's get to a break. Fourthrounder, right? Hooker is a second round pick. He's unbelievable football player. I get. it. I love him. Jeffrey Simmons two ones. in a four. The Forest Buckner is worth one fourth. round pick. I I don't It doesn't It.

doesn't have to be about the Forest. Buckner all the time. Okay. I don't. always have to go back to that. I don't. have to do that. I need to stop doing. that actually. >> Okay, >> that scares me. >> What they get up give up to get sauce. last year? >> Two ones. >> Two. >> And. AD Mitchell. >> Mhm. It's a throw in. >> He couldn't catch the ball with us. though. I mean, there was He couldn't. play catch. >> No, he showed flashes. He had the one.

bone head play that after that he just. had to get him, you know. >> Yeah. >> Didn't have to move on from But that was. a bad play. Yeah, it was a bad play. And. I think if it was just that, I I think. everybody would have been okay. >> I think we gave up too early, too soon. >> Who the [ __ ] throwing on the ball, >> man? Dire straits. Tough. >> Still got Jonathan Taylor, though. Maybe. we can trade away the rest of our.

offensive line. >> Got Josh Towns, too. Like what the [ __ ] do we move on for. Quinton Nelson for. >> if we're going to just keep Jonathan? >> You can't really do like a half rebuild. >> Like what are we doing? >> Let's cook, man. He's got a plan. >> More details with Hook or two. He. already been paid so he'll be making. like 13 the next two years. >> What would that be in the safety comps? >> Uh like 12. >> Okay. So, hey, middle of the pack. Yeah. probably the deal that DeForest Buckner.

is going to sign with whatever team he. goes to. Let's get to a break. Trade deadline. day. >> Let's go. >> App is picking up. >> It is picking up. >> You saw the time frame. >> 1 hour and 39 minutes for your team to. make a massive move to either help the. future or to help the now. Will your. team do that? >> I don't think so. I think they're going. to stand pat. Will your team do that?

>> Yes. >> Will your team do that? >> On Big Mike's birthday. >> Yeah. They're going to give him a. present. >> Will your teams do that? >> Uh Bears already have and how he's. cooking for the future. >> Happy birthday, Big Mike. >> Mhm. >> Love you, Big Mike. >> Love you, Mike. >> What are you guys looking for right now? >> Uh you know, I it was a wide receiver, but I don't know if there are any left. out there. Maybe some corner help. Um, we lost one of the better ones in the in. the league. >> You ran him out of town. >> No, but you did that and now he's just.

doing the same [ __ ] down there. But, um, >> I got a text from Luke Holmes. says, "Hey, listen, man. Deorest Buckner. trade probably pretty tough for you.". But, >> we traded away McCaffrey and Burns. and uh, it's [music] still not great, you know, to kind of revisit those. moves. >> So, everybody says Jonathan Taylor, Christian McCaffrey comp. I think. Carolina Panthers fans go like do not do. not agree to that deal. That is not. enough. That is not enough is what I.

think just happened here. So the Colts. are being told by Rap Sheet, Sheffy, and. all these people who are talking to the. other teams that would like to get. Jonathan Taylor. Hey, Christian McCaffrey compensation's. really good trade. And then you listen. to Panthers fans go like, "Yeah, the. [ __ ] right. Do not do that." Especially. with him going to the Niners. And what. do you do the first weekend? Catch a. touchdown, throw a touchdown, and run a. touchdown. literally his first weekend. out there. It's like Panthers fans are. like, "It's not worth whatever. If. you're not getting a one, you need a. couple of those.". >> And that's why I would hope New England. calls him up and gives him a one.

>> for Jonathan Taylor. >> Yeah. >> Let's get to a break. We'll see if. anything happens on the other side. Also, Dan Lanning will be joining us of. the Oregon Ducks. He's coming fresh from. practice, so he'll be in a fiery. mindset. >> Nice. >> Maybe he'll motivate us as we head into. week 10 of the NFL season. Week nine is. done. Let's enjoy every single moment, shall we? CFP rankings, the second one. tonight. We're in the middle of the. greatest time of the year. And also, Thanksgiving's around the corner.

>> Right around the corner. >> Christmas is coming. >> New year. >> Mhm. >> Playoffs. >> Super Bowl. >> LET'S ENJOY it all. Let's take a moment. Breathe it in. >> Let's hold our breath until the other. side. Be a friend. Tell her friends. might change her life. Take five. >> Five. I'm not going to make it. >> No, >> Jack, you got anything to say to the. team here? >> Oh, man. You guys keep crushing and. firing everybody up. It's bigger than.

you guys and you guys are the freaking. best. >> Boom. >> Thank you. >> That's amazing. >> YES. >> GOD DAMN IT. I NEEDED THAT. >> I got back to [ __ ] my life. I felt like. I just throw people through walls. Oh. [ __ ] What's happening? >> [music]. >> What the [ __ ] is this? >> We interrupt your regular programming. [music] with breaking news.

>> We have reports of a UAP approaching. Indianapolis. They have messaged to. officials they are coming to take over. the world. >> Government [music] agencies have been. alerted that they plan to land and. activate Earth's Armageddon switch. >> This is [music] literally the scariest. situation imaginable. a true doomsday. scenario. Please stay calm, seek shelter. immediately, and pray to [music]. whatever god or higher power you believe. in. >> Was that what you landed here? >> I think Indianapolis. What? So that.

can't be. >> We got to go find these [ __ ]. >> Yeah, >> that's what we need to do. >> I think that sounds like something you. should have with Jack Carr yet. >> I don't know. We need to. >> Let's go. Come on. Let's go. All right. >> Yeah. Let's go. Yeah. [ __ ] these pieces of [ __ ].

[ __ ] Let's do this. >> Where are they? >> I don't know. I think they're coming. Looks like they might be coming from. right over here. >> Yeah. Yeah. Looks like I see the [ __ ]. ship. Let's go. They're not going to get. to that button, Jack. >> Nope. They will not get to that button.

Good thing we saw that. newscast when we did. >> Well, that's the that's [music] why they. do the live alert. >> I don't know. Did we know that?

And nobody would. have known about it if it didn't just so. happen to happen right here with all. these cameras. Thank you, Jack Carr. Thank you, Jack Carr. >> Thank you, Jack. >> Thank you, Jack. >> Thanks, guys. >> Thank you, guys. Three-time world saver Jack Carr has. done it again. We're all mind blown that. a global attack always seemingly happens. when Jack Carr comes to the Thunderdome.

>> Hey, >> let's go. >> This show stinks and the fact that you. listen we are very very thankful for. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. >> You pick. stutter. Damn it. >> Tell a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their [music] life. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome back.

to our humble above the draft kings. thunder on this trade deadline [music]. Tuesday November 10th 2026 hour three of. the program begins now. >> Football is the greatest. This man right. here is Ohio State Buckeye legend AJ. Hawk. The toxic tables here at Boston. Connor and at Ty Schmidt. One half OF. THE HAMMER. DON Cowboys AP Tone is here. and nine-year NFL vet Yukon Husky Darius. J. Butler. Good to see you boys. Uh. we're also joined by a Matt who is.

obviously a friend of the program. He. lives in a world far far away. He is the. head coach of the Oregon Ducks football. team, which at one point this season, many of us said, "There are Don and. aunt, they're dunzo. It's over." What. have they done? Battle back, new OC, backup quarterback, resilience. They go. into Columbus and get a massive win over. the Buckeyes. Ladies and gentlemen, with.

everything still in front of him, the. head coach of the Oregon Ducks football. team, Dan Lanny, [applause]. >> Dan, how you doing, brother? >> I'm doing good. You guys good? >> Yeah. How are you doing? You look great. Good haircut. It looks like you just got. shaved up. It looks like literally right. now it just happened. >> Throw back. I just cut it short so I. don't have to cut it again, you know? So. >> smart. Not fresh. >> Yeah. Like a monthly routine. You cut it. real tight, then it gets disgusting. Then we trim it back and then we get. disgusting again. Well, let's talk about.

what this season has been for you guys. Obviously, it doesn't start anywhere. near how you expected, I would assume, how the team expected. What have you. learned about your team this year and. where you stand at this exact moment? >> You know, I think you just said it, resilient, right? We've we've. experienced a lot of adversity, a lot of. things that look different than what we. anticipated when the year started. And. I've always told our team, you want to. be playing your best ball in November. And there was a stretch where, you know, in this last game where that really. showed up, you I mean at one point we're. 35 points. I think we have 228 yards.

basically converting every third down. and, you know, our opponent sitting. there at 47 yards, you know, 0 for three. on fourth and uh one for five on third. Like we really clicked in a moment with. special teams offense and defense. together where we're playing some of our. best ball and I think it shows what. we're capable of. Um so it's good to see. that happen at this point in November. >> Yeah, definitely. as you go down the. stretch, you want to be able to play. your best football. You still have. everything in front of you. Is that your. messaging to your team and I thought uh.

and I think right now this is your best. display of leadership in the world that. we're in right now with the amount of. money they're going to a lot of these. college kids and let alone the money. that's available in the NFL that's. scrolling around your head right there. as you're giving us answers. There's a. lot of kids tapping out of situations. There's a lot of kids deciding like. having agents around them, parents. around them, whoever around them saying, "This is a bad situation. Don't get. yourself hurt. we need to get you into a. transfer portal. A lot of people tapping. out. Your team hasn't done that at all. Can you tell me a little bit about your. locker room and how your messaging has. been this year versus maybe years past.

where everything was kind of going. swimmingly for your team early? >> Yeah, I think I mean you you said it. I. think I've grown the most as a coach. this year, you know, and you you it. doesn't always show up in results. I. think one thing that I've kind of really. helped myself with is what you hear. coach Sabin say all the time is like we. don't control outcomes, but we can. influence outcomes. And uh we got a. bunch of players in that room that uh. don't want to quit. They want to find. ways to add value to themselves and. enhance and then enhance our team. Uh. and that's continued to show up. So we.

just focus on the things that we can. control the intensity we attack the. practice field. I feel like we really. loosened up the last few weeks out there. on the field and in the in the hallway. here where it's like let's play loose. Let's let him hang uh and let's go. attack. >> Okay. Last question for me for the boys. have some uh your offense coordinator. right now was fired by Wyoming because. he couldn't call plays last year. Okay. Dylan Ryola uh whenever we saw him play. for you guys, it looked not good. Offensive coordinator dialing it up. against Matt Patricia Ohio State.

defense. Dylan Ryola playing his best. ball we have ever seen him play in that. same setting. The decision to go with. new OC and let go of last OC and then. knowing that Dylan Riyola is your. quarterback. Can you just tell me a. little bit about how you and the team. have responded and what you've seen here. from the offense since making a massive. move at the coord uh coordinator. position? >> Yeah, I mean we were ready for a spark, right? And I think you look for a spark. almost like that that fake punt in the. game. Like that was a spark for our.

team. It's the same with, you know, a. change at at quarterback. You have to. figure out what do we do well? What what. what really sits well with Dylan. He's. always been a great processor and he. operates unbelievable when he has great. confidence. and he had a lot of. confidence going into that game because. we had presented a lot of different. looks. And as the game went on, he built. more confidence because of what we were. going to be able to how we were going to. be able to attack him. And I think Jay. and the offensive staff have obviously. done an unbelievable job. Sometimes. you're as good a coach as the players. you get to coach. And we have some good. players that you get to coach here. Uh. and Jay's done an outstanding job with.

the talent that we have. >> Yeah, I think everybody sees your roster. and gets excited about what's possible. down the stretch. Good luck there. You. just mentioned something AJ wants to ask. about. Oh, he's muted. Jeez. What? Jeez Louise, AJ, you mute yourself. >> Yeah, you're muted. This is embarrassing. >> This is a bad look. >> I know. It's not good for the program. right now. >> [ __ ] Brutus. >> Oh, maybe because Brutus left the game. earlier. >> Oh, yeah. Did you see you? I don't know. if you saw it, coach. [clears throat].

Brutus left early. You guys made this. the mascot leave early from. >> He wasn't the only one. >> Oh, J. >> IS THAT WHEN HE WAS pointing that. scoreboard? >> Yeah. And that's AJ probably just muted. himself on purpose cuz what he wanted to. say is probably, you know, >> maybe not as hospitable as we would. expect or hope around here. There's a. chance AJ couldn't contain himself with. what happened because the conversations. about Ohio State right now and the. conversations about Oregon. >> Two very, very different convos. happening. Let's continue this Oregon. Duck convo. Darius Butler has a question.

for you, coach. >> Yeah, coach, you got a big battle coming. up with Michigan right now. I guess the. general public are kind of just out on. them. I know their defense is no joke. What are you seeing on film from this. Michigan team and kind of I guess some. keys to victory for you early in the. week? >> Yeah, I think I mean one thing you just. said is their defense is good enough and. and obviously has is good enough to win. a game by themselves in a lot of ways. with the way that they play. And uh I. also just reminded our team like what. kind of spark did we gain when there was. a coordinator change. Like that same. thing is going to happen most likely. with this team. You look around college. football, you know, Maryland just won a.

big game, right? You look Florida State. just won a big game. Like teams that. Oklahoma just made a change of. coordinator. look what they were able to. do, right? So, I think if you look. around college football and there's. change, sometimes that creates uh some. excitement in the program. So, that. change could lead to some su success for. them and we should expect their best. When you look at what they have on the. field, they they have a great roster. They have really good players. Coach. Wood's a good coach. Um so, that it's. going to take our best to compete with. this team. >> Yeah, your best in all three phases. You. mentioned it there. AJ was going to ask.

about it, but he had no sound. Tone. Diggs has a question for you, coach. >> Yeah, coach. Obviously, it feels like. the last couple weeks you've kind of had. a big play that has spurred um you know, great comebacks, if you will, um you. know, down early in the first quarter. and then you dial up just an incredible. fake punt with two of your best. defensive players, two of your best. defensive linemen um in this situation. to kind of spark everything uh on. Saturday. Is that you who dials that up? Is that the special teams coordinator? How does that work and why did you call.

in that situation? We uh it's a team effort and you know we. we created that we've run a fake with a. run you know probably you know my five. years here three times so we thought. people would be dialed up for that same. presentation but now it's a run a little. bit different formation and we felt like. everyone will bite on the run um let's. have a pass off of it. So, we've been. practicing that uh I think since August. 31st. >> and having it ready for when we felt. like, you know, it was needed in a. moment. And I always think, you know, I. don't know your opinion, Pat, as a.

special teams guy, but you don't run. fakes when everybody thinks you're going. to run a fake. You don't do it at fourth. and three at the 50. Like, you do it. there. Now, if it doesn't work, >> idiot. >> Yikes. [laughter] Right. So, you better. have a lot of confidence. So, we've. literally been running that since August. and um figured out what look we like. their best in and then and then. ultimately think players over plays and. there's two phenomenal players touching. the ball there, right? And Tatum Tuyote. and and Matteo. So, it just made a lot. of sense. >> How about a jump throw from an upback? >> Yeah, PP doing that. It's a phenomenal.

call. 143. down 11 in the second quarter on the. road. Calling that is huge gut sack as. you know. Uh, last question for you here. about a massive night tonight. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, coach, the uh, second college. football playoff rankings come out. tonight. I know you guys probably don't. give a [ __ ] about that because you have, you know, stuff you need to take care of. on Saturday, but based on what they did. last week with where UCLA is at. Um, I. don't know if if they really believe in.

Indiana this year, do you think the Big. 10 as a whole is being overlooked this. year because teams like Northwestern. have been so good? a team like UCLA is. kind of taking everyone by surprise. You. guys know how good Illinois uh is. Like, do you think that is part of why the Big. 10 is maybe being a little bit. disrespected this year? >> Tuck, you're not going to mention Iowa. >> Well, I don't mention Iowa. They're, you. know, perennial powerhouse. [laughter]. You know that, coach. >> We'll see. >> Yeah. I mean, I don't think it's any. secret that that uh our conference. probably doesn't get the respect it.

deserves, you know, especially when you. see like week in and week out what's. what's accomplished in this conference. So, uh the results kind of speak for. themselves. I don't get to sit in those. meetings. I mean, I would just. ultimately what I would say is based on. what what we show we're capable of and. how we playing right now, I'm sure a lot. of teams don't want us in in those 12. teams, right? Especially coming down the. stretch. And if it's about having the. best teams in the end, we got to see. who's playing the best football at the. end. And we get an opportunity to go out. here Saturday and show that, you know, and there, you know, I get it. We we. haven't necessarily been sustained.

success all season, but ultimately we're. playing really good football. Well, if. we can keep that trend running, right, this conference can keep that trend. running, then uh they should certainly. consider teams like ourselves, right? And certainly these other Big 10 teams. that we've played to be in that hunt, you know, cuz when teams eval, you look. at Miami last year, they were almost not. in it and then they make it to the. national championship. If it's about. getting the best teams in, you know, I. think that's that's something that. everybody's got to evaluate and this. conference has great football teams and. some great play. >> Yeah. And you're excited to prove what.

this team is. We're all pumped to watch. what your 2026 Oregon Ducks team is at. the end with a lot of football left to. play. We appreciate the hell out of you, coach. >> Always appreciate you, Pat. You guys. have a good one, >> ladies and gentlemen. It's Coach Dan Le. and [applause]. Coach. >> Holy [screaming] hell, IT HAS HAPPENED. The trade parade continues on this trade. deadline day. And ladies and gentlemen, this is the one. This is the big.

Minnesota. move. >> Kurt Cousins has been traded from the. Las Vegas Raiders to the Minnesota. Vikings for a third round pick. Kirk. Cousins, starting quarterback for the. Las Vegas Raiders with Fernando Mendoza. waiting for his opportunity. Fernando. Mendoza, Heisman winner, national. champion, first overall pick in the NFL. draft, has been watching Kirk Cousins be. a professional quarterback, both on the. practice field, in the meeting room, and. also on game days. How does Kirk handle.

himself? How does he dress? Who does he. talk to? How does he talk to? When does. he get ready? How does he get ready? Fernando has been watching and learning. And now the Las Vegas Raiders have. decided that it is Fernando Mendoza's. time to be a Raider and to showcase what. he is as an NFL quarterback verse what. he was at Indiana. And now Kirk Cousins. goes back to an offense that he knows. well. I think he knows the terminology. well. I think he knows the housing. market well. I think he's had his most. success most recently in Minnesota with.

Kevin Oonnell. And they're seemingly one. quarterback away from maybe going on a. Super Bowl run. This feels like a. win-win for both sides. Third round pick. doesn't feel as expensive as we thought. the Raiders could potentially make it. with everybody on earth knowing that the. Minnesota Vikings are looking for a. quarterback. Obviously, Raiders in the. AFC, Minnesota in the NFC, those things. do carry a little bit of weight whenever. decisions are being made, but the. Vikings get a quarterback that hopefully. can be a professional, an NFL caliber.

QB, and maybe something that can. complement a defense that can run uh win. a title. Debut, your thoughts now that. it's officially official. Kurt Cousins. back to the Minnesota Vikings. Good for. football, >> yeah, Kurt has been the ultimate pro on. and off the field. And I think he's. playing better than just about anybody. expected him to play in Las Vegas this. year. So he I expect him to hit the. Minnesota Vikings playing in mid-season. form. And I believe his last game for. the Vikings was in Lambeau Field against. the Packers. And now this is where if he. starts this week, which we assume he.

will, it'll be back in Lambo Field. against the Packers about 3 years later. So, I mean, it's a a great football. story for him and be even greater if he. can get to a late playoff game or maybe. even a Super Bowl with this defense. We. watched it boots on the ground. This. defense was phenomenal against one of. the best quarterbacks in the league with. Josh Allen. If they can get a capable. offense and get those weapons actually. involved, which we expect with Kurt. Cousins and KOC, I mean, this is this is. a great move, not only for Kurt Cousins, but for Kevin O'Connell because I'm sure. it's starting to get real hot around him.

and his name as well. >> Yeah. And Justin Jefferson is doing. pretty big celebration. Same with. Addison and Hawinson and Aaron Jones as. AJ Hawk rejoins us here. AJ Kirk Cousins. back to the Vikings seemingly was a. smart decision from jump whether or not. the Raiders wanted to make the decision. to move to Fernando was seemingly the. big holdup from an outside looking in. perspective. Now that the deal's done, how do you feel about the Vikings? How. do you feel about the Raiders? AJ, >> I think as Debb said, like this is a. win-win for everybody. This one, this is.

one scenario I don't think we talked. about a whole lot before the season. We. like the question was going into the. season. When does Fernando start? Like. does he start week one? Do you hope. Kirk, you know, run till the wheels fall. off for Kirk? But Kirk takes him what? They're four and five. They got four. wins out of him. Kirk plays well. He. gets traded to the Vikings. Like a great. football story for them. And now we get. to see Fernando play. So this is like. the ultimate I feel like where it kind. of works out for everybody and gives. Kirk another chance to to be the the. starter and see if he can make some. magic happen in in Minnesota. And for. the Raiders, they said, "We're going to.

be patient with Fernando. We're not. going to force him in there." I think. they can sleep at night knowing that. Fernando got a lot of time watching Kirk. Cousins be an NFL quarterback and they. get a pick for Kirk as their number one. overall pick gets a chance to play. Maybe handled perfectly. Now granted, more wins going undefeated is what. everybody would say would be perfect. But with a transition into a new. quarterback era with a veteran who is. respected and good at football, this may. be the most smooth outcome it could have. been for the Raiders. >> Yeah. Unbelievable. And Fernando had a.

little time against the Patriots. And. from what we saw in that one drive, like. the team was playing for him. They were. playing hard for him. And I don't know. if Brock Bowers was even playing with. him when he was in. So it'll be. interesting to see how their kind of. tandem turns out to be for the Raiders. But if you're the Vikings, I mean, here. we go. You're 6-2 still. Like the world. is burning today for the Vikings fans up. until right now. Now you got the. quarterback back. 6-2 like we just. mentioned. Still have, you know, everything including the one seed in. front of you if you really go out there.

and win. And right away, huge test, especially with kind of the torn. Achilles with Minnesota now returning. home to fulfill his destiny. >> Yeah. And you're talking about the. Packers. I mean, Ty Schmidt was very. upset with who the Vikings had at. quarterback. Now they get Kirko. Is. there a little regret uh coming from you. with what you wanted to see changes be. made? >> No. No. Cuz I you know I mean [ __ ] I I. wanted to see Carson Wentz playing. quarterback for the Vikings this week. I. mean let's be honest. But I just you. know they had to do this. They didn't. have a choice and it'll be interesting. to see what the line does uh or if it. moves at all because the Packers as of.

right now are three and a half point. favorites at home. But uh it'll be. interesting. you know, I mean, the they. played week one, so I think this is a. very different Packers team than And. also, if you look at what quarterbacks. have done against the Vikings defense, like we remember the collapse and how. bad it was. Jordan Love threw for like. 370 yards and two touchdowns against the. Vikings defense in the that first week. So, this should be this should be a. great uh great test for both sides and. and now yeah, now we'll see like this is. kind of the the Vikings team we can.

envision that could maybe go win a Super. Bowl. And if you're the Packers, you. know, I mean, you have a lot of. familiarity with Kirk Cousins, and they. have to come to Lambo on Sunday. >> Okay. 2:46 Eastern. We're talking about. Kirk Cousins now a member of the. Minnesota Vikings again. Yep. >> Remember the last time he was with the. Vikings in KC. He earned himself 180. million from the Atlanta Falcons. We. have a look at the odds on DraftKings. with one half of the hammer down. Cowboys AP. >> Ty mentioned the three and a half. It. has not moved yet. The division hasn't. really moved yet. I wonder if they're. waiting to see. Uh, I mean, it just.

happened, but I'm wondering if they're. waiting to see if they're going to he's. going to start officially this weekend. Um, I was just looking at the Raiders. schedule, uh, coming up. >> Sure. >> Nando's first two starts will be against. the Seattle Seahawks defense and then. the Denver Broncos defense. So, he's. going to get baptized by fire. I'm very. excited to see what's going to happen. there. And they can't run the ball. So, good luck to him. >> Yeah. Kubiaak's going to have to make. some Fernando uh hand selected, you. know, for him to run his offense. We are. believers in Fernando. >> Oh, yeah. He might struggle here against.

Seattle and Denver like a lot of. quarterbacks probably would. But in the. long run, I believe Fernando will be a. good NFL quarterback for the Raiders. I. think he will win for the Las Vegas. Raiders. And uh I'm excited they're. making this move to Fernando. >> I'm excited, too. And like you said, the. transition is perfect. It's not like you. have a shitty team, a shitty roster. You. got pros on that team. You got a good. coach. You're in a competitive position. maybe not make the playoffs uh this year. because of how you know AFC West and AFC. is, but you're in a competitive. position. You've had a half a season.

training camp all the offseason to watch. Kirk Cousins operate. Brock Bowers is. healthy. He's having an unbelievable. year. So, I like it. I love it. And I'm. going pull a Dan Olowski, too. I nailed. the third round pick. Didn't get the. fifth. So, uh yeah, pop that tweet up, Gumps. No, I'm just joking. [laughter]. Just joking. >> Yeah, Dano did want the cover two to be. talked about on the internet. uh. basically said Carson was about to throw. another interception if they decided to. do what they did and uh that happened. Congrats to Kurt Cousins. Congrats to. the Vikings. Congrats to the Raiders.

Congrats to football fans. >> Yes. >> Six and two team now has a quarterback. that should be on an NFL field at this. stage. AJ. >> Yeah. And I think Debb said earlier as. long as like they can have a capable. offense now. Like no one's expecting. them to go out there and light it up. completely, but like a capable offense. that tends to not turn the ball over and. get some first downs. I believe what. they were 0 0 and8 on third down last or. last night and 0 for two on fourth. So. that's not a great you know way to get. victory. So I think Kirko can can get. this ship going in the right direction. >> H8 they made it to the red zone one time.

and it was Brosmer's last play on fourth. and nine. That was when they cracked. into the red zone for the first time. It. was abysmal. It was. >> disgusting. And I think that's. >> settle in. They need to settle in a. little bit. >> Find a rhythm, man. Need to find a. rhythm with it. >> I like how he just slangs it. All. different arm angles. Whatever's. happening, he doesn't care. >> He'll let that elbow go ahead and get. wherever. Oh, yeah. I don't know a lot. about like quarterback play. I mean, I. was third string, did take snaps. I can. spin it pretty good. So, I I'm not But I. should not be acting like I'm a.

quarterback expert. >> I feel like if you just watch this thing. on any quarterback, you can find other. than Pash Mahomes, if you if you watch. this, you'll know if they can [ __ ]. complete a pass or not. I mean, if this. elbow is all over the place every. different throw, the consistency is. probably not going to be a thing. Like. that, you're just athleting balls there. So, whenever you're a little bit tight, whenever you're a little bit nervous, whenever you're a little bit zaked up. and you're athleting things, you're. either forcing it into the ground, okay, cuz you're shortarming it, or you're.

just pushing it and it's missing. So you. you can kind of tell whether or not. somebody's going to be [ __ ] accurate. just by the way they throw a football. like almost just by okay that guy's. going to be able to throw a football. consistently to the place he wants to. throw it to but if this elbow is moving. a bunch unless they're stone cold. killers like Patrick Mahomes Patrick. Mahomes is athleting it okay so that's a. mentality that you have to have in the. biggest moments I'm just going to. [ __ ] yeah I I'll sling this thing.

that that's not normal okay that's why. most these quarterback backs. fundamentals. We're going through this. If I get the ball back behind my ear, I. line up my shoulder and I flip my hips, the ball is going to go right where I. want it to go. If you're just out there. [ __ ] doing this thing, that's a lot. of in between the ears in real time. emotional stuff. Just athlete. I I don't. know if Carson Wentz should be playing. like that at this stage, but soon as you. saw the first throw go four feet over. somebody's head, you watch his arm, it's. like. >> he should try to throw left-handed. tonight. Yeah, he should just try to He. should just try to throw a left-handed. out there. Once again, we are not.

quarterback gurus, but I I think having. good fundamentals is normally a pretty. big part of being a professional. athlete. And it felt like Carson Wentz. just out there skipping rocks last. night. Literally and figuratively, >> just [ __ ] around. >> Threw a ball off his offensive lineman's. helmet for his first completion. >> That was his best ball of the night. >> Three yard gain. >> Was his best ball. >> That ball when he just. That ball whenever he just threw it. right into the ground. I mean, just. right into the ground. Yeah,

>> perfect. >> Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, senior NFL insider that can tell us a. little bit more about Kirk Cousins, now. a member of the Minnesota Vikings yet. again, uh, from ESPN, Adam Shafty. >> What's going on, >> Shafty quickly? And we know you have a. trade deadline frenzy coming up here in. about 8 minutes or so. Kirk Cousins is a. Minnesota Viking. Uh, we thought maybe. Daniel Jones. There were some other. names. M. Jones kind of drifted into the. conversations. Kurt Cousins was always. going to be the answer. When did the. Raiders decide that they were going to. make this move? Well, I think they had a list of. quarterbacks this morning. They went.

through and they spoke to various. franchises and it feels like the Colts. have been very reticent uh about dealing. players. It seems like they're a little. bit gunshy after some of the criticism. that they got on Quinton Nelson and. Forest Butner. And so Daniel Jones, it. didn't seem like it ever gained much. traction at all. Kurt Cousins seemed to. be the guy that they were locking in on. They checked in on other quarterbacks, but you you could just tell as the day. was going on that the Kirk Cousins. situation was gaining steam and that.

that was tracking to happen. And it has. happened for a 2027 third round draft. pick. Kirk Cousins goes back to. Minnesota. I'm going to guess he plays. Sunday at Green Bay, which by the way, his last appearance as a Viking came at. Lambeau Field when he tore his Achilles. on that same field. And now he goes back. there to play in that same game in that. same stadium. So that has to be a little. bit emotional. Back in Minnesota, emotional. The Raiders obviously move on. from him. That's a little bit emotional.

Fernando Mendoza takes over with Las. Vegas right now. But something had to. get done and that's the quarterback that. the Vikings honed in on today. >> Yeah. Congratulations to the Vikings. getting Kirk Cousins. Uh quickly because. we know we have to go to the trade. deadline frenzy on ESPN. Um, last night. actual try out for Carson Wentz and it. just goes the absolute worst. Like if if. he plays good football last night or. mediocre football last night, is he the. Vikings quarterback for the foreseeable. future? And when did they literally wake. up this morning and go, "Yeah, we're not.

doing it." Or was it an all night affair. last night? >> I mean, you're there. You're w I think. everybody who's watching that game just. as you're watching say this can't go on. You you you can't do this. You can't. play like this. You can't have a defense. that's going out every week playing the. way they are. this cannot be allowed to. continue. It just felt like watching. that it was like a meltdown on offense. that when you have half the season left. and you have a six-2 record that it has. to be addressed right away. And I think.

after the game, like I texted with the. Raiders last night, I'm like, "Have the. Vikings called yet?" And they said, "Not. yet. It's it's early on the West Coast, but as of last night, about 11:30, I. could show you the text. Haven't. called." Well, obviously they go home, they sleep on it, they think, "Oh, what. are we doing?" Well, Kurt Cousins is an. option. Let's see if we can get this. done. And they do get it done. >> They wake up and say, "What are we. doing?" Anything but what we did last. night. I I do not. >> care. Can't have it. >> Yeah, agreed. None of us can. Football.

fans can't take it. We'll watch you in a. matter of moments on ESPN on this trade. deadline frenzy. We appreciate you, Chefy. >> Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate it. >> Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Chef. >> All right. Since the last hour is. normally when everything cooks, we are. going to tune in to ESPN as well. I. believe it is an NFL Live special where. they're doing a trade deadline frenzy. Uh the numbers tell us there's about to. be a lot of actions because everybody's. settling into who's available, who's not. available, what does the market look. like, who's potentially still available.

Teams who might have guys that they. thought they were going to trade. elsewhere might reach out and say, "Hey, we are okay with moving on. Do you want. this?" There's a lot that can happen. We. will follow along and then we'll be back. tomorrow with another beautiful Walt. Wednesday. I know the coach is scared. right now, but right now, do you think. we log on tomorrow? JT's traded. >> Yes, >> we've had multiple insiders tell us the. Colts are really scared to do anything. right now.

>> just cuz they don't want to look bad. because they've already gotten rid of so. many people. >> Gunshy, they threw Dodd's phone out. I. do wonder I do wonder if they are. wondering if Ed Dods is potentially. operating at or do they have any. leverage at all when everybody knows. that Ed Dods is not going to be there? You know, >> he's honeypot in the team. Is that what. you're [laughter] saying? >> It's like. >> big right now. >> I think Carly, >> it is big. >> Yeah. Everywhere. I've heard it. Carly. probably needs to do.

>> press conference, >> the negotiations. Yeah, >> she's probably the one that's going to. have to do it. Yeah, like that. Like. >> I was very. >> suspect of Ed Dods handling the future. of the Indianapolis Colts being a part. of the present and the past that has got. us to this particular point. And I. wonder if other teams too are like, "Dots, you don't give a [ __ ] Come on.". >> Yeah, you're right. What do you What do. you need? Take it.

>> I mean, hopefully they're not trying to. work him. Hey, we'll we'll bring you you. take care of us, you know. You know, once you get like loose, we'll give you. like assistant GM. >> He's a professional. He wears sweats. with terrible shirts to things whenever. he's announced as basically the face of. an organization. But everybody says he's. good guy, good at his job. We'll find. out. Got about an hour or so. Good luck. out there. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change their. life. We're in this thing together. Let's never forget that. >> Unless you're not on my team anymore. because you get traded. Then you're on. their team, not on my team. >> Get some [ __ ] action here,

>> please. >> Please. We're going to turn into tune in. to ESPN for this. It should be a. >> Thank god the Vikings got a quarter. >> I would say yeah, we. >> that was I mean that's the that's big. one. >> Yep. >> Huge starting quarterback. >> Agreed. >> Super Bowl caliber def. >> One of the better safeties in the. league. >> That might be a Super Bowl altering. move. >> Yeah. Best division of football right. now. That was the one team without a. quarterback. >> Wow. The Vikings might be the best team. in the NFC North. Now that I think about. it, >> they might be the worst team in the NFC. North, too. >> Still, they do still have the same play.

color. We thank you. for letting us do this. Last night was. really cool. >> Oh, yeah. >> Appreciate you all. >> Appreciate you. >> Tony, great having Tony call. >> Shout out Romo. Yeah, >> good touch. Yeah, that was great. >> I heard that caused quite a buzz. >> Oh, >> Tony was awesome. >> Yeah, he was. >> Always is. >> Shout out to Randy. >> and Tony. >> and Rappy. >> and [clears throat] Chucky. >> See you guys tomorrow. You're the best.

We love you. Team on me. Team on three. >> Trade parade, baby. >> Hell yeah. >> One, two, three. Team.
