>> Damn it. >> Your friend tell a friend something nice. could change their life. sport. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble the boat the draft kings. thunderdome on this football is the. greatest Tuesday September 15 2026. This. sports program begins now. Football. >> is incredible. Week one of the NFL slate. wrapped up last night at Arrowhead. Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri as the.

Chiefs proved that they is still the. Chiefs. The Chiefs went crazy last. night. Now, Kenneth Walker being added. to this team, I think, is a special. addition. This could take us back a. couple years where the Kansas City. Chiefs had a run game and a powerful. defense. And Patrick Mahomes had to. basically learn how to not be a. quarterback that wants to throw the ball. of the time. Hand the ball off, defense. will get you stuff, and then when we. have a big third down or a late fourth. quarter, we need a drive. Patrick. Mahomes and Travis Kelce would make. their magic. Well, turns out it looks. like they got the same script for this.

particular season. And this guy K9. obviously Super Bowl MVP had 221 carries. for the Seattle Seahawks last year. Has. this magnificent run with them? Leads. them to a Super Bowl. Gets the MVP. Then. he's out of the building. And you think. to yourself, well, they had Charbanet, they had a couple other running backs. Was Kenneth Walker really that. impressive? Why do the Chiefs love him. so much? Well, >> what we found out is the Chiefs love him. because they're going to give the ball. every single They handed the ball off to. him. They threw the ball to him. Whenever Patrick Mahomes was looking for. things, he found K9. They had another. back that was able to spell him a little. bit. But with Kenneth Walker, Eric. Benemy being back in the building too. I.

think he's kind of hard-nosed tough. trenches type guy if they if you listen. to what they're saying in that locker. room. That team was fun to watch. Pash. Bones didn't even complete a passer for. 10 yards. Now Travis Kelce goes for 57. Yes, he did. >> And I just so happened to be watching. that particular catch with the entire. Kelsey Swift family. Okay. It was an. incredibly hot box, loaded box, excited. box, enthusiastic box, boughtin box. And. watching him do that was awesome. You. know, cuz there was a lot of questions. Travis, you know, last season wasn't his. best season. Obviously, he's another.

year older. He's about to be 37 years. old. Is he still going to be a weapon? While broke some tackles, strided out, was obviously open for Patrick whenever. he needed it. And you know what? A lot. of people say a couple years ago maybe. gets in the end zone. I don't know. I I. don't know if he does. I think he looked. fast. I think he looked incredibly. strong, confident, and comfortable in. that offense. So, if Patrick Mahomes is. only going to play better, which we. assume is going to happen. >> Mhm. >> And then he looked pretty good. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Yes, it did. when he got introed. last night in it was cool to be a part. of the pregame festivities. Shout out to. everybody for allowing me to be a part.

of Monday Night Countdown. That show was. cool to be a part of. Excited to get the. flow of that and uh you know celebrate. what the weekend it was and the game. that's coming and the way Scott Vanpel. operates is cool to watch. I mean he's. obviously a legend in the game. Jason. McCordi incredible. I he was absolutely. phenomenal. Jason Kelsey his energy is. the greatest and also one of the best. offensive linemen to ever play football. And then Swagoo down. I don't think. people know how big Swagoo is. >> I was walking behind him up the T. So we. get kicked off the field after Monday.

Night Countdown. >> Okay. Excuse me. >> Not allowed to BE ON. >> GAMES ON ESPN. >> I know. And also like we're supposed to. We got the halftime show coming up, you. know. Uh but we get kicked off the field. basically. So you know, like, hey, you. guys need to get the hell out of here. So there's a bus RV. Shout out to Blue. Compass RV. I think we gave credit to it. in the Monday night countdown thing and. that popped up on the screen. I was. like, shout out Blue Compass RV. Getting. a little bit of a run here. But they. have an incredible bus. So, we kind of. get kicked off the field until two. minutes left to go do the halftime show. and then we got to get back off the. field, please, or whatever. That was. interesting. I found that very. interesting.

>> You got the owner in the show. >> I know. How much money are they paying. to have Monday night football? What? >> I I don't know. It was just It was an. interest I'm learning a lot. I'm. learning a lot here. I'm like, uh, can. we watch the the kickoff? Got to get off. the field. >> Get your ass off the field. >> I'm like, well, I'm doing the national. anthem. I need to hear the hum of the. That was electrifying. The fly over. So. incredible. Fly over. We have that. bomber flying over. There's a little. prop plane above it. >> Oh, >> okay. Like one of those ones that flies. like a flag behind it. Didn't have a.

flag behind it. Was just kind of flying. over. So I'm watching this thing. Oh. yes. And I go this way and I see this. little prop plane. >> Had a bomber flying under a prop plane. out there. Okay. That was just like kind. of a mindblowing experience in that. But. then the way their fans delivered that. felt like a college atmosphere. That. felt like a college atmosphere. That guy. crushed the absolute hell out of the. national anthem. Place went crazy. whenever they showed him on the board. I. guess he's probably done it before and. has nailed it every single time. But. yeah, that bomber flying over the Chiefs.

kingdom going absolutely absurd. Broncos. fans were in the building as well. They. were very loud. It felt special in. there. Now we get summoned off the. field. Get the hell out of here. It's. like, all right, okay, cool. Would be. nice to be able to watch this baby. Okay, we'll go up to the bus. I'm. walking behind Swagu. Holy [ __ ] house. >> This guy. >> Yeah. I mean, he is this wide, this. tall. He's just casually walking. He's. got like maybe the greatest attitude. I've ever been around. I don't think. anybody's ever seen him down. Obviously,

one of the best fathers of all time, but. whenever you look at that set, I just. couldn't help but look around. I'm like, that guy is first round draft pick. This. guy, Hall of Famer, Jace McCordi, absolute stallion, Super Bowl, which. everything about him is incredible. and. then Scott Van Pelt to go. It's like I. am so lucky and thankful to be there for. all of it and getting a chance to chat. about that game beforehand and then. seeing it kind of unfold. It's it's fun. week one, you know, to kind of guess. what a team's going to do, but now are. we in the position we know teams. >> like are the Broncos dead because Davis.

Web is calling plays, >> you know, and Miss Laura at halftime. goes, "Uh, how was that first half not. calling plays?" He goes, "Ask me after. another half." and they have the worst. performance that a Shawn Payeyton. offense has had in like whatever 100. years or whatever the case is. I think. that amount of yards that they've had. has only happened one other time in the. history of Shawn Payeyton offense. So. Davis Webb is certainly going to have. the eyes of Shawn Payeyton upon him for. the entire length of this. >> But Shawn Peyton told us whenever we. talked to him at the combine, he. basically said like uh I think he's.

about a year or two away from being a. coordinator, but the rest of the league. maybe wanted him in there. Here's from. Shawn Payeyton at the combine. I I think. this this young coach, and I say young, Davis Webb is something. Um, and sure, it's funny the timeline that when you. have a young coach like a Joe Brady or a. Declan Doyle or any of these guys that. that I've been fortunate enough to hire. when they're young coaches, like what. you think is their timeline of success, position coach, coordinator, head coach. is always two years behind what the.

league sees. It's much quicker. What the. league sees is uh the rest of the league. trying to hire your guy to potentially. do something and it seemed as if he was. alluding to like I made the move for. Davis Webb because some other team. wanted him to be a coordinator and I was. a big fan of his after last night's. performance. Do we give more credit to. Spags in the Kansas City Chiefs defense. or do we have to question how this. offense is going to be? We saw Bo Knicks. lead the number one seed AFC seed uh. team Denver Broncos last year. He looked. great.

>> There was moments where Bo Knicks looked. like a bonafide quarterback. now. obviously wasn't as consistent at the. quarterback position. Obviously, there. was some stuff that he had to continue. to grow, but he's a young quarterback. Maybe he'd be able to do that. You bring. in a brand new play caller for him. Is. this going to stunt the growth of Bo. Knicks? Is this going to change the. entire Denver Broncos future? Is this a. decision that Shawn Payeyton's going to. regret? That's what everybody is. immediately talking about. But I think. we should maybe give a little credit to. the Kansas City Chiefs defense, too. I. mean, the way they played was. outrageous. So, last night, my big uh. takeaway, Chiefs is still the Chiefs.

Denver Broncos certainly have to wonder. about that play calling position of. Davis Webb. How long does that last? Does Shawn Peyton just kind of let that. happen? Is he standing on the sideline? We shall see. Everybody's wondering that. question. And I think the Chiefs defense. is for real, which is a run game and a. defense and Patrick Mahomes. Are the. Chiefs all the way back to getting to. the mountaintop? Nine-year NFL vet Debut. is here. Your thoughts on kind of my. takeaway from last night and do you. agree or disagree on that with the. Denver Bunkas maybe just running into a. stout Chiefs defense? Yeah, that's. definitely a part of I mean, imagine. your first test being against a.

multipletime Super Bowl champ and Steve. Spagnolan. He's rebuilding that defense, especially in the secondary loss. You. know, didn't have any starting. experience basically starting last. night. You saw the rookie get his pick. delay early in the game. But yeah, I. think it was a tough test. And uh look, Shawn Peyton, he has the trust in his. young guys. Sometimes we see the. promotion within or elevation in money, how much they're getting paid, or. elevation in responsibility. So, obviously, he trusts him. He likes him. Now, how how much is how long is that. lease, you know, and and I mean, even.

above Shawn Peyton, which obviously. Shawn Peyton is running the show, but. you think about that ownership group and. you go out and hire Shawn Peyton and you. pay him all that money. You hire him. because he has been a wizard of a play. caller. We've seen this done before. Demo Ryan, he gave up play calling. duties as well. He's a great play caller. in Houston. So, we've seen it done. before, but when you have the. expectations that you have in Denver, you want to see that quarterback. You. want to see Bicks continue to evolve, continue to get better better. So yeah, those are fair questions. This is a. tough test and maybe it's like how we do. with players. Maybe it's the first.

quarter of the season, then we. re-evaluate things, but we know. sometimes these coaches are impatient. Maybe it is two games like, "Hey, if you. don't get your [ __ ] together, we have a. Dan Campbell situation where he's taking. over play play calling." So we shall see. something to definitely keep an eye on, but I think all fair questions after. week one. >> Yeah. And I was so impressed with the. Chiefs defense because they had young. guys in multiple positions. Obviously, that was going to be a question mark. going in. And I assume Davis Webb was. like, "We're going to find out. We're. going to find out." Delane gets a pick. on the first play. Yeah, I I mean that. was He gets hurt on that. That sucks. Gets tackled like a quarterback in that.

entirety, but what a phenomenal play. Third and 11. Obviously gets a pick. early. Place goes crazy. I don't even. know if we were out of the tunnel yet. Don't think I saw this play, but it was. certainly awesome as we were walking out. getting escorted. Well, we can't even. watch. >> bag over your head. >> We can't walk. I was so flustered by I. was very intrigued by that entire series. of events. But I will say what that. defense did last night I think put a lot. of Kansas City Chiefs fans. >> kind of worries to a little bit of ease. Patrick Mahomes as well with how he was. moving. When he gets introduced into the.

stadium, >> let alone Benson, okay, left tackle, >> undrafted rookie left tackle out of. Indiana. He played right tackle, right. guard in camp. Hey, congratulations. You're starting left tackle, a position. you haven't played since high school for. Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, this guy going to. be greatest of all time in your rookie. season. not drafted, just a few. I don't. know how this guy slips through the. cracks. By the way, I know we got the. draft process all figured out and we all. have so many different ways to look at. it and maybe there's something that we. don't know. How does an undrafted rookie.

end up being the starting left tackle. for the Kansas City Chiefs with Patrick. Mahomes and have a night that's. seemingly quiet cuz nobody nobody even. notices. Yeah. I had to show up at mini. camp and say, "Hey, I hope you'll sign. me 66 330 national champion who could. play right guard, right tackle, and left. tackle." What super genius? I guess all. teams let that just kind of slip through. the crack. I have no idea how that. happens. But when he gets introduced. onto the field, >> I mean, it was uh. >> I was like, golly, this guy doesn't look. scared at all. And then Travis Kelce. comes out obviously the place erupts.

Last first home opener potentially, you. know, in that entire and then Pat. Mahomes is last. And he comes out. flexing. Okay. He comes out flexing. It's like, okay. And then he starts. bouncing like back and forth almost. It's like, is he testing me right now? Like as he's going out there, is he kind. of seeing what it is? There was zero. hesitancy. Nope. There was zero like. fall off. There was zero like limping it. felt like. And his mindset mentality was. like, I I need to go get it right now. So, I enjoyed the hell out of watching. Patrick Mahomes play football. I was.

very lucky and thankful to be an. arrowhead. And uh I think the Chiefs are. still the Chiefs and I think people are. going to have to deal with them the rest. of the way. Now, one game, how much can. you judge? Did the Broncos play ass? Did. the Chiefs play out of their mind? Did. they get some good bounces? The Denver. Broncos not get the uh best bounces long. season. I think Chiefs is only getting. better. I assume the Broncos are as. well. >> They better. >> Did they tell you. >> 28 missed tackles? >> Yeah. Did the Broncos tell you. beforehand on the field that they. weren't going to tackle anybody last. night? Like, >> you know what I realized? This is an.

interesting thing. A lot of guys when. they didn't have their uniforms on and. they were warming up, >> boy, >> I had no idea who the [ __ ] anybody. >> helmet. Helmets are crazy. >> I I started No, no helmets. >> No, no. I mean like just like watching. NFL when they always have an NFL or a. helmet on. I'm saying like it's. >> need numbers. >> Yeah. So the only reason why numbers. names. >> Yeah. I I need a number. I need. something out there. Just I saw. Courtland Sutton. And the only reason. why I knew that is cuz JC Kelsey said, "Is that Courtland Sutton? He looks like. a stallion. This guy is just an abs. You.

forget everybody's a monster. >> Like everybody out there is an absolute. monster." And then each Jack guy, I. didn't know which guy was which guy. So, I was dapping up a couple people, tell. them they're gonna have a great season. Turns out they were just equipment. manager. >> Hey, Jack. Everyone part of the team. >> I got to figure that out, though. I I. got to start reading through the. program. But no, I had no heads up that. they weren't going to be able to tackle. anybody. This Denver Broncos defense was. the staple of the Denver Broncos. This. Denver Broncos defense was the story of.

the Denver Broncos. They led the NFL in. sacks the last two years. So you would. think with a hobbled Patrick Mahomes. with a left tackle that wasn't drafted. just a couple months ago has never. played the position since high school. that the Denver Broncos would feast. Instead maybe coach Tomlin what he said. on Sunday Night Football is kind of. ringing true here over this first week. And how long should we expect this to. potentially last with defenses just not. being physical? >> Yeah, f first couple weeks you got to. get acclimated to tackling again. We. talked about it here when uh AJ was here. to reiterate that Mike Tomlin point. The.

only time we take guys to the ground, the only time you're live tackling once. you get in the National Football League. is on game day. So now you haven't. tackled all offseason. Now you got to go. out there and tackle Kenneth Walker or. Rasheed Rice or Travis Kelce in the open. field or Patrick Mahomes in the open. field. And that's that's very very. difficult to do. But I mean 28 missed. tackles according to NextGen Stacks. unacceptable. Uh Kenneth Walker. responsible for 14 of those. He's. obviously dynamic Super Bowl MVP. mentioning Eric Ben and me being back in.

the building and as they get you know. Patrick Mahomes back up to speed first. year he hasn't played in preseason and. the timing the things it it just didn't. look right in the passing game. especially early but we only expect that. to get better we talked about it. yesterday with Joe Burrow the Bengals. winning despite Joe Burrow not playing. great same thing the Chiefs you should. be more worried if you're not a Chiefs. fan to see these guys go out win with 15. not playing his best ball. >> the run game accounted for 56% of the. Kansas City yardage yesterday which is. the highest percentage in a Patrick. Mahomes game college or pro. That's a. Hembo stat shout out to him. And it was.

obvious at the beginning. I mean, see. that? >> Yeah. >> Boom. >> They can't stop it. See that? >> Boom. Right back to him. And it was like. that Chief's place. Oh, there's another. whenever Kenneth got introduced. >> Yeah. >> It was a awesome welcome to the city. And then it was a great welcome to the. team by Andy Reid and Benemy just to. hand him the ball. I think they they. gave a big loud announcement to the NFL. Hey, the reason why we signed a Super. Bowl MVP is because we're going to go.

back to we're going we're going to try. to pound the hell out of teams. And I. like that they're taking that stance at. this stage because that's what the rest. of the NFL is doing, too. What? We had. more 13 personnel this year or this. weekend than we had seen in a long time. Run game, under center run game has. become more prolific. Just a couple. years ago, everybody was shotgun. spinning all over the place. Then Saquon. Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles lead. the NFL in rushing. They have more rush. yards than pass yards. and we felt a. little bit of a turn of the tide going. back to the old school football and now. we're fully entrenched in it and we're.

seeing more points. >> than ever before. Yeah, I think it's a. nice little mold of the high-flying. offense and then the power football of. the past feels like we've landed in a. beautiful little spot. Now, will the. defenses after they're able to tackle. people and realize that the regular. season has started? Okay. Will they be. able to catch up to what this offense is. now with the pounding, the pounding, the. pounding, will we get super boring. football games week six through like. week 13 whenever the defenses are all in. their prime and offense are just kind of. stalemating into each other? There's a. chance. But week one showed us offensive.

football is alive and well in the NFL. And it has an old school sense to it as. well, Con Man. >> Yeah, it's electric. I mean, anytime. you're getting points, points, points, you're going to love it. I mean, the. amount of running backs who scored. multiple touchdowns, I can kind of go. through some of them in my mind. But. like Henry Walker, Gibbs, uh DeAndre. Swift, I think had three touchdowns. Like the running back explosion is. coming and it's kind of awesome because. then maybe those contracts will go up. But if you are a Denver Broncos fan, probably panicking today. But like we.

just mentioned, their defense missed the. most tackles in the history of football. Probably they're going to be okay. their. offensive line. How many times was it. happening where Spags had eight guys. right in front of him on the line of. scrimmage kind of playing that mind game. with Davis Webb? It feels like Davis. Webb, he'll figure it out. Now, I don't. know if uh the Waltons are going to make. a call to Shawn Payeyton and say, "Hey, if you don't start calling plays. tomorrow, we're gonna have to figure. something out here because we just built. you this new practice facility and our.

team looks like absolute shit." But. that's the other part of it too for the. Broncos. Like Wadd and Knicks never. really got on the same page. We heard. about Waddle all off season, how great. he's going to be. Feels like that's. going to develop. I don't think him or. Courtland Sutton had a catch in the. first quarter, damn near the first half. So the Broncos, as bad as they looked, it did feel more so like we forgot how. good the Chiefs are, how good Spags is. as a DC in general, how good Andy Reid. is to pivot his team in, use the. offensive line. So I think if you're a.

Broncos fan, you're okay. Okay. I I hope. so. >> I hope so. Yeah. I I genuinely hope so. >> Or at least the gap is, you know. >> I mean, Scott Scott brought it up uh. last night when I said, "Hey, the Denver. Broncos were 11-2 last year in one score. games.". >> Yeah, that's always. >> that's like a big-time football god's. blessing to you for a year. >> That normally finds its. >> Yes, it does. >> That that does kind of offset every once. in a while. And I think that's what. Scott was trying to say. I hope that. doesn't happen to the Denver Broncos, but I think the past has told us like.

whenever you get super duper blessed and. get lucky bounces in these one-sore. games, which most NFL games are, normally the the level is found on the. other side, usually the next year, and. everybody just goes back to the. Minnesota Vikings from a couple years. back where they go on that miraculous. run and I think they win like 12. one-score games. I think there's like. eight comebacks or something and then. the next year they're like 0 and seven. in those particular games. Yeah. cuz. it's like crazy how you know football. works like that. I hope that's not the. case with the Denver Broncos, but we. can't overreact after one week,

especially with the amount of talent. they have. Now, I will overreact to the. fact that we lost our bet last night. It's going to win half of the hammer. D. Cowboys AP tone. Uh it was plus 600. Yeah, obviously those are big time odds. And as soon as they came out and they. started handing the ball off to Kenneth. Walker, I thought to myself, yes, this. is exactly what we need to do. Davis Web. Webb, I assume, was going to do the same. with Dobbins on the other side. also had. Harvey. I I didn't expect that to be. such a split. I thought JK Dobbins was. going to be getting the ball a little. bit more. Nonetheless, Kenneth Walker. scores. Probably could have scored a few. different times. He did score twice, but.

we see nothing from JK Dobbins and. Denver Broncos. Why'd we lose, Tone? And. uh people are telling me that we're. supposed to win these things. Why' we. lose? >> Well, if we're looking back to what. we've done uh this season, I believe. we're now 4 and2. So, that is winning. Um you're not going to win them all, especially when it's plus 400 boosted to. plus 600. So, you know, those people can. relax. It's called gambling, you know. >> And also, be responsible. >> Be responsible. >> Don't gamble too much that you're mad at. me whenever, >> okay? Because we told you specifically,

>> don't be an [ __ ] here. >> You shouldn't be mad when you lose. >> Well, you should be a little bit upset. when you lose in anything. I think you. should have a little bit of a should be. bummed out. But listen at yourself. >> We felt pretty good about it. Did feel. like we were on the right side there. with the way the game was being played. Now, on that note, JK Dobbins was. nowhere near a touchdown ever. That that. was kind of heartbreaking. >> The Denver Broncos, besides the uh drive. after Mahomes rushing touchdown where. they went down and scored a touchdown. there, they were nowhere near a. touchdown either. So, I would blame the. Broncos uh more than us because they.

played their worst game in over an. entire calendar year. Uh. >> thanks, Web. >> Yeah, thanks a lot. >> That's who to blame. >> Actually, it's Shawn Payeyton's fault. >> Boom. >> Okay, so I like that. I kind of agree. Bo Nicks took a huge leap last year. Like I understand you don't want to lose. this guy. You like him. You think he's. going to be good, but like it wasn't. this a possibility? He took a huge step. Shawn Peyton's one of the best OC's of. all time, one of the best play callers. of all time. Like can't we maybe like.

maybe meet somewhere in the middle. instead of just being like, "All right, kid. You're calling the plays. I'll be. close by." He even said he was like, "I. had to make sure I I got to do something. with my right hand so I'm not constantly. getting in there." Like he wants to call. the plays still. so badly. It just I. It's one week. It's hard to overreact, but like that's a big Bonx is still. young. Like he can still get to that. next level. I I just It seems kind of. crazy. And if he throws for five. touchdowns next week, I'll look like an. absolute [ __ ] but still. >> Well, Davis Webb might dial it up. Certainly last night's Spags had his.

number. Joining us now, ladies and. gentlemen, is junior NFL insider for. ESPN and NFL Network. Icon, legend. He's. an actor, he's a cooker, he's a cat. owner, right? Pez enthusiast. >> He is loves Pez. Also Harry Potter, I. think, is a big fan. You guys are. walking to Waror. He'll probably be. about that. >> Hogwarts. >> He does smoke meat. Loves smoking. >> Yeah. The most. >> This guy smokes a lot of meat. >> Smokes meat for a living.

>> This dude smokes maybe the most amount. of meat I've ever seen. You You open his. IG story, you're going to see him. smoking meat. Yeah. Yeah. >> Ladies and gentlemen, the massive meat. smoker himself, junior NFL insider for. ESPN, Ian Raptor. >> Yeah. >> Right. >> Let's go. What's up? I mean, you're. right. That was that was actually one of. the nicest things you've ever said about. me. Um. >> I think you're a great meat smoker. >> Love smoking meat. >> I I've never experienced it personally, but from optically outside looking in.

>> Mhm. >> you might be one of the best meat. smokers to ever exist. >> Yeah. watched him smoke me before. >> You have? >> Yeah. I mean, I've always Now, to. experience it is different, obviously. Um, >> and maybe at some point you will. Uh, but you're right. Optically, I am. amazing. I do great IG stories. >> What's going on here? >> I'm not saying you, but maybe you or. someone you know could experience it and. you could learn how good of a. >> Never mind. What's up? >> Had great meat last night. I will say. had had some fun.

>> Where' you go? Where'd you go? Where'd. you go? Uh it was the con Levies was one. of the companies that does the uh. stadium concessions. They smoked some. short rib for 17 hours. >> Oh, right. >> Not enough. >> Yeah, it was so good. That's good meat. That was good meat. And I'll tell you, I. like Jason, Kelsey, and Swagoo excited. to eat the food. You know, like on game. day, they bring. >> Yeah. >> food for a thousand. >> Yeah. And then the flies just eat it. >> Well, no. The crew gets to eat it.

afterwards, which is great, but it's. always an interesting move on like what. do we eat? How do we eat? Also, you're. showing us eat how entertaining feed to. eat. Yeah. Yeah. Like what? >> So, feeding Sabin has just become a fun. thing because I don't think Coach Sabin. wants to grab anything. So, it's like. I'm just trying to help a lad out who. certainly needs some food, but it's on. TV. So, what do you actually do? These. people, Swagu and Jason Kelsey, just. dove right in. I'm like, "Thank you. Thank you for that. And Scott then Scott. Vanpel kept saying like, "You don't want. to watch me eat, man.

>> You don't want to you don't want to. watch.". >> They were all They were all saying it. >> and I'm like, "What?" I was I was so I. was. >> I was befuddled. I really was. I'm like, "What? What do you Are you a monster? Like, what does it look like?". >> Good. >> Yeah, it was so good. That That was the. burger and then there was a little short. rib. Then obviously there was a 17hour. thing and then look, they're saying you. don't want to see Scott Vanpelt eat. He. eats like a monster. And Scott's like, "I'll eat this when we go off air." And. I'm just why do we No, we're doing that. right now. >> Eat it now. >> And then he took a massive bite. They. didn't get on camera and he did kind of.

eat like an animal. I would say he had a. huge bite. >> Jaw displaced almost. I was very. impressed with him. But so much fun last. night. Let's get Let's move on from. smoking and eating meat. Let's go to the. meat of this thing, which is obviously. ball. Let's go right last night. Monsour. the lane gets a huge pick, but maybe AC. joint. I don't want to be guessing. anything. What are your what are you. hearing about him? Because obviously. that's a massive piece potentially gone. from a very young secondary in Kansas. City.

>> Yeah, first of all, look great. I mean, the Chiefs have been really high in him. forever and I mean we saw him basically. run the route for a receiver yesterday. get a pick. Like this is a guy who's got. a really really high ceiling. Uh so he. had a sort of hairline fracture in his. scapula. uh I believe in well he had it. previously then then came to training. camp sort of had it evaluated and was in. a red jersey for a lot of training camp. landed on that same injury so heard it. didn't feel good obviously came out of. the game but he's getting an MRI today I.

would say they are hopeful that it's. just a sprain there's not anything. significant and you know you hate to. speculate on injuries and I would never. want to do that but a best case scenario. here would be that he landed on an. injury he previously cured hurt and it. just felt weird like that would be a. great outcome. Um it didn't seem like. structurally there was a major issue. here but anyway MRI probably around now. and hopefully we'll have more uh by this. afternoon. >> The place was upside down. Great. turnover on third 11 first series. I.

mean what a way to start this particular. season for the Kansas City Chiefs. And. let's flip over to the Denver Broncos. side. Obviously was a huge piece of our. conversation. We love Shawn Peyton. We're a big fan of Shawn Payeyton. Davis. Webb taking the reigns. He told us at. the combine like the league is normally. two years ahead of what you would like. to do with your young coaches. So it. felt like he was saying that other teams. wanted Davis Webb to be their. coordinator. He might not have thought. the time was perfect for it, but he felt. obligated maybe to give him his. opportunity because he felt like he had. earned it and deserved it after a.

lackluster performance last night. One. of the worst uh offensive performances. by a Shawn Payeyton team in forever. actually. So, can you just tell me a. little bit about what the future holds. here? How we should view this? And we. all just assume Shawn Payton's going to. be taking the headset and the clipboard. from him. Is that reality or not? >> I hope not. I I I You're everything. you're saying is true and accurate and. like this should be a major discussion. point today. When you have the kind of. offensive performance you have, this.

should be the conversation. But I hate. it. I I do because Davis Webb is a. really good young coach. Shawn Peyton. did this for a good reason. He probably. would have lost him if he didn't make. him the play caller. You want to keep. good, smart coaches in your building. And Shawn Peyton, as good of a play. caller as he is, he is just as good of. an evaluator of coaches. So, he knows. what he has in Davis Web. I I thought it. would be better. I think everybody. thought it would be better, but it is. also not a oneweek thing. Play calling.

is hard. They didn't run the ball. enough. Uh now Sean Payton also doesn't. run the ball enough which is why he. writes like run the ball on the top of. his play sheet you just to remind him. but it is going to get better and the. Broncos believe it is going to get. better and I hope what they do is trust. in their really good coach to use the. lessons and make it better. Week one is. weird. It's always weird and spags as. you guys were talking about is awesome. We got reminded of that yesterday but I. do not believe this is a short-term. experiment for Denver.

>> Okay, sounds good. We'll obviously keep. our eyes peeled to that. Let's go to. another injury that took place early. though. Opening night at a quarterback. position, not really being chatted about. at all. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, rap sheet. Is there any kind of. update on Sam Darnold? Obviously, I. mean, it feels like it was, you know, two weeks ago at this point, but it. didn't look great. And um here in. anywhere, you know, like two to three. weeks, but then there was the hey, they. dodged a massive bullet here. Do we have. any idea how long Sam Darnold's going to. be out for? >> Yes. So, uh, not going to play this.

week. And so, first of all, as far as. the injury goes, we've been calling it a. hip. It's actually a it's a butt. Like, hurt his glute. Hurt his butt muscle. basically. You know, kind of jarring and. weird and looked strange. Um, but he. hurt his butt. Um, which is actually a. great outcome because in the hip socket. it seems to be absolutely fine, which. like you know all like everyone on the. internet is basically assuming that he's. got like the Tua injury like this was. not that or not even close. So I would. say the Commander game in week three is.

17 days from when the Seahawks played. There is at least a chance that he plays. in that game. So I would say probably. missing one or two games which is like. really really good outcome. >> Can you explain further a little bit? Is. a bruised butt, sprained butt, pulled. butt. What type of butt is this injury? Because it looked bad when he was. walking. The the walk looked bad which. led us all to believe it was a hip. What. happened to his glutius maximus that.

could potentially keep him out here for. three weeks, you're saying? >> Listen, I'm not going to get into all. the details, but I don't even think it's. a glutius maximus. There's other glutius. muscles that I believe. >> Oh, like the minimus in there or the. odysius, the glutius. >> I don't. multiple glutius uh situations. So, I. don't believe it's the maximus. I. believe it's one of the others. Um, but. yeah, I mean I think this is it looked. and this is sort of the problem with. injury reporting now is it looked awful. and then the actual outcome you get all.

the tests and it's like pull a muscle. Um, so I mean look at that. He looks. like it's Yeah, looks like straight to. the hospital. Also scary. >> Yeah. And they got out of the hospital. in the morning. Also scary. I mean, all. of it was very scary, especially for a. quarterback that just won a Super Bowl. with a team that is obviously poised to. do do great things again. Happy he's. going to be back, but also Drew Lock. >> Yeah. >> Hey, you call Drew Lock your bodyguard. >> Yeah, your body guard. Yeah. Tone has a. question for your rap sheet.

>> Yeah, I do. Rap. Uh, adding injury to. insult for the Chargers lost to the. Cardinals uh on Sunday was an injury to. Lad McConi who was doing great. Five for. 82. I believe Justin Herbert was. targeting him left and right and then in. the fourth quarter or before the fourth. quarter he goes out and their offense. goes to absolute [ __ ] What's the latest. update on Lad because that's a huge. injury for them. >> Uh it sounds like this is one that's. going to be evaluated this week which is. to say daytoday not like anything. significant. So that's good. You know. it's it's a rib injury. Is it a you know.

a little pull? Is it a fracture? I think. it's it is in the rib area and seems to. be acute and not major not significant. They listed it his chest, which of. course makes me be like, what internal. organs did he hurt? But no, it's just a. rib. Um, we'll see if he plays this. week. A lot of times guys do with this. injury. Um, but it's going to be more. dayto-day. And by the way, talking. about, you know, the the hype and. reporting and everything and all that. Um, I went on our pregame show and.

talked about how Mike McDaniel can call. plays that he's never been able to call. because of Justin Herbert's arm, which. is all true. And then they went out and. looked bad and I'm getting roasted on. the internet. Um, yeah. >> So, this was a bad game all around for. everyone, including. >> Yeah, man. Getting roasted on the. internet really stinks. >> Yeah. Yeah, man. >> One day, one day you'll learn. >> Yeah. Yeah. I'm sure they came after you. for that one, man. I'm sure you're. getting absolutely killed. I used The. internet used to be like my favorite. hobby. >> Mhm. >> I can't even go on there anymore.

>> It was awesome early in the early days. I just get murdered on there and then I. look I'm like. >> like why are you saying you never watch. I don't you've never tweeted about. sports before in your life. Why you get. out of my world? I'm just trying to talk. about. >> lot of bots hot bat right now the NFL. being back the internet. >> Yes it is. >> Yeah I mean these bots if they are bots. incredibly clever and seemingly very. personal attacking people you know it is. uh it's been a fun run on there but we. never want you to get made fun of on the. internet. Okay. There is a man who is a.

lightning rod in real life and on the. internet and we got a chance to ride. that experience again. And we didn't. really get um I mean a lot of info out. of uh uh senior yesterday. Sure. >> But remember senior still has JJ. McCarthy conversation. happening around him. So Ty has a. question for you rap sheet. >> Yeah, senior's judgment's clouded when. it comes to this because he wants JJ. McCarthy in there. But wrap sheet, what. are the odds that Carson Wentz kind of. takes the reigns uh on this Vikings. offense and just runs with it? He looked. great yesterday. Obviously with the way.

concussions are these days, we have no. idea how long Kyler will be out or if he. will be out. Um what are the chances. that Carson Wentz I mean I assume he'll. start against the Bears this week. But. if he plays well again, are we looking. at Carson Wentz QB1 in Minnesota for the. foreseeable future? >> You know, I would be surprised at that. I think with Kyler, you know, it's it. sucked. I mean, obviously it sucks most. for him. Um, but you know, everyone was. looking forward to seeing the different. dimensions this offense can have with a. really dynamic quarterback who could.

move to move to throw, which is really. the fun stuff. Move to run is great. Move to throw in the pocket. That's like. the really fun stuff. I'm still excited. about that. Minnesota's still excited. about that. I'd be surprised if Carson. took the reigns and ran with it. I'd be. surprised if he was their starting. quarterback because it Kyler is going to. come back and I would expect it to be. him. But what we did see, you know, we. spent so much time, not we on the show, but also we on the show talking about JJ. McCarthy versus Kyler. And we really saw.

why Kevin Oonnell trusts Carson Wentz. like this. He's 34. He's been through. it. He's seen everything. the ability to. go in there with minimal reps and just. be really good is like and I mean he. just rolled like that was impressive. This is why he's the backup. Like I. still believe JJ can be really good. eventually. Like we've seen quarterbacks. take far more securitous routes, but man. Wentz was awesome awesome on Sunday. >> Yeah. And I think he knows the offense, right? At least he understands what it's.

supposed to be cuz he'd been there the. longest out of uh you know at least over. Kyler. And maybe Kyler gets an. opportunity here to watch the offense. run too. gets a chance to kind of uh. watch some film for the Vikings because. remember he just got dropped in this. past off seasonason. You're the starter. for the Vikings. Obviously, it doesn't. go great to start this entire thing. We. already got a turnover and we got a a. concussion in this. Now, he gets to sit. back and watch maybe Carson operate and. then whenever he gets dropped in there, maybe it goes even better. But if Carson. Wentz just starts dealing, >> tell you, what he's the first backup.

quarterback since 1950 to come in and. have three touchdowns, zero. interceptions. If he does that again. against the Bears, which is possible, Bears, Panthers just put up 37 on the. Chicago Bears. Not that we don't respect. the Carolina Panthers offense, they. might have found something down there. for real. Bryce Young might have had his. come out moment last year and he might. be on the trajectory of being great. >> New play caller there, too, by the way. >> Where? Down in Carolina. >> Yeah, Bradick calling the plays now. And. that was that offense was awesome. >> Well, that's what everybody's obviously.

complimenting the Bears as we should. just a phenomenal performance on the. offensive side. Ben Johnson calling a. shot. Caleb Williams looking like a Ben. Johnson quarterback more than he had. looked last year. But on the other side, Carolina Panthers put up a lot of. [ __ ] points. I I mean, they they had. a great start to their season as well on. the offensive side. I think get some. stops. Hey, remember the Panthers, >> it's a good football team. good football. team which makes us obviously have even. more respect for the Chicago Bears cuz. they obviously get a huge win cuz we. like the Panthers but if Carson Wentz. comes in there.

that's a hard thing cuz what is your. loyalty to Kyler. >> he was a fan when he was a kid and we. brought him in. >> okay. >> okay we respect that but the real. loyalty is to the team so if Carson. Wentz wins games for them I don't think. they're in any rush to go back. >> great to well that's what it is bro. >> that is what it is we lived it we we. actually live this thing with Carson. here in Indianapolis. >> Loved it. >> Yeah, he does have good ball security. >> Yeah, but he looks better now, >> you know, like he looks better than he. did. I feel like. >> 104. Yeah, he threw three touchdowns,

zero interceptions. I I mean, I didn't. see one time where he balanced himself. on the football on the field. I didn't. see him try to bounce a football off an. opponent's helmet just because he wanted. to in the middle of a play. I I didn't. see any of that stuff, guys. >> It's not quite Mard hunting season yet. either. That's when it really kind of. goes sideways. Yeah, Minnesota's way too. cold for him to be hunting ducks. >> Couple months here. >> No, it's already over. Minnesota way too. cold. Those ducks ain't flying. >> You remember last year, first weekend. when tags came out, he's got his pickup.

September 6th to till November is when. it. >> Yeah, but the only ducks in Minnesota. are the mighty. >> The mighty ducks are the only ducks in. Minnesota. >> Hunt. That's a fair point. >> It's way I mean, and no offense to. Carson Wentz or the duck hunters. I. assume for a duck to survive in. Minnesota, it's going to have to be a. slow fat duck. >> Yeah, probably. >> Yeah. So, that's probably a. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. Of. >> course it is going to be a. >> quack quack quack quack quack. >> You can't help insulting. >> You got I I'm assuming it's just fat. ducks. I I mean, how could you survive?

It's so cold up there. >> That's not even a nice thing to say. >> The fat ducks. >> I mean, >> you smoke their meat every day. What are. you TALKING ABOUT? YOU'RE SMOKING DUCKS. MEAT EVERY single day. Wild duck. >> Yeah, that's not that's disrespectful, too. What you're doing, this duck, whatever the case is. >> It's what they're there for. >> Tyler got Call of Duty coming. >> Is Call of Duty coming? >> Yes, it is. >> Oh, yeah. >> Carson's got duck hunting season coming. JJ McCarthy might still be in this. thing. We'll see if these guys can. remain focused.

>> But if Carson Oh, I didn't even think. about that. Nine seasons already begun. If I mean, Kevin Oonnell is going to. have to balance through all. >> They got Max Bromer, the hometown kid. They might have to turn to him. >> Yeah. Well, we don't know what his vice. is either. I know. I mean, we have no. idea. But if Carson Wentz plays good. football, >> I don't know why Kevin Oconor would. think about changing anything at this. particular point. >> Big if. >> So, I guess we just kind of ride it now. Big if also uh turning to the Pittsburgh. Steelers. >> Yeah, >> Joey Porter Jr.'s not on their team. What What the hell is going on?

We obviously we got a bunch of corners. paid this off seasonason. We thought JPJ. was going to be the last one paid and. then the injury popped back up. He. didn't play week one. What's the uh most. recent update with JPJ out in. Pittsburgh? >> All right. So, what what the team has. said is that he's ramping up and you. know, he didn't practice all camp. So, he's got to get into shape and obviously. you never want those soft tissue. injuries. You want to make sure a guy. has a chance to ramp up. He's also was. dealing with a back injury which is why. he wasn't there at training camp.

>> Oh, no. >> Obviously. >> Um and then there's the contract part of. it. And so because the Steelers don't. negotiate during the season, when that. didn't get done, that was the end of it. Most other teams, almost every other. team, you'd say, "Okay, well, keep. working on it." But that's not going to. be the case. And what I've been. wondering and what something I reported. on on Sunday is the possibility of a. trade. Now, we there are teams that are. corner needy teams. He is a very good. player with a contract situation that's. a mess. They're obviously at a impass.

It's been not in a great place for a. while. So, does someone step up and say, "We need a really good corner. He's a. really good one. These are guys are hard. to find. I'm going to trade for him.". Pittsburgh has been open to trading him. The interest based on their price has. been not there yet. Um, but definitely. one to keep tracking on who he ends up. playing. >> Raphy, which which teams out there top. of the list or miss maybe something. you've heard already? >> Chiefs got a guy hurt last night. >> Giants.

Uh we'll be we'll yeah I mean Chiefs. will see because if Dellayain is hurt. and I mean look how you know Bred Beach. will make a trade. He will be he'll be. risky. He will make a trade. Lions lost. Terry on Arnold. That would be another. one I'd keep an eye on. Um you know I. mean there's there one interesting thing. here is we don't know. really. significant. >> Good point. >> And so yeah I think so. Yeah. >> We lose it. There you go. Um, we're.

back. Hold on. We're back. >> Uh, anyway, we don't know which team is. going to lose a corner, um, or have a. significant injury and so definitely. something to keep watching. >> Who's driving you right now? >> Um, >> I got my buddy over here. >> Introduce yourself. >> Hey, when you got in the car, did you. say you shut up and keep it cool in. here? >> Turn the air down. >> Uh, no. I was like, "Oh, don't worry. I. might I might be doing an interview, so. just you don't worry about it.

>> And he said, >> let's just. >> He or she said interview. Wow, are you. famous? And you said, yeah, shut it. >> Is that what you said? >> Uh, in my nice tone, yes. >> I also turn the air conditioning up here. just so to make sure I look all lot. going on. I did a little pelon before. this, so you know, >> we're really proud of you, Rap. You. seemingly got it all figured out, honestly. Yeah, it feels like you got it. figured out pretty good. >> We'll see. We'll see. Maybe one day you. got one day you got a senior. Especially. like.

>> to take that jump from junior to senior. Like a lot has to happen. >> You don't even got a senior. We already. got the senior. >> Yeah, we're not talking about now, bro. You got no. Oh, jeez. It sounds like that is right. in the back of your mind, though. While. you're on that pellet, he's got a. picture of Sheffy just. >> No one's job safe, though. Rap. Keep. going, brother. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. >> What the hell? >> Whoa, whoa, whoa. We don't like that. We. We We do know. We like the two junior. senior at the top kind of doing their. thing there. But senior would have given. us at least a team or two that was at. least snooping around. >> always. And that's kind of the thing.

>> It's got to be a team that wants to pay. >> I gave a team or two. >> No, not really. Cuz your your service. cut out because you and the uh driver. that you said, uh, don't talk to me. >> Told guy to shut the hell up. >> Yeah. And the guy said, "You know what? How about you shut the hell up? Let me. turn to the no service part of town.". >> Yep. >> I'm driving in New York City. How could. there be no service? Like, how is that. possible? Happens every day. >> Yeah. It's crazy to think about. You. know, that city is uh it all figured. out. I've been told. >> Starlink was supposed to take care of. us. Starlink is not even there. >> Well, I think in the city actually it's. worse as much as traffic. Yeah, Starlink.

actually works like where there's. nothing. >> [ __ ] rural areas here, pal. >> That's why. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. City not a Starlink. Starlink not. a city thing. That that is uh airplane. the greatest. Yep. >> Cuz you're up there on a cloud. So. there's not right next to it. >> Yeah. You're kind of touching the. satellites satellite. Starlink satellite. actually above every plane is just going. like this. It's the uh it's the clearest. picture. Best face. It is. Wow. What a. life changer. We're watching eight games. >> up there on Starling. In a city though, it kind of gets caught up, you know,

kind of like this right here. >> So many frequencies. >> You know what I'm saying? Caught up. >> I flew back from Delta and lost Wi-Fi. for 2 hours. So, Starling must be. amazing. >> Well, I think there are some planes. companies from my understanding that. won't make the switch over there. >> Yeah. I think for some reason I don't. know. >> I think we do know why, but I I think we. don't know why. That guy just went over DC and just kind. of. >> Danny a little bit. >> He he just went over there.

>> Yeah, I figured out. >> digital payment systems at the. beginning. Uh figured out rocket space. I took over the biggest platform on. Earth. Uh yeah, I'll go DC. Just figured. that out. Pissed off I mean everybody. And they just I saw a Tesla driving uh. dropping off at uh preschool. >> Mhm. >> Had a uh bumper sticker on the back that. said Elon with a line through it. >> Driving a Tesla. >> Right. So it doesn't get keyed. >> Exactly. >> HEY, I'M ON YOUR SIDE. I DIDN'T KNOW. they were. >> that was happening. Yeah. That was a.

>> sneaky tool. >> Yeah. Yeah. Delta. Yeah. Exactly. >> Hell yeah. >> Yeah. He might have Yeah, he might have. been driver behind this thing, but it. was the engineers that made it, of. course. And then slapped it. It wasn't. me. Don't do it, please. I like it. because I think we're supposed to be. helping the world, but I didn't buy into. all the other stuff. That's kind of. something though. You do kind of just. get linked with every decision that. somebody. >> Certainly. Yes, you did. >> Every single time. >> Feels like a weird time to be alive. >> Mhm. >> We're lucky to be here though. Con man. has the last question for you here, Rap. Sheet. >> Yeah, Rap Sheet. Some interesting news. yesterday broke from your senior. Uh.

Drew Brees was going to play for the. Denver Broncos in the AFC title game. What What is that situation? Is that. real? How close did that get? Or is that. just one of those things, Chef was, you. know, just letting people know, hey, this could have happened. >> I don't like that. >> Uh, I mean, I think what I wanted with. this story was I wanted a good photoshop. of Breeze in a Broncos uniform. Um, I. didn't get it, which I was. >> a little upset about. Um, but I think. one thing that sort of happened last. year was. >> the Philip Rivers comeback kind of.

showed all of us that anything is. possible. Like I I mean Tom Brady's an. owner now obviously and can't play. obviously, but like I kind of do wonder. if he could. So the thought of Drew. Brees at 47 coming out and playing is. crazy. But like I get why the Broncos. reached out to him and were thinking. about it because like. probably could almost do it and anyway. would have been fun to say. >> So this is real. Okay. Anybody else get.

asked like Payton? Does Payton ever get. asked? like uh I. >> I'm sure. >> really. >> I'm don't you think although by the end. he was not in a great place so. >> okay. >> this is Ian rap. >> I mean's. arm was. >> we were calling yeah but Philip Rivers I. mean we were calling I think everybody. was kind of saying a lot. >> yeah they were saying that for the last. 10 years of his career. >> yeah so maybe these guys get out of the. game. >> I'm not going to say they try any. science or anything but maybe they get.

out of the game. Maybe they get a little. bit more healthy. Obviously, Drew, >> maybe someone needs a punter. >> I was asked. I mean, that happened. multiple times. Yeah, that did happen. multiple times. We told that story. >> When was the last time? >> No, it was after co CO was the biggest. one cuz we were too good at staying away. from CO. I didn't have the antibodies, so I would have had to have the 8day. hotel lockdown and they needed me that. weekend. So that it would have been a. super. >> You almost did it like you would have.

you would have done it. >> Tampa Bay Buccaneers had punter and. kicker uh whenever Tom Brady was down. there, Bruce Aren's head coach. Bunch of. my coaches uh from the Colts were down. there and they obviously had seen me. kick field goals in practice throughout. my entire career and obviously punt. So. they had kicker and punter go down with. COVID. So I get a call, it's like, "Hey, obviously a lot would have to happen. We'd have to trade with you for with the. Colts for you, yada yada yada. But first. things first, we got to find out if you. have the antibodies. Can you see if you. have the antibodies? Because if you have.

the antibodies, you can bypass the eight. day hibernation thing that has to happen. because we need you for this weekend or. whatever. So we what I pricricked my I. found I pricricked my blood and we all. just kind of stood around this thing as. we were waiting to see if I was going to. be kicker and punter, which first time I. never did that in the NFL for the Tampa. Bay Buccaneers with Tom Brady as a. teammate in four days. I think it was. like four days from then or whatever. comes back negative on the antibodies. >> We were doing too good, >> weren't we? We were six feet away, right? We weren't even making eye.

contact when they were telling us not to. make eye contact. If we would have done. that, I potentially Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Super Bowl champion. I'm part of the. boat break. >> You're wearing a Super Bowl ring. >> And also, both the guys came back past. didn't have it. So, I would just been in. sweats on the sideline. Go boys. Go boy. I would had to do anything and I would. have been a Super Bowl champion. But. instead, we had too much respect for co. we had the proper Well, I don't know. anymore. We we had the proper amount of. respect for co ends up. Okay, Rap. We. appreciate you, brother. Uh have a safe. You're driving really far. I hope you. get to wherever you're headed and uh.

thank you for joining us today. >> Me, too. Thank you guys. Always fun to. hang in. I'm glad we had service for a. lot of this. >> You're right. Shout out to Elon. But. also, >> yeah, >> don't keep my car, ladies and gentlemen. You're w. >> ladies and gentlemen. Obviously, the NFL. just wrapped up week one, but college is. delivering every single weekend. Thursday night obviously kicks off. another weekend of college football. This Saturday, Lane Keifing and LSU. travel up to Miss College Game Day will. be there. But what happened last.

weekend? What do we need to know? What. are the main topics of college ball? Well, to do that is the host of College. Game Day, both basketball and football. A man who loves the sport of college. football. A man who has a lot of. influence in the sport of college. football, as he should. legend, icon, ladies and gentlemen, Reese Davis with. Reese's Pieces. >> What's going on, Ree? >> Man, I'm glad to be with you guys again. And I I noticed there that rap started. to try some beef with Elon Musk. That.

was fun. >> Yeah, he did. >> Yeah, he did try to bring up Elon a. little bit. But, you know, that's uh. this program versus other programs. We. will dabble in those things that we. don't know the entirety about. And that. has been a problem for us uh along the. way. That's why we bring in people like. you to help us out, Ree. This weekend, what was the story and what do you think. college football is really buzzing about. right now? >> You know, I think it's buzzing about. what you just said about Lane Keifin's. return to Old Miss. And I saw something. last weekend, Pat, that I think might be.

important come Saturday night in Oxford. Sam Lev, as great as he was opening. weekend when we saw him field level. against Clemson, had some issues against. Louisiana Tech. He threw three. interceptions, two of them in the red. zone. This one you're seeing going back. a 100 yards against Louisiana Tech. They. turn the ball over four straight times. >> We've seen how effective Sam Levit can. be running, but can miss turn him into a. passer and say, "You're going to beat us. time after time after time throwing the.

football. We're going to make you make. another play." Now, Miss hasn't been. great against the run. They let Lincoln. Keenholtz run on them from the. quarterback position a little bit, but. if they can do this, I think this could. be a big factor in the game because. Trinidad Chamblas, I think, is going to, even against that great LSU defense, going to get his. So, is Sam Levit going. to be able to stay away from the. mistakes and beat them throwing? I think. he's a big deal. Those interceptions. against Louisiana Tech raised a little. bit of an eyebrow for this weekend for.

me. And we've seen him turn the ball. over some at times in his career. There. are a couple of other games this weekend. I think that are being a little bit. overshadowed because of LSU and Old. Miss. The first one I think of is SMU. and Louisville. And through two weeks of. the season, what we've seen from the two. quarterbacks in this game, you've seen. the top two guys in the country in total. offense. And Kevin Jennings from SMU and. Lincoln Keenholes from Louisville, the. guy we just talked about who was. effective both on the ground and.

throwing the football against Miss. I. think that these two teams, winner this. game, you look at as maybe the best. challenger to Miami and Miami plays. neither of them in the regular season. So, we might see this somewhere down the. road. I'm really looking forward to this. game because what we've seen from these. two in the first two weeks of the. season, explosive offense. I think. they're going to go up and down the. field, too. There's a game on Friday. night uh in the Big 12. Houston at Texas. Tech. Now, if this were on a Saturday.

and there was no such thing as LSU and. Old Miss, we might be making our return. trip to Levik. This is a really big game. in the Big 12. But both of these teams. so far have struggled against Oregon. State. Oregon State under a new head. coach, Demarcus Shepard. They went to. Houston, gave the Cougars everything. they wanted until the fourth quarter. And then when Texas Tech went to. Corvalis Saturday night, they did the. exact same thing. Little side note here, I know we like to keep up with the. rising stars. Have you guys noticed this.

wide receiver from Oregon State, Jesse. Lgree, went over a 100red yards against. both of these guys and put 240 and two. touchdowns on Texas Tech Saturday night. My first thought seeing that was, man, what a great job Jamarcus Shepard did. recruiting him. He's a freshman from. Baltimore. And then my next thought was, he better keep recruiting because I. imagine I'm not the only one that that. noticed the productivity so far. And. then the last thing, and I have to offer. a bit of an apology for this one,

Oklahoma State and Oregon. I think. Oklahoma State coming off that loss to. Tulsa against Oregon at home, Drew. Mestaker told his teammates, "You got to. forget about this stuff and then went. out and balled out, overcame mistakes, and then put his body on the line to get. into the end zone late." And they beat. the Ducks. Now Oregon to me is at a. crossroads. They've got a get-right game. against Portland State. And last week. when you guys were kind enough to have. me on, I was like, I'm not worried about. Oregon. No, they didn't look great.

against Boise State. I was wrong about. that. I'm officially worried about. Oregon. Oregon looks sloppy. They look. complacent. And they look a lot more. like Clemson and Penn State from last. year. Teams that had high expectations. that came nowhere close to them than. they do, say, Notre Dame a couple years. ago, dumped a game and came back and. made it to the national championship. game. And also the Oklahoma State people. have been upset, Pat, because we were. doing the warm-ups or actually I think. it was before we talked to landing on. Saturday. I I made a comment sort of a.

snarky one admittedly that said Oregon. or Oklahoma State had won 30 straight. home openers and I was really glad I got. that note in because it was about to. come to a screeching halt. >> I was wrong. I was wrong about that. >> You said that? I didn't even hear that. I like that. >> Yeah, I was I was wrong about that. Now. it's 31. >> I wish I would have heard that. I would. HAVE BEEN LIKE, "WHOA, STEVE SAID. SOMETHING ALONG THE SAME LINES.". >> UH, that would have been spectacular. I'm sorry I missed that. We We had that. great AT&T connection with Dan Lanning.

He hits the crossbar for $550,000. donation. I think we're all thinking. like, okay, Oregon feels like they're. back. Had a mishap. Now they're going to. do their thing. What a special game by. Oklahoma State. Actually, as they're. trying to rebuild an entire program. right there in a whole new chapter, a. whole new era. I enjoyed that for them. I mean, that's just a part of what makes. college football great. Now, on that. note, you can have one loss early in the. season and still do everything you want. to accomplish. New coordinators over. there, offense and defense, for Dan. Lanning. Is he able to eyeball who's the.

right coordinators and hire them and. continue that turnover that's going to. happen at a top uh program? I guess we. find out. There have certainly been. misses at coordinator position hires and. has set teams back. And then like when. you realize it, >> [ __ ] we've already put so much into. this. How could we have guessed? We have. to adjust. And if they were to have that. situation continue to broil, >> that would suck for all the guys that. went back to Oregon this year to kind of. do this thing together and it ends up. the way it does. Now, as you were.

talking, Ty Schmidt just kept saying, "Hey, yeah, what's going. >> Yeah, Ree, I just wanted to say you did. miss that uh Virginia Tech is officially. on, you know, lookout mode because they. might win the ACC because James Franklin. is officially back on his bull spit.". >> Hey coach, Michael House with the. Baltimore Sun. >> Hey, Michael. >> Um, >> hey Michael, >> what what do you remember? >> What do you remember about what do you. remember? How you doing Michael? >> Michael, how you doing?

Can you hear me? >> Yeah, I'm saying how you doing? >> Good. How are you? >> Good. Good. >> Um, what do you remember about working. alongside Coach Lockxley in those early. years at Maryland and how has your. relationship evolved since then? >> Yeah. Hey, uh, why don't you say hello? So, Ty, you just wanted Reese to. understand that James Franklin is in. complete control down there in. Blackburg. >> Yeah, I think he was just he was kind of. trying to find his footing a little bit. This is the James Franklin from Penn. State that I know. And that's how if. you're in the ACC, you should be, oh.

boy, he's back. The bad man's back. And. I don't know how many, you know, top. five teams they have on their schedule. So, look out for Virginia Tech. >> Press conferences certainly get a lot of. combos in college football right now. You know, uh, Ree, anything you thought. maybe you were going to put on the. fringe there that needs to be brought up. or mentioned that isn't maybe James. Franklin's press conference? >> Uh, first of all, James is going to be. testy whenever they play Maryland. because he was coaching waiting there. one time. They didn't hire him. He stuck. it to him with a late touchdown. His. time expired in a 447 game a couple.

years ago. He's always going to be a. little a little edgy when uh whenever. his teams, wherever they are, play. Maryland. I think the other thing, Pat, is you start looking at teams with high. expectations and ones that don't. deliver. Um that Oklahoma performance at. Michigan was ungood. I mean, credit. credit to Michigan. Credit to Michigan, but man, their offense looks a mess. a. mess, you know, for Matier and the guys. that they have coming back. So, I'm I. think we find out a ton about Oklahoma,

not this weekend, but the next when they. play Georgia, and we'll find out. everything about Oregon when they play. USC in a couple weeks. And credit to. Michigan, by the way. That was a I know. they won the first game. They're they're. undefeated, but that was a great answer. after all of the controversy uh from a. week ago against Western Michigan. Congrats to Michigan fans getting a. chance to celebrate a big time win over. the SEC and over Oklahoma. And now the. Western Michigan stuff is just in the. deep, deep past. Whittingham's era has. now officially started. Kind of how.

we're all going to view it as we move. forward. And this thing is just flashing. cuz I think it's trying to be like what. Texas was like on Saturday night. What a. win. What a comeback, Ree. And we were. sitting there at halftime talking, especially after the third down where uh. relique Brown doesn't get the first. down. He's a yard short. Then fourth. down comes end around then Ohio State. takes advantage. Jeremiah Smith had like. 112 yards in the first half and multiple. time it's like this Ohio State team. they're getting the ball coming out of. half. We thought that we thought that. was dead in the water. We thought Sarkc.

Texas. Yeah, right. Another egg was kind. of laid instead. Now Arch has three top. 10 wins down there at DKR. Now Texas has. maybe the best comeback we might see all. year against the number one team in the. country. And now it has us all believing. like maybe Texas has it this year. Your. thoughts after that game ends. What hap. goes through your mind immediately? And. what a special special environment to be. a part of. So lucky to be there. >> It it was fantastic heat speaker in your.

ear everything even. So it was it was. fantastic inside that stadium Saturday. night. And you know, seeing Arch run. around celebrating afterwards, it was. like a billion pounds had been lifted. off of his shoulder. And I'm really. excited to see now if maybe we see. complete and free Arch Manning because. there were a couple of times as watching. the game and hey look man you guys who. who played forgotten more ball in the. last 5 seconds than I'll ever know but. it almost it almost seemed like at times.

he wanted to see it open and then he. would try to overcompensate by just. throwing it a thousand miles an hour and. it led to some inaccuracy. does a win. like that, that comeback kind of let him. relax and really truly play to his. potential. Um, so I I think it was a. great moment for Arch and a huge moment. for Texas going forward. >> Yeah. And it felt like it was uh. something that maybe that fan base. needed cuz I don't want to repeat what. some of the people in the stadium were. saying at halftime,

>> but boy, they were excited to see Sarkc. maybe leave town. And then you have the. second half that you have in the fourth. quarter that you have and all of a. sudden it's like, yeah, this is what. we've been waiting for. Now, Debbot has. a followup about Texas. >> Yeah, Ree, I got to ask you every week. Last week, I believe you said Notre. Dame, LSU, uh Texas. Are they the top. team in the country now? And if not. them, then who? >> Um, I still I still have Notre Dame. ranked number one. I put Texas number. two because I wanted to honor the. victory. But if you watch the entire.

game and I realize it's a far greater. opponent than anybody Notre Dame's faced. so far, but kind of watching the whole. game, it was really hard to get to the. place where I think this is the best. team in the country. They certainly have. the best win and the best moment, but. you know, I think they have the. potential to be right there. They've got. other great opportunities. Trip to. Tennessee coming up. Tennessee, who I. think is really good, maybe even better. than I anticipated. Um, but I I don't. have him on top right now just because. the entire game they didn't always look.

like number one. >> Okay. So, you have a differing opinion than our. guy. One half of the hammer. Cowboys put out his above average poll. And guess what he has on top? Tone has. Texas as the number one team in the. country in his above average poll. because there are average polls out. there. >> People that don't really know. It's like. a 30,000 foot view. >> Above average is where Tone's living. He's at like 10,000 ft, 15,000 ft. Now,

there's some real. >> dive in deep folks. That would be a. elite poll. >> This is just an above average poll and I. think we're all kind of happy with it. I. think we're all kind of happy with the. above average poll of Tone. Tone, you. got Texas, Miami, Ohio State. You don't. have Notre Dame up there, which. obviously Reese likes. Your thoughts on. your above average poll, which by the. way, you continue to look great with. that. Thank you. I appreciate you. Look. great. And then also, I know you have a. followup for Ree. >> Yeah, I do. U Ree, I I know there's like. there's different ways to do the pool or.

power rankings and stuff like that. In. power rankings, I still have Notre Dame. above Texas, but to your point, I. couldn't discredit or not discredit, but. not count the Texas win. I'm not saying. you're not you're not doing that or. whatever, but having the best win in. that comeback. And then I didn't want to. discredit Ohio State for a a one-point. loss down in Austin when you basically. controlled the entire game. So, I didn't. want to put Ohio State down all, but. Miami has looked incredibly incredibly. just unbelievable so far this season. Notre Dame would probably come in there. Oh, Notre Dame, Georgia somewhere around.

>> I was saying Notre Dame's probably. bottom of your pole right there. >> Yeah, right around the bottom of my. pole. >> Okay. >> Where's Indiana? Has Indiana done not. done enough to sit on your pole? >> IU's right down there, too. Especially. because North Texas just blew out uh. Mullen's boys in week two. North Texas. not a bad team and IU handled them. >> I agree. That's Neil Braun down there. Backpack Neil. So maybe Indiana's. sliding up the above average. >> And this is also like it's week two. Okay. And it's got like who won the. weekend situation. Obviously I thought. Miami won the weekend week one. Texas.

won the weekend here in week two. >> Oh, so that's how we need to be viewing. the your poll. >> Yeah. Maybe not so much as a season. long, but who won. >> It's like a weekend warrior poll. There. you go. >> Who won the weekend? Uh but a couple. teams that did win this weekend. Uh talk. about the holy war BYU and Utah. They. both looked very, very good this. weekend. Utah just absolutely dismantled. Arkansas and then BYU kind of workman uh. type 28 uh point win. Sorry, not 28. point win, 28 points they scored uh this. weekend against Arizona and no fida. How. do you feel about the pack or sorry.

Jesus the Big 12 now? >> Have a little respect please. Big 12. might be the the deepest statewide. especially after Texas Tech didn't open. up the season great. Uh, from what I've. seen so far, I think BYU looks like the. best team in the Big 12. And maybe Utah. if Utah's going to be there. >> HOLD THE [ __ ] HAVE YOU SEEN WEST. VIRGINIA, BUDDY? HAVE you seen HAWKINS. RUNNING WILD IN MORGAN TOWN? HAVE you. Have you se Okay, go back to what you're. saying. I'm sorry. I just. >> I have No. Hey, we're going to find out.

about them next two week. How about this. opportunity that they have? And I think. that Michael Hawkins and Cam Cook are. they both they're both in like the top. 15, top 20 in the country in rushing, which is just what you would have. expected from Rich Rod's offense. You. got Virginia, then Oklahoma State. I. mean, this could change very quickly. I. I don't think there's a lot of room from. the top of the Big 12 to the lower part. of the Big 12. There a lot of good teams. in there. Not sure who's great yet, but. I think there are a lot of good teams in. there. Utah has certainly looked.

terrific so far. I even though Arizona. lost BYU. I think Arizona's a good team. as well. >> Big 12 is obviously going to be a. battle. >> Yeah, I would say it's tough. >> The Big 10 is kind of doing their thing. right now. >> Guys snuck away with that one, didn't. >> Hey, that's Sihawk, baby. Survive and. advance. >> You were scared to death. >> Oh my god, you were scared to death. >> Shame on the sports books for putting a. 14-point spread on that game. That was. just absolutely ridiculous. But yeah, I.

I tell you what, Iowa State impressed. me. They did. They lost, but they. impressed me. >> Yeah. I mean, we were watching that from. the bus. We were so pumped just to We. wish we had a camera on you for that. because all of the things you have said. about this particular Iowa State team. >> have been worse than anything you've. said in the past about how just well, their whole program collapsed. The only. guy that cared about him left and then. he took everybody good out of there. And. it's like Iowa State beats Iowa in the. first year of the Sihawk in his first.

year of the new era. That would have. been awesome for you and for us. Sorry, not for you. It would have been awesome. for us to ride alongside of you. But I. would also we would have called Tyrese. and we were all the state legends. obviously to. >> they got a guy. Jimmy Rogers is a good. coach. >> The Big 10 is a problem. The SEC. obviously has its depth. College. football is electrifying and we are. incredibly thankful and lucky for you, Ree. You're the best. Have a good one, brother. >> Likewise. You guys, too. Always fun. Thanks for having me. >> That's Reese Davis and Reese.

>> All right, we're back on the other side. We got a great second hour. Mike Laflor, the Cardinals, Brian Baldinger, and more. headlines. See you then. Goodbye. >> We are obviously here in beautiful. Austin, Texas. Kina, where are you from, brother? >> I'm from Zansville, Indiana. >> Okay. But do you go to school here at. Texas? >> I I go to school here in UT. >> Okay. Okay, that sounds good. I'm happy. they're going to like you. Matthew.

McConnA is here. Any words for Connor. here that maybe he should think about. before kicking a $1 million. >> kick. >> Yeah. Yeah. Got you, dude. >> Kind of. How about that? How about that? A southpaw leg. >> Soccer sty going barefoot. Tony Franklin. come back. >> I like that. You're gonna kick this. thing just inside the our left upright. and kick it into DKR. >> Uh you played soccer growing up so he. should have a little bit of comfort. kicking. >> I'm gonna have pop.

>> Okay. So do you think a million dollar. kick is going to happen here in Austin? This be the first time ever for this. kicking season. >> It is going to happen. >> It's going to happen. My man Conor's got. this. And listen, here's the other. thing. What do you got to lose? >> Nothing cuz you ain't got the millions. >> No, no, no. That's not yours yet. You're. going to go get it. >> with the left leg. >> You're right. I didn't think about it. >> Rehearsing is done, right? It's live. What do we get one tech? And why not? >> In Indianapolis, there's this nonprofit. called Building Tomorrow. >> And if I make this kick, hopefully I.

want to give half of those proceeds to. Building Tomorrow. >> COME ON NOW. >> OKAY. WE GOT A GOOD KICK HERE. YOU GOT. IT. >> LET IT RIP, BABY. >> $1 MILLION KICK. CONOR. >> OH MY GOD. LET ME TELL YOU, LET ME TELL YOU. SOMETHING. >> We will do one more kick.

>> Now, from my understanding, which I. appreciate you doing this, Mr. McConn is. going to throw in 100,000. Herby's going. to throw in 100,000. This will be a $1.2. million tick. 600,000 to charity. 600,000 TO YOU. LAST OPPORTUNITY. I. DON'T WANT TO HEAR A THING FROM YOU. TEXANS. They're barefooted. Hey. Hey, real quick. Conor. >> Tab. >> TEXAS.

>> TEXAS. >> CONOR. >> OKAY, LET'S GO. They could have said you. sucked. I'm happy they didn't do that. >> You got this, >> CONNOR. FOR $1.2 MILLION, 600,000 to. charity, 600,000 to your future. All you. got to do is make one 33yd field goal. Holy. >> Yeah, baby. Yeah, man. DOWN THE PIPE.

sport. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble boat the draft kings. thunderdome on this football's the. greatest Tuesday September 15 2026 hour. two of this program begins now. >> FOOTBALL. >> IS THE BEST WEEK ONE OF THE NFL wrapped. up week two of the college football had. an incredible weekend and now all eyes. are ahead to Thursday night as we have. Buffalo Bills hosting for the first time.

in high mark stadium a member of the Pat. McVy show will be up there on Thursday. >> at noon for our particular program. Where and how and who is certainly up. for conversation as that is an Amazon. game which we are obviously very. respectful and appreciative of but we. certainly have been asked to be a part. of the opening of Mart and cannot wait. to have a presence there at least for. the day of the program. Who will be. headed up there? How will it be.

broadcast and where will you be? That's. certainly uh TBD. That that is going to. be an exciting little next couple days. as we have to figure that out. Debbut. >> maybe. Maybe maybe you. >> I hate the BILLS. AROUND. >> OKAY, that's nine NFL vet Darius J. But. let's head over to the toxic table at. Boston Carter and at Tai Schmidt Con. >> I I wouldn't say no. I think it's a. possibility. I will be wearing Patriots.

stuff top to bottom as I would have to. but still I mean hi Mark Day and brand. new does look pretty cool. >> Looks very cool and obviously we're. asked to be there so we would like to. uphold that. Uh obviously Friday going. to be down there in Oxford. Monday going. to be in Los Angeles. Thursday we'll. have some presents up in Buffalo which. we are honored and thankful to be a part. of. Can't wait to showcase all of ball. all season. I said that last night. I. can't wait to celebrate football all. year. I am getting an incredibly lucky. opportunity here. Saturday, the biggest.

college game. Monday night, the biggest. NFL game. It's like we need to enjoy the. hell out of this, but we also need to. realize that what we've seen thus far. doesn't mean a damn thing long term. >> No. >> Now, college and NFL, obviously, Indiana. went completely undefeated last year and. the Seattle Seahawks, I guess they lose. their first game, but other than that, early in the season, we saw quickly that. they were a good team. So over these. next first couple weeks, you certainly. need to see something that gives you the. hope that they could go on to win it. all. But if your team looked like shite.

week one or week two, that does not mean. that's forever. I'm looking at you, Oregon. Okay? Or Oregon's team looked. like absolute shite week one and week. two. Skid by Boise State, lose to. Oklahoma State. They could still win out. and accomplish everything that they want. to accomplish over there in Oregon. That. that is just very real. And in the NFL, it's the same damn thing. The odds on. Super Bowl favorites look the worst out. of every. They're the only team that. didn't score in double digits. They have. the MVP at quarterback and they were the.

one of the shortest odds to ever win a. Super Bowl in the Los Angeles Rams. Do. we not think they're going to figure it. out the rest of the way? We hope. We. think, >> but there's a chance that all these. teams are absolute SH that we think. One. half of the hammer died. Cowboys AP. tone. And then joining us live from an. attic in Ohio is a man who's a college. football national champion, Super Bowl. champion, Rder Cup winner. Ladies and. gentlemen, AJ Hog. >> Hawker, how you doing over here? We turn. the lights off as we are getting excited.

on the back screen for, you know, the. next week of NFL in the next week of. college football. Last night, incredible. game in Kansas City for the Chiefs. Terrible game in Kansas City for the. Denver Broncos. So many questions coming. out of Denver. So much excitement coming. out of Kansas City. Where do you fall. after watching four quarters of football. on Monday night? >> I think I what I take away from it. obviously this was unbelievable watching. him run all over the place was was very. very fun. Especially how physically is. how he finishes his runs are amazing.

But what about that Chief's defense? I. know like I don't want to be the guy, oh. I play defense, so I got to talk about. defense all the time. But I was very. very impressed by this Chiefs D. And and. I'm sitting there thinking like yeah, they used their top four picks this year. to take defensive guys. I think three of. them, you know, had somewhat of an. impact in this game. So, yeah, looks. like the plans are going well in Kansas. City and these guys really executed. night one. >> Yeah, it was fun to be in there. Arrowhead was a electrifying. environment. You talk about Kenneth. Walker being an absolute beast. Uh. there's another running back that said.

hello to the NFL scene, not only week. one, but I believe in the Hall of Fame. game. Is that where we saw him first? >> Uh the the game after that, I believe. >> Okay. week, sorry, week one of preeason, we watch this man out of Notre Dame run. like it's the Super Bowl and we all. immediately go, "Oh, no." But now we're. watching him and his team nowhere near. as shite as everybody was expecting. >> No, >> everybody thought this team was going to. What did the guy who covers the Arizona. Cardinals say? >> He say they'd be lucky to steal one or.

two in the first 11 weeks of the season. Well, they're one and0 beating the. Chargers who was everybody's darling. coming into the year. The head coach of. the Arizona Cardinals. Ladies and. gentlemen, Mike Laflur. >> What's up, guys? >> Hey, I I heard I I saw you in my monitor. here watching us overreact to week one. the way we were. Hey, these teams. absolute shite maybe forever. These. teams might be the best of all time. How.

are you managing obviously the. incredible start for your team, first. game as a NFL head coach, trying to. continue to build on that success. Where. do you sit right now after your first. game having some success versus maybe a. week ago looking ahead to what it could. all be like, coach? >> Yeah, you know, it's uh it's the next. week, you know, and like we've been. preaching since we got back in uh July. I mean, this is a week-to-eek league and. uh you know, I've I've talked to them. about being where your feet are and I. thought they did that throughout.

training camp, throughout the preseason. when we got back out of Glendale back to. Tempe for the rest of of training camp. and then you know, just focusing on the. first week and uh you know, so we we put. um Sunday's game to bed and and uh you. know, starting to get ready for Seattle. obviously. >> Well, congrats on managing success this. early in your tenure, especially with. what all the expectations were. One of. the offseason stories was Jacobe. Brassette and the Arizona Cardinals. having a little bit of a contract. dispute that ends up getting done. Carson Beck had some success. You. obviously have a new offense coming in. there. Can you tell us about your and.

Jacob's relationship and the offense. that he is operating for you and he. looks smooth out there. Jacobe, I wanted. him to be the MVP when he was the. starting quarterback for the Colts. Then. he got injured. He obviously has a. wealth of knowledge, but what have you. seen from him and how quickly have you. two gotten on the same page? Yeah, you. know, well, I'll first talk about, you. know, what I didn't know about him in. terms of the person. Um, I always had a. lot of respect for him as a player. Never never obviously coached with him. Uh, but but just like you guys, I mean, you feel like you've played them almost.

every year for what what seems like a. dozen years. Um, and and every time you. go, you just know you're going to get. good quality quarterback play. And so, uh, uh, having the ability to obviously. get to know him, um, once training camp. started and and and start to build that. relationship, I knew he was a great guy, so I knew there was going to be no. issues there. Um, and then I also knew. there was going to be no issues in terms. of learning our system. The hardest part. about playing quarterback, uh, is a. young guy coming in and learning the. speed of the game and just how to play. quarterback in the NFL. Well, he's done.

that. And so all it was really from our. perspective was just getting on the same. page of what he likes, what our verbiage. is, what our language is, how we work. our cadence, what our operation means to. us, but when the ball was snapped, I. mean, it was going to be a lot of the. similar concepts that he's ran. So, uh, it's been awesome. Um, you know, the way. he approached it, I thought he was. excellent on game day, just with his. demeanor, taking it one play at a time. His his calmness helps me because I'm an. absolute psychopath on game day. So, uh, great. >> Although tightly wound, I I didn't know.

that was the case. What What So, what. does that mean? What how do you describe. yourself? Because obviously that can go. different ways. There's people that get. like angry and irritated easily. There's. people that are like just super locked. in and intense. How do you self kind of. uh self-evaluations. are? And is this how you're trying to. be? Are you like, "Yeah, this is who I. am. You just need to deal with it.". >> No, I you know, I I try to uh I try not. to be that. I try to just obviously be. in the moment. I I'd say that's probably. strong the psychopath. But uh no, he. just it was more about it was more of a.

compliment for him because of just again. how even Keely is not to be confused. with uh you know um he doesn't got that. you know fire if you will uh cuz he has. that. So it uh it was it was a good. first step for for him in this offense. and in in this team but again uh. resetting right back to work. >> Jacobe was calling uh players meetings. whenever Andrew Luck was the quarterback. here in Indianapolis. That's when I. learned like, oh, this guy is a guy. And. then you learn about what he's Bill. Parcels's was like his mentor or. whatever through it all. Obviously in.

New England goes through it. It's like. what a perfect situation for a brand new. head coach. Another great thing for an. offense is having a 99 tight end. AJ has. a question for you. >> Yeah, coach. He's talking about Trey. McBride. Obviously, he he comes out and. has a big week one for you guys. Can you. talk a little bit about, I guess, what. makes him special? What makes this guy. able to separate? and he seems to be. great at the point of attack going up. and getting the ball, especially you. talk about those 50/50 balls, but just. such a good job using his body, I think, to box defenders out. But what does Trey. McBride mean to this team and this.

offense? >> Yeah, I mean, how long you got there? There's there's. no weakness to this guy. He's he's. mentally tough. He's physically tough. He's savvy. He's got incredible hands. I've I've been very fortunate, like we. all have, to be around guys that have. just great ball skills. Uh he's he's. right up there, if not the best I've. ever been around. Um like I said, he's. got the savviness to him. Like he just. has it's kind of like uh I try to equate. it to, you know, like like Luca uh you.

know, like where he he plays at his pace. and and he's got that that savviness to. separate and then obviously the. finishing skills to to make the play. He's got the yak. Um and and he's a. great dude. He's a great leader. He. works his butt off. Uh and and I think. he's only improving. I love the way he. just operates. >> Like he has a big play, we're going to. see it and we're going to know that he. is pumped about about said play. I like. bringing that to a fan base. I like. bringing that to a team. Can you tell me. about the response from the Cardinals.

fans because I know you know this, you're the head coach there. You. normally not going to get a head. coaching job at a place that is set up. good, you know, like they're not looking. for a new head coach if everything is. hunky dory, you know. And you and I got. a chance to talk at the World Cup game. Shout soccer. That was a good time. >> Good times, man. >> It was a good time. It was nice. >> A lot lot less stressful back then than. it is now. >> I'm having a great time, by the way. So, I think you were talking about yourself. for that particular thing. And we. appreciate you joining us in the middle. of trying to build a team. But whenever.

it's like, hey, the pressure of becoming. a head coach and then at the Arizona. Cardinals with what the NFC West already. is. I was bringing up you're like, no, I. like where we're at and it I like what. we're doing. Brand new practice facility. coming, right? I mean, we got young. stars seemingly playing well. Jacobe is. on a very team-friendly quarterback. contract, even though, you know, the. whole conversation was out there. Can. you tell me about how you feel and how. you think fans feel going into the. season? Zero expectations, I think, from. anybody. That beat reporter actually. said that to us. I hope we're not. breaking news to you. He was like, maybe.

steal one or two games in the first 11. And it's like, okay, that that is some are is anybody. going to go to these games or are you. going to be able to do that? And then. you win a game here. Can you just tell. me about how it feels over there right. now as an Arizona Cardinal maybe outside. view versus how it is actually for you. in there right now? >> I mean, you know, this I I don't really. know what the view is outside cuz again, um after that game, you get on the plane. uh obviously uh just personally for. myself trying to answer all the texts.

that you got from family, friends, from. from everywhere you've ever been. And. and then uh you get home and you spend. some time with your family, you talk to. your brother, you know, and then you. wake up and you got to get right back to. work. like you don't have time to think. about what's going on outside this. building. I hope you know um not that. not not that we don't hear the noise and. all those kind of things, but like you. don't have time to think about it. So, uh but going back just kind of in in. terms of just the Arizona Cardinals in. general, like I've I've always loved. this place. I I I for whatever reason I. loved playing here. Um I was obviously.

in the division for seven years before, four with the Niners, three with the. Rams. Uh had the playoff game in here in. 24 when the fires happened. Uh, honestly, the coolest game I ever been a. part of was that playoff game, uh, verse. Minnesota on on that Monday night when. we got moved out of there. Um, I I love. this city. I've loved living here. They've been awesome to my family and. myself, but more importantly, my family. Uh, I love our ownership. I love how. committed uh, everybody is. Um, and then. most importantly, uh, I love like I love. these players. is like I mean I you know.

I know what happened last year but I. also know what happened in in 24 um when. they were playing really good football. and they were right on the cusp of of. kind of breaking into the playoffs and. there was a lot of those same faces. particularly on defense you know so um. um you know I like where we're at but. again all our focus is is one and0 each. week. >> What a promo right there. >> Hey that was a good speech bro. I'm. happy you're a head coach in the NFL. That was a good speech and I think the. people Arizona Cardinal spent. >> that wasn't a speech. That was just. >> Well, exactly. That's what I'm saying. It's not a speech to you. You know that.

that's just your natural thoughts, but. that was a the message you just. delivered to Cardinals fans right there. is I think scratching every single itch. that you could potentially have as a. football fan. I'm happy that you're. there guy cuz we love that city as well. I mean, we are massive fans of that. city. Now, you've done something uh for. the first time since uh Bill Card did it. in 1992. And I think this goes to even. more of the national narrative verse, you know, your narrative inside the. building. biggest upset for a debut in. coaching history since Bill Cower in. 1992. So, it's like I appreciate you not.

hearing the noise outside. Nobody. believed in you. Okay. You can actually. use that speech to the boys as you go. ahead and we've all become fans of your. team after watching just one game. Now, you and how you operate. You talked. about your demeanor. Debut has a. question for you. >> Yeah, coach. Obviously, you had the. preseason, but was there was there any. surprises or anything you didn't expect. your regular season head coaching debut? I know you know you got to have the. challenge flag cuz different. communications now obviously different. media responsibilities but was there.

anything that I guess caught you off. guard during game day and then also. what's the biggest challenge going from. week one to week two obviously we. overreact from everything what's the. biggest challenge in that building? Yeah, I mean honestly like when you ask. me that first question like you got the. preseason, we had the extra game um. obviously because the Hall of Fame game. So I mean something's going to come up. at some point but but as of right now or. as as of this last Sunday um nothing. nothing really kind of caught us off. guard. Again you just try to remind. yourself you're not in this thing alone.

Like you got a team behind you. You got. your your coordinators. You got the. assistant coaches. You got your game. management people and you're prepping. with these people all week. So, like you. don't want to be caught off guard and. again at some point something's going to. happen and and we'll have to make that. adjustment. So, um you know, again, that's that's kind of where we're at. And then you think about week one to. week two. Um you got a lot of time. I'. I've seen it so many different ways. Some people kind of have a mock game. week the week before, right? Especially. with now only three preseason games. You.

can truly do kind of that Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You have to do it on. different days because the league rules. and all that kind of stuff because you. got to give them those the time off. Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Um, but we. didn't do that. We went good on good. still. We introduced some Chargers stuff. without them without them really. knowing. We were just doing it against. our defense. Um, you know, so it wasn't. like totally brand new the next week. But, uh, but now you get into it like. all of us, all 32 teams and and we don't. have, you know, all this time. It's it's. a week. I know Seattle had a little. extra time because obviously they played. on Wednesday being the Super Bowl.

champs. Uh, but for the most part, everyone's just in it and and and you. know, they're in their routine and here. we go. sound like such an experienced. coach. Obviously, having a chance to be. in a lot of different buildings gives. you an opportunity to learn how it. should go. You sound like a 50-year-old. man. Now, you got the face of a. 12-year-old in a hair. I can't believe. you're wearing a hat right now. We are. so It's I told Mark Dalton, our media. guy, I said, "I'll go on, but I'm. wearing my hat. It's Tuesday. This is. This is a game plan day. I don't do the. hair on Tuesday.". >> I I respect that. I understand you got.

to do what you got to do. I watched a. documentary on Pink. Mhm. >> Uh, you know, Pink's hair is like. legendary. Someday she doesn't want to. do it, >> you know? So, she's got hat on. That was. a part of the documentary cuz her hair's. so good. I like that. That's kind of. where you're at right now. It's like, "Hey, listen. I ain't got time to be on. camera. This shit's everywhere.". Whatever. It's not perfect. Okay. So, I'm going to put a hat on and I'm in. grind mode. And on that note, we. appreciate you taking time. We do have. some more questions, though, especially. because it felt like it could have been. an emotional Sunday for a couple people. in the crowd. Go ahead, Ty.

>> Yeah, coach. How special was it having. your parents there? You know, being able. to kind of witness your first win and uh. I am a Packers fan, so I'm just curious. You said you talked to your brother. after the game. Did you get the. opportunity to maybe talk a little [ __ ]. to him and be like, "Hey, I have a. higher career winning percentage uh than. you do right now. Sorry about that." And. also, I I How much do you guys lean on. each other during the year? And has that. changed now that you are both head. coaches and uh you're no longer a. coordinator? >> Yeah. Um, that is a triple question.

right there. >> Had to get it in. >> Hit them all. And he he's really mad at. your brother right now, too. That guy. that just asked that question. >> It was uh it was great. Um, you know, obviously I have my my folks there and. then then after the game they um they. flew back with my wife and kids, so. they'll be here for the the Seattle game. and and then they'll head back to Green. Bay. You know, they live like a block. away from Lambe. They live in Title Town. there. So they uh they obviously make. those games uh quite often, but man, wherever I've been there, you know, they. they love the places we've been cuz.

we've been kind of uh obviously. California with the Niners and Rams and. then you got the Jets, which is kind of. a pretty cool fun city to visit if you. like New York City. So the home is Green. Bay, but the vacation is wherever I'm. at. So this is uh Scott, so Phoenix, Arcadia Scott. So it's been pretty cool. for them. U but no, it was it was a good. moment. Um they left right away, so I. actually didn't even see him after the. game. Uh Lauren was able to uh book a. quick flight after to try to beat us. home and we almost got home at the same. time. So I was able to spend time with. the kids and then uh yeah talked to.

talked to Matt right after obviously um. >> you know uh I I actually did see the. score in the in the early in the fourth. quarter. So you think things are going. well and then then I went through media. and then saw the final and that was uh. that was that. So um you know there was. no no crap talking there. I mean, it's, you know, it sucks. You, like I I said. in my presser, usually when hopefully. you both win and then everyone's in in a. good place for at least like eight. minutes and then you move on to the next. week. Uh, but when you when you lose, that's more of what you're talking.

about. You're talk, you know, so I was. kind of asking more questions about what. went down and all that. So, um, but we. talk all the time. We talked a few times. yesterday. Um, you know, whether it's. just floating ideas, we we each watch. each other's tape. Uh, cuz there are. similarities just like I pop on the. Rams, just like I pop on the Niners, you. know, just to to to uh glance it to see. if there's anything that they're doing. that would fit within our players and. our scheme. >> Yeah, your natural answers were speeches. and uh you just said, "Yeah, when we. win, we all have good eight minutes or. so, and then we know that our asses.

could get fired next week if we don't do. the right job." Is that exactly how you. feel? Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah, I mean that's it is week to. week. I mean we know we all know what we. signed up for. So I mean that's like it. is what it is. That's it's it's it's all. noise. >> Sean McVey did a 60-minute interview. I. saw one clip. >> Yeah. >> And they're like, "Well, how do you deal. with the blah blah blah?" And he goes, "I'm going to be honest. We set this up. today. I we didn't have a good practice. I'm in a terrible supply right now. >> I don't like that we're even here right. now." It's like you guys have to be. psychos. Like we we have tried to. explain that on this particular program.

about how like the people at the top of. sports, all of them are just psychos. You have to be obsessive. You have to. have that mindset. That's what separates. you from everybody else. Arizona. seemingly got a guy out here, man. I am. excited to watch your career. And I. appreciate the fact that in the middle. of your game, you look up. Okay, Green. Bay's doing good. It's late. There's no. way, Matt. There's no way that's good. Go through the press. Big time win. First coach. Yeah. Hey, we're having. fun. Get out there. You lost. Holy [ __ ]. That had to be devastating. Just.

immediately feel for your brother and. what he's going through. Tai's going. through the same thing, though. So, uh, just know that he's out there and. Cardinals fans are going to be doing the. same thing. Connor has last question for. you here, coach. >> Yeah, coach, it was also really cool. One of the moments of the entire, you. know, weekend, week one as a whole, was. your team coming over to you as the. clock was hitting zero and just. celebrating. I think it was Trey. McBride, I think Wing Guard as well was. over there just kind of, you know, embracing you and just enjoying the fact. that, holy [ __ ] you guys won your first. game of the season and of your career.

How cool was that for you to kind of. feel that from your team? And do you. feel as though your culture is settling. in already set in? And how did you kind. of get that going so quickly? Because it. truly was astounding. I mean, the stat. got pulled up. It's the biggest win for. a debut since 1992. Like, how does that. feel, especially being able to celebrate. that with your team? >> Yeah, I mean, I love these guys. uh you. know and and obviously some you've only. known for 7 8 weeks whatever it's been.

or shouldn't say that going into. training camp with them but getting to. know them obviously when you got it in. February but really getting to know. their football character once you put. the pads on how we're going to work in. training camp um you know we got the. right people and that's a that's a. credit to Monty uh he's he's he's. brought in a lot of great people here uh. unfortunately um a lot of the lot of. those guys got hurt last year I mean. there was a ton of injuries that's not. an excuse I wasn't even in the building. I'm just that was the reality I was in. LA and and and that's what we saw too. Like every every game that you um that.

you that you watch of Arizona, it felt. like there was five or six new new guys. out there every week. And that that's. hard. You guys know what it's like to to. not have continuity. Uh and you'd rather. just play with just 11 guys that you. might not know the names, but at least. if they played four weeks together, now. they're communicating the right way. They're playing with the right play. style. They kind of they they they feel. off each other. So, um, but again, it. goes the credit goes to Monty in terms. of bringing in those right guys and, um, you know, we're just again still just. looking to build and get right back at.

I'm excited to see them tomorrow and. we'll get the first installment of this. Seattle game plan in. >> Uh, I said that was the last question. I. lied. Uh, Jeremiah, I love you obviously. draft a running back very high. Uh, what. have you seen from him? Because I was. scared. Not that my opinion matters. I. was scared to death with how he was. running in that first preseason game. Okay. I I was scared to death. This. guy's never going to make it. I I mean, if this is how he's running a preseason, he's got no chance. It's like, well, what was he running like in a preseason? Well, it was like every single play was. his last play. That's a great trait, not.

a bad trait at all. Can you tell me a. little bit about Jeremiah and uh how you. see his kind of career going and how we. should judge him off of this season, like a fair way to kind of judge his. season this year. >> Yeah, I you know, that's a hard one for. me, Pat. Like, I'm not going to put any. expectations on him. I know that he's a. I think he's going to be a really good. football player. I think he's even a. better person. I think that preseason. game was so beneficial for him to learn. some of the things that you're talking. about in real time. Like my opinion, and.

I know a lot of people disagree with me, I don't think you can put these guys in. bubble wrap uh through the preseason, particularly the young guys. I know some. people play vets a little bit more than. others. We didn't. That is what it is. But for a runner, like you can't. simulate that in OTAAS in training camp. You just can't. They have to go out. there and play a little bit. And I. thought, you know, it was very. unfortunate that on the last snap, obviously, he went down. Uh but I. thought he learned as he went and uh him. and I had some really good talks uh. about that half of football that he had, the 11 carries, the three catches, and.

uh I know he was in a really good spot. and he felt the same way, you know. So, it was good to obviously get him back, get his feet wet. Um he'll just continue. to improve because his conditioning will. continue to improve. When you're not. playing football for a few weeks, I. mean, you guys know that can happen, right? you like you can't simulate it. You got to be out there. You can't you. can't just be on the bike or the. treadmill thinking you're going to get. in football shape. So, um be able to get. him back for the week leading up to it. I thought he was right at that perfect. number kind of of reps and we'll see. where week two goes. >> He's awesome to watch. Also, the human.

spectacular. >> We got a chance to learn about him. obviously through Notre Dame and his. whole story. It's like I I you say he's. learning as he goes. Yeah. He's like a I. mean he's a Notre Dame guy. Guy's got a. big brain. I expect You don't want to. put expectations on him? I will. Offensive rookie of the year. Boom. >> All right. YOU'RE THE MAN. GOOD LUCK. MAKING THAT HAPPEN. I just put that into. the world. Sorry for the added pressure. Thank you for taking time out of your. life after your first win. You're the. man. Good luck out there, ladies and. gentlemen. Head coach of the Arizona, Michael. You too. >> Yeah, coach.

>> Dude, I I would guarantee the last thing. on earth he wanted to do. >> was an interview. >> probably. >> But Arizona Cardinals in a big like, hey, we're new. We're a new organization out. here. And I think he is a great coach. for them. AJ, every answer I said it was. a speech, but when coaches talk, it's. like you hear their brain just naturally. comes with the coach answer. Everybody's. like, "This is coach speak, this is. cliche." It's like, "No, that's how. these dudes brains just operate." Like. their answers are in. You ask Kurt.

Signetti a question. There is any talk. about music. Well, if you go back to. what the he'll go right into coach speak. is what it is because that's who they. are. He sounded like that with every. answer there. AJ, I I mean that was. coached through and through. Young guy, innovative offense. I think he does want. a tough team as well. It's like out in. Phoenix. If he's able to create a. contender, a conversation piece, a. relevant team in that NOC West, I think. they will be very, very grateful. And. he's got a young group of dogs over.

there, AJ, and they're doing in all. three phases, obviously. >> Yeah. Yeah, and it's it's crazy that. we're only through week one of the. season, but just how we view the. Cardinals now from where we viewed them. say 3 weeks ago, it just feels so much. different. And if they can continue to. to do this and they play the Seahawks, obviously a huge test next game. But. >> I think he did a good job of explaining. and showing what what it's like, how. stressful it might be, and how every. single minute of your life is consumed. by thinking of, hey, how do I what do I. need to do to make my team and give the. best they possibly can, like the best.

chance to win every single Sunday. because it's wild, man. Like these guys, the hours they put in and the the I I. guess when you hear him talk about his. parents and everybody like, "Yeah, if we. both win, cool. We got eight minutes of. happiness." We had eight minutes of, "Oh, this is great." And then boom, we're on to the next one. And that but. that's truly you that's kind of how it. has to be. >> Yeah. I mean Nick Sabin told us what he. won national championship gets the photo. >> took 10 minutes. >> This is awesome. Thank you. Yeah. Guys, you did it.

>> All right. We need to call some. recruits. >> Yeah, we're recruiting. Did you see what. just happened up there with me holding. that trophy? That's what I thought. You. see the boys out there? That's what we. can do with you. Maybe. Bang. Boom. Boom. Boom. Right to the next one. Never. satisfied. What is that? Complacency. there's a uh complacency scale or. something like that. And then obviously. that's where the rat poison comes from. What's rat poison? Just kind of uh. >> reaping from what you've sewn just just. kind of having a good time just uh kind. of. using the benefits of being on top of.

the world. Rat poison. So he even. created something that was like no. people complimenting you feeling good. about yourself. Rat poison that he even. created something that eliminates that. entirely after a win for everybody else. Just so everybody else understands how I. feel. Everything that's being said to us. right now is making us worse. So, we. need to put an end to this immediately. Mike Laflur, your first game, living. your dream as a head coach. Way to go. You won. Yeah. We got about eight. minutes of this [ __ ] and then uh we got. Seattle Seahawks defending Super Bowl. champions coming to town. They're pretty. good from my understanding. And that's.

real. You do have to kind of live week. to week, but I think they got the right. guy out there. That was a great. conversation. I didn't know what to. expect out of that genuinely. And like. you said, week to week and obviously. we're going to overreact from week one. because that's all we have. And him even. talking about, you know, just how much. time you have to lead up and ramp up and. have your mindset right for that first. game. And then once you kind of hit the. that was the biggest thing for me as a. rookie coming in, like just how fast the. game weeks were. Like once you got back. into that building really Wednesday as. another team, the the complete uh pages.

were flipped. As a coach, you have to. set the stage. you have to set uh clear. expectation for what this week is, what. this team is, what these these. challenges are, what our game plan is. And now he's got to do that and you got. to have that team on board. The. quarterback's got to be on board. So, I'm excited for him. I I will say after. that interview, I feel much better about. him even after watching him play on. Sunday going forward because we kind of. get a glimpse of who he is behind the. scenes. But I'm excited about the. Arizona Carter future. >> Yeah, I like another floor in there as a. head coach, Ty. I I think it's.

>> well I was going to say you can tell he. spent a lot of time around Shawn McVey. like it kind he kind of just feels very. simil and like he had the you know where. he went off with Salah and was OC and. that obviously didn't go great in New. York but going back and being with Shawn. McVey and even if he wasn't calling. plays like you can tell that he has. absorbed a lot of that. >> Arizona Cardinals we would have thought. would be in our next segment here quick. >> uh AJ I don't know if you've heard or. not but we are going to debut a new. segment we don't know how many weeks.

this will a relevant thing because we. don't really know. But as we sit here on. this football is the greatest Tuesday, September 15th, 2026. >> We thought it would be nice if we did. just point out some things that are. happening around the league. We can't. always be positive. So, we actually. created a new division. Ladies and. gentlemen, say hello to the AFC NFC. shite division. Okay? >> Okay. This is four teams that we feel. are absolute shite. >> They can come from either conference, okay? But obviously it is a division so.

it is four teams how we see it right now. and obviously relegation promotion you. can get in and out of this division but. this division certainly exists number. one team congratulations in the lead of. the shite division. >> Cleveland Browns. >> Cleveland Browns actually named after. them. >> congratulations to the Cleveland Browns. finding themselves on the shite division. although this is the first year of this. expansion to the shite division they. know what it's like to be here now they. are looking to get promoted put it out. of here. Not looking for relegation.

Todd Monkin kind of understands the. deal. How many days he say and some days. since Deshawn Watson's last start. Obviously, it did not go uh swimmingly. down there in Jacksonville, but the. Jaguars might be really good. So, the. Cleveland Browns could find themselves. literally in the outhouse, the Shike. Division, and then maybe in the. penthouse, the top of the AFC North over. the next few weeks. or they could find. themselves at the top of the division, the Shite division for the rest of the.

season. Who knows? They're not the only. ones, though. Obviously need three more. spots filled in the Shike Division. The. second team, >> congratulations to. Tennessee Titans. >> Oh, AJ Canow. >> Wow. AJ, AJ, you didn't want to. overreact. You said, but when you were. watching the Titans, you said, "Okay, this team, I'm cancelling them." His. exact words. He was watching. >> I did not I did not mean I was canceling. them. I was I was disappointed. I. thought they were going to have a better. showing week one. >> Okay. Yeah. I mean, we clarify things.

all the time whenever you realize what. you were doing, which was potentially. overreacting, but nonetheless, Salah. back in the shite division. And what. will he and Dayball do? We shall see. Could have been a tough uh first week. Also, Jets could be really good. >> Could be. I mean, Jets could be really, really good. They're not the only two. Obviously, that's just half the. division. Uh, >> ladies and gentlemen, the third team. >> being welcomed into the AFC, NFC, shite. division. I don't like it. Not one bit.

>> Uhoh. >> PLEASE. >> WHAT? NO. >> NO. >> WHO COULD HAVE saw this coming? >> Oh, the Ravens. They're so good. >> I didn't like this. There was a vote. leaguewide vote that found the. Indianapolis Colts in the AFC NFC shite. division. And I think it's because. everybody that had a vote watched the. game on Sunday and were in the building. and watched Lamar Jackson have a career. day, Derk Henry have a career day and. Zay Flowers have a career day while only.

playing a half of football. I don't like. that they end up in the shite division, but once again, this is not a permanent. division. No, >> there is always relegation and promotion. and I don't think the Colts are going to. stay here. I think it was just one bad. week. But historic days for three. different people on the other side. Certainly warrant a Shite division. nominee. And I guess the boys and I, even though I didn't vote yes, have put. the Colts into the Shite division. >> A fun fact for the Colts, they haven't. won a football game on US soil since.

Halloween last season. Um so just wanted. to throw that out there so everybody. knew that. against the Falcons. Half the. AFC South. What? What? What is going on? >> Oh, hold on. It's one week. This thing. is going to change. There's another. team, though. >> Saw AFC teams. >> No, no, no, no. There's another team. This team's actually the Super Bowl. favorite. >> WHAT? >> LOS ANGELES RAMS. >> WHAT? >> THEY'RE THE ONLY TEAM NOT TO SCORE 10. POINTS. >> They didn't score 10 points. >> Hey, the MVP only team not to do it. If. they score a couple more points, we.

actually have a record-breaking week. one. Hey, the team that we love with the. offensive genius Shawn McVey at the helm. and the MVP at quarterback with weapons. galore, Don Under wanting to put on an. international show, they're the only. ones that didn't in the entire NFL. somehow someway. So, yeah, I don't like. it because I do love when the stars are. at. >> Uhhuh. >> Bring them out. Bring them out. Bring. them out. I like that that's happening. But now we got Miles Garrett on IR. M. >> Aaron Donald potentially returning on. Monday night would be a gigantic boost I.

think for the entire team obviously. >> but yeah I didn't like it but when their. name was mentioned there was a hearty. conversation. >> and we found ourselves with the Super. Bowl favorites. >> in the AFC NFC shite division. So there. it is folks. AJ your thoughts on the AFC. NFC shite division as uh it sits right. now after week one of the NFL season. >> So I cannot say that I disagree with any. of these picks. I think this is uh this. is very representative of what where the. league is at right now through week one.

But is this going to be a weekly. segment? Are we having four teams every. single week? >> I think there's a chance. We'll see. >> It could be like it could be like my. poll where it's like the the shite. division from that weekend cuz obviously. if you do it every week just based off. how the team is. The Browns will be. there every single week, but they might. get a win. I don't know that. >> That's why the the Shite division is. unpredictable. >> They might get a win one weekend. So. that week they won't be in the Shite. division. One week we could do the. bright division and have it be the top. four instead of light like a light. division. Yeah. >> Kind of honor both sides of the coin.

>> Out house, penthouse, house, bright. house. >> That's sick. >> I mean, there's something to think about. there for sure. >> I only got one team on here. I don't. feel too terrible about that. The. chances are with me, I'm 400% more. likely to have a team on here than you. guys. So, I'm glad it's only one. But I. am uh concerned though. What if Aaron. Donald just sees this said, "You know. what? [ __ ] it. I'm not coming back.". >> He might. No. What do you mean? I I. would like to see. >> I'm done. I'm retiring again. My team's. on the shite division. I'm out. >> No, I don't want that. We We all want to. see Aaron Don play football again. >> Rams.

>> He was happy retired. >> He was, wasn't he? Having a good time, >> but you know, you see him putting that. work back in. Didn't have to travel to. Australia. Think that's big news. >> Him and the Rams both boycotted. international games, which I respect. from him. >> Yeah, that was a bad performance. Atlanta division. Listen, you can work. your way if I know Aaron Donald. >> Yeah, exactly. He wants to put his hard. hat on and he wants to go to work to get. the. >> I know all the double teams. All the. triple teams now. No Miles out there. >> True. >> Heavy lifting. >> All right. Joining us now, ladies and. gentlemen, is a 10ear NFL vet. Uh I.

can't wait to get his take on the AFC. NFC shite division on whether or not he. agrees, disagrees, and also is Aaron. Donald going to be the one that. potentially lifts the LA Rams back to. being the LA Rams. Or was it just a. terribly planned trip to Australia and. they played like shite? >> Could be. >> Ladies and gentlemen, the man. >> from Baldi's Breakdowns, Dukeum O line. mastermind Brian Balding. >> You know, um I I was just I was just.

watching the segment on the Shite. Division, Pat, and it reminded me being. back in college, I was studying. genetics. You know, when you study. genetics, you study fruit flies. Oh, >> the lifespan of a fruit fly is 7 days. Like the NFL players are fruit flies. We. live in 7-day life cycles here. You. could get out of that shite division. Cleveland could go to Tampa and ruin. their home opener right there. They'll. have Warren Sap on the sideline in. Tampa. You could warn, you know, you can. ruin that thing. You could you could. come back as a fruitly come back every. seven days. You just kind of relive.

yourself. >> Yeah. But some fruit flies are just. shite every time, you know. And it feels. like the Browns, they've been in the. shite division long before the shite. division even existed. That's right. >> I mean, they went they went to. Jacksonville. Honestly, Trevor Lawrence. looked like the MVP of the league in. that game. There's nothing he couldn't. do. Like, you watch the left guard, Emanuel Pregnant, just own Mason Graham. and just give him one clean pocket after. another. Like, I mean, that's a great. catch by Parker Washington, but I mean, they went up. It was 24 nothing before. you even got, you know, even got your.

refreshments uh and got to your seat. It. was 24 nothing. It was so fast. >> Yeah. There's some teams that we don't. know if they played the greatest team in. football. For instance, the Colts could. have played the 1972 Dolphins in this. Baltimore Ravens team. Lamar Jackson in. command, in control, has a career day. Derrick Henry, obviously still Derrick. Henry, has a career day, runs himself up. the record books. Zay Flowers has 150. yards, is wide open the entire time, and. he doesn't even play the entire game. There's a chance that the Ravens are the. greatest team of all time. What did you.

see from Declan Doyle's Baltimore Ravens. team that made them so successful? And. can we expect this all year? Because if. that's the case, first of all, electrifying show. I mean, we were live. in the building. It's electrifying. But. they could win it all, could they not? >> Yeah. I mean, look, that offense from. the first play bootlegged to Zay. Flowers, got him in man coverage out. there. Like he he had his way. All that. kind of space, you know, he uh I call. him a Zhee kid, you know, like after. Willie Mays, like he like he could just. pick him up and put him down with the. best of them and you can't tackle the.

guy in the open field. But Declan Doyle. had a great day and they really saw the. issue of the interior of this offensive. line. They started this kid Javon Gwyn. at center. Vega Yawani at right guard. just owned the forest Buckner inside. They won the interior of that offensive. line so that you know the King could run. wild. Lamar had time. They couldn't. cover Z Flowers. Like you know they they. they got great uh great contributions. from a lot of guys that nobody even knew.

who their names or numbers were. And so. I I give Declan Doyle a lot of credit. for just opening this offense up and and. giving Lamar that feeling like he can be. the MVP in this offense. We've got. enough for you right now to be the MVP. again. >> Yeah. And he was bought in obviously all. OTAAS all spring, all summer. He was uh. over there learning new offense, buying. into everything. And I think it was very. evident that he is in complete control. He was a maestro. >> Oh yeah. I. >> I mean it 73 I forget the percentage. 73. 7 something like that. 73% motions, too.

I mean, his second highest. So, I know. motions are obviously a distraction for. the defense to make things hard. But for. the quarterback, he's got to remember. all that [ __ ] Okay? So, he's got to be. very comfortable. He's got to remember. it all. And whenever that play clock's. going down, there was like 7 seconds. left and he was still doing two motions. on the play clock. Like, the amount of. confidence you have to have in that. particular offense to do all that at the. quarterback position. And then his. swagger just walking in between plays, he was so comfortable. And obviously I. think he has a lot of faith in the.

offensive line, but that offense as a. whole, I think he knows it inside and. out even though it's his first time. really running it. M. >> I I don't know if he broke a sweat. I'm. just watching him right now. I'm just. watching these highlights. I studied it. yesterday afternoon, but like I'm not. sure he even broke a sweat in this game. But you know, you just look at the you. know, the the speed that they have on. the outside and some of the young kids, the young tight end that they picked up. from Hibner from SMU. He was a factor in. the game, run blocking, catching. Uh. Mark Andrews been doing that thing for a. long time in Baltimore. But you see all.

the movement getting Lamar out of the. pocket, moving him like that. That's. just smart football. Like the guy is. great uh getting out of the pocket and. really putting the defense in a bind. right here. >> Yeah. And he never takes big hits, you. know, cuz we always wondered you can't. play like that and survive, especially. at the quarterback position. He can't. survive. He can't survive. It's like, well, some guys have the ability to not. get hit. Now, let's pivot back to the. Shite division cuz the Broncos could. have been on there, okay? and we didn't. put them on there, but we thought there. was one piece for that Chiefs team that. could have been their big issue and.

turns out not at all. Go ahead, Con man. >> Yeah, Baldi going in, it felt like the. spotlight was on that left tackle spot. and then Khil Benson, undrafted rookie. out of Indiana. Pat mentioned it when he. got introduced as a starter. He kind of. owned the moment from that part of time. on for the rest of the night. Were you. surprised by the fact that Nick Bonito. didn't dominate the game or you more. impressed by the fact that Khalil Benson. in the game plan the Chiefs came out. with was just to run the ball down their. throat and dominate from start to. finish?

>> I wasn't surprised that they came out to. try to run it. They had a whopper. package in there where they had seven. offensive linemen and a defensive. tackle. They took all the receivers, tight ends off the field. And that's the. play right there where uh Kenneth Walker. three sticks goes, you know, 60 yards. like that. But Khalil Benson, I I talked. to he was he started at Colorado and. then he transferred to Indiana. Between. what he did in Indiana and what they're. doing with Andy Hec on the offensive. line in Kansas City, nothing was too big. for that kid last night. No, Nick Bonito.

is a Makeo shark. That's the fastest. shark in the ocean. Like his takeoff is. electric. He wasn't beat by that at all. In fact, he must have like anvil for. hands because when he gets his mitts on. you, he ain't giving it up. And he'll. stone you. He's got heavy hands. And you. can see it. He's like he's light on his. feet right there. All kinds of traffic. He's putting guys on their back, little. pancake blocks. But he he was tall. Like. I was out there in St. Charles uh St. Joseph, Missouri this summer and he was. competing for the starting right tackle.

job. Then they had injury with Trace. Smith, the right guard. who went to. right guard and he played his first. snaps at left tackle last night and you. can't tell that it was a rookie making. his first start undrafted. It was an. impressive performance. >> Baldi, how's he go undrafted actually? Like he's he's a national champion. He's. huge. Obviously, he has the ability. Isn't that like the draft is what we. think he could become? What he think he. could become? How did they how's. everybody miss? And then he had to go. try out, right? It wasn't even like he. was an undrafted free agent signing. He.

had to go try out. How does that how. does that happen? You think actually. >> it it happened it happens every year. I. mean you could just say okay everybody. talked about the quarterback, everybody. talked about the three receivers they. had. They talked about the coach. They. don't really talk about the offensive. line and what he did against Ruben Bane. in the national championship game or. anything. You know, they they just. concentrate on just a couple of people. And even the guys that are going to do. their homework, they're looking at, you. know, size, weight, how fast does he run. a 40 yard dash in? All these things can.

kind of knock you down. And none of them. have anything to do with how you could. perform. I mean, Andy Reid has found. free agent offensive linemen for 25. years in this league. Uh he did it in. Philadelphia. He's been doing it in. Kansas City. Um and so he just has an. eye for this. He's an old offensive. lineman himself. He's got an eye for. guys that can stay on their feet, have. good balance, have the right amount of. toughness, and then just the me the. mentality, Pat, where if you do get. beat, you don't need a shrink to talk on. the sideline to to get yourself out of a.

funk. You can you can kind of get. yourself out yourself. >> You're talking about mental toughness. Yeah, we need that. >> Okay, you need that. We've been thinking. uh and we haven't been naming any direct. organizations in our private. conversations, but feels like every soft. culture loses and every tough culture. wins. You know, it just feels like that. in football. Probably going to be like. that forever if we had to guess. But. that was the thing that stuck out for. the Seattle Seahawks. Hard knocks. I'm. like, that's a tough That is a culture.

over there. That's a hard ass culture. they got. That's probably going to be. good in football. And I like that you're. bringing up that Andy Reid has the. ability to find those guys as well. We. did. I didn't know. I guess I should. have assumed he was a former offensive. lineman. I just knew he was a punt. passing kicker. You remember in full. pads had the entire thing. I thought. maybe he was playing wide out, but I. guess looking at him, he probably was. >> offensive lineman. >> It's offensive lineman Pat. We're. skilled people. Like it's more than just. blocking, you know, like some of us can. catch a ball. Some of us can kick a. ball. Wow.

>> Some of us, you know, can do, you know, put dunk a basketball. Some of us can do. pretty athletic things. >> I don't know if any of you can kick a. ball. I don't know if any of you could. do that. >> Eddie Reed won the punt passing kick. competition. He was the biggest kid out. there. I mean, he was a straight ahead. kicker, Pat. You know, the old Fred Cox. style straight ahead. >> Yeah, absolutely. Who else? Gross. >> Pull that video up. Pull that video up. of Andy Reed out there. >> Yeah. Is it Gross, too? He He had the. straight on, right? >> Yeah. I I remember Andy Reed being a. freak athlete. That's why I didn't think. he was offensive lineman, you know, like.

>> he can't This is real. >> Look at how natural he looks, right? I. mean, THERE'S NO WAY THAT GUY'S AN. OFFENSIVE LINEMAN. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. >> YEAH, that's my best kicker. >> That kid behind was in. the same age. >> What? >> This is a real. >> Yeah, Andy Reed was Andy Reed as a. 14-year-old we just saw. And obviously. he uh certainly. >> weapon weapon. >> I would say he was probably 13. That was. probably like the 8 to 10 right behind.

him. >> I'd hope so. So he probably might be a. Tony Alante situation actually. >> Yeah. Well, I mean, Andy Reed could have. been in college there in 15. You know, he's super competitive. You know, that. is the case. AJ has a question for you. about another hard-nosed football coach. in a tough culture. I think obviously. that's proven to win. Go ahead, AJ. >> Bald, he's talking about the New York. Football Giants. Obviously, Harball. comes in there and they uh, you know, establish themselves week one with a win. over the Cowboys. What do you think of. this offense most likely? Obviously, Jackson Dart the quarterback, but we got. Scataboo and Pat Ricard leading the way, I guess. What did you see from them week.

one? And do you think these guys are. going to, you know, win a good a good. amount of games this year? >> Well, they they they'll be in Los. Angeles this weekend to play the Rams. for their home opener, but just being. around John since he was uh special. teams coach in Philly, it's all about. culture, toughness, the team got a lot. bigger. You go get a 6'7 tight end in. Isaiah likely. You get a 310 pound. fullback in Patrick Ricard. you go get. yourself Arll Reese, a six foot five, 255 pound linebacker. They just got.

bigger everywhere. And then with that, he trains them hard. There's just no no. nonsense around John Harbaugh. And what. the what he gets the guys to do to buy. in is go beat the Cowboys on national TV. and whip them at the line of scrimmage. and then you'll really get the buy in. You know what? This guy knows what he's. doing. Jackson Dart was protected. Like. the guy was so accurate with all these. throws. Now, the Cowboys didn't cover. motor single, Terry. I don't know if. they knew he was in the uniform, what. his name was. They didn't cover him.

That that helped a little bit against. the Giants. Uh, but still up front, they. they did a great job. CC Marinoa coming. out of the University of Miami, trained. by Mario Crystal Ball, like the guy was. trained so hard down there at Miami. Coming to Harball's camp, this is where. he wants to be. This is the culture. This is what they want to be. And I just. think that they're bigger, tougher, and. I think mentally a little tougher. Getting Malik Neighbors on the on the. field was a big big boost to that team. >> Yeah, John Harbaugh tackled him. allegedly in warm-ups to prove that he.

could take a hit, which is hilarious and. good coaching. That NFC certainly looks. fascinating and interesting, does it. not? With the Giants back, we'll. continue digitally. The Shreg show is. next big day, I think. Right. >> Yeah. >> Big Days with Big Shrigs is next. >> Yeah. Monday to Thursday. >> Yeah, cuz on Friday I threw it to Big. Day with Big Shrekes. It was actually. Big P. >> [ __ ] with Big P. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, I kind of [ __ ] that. one up. I'll get that right, Bodie. Hey, we are still live, Baldi. Obviously, as. we go and I like the way uh you know, like meatthead football, okay, there's. 13 personnel this weekend, more so than.

ever. Under center, here we go. How you. doing? We're taking snaps under center. We got lineup. We got fullbacks playing. a lot of football right now. It does. feel like we're taking advantage of the. modern rules with some explosives or. like timing seem right on time throws. with the modern offenses, but it's. getting back to power football. Is that. is that something you've been seeing. over the last couple years? And is this. just s the cyclicality of football or. how do you kind of view this uh style of.

ball going? >> Well, I mean, all these quarterbacks. that have been in shotgun their whole. careers, you know, like a guy like. Jaylen Herz in Philadelphia, now he's. under center. Saquon Barkley is eight. yards deep. Uh, everybody is in two. tight end packages. Three, I've seen. three tight ends and a fullback. You. know, Andy Reid last night said, "We're. just going to run power football. put a. whopper package out there. We don't care. if you know we're going to run. Stop it. And so that mentality is back and it's. good. It's good for football. It's it it. makes you tackle. It makes you defeat.

blocks. It protects the quarterbacks. better. We need quarterbacks in this. league. We need Patrick Mahomes out. there. But then you get guys like this, like guys like Kenneth Walker, probably. the best game he's ever played. Like you. see his breakaway speed, his cutting. ability, u you know, his contact balance. just running through tackles. Now, sometimes week one, guys don't tackle. for seven months and then they're asked. to, you know, bring down the the the. Super Bowl MVP. But I think this is a. real hard trend and you're going to see. it week in week out. Broadcasters are.

going to talk about it. Fans are going. to know what 13 personnel is. They're. going to know one back, three tight. ends. We're going to know the glossery. of terms in this run formation right now. that we're getting. >> Yeah. Do you think Saquon and the Eagles. >> kind of showcase that you can do that or. do you think this is just natural. evolution of smaller guys on the. defensive side of the ball and offensive. coordinators wanting to take advantage. of that? 28 missed tackles last night. Yeah. >> For the Denver Broncos. >> Yeah, that was pathetic. Yeah, that's. bad. Like that that would be highlighted. by Shawn Payeyton in the meeting today.

All the missed tackles, all the grabbing. and diving. It's like an old NFL films. clip. Like we're just diving and. grabbing here and we're not doing. anything. And that's what it looked. like. This is bad. This is bad football. But uh you know but I saw around the. league I saw a lot of bad tackling. around the league where you go like it. was you know that touchdown by Rasheed. Rice if you put it up there. >> like they didn't pursue to the football. they didn't tackle at the point they. didn't leverage the play like this right. here it's just a little hitch on the. outside like this is bad football.

>> yeah that's gross. >> he's walking in the end zone everybody. else is like diving on top of each other. um you know we they got to do we got to. do better than that as a league. Otherwise, this is just fantasy football. out. >> Oh, Baldi saying, "Listen, >> we can't have this on TV." This cannot. be what people tune in and watch. All. right. >> They're watching flag football that that. two different sports. We need our guys, especially the defense that we have so. much respect for. Great punt there by.

Rasheed, by the way. Uh, shout out to. him blasting that thing. But the Denver. Broncos have led the NFL in sacks the. last two years. They're known as like a. great defense. They're known as a. physical defense, which kind of goes. back, do you think offensive. coordinators are like, let's take. advantage of these guys who haven't. really had to handle physical football. And is this going to be something that. continues all season or will there will. come a time where defense I guess this. is more of a question for you, AJ. Do we. think like these defenses will naturally. get better at tackling as they do more. tackling through the season? Are we.

about to see like week 8 through week 12. just old school 1990s. like smashmouth football with not the. massive amount of points that we saw. this past weekend because I think the. run game was leading to an explosion of. points which is so against I think. natural philosophy. So AJ are these guys. going to start tackling or do we have a. generation of players right now that. might not be the right size to be. playing against this style of offensive. football? No, I think you got you'll see. guys settle in as I mean Baldi pointed. out like you go seven months without. live tackle and all of a sudden you're.

trying to tackle the Super Bowl MVP who. looks more jacked than he's ever been in. his whole life. So yeah, I think the. tackling will get better. It's something. you get you get used to and you get more. like in game shape I think. But yeah, there's uh hopefully we are going to see. this throughout the year and think about. it as the season goes as the elements. become a bigger part of the game and you. playing in cold weather climates like. you're going to need to rely on some of. this run game. >> Got to rep it. Just got to rep it. I. think they'll definitely get better. And. a lot of things we used to say as. defenders is, you know, tackling is. about want to. It's kind of like. rebounding basketball. It's about it's. about want to because you don't get to.

practice it. You're never going to. practice it against your teammates. So, you're only going to do it live uh most. occasions on game day, Sundays, Mondays, Thursdays. So, yeah, teams will get. better. But, uh Baldi, going to the. Bears offense, kind of sticking with the. theme of hard-nosed teams. Ben Johnson. has brought a hard-nosed brand of. football over there. They rush for over. 290 yards, six rushing touchdowns. And. they also have the element of that. dynamic quarterback play with Caleb. Williams. What's your expectations for. the Chicago Bears this year? >> Well, when Ben Johnson came out in.

August and said, "We want to be the. highest scoring offense in football of. all time. >> Not just this year, of all time. He. wants to take down the Patriots. offense." Like, he wasn't joking. He he. was basically breaking all barriers of. everybody in the house, not just the. players, the coaches, the secretary. We're gonna we're gonna set new records. So, he's got uh he's got an escape. artist in Caleb Williams and a magician. that can just make these kind of plays. over and over and over again. And then.

you just see the whole buy in like on. the Kyle Manungai 60-yard touchdown run. Like you watch this block by Khif. Raymond, you know, and Luther Burton. like they just knock guys out. It was a. fiveyard run that went 61 yards. So, it's it's it's how everybody is coached. and what the expectations are at every. single position. Theo Benedict came in. to play left tackle during a game. The. kid went to the University of British. Columbia. That's the block right there.

by Ray. >> That's cool. >> But Theo Benedict's from the University. of British Columbia, but there's a. toughness to this kid and an athletic. ability and you didn't know that he came. off the bench because of the way they. played. That's that catch right there by. Roman Doomsday. Unbelievable catch of. the week over Will Lee there. But yeah, I mean this this is cra like these. blocks are crazy with you watch DeAndre. Swift and blitz pickup protecting his. quarterback. Like he's just stoning guys. four times in that game just stoned. rushers. Bobby O' Carer came and Bobby.

O' Carrick stopped like he didn't get. near the quarterback. This is good. stuff. This is the stuff that gets you. excited here Pat on a Monday afternoon. in the film room. >> Yeah, I could imagine. And also on a. Tuesday afternoon here as Baldi's laying. out what you're pumped up about. So, you're saying this is sustainable and. this is something we need to just get. used to because him projecting about. wanting to be the highest scoring. offense in the history of the NFL. Was. that him potentially saying, "Hey, I. really like where Caleb is right now. verse where he was last year." Cuz we. all know that Ben Johnson's offense, if.

it's being operated at a high clip by. the quarterback, it is going to be. successful. I mean, what he did to Jared. Goff up there in Detroit and what the. Detroit Lions became under his. leadership on the offensive side was. electrifying and seemingly unstoppable. in the biggest moments. Always had a. third down play in the back pocket. Always had a red zone play in the back. pocket. The two must-have situations he. always took advantage of. And if you. could just play in that system, the. system will win and the system will do. great. I think he knew where Caleb was. And where do you think Caleb is right.

now in this system? because it looked. spectacular under center going through. reads and then everything we thought he. would be able to add to the Jared Goff. Detroit Lions offense. He was with those. longass runs. Should we expect that. Caleb's only going to get better like he. said afterwards or do we think he's. operating this offense how it's supposed. to operate as they score 59 points in. their opening week? >> They scored 59 points and he was. awesome. They put up almost 600 yards of. offense and they left points on the. field. You know, that's the thing. Like.

there was more points to be scored. Carolina kept him to 60. They could have. scored 80, you know. So, it's it's that. kind of mentality. But Caleb is I. remember doing a at a high school. football camp with Caleb when he was at. Gonzaga High School in DC and I'm took. him into the film room. He he already. knew exactly how to defeat every. coverage. And then you went out and you. watched him throw and you're like, that's an NFL arm when he was in high. school. And then you see this balance. and athletic ability, his ability to see.

the whole field. I mean, his tight end. didn't catch a ball. His starting tight. end didn't catch a ball. And and yet, like this throw right here to Cole KT, the other tight end, like that's a drag. wheel route. Everybody has it in their. playbook. Not everybody can make that. throw against great coverage of. Carolina. So, I mean, I I think anything. is possible right now. uh especially. when they can run the ball and how they. continue to run the ball. Short yardage, third and five, they're running the. football. They just have a belief in.

what they're doing right now and a two. back system with Swift and Manungi. Um. it's lethal. It's It's very very lethal. >> Yeah. I hope they're able to do it, you. know, cuz that team's coming to Indiana. >> Yeah, you're right. >> Uhhuh. >> And then you can make the official. switch. >> with me. Well, >> whoa. I'm not one thing about Ben. Johnson. Go ahead. >> One thing about Ben Johnson, Pat, like. there's no rat poison, okay, being. swallowed at Hall. It just like you can. we can rave about that team all you.

want. I'm telling you, he's finding a. way to let them know that that was a. disappointing performance. There's more. to be gained. And I think he he's got. their attention. >> He wasn't going to do the chant, right? >> Yeah. He's basically making them beg to. do it. >> All right, guys. Let's break it up. Let's get out of here. They go, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We. got a little good, better, best thing. You know, we're we're still in the. middle of this working. They love him. out there. >> Oh, yeah. >> And he was shirtless. What towards the. end of the year last year. >> and the boys are really rallying, you. know, cuz we all wondered were he and. Caleb going to be able to get along, you. know, because you're talking about him.

being miserable today uh in finding a. reason to be miserable about a 59 point. performance on offense, 37 points on the. other side, which I would assume is what. he is looking to be miserable about. But. we thought maybe he and Caleb would. never get along. He was going to have. the power. Maybe Caleb goes somewhere. else. Instead, it's like everything. we've heard Caleb say is he wanted this. This is exactly what he wanted. He wants. to be coached. He wants to be the. greatest and he understands what's uh. available and how much better he can be. It's like maybe perfect marriage. Maybe. they got it right up there in Chicago. and maybe this is the foreseeable future.

in the NFC North as there's question. marks with the Vikings. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> There's question marks with the Green. Bay Packers. >> Certainly. >> The Detroit Lions. We assume. >> but like we'll see after Thursday 21. >> We'll assume. I I mean that's just what. we got to do. Saints are a good football. team we think. But we assume that the. Lions are a good team. But it's like. this could be the Bears I mean Chicago. fans could be having a great decade and. a half. What? Pete Crow Armstrong also. How old is he? >> Very young. >> Four youngard.

>> How are the Bulls? >> Captain Captain Bard. >> Fourth overall pick. Caleb Bolson. showing a lot of promise for the Bulls. this year. >> He's at the Cubs game too. Is Chicago. about to be. >> White Socks are going to make the. playoffs this year? >> Moonshot of Taka. >> Oh my god. We're all going to have to. live in that, right? That the Chicago. fans are about to be backing very loud. >> Well, you got to win titles, though. Making the playoffs. Who gives a [ __ ]. Chicago is a big big city. I mean, who. gives a [ __ ] if they make the playoffs? You got to win titles. >> I mean, last year I think they gave a. [ __ ] in that. >> Well, right. Cuz they have been hammered.

dog [ __ ] for so long, but now the. expectations are, you know. >> Oh, you're saying they were in the shite. division for a long time? >> A long time. A long time. >> Really? the Shite division, Chicago. Bears for that long. Do you think they. would have been in the shite division in. the last few uh decades. >> before Caleb got there? I mean, what who. who was it when I flu got fired on. Thanksgiving? >> They they were in the shite house then. They were in the shite division then. Yeah. >> Well, congrats to Chicago Bears fans. Look like you guys have something to. cheer for for the next 15 years, especially cuz you'll be able to keep. them healthy. >> You're going to love Indiana. >> I mean, golf, what's that?

>> And they're going to love Indiana. and. we would like them to come visit their. team on a very regular basis so that our. state can maybe find a way out of what. we're giving to have uh the Chicago. Bears come to Indiana. Baldi, we. appreciate the hell out of you, buddy. >> Yeah, thanks Pat. Yeah. >> Hey again, man. >> Great weekend, guys. >> Yay. Thank you. You, too. Did you see. Jason Kelsey's pass set last night? >> Uh, no, I did not. I. >> You need to see it. Hey, >> it looked good. It looked really good. >> He I mean, he took like a three yard. I. mean, it was he looked like he glided.

across and he from my understanding. Jason Kelsey has been wanting to do. fully padded one-on- ones with fans here. during Monday Night Countdown. So, I. think he does keep himself in great. shape. But, I think you should check. that out. And I think maybe you should. show something after I saw you. >> working out. >> Holy [ __ ]. >> Yeah, I saw you getting after it, Baldi. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. You're a monster, Baldi. Let's go. What an inspiration you are. That's uh. that's Lane Johnson's barn uh in the.

back in the back of his house right. there. And uh it's got a full weight. room. So I I sneak over there every. Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Try to get. a little bit in. >> How much weight you had on that bar. body? I know this trick. >> I don't know. >> 245. at least. >> I do like you did a vertical shot on a. potential wide with the weights. Yeah, you got to do what you got to do. This. guy had 315 lbs on this board. You know, many people don't know that. Yeah. >> Bod, how old are you, if you don't mind. me asking? >> Uh, I am 67 today, Pat.

You. got to be faster than the sharks, Pat. >> Oh, deep. You know, you're free diving. from the surface. >> Breath for a minute and a half, two. minutes down there. You got to be lean. >> You got to be lean. You got to have. great, you know, lung capacity. Like. that's what free divers do. >> What? Hold on. He's two and a half. >> What's your deepest What's your deepest. dive? I. >> I can I can free dive to 50 or 60 feet. I don't need to go any deeper than that.

But also follow up. You have. the merman floppers on? >> No, I don't have I just got I got good. flippers. I got good free diving. flippers, man. So, you know, a couple. little couple little flutters and I. could be down the bottom pretty quick. >> Okay. So, you're on boat. They take you. out to a diving spot. They say, "Hey, if. you're able to get to 50 ft, you'll be. able to see she sharks. You'll be able.

to see." Is that kind of Is this like I. might want to get into this. Actually, this sounds like a good time. >> Your ears. >> My ears will pop every single time. because the amount of pressure I assume. But. >> yeah, just just got to clear it. Clear. the ears. But I I I swim out to the. reef. just swim out to the reef and then. I go down, you know, when I when I see. something interesting down there. >> Oh, so you're just kind of casual. swimming around and then all of a. sudden, wait, what's down there? Let me. go. And bang, two and a half minutes. down there. You see a big logger head or. something, you know, like this is this.

is cosml down here. Like big school of. fish down there. There we go. >> How long you been going Donner with uh. with no oxygen? >> Uh well, I mean I I can scuba with the. best of them, but I like that right. there. I just like holding a breath and. going to take a look and. >> go down there for a minute, minute and a. half, maybe take a spear gun with you, find a lobster or something like that, you know, whatever. Like it's just. entertaining. Pat, you never know what. you're going to see down there. >> You're from Pittsburgh, >> man. North Hills. >> Love that. So, you go down in Manonga.

Hala. >> Is that how we got started? >> I like visibility, Pat. I like the. visibility of the Manonga Hala just. isn't isn't my cup of tea. >> When did you get into this? Have you. always been a water animal or are you. just like when. >> Always, always, always, man. I was a. lifeguard growing up on the beach. So, I. was always in the water surfing and. boogie boarding and all that kind of. stuff. But then I when I got a place in. Florida, I just got the mask and fins. and just started Leonard Williams from. the Seattle Seahawks is he's a he's a. spear fisherman. He can hold his breath.

longer than anybody I know. He's down. there for two two and a half minutes. There's a group of them down there in. South Florida. >> Yeah. We just we just kind of head to. the beach. Then we just swim out and. then we say, "All right, we're going. down here." Yep. We'll see you guys in. about 3 minutes. We go down there. >> That's the Lauderdale by the Sea Pier. right there. Yeah. There's always good. visibility. A lot of fish down there. A. lot of sharks underneath there kind of. feeding right there. But it it's it's. it's fun though cuz honestly you'll see. some barracudas, you know, sometimes.

down there like, oh man, there it's just. like eye opening, you know. >> Yeah. Yeah. Certainly. Well, yeah, you. have to. Uh, so are you punching shark. in nose? What are we doing? No, >> no, no. There's guys out there that want. to be aggressive. Kiss the shark. Kiss. the shark club. I'm not doing that, but. I but I will try to, you know, if there. if I see uh, you know, a bull shark by, I might kind of trail it for a little. bit. See if I can keep up for a while. >> But usually they're going in a different. direction. >> That's a Nectton mentality. Brian. Bolinger.

>> Yeah. >> And was it a Minko? What? Mo. Look it up. Make sharks the fastest. shark in the sea. 60 m an hour. >> What the [ __ ] are you doing this close. to this shark? >> Holy [ __ ]. >> Oh yeah. Well, we ch the waters that. day. >> We were actually looking for this guy. Yeah, >> bullshan. cuss. >> He say he's trailing him. So this bull. shark trying to look over his [ __ ]. fins at what? Baldi's behind. >> Keeping up. Baldi still got it. Still. >> with his cheeks puffed cuz he's got the.

last gas of air in there. Come here, bull. And he's trying to slap him on the. ass. I guess the tail, the fin. I keep. What can I say, man? That that thing. that that went right Yeah. It came. pretty close. >> Uh yeah. >> Yeah. I think they have a little uh you. know, the Kiss the Shark Club or. whatever. I think the Sharks have a. club, too. Stay away from Baldi again. Uh it feels like that's the case. I. don't know if we should all be doing. that, but I love that you're doing it. 67 years old, man. Keep inspiring. Keep. moving. And uh take more pictures cuz.

we'll never do that. Okay, I'll send. I'll send them out. Post them out there, Pat. You got it, man. >> Thank you. It feels like I'm a part of. it. I'm going put those on the virtual. reality if I So then I'm actually in. there and I'll even do the thing. You're. the man, ladies and gentlemen. Oh, oh, oh. Here's the set from Kelsey last. night. Here's a set from Kelsey. >> See, >> he's left tackle Khalil Benson. >> Jmack is Bonito. >> Gotcha. >> And the first one, it's like uh you. don't want to get off slow on a snap. S. Yeah, Bonito's got you cuz he shot out. Okay, he's a makeo shark to your point.

So what Jason Kelsey said was, "You got. to get off. You You got to know what it. is. You got to be there way earlier than. everybody else." If I WAS CLEAR AND. SHOT, BOOM. LOOK AT THAT. HUH? STILL GOT. IT THERE, BUDDY. What do we think? >> Well, that's good. I mean, Jason's like, that's a world class lacrosse player, football player. You watch him on the. golf course. Like, he's just an athlete, period. He's got his white tennies on. right there, light on his feet. Like, he. can still go chase a linebacker down the. field right there. Getting to the second. level. I think he could catch a bull.

shark, too, if he had to. Some people. were not happy on the internet about him. wearing tennis shoes. >> Yeah, I saw that. I saw. >> I don't get it. >> Taking pass sets. >> Who cares? >> He's supposed to work. >> Yes, Baldi. >> Billy. >> Hey, man. Brother. Hey, you're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Brian Baldinger. >> All right, let's get to a break on the. other side.

So. >> he said, "That's. >> That was me.". >> You just said, "Shut up.". >> I brought AJ down instead of Baldi. >> Oh, >> man. What if Baldi would have said, "I. [ __ ] hate these guys.". >> That would have been that would have. been incredible after the combo we just. had. He's spectacular. Yeah, man. >> The way he says everything. >> I would dive with them. That'd be.

awesome. >> You could probably hold your breath. pretty long. You're in great shape. >> I take pride in holding my breath. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I've been doing so as a kid. >> Oh, really? Me, too. Cuz we used to try. to get through the front 10 minutes. >> 10 minutes. >> As a documentary, there's a guy that. teaches people he can hold his breath 10. minutes. Yeah. It's a long It's a long. long road to get there. But yeah, >> you got. >> Thank you. >> Okay. So, what you got to do like. exercises to like uh. >> The guy does all kind of stuff. Yeah. >> I mean, he could do eight minutes, right? Hey Tom, I just looked it up. Tom. Cruz 6 to 6 and a2 minutes. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I potentially talked to Tom Cruz last.

And I'll tell you, I was dripping in sweat. >> Mhm. >> And he had a leather jacket on. >> Yep. >> And didn't have a single. >> Jeez. >> drop or bead of sweat anywhere. >> Bull was a cucumber. >> I asked somebody, "How's this guy as he. walked away? How's this guy wearing a. cow on him right now or a faux cowl and. not sweating? And they say, "He's a. movie star, brother. He's the movie. star." Yep. >> He doesn't sweat, dude. This is just.

kind of what it is. And I had a big. hearty laugh at that. I mean, I had a. big. >> Cuz it's very true. >> Yeah. It seemingly is. >> CC difference. >> Seemingly is. Got a chance to uh. chitchat with uh Miss Taylor Swift last. night. >> Oh, >> yeah. Had a chance. Yep. >> There you go. >> Huge day. >> Yeah. >> Told us uh what's up.

Her mom brought uh.

sugarcoated bacon strips. >> Oh, candied bacon. >> Yeah, there it is. Candy bacon. That. might be million dollar bacon. >> It was Yeah, you're right. We're not. 100% sure what number it is. Maybe. trillion at this point, but it was a. thousand degrees. So, we walk all the. way up there. Shout out to Jason Kelsey. so happy that I'm on a cast with him. He. is an absolute legend, as did everybody. up there. We walk up here, I'm dripping. in sweat. Okay, I am absolutely dripping. in sweat. Take the jacket off. We walk. in, my shirt is just drenched,

It was so loud. hitting the roof every. time anything happened. It was pretty. electric. >> Everybody in there was all in on I mean. it and then he had that 57 yard. >> catch. We were in there for that. Oh my. god. It was That is what like being a. football fan was like cuz I don't. obviously I don't know if Taylor I know.

she had the Eagles jersey on whenever. she was young. She sang national anthem, but she's been so busy with her career. I don't know how much he was into. football and I don't know how much. everybody else that was in there like. obviously you got Kelsey portion of. everything too that are all football. people in there but I don't know how new. other people were to football. It's like. watching them experience the game was. fant I mean it was they're all in though. >> is TC no ball. you just [ __ ] say. >> [ __ ] ball watch your [ __ ] mouth.

Cooper Deine He was a local ty where was. he from. >> TC? >> Yeah. >> T. >> heaven. >> Not a [ __ ] Not a ball place. >> Uh in that movie he was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Exactly. I'd assume LA. >> [ __ ] [ __ ]. >> Just a question.

>> But yes, he knew ball. >> He's from Mars. We all. >> He was understanding what was going on. All of them. There was that fumble where. uh on down the left sideline. >> and guy was out of bounds when he. touched it and then it could have been. scooped up and gone in there. Yeah. >> So, in the moment, holy hell, there's a. place erupts. Obviously, >> yeah, there was a lot of that actually. up in the front. Not just TC, >> Taylor as well. I mean, there was a full. >> we got it going on. And as soon as they. saw the replay, stepped out of bounds, everybody before it was even announced,

I was like, "Oh, no ball." Like, it was. like the it was a uh it was a quick. moment where I was like, "Oh, I'm gonna. have to explain to everybody the [ __ ]. guy was out of bounds in this entire. thing." like I can already feel that. this is about to happen. Instead, they're like, "Ah, out of bounds." Moved. on just like completely understanding on. to the next thing. So, it's like I got a. chance to actually see that that entire. suite. I know it's on camera a lot and. they don't I don't think they like that. by the way. They just want to watch the. game. I think from my understanding, they just want to watch the game. I'm. here to support my husband, here to.

support like our friends. I don't know. what's the sweet arrangement, but we are. here just to have a good football. And. they certainly do. I [ __ ] loved it. It's not just for the camera, I would. say, because we were in there, had a. little had a little speaker going in the. back. >> Nice. >> Never seen that in a suite. Genius move. >> Somebody was on the aux in the back. Banger after bang. Good vibes IN THE. BACK. AH, AND OBVIOUSLY Chiefs are. winning there. So, >> yeah, >> that's good. >> Would probably would have uh been a. little different story if they were. losing, but they were winning. And I'll. tell you them all kind of seeing Kenneth.

Walker go crazy like we like this. Hey, >> we like this guy. M this guy's really. good. >> Should have took that minus 10. I knew. it. >> If I had a new TC to bring, I would have. took minus 20. >> Yeah, no kidding. >> Patty Cuts was bringing it, too. >> Shout out Patty Cuts. I'll tell you. what, Patty Cuts. >> No, bacon was the most memorable. There's a guy named Bacon in there. >> And uh. >> Oh, not the bacon. You ate. >> bacon. No, the candy bacon also great. because.

>> Mama Swift brings that in. And I believe. like baking and cooking is the thing. So. soon sweating all over. Taylor, thank. you so much. It's great to see you. How. you doing, mom? Immediately, hey, would. you like a pizza? And I go, "Holy, I'm. okay. Thank you.". >> OH, GOD. FINALLY. YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE. CANDY. HOLD ON. HOLD ON. CAN I please explain. myself? I JUST SWEAT all over Taylor. Okay. I felt like an [ __ ] Okay. Completely. Should not be here. Why am I. here? Is everybody sweating in here or. like I didn't really know what was going. on, how embarrassed I should be. Mom.

comes in with tray of candy bacon. Would. you like some? I'm trying not to be an. inconvenience. I don't want to be a. bother. I go, "No, thank you." And then. I turn for a second. I go, "Yes, I would. like that." Actually, I've heard you're. a [ __ ] Yes, I would love that. Thank. you so much. You're the best. Love that. you had your phone at the wedding, by. the way. That was a gangster move. Cuz. right after uh ceremony, Mom Swift goes. up, model Kelsey, the parents go up, kind of explain what's about to happen, how everything's about to go. Mama Swift. goes, "I know you guys aren't going to. love this." Pulls her cell phone out cuz.

nobody has their phone obviously. And I. was like, "Yes, I love this lady right. here." she kind of handled the entire. situation. So, it was the last time and. the only time I've ever really seen her. So, her bringing me that and hearing it. was like I did feel like an [ __ ]. immediately being like, "No." But I was. trying not to bother anybody. I was. like, "Yo, disrespectful. Please, I. would love to have it." It was. delightful. >> Did you happen to ask uh Donna Kelsey. how the addition on her house is going? >> Oh, yeah. >> I didn't [ __ ] That's on me. I missed. it. >> I was kind of starruck by Donna Kelsey. as a star. >> She's tall. >> Yeah, that makes sense.

>> It does make sense. >> Yeah, it certainly does. some athletes. >> Ed was in there, too. >> Ed's a house. >> Yeah, he was. I I I gave him a full good. for you, man. Hell yeah, dude. Nice to. meet you. He goes, "Pat just he was. going to the bathroom.". >> Yep. >> All right, let me get the hell out of. here. Yeah, it was uh maybe the safest. place in the Midwest. >> You think Tom's there? >> Yeah, >> Taylor's there. >> Saw I saw a guy sitting in front of the. suite in the actual stands. Internet was. like, "That's a bodyguard.". >> Yep, I saw that guy. >> Yeah. So, I know a few of Travis's guys.

Obviously, they're good dudes. Ohio. guys, you know, sports guys. So, it's. great. And I started pointing at people. I'm like, "Ah, man. I don't know who a. lot of these people are in here." I'm. like, "Who's that guy?" Security. I'm. like, "For who?" And he goes, "Uh, I don't know." But definitely had an. earpiece in. It's like, man, I are the. [ __ ] seals in here. There there was a. chance. >> Probably. Definitely. >> But it was. >> Tom's his own security. >> I was going to say TC. >> He doesn't have any, >> right? >> Oh, yeah. Probably. >> He's got a satellite on him at all.

times. You were about to be like, "No, I. know.". >> No, no, no, no. I don't want to give anything. I just. want to let everybody know I felt very. safe in there. I was looking around and. I'll tell you as a. >> as an observant person. Yeah. And also, >> yeah, the litany of others. >> Lieutenant Pete Mitchell. >> Yes. Black belt and like 10 different, you know, practices. >> It's TC. >> Doesn't need a body. >> No. No. Of course not. >> No. >> But looking around that suite last. night, it was like this is this is the. power of ball, you know? like this is.

the power of fly. I don't want to say I. got emotional, but it was like this is. [ __ ] awesome. If you could bottle. that experience in that suite with the. people that were in there just enjoying. the game and give that to people who. didn't know the sport or anything, I. think they would be addicted to it. forever. That was awesome. Thank you for. the hospitality up there. They [ __ ]. love it every play. I mean, it was it. was like uh I almost felt like kind of. man, maybe I don't like ball, you know, because like a couple plays happen, it's. like, all right, we're just kind of. bullshitting like, no, they're in like. every single play, every single snap. It.

was uh it was quite an experience. Then. I had to go home. >> Sure. >> I had to leave and I got mocked and. ridiculed for that. >> You know, it's already got a day job. We're leaving the game. >> Yeah. Because, you know, they were going. to celebrate. That was a huge home. opener win. You know, say you got to why. you leaving right now? You just said. that this is the greatest you've ever. been. Why you want to get They were a. very positive bunch. I would say there's. a guy named Demetrius. >> Tell you what, >> that guy's got to figure it out. >> More than not Bacon. Bacon's got it.

figured out more than anybody. This guy, not the candy bacon, a guy named. >> Bacon. Mhm. >> He was described in a text. Who's the. fat little legend? Okay. And that's what. you just need to know about this Bacon. character. >> That's what I learned quickly. You're. talking about an icon that's hanging. around that group and uh he should be. the he he might end up being the most. famous one of them all. >> Okay. >> From my No, not going to get into it. All right, let's take a break on the. other side. Thank you to everybody in. Kansas City for the hospitality. That. was a spectacular start to the Monday.

Night Countdown run. Shout out to. college football. All the environments. that we've got a chance to experience. have been absolutely on fire. College. football's bringing it. NFL is killing. it. And on the other side, we got a new. segment. Sick. >> Is that a public photo right there? I don't think we need to bring it up and. out. But that is Bacon right there that. I am looking at on that screen right. there. >> We don't need to do that to Bacon. Bacon's living a good little life. Okay. Bacon's a great little great big life I. would say.

>> in this entire thing from my. understanding. But last night was. awesome. Thankful for it all. We got. more football in sports to talk about on. the other side. more headlines to break. down and uh football's break. How's. baseball? Is baseball still doing? >> Oh yeah, big time. Heating up big time. >> Judgy hit one. >> Yeah, he hit one to the [ __ ] moon. last night. Uh which was nice. This is. his first home run back. So, uh still. kind of same deal last time we talked. about it like the the playoff the. standings are going to flip around and. switch around a bunch over like the last.

week of the season here. >> Uh okay. So, Judge goes yard in front of. 200 people in Minnesota. Yeah, it was. rainy, really shitty weather, but. >> yeah, it looked the cra, you know, a lot. of people dressed like seats there as. they judge. >> The twins suck, so that's a big part of. it, too. >> Okay, that was great. Uh Tol, our our. man Toll, >> he had an immaculate inning, which is. what, nine pitches and then three outs. Strike them all out. And right. beforehand, I saw the beautiful moment. where he actually says to himself, man, I'm about to have a nine pitch inning. right here. And a big smiles, enjoys the. moment, and then delivers. This guy's an.

icon in my eyes, a legend. I love him. Are the Red Sox gonna have a chance to. go on a run or like are we actually. going to win at all this year? >> Yeah, we are in it with the Yankees as. well. We're we're probably the only two. teams in the AL that have kind of locked. in their wild card spot. You could say. that third one being a little bit more. of a closer run. But yeah, him our ace. Gar Crochet coming back from the DL. pretty soon as well. Kind of similar to. Judge been out for most of the year. So. yeah, Red Sox and Yankees are both going. to be in it big time. >> I love this tall guy. >> How about the smile right before them?

>> I love it. I'm gonna throw this as hard as I can. right down the middle and see if he can. hit it or not. >> I I like the thought of him potentially. figuring out what's happening too in. real time. Oh [ __ ]. >> Yeah, there is an opportunity here to do. something special. Let me go ahead and. put everything in this. This is the guy. that hugged somebody last week. Did a or. two weeks ago did a push-up last week. Now he's smiling before accomplishing. How often does this take place? >> Like almost never. >> Very rare. My favorite baseball player.

This. guy. >> Okay. >> I don't like what you're doing with the. strikes though.

You're on it. >> Oh, fell off.

Foul ball. You got me though there, right? >> Yeah. >> Contact. Okay. >> Yeah. I will put on my Twitter bio. Made contact. >> What's your throw? This will be his curve, right?

That's all I got right there. >> Yeah, I saw it. >> Hey, fast ball away. All right. >> Over here, >> maybe. I mean, you never know, but I'm.

going to try. Basketball whip. >> Oh, I think I got it. I think I got it. I. think I got it. I think I got it.

I got it. Hey, good work, dude. That was awesome. >> I knew the curve was coming right there. >> You did? Yeah.

>> How'd you know? >> Uh, just because I thought cuz I made. contact. >> Oh, yeah. You read my mind. >> All right, let's [ __ ] make a one. Yeah, >> you got it. >> You told me fast ball away. >> Yeah, I cut in a little. You got Jiren, but contact. >> like I was aiming away through a two. seamer and it's supposed to kind of run. but it kind of ran the other way. >> I didn't think about the punch out. pitch. Like I was sitting there. I'm. like he's he's up 02. >> You're definitely going to hit me with. something.

>> Oh, where'd you go? >> Catcher got you there. >> I think I got on base. >> That's an infield single. You know it. You had you had enough though. Do you. see his face? He said, "I don't know. >> I don't know about. >> that's real." He said, "ookie's a good. short stop from what I remember. I'll. give you one hit. Give you one hit, one. foul ball, and then uh I did catch. Does. that count?" Cuz I call your foul ball. >> The catch definitely counts as a twofer. there. >> Okay. There's a few swinging misses. >> A lot of swinging misses. >> So yeah, you just you just let me know.

>> We appreciate you being a great. American. Good luck. >> Thank you. Hey, no, there's no way I'm going to be. able to throw enough strikes. >> All right. >> Thank you, dude. >> You're the best. >> That was great, man.

When I was a kid, I get this feeling. I called it white buzz. and everything would go white. and I'd start buzzing. I get the same feeling when I started. playing football.

That white buzz would come pouring into. my brain like a river of fire. It's like I'm not me in that moment. It's like my body is invaded by. something.

Sounds like a gas. >> Eight weeks of training. I don't think. we've had enough time. We got you.

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

>> Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our hum of the boat. The draft kings. thunderd on this football is the. greatest Tuesday September 15th 206. Hour three the program starts now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE GREATEST. THAT'S AJ. HAWK. the toxic tables here at Boston. Conor and at Ty Schmidt. One half of the. hammer that Cowboys AP Ton is here and. nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is. here. Good to see you, Debb. >> Uh,

>> it's been a great start to the season. So good. >> AJ, don't you think it's been a. phenomenal start to the football season. this year? >> Almost record setting points already. this year. >> Oh, the NFL has shown up in a big way. and college has just had chaos already. happened. So, football is awesome and uh. I think we're all lucky to be. experiencing it and we can't wait for. next week to start. But we need to point. out something that hasn't been pointed. out yet. Okay. Obviously, everybody's. saying the defenses are uh ass. >> Mhm. >> Defenses actually could just potentially. be the entire AFC and NFC shiny division.

in of themselves, you know, and a lot of. exNFL players and exNFL coaches are. coming out saying, "These guys don't. even know how to tackle. They don't know. how to cover anybody. These guys don't. treat the preseason with any respect. because all they want to do is get to. the regular season. They're just ass for. the first three, four weeks. That's how. we should just be viewing what defense. is going to be going forward. I don't. know if that's necessarily true cuz. there was a lot of things that actually. happened on defensive side that are. pretty electrifying, >> massive plays,

>> huge turnovers that aren't just. happening, but are being forced. And. that's why we decided that we have to do. debuts peanut punch out spotlight. You see his debut there with the punch. out, but it's actually peanut punch out. We don't want to give anybody else. credit because Chuck Pagano tried to do. that a couple years back with the NFL. with a video about this. But the punch. out obviously Peanut Tilman made it so. damn famous. He had precision strikes, was able to get turnovers, forced them. Then it's kind of evolved through the.

league. Now it seems like it is. something that is taught, expected, and. certainly executed. First week had a. bunch of them. Do you? >> Absolutely. We had 44 turnovers across. the league. That's up 14 from last year. in week one. Now last year was more of a. down year and we were in the league. This was something we saw but we didn't. see it really every week. Peanut Tilman. was the guy that made it popular. Obviously well before that is we all. know it originated with uh Chuck Pagano. back at Wyoming. But then we had Peanut, we had Darius Leonard, we had Marlon. Humphrey. We have these guys who kind of. made it Fred Warner. We see him do it.

week in and week out. And this something. we see in practice every day with teams, you know, kind of focusing on running. backs have to go back to the huddle and. we're still punching out, punching out, punching out of the ball. So, yes, tackling was shitty week one and it will. get better, I think, as the season goes. on, communicating new defensive. coordinators, new play calls. But I love. what I'm seeing from all these punch. outs, these forced fumbles. Now, ball. carriers, you got to be aware when guys. are chased from behind. And you can see. from this tape, we got Dlinemen, we got. big boys in the trenches getting in on. the punch outs now. We got linebackers.

getting in on the punch outs now and. obviously we always have DBs getting in. on the punch outs. So these punch outs. are more valuable. I don't care how much. how many yards you give up throughout. the game. If you create turnovers, we. know how important that is for teams for. defenses. That could be the difference. in a lot of these games. So I love what. we're seeing with the evolution of these. punch outs week in and week out. >> AJ, you used to have to like sacrifice. the tackle for the punch out. Now it. feels like there's a a method of getting. both body on them and fist on them. I I. I think that this one Fred Warner, he's.

going to certainly stop the motion of. the runner, but then also let's get a. shot in there if we can. The only. downfall is you hit elbow, hit something. else, you break hand, but it feels like. guys are much more confident throwing. these things, AJ, than maybe back in the. day. >> Yeah, they're so accurate. I feel like. it's something that they work on in. practice now. Like it's part of your. individual periods, but what you see now. a lot like right there, that's like old. school. Hey, first guy up, if you're the. second or third guy in, let's get a. let's get a strip or a punch attempt at. the ball. Like that's always how we were. taught back in the day. Now you're the.

first guy in. If you see that ball. exposed at all, you are going for it and. it's just it's awesome to see like how. good they are at it. Also, think about. if you're a receiver or you're a running. back. You get you get this. This happens. a few times early in the game and you. know a team's attacking the ball. It's. going to slow you down a little bit, especially when you're running like in. some traffic. Like you are not going to. be all loosey goosey with that thing. when you see defenses doing this. >> D. But I like that you did this because. a lot of people were saying the defenses. were bad. It sounds like we actually saw. some uh good out of some of the defenses. as well, but these lead immediately to. points normal.

>> Absolutely. Now points obviously is the. most important things. We know it in the. building points, then it's field. position and it's winning the turnover. battle. So the more turnovers that you. can create now defensive coordinators, defensive coaches, you're going to go in. the building, everybody's going to go. and grade their players. But the main. thing is winning that turnover battle. We going if we get three turnovers as a. defense, we expect to win that game. I. don't care how many points the offense. puts up. So stopping those drives, you. know, bread zone efficiency on defense. as well. But these punch outs, man, these these are very very valuable. Like.

tackling, that's usually a difference, one big difference of the very very good. defense and like the average defense, the open field tackling. You heard me. and AJ talk about it all the time, like. guys stapling guys to the ground in the. open field. That's big. You got to work. on that. You got to get better on that. as the season goes on. But I don't care. if you're in OTAAS with shorts and. t-shirts on, you're practicing punching. the ball out at all times. and we're. seeing it be more effective now on. Sundays. >> You talk about your defense wanting to. have three turnovers and uh it doesn't. matter what the offense does. Stats. coming out of the first weekend about. turnover differential. >> Yeah, teams that won the turnover.

differential this weekend were 13 and0. and you it felt like we saw that uh. especially last night like there were. even big moments where you know. sometimes the the other team of course. you can turn the ball over. I mean we. saw it with Patrick Mahomes. He threw. his interception and all of a sudden it. looks like the Broncos are set up first. and goal. They're going to go in and. score again. But then that gives Kansas. City a huge opportunity for their. defense to shine again. They almost get. another turnover. That was the play that. you were talking about right before the. last break where the guy stepped out of. bounds uh and got that fumble from Bo. Knicks. Unfortunately, the Broncos kept.

it, but I believe they won the turnover. battle as well. And you know, that's. just part of it, too. There's a reason. to practice it. Like if you get a. turnover, you get two turnovers, especially with the way guys are. carrying the football now, you give your. team a huge advantage to win the. football game. And it does feel like we. see that. And we also see it with. points. It's great for us. You turn that. ball over in the red zone, especially in. the other area. Like all of a sudden, you're setting your team up for success. You're going to score more. >> I always say that the negative side of. it is breaking your hand. Do we ever.

hear of anybody breaking their [ __ ] on. this? >> Negative side is that you possibly might. miss a few tackles throughout the course. of a year if you're the first guy going. for it. But the the other positive thing. too, like I said, it slows running backs. and people down. Like I've you teach. like little kids, hey, let's punch at. that ball. If I miss, I'm hitting them. in the ribs. the kidney, the back, the. stomach. Like we're, you know, we're. we're beating this team up as well. >> Well, that was kind of a part of it, right? Because guys were letting guys. fall to the ground, not touching them, and then as soon as they stood up, just. punching them right in the ribs, sternum, that was like something that.

started happening. And the NFL was like, "Excuse me, we're not doing body blows.". Okay. TJ Watt a few years ago if you. remember throwing haze just right in. there in the NFL was like hey we don't. want to have to judge intent on many. things cuz you know people don't love it. but you have to at least look like. you're going for the ball. Listen to AJ. Yeah I I I got Yeah. We got to tell them. hey listen you you missed the ball. >> You missed the ball. Quinnon Williams. though it was like broad daylight with.

that angle we had. He's punching and. rapping at the same time. It's like a. tackle form and a techn uh technique now. at this stage. And AJ's teaching it. going forward. So, he's not going to. miss that tackle if he does miss the. punch. It's a It's a really good It's a. good art form and a talent, I think, to. have. >> I I was going to ask AJ cuz you're. obviously teaching like young kids now. Like when we were younger, it was helmet. on the football. Are they still teaching. helmet on the football? Are they. teaching more of this? I mean, maybe. they're too young for what you're. dealing with, but do you know through. high school, through college, like what. they're teaching now as far as this is.

concerned? Well, how they teach. tackling, I think, is a different world. They have this hawk tackle situation, head behind, which I don't I cannot. subscribe to. I don't know exactly how. it works. I agree. >> It's called the hawk tackle, like after. you. >> It's like No, it's like with the Seattle. Seahawks kind of they kind of made it a. thing, you know, the rugby situations. How they try to keep the head and make. your head out of it and make tackling uh. safer, I guess, like in just in certain. little. >> Wait, so your head's not across the body. anymore. Is that. >> But no, I teach you bite the ball. That's what I think a lot of coaches. still teach bite the ball, which means. teaches you, hey, my eyes need to be up. And you always said head head on the.

ball, but if you say bite the ball, it's. like, okay, I got to be able to see the. ball, therefore my forehead's going. right on the on the ball. >> Well, I saw Miles Garrett practicing. this, too, didn't. >> he was worked out for him. >> Dang it. >> Wow. We didn't even think we didn't Did. we put those exercises he was doing? >> Yeah, the explosion up. Maybe that was. so different for his. >> Maybe that guy had such different. technique that his knees just couldn't. >> handle the explosion. >> That's true. >> This guy's coming in and making people.

too explosive. >> Get him out of there. >> Get him out. >> Ruining career. >> I mean, I think so. >> Yeah. >> Guess where that guy's at now? At the. [ __ ] bottom of the Pacific Ocean. >> No, Brian Baldinger went down and got. him. >> That's true. Well, I don't know. Baldi's. more of an Atlantic guy. So since this. video was taken, we now learn because he. hadn't practiced, right? >> Yeah. >> So he was practicing. >> This was like his first practice back. and he was doing this. >> Oh, this is from the summer.

>> Yeah, it's been a while. >> But in the summer, was he. >> When did he get hurt? In the summer? >> I think soon as he got traded. >> Well, that's why I'm I'm actually. wondering though, like when did he get. was he hurt in this video? >> No, cuz he went out for the very first. practice. There was video of him going. out for the very first practice, then. something happened that first week. I. don't know. >> You kind of see him tweak his knee there. a little bit. >> in this video. >> Didn't Monin take a tire iron to his. knee on his way out of the building or. was that it or. >> Well, what do we know when Miles Garrett. got hurt? Because he was limited limited. swelling. Swelling. Swelling would be a.

meniscus type situation where fluid gets. in there. I think we've all experienced. that. Obviously, anybody that's ever had. a knee, you could certainly get fluid in. there. Ed Monx used to have to get his. [ __ ] drained. >> all the time. >> All the time before every single game, you know, whenever he was down there in. Kentucky and when he joined the Flint. Tropics. So, we know like swelling. definitely happens to the knee, but did. he show up hurt? >> Did he have to go through a physical for. that? Like, >> definitely. And we saw him on the field. with Aaron Donald in pads when it was. raining in that video. So, like it's not.

like he wasn't he got there and he. didn't practice at all. Like, he. definitely was in pads on the sideline. with the Rams practicing at some point, >> but we saw him on the field too in. Australia. So, they put him out on the. field. So, it's like was he thinking he. was going to just be able to manage that. and he wasn't able to manage that? And. was he managing that the entire time? That's why they were having swelling in. the knee and he wasn't in there. Like. that's I have a I have some questions on. why I thought I was going to see Miles. Garrett and Aaron Donald together this. year and now that's seemingly delayed.

for the foreseeable future with I think. Aaron Donald. Can't wait to see him. back. Oh my god. Monday Night Football. return. >> said uncertain on big day with big. shriggs still. got why would he not be playing he's. playing. >> because he only came back to play with. Miles now Miles is out bro might have to. wait another five weeks a month. >> head coach Shawn McVey on if Aaron Donn. will play Monday haven't decided yet big. day with big shre says uncertain so how. many different ways can we phrase this.

let's toss this in chat GPT and see how. many different uh ways we can say we. don't know. >> one way or the other. Why would they. tell you though? >> They they literally never should. It. would be cool for us to just get excited. about though maybe Monday Night Football. having Aaron Donald returning to a. football field for the first time in. multiple years where a guy who's. potentially going to go down as greatest. defensive football player of all time is. hopping back in the saddle in Los. Angeles with a team that needs him, needs a spark, needs an Aaron Donald.

because the first week down in Australia. down under. >> they took a poop down under in their. pants. They did. >> All of them. >> All of them were eating Vegemite. sandwiches. >> right to the face. Vehite. >> Yeah, it was veggite, wasn't it? It was. a veggieite that found them on the AFC. NFC shite division as a Super Bowl. favorites. So maybe 99 coming back is. the only spark that they need for an. entire team. So maybe they need to tell. us a little earlier, >> you know, if they're going to have that.

Or maybe the. New York Football Giants. >> Oh, he has he doesn't want that. physicality. >> You don't think Aaron Donald wants that. physicality? Marinara. They're kind of. disrespecting on. >> Who's that? >> He doesn't want to see Pat Ricard in the. Aap. >> Who's that? >> Who? >> CC Marinara. >> I [ __ ] love Marinara. >> Me, too. >> That guy's a beast. >> Yeah, he is. >> Baldi named them uh named them all, didn't he? >> Yeah, he did. >> Soon as he said, >> Yeah, he And Baldi, I think he does kind. of literally watch every single snap of.

every single offensive lineup. >> Oh, yeah. >> I think we could have dropped any of the. teams, even the shite division teams. offensive guard. Hey, I want to hear. about this particular set of guards on. this team. I think he would have had. that for us. But you're right, Marinara. Unbelievable. Yeah, just an absolute. greater 310 lb Ricard. How you doing? Keep moving. And then they got to deal. with likely and and this was something I. think you know we should have or could. have mentioned last night if we would. have knew that Kenneth Walker was going. to be bellcow. You know, whenever you're. handing the ball off a lot like that, you know what that does?

>> Sucks them up. >> That sucks him up. >> Yep. >> And then who's right behind there? Oh, Travis Kelce for 57 yards. >> Big holes. you know, like that that he. is kind of what that's gonna be for the. Giants there with likely. >> because they got a lot of they got a lot. of meat. So, they you got to get people. in the box, right? And if you're a. linebacker, you're going to have to get. up. There ain't You're right. You have. to go. >> Got to honor it. Got to honor that run. Yeah. >> And then guess what's happening to AJ. Hawk? He's just sitting THERE GETTING. SUCKED UP. >> SUCKED UP. EUPHORIA IS HAPPENING. OH,

I'm going to make a play. And then all. of a sudden, boom. >> Yep. Right behind. >> Boom. Isaiah likely, boom. Travis Kelce, boom. All these teams that are going to. run who have tight ends that can make. catches and are fast. >> Yes, correct. >> That's going to happen right there. That. that is the 13 evolution here cuz also. fake block tight end. >> Oh, yeah. >> Shed idiot. >> Mhm. >> Sucked up linebacker. >> gone. I mean, that that is what this. becomes, right? Especially if we're. talking about the 13 runheavy uh.

offenses that we're about to see. probably. >> Yeah. Think about if you're playing like. D button know say you're playing man. you're on the tight end he's on the line. of scrimmage happen linebacker sometimes. and you're walked up and you're on him. and say it's say it's third and short. second and medium whatever it is and. you're like okay here go I got I got to. hold the C gap or I got to hold the edge. and they're going to run to me and all. of a sudden he flashes like he's. blocking boom slides right by and you. look like an idiot fall in your face and. they throw you a seam route right behind. you. >> Yep. I got benched like that my second. year. Dustin Dustin Keller Monday Night. Football Jets 22 personnel. I think it. was like third or fourth and one.

>> Same same exact situation AJ talk about. Got the edge. Gave me a little flash. Boop. And then after I'm like. >> [ __ ] Dustin Keller would never be at. the point of attacking a run. What am I. doing? Boom. Had like a 50 yard game. But yeah, it's part of it happens quick. Got to got to honor it. >> Yeah. And all all it takes is one play. >> All it takes is one play. Yeah. And. obviously what the Bears are going to do. with Ben Johnson, tight ends are going. to go crazy. Even though they even. didn't on this particular Sunday, it's. only a matter of time before tight ends. right behind the linebackers. That's why.

being able to throw this ball right here. is so important. >> Layers, the layered ball. >> Yeah. In this modern NFL offense, got to. be able to throw this ball right here. Got to be got to get over that. linebacker who got sucked UP AND IT'S. AS they're going back, you know. >> Mhm. >> Going back this way. Got to get over. there. And they're tall. Oh yeah, >> Lanky. Got to get over their head. Then. there's a corner probably on the outside. that's probably uh got some sort of. shell coverage out there. You got to And. then you got a safety on the inside. So. you got to get it over.

>> in between on time. That's what you got. to do as a quarterback. If you can do. that, feels like you can really prosper. >> Mhm. >> Doesn't matter when you're picked. Could. be Mr. Relevant. >> Yeah. >> You can be the number one overall pick. like Caleb Williams. Mhm. >> But it does feel like if you have a run. game and you can layer a ball, your. offense. is going to do really well in this. modern NFL. And Lamar Jackson, >> yeah, he certainly figured it out as. well. We had a a linebacker on the.

field. >> I don't know if you guys saw this. >> The Colts had a linebacker on the field. for 42 snaps, 42 plays, >> zero anything. He was a linebacker. >> He's a linebacker. He He. >> How does that happen? >> Zero. >> No way. >> What? >> No way. >> Not even like a half tackle. >> Didn't jump on a pile. I don't even know. if he saw a pile. I don't know if we. tackled anybody. >> Remind Bailey MCOM is the one that sent. me the stat because obviously Bailey is. a. >> 42. I think he had 42 snaps. If we could. try to find this what Bailey Mus or not.

or if Bailey was just sending me rage. >> Yeah, Kevin. >> It's PFF uh PFF grade. So, you know, take it for what it is. Shout out to. Sunday Night Football not doing that. anymore. That is very cool not to have. to learn that the worst football player. on earth is going to be on my TV screen. tonight. I'm happy I don't have to do. that. >> Wait, they're not doing it or they just. not have the gray. They're not putting. it on They're not putting it on the. >> That's actually a really good point. >> They don't have the right. >> No, they're not doing it cuz PFF sold. It's not connected to NBC anymore. >> Chris Collins, congratulations, bro.

>> Good on you, Chris. >> I mean, he certainly raised a little bit. of hell with that thing. >> Yeah, >> he got really loud, but congratulations. Yeah, according to PFF, linebacker. Jaylen Carly did not record a single. stat, 42 snaps played. >> Wow. >> Now, they might have updated that. Maybe. he had 42 tackles. I'm not 100% sure, but early reports is there wasn't a lot. happening on the defense side of the. ball. But how could he was imagine set. high.

>> rolling to a tackle jump on the pile. like something. Also, according to PFF, I believe Caleb was like the 25th best. quarterback this weekend. So, >> and that's why Caleb immediately. afterwards was like, "You'll see with. PFF. We can get a lot better. We can get. a lot better." How about Baldi saying. they left some points on the board? That. could have been 80. >> Yeah. >> And then on the flip side, is Chicago. going to be able to stop anybody? We. talk about uh you know, the football. gods with single possession games and. kind of getting lucky. >> It's like Carolina Panthers were very. high on their offense or are we very. worried about the turnover dependent.

Chicago Bears defense from last year? Um, they got a former head coach Dennis. Allen. So, I have faith in them to. figure out and figure it out and get. better. There was a stretch last year. they played with like no healthy. linebackers for a decent stretch of the. season. So, they will figure it out. I. think they will get better. Will they be. at the same uh pace they were at last. year? No. But if their offense can score. like that, just get a few turnovers and, you know, give up 21 or less. Uh, but. I'm also at the same time I am kind of. high on the Panthers offense. I like. Bryce Young. He's playing for a ton of.

money. Playing for a big contract. I. love T-Mac out there wide out. Love. Jaylen Coker. Um big Hubard. Like I I. love a lot they have going on on the. offense now. New play caller. We'll see. You know, we'll see if he can keep this. up cuz once you kind of get the book on. a guy, you know, how successful they can. be. >> How's the NFC South doing, Con? >> Uh I think they had a solid week. Um I. don't think they won, but I do think. >> What do you mean they like that the. >> the division as a whole? Uh, I know. people who were Panthers fans actually. were looking down at everybody else.

saying, "Oh, what up, bitch?" Saints. fans, Falcons fans, you guys [ __ ]. suck. We scored 37 points, so they're. actually in first place. >> Oh, cuz they scored the most amount of. points in a loss even though the entire. division lost. >> Bingo. Yes. >> They feel as if they won. I I would like. what the Saints did. I I I think what. the Saints did was good. And I. appreciate Kelly Mo. >> respecting ball. >> going. >> and going for two there. >> Yeah, I got to. >> Thank you, Kelly Mo. Don't love the play. goal. >> No, >> I I don't. Kelly Mo, your offense has. done so well. You're a super genius.

Obviously, you have a quarterback that. can shuck that thing. I don't like just. a fade. I feel like you're just kind of. putting that into the fate of football. It's kind of like me doing a universe. ball in here. Like certainly can get it, but can we not, you know, get let's have. a guarantee type play here to win the. game potentially as opposed to just a. bailout fade. Other than that, okay, I'm. being a little negative about that. particular play call. Everything else I. love what I saw from the six. >> Oh, that's a B. That's a um what do you. guys just call that AJ? Star route. Little sit from the outside. Little. seven route from the slot. Um I think.

it's good job by the defense. You got to. force. >> That's common. That happens. >> Yeah. >> I need to see some [ __ ] I. >> I You want to shut this sprint out a. little bit. Maybe give him a run option. there if he has to. >> Yeah. I just need to see, you know, this. is like betting on a coin toss. It's. over immediately. I I I would like to. >> That's good defense right there. If you. if you pause it at the top of the route, ideally you got a flat route. So you got. somebody running to the pylon and you. have a guy sitting right on the goal. line and then on the back line you got. that corner route. So you got three. options, you know, and Detroit just did.

a great job covering them all up. honestly. >> Yeah. Running back in the flat obviously. a touchdown if he gets there. That's a. complete opposite side of where he's. looking. Obviously he's one, two, three. to that side. And obviously maybe if the. Detroit Lions secondary has a. miscommunication, that guy's wide ass. open and we say it's a great call. That's what you're saying. What I'm. saying is I need a [ __ ] deucey. though. I I need some real magic. Now. >> like what the Chiefs did last night. >> Now on that note, uh not only what the. Chiefs did, the Commanders, >> uh I like Justin Fields on the field.

with. >> uh Patrick Mahomes, by the way. Yeah. And I like that they gave that to. Kenneth Walker, you know, cuz I like. that they were drawing up touchdowns for. the guys that we super boosted. Let's. continue to try to think about that as. we go forward. Like, hey, who are they. going to want to score touchdowns for. going forward? The Commanders, I thought. that I like that there was a gimmicky in. this. You're gonna right into Jaylen. Carter, right? I mean, doesn't that feel. like But once again, if they jump and. bite and it's wide open, could be a. genius. I I didn't really love it. either. >> Play. It's about the players. What do. you say? It's about the players, not the. play, I believe, is what Tom said on the.

broadcast. >> David Bla here is no man. >> Yeah, I didn't I didn't like. >> I mean, look at that spin move he Look. at the spin move he did to make this. play, though. Look, he's on the other. side of the line. Two guys spin back. into it. >> And once again, like if that ends up. working out, genius. Yeah, >> absolutely genius. But instead, I look. at it and I go, I hate that. Why? Why is. that what we're doing now? The reason. why they had to do that. >> in the situation. >> Yeah. Unbelievable. Yeah. Unbeliev. >> Yeah. It's like six yards of movement. Think about being that big, that.

athletic. >> That'd be sweet. That's what I saw last. night on the field. You just kind of get. reminded of how big these guys are and. how athletic everybody is. >> Yeah. I mean, he's way outside. >> Way out. >> He reads it, too. >> Oh, where are they going? Oh, they're. going bang. Let me hit that thing. >> Boom. You didn't think I was gonna be. here, did you? Nope. Not supposed to be. there at all. Wins the game. Now, why'. they have to do that? >> H the. >> [ __ ] going on with Stefan Dicks? >> What the hell's going on now? Did could.

he not stop and maybe the ref should. have gave him a little bit of grace here. because he was going so you know what I. mean? >> I mean, that looks. >> Do we know that's a penalty? Did they. know? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. You know, Jimmy Graham kind of. >> Well, yeah. Jimmy Graham dunking on it. I think AB used to. >> Pac-Man actually started. >> Pac-Man. Yeah, this was. >> And then they said no more touching the. upright at all. Right. That kind of. became a thing. >> Yep. Can't use anything on the fields or. prop. I think that when Tomlin put him. in against us, he when he AB ran the.

punt back, I think he did the this. gimmick right here. >> Yeah, he did. >> Okay, we all remember that. Some of us. actually had a view from like 30 yards. away on the ground while it was. happening going, "Why the [ __ ] is that. guy in the game right now?" That's what. I said. You know, I was a little bit. But Pac-Man did it back in the day. >> AB did it. Obviously, Jimmy Graham was. dunking on it. And uh they said, "You're. not allowed to touch anything." But. Stefan Diggs in a moment forgot about. that cuz he was just going so fast. He's. like, "I need to stop. Let me run my. penis into this." Yeah. >> And he did. >> Yeah. >> I mean, that was a full send.

>> It was. >> almost like a jackass skit. >> Little bit. Seriously, >> I'm going to run full speed into a pole. with my balls. >> Yep. >> At least that's a penalty, buddy. You. can't do that. >> I don't think so. Not on this football. field. And what do you do? Cost the. team. >> Yeah, he did. >> But if he didn't score a touchdown, they. wouldn't be in the situation. So, there's always the constant, you know, >> duality of man. >> Classic shite calls from the refs every. time. I mean, it's just never ends with. these guys. You think they should have. respected the fact that he rammed his uh.

entire bit into the pole there? >> I mean, there's just some calls around. the league that were just Bush League. I. mean, Dolphins got not that it mattered, we would have lost anyways, but they got. flagged on a third and 15 for a pass. break up cuz the guy did an incomplete. sign 15 yards. >> I heard there are some Packers fans are. also not happy about like maybe the. officiating. Is that real? >> Uh yeah, big time. You know, like. multiple times stopping them on third. down and kind of just fan flags. Carson. Wentz throwing an interception kind of. just flag coming out of nowhere. Carson.

Wentz getting sacked and because he's. just a big lumbering [ __ ] house. Didn't. know how to fall down on his own. So we. get the body weight thing, you know, give him another first down. Couple. things, but again, you know, he don't. put yourself in that position. Don't put. yourself in the position to [ __ ] about. the refs. >> Well, there's people I think that are. just. >> out on the NFL because of the ref. >> Yeah, I I did I did hear that as well. Not out on the Packers, out on the. [ __ ] league as a whole. >> because. >> yeah, refs are full of [ __ ]. >> I heard some gripes about refs last. night. That was fun.

>> That was really fun. >> I think TC did ask a couple questions. about the officiating. Okay. You know, I. think he certainly did. >> I I did see the internet was pissed. A. couple missed holding calls. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Broncos fans were not happy. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, as soon as Travis got. called for one, I think, right? Travis. got called for a hole. He did not get. called on the Mahomes Mahomes touch they. were all mad about. >> Oh, so I was with Jason on that one cuz. hands are inside. I mean hands are hands. hands are inside. The guy turned.

sideways and what is he? He's still got. good form. I mean he has good blocking. form. They're never going to call that. Never going to call that. >> There was one in the Lions game where. Saints fans were very upset and I kind. of agree with them on this one. >> All right. Well, let's not let's not. have this happen this year. Was that the. intent fumble that Foxy? >> Oh, yeah. The. >> Oh, that was Yeah, >> he tended to throw it forward. >> Yeah, I don't think I fully get this. one. >> I don't either. >> Rules are rules. >> Oh, >> yeah. >> I didn't see that. >> Oh, yeah. So, he intended to throw the.

ball forward and the forward motion of. his arm did start. So, >> wow. >> Intent in his intentions were to throw. the ball forward. instead because he was. blasted so hard by Chase, the ball went. backwards, which in any other time of. football would be live ball. So I guess. the rules is though that just because. Goff thought about throwing it forward, that shit's that's just incomplete pass. >> First time I heard that one.

>> Jack Fox hit a I don't know 80 yard punt. after this to flip the field. >> Oh, what a stud. >> On third down. >> He's a monster. >> Yeah, >> the saw punt god last night. had some. beautiful ones. Uh the Denver Broncos, it was really windy. >> I mean, it was really really windy in. there. >> That That was one of those days standing. there. >> just feeling that [ __ ] Thank god I. don't have to deal with this. My entire. life is dependent upon this wind not. completely [ __ ] me here. I only got.

17 of these games, okay? My entire. career is on just from this one. and you. walk out there. just full on the drop is going to be. insane. If it gets in the air, there's a. chance that [ __ ] just gets spit right. back down. Guys did a great job last. night. But it it was another reminder. I actually told Will Lutz, "Good luck, bro. Little breezy, huh? It's going to. be a good one." And he goes, "Why? Why. are you pointing that out?" It is, man. I watched Bucker miss three, four.

straight from like 55 plus warming up. just completely going off to the side. I'm like, damn. Like, this is a real. problem. And then I felt really good. about our ground and pound boost. >> Yeah. >> Yes. >> I didn't know Harvey was getting so many. touches. >> Harvey is electric. We should have done. a little research, I guess, that he was. going to be getting the ball a lot. He. was explosive. >> Yeah. Got juice. >> He didn't score though either, so. >> no. Great returns though. He was really.

good for their special teams. >> Yeah, >> JK Dobbins didn't score either. >> No, >> we love JK. >> Would have been nice to hit a plus 600. AJ would have been nice to hit a plus. 600 on the folks here. You know, first. Monday Night Football. >> First one should have hit. >> All right, if this goes in, should I hit. the next one? >> Okay. Okay. >> It's not world peace and intent to hit. it. >> IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON, AJ. I am for no. cause. I am for no cause foreign or domestic.

other than football. >> Yep. >> Okay. >> Dad needs to get his dober up. >> They are bummed out over there. >> Yeah. Bombed out. >> It's over. >> Chargers. >> They got dine dobbers over there. You. bailed on them anyways. >> Sorry. >> Dicks are in the dirt. >> I do up. >> You got four teams potentially get your. dober going. >> You're kind of getting. 40. >> dobber from all angles. >> Yeah. What were we talking about with. rap? You know, he went right on the big. day with Big Shrekes there.

>> Yeah, he looked awesome. >> Do you think they talked to him about. seven, eight minutes about him smoking. meats? >> Why Why isn't anybody talking about that. opportunity? >> This guy is a meat smoker. >> Like a meat smoker's meat smoker. >> He is. >> Mhm. >> All right. If this goes in, we're. hitting our next boost. >> Sweet. >> When's that coming? Thursday. >> H. >> probably. >> Oh, yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Who's playing? >> Yeah. >> Lions, Bills, lots of. >> How we going? Points. point. >> Touchdown party. Oh, yeah. Josh Allen. I'm. >> There's a chance we're going to have. boots on the ground up there, too.

>> Gibbs. >> Could be you. >> Mhm. Possibly you. >> Well, Gumpy. Yeah, actually. >> We got a Bills fan in the house. >> Mitch. >> Yeah, we don't we don't necessar. >> Buffalo Bone. >> Unfortunately, I do fear uh everybody's. going to be looked at as bone if it's. not you. That's very true. >> But it's not about the people there, though. It's about just showcasing. what's happening. Yeah. You know, >> sure. >> Which Bone can do. >> There's going to be a lot. >> Can he?

>> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. >> Fish eye. Is that what you're talking. about? You're using a [ __ ] iPad. camera. >> Can you imagine though? Bone goes out. there, tailgates, does an elbow drop off. the top of an RV onto a table. >> with the mustard ketchup, man. >> Now we're talking. >> off the top of the bison, the baby one. >> That that works too. >> He can't get on it actually cuz maybe. >> same size like crumbling down. >> What do you mean? Is it going to fall. off? Are you worried about his safety? >> I'm worried. Yeah, I'm worried about all. parties there. Bison family included. >> Yeah. >> Standing on a roof of a car. >> Dents the car ends up in a driver's.

seat. >> It has to be a tank. >> B. You're doing good, buddy. >> Bono. >> He's walking to Mordor. >> He's looking good. >> He is looking better. >> He's looking good. >> Said he was down eight pounds in one of. his posts. >> Mhm. >> That's awesome. I like that. >> I love the facial hair decision. >> I didn't I didn't get to see that. yesterday. >> What? you seeing him for the first time. >> It was awesome. It was awesome. It was. one of my favorite moments of the last. six months. >> I I told people specifically, I need.

candid camera up in there when Tai walks. in. I need microphone on. I need to just. I need to see first reaction and I don't. need you guys know I don't need Tai. knowing never recording it just because. that was a a very aggressive decision. with something that is very seen which. is a face by Debbone and uh I I I. imagine that you were going to. compliment him pretty good. >> I did. Yeah. >> Kid looks like a movie star.

>> All right, let's go. >> I don't know if that's what was being. said. >> What are you talking about? You weren't. here. >> That's what he said. How you how did we. miss the recording of this situation? I. don't think I've never put a request in. like this when I'm on the road. Thought. ahead night before. I'm like, "Oh my. [ __ ] god, I can't believe I'm going. to miss that." Like, I was very, very. bummed out. So, I call old faithful. Foxy. Foxy, I need GoPro in the corner. I need a [ __ ] even use the PTZ. Need. the handheld microphone on the desk.

We'll just figure it out. I need to see. Tai walking in. >> What the [ __ ] is that? >> I need I absolutely I had it ready to go. and I was like anticipating it and it. was going to be the best part of my. entire morning. Ty didn't notice it cuz. Bone faces forward. Tai's behind him. So, it took like till about 10:30. So, the recording was over. Like that thing. was done with. And then Tai out of. nowhere. >> Uh he hit Bone pretty good with some. nice comments. WHAT' YOU DO?

>> IS THAT REALLY. >> I THINK I THINK his initial reaction was. >> Oh my god. See, I knew it. >> It's all right. >> Well, the best part was Bone said, "Last. time I shaved just a mustache and you. told me never to do that again." So, >> kids always got something, don't he? Always got something over there. He made. a great graphic about Michael Floor's. coaching uh history timeline. I don't know if it got sent in ever, but.

he made a great graphic that we find we. should show this. I mean, Bone really. batting a thousand this morning. Uh, this Mike Laflor graphic that he made. was certainly something we should have. shown at the time, but I don't know if. anybody got it. Hey, good. This is a. good graphic, B. >> Yeah, that's on me. >> The Laflur family says, "Thank you for. investing in his history." He was. awesome today. >> He seems like a real psycho. >> Yeah, I like him. >> Yeah, me too. I like him a lot. AJ, what. are your thoughts on old Mike Laflur? I. love Makam after coming on here and.

listening to him speak. Yeah, he um he's. very impressive. He he seems to be doing. all the right things. Even if they would. have lost that first game and he would. have came on or we would have seen him. in a situation like this and hearing him. speak, I think, yeah, all right, this. guy this guy gets it and he is. absolutely obsessed with football. >> Yeah. And he knows what it's like. We're. in a week toe business. Seattle Seahawks. can ruin everything here and people will. say that I should not have this job and. the Arizona Cardinal suck again. You. know, if this goes in, we're hitting the. next boost. >> Nice. Great graphic there, Bone. >> Bone, >> way to keep working towards more door,

>> bone, >> but just shaving your face like that was. >> Yeah. >> He showed up at that Colts game. >> Also thought he was going to a rock. concert. I don't know if he knew he was. going to a football game. >> I'm surprised Kenzie was able to stay in. the box. >> She was. Have you heard? >> No. >> She said, "I'll let everybody hotire. everybody but him.". >> Oh, no. Yeah, that makes sense. >> She loves the Halloween song, too. She. loves. >> It's not Frankenstein, huh?

>> He's getting there, though. Keep going, Bone. And I think we are good friends for. doing this. >> Yeah, I'm I'm pulling that, too. The. best. >> Not the way that you do. >> I don't know. Don't call Roio. >> I haven't seen someone eat [ __ ] like. this backto back days since. in a long time. No, but we need to Bone. needs to continue to be motivated to. continue to go to the door. >> We need to continue to motivate this guy.

>> cuz the way the path he's on, >> it's like we've seen movies about this. >> and I'm not going to say the name of the. TV show. >> Full Metal Jacket. >> No, not I know a movie tell. >> What's that one? >> No, I'm not Say it. Say what I saying. >> You talking about TV show? >> I know exactly which one you're thinking. about. No, I'm not talking about the. Goonies. It's a TV show. >> I know what TV show you're talking. >> They use a crane sometimes. >> Oh, that I wasn't thinking that, but he. was thinking that. It's not that either.

Jeez Louise. >> That's a compliment. Brendan Frraasier. won an Oscar for that. >> That's not the one. That's not the one I. was thinking. >> Okay, >> we are all on our f Hey, we're all on. our fitness journey here. Let's not. become fat asses this football season. Okay, all of us. AJ, you're the only. person that remains the exact same. seemingly. We got a long road ahead and. debut, you're right. Yeah. Sorry, Debb. >> Oh my god. >> We need to We need to not become slobs.

this year. Okay. We need to all hold. each other accountable. Debbone, we. expect you to hold us accountable in the. same fashion we hold you accountable. >> Is he still going to Mordor though? >> Mhm. >> Okay. >> Yeah, I saw him. He was walking to. Mordor yesterday. >> Okay. We like that. >> Nice. Hell yeah. >> Proud of you. phone needs a beard and. mustache. >> Mhm. >> For the time being, we learned. >> he'll come back. He'll come back soon. >> It's not just him. I can't shave. I none.

of us. Yeah. >> Yeah. But, you know, that's why you. don't see me [ __ ] coming in here. clean shaving all the time. >> Bun's Bun's learning as he goes. >> Yeah. He's a kid. He's a young kid. still. >> National champion, too. He's got inside. there. I I told him I said, "Hey, if it. means anything, come in here tomorrow. and get a permanent marker and [ __ ]. color beard.". >> All right, next boost is going to hit. Next boost is going to hit right now. If. this goes in, we are going to win. >> Oh, good throw.

>> Good ball. That was a good throw. >> All right. What's this one for? We're. doing a giveaway. >> A lot of giveaways. I was going to. >> say you just give a shitload of money in. Texas. You. >> got a lot of money in Texas. >> A lot of people say, "Hey, real nice. write off." Yeah. >> Yeah. Giving money to a college kid is a. write-off. >> That'd be cool if it was. >> Tax experts. >> What happened, by the way? Um, >> I was confused. You guys did another. kick in the stadium. >> Oh, yeah. So, Tito, like actual Tito for. Tito. >> Yeah. No, Tito's Vodka. >> Oh, Tito's.

>> He's a Texas alum. >> Austin. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He He's Texas alum in Austin. Uh, I guess he's a massive donor to Texas. saw the kick and I don't know 30 minutes. before game started because remember. time thing I didn't you know we almost. missed it. Matt Garrett uh from College. Game Day goes, "Hey, Tito wants to do a. million-dollar kick with uh Connor in. the first quarter. Sound good?" I was. like, "Is Tito is Tito alive?" And. they're like, "Oh, yeah. Tito's very. much alive." And Tito loves Texas. Saw.

what happened earlier. Wants to put up a. million dollar donation for Connor. He's. got two kicks. If he makes one, $500,000. to building tomorrow, 500,000 to Central. Texas Food Bank. Uh it'll be in a. timeout in the first quarter. And I was. like, "Yeah, sure. This is just wake up. I'm being told this. So, I get over to. the the uh little production room we had. in the beach volleyball locker room. >> Nice. Sick. >> Sick. They got a nasty big ping pong. table in there. And I go, "So, what's. going on?" They're like, "Tito wants to. give a million dollars." I'm like, "Is.

Tito going to be out there?" Like, "No, Glenn Pal's going to be out there." I'm. like, "Okay, Glenn Pal's going to be out. there. That's okay." So, it's me, Glenn. Pal, Connor, who else? We'll probably. have some content people with you. It'll. be the third timeout first quarter. I. go, "Okay, where am I going to stand?". They're like, "We'll come get you." Then. a guy named Drew who's from Texas Fueled. Ops. Great hair. This guy got a lot of. moxy. He goes Tito's going to give a. million dollars. He's also going to give. $250,000 if he misses both kicks. So. make sure you say that please. It's. love, Titos is the foundation. If you. could just kind of get that in there.

somewhere. I'm like, you got it. So then. we roll over the other side. Glenn Pal. and Miles Teller come down. So I was. with Top Gun. >> Yeah. >> Rooster and Hangman. >> Yeah. They were they were together. Yeah. They they were together. when they. come down the sideline, I'm like, "Miles, good to see him." He's filming right. now. Okay. So, I think we got something. sweet potentially coming from Miles. Teller, but he was watching a game of. Glenn. So, then Glenn and I are figuring. out what's going I'm like, "Are you. going to I think you should start, right? Don't you think?" And he goes, "Yeah, what is this?" And I go, "Good. question." Okay. So, we got Drew here. We're about to walk out. It's like I'd.

say 15 seconds away from third timeout, first quarter about to happen. And then. me and Glenn Pal figuring it out as we. go. Go out there. Perfection. Glenn Powz. are an absolute beauty, a pro. And then. Connor made it on the first kick, 35. yard. They backed it up to the 25. He. hit a fat ball this time, too. It went. through. I think this kid could actually. be a kicker if he practiced. He got real. pop. >> He hit that thing. >> Yeah. And this one, he hit fat and it. still went through from 35 yards. So. that that's like hitting a terrible kick.

and it got first try in the stadium. Obviously, they showed the video. I. think this kid could actually do it. I I. I. >> at Texas. I don't know about at Texas. kid in America. >> I think they got a kicker at Texas. I. think they have a good kicker, but he. went to ParkTutor High School here in. Indiana. He was um Indianapolis. He was. soccer player, free kick taker for the. soccer team though. So like I found they. tagged him in an Instagram post. I go to. his Instagram, one of his photos is him. about to line up for a free kick and I. go, "This [ __ ] guy, this guy's a ball.

striker. Like this guy's an actual ball. striker." And it was obvious. I was so. happy for him. How about before it even. goes, I'd like to donate half of this. thing. That was cool. Sweet. >> Yeah, it was awesome. >> He was very nice. >> Yeah, he was very kind. I He I mean, I. tried to tell him too. I thought he was. a righty. So, I told him, "Hey, you're going to. aim at that right post and then it's. going to come back because you're a. soccer player, right?" He goes, "Yeah.". I go, "Aim at the right post." So, then. as Matthew McConna is talking, I'm. learning he's a lefty alive in real. time. And I want to tell him like,

>> "Aim at the other upright." And then. Matthew McC we're going to hit this. south pole with the draw. We're going to. be aiming at the left post. And I'm. thinking to myself, Conor Connor knows. that I was talking. >> about the left one in real time. Then he. pulls that thing. >> Mhm. >> And I go, that's maybe why the second. one happened because I'm like, it's. [ __ ] this could have been my fault. >> Him with that second kick. >> I mean, it was like. >> absolute pure Yeah. barefoot pure end. overend kick. 1.2 mill. You got Matthew.

McConna chirping in your ear. I mean, it's this kid might have it actually. Something to think about. I think he. loves his time down in Texas. He has. like a really serious degree he's about. to get. But AJ, I love this guy stepping. up in a big way. It was expensive. obviously, especially with Dan Landing. hitting for the crossbar. $500,000. there. But I love that he made the kick. I think it was a uh a beautiful moment. to kick off the kicking is easy contest. for the year. >> No, he looked like he got that ball up. and out quick. I mean, I I know I told. you I had some some people that have.

some prominent positions in colleges, universities around the the country that. were texting me saying they need this. kid's number to possibly come kick for. their team. >> Yeah. I And obviously that's kind of set. in Jess, but not really. Like if if you. can make this kick, we assume you could. probably make some kicks that matter. Obviously, college kids aren't going to. be perfect ever at any position as they. try to develop and go through life and. handling different situations and not. just kicking position, but literally. every single position. But this kid had. a great start and obviously he's getting.

a lot of money donated and a lot of. money tip. So that's over uh so $600,000. to building tomorrow. >> which is an Indianapolis foundation that. does schools I believe in Africa and. then there's another 500 500,000 coming. from Tito. So that's 1.1 million to. building tomorrow and then 500,000 to. the Central Texas Food Bank and then. 500,000 to the Dan Lanning. >> oh cancer. >> 550,000 to the Sumay.

>> there's there's a there's a name I think. it's Sue. >> it was. >> oh we tweeted it anyways to a cancer. foundation it's like over $2 million in. donations from one Saturday morning Sam. day Sorry. Sam Day Foundation for Cancer. Research out there. It's like that was a. hell of a Saturday. >> Yes, it was. >> That was an awesome Saturday. Super. positive. It did feel like the football. gods were telling me Texas. You know, >> I was shocked.

>> that I pick Texas. >> Yeah, >> I know. I I put this tweet out that I. was 100% picking Ohio State. And some. people go, "Would you put this out if. they didn't win?" It's like, "Yeah, I. would have cuz my entire thing is the. North, brother." Like, that is uh kind. of all I have. But that morning, it just. felt like it felt like a special. It. really did. It felt like a pretty. special day down there. Hot as [ __ ] but. it felt like it was uh it was the turn. of something special. Now, granted, Ohio. State certainly early there looked like. they were about to just [ __ ] all of. that. >> First three quarters. >> How do you guys feel over there? How's.

Ohio State people reacting to what. happened down there in Texas? >> Uh, you know, they're not uh not too. pumped, but I think they still know like. long season. Let's let's make sure we're. playing our best ball at the end of the. year. >> Where did AP put in the ranking after. losing to Texas? six, I think. >> See, I think I think that's uh. >> All right. >> Yeah. I mean, obviously, does it say. 1-1? I think. >> Yes, it did. >> Foxy. >> Judas. used to be one. >> Now, now the first one of the next five.

>> Yeah. Yes. One of the second. >> the first one of the second. >> tier five, >> right? >> Which, you know, obviously makes sense. >> Makes sense. None of those rankings. matter except for the above average. poll. Happy that made a return today. Okay, if this goes in, we're going to. hit our next boost. Okay. >> Okay, we go. Nice. First time. >> Maybe like plus 150. >> Maybe all the boosts. >> just for the rest of the season. >> Yeah,

that's a lot of boosts, I think. >> Yeah. >> I mean, we're kind of We've done a lot. already. >> Mhm. >> Not a lot of games have happened really. We've. >> four and two. Let's go, lads. This is. for all of them. >> Mhm. >> All the marbles. >> All of them. >> Mhm. >> Sorry, boys. >> Let's get out of here. >> Nobody's perfect. >> That's right. >> Let's get out of here. Be a friend. Tell. a friend something nice. It might change. your life. We're in this thing together. I'm so sorry. I had a memorate there for.

all of our future selves. >> All of our future selves could have just. been kind of just casual and just free. and easy. But instead, we're gonna have. to sweat it out every [ __ ] time, aren't we? >> You try it again tomorrow. >> That's true. >> Doing a boost tonight. >> I don't know what the rules are, but it. feels like there aren't any. Think you. probably try it again tomorrow. >> Oh, it's college sports. >> pretty much. We should probably Nope. >> Nope. >> I was pretty happy that I wasn't a part. of that sector. >> Yep. That's.

>> I was like, that's go on the record. I. was pretty pumped not to be over there. because boy. >> that was that was. >> I think it really did. >> was it 45 minutes or did it just feel. like 45 minutes? >> It was a thousand degrees in there I. will say. And you had me Dez and Kirk up. on the set just huffing the air. conditioning underneath the stairs or. underneath the desk just like well I. don't know if this message is landing. I don't know man. I don't know if. they're hearing it you know. I don't.

know. I don't know. People are not. happy. You know, from my understanding, and we're learning this in real time. I. think we're pretty young in our careers. here. I think we're pretty young in this. entirety. So, there's a lot of learning. lessons to be had. But anytime, no matter what your intent. is, no matter what it is, your intent. could be pretty pure. Your intent could. be probably very um reasonably explained. what your intent is. Anytime a.

politician gets involved, we're learning this. We have learned. this. You're just immediately every. decision that this person has ever made. ever in the history of everything. Oh, is that right? Uh, you want future. generations to have a dream and a goal. for fitness aspirations and the head of. Disney, the head of ABC and the head of. ESPN are all here and the government. wants to get behind it and have a. presidential fitness test and maybe make. this something special. You obviously. give away $1.2 million for a kick on a.

Saturday. You don't think maybe a future. fitness test for like the next 20 years, 30 years would be something that I'd be. very inspired to do for the next. generation to be fitness and win a bunch. of money and have goals and aspirations. to stay in shape and do that thing. You. know that that was my intention. Okay. Like that that was that was what I was. thinking. Honored to even be like I mean. you got a lot of Disney ABC ESPN Gumpy. myself. Okay. So like that was in my head what I.

was doing. Lo and behold though, every decision that was made by. President Trump because I that was my. intention I agree with. I guess is. everything that he has ever done in his. entire life and this entire thing and. that is not how a majority of people. feel but it is a significant portion of. our society at this stage in 2026 where. if you just if you have an idea of what. this is for even and and I will say I.

was pretty uh oblivious to the reality. of the situation in this because once. again what I thought I was doing verse. what everybody ended up telling me I was. doing is just so vastly. But I think that is something that is. just very real. And I believe, I'm not. 100% sure, but I believe everybody on. college game day was like, "This isn't. really, you know, what it should be.". >> Uh, but I don't think everybody fully. understood just how how bad it was going. to go in real time, you know, especially.

with how hot it was. But that's the. reality of the business like in we have. learned that. >> and that has been a lesson that has been. very loud and will continue to be loud. because in the politics world they the. politic uh pundit and the politic. accounts on the internet and the polit. political people you know it's life or. death every single decision that has. been made for them which is I understand. because politics has actual sway on how. people's lives are going to go so that's. how they act. So there's no like hey we. we think the protect college sports act.

would be good for college sports as a. whole. There's a what a 60 commissioner. Everybody that is in the sport and. around the world of college sports likes. this. So we would like this to be. something that is topical and maybe get. a vote done so that the future of all. college sports is in a much better place. in a safer space. But what ends up. happening is what did Ted Cruz vote for. on this? Is this what you're This is. what you're This is what you're This is. what you're This is what you're And it's. like I don't know if anybody's even. hearing what he's saying. I think.

they're just thinking the things that. he's done in the past and immediately. saying this is what it is. And that's. what 2026 is. I think that's a world. that we're in. And uh yeah, I think. everybody's kind of just kind of. learning and experiencing as we go here. what it's like. But boy, those polit. political people, they get really mad. really quick. >> Oh, yeah. >> And I'm like, all right, I'll get to you. cuz we're just trying to do sports over. here. But then you bring a politician in and. it's like well now you now you're.

associated to everything that that. person's done. And I don't think I fully. understood that until that is really. what is now. Yeah. >> You know cuz I've learned a lot about. myself and how I feel about things from. >> a large portion of people telling me. that. I'm like what the [ __ ] man? I. wanted to aggro crack, bro. I just. wanted to [ __ ] aggro crack for these. kids. That that's what I that's what I. wanted, man. You know, and it's like no, that isn't what you wanted. That is not. what you wanted. Let me tell you what. you actually wanted. And then it's like, you're the worst person of all [ __ ].

time because of I'm like, "All right, I just wanted kids not to be. fat. So, uh, we will take that into consideration. going forward and hopefully this will be. something that ends up working out long. term. But you guys are having a. politician on." Yeah, I'd like to not be. uh I'd like to not be near that because. I don't have enough time to go through. everything this [ __ ] guys voted for. and uh that's that's just on me not. being able to do that. I got you know we. got a lot of football going on. So I.

wasn't the only one that was like I. don't want to be Can you not have I what. would I add? Dad awesome. Get me the [ __ ] out of here. Reese I. think handled that about as good as you. know. But it wasn't like game day was. like hey we should do this. That needs. to be said like game day wasn't like hey. we would like to do this that was. something that was. pretty chaotic situation I would say the. night before I I would say Gumpy is that. how you would describe it as it was kind. of rolled into discussion.

>> Yeah it was quite a turn of events at a. nice dinner we were having uh ended. pretty abruptly there. >> Yeah it was a nice it was a nice. production dinner happening. I loved it. getting around everybody. It's great to. see everybody. It's fun. You know, we. obviously Matt Garrett sitting in the. chair now cutting, which is huge for all. parties because how awesome he is. And. we walk in there and he's just sweating. It's like, you all right, buddy? This is. good setup, dude. You got a good food in. here. We We all have to figure something out. here. And I'm like, oh yes. And then you. kind of wait for everybody to come in.

and then all of a sudden it's okay. So, this is what has happened. And then all. of a sudden, you got ideas from. everywhere and it's like, oh yeah, I. like this. And where we landed was You. know, Ree is a journalist. Ree countered. a couple times in his questions, but not. enough to the counter's liking. So, I. believe there is now NAACP. president coming on to ESPN today or. tomorrow to kind of showcase what that. is because that's a whole another angle. that then gets started. It's like, okay,

you got to be a So, what I'm going to. say, uh, from this moment forward, I am. going to be as. vigilant as possible to stay the [ __ ]. away from all of that because, uh, unless we do it all, but whenever it. comes to that aggro crack in the future, I am going to have to make that happen. Yeah. >> Because of what everybody said to me. about this entire thing. So, that is. goal going forward. That little Midas. >> will have an opportunity to potentially. win like a million dollars because he's. an absolute beast. Now granted, we hope.

that is with any administration. going forward, >> but in real time with where we're. starting, obviously people don't know if. that's the case. And there's a lot of. people talking about what our. demographic is and who our demographic. is. >> I don't think you [ __ ] know. I I. don't think you have any idea what our. demo is because we literally just try to. be sports. >> and uh we haven't been perfect with. that. I think game day, if you had to go. back, a lot of people say, "Yeah, right. We should not even come close to that. But I do think we are all just trying.

Our intent is always like for the good. of sport, for the good of everything. But there's not a lot of people that. care about intention unless it's the. NFL. And Jared Goff is trying to throw. that. >> That's right. >> Well said. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice about change your life. Hell. >> yeah. >> We're in this thing together. >> I learned so much about me while they. were saying such mean things. >> I'm like, is that how I I don't [ __ ]. feel? Who said I said that? Then you got. those little fake quote counts like, "Hey, yeah, this [ __ ] guy does this. Did you hear what he said about this?".

It's like, "I never said who the [ __ ]. said that.". Can somebody community note this thing? No, they actually don't have that on. this platform. Okay. So, how many people. saw that? Five, six million. Is anybody. going to tell them not that that's not. real? >> Good luck out there, man. >> Okay. Let's just not do that again. And. that's kind of where we're living. >> Yep. Football. >> Football. >> Football. Football. >> Football. >> And other sports if they're doing the. cool [ __ ]. >> That's right. Mostly football. >> Football.

>> Baseball is cool. >> Yeah. Baseball is going to be good come. playoffs, but football. >> and there's basketball. Obviously, we. love. >> bagu and finals around here. >> Football. >> We won the World Cup. >> What? >> Basketball. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. I was soccer. That's. never going to happen. >> No, we're [ __ ] done with World Cup. soccer. >> Yeah. For. >> I'm not even I'm not Next World Cup. We're not even talking about one time. Gavin Sullivan's cooking. He might be. the one. Did. >> you see him? He's 18 years old. He's on. a one-way trip out of the MLS cuz they. negotiated. He. >> better be. >> cuz MLS better be. I don't give a [ __ ].

about a kid who's the next wonder kidin. playing in the MLS. >> Leo Messi. >> He's [ __ ] 40 and he's the best player. in the league by a long shot. Get this. kid to the Premier League and then. perform over there and then we can get. excited. >> He's really good. He had two goals the. other night. Back heel. >> for the Union. Who are they playing? The. [ __ ] Montreal Quebecs. >> San Diego Padres's. Oh, there we go. >> That's not their name. The Padres's are. a baseball team.

>> That's South Dakota. >> That's San Diego. >> I don't think South San Diego have an. MLS team. They're two years in. They're. pretty high Flyers. >> Yeah, they are high. >> That's their name. Jesus. >> What? [ __ ] break. This league sucks. >> Yeah. No [ __ ] We've known this. >> I know we have. >> Okay. This league sucks. Done with it. We got Methy. >> I know. We have Methy.
