October 29th 2024 this program starts. now football is awesome and week eight. of the NFL season wrapped up last night. in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania as as the. Pittsburgh Steelers cover and win by.

eight over the New York football Giants. we'll be joined by former Penn State all. big 10 tight end in current Pittsburgh. Steeler tight end Pat frier. m in about 10 minutes obviously they're. going into a buy we'll chitchat with him. about how the Steelers feel after a. massive dub last night and I'll tell you. what Giants R it until the very end now. there's obviously going to be drama. around the Giants because what D ball. said afterwards what what happened with. Daniel Jones we'll break that down in a. matter of moment but if you're a.

Pittsburgh Steelers fan you watch. Russell Wilson play on that field you. think to yourself we can I don't know if. you're going to win a Super Bowl but we. can win we can do some damage with this. particular team they can move to rock a. little bit Russell Wilson's dropping. dimes players are making plays van. Jefferson's coming out of nowhere we. need a number two wide receiver we need. a number two wide receiver well van. Jefferson will step up a 6'7 tight end. Darnell Washington out of Georgia has. been getting the rock in the past couple. weeks and Coach uh Fredo who uh we had. in Indianapolis is the tight end Coach. over there he's a dog a man he's been.

around the NFL for a very very long time. player and Coach he says listen we got a. guy who's 6'7 let's make him tackle him. then Pat FR with another tight end he. gets in on the action Russell Wilson is. utilizing everybody na Harris looks like. a brand new running back he's running. fast he's running hard he's running. quick big catches are happening there's. explosive plays holy hell are the. Pittsburgh Steelers about to go on a run. might be now we will certainly ask a. Pittsburgh Steelers dieh hard fan in. tone Diggs here in a matter of moments. but watching that Monday Night Football. game in the city of Pittsburgh show. going up in terrible tows obviously in.

abundance and Joey Porter senior coming. out and leading the wave and and cam. Hayward having a historic defensive. evening for his 20 second start for the. Pittsburgh Steelers I mean that's that's. a lot of defensive football over there. so historic night legendary evening in. Pittsburgh and uh the Steelers have a. team that could really go Russell Wilson. what he's been able to do verse Justin. Fields I got some hembo stats oh here we. go I got some hembo stats uh that just. got sent over L literally before the. program so I didn't get a chance to get. him onto a graphic you know our Graphics.

department is uh phenomenal here. targeting George Pickins M Russell. Wilson is averaging 13.2 yards per. attempt and 20.6 yards per completion. that's with the yak obviously Justin. Fields 8.3 yards attempt 13.8 yards per. completion okay now that was earlier in. the year Ry Smith's offense is brand new. to the Pittsburgh Steelers so everybody. was learning the offense including you. know Justin fields and everybody else. George Pickins as well so maybe a little. bit different story using play action. Russell Wilson passed for 7 yards.

against the Jets and 118 yards against. the Giants have to have N Run well yes. if you're going to use play action you. got to be able to do that Justin Fields. average 42.5 pass yards per game using. play action in his Starts Now was the. Run game going as much as it's going now. play action obviously vastly different. so every stat has a story you got to. talk about it but Russell Wilson has. seemingly made the Steelers much better. and then Steelers under Center uh. percentage by starter Russell Wilson 56%. of the plays under Center n gets a. chance to you know yeah Justin Fields. was only 42% Center place okay a little.

bit different and then yards per drop. back under Center uh that's gain Russell. Wilson 12.1 Justin Fields 4.3 so. everything looks better offensively with. Russell Wilson and Russell Wilson Justin. Fields having a good time on. side their friends they're getting along. I think this is a great outcome for the. situation that the Steelers put. themselves in whenever they bring in. both of these guys one for a trade from. Chicago and Justin Fields Russell Wilson. you sign him only pay him $1 million you. let Denver Broncos pay him the other $40. million that he's owed this year and a.

lot of people say how you going to. handle it how you going to handle it. Justin Fields gets in there because. Russell Wilson strains his calf in a. conditioning workout before training. camp even starts he starts winning games. starts winning over the city starts. winning over the team a lot of people. saying this guy can do things with his. legs that nobody else can do this guy's. a playmaker he's beloved yep Mike Tomlin. had to make the decision you know the. enemy are good is great we're looking to. be great we're good right now I have to. see what I have with Russ it's working. out let's go to one half of the hammer. down Cowboys AP Town you're a diard.

Steelers fan when you watch that game. last night what are your thoughts yeah. coach Tomlin couldn't have been more. right and I tweeted this I think it was. the second quarter after they had gone. just down the field easily three. straight times now they got bogged down. in the red zone three times a couple. penalties here and there um but Justin. Fields was good okay 4-2 but when you. watched it and they were 4-2 and we. always talk about it in here it's like. yeah we watch it and they're winning but. we know in the back of our heads can't. win a Super Bowl yeah not going to win a. Super Bowl probably not going to win a. playoff game but then last night like.

watching it with Russ it's like he has. just unlocked this offense and you talk. about how good NA has been Na's got. three straight 100 yard games but the. last two with r who who that's big deal. y they were not singing that tune about. Naji Harris obviously highly acclaimed. coming out of Alabama everybody thought. he was going to be a game changer this. is the next version of the boss Jerome. btis he's big he's strong he's fast he's. agile he can catch and it just didn't. work out for whatever reason was it the. offensive line was it the offensive. coordinator was it him was it all that. whatever the case now three straight. games it's always there always there.

congrats to n and there was another stat. uh it wasn't from hambo I I saw it on. the internet just like the amount of. eight and nine man boxes that NJ is not. seeing the last two games versus the six. games that he saw with Justin Fields. because defenses do have to respect. Russell Wilson and his deep ball and you. talk about his relationship and with. George pickings and how good they have. been George also has had like 300 yards. called back just on on penalties and. stuff like that two foots we learned. last night that foots do not equal both.

feet yeah [ __ ] and Jason Kelce um. theorized at halftime he said so so he. puts his right foot down twice on this. look at this almost more athletic to be. able BM BM left foot never touches the. ground crazy Ash cheeks outside one ass. equals 2 feet one elbow equals 2 feet. two foots do not equal two feet n need. both feet is what the rule book says so. this gets taken back think it would have. been first HUD a lot of people obviously. not thrilled about. and there couple other multiple.

touchdowns potentially that got thrown. out because of this particular happening. but George picks over the last couple. weeks has been must watch with Russell. Wilson yeah he's awesome so like the. whole offense has completely op opened. up like n GP far Muth who we talk about. uh Darnell Washington like everybody. like Calvin Austin last night had his. coming out party pretty much um van. Jefferson's been ever since this is all. since Russ has been back like it's it's. been unbelievable Art's Art's got his. full Playbook at display now like they. are doing Smith offensive coordinator.

sorry that's on me uh so everything. looks great the old line is very very. banged up and they're like even with. that they're the amount of 237 yards in. the first half uh last night Ry Smith. has three 4 400 yard games as the. offense coordinate for the Steelers uh. Matt Canada did that didn't do that one. time in 44 games as the offensive. coordinator in the last I don't know. whatever three years it was so different. team so what are you saying I I believe. I believe it when I look at it I'm like. oh this is what happened to that defense. though last night what's going on Danny. dimes is making all the big time plays.

that he needs to make third down. multiple times fourth quarter third and. 16 I think he hit one time on the pass I. think there was other third Downs that. they were picking up in the fourth. quarter in the fourth quarter we went up. when we went up um whatever it was 239. or whatever um and we're like oh. Renegade comes on okay. [Music]. oh they're twirling those STS renegade's. on the place oh my God they're twirling.

let's shut this let's shut this thing. down you get third and 16 right at the. sticks they make a catch uh two plays. later they're down the field and then. there's a 47 yard rushing touchdown and. we're right back in so the defense yes. pissed me off a little bit last night. because we had to stay up late because. we it came down they had they had two. chances uh on game winning drives but. before I said yes they pissed me off. last night the defense though they are. number two in points number nine yards. 11th on third down number two in the Red. Zone number fourth four Versa run and. fourth in takeaways so they they've been. great okay wi Super Bowl get it last.

night they pissed me off a bit but guess. who showed up like he shows up every. single game clutch situations not who. where when or how but when yeah what a. DJ what uhoh illuminor said hey leave me. singled up against him I'll handle him. uh or not okay strip sack fumble ball. game should have been ball game they got. the ball back again but no like this. full team the Special Teams is awesome. Danny Smith vote early Vote or Die vote. often Danny Smith for president uh I.

feel pretty good six and2 going in the. bu first in the AFC North yeah feeling. pretty good trade trade Danny Smith you. be for trade deadline days is coming up. next Tuesday one week from want to die I. think you should vote I think you should. write in Danny Smith for president of. the United States last five games. Pittsburgh Steeler special teams. obviously has a pun return touchdown. last night should have been called back. obviously for running into a funner. clearly I mean one of the clearest I've. ever seen and even if you didn't he. didn't touch him it's like you got to. give him a place to land like that's. part of the oh well we got to put a. pillow down for him now it is just the r.

it is the rules but with that being said. still an incredible return and uh Danny. Smith continues a hot streak I think. they have a block field goal block punt. block something uh uh perfect on field. goals and now a punt return touchdowns. like that's in the last five games so. special teams is obviously dominant. defense is going to be dominant whenever. and the offense is all of a sudden. looking like hey we should stay up and. watch this thing cuz you got remember. for about 10 years Pittsburgh Steelers. offense has just been Iowa Hawkeye. football right that's right that is that. is what is. just been no explosion not none of that.

and now it's like fun now on the other. side of the ball uh 9year NFL fed host. of everything DB good D bad D which will. be broadcasting later today Darius J. Butler is here Deb big takeaways from. last night you could obviously talk. Steelers anything we missed but also for. the Giants I everything tone hit on with. Russ and this offense his b like the. trajectory on his pass and obviously. bill came on yesterday and talked about. his deep Ball but just knowing the. different trajectories the receivers are. able to adjust and catch the ball he.

looked absolutely great Danny dimes on. the other side he didn't look bad he. made some big throws big big throws to. Slayton obviously we know big throws to. uh Malik neighbors who's an absolute. weapon think he needs to clean up the. drops a little bit and then uh it always. comes down to the last play with Denny. dimes the overthrow to the interception. and then we know TJ watt who you cannot. leave one-on-one especially in high. pressure situations now watching the. game I didn't know who that was on post. game pretty quickly we kind of figured. it out we get to the clip of day ball. kind of uh maybe covering his own ass.

here after the game on the chip play are. you saying Daniel didn't make the right. check are you saying it didn't get it. was no it wasn't a check uh he was going. you know pressure situation was the. clock we had a shift with the tight end. to get back over to Watt and we didn't. get to. shift so we talked about it in a we. talked about it in the locker room um. you know that's you know DJ feels. terrible be honest with you I let.

say there was a shift that was an. accompanying the play part of the he was. kind of seeing surveying the the the. coverage deciding what he wanted to do. and we didn't get the shift I forgot you. never forget [ __ ] so and they were. lining up with him in different you know. sometimes they were lining up with them. left a little bit more than a half so we. were we're making sure that if we put a. chipper there that he didn't line up. opposite so we were shifting to try to. get try to get the help where we needed. to get the help the guy who won the game. we we know that yeah yeah. what did you it wasn't a check actually.

it was actually just part of the play we. added it in the game because they. started moving TJ the other side and we. said hey if you ever see TJ on the other. side part of the play now just slide to. something over that's probably what took. place right absolutely definitely what. took place and you know a lot of times. in that situation coaches say oh got to. go watch the tape you know we'll clean. things up everybody makes mistake but he. would definitely wanted to make it clear. that hey the plan was to block 90 I mean. High Smith he had two as well but then. when it comes back down to that last. interception wasn't really any pressure.

in Danny's face just kind of threw it. off his back foot over single Terry's. head and the beanie Bishop who caught. game where he where Beanie Bishop West. Virginia third third interception I. think the second ever uh undrafted free. agent uh it Herm Edwards I think Tony. dunie I'm sorry to get what was that all. about coaches DBS black. guys good Lord can't have that happen oh. my all right.

yes thank. godz anyways shout out to beanie Bishop. jul shout out to beanie bishop junr and. shout out to West Virginia creating more. NFL Stars every single day yeah speaking. of a school that uh creates NFL. Stars Penn State okay listen this. weekend college game days headed up to. State College Happy Valley for a massive. noon game that I know everybody in Penn. State's all jacked up about yes they are. now obviously Ohio State coming to town. everybody's going want to show up and. show out but I think there is a sense.

maybe up there of night game yeah white. out. out are 110 whatever it is all going. crazy well it turns out that game's at. noon now you know so we don't have the. whole still cool still cool still cool. still can do the whole song Dan yeah. can't do the whole song and dance yeah. you can do some of the song and dance. some song Can't so there I think they're. a little bit like hey this a top five.

rival or top five matchup massive. rivalry here okay and we can't even put. on our full show but obviously Texas A&M. gets a chance to Showcase their whole. entire thing Alabama gets a chance to. Showcase everything they got going. Tennessee obviously has with there we. don't get to do that because our game's. at noon but nonetheless M that school. has created a lot of greats a lot of. Legends and there's one of them. currently playing for the Pittsburgh. Steelers fresh off a dub on Monday Night. Football ladies and gentlemen tight end. Pat. fire.

Mo what's up brother what's up guys how. we doing hey congrats on a big win last. night congrats congrats appreciate it. okay time um tone Diggs just went on a. full run obviously you know him he is. dramatic and ridiculous but in this. particular case he felt pretty calm and. cool feels like this is a team now with. how the offense is operating with what. the defense obviously is and special. teams of Danny Smith doing that that can. go on a run and do some magical things. do you guys feel that in that Locker. room and have you felt that all.

year yeah we feel good um you know our. goal was um after we lost two in a row. to get six and two at the buy um you. know we very confident right now uh. we're firing all cylinders playing very. complimentary team football and um Danny. Smith has those boys rolling on special. teams man he's he's got them rolling so. we're feeling good how's Danny feeling. his shoulder okay I heard he can't lift. up his arms to say a field goal is good. but he can certainly celebrate a little. bit yeah he's feeling good he uh he's in.

that rehabing some times in the training. room with us so he's feeling good let's. make sure we're getting him some toll. shots yeah let's make sure we're getting. Danny some tooro shots we need him all. year what an absolute Legend last night. part return Austin doing his thing let's. talk about your role in the offense with. Russell Wilson feels like the offense. has been unlocked a bit over the last. few weeks uh why do you think that's the. case and what have you seen from Russell. as the quarterback of the Pittsburgh. Steelers I think Russell has done great. uh he's come in and he's he's been a. hell of for us um you know he's he's.

pushing the ball down field without you. know putting In Harm's Way which you. know we preach about and he's helping us. make explosives I think he's putting the. ball in situations where we can go make. plays um as Playmakers um without. putting the ball in harm way like I said. so he's been awesome um great in the. Huddle um he's he's been good has he. given any sweet speeches yet because. I've seen some miked UPS where he's. actually said to people like hey Clear. Eyes Full heart so we can make this. comeback and I'm like damn I didn't know. that happened in real life yeah he's. like uh he seemingly is always on though.

right is that accurate Russell Wilson. yeah he's always on man like he's he's. never going to let you um you know. experience the waves of adversity. through a game he's always going to make. sure you're on you're on go and yeah. he's definitely got a lot to say in the. H for sure what was it like balancing. during the you know when Justin Fields. was playing and then Russell Wilson. conversation was taking place Pittsburgh. everything that happens with the. Steelers people are going to talk about. let alone in Pittsburgh but nationally. especially when Russell Wilson is. involved in in it was there any behind.

the scenes stuff that changed after. Russell becomes the starter or what we. saw last night between Russ and Justin. kind of status quo behind the scenes as. well yeah honestly not really I think. coach T's done a great job um you know. of of guing the team through um you know. his process and what his thinking was um. you know credit it really couldn't. happen without Justin and Russ and their. mentality you know when Russ was was. hurt and he wasn't able to go uh he. really helped Justin um in the offense. stay on track um tell us what he's.

seeing helping us out and then vice. versa when when Russ got the start. Justin's in there every single day. working hard continue his routine uh. being there for everyone on the sideline. so credit to those to I mean that's a. tough situation for any team to go. through um you know but credit to them. for for allowing us to um you know keep. going forward with it we try to talk. about the complexities of it all. especially in the football World about a. quarterback like a quarterback is it's. different like that position is just. different which is why when you tap out. of that position it is a different. conversation than everywhere else we.

don't have to get in yes yes you're at. football you understand you heard it and. I assume you were flabbergasted as. everybody else young he's going to learn. but the quarterback position is. different it is very different so. whenever there's two of them potentially. and Coach Tomlin knew that I assume so. the fact that he was as transparent his. leadership through it all is obviously I. mean you guys locker room always tight. is it it doesn't it feel like the. culture of the Pittsburgh Steelers is. always going to be tight whether you end. up winning a Super Bowl or a playoff. your team's always tight is that because. the culture that there or why do you. think that is yeah I think like you said.

the culture I think Coach T has done a. great job ever since I've been there for. this my fourth year just he you everyone. understands the goal of each week the. goal of playing for the the Pittsburgh. Steelers you know the expectations that. come with that the pride that comes with. that so he's done a really good job and. honestly credit to cam Hayward TJ Minka. like those guys that's been here for a. while been our vets really helping the. young guys learn about the Steeler way. you know all the greats that come in. this organization so you every time we. go in that field um even practice coach.

Steve you know kind of motivates you to. run through a brick wall like every. practice so you know credit to him yeah. palu really you know did it he took some. real happiness and joy from a lot of. people you know I grew up in Pittsburgh. during the palu era sure so obviously a. lot of happiness and joy was delivered. from Paul M but on the opposite you. don't think about the other side of the. field do you ever when you're in. pitsburgh well and then all of a sudden. you are on the opposite side of the. field and you're supposed to score a. touchdown and then his as just does what. he has been doing since he started.

playing football and he ruins your life. in front of your family yeah nobody. talks about that mess up don't nobody. talks about that anyways there's there's. something else that hasn't been brought. up I don't think even last night during. the broadcast goad debu yeah Pat you. guys were you just talked about being. tight uh how pissed were you not being. able to play on National tight end day. like I mean The Branding The Branding. and everything that you guys have been. able to do as a p petition group has. been great is there like a group chat. yesterday like hey we all going to go. off to day or Sunday we all going to go. off today and how piss you about not.

being here to play on Sunday everybody. loves Monday night but how pissed yeah. yeah I definitely unfortunate you know I. wanted to get on the holiday action um. the tight ends were eaten I think it was. like the most receptions touchdowns all. that for uh NFL Sunday but definitely. pissed off that it was a part of it but. um you know happy that was able to you. know kind of get the the Limelight on. Monday Night Football after the holiday. so it's all good but there's no group. chat no group chat no group whoa whoa. whoa are tight wait a second tight ends. don't like each other oh wait we have a.

right holiday oh wait a minute oh my god. there could be but I'm not in it so. we'll see oh no no you got earn it you. gotta earn it I got I gotta earn it I. gotta earn it guy got a new deal too. he's very rich his way into the group. chat what's that home though you you've. earned multiple commas all of a sudden. but can away into the group text oh my. God Kelsey's a little too busy these. days isn't he oh.

okay that is not that is not speaking of. tight ends though it's unbelievable. you're not on the group text I do not. like that we are not calling George KD. right now to ask you yeah should we try. and sell we are not call Greg maybe call. Greg Olson and see what the hell's going. on out here um why do you think the I. don't want to say I don't know I haven't. done enough history on the tight end. position I guess I probably should the. Resurgence of the position though. seemingly over the last last decade or. so is it the rules changes is it.

different athletes deciding to be tight. ends why do you think the tight end. position has become so valuable to every. offense yeah I think it's just if you. can get a good athlete at tight end you. know it's hard for a linebacker of. safety to match up with them in man. coverage or zone or whatever so if you. can get a tight end that can exploit the. middle of the field matchups it really. opens up the Playbook because they can't. just guard the sidelines they can't just. play the run you got a tight end that. can you know go vertical up the seams.

and really create mismatches inside so. um you know there's a lot of guys doing. that right now in the NFL so uh that's. probably why for sure how's your. blocking you've always been a good. blocker or. no uh I've been struggling I struggled. in the in the past but I think I've. already shout out Ary Smith for uh you. know you know kind of bringing me in and. putting me in situations where I can be. successful at it so really appreciative. of him and put him me in situations. where I can succeed on that note tone. has a question for you yeah Pat it was. about a year ago to the day that uh it.

was Halloween last year and I dressed up. uh as a devil a lot of people thought I. was dressing up as a former OC of the. Pittsburgh Steelers I wasn't it was just. the devil it was bad for Mo it was bad. messed up it was I'm not I'm not to I'm. not going to I'm not going to make I'm. not going to put you in a spot but you. just talked about art putting you in. good spots how has it been uh with Arty. Smith this year as the ooc as a whole. how how has he been with the. boys man he's one of the boys man he's. been great he's been. uh you know celebrating with us after.

wins uh he's been getting us Juiced up. ready to go um yeah he's been great he's. just he puts us in situations everyone. where we can succeed um he's really. thoughtful about the game plans uh he. puts us in um you know advantageous. looks to create mismatches and stuff so. he's been great and it's just it's very. relieving playing with the Smith he used. to get beers for the offensive line as. soon as right after WS back in Atlanta. and he was like no not in the locker. room I would never do that in the locker. room there's potential rules violate if. we do that in the lock group but he he's.

always been like that he's son of a. billionaire too it's like a his his. football story is so fascinating because. of everything else he could do like he. could have just kicked his feet up he. slept on couches in the Tennessee Titans. facility draw up cards get coffee for. football coaches like everything he's. done to earn his stripes I think he's. probably very excited to be back just at. offens coordinator role enjoying life. doing ball and it's showing out there it. feels like Mo shows it feels like it's. showing. yeah it is and you never know what his.

background or anything like that he. comes in he's part of the boys he hangs. out with us like he's he's un can't say. enough good things about him he's he's. hell of off first coordinator maybe you. do the mustache like him maybe you. should yeah you. should probably. not I got a chubby face without the. beard doesn't look oh He Man Yeah Yeah. understand we all understand hey Ty has. a question for you moose yeah Pat Uh we. heard that the the whole AFC North is. going to be on an inseason hard knocks.

this year have they started filming that. yet and have you noticed anything like. with that because Tomlin seems like the. kind of guy who would really enjoy that. whole process and kind of Welcome. cameras being in you guys' facility and. kind of in your face on a day-to-day. basis oh yeah Coach T loves it uh no I'm. K but uh they they they started coming. in a little bit just getting set up uh. last week and so obviously we're on the. buy this week so we won't see too much. of them but they're going to be there uh. right when we get back preparing for.

Washington so it is what it is we just. got to limit the distractions I'm sure. um you know Danny Smith is going to love. the opportunity of hard knock and maybe. we can just highlight him the whole time. but Che in the gum absolutely oh my weit. room he is shirtless in the weit room. he's a hey Danny's the man huh oh he's. the best man he's he's awesome he's. awesome he's a good coach too like it's. good he's from Pittsburgh so he's a. yenser he's a good coach and he's. awesome like has committed his entire. life to special teams and being the.

Steelers coach it's like what a legend. out there I'm happy to see him getting. some shine M legit it's big time man he. he prepares everyone um he it's funny. like we go in the morning we'll go from. a team meeting which Coach T talks like. for 30 45 minutes and then Danny Smith. will tell everyone to stay and then he's. talking for another 10 15 minutes about. stuff that Coach T just talked about so. he gets he gets the boys uh you know. inspired for sure him echoing Tomlin. sentiment after the team meeting all.

right special teams right here. afterwards just like Coach. T just like no for. real that is amazing does coach stick. around for the Danny Smith speech uh in. the meeting or is he out of there n he's. out of there he's got he's got some film. to watch I can't hey Danny make sure. that hammer that home I'm gonna get out. of here Connor has a question for you. yeah M it feels like this year uh more. so than last year also Darnell. Washington has been you know involved in. the offense more how happy have you been.

for him and is he one of the biggest. most athletic sons of [ __ ] you've. ever seen on a football field dude he's. massive he's his his playing weight is. not what's listed but I'm not going to. expose him right now but he is M okay. what is the one listed let's see what's. listed not going to expose him obviously. but we will certainly take some guess. he's massive like 264 I think it's. listed as. 264 listed got to be 29 29 93 67 yeah.

and thick son of a [ __ ] moving he's a. left tackle he's a left tackle but it's. funny like when he's lined up in we're. watching film and he's lined up in the. line of scrimmage like we assume he's. the tackle like we forget that he's the. tight end so no I'm super I'm super for. happy him he's he's thriving in this. offense um you know Art's been uh. putting him in situations where he can. make plays and I mean if I was a DB I. would hate to see him run full speed at. me so. what's coach Fredo like isn't one of his. lines like make him tackle you or.

something like I forget the uh I forget. the way he views it coach Fredo was. obviously go ahead make him tackle you. that's that's his phrase make him tackle. you because you guys are bigger. obviously stronger faster and even if. they do tackle you that's going to be a. hit that they have to sustain and deal. with Fredo is with us he's the man you I. assume you guys love him over there well. Fredo's the goat he uh he pushes every. day he's good to hang around with and. and crack jokes in the meeting rooms the. meeting room is very serious but un. serious at the same time so it's been. great that's a good culture speaking of.

culture we're going to Penn State this. weekend how's it going to be up there. going be sweet I'll be up there so I'll. see you there you're coming up oh hell. yeah I'm coming up I'm not gonna miss. this. game why didn't you say it that's like. AJ Hawk wow oh leaving ioa you're right. I you're right you're right you're right. do you guys do that to each other when. you see each other in public you get a. PR State thing on you go.

and then just walk no people sometimes. will be like we are and I'll be like. yeah pen St is super awkward why what's. your problem AJ does the same thing with. Ohio I'll go oh to him and he goes yep. you know it and then he's like cuz he. gets sick of it I think there's too many. of them is the we are the greeting yeah. we are GRE it be like we are and you're. supposed to say Penn State but sometimes. it just catch me off track right I just. forget and then is there a thank you and.

you're. welcome yeah so usually it's three times. like we are Penn State we are Penn State. we are at Penn State thank you you're. welcome all right real culture we have. we have culture at Penn State unlike. some other programs that we beat down on. you know what I mean okay let's talk. about the culture you feel like this is. the year maybe for this Penn State team. is this the year could be could be I'm. I'm hopefully Drew's healthy this week. Drew has to be healthy all shout out Bo. for coming in and and saving the day. against Wisconsin but Drew's got be. healthy and uh we'll see what happens.

I'm hoping so war is a dog yes. absolutely uh is that 44 yeah dude how. about that catch USC on a double throw. nasty 17 catches crazy that's a yeah are. you guys becoming tight end no no no no. what's that who's that Iowa sa. conference Fredo school close we're. close see we're close but he knows not. not not there yet okay well maybe if old. buddy keeps breaking records everywh I. think it will be his oh one guy yeah. sure him and mo yeah two guys hey were.

you there when James Franklin tried to. fight a fan when was that cuz it feels. like this is the best coach Franklin. that I've seen me personally I agree. like leg we've seen a lot of he's been. around a long time and like it feels. like all his bad moments were what was. being projected to everybody other than. uh Keegan Michael ke Michael key that. was like the only positive press that. jam Franklin was getting because it. legit for a long time but now it's like. the team top five here we go and. everything he's doing is seemingly good.

what would you say about Coach James. Franklin for those that maybe don't know. much about him like me for instance I'm. going up there this. weekend yeah he's like behind closed. doors in the facility he's very much. like he loves everyone in the on the. program um you know it's not like if you. produce for me you know I treat you a. different way than other guys like he. treats everyone the same way which you. got to respect as as a as a player and a. coach um he demands a lot from us but he. always going to um you know give you uh. favors and return so he's been he's he's.

a great coach great program guy great. culture guy and so he has has the team. team Buzz now for sure I heard some Penn. State fans not thrilled about this being. at noon and not at night you know. because the the white I did see that see. I selfishly I like I like the 12cl. because you can play the game you get. home you can maybe tailgate after you. can go out and celebrate we beat. Michigan my white out year and it was a. night game and it was like 12:30 and I'm. trying to go out and no one's out so. it's like yeah if you win the. celebration is a lot better after the. fact yeah from a players perspective can. we have some fun how about that you know.

you guys have fun all day oh that's so. fun oh that's you know what we're doing. we're in a hotel okay and then we're in. warm-ups in this entire thing all right. well good luck this week I'll see you. this weekend enjoy the byee and uh. congrats to your Steelers being great at. football right now and inspiring a lot. of optimism from Yin everywhere yeah I'm. very optimistic it's nice it's it's nice. um it is nice it is nice and if if. anybody ever sees anything I say it's. just in the he the moment and uh that's. just what was that to the locker room. you were saying yep I just said.

it yeah can relay that message what do. you see what do you see you this isn't. good I'm learning this I'm learning this. by the way especially we see it all we. see it all we see it all great that's. great well we've only talked good about. the Steelers so that's true n i mean. last year during Canada days that almost. ripped our he almost ripped our arms off. yeah you're right it's a whole new year. it's a different team different team we. appreciate the hell out of you ladies. and Gent.

P they do see it all everybody sees it. all yeah including H reic uh bill bich. came on a program yesterday and. basically says all right he's just. running right by tackles they're just. running right off him see you later this. guy all right and then obviously bill. bich has had some thoughts about how. Hassan reic has handled this all he put. a tweet out Hassan reck in response said. hey someone called Bill bich and give. him a job he's got like 10 jobs right. now on I will tell you seems like he's. home bored and can't keep me out of his. mouth come up for air white don't you.

didy what I don't know. that I don't know what that means I. don't know what that means we will there. was no pidan yeah I don't think Bill I. don't even know if Bill knows what's. going on with Sean CES I doubt it I I. don't know if he knows no dy I don't. what does that mean no D no is that what. he meant maybe it was auto correct from. smartphone that makes nonetheless he. said it there we we will continue to try. to figure that whole thing out at that. part but Hassan answering bill bich is. hysterical to think about because Bill.

bich everything he says every single. week we were just chitchatting about the. All bellich Team like that's going to. matter and for what uh son reck said he. needs to get dropped he's got like 10 of. them this guy's dropping gospel all over. the place Thursday he's got that team. coming out with the coach podcast with. him Lombardi and Matt Patricia how do. you feel about like the modern world and. how it's handled used to be don't listen. to The Press clippings yeah don't read. the headlines you can't respond to. everybody now it's like yeah see. everything you have to see everything. and obviously fire Mo said we see.

everything it's cuz they open their. phone and their algorithm says hey did. you see this this guy buried you and. they do it to me so it's like a. NeverEnding cycle of having to deal with. it how do you feel that plays into like. the this generation and how do you feel. about it as a whole do you like I I. don't mind a son reic answering yeah I. don't I don't mind players going going I. don't mind people men women whoever. handling and saying whatever they want. to say and putting their name on it. putting their name and face on it. whatever that happens it is what it is. you say what it is and you stand on it. obviously Bill felt how he felt after.

watching the tape and then hant felt how. he felt after listening to him uh it was. an incident like this with a Travon digs. right after the game like you lose a big. game on Prime Time against you know. probably you know somewh of a rival with. San FR and you coming out you know. coming at a a reporter who says. something about your effort so as a. player I didn't like it it was times. where I was just like wouldn't even. search my name on Twitter after because. I mean you can have a great game you. give one one first down one touchdown up. it's like cut this guy get this guy out.

of here so it's just something extra to. think about but these guys now playing. they've grown up their entire lives High. School College Pro with it so it's just. kind of a part of it now yeah I um I I. appreciate people responding and. answering I think in the in the right. time though you know just like in real. life like if you're talking [ __ ] to. somebody who is uh Superior to you at. everything like I think that's a bad. idea at a bad time like what's going on. with the Jets right now don't think it's. the right time for reic to say anything. get wi get a sack then I think you. respond just cuz you're coming from a.

point where you can actually have a. little leverage and maybe dunk on. somebody the digs thing I appreciate. that he saw it and said where is he he's. outside here I'm going to go do this. even though they just still on like open. his phone this mother this is the. interaction that happened outside the. locker room after go Ahad out that whole. plate after you took from. that oh it feels like we lost the sound. we lost the sound because the connection. we just searched for it and then on the. way in is whenever the best thing. happens whenever he says uh uh what.

about these nuts or something and then. walks in and then these nuts were. trending for 12 hours and then nice trip. down memory Lan of what these nuts used. to be in everywhere Society I mean so. clever people used to get so clever with. these nuts ones so I don't like that. digs just kind of forced it in there he. should have said hey why don't you tweet. about D next time and that guy who was. responding saying you didn't answer my. question didn't answer my question if. Diggs would have got him with a why. don't you tweet about D sometime he. would have I think yeah oh who's and.

then oh my God that would have been that. that would have been fantastic but it. does feel like a world where you got to. respond and uh if you don't respond and. everybody else sees what's being saying. are you look do you look soft it's uh. it's an interesting J we're obviously in. the middle of it right now with uh. Anthony Richardson right but yeah I. think in situ in situations like that. it's a little bit different when you. have a media guy like that who's showing. up at practice and after games and like. they'll rip on you and say [ __ ] and then. act like nothing ever happened and then. they want you to give them a good sound. bite for their story or whatever they're.

working on like you can understand how. guys are like no you can't just pop off. at the mouth talk a bunch of [ __ ] about. me and expect me to come in and treat. you with the utmost respect and you know. give you something good for like to help. your profession when all you're doing is. continually tearing me down so like. those situations I understand like. that's what Twitter has just become now. though you know like it used to be like. you'd go to a game and you just yell a. guy sucks and [ __ ] on him from the crowd. and and that was that and it was the end. of it and now in Twitter is like you. know what after the game like I'm gonna.

tell this guy that he sucks and and. that's just kind of how everything is. and if you do it in a clever way. everybody else who wants to tell him he. sucks is going to retweet that exactly. exactly and then obviously people that. didn't even know you sucked or think. that you suck are going to see this very. clever word Play Breaking you down and. then all of a sudden now a narrative. from the player side now a narrative is. getting built that I suck when this is. this one person's opinion in this entire. thing and from that entire play that's. what you took from it that's what Diggs. was trying to say so you're telling me.

you watch that play and me that I'm the. problem of that play and then you don't. know ball you don't know ball I was. responding that thinking about I sent it. to one person and I decided I wasn't. going to answer everybody I was saying. that to a lot of people that were Colts. fans yesterday who were very upset oh. yeah with the way we talked about. Anthony Richardson and they said we see. running backs tap out all the time wide. receivers tap out all the time D lineman. tap out all the time we need to nor iiz. quarterbacks doing it and let me tell. you you don't know ball yeah okay that.

that is just they didn't say that you. don't know ball people saying that yeah. a lot of Colts fans mad at me for saying. this and it's like hey Colts fans I'm. alongside the ride do you know when the. last time we won was long time ago so. whenever things like this happen it is. my obligation I feel as a Colts fan and. potentially somebody who could be heard. to be like hey this ain't it now did. everybody else say this ain't it yes who. are all the people that said this ain't. it people that know ball okay because. the quarterback position is different.

than every other position so whenever. you're quarterback the future of your. franchise a person was supposed to take. us back to the winning ways got drafted. number four overall that fourth overall. pick we didn't trade for we earned that. that's how bad our team was this guy's. supposed to be the future yada yada yada. you're not the future of a football team. especially at the quarterback position. if you're choosing to leave the game. choosing to walk off the field because. you're tired so if we don't point that. out I feel like we're doing a disservice. to Colts fans so so all you Colt fans I. appreciate how much passion you have for. Anthony Richardson being the future and.

I think he's an incredibly cool guy I. think he's a very cool guy I think his. rap good I don't think he's just like. good athlete rapper I think he's a good. rapper I think he's a cool guy I think. his little thing with Jonathan Taylor. was fun I think he's nice guy but also. he's quarterback of an NFL football team. you're a professional athlete brother. this is how this goes this isn't youth. this isn't High School this isn't. College where they were not good okay. they're like that is not this is the NFL. brother and we got a team that is very.

very good and we can go on a run so when. he plays great it's magical but there's. little things like tapping out that like. make everybody lose faith in this guy. being a guy because you've never seen. somebody that is a guy do that so that's. just kind of the reaction and I know you. were a little bit ahead of it I think. dbut but these Colts fans have been. coming after me because I disrespected. our quarterback it's like I feel like it. would be disrespectful if I didn't say. it like that's that's how I feel about. the whole thing absolutely it's like a. if you're coaching a player if you're. talking about a player if that's a.

younger player on my team and some of. his teammates and coaches said hey they. had a conversation with him that's it's. it's a reason why everybody who's been. around the game or talked about the game. had the same or similar reaction it's. not like we don't like Anthony richond I. love Anthony richond I'm rooting for him. young kid got an opportunity you got. drafted High you have the talent yeah. he's not like he's a [ __ ] bird where. it's easy like hey all right whenever he. mess up I'm just want to jump on this. guy but when we get on here we give our. I give my honest opinion and I'm. speaking how I feel about whatever it.

take whether it's a play whether it's. something off the field in that moment. four weeks from now it can change hey he. can learn from this he can go on and be. a great player that's what I'm hoping. for as a former coat as a coat fan but. uh I mean I guess I appreciate the. passion of the fans feeling like they. have to defend their guy hey look a lot. of you you don't know what the [ __ ]. you're talking about when you come when. you talk hey oh a kid tapping out when. he feels exhaustion oh bad bad on him. yeah t it's bad on him a quarterback but. once again it was one play it was a lot.

of other things that went into that loss. we get that but that is a horrible look. he understands that hopefully he learns. from it and moves on and be still could. have won the game came back in plays. great at times and has some mistakes. it's like that's what we're expecting. from a rookie quarterback and I and I. think and even though he's in the second. year rookie year because his last year. got cut short because he had shoulder. and uh shoulder surgery that ended year. after week five or whatever so we. understand it's a rookie quarterback but. the the traits of like not being a guy. are the things that can't like missing a.

throw sweet missing a read all good. fumbling the ball on uh exchange. multiple weeks in a row all good this. guy can figure this out tapping out. there like that is a that is a something. that's like this can't happen I don't. care if you're a rookie I don't care if. you're in your 10th year there's only 32. of these jobs this can't happen so I. felt OB say so and I do apologize to the. Colts fans if feel like I was uh. bamboozling him I was not I was speaking. the truth about it very positive very. positive very positive about all because.

it's like this guy's a special athlete. like a special athlete and it's like he. can which is why it's such a bummer to. see that happen cuz like what he could. be if that isn't in his world and I I. assume you can learn your lesson from. this and change I I assume this trait is. changeable well I mean you got to you. got to get in shape that's that's the. bottom line getting in shape would be a. full that that becomes like a full. commitment to that that's part of being. AO that's a lifestyle like a lifestyle.

you can also learn your lesson by people. saying stuff like that because otherwise. if everyone just makes excuses for it. and normalizes it then it's like okay. whatever like he he's different he's. special he can tap out when he needs to. you talked about yesterday like how many. guys have we seen like Kurt Cousins like. they have to peel his body off the turf. after getting just killed and guess what. he gets his ass back up goes back down. and throws a touchdown on the next play. like if you're not saying anything. then you're just normalizing it and it. is what it is and then you know well.

Howard Colts fan going to react when he. does this again and Flo or whoever is. comes in cold and fumbles the snap you. know in the red zone or something like. that like and again that's a that's an. extreme situation but like that's. possible was a third down against. Houston Texans exactly in the red zone. no it was in the Middle Field but still. still up a third and goal so like the. whole like that's a massive moment yes. and in his head he didn't think all. right we got a big third down here in. his Teddy thought I'm tired boss I got. to like that can't be that can't be the.

thought so what we're saying is I. haven't given up on ay Richardson but I. think whenever you do that you make a. lot of people think this guy's not a guy. and I don't like that because I think AR. can be a guy personally maybe at some. point like people mad at you or you know. debut or whoever they want to be mad at. about this situation like Sten and Ryan. Kelly came out and basically both said. like yeah we talked to him you can't do. that like that is not the standard you. play with and I think St and I forget. what his exact quote was but it was.

essentially like yeah that that's not. something that you can ever do like you. have to be in the football game to play. You're the starting quarterback for our. team yeah he knows he can't come out of. the game when they had a private. conversation I'm sure there was a lot. more said than just that but like the. fact that people want to normalize. something like this that's the problem. is have that's a problem that can't. happen either Colts fans can't get like. that that can't be who we are if that. was a if that was a Pittsburgh Steelers. quarterback and this is where I'm from.

so I guess I have to judge us a little. bit differently because you know that. thing oh boy if a Pittsburgh Steelers. quarterback was healthy and decided to. tap out and leave the field I don't know. if they would have been allowed to wear. a Steelers uniform again legitimately I. have no idea if you're were even. completely healthy just tired middle of. the season I I genuinely I don't think. and there's other places that are like. that Philadelphia no oh yeah could you. Philadelphia New England any of these. any yeah I was about to say I can't. think of I mean shitty organizations out.

there but any like Carolina car Carolina. it'll be Carolina they big we understand. should have C out earlier brother we get. it. right he Andy you should have actually. been tapping out there so that is we. that can't be how Colts fans are viewing. this just as a person that is very. invested in being a Colts fan you know. at every home game you know trying to. make HomeField Advantage better. basically you know trying my best. offering up every it's. like that ain't it mhm and it can't be.

it now you know what can be it mcdc. saying we're up to. something look out listen up to. something season is potentially all the. time okay you can always be up to. something but it's always exciting it's. always something where oh right around. the corner what is it oh who knows you. know why cuz it's up something season. yep did Dan Campbell say they're up to. something on that defensive line in a. Hutson here's him yesterday at the press. conference responding to a question. about maybe adding somebody to the D. line before trade deadline yeah it could.

be yeah could. [Laughter]. be no seriously has he come to yeah. could. be what is he doing what did he just say. run that again he's kidy yeah he's. should be he don't like hold his secet. hands on his chest he's a guy you can't. tell anything uh badly me neither no no. seriously has he I don't know maybe I. don't know could be yeah type it up type. it up could be could be all right hey.

has he come to you with anything yet. could be maybe Zary Smith's on our team. okay that that is potentially what he. wanted to say oh we're making a big time. move yeah we're making a play but he. didn't he didn't say anything foxy as a. Detroit Lions fan first of all he has. the Red Wings army hat on it's awesome. Prett cool okay pretty cool hat terrible. hockey team but it is a very good hat. hockey is awesome the Detroit Red Wings. used to be now they are a team that. whenever they decided to have a. tournament during Co they didn't even. get invited to the tournament okay so. that is who the Detroit that's the army.

that he's and maybe mcdc can go over and. uh lead that program and maybe they'll I. assume he could coach anything and they. would win that's how mcdc is as a leader. what is this answer say to you as a. lions fan though no I'm just happy we're. all in we have to make a trade if we. don't make a trade and we don't win the. Super Bowl I will not sleep at night so. I love mcdc doing this and I've been. checking my phone every single second. waiting for that trade to come in and. your point I think it is zidus Smith but. yeah this pumps me up big time Chey said.

yesterday Deontay Johnson zidus Smith I. fully expect to be maybe not fully I. expect them to be traded the way he said. it to us was like these two are. definitely on the Block being shopped. you would assume that Z Darius would. head there where was Zid Darius before. Cleveland uh well he played in Minnesota. and then he played for the Packers as. well and then the Ravens before that. he's bounced around to several teams. Packers he was very good very good right. pro bowler Pro Vikings he was good too. same deal and his whole thing has he's.

moved places because he typically does. perform but then he wants a new deal and. I don't know if teams are really willing. to give him the deal he's looking for so. he ends up you know hitting free agency. is he a mcdc guy I assume linan any D. linan could be an MCD yeah he he can fit. in for sure obviously as that pass. rusher when you do have a hot ear to. Tai's Point like you want to get paid. you want to get that the Hassan reic. situation like you want to strike while. the iron hot but everywhere he's been. he's producive he's healthy the Lions. man man what a team that'd be so lucky. to join and we're not going to replace. Hutch but I just want to see effer if we.

have effort as a fan I can sleep at. night with that Hutch up there in uh. sweet there was that was cool I guess it. was a really really loud pop so that's. pretty sweet yeah I I his foot half. socked in that entire like pillow thingy. around his leg that was a nasty injury. there was a nasty injury in NBA last. night terrible guy's knee just yeah I. did not watch that one that was. disgusting was gross I mean there's been. a few of those going around there was. almost one with Justin Herbert did you. see this oh yeah Justin Herbert was. getting Gator rolled a little bit after.

to rip his leg off he did it was caught. on camera obviously right right in front. of the ref and then teammate of his. absolute dog Bradley Boseman says what. are you doing what are you doing what. are you doing boo get off my quarterback. love that now Justin Herbert obviously. is saying all right okay okay I like the. gesture I like the gesture let's not get. you yeah you you piece of [ __ ] Bradley. Boseman has the sea on his chest for a. reason that he actually uh talked about. the play afterwards this what he had to. say yeah you know it was probably one of.

the dirtier plays I've ever seen um you. know especially with my own eyes uh to. see the ball's gone two three seconds. and he's still Gator rolling he's on the. ground he's still Gator rolling um and. you know just you protect your. quarterback you protect your quarterback. no matter what um I think any of our. offensive linemen that was in that. position would have done the exact same. thing so um you know had to get them off. of him and I did I don't know if any. other offensive lineman would but the. guy was wearing a SE on his chest in Los. Angeles certainly didn't and I bet Jim. Harbaugh was like come on M for he's.

a. a I bet you that's what Jim did without. doubt did you see this man he was want. to kill a guy for our quarterback man. and just kind of re-emphasizing the. point quarterback's different okay. quarterback is different I'm not saying. that Bradley Bosman wouldn't do this for. any other position I assume he would. he's probably that type of guy but in. his answer he was like you don't do that. to our quarterback quarterback is. different always has been viewed. different always will be viewed. different and if you're Justin Herbert. you absolutely love this even though.

Herbert's not like a super emotional guy. even though after he threw a touchdown. to Lad mccy he was joging off the field. doing one of these he's been he has been. he's been he's been showing a lot of. fire and emotions got him got him. feeling a little Moxy had a Herbert over. there what did you see from the Chargers. JK dobins talked about that too when he. came on about uh Herbert being a little. different but yeah as a quarterback you. see your guy sicking up for you love. that if he gets fine I'm sure Herbert. the other lineman to chip in and take. care of that until your point that is. football I remember a few years ago I. think it was Andy Dalton Cowboys he took.

a hit and his old linan just kind of. stood there and watched everybody in the. football Community is kind of like hey. what you know what's that that's not how. it's supposed to go down so when you see. this happening for your quarterback like. Boseman said any offensive lineman in. that situation that's how they respond. if I'm a teammate of his and I see the. offensive line not respond in that. fashion I got a problem with that old. line so I absolutely love this in B okay. okay okay I think that was after the lad. touchdown maybe the throw to Lad mcon he. mossed it was nasty lad makoni too bit.

of a dog too after that yeah six of them. we are worried about the boom. yeah. just why they may have jumped shark. that's why what shark no feels like. we've got too much of the booms right. now who made this ruling it's probably. my fault our fault me learning of it and. then just driving it home every time I. get to a microphone possibly a part of. the problem. uh obviously the rizzler is really. coming into his own I'm worried about.

how listen I'm not worried about the. rizzler the rizzler we need more rizzler. the rizzler is the main character here. if anybody didn't know the rizzler is. eight years old obviously he's on a. trajectory that we have not seen uh. maybe since Lady Gaga wrote that song in. that parking lot that night with Bradley. Cooper and then a star was born and. that's just kind of like this that's. what the rizzler really done in this. entire thing well I'm worried about the. the rizzler as well because his role on.

Fon last night was basically to sit in. the chair and they stuffed them full of. sweets and Candy okay and we don't need. the rler it's an eight-year-old. obviously taking over they could have. got him a smaller chair I do think they. could have got him a smaller chair or. they have in the past put people behind. the other people with like a different. chair style this is a deep seat this. ain't the rizzler seat obviously he. looks comfy him sitting an A1 though. okay right next to the desk deal. big deal he has earned that uh in the. late night World AJ was gritting his.

teeth because of that I bet why cuz you. can tell AJ was on the end of the couch. and he was not AJ Hawk you're talking. little Costco no yeah no I'm not big. Costco what was his what was his move. what who what was his move on Fallon uh. usually anything Fallon would say AJ. would. just big Costco AJ dude shut up big. Justice is the is the list the humans. may have jumped the shark but doing the. boom has. okay so hold on the humans are still. riding High I was maybe I didn't know.

you guys were going to do what you just. did right there I don't like it think. were we watch the whole entire after the. show you go and you watch the seven and. a half minutes on Jimmy F and then you. tell me what you think cuz we did he's. on the something we're still bringing a. boom or no dance I'll still bring the. boom not every not every setting is. right for everybody Bingo yeah or yeah. yeah that's a great way to put it. actually I mean even Fallon who's the. most you know like oh my God these guys. are so great so funny so great he was. making [ __ ] of him 2 minutes in no way.

Jimmy F heal a little bit a little bit. laugh cholate cookie he enjoyed the. double chunk chocolate cookie no he went. to say it and he was like what the hell. how have I gotten here well and and AJ. and big Justice went to do five booms. and after two Fon was like yeah yeah we. get it boom boom no way Jimmy Fallon. yeah you did five five booms boom boom. yeah boom boom boom boom yeah we get it. yeah five no way yeah he did you're. telling me James. [Music].

Fallon lot of that Jimmy see laughing. saying double CH let me pay my respects. to Jimmy Fallon real quick okay that. late night show host job is obviously. one that is insane and whoever got. however they got it there's always. stories Letterman was first to GE Leno. was Leno got it over Letterman which. launched the Letterman thing which lost. of no pants which then lost uh Craig. Ferguson late night he gets fired then. late late night ends up happening Jimmy. Fallon starts there he moves in the main. role there's always a bunch of. controversy whenever this happen show. stop everything y y that late night.

thing all the way back to uh Johnny. Carson Johnny Carson and. uh who was his uh Johnny Carson had a uh. nonetheless that's but became like. mustat now they only had like three. channels back then okay so late night. television was very important to. everybody's career so they're able to. book everybody they got exclusive to. everybody as the world continued to. evolutionize you know now it's kind of. become like a Clips type setting for. people but holding that seat is. obviously a massive ordeal in the.

history of entertainment and uh I think. Jimmy Fallon is a talented son of a. [ __ ] yes guy can sing brings the juice. all the time now there's a lot of things. said about him there's a lot of things. said about me too that are unfactual. because of the juice in it all I think. his interviewing style some people like. Mock and make fun of he's just trying to. bring the juice no doubt he's trying to. bring the boom all the time uh if he. said he's done with uh big Costco and. little Costco. that would be a very large surprise in. my eyes cuz he tries to put everybody.

over everybody comes on the show he. tries just like like I'm trying to make. people feel good when they come on the. show so they want to come on the show in. the future because it makes the show. better whenever we're not talking other. people are talking when I'm not talking. and other people are talking and Jimmy's. like the king of that almost like trying. to make him feel good you're telling me. he he couldn't even buy I was surprised. he wasn't really ready for it we saying. no heat from the crowd either can you. can you imagine getting tickets to that. the night before you got Lady Gaga and. Brad Pit getting interviewed by Jimmy. found come the next night and you got. big Justice and AJ out there I mean just.

yikes you be ped about that what are you. yeah what is your about the rler the. rler sure you guys need to start. bringing a boom a little bit too much. Doom hour two on the other side we'll do. the sports see you. then without further Ado ladies and. gentlemen the commissioner of the. NFL don't listen to them Roger shut your. mouth I appreciate thank you so much for. joining us you're our commissioner don't. worry about these bums.

out from us to you we'd like to give you. a gift that we know you're a big fan of. ladies and gentlemen some peanut M&M for. our commission this just why we're on. set yep you can take these with you you. can take them home I might just I got a. gift for you what oh you ready yeah I. like that with the. 222nd pick in the 2009 NFL Draft oh yeah. the Indianapolis CT select Pat McAfee. West virgin H yeah H yeah come on there. baby good.

pick pick him up thank you Ro I'm not up. cuz you got that back right I got it. there's your card baby that's real. that's awesome I've been keeping that. for what is it 15 years you had in your. back pocket this whole. time this is cool thank you for this so. whenever we say that you have to answer. to 31 billionaires how accurate is that. 32 well you you're not counting Green. Bay yeah okay cuz I doesn't. count Big Pop there's a Green Bay p. i yeah that was I don't actually think.

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

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

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

3-day weekend which makes a Sunday night. and then you have Monday off so that's. wow now now we're now we're cooking now. we're cooking can you talk to the. president 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.

Thursday oh no move it up they need to. make an a I did check I checked the. hourly should be done by like 5:00 and. trick or- treating starts at 5:30 so we. should be all right trick-or-treating is. some of my Fondest Memories as a kid. body can do it you know so it's like. everybody's doing it anybody could do it. it is a phenomenal holiday and it's nice.

to see people put effort in the house. and a Thunderdome shout out zii good. move here pal getting this whole place. ready to go and remember Halloween. episode on Thursday we will be in full. costume yeah when did you stop. trick-or-treating like what eight last. year Junior High maybe con that's the. talk to T by B coni one half of the. hammer Cowboys AP tone in the nine-year. NFL vet Darius J Butler just asked that. particular question when did you stop. trick- or- treating I don't remember I I. genuin look joining us now from an attic.

in Ohio certainly a man who will. remember exactly the day he stoed right. college football national champion Super. Bowl champion R Cup winner AJ Hawk AJ. when did you stop trick-or-treating hair. looks great I Pro uh I I would guess. like maybe seventh grade probably sixth. grade in seventh grade you probably. think you're too cool for school a. little bit and you you maybe go out with. your buddies a little bit and just po. around yeah I guess Junior High seventh. grade us seventh was the last year I. remember yeah and do you feel old too do. you feel old too yeah I think you feel. old when you're like if you're taller. than everybody you feel like you're.

being a bully maybe as soon as you elbow. like a 5-year-old for a large Kit Kat. you're like all right I should probably. call it in how about when you're waiting. in line behind like four seven year olds. and then you're standing there come on. their their parents are behind them say. thank you make sure you say thank you. because that's what I do with my kids. and then you see like a you know a. sophomore kid who Parks his car in the. driveway and he's going out there. getting king size sir yeah way excuse. me what are you guys giving out big ones. no way anybody gets to your state I mean.

we don't we I got I got four kids so. we're we're out we're hitting the. streets we're not we don't have any you. know we're not there well you're going. to somebody else's neighborhood and. hitting the street yeah we just walk a. little bit little ways and yeah there's. great neighborhoods all around us yeah. you got to scout the neighborhoods a lot. of Ohio houses giving out like bullets. hey gear. up all right we got we got Zin we got. some bullets you want some Mar Bros ammo. is expensive I don't know that's a lot. yeah you would know what you it is I. think it probably only get up too. whenever situations happening it always.

feels like it's a little bit of a quite. a I mean that thing goes like from here. stock up just gsh down well I don't know. if that's the case but nonetheless maybe. in Ohio that's how it goes I hope. everybody enjoys the hell out of. Halloween and you know um gets a chance. to dress up hell yeah AJ you got your. costume ready for Thursday yeah I think. I uh I think I'm ready I've been going. back and forth I think I have. it is this like a. fullon no it's not a thing I mean I I I.

put effort into it I put thought into it. yes I don't know if it's going to be. decent or not but I'm going to put a lot. of effort into it I'm a little bit. worried I have not tried mine on yet. thought about this weeks ago this uh. furthest out I've thought about. something in in a while love it I love. to hear that thought about thought about. it weeks ago have not tried it on though. and we are two days out so there's a. chance it it's a full backfire I just. tried mine on it is tight okay that's. good thing should work should work more. aerodynamic and we got to we got to. remember we got to speak for a few hours.

oh yeah so whatever we wear microphone. you know has to be heard in that whole. thing which I am a little bit worried. about you know okay oh a little Easter. egg there what are you going to be has a. little uh a little tree Little Nugget. you bringing the Boom is that what. you're saying well I might have to. change after this Jimmy which hey uh did. you hear about booms last night they're. in the uh they're in the chat on Tik Tok. live we'd like to let them know hey love. them great idea love the D great idea. great concept just not do Fallon any.

anytime soon you tell me Jimmy Fallon. got sick of him there's no way Jimmy F. that's he's the perfect guy for them to. go on AG cut the tape yeah cut on the. tape hey big Costco Tai said you need. poor perform there some egos are there. some egos going around is that what's. going on like everybody wants to be the. top dog I don't know if it's necessarily. that it was kind of just like Jimmy you. know which he to your point never does. was kind of just like 2 minutes like all. right I'm done with the [ __ ] shtick. sounds like a Jimmy problem we get it I. I I'm not going to let you railroad this.

and do boom boom boom boom boom he was. not about it he was not about it they. were going to do five booms and to Tai's. point he cut them off like actually big. Justice an AJ kept going in F was like. yeah yeah okay uh yeah yeah yeah boom. boom boom boom. boom shoot that's what happened I need. to see it I need that's what they had. the graphics for him and all I don't. know I think Jimmy was pumped to have. the booms there he was pumped to have. rler well rizzler is seat one over there. that's a big deal hey costos good work.

still love you guys we certainly do um. AJ have you been paying attention in. these NFL games and their Graphics at. all I've been trying why you see. anything unusual well like on Monday. Night Football last night the three time. outl lights uh both both you know kind. of same color all right Fox the time out. lights which are very important. especially as football fans continue to. learn about the game and about the sport. and everything like that they know how. important uh time very clear to see.

Arizona Cardinals have two timeouts. there right y dolphins have three. timeouts right there right very clear. very easy a massive piece of narrative. building is around situational football. and game management fans know more about. it now than ever and if they don't. aggregators who are following everything. know so I think they should make it as. easy to see look at the CBS one look at. the CBS one okay look at that look at. that now I guess because the. Indianapolis Colts graphic is white they. couldn't make it the same color as the. US One the Colts have three timeouts.

right there oh [ __ ] the Colts have three. timeouts no idea I thought talking about. Bingo me too and I was so mad I I was so. I got so like I I got like hold on so. the Colts have no timeouts we're in the. first quarter we're we're in the first. quarter right now we what the hell. happened what what have taking place I. like something happened with McKenzie go. downstairs come back up we have no what. the what are we do how will we this this. is an AFC South division lead game turns. out it's just Graphics they do that.

because it's different color it's like. buddy can't have we need to know I I. feel like the TV networks need to come. together and say hey this is how we're. doing it now I would say though to the. TV into the networks covering games I. think he's been good this year. absolutely I think he's been good across. the board yeah you know like Tom a. little early they started chitchatting. about Tom Brady potentially not being uh. the one you know because Greg Olsen is. so so good Tony and Jim not nearly as. much heat on them as there has been back.

in his bag Bingo not nearly as much heat. on them as there has been Joe and Troy. obviously everybody appreciates the hell. out of Kirk and Al even though there's. some people that have their thoughts. about those particular reactions from Al. Michaels Al Michaels just said I'm not y. this is this is Al Michaels it's like. feels like the networks have gotten more. right than wrong this year in the. coverage of the game now Tampa Atlanta. not having a camera on the goal line I. blame the networks because the networks. are the feeds that are going in for the. review system so hey for the good of. ball let's put a camera down there.

networks but other than that I feel like. it's been good football coverage this. year AJ yeah it has I mean this is crazy. that this this play yeah that they don't. have a camera in the proper angle to. actually figure out exactly what did. happen but one thing that does bug me I. don't know if it happens as much don't. tell them networks please don't put. anything on the screen yellow if it's. not for a flag sometimes they'll pop up. like oh it's a first down or second down. and they put it up around the little bug. and it look and every time I'm like all. oh no there's a flag here oh no here we. go it just says first down something I. agree there there was um I think the.

Colts local broadcast whoever was doing. that they had like a yellow first and 10. thing and it was just on the screen I. think I think was my like a couple years. ago anything yellow makes me think. there's a flag can't have it I agree but. it's been good and these uh the circles. on Amazon the um the mic's been good too. the mics are great even my kids ask me. dad do they mik everybody up like well. the center the refs everybody we can. hear a lot of a lot of cadence and not. just there's been a lot of hot M hot Ms. happening fine you can handle it we can. everybody can handle it agreed like.

especially with what the internet is and. if you know I'm I'm my daughter you know. her and I aren't having full. conversations with each other yet she. understands stuff though so I I can feel. for parents that say like hey if you say. a naughty word we have to we have to. figure it out it's like how come for. civilizations and for generations and. generations and generations it was okay. but now it's like we can't you can't. separate like adults are allowed to do. [ __ ] kids are not now I know it's a much. different world I know it's a much. different world and everything like that.

but like on the internet now if. anybody's on there they are seeing and. knowing these words it's not like back. in the day where who'd you hang out with. that you learned what that word was you. little bastard it's like you I heard it. I heard it from you in this entire thing. it's like now they know it so if one. slips by I'm happy there hasn't been. like a massive we apologize for a. [ __ ] slipping through during a. football game it wasn't supposed to be. that way it just kind of moving on I. feel like we are getting to a point. where everything's a little bit more. relaxed hope it stays that way some of.

the some of the players might not love. it you know because you know obviously. you're you're I wanton to say you're. completely different person when you're. playing football but you are emotions. are high adrenaline is high so you could. be you know a face of a business or. whatever or your parent whatever you may. not want to say certain things and you. score a touchdown you scor some sack. some ice hey you say some [ __ ] that you. don't want out there so I can see some. players maybe not liking it but for a. fan you know it's like it almost makes. you feel like you're there you're even. more there in the back of the end zone. the guy scores and they're talking [ __ ]. or you hear something in between you.

know snaps or whatever um so yeah the. mics are great I can see how some. players maybe would not want some things. getting out football's doing good right. now doesn't it it feels like it's doing. good college ball we got a this weekend. Penn State Ohio State AJ have you. thought about it at all what your. expectations are for this game man it's. weird with Ohio State coming off the you. know narrowly beating Nebraska people I. think are they're not really sure what. to expect so but I mean pumped I I I. have full confidence in Ohio State. though okay you have full confidence in. Ohio State but people don't know what to.

expect from them are those your thoughts. or the people's thoughts around you I'm. like I'm you know saying like the people. that I'm around you know everyone is an. Ohio State fan and so they wherever I'm. at practices whatever what do you think. of the what do you think of the last. game they ask me specific things and. it's actually good because I get to kind. of think out what I I get to kind of. think about what other people how they. view the program and what's going on and. everything so but I feel I mean honestly. is AQ going to be the guest pi I was. hoping he was the guest picker this week. but I do feel good about the buck I. don't know who I don't know who the.

guest picker is that's what my as soon. as he said I assumed AQ I assumed I. don't know if AQ got the call but he he. should have he he certainly uh should. have there you said you're at practices. what are The Vibes there have you been. there over the last two weeks obviously. lose to Oregon then not Ohio State. practices I'm talking sixth grade. practices first and second grade. practices yeah yeah parents different. different people fans you talk to the. general though right you talked to the. general yeah oh yeah he's at practice. what are his thoughts and schlegel's. thoughts on The Vibes over there with a. Ryan Day Le team that I think with the.

amount of money those spent on the. roster obviously you bring Chip Kelly in. old friend of Ryan day to run the. offense Ryan day is just kind of. managing things that organ gamees tough. obviously very close game on the road. early in the season still have. everything in front of you Nebraska out. for B what what's happening here you. know what's happening here is the. question but Nebraska just came off and. ass beating too so they're going to show. up with their best football I don't. think Ohio fans care about that but I. think that's a very real situation. especially with this Nebraska team this. year as opposed to maybe in recent.

history what is The Vibes you think. around the Ohio State team they know. that this year is a championship or bus. year I assume yeah oh yeah and I think. they know this game is kind of this is. it this is kind of like a make or break. situation where now we figure out what. team like I think Penn State is probably. in a similar spot like hey we get to. figure out who we truly are and in a big. test against Ohio State and I think Ohio. State you know fans probably feel the. same way like here we go if we go out. there and we go get a huge Road victory. at Penn State maybe that'll kind of.

catapult him and give him the you know. the momentum they've been looking for. Tom Diggs how many losses will a team be. able to have from the Big 10 of the SEC. and still make the 12 team playoff you. think we've been chatting about three. all year yeah it's like there's a chance. a team with three losses from the Big 10. or the SEC is going to be ranked high. enough and sneak in a 12 team playoff. and then that's going to be the debate. going forward last year it was does. Florida State deserve to be in on their. third string quarterback or does Alabama. deserve to be in with a loss after.

winning the SEC beating Georgia yada. yada y all that stuff this year it's. going to be you're telling us a team who. had three losses during the year is. allowed to play for a national. championship but not a team that lost. one game in power four like because the. ACC and the Big 12 are being viewed. differently ton what are your thoughts. on the conversation around that and what. do you think is realistic at the end of. it all I I did think at one point that. there would be a three loss team uh from. either the SEC or the big 10 the more I. watch the Big 10 I feel like there's. less of a chance that there even will be. a three loss team from the Big 10 cuz.

the way that the the schedules uh shake. up like Oregon they're going to like. they're going to they have the game that. they have left like they got Michigan on. the road and that's about it Michigan's. not even great and then they have the. big 10 Championship like Penn State. really has just Ohio State and Ohio. State has really just Penn State and. then Michigan like I don't think there a. chance any of those teams will get to. three losses but I still I think I think. the Big 10 will get three teams three or. maybe even potentially four teams with. IU like the way that that's shaping up. is insane like there's a chance that IU.

Ohio State uh Penn State and Oregon all. have one loss like that there that's. that's a real situation and in that. situation I think all those teams would. have to get in the Big 10 the better. chance is an SEC team that has three. losses because the they still have a lot. of games against each other where they. could end up like Tennessee Bama uh aam. they could all end up with three losses. yeah and you think about Texas I mean. just like the the cannibalism potential. of the. legit is Real Deal especially if you. look at like Texas A&M right now Texas. A&M and LSU were at the top of the SEC.

that's why that game was so big it's. like everybody had forgotten about them. we got Tennessee we got Georgia we got. Texas obviously everybody thought. Alabama was going to be able to go. nobody thought about Texas A&M and LSU. were at the top of that thing and if. they win it they're taking up a spot so. what are you going to do with all the. other spots it's like that Texas A&M. walk out. video did you see it AJ electric oh yeah. oh yeah and I would assume they had. recruits yeah towards the back walking. out you know right behind the team too. can you imagine not committing right. there if you weren't committed to the.

squad like i' like yeah coach I think. I'll commit tonight I thought about. Coach Elco what his body heart. everything as he's just walking out in. front of that team the way he was. walking and it's like the 108,000. plus like that is such a great chant. that I haven't really I you know they. obviously have had to do it over the. last few years but everybody being on. board and then there was like a clacking. sound because obviously they have a. military at the beginning of it this was.

beautifully orchestrated fire it's like. you got to figure it out right there and. I think it legitimately you're walking. out there like a gladiator I think it. gets you ready for a football game too. it's not like a distraction it's not. like [ __ ] like I was thinking about. how they had to feel you're ready for. War I assume in that moment AJ. legitimately look at that tunnel I mean. look how long that tunnel is too and. with the lights and everything going on. like man the once you would as soon as. you get out of that tunnel it has to be. unbelievable to see the crowd and to see. them all on their their feet too let's. go boys let's yeah yeah LSU is gon to.

walk in here and beat us huh okay and. look at the little hop twep here from. coach Elco whenever he. boom bad little Skip to My L there um. from coach Elco but Texas A&M with. Marcel Reed a quarterback it's like why. not them many there he is you got to. compete with that [ __ ] like you another. Pro any program like obviously everybody. got their own thing LSU got their run. out Clemson you know every different. program has their thing but you see. everybody star to level up and these. social media teams getting better.

Tennessee put out a a a promo with um. the black jerseys like the V I mean they. had to invest in that oh yeah that's a. lot of money to make that animation. happen that's like real animation there. do you think there will be a. conversation like if you pull up that uh. graphic again of what the college. football playoff will be like if BYU. gets the first round by and they're the. four seed and they just get blown out do. you think there'll be a conversation. about like hey next year absolutely the. top four seeds need to you know get a. buy but should there be some sort of.

qualification change with like the. highest conference Champion or no so. what if the fifth highest seated. Champion too the power five Champion or. whatever yeah is higher ranked than one. of the P4 ones and they end up getting. the buy as opposed to the P4 champion. who was then out I think maybe there. will be a convo about that but if these. teams Get Smoked by an SEC or Big 10. school yeah the conversation is going to. be is this really a 12 team playoff for. everybody or or we is this a four team. playoff for everybody else and it's an.

eight team for the SEC in the Big 10 I. think there's going to be a lot of. things we're going to have to navigate. as we go forward I mean it happens in. the NFL like uh what was it the NF uh. NFC East had like seven and eight or a. team and they got the they obviously. they had home field advantage and they. got blown out by somebody or whatever. now they didn't get a buy so that is a. different situation but yeah I mean this. year it is different like because a lot. of people don't obviously see BYU as as. a good football team great football team. great football team but the big 12 this. year um they don't have that Powerhouse. team or what that that's a coin flip.

League that's you know it's a great. League you know a lot of depth in that. league as we said thank you they didn't. say that on game but it's not going to. be it's not going to be like that every. year Nik matzel that first round of. games is absolutely incredible right. there so good yeah it's going to be. electrifying college football is. delivered uh you know what else is off. and running what's that the NBA oh. that's right yeah it is uhhuh how are. the Boston Celtics doing I mean you tell. me is no losses good undefeated okay. yeah I think so so since you guys won.

the title you have not lost we have yet. to lose in the last I don't know eight. months how many Olympic old menal are. over there three how many are proud of. it. none what's that all about representing. United States of America well I mean. some things are bigger than basketball. and revenge is one of them basketball is. happening right now in a big way joining. us ladies and gentlemen senior NBA. Insider at ESPN friend of the program oh. yeah sham Shir. yeah how you doing Shams Pat what's up I. I have to say it's Halloween coming up.

in a couple days and I love the the the. the little kid all over the interwebs. that that had the suit on like you see. so I think I I think that might be the. costume of the Year well no no let's not. have a lot of people doing that but that. kid was awesome that was a very cool. moment I appreciate that I became a. Halloween uh costume after I got. arrested for public intoxication and. 2010 yeah it's a little different now. than it was then it's good you know. these ones are seemingly a little bit. more positive uh response as opposed to.

the negative so I am honored and. appreciative and there's some young. young kids doing some I heard a little. uh girl on the internet who dressed up. like me what's that coming down the. track whole thing love that whole thing. where in uh impressive I need to see. this one I missed this one I missed that. one it was phenomenal I these these kids. these days kids these brains on these. kids uh it is awesome Halloween's. amazing Shams how is the NBA going are. we off to a great start would uh Adam.

Silver say that or or what's. conversation about the NBA right now I. saw LeBron had a bad shooting night last. night I saw that that's not good how was. the NBA start to the season choms I mean. Lakers Suns they're off to three in one. starts Oklahoma City Thunder uh have. been off to a stellar start they look. like Champion chip contenders Boston. Celtics BC Celtics they look like. they're right on track then you have a. few teams are somewhat disappointing. whether you think about Milwaukee Denver. they got to get their stuff in order as.

well so I I think when you look at the. league right now where Adam Silver's. league is right now it's a lot of parody. you look at both conferences you have. about six seven teams that genuinely. feel like they're competing for a. championship and we'll see where they. end up come playoff time okay uh. obviously you know the Boston Celtics. are different than everybody else that's. right this kind of what happened last. year everybody's like we'll talk about. the Boston Celtics whenever we get the. playoff because they're better than. anybody you didn't talk about the Boston. Celtics in playoffs so that led to. Boston Celtics fans and players saying. we they don't even acknowledge us yeah.

ever and we're the best team in. basketball we would like to let the. Boston Celtics fans know we have a. masshole on the team I got the TR and he. will talk a lot now there's some. questions though is there not about the. Celtics Sean still undefeated but we are. playing without Kristoff porzingis now I. I do think that the NBA doesn't want him. to play just because if he does then the. Celtics are going to win every game by. 40 plus points and that's not very fun. for anybody but what is his status right. now and is he going to be back uh. January like we were saying before the. season or where where is he at with his.

injury the Celtics are targeting. December from what I'm told for Chris. porzingis and his return and there was. video I was seeing last night of him. warming up before the game he has not. progressed the contact yet but BC if. you're watching this video you're. probably licking your chops you're. getting ready for Chris poring to be. back in line he looks really really good. and I I think if this wasn't a Celtics. team that has the best starting lineup. to me in the NBA they've got the number. one starting five in the league for sure. if they didn't have that if they didn't.

have the luxury of being where they are. at now maybe you're a little more. pressed to bring KP back but they have. the luxury of having to be patient they. can wait they don't necessarily need to. rush him back at all if it ends up. taking until dece uh January it takes. until January but right now they're. targeting December it could even be. earlier but right now they're really. focused on that month um he has to. progress the contact and what I'm told. this is where his return will be based. on the Celtics have a program for him. essentially once he's hit the metrics on.

his body uh his different body parts and. different elements they're essentially. measuring parts of his body and once. whether it's his his leg his knee okay. his you know all all all legs all knees. nice just lower body all NBA every every. he just had this this kind of traumatic. leg injury um essentially once his body. and those muscle groups are all balanced. and he's hit those thresholds he will be. cleared for return but the Celtics will.

be patient they'll want to make sure. he's 100% healthy until he reaches those. metrics he won't be back but they're. very optimistic that will be at some. point yeah a group of Caucasian dudes in. that conversation is obviously going to. take it a certain way I mean that's 100%. honest but thank you for clarifying what. porzingis has to do to P he has his body. parts have to pass a program sure and. then once they've got metrics on all. these on all these muscle groups and his. body once he reaches those those metrics. he will be cleared for return. that how's how is how are they all.

hanging good luck brother yeah well is. the answer yeah I'd assume good luck to. porzingis on all these metrics on all. body parts get him back to 100 10%. absolutely maybe uh speaking of body. parts we're resting them apparently go. ahead dbut yeah speaking of getting to. 110% uh Joel and B started off the. season obviously we know what you did. this offseason won a gold medal with. Team USA but. havn't shown up hasn't played yet I. heard there's been some type of. investigation going on with the NBA with.

the Sixers what's going on with that. sham the investigation is ongoing I. would expect a result at some point here. in the in the near future uh there's. really two sides of this DB one is the. Joel embiid side which is that he has. never had a healthy playoff run and he's. always gotten hurt come playoff time and. this is really a new strategy the Sixers. and Joel embiid are taking on which is a. essentially and I reported this plenty. of times this is the new normal for jool. embid periodic time off over the course.

of the Season he's going routine. checkups on his knee his foot any other. body part that acts up and that will be. a part of the season for him on the. other hand from the NBA perspective. there's no specific injury that the. Sixers have cited so when you think. about kawi Leonard when you think about. Chris Middleton kawh Leonard has a a. serious right knee inflammation issue. Chris Middleton is coming off double. ankle surgeries and so there are. specific injuries that you can Define. they black and white here in this Joel. embi situation the Sixers have said.

there's no injury here he's actually. lost 20 25 pounds he's in great shape. there's no reinjury so the from the. NBA's perspective and people around the. league is what's the issue with Joel. embiid he just is not in shape he hasn't. practiced or played all training camp so. it's it it would be malpractice the. Sixers threw him out there it would it. would lead to injury but the other side. is he hasn't played um. in my in my opinion just looking at this. situation clearly this is where Joel. embiid feels like he needs to be in.

order to be healthy come playoff time. and let's see that's when he needs to be. healthy that's when the Sixers need him. to be healthy but there is a flip side. to all this and that's the League's. perspective and every and everyone that. inhabits the league office yeah because. he's big star he's big star he's a. United States American gold medalist. former former League MVP all NBA player. gold medalist he is one of the elite. names in the NBA he's one of the elite. players in the NBA a guy that obviously. fans want to see God speed embiid like. to see you out there love to see you out. there we want to see Joel embiid healthy.

come playoff time though right like we. want to see BG and Maxi I don't know. about BC BC BC might be ready for the. for the challenge though BC thinks the. Celtics are just going to stomp. everybody no he doesn't know about these. Pacers who are getting hot okay Pacers. that the Celtics swept last year we'll. see you on Wednesday night okay we'll. see we'll see you on Wednesday night but. last night Pacers obviously had a. situation AJ if you would like to ask. Shams a question pal Shams yeah the you. know the former Duke star Paulo banero. what goes for 50 are we looking at.

another another face of the the league. here and is this going to continue on. this this hot streak Paulo banko is. 1,00% one of the young faces of the NBA. I mean this guy is is an all-around star. he became the youngest player since. LeBron James to have this statline 50. points um 10 10 rebounds five assists. what he was able to do last night I mean. he is a Star right now he's on the rise. and I think when you think about his. allaround game uh he's one of the best. players in the NBA when you think about.

the forward forward position um and and. I think when you think about Orlando. that uh benero fron Wagner Jaylen Suggs. they just gave $50.5 million contract. extension to bronze Wagner's on the max. deal this is Orlando we're talking about. Pao banero is the next player that. they're going to have to Shell a lot of. money out too very very soon uh he is. their face he's their Cornerstone and. he's certainly one of the young faces of. the NBA Bono you're saying multiple. times trying to tell us it's not bonero.

I do believe which we appreciate. congrats to Paulo on having a hell of a. night only 12 in the second half I think. okay just locked I got to push him more. I feel like we don't hear enough about. him number one pick Orlando right that's. but damn he's been like he was good his. work he's been good since put in his. League sweet name well they called him. what was it they called him Pat Mahomes. at that fg1 race yeah I think last night. was the most famous he's been since they. Mook him for Pat Mahomes way to go Paulo. oh yeah Paul Paulo speaking of faces of.

the NBA Ty has a question for you yeah. Sean just curious what has the reaction. around the NBA been to the starting five. documentary because watching that like. we loved the quarterback documentary on. Netflix and I think you know obviously. diard basketball fans will love it but I. think even casual fans like the access. you get from that is incredible what has. been the reaction and are more guys like. looking to maybe potentially do that. yeah I mean when I talk to teams they're. they're certainly watching people are.

certainly watching because you are. getting this behind the scenes look you. see an Edwards going leaving a game and. and his kid is he has a kid and his and. his his girl is going into labor you. have um you know Jimmy Butler they. showed some pretty emotional scenes. where he's dealing with his his sick. father uh who ended up passing away you. have all these behind the scenes. footages Jason Tatum the behind the. scenes of him winning a championship and. then LeBron James we don't usually see. him in this documentary format so people. are certainly watching but Pat Uh guys.

Ty I I actually have news for you guys. so we know the season one cast LeBron. James Jason Tatum Anthony Edwards deont. sabon as Jimmy Butler the season two. cast I do have I have it confirmed what. for you guys okay uh starting five. season two Netflix Kevin Durant what. James Harden. whoa Shay gilis Alexander.

ohc's guy Jaylen Brown number four and. number five this is the one that I know. is gonna get the Thunderdome amped up. and ready to go Tyrese halberton let's. go final member starting five on Netflix. season to they are taping again this is. produced by LeBron james' company Spring. Hill Barack Obama's Higher Ground and. pton Manning's Company Omaha Productions. they are leading the Productions of this. show for Netflix and that is the.

starting five we I don't know if we've. ever seen Kevin Durant in this space or. James Harden two very private players. and people and now we got Jaylen Brown. the mix chills Alexander having his come. out party and uh Ty halberton a lot of a. lot of attention for tyres halber and. Indie uh he was on the Olympic team now. he's on starting five on Netflix season. 2 too listen if I can get to learn about. the Durantula off the court I'm in James. Harden yeah I'd like to know a little. bit more about because whenever he.

walked out of that hotel with a little. baby I believe and they ran into that. Paparazzi and uh he had the same look on. his face that I have a couple times when. I've walked out of potential meetings or. something like that and didn't expect. people to to be there in the state of. mind that Al became a big fan Tyrese. Alberton electrifying like he's a. wrestling fan so obviously he has an. entertaining personality and then Jaylen. Brown what are you mad about why'd you. thumbs down no no I'm I'm pumped about. it very much so we we just got Tatum as. well it's kind of like hey I don't want.

to force feed everyone the Celtics I. think Jaylen Brown's probably I mean. he's gon who's gonna be more. entertaining is what I want to know. who's going to be the more entertaining. one. Jay yeah James Harden between those two. are they following him in off season two. or just regular. season started start the season think. James hard season up until the end of. the season oh you're saying Harden. doesn't know if it's. off that's 365 brother make sure you're. with him when they got a road trip in.

Houston. definitely definitely I would like James. Harden's the one I'm most intrigued. about I I would like that now the. Durantula given some like I've heard. when we went down to Texas uh for the. football team I went over to the. basketball facility that I think he. donated like a massive piece of it too. talked to the equipment manager down. there and they talked about some of the. workouts that Kevin Durant does and it's. not like how many made three it's like. the sound of the net with the ball going. through it in a row like I want to hear. that pop like 50 straight times and if.

he gets like 40 straight stops if it's. like 41 and there's like a little Clank. of it's like start it again like his. work ethic I guess is just absurd I. assume everybody is that is a you know. that's a professional athlete you would. think you would hope I'm off the court. too his business mov yeah he's like a. he's got to be a billionaire close to it. with everything he's got going on. that'll be thank you for allowing the. access Mr KD and James Harden hopefully. they show how SGA puts together his. Instagram captions because that's like.

another big thing is he does these like. sick raps on Instagram captions no way. cooler and uh I don't know he's got his. own language if you P if you pull up so. does SGA and they come in the form of. bars well yeah it's Canadian they have. their own language no there's are we are. we going to get the behind the scenes of. uh of of of when the shout out to 50. Cent was taped or or hope they there be. part of this happy birthday fifth is. that what you're you're talking about. happy birthday fifth is that what you're. uh there's a few videos out there I I.

don't know which one but get a lot of. behind the scenes we G get a lot of. behind big Puma deal shout out to 50. Cent ind's popping right now. it's jungle yeah BB it is uh all right. let's talk congrats on Netflix have. another season that would be interesting. too because I think the names are what. Drive the interest those are massive. names can't wait to watch it congrats. all parties can't wait to learn T dig. has a question about a big name yeah. sh's another massive name uh Steph went.

down with a lower body uh what's the. update on Steph when's he gonna be back. is it serious what are we dealing with. yeah this body part is the ankle foot. it's called the peronal uh peronal. strain essentially a foot ankle issue. around his ankle um around his foot kind. of a tendon situation he's dealing with. some swelling he's dealing with pain and. so he's got to manage that get that. Mobility back uh in that ankle foot he's. going to be re-evaluated on Friday but.

around him the sense is this could be an. injury that goes about a week and that. would put him at early next week um you. know maybe up to two weeks that's that's. the sense uh around the injury itself. but the Warriors and Stephan Curry. they're just taking this day by day they. want to see how he feels how he's. managing that swelling um and they're. going to be cautious it's still very. early in the season uh you don't want to. rush step and Curry back on the floor uh. you know they have a five-game road trip. that they're going to start this weekend. uh from November 2 to November 10 and.

once that period starts and is underway. uh you you you know you don't really. want to rush him out there for one game. or two game stint you want him to get. right early in the year he is dealing. with some pain and some swelling once. that subsides we'll see Stephen Curry. return but the good news is there was. nothing major here there was no major. damage to that ankle or that foot just. something he does have to manage over. the next uh few days week or so okay I. think we went down briefly there on ESPN. we remained Live on YouTube we had a. little bit of a power surge because what. you were talking about was so damn great.

SE we need you talking more pal we need. you you set a power surge through the. Thunderdome I do believe and uh ESPN. rack one done it popped back up we are. live that is good news but we certainly. are now live in a commercial I think. they want to we remain Live on YouTube. which is. obviously how's that work I don't know. that it doesn't make any sense well the. way set up actually you see there's a. feed here and then there's a feed there. and then there's multiple feeds there. and then they have their thing and then. we have our thing and then our thing and. their thing sometimes don't dance.

especially when a power surge comes. through named sham shirani and it breaks. it apart so hopefully they're able to re. redo it Shams too much power too much. power out of you and for Steph Curry uh. can't wait to see him back NBA season. going to be great it feels like right is. there going to be moves or do you think. this is going to be a season where a lot. of BigTime players are going to end up. changing teams or no I mean the there. are players that teams have their eye on. right when you think about two players. that could become free agents this off. offseason that's Brandon Ingram that's. Jimmy Butler where are their Futures at.

Ingram has uh this season left on his. deal he's going to be a free agent. potentially he did not extend with the. Pelicans what does that lead for his. future right now he's in norleans they. want to see how him dejonte Murray Zion. Williamson um and that team CJ McCullum. how that team looks this year before. they make any judgments and then on the. other side Jimmy Butler he's got a. player option for next season and any. player play going in the last year of. his deal with a player option you're. either going to do an extension which. he's not going to do as of right now in. Miami or you you it's going to work it's.

going to work out and then you just go. into free agency or if it doesn't work. out uh could they look for a move so. those those dominoes all all will see. where they land over the next few months. um and then there's going to be other. players that pop up but definitely as. far as the tradem market those are two. names we we just have to keep an eye on. over the course of the Season hell yeah. we can't thank you enough how you. enjoying your time as senior NBA Insider. pal figuring it all out uh you know but. but one thing I know is I can always. come on here we can uh break break some.

bread and uh and and have some. conversation we appreciate you making. time for us oh yeah you know we. appreciate you making time for us we. know the schedule is hectic during uh. the NBA season the fact that you're. still able to join us while being a part. of the ESPN NBA crew we're very thankful. for go ahead comment yeah Shams uh any. update on the dwade Statue are they. going to tear that thing down and build. a new one. I I I I think Dwayne Wade was very very. involved with the Statue and I don't. think that they're going to do anything. with it I think he was very involved I.

think both sides signed off on it and I. think that's where they're going to move. forward with is that statue but um you. know I think it's interesting when you. look at it does it look exactly like him. of course not but like this is. deeper anything. years I mean in 5 10 15 years it's going. to you know it's going to blend. year old D yeah so. this got it it was a future scull no but. it'll just blend in it'll just be nice.

and uh you know you'll see the statues. are meant to age as far as like you look. at it 20 30 40 years from now this is. going to be right that's the thing is. statues donate don't that's salt water. in the air yeah oh oh not going power. wash this thing you're not going to. power wash the dust off of this thing. you think it's going to anyways if you. look closely you can see it in the in in. the eyes D Way D you if you look a. little little close yeah he's got a. jersey. ony I've seen a old picture that kind of.

I've seen him put his this too yeah for. sure it's yeah that represents a moment. in time yeah yeah and he's I saw him on. today's show did a 101 interview that's. right he said bring babies out of the. hospital bring them a statue get engaged. right in front of the statue get married. right in front of the statue wouldn't. this be a place of Celebration because. that's what the Miami Heat you know kind. of shout out to dwade DB shout out to D. way hell yeah flash I got man best best. player in the world 2006 obviously. heedles part of the heedles one of the.

favorite athletes I grew up watching so. shout out to three for sure hey way to. go Dwayne you deserve it he's happy. about the Statue he talked about it. since him and his boy didn't look too. happy when that was a private. conversation between their eyes oh okay. well that's the only thing it really. looks like him is the eyes of statue but. moving forward we think that he will. grow into looking more like it which is. why statues are forever We Appreciate. You Shams you're the. man appreciate yall ladies and gentlemen. sham. sh okay we have some news out of the NFL.

first in the Houston Texans organization. it is official Stefan dig suffered a. season ending knee injury now it was a. non- contct injury anytime you hear that. obviously you know something bad. probably happened very rarely is it like. oh it was something minor when it was a. non-c cont injury being um kind of. reported so ston godp speed on recovery. that is not cool obviously they make a. big move bring Stefon Diggs into Houston. for CJ St to have another weapon niic.

Collins gets start early in season. they've had a lot of guys banged up now. ston digs out for the rest of the year I. thought this Texans team could go and. run with the way they were built losing. Stefan digs is a big blow that is a big. blow adj yeah it's obviously huge you. can't replace a guy like Stefan Diggs. but yeah you know the NFL next man up. someone's going to have to step up and. make plays and you know a little bit. more even on the quarterback knows hey. here we go I got to I got to figured. this thing out without my Superstar. receiver yeah. see the trade deadline's still a week. away yeah it is you think Houston tries.

to make a move here Dante Johnson's. available you think they try to make a. play what are your thoughts I can see it. why not you know you got uh Joe Mixon. who's healthy who's running the hell out. of the ball obviously you got CJ Stout. why not go all in strike where the. iron's hot try to try to go on the run. here Los ston he's huge obviously uh on. the field but I would imagine that. locker room as well always brings a. bunch of emotion plays hard uh and. personally I think he was on a pretty. much a contract Year too so I absolutely. hate that for Stefan so God speed to his. recover someone who watched a lot of. Deonte now he's not Stefan Diggs but he.

is that type of receiver that runs. incredible routes he's not he's not the. speed guy that's going to take it over. the top but he can get over the top he's. very similar ston digs and how they play. so it would be a good fit cerio has made. Moves cerio is not scared to make moves. I think that's just how he's going to be. it's not even like we're in a window cuz. CJ str's young and he's good we rookie. contract on our quarterback he's very. good but I think that's going to be how. cerio runs a team I think he's just like. bean I think they're going to be like we. are going to try to make our team better. just like V has been yeah I mean.

remember V and Andy Reid made a decision. to move on from Alex Smith after an. almost MVP year for Patrick Mahomes and. then they bring in weapons I'm excited. to see how cerio handles this situation. we were trying to connect. currently oh never mind shefer we're. trying to call shefer say like hey are. they going to look for a trade now. obviously godspeed was to F digs but oh. now he's finding his spot in his house. I know they senior NFL Insider for ESPN. ladies and gentlemen Adam. Sher shy we appreciate you answering. here the Stefon digs news out of Houston.

is obviously a bummer if you're a Texans. fan and a football fan as a whole when. it was reported as a non-con injury we. assume the worst now it has come out to. be true does this mean the Texans are. going to try to make a move before trade. deadline Day November 5th at wide. receiver or how do you see this working. out well first of all you hope Stefan. digs is okay and I don't know that I've. heard the Texans linked to very many. wide receivers I think they still could. Nico Collins is going to be on IR for. another week they still have tank Dell. they still have Robert Woods they still.

have John mey they still have other wide. receivers but you obviously lose a. big-time weapon in Stefan digs who was. in the last year's contract you hope he. gets well by the time he becomes a free. agent but obviously a big blow for him. having the torn ACL and the Texans again. I haven't heard them linked we we kind. of knew that this was what it was you're. just waiting for somebody to confirm. that he was going to be out for the year. and de oy told reporters what 5 10. minutes ago that he tore his ACL he's. out for the year yeah you said uh some.

troubling signs here not a lot of. responses whenever we're asking how the. injury is which is very standard as. people respond good we think it's going. to be better we're getting tests or. whatever instead you kind of got ghosted. in that and you said that's a troubling. sign yesterday that comes to fruition. today God speed ston God speed God speed. ston digs now you broke some other news. as well um Indianapolis Colts are going. with a quarterback change Joe flacko uh. will be starting this weekend uh instead. of Anthony Richardson this comes fresh.

off a day of every person that's been. involved with the NFL saying that a. quarterback can't tap out that's just. not how it works you can maybe if you're. strained or injured but just to say. you're out of breath and to tap out of a. game that is obviously something you're. not looking for in a guide to lead a. program in a franchise they've talked. about a lot of his stats I think Anthony. Richardson is a very good football. player at times but he is Young he's. going to make mistakes there's been. drops to so his completion percentage. which has been talked about a lot at. nauseum as being a potential.

historically NFL bad completion. percentage I think there's some more to. contacts to that story but ultimately. why do you think this decision was made. to go to Joe flacko and what are you. hearing from the Colts organization who. I am uh not talking to because um I. don't want to know and what I said. yesterday I think there you know who. knows how they took and how they heard. it because this the first time I've ever. said something like that about the. Indianapolis Colts Colts fans are pissed. off at me for even saying it now Joe.

flac's a quarterback what are you. hearing from the building Chey you know. what you know you know what the amazing. part about this is is this morning I got. a call that this was happening and I. reached out to a couple of people to. confirm and I spoke to some people on. other. teams um and when I said hey my sense is. that they're benching Anthony Richardson. the reaction I got from some very smart. people was like of course they're. benching him like it wasn't even an.

option okay that I mean it was I. couldn't believe how strong people were. and so when I heard that I'm like okay. this is happening this is happening and. you know you're waiting for confirmation. they met as an organization this morning. to go over it they obviously broke up. those meetings my understanding is that. theyve informed each quarterback back. and now the move has been made and it's. a seismic move on a lot of levels. because you're benching the former third.

overall pick who now becomes the second. quarterback in that draft class to be. bench Bryce young number one overall. pick now Anthony Richardson and yes Pat. I I I do think it has to do with the tap. out now I don't know that we'll get. further. comments oh boy okay we're going to wait. oh boy okay um here we go Li go Li Li. that didn't sound. good so I think it's a case where um. what what hold on what's not worry about.

Joe FL oh boy oh boy what what something. just got something just happened in your. life something just happened what. happened I'm about to get a flu shot and. they're ready for me oh that's what it. is oh boy [ __ ] Chey you're a bad. liar Chey what was the old what you know. what Anthony Richardson should learn. something like that like hey as I said I. got something stuck in my contact lens. oh you.

lied what is oh boy that sounded bad oh. boy sounded bad that sounded very. serious there what. happened I I again I'm talking to you. guys I can't really I'm kind of you know. scroll up it's easy easy hit the bottom. of the phone move your thumb up to the. top of the phone okay so that'll move. the FaceTime up out of the way then. there's a messages thing just hit that. and I think at the top there'll. be read it out.

loud hey again oh I see massive stories. know what it is Colts Ben your. quarterback pet that's a big deal that's. a big oh boy ladies and gentlemen we'll. keep our eye on Adam sher's Twitter. account to see what happen oh. P ladies and gentlemen Adam Jeff what. was. thaty oh god oh boy start guessing what. happened I don't know that could have. been something like at his house that. could have been something but they had.

to see it in like had to see it in like. the the preview of a text right like. they had to already hit notification. pops up person and then what first six. words seven words MH that look like fire. a. coach someone practice oh it didn't seem. like good news yeah like a weird like a. random firing or somebody ter injury. terer burned down that restaurant no. tepper's doing good for Western. carer's doing good he we got to remember. that he did that we we can't are most. teams off today uh Tuesdays yeah yeah.

jets are practicing though Jets Thursday. Night Football yeah this is the day oh. boy which is why we didn't have Aaron on. L they're working into they're working. right now this is a work day they get to. Houston Texans on Thursday night news. about Stefon Diggs comes out like 10. minutes before you know shra breaks that. news uh just like within the last 20. minutes so maybe there's a media maybe. maybe Jets are talking to Media the digs. thing now we were talking about the line. for the game on Thursday night that. makes a lot more sense why the Texans. are underdogs yeah Jets favor probably.

they probably knew ain't that crazy. Jet's favored against Houston Texans. with everything that's going on just I. mean this Thursday night is exactly what. the Jets need just get back on the field. play hopefully get a win but I mean that. is Wilder favorite by what do you think. the old boy what we can't we can't stay. on it forever okay we just we'll watch. jefre Twitter. how about him going oh B oh yeah how he. said it that was awesome oh boy oh boy. oh boy I'm like you got a is there an. elephant outside your car ready to smash.

you potentially then he just oh it's flu. shot it's like well that shot I think is. all right anyways the um the you talk. about firing or whatever the case is I. don't view that as the move that they. did with Anthony Richardson as a firing. I believe this is a hey he's really. young he's been really young he made an. air in a game. uh by making a decision to think it was. okay to leave the field as a quarterback. that is supposed to lead a team into a. very violent sport it's a tough guys.

sport that's what football is. quarterback position has to be the face. of that maybe this is just uh okay. Learning lesson now let's have you watch. Joe again like let's let's kind of maybe. we rolled out too early we're not there. yet maybe we'll be able to visit this in. the future I still assume that Shane and. Chris and Jim ERS and all the powers of. be think that anthy Richardson could. become a great NFL quarterback it worked. with Jordan love sat for three years. Patrick Mahomes sat for one full year. behind Alex Smith in the building he was.

in the building watching Alex Smith. watching how it play playing in practice. against the defense anthy richson we. don't even know if he was in a building. last year because he got injured week. five we don't even know if he had a. chance to even see what an NFL season is. like did he get a chance to watch G mchu. who made the Pro Bowl last year foret. got one play away from AFC South. Championship home playoff game it's like. did he even get a chance to experience. anything of what life in the NFL is or. what an NFL quarterback is last year or. did that all get taken away because of. shoulder surgery I'm thinking the latter. I'm thinking this year maybe getting a.

chance to realize what it is like to be. an NFL quarterback what it means to be. an NFL quarterback how you're allowed to. operate as an NFL quarterback and Joe. flacko being a guy you learned from I. think that's not a bad thing I think. this is a good thing especially if it. becomes a learning moment for anony. Richardson in the future yeah I said it. a few weeks ago him him being you know. benched or putting Joe in there it. wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for. him it's a learning experience. definitely not ideal you know for the. organization for the team you want. ideally for the Young quarterback you. drafted High to develop become the face.

of your franchise becoming alltime great. 10 15 years win a couple Super Bowl. championships but How It Ends is it. necessarily always connected to how it. starts so for him you got a guy like Joe. flacko who can play who can win and this. is a move I think for the locker room. because the locker room you see. obviously you're talking about what. people are talking about on TVs and. microphones but that locker room like. you have convers like every player that. had a microphone in front of him. yesterday that's what I'm saying said. the same thing immedi like you it's. something you haven't seen so it it is a. learning it's going to be a learning um.

spot for him for sure and you hope he. goes on and grow but for that locker. room you have a team you talk about all. the time you paid a bunch of good. players in that locker room this isn't. Max Crosby anytime he speaks he's like. hey I want to be here I want to win I'm. not here and interested in a rebuild. it's a week to week year-to-year league. for these players so it's a big move. once again not ideal and you got to know. everybody's on the same page from. ownership on down you come when you. bench you know your your top four pick. so it's not it wasn't just that play it. was also the low completion percentage. and I don't think the film looked great.

he wasn't protected under pressure I. think 60% of the time but week going out. on Sunday Joe flacko gives this team the. best chance to win now that that's just. my opinion they made the decision. hopefully he grows and once again goes. on to be a great quarterback but I think. it was the better move for the coach. right now yeah I think you just take. everything to account yesterday. obviously didn't help or Sunday didn't. help and The Fallout from it but you. mentioned they paid all these guys like. this this could be a playoff team like. they're good enough to make the playoffs. and Joe Flaco being in there they've.

looked better than they have with. Anthony Richardson in there he gives. them the best chance to win and you. can't really be in a position right like. we're still early in the season you know. it's not week 15 you're eliminated from. the playoffs okay let's put the young. guy in and let him kind of get a bunch. of reps it's like we need to go right. now and flacko gives them the best. chance to go right now now long term. there's going to be people that are. going to look back and say you could. have given Anthony Richardson more rep. you know with that team it's like this. team is what what what years are we. trying to win what years are we not. trying to what game just so I know when. we're trying to win when we're not.

trying to win when one position is not. ready but everybody else is ready is. that the years we're not trying to win. but then when that what do what do these. contracts look like it's like this team. was the Dig situation too they had to. tell he's still part hey you're still. the future I'm sure they told him hey. your your career is not over in India. like we still expect you to be our guy I. hope so these cols fans were mad at me. yesterday for not defending them and. it's like we were just pointing out how. everybody in football feels about it and. here we are legit and now you see how. the team and now this is yeah exactly.

and they have more invested than any of. us exactly still believe in AR long term. good chance to learn know yeah we'll. continue to roll on YouTube and ESPN. plus we'll see you tomorrow wow got that. in there beautiful the hell was Chef he. talking about has he not done anything. yet oh boy yeah I don't know I'm I'm. gonna call him maybe I lie to him tell. not on air does he do that for every. kind of news he breaks does he have that. reaction I don't know oh boy oh boy. about to. bust that hey we're off air we're off. air what was it that be so terrible yeah.

yeah would I'm not going to do that just. me you I'm not going to do that I'm not. going to hey we're still on air we are. still on air and I'm still. driving well Hey listen are you going to. break that oh boy news today should we. be looking on the lookout for something. I'm trying I'm waiting but it's not. ready yet but it's going to go it's. going to happen happen Okay so there's. oh boy news happening at some point. today we'll see I don't know we'll see. you never know what this oh boy this guy.

stinks what you said oh boy I mean that. that was a big reaction twice well. listen oh boys you know it's a busy. League there's a lot of stuff going on. Bo and that's what I got for you right. now Bo Easter egg or Easter egg yeah. where were you last where were you last. week. all right okay Chey I'm done with him. where was I last week is he talking. about about Dev Devonte oh yeah well let.

him to the water let him to the water oh. boy Chey needs to do more eyeball Emoji. tweets it's got to be a big deal though. it's got to be something big it can't be. the old uh can't be catfishing us yeah. it's not a flu shot I mean you it's got. to be bigger than a benching too yeah. cuz he was talking about the benching. and immediately stops who Cas it. wouldn't be an injury there's no way. it's an injury is it big or a fire coach. has to be that's what I'm think fire. coach fire coach would be who could get. fired solic I fired on Tuesday right he.

that was team the Giants he said boys. yeah oh boys Cowboys oh no he did say. boys oh maybe that was uh slip one of. those uh frodan slip yeah Jerry Jones. fired those two radio guys that's. huge maybe I hope not listen you know. how these [ __ ] things go I don't know. if anybody told you I sent in the. questions they are approved you're. welcome you ask them I get the [ __ ] on. my way okay we don't need you guys.

thinking over there you put those. headphones on get in front of a. microphone you [ __ ] say what we. talked. about that's it I can get some new ones. in. here I'm not joking oh it's funny you. think it's I'm not joking I'll [ __ ]. shut down the whole goddamn radio. station you guys know how much you're. worth right now nothing radio [ __ ]. nothing Dallas better than most places. Pittsburgh better than most places I'll. shut it down and it'll just be 24/7 to. Jerry Jones Clips huh is that what you.

want yeah I'll do this [ __ ] show. Cowboys are in an interesting spot bro. yeah they not they keep losing games. it's not a good spot yeah their schedule. is very difficult moving forward and. it's all on Prime we're going to watch. see them all and we're going to watch. all of it might be cooked every decision. Mike mcarthy makes we see it magnified. and then you got a commentator uh either. Tom Brady the goat on it or somebody. else saying is it the I don't think you. should make not a good choice well Tom's. not allowed to do that oh yeah cuz he's.

an not he can't criticize I think he's. done a good job I I do Wonder like 10. years in what it's going to be like when. he can't be around the building and he's. kind of removed from the game you know. cuz he's been in the building for 20. plus years now but what about 10 years. from now he still be watching it know. watching film watching how a game. evolves and you know as we don't I mean. certain things change but a lot of. things you know remain pretty much the. same same [ __ ] different day are you. blocking tackling yep throwing catching.

bu kicking fundamentals tapping out. clock management well you ain't going to. see that anymore nuh I we had never seen. it before I I do wonder if like Roger. Goodell and like the football powers of. be called over like. hey we can't have that become a. precedent at the quarterback position. we're paying $60 million to these. quarter backs okay there has to be some. things that have to. remain if these quarterbacks w't tap out. you're going to have to bench them.

that's just how it is for the go to. football I wonder how much Jim Mery Jim. mer for former powerlifter remember that. people forget former like bodybuilder. powerlifter strives on I was in the. locker room picking up jocks and socks. and everything like that and then his. guy is the guy that's like I'm too tired. think about like he gets very passionate. during the games I would like to know. what his first reaction was whenever he. heard that now he's obviously had a.

fullon rethought and how he will say it. and deliver but his first reaction I. assume was like yeah what are we doing. holy F this can and to once again to all. those Colts fans that were very mad at. me very mad at me yesterday it's like. this is just this is a part of football. I think you all just learned mhm. probably still be mad at you I probably. blame you for him being benched actually. good if I got that much power then I do. know ball okay so you should listen to. what I'm saying you know if if the Colts. are listening to what I'm saying then. maybe you should take me a little bit. more serious when I'm talking but they.

don't and they are not so I am just. pointing out something that maybe you. didn't know because you didn't play ball. this is just a reality of a situation. and we said this earlier and I don't. know if you were on AJ or not I think it. was when you first got on but like. Steelers quarterback Eagles quarterback. like imagine any of those cities. quarterbacks doing that and the reaction. what it would be imagine what it would. be it would be. Insanity all right Pittsburgh can you. imagine the Pittsburgh. reaction they would they would boycott. the stadium they would potentially. boycott the field the next time we Mike.

tomman needs to come out and say. something this is a Mike tomman ISS his. culture look at his oh my God hating. everybody I can't even wrap my head. around it cuz it would that's just. that's not a thing like high school that. no no I'm saying like even even like. high school like if your high school. quarterback is like hey need if anybody. Taps out in high school play yeah you. play both ways in high school like play. safety play quarterback third third and. goal Co hey coach need one here can you. you know run that run that quarterback. with uh Danny yeah and then after the.

game like this tapping out was bad but. after the game not having the awareness. to know like that's not okay like oh I'm. I'm going be real with you I was tired. like nah bro I would assume the PR. department once again I do not know but. I do know the PR department I assume. they didn't just send them out there. probably not I assume there was at least. not I assume there was a little bit of a. hey here's the report out of breath you. know here's some answers potentially to. get around it okay got it I'm going keep.

it 100 yeah lost my. win I ain't goingon to lie to him I. ain't going to lie listen I do you got. to give him credit I guess for not lying. I agree that that is do you yeah do you. I mean yeah I guess the bigger issue is. that it's not the lie you know like the. fact that the truth is he wanted off the. field at any. moment because he was just tired it's. like I can't be the guy we run out of.

the tunnel behind I can't be right. that's not the guy and now they're not. and that's what the Colts said too yeah. but once again learning point Lear pivot. from this yeah we know watch Joey Flack. maybe put a package in sure couple. packages so he gets he's active a part. of it show the dayto day here's the. investment it takes to be a quarterback. this guy's 40 years old been able to do. it a long time maybe go in his back. pocket maybe uh try to figure out how. you survive this how you are an NFL. quarterback for this long and have the. success that you have you know because. he got $100 million contract uh like 10.

years ago long time ago okay so if. that's what you're looking for first. contract cool cool especially number. four overall pick second contract cooler. much cooler way cooler third contract. what we're looking for okay the biggest. if you really want to change everything. in your life in every work your ass off. you have been given an opportunity. because of how talented you are to. change everything in your being forever. you just got to work for it just go do. it and now we get a chance to watch Joe. Flo I think that's a good thing not a.

bad thing very good thing and I think. once again in the long term very very. young and not the same but kind of in. the similar Vin of what's going on in. Pittsburgh like you got a young talented. quarterback with Justin Fields he went. out there and played obviously put his. team in a good situation now you put. Russ in there once again ideally from. the fan standpoint you want the younger. guy who has a lot more tread on his tire. know Russ can definitely get in there. win he's won a Super Bowl before he's. been paid he's been that guy been the. face of franchise for a long time so now. you sit and learn and it's a long long.

long long road ahead hopefully for. Anthony R I hope so I hope he takes it. and stride I hope everybody goes because. this team can win and all of a sudden I. get real excited again you know like the. Jets had had a bad situation they fire. coach Salah all of a sudden Jets fans. get excited yeah they have another loss. they're in a bad spot they bring in. Devonte they get excited it's like for. Colts fans it's like okay I think some. people think maybe we win that game. against Houston this past weekend. Houston's going you know who they are. who they think they are if we win a. couple games here and all of a sudden we.

got it figure it out let's go as. football baby Jonathan Taylor looks fast. again he does Don looks fantastic he's. making assum Pier all over the place. Pitman obviously battling through an. injury I don't even know if he's cleared. he's been clear remember he was supposed. to go on IR a couple he's playing good. for him good for him man they said he. was in huge pain back yeah still anyone. knows your back pain is the worst. situation ever the second you wake up it. you feel it the rest of the day and it. doesn't stop like that's not something. that just like in the middle of the Seas. no you never actually when you're.

sleeping too it affects your sleep it. affects everything so in the middle of. the Season he's having to deal with. something that never stops hurting and. it's not like they have it all figured. out with the back either like he puts th. on it but where it's it's pretty it's. hard to just fix that so he's battling. through and like the defense got defo. let's get to a break on the other side. we got Carl ravage cuz baseball's. happening oh yeah how's it going not. good oh for who good not good at all not. good going great for sh ain't it sh well. not really but about to win a World. Series Freddy yeah Freddy Freeman it's.

Gang Busters and the rest of that lineup. too [ __ ] guys nobody's ever heard of. were just killing the Yankees are you. okay dude it's a good time of you World. Series no like Yankees r a World Series. what what the [ __ ] this is good time. yeah no heart you know no fight oh my. God what the. Yankees I'm just you know you put you. pit NFL one thing okay because like you. have a there's one game a week you know. you lose that one you don't make the. playoffs that's one thing do you have.

you have any idea how much [ __ ] time. and energy I have put into this baseball. team this year and every year we're. talking six [ __ ] months. watching 160 plus games to get to where. they haven't been in 15 years okay where. they should be damn near every year or. should compete for it every year and. then what and then to get there and have. score the most runs in the AL leading up. to it and. just just [ __ ] completely choke and.

drop the ball and not look like the same. team at all not be competitive at all I. mean it just it it [ __ ] bums me out. like you would not believe talk to Carl. ravit on the other side about all that. and more sorry Ty man geez it's World. Series you're supposed to be happy I. thought when Fat Joe walked out there. [ __ ] Fat Joe what. [ __ ] that fat [ __ ] no no fat. lean B yeah get off [ __ ] mouth in.

your goddamn Tims I thought you look. cool no breaking news out of the NFL. let's turn the music off uh deont. Johnson has been traded not to the. Texans no no not to the chiefs no no to. the Baltimore. Ravens this Baltimore Ravens. offense you start adding pieces to it oh. boy is right this this was the old boy. it must have been and I think the old. boy was potentially because he knows. that tone Diggs and Pittsburgh Steelers. fans who have been in the market for a.

wide receiver for a long time are not. going to be necessarily thrilled by the. fact that another weapon who used to be. in your team is going to the Baltimore. Ravens who seemingly have uh a cheat. code on their offense in a running back. that is found a fountain of youth and a. stamina that has been so dominant he. scores every single game Lamar Jackson's. playing better than he's ever played. played couple tight ends they already. have an explosive wide receiver bring in. another gadget for that offense to cook. with pittsbur Steelers fan T Diggs uh.

Deontay Jackson uh sorry Deontay Johnson. comes back to the AFC North how do you. feel about it at least at least at least. this wide receiver we weren't allowed to. be in the running for because you can't. trade a guy and then trade back for him. uh in the same season or maybe two. seasons whatever it is what I didn't. know yeah you can't we could not have. got uh Deontay back so at least that. that helps a little bit um and what also. helps a Steelers fan from Steelers uh. perspective is the offense wasn't their. issue okay they were one of the they are. probably the best offense one of be with.

the Li's best offenses in the league and. he doesn't play corner so it's all right. you talking about the Ravens obviously. the secondary help potentially yeah yeah. and a lot of stats are saying that the. Baltimore defense can give stuff up and. especially late but I like that they're. still making moves over there that's. once again that's an organization saying. hey we're making moves you're the buyers. are sellers at the trade deadline we. still have a week Ravens making another. big time play I love it for the I mean. it's terrible for the rest of the league. because now you got another weapon for. him and it's not like a young guy who's. trying to figure out how to play on this. level Deontay Johnson's tone just talked.

about him a few minutes ago he can run. all the routes he can make contested. catches you know Z is going to be you. know uh the prime Premier guy out there. week to week if he's healthy baitman is. coming along made some big plays as well. likely all these guys and you talked. about the big dogs in the back so I mean. another big web for is that's a is that. a situation where it's like and they. he's performed well against him like. they faced him two times for the last. man this guyy so [ __ ] good like if we. ever get a chance to get this guy let's. let's go ahead and get this guy somebody. on a headset after Deontay Johnson makes. a play Hey if this guy's ever available.

let's try to let's try to get him here. then shefer yesterday makes an. announcement hey he's very available for. a trade which leads zarius uh Smith I. believe the other player that shefer. announced yesterday is available to be. traded is he heading up to Detroit it's. been an active Tuesday here we'll get to. a break on the other side Carl ravit. will join us to talk about the optimism. in New York. and the championship that's potentially. flying to Los Angeles as we speak be a. friend tell a friend something nice it. might change their life like dude wipes. take.

Richardson obviously ends up getting. benched for Joe flacko Stefan Diggs it. gets officialized that he tore his knee. up tore his ACL he's going to be out for. the rest of the year in a non-c cont.

injury then Deontay Johnson gets traded. so we appreciate this man for waiting uh. patiently to talk to us about the. championship of all championships in. baseball ladies and gentlemen Carl. ravage we are sorry we are sorry Ravi. that's 100% on us don't worry about it. it's on the Colts I mean [ __ ] happens. that you do you deal with it not on the. Colts Colts made a decision obviously uh. those uh those are big time decisions. that I'm happy I don't have to make but. certainly I think the Colts team and.

fans know that they can maybe go win a. championship right now let's talk about. championships right now World Series is. happening and Tai Schmidt uh before the. break is a Yankees fan I mean that. sounded that sounded very measurable and. he even said to hell with Fat Joe I. believe is what he said last night Fat. Joe obviously answers Ice Cube in La. everybody thought it was awesome did we. know that what was going to happen to. the Yankees in New York happen to the. Yankees or do we assume that the Yankees. were going to win these ones what's up.

[ __ ] stuffing up the rubber no he's. not yeah he is he just stepped on the. rubber like digging in up there what a I. mean boys boys love it boys are buzzing. of course jazz loves it why what are you. talking about lock. in God a what is your problem Good Vibes. guy he was so mad Rob I didn't know look. he's killing lean back look at him Lean. Back Joey crack dude started the entire. thing he answered Ice Cube face in New.

York yeah did th did those girls know. that did they know that song Oh yes. everybody knows Fat Joe so Carl I don't. need the negativity I all we need T it. enough Fat Joe we hey Joey crack thanks. for everything you've done going Joe. okay I used be Joe My Generation what's. that maybe Big Joe now yeah he's trying. of does look like he's been working out. a little bit been moving those boots. he's been running up to the mountain. he's been running hills give him the. ball for game four let's see what he's. got okay so on that note did we assume. that the Yankees were going to win this.

one at home and uh how do we feel about. the series right now Ravi I don't think. you can make an assumption about. anything other than that they're playing. like crap I mean all of them and um we. all focus on Aaron judge and and what. he's done it's not like otani's been. killing it either they each have one hit. in this series The The Supporting Cast. has been great like with with all due. respect to Fat Joe if Fat Joe showed up. there and there was a backup band be a. little bit better but the backup band. for the Yankees hasn't shown up either. and the focus is been on Freddy Freeman. and that guy right there Tommy Edmund.

every single Dodger is out playing every. single Yankee they are better in every. aspect of the game so far they pitch. better they play better defense they hit. the ball they run the bases they do. everything better than the Yankees do so. no assumption especially with that guy. Clark Schmidt on able to find the strike. zone and that run scored right there Pat. because Tommy Ebon decided to steal a. base with otan up he gets into second. base he scores that little blo base hit. by Mookie Betts all the things that.

winning teams do the Dodgers are doing. and the Yankees aren't How likely is it. for a team to come back being down three. 0 is this over not it's happened once. not yeah not not good in the World. Series I think there have been 24. examples of teams being down 03 combined. they've won three games total like three. overall so if the Yankees were to force. a game seven they would have matched. what every team in the world series. falling behind three games to none has.

done not likely not GNA happen so no. it's it's not likely at all okay Ravi Ty. has some questions for you I will have. you know what you just said is basically. how he's been acting all morning as a. Yankee fan yeah Ravi just curious you. mentioned it how much of this do you. hang on Aaron judge obviously everyone. talks about it and it's tough for me. because obviously you look at his stats. he's batting 91 in the World Series you. know he's striking out damn near not. even competitive b91 yeah correct uh he. batted you know 322 Dam near won the.

Triple Crown this year in the regular. season and that's why I have a tough. time hanging this all on him because. without him the Yankees win maybe 80. games and granted you know like he he's. just so bad in the postseason but you. mentioned it and I've been talking with. my brothers about this like every single. person in the Dodgers lineup especially. the bottom half they have competitive at. bat every single time and it feels like. the Yankees six of the nine people in. their batting order are automatic outs. every single time they get up it just. doesn't matter uh but how much of this.

ultimately do you hang on Judge well a. bunch of it I mean certainly not all of. it in order for a judge to be productive. generally you need guys on in front of. him and you know when you compare him. with Otani these are the two MVPs and. neither has done very well in this. series but what the difference is. between of them when you look at judge. he's 1 for 12 with seven strikeouts um. that's a problem Freddy Freeman who's a. three hitter is seven rbi's in this. postseason so the three hitter the.

middle- of the order guy is not. producing judge is coming off a 2024. season in which he was better than 2022. 2022 62 homers his postseason On batting. average of 139 not good 2024 an Ops plus. ask all your researchers but it's a. stati itic which measures you're on base. plus slugging relative to the major. league baseball average he was 33%. better than the next guy in baseball. that that's how great the regular season.

was the next guy in baseball was sh. Otani Aaron judge needs to if the if the. Yankees wanted to win the World Series. judge had to produce they can win a game. without him maybe two they will not win. a World Series without a productive. Aaron judge the difference between judge. and Otani T hits lead off and he's got a. whole bunch of guys as you mentioned. that are producing behind him mukie. Betts is having a massive World Series. Tommy edmin is absolutely destroying.

Anthony vulpi vulpi 0 for four in game. one 0 for four game two one for four. third game Edmund is four for 11 vp's 1. for 12 there's problems everywhere let. alone Clark Schmidt being unable to you. know to throw strikes the the Dodgers. are taking advantage of Runners on base. the Yankees aren't getting Runners on. base let alone not taking advantage of. them well I think you mentioned it like. the judge hadn't been producing in the. postseason at all so I think that's why.

Yankees fans were like hey they made it. to the World Series eventually he'll. wake up and and they'll be fine and I. think that's what gave me especially. some confidence going in but another. another you know kind of two people that. I think you could place blame on I think. a lot of a lot of Yankees fans are. talking about Aaron Boone going to. Nester Cortez in game one because I. think if Yan if the Yankees win game one. then it's a completely different series. and then also Cashman cuz you look at. what the Yankees did at the deadline. right copek Edmund flare three guys the.

Yankees could have had who needed they. went after flare didn't like his medical. backed out of that trade he goes to the. Dodgers same thing with Edmond and then. copc like they they needed Bullpen help. for you know I mean Leisa got hurt in. the first week of the Season like. they've needed Bullpen help how much of. the blame do you think those guys will. shoulder and you know I I just as a. Yankees fan the thing that worries me. the most is stto had this career year. he's looked unbelievable and if they end. up not winning a World Series this year.

like it's it's no foregone conclusion. that they're going to resign him so what. do you think the what do you think's. going through Brian cashman's Head right. now yeah I I think it's oh you know I. think he's he's he's worried I I think. when stto hit that home run in the LCS. and he could of came out of his luxury. suite and kind of looked up and said. thank God you know that that was a sign. like yeah this was the value of them. your your point is really wellmade. Verdugo versus teoscar Hernandez. Advantage Dodgers strowman versus. flarity Advantage Dodgers Yamamoto that.

the Yankees had a chance to get Yamamoto. $325 million and the Pacific Ocean. apparently that was enough to convince. Brian Cashman we got to compete against. that we're not going to win that battle. uh I think there's a whole bunch of um. accountability responsibility I haven't. won a World Series since 09 like that's. a problem for that team that has become. so used to winning world series 27 of. them so at some point you do have to.

wonder when when does that part get. shifted out and so does one man and you. guys all know this in this sport one man. hardly makes a difference as good as. he's been you you can't rely on him you. can't rely on judge but you need to. depend on them as long as other people. are helping out everybody needs to show. up in baseball it seems like that's why. Shi and Mike Trout were in the Purgatory. that they were with the angels now Shi. goes to the Dodgers first year he's in a. World Series about to win it all Freddy. Freeman what he's doing historic they're.

saying I guess uh what what is the. record right now yeah he's hit a home. run in five consecutive World Series. games because he hit two in the last two. games of the 2021 series he's tied with. George Springer for five in a row is if. he hits one tonight he'll set the record. for most consecutive games with the. Homer in the World Series and he's what. greatest dude on Earth too every. interview he gives I'm like I love this. guy Ravi yeah I mean look he's gone. through a whole bunch of stuff with his. son off the field and guon bar syndrome. and it it was really bad there was a.

time late in this season early in the. postseason where Freddy Freeman would. have preferred to be anywhere but on a. baseball field to be with his family and. be with his son who was ailing while his. wife was taking care of the kid the. kid's doing great kids back home Freeman. gets those days off gets as much as the. ankle recovered which is critical I. think his heart recovered I think his. head recovered I think he realized. things are going to be okay and this is. as a professional a hitter we talk about. professional hitters this is a. professional hitter in baseball he's.

been doing it since he was a kid he. certainly has done it with the Braves. that's why this record continues and. tonight he could break it but Freddy. Freeman doesn't strike out you know you. talk about these three hole hitters. Aaron judge again no homers seven. strikeouts Freddy Freeman three homers. seven RBI he feels good about the way. life is off the field he's killing it on. the field go AJ Robie so what happens. you think the Dodgers they close this. thing out tonight or they let the. Yankees hang around a little bit do it. at home no.

yeah two three2 yeah three yeah yeah. yeah they they have two chances to the. Dodgers to do it on the road look. there's no indication this is uh this is. going to be extended the Yankees haven't. hit um the bullpen concept sort of lets. people think this should be an easy one. for the Yankees bullpen because they're. so damn good right now make nothing easy. for the opponent the offense um until. Aaron judge starts to drive the ball the. right center and over the wall to those. bleacher creatures I would I have no.

reason to believe they're going to win. this game and Luis heel who's on the. mound is a rookie starting in a World. Series game in a must-win game he. doesn't throw enough strikes he doesn't. get enough Chase historically one start. against the Dodgers was okay but there's. a whole bunch of pressure on uh on him. tonight yeah I I think It Ends Tonight. speaking of that Robie do you think that. kind of just kicking it around is there. any chance I mean I know heel is. supposed to go tonight and I'm I was. thinking the same thing like I don't. know if you if you want to extend this. series I don't know if you can put him. out there despite how good he's been.

this year is there any way that they. maybe turn to Cole on short rest just. thinking like we we have to win a game. tonight they have to win and obviously. no boony said boone said no I mean uh I. understand you got to win tonight but uh. he he said no he won't do that and again. you run out a Cole on short rest who's. comp rised and after three Innings let's. just say it's it's one nothing New York. or 0 um you you're you're going to have. to get coal out of the game this is not. 10 years ago when Bumgarner came out of.

the bullpen and gave you five innings. against the Royals to win a World Series. that's 10 years ago five innings out of. the bullpen because he's not built like. anybody else I I I wouldn't I don't. there's no way Cole appears in this game. okay here's some stats from hembo uh you. tell me how vital or how normal these. stats hard to talk about the Dodgers. have outscored the Yankees 7 to one in. Innings 1 through three this series that. has enabled them to dictate terms. pitches thrown whenever leading Dodgers.

301 pitches Yankees 55 what does that. mean obviously early wood is uh good. news for a team and what does it make. the other team do for instance in. football if you get the lead the other. team has to pass normally is kind of the. go so your defensive ends can W kind of. go get it what is the mentality of when. you're in the lead early versus not in. the lead especially in a World Series. game well in this case in this world. series every team that has gotten the. lead first has won won the game. postseason historically you score first. you tend to be in the driver's seat. that's happened obviously in this series.

um the other thing it does and you know. this it doesn't matter what sport you're. in the Yankees the the ballpark was. electric with all jokes about fat Cho. the place was electric last night and. the way that you unplug the electricity. is you score first so when you. neutralize that crowd and every time a. base runner got on there was this. realization like oh God like it's not. going to work and it didn't work and the. Dodgers have been able to make it work. and they they're creating things so. getting a lead is an enormous Advantage.

but again now that you're talking about. um must win in a sense it doesn't matter. like we got to throw everybody out there. with the exception I think of Garett. Cole and of course the starter last. night the other part of this that we. didn't even talk about is the idea that. the starting pitching which was supposed. to be a bit of a Advantage for the. Yankees has absolutely been a complete. Advantage for the Dodgers like Walker. berer looked like Vanderbilt Walker. berer he was that good Yamamoto looked. like the guy that was worth $325 million.

again they're peing right now while the. the Yankees are playing about as poorly. as they have almost all year obviously. the Dodgers win a World Series you'd say. any contract with show he and. everybody's worth it but like obviously. this is what it's all about and the. numbers in Japan are they still gigantic. for these games off off the charts look. I'm not a huge social media guy you're. about as good as anybody on that that. I've ever seen But when Dave Dave. Roberts told me that sh Otani was good. to go two million people viewed that.

that's Japan I mean two million people. that doesn't happen so that shows you. how huge he is worldwide and certainly. how big it is in Japan yeah they have. watch parties over there they're going. to start the Major League Baseball. season in Japan next year I need McAfee. if you're going to Dublin you may well. go to Japan start of the start of the. baseball season I love the country of. Japan been there before it is very nice. very awesome and show will be. electrifying maybe we do go over there.

oh wow idea Carl not a bad not a bad. idea especially that gets us involved in. baseball early in the season then. obviously we'll track it if we get Paul. skes vers Shi over there I mean consider. it booked we on our way uh we can't take. you enough show biggest star in the game. right now obviously in the world wins. World Baseball Classic right MH yeah now. about to win the World Series Freddy. Freeman obviously going to win the MVP. if they end up winning it but that's. good for baseball I think as a whole I. think it's good for baseball you agree.

you think everything's been good for. baseball oh it's K he only it's suck for. baseball right now is a three nothing. World Series and a series we all hope. would go six or seven games the other. part of that to to your point it would. have been nice if they kind of just kept. in their back pocket that Otani was. unavailable to pitch we could have got. to a game six or seven and maybe maybe. there was the threat that he was going. to come out of the bullpen CU we've seen. him since the middle of the summer. throwing seeds in the bullpen you're. like yeah maybe why not why wouldn't we. want to see that but they they they sold.

they sold the horse out of the barn. there well maybe hold on Yankees get hot. tonight okay Fat Joe com back yeah they. start running in this entire thing it. gets a three three oh whoa whoa whoa. whoa we got to slow the momentum that. what are we going to do oh. you know what that long arm of the law. is sh Don coming out there I mean that. would be electric hey we appreciate the. hell out of you Ravi congrats on another.

great baseball. season good to see you thanks for having. me you too ladies and gentlemen corl. R I don't know if you heard while that. conversation was happening we had. another Power s just sounded like two. bombs went off we don't know what is. blowing up uh there was a bomb sound. over here uh there was another one over. here I think there was one in the back. I'm excited to learn about all of that. but with that being said we lost our. screen we lost our we lost our screen so. we cannot do everything DB good D bad D. we will push that to tomorrow that's a.

tease okay all right tonight we got uh. the World Series game correct we got. hockey tonight Nick is there any hockey. yeah a lot of hockey okay and we got. basketball happening NBA on TNT tonight. yep okay couple college football games. as well okay the raan Cajun oh really oh. yeah former home Billy. Napier be going back who's on TNT you. know basetball I'm not sure to I don't. know but they're swinging a hot that. show I mean they've been swinging a hot.

bat for the last yeah but last year yeah. it's been at first some good one they do. fire us M oh really it's like said that. last dance it's Mavs t-wolves so an Luca. and Pelicans Warriors Zion okay. so we need to watch Inside the NBA. mhm it's been really the clips at least. have been really good for sure all right. I'm a fan of the program can't wait to. watch it we'll be back tomorrow we're. going to figure out this power ratio. though I W to let you know it's weird. shout out to whatever power system was.

rolling that kept us alive yeah that. one's working yep we need every other. one to get like that one get on the team. and when that happens we'll be AOK. nonetheless we're back tomorrow AJ you. worried about Ohio State this week sound. like you were a little worried you were. kind of Mumble and J I never did now you. you heard me you heard me loud and clear. not worried No I obviously yeah excited. for the boys great opportunity I agree. fourth top five matchup of the Year. already third yeah every week every week. we get awesome match up dude call the.

ball bro it's great doing it Bama. Georgia Ohio State Oregon Texas Georgia. now this fourth fourth top five match up. of the. Season realignment everything happening. it's scheduling it's working it's. working it's working not that this one. obviously it's a big 10 but it is. working it is I don't know what the. offseason conversation is going to look. like this upcoming year after a college. football playoff and the biggest numbers. that they've had in a long time for all. the whole sport last year was all doom. and gloom it's over remember there was. an essay that was written by somebody.

that said we'll still watch I guess. remember yeah I do. remember I forget who it was who was it. was uh rright Thompson rright Thompson. wrote an essay about college. football and the way he broke it down at. least how I heard it and I don't know. how everybody else heard but the way I. heard it was like they're kind of taking. away everything that we [ __ ] loved. about this sport but I guess we'll still. watch it and then just like moved on I'm. like God Dam that's pretty depressing I.

hope that's not the case I hope they. don't take away everything that. everybody loves because what college. football and the college football. Community has done for that sport all. the tradition the amount of investment. in loyalty and passion into college ball. if they did fumble that bag with the new. rules with nil and realignment. everything that would be one of the. biggest mishaps and fuckups in the. history of sports instead it feels like. passion and pageantry is still very much. there tradition still very much alive. big- time matchups almost bringing them. and spotlighting them even more than. they ever have in the past college ball.

even though it's chaos with some of the. rules and what's allowed to happen. what's not allowed to happen hopefully. that gets figured out the quality of the. product and of the sport is great so I. hope we continue to ride that wave. legitimately hope we continue to ride. that wave college ball as long as as. long as as long as the play on the field. is so high level and is we get these. matchups like how could you there's. hopefully you can't mess that up yeah. but the fans are a big part of the. program in college yeah but if your. teams are good if if you know the blue. buds stay the blue Buds and we have.

these teams like Indiana keep coming up. and all of a sudden becoming studs like. yeah we're going to be good we're gonna. be. fine I love what Elco is doing now yeah. it's incredible Colorado doing like. actually living up to it already. eligible yeah they could be 12 team. playoff very. muchow the Champions making it like so. much hope for everybody is there a packo. championship here yes we're it we're. still we have a shot soon as that gets.

was like all right now we got a politic. to become we got to start winning games. so it looks like we're at least one of. the top 15 because like in in every. League like ACC Miami C uh Clemson pit. SMU they're all still alive Big 12 has. like six teams still alive SEC Big 10. they all have at least four or five. teams still alive like it's this point. in the year that's unheard of all right. college ball showing up NFL is as well. we'll be back tomorrow we got to figure. out a we got a big Power problem yeah we. do GNA fix it a couple Transformers are. dead probably dude that was a loud boom. a couple of them it brought the.

boom that's what it did it brought the. boom not just one but two d right over. there I can't let's go watch that clip. Jimmy Fallon in a big. boss I'm excited for you guys watch. check it out I'm excited for you guys to. see the whole thing all right we're back. tomorrow be a friend tell a friend. something nice that might change their. life like our friends at dude wipes. dumpkin spice Real Deal oh yeah you want. your butthole to smell good mhm and feel. good yeah after you take a massive [ __ ].

Hands-On approach they have uh assembled. a and pieced together a plan to help. this hvaf which is a homeless veteran. shelter here in downtown Indianapolis. that burnt down this past weekend 50.

plus homeless vets left Without Shelter. heading into the winter months so wish. for Our Heroes enacted a GoFundMe link. and also I believe other people around. the city I think Black Rifle coffee has. already donated $10,000 I think the. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is getting. involved to try to help this out help. out everything and I'll be matching. donations up to. $250,000 uh if you go on X you can see. the wish for Our Heroes wish the number. four the letter R and then Heroes they. have the GoFundMe linked everywhere.
