You make me watch my hands up. My heels. up all again now.

USA, USA,

Come on in. Oh my god. A. up. A.

The following program is a collection of.

students talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words. because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. >> Hey, what?

>> Let's go. This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. the line with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers, you. stop. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. sport. Hello beautiful people and. welcome to our humble abode the thunder.

gnome on this BA day Tuesday November. 25th 2025 this sports program begins now. >> football. is magical that ladies and gentlemen is. a man who coached football for 47 years. that's our coach coach. >> Ba. the Super Bowl champ here the toxic. tables here at Boston Connor and at Tai. Schmidt nine-year NFL vet host of. everything DB Good D bad D and the NFL. matchup show which you can see on ESPNo. Dar Street Bowler and live from Hammer.

is AP Tone. Now Tone, I have a question. for you pal cuz last night's Monday. Night Football matchup featured two. teams in the NFC. One that was kind of. on their way potentially about to lead. the NFC South and the Carolina Panthers. And the other was a team that we've seen. in the Super Bowl. A team that we expect. to be great, who's had tough injuries, obviously at a lot of key positions, but. with Brock Perie back kind of doing. their thing, there was a chance that. people would think, hey, maybe the. Niners are going to kill the Carolina. Panthers. Then this morning, I woke up,

saw a tweet from before the game. ESPN. bet. >> still a thing. Yeah, right. Still still. happening. Less than a week, by the way. Still happening. Still still a thing. They put out a tweet that was like 70%. of the bets were on the Carolina. Panthers to beat the San Francisco. 49ers. And I, as somebody yesterday who. picked Carolina Panthers plus 7 and a. half, had no idea that people were. actually thinking the Carolina Panthers. are going to win. If I would have known. that particular stat from any of the. sports books, I think I would have won a. different way. Instead, Carolina. Panthers defense does everything they.

possibly can. Okay, Brock Party has. three interceptions early in that game. The Carolina offense just wasn't able to. really get anything done. And Bryce had. a couple of his own turnovers in. entirety. And then inevitably in the. end, Christian McCaffrey continues to be. Christian McCaffrey. George KD has a. massive game. And the San Francisco. 49ers not only win, but cover on Monday. Night Football. And now the Carolina. Panthers questions are going to. continue. IS BRYCE A GUY? IS BRYCE not a. guy? Can Bryce win? Can he not win? Are. they a team that's sustainable for. success? What are they? And how does he. throw that pick? Does he not know the. corner literally sitting there on first.

and goal? We can't be giving that away. The San Francisco 49ers. I think we're. pumped about what coach Salah being back. with the Niners. He looked happy. Yeah, >> remember we saw him at the Jets. He lost. his soul. Now he's back out there having. the time of his life. Brandt Ber, special teams coordinator. He was with. the Jets for a long time as well. He's. smiling on the sideline. Obviously. Shanahan has Brock doing his thing. But. there was a conversation about the. Panthers maybe being for real. And we. thought last night they were going to be. able to SAY THAT. TONE, WHY DID I NOT. KNOW THAT allegedly 70% of the people.

were picking the Carolina Panther? WAS. THIS REAL? WHAT WAS THIS? >> I I did some research. So yesterday on. our graphics or whatever, we had 62 61%. of the bets on the San Francisco 49ers. because that's where we got our. information from. I went I double. checked that information. Uh 57% of the. bets were on the San Francisco 49ers at. the time of the game based on our. information. I checked a couple other. places around 54 55% on the San. Francisco 49ers at the time of the game.

I went and I reached out to some people. So there are 10 people still using ESPN. bet. Seven of them are some a group of. friends out of Carolina. They said, "You. know what? Panthers tonight. That's our. that's tonight $150,000.". >> So So a group of friends in Carolina put. on the Panthers last night on ESPN bet. Three other people just random people. still using it uh who are just living in. the dark uh went on the on the Niners. So that 70%. on ESPN bet was true. There's just only. 10 people still using it. So it was like.

not a lot of information. >> still. You said I think that was kind of. the problem for the entirety of it all. But ESPN put putting that stat out this. morning was a little alarming to me. because if I would have known that was. the case I' been like okay we're. guaranteeing that the Niners win. Now. obviously there's other stats coming out. to saying the Niners were getting a. majority of the bets which makes sense. >> Debut your takeaway from last night's. game. Brock has obviously a terrible. start. I mean there was a couple that. were just not good at all. Obviously if. the Carolina Panthers are going to beat. the Niners you're going to have to turn. the ball over. Like that is what you're. going to have to do. They did that. never really able to take advantage of.

it. This Niners defense, even without. Warner and Bosa, two of their highest. paid, maybe best players in all of. football, they seemingly are still able. to be very stout defense. What's your. takeaway about the Niners and can they. go on a run without Warner and Bosa uh. in its entirety? >> I think they can go on a run. I'm a. little concerned about Brock Pury. I. don't know. It seems like since coming. back and he never had the strongest. arms, I don't really see the juice in. the arm or in his ball. That second. interception, JC Holm, was pretty. terrible. The first one I think was a. great play by JC. Um, so kind of. concerned about that, but uh, this game.

kind of stunk for a while. Was some. great defensive plays, some ball hawks, but I was one star and that was. Christian McCaffrey. Like I like what. he's doing this year, what he's doing. for the San San Francisco 49ers. 31. touches last night, over 140 total. yards, you know, now leading the league. and and carries in in receptions, which. is unbelievable. Unreal stats. So, he. was the one kind of shining star in this. night. T-Mac, he had a nice touchdown. late in the game where you thought it. could be a game, but I wanted to see. more from Bryce. Wanted to see more from. Brock and his offense. But CMAC and then.

George KD obviously being being and. doing what George KD does, he was great. as well. So, it wasn't a great game, but. a big time win at the end of the day for. the San Francisco 49ers to move to eight. and four now. >> Yeah, great uh win for them. Obviously, everything about Christian McCaffrey. special. You can go through his, you. know, family heritage. you know his dad. uh professional athlete, mom. professional athlete, I believe grandma, grandpa professional athlete, I believe. uncles professional athlete, I believe. uh great uncles and great aunts, Olympians. Whenever you talk about like. a human being created in a lab,

>> Christian McAffrey is one of those guys. and has been since he's gotten into the. league, since he got to Stanford. Three-year player at Stanford. They were. watching talking about his stats. He. went to high school in Colorado. They. did the years and then we saw him at. Stanford and think he looks the exact. same. His body looks the exact same. was. running the same exact way. Three years. at Stanford, obviously comes out, then. he goes Carolina Panthers, then now he's. over at San Francisco 49ers. Soon as he. gets traded from the Carolina Panthers, and we didn't talk about it being a. revenge game against Carolina Panthers, >> which I don't know if he has any heat. with them or not, but.

>> he's probably pretty happy to get out of. there. >> Well, and then as soon as he goes to San. Fran, they make him the focal point of. the offense and not just the focal point. of the offense. He was throwing. touchdowns, running touchdowns, and. catching touchdowns as soon as he got to. the San Francisco 49ers. So, you're. talking about a perfect match. Now, we're seeing him healthy. What do you. think of the San Francisco 49ers team BA. and Brock Party's turnovers? There's a. bunch of Hembo stats here now with. interceptions. Uh Hembo put up a couple. of stats together and a couple graphics. together. Basically, the NFL's average. of interceptions is blue line. It's kind. of going down as the season goes. Yeah.

Or as the years go on. Brock Pury 2024. last year, he saw he wanted to turn ball. more than anybody else. His going. directly up if you see that. And then. there's another stat about his seven. interceptions that he has here. Brock. party has thrown seven interceptions on. 131 attempts this season. the average of. which has traveled 19.3 yards down the. field. So, is it inaccuracy? Is it tough. decisions? And what do you think about. the Niners going forward and maybe. getting Brock back on path? >> Yeah, I I think I think Kev Kyle. Shanahan's doing a great job, especially. Robin Solo with the defense. They call. him the young Niners now cuz nobody.

knows any names. They're all new guys. and uh you know to lose that many star. players and still be up there. That's. that's fantastic coaching job. I have. big concerns with Brock Pury. Uh he does. not have the strongest arm and as you. see those interceptions at the 19 level. because he's got that little bloop ball. and corners undercut him last night a. couple they had to be super accurate and. lead his guys all the he has to be he's. in anticipation throwing. >> he's not I'm not saying stronger.

>> that was the style of throw that Payton. had throwing that thing early before a. guy turns around he's throwing to a spot. and they have repped that I mean I I got. a chance during the lockout to go watch. uh some of the workouts that were. happening at different like universities. that Payton was putting together and. watching these wide receivers run the. same route 50 straight times like hey. we're going to do this 50 times a and. we're not just talking about receiver. we're talking like Reggie Wayne also. we're talking about the goats hey we. need to be on the same exact page here. that's why sometimes if they were able. to get the wide receiver. >> rerout it.

>> yeah a little bit mess up everything but. that was what Pton did for his entire. career like Pton's going to throw it to. an exact spot and that guy's going to. get there it's precision it's. anticipation and it's also repping and. repping and repping. Do we think that. maybe part of the injury maybe not as. much reps with his guys or do you think. he's off in his delivery of the. anticipation balls? >> I I think both. Yeah, the injury the toe. does affect you. But again, I'm going. back to that arm and these aren't the. same receivers he's been playing with. the last couple years. You know, this is. a different crew and Pearson.

>> Dennings, those guys are different than. >> Aayuk and Debo and those guys. So, I. think they're asking more of him down. the field and that can be dangerous. I I. hope Brock's able to figure it out. because it was just a week ago where we. were like, "Wait a minute. >> Brock Party's all the way back.". >> Yeah. >> Then he runs in this Carolina Panthers. defense, which I don't think anybody. gives any credit to. Once again, we were. kind of saying that all day yesterday. It's like, "Hey, I feel like we've. covered this team a little bit closer. because we've actually had a little bit. of heat with this team because the way. we've talked about them over the past. They're different than they were just a. year ago. They're different than they. were two years ago. And then last night,

it appeared as if the defense was. ready.". >> Yeah. >> Defense was ready for the moment. Offense not as much. Is that just. running into a tough San Francisco young. Niners defense, you think, hon? >> It just doesn't make any sense. Rico. Daell has kind of been their kind of. bellcow these last few weeks and he gets. six carries. I mean, I don't know what. the hell we're doing. It's kind of. reminded me of when Ginty had two. carries going up against the Denver. Broncos and they started the second half. the Carolina Panthers and right away D. rips off a 15-yd run. So, that didn't. make any sense whatsoever to me. I mean, we talked about how important it is for. quarterbacks to have a running game. A.

quarterback like Bryce Young who kind of. needs that play action. Granted, he has. a play action on the goal line, can run. the ball in, basically walk it in and. decides to just. >> goal here, man. >> Insane. Just just ridiculous. So, I. don't know what what the hell Carolina. was doing, but personally, I have a lot. more respect for Carolina. You tell me. before the season starts that they go. into San Fran in prime time and only. lose 20 to9. Yeah, I mean, that's kind. of a victory as far as looking at. Carolina as a whole, but yeah, the. Niners defense are still still flying. around. >> Panthers being 500, too. I I mean, they.

were one game. If they win that game, they take the lead in the NFC South. Like, nobody would have expected that. out of this Carolina Panthers team. I. expected more out of them last night, though. I I think I I expected more out. of the Carolina Panthers just because I. was excited for them. I assume Panthers. fans. And uh what's his name on the mic? Uh. >> oh, shoot. >> About 150,000. >> Um he's awesome. I'm happy. >> He got a little Bojangles check, too. >> Y. >> which I respect. And also did a. Bojangles commercial. >> and it wasn't corny. Nobody like didn't.

say this guy jumps short. He like got. real views out of that. So hopefully. Bojangles will give him another bag cuz. we need maybe they give him another. 150,000. >> You know, maybe they give him so he can. buy season tickets, you know, and make. sure he get himself a car and all the. maybe buy the Carolina Panthers. I mean. that's what he needs especially with the. ability to turn it up. But I think. >> Sir Purr. is the mascot. Yeah. Luke Combmes also a. mascot for the Carolina Panthers. He was. on uh with the Mannings last night. having a good time. I mean they were. they were having a blast. We all were. thinking that the Carolina were gonna. Panthers are going to have a good night. Instead, the San Francisco 49ers go back.

to exactly what we thought they could. be. Christian McCaffrey tears it up. George KD has a massive night and the. defense with Bob Solless flying around. Congrats to the Niners getting a huge. win. We're very pumped for them going. forward. Can they win the Super Bowl? >> I do not believe so. >> Can they win the Super Bowl? >> No. >> Can they win the Super Bowl? >> No. >> Can they win the Super Bowl? I'll say. yes then. >> Let's go to HAMMER DOT DOT. CAN the San. Francisco 49ers win the Super Bowl?

>> Absolutely not. >> Lot of negativity on this Tuesday after. make us do that. I mean what we don't. just. fault and that's your fault. >> Got to be honest. >> And your fault. I like where your head's. at. >> Why not? >> Why not? >> I mean. not. >> I mean if you asked me if they could win. their division, I'd say absolutely not. But if they can win the Super Bowl, hell. yeah. >> Yeah. cuz now we're putting them. directly against the Rams, which would. certainly be in the conversation of can. they win the Super Bowl cuz literally. yesterday we were saying who's league. Rams league. And then Brock throws three.

interceptions and then the next day. we're supposed to say, "Yeah, yeah, they. can still do it against and that's the. Panthers defense. Panthers defense good. >> Rams defense might be a little bit. better. We shall see down the stretch.". >> We're seeing, you know, we're seeing. Nick Bos up in the suite. Fred Warner. still on crutches. Like when you like. we've seen them lose Super Bowls with. those guys on the field. So, you know, I. can't see them. >> I mean, it's crazy they even have eight. wins with those guys off the field. Like. legitimately, it's insane. They're still. eight and four and not six and six or. even worse. >> Yeah. I'm thankful this isn't a San. Francisco 49er season where they just. kind of punt on the year, which has.

happened with them over the years for. whether it's an injury or just not. playing well or injuries. So, this year. feels like they're in it. I believe in. him still. I believe in Brock, too. He's. just getting back. Let's never ever. forget it. And maybe if Matt Jones has. to step in there, he'll be able to do. his thing. You know, we've had a couple. different situations pop up here during. this season that we haven't liked. Okay. We've had guys haw to it in some of his. face. Gross. >> We all agreed that nope, this cannot. become a thing. And it kind of has. This. has kind of become a thing more than. we've seen. Jamar Chase obviously.

apologizes to everybody except for. Jaylen Ramsay and his apology he puts. out yesterday. Nobody was very. appreciative of that, but he put out an. apology to the Steelers, to the fans, to. his fans, to the Bengals fans, everybody. but Jaylen, basically. And I like that. That's Jaylen Ramsey football. I think. anytime he comes into a division, there's going to be some wide receiver. he's going to get after. Nobody's happy. with Jamar Chase's apology. Nobody's. happy that Jamar Chase is spitting in. people's face either because that's a. big time conversation. We had a college. kid this past weekend at Colorado State. quarterback. He's a quarterback from.

Colorado State. Gets blocked and he. spits in somebody's face and then he. runs like a coward. Okay. I mean, that. is Yep. And then. he gets out of there obviously. So, we. would like to put an end and be on the. side of like, hey, can't be spitting. each other's face. >> Nope. >> That's a guaranteed fight. What we did. not expect. >> was there be some dong punching. >> We did not expect a big time dick punch. We did not expect a left hand to the kit. in the middle of prime time football.

Four plays left in the game, two plays. before the kneel down. This thing is. about all she wrote. Mory, who was the. NFC player of the week in week nine. against the Green Bay Packers, an. absolute stud of a player for the. Carolina Panthers safety, PUNCHES JAWAN. JENNINGS RIGHT IN THE PENIS. I MEAN, WE. WATCH IT IN SLOW MOTION, multiple. different angles. There is a. conversation. I think he was trying to. hit him in the gut. I think he was. trying Well, it was below the belt for. sure. And the side angle that you see,

it's hard not to think that somebody. that's as athletic as he as he wasn't. trying to punch that guy right in the. balls. Now, I grew up in the generation. of ball tagging and ball tapping. If you. were to be taking a photo in our era, in. our generation, there's a chance that. right before that thing happened, somebody boom right to the So, I'm not. saying that I have not potentially. bag tagged a guy. On that note, it's. never been vicious. It never been a. fight. It's always been ha, you know, I'm not the only one. >> Dong shots and spits in the face. What.

are our thoughts on where the current. state of what is happening on the field. is? And Dut, what do you think about. this exchange with Jawan and Mory? >> I mean, I can't have it. They had a lot. of heat kind of during the the fourth. quarter in the fourth quarter even on. that play. We got I think we have the. wide copy all 22 shot of what happened. on that play. So, Jawan Jennings kind of. comes in late and hits Morg in the back. If this is No, this is the other play. where Mor knocks him out. He kind of. tries to leg whip him. So they got the. heat, but actually a play before that he.

comes in and hits him in the back. So. which is kind of you can say a cheap. shot. Absolutely. You're standing around. a power receiver comes and hits you from. behind while you're not paying. attention. Yeah, you may get him a. little bit. That is a couple notches. lower than a spit in the face to me. Like you can never have the spitting in. the face I think all. >> had a cast on his hand. >> He's got it cast. So that's a little. extra hard. the the the dick punching. that happens a little bit more, but this. right here, all of it is Bush League. I. hate that it's kind of coming back. I. don't know what what's happening with. this generation, but this has never been.

a thing. B, I know you coached for 47. years. You could probably count on one. hand how many times you had to deal. with, you know, somebody spitting in. somebody's face. >> I don't think I ever did coaching. I. mean, in in my day, going back when I. was a kid, you know, that didn't just. didn't happen. The rest of that stuff. just let's go fight. But but this stuff. has gotten totally out of hand. Sportsmanship has taken it to a whole. new low level. >> I think so. Like I genu now Morgan we. think is a great player and Jawan. Jennings if you watch literally from the. first snap do.

>> I think in until now like the energy is. different. I mean he scores that. touchdown has he does a gritty with a. gear shift and it was an incredible. innovation to the gritty that I have not. seen. I thought it was actually pretty. spectacular. But Jawan Jennings is a guy. who's going to hit. He's going to be. around a plow. He's going to block. He's. like a perfect San Francisco 49ers wide. receiver. And his energy especially I. mean look. I mean it is uh it was actually a pretty. nasty but his energy throughout the. entire night is obviously one that would. get under people's skin. Morgan. incredible player in prime time boys. We.

can't be punching each other in the. dicks. That just can't be happening. If. it's a one:00 game and there's 13. different games on. >> let it fly. We're not going to be. talking about. >> we got this cannot become what football. is now the the game that is starting to. become obviously we are a game of. integrity. We are a game of competitive. stamina. We are a game of moxy. We are a. game of talent and skill. But what some. people are starting to say seeing a lot. of spitting faces and balls punching. over there in football. It's like whoa. whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. That's. happening in your sport too. But we need. to we need to stop that in our sport. I.

don't think that become a thing. But the. heat of the moment, obviously guys get. pretty excited, especially with Jan Mo, and there's been big- time shots all. game. Your team's about to lose by 11. This game's about over. One more final. >> to hell with this guy. We just need to. get that thing in his stomach. We need. to make sure that that is not in the uh. the kit and kaboodleoodle. >> Yeah. And when you see the reaction from. Jennings, you knew something like that. had to happen before that that led to. him reacting like that. And a lot of. people who probably haven't been between. the lines be like, "Oh, it's a violent. game. It's a barbaric sport. things like.

this probably always have. You always. hear the stories about what happens on. the bottom of piles and with. fumbles, but like the dig punching, the. spitting, all the even like cut blocks, like wide receivers, DBs, if we're 30. yards away from the play, like don't. don't cut block me. Like I'm I'm. dropping my elbow in the back of your. neck. Like if you like it's just certain. things where you don't cross the line, you're not trying to intentionally hurt. other players, professionals, their. livelihood. Um, so I mean I get Jennings. reaction, but with the block that came. before the punch, I also kind of.

understand Morg a little bit too. >> Yeah, I mean there's certainly a little. bit of heat. Okay, let's just make sure. we go on and continue to have a great. season and let's just uh make sure if. we're casted up, we're punching in the. in the in the helmet. >> Okay, >> or the shoulder pads or let's just wait. till afterwards, boys. We'll see each. other in a tunnel. Let's just go ahead. and make a circle like it's hockey and. do your thing. But we love that the game. is in a place that it is. We just can't. be doing the Okay. And I was a. punter, so I don't need to be speaking. for anybody, but I will say as avid fan.

of the league, spitting in the face is. just not something we could have. Like, and then dick punching cannot just. become a normal thing. Like, cuz you're. seeing this Colorado State kid and there. was another college kid earlier. It's. like, do you think they naturally do. that if it wasn't for Jaylen or. something? I was like, no. Everything. kind of falls in line with what the NFL. is doing. We have to understand that. I. think the NFL understands that. This. dude spitting and then running for his. life afterwards. is like but uh. >> last that ain't football. >> Don't do that. Don't. >> he's once again in the moment. >> Obviously that's not even like a dirty.

hit or he's just he's like if he. depletes that guy and he's not looking. Okay, sure it's still not acceptable but. like that's that's as bush league as it. comes. It's like what a guy can't block. you so you're going to spit in his face. That's Well, and then Josh. Allen said it during his uh jersey. retirement in Wyoming. Something about. it sucks to suck. Thank god I'm not a. CSU Ram or something. And this guy does. that on that same weekend. It's like, yeah, I agree. I'll tell you what, count. me out as a CSU person. I'm out on their. entire team. And uh not that I was ever.

in, but that type of stuff is kind of. how it goes. I don't like what they're. saying about Josh Allen. >> Not at all. It's messed up. And I am a. Patriots fan and I would be the one to. pile on with the Haley Steinfeld, whatever the hell her name is, her fans. But what they're doing to him on the. internet is uncalled for. Cuz if he's. ugly, what the hell am I? And I can't. live in a world where Josh Allen is. being called bad mean things by these. fans where they don't know anything. about you. >> Josh Allen's a sweet boy. >> He's he's a nice guy. He comes on the.

show all the time and he says nice. stuff. He's also a funny guy. He had the. whole Subway thing and and and the. passcode of the subway thing was 9696. because 6969 was too obvious. THAT'S. AWESOME. WHY WHY ARE THESE FANS hate. these these PEOPLE HIS HIS WIFE'S FANS. DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT Josh Allen. They can't just BE RUNNING THEIR BUMING. THEIR GUMS ABOUT HIM. >> AND WE need to start checking where. these accounts are from. >> Yeah, we do. >> Yeah, we need to start checking where. these accounts are from. I think we're. able to do that now. We would like to. let the Haley Steinfeld fans know.

>> that we are a fan of Haley Steinfeld. Now, >> I do not necessarily understand. everything that she's been a part of. I. wish I did know more about her cuz she. is now a part of the football family. She's married to our MVP. But you guys. need to know he's a good one. >> Oh yeah. >> Hey, Josh is a good This is a good This. is a good one. 65 laser rocket arm. >> Hold the door for you. >> all the time. Cowboy rancher out there. They're saying some other things about. him is like, has that been confirmed or.

is it maybe the other way? Like, uh, >> yeah. Yeah. So, >> community note. >> Yeah. They're We need the. >> I'm in the dark here. I don't know. >> They're calling him ugly. >> I don't know what's GOING ON. >> THEY'RE CALLING HIM A BAD GUY AND UGLY. THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. >> THAT'S. >> I READ A tweet had a lot of views. 6. million views. >> Real views. >> Well, that's a whole another. conversation. >> Can. >> we need to start doing that more? >> Are these bots? But on that note, >> yeah, >> it's a shame whenever a beautiful woman. ends up with an ugly piece of trash, basically is what they said. And it was.

Josh Allen and her hitting her the the. hats. >> The hat. >> I'm like, can we not just be happy that. these two superstars have found love in. a hopeless place? Being super popular in. a celebrity is not easy to find. somebody. When you're the MVP of the. NFL, it's not easy to be in any. relationship. Haley, I assume that. throughout her journeys, it's been hard. Hey, this is good. We need to stop. trying to tear this down. And we'd like. to let Josh Allen know. I think you're. handsome. You're not Riley Green, but I. think you're handsome. >> No one is. >> Or Drake May. Drake May kind of does look like he's 17.

years old, 18 years old. >> Yeah, he's just got that young flare, man. I know what you're talking about. >> And it is crazy that Tom Brady. >> Oh yeah. No, I mean, talk about jaw. lines. I put his up against AJ Hawks. >> I'm not We're not putting that tweet up. That was the tweet that I saw though and. I don't like it. >> There's multiple of them. That's the. problem, too. It's like you see one and. it's like, okay, fine. Even though the. one has 6 million views, fine. It's just. one. Then you see a couple others with. other multiple million views. IT'S LIKE. >> THIS ONE'S GOT 14 13.3 MILLION VIEWS. YEAH, >> THAT CANNOT BE WHAT THE WAY YOU'RE. SPEAKING ABOUT RVP.

>> THAT CAN'T BE REAL. >> That's not a real That's not the real. world. You know, these these these. people see blood in the water. You know. what Josh Allen said many times? How. she's changed his life for the better. She always talks about how supportive he. is of her career and all that kind of. stuff. What What do you want this guy to. do? You want him to retire and and. become her butler? That ain't going to. happen. >> Well, I think they're saying he needs to. get plastic surgery on his face. Well, that ain't going to happen. >> I don't like that at all. >> That ain't going to happen cuz you know. what she does? She You know what? She's. she's kissed many ugly guys in movies. Many. >> Pitch Perfect three. Boom.

>> You know, and I'm not going to I'm not. going to go out there and and throw. shade on other actors cuz that's not my. >> We don't want TO CALL ANYBODY OUT. WE. JUST DON'T LIKE THAT. R MVP. He's being. TALKED ABOUT THE WAY. >> GUYS PLAYS FOOTBALL. HE'S HAD HIS nose. broken about 150 times. What do you want. from him? Okay. Maybe he doesn't have. the pictures perfect face. He's a pretty. He's a pretty good-look guy. >> Not Riley Green. >> again. >> Or Drake man. >> Nobody is. That mustache. Oh my god, his. accent. >> Yeah, the way he throws a football. >> Oh, guitar.

>> Yeah, we can't be We can't We can't. >> Riley Green is the one. >> He is right now. >> DON'T THROW RILEY GREEN IN THERE CUZ. WHAT HAPPENS IF THESE Haley heads. haven't even seen Riley Green and then. they look him up AND THEY'RE LIKE, >> "EXACTLY.". >> YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. >> WE CAN'T WE CAN'T BE THROWING THOSE TWO. IN THE same category. >> Joining us now is a man who's just as. handsome as Riley Green, Dan Olowski. >> Good to see you, Dan. Thank you for. joining us. Got your play. Got your. playboy going on. >> Um, >> what is the You always wear these bunny. What is.

>> Bod Bonnie? >> Psycho Bunny. >> The hell's that? >> That's lit, dude. That's super lit. >> Thank you. >> What is that? That's a brand. >> It's a clothing company. >> Hell yeah, dude. It looks super cool. >> Psychos, man. >> Can you show that again? >> You see the crossbones at the bottom? >> Inappropriate. >> No, cuz it's a killer bunny. Yeah, that's not very appropriate. >> Well, it's got rabies. Actually, this. bunny's got rabies. Okay, it'll come and. get you. That's why it's a killer. All. right, Dan, let's talk about being a.

killer. Brock Birdie turning the ball. over potentially a killer instead. They. still win and cover. Please tell me the. Carolina Panthers could have won that. game. And also, please tell me if the. San Francisco 49ers with how they are, obviously, a lot of missing pieces can. go win a Super Bowl because BA said no. Debbut said no, Tai said no, Tone said. no. Conor's the only one who said maybe. And I think the reason is we saw the. Rams play and then we see the Niners. play. Rams seemingly on a different. planet than everybody else in the NFC at.

this exact moment. Niners, can they keep. up? And what do you think about Brock. going forward? >> Yeah, Rams not on a planet, a different. planet than everybody else. I would be. absolutely shocked if the NFC rep isn't. LA, Seattle, or Philly. Uh, and more. than likely one of those NFC West teams. I do not think that San Francisco can. win the Super Bowl. I I just don't think. they have enough enough healthy bodies. on defense in their front seven. Um, so. Brock, I I would tell you that if you. look at the interceptions and why they.

happen, Brock has always been a player. in his first couple years that you. marveled at how early he threw the. football yet down the field. He had this. almost like unrealistic anticipation. where you're sitting there going, "How. can you cut that ball early or cut that. ball from your hands so early down the. field and still have it placed. perfectly?" The interceptions this. season are far too often late. The the.

anticipation is gone. And there's guys. that don't have to play with ton a ton. of anticipation. I heard coach talk. about this. Stafford's one of them. Josh. was certainly one early in his career. Patrick like because they've got these. cannons for arms. Brock doesn't. And so. he was playing at such a high level. because he played so fast and the ball. came out of his hands so much sooner. than the the route kind of established. itself. Look, these clips, they're all. three hitches. This offense is not built.

on three hits throws. Coach knows this. as as well as any. This offense is not. built on three hitch throws. you get to. the top of your drop, that ball's out of. your hands. And if it's not, like watch. how many hitches he takes here. One, two, three, three and a half. And then. it's it's late. So, am I concerned? Well, yes, because that was the strength. of his game, but also at the same time, it's something that he's shown that's. not necessarily who he is, and it's.

absolutely correctable. >> Okay. And now the Carolina Panthers, they had a huge night ahead of them. potentially. They would have took the. lead in the NFC South. Now granted, they're six and six. They were six and. five going in. Nobody could have. expected this from the Carolina. Panthers. We've actually been following. along pretty closely strictly because. we've kind of dogged the Panthers in the. past. So Panthers fans, which there are. still some. Remember just a couple years. ago there was like 500 fans in the. stands for their final game. It it felt. like it was the worst. Obviously the. biggest dumpster fire in the entire. league is what Carolina felt like. Then. they bring in Morgan, they bring in.

Canales. Ter kind of goes a little bit. more hands off but also starts giving. back to the community and kind of. understanding his position. We've become. big fans of this Panthers team. We've. also become big fan uh fans of Bryce. Young. They get all those turnovers. They can't make anything happen out of. it. We saw T-Max score a touchdown. I'm. happy the Irish you got a chance to say. hello to the prime time audience to. score a touchdown. But what do we think. about the Carolina Panthers and what do. you think about Bryce Young where he's. at right now and maybe what the next. couple steps look like for that team? Yeah. Number one, last night, the. perimeter the perimeter players did not.

match the physicality out of San. Francisco. Uh, and that that's really. the story of the game. They didn't I. heard Boston Connor talk about Dao only. had six carries. I think they had 40. snaps. They were terrible on third down, but if you watch the third downs, I. don't see there's a lot of protection. problem. I don't see there's a lot of. schematic problem. They just physically. got out toughed at the perimeter when it. comes to ball downfield, middle of the. route, physicality at the top of a route. to win. So they just did not match that. from San San Francisco. The the reality.

is this game came down to two plays for. Carolina. The pick down on the oneyd. line, inexcusable. Bryce has to see that. defender. >> First and goal, Dan. First and goal. >> I'm shocked he threw it. I'm shocked. that that's that's just a backside. defender. For some reason, Bry does. Bryce doesn't see him. He doesn't. threaten the line. Just run, Bryce. Run. Threaten. You're You're one-on-one with. the defensive tackle out in space. And. so, I'm floored that he throws throws. that football. I cannot defend. Just. run. If he runs there, he's got a guy. out in front. He's got an offensive.

lineman out in front. Just see. Scream. go. See that guy's waiting for him cuz. he doesn't want to go downfield. Just. scream go. So, can't make that throw. And then there's a third and four down. I think it's the second quarter. It's. third and goal from the four yardd line. San Francisco shows allout pressure. He. throws it to the perimeter and it's. one-on-one on the perimeter and San. Francisco makes the tackle. I I didn't. love that play call because what are we. doing versus zero? We're just going to. throw a swing screen. Um especially with. there's no pick, there's no traffic for.

that backer to run through and you you. can't obviously oneyd line interception. Third and goal. I'd love to see a ball. go to T McMillan or T-Mac in that. situation. So I'm disappointed with the. lack of physicality by the perimeter. players. Xavier Legette. I he's gota he's got to earn the right. to be on the field more. Jaylen Coker. who I believe is an undrafted player. should not be playing more than Xavier. Legette but they are because he's just. not meeting what what is expected out of. him. >> Leette had a couple good weeks though.

Let's like earlier in the year not it. was pretty bad. It was like this guy's. not a one or this guy is nowhere near a. one. Then he had a couple big time. weeks. Obviously had a catch last night. I think on the sideline and some other. stuff. But to your point, he's not. prevalent enough. Like I don't think any. of us, we all go, we all talk about. Irish down there whenever we're talking. about who the wide receiver is. We think. about T-Mac, the kid out of Arizona. who's former volleyball player. Some of. his volleyball highlights are. >> absurd. But they talk about him. athletically just being a freak and his.

catch radius is gigantic. Nobody even. really talks about Leette other than how. sweet his accent is and that he eats. squirrels. >> Correct. >> Right. That that is kind of the. conversation. >> Yeah. And I I but and I'd also say this. Pat, you know, his game has to be. physicality. He he's not a burner. He's. a big, thick, talented, structurally. like sound dude. You should be a. physical presence at the wide receiver. position. If you watch San Francisco to. both those guys, just push them around. Ted fought back a little bit. I did not. feel that from Xavier Legette. And so.

I'm walking away. If I'm Carolina, I'm. disappointed the way with the way that. we played on the perimeter physically. because we just did not match San. Francisco. >> All right, enough about Monday Night. Football. Week 12 was awesome. Saw a. huge win by Chicago, which obviously in. turn is a gigantic loss for the. Pittsburgh Steelers, but we saw some. from Caleb Williams that got us. very excited. Go ahead, Dud. >> Yeah, I asked you a few weeks ago about. Caleb Williams and where he was with the. Ben Johnson and the offense, and you.

were optimistic about him. I think he's. continuing to take those steps. What are. your thoughts on Caleb Williams right. now and how he's operating in this Ben. Johnson offense and how you see it going. forward? >> The coach will tell you exactly what he. thinks of the player by the plays that. he calls and right now the playbook is. wide open in Chicago there and that's a. total credit certainly to the. quarterback. You want to run the. football, great. You want to go hard. ball play action out of the gun, great. They can get an empty and throw it on. the go line and he's quick and decisive.

I think the biggest thing for me, D, but. outside of that, what I'm just talking. about is like the playbook is so wide. open. They put a defensive tackle at. fullback the other day and and ran the. football to him. They're running the. football. They're going really good in. play action. They're building plays in. for the yards after catch. I believe. they went double reverse. There's. multiple screens. Here's empty on the. goal line. But I think the one thing. that Caleb has grown the most in in the. last month in my eyes is if the play is.

there, quarterback run on fourth down. If the play is there, like the if if the. the play call is the right one versus. the defense, I need you to play on time. now. Like if we if I design a play and. number one is open, I need you to be. fast. And like that, this throws a. perfect example of it. This is we're. we're we're calling the play for this. defense. We get it. I need you to play. fast. That's the one I need you to play. >> Yeah. I need you to play quick on. And. so, uh, I I think that's where his. greatest growth is. I would imagine as a.

coach, if you call, play, call, and. you're anticipating something and you. get it and the quarterback doesn't do. what your coach to do, I can't imagine. how frustrating of for a coach that. would be. He's not doing that anymore. And that's why I've kind of said he's. really gone from a problem solver or a. problem creator to a problem solver. He's not really creating problems for. himself anymore. >> Yesterday he was problem creating, you. know, but creating was what he was. drafted upon because he could make magic. happen, you know. So then whenever he.

has that style of offense and then we. have the turnover early in Chicago and. it doesn't seem to go well and Ben. Johnson's this hard-nosed guy, an. accountability driven guy and Caleb is. exactly who, you know, we've learned. Caleb to kind of be. I thought they. weren't going to jail. I thought they. weren't gonna mesh because he's very. much a timing guy and just felt like. personalitywise and football-wise. This. couldn't be a worse fit for each other. And now it seems like they're perfect. for each other. And now that Ben Johnson. is seemingly building trust in Caleb, he's going to be able to do all the. Jared Goff with him eventually, but.

also add Caleb in there. Is there. like a way for Ben Johnson to add Caleb. being Caleb into an offense, or is that. all offscript stuff? >> Yeah, I think it's more offscript. You'll see situational. You saw the. fourth and one quarterback play. You. could probably do more bootlegs. eventually because getting him onto the. perimeter, I think you could do a little. bit more quarterback run down in the red. zone. But the the the beauty of the. offense is we can kind of create so much. schematic advantage by the different.

looks that we can present to you that we. can put you in doubt as a defense. And I. just need the quarterback to. consistently hit that open receiver. Again, that's kind of for me where his. greatest growth is. And then I agree, I. did not think they were going to gel. this quickly and that was my concern. Then hey, defense wins reps too. They. get paid. So if the defense does win the. rep, we miss a block, we get covered up, then you can go above and beyond some of. those plus plays. That's a beautiful. throw. It's on time. Caleb would not. make that throw last year. Those past. two clips that you have shown, Caleb.

would not make that throw last year. And. so, um, I think that right now Ben's. very comfortable. And I would say this, this is one of the I pro there's. probably four offensive lines that I. truly trust right now in the NFC on the. backstretch going making playoff runs. I. think Dallas is one. I think LA is one. I absolutely say Chicago's one, which is. shocking. I think there's a fourth one. I my brain maybe San Francisco. Yeah. >> Yeah. And and that's really the key here. is Chicago's offensive line's become a. strength. >> Yeah. And I like that the Colts also in.

there, you know. Hey. Yeah. The Colts. offensive line in there. we need to win. a big game. But I do like that the. offensive line is really the indicator. on whether or not you're going to be. able to win a Super Bowl. But also. championship defenses, I think, too. So, you know, have to have qualifiers in its. entirety. Chicago seemingly always going. to have a good defense, even if the. offense is uh the head coach driven. position. So, congrats to Caleb and. congrats to Ben. The NFC North looks. different all of a sudden. >> All of a sudden, the Bears are for real. Caleb's going to break all their passing. records within the next two years, okay,

for the Chicago Bears history. Okay. for. the history of the Chicago Bears. He's. going to have all of their records and. they're just getting started. They got. another 10 years up into the right as. Caleb and Bened. Ben Johnson's going to be there. So, that offense is going to be there. Good. news for Caleb on the turnover. potentially stopping unless they. completely go to shite, which it doesn't. look like. The Lions with Dan Campbell, we assume, are going to be good in this. entirety. The Packers, we assume, are. going to be. >> concerned. >> What's that? >> Lions are concerning. Their offensive. line's not good enough right now. NOT.

GOOD ENOUGH. AND GOING BACK THE SAME old. Lions. >> Are you saying this year or just like in. general you don't know if they're going. to be able to find it again? Is it. because Ben Johnson was kind of maybe. covering up for their offensive line or. is it no Ragnarol is maybe the big. problem with the Detroit Lions offensive. line. Is it fixable or is that just a. you got to deal with it this season type. thing? >> Yeah, I mean the interior of their. offensive line is a concern. It's not. good enough. They will not win a Super. Bowl with the the interior of their. offensive line playing.

>> Ragnau's a concern. Yeah, Ragnau's. starting to re ugly head here. This is. what I would say is you have a. quarterback that when you protect him, he could throw with anybody, >> but now the the protection has fallen. off. I would tell you I have no idea. what the numbers and statistics and. analy it looks like a bottom five, bottom seven pass protecting offensive. line. >> What? >> And no Leaporta. No Leaporta. Like when. Jared got pressured, it was Leapora. Where's Laaporta? Where's Laora? No, Leapora with a bad P pass protecting.

offensive line. As much as it like kills. me to say, I just don't see it for. Detroit. >> All right, last question here. Let's. stay in the NFC North. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Dano. Last week before the Vikings. played the Packers, you basically said. like, "Hey, JJ McCarthy, his mechanics, everything. It's not going to get fixed. this year, but you know, they might be. able to actually fix this over the the. course of the next, you know, off. season." and he he will develop after. Sunday's game where he just looked like. dog shite once again. Where do we stand.

with JJ and do you think there's a. chance that they don't even give him. that opportunity and they cut bait. before he can actually realize his full. potential? >> Yeah, I don't think that the latter. happens. I mean, this young man just. hasn't played football. He's barely. practiced football in the last two. years. I think the biggest concern right. now is you are watching paralysis by. analysis. I mean, there's clips where he. catches the ball in the shotgun and you. can see him walking through drops of. trying to think of what should I do with.

the football right now? What should I. do? Let alone what should I do with the. football? Meaning, it's almost like he's. trying to think of what is what are what. is the coaching point of a drop or a. landmark or how many steps. I'm counting. steps in my head. I'm counting what I. should be doing with my left leg and my. right leg or trying to think of what I. should be doing with my left leg and my. right leg rather than okay this is the. defense this is where I try want to try. to work and this is how I can manipulate. somebody or how feel coverage and so.

this is the no that's not the clip but. there's a clip where you can see him go. left leg right leg left leg and it's. almost like he's walking through it in a. walkthrough type of mannerism and he's. just there's definitely an overthinking. right now um I understand it he's in a. stuck place and it's not a fun place to. be as a quarterback. I don't think they. give up on him, but because of the lack. of performance and the lack of health. and availability, there's no question. you'll have to bring high-end. competition in. >> Well, Max Bros certainly can do that.

This dude's a stud. He He can spin it. from what I've been told from the film. study we've seen. But that's kind of. been the conversation is that Kevin. Oonnell can make anybody good. What's. this guy's name? Who cares? Kevin. Okonnell's coach and the offense. coordinator. If he can throw a football, he will be a good quarterback. Then when. we we talked to Kevin Okonnell down at. owner's meetings, we said because they. were looking for a quarterback. Obviously, they had moved on from Sam. Darnold. Danny Dimes had left the. building. Aaron Rogers allegedly uh was. interested in the job, but they.

seemingly passed on him or let him know. they were going to pass. We asked Kevin. Oonnell, what you're looking for, and he. said accuracy. >> So, did we think JJ McCarthy was an. accurate passer? Like, what? Go ahead. I. would say this, Pat. I think one of the. things that I certainly did not think. about, and coach could probably speak to. it better, is the guys that Kevin's had. a ton of success with, it's in part. because they've had experience in the. NFL. Like, they mechanically have worked. through some of the issues that maybe. were a problem in their past. Kurt.

Cousins was a vet. Sam Darnold was a. vet. Uh even some guys like and Nick. Mullins who's had to play, he's been. around the NFL for four, five, six. years. And so this is, you know, Kevin. Oonnell's first time with a young, very. young, and certainly unproven player. And it just feels like the expectation. of baseline performance for the the. coach and the play caller was here and. where the player is is really here. So I.

would probably pinpoint it on a lack of. development to the point that is needed. >> Injury hurts that obviously his rookie. year. big conversation. Coach Ba, the. author of a book called The Quarterback. Whisper, that's what he's actually. titled, Bruce Arens, 47 years in. football, has coached every single. quarterback that's basically ever played. quarterback and also every quarterback. that has gone into the Hall of Fame. Basically, you know, quarterbacks inside. and out. You know, the NFL and the. league and how it operates in offense. and everything like that inside and out.

Uh, when you hear about JJ McCarthy and. how it's all going and the stories. coming out, his leadership's great, his. moxy is great, and then you hear these. things like, well, he also calls himself. nine when he's on the field and he's on. demon time and he's got to control all. that type of stuff. What are your. thoughts? What would your messaging be. to him? And have you ever had an. experience like this with a young. quarterback that maybe is struggling. very, very, very hard early? >> Yeah, a couple times. But, uh, yeah, the. alter ego thing is, uh, it needs to be. AP. >> What's that? >> Accurate passer. Okay,

>> not snot. We don't need snot bubbles and. tears. >> Okay, >> you play quarterback, not linebacker, >> okay? We don't need all this hyped up. >> All right, just go play. quarterback and be relaxed and throw the. damn ball to the right guy because you. got the talent. Now I go back his senior. year, what did he throw? 45 passes. entire in fourth quarter, his entire. senior year. >> 35. >> 35. Yeah. I mean, that that's that's not. NFL ready. Then you miss your rookie. year. >> All right. So, he has had no development. as a pastor. And like mechanically, you.

can't think about mechanics in the NFL. You got to be thinking about where the. hell am I going with this ball in two. point seconds. >> All right. This thing's got to go. somewhere right there because of this. I. don't think he's he's missing all of. that right now. First of all, how the. hell do I get back there? How do I read it? Where's it going? >> And then also, how do I throw it? >> And now he's thinking about how the hell. to throw it. So, it's like that's bad. combination, brother. Really bad. >> What would you say to You tell him just. it. We got to stop thinking about. all this stuff. Or how would you do.

that? I was maybe. >> re just relax. Get rid of nine first. thing. Let's let's get rid of nine. All. right. And uh let's get JJ in there and. play. Yes. You're a hell of a leader and. but it got to be it's totally different. when you're leading Michigan and you're. leading the Minnesota Vikings. >> Yeah. The Michigan team could run 50. straight times on basically everybody. because of who they had. Minnesota is. not going to be able to do that. And. Kevin Well, they could. I guess they. tried to. Yeah, they're going to have. to. I don't think it's going to win in. the NFL, but Kevin Oonnell's entire. offense is based on this guy processing,

developing, knowing, and delivering. quickly, just like Shanahan's offense. >> Some good weapons. >> AND THAT'S WHY. >> JUSTIN JEFFERSON SITTING OUT there. >> I mean that's Hawkins. >> Naylor's Jordan Mason. >> Oh, Darasaw paid left tackle. >> THEY THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE number one. seed in the NFC last year and then they. decided like, hey, this is what we're. going to do. So, there's a lot of. pressure on him to develop, which I can. see why he would overthink it. But. you're saying we need to get rid of all. of that. >> We got to wipe that slate clean and just.

go back to basics. Let's keep it as. simple as possible every game where he's. not thinking about everything. >> Last thought. Go ahead, Dano. >> Yeah. I I Yeah, I think the thing coming. out of school, JJ, my one thing within. him was he looks on a play-by-play basis. like a player who's trying to be perfect. all the time. I know what it says on. paper, coach. I will do that perfectly. I will do exactly what the paper says. And I just don't think you can play at. that level chasing perfection.

um on a on a play-by-play basis. I think. to coach's point like dude, you just got. to go play, man, and stop trying to do. everything flawlessly perfect by what. the paper says. >> Not only on the field, but off the. field. Well, you hear his press. conferences, you hear the answers he's. given, you see the way he acts, his. leads. It does feel like he's trying to. be a movie character NFL quarterback, you know, like this is what I've heard. you're supposed to be like. This is what. I heard you're supposed to be like. I. think it's good intentions, you know, but I think it's a lot to kind of try to. process as opposed to just being you're.

trying to be. I think you'll be able to. figure it out. And I don't like. >> Can I ask Coach a question, MAN? I. >> IT BETTER NOT BE ABOUT GETTING RID OF. NINE. OKAY. LIKE BA was saying, >> it's about the Eagles. It's about the. Eagles cuz. >> Okay, here we go. >> All right. So, here here's my complaint. about the Eagles, coach. So, one of the. things I always loved about you and like. and my um my thought was you didn't play. around in the run game. You're like, I'm. just trying to be efficient in my run. game. Try to continue to be in good down. in distances. And often times I was.

like, here comes Duo. Here comes Duo. Here comes Duo underneath Duo. Philly. doesn't do it enough. Philly's in the. shotgun. The shotgun run drives me nuts. Do you agree with that? Like can you. explain to me in your thought the. advantage of running from underneath the. center at people with double teams in. comparison to running today in the. shotgun? >> Oh yeah, definitely. You know, and you. know where the big difference is, Dan. It's in your play action game. When you. are younger center and you're taking a. seven and maybe time it up to nine step.

drop on a bootleg, you can't do that in. the shotgun. You know, it's going to be. five at the best. So, you're usually. back there holding the damn ball, waiting for that stuff to go down the. field. But the running game, yeah, I'm. I'm an under center guy. I I love to. have that tail back behind me. And I if. the quarterback's injured a little bit, I don't mind the pistol. I put the kids. in the pistol back in the 80s with with. the head sprained ankles, you know, but. we can still do everything we want to. do. Go both directions. Uh I agree with. you totally on that shotgun running. game. >> That's hilarious when you thought of.

that. Back in the 80s, you said, "Uh, this backup quarterback ain't worth a. If we can stand you out there, we. will do that with pistol, brother.". Yeah, that's exactly what you said. Yeah, without saying it. Uh, Dano, we. appreciate the hell out of you, man. That's Dan Olowski. >> Dan wanted to host his own show there. Eat up more time. Has no idea we got a. living legend waiting around. >> Come on, >> ladies and gentlemen. This man might be. an SEC father at this point. I'm not. 100% sure. One of the greatest comedians. to ever exist. A human's brain cannot be. uh any more epic than this man. Ladies. and gentlemen, Theo Vaughn. >> Theo.

>> Hey, sorry. Dano just kept that thing. going. Theo, I'm sorry about that. Oh, it's okay. He's probably just chilling. time. Probably trying to stay away from. his wife, you know? I don't know. I mean, people. my that's what my buddies do. They're. always in their cars like in their like. in their yard trying not to go inside or. whatever. >> Dan's wife's a sweet lady. Theo's. obviously saying that as well. Does not. know her. She's a sweet lady and who. knows what Yeah. Dan was sitting on the. side of the road though there for a. while and ext. Yep. Yep. We're kind of. piecing it together. Yeah. Yeah. We're.

not getting into it. But let's talk a. little bit about relationships. Uh we. see we saw you on senior day at Vandy. We saw the video. Yeah. Uh can you tell. me about your relationship with the. Pavia family and Diego and his mom and. everybody because I think this has been. a big piece of V story is not only. bringing people in but Nashville people. becoming massive Vandy fans. Can you. talk a little bit about it and what was. senior day like? Yeah, I mean, you know, the lore with me. and his mom, you know, like we made a. bet one day on a game and Diego said if.

if they won against South Carolina that. he he would set me up on a date with his. mom and then um and they won and so I. was, you know, kind of getting fired up. or whatever or at least I was like, you. know, taking care of myself better a. little bit. And then um and then he said. then he added to the date, he's like, "But only if I get to go on a date with. Tate McCrae." And so we never could make. that happen. So, the date never really. panned out. The date never made it, right? >> Yeah. You couldn't hold up the end of. the bargain. Yeah. Yeah. Got it. Yeah. >> Yeah. I couldn't get him a date with.

Tate McCrae. He wouldn't answer my DMs. I don't blame her. Um but anyway, yeah, but I've just become friends with the. family, man. And he asked me last week, he's like, "Will you walk out there with. me on senior day?" Um, which was pretty. cool. Um, yeah, the guy's just like I. don't know. He's an underdog. He's an. underct. I don't know if they have under. lions, but that's what that dude is, man. He's like the. >> he's the ultimate under animal. And he. just the whole group there, they got a. whole group of guys like the light is on.

in him. Um it's just been an uplifting. group and I just started becoming. friends with Diego during the summer and. then some of his roommates and like um. and now I just love being over there. It. like adds so much joy to my life. So. >> yeah, Snoop Dogg became Snoop Lion. So I. think you can say underdog to under Lion. as well. I think that's a good play by. you. That's that big brain that you're. using for Diego. Obviously, in Heisman. Chatter, we all hope, Yep, it's under. there. We all hope that Diego gets an. opportunity to go represent Vandy in New. York City. I think he has certainly. earned it. Let's talk about you and SEC.

football getting a chance to be around. Obviously, you're normally touring, I. think, during this time. This year, you've gotten a chance to go experience. the entirety of this college ball. season. What are your thoughts? And, uh, I know you and Lane have gotten very. tight as well. He's in the middle of. like maybe one of the biggest stories in. uh the last 10 years of college ball. because there's a lot of new rules that. are about to be made because of Lane. >> Yeah. Well, Lane is causing problems and. that's what he does. You know, that's. part of like, you know, he's he likes to. uh you know, he likes to bring his own.

bumblebees wherever he goes. He's just. that kind of guy, you know, likes to he. likes to have an effect on things. Um on. the field and off, he's just an. entertaining guy, man. I think he's. probably one of the most entertaining. and unique characters that's kind of. existed in college football. I mean, he's on Twitter. He's like kind of like. putting out little clues and like it's. just like this this scavenger hunt for. his like imagination or whatever. I have. you don't even know what you're doing. after a while. You go on these rabbit. holes and like then you're looking at. like geoloccations of where he was. raised and stuff online. It's like it.

gets pretty out there. So, um yeah, but. going there was awesome. I hadn't gotten. to go to a lot of these SEC places to. see games. So, I got to go to Old Miss. and the Grove. I mean, it stood up as. like one of the best parties. Lane gave. me his hotel room in the team hotel or. whatever for the night. And so, um, they. even had like a shakuderie in there or. something. Couple s Yeah. Couple night. sausages or whatever. And, uh, so I got. to have those couple juice boxes, which. I thought was kind of crazy that.

somebody would have that's an adult. coach or whatever. Yeah. Who. >> Yeah. Who doesn't love a couple juice. boxes or whatever before bed? Um but. yeah, so that was just like that. experience was uh was pretty. unbelievable. But yeah, we've gotten to. go to been to Alabama, gotten to see um. a game there, and that's more like a. pro, it feels like a pro environment. there. U Virginia Tech, that was. amazing. That's probably one of the most. um choreographed fan bases with all of. the uh people that are in the military. that are um enlistes that are there. So,

you have like all this like whole like. storm of like humanity that's happening. like while the game's going on. We went. to South Carolina. Um LSU we saw a game. at this year. We're going to go to. Neland this weekend. I already went to. Neland once. So, >> yeah, man. Sorry to just be talking so. much. >> No, this is why you're here. Yeah. Listen, if any if you would come on our. show and just talk for two hours, that'd. be great for us. We we would certainly. take that. So, you do and say whatever. the hell you please. We're very thankful. you're joining us, but have you always.

been a college ball fan or are you kind. of getting baptized by it this year? Cuz. I know you're from Louisiana and. obviously I've learned a lot about the. people you grew up around. You know, I. had a kid in the neighborhood this had a. guy in the neighborhood this up the. street did this. I've learned about your. neighborhood. Is it a big college. football town? Are you a big college. ball guy or is this the first year. you're really diving in? And it's okay. for either of those answers. By the way, I'm very new to the college ball world. and it is epic. I'm a huge fan. Yeah, I think I'm I mean I've always. been an LSU fan and then I moved to. Tennessee, so that you know has been. kind of a new experience. Um but this.

year I think I've just had the I've had. the most free time to get involved, you. know, and and having a team like locally. here that was starting to be a fun place. to watch football. Uh I think helped to. really start change it start to change. it for me. Um I just start to I think. about how long think about the SEC, right? probably the most um notorious. conference in college football at least. probably in the past 25 years and they. Vanderbilt has been at the B when you.

think about the fact that they're. they've been in that conference and just. been you know. >> laughed at bro laughed at coach Sabin. was on our show coach Shamin doesn't. talk about anybody coach Sabin's on. our show and he's like everywhere is. difficult to play in the SEC all right. except for Vanderbilt that was literally. what he said that's how Vanderbilt was. kind of viewed it was Jay Cutler went. there, but this team stinks. And then. NIO transfer portal, Clark Lee comes in. there, and that place is like really. bringing Nashville to life. I I I. wouldn't say that, but bringing. Nashville to a college football town,

right? Wouldn't you say? >> Yeah. I mean, it's kind of it's lightly. popping, I would say. I mean, you know, like some places they'll have like the. KISS cam at like halftime or whatever, and they have like the reading cam. there, like they'll find people that are. reading in the stands and stuff. So, it's definitely like it's a different. energy, you know? Um, so you know, you. have to but you have to it's baby steps. You know, I think it's been interesting. to watch a fan base and this is just an. outsers's perspective, but to watch a. fan base like they don't know what to do. like when their team is doing it. You.

know what I'm saying? There's not a lot. of cheers and chants built in. So, you'll see at certain points of the. season, they started teaching the fan. base like different cheers and stuff. It's been pretty fascinating. >> Yeah, it certainly is. And college. football fans are our best fans. So, I. think we're the ones uh they're the ones. that we would put up against the. hooligans in Europe whenever you're. talking about uh best fans in the world. for something. Super super passionate. group of fans in college football, especially in the SEC. Now, we only have. a couple minutes left because Dan. Olowski just ate it all up. But talking. about passion, there's a lot of.

going around with your home state and. also Lane. Yeah, Theo, given your. connection and your ties to Louisiana, and I believe you went to school at LSU. for a little bit, they kind of have put. all their eggs into, hey, we need to go. hire Lane Kein. That is kind of the only. option that we have. What do you think. will ultimately happen if they don't. hire a guy like that? Like, is Louisiana. just going to crumble? Is there going to. be mass chaos in the streets? >> And what should Lane do? One minute, Theo. >> If I'm Lane, I think he's built.

something great over there at Old Miss. It's exciting there. People are giving. all they can. People are selling things. that they sacrificing antiques and stuff. like that to be able to like donate to. the uh the Grove initiative there. People are trying to get that NIL money. People are selling family recipes to put. money into that. I feel like he's pushed. the cart all the way up the hill there. So to leave right now feels weird. It. almost feels like it would be like when. Sabin left right before he started. winning all, you know, just rattling off. championships. Um but that's my.

thoughts. I don't know what lanes are. You know, he may have different he has. he obviously has different ideas. Um I. just can't I don't know who he's. trolling. That's the thing. And he's. definitely trolling somebody. So I'm. intrigued to see who it is, but I just. think he it seems to me like he has such. a great life over there. Um that I think. he should stay. Now, would he be great. at LSU? I think anybody would be great. at LSU. Um it just wasn't working out. for Brian Kelly. There's a lot of good. coaches that could be great there. So, >> all right. Well, good luck to all of. them. Theo, thank you for joining us.

Can you talk to us next week? >> Yeah, dude. I would love to talk about. something next week and let's get. freaking uh I want to talk about how. who's going to be in this uh playoffs. Playboy. >> You got it. >> We'll join Hey, we'll see you next week. You're the man. You're the greatest. Thank you for everything you've done for. us, by the way, over like the last 20. years since real world road rule. You're the best. >> Oh, great. Let me get some ice cream. >> Okay. All right. That's See you next. time. >> Yeah. Belle Sessions, who got here at 3:00.

a.m. this morning, was the winner. Her. ticket was pulled. And you thought to. yourself immediately, "What, Belle?". >> I knew I couldn't do it. And he was next. to me and he said that he could. So, we're splitting it. >> Okay. So, Belle Sessions made the. decision to talk to my man Henry Silver, who been. Henry got here yesterday at 6:00 p.m. He's been waiting for this moment. Now, Henry, you told her that you could make. it. Why do you think that's the case? Have you ever kicked a ball before?

>> I've kicked a ball before. I've played. soccer my whole life. I think I can do. it. >> This kick is for 150,000. You said you. would split it in half, right? >> Okay. So, let's make it 200,000. If you. make it, you will both get 100,000. Where are you from, Henry? >> I'm from Fischers, Indiana. >> Who's your favorite NFL team? >> The Colts. >> Hell yeah, dude. Hell yeah. Come on, bro. Hell yeah. To hell with the. Falcons. Uh, that that was rude. They.

didn't deserve that. I like that. HENRY, 33 YARDS. 100,000 FOR YOU. 100,000 FOR. HER. $200,000 TO HURRICANE RELIEF. 400,000 ON THE LINE. HENRY, ARE YOU. READY? >> OF COURSE. >> YOU EVER SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT KICKERS? >> Of course. >> Shut up. Let's go. Now, here in Athens, Georgia, it would be beautiful if. $400,000 would be up for grabs. Why. don't we double it? Because the Georgia. Bulldogs. So,

eight $800,000 kick right here, Henry. But what I want to let you KNOW IS. YOU'RE NOT GETTING A second opportunity. >> I don't CARE IF THIS ENTIRE PLACE STARTS. chanting for a second kick.

College football's amazing. Bill, YOU JUST WON $200,000. YOU'RE A GENIUS. >> The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world.

>> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You. stop. Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. sports. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble boat. The Thunderdome on. this BA day, Tuesday, November 25th, 2025. Hour two of the program begins.

now. Football. >> is awesome. It's spectacular. It's. stupendous. And the NFL just wrapped up. its week 12 of its season. THERE WAS NO. from 47year football coach Coach Ba. There was one. >> jump off sides. Yeah, that's on me. Uh. talks and tables here at Boston Conor. and at Tai Schmidt, nine-year NFL vet. Darius J. Butler is here and LIVE FROM. HAMMER DON T is AP Tone who we're going.

to be visiting with here in just a few. moments about what the College Football. Playoff Committee is going to do tonight. and hopefully what the CFP chair is. going to say afterwards. Now I. on game day. college football institution. >> looked at the camera a couple times and. told this Hunter character who is the. new chair of the CFP committee. Hunter. your check who has been thrusted into. the CFP chair position because M.

Rhodess who's no longer. >> correct. >> athletic director at Baylor is also no. longer the chair of the CFP. That was a. week ago that changed. So Hunter Euro. check was kind of put into this. position. He's out of Arkansas. Guy from. Utah gets put into the committee to kind. of uh substitute the Big 12 athletic. director loss from Baylor there. So, they have a a kind of a new operation, but 10 of the 12 pieces still in the. exact same role that they have been in. the entire time. >> Okay. >> This Hunter Euro check guy comes out. after the CFP bracket is kind of laid. out like this is what we see it and how. we see it. And this is the most.

important thing, okay, of the entire. college football world. This thing on. Tuesday. It's the one that matters. >> What happened this weekend? The games. game's obviously awesome. They set up. for this particular group to decide who. gets a start at 12 and try to count down. to one. It's a big deal. So then. whenever the CFP, we can't run it every. time. We can't do we don't have enough. time. >> Are we sure? >> We're not doing it right now. We're not. doing it right now cuz I got to make. this point. >> Okay. Okay. >> We're allowed to say, "Hey bud, you got. to give better answers." Okay. The CFP.

committee is a big deal. This is very. important. It is a lot of money. invested, a lot of time, a lot of. effort, a lot of people's lives. So, whenever you guys are rolling out what. your bracket is and the things and. reasons why you're doing it, we just. need a little transparency. We we we. need a little bit of an answer because. we're all covering it, talking about it, and in love with it. So, it's like. that's a very important role. I think. Hunter maybe his first time out there. filling in for Matt Rhodess was scared. to death. I think he was potentially. scared to death. This week, what we want. to let Hunter know is, you know, you got. it.

>> Come on now. >> There's a reason you're in that chair. >> And go ahead and give us information. You're allowed to do that. Live from. Manatakin, Ohio. He's a man who is an. alumni of the number one team in the. country. He's a college football. national champion, Super Bowl champion, Rder Cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawk. >> I know Ohio State fans don't care. because the only thing that's on their. mind is from that team from up north. >> It's a big one. >> True. It's a big week. >> How do we feel? You got to feel good. HOW MANY DAYS HAS IT been since you guys. beat Michigan? Oh, thousand something.

>> It's been years. Yeah. Years. >> Oh my god. cuz they've come into your. house and holy god. >> Is that live right now? Oh my god. Bruce Brown now running. computer. Uh is. >> Oh yeah. You know, he had that potted up. real quick. Old Bruce had it yesterday. if we needed it, but got it today as. well. >> Yeah. Happy had that in the back, but. that very quickly came up there. 2,180. What's that? >> That's six years. Well, didn't they, you know, they bailed.

out one year, COVID, it didn't play, I. believe that adds to it. >> Six years. >> Time didn't stop. >> It's four four straight games, I. believe. RIGHT. >> I DON'T KNOW. ALL I KNOW IS it's 2,187. days AGO WE WATCHED I FORGOT AIDEN. Hutchinson kind of started this entire. thing, didn't he? >> He did, man. >> If I if I do recall, in the snow. >> He's on his second contract. >> Guys are worth $200 million. HOLY THE BUCKEYES, obviously a.

very proud group, >> very tough group of people. They were. saying to themselves, Ryan Day just. can't get it done. This guy needs to get. the hell out of town. Loses the Michigan. last year, wins the national. championship. Ryan Day is not even. allowed to celebrate her. >> That's cool, bub. It's been a couple. thousand days since you beat Michigan. Let's go ahead and make sure we do that. next year so we don't have to do this. whole song and dance. Ryan Day feeling. heat. Team feeling heat. You think Ohio. State understands that even though. they've been the outright number one. team in the country? Basically since. week 1.1 after they beat Texas, they've.

been a number one team. They've. dominated everybody. They've shown. really no weaknesses. They've shown. really no Illinois scored some points on. them. I guess that's the only thing you. can really say. Other than that, quarterback could win Heisman. Wide. receivers could be best players in ball. I think they're back this weekend, which. is a big deal. The defense is. outrageous. Historically good. Special. teams, we assume that is good as well. But they know that if they were to lose. to Michigan, nobody would care about any. of it, right? Isn't that kind of the. entire conversation? Yeah, that's kind. of uh I think people outside of Ohio and. Michigan, they uh they don't completely. understand, but yeah, you got to win.

this one. Absolutely. >> And that's I think. >> I think that's the beautiful thing about. rivalry week. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> And we are in rivalry week right now. Let's head OVER TO HAMMER DIME TIME ALL. THE RIVALS on Friday and Saturday, Tone. And there's some big ones out there. Shout out to college ball always. delivering for us on this particular. Thanksgiving holiday weekend because not. only Thanksgiving's packed. >> Okay. chocked full. >> Friday. We got a Black Friday game as. well, NFL. And then also, yeah, we got.

full day Friday of rivalry games. Full. day, Saturday of rivalry games. What are. the night caps? Well, after you watch. the NFL game at 3:30 on prime, you can. go ahead and watch Texas A&M and Texas. Okay, that's going to be huge. Arch. Manning is playing his best ball. Texas. is playing their best ball. Texas A&M. has obviously been great all year. Marcel Reed might win the damn Heisman. Texas A&M under Elco to the moon. And. then on Saturday, Yeah. just go ahead. and kick back. You got game day kicking. off from Ann Arbor at 9:00 a.m. available on X and on ESPN once again.

And then obviously at noon that game. kicks off and then what's the night cap? What what's happening uh late tonight? Alabama Auburn. Okay, which is going to. be gigantic no matter how either team. are playing in this thing. So whenever. you talk about rivalry, you talk about. special matchups. Tone, what are you. thinking about whenever it comes to. these two days of outright great college. ball? >> It is going to be awesome. Obviously, you know, as they say, rivalry week, you. can throw out the records. You better. buckle up the chin straps. There is no. love lost for these matchups, obviously.

Um, but let's start at the Egg Bowl. Old. Miss and Mississippi State. They've been. playing this one nonstop since 1944. Obviously, one of the grittiest. rivalries in the SEC. Uh, in this one, Miss has won two straight. If they win. three straight, they're going to go to. the playoffs. And tell you what, it's a. big story line for them going to the. playoffs, but the bigger story line may. be the decision on Saturday that's. coming after the game. >> Is that happening on game day? Do we. know that? >> I thought that earlier. I was like, is.

Lane going to do it? Like literally, is. he going to go to that yoga class and. then make the decision or how does that. work? >> I I genuinely don't know how that works. out. I Cuz they kept saying Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, and I assume it'll. just be from like a release or. >> press conference. Didn't they say he's. having a press conference? That's what I. heard. Oh man, it'd be cool if we had. that press conference on game three. >> I mean, what time is he do? Yeah, either. run it on game day or just have him come. to game day or do it there. >> He's focused on the Egg Bowl. >> Yeah, allegedly. >> Well, after the game, you know, >> Well, they're all focused on the Egg.

Bowl. That's why they push it to. Saturday. >> Oh, yeah. I've completely turned. I. know. We love laying up here, so I'm. going to bite my tongue. >> But what. >> what are you doing? >> Bite your tongue. You What the hell? What are you going to What are you about. saying? This is the most ridiculous. thing I've ever been ever seen or. witnessed from a college football by. far. >> What is he supposed to do? >> He's supposed to sign the damn contract. He's supposed to at least come out and. say something. This is This is more. ridiculous than free my boy BK. And. that's saying something. >> What is he supposed to do? Actually, what do you think he is actually.

supposed to do in the middle of college. football season? >> I don't know. I don't know what he's. supposed to do, but I know there's not. supposed to be some hoopla around it the. entire the entire year. >> I think Lane Gifin there's always going. to be hoopla. To your point, I think we. should have had an answer by now. But. like what if he actually has not had the. opportunity to learn everything about. what potential decision is because. >> what if they haven't offered him an. extension yet? Have they do we know if. they've offered him an extension? >> Then he should leave. >> Then he should leave. Exactly. Then then. he. >> BUT IF HE LEAVES THEN WHAT HAPPENS? LIKE. THIS IS THE BEST his teams have ever.

done. >> No, I agree. I'm just saying if the if. miss hasn't shown faith after what he's. done this year and offered him a massive. new contract extension. They haven't. done that yet. Then if he leaves, the. fan base can't say a damn thing. >> Theo said that they're selling family. recipes to try to feed the uh. >> the uh the Grove Collective. >> the Grove Collective down there. He said. they're selling off uh heirlooms and. antiques to try to feed the NIO, which. might be a part of the problem. But on. that note, it's like if the money is all.

the same, which we don't know if it is. We have no idea if it is. The difference. would be the recruiting, I guess, is the. angle that everybody's talking about is. like in Louisiana, you got guys that. just want to go to LSU who are going to. be better football players than anybody. around Miss that just wants to go to Old. Miss. Florida, same exact thing. I guess. there's Florida boys that want to go to. Florida and have wanted to go to Florida. since their parents went to Florida or. their dad was a Florida fan or mom was a. Florida fan or older brother played for. Florida or uh teammate play like. anything. There's this that happens I.

guess is like the big selling pitch is. like hey these two schools have your. draft basically your recruiting pipeline. taken care of. So whenever you want to. do the transfer portal which you're very. good at you don't have to necessarily. rely on your whole team being transfer. portaled in every single year because. obviously that's a roll of the dice. We've seen Florida State go from. literally penthouse to outhouse with one. transfer portal class and they still. trying to get out of that whole thing. So I guess that's the advantage. the. other side, but the other side of it is. like.

that city might be named after you like. Lane Keifin's Oxford. >> That's probably why it's a tough. situation. That's probably why it's he. had like he needs some time to figure. this out. Like, hey, this is a giant. opportunity I have no matter what I do. Like, yeah, give me a couple days, I. guess. >> And we have the number six team in the. country right now. Like, we are very. good football team. This is the. best team that I've ever had. We're. going to the I've never like we are this. is the best chance that any of my teams. that I have been a head coach have of. going on a run right now and all of a. sudden he's put into a predicament where. it's like yeah well we need to find out.

if you want to go live in another place. what the recruiting is like in another. place what a transfer portal was like at. another place and oh yeah you got to do. that before all this because the. transfer portal placement really screws. you over in this whole thing I'm trying. to be Mississippi State they got the. cowbells down there it's very very loud. that's all well we don't care about that. because if you're going to coach. somewhere else we don't We don't want. you to be Mississippi State. We actually. want you to be an ass coach, but it. would be bad for us. Yeah, but you're. going to take all our players if you. leave any. It's just I don't know how. you're supposed to. I I genuinely don't. know what the right answer is. And. obviously I chat with Lane a little bit.

I I wouldn't I don't think we're like. Theo and Lane very close. Like I think. Theo and Lane. >> gave his hotel game hotel room. Yeah. >> And his juice boxes. He had juice boxes. A little apple juices up there for good. night sausages or whatever the case was. But yeah, like I think there's a lot of. different angles this could go because I. guess in old college ball theory, you. would you would know this. You get an. opportunity to go coach at LSU or. Florida, you go like that is kind of. like old school college football thought. is I think is like the natural totally.

>> belief in it all. Like Virginia Tech and. James Franklin I thought was. >> huge. >> Gigantic. Holy hell. >> Really big. >> Yeah, it's huge. >> Really big. >> And nobody expected Virginia Tech to. like James Franklin's available. Oh, he. must be going to Florida then. Maybe. maybe James Franklin goes to Florida job. or whatever and it's like well Florida's. going to wait for Lane and then it's. like actually James Franklin in Virginia. Tech and like Virginia Tech and then all. of a sudden we're like well BA's in. there negotiating for this entire. thing. Can't tell us anything. because you signed NDA and told us that. 10 times to get himself out of having to.

tell us anything. I think it was a good. play by you. >> because you're in front of a microphone. every single week with us. >> But James Franklin going to Virginia. Tech is not the normal move either. Like. James Franklin I think in this coaching. cycle highly soughta you would assume he. would go to a bigger job in theory but. it's like Virginia Tech is backing him. Virginia Tech financially behind him. Virginia Tech ready for it. James. Franklin heard everything he wanted. It's like if Lane hears everything from. Old Miss. It's like hey we're with you. We're in it. The only thing you're going. to have to get past is the recruiting. and the stress every single year that.

you're potentially going to have to. rebuild this thing. And it's like well. how do you make that decision? I guess. you go to a 6 a.m. yoga and you try to. figure it out. Let's get back to Robert. Good luck. Great spot to be in. Good. luck, Lane. >> Great spot to be a good great spot to. >> he's in a great spot, but inevitably. he's going to make a decision that's. going to piss off so many people. >> Oh, for sure. And staring at that. >> even the other coaches because once that. he's the biggest domino once that fall, I'm sure he's getting calls from even. other coaches like, "Hey, what you going. to do?" Like, "Make a decision. Make a. call." But so, thank God he's doing the. yoga and he's locked into his book and. kind of staying in it, you know, one day.

at a time as much as he can. He has an. agent, I'm sure, that's handling all of. that business. But, it's a good spot to. be in. Uh, it's hard. It's He's. getting ready for the biggest rivalry. game. Getting ready for a playoff mushy. So, it's tough for him. He's. >> I mean, how would you know? Like. legitimately, we have been talking about. Lane Keifin for a month. >> We haven't really talked about the team. And I get we've talked about Trinidad, Winnad, and Lacy because he wheels him. out behind him. But like we we really. haven't talked about the team. When the. College Football Playoff distraction,

>> great distraction. When the College. Football Playoff comes out tonight, guess what we're going to talk about. when we see Old Miss's name up there? Well, is Lane going to be there? Like I. I I get it. I'm just done with it. >> You know what they're going to do. tonight, too? They're definitely going. to read that fourth clause. They're. definitely going to read it. Let's make. sure everybody kind of understands coach. >> that CFP committee certainly deduct Old. Miss. If they don't think Lane Keifin's. going to be coaching for him, it's right. there in the bylaws. Yeah. >> Hey, if you don't have Jordan Travis. anymore, you cannot go. And then are. Yeah. And then also, if you don't have. Lane Keifin, you can't go. We're allowed. to say you can't go. It's in the bylaws.

That's going to be big talking point. which is then going to lead to the old. miss people going yeah we need to. >> answer. >> if you're calling a press conference. like okay so do you know because you are. calling a press conference to make it a. bigger deal when you announce or are you. calling a press conference because then. you're setting your own deadline in your. head that I got to know by then. >> I'm thinking that he did not make didn't. want to make a decision I'm thinking. that there was a lot of people that. probably wanted him to make a decision. that's why he wanted to come on and say. like there's been no ultimatum made. because I think he didn't want to have. to think about I would rather not think.

about the decision is made. >> I don't think. >> which makes. >> I think he's I don't think he's made his. decision. >> Oh, you know him obviously I don't know. him. >> I think the decision is made. >> Okay. And there's people that say like I. know what's going to happen and you. could certainly say that. This is Lane. Ke. >> and that's why if you're an Old Miss. fan, if you don't think the decision has. been made yet, like that terrifies you. absolutely terrifies you because then. like what happens in the egg bowl could. completely shift what whatever the.

decision is. >> I mean definitely I mean. >> like yeah it's like. >> cuz you lose that game and everybody. wants to run you out of town. >> anyway. 90 million they said. >> exactly that's the. >> make it easy. >> Yeah, but if he's planning on staying. >> Yeah. They better win by 45 even if it's. close. >> Maybe that's all it is. You lose. Hey, they're going to kick me out anyway. See. you. Everyone No one's mad. Hey, if we. win, congrats. That's not an extension. Here we go. >> What did he say? One loss drops you out. of the top 10. Two losses drops you out. of the top 20. Three losses loses you.

your job. >> That's what he said. So maybe he is. thinking like, can we just see what. happens? I mean, this decision might get. made by the Bulldogs here. Yeah. In the. Egg Bowl. But also, I don't think he. wanted to make a decision. I think he. wanted to I think obviously he's rep by. Jimmy Ston and the big deluxe is. certainly getting all the big numbers in. the information. like if it was possible. just I I'm haven't talked to Lane's. focus on ball but if it was to have what. could it look like you know is what. Jimmy's saying. So whenever you see.

these reports like LSU is gearing up to. make a blah blah blah offer or Florida. is making up and they're like why is he. listening? It's like it's not Lane. that's calling him saying hey so what. would the negotiation this is there's a. man who's very good at his job. Oh yeah, >> maybe goat when it's all said and done. And he hasn't changed a lick since he. was I mean he's the exact same big. deluxe. I mean this son of a is. special. He he is obviously uh a great. businessman which is why he has so much. influence which some people say is that. even legal what is that even he is he.

he's. >> to represent all of them represent a. good chunk of coaches and some players. obviously right. >> he's a weapon you know but when you when. you represent a bunch of coaches. everybody talks about like well he he's. able to kind of it's like well you also. got these guys like pissed off at him if. he's not doing his job so he's been able. to balance basically he's great business. Jimmy Ston. >> the fact that you can balance all those. big-time head coaches and that is think. how difficult that must be because they. all want the jobs that are open. >> Jim Jimmy Son's a dog. Okay, he's.

absolutely a dog. But people that think. Lane Keifin is reaching out to LSU or. Florida and negotiating with him, he's. like that's not happening. Jimmy Son. saying, "Hey, if this guy who I also. represent was to be your coach, what. would it look like?" If Lane wanted to. come, I'm not saying he does, but if he. did want to come, what would that look. like? And then I would assume. yeah after the Egg Bowl I'll say I'll. assume after the Egg Bowl Jimmy Sexton. comes. >> Jimmy Son has a big platter and he says. here's basically all our options. >> Got three contracts for you. Here's what.

we're thinking. The governor Jeff Landry. wanted you to know this. You can also go. on Gator Hunt. He said and you get all. this stuff. Florida Governor Des he's. not happy about the way Florida's going. He said he can go on gator hunt day. there or two. So, we got two gator hunts. and then Old Miss here, yoga studio said. they will actually give you 15% of the. company. So, that is what Jimmy is. doing. That is his job. But he's not. just doing it for Lane, he's doing it. for all the other guys, too, just in. case. So, I think there's a lot of. conflicting stories about what Lane's. paying attention to, what he's not. paying attention to. And it's like I.

genuinely don't think he wanted to make. a decision, which is why he wanted to be. like, "Hey, Old Miss never told me I. need to make a decision right now." I. think he's trying to push it as far as. possible. And then I think the earliest. that anybody would accept which is why I. think you saw the chancellor put out a. message is like day after Egg Bowl then. like. >> we gota know which is an ultimatum then. >> yes but I don't think that was put in. place at that time like at that time I. don't think the ultimatum was put in. place then I think Lane met with them. and I think they were like he was like I. just don't want to that's not what I. want to focus on that's a lot of things.

there's a lot of things like there's so. many things to think on I'd rather just. focus on ball right now and they're like. well we need an answer we'll get after. the Egg Bowl and then they're like sweet. Saturday cuz I think the chancellor put. out a message. I was like we are very. committed to Lane Keifin getting a good. win in the Egg Bowl and then Saturday we. will be learning. It's like I think that. was a negotiation on when decision was. going to be made if I had to guess. So I. think Lane was trying to push it off as. far as possible. They were probably. trying to speed it up as much as. possible. So the day after this game is. when we will do this then I think is.

what they came to an agreement on. And I. don't know if Lane knows. I don't know. if Lane knows. What I do know is rivalry. week is sweet and I do know the old Miss. Mississippi State Egg Bowl might have. implications on so many different. states, so many different stories, so. many different college football dreams. could certainly be the case, but. obviously Ohio State hasn't won in 2,187. days against Michigan. Georgia, Georgia. Tech, you know, Georgia Tech loses the. pit last weekend. Crazy. Now, this game. matters a lot for Georgia Tech. And. obviously, Georgia has looked like one.

of the top teams in the entire country. I was in Eugene last week and they hate. Washington up here. >> They hate Washington up there. Shout out. to them obviously. And then Alabama. Auburn has massive implications for an. Alabama team that cannot lose a game. Now there's a game u that a lot of. people have not been talking about when. it comes to rivalries, but boy, the two. schools involved certainly have. Let's. go to last night after George KD's big. Monday night football performance with. Scott Vampel. Let's have some fun on the.

way out here. My producer is an Iowa. grad and I know that there's my favorite. part this week is how many incredible. games there are. There's a nuner in. Lincoln. Um you never lost there. >> You know, there's a guy that's uh he's. got a he's got a burgeoning media career. that's busting with the boys and all. that. He's Nebraska. I don't know how. he's doing after what happened at State. College. I don't know if you want to. address him directly or this floor is. yours as it relates to Iowa and. Nebraska.

Hey, Will Compton. Didn't really. appreciate your voice memo on the day of. my Monday Night Football game talking. crap to me about Nebraska. Iowa didn't. settle with me. You know what? I I. didn't like it. And you know, that's. just that's the type of thing Nebraska. does. They take cheap shots. You know, hey, I'm preparing for a Monday Night. Football game on national television and. you're coming to me about Nebraska, Iowa. That means you're scared. You're. terrified. You lost by 30 at Penn State. They just fired. Their coach lost by 30. Are you kidding me? I was gonna come in.

there, run the ball down your throat, and there's nothing you can do about it. Sit on the bus that doesn't go anywhere, and shut your mouth. Will Compton. >> Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, the man who sits on a bus that doesn't. go anywhere and has been representing. Nebraska louder than anybody that I've. ever witnessed from Busting with the. Boys and First uh Get Up, sorry, Will. Conte. >> With the boys. All right. So, uh, you. got buried on, uh, Sports Center with. Scott Vanpelt last night by George.

Kiddo. I saw your response. Epic, uh, just like most things that you do on the. internet. Iowa, Nebraska, not a lot of. people thinking about nationally. What. do we need to know? And, uh, are you. actually confident in Nebraska? And if. Iowa beats the living dog out of. NE, which is possible, are you worried. about what old George KD might do to you. next? Will, you know what I'm talking. about. I think when people talk about. this Iowa Nebraska game because again. this this type of game is for the. sickos. These are the sickos who love. college football. There's not going to.

be a lot of points scored. I want to say. last year Nebraska punted seven times. Iowa punted nine. It's been dis decided. in one score or less in the last five. years. And my confidence never waivers. on the big red. George wants to sit. there number one like Iowa guys they. can't use their brains. George is on. national television talking about will. he wants to I I don't appreciate this. this a cheap shot. He's going on. national television. Can't respond to me. directly. I'm going to him to TALK TO. HIM DIRECTLY. HE WANTS TO NOT HE WANTS. TO NOT RESPOND. He wants to go around.

and go on national television, take. shots at me when I'm just trying to. prepare for some college football on. Saturday. I'm watching last night. Volume was on eight. I'm preparing for I. think it was like North Carolina, like. North Carolina, North Carolina State was. where I was in my prep work. Volume was. on eight on the TV and then all of a. sudden I hear Scott Vanpel saying, "I. know you want to talk to your Nebraska. friend directly here in a few minutes.". I kind of look over like, "Is Georgia. about to talk on national. television?" He don't respond to my text. when I'm trying to go to him manto man. He wants to take the coward's way out. and go and broadcast it to everybody. else, but doesn't want to talk to me.

back and forth. That is the Iowa brain. at work. And he talks about, you know, we we lost by 30 to Penn State last. week. Little does everybody know that. game was meaningless last week. You. think we ran one scripted play in. practice against Penn State? NO. IT'S. ALL EYES ON IOWA HAWKEYES BECAUSE YES, we are one and nine in our last 10. That. is big brother right now. But this is. big brother who's bleeding. They can't. even defend their state. They can't even. defend their state of Iowa. They lose. Iowa State. What makes you think they. can defend the border? I know Ty.

Schmidt's sitting there shaking in his. boots right now cuz old Matt Rule, EMTT. Johnson, and Willie C is going to RUN. WILD ON THE IOWA HAWKEYES THIS WEEKEND. >> OKAY, >> that's all I got. That's the promo. >> Yeah, that was pretty good. That was. pretty good. I think you should feel. good about the delivery. I think you. should feel good. Volume at eight. Good. idea. Even setting the table a little. bit, looking over at it. And then. obviously the response was epic. Great. promo. I'd say George KD dropping right. into a wrestling promo immediately upon. the question being asked was also a. special moment in there. I appreciate. that Nebraska feels this way about Iowa.

Does Iowa think about Nebraska? >> I don't personally. No, because they're. I mean. >> WHAT IS THE BORDER ALL ABOUT WILL? IT. TURNS OUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. >> Will Will was in I Nebraska wasn't in. the Big 10 when you played there, right? You were in the Big 12. Uh we were Big 12 for two years and Big. 10 for two years. Willie C went two and0. against. >> Exactly. And that's what I was going to. say. So I understand that that Will. because he did he went two and 0 against. the Hawks. But. >> Willie C did. Yeah. >> Yeah. Willie C did. They I mean. Nebraska's 4-10 against Iowa in the last.

14. And guess what? Will Compton ain't. coming through that door to play on. Saturday. He's not. You know, so that's. one thing. But you know I mean like you. said this is Am I looking forward to. watching this game? No. like it's going. to be three and a half hours of wanting. to rip your goddamn eyeballs out and. whoever has the ball last and you know. we're probably gonna see a a 58 yard. field goal from one way or the other to. decide this game. But no, I'm not losing. any sleep over Nebraska because you know.

why would I? We got we got Mark Growski. playing quarterback. Okay, >> agreed. >> Dylan Riyola's, you know, legs and 55. different pieces. >> Who's your returner? >> Kaden Wein. You don't even But but. that's the thing, you know, Nebraska's. not going to punt to Kaden Wein. They. know what he can do and and you know. what. >> you think they just blast it out of. bounds. >> Yeah, I do. I do cuz Michigan State. should have done that last week and they. didn't. >> Nebraska is the punter that can go both. ways, right? He's a righty and a lefty. if I recall. >> I I have no idea because you know what? I'm not paying any attention to. Nebraska. And I understand we we've had. Matt rule on the show all year.

>> Exactly. He is a good guy. He is a good. guy. But no, I mean, you know, Will, you're from Missouri. That's the show me. state. >> Nebraska's going to have to show me. something before I'm losing any sleep. over THAT GAME. OH, WILLIE C. EAT that. and don't respond. We've talked too much. about this game already. Let's move. along. You said you were doing your. college ball uh scouting for the. weekend. Ohio State, Michigan. Obviously, Taylor, the other busing boy, is a huge Michigan alum, Michigan stud. 2,187.

days it's been since Ohio State has beat. Michigan. And obviously, everybody from. Ohio thinks about it. Everybody from. Michigan celebrates it. What are your. thoughts on this weekend's matchup? Is. this the one where the Buckeyes can. finally say, "Ah, we finally beat this. team that has been our only kind of uh. spurring our ass over the last decade of. dominance for our team.". >> Yeah, I you know, I would have given. Michigan no shot before last weekend. They they played their best game of ball.

last weekend. Bryce Underwood had a stat. line. The running game still moving even. with their third string running back. They can play salty on defense. Um, dude, Ohio State, you see it from afar. You're you're an internet guy. Watching. the victory laps, the patent on the. head, everything that happens. And when. they were 20some point underdogs last. year, you know, people talk like, did. ego get in the way of Ohio State and. they wanted to beat them in a certain. way and that kind of that kind of got in. their way and they end up dropping that. game to where they're planting flags on. the field. I mean, you got kids.

reenacting plays of planting the uh the. Michigan flag on Ohio State's field and. you know, Ryan Day wakes up in a sweat. in the middle of the night just thinking. about this game. Everybody's fired up. for this game. The hype, I hope it lives. up to expectation. I think Michigan has. a good shot to keep it close, even. squeak out a win, get an upset. I know. that would torture Ohio State fans, but. you called me earlier and you gave me a. little whisper. I you know if if we. don't if you cannot put this on THE.

SHOW. >> WHAT? NO. NO. DON'T DO IT. WE'RE LIVE. WE'RE LIVE. >> If I could just say it quiet. >> I think I'll say it quietly cuz we we. can't let people hear this. I do think. Ohio State handles business. Um I think. this is where they get the monkey off. their back. >> I hate saying that cuz I love my boy. I. am riding with Michigan with the points. here, but there's a massive opportunity. There's a massive opportunity for Ohio. State to beat the living hell out of. Michigan. >> Yeah. >> I just want to see chaos. I'm a cha I'm.

a pro chaos guy. Just give me chaos 10. times out of 10. Somebody's a slight. underdog. They can kind of disrupt the. entire system by getting a win. I want. to see it happen because I want to see. the internet just up in flames at all. times. That's what I love about the. sport of the internet. >> Yeah, the sport of the internet is. obviously one that's very intense and. active all the time. The sport of. college. >> Hey Pat. Pat, let me ask you. Are we. >> This is We're dumping. This is we're. dumping. AJ can't even hear us right. now. Go ahead. >> Yeah, I can't. >> I know. I know where AJ's going. What, Pat? What do you think about this game? >> What do you think about Ohio State. Michigan?

>> I want to let you know I can't wait to. get up to Ann Arbor. I can't wait to get. up to Ann Arbor. Can't wait. Very. thankful for all those Ann Arbor. students that will hang out with us uh. 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. I will say. >> the location of our set is always very. far away from the stadium. So, it's. always an interesting thing because we. have to hop on golf carts, drive like. what is seemingly 10 miles to get to the. stadium and then go inside. So, it's. always a bit chaotic up there, but boy, it's an honor to be amongst all the Ann. Arborans and all the great people in. Michigan. There's billionaires walking. around everywhere. Billionaires, kids.

just going to school. It's a lot of fun. I think it's going to be a great. matchup, Willie C. That's what I think. I think it's going to be a really good. game. That's what I think. >> We We got to wait to see what happens. when you got that shirt off. By the way, hey, your body, you look good out there. with that shirt off. I know you've been. putting in the work. I know you've been. in the sauna and working out. You look. good. You look good. >> Thank you. We can say that louder. You. don't have to do inside voice in that. one. We're allowed to let other people. hear that. Uh, a lot of good science, Willie C, as you know as well. But the. science doesn't work if you don't, you. know, that's why what I've been told. So, I've been trying to become a better.

human. I've been trying to become a. better human in it all. I wish I could. grow a mustache like what you have on. your face right now. But, I think this. game is going to live up to the hype and. I can't wait to get up there to. Michigan. And everything I said there is. true. We do take golf carts like 45. minutes to get to the stadium. They'll. have like Jen Lau will have a 20-minute. piece, then they'll have somebody Pete. Daml will maybe break down the entire. season for like 15 minutes, and then we. get in there into the stadium. It's so. every there's just humans everywhere, though. I mean, that's 100 plus. thousand. What's the big house? What is. it? 10 what?

>> 109 maybe. >> 110 or something. Yeah. >> So many people. That is so many. human beings at one place, let alone. outside of it, around it. It It does. feel it's special place to be. Lucky to. be there. Hope the game lives up to the. hype. All right, let's talk about some. other happening around the sports. world. Go ahead, Con man. >> Yeah, well, a lot of hair ago for you. You said Joe Burrow was the best. quarterback in the NFL when healthy. Finally, he's back on Thanksgiving night. versus the Ravens, and his record versus. the Ravens is pretty filthy. I think. he's got like 21 touchdowns, five picks.

He's averaging like 300 yards a game. versus him. Uh, what do you think about. the Bengals? Do you think they're going. to make a run at it here? Maybe come. back a little bit? They're banged up. Very much so. T. Higgins out. Jamar. Chase back from the spit. Do you think. that Cincy can make a run here? >> Jamar Chase back from the spit. Joe. Burrow back from injury. Do those things. make the defense play better? I don't. know. I don't think so. Like if Joe. Burrow's out on the field under quarter. under center, does that mean the second.

effort there against uh old big boy from. the Steelers a couple weeks ago, is he. actually going to throw his face in the. fan instead of kind of coddle up and. fold when the lights get on him? >> I have no clue. I like him this week. against the Ravens. I like some chaos. They won't go on a run because again, their defense is brutal. But I would. love to see Joey B light it up first. game back, like a month ahead of. schedule with his injury, especially a. turf toe. Like anybody who's had turf. toe know that's a that's a tough injury. to come back from. And he got under the. he got under the scope with it, too. He. had to get surgery. Uh but I like Joey B. this weekend against the Ravens.

>> Let's talk about the Bengals as a whole. When they put their team together the. way they did and spent the money that. they spent, did you think to yourself, "Oh, that's how teams that uh have won. football games have done it in the. past." Is that what you do? You think. they'll ever be able to win? >> So much money on a few offensive. players. Like absolutely not. Like. >> that's a shame. THAT'S A SHAME. We all. kind of. >> It's a shame. It's a shame. It's like. you kind of see, you know, uh teams that. try and do that. What's up? >> George is calling. >> Oh, we got we got we got. >> Yep. Yep. Absolutely. Back to rivalry.

week. Here we are. >> Hey, listen. George, >> we're live. We're live. We're live. We're live. >> Yeah, we're live right now. Can you say. hello? Can you wave? HEY, CONGRATS ON. BIG NIGHT LAST NIGHT, GEORGE. >> Hell yeah. GO HAWKS. GO HAWKS. GO HAWKS. GOOD PROMO. >> Saw their tag. They tagged me on. Twitter. I'm trying to get a massage. right now. Get my body right to go play. in Cleveland this week. And you're just. taking cheap shots again. You probably. >> Okay, cheap shot guy. You're This is the. first time you've been face to face with. me cuz I tried FaceTiming you yesterday. and you took the coward's way out.

>> You It's early in the morning when I. FaceTimed you. You had all day long to. respond to your boy, but you want to go. like, "Hey, hey, Scott Vanpel. Like, let. me go on your show and talk to Willie. C." Like, we know, we see, everybody. sees that you're rattled right now. >> You don't get to go on Scott Vanpel. You. get asked to go on Scott Van Pel. I. don't know if you've ever been on Scott. Vanpel, but it's an honor to work with. that legend. You probably You called Pat. to get on his show, didn't you? >> No. PATRICK, don't disrespect me right now, George.

>> I'm trying to keep my head above water. Hey, I hate you this week and I'm gonna. hug you next week. >> I love you. Take care of yourself. >> Hate me now. Love me later. Love that. >> Amen. >> Love everything about that. >> You said it. >> All right. We We just talked about the. Bengals obviously having a recipe for. success, which we all certainly know. I'm happy that happened. I'm happy you. guys are that tight, by the way. That's. a beautiful thing. >> I don't know who posted this photo. It's. messed up. I don't like this. >> Oh, yeah. Come on. Photoshop, man. >> AI is crazy, man. That looks real. That.

looks real. Yo, Jack. You're good. >> Yeah, you look Wait, is that Are you on. the same science as me, bro? You Hey, >> I don't know if I'm putting the same. science in my body as you. I need to get. on that plan. I need to hit you up on. the side. Like, hey, what we What do we. got going here? I'm soft right now. >> The affinity people are good people. You. need to know that the Affinity people. are good people. Let's talk about great. people. There has been a semifinals list. put out about the greatest of all time. Go ahead, Dud. >> Oh, yeah. Well, let's see. I got to put. you on the spot here, too. Played a. long, long time in the league, nine. years. Not sure where we're at with year.

10. if that's, you know, still up in the. air. But I got to get you to pick five. of these guys that's going to get into. the Hall of Fame. Not sure if you can. see the names up here. I know a couple. for me. Teammate Vinnie, Robert Matis, Larry Fiser, obviously first ballot. Drooper, he's probably first ballot. Luke Keequley, but those are probably my. five, I think, off the top. Who do you. think's going to get in this year with. this finalist list? >> Oh, what a spot to be in right here. I. can read half I can kind of read half of. the list. Luke Keequley like that to me. Luke Keequley, no matter what. That That.

was my That was my king growing up along. with you too, AJ Hawk. Um, of course, >> dude, we're talking about the Hall of. Fame. All these guys are great. You ask. me on any given day, any time of the. day, I be like, "Yeah, that dude, he. seems like a Hall of Famer." I have. absolutely no clue who should get into. the Hall of Fame. Uh, yeah, Drew Brees, hell of a player. Philip Rivers, hell. Frank Gore, Larry Fitzgerald, Jason. Whitten, Luke Keequley, Rodney Harrison, dude, I have no clue. That's above my. pay grade. I never played at a level to.

where I could even flirt with the idea. of the Hall of Fame, even though my five. years will be coming up here very. shortly. So, that'll be talked about, I'm sure. >> Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. >> But I have no clue. I have no clue. They. all deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. >> You never know if you'd be a Hoffnom, brother. You never know. Be a Hoffnom. You know, >> never know. >> I'm a three-time Hoffnom. I think I. think they felt obligated strictly. because I'm on a microphone. Now, talking about that, one of the Hoffnoms. this year was Mr. AJ Hoff. AJ, get back. to the semifinals, but we'll get there. next year. >> We'll get there next year, AJ. And uh.

obviously, anytime your name is. associated with any of this, it's. special. And I think we all hold the. Hall of Fame in such high regard. I. think it's one of those things that. every player has respect for. And. whenever you watch these greats have. emotional moments whenever they're told. that they're going to live on forever in. the hall, it's a beautiful thing. Impossible task figuring out who. deserves to go in and who doesn't. deserve to go in because it's like Phil. Rivers. is like a starting quarterback in the. NFL, a very good one for 20ome years or. whatever the case is. WHAT DID HE WIN?

WHAT DID HE WIN? IT'S LIKE A LOT OF. GAMES. NO, that's what I'm asking. I'm. not asking about that. I'm asking about. Super Bowl. And then you skipped right. over one one person. You were reading. that graphic. Skipped over Eli Manning. Willie C did. Willie C just skipped. right over Eli M. Go ahead. >> That wasn't intentional. Eli, I'm I'm. I'm on the show right now for my phone. So, the ones that are bolded, those are. the ones. But that's a whole another conversation. His final record. What's his final. record? And it's like, who cares? He's. Eli Manning. You don't think he should. live on forever. It's like, Bruce, how.

do you view the Hall of Fame? Obviously, you've been around a long time. Your. name's going to be up for it. You're. going to be in conversations about it. for the rest of your life, whether. you're in it or talking about going in. it, which seemingly becomes a thing. What are your thoughts on the Hall of. Fame and how it should kind of be. handled? >> Yeah, it's the ultimate. I mean, when. you when you I've sat in that crowd now. for like four or five years because I've. had a guy go in the last four or five. years and it's just amazing. What a day. and you know to see the families and. everybody there. Uh obviously Ronda. Barber was my last one and and he's like. my nephew. So um yeah it's it's a Hall.

of Fame is that's it. >> How about them voting? What do you think. the thoughts are? >> Yeah to me that's when those guys get in. there and start fighting it out. You got. to have a hell of a guy representing. you. I have found that out. If you got a. meek mild guy that's your reporter. that's you ain't getting in. >> I said that for a while. >> Yeah. >> You got to have a dog. You got to have a. dog in there fighting. So, we had we've. had a guy who I think everybody has. respect for. Obviously, his name now was. on the. >> the media room or whatever, >> the journalist super duper area at the. Colts facility and everything like that. And obviously, I have respect for him a.

lot, but it took Dwight Freen a long. time to get in. And it's like, >> how is this even a case? And then I. started hearing the same thing you're. hearing. Well, at the table, the person. representing got to fight for it. It's. like, well, that guy doesn't really like. he put me on the That guy put me as like. the third team punter for the Colts. whenever he put the Colts together. And. I'm like, he's the one that's in there. I mean, me. I don't deserve to go. in there. But like anybody else that he. potentially has like just a little bit. of slight against, it's like he's the. one representing the entire I don't know. how that that's scary situation. Maybe.

we need to re-evaluate how these. decisions are made. >> Mhm. >> For all things Willie C. Maybe we just. have future Hoffnoms like Willie C get. the pen and start sending people in. Maybe that's what we need to do. >> I would love that. I I you whether it's. Heisman voting, Hall of Fame voting, I. would love to be part of all that stuff. Give me a pen and paper and I'll I'll. let something rip. >> I love that. Uh any NFL stories we. should talk about that you uh are really. keen on? >> Uh you won't like this one, but I again. pro chaos. Would love to see some chaos.

in the AFC South. I'd love to see there. there's an opportunity for the Houston. Texans and all the momentum that they. have to beat the Colts this weekend. I'm. not saying it's going to happen. I just. think Colts drop one again. A little bit. doubt coming in the locker room a little. bit. Uh Texans on an absolute heater if. the Jaguars take care of business this. weekend. You got three teams there in. the AFC South that again AFC South, nobody really talked about division that. division like as the season started to. unfold. But then you got three teams. right now who'd be one game away from. each other. And dude, I've been taking. beating after beating for my Chiefs my.

Chiefs take last week because I had the. Colts. I had Danny Jones just being the. guy to take down the dynasty. And yeah, you saw that right there. >> Yeah. Yeah. It would have been nice if. we put him away. Okay. And it looked. easy early, but to your point about the. AFC Southfield, Yates just kind of put. this tweet out. Colts play the Jags and. Texans twice in the final six weeks. So. you talk about chaos, it's very. available. Now, the Tennessee Titans. seemingly not even existing. You know, Cam Ward can make a couple throws very,

very well. Can they put anything around. him that he's going to have a great. football career? TBD for sure. But the. other three teams, to your point, really. taking off. Really taking off. And the. Chiefs might still be the Chiefs, brother. They're just not 100% sure yet. >> No, listen. They won a game. They won at. Arrowhead. The Chiefs, they're not still. the Chiefs. The dynasty will fall. It. just hasn't happened yet. >> Oh, I didn't know you're a hater. You. You're a Chiefs hater. You You You don't. >> No. Listen, I I appreciate greatness. I. respect greatness. Whenever their doc. comes out for the Chiefs, whenever that.

whole dynasty docu series comes out, I. will be right there on opening night. because I love everything that they've. ever done. >> But, you know, I like to have a little. bit of fun on the internet. It feels. like the Chiefs fans, you can kind of. you can kind of rattle them a lot of the. times. And so, um I always appreciate a. good little banter back and forth on the. internet. >> Okay. So, you're all right. I I respect. what you're doing here. >> Trolling. >> Yeah, just completely trolling. >> Just a little bit of chaos. >> Lane Theo Vaughn just said Lane Keifin's. trolling somebody. We just don't know.

who it is. >> He said every tweet he puts out is some. scavenger hunt into his mind and it's. like that's not a place you want to be. Who knows where he's going. What do you. think about Lane's situation? >> Dude, Lane has such an opportunity to be. the biggest hero of all time or the. biggest villain of all time. the way he. kind of maneuvered. I again, he he says. he doesn't know what he wants to do, a. lot of me just believes this dude might. just be making a decision on Friday or. Saturday. Uh but dude, if they win this. egg bowl and he comes out and says he's.

staying at Old Miss. Like me, I I would. love to see him go as far as maybe he's. telling LSU and Florida that he's coming. like uh when the game ends, he's texting. him like, "Hey, you know, these are. going to be one of my spots." Gets. Florida and LSU to believe. And just at. the last second, he announces that he's. staying at Old Miss. tries to uh tries. to take shots at his competition by. dragging him along in this entire. process and just stay home with Miss, he. would be the biggest hero of all time. But I'm telling you right now, if he. leaves and he break, he would be ripping. the heart out of the chest of Miss and.

they would hate him so much because it. would have went down in such an ugly. way. I'm hopeful that he stays because. again, Miss puts out their thing, hey, he's we're an announcement's going to be. made after the Egg Bowl. Then something. leaks on Sunday like LSU's prepared to. offer 90 million, hundred million, a. billion dollars to Lane Keifin. Seems. like, hey, he might be leaning that way. I hope it's just all a dragalong troll. sesh. He's trying to hurt the. competition and ultimately he stays home. at Old Miss. >> All right. I think a lot of people are. saying the same thing. I wonder if he's. listening or if he's already made up his. mind like Duds.

>> Already made up his mind. We know. And. we kind OF KNOW. >> NO, WE KNOW. AJ knows. >> He's out of there. See, >> I know. >> what Tate told everybody he knows. They. can't be too mad, Adam. Fans can't be. too mad. It's how it works. That's how. the game works. We know that Will. >> got it. >> Hey, Will, I want to ask you quickly. about chaos. You talk about that. obvious. Well, first off, a two-part. question. Brabel, are you surprised how. quickly I guess he's like the culture. has got into the New England Patriots. and how good they are? And second part, would you rather get punched in the. balls or spit on? Good question. On the.

football field, that is. >> Great question. >> To answer the second question, I'd. rather get punched in the balls than. spit on. >> Yeah. Uh, agree. >> Frael, >> I'm not surprised. Like, you just see. the way this team's operated. Uh, the. culture that that that's been like. leaking into that team. Like Stefon. Diggs is fired up after the games. You. got Henry the tight end, Drake May. You. have all these hot mic moments with. Vable and the way that everybody's kind. of talking to each other, the leadership. that goes on. And Drake May is just a. superstar right now. The dude, he.

operates well in the pocket. Super. poised. It never seems like he gets. rattled whatsoever. always seems like. they have the perfect touch on the. football. New England, man, they've been. I'm surprised that they are this far. ahead uh in the rebuild. I know people. hate to hear the term rebuild and. everything like that, but dude, it looks. like they're going to they're going to. win that division. I I still have them. winning the the division. It's easier to. say now. Was talking about them. upsetting the Bills back in September, I. believe it was. But they're in a prime. spot, dude. They're going to be. competing for the one seat in the AFC, which is nuts to think about. Like you.

talked about before the season, it'd be. what Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh. Allen, Patrick Mahomes. Who's going to. get the one seed in the playoffs this. year? Those four quarterbacks. And now. we're sitting here, it's the Broncos and. the New England Patriots. We're talking. about Bo Knicks and Drake May who's. going to get the one seed in the. playoffs. >> And Danny Jones. And Danny Jones. >> Jesus. >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. >> My god. >> After kind of an after, >> BUT THEY DROPPED THEY DROPPED. I'm just. saying the two two lost teams right now. It's the Broncos and the Patriots. I.

understand you had the the Colts beating. the Chiefs this past weekend, so you. looked bad publicly, so you got to hold. it against us all of a sudden. Just know. we still have Jonathan Taylor, okay? And. maybe he wasn't able to run for. against the Chiefs in in Kansas City on. grass, which people are starting to talk. about in outdoor stadiums on grass, >> off a bar. >> We're back in the lighthouse this. weekend. Just look for us to turn it up. >> Who you guys playing? >> Good team. A pretty good team. >> Tough defense over there. >> Pretty good defense. Yeah. Don't you. worry about the Houston Texans. Oh, I'm. not I'm not worried about anybody unless.

you're at the top, baby. >> Okay. All right, Willie C, we appreciate. you, man. Good luck on all your chaos. everywhere you go. >> All right, boys. Love you. Thanks for. having me on, Bet. >> You, too, man. What's the final score? >> All right. >> Happy Thanksgiving, man. >> See you later, bro. >> All right, let's pivot away from Willie. C football and let's go to BA football. Ladies and gentlemen, it's Tuesday, so. that means it's time for BS or no BS. with BA.

>> Now, BA, obviously, this has become one. of our favorite segments of the week. because you, a, Matt, with 47 years of. football coaching experience, tell us if. a narrative or a quote that is being. mentioned publicly is either BS or no BS. in your eyes. Let's get to the first. one. Christian McCaffrey leads the NFL. in receptions, carries, and broken. tackles. He needs to be in the MVP. conversation. Is that BS or no BS, BA? >> No, that's no BS. Definitely. I mean, what he's doing right now, anytime, like.

I always say, when you put your name in. the history of the NFL, he's got a. chance for a thousand on a thousand. The. only guy to ever do it twice. And uh you. know, after watching that game the other. night, last night, he's going to get the. ball enough. He's just hope his legs can. hold up. >> Everybody's talking about Jonathan. Taylor being the running back. That. would be in the MVP conversation. and. Bjon Robinson had a conversation a. little bit earlier. Christian McAffrey. hasn't really been a part of this convo. really yet until what I think today. whenever these stats started coming out. Is this been a Christian McCaffrey like. year? Like obviously he's getting the.

ball as much as he is. Is he going to be. able to finish? And uh is this Niners. team go as he goes? Obviously. >> it totally that offense is he is the. offense. >> so he is valuable. >> He's the offense. He and George KD and. George KD comes off of all the fakes to. Christian McAffrey, you know, and uh so. it's this guy is just amazing to me. Everybody thought he was too small. coming out. The dude's a horse now. >> He is an absolute horse. That band. workout, AJ, I don't know if you saw it. They showed him uh he had a guy holding. a band, strength coaching, gray band,

thick band. Oh yeah. >> Holding it and then he was just warming. up and it was just I was like, golly. It. was hard not to just notice that the. dude's bottom half is a horse. This. guy's an actual stallion and he has to. be I guess because of how many times he. gets the ball, how hard he runs, how. explosive he is, how many hits he takes, everything about him is like tough. football player, which is why we've lost. him a few different times to different. injuries and it's like riding Christian. McCaffrey is certainly electrifying. I. hope he can finish and can they be. another team that is a running backleled.

team through the playoffs, AJ? >> Yeah, I think they can just because how. versatile he is. He he's legit a. receiver and a running back for you. He. he gives trust me there's linebackers. all over the league that are terrified. that they're going to have to cover him. out of the back field. I just hope like. right here like when D linemen are. retrace and those are those big shots. that you eat and hopefully know those. guys don't land on him. Those are the. only ones I worry about. >> Dude, what do you think about Christian. McCaffry's MVP conversation? Because. they always say V is for valuable. It's. not the most best player, it's the most. valuable player. He's going to have the. most receptions and the most touches. running maybe in the league. That's.

pretty valuable. >> I mean that's that's insane. I found out. I think last night which most of us did. that he just leading the league in. receptions and carries which is nuts. The reason he h he kind of hasn't been. in the conversation I think up to this. point is because he hasn't had that year. especially on the ground where he's. averaging like you know five or six or. seven yards a carry. I think he was. around like four or less carry-wise but. he gets the ball so much in so many. different ways but he's he's. unbelievable. He can definitely beat. that offense is going to go as two three. goes for sure. >> Hambo stat here about him being the NFL. leader in a bunch of different stats.

here. rush attempts, receptions, touches, yards from scrimmage, you name. it. So, it's like Christian McCaffrey is. the San Francisco 49ers offense. And. then we got Brock Perie getting back. into form, regressing. >> in form. >> Okay. >> Okay. Okay. >> Because you didn't have a lot of hope. for him early. >> No. >> But Christian McCaffrey in the MVP. conversations, congrats to CMC. Let's go. to the next quote here, BA. Yeah, Bruce, with how this Cowboys team is playing. right now, if they take care of business. on Thanksgiving verse the Chiefs, they.

will make a run to the playoffs and. possibly win the Super Bowl. >> IS THAT BS or no BSBA? >> That's BS, brother. >> Come on. >> I tell you, if they win five out of six, that tie might get them in because their. conference record really is not they. lose all the tiebreers. And uh they are. playing really good right now. Uh uh I. think the happiest guy in the world. right now is Jerry Jones because. everybody's Oh, Jerry did the right. thing. A hell of a job with Quinnon.

Williams, but uh Dak's playing good. The. receivers, the offense is playing good. I mean, they got to win them all in my. opinion. >> or they're going to lose the tiebreaker. >> Okay. So, you're saying they have a very. very hard road ahead if they were to. make very tough. >> So, although we all like the way they're. playing right now and we might pick them. in a lot of these games going forward to. win, we think they dug themselves too. big of a hole early. >> Yeah. And I think the big one will be at. at Detroit. You know that I think that's. going to be a huge huge game for both. teams. >> Yeah. And that's prime time next week, too. They got Thanksgiving this week.

And then you know, you see right there, they got Cowboys at Detroit on Thursday. Night Football. >> Now, we will say we're very thankful. that the Dallas Cowboys are good at. football because they are going to be on. prime time television because Jerry. Jones is the owner and that is how it. goes. I think we're going to see very. good football from Dallas Cowboys. It's. going to be a classic Cowboys scenario. >> Yes. >> Like good football team just. >> can't make it. They weren't able to. catch up all off seasonason. We're gonna. say, "Hey, they're remember Dallas. Cowboys are a really good football team, even though they didn't make the. playoffs." Okay. And that's like. synonymous with the entertainment level.

of who the Dallas Cowboys are. They are. a show more so than a team at this. point. And right now, the show is very. good football. >> Absolutely. I think Ty said it uh. earlier in the week, like this is truly. a win-win for Dallas and Green Bay with. the moves that they made. But the thing. I love about the Cowboys since we know. they're going to be on prime time, win. or loss, like they're a fun team to. watch, especially with Dak is spinning. it and then the trade they made for. Quinnon. Obviously, he's dominant on the. field. I don't know if you guys heard it. or not, but it was a player after the. game who kind of talked about what. happened at halftime and kind of how.

Quinnon kind of took the leadership. role. And that's you don't you don't. hear that often with a guy who's coming. in, you know, six, seven, eight weeks. into a season kind of taking that role. and you could tell the team responded. being down 21 divisional opponent like a. big time pretty much playoff mode right. now for the Cowboys. So I'm excited to. see how this kind of final stretch turns. out. >> Yeah, I think a lot of people saying big. bro about Quinn. I think I already have. heard that from people around at the. defense and I think I heard Quinnon talk. about like how it's an interesting role. where he's like I'm a little bit one of. the older guys all of a sudden and uh.

I've played and I've been in situations. and I think his personality lends to. people to gravitate towards him from. what I've seen from Quinnon Williams. I. don't know him personally and Jerry. obviously brings in a guy who's now a. >> a magnet. >> of positive energy and experience and. they're setting that Dline up in the. middle for everything that Jerry Jones. has been talking about. You talk about. him being the happiest guy because he's. moves. George Pickins wasn't on this. team before the season started. He's now. on their team with a big time move. But. also, he might have hit that hundred. billion dollar honey hole naturally. We.

still have yet to get an update on that. honey hole that he was kind of. eyeballing that had hundred billion. dollars. The reason why I'm talking to. you. >> Wall Street Journal and not worrying. about Dallas Cowboys defense because. there is from my understanding hundred. billion dollars in natural gas three. miles down. Nobody's able to get three. miles down. I'm putting a billion. dollars up to try to get these pipes to. get down three miles to get a hundred. billion dollars in natural gas. That was. four weeks ago. Now he's back at the. game sitting in the suite. Did this son. of a get the three mi deep and.

find 100 billion while also figuring out. a football team? Well, I would say you. could argue that it might be the other. way around. He went down there and it. was just a septic tank that was pumping. and he was like, "Oh, Now I. got to go make a couple trades and and. shore up this defense. This is not good. people are going to kill me. I think. that probably lends itself for it cuz. now he is all in on the Cowboys cuz. guess what? He doesn't have hundred. billion dollars down there. >> I do not know what this exactly means. that Bruce is showing me, but some stock. is up and to the right.

>> Still bumping. We're pumping. We're up. and to the right. 40% this went up. >> Okay. All right. So, Jerry's living very. good is what you're saying. And his team. looks good. Who knows if they'll be able. to make the playoffs with how deep of a. hole they dug themselves in earlier. All. right. Let's go to the last BS or no BS. with BA. >> Yeah, Coach Drake May, Mike Vrabel, and. the New England Patriots are an absolute. wagon and will be the number one seed in. the AFC. And. >> and and. >> and. >> and.

>> and. Stafford, McVey, Devonte, Puka, and a. young defense full of dogs will be the. number one seed in the NFC. Is that BS. or no BS? >> And that's both sports. >> Yeah, exactly. >> That is no BS. Those both THESE TEAMS. ARE ROLLING. >> WHAT? THAT'S TWO DIFFERENT QUOTES. >> OKAY. >> WOW. THAT'S A BIG DEAL. It's historic. >> Wow. Holy. >> What's done in New England and Drake May. is playing lights out. And when you talk. about these young quarterbacks, you got. to be able to play from the pocket. He.

can play from the pocket. And then. Matthew Stafford, the fountain of youth. And then that defense is legit. >> Young defense, full of dogs, how we. described it. It feels like they really. came together last year towards the end. and they took the Eagles to the limit in. the snow. One incompletion or one sack. away from beating the Eagles obviously. and maybe becoming Super Bowl champions. yet again. Pukanaku is untackable. whenever he gets a rock ba. >> Oh, he's a big strong active guy and. then they do such a great thing. You. know, the one thing Sean always does, his receivers block. I mean, they block.

and they're they're really good blockers. and it sets up so much of that. underneath stuff that Puka and those. guys just they're run after catch guys. >> Tell me about Dvonte Adams on the goal. line. He has more one-yard touchdowns in. the history of the NFL than anybody else. at 15. They've seemingly found a cheat. code. Instead of the tush push, we'll. just put Devonte out there on an island. and let him have a two-way go. >> Yeah, he has a two-way go and probably. that little eye contact if I'm going in. or out. And uh you know, Mike Evans has. had that for a long time. He had it with. Tom Brady and it was like Gron had it.

just, hey, whatever whatever technique. he's playing, I'm going the other way. All right, block them all up. I'm going. to win. And Dvonte's been doing it for a. long time. time. He had it with Aaron. Rogers forever. >> That's a great And Stafford's not going. to miss. >> No, no, not at all. >> BA, your classic quote is Stafford only. guy go out to watch throw and warm up. >> Unbelievable, man. His arm is and he. still got it. >> Oh, he went into that trailer. >> Yeah. >> Came out throwing it better. That was BS. or no BS with BA. We appreciate you, BA. >> Uh show will roll on digitally here. Uh.

you know, we're lucky to be able to do. this for a living. It's on these. particular days where we get in the. dumbest conversations where I really. wonder why anybody watches, but we. certainly are very appreciative that. they do. AJ, isn't that right? >> Absolutely. 100%. >> And there's not really a time to ever. tell people like, "Hey, you work your. ass off. You should spend money on stuff. that we are selling because that's just. very rude. Everybody understands how. we're doing as a company, where we're at. now versus where we were." But we. currently have a 25% off sale happening. at store.mshow.com.

because we're in meaningful football. season. >> Exactly. We are in meaningful football. season. So 25% off the whole store. Do. not feel obligated. We are okay as a. business. But if you would like to rep. and say hello and everything like that, we'd be very grateful. We have a lot of. things and that speaker is actually kind. of sick. The helmet is actual Rudell. sports helmets and we'll be signing a. bunch to send in kind of randomly. ALL. RIGHT, HAVE A GOOD ONE. We can Yeah, we're over. Yep, that's it. >> Feel like I really nailed it. >> Oh yeah. Are those fulls size helmets?

>> Mini mini helmets. So, we have um I. think there's a few hundred of them. We. will randomly send an autographed one. with uh some of the orders of the. helmets. I don't know how many we should. do. I don't know how many we have here. versus how many are at another place. We'll randomly sign 20 of them. >> There you go. >> Okay. We'll randomly sign 20 of them. Uh. no, we will definitely sign 20 of them. Then we will randomly send them to. purchasers of the Riddell mini helmet or. whatever. So then you could have two.

helmets. One of them will be signed. instead. >> Oh, yeah. >> Or we just replace the one that they. bought with a sign. No, they should get. a blank one, too. We don't know what. they went through. >> Yeah, they want to bang their head. around, bang, put on their cat's head, and run them into the walls. >> Yeah, let's get that be sweet. >> We should send them a blank one. >> Yeah, we. >> Yeah, cuz they already bought a blank. one. >> Boom. Then you can sign it for. >> Yeah. So, we'll send 20 of the ones. randomly throughout people that purchase. it. Shout out to Redell. From what my. understanding, they reached out to us. like, "Hey, we want to make some. helmets.". >> Sweet. >> Yeah. And there's legit. They uh. >> Oh, yeah. actual helmets in there, which.

is awesome. Very thankful they did that. Got some golf polos, hats, couple flags, t-shirts with a little thing, and then. the back has for the brand on it. Couple. Pat McAfee Show things. Very, very. grateful for anybody that reps our. in public. And obviously, there's not. always a good time to rep our in. public. I'm in public as me. It's not. always a great time. You know, there are. certainly times where things oops, you. know, a little something happens and. then all you got to do. But we will. certainly be grateful to anybody that. reps our and uh 25% off everything. in the meaningful football sale and from.

my understanding the back end shop 412. folks should be pretty good. >> Okay, >> here we go. >> Very good. >> I think the quality is all good but I'm. saying like the logistics of. >> distribution. >> taking order, fulfilling order, sending. order, receiving order. >> Sure. >> That whole process. >> a lot of fun. Mhm. >> That's a really fun process, you know, especially when you're dealing with. warehouses and people who don't give a. >> if your company looks good or not.

>> This one from my understanding, shop. 412, people went to high school with. them. They are very excited and eager to. do it. So, let's lean in a little bit. And it's good We got some really. good. >> The putter head cover is awesome at the. bottom of the screen there. >> Yeah. And the bag is awesome. I mean, there's a lot of really good. They've put a lot of work into thinking. of things that would be nice and also. that we use. So, like I actually. use this stuff whenever I'm traveling. So, like I'm very thankful for that. 25%. off everything. Hopefully, you'll be. able to purchase it. If not, uh we're. okay. And if you don't want to buy it, we understand. If you want to make a.

knockoff version, all right, which got. my mom used to wear uh Indianapolis. Colts jerseys from a different country. far far away. Uh that had my name on it. cuz it was 20 bucks as opposed to $299. You do what you got to do for your life, okay? And have a great Thanksgiving. Let's take a break on the other side. We. got so many things we got to catch up. on. >> Oh yeah. >> So many stories that we need to talk. about. >> Are we talking soccer again? >> I hope. >> Are we? >> Did we play again? >> We had a full conversation.

>> about how we got to show the sport. respect. >> Yeah. >> World Cups in like 10 months, isn't it? When is. >> so far away, >> but also so close. >> Bur Halter plays on Saturday night. >> then in Vancouver. Okay. >> Never mind then. Listen, we will watch. Bur Halter, please. >> Mhm. >> Lamar plays today. >> Why can't he play for the Sounders. though? >> Vancouver. >> That does suck. >> No thanks. >> He loves it there. >> Oh, he does.

>> Does he? >> Yeah, he said it in the interview. >> Actually, I guess he was playing for. another team in America and he lost his. love for soccer and almost stopped. playing and he went up there and he fell. in love with soccer again. >> Didn't go too well at Austin FC. >> I wasn't going to call it the place. Gumpy wanted Gumpy. >> I mean, come on. It's McConn. What. happened? I don't know. Sometimes it just doesn't. match, doesn't fit. Sometimes you're. going through something in life, maybe. it's not the right time. Then you find. the perfect place, the perfect time, perfect situation. You take advantage. and that's Bur Halter soccer.

>> Get him down to Miami. >> Oh, we need him playing with Messi a. little bit actually. >> Yeah. >> The only issue is Messi on the field, Bur Halter will not hit any free kicks. We do need him to get very comfortable. hitting free kicks. >> And Messi might get a little jealous. Yeah, especially if he takes a shirt. off. This guy's unbelievably handsome. >> He is playing with Thomas Mueller, legend from Germany at Vancouver. He's. unbelievable. >> One of the legends of the game. He's not. going to hurt you. >> Isn't he a bit long in the tooth? >> Tomas Mueller.

>> Yeah, he's unbelievable. >> He's like the ragnau of the MLA. >> Do you know Guten Todd Mueller? >> No, sir. >> He played for Bayern. >> Okay. White's whole season turned around. when he went there. Didn't he win the. World Cup with Tony Cruz and Ozil? >> Yeah. Meth. >> There it is. >> You guys are just FIFA. This is straight. from FIFA. >> Oh, yeah. Glory days, baby. >> I remember watching that. Yeah. >> It's awesome playing. You're watching. >> No, no. Watching the World Cup back. Yeah. I mean, like I said, when World.

Cup comes around, I am highly invested. >> Yeah. And Ozo's got some Mr. Bean in. him. >> He does. >> Yeah. >> I used TO LOVE OH, WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY. WONDERFUL STRIKE FROM ME. IT IS. What. was he an Arsenal guy? I could. >> He went from Real to Arsenal. Yeah. >> Boom. >> Who's that now? Who's the voice now of. this world? >> It better be Ian Daka. >> You tell me, Gumps. Is it Ian or not? >> Yeah, he'll be out there. >> Yes. >> Will we be able to hear him? Cuz I know. we get forced to maybe listen to the. nonexciting ones cuz I always have to.

hear every other country's version of. our goal. >> I only watch soccer on Telmundo. >> Boom. Spanish is one. >> Yep. Same on FIFA. I change the language. to Spanish. First thing I do, >> but I think the French even hit a big. golaso type situation. I I think they go. crazy. >> I wouldn't know. >> Ian Doc is returning for the World Cup. for 2026. >> What was old buddy's name that used to. be for the WWE? His name's Kevin. He's. an Irish lad. He went over to Apple. I. think he calls soccer. >> Oh, >> Vanam. >> No, not Rob Vanam. I don't I don't think. >> Fisherman, not KV.

>> Oh, Kevin Vanam. Sorry, not him either. >> Kevin, is that his name? >> Yeah, >> that wasn't his WWE name though. He had. a different WWE name. He is a I think he. loves soccer. I think he's very very. good at this. >> He does all the pregame stuff for MLS on. Apple. Actually, >> I think I've heard him call the game as. well. >> Yep. >> Good energy. >> Yep. >> But once again, has accent. >> Sure. >> I think we kind of need that. >> You do. >> Can we get Joe and Troy? Maybe Herby and. Al. I I think they they might be even. suited for a World Cup game. >> Let's put Herby up there. >> Yeah. He loves soccer.

>> Loves it. >> Heard they were close to scoring, >> right? >> Close to scoring. >> No, they weren't. He said, "Oh, almost had it last night. was when the US team was like we were. talking about it on the show right now. if he is watching, which there was a. good chance." He would text me and say, "Enough. Enough." So then we started. talking about soccer for something. I. think it was team USA was playing and uh. I he was texting me enough and then USA. played and I saw him the next day. somewhere and the first thing he said to. me was not hello, not good to see. I.

hadn't seen him in months. He was like, "They almost scored one last night, right?" And I was like, "What are you. talking about?" He was like, "Socker, we. almost had a happy time." And I was. like, "You're such a asshole.". But that is how a lot of Americans feel. about soccer. It's like, "Hey, there's. not enough success here. There's not. enough reason to celebrate." But I want. to let you know, Poncho's dogs, this US. men's national team that's about to take. the next World Cup. There's going to be. a lot to celebrate. >> We need a cool nickname as well. Like a. lot of these like international teams. just have cool nicknames for the team.

and we don't. >> Can you give me a couple so I know what. >> the for Italy? >> Yeah. Like stuff like that. What is. happening? >> What was Netherlands gum? >> Oh no. >> Aran. >> is blue. >> Laur stuff like that. We need like we. should just we we need ponchos, dogs, t-shirts. >> We should be the we should be the. saboturs. That was usually my name. growing up on certain teams. Like the. high school kids gave it to us. We're. the sab we're going to sabotons. >> I don't mind. >> But it's not our language though, right? Sabotur. >> Yeah. If we're doing nicknames, let's be. like the big dongs. Like why don't we.

why don't we have like a sick. >> sick nickname instead of like a color. So allegedly, allegedly we were dropping. um magnum condoms. Do you hear about. this? >> Boom. Punches magnums. >> Allegedly in war there was an entire. group that was uh put together to. deceive the enemy. Okay. Like deception. things, whether they were the ghost I. think there was a ghost army that was a. bunch of production people who were. building like fake. >> and everything like that. Inflatable. barracks and everything like that to. kind of set them off guards. Like we.

were trying to chess in 4D. Allegedly, the story goes, we flew over and dropped. magnum condoms all over the place to let. them know like, "Hey, this is what. you're fighting against.". >> Yes. >> This is standard operating procedure. over here. Yeah. >> And given what we now potentially know. about Hitler, that would make sense why. we made quick quick work of the Germans. >> Oh, yeah. He was. >> Yeah, he had a micro penis. So, we're. dropping magnums and you know, >> lemon lemon shaped. Don't forget lemon. shaped. >> He walked out there, SAW IT. NINE.

>> YEAH, EXACTLY. SO MAD. >> WENT RIGHT TO HIS bunker. >> and took the poison pill. >> See, that's what I'm saying. That's. that's what we got over here. You know, we got the next the next level thinking. >> Poison pill. Punches. Poison pills. >> Punches. Big penis. >> Yeah. Punches. I don't know if that. >> been called the American dream in the. past. >> See, I like. >> I like that. Not bad. >> What's the best we've ever done in the. World Cup? What's the best like. >> second elimination round? >> Quarterfinals. Uh when Tim Howard. >> second elimination round, I think It's.

not bad though. >> That's quarterfinals, dude. >> Top eight in the world. >> American dream. We should be the. American nightmare and have Cody Rhodess. play goalie. >> We could just do ponchettino for the. lyrics. >> Pentine. pentine. Pa punch pantine.

YEAH, CUZ YOU CAN HIT the O at the end. >> Yeah. >> Oh, wait a. >> Yeah. >> Cody Rhodess playing goalie in a full. suit. >> Yeah. And then halfway through the game, changing suits. >> Yeah. No, you're right. You're right. I. got. >> striker. Let's put him at Let's put him. at center back. Oh, a a Cody cutter when. someone's going up for a header. Bruce. Bruce. Bruce, >> I don't like the angles that.

Bruce is taking with these. >> This was the best we've done in the. World Cup. We tied England. >> This guy's a proation. >> Why does it say win? >> Why don't. one? This is Bruce making fun of. >> advanced out of the group stage I. believe with this tie against England. It was monumental moment. US. men's soccer even close to the best. moment. can't listen to the. >> listen just know soccer is going to be. big in America because our American team. is going to be really good and we've. gotten a chance to now meet them through.

the concave pod everyone we talk to we. like them and as somebody that grew up. in the soccer world boy it's easy to. spot whether or not somebody's one of. the soccer players that you hate or if. it's a soccer player that you like feels. like everybody that we have on our team. right now are people that we would like. America would like this Luna dude yeah. right I mean. >> yes exactly and they all feel Like I. think they'll have chips on their. shoulder which is like yeah let's yeah. let's try to. >> just go start not like just take out the. other team's best player the first. couple games somehow not nothing dirty.

just like a good clean. >> what do you want you want to punch him. in the dong is that what you want to do. >> no no run just you can shoulder him. right or hip check whatever you do when. you're playing soccer. >> I heard you ask uh Will Compton that. question and we had been having similar. debate over here. I don't know if you. had gotten any texts from anybody about. the responses. >> Uh embrace debate spitting face punching. balls. Uh you asked Will what he would. rather receive. What do you think is uh. considered worse? Spit and face I think. is the natural answer that that is the.

most disrespectful thing. Is that how. you view it as well, AJ? >> Yeah, absolutely. Spit and face is much. Yeah, I debut said it earlier. Like it's. definitely multiple steps worse than. getting punching the balls. >> What do you think about the punching the. balls deliberately happening uh there. last night? >> Yeah, like I I I just Yeah, I don't. know. I don't I wonder what his thinking. he was down there. was getting blocked. in the back. All of a sudden, he got the. little cast on. I see he throws a good. clean shot. I mean, sometimes, you know, you get caught up in the moment and that. was just that's how he responded, I. guess. But it's I can't say I've done. that on the field, but you're right. You.

mentioned it like I grew up in that era. as well. Like you got to protect. yourself when you're around dudes and uh. I guess I never expect that on the. football field, though. >> Yeah, you never protect yourself out. there on the field. Didn't think anybody. be punching in balls. Now, that's bottom. of a pile. You know, I know what you. guys used to do down there, AJ. I used. to tell stories about what you guys used. to do at the bottom of those piles. You. too, D. But. >> yeah, that's not real. >> Definitely agent. >> Yeah, there was a game I was watching. the other day when they said the ball, you know, there's a pile up whatever for. a ball and they said that ball's changed. hands five times by now under that pile.

I was like, "No, it has not. Trust me.". Like, there's no way it doesn't happen. >> So, I I think I've told this story. before. We kick off to the Dallas. Cowboys uh at home, Cowboys return, fumble happens, scrum, I'm within five, seven yards. I'm like, "Fuck, I've never. been a part of Apollo before." literally. in the moment think to myself, "Oh, I've. never got to do this before." Dive in. Okay, dive into the end. Get hand on. ball. Okay, get hand on ball, but also. on another hand. And then I thought to. myself immediately, what the am I. going to do now? Like, I'm going to grab. this from this guy. Yeah, right. The.

ball didn't budge at all. And then all. of a sudden, I do start getting. >> I start getting shots to my forearm. I'm. like, "Oh, that's my drop hand." Like, I. am in a bad spot right now. I like. immediately get out of there and I'm. like, "What the what was I thinking I. was going to do in the bottom of that?". What you were saying I think is the. truth. Like normally whoever's on it is. going to end up with it, but that person. is going to take some. >> change. twice. >> Yeah. Maybe once early in the scrum. It's not like, hey, they've been down. there for four and a half seconds and. the ball's changing hands again. Like.

no, whoever kind of has it first, then. you can kind of get swiped away and then. you just got to deal with people. punching at you, hopefully not probing. you and doing things like that. >> It's always the person that is either. lost the ball or has the ball that is. getting all of the action. I I think. they think like everybody in the PILE IS. LIKE, "ALL RIGHT, TIME TO GRAB CHEEKS, PUNCH BALLS." I I I don't know if it's. like. >> worse feeling too like especially like. obviously defender get an interception. returning it, boom, then you fumble it. It's like, "Oh my god." Like you try to. get in there, but if you're not first, second, maybe third in there, you got no.

shot cuz then guys just then you just. got to deal with the weight, you got a. couple thousand pounds on you can't. breathe. Yeah, that's that's the. toughest part. It starts getting real. real tight in there. I uh. yeah, I fumbled once. I was down at. Hockey League My elbow. was clearly down against the Raiders. Okay, right here. I hit a circle button. It should have worked. I was told that. that would work in that particular. setting. Professional athlete tackled. me. That's crazy. But I was down. Hockey.

didn't blow it dead. That ball comes out. just full chaos on my ass just because. that's where the ball's at. >> Unbelievably uncomfortable. I I mean I. believe I thought I was going to break. my hips and my spine at the time and I. think I got a punch to the to the. hamstring I think at one point and it's. like this is out of control and I'm. looking up hockey the. whole time like I was down this thing is. dead. What are we talking about? It was. fourth down. Obviously it didn't matter. I gained zero yards but yeah we I don't. know if we we can just openly have. punching in the dick happening. >> No,

>> I don't think we can have that. I don't. think we can have that. No, >> if the guy has a ball in the bottle in. his Super Bowl. >> Yeah. >> Different. >> And if guys about to take a photo next. to you and he's just standing there like. this. >> back in our day, what we used to do. >> Yeah. What a terrible. That's tough. time. Honestly, >> just a little one of those. >> That's your brother. I'm the youngest of. three, too. I'm with my older brother's. friends. Like, good luck. I had no. chance. >> Literally, there was an entire. generation of people that felt obligated. to walk around like this. Like, are you.

timid? Uh, no, actually complete. opposite. Just would like not to get. punched in the balls by these guys. This. guy right here will punch me in the. back. >> So, just walking in the hallways just. passing by. >> I know. We never did that, but I have. heard that there was just random acts of. ball tapping. >> I've only been associated. in my area. I'm not going to speak for. everybody. >> Just the the sly. That's the only thing. I've been part of. Now, I've been told. that one of uh our high school friends.

walked in the other day and uh to. somebody's house. He hadn't seen him in. a few months. >> Walked in, fake the hug, ball tap, then. hug. >> I mean, >> so that's. that was me. And Joe Hadley ball tapped. me. That was that was us. That was us. >> What's his business, Tony? Would be a. good time to get him back. >> He's he's always been a bully. Him and. Nick, that's how they were raised. They. would stuff kids in lockers and slap. books out of their hands and ball tap. kids in the hallways. That's just who. they are. >> Now, I will say. Hadley is a bit handsy. You know, Had.

I've watched Hadley walk into a room. There's been a group of four people that. he said hello to. Every one of them left. worse than whenever he started with him. First guy, full dap up. Boom. Shoulder. elbow to the chest. Good to see you. Next guy, double slap of the hand, then. to the face. Breaks watch and smacks in. the face. Next guy, big hug, picks up, back crack. Yeah. M and I'm waiting at. the end of the line. Hello. Good to see. you there, sir. And just kind of move my. way out. So that's Hadley football. He's. Italian. He's, you know, he likes to get.

handsy. >> What do you mean by that? >> The Italians are are very handsy. They're very handsy. I mean, they've. been 67 since. >> Yeah. >> Just saying. Hello. >> Since the year 67. >> or seven. Yeah. >> Yeah. Six or Yeah, good point. >> Yeah, you're right. 100% right. I've. been learning a lot about all that. Nope. Let's get to a break. On the other. side, we got college football. conversation. We got game balls that. BA's got to give out and uh obviously. more conversation about what's okay and. what's not okay in our eyes.

>> Okay. >> Cuz obviously. the cast that punched the balls last. night has his side of the story too. >> Mhm. >> Jamar Chase, he gave an apology to. everybody. Did you hear that? >> Recently. >> Yeah. He put a he put an apology out on. his social media and he apologized to. the Steelers as a whole for sure. And I. guess Jaylen Ramsey does fall in there. But he did not say Jaylen's name. Put a. lot of words together which we're we're. very thankful for. To my team, fans,

Bengals organization, Steelers. organization, and the NFL community. That's a great first sentence. >> Yeah, it is. >> I could see Jamar Chase sitting at his. computer. >> Mhm. Going to my fam, to my squad, to my team. fans. the Bengals. organization.

and the NFL community. Oh, the. Steelers organization. and the NFL community. Did I miss. anybody? >> Nope. That's everybody. >> Nailed it. >> Please know I'm speaking from my heart. How do How do we really let them know. that this is real. >> and that this message isn't coming from. somebody that's not me, >> that is just associated with me, >> maybe hired to do this type of thing. >> Well, this one's coming from my heart. >> Yeah, for sure. >> We're here.

>> Take full responsibility for my actions. during last Sunday's game. All right, that's all we need to hear. >> Yep. takes full responsibility and. apologizes to everybody but Jaylen. Ramsay specifically. We move on. Let's. stop the spit. >> What if that's what he actually had. first and then somebody looked at it? No, no, no, no. >> Come on. >> We need more. This needs to be 300. words. What was the old rules? 500 words. for essays and. >> Yeah, probably 500. >> What years were that in school? Does. that still happen to you guys?

>> Uh oh, it happened to us. Yeah, we we. had to do and honestly kind of turned. into pages and they cracked down on all. the gimmicks like the big periods, the. double spaces after the end of. sentences. They they cracked down on. those. >> The double space after the period is not. a gimmick. That's just how the English. language. >> I'm talking double spacing as in if I'm. right physically writing the sheet, you. know, skipping a whole line. >> Oh, yeah. Well, that's cuz you're an. artist and also your words hold a little. bit more value. So, obviously one line's. not enough. And 12 font is I think what. they decided on was being good. I didn't.

like that at all because you could. always sneak 13 or 14 in there. >> Oh, yeah. 12 and a half. >> Especially with those plum teachers. because they're so hung over while. reading that thing at that time. Not all. of them. I don't want to cast. judgment upon every one of them. But you. get what I'm saying. And they know what. I'm saying too. Nowadays, they get. catching. Chat GPT would be tough not to. copy paste and send that thing. >> Mhm. >> Oh, no. They got a lot of AI detection. >> Yeah. They're very good at that now. >> Yeah. Use as an outline. You can do. that. >> Pretty simple. >> Chat GPT outline. Then you write your. own through there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Are these kids learning anything?

>> Probably not. >> The ones who want to are. >> But do they know more? >> Yeah, I mean they have more at their. disposal for sure. But do you know less. if you don't know what's a fact? >> Are we more informed. >> or more gullible? >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice might change your life. >> It's deep. >> We're back on the other side with more. deep deep deep sports talk. Take. >> fight.

Batters Packers are the original. football teams. >> Longer history than those two. >> It's a century. >> It's a Yeah, you can't argue that. >> Except in my lifetime, North Carolina. and Duke have almost always been good. and often the Bears and Packers were. not. >> This is this is an incredibly I think. the criteria we we didn't really discuss. the specific rivalry criteria. One is. that that there's something meaningful. in some his some historical precedence.

One is that they're good. Otherwise, no. one's watching them. >> North Carolina hasn't been good for. years. >> North Carolina is more. >> North Carolina went to the final four. shasheskies last year. >> Okay. They're never they're they haven't. been unbelievably good as long as the. Bears haven't been unbelievably good. >> No. >> And this is a history.

And now I'm. here in my Thanksgiving pot episodes. nowhere to be found, even though it was. maybe going to come. And I didn't know. it was potentially going to come until.

just moments ago. >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Connor and I. were absolutely floored, taken aback. when he said, "Yeah, I've pulled all. financial backing." So, >> Mr. K. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, we fired up the. group text, the. >> I thought he's the one that paid for. season two. That's what we thought. He green lit it. initially and was just like, you know. what? >> Actually, >> I'm going to have to pull all financial. back. I don't know if something's going. on in a different sector that he's kind. of. >> Hold on, Foxy. Cuz we allowed Mr. Kim to. purchase the pod, right? Is that not if. you recall? >> Exactly. I trusted Mr. Kim. Definitely.

>> No, Foxy is a member of a Pontiac like I. and so he has had to watch the entire. thing kind of take place. And me and him. have been bummed out through it all. But. for the good of the pod, we let this. happen. I remember you guys were pumped. for Mr. Kim. You remember that? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And I mean it's very similar. actually kind of to the chair company, Tim Robinson's new show. The, you know, leading director on the mall just kind. of came back and he said, "I want to. scrap this whole thing. I want to. completely redo everything we were. planning." So unfortunately, uh, I think. there is going to be a little bit of a. redesign. Mr. Kim did mention he really.

wants to hear more from Mitt McMahon and. Debbone. So I don't know if that means a. new cast for the I don't think it. doesn't sound smart. You guys need to. claim a little ownership over your. I guess I've taught you absolutely. nothing. You got somebody that we have. never even met before bullying you boys. And you know what? In turn, bullying the. Pontiacs, which me and Foxy don't. appreciate. >> But see, we trust your judgment. So, you. gave him 100%. >> OH, YOU GUYS DID THIS. You. >> We didn't give him anything. We You gave. him 100%. >> No, Foxy, that's not how this went. And.

did Mr. Kim say where all of his money. went? Cuz we knew he had a lot of money. when we trusted him with the pod. >> Yeah, exactly. You guys trust him with. the punt just like we did. >> Pocket watching Mr. Kim, what he does. with his investments and his financial. situation. >> He's very good with that. None of my. concern. You know, >> it sounds like you guys are getting. catfished potentially. >> We could be. It was a phone call. It. wasn't a FaceTime. I didn't actually see. his face. >> You guys need picture fork Apple. You. need to set scene with the today's. newspaper. We need a photo. You guys are.

getting catfished. >> Well, we know that even those things can. kind of be wiggled around. I don't even. I don't even want to go into Yeah, exactly. >> Which would have been a great topic on. the pod. >> Mhm. a country running it, you know. >> I We got a We had a whole year mapped. out. So, we got to go all the way back. I mean, >> you guys got non-compete. Can you go. somewhere else? Can you do it somewhere. else? Like, >> Mr. Kim, man. >> What? >> He's the best in the business. Why Why. would Why would we leave something that. we. >> logged in with Kim? You do not leave. >> OH, GUPPY. WE DON'T NEED TO HEAR CANADA. GETTING involved in this conversation.

That's right, though. >> Let's move along. uh college football. playoff committee will release its. newest college football playoff. projections off of their rankings, nobody else's. It's one of the most. important things that happen through. week- toeek basis in college football. This group is going to set the 12 team. playoff that is going to start at 12 and. countdown to one. Ladies and gentlemen, LET'S HEAD TO HAMMER DAD AP TONE. OBVIOUSLY, you're a college football. author multiple time now at this case. What do you think the college football. playoff committee is going to roll out.

this evening? And how do you think. Hunter is going to do as the chair in. the interview post with Reese Davis? >> Yeah, this week was a difficult week to. predict. Um, oh no, it wasn't actually. That's the same exact bracket that the. committee did last week and every single. team won. So, they have an easy bracket. if they want to. Hunter just come out. tonight and say, "Hey, Reese, everybody. won." Nothing changed. The one thing. that that could change was obviously. Oregon had the biggest win this week of. these teams. They beat USC at home.

versus a ranked team. So Oregon maybe. could maybe go to six. I don't see them. maybe go to five. I don't see it though. like or we've talked about this since. the very first week. I thought the. committee didn't love Oregon because. their lack of quality wins. Um so but. they did get another quality win. So. maybe they do something with Oregon, but. other than that, um, all every every. team that was in the playoff last week. or the predicted whatever that they put. out won. So I I don't see I don't see. much changing tonight.

>> Okay. So we assume that Hunter will be. able to come out and just reiterate the. stats that he had from last week. Is it. kind of chalk the rest of the way if. this happen? I mean, I know top four are. going to play against each other. We all. assume. >> And then Texas Tech's got West Virginia. >> Yep. which. >> don't sleep on it. >> That's in Morgantown. >> Yeah. Spoiler. >> Yeah. I mean, that's. >> What's the line? >> Uh 284 and a half. >> Wow. Right now, >> Mountaineers are favored. >> No, it turns out. >> no Pat a lot could happen.

>> It's the other way. >> Holy. >> Go ahead, John. >> There's still a lot that that could. happen. Like when you uh Foxy, can you. go back to that for me, please? Yes. All. right. So, Ohio State obviously has. Michigan. They haven't beat them in four. straight tries. Um they've been the. number two seed in every single time. that they've lost in the four straight. So who knows what happens uh there. Uh. Indiana's Purdue, that's probably going. to be a win&M's got Texas at Texas uh in. a rivalry game. So something could. definitely happen there happen there&m. needs to win to get in the SEC.

championship. Four, Georgia has Georgia. Tech now. Have they looked great? No, but last year that game went to eight. overtimes. Um Texas Tech does have WU. that we talked about. Um who's number. six? Old Miss has obviously the Egg. Bowl, so you know, another rivalry game. Uh they're only six and a half point. favorites on the road road at. Mississippi State. Good team. Oregon's. got Washington, another good team. Um. that'll be a tough game there. Oklahoma's hosting LSU. Um LSU is a. really really good defense. Like so and.

Oklahoma's offense is very very iffy. So. if it's a defense battle, anything could. happen. Notre Dame goes to Stanford. Uh. probably not going to be a great game. there. Then Alabama's got. >> they got the axe back. >> I know they do have the axe back and. it's a 10:30 uh Eastern start. So maybe. tough start time for Notre Dame. And. then Alabama's got the Iron Bowl, which. is going to be a tough one. And Miami's. got to go to pit. So there is a a lot. that can happen this week. There's. there's not a lot of easy wins for teams. that are already in or in the playoff.

bracket as we as we look right now. >> Shout out to college ball. Shout out to. rivalry week. Uh shout out to Rushmore. on X giving their best sports rivalries. Al Michaels obviously uh cost this Ari. and Ben rattle off the sports rivalries. throughout the history of sports and. which four need to be etched in stone. forever. It's a great episode of. storytelling and great sports history. Uh obviously with Al Michaels and Bob. who basically been on the call for all. of these things. Uh so it's a special. episode and rivalry week is a cool. thing. Like this is an awesome thing.

that college has and does in all these. games. Not all of them. One of the a. couple of these teams will pound the. other team. >> for sure. >> and they will dance in their face and. hopefully they won't punch them in the. balls or spit on them. >> That is what we're all hoping for the. rest of football as we go. But there's. going to be a lot of crazy outcomes here. just strictly off of emotion. That egg. bowl, Old Miss, Mississippi State will. be fun to kind of follow along with. that. That'll be a fun one. And Texas, I. see some people picking Texas to beat&m. very confidently saying, "Hey, Texas,

this is uh when they get them." Arch. playing his best football. Elco and the. boys need to peak. Obviously, they're. heading into the playoffs. I uh Oregon. Washington, after watching that Oregon. team and meeting that Oregon team, I. feel like they're dogs this year. You. know, the Indiana loss is obviously. something that's going to happen. Indiana was a very mature team at the. time. They were ahead of schedule. I. think they were playing great ball. I. think Oregon's doing the same. And is. this the year for Ohio State? >> Oh, buddy. 2,187. days. That's an interesting stat that we.

just got shown here from Bruce Brown. Just. >> a while. in Ohio. >> One more tomorrow. >> What's that? >> There'll be one more tomorrow. Right. You can add one to it. >> That's right. Tomorrow will be 2,180. >> I don't know. I don't know what the. original number was. >> Eight. And then the next one will be. 2,180. >> nine, I believe. Right. >> Yep. And then the next one will be 2,1. >> 90. >> That's a crazy one. When you go from 89. to 90, you know, that's the one that can. really trick you, you know. That's There.

it is. >> Thanks, Bruce. There you go. Bruce. >> age. >> Why is Bruce a Michigan fan? >> Family thing, I believe. >> My grandpa worked for 45 years in a Ford. factory in in Detroit, Michigan. My dad. grew up in Dearbornne, Michigan. >> So, >> okay. >> Does that answer it for you? Why don't. you ask another student? >> It's a family thing. It's a family. thing, I guess. When they when they win, Bruce is always talking about Michigan. When they're losing, I never hear him. say anything. >> Whoa. >> You're saying he's a front runner with. Michigan Wolverines? Is that what you're.

saying? >> I don't know. I don't know. I just don't. I It pops up at at, you know, moments. every once in a while when something. happens with Michigan. >> Did you know him 2,188 days ago? >> I did not. I don't think so. Did I? I. don't know. >> So, things have been very good since. you've met Bruce Brown and since you've. known Bruce Brown. Maybe that's why. Bruce, I like that you're a Michigan. Wolverines fan and I like the Michigan. Wolverines take credit for the Ohio. State Buckeyes national championship. last year. >> I like that they think that the Ohio. State Buckeyes just cannot beat Michigan.

ever again. And I appreciate the fact. that Ryan Day has had to deal with that. as a national champion. His team is. number one in the country and he still. has to answer questions about Yeah. What. what are we doing about Michigan this. year? What are we doing about Michigan. this year? It's special, man. That's a. special thing to have. Age sucks if. you're Ohio State in this situation. You. haven't beaten. >> No. Ohio State, you know, over the over. the the the course of the rivalry. Ohio. State feels very very good about where. they're at. No question about that. Especially even, you know, these last. four years, we understand what's. happened. Michigan's done a great job.

They're a great foe, great rival, but. that's that's what it is. That's what. makes college football awesome. Like. these games, and there's a bunch of them. this week. >> National Championship, big deal, right, for the Ohio State Buckeyes. >> Huge. >> They lose to Michigan again. You think. that propels them into another national. championship run? That'd be a- okay. Okay. With people in Ohio or. >> No, I don't not think that would be a. okay. You better go run the table again. if you if you don't figure this one out. But either way, it'll be uh Yeah, it'll. be it'll make everybody a lot happier. obviously if Ohio State gets a win here.

>> Two score favorite. >> It's a lot of points. >> Yeah, that's a lot of points. >> for a division game. >> Yeah. What was it last year? Like 20 21. >> That was a bunch last year. I mean, we. saw I don't know if you watched the game. last year, Will Howard, I mean, he was. comeomaos on the field for 20 minutes. and then he got up and sprinted up down. the sideline and played the rest of the. game. Like, he got smoked and came back. I give him a lot of credit actually. >> Yeah, he's a dog. What What happened to. a yunk? There's no over there. >> No, he was playing in 1997 for most of. that game. >> Oh, well. >> Yeah, >> he might start this week.

>> We know what the over there is doing. >> What's that? >> A lot of Steelers fans want him to start. this week. >> I'm okay with it. >> You guys Aaron Rogers is your. quarterback. What do we. >> What's it matter? >> Also, I want. >> Still in the love for the league. >> Also, I need to say this because I'll. get attacked. Um cuz people think that. I'm putting Miami in the playoffs. Um, if SMU and Virginia both win, they're in. the ACC championship and most likely. going to represent the ACC. >> And you are trying to predict what the. committee is going to do. This is not.

your actual We need to make that a. little bit more clear. I think this is. Tone trying to predict what the. committee is going to do tonight off of. the results that happened this past. weekend. Correct. >> Yes. >> See, I got a problem with that one. When. you beat Notre Dame head to head, you. got the same record. Head-to-head wins. >> Okay. So that is the conversation about. last week's one is what do they care. about head-to-head wins? When did the. head-to-head win happen? What about your. other losses that you've had, not just. that particular game? I mean, there is. so many different outs, which is why. they'll never get the right answer.

>> It's crazy. I don't mean. what's bigger than headto head. Why do. you play the game? >> That's why I play the game. >> Who's better? >> The guy that won. >> Okay. >> Yep. >> Since when? the beginning of time. >> Beginning of time. >> since they started keeping the score. >> of anything, the better one is the one. that wins. Now granted, they can say, but in a playoff situation, in a neutral. site with this particular action with. where this team is now verse where they.

were when that game happened, which has. been happening since the beginning of. college football kind of rankings, I. think, which is a part of obviously. >> Totally. >> Yeah. Virginia Tech's about to be back. in all this though. >> In a heartbeat. In a heartbeat, baby. But we got to get. the near back on the schedule. >> The West Virginia Mountaineers. Yes, indeed. >> I don't think you want that, brother. >> Oh, yeah. That's You don't want that. That's going to be a GOOD ONE. >> YOU DON'T WANT THAT, BROTHER. >> NOW, on that note, uh James Franklin. going to turn you guys around, you. think? >> Oh, quick. Quick. I mean, we had more. four stars on campus this past weekend.

we probably had in 10 years. >> And then you guys lost, right? >> And we lost, but five of them committed. >> Oh, because they saw the vision. They. see what it's possible. >> They saw they saw Sand Man and. everything else that happens there. >> Oh, how was it? Was it a great weekend? >> It was a good one. Yeah, it was. >> Who said Theo Vaughn said I was at. Virginia Tech. That was the most. coordinated fan group. I couldn't even. imagine coming in there and just seeing. like your gladiator type buildings, Jeff. >> It's Yeah, with the core cadetses and. and and the marching bandits. It's a. very unique situation. >> And James Franklin is a dog.

>> Oh, he's he's owned that state. He's own. Mid-Atlantic recruiting now for the last. 10 years. >> I see. I've never. >> Nope, not going to say. You got to think. that conference is pretty getable, too, when Virginia is the big bad wolf. >> Yeah, >> if you're a kid coming in, >> Virginia's not the big bad wolf. No, >> right now they are. >> Mario Crystal Ball's there. >> Yeah, but they there's a chance it's. going to be Virginia and SMU in the ACC. champ. >> Brett Lashley's a problem. >> He is. >> Dabo Sweeney. What a beast down there.

That boy. Bill Bich in the ACC. >> And the story is. >> Manny Diaz, >> Duke. >> Where's he end up at? Who knows? The. story is Virginia Tech is going to be. good again. Congrats to you guys. >> Yes, indeed. >> Congrats to you guys. >> Let's get you out of the Big 12, man. Get you back with us. >> You don't want that. See, I don't like. the way you're kind of saying that you. would like to schedule us cuz that's not. good for you guys. It is good. >> He didn't say kind of. He's pretty seems. pretty adamant. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. But he's not saying it for the. good of rivalry. He's saying it sounds. like cuz he wants a dub. Is that what.

you were saying? >> No. No. Cuz it was such a great That was. like the rivalry when I played. >> Yeah. >> We didn't play Virginia that often. We. played West Virginia. That was it. West. Virginia and Florida State. >> So the people at WVU told me because as. soon as you said that and I was like, "Yeah, I never got a chance to be a part. of except for we had Virginia Tech at. home. I never got to play there. It was. at the end of the scheduling. I never. got to play down there. Sucks. That has. to be an electric place. Especially. because they make you stand out there. while they're doing it. So like while. they're doing all their you are.

standing out there just kind of waiting. and feeling. I think it's a real. homefield advantage. Like I think it's. actually a weapon, especially. >> Oh yeah. But nothing compares to the old. Mountaineer stadium. >> Yeah, brother. >> Cuz it was always mountaineer day when. we played them and they passed out. chewing tobaca and the spit all. over you WHEN YOU CAME IN. >> OH JEEZ. >> Keep your helmet on, boys. flying out of the stands. >> You were walking near their splatoon. >> That was where they their splatoon were. What' you say? >> Throwing batteries. Yeah, they used to. do that. >> Who? >> Mhm. Bush league.

>> Where? >> Mhm. Right out there. I didn't have many. good times out there. We were good. against you guys. We were really lot of. >> night games like a Thursday ESPN night. games. >> Yeah, we were good against you guys. We. had a lot of highlights, a lot of good. moments. >> Pat White depleted four of your guys, I. think. >> Yeah. Now Yukon and West Virginia kind. of go opposite directions. >> What do you mean by that? >> You're just talking about ACC. We. all year against ACC. We got Heisman. finalist. We got a Bitnikov finalist.

>> Who? >> Heisman and Balitnikov. Which team? Back. to back. None. >> You have a You have a Heisman family. member playing for Yukon right now. >> Oh, yeah. >> What's the guys Mikey Heisman playing? >> Joey. >> Joey. >> Joey Heisman. >> He's a member of the family. Like, how. far removed from the Heisman family is. >> No, no, no. He's playing quarterback for. the Yukon Huskies. right now. >> And his last name is Heisman. Why are. you bringing up Heisman? >> I'm I'm going to I'm going to make his. last name Heisman until he's in New York.

and he gets it. >> So, he's not a relative of the Heisman. family. What are you saying? You're. saying he's up for the Heisman award? >> Yes. >> He's going to win it. Deep is saying. yes. >> A YUKON QUARTERBACK IS UP FOR THE. HEISMAN right now. >> Joey Fenano. >> What's his name? >> Joey Fanana. >> Oh, I've seen this guy on the internet. >> 31 touchdowns, one reception, and. >> it's pretty good. >> He He probably not going to go to New. York, but the wide receiver is actually. up. He's the one of the three finalists. for the Blitnikov. So, Debb is right. about the wide receiver, too. Oh, so I.

would like to let these two incredible. football players. >> Skyler Bell is the wide receiver. >> Like to let Skyler Bell know that it was. cute what you did at Yukon. >> Jimmy Marty is doing a hell of a job, too. >> Oh, yeah. Him more backtoback nine nine. win seasons. >> No. >> Mhm. >> They need to come to West Virginia. >> Stop it. No, >> they. need to come to West Virginia. >> Nope. >> Mr. Fano needs to come down there. Back. up Scotty Fox. >> Yeah, you don't need a QB. So Scotty Fox.

can play quarterback and Mr. Fano can be. the backup. Mr. Bell, obviously we got. an offensive line that's brewing. We. love to throw you the rock. Are you guys. going to be able to keep these guys? >> I hope so. >> I hope so. You know, the state of. college football is tough. >> Independent. >> Ohio State's throwing that ball to Bell. next year. Oh my god. Julian saying. back there. Oh, who who's the blitoff. winner guy from Yukon? Yeah, he's part. of Buckeyes now. And. >> that's uh his 13th touchdown of the. year. That'd be great. That that sucks.

That's where we're at. If you would like. to say we're in the same boat, that is. where you would convince us that if we. were to create a bullet at either of our. schools, which it sounds like you might. have done. >> See you. >> I spoken. And I don't like that. >> I hate it. Yeah. >> I don't like it one bit. >> Running back for the Buckeyes right now. >> He's a really good ball player. Leading. tackler right now for Missouri. Really. good football player. These guys cut. their teeth in Morgantown. Now. >> it's. >> The hard edge boys.

who have come into Morgantown, they're going to feel pride building. that place back up to what it's going to. be. So other schools are going to. certainly give them more money and sell. them hard whenever they have their. success. These boys aren't budgeting and. that's Mountaineer difference. And. that's why you don't want to schedule. us. Okay. >> James Franklin's going to get those guys. in there. They're staying. >> Price is right. The deal is real. >> You might flip Kevin Brown. >> Don't keep your.

everything away from him. Kevin Brown's. a big time recruit. >> He's a bad boy. He's a bad boy. >> Yes, he Yeah, you need to stop. This guy. is a part of the Virginia Tech entire. thing. >> I'm not I'm This guy's actually part. This is tampering. We already signed. this. We. >> Nope. We. >> No signing. Nothing is on paper. Not. allowed. verbal commitment. >> This guy told us it was not soft. >> This goes way back to the 70s. I first. started college coaching. I'm recruiting. in DC and the guy he signed with Kansas.

State. Coach says, "I don't mean. DC price is right. The deal IS REAL.". >> NO, KEVIN BROCK IS A MOUNTAINEER. >> WELCOME to recruiting back in the day, baby. Well, nowadays it's even worse. I. mean, it's legal now. >> Yeah. Not worse, but better, I guess, for the player, but certainly a little. scary. Kevin Brown's going to flip. around the Mountaineers. He's got a hard. edge throw through. He's not going. You. see that? >> Kevin Yeah. Kevin Brown's papa and. grandpapa aren't letting him not dawn. the West Virginia Mountaineers. >> That's what I'm talking about. See that?

>> This is grandma's idea. >> It's a great idea. >> It's awesome. >> And I like how comfortable they were. with it all. Just spraying gas on fire. Do you see that? >> It's pretty good. >> Country You've seen They've done. it before. >> Mhm. >> Get that gas. There was one little kid. kind of doing it and then dad was like, "You know what? Give me this. THING. SHUT UP. GIVE ME THAT. THING." D it just huge. The fires that. they have built just from watching that. the amount of trees that have come down. everything else they have built. I would.

assume epic fires out there from the. looks of the comfort level. >> Oh, you can see them for miles. I bet. for sure. >> Oh yes. Oh, people gather around. I. assume there's music playing having a. good time boozing around that. >> Someone's playing the guitar. >> and he's a mountaineer. >> It might have been a little bit of. alcohol. Not him. Pop. >> Tim. >> Tim. Brian. >> Pops. Look. >> Straight edge. >> Yeah. Tim. >> Kicks. >> Yeah, he's locked in. >> Did you see that edge? >> Oh, yeah. I like your kicks. It's good.

>> Thank you. It's only getting better, too. Kevin Brown saying he's going to be. a mountaineer. I've been watching his. film. Did you see that? Me putting that. foot in the ground. >> Your quads aren't quite popping like. >> pretty good though. >> He's got great quads. >> Oh my god. >> You need to stop complimenting. Let's. move along. Let's get to you compliment. There it is. Just dumping the gas. You. know what to do with it. Do that thing. Do that thing. How about him saying we. got some connection issues. >> We got some connection problem. We're. going to get through that. Here we are. Yep. We're bringing couch burning back. to Morgantown. It's like, all right, I.

don't think you should actually do that, but we understand what you're saying. The metaphor is good times and success. like it was back in the day. We love. that. College football's crazy. The. college football playoff committee will. do their thing tonight. We will. certainly judge them on how they see the. top 12 teams. Now, let's get to uh some. complimenting of some NFL guys from BA. Ladies and gentlemen, as we wrap up this. glorious Tuesday, it's time to celebrate. a couple players who had epic weekends. for their teams. It's time for BA's game. balls. Let's start in the NFC. Bruce.

Audience. >> Oh, maybe the second best back in ball, if not the best, Jir Gibbs. Man, what a. what a day against the Giants. I mean. 200. what 19 yards of 45. >> receiving three touchdowns. I mean just. blew it open and get another about 70. yard run. >> right off the gut. >> I mean because he get more long runs up. the middle than anybody ever seen. >> Okay. So let's talk about that a little. bit. What is that? Because there's. people that are a little bit worried. about the interior of the offensive line. for the Detroit Lions, but it does feel.

as if Jir Gibbs is able to break free. through the middle whenever we're. watching the highlights. Is there a. thought on they're better run blockers. than they are pass protectors as an. offensive line or what is kind of your. take on that? >> Yeah, I believe that's the situation. right now. Their their pass protection. was very very leaky against the Eagles. especially up the middle and it is. against everybody. I think one thing. Detroit's problem is they have a lot of. sevenstep drops. They don't do a lot of. quick passing game. Everything's up the. field up the field up and they couldn't. protect against Eagles but they run the. block. They run block as good as anybody. in the league. >> Jir Gibbs pounding the ground so fast. I.

think he said 22 miles an hour he got up. to on the overtime run. Yeah, outrageous. speed for Sonic. >> Yeah, I think I saw NextGen stats like. the top five fastest ball carriers. He's. four of the five. I think Jonathan. Taylor was up there top uh number one, but he is so explosive. Like when he. hits the guy, I've never seen a guy. outrun angles like he does. Like. safeties, they'll be eight 10 yards. ahead of him and he just outruns it and. he he's like, "Look, >> not be a touchdown, D, but that should. not have been a touchdown. It's. unbelievable. The fact that he's able to.

score on that run is just crazy." I like. the moxy too to walk it in. >> Like this right here. Like if you pause. and you look at the safety, it's like, okay, it's an NFL safety. Like you gonna. at least get to a point where you can. push him out. >> He look like a punter kicker. >> He's just staring at him like, "Yeah, no." It's crazy like how he outruns. angles. You mentioned it up the middle, bouncing out, and he's becoming a threat. in the uh pass game as well, more than. last year. So yeah, it's going to be. tough to get Monty Knuckles more carries. with Zero doing what he's doing. >> That's a real thing. They got to stable. in the back field, you know, Sonic and. Knuckles. And then you get one guy who's.

just doing like historic How do. you handle it? >> You play the one that's got the hot hand. and uh and the other guy accepts his. role. >> Yeah. But you got to talk to him about. that. >> Oh, you got to talk to him. Yeah. I bet. you feed them, you know. Hey, I'll put. you in a goal line. You scored. touchdown. >> Get you a stat. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got you. Hey, we'll. get you a ton. We're sorry. This guy's. running all over the place. >> We'll get you a couple of ties and go. >> Yeah. Which I think obviously keeps. everybody happy. If you're winning, everybody's happy. So that's the NFC. game ball went to Jamir Gibbs who I. think everybody's impressed with. 256.

yards total or whatever the case is. Three touchdowns wins the game for him. Now let's go to the AFC. Who's got the. game ball? >> The Houston sack station. >> Oh, not the HOUSTON SPACE STATION. HOUSTON, WE DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM AT. GETTING TO THE QUARTERBACK in Denil. Hunter and Willie Anderson Jr. They're. special and they built their team around. them. That is. >> They got liftoff, BABY. THEY GOT. LIFTOFF. These two cats are coming off the edge. This Houston defense is legit. I mean, big time. Demo's got him really playing. >> Remember, they trade up to get Will.

Anderson. They bring in Denil Hunter and. pay him. The old Colts teams used to. have Dwight Friney in the Hall of Fame. Robert Matthysse, semi-finalist for the. Hall of Fame. I obviously would like to. see him get in there because of what. he's done. The most strip sacks in the. history of the NFL and an absolute. beast. Came through as a special teamer, small H.B.CU. I mean, just his story is. awesome. If he was getting in the Hall. of Fame, I think his stats would uh lead. to it. But also, I think the story is. awesome for football. But we used to get. a lead and then these two guys would. just take over the game. Feels like. Houston's doing something similar. >> Yeah, I think that's that right now. their offense, they're actually playing.

a little bit better with Mills playing. and uh if they get the lead, it's over. >> Why is this uh something that is. unstoppable whenever you have two guys? It's because you can't chip, you can't. slide, you can't protect. >> Well, if you're going to keep your back. and your tight end in, who the hell's. getting open? But nug all blocked up, nowhere to go. MAKES SENSE. >> All right, on that note, we appreciate. the hell out of you, BA. Happy. Thanksgiving, BA.

>> Happy Thanksgiving, BA. >> Uh BA, favorite uh side favorite side. for Thanksgiving. >> Green bean casserole. >> That's a little old school. I haven't. heard that. >> Oh, that's old Pennsylvania, baby. >> Oh, yeah. My mom, actually, she's uh I. want to say the My mom's a great lady. doesn't do a lot of cooking. Green bean. casserole though was always the play I. believe whenever it had to show up. Uh, are you a mashed potato guy? >> Uh, more stuffing. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

>> Mashed potatoes all the time, but. stuffing is perfect. >> Oh, special. >> I mean, >> yeah. He's got the right thoughts. Turkey or ham? Turkey, ham? Both. >> Both. >> Yeah, why not? >> Oh, yeah. >> Apple pie, pumpkin pie, >> lemon. >> Oh, merang. >> No mering. >> Okay. >> No mering. >> Okay. >> Just lemon. >> Have I ever had just a lemon pie? I. think I've only been presented with a. lemon mering. >> You could buy a couple lemons just take. a bite out of them like an apple if you. want after the show. >> That was an interesting That was an. interesting thought. Like do you. remember when people used to I'm not.

getting into it. Steo and Jackass. >> put it put the lemon juice in their eyes. like that. >> Yeah. They would just eat it too. That. was something you would do. So le was. the I thought the mering was the tasty. part. >> Nah, just a lemon man. Got to have a. little bitter taste and jump in there. >> What time we starting the eating? What. time is it? >> We were always about at 2:00. You know, go play football. >> Come in, eat, go play basketball. >> Hell yeah. >> Happy Thanksgiving. >> Eat again. >> Before we get out of here, we got to. celebrate something special, ladies and. gentlemen. A man who is uh. >> no.

>> really made a name for himself around. this Thunderdome. >> Mhm. >> A man who's slowly starting to kind of. roll into the country music business. >> Yeah. He actually released his first. award show awards list just a week ago. called the DBAs. A lot of people are. saying is that the douchebag awards? No, >> it's not the douch. >> A lot of people. >> that is the Debbone Awards. Okay. Debbone is a special talent. Debbone is. a national champion D3 offensive. lineman. And Debbone self taught himself.

how to be a graphic designer. And uh. Debbone has survived another trip around. the sun. >> Wow. >> It is Debbone's birthday. Happy. birthday. Happy birthday Debo. Happy. birthday. to you.

They got them all wrong. >> Yeah. Vocal support, >> especially if you ask DB of the DBA. >> I think next year he's potentially going. to put it a location and have this award. show actually take place. And we might. actually get a couple of these. attendees. >> Oh, maybe we've already set the scene a.

little bit for maybe next year. The DBAs. have a couple of these award winners in. attendance. And I do believe if you're. looking to win an award next year and. you say you'd come to the DBAs, I think. you'd win an award. So just something to. think about. >> Any of you aspiring young artists out. there. >> looking to win an award that nobody. really knows about yet. >> It's on the comeup. >> Yeah. >> Talking to you, Mr. Worthington. >> Cheese. >> Oh yeah. Love you, Jake. >> Yeah. All right, let's get out of here. Uh, happy birthday, Bone. For Bone,

maybe me and Foxy. give him a birthday gift. of a couple wins in Uball. >> No chance. Especially after them coming. to the back room when we have a. basketball court out there covered with. cameras and they were standing in a spot. that didn't have a camera. That was. insane. >> That's your department, bro. >> Happy birthday, Bone. >> That's your department. That's your. department. >> My god. >> I hard to avoid all the cameras there. Actually, if you try, it's hard to avoid. them really. >> legit. I think.

>> I mean, look at all that space. He's in. the one spot kind of that you can. they're in the bathroom. Basically, >> there's seven cameras that cover this. court right now. Okay, you're just. seeing one that we obviously cut. through. There's seven of them this. boom. >> There's security cameras. There is live. uh there's one up on the top. There's. one over here. There's one over here. There's one up over there. And. on this stage, obviously, there's like. 20 different cameras that we can kind of. turn and shape in every different. direction. Back there, we got four. cameras, I think. How many cameras do we.

have in the back there? PTZ. Uh, no, just the one, I guess. >> Just the one. We used to have uh two and. now just the one back. >> See, that's the problem. Debbone was. trying to point out something. >> He wasn't here when that one was here. >> No, of course, but Debbone's just. saying, you know, we need to find a. camera to find me. >> Got a couple blind spots back here. >> He did say there is a couple blind. spots. Happy birthday, Debbone. Thanks. for making us better. >> Happy birthday, Debbone. >> All blocked up. Nowhere to go. >> No, I said, baby. Bupnug. >> bupnug.
