Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode the thunder dome on. this BA day September 16th 2025. This. program begins now. >> Football is magical. We're so incredibly. lucky that we get a chance to chat about. it every single day. A lot of football. conversation after the two-piece last. night. That's all the Bucks beat the.

Texans. Congratulations to the. Buccaneers down there in Tampa Bay. also. thought the Texans had it. Then Baker. Mayfield starts cooking in the kitchen. and all of a sudden Baker Baker the. touchdown maker does just that and they. steal a dub. Congratulations to them on. the road and also road team Chargers go. into Las Vegas get a massive win. We got. Derwin James joining us fresh off the. massive dub here in about 15 minutes or. so and potentially the touchdown maker. down there in Tampa Bay if we can get a. hold. Nonetheless, we will chitchat. about the greatness from last night that.

went late into the evening and also all. the storylines now that come out of this. past weekend of ball. We're just at the. beginning of the season, but we're. already starting to rule some teams out, aren't we? >> Yeah, that's right. >> We're already starting to crown some. teams, aren't we? >> And maybe we're starting to learn about. some teams like maybe this Chargers. team's for real. >> Yeah. >> And maybe this Buccaneers team has. something a little bit inside of that. chest that they got there that might be. able to propel them to some magical. seasons and moments once again down. there in the beautiful Tampa Bay City. We're incredibly lucky today. It's not. just the talks table at Boston, Connor.

and at Ty Schmidt. Backtoback days with. the jacket. How do we feel about it? Uh, Ty Schmidt. >> Uh, you know, I I probably wouldn't. have, but listen, I love the Nor Easter. You know, I if I know Connor, he's going. to wear this probably every day for the. next month, so we might as well just get. used to it. >> Okay, so this is just you right now. >> Oh, look. I I'm I'm not going to change. the recipe up. I know that Patriots won. I had my Nike rivalries jersey on. Do I. want the Patriots keep winning? Yeah. So. the the right now the sample sizes NFL. Nikes rivalry gear not that poopy.

Shout out to the Avatars. >> The Harley one Opals Opals the Avatars. These are very comfortable. They make me. look taller. I'm a little bit more. athletic. Feel pretty sprying. >> Oh yeah. >> Like a jungle cat. Like a puma. You know. what I And I would like to say Puma's. paid me zero dollars. Would certainly. wear other company shoes on a regular. basis. With that being said, the Halley.

Ones are awesome. >> Yeah. And I'm glad. >> Caitlyn's got shoes. >> Yeah. >> Hal's got shoes. >> Don't look now. Indianapolis about to. become the shoe epicenter of the world. Baby, these are nice. >> They are. >> These are nice. Pat, would you ever wear. Pumas? >> People would ask. >> Sure. >> Maybe a week ago. >> Sure. >> Say absolutely not. What are we talking. about? Puma. I don't think so. >> What do I That's what I would have said. >> I get that. Yeah. >> Okay. That's what I would have said. though. What an ignorant statement that.

would have been cuz I had no idea. Boom. These are coming into the world. Look. how cool they look. They're really like. Pandora and Avatar. So, uh, shout out, too. >> Look at this guy, too. >> Look at them, >> man. >> At the mart. >> There's a lot of Halley things. >> Yeah, >> people put a lot of things at the end of. that. >> They do love it. Look, some threeletter. ones not great all the time. Not great. But all the other ones, halib balling, you know, the halam man with an M, you. know, like there's a lot of things that.

happen. Now we got the Halley ones. We. will support and they do feel great and. they are cool looking. >> With that being said, >> this jacket just can't be every single. day. I don't think this if for the whole. season, what if you guys are good? You. wear this all the way through the Super. Bowl. >> That that'd be wonderful. But don't. worry, there's other gear. And to your. point though, Adidas, >> we got some ideas. We got some love. Adidas. >> Yeah, we got some ideas for We got some. Adidas, if you will. Adidas. I mean, think about that.

>> The shows there shows there, you know, like run DMC. We would We love those. We. got a lot of ideas. >> Yeah. A lot of, you know, those lines. are pretty thick. What Why don't we. sleek them out? You know, everything. everything's sleek these days. Why don't. we make the lines a little thinner? I. don't know. We don't have to stick with. that one either. I'm sure you're pretty. uh pretty committed to the stripes. We. >> education company local. >> We do not. We are open to. >> multiple. >> Adidas is spending a lot of money with a. lot of football and a lot of sports. right now. And we'd like to say to. Adidas, thank you. We.

>> good brand. >> Great brand. >> Yep. >> That's nine your NFL event. He speaks. the truth. Great. >> Also, hey, we we don't mind the Halley. ones either. Obvious. one right now in the Thunderdome. You. know, me and Con couldn't get it done. against you boys yesterday, but they. felt great. We felt great. And what we. know about Halley is it's not over until. it's over. So, one game we're down 01. the series. >> Felt great in them. >> You guys lost very bad yesterday in your. >> That's what I'm saying. You felt You. felt great in them. >> I felt good.

>> Yeah. Well, you know, more like Opal, if. you will. >> Yeah. For you guys. Not for us, though. Foxy and I weren't wearing them at the. time, but we certainly got hot. That's. what uh the Opals do. They brought us. great vibes cuz he's a point guard, you. know, so he's spreading the love. everywhere. They're beautiful shoes. Debbuck, great to see you. And a man. who's joining us uh with another sick. angle hat. Uh a man who always looks. cooler than anybody else in the room. that he is in. 47 years he spent. coaching ball. 27 in the NFL, Super Bowl. champion, ladies and gentlemen, multiple. time Bruce Har. >> Coach, big night last night obviously.

for your Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I know. you've coached in a lot of places. Tampa. Bay currently home and your last stop. and won a Super Bowl as their head. coach. this Baker Mayfield guy special. It feels like the Buccaneers might be. bottling something down there. What were. your thoughts after watching the game. and uh how do you feel about the boys. down there in Buccaneers? >> Yeah, I I thought it was a hell of a. game, especially Baker just willed his. team to win this game. You know, when. you look around the league, you lose. both tackles. So, you got a center. playing left tackle and then you got. your backup playing right tackle and you. just win a you win a ball game running.

the ball. Uh great job by Josh Gazard. I. thought Cullen plays and and sticking to. the run and then Baker does what he. does. That's why he's a head coach. maker. >> Okay, he is the head coach maker. Uh. Liam Cohen uh gets a head coaching job. after working with Baker Mayfield. David. Canalis gets a head coaching job after. working with Baker Mayfield. And. obviously both those guys were credited. with turning around Baker Mayfield's. career, but maybe Baker, we're just. seeing what Baker is here. >> I think Baker might have turned their. careers around. >> Okay. >> Okay. Yeah, that's a fellow coach.

obviously, Bruce Arens, who understands. if you have good players, you can be a. damn good coach all of a sudden. Baker. Mayfield has been special. Let's go to. the two-minute drive last night. Deb. Butch, you're talking about everything. that is Baker Mayfield kind of. encapsulated in one moment, and it was a. game-winning moment for the entire. Buccaneers. >> Yeah, BA talked about it willing his. team to a victory. This now backto-back. week where Baker Mayfield has played his. best football down the stretch. We get. to the two-minute drive. Start, let's. start here in the fourth and 10. Texans. sent pressure up the middle. He. scrambles now. He was already banged up.

at this point in the game, but Scrambles. picked up a big huge first down to keep. it going and keep that clock ticking. right here. Not really in a big rush, but getting it done. Not burning. timeouts. Out route out route to Kadeton. to the right side of the field. He gets. out of bounds. Heads up play. Then buck. dump it off to Bucky Irving. This is. when you have talented backs. You get. the ball in their hands. Let him do. something special in space. Big time. play protecting the ball as well. And. now you get up right outside of that red. area. Then you know who he's looking for. down here. 13. Had a tough match up.

against Stingley most of the night. Found some space. Got a little dump off. down there. And once again inside 30. seconds. Still didn't call a timeout. We. got 14 seconds here. Boom. Quick little. out route here to Kadeton. He gets out. of bounds. And now you're getting up to. the ball with two timeouts left. 9. seconds. You probably get what, two, three plays here. Be a run. >> Oh, definitely. >> They hand it off to White and he gets it. in. Runs it down. Get that touchdown. So. big time drive. Complimentary football. I don't know in the defensive side of. the ball if they let Chub score, if that. was a no my situation, but he did score.

and then Baker got the ball and played. his best ball. >> Here's that Chub play you're referring. to where the Bucks are up 14-13. Know. that a field goal takes the lead for the. other team or a touchdown. A lot of. people that are connected with the Tampa. Bay Buccaneers, Bruce Arens included, and a lot of people connected with. defensive football are saying that. looked a little bit too easy for Chub. there. Was this potentially a no moss. situation for Tampa Bay knowing that the. field goal would take the lead and they. could possibly drain out the rest of the. clock and Tampa Bay down one late in the. fourth would never get the ball back. That is a situation where you would call.

no Moss. >> Definitely. And uh I can't swear to it, but it sure looked like it. >> No Moss means we're not trying. We'll. let the other team score a touchdown so. we get the ball back and an opportunity. to drive down the field and do exactly. what they just did. That would be. executing that perfectly if that was. what the call was. >> It would be that would be smart. Uh. something we you don't do it too too. often. It was probably something that. happened maybe once or twice in my. career. I forget which boxer kind of. made it uh popular and that's the that's. why we use the term no moss but you get. the ball to your quarterback to your big. time quarterback and he drives once. again backtoback weeks. He did the same.

thing against the Falcons. Didn't start. off great. And this Texas you mentioned. we had a a center you said playing left. tackle. >> Denil Hunter's over there. >> Yeah, you got Denil Hunter. You got Will. Anderson. I think he had eight or nine. pressure. So this is a tough tough. defense. So, for you to get in a. situation where you know it's going to. be it's going to be a a must passing. situation in a two-minute drive and for. Baker to get the ball down there using. his legs too on that fourth and 10 that. was huge. So, a big time ball from Baker. the touchdown maker. >> Roberto Don vers Sugar Ray Leonard the.

second. Uh I guess that is called the no. Moss fight. His professional boxing. match on November 25th, 1980 where Sugar. Leonard defeated Roberto Don by TKO in. the eighth round to regain the WC after. a tactical boxing match where Leonard. used his superior movement and skills to. outbox the aggressive Don. Don quit in. the eighth round famously uttering no. moss. This shocking turn of events. tarnished Don's reputation while. Leonard's victory was a triumphant. return to form. >> Hell yeah. >> Congratulations to Sugar Raal Ashim. That was Homer Simpson too, wasn't he? Uh. >> yeah, I I believe so.

>> Yeah, that was Homer Simpson's entire uh. entire thing like we're just going to. wear him out here. Let him go ahead and. tire himself out. No Moss, no Moss. If. they called that in that moment, week. two, that'd be very heads up football. >> It's insane. >> And also the guy selling it running is. that would be there would be a lot to. that if they called it. >> Yeah, big big if. >> But it worked out well. Then let's go to. the second game. Uh obviously the second. game late night 10 p.m. start after a. thriller. >> Okay. emotional high there after the the. Baker Mayfield drive with Tampa.

Buccaneers. Holy hell, did you bet the. Texans? Yeah. >> Did you lose right there? >> Yeah. In the final 10 seconds. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All that happens and. then you're kind of And then oh yeah, I. forgot now. We got Justin Herbert and. his Chargers team that might be. >> might be for real. Oh yeah. here in. Harbaugh's second year and almost having. the culture kind of plugged in place and. Justin Herbert last year. Are we seeing. the best Justin Herbert of all time this. year? Sure feels like it here two weeks. in and he's doing Hollywood.

>> He's going famous lady. >> I mean Justin Herbert's fully blossoming. into everything that everybody thought. in the best possible ways as the face of. this new team in this new city. He is. dominant has been and seems like will be. for this entire season. And then. Harbaugh's entire culture kind of. settled in especially on the defensive. side of LA Debb. >> Yeah. He came over from uh after he won. that national championship in Miss. Michigan kept his defensive coordinator. Jesse Mentor. And since he since coming. over, we went out to LA and talked to. him. He was like, I don't know how long.

I'm going to have this guy. He'll. probably be a head coach soon. And you. look at this Chargers defense, not a lot. of household names. >> That's first play. >> Yep. Yeah. Gino, he he was in hell all. night long, but not a lot of household. names. You got Khil Mack, you got Derwin. James. Outside of that, not a lot of. guys that just casual fans would know, but they're always on the same page. And. it looked like everything was tough for. the Raiders. Every time he never got. comfortable in the in the pocket, Gino, he was looking for checkowns early. And. anytime somebody touched the ball, it.

was just a bunch of white jerseys flying. around getting people down. 15, I. believe over 15 pass defense, passes, defended, however you want to say it. This team did three takeaways. And. Derwin James, you saw one of them up the. middle. He batted the ball down. Can't. wait to talk to him because he's kind of. a chess piece that you can move all. around the field. He can rush the. passer. He can cover tight ends. Had a. Brock Bowers. He was matched up with him. a ton last night. He just does. everything for that defense. Kind of the. heartbeat of him. John uh Harbaugh said. a lot about him. Just he kind of speaks.

about him the way he speaks about uh his. quarterback Justin Herbert. So just a. great team, a great culture they have. right down in LA. >> Coach Harbaugh loves physical football. I think he loves the fact that they have. a great defense. But let's talk about. Justin Herbert, coach BA. Now, he tall, fast, handsome, humble, loves ball. I've. told the story before. When we went out. to Oregon for college game day, I got a. chance to meet his dad. And his dad was. telling a story about how much him and. his brothers loved ball. They actually. had to tape uprights onto the wall in. the living room because they would play. tackle football in the living room and.

they would want to kick the extra point. So now Justin Herbert, you see tape from. training camps where he's kicking field. goals. I guess he just loves he can punt. too. He can kick. loves ball like since. he was a kid obsessed with the sport. He's seemingly coming into his own with. a coach that seems to be the perfect yan. to his yin. Do you agree with that? >> Oh, totally. Yeah. When they put that. running game with him and and John, you. know, Jim Harbaugh and in the running. game, that's that's hand in hand, you. know, and uh but now he's got. everything. He's got Keenan Allen back.

He's got the young receiver from TCU. doing a great job. >> uh catching everything this year, >> protecting him. I've always loved him. coming out. got all the size. He's got. every measurable possible and he's got. the great mind that goes with it. >> How come it, you know, it felt like for. the first how many years here of his. career? Four. >> Yeah, >> I guess four years of his career, everybody said Herbert's good. Herbert's. good. But they never really won. anything. Is that just strictly because. everybody with their eyes knew he could. be a guy if he was given the right. opportunity? >> Yeah. And you're not going to win too. many games throwing it 50 times a game.

You know, now they got great balance. Um. they got that hard ball toughness about. them and uh I think this Charger team. for real. >> Yeah, I think we all think that. especially here after the first two. weeks and boy, >> good for that Chargers faithful. >> Those fans are very loyal. >> Love my squad, man. >> They love their team. >> Love my squad, man. Bow up, baby. >> Bow up. >> My squad. >> Hell yeah. We've been through it, man. We've been waiting and here we are. >> You guys have been through it. City. change.

>> You guys were in an MLS stadium for a. while. Right. Remember people were. saying to your team, "You guys are an. away game at home games because your. fans don't show up and your fans hate. your team." It was obviously the LA Rams. win the Super Bowl in Los Angeles, the. same city you're trying to go in. It's. like, man, those are hard days. Had a. couple coaches make some bad bad. decisions and critical moments. Bad. >> I just CBS and did a game of Stub Hub. against the Niners. It was all red. >> Yeah, exactly. >> It was bad days.

We're pulling up the StubHub for for an. NFL game. I'm like, where the hell are. we? >> Bad days, brother. Everything he's. saying. Bad days. >> Maryanne Do was there, though. She She's. been. >> You don't You don't go back to San. Diego, D, bud. Don't Don't do that. You. started in LA. And you know, >> actually, you know what? I was born. abroad. I was born in Germany. The first. city that I lived in was actually San. Diego. >> Of course. Finally, default has come home. >> to Southern California. So, uh, yeah,

the Chargers faithful, which you have. been one over the last few years. You. picked them to go to the Super Bowl a. few years back. That's because you had. so much faith and I think in hope in. Justin Herbert, the player, uh, from. everything that he just mentioned there. Now, the team around him seems like it's. a thing. >> Yeah. I mean, it it's all. >> kicker. The best kicker to ever start. 100 kicks. First 100 kicks in the NFL. best there's ever been. I thought. Brandon Aubrey had to be the greatest. And then literally that night they're. like, "Nah, actually this guy's the best. there's ever been." 94 out of 100 or. something like that. It's insane. All.

facets of their game, strong, all of. them seemingly tough and all of them. humble. It It's a crazy. And they got a. brand new practice facility. It's like. they're doing it right out there. It's. got to feel good to be a Chargers fan. >> You talked about that facility. We. always say it starts from the top down. Winning starts from the top down from. the organizational level. They're. obviously investing in the team, giving. them all the things they want. And then. that culture, you have a guy like Jim. Harbaugh come in and then to be able to. to adjust because a lot of people expect. and you talked about it, you know, and. I'm sure they will get back to more of. the running game with Greg Roman, but.

it's been more of an open offense. They. let Justin Herbert doing a little more. Johnson stepping up being big in the. passing game. Lad Munki, he'll he'll. continue to be the dog. And then uh. Kenan Allen coming back and still. getting it done. And then that offensive. line, Joe Al, that draft pick. I think. we'll look back at this draft pick and. he'll be one of the probably all-time. greats at that tackle position. You're. seeing the best come out of Justin. Herbert. Not only the fantastic throws. and the big time 300 yard games, but now. putting your team in position to win. games. Had a little fumble there late,

got a little ugly with Max Crosby. wreaking havoc in the back field, but. closing out games and actually getting. wins uh has been big for them. >> Max Crosby is incredible to watch. We. put you can put the Raiders on prime. time anytime strictly so we can watch. their defense more specifically. Yeah, Max Crosby, speaking of defense last. night, the Chargers defense was a big. story line. Three turnovers obviously is. huge, but also if they are just going to. play that way, forget Justin Herbert, they can win games themselves. It feels. like on the defensive side and there's a. dude who's a monster on that side of the. ball, con man.

>> Yeah, ridiculous. Derwin James. I mean, it's very similar to the Packers and. Michael Parsons. Like the Packers fight. of the ball, we talked about it. They. were on prime time. just like what the. Chargers do. And it starts with Derwin. James last night. Third uh down and he's. covering Brock Bowers right before this. play. Now he's rushing the passer on the. left guard. Basically exhausted. He. covered Brock Bowers. He's run 60 yards. down the field and now he's chasing Gino. Smith after a big smelly old lineman had. his paws all over him. Obviously. incomplete. Uh that's the game. You.

know, once the Chargers get the ball. back, they get a couple first downs. But. Derwin James running all over the place. gets it done. He goes to the sideline. and he's in hell. Okay, he's down on the. ground and then he pops up. Huge smile. And then they cut to Gino Smith and Gino. Smith is in space. He He's basically in. the worst mood he's ever been. He threw. 364 against New England last week. Everyone's talking about real hoopers. and Gino. And then he runs into Derwin. James and Jesse Mter in that defense. And Gino and the Raiders are going to be. great, but the Chargers defense, it is.

ridiculous what they do. And he never. came off the field. It's like it feels. like sometimes you go to the box score. and you're expecting, you know, 12. tackles. And when you only see seven. from Derwin James, you're like, "Oh, maybe he didn't have a good game." But. then you see plays like that. Then you. see the. >> Oh, he's playing DTackle. >> Exactly. Yeah. He's playing outside. He's playing outside rusher. He's also. in the middle of the field on the play. DeBuck just showed deflecting a pass to. get intercepted. He would have had. another interception in the red zone on. Gino, but his defensive lineman.

deflected the ball after he uncut the. ride. It was just incredible to watch. him work like. >> uh joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is one of the inaugural members of the. all everything DB team. >> Wow. >> Ladies and gentlemen, from Florida. State, an absolute stallion last night. all over the field, literally and. figuratively playing DTackle, Derwin. James. What's up? What's up? What's up? What's. up? What's up, y'all? >> Hey, I know you just had to listen to. Connor say all that. Uh, but I I'm happy.

you got a chance to do that. That's how. we feel watching you play ball, man. It. feels like whenever Harbaugh gets there. and Mentor gets there as the DC and the. way Coach Harbaugh spoke about you being. one of the pillars of the team. immediately upon arrival, does it feel. like a perfect culture for you to be in? And does it feel like the best culture. you guys have had over there in a long. time? >> Uh, yes sir. Uh definitely one of the. best coaches we had. Uh just the way. they go about it every day. Coach. Harball, Coach Mentor. Uh just setting.

that standard and uh man uh wouldn't. rather have no other guys, man. They. they they truly the best, man. >> From running Brock Buyers, Don 60 70. yards to the DTackle uh play that we see. there at the end on fourth down to win. the game and then having to chase him. out of the pocket. Is there a level of. exhaustion that comes with your style of. play every play, every single position? like how do you even prepare for that in. the offseason and what has it been like. this year thus far playing everywhere on. the field?

>> Uh it's been a lot of fun. I feel like. coach Mentor uh like I said the best. defensive coach in this league. Uh does. a great job moving me around every week. and um not just moving me around where I. ain't doing my job, but moving me around. where I can do it at a high level. Like. you say, man, it was it's still early in. the season, man. We getting that cardio. up, man. So I I can't wait. I think we. had a 20 play drive this game, too. So. man, it it was a lot of fun, man. It was. a lot of fun, man. Yeah, we're have to. keep we're gonna have to keep working on. this. Debut has a question for you. >> Yeah, Darren, I was talking about it. earlier. Outside of yourself and.

probably Khil Mack, y'all are pro y'all. are easily the most known defenders, the. household names, but outside of you. guys, bunch of dogs. Tell me about these. other guys. Still, Henley, all these. heart like you guys just fly around and. inflict pain. What's What's the mindset. going into every week with this mental. defense? And then tell me a little bit. about your running mates. And I I I just. say I start with Deion Henley, man, in. that middle, man, with the green dot. My. brother, man, he he's special, man. Uh. had a flu game last night, man. I don't. even know how he played, but man, he.

gives us everything he got every week, every week, day in and day out. Uh. definitely, man, a Pro Bowl allpro. player, man. Um Tarheel another young. guy, man, making a lot of plays and like. you said, we got a lot of lot of guys. It don't really matter who step step out. there when coach mentor, honestly, man. Uh I feel like, man, the standard is the. standard. and uh whoever out there they. going to make plays. >> What is it about his system though? Like. cuz you guys like that. I mean that. jumps off tape how you fly around. I. think they less than three and a half.

yards per play last night. I think they. ran 58 plays total. Like what is it. about that defense and I guess to think. like that he come that he prepares you. guys for going into the game? I say, man, just getting hats around the ball. Honestly, running to the ball and then. when the ball in the air, you see two, three guys around the play. That's why. uh we making tips on the ball. Uh guys. popping it up, making plays and I feel. like coach is always adjusting, man. Coach is always one step ahead. And uh. man, he always preparing us. >> I feel like he's just on us as players. to go out there and just do our job.

>> We've been talking about Justin Herbert. The reason why Darius Butler is a fan of. your team, I believe, is not only. because of you, obviously, massive fan. of yours. I mean, the all everything DB. team was not easy to put together. >> The inaugural team, obviously, you're on. there. I know you probably found out. about this. You probably cried, had a. moment with the whole family. Congratulations. >> Ask me. I appreciate Appreciate the F. >> Hey, no, no problem. It was hard to. crack. People were I mean, people were. really advocating for other players as. well, including yourself. It was It was.

tough. A. >> lot of politics. I mean, a lot of politics, man. >> And Daud stuck to the film. He said, "I'm not worried about any of the. politician." People were offering him a. lot of stuff. >> Oh, yeah. Shoes. >> People are offering him up shoes. His ba. even saw it. He said, "No.". >> He said no. >> He said, "No, I don't want that." He had. to do it. But, uh, on that note, since. the beginning of this run in LA, Justin. Herbert has been a guy that we've all. seen, I think, the potential and like. the possibilities from outside looking.

in. Just the way he handles himself. Even last night, him flipping that. camera off. Awesome. Yeah. Like I I. think that is everything he does I think. is awesome. Yeah. Like I I He's humble. Everything about him. >> It feels like this might be the year. Go. ahead, Ty. >> Yeah. Dur on that note, obviously you're. insanely competitive, one of the best. players in the league, but how happy are. you that you don't have to play against. Justin Herbert? And uh do you guys look. around and say like, "Wow, we knew how. good this guy was, but he just continues. to take his game to another level.".

>> Yeah. I just can't wait for y'all to uh. get to see what he already been doing in. OTAA's training camp going against our. defense. I feel like he's been giving us. great looks. Some of the throws he made, man, in the red zone from just in the. pocket outside, man. I just feel like. he's just growing into his own, man. One. of the best quarterbacks in this league. I wouldn't rather have no other guy. I. love 10. We love 10 as an organization. And we always feel like long as we got. him at quarterback, we always got a. chance, man. >> Are you in the Silver Bells Club? >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. 150, man. I'm in.

there. I'm in there. >> Hey, tell us about the entire culture of. that building cuz we were in there. >> Oh, yeah. >> Beautiful building. >> I say, man, our sports performance team, uh, first of all, the facility is. amazing. And then just the sports. performance team. Shout out to Coach. Herd, man. Coach Dev, all the guys, man, out there. I feel like Coach Herb, he. does a great job setting the culture. Um, man. And, uh, we got a civil bell. club and it's a dumbbell club is, uh, it's circled off like a ring. Uh we got. the red the red part around it and if if.

you 150 or plus on the dumbbell you get. to you get your your name in there so. everybody don't have access to that. So. it's a lot of fun just being able to. bring a culture. Um I feel like man. there's some of the best in this league. Uh definitely in the sports performance. >> Well you guys are in LA obviously that's. a draw for some guys you know around the. NFL. Very talented guys. And then you. get to that building brand new building. brand new facility. We got a chance to. go see it. It's not 2025 ownership. investing 400 500 million in a practice. facility especially in Los Angeles.

Yeah. Not normal. Like that is not a. normal thing to happen. So you guys got. brand new facilities. You talk about. coach Herb, his vibes were immaculate. down that weight room. If you have a. good weight room and like a hardworking, let's have fun while working our ass off. type culture, which I think Harbaugh is. going to bring everywhere. It's like it. feels like you guys are set up for the. long haul out there. It feels like it. has to feel like that in there that we. are first we got to go on a run. Obviously, this year is the right year. to do it. Every year is the right year. to do it, but it has to feel like you. guys are set up here and the culture is.

already put in place. Yes. >> Yes, sir. And I say definitely with the. defense. Last year, we kind of uh got. our feet wet a little bit, but this year. we're definitely trying to take that. next step and just make this who he is. Make this our culture. I feel like coach. Harball, coach me, like I said, doing a. great job instilling the culture and. just make it tough where you want to. play the Chargers, man. you know what. you're going to get. It's going to be. tough. So, we just trying to keep it. going. Not for one game or one practice. one day, but like you say, let it be the. culture. >> And also, the uniforms are cool. >> So, great. All of them.

>> Yeah. We saw them all lined up at their. facility. It's like, yeah, we have the. best uniform of every era. Don't worry. Yep. Boom. Bang. Pow. Here's all our. different uniforms. We'll use them. We're in Los Angeles. The weather, you. know what? You know, they can really. sell some to free agents. >> Oh, yeah. >> Especially if they win. >> Especially if they have a tree company. Especially I mean we've heard about that. in basketball potentially. >> I don't know. >> Yeah. Yeah. We don't know. We don't. know. We don't know. We heard it. Tory. told us. >> Okay. That was not us saying that. No. >> But it does feel like you guys are.

building something very special. We're. very happy for you especially for how. much work has gone into all of this. Season started internationally. Go. ahead. Man. >> Yeah. Derwin. This week was the second. game. So you guys have, you know, kind. of stacked them up two weeks in a row. now. How was the Brazil trip? It felt. like a massive victory for you guys. probably didn't have to wait on the. tarmac. That was awesome. How was the, you know, the strength and conditioning. team though? Just because uh Mai Beckton. was pooping his pants like the whole. time. So, what was that like in Brazil?

>> Man, first of all, man, it was a lot of. fun. Shout out hats off to everybody in. our organization, man. It felt like we. still was at home. We had all our same. equipment, uh, everything we needed to. go in and have success. And I feel like, man, it really allowed us to have time. to bond as a team, grow closer. You have. you got the offensive guys hanging with. the defensive guys. So, man, it was a. lot of fun. And uh we we wanted to come. back with a W, start the season off, right? And uh man, it we did that. >> How many uh Jim Harbaugh sayings do you.

try to like, all right, I'm going to. write that one down. Is it like an. everyday thing? Like yesterday after the. game, 2 minutes and 40 seconds, he spoke. about you. I don't know when your. contract's up next. I got the I got. everything you need for the negotiation. Okay, it's 2 minutes and 40 seconds long. is exactly what it is. You can find it. on the Chargers social media is all you. need. >> I know I know I love coach Harball, man. I love his organization. I love. everything about it, man. Um man, I I. can't wait to go out and practice. tomorrow, man. So, I'm excited. >> Can you tell me about his messaging,

though? Cuz he is very It sounds like. the way he delivers his messages is what. makes us all love him so much. His press. conferences are electrifying. I mean, like every time he speaks, it's great. Can you talk about his messaging a. little bit and how he's either different. from any coach you've ever had or? >> Yeah. Uh, it's he's one of a kind. There's nobody like Coach Har. He He's. different in his own way and in a good. way. You uh he's not going out there. with some script or some PowerPoint or. like none of that. He's giving you real. life advice, real life situation. It.

could been been just happened to him in. the hallway and he he's just going to. come off and tell you what it is. he can. be going off with a story and then a. thought will come to his head, he'll. switch it up. So just him being that him. being that man, him being different. We. love him and uh he always got great. stories. It it ain't one thing you could. just write down cuz he going to give you. something every day. So man, uh great. coach, man. >> So I was just walking in the hall. I saw. our lunch lady. She said, "Coach, great. job." And I just thought to myself, "Wow, this lady.

>> in the middle." Is that is that what. it's like? >> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. So he'll give. you some anything man and he'll tie it's. good. He what make him great like he'll. give you like the analogy and it'll tie. tie it to football which make it make. sense to us. So I'm like man you got a. gift with that honestly. >> cuz everybody will be looking like what. and then like man when he really explain. you really get you like oh. >> land the plane he lands the plane. >> be like. >> yeah bring it back. Okay where are we.

going with this? Where are we going with. this? And then and that's why when I. tell you guys so we Oh, pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty. Yeah, he's he's electric. We see that at the. press conferences. I couldn't imagine. behind closed doors when trying to. motivate. Speaking of doing that, man of. coach ball for 47 years. Big fan of. yours. Coach Ba has a question for you. Derwin. >> Derwin. Yeah, man. I'm big big fan and. uh prayers out to KL Mech. Hopefully. he's okay and it gets better. But with. all these quarterbacks running around. right now and you get your choice of.

intercepting or knocking one of them. out, what you want to do, >> man, intercept, man. You know, the rules. change. Rules a little different. I got. to get that ball down. I'm trying to get. the ball as I can. >> I don't know. Somebody quarterback. trying to run people over now. >> Run over, but I'm trying to get the ball. for coach. >> Hey, Dwin, let's talk about that, though. Let's extend that point because. it happened against you guys. Uh Patrick. Mahomes obviously doesn't go out, lowers. his shoulder. Who was the. >> 27? I forget the number on your guy. >> That immediately led to everybody on our.

show saying, "Okay, if that's what it's. going to be now, it's going to be open. season." But we're seeing a lot of. running from the quarterbacks. Like a. lot of running from the quarterbacks. How much are you guys thinking about. that? Obviously, >> uh, man, we we obviously think about it. cuz like I said, the quarterback, especially red zone, man, they they legs. come alive, man. These quarterbacks. running more and you got to account for. them. If you don't, you playing 10 or. 11. So being able to know where they are. and um we got to we got to attack them. like running backs in space if they. going to run like running backs, you. know. >> Yeah. But. >> once they cross the line, we got to go. tackle them like running backs,

honestly. >> Yeah. But yeah, but don't you even think. about going close to not on the. sideline. No, no, no. Not on the. sideline and play. If he running, if he. ain't sliding, then they running. Some. of these quarterbacks not even sliding. They shaking, making moves. They trying. to get yards. So, you know, we'll see. what we get. >> That's probably why that's probably why. three or four of them aren't playing. this week. You're fine. I think it's. fine. >> Some of these quarterbacks ain't flying, man. They just going in there. So, we'll. see. >> Hey, get get that ball, man. Get that T. It took enough money out of your checks.

>> Yeah. >> Suspend it, my dog. So, yeah, they got. him on the list. >> Hey, man. Those are good stats to have, too. Whenever you put that 2 minutes and. 40 seconds up there, then also, yeah, I. got this many picks. >> I think I'm going to be a Charger for. life. Yeah, that's what we got going on. That's awesome. You're the man. We. appreciate you joining us. >> I appreciate y'all, man. Y'all keep. killing it, man. >> Yeah. Well, we're going to try. Not as. much as you, obviously. Uh, good luck. against the Broncos. Great win last. night, ladies and gentlemen. Derwin J. >> Yeah, go. >> What a win for them. >> Oh, yeah. >> Three divisional games out the gate.

>> Yeah, they started scheduling that. They. they did a lot of uh division rivalry. games there week one and I think it's. because a lackluster start last year. Remember last year kind of slow out of. the gates? >> So, they I think they wanted the. schedule maker wanted that to have. bigger games. How do you feel about that. as a coach with that as important of the. games are that early? >> Yeah, I I don't I'm not a big fan of it. Now, especially three in a row. >> Yeah. >> You know, I mean, >> uh, now if you get the three wins, like. they got a chance right now, you owning. the division, >> as long as you don't get killed with. injuries, but if you can get three up in. your division, that's hard to huge.

>> Yeah. Especially cuz that's not. happening normally till like week 14. Now you have that at the beginning of. the season. Get all the out of division. games come in, find your team, get even. better than whenever they get back into. it because they're always going to end. with division games as well because they. want to have big time football towards. the end of the season which the NFL has. gotten right. >> Yeah. >> Every single end of. >> season weeks there have always had very. meaningful football games stacked up. So. I'm not saying that the schedule makers. get it wrong, but last year there had to.

be a conversation about how slow they. were out of the gates. And college. football was actually last year carrying. it. Yeah, that was carrying football for. a while because there was so them having. the division games right up front. Did. it make it easier for coaches to get. teams prepared, do you think, because it. was more important games early or do you. still think teams have no idea who they. are at this point and they're playing. very meaningful football? >> I think the ones that have veteran. players know what it means. The ones. that are playing with younger players. have no clue. >> that the division is how we get to the. dance. >> This is how you get to the dance, baby. You got to win these. And you got People.

always say, "Ah, football doesn't start. in November.". >> Mhm. know September games come back bite. you in the ass. All right. If you start. losing in September, that's a hard road. to overcome. And uh but yeah, I mean it. it means so much more in training camp. and I think if they continue it, you're. going to see more guys playing in the. preseason. >> Okay. >> That's kind of like what Lombardi said. You know, Michael Lombardi when he he. was coming on uh last year every week or. the year before, he always said like, "Hey, you you can have a lull and the. teams that go to the Super Bowl, like. they might look bad a couple weeks, but. if you look at it after every season,

they start really well and they end. really well. And then in the middle, there might be like two or three games. where there's a lull or someone misses a. game or something, but like those first. six weeks and the last six weeks are the. most in time, most important time. like. when you won the Super Bowl in Tampa, like you guys didn't get going till. >> week 11 way later against the Falcons. Yeah. >> We're down 17 nothing at a half. >> Yeah. >> And um you know that big second half um. was huge for us and that just continued. on. But uh that that was such a crazy.

year because we had no OTAAS, no. training camp. >> We were just Tom was there for the first. time and learning our way as we went. week to week, you know, and uh but in. the past it's so like break it down into. four segments. try to go three and one, three and one, three and one. If you win. 12, you're going to you're going to have. home field advantage and just break it. down that way. Keep it in those four. quarters. And uh injuries happen and. other things happen and you got to. readjust and adjust because it's you're. always adjusting in the National. Football League. Always. >> You got to stay healthy though. Health. is the number one thing. You're going to.

get hurt and uh Go ahead, Ty. Well, that's what I was just going to say. Like when you fans aren't complaining. because you get a divisional game early. and it's like, you know, it's sweet. because you're more invested than maybe. whatever. But like, >> you know, if you're playing a division. game week one and you play that opponent. again week 15, it's like those are two. different teams pretty much. >> Oh yeah. Both of them have changed show. >> Exactly. >> The injury report coming out of week two. here, lot of quarterbacks. You talk. about three, four quarterbacks. Joe. Burrow, he's out three months. JJ. McCarthy, what is it? Two to four weeks.

>> Jaden Daniels sprained knee. I don't. think we've got a full. >> They said he might not play Sunday. >> Okay. Uh Brock Perie, M. Jones already. played a game and then Justin Fields. concussion. It's like that's inevitable. with the way we were watching that. entire thing kind of happen with goes. back to BA points about how much running. the quarterbacks are doing. But that's. one of Justin Fields biggest upsides is. he's the fastest guy on the field. Then. obviously Aaron Jones, Jaylen Johnson, Cal Vanoi, Highmith, BB Terrell and. Baker Mayfield. We assume. >> Yes. >> Okay. We assume his left knee, it was.

shown in the final two minutes, uh, the. hit that he takes where he gets upended. by CJ GJ. That was the third hit to his. left knee. That was pretty nasty. It. started early. Here's the Neil Hunter. against the starting center who's. playing left tackle. Centers and. tackles, two very different body types. and two very different positions. Kind. of gets rolled up on his left knee. there. Then there was this run happening. in the fourth quarter where he goes and. he kind of an awkward landing. Boom. Gets up. That's that left knee again. Ah. ah ah CJ GJ talking his right there. which CJ GJ will do. I mean that that is.

CJ GJ football. I believe Bruce Arens. and he have gotten into it a few. different times a few times. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. It's part of the. beauty of CJ GJ. And then once again. here's Baker Mayfield later in that. fourth quarter. Boom. Takes another huge. shot to the left leg and his leg was. planted. That's CJ GJ as well. We assume. that left knee is going to be the size. of a basketball. >> We assume that thing is going to be. gigantic. Well, we would also like to. assume there's a chance he's not. practicing tomorrow and there's a chance.

he's not practicing on Thursday, but we. assume Baker Mayfield will be playing in. the game. >> Oh, there's no doubt. There's no doubt. he'll be out there and uh Moral Jared. Far, who heads up their rehabilitation. She is outstanding. One of the best. there is. She'll have him ready. >> He's going to be like Ed Monx. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> He's going to get that thing drained. >> That's right. >> I'm assuming his knee is going to be. >> Oh, yeah. >> Just I don't know how he finished. >> Yeah. How bad was it for you when you. were playing? >> Well, I'm just I don't get any of these. shots like the hype the twist obviously.

that's just like a little irritation. there. Okay. That's just a little. irritation that'll spur some inflation. Okay. The irritation in itself will do. that. Then him. >> this is a bruise. Boom. Into the ground. Okay. Right underneath that turf cement. Go ahead. >> Right there with that one. This is a. perfect example of kind of how injuries. work in the flow of a game. something. could be hurting and but but that. adrenaline and when you like when he he. literally was probably would have laid. there for another 15 30 seconds if CJ GJ. didn't come over and start talking. He immediately popped up like oh no I'm. not going to lay here like a lamed duck.

while he's standing over me cuz he knows. that defense and number eight. specifically feeds off that type of. energy. So as a competitor that's what. gets you going. Now, when he he's. probably still in bed right now to. tomorrow, it'll feel even worse. But. when it's game time, like you when it's. when he runs out of the tunnel again, I. expect six to be out there and take the. field. But when you're when you a lot of. us deal deal with those things, but when. that adrenaline is flowing, it was. pumping almost like anything else. Kind. of like fight or flight when it's going, you got to lead your team, like the. teams are feeding off you as well. So,

yeah, that that I think that that was a. perfect illustration of kind of what. happens for the athlete when they're in. the middle of it. >> That's kind of Baker Mayfield's MO right. there, right? Yeah, >> just tough gunslinger. >> Comes down two-minute drill. Here I am. Like that is everything Baker Mayfield. was heralded as coming out of Oklahoma. Okay, remember we remember at Oklahoma. the coin toss with Kansas. I think. >> they don't the whole everything. >> The duggeear. >> The dug everything. The. >> everything was like yo this guy's.

gunslinger. outlaw. Okay, that is what Baker. Mayfield and tough guy. That last one. when he gets flipped, he comes up. immediately calling a play. He knows. he's in two minutes. He's He bounces up. He's He's giving the signals for the. next play. He not even thinking about. that knee, >> you know, and he comes right out. Boom. Takes him right down the field and. score. But that's what I love about the. kid. >> You are huge Baker man. >> I'm a huge fan, brother. >> Yeah. Like this morning, uh, the thing. he's texting during game last night. about Baker, then this morning the. things he was saying about Baker. Tampa.

the perfect place for him as well. >> Oh, he owns his town right now. and and. that you know when people talk about. reviving a career he got an opportunity. he has taken advantage of it and he he. he is the franchise Mr. Glazers already. said he is the face of the franchise, will be for a long time. Tampa loves. him. Um because he's that type of guy. >> He's wearing as a badge of honor. Go. ahead. >> And that's what separates him from all. the other guys like the other guys, if. you will. Like we talk about Gino being. that guy as the first to kind of, you.

know, have a beginning of a career that. maybe didn't play as much and then, you. know, revive it. Like he got ran out of. Seattle. So, so he revived his career, but he was never picked. >> He was offered a contract. >> He was okay. But he was never hailed as. the franchise guy. I know the owner. never came out and said he's the face of. the franchise like they did for Baker. And then like you think about M. Jones, you think about Danny Dimes, you think. about every quart Darnold, every. quarterback now forever. Like if they do. have a tough start to their career, they're in their mind they're just. thinking Baker Mayfield. Like that is.

going to be the face of, hey, sure, I. had a bad start and I got ran out of. town, but at the same time I might have. a couple years here and then be the face. of a franchise again. He was on scout. team punt block in Carolina. The. Carolina Panthers. >> with Frank Wright. >> The Carolina Panthers that rule. >> who who to be canded stunk at football. that year. They got Baker Mayfield. rushing the punt. Now obviously he goes. to LA, he has those multiple weeks with. Shawn McVey. And I assume whenever Baker.

Mayfield is finished and he looks back, he'll say like those days in Carolina. was on the scout team and he was just on. the sideline headbutting guys with. helmets on. He didn't have helmets on. He'll probably talk about the amount of. opportunity he had to grow as teammate. and leader and everything like that. It. all makes sense. But looking back on it, crazy insane. >> that they kicked him out of Cleveland. with everything that Cleveland's gone. through. >> Eight and nine. >> Kick him out of Carolina with everything. that's going on. And then obviously LA. and Shawn McVey giving him an. opportunity. It's like what a perfect. ending for him to be in Tampa Bay with.

that team, especially with Mike Evans. and. >> all the weapons that they have down. there. Yeah. Everybody they have going. on. But boy, you start looking back on. some of those things and it's like, was. it the right move to maybe give up on. Baker and kick Baker out of here? >> Ran out of Cleveland, ran out of. Carolina. They those organizations, you. know, historically got it figured out, but we. >> be cursed forever. You can make that. argument. Both those both those teams. are cursed forever. but we we always paid attention to. all that other And it, you know, some of it was a little extra or you'll. call it whatever, but like for me at.

least, especially with a quarterback cuz. we've seen other situations, quarterback. gets gets benched. Hey, I don't want to. be anymore. Trade me, get me to a new. place. I'm not doing scout team. I'm not. doing this. So to do that, not only. scout team for the offense, doing the. punt rush stuff, we pay attention to all. that. Even going back to college for. like Jaylen Herz when he was benched for. tour, everybody paid attention to that. in the evaluation and then when they get. another opportunity, all those character. things, they continue to show. themselves. But I want to ask BA, Jaylen. Herz, uh Justin Herbert, now Baker. Mayfield. We talk about him being a head. coach maker. How tough is that on him?

you know, continue to learn. I'm sure he. does some of the same things, but. continue to learn a different offense. year in and year out. And at what point. this season will he get comfortable in. this offense, do you think? >> Well, I think this year is real easy. because Josh was there. He did all their. red zone. He did all their third down. last year. They were number one in the. league. So, that was an easy transition. This year, it's the same stuff, same. terminology. Now go from Dave Canales to. Liam Cohen was different and u two. different systems but that just shows. how tough he is and how smart he is and.

how much he invests in it and uh that's. one of the things I love about him. because it's not easy to follow Tom. Brady. >> Yeah. >> All right. Tom Brady wins the Super Bowl. and here you come and you take over a. city u now granted this might be the. best team he's ever been on but don't. forget now he was rookie of the year in. Cleveland. Yeah. >> He beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in. Pittsburgh in a playoff game. >> All right. So he would he was no buzz, bro. >> Number one, >> kicked him out though. >> Yeah, that's. >> Yeah, class. Yeah, class. I was kind of. coach there and as somebody that grew up. in Pittsburgh and just watched them kind.

of do their thing and we all were. pulling for the Cleveland Browns. Good. luck. >> I'm not Cleveland. No, no, Tony. Tony. needs a year. We're not all pulling for. the Browns. >> Let's have the hammer. Dod Todd AP. Tone. will say doesn't matter if you pull for. him. We're still the Browns. Is that. what you're going to say, Tom? >> Browns is always the Browns. Just like. the Chiefs is always the Chiefs, Pat. That's exactly. Hey, last night money, uh, what happened with the money last. night? What happened with sports books. for week two? Anything we should be. paying attention to as the market. settled itself or is sports books still. beating the hell out of everybody right.

now? >> So, week two as a whole, uh, the the. totals market, the overunder market kind. of reset itself. Obviously, week one, it. was 12 and four to the unders. Um, the. overs obviously we talked about the. second highest scoring 10 games on a. Sunday. the the overs kind of reached. kind of water find its level in the in. the overunder total market there. Um but. as a as a whole it was it was a little. bit better of a week. I think two and. three the public went against the spread. in the top five games. Obviously the. weeks before that it was either 1 and4.

or 0 and five in college football and. NFL. So the betters got a little bit. better. Uh but the the uh the sports. books are still winning. >> Okay. Sports books always going to win. We assume Chargers are a good team to. beat Sports Books with. what stats are. saying. 145 and one against the spread. since last year. Shout out. We. appreciate you guys. >> Appreciate you guys doing that. >> Keep going. >> Making people happy. Making people. happy. Now, as soon as you stop doing. that. >> Oh, yeah. >> They'll let you know. >> That's right. >> To hell with this. Any any other maybe.

gambling greats that we need to pay. attention to? Any other wagons that have. really done well that we need maybe need. to say remember Chargers, this is kind. of their thing. They cover the spread. They win in that. Is there any other. teams we should think about? it. This. would probably be obvious or maybe not. Uh the Eagles and Ravens, I don't have. the exact stats off the top of my head, but I know that they have been a uh. quite of a quite a bit of a monster. against the spread. >> Okay. And Tone, uh we didn't get to talk. college ball as much yesterday. What are. some things that came out of the college. football weekend that we need to be.

paying attention to? And shout out to. college ball kicking a lot of ass. and. we'll have coach Rod uh Rich Rodriguez. of the West Virginia Mountaineers on at. 1:30 Eastern time to talk about the. massive win in the backyard brawl. But. what are some college football stories. that we need to talk about or haven't. talked about? >> Yeah, I actually have uh five takeaways. from this weekend um that I wanted to. talk about. There's a couple teams up at. the top of there. Miami, Oregon, Utah, Vandy, Florida State, Oklahoma. I just. love the cut of the jib of these teams.

I'm not saying these are the the best. teams in the country, but the like the. vibes, these are all vibe teams right. now. Miami has been unbelievable. Obviously dominating Florida in a big. win against Notre Dame. Oregon, anyone. that that is on the field with them, they are just absolutely pummeling. Uh. Gundy found that out when he tried. talking a bit about Oregon and Dan. Landing, they just put it on them. Utah. obviously with the new OC and Devin. Dampier coming, they've just been like. these teams. Vandy right here. They. sorry, excuse me, got a coach fired.

basically uh at Virginia Tech and then. just put it on South Carolina last week. and then obviously from week one from. now Florida State has just been putting. on teams. These are teams like it. doesn't matter who they're playing, they. are just going to put it on them and. they've looked incredible. Um and the. last one there, Oklahoma obviously was a. big one this week against Auburn. Number. two, um we watched them week one uh. against Ohio State and we're like, "Oh, it's okay. They played Ohio State. They're a great defense, but does Texas. stink? >> Whoa. Tony, Tony,

>> Tony. Now, they've won. You see Arch. running it in here against UTEP. And. they've won since Ohio State, but it. still hasn't looked pretty. You You'll. see a couple throws mixed in here from. Arch uh with the touchdowns where it's. like things are just still off a little. bit for this offense, which we wouldn't. we did not we nobody expected this. coming into the season. Maybe, you know, we expected it not to be the quickest. start, but not how it's looked so far. Things have not looked great for Arch in. that that Texas offense. They're.

>> winning games. They are winning games. >> They're winning. They're beating. >> They're beating you. It's It's not good. on the internet for all Arch. A lot of. people are saying he's more Archie, not. Payton. And the real one is. >> Archie is the first overall pick. >> Archie, right? Archie set the table. down. And. >> so Archie, I love But Archie ain't never. won Okay. And neither am I. But. I'm just saying when one more time, >> he was on the brother. He changed the. entire franchise. >> Exactly. And maybe Arch ends up going to.

Cleveland and they go 4 and 12 for the. next 10 years and it's cool. And then. the real prince who's promised Payton's. boy comes and everyone doesn't hype him. up. >> Marshall. >> They don't hype him up like Arch because. it was a mistake. >> Play saying Arch has a lot of pressure. with that last name. It's tough and. we're part of the problem. >> Exactly. I'm part of the problem, sir. I'm part of the problem cuz I I honestly. was like, Arch going to get dropped into. this. >> number one team in the country and. they're going to be even better than.

they were at the end of the year last. year with a guy who was starting there. for three years or whatever. You know, that was a lot. I was really I was. really excited about the arch man. >> Between Heisman, >> let the boy have some time. >> Have some time. >> Let's let the boy have some time. >> No time. >> Okay, we know Stark's offense is going. to be good. And I know even though a lot. of others seemingly have started to let. doubt creep in and maybe even win the. conversation, I know Arch is going to be. a player. Now, there are some alarming. little things we see. There's some. throws maybe in the first row on the.

stand. There's some little skip passes. that we don't expect. There's a little. uh pain in the face because the throw is. so bad. Exactly. There's a lot of those. moments happening right now. And we're. seeing all of it because it is Arch. Manning. He's got a lot of deals. Okay. We're bringing a lot of eyes. We're. bringing a lot of attention. Let the boy. figure it out, >> dude. There ain't time. Okay. >> No, that's what that's why Archie said, "Hey, listen. He's gonna be back there. next year as well." I mean, just you. gota eat, you know, thinking. that you let the boy figure it out. Give.

him a You tell the Let the boy figure. it. Now, would I be saying that if I. didn't have such close connection to the. family? Absolutely not. But with that. being said, watching it, it does feel as. if this is going to be a situation that. is going to have to take some time to. figure out. Will they figure it out? >> Oh, definitely. Definitely. There's no. time. >> Just like John Senna said, the time is. now. >> That is not dead. >> Chris Burman. >> The time comes in the Red River. shootout. >> John Cena, >> we love you, Santa.

>> What the hell did you call him? >> John Senna sucks. >> Chris Burman called him John Senna last. night. I'm sorry. Chris Fowler called. him John Senna last night. >> Yeah, that's not Chris Burman. All right, we. can't get those two. >> Yeah. Well, speaking of actually, we got. some ideas for Bourbon as well. >> Oh, yeah. He had a bar for Burman last. >> We had a bar for Burm and it's going to. work for as long as we need it. B. >> Yeah. Uh, >> father. Okay. Give him a test or call. He didn't sound like Vegas. >> He needs an emergency.

>> What's that? >> He needs emergency. >> You're talking about uh vitamin C. >> Yes. We have had that shipped into the. office in droves. I'll have everybody. know. We got We forced BA to take one. >> It's a fun always take it. Yeah. >> Yeah. It's just a little gummy. We We've. set it up in a position though here. where it's Hey, grab your vitamin C. gummy. >> Get your emergency guys. >> Get your gummy. Have a couple of them. Maybe OD on vitamin C. Maybe maybe have. too many here so we can fight. And we're. going to find out if this works or not. Yeah, >> that is what we're going to do this. fall. Every fall, everybody,

>> including us, get uh something. Especially when the weather changes, >> everybody gets every time. >> I don't even think my allergies are that. crazy. Maybe they have grown as I've. gotten older. But during fall, during. football season, all of us always get. something. Maybe Fowler is having that. right now. I'm not 100% sure. We all get. it throughout the season. We are going. to OD on vitamin C this year. >> Have to. >> And that we're going to see. We're going. to see how good this vitamin is. >> We're We're going to find out. There's. been some moves made to a couple. different foods that might help uh. >> help us going forward as well. Uh but. we're excited for that. What else should.

we be chitchatting about? Let the boy. develop. >> Mm- Speaking of vitamin C, let's go to. number three. Uh Notre Dame needs the. same run that they had in 2024. If we go. back about a year, >> they lost to Northern Illinois, who uh. was just a MAC team, not a ranked MAC. team. I believe they're 27 point. favorites against that MAC team. And. they went on a run after everyone said, "Hey, you cannot make the playoffs after. losing Northern Illinois." And they won. every game by 40. And they made the. playoffs and they went to the national. championship. Now they start 0 and2.

Very close games. They only lost by. three points and one point, but they are. still 0 and2. And everyone's saying they. can't make the playoffs. But I think. personally if they win every single game. by 40 points, I just like last year, I. think there's a chance they can make the. playoffs. Last year after Northern. Illinois, the only ranked team that they. played that was good was Louisville. That's it. This year they have USC. They. got to hope USC keeps winning and they. beat USC. Uh, but if they go on a run, it's going to be hard to keep out a two. loss Notre Dame team that only lost by.

four total points to those two good. teams. >> Okay, you're speaking to me because I. said to Sabin, I actually bet a Ferrari. or a Mercedes, which Sabin owns. dealerships for both of those that Notre. Dame was not going to make the playoff. because I thought Texas A&M was going to. beat them on Saturday. And I thought. with the way their schedule looked, even. though uh USC, who I think a lot of. people are saying USC deserves to be. ranked much higher, like people are kind. of disrespecting USC is what people in. college ball think. They think Lincoln. Riley's offense all the way back, >> like they think they are. underappreciated right now. So I guess.

if USC to your point continues to go and. they have a good performance against. them and then that tough Stanford team. last last week of the year, TBD, you have no idea how that's going. to go. I guess to your point, if they. beat everybody by 40, there will. certainly be a conversation. And they. can. Yeah, >> they certainly can, Tone. We'll see. And. we're gonna watch it every week. Yeah. On prime time. >> Big opportunity this this week with. Purdue. Purdue is a tough team. That. could be a big statement win for the. Irish. >> Not only Purdue, they also have an. opportunity against Boston College.

>> Keep them out. Don't let them in. >> Pittsburgh's great football team, too. Let's not forget that. Pittsburgh's a. great football team. Syracuse. Frans got. the boys running sprints on game day. after game day. >> True. >> Okay. >> This is the worst schedule in or the. easiest schedule in college football. Right. >> Which is why they lose their two big. ones at the beginning. I immediately. thought I don't know if they have enough. traction to get back. But then I forget. Notre Dame's on national TV every week. >> And if they win by 40, it's going to be. hard to keep them out at the end. So I I.

text coach Sabin after Texas&M gets that. win. I go, I would like that Ferrari SUV. that you were talking about. Okay. I. guess there's a Ferrari SUV cuz none of. the cars he sells would survive in. Indiana. None of them. He goes, "We got. an SUV." All right. And I looked at it. I don't think it's going to survive. here. >> But since Texas&M won, I immediately. thought, "You owe me. >> Get one." Yeah. >> He said, "Hold on now." He thinks the. same thing Tone's thinking. There's a. chance at the end Notre Dame does get. favor because they're on national TV and.

if they kill everybody, I hope not. >> There's a chance. >> That ruins it. I just think there's. >> What do you mean that ruins it? that. ruins it if that happens because like. that's. >> They're a different team now than they. will be at the end of the year. >> They were favored in both those games. though, too. Like they weren't dogs in. those games. They were favored against. Miami and. >> they were favored against Northern. Illinois, too. >> Yeah. And I'm not that one. Well, that. was one. >> Now they're now they're about. >> You're not keeping out a a two loss. Notre Dame team that lost by four total. points to Texas&M. >> I I have come around to that thought. I.

just want to let you know after Sabin. says it and you say it and then I look. into it and I think about myself. watching them on prime time every single. week and if they were to win by 40 every. single week which they can. >> which they certainly can. There will be. a lot of people that are like. >> put them in. >> This team's not one of the top 12 teams. >> What if one of those teams that they. beat that beat them is 8 and three? >> That's not good. That's not good. >> I'm taking the eight and three team over. Notre Dame at 9 and2. No, what they need. they won't take any of them at 8 and3. especially ACC uh Miami SEC Texas.

maybe&M. >> like if&m is 9 and2 and Notre Dame's 9. and2 but Notre Dame beats. >> but listen to what we're doing right now. >> we're talking about what the. conversation's going to be around the. time just put them all in the playoffs. right. >> 16 teams give us the Mac champ and three. more. >> give us a 100 teams put 100 teams in. there never going to get it right but if. Notre Dame does dominate on national. television every week. You're 100%. right. What are the other two? >> Uh four doesn't matter. That team is.

done. And number five, more importantly, the Mountaineers are back. >> I don't think Clemson deserve that. Good. luck to them. What was the team that. said, "We never talked about them last. week. They got a big time win. 44. Connors is the guy that said it. >> Houston, they beat Colorado Friday. night. >> Houston beats Colorado." And they said, "Nobody even mentioned our game on the. Pat M show earlier. I want to let. Connors know. We apologize. You were. awesome to watch." The Colorado team's. going to have to figure it out, but. maybe Houston does have it figured out. I think they got money, too, behind. them. They do. Nothing to think about. there. >> That quarterback's pretty legit, too,

>> agreed. Yeah, Wegman, great story, too, around him. So, we're pulling for. everybody to have great years, but if. you don't, we got to say it. We're back. on the other side. Cheers. [Music]. That's so stupid. That's crazy. That also take us off the we do. not deserve.

>> They all commit and love what's going on. in that weight room. They all commit and. love what Jim Harbaugh is preaching and. everybody in the building's happy. Everybody's like excited to be there. >> First row pressure, first row, second. row is up here. >> It is infectious what they got going on. And how many owners are spending 300. million on a new facility just for the. practice facility? >> This is the birdies. >> Wow. >> Oh.

>> But then for them to do it upright for. the last couple it's like look out for. the Chargers, dude. Look out for the. Chargers. Coach. >> got a gift for you. Oh yeah. Okay. So, miss your birthday and this Christmas. We. >> Oh, look at that. >> Your perspective on high fives is one of. the greatest things you've ever seen. All time great invention. >> I love the high five. >> Yeah. Give each other a high five.

>> Boom. >> Oh my god. >> Wow. >> Boom. >> We wanted to make you basically. something that you could hide. My dad. made it. >> Oh wow. >> That feeling. boom. >> And that's the I think you can get a. pretty good positive. >> Yeah.

>> That is incredible. >> Obviously national champion Michigan. man. Greatest high five. >> Yeah. >> Because of what you brought before the. high five. [Applause]. >> Oh yeah. He tried to give a handshake to that. particular high five trophy. Did break. the hand off. We had to put it back on. >> Yeah. Way to go. Handshake. >> Oh no. Oh no. >> There we go.

>> We have so much respect. >> You guys just rolled deep. This is. >> This would be our garage level. We're. not to be honest. She didn't know we. were going to be able to get 11 people. in here and then we would have 11. >> I mean, wow. It looks like a lot of. highlights against one particular team. >> They played more than one game. >> Why.

for one game? >> Imposing our will. >> This sucks. >> Party in the back. >> No one. >> No one outs the husband. This might be. close to. >> I love that chargers even more. >> The following program is a collection of. students talking about happenings in the. sports world.

>> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. [Applause]. [Music]. sport. Hello beautiful people and. welcome back to our humble abolone. on this BA day September 16 2025 hour. two of the program begins now. football. >> good job coach. >> there it is 47 years in football as a.

coach BA the toxic tables here at Boston. Conor at Tai Schmidt good cadence there. >> I think you got a couple. >> I think you got a couple to jump there. nine-year NFL vet. host of everything DB good D bad D. ladies and gentlemen Derry J Butler. >> and live from Hammer Pat is one half of. the hammer cowboys AP tone tone good to. see you. >> you look good son great college ball. breakdown we appreciate the five stories. that we need to know another story you. need to know Cal quarterback song of.

pull the telly real deal. >> he's going to get paid so much money. this offseason I apologize to the. calgorithm uh maybe Cal's able to keep. up though maybe after an offseason of. losing a lot of their guys to other. schools It would suck if the Cow Bears. just became a feeder system for other. schools, but there's a chance that is. what Cal currently is because Songelli, their quarterback, who is an 18-year-old. out of Hawaii who was originally. committed to Oregon, I believe. Then he. saw that he wasn't maybe going to have. an opportunity to start as a freshman. Whatever the case, transfers in the NIL. uh era before his freshman year even.

started. Okay. First person to ever do. that. A lot of people probably wanted to. judge him quickly. Uh, I would like to. commend him on that decision after. originally judging him because I thought. to myself, this guy's transferring. before he even gets started. This guy. doesn't want any advers. What is this. guy's? Well, I think what he and. everybody around him knew is this guy. needs to be playing football. >> The boy needs to play. >> This guy needs to be playing football. And that is the right decision. This. dude is phenomenal. He's tall. He's. athletic. He's a lefty obviously which. in 2025 isn't as big of a deal as maybe. it was back in the day but it is a be he.

might have one of the be most beautiful. lefty strokes that there is out there. and his ball somehow either spins slower. or faster whatever it is it is beautiful. going through the air and he throws. dimes he can move and he seeming I mean. he's in cal. >> so right. >> brainwise we're talking has to be a big. deal he's this guy. >> might get the biggest of all time. >> actually. >> after this season might might get the. biggest of all time after this season. You're talking about upside and. potential. That's what college ball is.

right now. His what he has earned for. himself and his family just here in the. first few weeks. Unbelievable. >> Going to be a big big job for the GM Ron. Rivera, who I love to death to keep him. I mean, they're going to have to come up. with a lot of cash. >> And we're not saying that's a good. thing. We're just telling you that is. the state. That's the game we are in. right now. And he is special. Yeah, >> he is special. Special at quarterback. >> And that's something to look for now. going forward. Like if if there's a. freshman that transfers, the first. thought you you mentioned like, uh, this. guy must be a bum. There's a chance.

there's some 17 year olds out there. right now looking at the team that they. might be going to, and they're like, well, I could maybe go to Stanford or. Cal play year one, be the best player, and then go to the, you know, big school. for even more money. >> See, also having some Cal connections or. Stanford connections. Not a bad thing. >> No, not a bad not a bad Berkeley. I did. not know what to expect going there, obviously. I think I uh had a natural. >> thought sure of what we were walking. into over there. >> based on the state.

>> well not just the state just everything. that's ever basically been said about. the university the campus the city you. name it is all like. >> I thought not sports people. >> not really like sportsy people you know. I think there's in some places and maybe. I'm wrong in this especially Berkeley. proved that is there is like people that. are not sport anti-sports people I don't. know what the they do. I I have no. idea what they do with their time, but I. thought that's what it was when I go. there. That morning in game day is one. of the most memorable life experiences.

that I have. Just being mind blown by. what the expectations were and then what. it actually was. And I think it actually. has helped me like almost not judge as. quickly or like assume as quickly. They. love ball out there. And with that coach. and the way they're able to do their. thing and Ron Rivera is the GM, it's. like I think they're going to get some. special talent in there. Are they going. to be able to retain them? It's the hard. part. >> Quarterback last year now at IOU. >> Yep. >> Wide receiver last year, now out at uh. where's the uh where the guy there? Another big time transfer. >> Uh he went down to Oh my god. Florida.

State, Oregon, maybe. >> Yeah. But they their roster last year. >> got plucked. Went to Oklahoma. OT go. He's out. It's like that cow has become. like a feeder. I'm not saying that's a a. good thing for cow fans, but I am saying. cow is coming on the board quickly. And. this song of pull the teller kid is. legit. >> Their schedule their schedule is also. pretty uh pretty cake as well if you. want to talk about some schedules. So. look out for Cal. >> Okay. Who else are some schedules that. are pretty cake?

>> Uh North Carolina uh has a cake. schedule. Wake Forest. A lot of ACC. teams uh have some cake schedules out. there. >> What's that mean? What are you saying? >> Um. >> that conference sucks. >> Yeah, honestly kind of great news for. the Big 12. Well, West Virginia's head coach Rich. Rodriguez will be joining us in about 24. minutes. We understand what's happening. in the Big 12 right now. Okay. Arizona. State goes down there in Mississippi. State. They have problems with the. Cowbells. Feels like it's about to be a two-headed. monster in the Big 12. Feels like 34y.

old or whatever the hell he is over. there in Arizona State. >> Oh, he's a good one. >> He's great. >> He's a good one. >> Great. He's restored, I think, faith in. the entire community. He wants to. empower the valley, light up the valley. or something like that. Like he loves. that area. They've really gone around. Tough loss to Mississippi State. Tough. >> tough loss to Mississippi. They took the. goalpost out on them. It was one of. those. >> Stark Vegas, baby. >> Bingo. Yeah, exactly. Um, great time. down there. That place loves ball, too. New light show down there. New. everything in the stadium. >> You could tell. >> Herb Street, I think, said he thought. that that was going to be a problem. New.

light show, new everything. I don't know. if this Arizona State team has any idea. what they're walking into. And then lo. and behold, he was right. And that's why. he was doing the whole, "Oh, Mississippi. State won that one. I didn't know. >> I didn't know he was really excited. about that as he should be cuz he. basically called it to a tea. He's also. called a couple guys stats to a te going. in. Feels like he's on his but. Arizona State and West Virginia seem. like on collision course about to run. this entire place. >> What about Utah? >> Yeah, look out for. >> Kevin Damp here. I hate. >> Don't forget about Texas. >> What about Iowa State?

>> Texas Tech has a lot of money right. so good. He's supposed to be a Western. Mountaineer. Neil Brown. >> Kansas Jaylen Dav Brown just let that. one out of the backyard. Anthony. Beck, >> his dad's in the WV Hall of Fame. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Who doesn't want to. >> get the kid a scholarship? >> Yeah. You think. >> what are we doing here? >> You can blame uh you know Rocks in the. backpack on that one. >> He is holding a backpack for Texas right. now. He's working hand in hand from what. I've been told with Arch Manning. Neil. Brown had a lot of. >> good referencing.

us now, ladies and gentlemen. Live from. Ohio. >> Oh my god. >> He's only in charge of his breakfast. That's it. Yeah, that's right. >> That's how you start the day. >> Yeah. What's he serving him? Poop. >> Ladies and gentlemen joining us now. I. don't think he's serving poop, but I. assume there's people out there that. would say poop. Actually, pretty good. breakfast because the nutrients and uh. everything like that. There's a chance. that some sports scientist is bitching. poop for breakfast. And that's where. we're at now in this world. Joining us. now is a guy who actually.

>> Yeah. Good point. >> Yeah. He's in Anatican, Ohio. is college. football national champion, Super Bowl. champion, Ryder Cup winner, potentially. a poop eater. >> Yeah, >> we don't know. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ. Hawk, >> we know about the urine. We know about. the urine. Have you ever taken Don your. own uh bowel movement? >> Uh, no. First off, yeah, the urine thing. has never happened. Never tasted my own. urine. Never tasted anybody's urine. And. if somebody if there's a nutritionist. pushing poop for breakfast, you might. want to check out somebody else because. I don't think that's uh I don't know if.

there's any nutrients in it that if you. eat your own that I don't think. >> Oh, you don't know what these super. genius. >> I guess you got to test it. Somebody's. got to test it for us and be maybe con. man can be the guy. Eat poop for two. straight months and see if you feel it. doesn't help. >> There is definitely an instound. like he's already found this guy or I. assume it was would be a guy. I'll be. sexist. It was a guy I assume on. Instagram if I had to guess who's an. influencer on being the healthiest you. you could possibly be. There is a slew. of them and I am sure that one of them.

was like moose poop actually and an. entire thing for sure that that is no. questions asked. I sounds like you're. not one of those guys. We take that. back. Once again that's judging just. like I did with Berkeley. I should not. have done as such. AJ, we're just. talking about Cal being maybe a feeder. system for schools like Ohio State or. any of these other big big check. schools. Do you think the people of Cal. hate that and uh or is there just kind. of a a kind of an understanding that.

that's the modern world we're in right. now? >> I mean, I'm sure you can you can hate. it, but you also probably have to accept. it at the same time until you are able. to come up with the funds that it takes. to keep these these stud players around. Yeah, I guess it's a good problem to. have. Hey, this guy is so good these. other, you know, he's looking at going. and other teams may poach him and take. him away from us, but yeah, we have the. good player. What do we got to do to. keep him around? It's like a lot of. coaches say, "Hey, I don't have to love. the NIL situation and all of it going. on, but this is where we are. I got to. find a way to navigate through it.". >> He's going to Penn State next year.

>> Oh. >> Oh, probably. >> Lock that in. >> Can Can you bet on that somewhere? >> I Is there a predicting market? >> Need that. >> That we could potentially put that on. I. assume that is where he ends up at if I. had to guess. >> Miami. >> Maybe Miami cuz Carson Beckley has a. year. Will they be able to keep up. cashwise with Penn State? >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's an ooze. What about Alabama? I mean, I wonder if. >> maybe Kaylin Debor. >> Yeah, >> maybe Florida. Maybe Texas. >> Florida.

>> They might be in the quarterback market. >> Excuse me. >> Just don't. >> But he's leaving. >> Maybe he might want a fresh start. >> I mean, If he wants to stay, >> West Virginia is not a bad place. Arch. Manning wants to transfer out of Texas. Get away from Neil. come back to Rich. Rod's hard edge. We would certainly take. him. Hey, everybody needs to stop giving. up on Arch. Let the boy develop. Develop. >> Let the boy develop. AJ, let's talk. about uh last night. What is your big. takeaway from the big win for the. Buccaneers? Baker Mayfield. Absolute.

dog. And then for Chargers, Raiders, what are your thoughts on maybe the new. Kings of the AFC West? >> Yeah, first off with the Chargers, like. Debbut hit it hit it right on. Like if. you're sitting there and you were the. Raiders, you're Gino Smith. Good luck. There just not seem to be any they. didn't have any any room to even. breathe. Like they were on them from the. jump. These white shirts just swarming. everywhere you looked. You could tell. like when defenses start to feel when. they start to play well together like 11. dudes playing as one. They all know. where their help is. They all know what. proper leverage and they just fly around.

and have fun. That's what it looks like. when you watch this Chargers team. They. turn Gino over three times. I mean you. do that, you got a great chance of of. winning that game. I'm just I'm. impressed with Herbert. I'm impressed. with coach Harball how he speaks about. his players as well. Obviously, we've. heard him praise Harbaugh. Listen to him. praise Derwin James. I thought it was. great when you said, "Hey, I got all the. ammo you need when it's time for a a new. contract." Because your head the head. coach has said that all these great. things about you. I think it's cool to. see like I think Harbaugh also knows, "Hey, my guys can handle it." There's. some head coaches I think that are.

almost scared to praise their own guys. during the regular season actually. >> Well, I think Harbaugh would if he. didn't think that this was the right way. to go about it, he wouldn't do it. Like. I think Harbaugh probably thinks this. Chargers team, maybe these guys been. beat up pretty good publicly, you know, for the lack of living up to. expectations. Maybe his strategy with. this group is somebody needs to go to. bat for these guys like Herbert mostly. Like, hey, I want to build these guys up. publicly so they know that I'm I got. their back. That might be Harbaugh's. actual strategy going into there. Is. that something to think about or is that.

just what Harbaugh's always like, you. think? No, I I think there's a good. strategy and and like you said, from. where they came from San Diego to. StubHub and where they've been, hey, we're damn good, man. We're damn good. And believe it and throw it out there. Don't be afraid. All right, expectations. are beautiful. All right, let's raise. them. Let's raise them. Let's make sure, hey, we're a goddamn Super Bowl team. Hell. >> yeah. >> We got the Golden Goose at quarterback. I took this job. Yeah, Justin Herbert. Oh my god, I saw him. Yeah. Is did the. football gods craft a human for me to.

coach? Yeah, they did with Justin. Herbert. I mean, >> all his dad. >> Yeah. Hey, you too. Take your hat off. Stand back. Guys are so tall. So tall. Joe, tallest guy of all. Toughest guy of. all time. Friendliest guy of all time. Just like he cuts promos for all his. players. And that 241 for Derwin James, let alone Quinton Johnson. They were. saying that guy can't catch. Now he is. one of the best weapons in all of. sports. Herbert's finding his groove. Chargers are special. The AFC West going. to be tough. I will say I got Travis. Kelce's new hat. >> Yeah,

>> I'm not giving up on a Chiefs just yet. >> Okay, >> I'm not The Moxy's got to be the vibes. got to be high as the American Eagle. True Colors collab arrives over there in. the kingdom. They got to feel good about. that. Hat's great. They got a three/4. zip I'll wear in December. >> I got a little flannel thing up. >> Yeah, there's a lot of options in there. >> Catch the damn ball. >> Yeah, BA. Maybe they got a little too. much. >> Catch the damn ball. Yeah, but pretty. cool merge. >> Oh, they got dead now, bro.

>> And a resume. The brothers are killing. it. >> And they're in the middle of a dynastic. run right now, obviously. But yeah, BA's. big tick. I said, "How do you feel about. Travis Kelce's new stuff?" He goes, "You. got to catch a damn ball.". >> That is not Travis Kelce thing. That is. not like Travis Kelce at all. I think. that's why he was. >> touchdown forever. >> Okay, so let's get to uh one of our. favorite segments. >> Hell yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, it is. time for BS or no BS with BA. We will. present statements of fact that have. been made by people thus far in this.

football season. And BA, it'll be your. job to tell us if those statements are. BS or. no BS. Sounds good. >> Sounds great. >> Let's go to the first one. Baker. Mayfield has won his way into the MVP. conversation. Special night on prime. time. Is that BS or no BS, BA? >> Oh, that's no BS. You know, the last two. weeks winning ball games on the last. play, willing your team to a win. All. right, we're talking with He's playing. with five starters out.

>> All right. Early two top receivers, both. tackles. I mean, it it what he's doing. is amazing. And uh he's got to be in in. the conversation right now. And uh my. hats off to Jason Light because. obviously they got some depth. Losing. Clyde Jacy on defense and still stopping. him. uh that that Bucks team is I think. for real. >> We had some breaking news here during. the show. Colliah Clancy that you were. talking about out for the season with a. torn pec. >> that comes uh just after week two after. a prime time game and obviously a big. time dub. That sucks on the defensive.

side. But you talked about wide. receivers, talked about your tackle. Tristan Warf, one of the best players in. all the ball out still. So this Tampa. Bay team only going to get better. seemingly. Has Baker ever been in the. MVP conversation before? Has he been a. guy that's been left out of it every. year that he's. >> I I don't think everybody's getting. since his rookie year, you know, and and. he was too young for it back then, but. he's got to be in it right now. >> Will this end up being the best uh do. you think trio of wide receivers um. between Evans Godwin and Ibuka when. Godwin gets back? Do you think that is. >> Well, you got Jaylen McMillan, too.

>> Yeah. And McMillan. They're both out. >> Is that best in the league? >> I think when you talk about four, it. might be the best four in the league. >> Ibuka, I I mean, I put a tweet out last. night. Is he going to win offensive. rookie of the year? scoring touchdowns. all the time has three through two weeks. he's a rookie and they're talking about. him being like a vet on the field and. off the field they love him down there. and then obviously everybody was like. excuse me is Tyler Warren play football. still it's like you're right I have. boots on the ground IC eyes on Tyler. Warren but this guy might have 45. touchdowns this year and that's going to. be a number especially with Mike Evans.

still being there and you talked about. four wide at wide receiver and then they. still got a run game it's like. >> that's going to be he's going to get. one-on- ones he's going to get a lot of. favorable matchup and him and Baker on. the same page already. >> Yeah, cuz you still, even though Mike. Evans is late in his career, he's still. a game record. He's still the guy. You. saw they had one of the highest paid. corners in the league. Derek Stingley. Jr. matched up on him. He did a pretty. good job. But that's where you're going. to put your number one attention with. Mike Evans and that's where Ibuka can. definitely thrive and eat. >> AJ, you obviously have always been pro.

Baker Mayfield as we all have basically. on this program. Uh it's great to see. him doing this. I mean, this is Connor. talked about it earlier. Every. quarterback that has high expectations. that doesn't work out their first place. is going to hope to God that they have a. career like Baker Mayfield. You're. talking about the depths of hell, brother. We're talking about scout team. punt block in Carolina for a team. for an ass team he was doing that. willing and then he kind of evolves find. his home and then the owner comes out. and says this guy's the face of our. franchise forever for the foreseeable. future basically. What a time for Baker.

What a run. What a story. What a. football life. >> Yeah. Isn't it easy to I guess Baker's. an easy guy to root for. Is it because. he's like relatable because we see how. fiery and how intense how much he cares? I guess at least for me personally when. I when you know that somebody truly. cares this much like he he's pretty he's. pretty damn passionate and you can tell. on the field his teammates love him. I. guess that's why we all love like it's. not a redemption story like BA said he. won rookie of the year. The guy wasn't a. bust ever but for some reason you know. he had he had a rough patch and.

Cleveland will do that to some people. and he found his way back and here we. go. He's He's in Tampa. I know. And I. just uh I don't know. He's easy to root. for because he's a fun guy. I'm like, "Hey, if you threw that guy at. linebacker, I think he'll make a few. tackles or he'll break his neck trying.". >> He's a football guy, >> you know. He told the story uh to us a. couple years back whenever we were at. the Texas State Fair uh before the co. cottonball Red River rivalry. Um he said. uh that in high school he's playing in. front of 45,000 people. >> Yeah. >> Like in high school Texas football, he's. playing in front of 45,000 people. The. only reason why I know that he said that.

is because Sports Center next just. posted that yesterday. I forgot he had. said that. I listened to it. It's like. this guy loves ball. He's out of the. movie, the Texas movies about loving. ball. So whenever, you know, he has to. go on that journey of being a a pump. block team and then backup, third, fourth string, and then he gets kicked. out of a town. It's like an obsession. with ball kind of leads him through it. all. And I think you can see that with. the way he plays. Guy's not scared of. contact, not scared to talk. Everything that football is, Baker. Mayfield kind of loves and embodies.

What a what a football player. What what. a what an absolute football playing stud. we have here. >> The character you're thinking of is Mike. Winshell. He's essentially Mike Winshell. who is the peran quarterback in Friday. Night Lights if he made it all the way. to the NFL. But even in that stat like. we're talking about all these guys threw. a touchdown to a guy named Ryan Miller. I I I do not know. I should have known. I should have done my research. >> Furman. >> Yeah, of course. Furman. Uh, great. school. Love FM. They always uh have. some noise in the March Madness. But.

like even him just throwing it to. anybody, I assume it's pretty easy when. you have IUA and Mike Evans to have. tunnel vision. >> Since he's come to Bucks, he's led the. NFL in touchdown passes. He's led the. NFL in touchdown passes in the fourth. quarter. >> He's the guy. >> He's the guy. He's the guy. I also think. that and maybe it's a little bit recency. biased because of the last two weeks, but I think he's firmly entrenched. himself in that camp of like there's. always like the handful of quarterbacks. where it's oh you left too much time for. blank and like now it feels like that's. Baker like last night just watching that. game it was like there's no there was no.

doubt in my mind Baker's driving down. the field they're scoring a touchdown. here and they're going to win. >> Fourth and 10. >> Yeah, exactly. >> You think Yeah, right. You think Baker. Yeah. >> breaks the tackle. >> Yeah. Gone. And then he gets blown up. his knee. AJ, we talked about this in. the first hour. Three shots to that left. knee, including this one. Uh, well, that's the first one. Uh, that's early. in the game, first quarter. Then in the. fourth quarter, two massive shots to. that knee. Both one off the turf. whenever he falls awkwardly. And then he. gets upended, flipped with a shot.

directly to the same ah ah CJ GJ's, you. just got your ass kicked by the turf. what you the whole the whole that's him. >> the whole thing you know Baker's up. there and at him we take him back all. the way to college Baker's going to be. fiery and he knew going in Baker knew CJ. GJ's on the other side don't let him get. you don't let him get you well not only. does he pick up the first down but also. that's a shot right to the knee when. they do the followup still playing it. kind of hyperextended that thing is. going to be this big and none of us.

>> think at all that he's going to miss any. time with that. >> it's like that's a badge of honor and we. hope he's Okay. And if he does have to. miss time, completely understandable. >> Which is another reason why we thought. Cleveland was so perfect for him. Like. he's an Ohio guy. You just Everything. you just said about Baker is like Ohio. guy. When you think of an Ohio football. person, when we mention like Ohio folk, like he's just a hardworking dog. >> Yeah. What's the hell happened? What the. hell happened in Cleveland? Honestly, guys, >> Cleveland happened, >> you guys. I grew up a Cincinnati guy. You know that. The Browns. Yeah. Bernie. Kar. I watched him play as a kid, but I.

was a Bengals guy. >> Shout out Bernie Kar. Yeah, shout out to. all the great Browns in the past. >> and shout out to the Browns currently. trying to make it work. But you had the. guy that won a playoff game against the. Pittsburgh Steelers and then you run him. out of time without everybody else. >> The head coach wasn't on the sideline. He had co when Baker won. >> Get him out. >> He was out. Yeah. >> Get him out of here. All right, let's go. to the next statement of fact on BS or. no BS with BA. >> Yeah. Speaking of another tough, greedy. quarterback, uh, some people are trying.

to write him off and now I'm looking at. the silver lining because JJ McCarthy. will be missing the next few weeks. Um, is it good for him for missing this a. little bit time? Is that BS or no BSBA? >> Oh, that's total BS. >> Okay. >> He's too young. He needs practice reps. All right. He he he threw 35 passes in. the fourth quarter as a senior in high. in college and he needs reps. Now, he is. a dog. We know that. He showed that. against the Bears, but he's also too. much of a dog at times. These young kids. better learn how to slide quick. All.

right. Can you put yourself in harm's. way? Harm's coming, baby. >> A lot of quarterbacks running. >> Oh, a lot of them got hurt this week. You know, a lot of guys, >> they probably played one linebacker in. college that ran four five. They all run. four five National Football League. You. ain't You ain't getting away. You better. get your ass on the ground. >> How do you feel about him um maybe. getting a chance to watch though like a. Kevin Okonnell off? I don't know how. much he was in the building last year. We assume he was there. >> You got a year to watch. >> Okay. So, >> to me, you don't learn holding a. clipboard. >> All right. >> Mental reps. What are those?

>> You better get your ass out there. Do it. in practice. Pton Manny never Kelly Hok. never got a rep. One of the greatest. statements ever. Tom Moore said, "What. would you do if Pton got hurt in your. backup place?" Said, "We'd be and. we don't practice fucked.". >> It's a great line. >> We're not living in our fears. All. right. We're worried about right now. >> You need those reps, man. You got to be. out. You got to be on the practice field. getting reps. >> What about that guy right there though? What about Kevin Okonnell? Do you think. it's his offense that JJ maybe like do. you think it's going to take some time.

for them to be speaking the same. language and obviously this time away. from each other is cutting into that. time? What do you think? >> No, they need to get their tackles back. They had no tackles playing in the game. as they couldn't run the football. >> That was the difference between I think. the Bucks with no tackles. They ran for. 150 60 yards. Vikings couldn't run the. damn ball and it was all on now the pass. rush had him up. >> So you're saying time away from the game. not good for JJ McCarthy. >> Not good at all. What we need right now. is reps, reps, reps, reps.

>> We got to be on the practice field. >> All right. Get healthy, JJ. >> Yeah, I'll pull it for you. >> What do you think, Bruce? Just cuz you. have been doing it for so long. What do. you think about the VR stuff? Because. that's like what the. >> It's fantastic. Yeah, cuz that that's. like. >> you were one of the first ones to start. using it way way back when it first came. out. And it's great for your backup. quarterback. You do all your blitz. drills and you get in a room this size. just drop back, see all the reads, see. all the blitzes. So, it's great for your. back. Carson Palmer fell in love with. it. It really helped his career. >> So JJ might be able to do that. >> Yeah, it's like the reps.

>> Can also box in there, too. >> Yeah, true. >> Thrill of the fight in VR. >> Freaking Beat Saber. >> Yeah, you can play drums, too. Yeah, >> you can also swim in the ocean in there. >> Oh, that's cool. >> I would not I got sick. >> Yeah, I wouldn't want to do that. Oh, yeah. The roller coaster. >> Yeah, roller coaster bad. I got sick. What's that? >> Yeah. How do you swim? You lay on your. stomach and somehow swim. >> No, so it's a stationary thing. >> Kind of tread in water. >> But you got to do this number here to go. get to places. It gets really dark in. there. I I got kind of scared to be.

honest. The roller the roller coaster. the roller coaster one. That one made me. puke. There's a new one. Uh, it's like I. don't know if it's a new one actually. It's new to me where you walk out to the. edge of a building. >> No thank. And then you see how far you. can get out there, you know? >> Yeah. It's like a plank. >> Yeah, it's a plank. >> Yeah. Nice. >> And you're in your living room, bro. You're in your. >> What's the goal? What's the goal, though? To jump and kill yourself. >> I'm in my living room, bro. No. >> In the game, >> the goal is to get to the get to the. edge of the.

>> Get to the edge of the thing. So, you're. like walking out this thing and then. literally you look down and it's in like. I'll say 720. It's not 4K. >> Okay. >> But it's good enough. >> where. it's cartoony but it's good enough. >> Yeah. But it's not it's nicer than. cartoony. It is kind of realistic but. it's not 4K and you rely on that. whenever you start getting really. freaked out. >> Does it go like if you actually fall off. are you free falling on that thing? >> Oh yeah. There's video of a guy doing. this game and he and he jumps into the.

TV. >> I don't doubt it. >> There's people that are hanging trying. to hang on. >> Yeah, it's pretty real in there. That's. what we're saying. Good reps for JJ. Good rep. And if he wants to get a. little cardio and ping pong. >> boom boom and ping pong, they got ping. pong figured out. It will mess up your. actual ping pong. >> Sure. >> Like, but you can play real You can play. good VR ping pong in there with 11, I. believe, is the game. And it's real. You. play against people from all over the. world. It is fantastic. Good exercise,

good workout. AJ and I played against. each other. But it the real life ping. pong game will suffer from it because. you lose the touch of the real paddle. So you got to commit to one or the. other. I become a full-time virtual. reality ping pong player. I now suck in. real life. I don't like it. >> cuz in virtual reality I'm very good. >> So I'm real cocking the walk. Then I. come into real life. Everybody's like. come. >> want to come play in real life. >> and I can't find a table. It's. like, well, I need to what do you want? I spit a guy from Germany. He was ranked. 15 in the world. Okay. In virtual.

reality. But JJ is going to get better. out there. In virtual reality, >> I think it's something just like the NIL. transfer portal. We just need to. understand this is now life. >> We need to get in there. >> Part of it. >> JJ's in there. We can be in there, too. >> Bruce, walk that plank. Let's see if you. got it or not. Let's go to the next. statement of fact, shall we? >> Yeah. Ba, a lot of people are saying. that the uh the Chiefs are ass cheeks. Unfortunately, they're dead. We just. talked about it. Hey, listen. The AFC. West is now the Chargers division. You. know, they don't got anybody who's doing. anything other than Patrick Mahomes. So, I ask you, is that BS or no BS? BA,

>> I think that's total BS. This this. coaching staff's way too good, man. And, uh, you know, they they lost a tough. Super Bowl champs and and the Chargers. who, you know, they had to travel to. Brazil and all that. Those are excuses, but this this coaching staff's too good. This team's too good. And Patrick. Mahomes is too good. Now, if Patrick. Mahomes continues to be the leading. rusher, they got problems. Yeah, >> that is the big problem cuz he's going. to get hurt sooner or later. >> I mean, he just. >> now that he ran a DB over, >> people are going to take some shots on.

him whether he slides or not. And uh. they they've got to they've got to get a. running game going to help him out. because he's just taking way too many. hits. >> I mean, that's three guys hitting him. from the Philadelphia Eagles defense. that are very physical. Your big. takeaway is they're not Cheeks because. they're still the Kansas City Chiefs. They got too many good people in that. building to be Cheeks. So maybe we're. putting cart way ahead of horse in that. particular column. But if he keeps. taking these these are just these all. add up here. Now these are just shots. that just kind of add up and add up and. add up second quarter. >> And I think he maybe doesn't trust.

everything in front of him at the exact. moment potentially. So maybe he's. getting a little bit more eager to run. and then he knows he's much more. athletic than a lot of people give him. credit for so he can make a play. himself. But that's normally the mindset. of a younger quarterback as opposed to a. guy who's already being called the goat. How do you kind of stop that? What do. you think they try to do to get him more. in the pocket or maybe not as uh. vulnerable to massive shots? >> I think they got to find a running game. first of all and then they got to. protect him better. You know, their. their tackles have not played well for. the last couple years and they've been.

searching for a tackle and now this this. stuff is going to get him hurt and end. his career. Now, nobody wants to see. that. >> No one. No one. And they're making you. talked about Travis Kelce earlier. >> They're making mistakes that they very. rarely like I don't I think the Chiefs. are still the Chiefs. Now, did I pick. the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the. Chiefs? Yes. That's because I believe in. the Philadelphia Eagles. I think the. Philadelphia Eagles are a very good. football team, but I still believe in. the Chiefs. Sounds like you do as well. >> Yeah, I believe in Andy Reid and Spags. and the whole crew and Patrick Mahomes. >> Okay. Yeah. What's crazy is just like.

that you didn't really expect this. massive of a drop off. Like when Tuni. leaves, they still had Creed um Humphre. and they still have uh Trey Smith and. the fact that they can't run the ball. with two of the better players at their. position, right? Isn't that kind of. weird? Like why is that happening? Josh. Shimmons, rookie left tackle and he made. a great play. Actually, he stopped a. pick six against the Eagles, but like. why are they struggling if they have, you know, two all pros in the middle of. their own line? >> Yeah, it's it's, you know, just scheme a. little bit. Pachenko, get him going.

again cuz, you know, he's a fireball. When he gets going, that that kind of. sets the tone for them and and they. haven't been able to get him going. >> All right, last one here. Con man. >> Yeah, be a um steel curtain. more like. soft pillows. The Steelers defense absolutely stinks. >> We don't know if anybody actually said. this other than Connor. >> Correct. >> Yeah, this is my brainchild BA. And was. I maybe, you know, jazzing it up a. little cuz the Steelers are going to New. England this weekend. Maybe. Uh but sue.

me. What's going on in Pittsburgh, though? Everyone kind of thought, hey, maybe the offense will start slow and. then, you know, the defense will kind of. carry them. They'll be okay. It's kind. of been flipped. Why does the Steelers. defense stink out of nowhere? >> Or does Hold on. The question, remember? >> Oh, yeah. Excuse me. Steel curtain. though. More like soft pillows. The. Steelers defense absolutely stinks. Is. that BS or no BS? >> That's no BS, brother. >> Yeah, that's no BS. Wait a That was the.

hardest watch for me on Sunday to watch. that defense knowing that Casey Hampton. and Aaron Smith and James Harris and all. the guys that have played in that. defense for all the years going back to. Joe and all the rest of the guys. But. >> Troy. >> that was. >> they get stoned by a fullback and knock. both linebackers down. The safety can't. make a tackle. >> Seattle just ran it down their throat at. home. That just doesn't happen. >> Yeah. >> I mean it just happened and it didn't. happen once. That's that's third and 20. Little soft toss playing for a field. goal and you're running in for a.

touchdown. That isn't Steeler defense. >> What is it? What happened? How's it. happen? Because that was 10 a.m. local. time kickoff for the Seattle Seahawks. I. don't think anybody gave the Seattle. Seahawks any hope at all in this game. Aaron Rogers home opener for his. Pittsburgh Steelers era defense. How. much money? Let's go to hammer time. How. much money's on that defense? A lot of. money, right? >> Number one in the NFL. I think it's like. 150 million or some. >> Okay. So, they got 150 million on that. defense. been not only uh well earned by. the way by the boys for how great. they've been and the expectation. standard is the standard. I mean two. guys getting knocked down and one I.

think Jeff Saturday gave some pancakes. out earlier because of this but why is. it what is it? Is it just attention? Is. it focus? Is it scheme? What what do you. think it is? >> You know I think some of it is scheme. Some of it is uh reading press. clippings, you know. And um they can't. stop the run then TJ and Heismith can't. tee off. They're the they're the. finishers. All right. But you gota you. got to stop them first to be able to. finish. All right. And they're not. stopping anybody in the running game. right now. >> And Heismith too now. Heismith I think. is out four to six weeks. Right. Right. Tone. So like yes they're yeah they're. banged up already. So Jack Sawyer gets.

thrown in there. He's you know first. year this going to be you know kind of. kind of a interesting watch for the. Pittsburgh defense going forward for the. next. >> they're going to see a fullback for a. few weeks. I know that. >> Yeah. >> I'm putting one in right now. See old. Bob play is 100 years old. Run it down. the weak side linebacker's throat. Knock. two linebackers down. And until they put. that fire out, >> it's coming. >> Everybody's just attacking right there. >> It's a copycat league, so next week. you're going to see it, too. >> Hit that with some leverage, man. >> Yeah. Two guys have the same. >> Well, AJ, coach. >> Yeah. AJ, what the hell's going on?

Pittsburgh Steelers defense, brother. >> Hey, you see that moving late. Look. right there. Cam Hayward's moving late. He's standing up. He's already screwed. So, they can knock him down, create a. huge gap, and then here we go. We're off. to the races. Missed tackles. >> Yeah. What's 22 doing, Dud? >> 46. >> That That's that. >> open field, man. These running backs, they get paid a lot of money. drafted. high and this is why they're not paid to. get tackled in open field. >> by anybody. >> That would not be fun. That would not be. fun. >> It was like what AJ mentioned earlier. with the Chargers defense like playing.

defense and tackling. The only time we. tackle the National Football League is. on Sundays or on game day. So tackling. these guys, it's a team effort. It's. trust. It's literally firing your gun. Hey, if I got outside in leverage, I. trust my guy to be inside out because if. I'm taking on this block and uh he. talked about um Hayward, but Wilson, if. he box that outside in, it looks like, you know, Queen will come over and make. that play. It's all And then once that. your guy isn't there on play eight, on. play 18, now you're hesitant. Now you.

don't necessarily trust him. He doesn't. necessarily trust you, and it just kind. of piles on. But with the guys in that. building, with the players in that. building, they play a lot of good. football. with the coaches in that. building. I do think they can fix it. still. What did your leader say? Your. supreme leader say, uh, Tone, it's only. week two. Uh, so they can. >> talk about Aaron Rogers. I believe in. the long run, this will be good. I don't. know if he's supreme leader or uh, Coach. Tomlin would be considered that over. both of them may be supreme leadership. positions over there. >> Um, >> is that practice, trust, confidence?

How's that? Why is that? Why are people. not. >> It's practice. It's meetings. is is walk. through and then it shows up on on. Sunday on game tape. But it it only you. know you don't you have that little inch. of doubt and then it can kind of grow. But once you start making it like that. Chargers defense that team like you know. everybody regardless of we don't we. don't know all the names. The guys. outside of they trust each other. They. trust hey is going to be out there. Gilman, James, like all these guys are. going to be in their position, their.

place, so I can go and fire my gun. because one-on-one, me and Walker in. open field, it it leans to him. 2011, 301, now it's in our favor. >> How about BA saying that's no BS, brother? Didn't expect that. >> That was another segment of is it BS or. no BS with BA? >> Ba. >> Hey, we almost got through it that time. >> I know it's on me. Hand up. No, but the. first three times it was me, so don't. you worry about it. Just we we always. want to ask a question, but it's a.

statement. It has to be a statement. because then the statement's either BS. or no BS, but we always want to turn it. into a qu then it's not. So, we've. ruined the segment the first few weeks. This week, smoothest we've had. >> Hell yeah, >> by far. No questions asked. BA did. great. You know what else was great? Watching West Virginia beat the hell out. of pit. What a game. What a moment. What. a time to be alive. Hard Edge is. seemingly back in Morgantown, West. Virginia, and we're all thankful for. that. That are Mountaineers fans. Ladies. and gentlemen, the head coach of the. Mountaineer football team, Rich.

Rodriguez. >> Yeah, baby. >> How you doing, coach? >> Well, you look good, Pat. You look great. in that sweater. Good to see my friend. BA as well. We we go way back to our. days. >> back in Lake Aone, Georgia. You know, going over to Gabby's having a having a. cocktail or two, playing a little golf. Yeah, it's great to see you. >> You too, brother. Hold on now. So, I. know BA is a noted club thrower and club. drowner. Okay. If it has to happen, I. couldn't even fathom you on a golf.

course. Are you a uh what is the what is. the spirit or the mood in golf? Do you. try to be good? Are you actually good at. golf or are you just out there having a. good time with BA? >> No, I mean, well, I don't know what BA. He probably lies on his handicap like. all the other coaches do. I don't know. I mean, I was okay, you know, but I am a. little probably if if there's a little. money at stake, I'll get a little ultra. competitive. I've I've only broke two. clubs, just two. And one of them was an. accident. But I hadn't, you know, that's.

the worst part about, you know, taking a. new job, Pat. Hell, I ain't got time to. golf, which is ridiculous. I got to make. time to golf. So, I I'll I'll find time. If we get to a bowl game or win some. games, I'll find some time next summer. for sure. >> Come on. Come on down in February, bro. I'm not giving you any strokes either. >> Okay. See, he's hustling, too. He He He. just shot his age twice already this off. season. I mean, he's balling right now. on the course, obviously. >> He's balling. He He is balling for sure. >> Well, I appreciate you not golfing and. focusing on turning around that program. there. Uh, watching along this weekend,

the emotional journey that you were on. throughout the entirety of it all, I. assume was a lot. Afterwards, we saw. some tears. We saw some real pride, some. real fulfillment, it felt like, out of. you. What was that for your team? And. how did it feel in that locker room. afterwards? Yeah, you know, Pat, it was. I didn't, you know, it's obviously it's. not scripted, but I was probably I. didn't realize it until after watched. some clips of it afterwards. I was a lot. more emotional than you'd think after. 300 some games as a head coach, you you. know, it all kind of feel the same, but. I was a little bit more emotional. And I.

think it was maybe, you know, it wasn't. just because we won, it was our rival. and all that and there was 60ome. thousand people and the game's so. important and everything like that. I. just think it was a combination of a lot. of stuff. It was, you know, being gone. for 17 years, you know, seeing seeing. what uh everybody put into this program, people like yourself, how important it. was uh for us to to to play well and to. represent West Virginia the you the way. we need to be represented. And so it was. I mean every they say every game counts. as one. This one might be counting a.

little more than one. You know what I. mean? >> And and uh the folks started tailgating. last Tuesday and hell they haven't left. yet. So, it's been uh it's been a. wonderful uh few days. You know, obviously we turn to page now and I'm. moving on to a Kansas on the road this. this weekend, but for for 24 hours, it. was a hell of a time. >> Yeah, I know you're just trying to get a. first down against Kansas. I I know. that's what you got to think about. And. I appreciate you acknowledging how big. of a game that was because I think to. everybody that was following along with. your journey and our journey as.

Mountaineers as a whole and our story. and our team and the way everything that. has happened, that game was huge. Also. being on September 13th, 913, you know, the whole it was a massive weekend and. especially for you reinstating who you. are and what your team is. I think it. was a big weekend, man. Legit. >> And man. It should, you know, we're when we play them again in three. years, we're going to be a whole lot. better football team in three years than. we are now. So, this is the toughest. time for us, you know, is we got 70ome. new players, only have one guy that. started any football games. So, you.

know, this was uh this was good for us. to try to, you know, to get a win. because we got to wait three years till. we play them when we know we're going to. be pretty salty. But it was a physical. game, too. If you notice that, Pat, they. got they had an inordinate amount of. people there got hurt all the time. >> I saw that. >> On some snaps, there was two or three. guys that were getting hurt, and I was. like amazed at that. And then their. training staff must be the best in the. country because they all came back in. the game. >> I saw that. It was it was phenomenal how. how how fast that that medical staff of. theirs got them healthy again to get.

back on the field after all those. injuries. >> And we will certainly take their. information that they have to become a. better medical staff everywhere else. I. think if they have any secrets to take. care of these guys so quickly we would. like them to share that for the good of. >> Yeah. I'm like they got the worst luck. in America. There's a guy falling out on. every snap. I mean I'd never seen. nothing like that. So it was. >> Hey, hard edge. That's a hard edge is. back. you know, I can't keep up with it. That's good news. >> Something else. >> Yeah. Oh, was it? Yeah. Okay. Uh, watching your team, you talk about it.

being super physical. You had like a. super jumbo package. When did this come. to mind? How long have you been doing. this? I don't think I've seen this uh in. a while. >> Yeah, we had we had like 3,000 lbs of. beef going in. We actually did something. similar the last couple years at Jack. State. But then we had I got a couple. one lineman that uh Donovan has one. He's two two cheeseburgers away from. 400. and then another linebacker's a. cheeseburger away from 350. I'm like, hell, let's just, you know, BA will tell. you this, football is a game with big.

people moving other big people against. their will. So, I'm like, well, the more. big people we can have in there, the. better we have. So, the the formation's. called heavy, of course, right? Heavy. I. could call it just fat. They act. just our fat package, but uh but that. may not be politically correct, but. hell, who cares? But uh we called it. heavy to be politically correct. And uh. and so we have nine guys, but I'm trying. to get 10 guys. I might have one where. if I could find one of those fat guys. that could actually carry the ball, I'll.

have 10 guys in there. So that will be. the fat package and we'll hand it off. and block with all fat people. >> Well, that'll work. >> Yeah, actually Nico is not Nico's not. slim. He's 225 pounds. So he's on the. borderline of a quarterback being like. fat. So, uh, I say that, uh, in a kind. >> Yes, we all know you and your players. all understand at this moment, too. What. that is, anybody that's ever played for. you understands exactly what you're.

saying. That's. >> cuz that fat spelled P H A T. >> Yeah. Yeah. It's powerful. Yeah. Yeah. It's powerful. Yeah. Fat. Super cool, too, to do something new out there. Yeah. And if you get a 400 pounder with. a ball in his hands, I'll tell you what, college football people will celebrate. that. And uh I hope you're you know that. heavy package through the holidays. >> might become. >> you know Thanksgiving, Christmas, let. alone Halloween. Holy. >> Beast package. >> Yeah, there's and there's a lot that we. could sell from that and t-shirts we can.

make. You can imagine the marketing. things like you know let's get fat, you. know, let's go Mountaineers, let's get. fat and then you know let's. >> ph. AJ has a question for you coach. Yeah, coach, winning a big overtime game. against a rival like that, I guess, for. some of the younger guys and a lot of, like you said, so many new players. What. does it do for you guys confidence? I I. think like great teams have to find ways. to win that. You have to win many. different ways. You can't just be front. runners. You got to learn what it's like. to come from behind or win these close. ones, but what can you guys take from. that? Can they build a bunch of. confidence winning like this?

>> I think so. That was obviously anytime. you win you're going to get a little bit. of confidence but and then when you lose. you maybe lose a little bit of. confidence but I tell everybody what we. have to rely on is how what we do every. day. You know what the way our practices. goes. I tell our guys we're we're a. little unique in how we practice and. then we had good practices last week. You couldn't tell the difference between. last week's practice and and the week. before's practice. And I think that's. got to be who we are every day. We do. what we do. we we go how we go and. hopefully we can play well enough to win.

a game and keep playing and then you. know typical coach speak that you know I. tell the guys I told them before the. game it's going to be a game don't look. up at the scoreboard all right just keep. swinging keep playing as hard as you can. then after 60 minutes you can look up. well that was wrong it take more. than 60 minutes so I said it takes 60. minutes in overtime then look up the. scoreboard and see what happens they. truly I think they really did that they. just kept playing hard until the final. whistle. >> tell me about Nico he's obviously big. strong QB stuck around from last year. which I think we all appreciate. Then.

also Scotty Fox gets some burn at the. beginning of the second half there. I. don't think he played the week before. All those decisions what goes into it. and what are your thoughts on the. quarterback room? >> Well that's the other part you know. that's like you know most people say. well you take your quarterback out and. put another guy you're going to destroy. his confidence. Well yeah maybe. destroyed my confidence too you know. So. I think there's times where like our. quarter but people don't realize in. practice this is the way we roll our. quarterbacks and we roll in and out and. I tell them if you make a mistake or two. I'm not we're not going to pull you out.

just because you make a mistake or two. Sometimes we we're just going to try to. make a change and make a spark or maybe. it's a certain number of certain plays. that this quarterback can do really. well. And so Nico understood that. You. know when when he when he was taken out. it was to try to get a little spark with. Scotty but it was also because of a. couple different plays we wanted to run. And I wanted Nico and all the other. quarterbacks to stay engaged. Well, he. did. He didn't go pout and like, "Gee, whiz," you know, he stayed ready. He. stayed engaged. And then when six. minutes ago, whatever it was in the. game, said, "Hey, Nico, you're in. It's.

your time to go get it." He he attacked. it like like the like the person he is. And and it was a great lesson for all of. us, for all of our players to see how. engaged he stayed in. Made a couple. great throws and like that seam throw. right there and led us to victory. >> Yeah. You know, you've been very open. seemingly about liking the whole. quarterback room. Anybody that knows you. though with how competitive you are, uh, you want somebody in that quarterback. room and take that job. You would like. somebody to become the guy in that room. I would assume, not 100% sure, but I. would assume that is the case. >> Oh, you're Yeah, you're 100% right. You.

know, somebody to kind of seize it and. grab it and and you know, we hadn't. really seen that yet, but maybe in the. last 6 minutes, Nico is taking that. step, you know, which is really neat to. see. But I want those other. quarterbacks, you know, Pat, to be as. competitive like, shoot, I'm not done. competing with this thing. We got a lot. of games, a lot of football left. It's. still going to be wide open. So, but at. least for one day, Nico took charge. At. least for one quarter, Nico took charge. And that's a positive sign. >> Yeah, it definitely is. Big time win, a. big time moment. I think it was the most.

people that have been in the stadium in. years and years and years. Obviously, the checkered was awesome. The. environment looked electrifying. I wish. I could have been there. Ollie Straw, your punter. Did you see that catch he. made? >> I didn't I knew it was a bad snap and he. had made a great catch, but then after I. saw a picture of it, it was like that's. got to be like a specialist like poster. thing kind of deal. >> Yes, definitely. Special all football. players, not just specialist. Okay, that that's two points right. there. You almost lose all the Yeah, he.

leaves. >> and he was he changed the field, too. They had good returners and his location. on his punts was next level. So, it was. uh yeah, it was it was really neat. And. it was neat about the crowd. I tell. everybody there was 60,000. That's what. the stadium holds. I think there was. actually about 65,000 there because. there like 4,000 in the end zone. But 10. years from now, there'll be 600,000 that. say they were there. >> Amen. >> That kind of atmosphere. >> On that note, BA's got a question for.

you. >> Yeah, coach. Do you think this is going. to be the hardest week you have as a. coach? I know going back when I was at. Temple, we had a big win and you know. the guys didn't come down till Thursday. Well, that's too late. We just missed. two days. And uh get your guys I know. you probably already had one good. practice and how's the practice going. the rest of the week? >> Yeah, that's a perfect point, BA. It's. like yesterday we we go we have one day. off. It's Mondays for them. So Sunday we. had a walk through and I could tell they. were still high off the game kind of. deal and and excited and we turned the.

page a little bit. But Tuesday and. Wednesday, today's practice, tomorrow's. practices is get after it. And so I may. I don't mind yelling anyway, but I. probably a feeling that I'll probably be. I'll be into today's practice in their. grill a little bit if if I need to. It. doesn't bother me at all, but so today. and tomorrow will be the true test. But. you're right, this will be the. challenge. And and uh I didn't bother me. at all. >> I can't wait for you to the patent on. your back. They can stab you with Yeah. the whole. >> pat him on the ass, sit in the hand, that kind of deal. Yeah.

>> Yeah. It's going to be one of those. days. Yeah, it's going to be Yeah. Yep. >> Get this down my back. Tell me it's. raining. All that kind of stuff. Yep. >> Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Headlines. Oh. Oh, look who's good. Somebody's a good. football player. Oh, Nico. Oh, yeah. I. cannot I I hope you're miked up today. Obviously, Raquel will control what gets. out and what does not get out. I think. she's doing a great job, by the way. You. should tell her that. And I saw Miss. Rita celebrating thereafter. I think. that was probably a big win for her as. well, if I had to guess, for the entire. family there. Yeah, the family was there. and and we, you know, the family was.

here was nice and I had some buddies of. mine that came from Arizona, some. buddies of mine from from from the town. and we smoked uh BA we smoked some good. cigars till about midnight and then we. all realized, damn, we're hungry. I. hadn't ate since 8 8:00 a.m. and like. what the hell's open and so there's an. Applebee's like a mile away at 12:00 and. the thankfully the chef was still there. So we kind of barged in there and ate. some Applebees at 12:00 at night. Had a. grand time. I'll tell you what, if you. have an Applebees that has a chef.

>> a cook, maybe. a bartender, the main thing over be. we're having a good time out here. Hey, who sent me Somebody sent me a video. from your cigar smoking session. I don't. have the number saved, but uh it it. looked like it was a great time. You. guys were literally I I got a video from. it from a number I do not have saved. I. was so happy you were enjoying the. moment, though. I want to let you know. that when I. >> Yeah. You know, I probably all coaches. you you you try to move on to the next. one, but like for four or five. hours after that one, I wasn't thinking.

about anybody or anything other than my, you know, my friends and and what just. happened. >> Yeah. Let's go to Alpha Be sure. >> Hell yeah. >> It's good enough for MCDC. It's good. enough for me. Let's go to Let's go to. Hammer Todd. Todd AP Todd has a question. for you, coach. >> Yeah, coach. Earlier we were talking. with BA how and how he uh kind of split. up the season into quarters. You guys uh. just ended non-conference. you're about. to get into your tough conference. schedule. So, does your does your. thinking does your how you're coaching. the kids, does that change at all? How.

do you break up the season now that. you're into the conference schedule? >> Yeah, for us it worked out just. perfectly with our three non-conference. games being in the first quarter. And I. said, the first quarter is over. There. was some good, some bad, a lot of stuff. that we're learning, get better from. And now we have our conference play on. the road and we play a team that's. really athletic. had an open day, two. weeks to get ready, you know, in a at a. home opener for them in the in the. conference. So, it's going to be it's. going to be a big challenge. So, maybe. being on the road, I think we're. somebody already said we're like 14point.

underdogs or something like that. So, you know what? We go out there and got. something to prove again this weekend. >> Oh, I think somebody said we're uh two. touchdown. I think somebody said, did. somebody say somebody said that? Yeah, the boys will know that that we got no. chance this week. >> We got no chance, you know. I hope we. can get a first down, you know. I hope. that uh you know, everybody comes out of. the game healthy. Uh that kind of deal. >> Be a fun trip out there. Beautiful. campus, too. They got a great big. investment from their uh boosters. >> They have a huge huge investment. You. could tell what $300 million donation or.

something and and they've they're. they're putting it back in their. athletic program. So, it's uh it's neat. >> Yeah. Hopefully, you guys will be able. to compete out there. Ty actually has a. question about that. >> Yeah. Coach, on that note, uh Pete. Famble put out a tweet, I think. yesterday, that basically said, "Hey, West Virginia has uh they've pledged. that they're going to be in the top. funding tier of the Big 12." Like, obviously, as a coach, that's a big part. of it now is, you know, not only the. recruiting, but the fundraising. Was. there a conversation there where it was. just like, "Hey, listen, we can we can.

say whatever we want, but at the end of. the day, like, if we can't compete. moneywise, then guess what? Like, we're. not going to compete for Big 12. championships." And how good does this. feel knowing that you have the pledge. from the university that's like, you. know what, we're going to take care of. that aspect. >> Yeah, you got to be as a coach, you want. everybody to be aligned in in the same. thinking, you whether it's your. administration, your board, your. coaches, your players, and everybody. like that. And we're running a business. now. Let's let's be honest. And it's. it's a business, and it's an expensive. business. And and if you want to compete.

at the highest level, you got to make an. investment financially. And and that's. why I feel good about our. administration. I feel about good about. our board is they know that that's. what's got to happen and you're seeing. what's happening at Virginia Tech and. and you know they're trying to do the. same. They're trying to get everybody. aligned the same way. I'm just blessed. that we're aligned here and that we got. great support and we got people like Pat. and everybody else that that loves this. school that's going to help us compete. in this new era that we're going to be. in because we're in we're running a. business now and we we've got to we've.

got to have the financial resources to. compete at the highest level. On that. note, this logo is beautiful. Goes great. on a hat. You can certainly buy any of. these hats. They are available. everywhere. And the fat package shirts, phen. >> Yeah, that'll certainly be available as. well around the holidays. Maybe some. Black Friday specials if you need it. Like, uh, you have had that mindset. though. And I think it's maybe because. you're at Jack State or whatever. Like, hey, we got to drum up. We got to do. this. We got to run this as a business. I think you've been very forward. thinking in this entire thing. And is. that because you're from had to go.

through a smaller school in this era and. keep it all or why do you think you are. that way? >> I I think just more than anything Pat. every coach would say what what do I got. to do to win? You know what what what. does it take to win? Used to be well you. got to recruit at high level which. obviously you still got to do. You got. to evaluate a high level. Now you better. make sure you evaluate the right ones if. you're going to pay them a certain. amount of money. And you got to be able. to have you know schemes that can help. you win if if you're competitive enough. like what's the rules? What what are the. rules that we got to have that follow?

And then how do we take advantage of. these rules to be as good as we can be? What does it take to win? What does it. take to win? It's as simple as that. What does it take to win? And and if you. don't press that part as a coach and. just say, "Well, tell me this is all we. got and just accept it, then you know, you're not going to be coaches that. think they can outsmart people and win. because they're going to be smarter than. you are going to be the ones that aren't. going to be doing it for long. You. better know what the hell you're doing, but you also better have a whole lot of. help to get you there, if that makes. sense. >> Yeah, absolutely. And I'm excited to see.

what you grow out there at Hard Edge is. back. Preked it this past weekend. And. on that note, with the everchanging. everything, it's uh a whole new world. than it was maybe 30 years ago, 20 years. ago, 10 years ago. Go ahead, Debb. >> Yeah, we're talking about much more of a. business now than ever, but uh more. important anything, we talked about it. kind of with the Pittsburgh Steelers and. that defense is the trust and kind of. that team building. How do you kind of. expedite or speed up that process with. all these new players and now like you. said entering into this conference play. now? How do you do that in this era? >> Yeah, everybody says, "Well, nowadays.

you can't coach the guys as hard as they. can't as you want to because they're. getting paid and they can transfer." I'm. like, "You can coach them harder because. they're getting paid." You know, I mean, they got they got more to lose now if if. they're not playing or if they're not, you know, making maximizing their their. abilities. And so I tell our guys. sometimes you you know you got to tell. them why you're getting on their ass a. little bit or and all that where in the. past you just tell them and they they'd. follow you. But uh we our culture I told. our coaches and it's still true cuz we.

know there's going to be some tough. moments in this first year or so. I said. we cannot do we cannot sacrifice our. culture. We can't ever lie have a guy be. lazy and soft and not say something or a. guy not do his best and let it go. because we're afraid to hurt his. feelings or afraid of whatever a. financial ramification might be he might. be leaving whatever you got to have the. right process and the right culture no. matter who it is. And once they. understand that and they're part of it, then they'll be the ones that help you.

make sure that's help held every day. that the new guys that right now they're. all new. So everybody's got to learn it, but eventually it'll be just a handful. of new guys every year that have to. learn the way we do stuff. >> Do you have anybody hosting any. camaraderie building cookouts at the end. of training camp? any of those types of. uh situations, you know, that uh maybe. the entire city comes to and uh you. know, the football team celebrates in a. front yard with the entire campus at the. end of training camp. Any of that type. of stuff happening? >> No. Hell, when I when our guys get two.

an hour or two of free time, I I realize. they like to have their free time. I. don't have a lot of long long meetings. I don't have a lot of long talks or. anything like that. It's like, you know, most of the guys I talk to, hey, you got. a couple hours free time, that's. valuable to you. Go have your free time. >> Yeah. And and maybe have a party, too. Let the boys enjoy. Don't be setting any. couches on fire, though. They're finding. kids. All right. We finding you. Yeah. >> Yeah. They're We don't like. >> I don't like money being taken out of. anybody's pockets. Certainly have a good. time, but also protect the city. Okay. We appreciate the hell out of you,

coach. We will continue digitally uh on. YouTube, ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, and Tik. Tok Live. We'll see you tomorrow. Have a. good one. Goodbye. You see that? There. was a You see that countdown at the. bottom? Oh, good wave. Look at you. You. hit a wave. We're still live. We're still live. still live. That is a. good wave though. That looked very very. natural there. Yeah. Yeah. >> Presidential wave. >> Yeah. Just trying to get a first down. and nail the wave. >> on the on the way out of the entire. thing. Uh coach, I I was so happy.

watching the end of that game. There a. lot of moments where I wasn't. Um and. then Ohio obviously the week before like. what a gut punch to the entire thing. And and I think AJ was trying to. reference this as well. After you win. and you prove that your style can win, players more naturally buy in. I think. like I I think it's like our hard work. paid off. Like when you see success for. all the that you're going through, you're more naturally to want to. continue to do that, I think. So.

whenever a game like Ohio happens, and I. think they got a great team. Navaro gets. hurt against Ohio State. That's a whole. different whole different story. If he. doesn't get hurt, I think they're a good. team. But a game like that can be. devastating to a build of a culture. I. think from outside looking in, especially with what it was with Neil. Brown versus what your culture is, I. think it can create or generate a. potential a lot of people going, I'm not. doing all this It's not working. After that pick game, was there a sense. of like justification or fulfillment. maybe from the boys from all the hard. work? Cuz I know the is not easy. compared to anything else that they've.

done in the past. >> I I think so because of just some, you. know, being in the locker room, you. know, there's nothing like a winning. locker room. You guys all know that. the. win locker. But the number of guys, players that came up to me and was say. was hugging me and saying, "Coach, I. just absolutely love it here. I love. what we're doing." You know what I mean? That was unprompted. They didn't have to. say that. And and I told her, "Guys, it's not totally ingrained in in the in. the program like it needs to be." I. mean, it's getting there and I got a. great staff and everything like that, but it's it's still a process to get it.

to where the hard edge, if that's what. you want to call it, mentality is. ingrained in our guys every day, every. minute of every day, no matter, you. know, the game or whatever it is. And. that that's the process that we got to. go through that's going to one game's. not going to change that, but one game. sure and hell can make a difference. And. I think that's what this game should be. able to do for us. >> How about you? Oh, we're getting after it out there. Letting the boys know we got a little. wiggle. We got a little wiggle under. this West Virginia Southern Hick accent.

in here. >> Yeah, we don't we don't dance on TikTok, but in the in the winning locker room, we'll dance our ass off. >> Cheers, Bears, Mountaineers. Congrats. It was great to watch you and uh I'm. happy you're enjoying the moment while. also understanding we got to get a first. down against a team that's two touchdown. favorites against us. >> Touchdown. Yep. >> Two touchdowns. >> at Kansas. At Kansas. >> Two TDs. two touchdowns. We'll be ready. >> You're the man, ladies and gentlemen. Head coach of the West Virginia. Mountaineer football team, Rich.

Rodriguez. >> Y. >> Thank you. He's. >> Yeah, he's hilarious, dude. >> Hilarious. >> Love him. >> The fat the fat thing. >> That was incredible. >> And the reason why I enjoyed it so much. is because hearing him say that about. somebody in real time in practice is one. of the most I I would assume scary. things for said fat person. Uh, but also. from everybody else, hilarious delivery. And like the reason why I think sports.

coaches feel this is because being in. shape is a massive piece of Rich. Rodriguez's entire thing. Like the. reason why those guys were uh hurt so. often is because West Virginia is. running. Like you got to be in good. shape to be a part of that offense. Like. that is just what it is. All offseason I. think they only did six hills at Law. School Hill. We're doing like 12 of. those back in the day. big guys Deant. like every like we are conditioned this. team I stopped playing soccer. okay had way more offers to play soccer. than I did for football only had a few.

for football after kicking camp down in. Florida after I win it and I'm like you. know what got a strong leg the thing I. don't love about soccer is having to run. seven miles you know I'm a little heavy. my knees it's not my I love kicking a. ball though like I enjoy boom football. this is this is the avenue and I. get dropped into the West Virginia. football strength and conditioning. program uh two month or a month out of. high school during before the season. starts and I'm running more than I've. ever run in my entire I mean we are.

people are puking around me and I'm. still in soccer shape so I look good at. all these things but I remember thinking. to myself like this is way worse. yeah than soccer ever was this is a. nightmare and that's like a part. of what Richard's thing is hard edge is. like we're going to be uh we're going to. be in better shape than you we're going. to be tougher than you and we are just. going to pound the out That is the. mindset that he is trying to create. So. whenever he calls a guy fat ass, that. that is a you are the entire. team. You or you right there because we. can't depend on you. Now I assume he's.

going to say it's cuz the modern. generation. We still got guys that just. stay fat somehow. So him having to use. All right. You want to be fat? You think. that's we'll put you in back? >> I want 10 fatsos out here. Just meat. moving meat is what he said. I feel like. whenever he thought of the idea, he had. such an epiphany. >> Yeah. >> Yes. All these fats are now for good, not for bad. What he means though is. heavy and can move. And he's not scared.

to do that. He'll do that right down the. entire field. That was my first time. seeing him do that. And as soon as I saw. it have success, I'm like, Rich will run. that play 30 straight times in from his. own goal line all the way to your goal. line if it works. Cuz that's like what. he wants to do. >> What a coach. you know him obviously. through a lot of different situations. and he was out Arizona whenever you were. coaching the Cardinals and obviously. mentioned the lake out there in Georgia. that a lot of you guys live on and it. sounds like a great time but he I think. in the football world also a lot of. respect for everything he's done the.

spread offense that we ran back at West. Virginia I think he started all the way. back at Glennville State maybe in the. entirety like. >> he invented tempo. >> okay. >> people talk about tempo they're all c. they're all copying Rich Rod I mean that. that's the guy that said we're not. stopping next plays up let's go let's go. let's go and all these young coaches, okay, this is the way to play football. And it's kind of just took over college. football. And uh he's always been. successful. He's always been a great. coach. >> He's a dog, too. >> Yeah. >> Every day he's a dog. 5:30 a.m. he's on. the stepper in the middle of the weight.

room. So when you roll in there at 5:40. for your 6 a.m. workout, there's a guy. already glistening in the back. He's got. a towel over his shoulders and it is a. max difficulty, max speed and you just. see him back there and it's like that is. the one that's leading the pack here. He. was supposed to be a drill instructor. He was supposed to be especially his way. with words. He can piece swear words. together better than anybody in history. And I did wonder if the modern era would. be good for Rich Rod or not. I thought.

maybe he wouldn't be able to coach. And. the way he talks is like maybe not all. guys, but like our guys, they you rally. around that. >> Oh, definitely. Man, these these kids. love discipline. They really do. >> Some the guys that are great. >> Yes. And and they just don't. them. >> Don't them. Rich is always. going to say the truth. >> It's going to hurt, but he's going to. hug you later and uh and make sure. you're okay. But uh if you're a fat ass, you ain't going to be one for long. >> Or you're not going to be a part of the. program. >> One of the two. You're going to be a.

part of the four offense, four. touchdowns that we score with your. package. >> But literally, you're in there just as a. shield. A meat shield literally for. everybody else. But he is. >> Hey yo, >> I almost got 3,000 lb. >> What's going on? >> A meat shield is crazy in his head. When. he drew that up, >> it was big circle. What is that? That's. our fat ass offensive lineman. What's. that? That's another one. What's that. one Three. What? 90.

>> cheeseburger away. put him right there. >> Behind another one. what? What's that one rookie. that? Yep. Put him there. And then somebody was like, "Coach, there's six more." I know. We're. putting them here. We're putting them. here. Putting them here. Then we're stacking them here. and here. And then what are you going to. do with the ball? We're going to. run it is what we're going to do. What. do you mean? >> And they did it. >> Yeah. >> They they this thing showed up on on my. television screen and I started dying. laughing. I'm like, of course, the tush. push now is just it's evolving.

>> Take me off the field. >> You. >> get another backer here. Get another. safety here. Get me out. >> The beauty the beauty would be one of. them pass to catch. >> Yes. >> And he'll catch touchdown pass if he. blocks really well. >> Well, and also if he got a guy Yeah. He'll give him a little treat. Hey, hey, you do this good treat. >> You do this good. You You'll do one of. these. >> Be the old fridge. >> And then all of a sudden we got one of. these right at the back of the end zone. because everybody's coming up. It's But. that's gonna be a few weeks of just. >> Oh, yeah. Pinding.

>> lot of this right there. Kansas, he. loves that they're two touchdown. underdogs. >> A lot. >> Just gonna try. Yeah, they got 300. million. He knew exactly. >> Yeah, I think they got $300 million. donation. I think they got Lance Lipole, great coach out there. Yeah, they got it. all figured out. Two be It's a home. opener. It's going to be a great. environment. Yeah. >> Quarterback to stop, too. Hell of a. quarterback to stop. >> Six year Jaylen there. Is he Did he get. hurt? >> No, >> I don't believe so. No, there's other. other Jaylen games. >> Jay D. >> There's a lot of lot of names. Lot of. names.

>> It is especially I'll tell you what game. day beginning of the season. >> boy is swimming once. Every once I know. the last name. >> and I think I know what the first name. sounds like and then I'm like not going. with it. Going with last name. Not not. not doing it. And it's like that those. decisions are happening every single. sentence, you know, just as we go. That. is a lot of fun to learn about all the. new storylines. It like game day. literally get the rundown on Friday for. what the show is going to be or whatever. and then Friday night is just like.

what team am I learning about tonight or. teams and then like watching all the. movement that has taken place and all. the things that have happened. It's so. much fun to learn all these storylines. I think the NIO and the transfer portal. is making the sport more electrifying, you know, and I think free agency. obviously is something in the NFL that. is highly regarded. Free agency frenzy. is one of the biggest days of our. offseason. It's a Monday, it's at noon, >> we got counterprogrammed.

>> uh because maybe we couldn't handle it. or something like that, but that's how. big of a day it is in the world in. college. if they're able to get this. free agency right, okay, and they have a. window that is actually a part of it. Now, you're talking about college. football having a similar to the NFL. football of a year- round, you know, they can they can set up this calendar. where college football can start. becoming year round excitement as well. I think we're just at the beginning. I. know college football has a lot of. tradition, been around a long time. It. is incredible. We are very lucky that we.

get a chance to be a part of college. football at all. We I feel that way. We. feel that way as a whole with the amount. of history pageantry tradition. It is. different than any other sport in. America. It is the greatest cult sports. cults in the world is college football. is hooligans and soccer. I get it. It's. your entire town. I agree. You guys are. very passionate and very entertaining. That's like what 40,000 max 30,000. 40,000 max. >> uh the bigger stadiums they're growing. but not up to 100,000. No, >> we got m 102,000.

uh is what Tennessee was. It's the. eighth largest in the world. It's the. third largest in the SEC. So it's like. the college fans are just like insane. So I don't want to say that we're just. at the beginning of what could be for. college football because obviously. there's deep history a lot of it but. it's like in this modern world I think. what college football is going to be a. it's only going to ratings up 21% week. one probably another 20% week two it's. like they can al this free agency. >> has made teams good out of nowhere.

>> and has a lot of storylines kind of. develop on it like song of politelli's. free agency. >> is going to be. must follow. >> anywhere he wants to go. >> and it's like that he's not the only one. there's going to be other guys in there. College football has a chance here, I. think, to be not. >> I'm not saying it hasn't had a chance, but I'm just saying can really cement. itself as the number two sport in the. world. Like NFL, soccer, I know. I mean, you get it. Number two sport in America. by far is like NFL football number one, college football number two, and then.

everything else. I think we're in a good. time for ball. >> Yeah. I hope they made the right. decision. Like I feel like it's kind of. right there very plain and simple. U but. you mentioned like the college football. history. I just worry about the NCAA. Like there has never been a time where. there's been like ah NCAA has done a. good thing again. You know that's. >> Yeah. But we're in a new era. We are. with the same people up new Charlie. >> Charlie Baker. Yes. Great. Um I got no. faith unfortunately. But. >> yeah but they might have no say.

>> Yeah. Yeah. Well hopefully they don't. get pushed. >> out. Listen to be this is the first time. he spoke about this 20 years as a. college coach. >> They have no say. NCAA is basically. toast. I mean, it's going to be the Big. 10, Big SEC, whatever the other two. conferences, those commissioners are. taking over football. >> Yeah. But when are those TV contracts up. again? We just looked at this. Like, they might be toast, but it's still. another. >> time 32. Yeah. But I mean, NCAA ain't. telling to Sanki and those they're. running. They're running college. football now.

>> NCAA coming up to Sanki. We're going to. need you to look into what's school. I'm. gonna need you to look into a lot of. other. >> Shut the up about that. Don't. listen. We got to discover. >> Yeah. What do you guys run? Oh, the one. that everybody hates. We are the one. that everybody Why don't you let us. maybe look into this? Petiti also with. the Big 10. >> Incredibly uh I think good at his job, but also knows that he has a lot of say. in power. I believe Sanki and Petiti on. the same side of a lot of things, a lot. of issues. I think they understand that. Big 12 commissioner, I I think he.

>> he's in it, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He's in it with Seni. >> And the ACC commissioner, there was one. drive down North Carolina where they. were almost the strongest conference in. all of football. >> That's right. >> And uh he knew that. >> Still got Florida State and Miami in. there. So. >> Agreed. Agreed. Agreed. >> I don't think Clemson's dead, but. they're close. >> They're dead, Bruce. >> Yeah, >> that boy is dead. >> I don't I think he can stay at Clemson. for however long he wants. And who knows. what the future looks like post Cade.

Clubick, I think. How many years is this. last year for Cade Clubick? It's got to. be. It's been there for 10. >> Yeah. >> I just hope it's Davos. >> To be honest, it's only his third year. starting. Did he start as a true. freshman is what I'm trying to say. >> Yes, he did. Remember, I mean, I guess. he could actually. >> DJ, he took over for DJ. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Let's go one more year down here. >> That's right. >> It just be sweet for a fresh start. Like, I think it'd be like not, you. know, hey, do you know it's time to go. run him out of town, but more so like. splitting for both of them. Like, hey, this has been fun. I think maybe I.

should go back home to Alabama and coach. the Tide and then see what happens. >> Clemson still has everything in front of. him. They're the reigning ACC champs, okay? Is what Davo would say. Can we all. relax real quick? >> Bam ain't dead either. >> Yeah, Bama ain't dead either. >> We've seen it. >> We see Ryan Williams on that. >> That was. >> I've seen Ryan Williams do a lot of. stuff. >> Yeah, this this field. >> You seen him do this right here? >> I've seen him do this. Yeah. Does he. have. >> two guys that Big 10?

>> Does he have Wisconsin stinks? >> Did you see that? They were counting. this as a part of the Big 10 SEC. football battle. >> Yeah. Were. >> you seeing it? >> Yeah. And it wasn't. I mean, like, >> did you see that, AJ? >> Yeah. I don't know. I mean, technically, it is. >> That's Big 10 SEC class, >> but he know But AJ knows, too. Like, when he was playing, like when I was in. school, too, like Wisconsin was awesome. Like, they've sucked for five years. >> They were scary. They were scary back in. the day. Their offense was awesome. They. were mean and they ran the ball. >> Okay. So, I understand what you all are. saying and for that reason what you're.

saying about Wisconsin being a. perennial, you know, through it all. They were viewing this as SEC Big 10. They put it on the stats. They said this. is if we're going to keep score here. between the North and the South in. football. Wisconsin's representing the. Big 10. That's what they said. >> No, I get it. Let's let's let's keep. track in December. Okay. Let's keep Let's keep track when. it matters, not week two, week. three, you know? I mean, who gives a. Well, they're saying the SEC, >> they all matter. >> Oklahoma got a big win. >> I get it. Do we want to look back at.

what Ohio State they did to Tennessee. when it mattered most. They. embarrassed them like you would not. believe. And that was kind of our whole. thing was, hey, this is cool. This kind. of when it's hot outside when it's, you know, negative temperatures and you. got to go up north and there's maybe. snow on the ground and maybe the. ground's frozen. Is it the same thing? >> So, that is an interesting conversation. piece that's going to start around. college football playoff. and I will. certainly be a part of it where the. conversation has always been the SEC. teams far superior. Okay, we got 300.

plus thousand stadiums down here, places. packed out. History of football down. here during co you guys didn't want to. play. You remember Big 10 said we're not. playing. Kevin Warren, president of the. Chicago Bears said us and the Ivy League. aren't playing. Everybody should give us. a round of applause. Greg Sanki said, "Hold the applause for me then. We're. playing football." So that's the. difference between SEC and Big 10 is how. people in the SEC feel. Then you start. looking at the five stars and where a. lot of these recruits come from. The SEC. for a long time has said if they were to. play, what would the sports book say are.

the favorites strictly off the rosters. What has now been entered into uh. evidence is well maybe you can't have 11. fivestar 4-2 runners on the field for. Big 10 teams because it becomes four. degrees outside and uh football is a. little bit different. So, whenever. you're judging rosters, does the 42 4-3. across the board matter as much because. the Big 10 team saying, "Are you able to. run like that when it's frozen?" And. also,

when we start hitting you in this. freezing, does it matter? Two different. footballs. >> Yeah, >> these are two different styles of. football completely that have to be. judged at the end of the day on who's. better, that is a wild scene. Cuz if. Ohio State has to go down to Tennessee, what happens? >> Yeah, they might they might get stomped. Who knows? I mean, I doubt it. I think. Ohio State. >> I think Ohio State Ohio State's the one. that team. >> Yeah, exactly. They were the one team. >> Just look at the two quarterbacks. >> Yeah. >> I mean, come on. Will Howard versus. >> Yeah, but at that time Willard the. forgotten man. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Nico Yamalava.

>> Forgotten man. He's looking transfer. again. >> But Ohio State is also one of those. teams who who could compete in the SEC, you know, like they're an school. >> in the north. Yeah. Which is what. everybody talks about. But it's. >> that Northern football who gets a home. field. It makes a difference. It is a. huge. >> or it's a different world. It's a. different sport. Like think about like. think about playing in September and 72. degree weather compared to what we were. at at Ohio State when they play. Tennessee. Like there's some guys that. the second they walk out on your team, they walk out of that tunnel for.

warm-ups and they're already done. They. already quit. Like, well, I hope. somebody else makes a play cuz I'm sure. as hell not making anything today. Like. that's that legit happens. >> Never playing those games. >> Go ahead. We almost never had like. really really because you know season. will be over once you go bowl season. like those are in warm weather uh states. and cities for the most part. So you. never I played at Yukon and I I rarely. played in like snow. I don't think I. ever played in a snow game or like below. 20° or anything like that. So yeah, it. changes everything. and then in NIL as. well that kind of I think killed the.

SEC's you know. >> coach S talked about that about how the. territorial advantage that the SEC had. with the amount of dudes coming out of. different states pockets South Carolina. Lana. Florida obviously in a big way Georgia. Tyler Atinson we just met him he's what. 6'4 225 as a high schooler it's like. these pockets of talent across the south. that exist obviously and obviously the. north has places as well But they used. to want to stay home. Want to stay home. Want to stay around family. Want to kind.

of represent? Now Penn State shows up. and goes, "Home home's cool, right? We. can we can build a new home, can't we?". >> How much money they offer? We got. >> I don't know, 2 million more a year. Is. that what you want? We can get it. Yeah, sure. We'll build. Yeah. Your family. come up. We got a house for them, too. Now all of a sudden, you're close to. home. >> Yeah. >> Now you got a new home and it's Happy. Valley. Congratulations. We're paying. Oregon. You ever been west of Alabama? Nope. You ever been western, Mississippi? Nope. Come on out here. Fly. all the way out here.

>> Come on out. This is Uncle Phil. He. founded uh Nike. >> These are all the uniforms you're going. to be wearing. This is the Nike deal. you'll have whenever you become an NFL. player. And oh yeah, we can move your. family out here and this is the amount. of money that we are willing to pay you. if you would like to do that. I don't. know what LSU is offering. I know Brian. Kelly is a great ball coach and. everything like that, but we're just. telling you this is also an option. It. It has evened the playing field. >> Oh yeah, >> definitely. >> It's changed it totally. Changed it. totally. >> Yeah. I think I'm excited for the. college football playoff cheddar, especially if Notre Dame goes on a run. >> Yeah,

>> can't do it. I I. >> They win out. >> by 40 every game. They got USC, they got. Pit still. They got Stanford. Uh Boston. College by 40. They went out by and they. win some of these big ones. They're in. >> What big ones? USC, >> man. USC. >> The Jewel Chile game. >> Syracuse. >> Pit Pit's a big game, right? >> They're very good. Pit is very good. USC. loses two games and that game is done. >> Yep. >> But they're not going to People are. saying USC not being treated uh how with.

enough respect. >> I bet their schedule is much tougher. than this if we look at uh their their. side of it in the Big 10. >> AJ, to what you said there about them. getting in, that is exactly what Tone. said as well. If they win all these. games on prime time television, everybody sees it. It's going to be hard. at the end of the year to be like to win. a fight or there's going to be too many. people fighting for the Irish Catholics, I would assume. >> Yes. >> But they need a lot of these teams to. win games. They got to score 40 once. before they gonna do it twice. >> Yeah, >> that's what they got to do though, coach. That's what they gota do.

>> Carrying games water. >> Uh Tone, is that what you're saying? Tone was carrying a lot of us. >> What are you saying? We're saying no way. they get in. >> You're saying that? >> Tone saying they're Yeah, Tone, you're. saying they're in, huh? >> I mean, it's the exact same as last. year, so I I don't know what they made. it last year, right? Am I wrong? >> They lose. Who were the two last year. they lost to? They No, they only lost to. Northern Illinois. So, yes, one loss. versus two, but I I think a loss to. Miami and A&M is better than one loss to. Northern Illinois, >> depending upon how Miami and Texas A&M.

end up. >> They Miami is Let's say Miami one loss. or undefeated, which is definitely. doable. And then&M's got three. >> I like Texas A&M's team. >> Mhm. >> I thought everybody was going to pick. him over Notre Dame. I I think I don't. know if I told a story on the show or. not. I walk into production room, give. picks, and I'm like Texas&M over Notre. Dame. Is everybody picking that? Like, nobody's picking that. Cool. >> All right. Okay. Wait a minute. Nobody. This is uh Yeah, nobody like holy.

Georgia Tech ever Clemson. Everybody's. feeling this way. Nope. Holy. Obviously, West Virginia ever pit. There's a couple people that coach. Sabin's got to be pulling for West. Virginia. Nope. He's picking pit, too. What? Everybody's picking. Holy. Boy, it would have been nice if. Tennessee wins that game. >> Mhm. You know, because they posted this. said, "Hey, he went lone wolf multiple. times and actually got it right." And. then the comments immediately were just, "Who's that coming down the track?" Oh, what did he say about the uh Tennessee.

Georgia game? What did he pick? Did he. pick the Bulldogs? Did he uh did he pick. Georgia to beat Tennessee? No, he picked. Tennessee. him. That's what. everybody said. And they're right. They're 100% right. We got to make that. kick. We can't. I felt so bad for that kid. >> Hypo 5 penalty. 7 seconds left. just. kick it at 7 seconds. What are we doing? What what what Hypo will learn obviously. from that situation going forward. But. if you go out to run a play with 7. seconds, I guess to get it down below 5. seconds, so it's definitely in the last. play of the game or whatever. So you.

have a walk-off. I get it. But if a. penalty happens, I think you got to. commit to the bit there. I think you got. to throw that out of bounds. I. think you got to get the bad juju from. the penalty away from the field goal. kicking operation right there. Personally. >> Yeah. Just take the ball, throw it out. of bounds, kill four seconds. >> Boom. Then get the kicker to come out. You don't throw it to anybody. Just. throw it out of bounds. >> Yeah. Because it's not after a penalty. A penalty backing up is the worst thing. that can happen for a kicker. Ball. moving further away. You got a harder. shot. So, I think you just need to. separate that from even if a nothing.

play. I think you just need to separate. from the vibes. But, nonetheless, make. the kick and they win. Tennessee still. very good at football this year. That. was a fun game to electrifying game. And. that kicker bounced back in overtime and. hit the same kick. Proud of them for. doing that. But uh that was a great game. that I thought Tennessee was going to. win and inevitably Kirby Smart still got. the dogs down there in Georgia. >> Pretty crazy. It happened to Saga. Politelli's team in Cal the the u they. were playing the Gophers Minnesota and. they were in like a dog fight. It was. 000 um or 7 nothing with like a minute. left and Minnesota scores and Cal trying.

to you know score right before the half. They go all the way down. There's seven. seconds on the clock and they just run a. fiveyard out, get, you know, a little. extra room and then they make a field. goal like barely by doing that. And it's. like that situation happened on I I want. to say it was Friday night, not Saturday. night, but it might have been Saturday. But just thinking of that and then not. happening on uh Tennessee the biggest. Yeah. In the biggest game, you would. think. >> Yeah. But you got to remember all that's. happening so quick. All that shit's. happening so quick. It is like very much.

in the moment. You don't expect somebody. to fall start. >> like, "Hey, there's seven seconds left, bro. Let's not What are we What. are we doing here?". Georgia Tech. We didn't even. talk about that. Their fire drill. >> One of the best. >> The them running out to beat uh Clemson. >> Perfect. Perfect execution. Georgia. Tech, by the way. I love. >> Awesome. >> What they are cooking out there. Yeah. 23 seconds uh at this time. Third and. four. Fourth quarter. You got no. timeouts. No, you got to run a NASCAR. situation. Fire drill is whenever. there's a bad snap. NASCAR here. Uh.

going to have full time to take steps. probably. Yep. Takes a little three. steps back. Going to be a big one here, brother. To beat Clemson in front of. your crowd. 55 yd. Snap. Hold. Give me. that. What a kick. What a win. What a. game for Georgia Tech. And I would like. to let the world know or reiterate what. I said on Saturday. Hannes King doing. that interview with us while he was. spinning it in the middle of his.

warm-ups, keeping his train of thought. while also communicating with wide. receivers on what routes to run and the. person getting him the ball. This guy, this is a Sunday guy. >> Yeah, >> that felt like a Sunday guy whenever I. was watching that and I literally was. picking Clemson and then we did that. interview and immediately afterwards I'm. like I'm betting on that guy right there. to beat them. I like the cut of his jib. I like what Georgia Tech has become down. there. Uh, Coach Key's done a hell of a. job and uh, man, we just go back to that. Georgia game last year. What, six. overtimes, whatever it was. >> Yeah,

>> that that was almost the get the program. changer. I think this game's the program. changer for Tech. >> I think him coming in on game day and. having that interview uh, made me a much. This was awesome. I mean, he was just so. casual. >> I love when you guys do this. One of my. favorite parts of the entire show. >> Yeah, but usually it's ass, >> right? >> You know, you usually. >> Well, the tech was really good for this. one. Yeah, cuz usually there's a delay. or usually people are a little bit too. intense or locked in and you know it's. kind of like going I'm not saying ask. like it's a good conversation but it. does feel like very forced. It's very.

like it's not smooth the way he was just. going through his drills. It didn't feel. like we were impeding on his pregame. which sometimes it feels like when we're. talking to people it's like oh he's. still getting his work done still. getting warm and also. >> how confident is this guy and. this is game day against Clemson. This. is huge game for him. And he's just. locked in. >> That close. 103,000. >> Yeah, it was like Billy Napier when you. when you did. >> I know. Did he almost hit that? >> It looked close. >> I couldn't see it. I We The TV we were.

looking at was real small. So, I was. waiting for reaction from others and. everybody went, "Wow." And I was like, "Is that a hit or not a hit?" And then. >> I was waiting to hear it, but it looked. like it was close. >> Hanks King definitely was close. >> Yeah, >> he probably nicked it. >> All right, let's take a break on the. other side. We'll wrap up all the. stories we haven't covered and uh we'll. celebrate BA a little bit. >> Oh yeah. >> In his brain. >> All right. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change their. life. Take. [Music].

I light every bridge I see here just to. watch it burn. If you seen all the hell. I seen it make your stomach turn. I. think you know why I do what I do when I. do. [Music]. Started with 133 teams vying for one of. these coveted 12 spots for this 12 team.

playoff. And it came down to two teams. in the great state of Indiana kicking. this entire thing off. >> I might drink a little. I might smoke a. lot. >> The best year of college football that. it's ever had is about to have the. greatest playoffs it's ever had. And it. all starts right here in front of.

touchdown Jesus. And it's beautiful. Beautiful. And I need to say go. Irishers. >> Don't do that all night. If you make. this kick, I will double his kick to. $500,000. I will also donate $250,000 to. a charity of Chris Bailey's choosing. Yeah. Let it go. Oh god.

Not terrible. One kick. $750,000. The Lord is watching you. >> 1 million. [Applause]. And there's a bunch of. We don't just beat top 25 teams. We beat. the out of you. Okay, Google.

Hell yeah, you earned that, buddy. >> Hey, let's go. This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful.

Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble abode the Thunderdome on. this BA day September 16th 2025 hour. three of the program begins now.

>> football. [Music]. >> I like. >> love that. >> nice little. >> it is. >> that's 47year football coach Bruce. >> Harris. ny Your NFL vet Darius J. Butler the. talks the table at Boston Conor and at. Tai Schmidt. That man right there is AJ. Hawk and live from Hammer Don Ton is AP. Tone. Uh Tone great work on a college. ball wrap up. We did a lot of college. talk there. Let's do some Tom Brady talk.

shall we? >> The goat. >> The goat. >> This guy who is obviously seen it all, done it all, and obviously experienced. it all. A man who will be remembered as. the greatest football player of all time. because of how many rings he has won. And the way he went about doing his. business is that of perfection. It's. called the Patriot way. More so the Tom. Brady Bill Bich way. Now Tom Brady, former player and owner of an NFL team. We as ex players are all incredibly. pumped for that baby Tommy. >> Boy Tommy.

>> Tommy the greatest of all time. Also. committed to becoming a color. commentator for NFL games in a big time. spot. number one guy for NFL on Fox. We. appreciate the goat giving back to the. sport and teaching us the way he views. football. Hey baby Tom, thank you. >> Now those things kind of battle against. each other when Tom Brady is an active. NFL owner. Not just a angel investor, not just a less a fair owner. This dude. is on the horn a part of game planning.

allegedly with Chip Kelly three to five. times a week. And then when the. interviews were happening for the. coaches and everything for this new era. of the Las Vegas Raiders, he Tom Brady. was the one doing the interviews with. Pete Carol amongst others to kind of run. that team. So last night, prime time Las. Vegas, we see Tom Brady up in the. coach's booth with a goddamn headset on. and a suit. Whoa. >> The suit is a headset on sitting right. next to an assistant on the offensive. side. He can obviously drop it in.

anytime and tell Chip Kelly, "Hey, I. don't like it. Why aren't we. scoring any points? The Chargers defense. is really good. Oh, are they? Everybody's really good. It's the NFL. And if he wants to call a play. from up there, if he wants to drop in. and say some things, he certainly can. Is what everybody assumes as soon as we. see him in the coaches booth with the. headset on. And we know that that booth. with all those microphones on the sides. of everybody's head speaks directly to. the sideline. This guy's a part of game. planning. This guy's a part of play. calling. >> This guy's a part of hiring. This guy's.

a part of strategizing. This guy also. was part of the New England Patriots. that had how many gates happening at. certain times throughout their run of. their dynasty. A lot of them. >> We ain't letting this guy in our. building to let him do his color. commentating It was a big deal. last year as a big conversation piece. Then it kind of just got kind of got. wiped under the rug and kind of we move. on. >> He got paid 375 million to call games. He's the greatest of all time. We're. going to let him call games. Let him do. that. >> Now it has been reissued basically from. the NFL. Just a reminder as everybody.

starts heating up the conversation, Tom. Brady's not allowed in these buildings. Remember, we we allowed him in the. production meetings via Zoom or. FaceTime, but he's not allowed in the. buildings. He's not allowed to walk. around them cuz the conversation. immediately led to him sitting in that. booth with a headset on to all these. coaches around the league not wanting. this guy to know anything about their. team. What he's about to call the game, he has to know about your team. We don't. give a Okay. He's got the Bears, I. guess, coming up in a couple weeks. Guess who else got the Bears in a couple.

weeks? The team that he owns and the. team that he strategizes for. So Ben. Johnson is obviously not somebody uh. that is kind of loosey goosey. I think. he's pretty I assume he's not going to. say to Tom in his How do you view. this all going for Tom Brady? And should. we have expected him to be this hands-on. whenever he was named an owner of the. Las Vegas Raiders? >> Oh, definitely. That's what Tommy does. I mean, he doesn't do anything half ass. now. Tommy's full speed doing it 100%. Now, when you're coming back to do a.

production meeting, that's a whole. another story. No. Hell no. You ain't. getting into the building. >> Okay. So, he's not. >> I love you, Tommy, but you ain't getting. in the building. >> So, he's not allowed in the building. Okay. I think the NFL said that once. again, we haven't had him. He has. >> not seeing Friday practice. >> Okay. Not seeing Friday practice. You're. not seeing our best plays. Not seeing. what we like the most in red zone. You're not seeing who maybe we're trying. to maybe hide a little bit and get in. there uh for future reps. But, you are. in a production meeting in a Zoom call. what what comes from those and how will. people treat those you think with Tom if. you were. >> I think it'll be total. >> Okay. Everybody will just be lying.

>> Yep. Totally. And u he's not going to. get any information for that. >> People really pissed about this him in. the coach's box. I would assume. >> I would think so. I I would think that's. that's that changed the whole narrative. uh of being allowed to come in, not. being allowed to come in. This changes. everything. >> D but I think I even saw the internet. being like this guy shouldn't be just. walking around. I last night I think I. saw that kind of happen in real time. with Tom Brady. Did you as well? >> Yeah, I did. I saw it a lot and I. understand it. I there is a huge. conflict of interest and we know not.

even even if he didn't with the Patriot. stuff and all the gates that you. mentioned. Uh yeah, you you're. definitely concerned with that if you're. if you're an opponent. But this for me. just like BA is expected. You you didn't. expect Tom Brady to half ass do this. ownership thing. If it if it is a guy. that can do it, we always hear it as. players, as coaches, hey, it's nobody, you know, bigger than the Shield. There's nothing bigger than than the. NFL. It's a guy won seven Super Bowls. He went to 10 of them. This would be the. guy that can kind of get away with.

anything. He's, you know, been a part. part owner of the Raiders. There was. another owner there who was a Maverick. and kind of did things his way. Al. Davis, we saw the Jerry Jones docks. He's a he's did his things his own way. Tom Brady in my perfect football story, he would be the next Maverick and just. doing things completely outside of the. box like no one has ever done it before. and he earned their right to do it. So, we'll see how long he he does both. If I. see him giving up one, obviously it'll. be, you know, leaving the booth and then.

just being more of a full-timer. Maybe. he's on the sideline with a headset up. Maybe he just steps in at halftime and. takes overplay calling. Who knows what. it'll be, but I'm excited about this. next chapter with Tom Brady. >> for the betterment of the game. Him. being the next outlaw and not just going. along with everybody else says will. certainly be the case. I mean, that. would make the game better. It's like. whenever they were changing numbers and. changing rules and changing everything, he was very outspoken about uh-uh, this. ain't how this goes. I love that he has. that mentality. I like that the NFL has. come out and said, "We're not let him in. buildings. He's not doing any of that.". Uh Pete Carol came out. I guess Andrew.

Sicilian is reporting. Tom Brady is not. playing games with us. Is he planning. games with Chip? Maybe not. No, he. didn't say that. He say he's not. planning games with us, but we were told. that that's what happening. And in the. offseason before the combine and. everything, everybody that was around. the situation was saying Tom Brady very. hands-on involved in all of this. So, conflicting reports, I guess, and I'll. trust Pete Carol. Pete Carol's I like. Pete Carroll. Pete Carol's never lied. Maybe Tom Brady should be playing games. with you. But if he's not, but if he is,

which is what everybody thinks, I think. it is a huge talking point about him. getting access or knowledge or anything. like that. I I think that's why it got. so big last night. >> Well, and Pete saying, you know, Tom. Brady's not game plan with us. Well, well, Pete, you know, Tom Brady beats. your ass. He beat Chip Kelly's ass. He. beat. Well, what I'm saying, what I'm saying. is he doesn't have to game plan with. them. He can game plan on his own. He. can he definitely doesn't need the help. of those guys to create his own game. plan for a team but like. >> breaking breaking breaking saying before.

you go any further uh Vinnie Bones. >> okay. >> okay he says Pete Carol said the reports. that Tom Brady meets three or so times. per week with Raiders OC Chip Kelly to. go over film game plan is not accurate. okay so we just got to say. >> twice a week yeah twice a week. >> yeah exactly like no matter what the. assumption is going to be like he's. doing. >> Shrags broke this news he did. >> so this is Shrag's news. >> waits broke broke the. two during the game I think he. >> correct. >> and then this is Vinnie saying you know. >> that Pete Carol just said Pete Carol is. talking to reporters I would assume. either right now or last night and bonor.

here pie on he is currently reporting. what is coming from. >> the press and Pete Carol saying who's. who's shanks doesn't know. >> sh doesn't know I'm the only pet around. here that knows anything is what Pete. Carol said about shre's report seemingly. >> yeah uh but that wouldn't be as weird if. they didn't scrub of the internet of all. the tweets about Brady um being in the. booth in the coach's office. believe the. NFL deleted a tweet with that involved. in it and there were other things like.

so that that makes it more seem like a. spin and him him saying yeah they don't. meet three times a week to what AJ said. the immediate thought was like okay well. they meet once a week and we can't. assume anything. >> the devil is in the details. >> exactly yeah and a lot of things you. know a lot of things that maybe be. conspiracy fodder if you will just kind. of putting my hat on for a second Brady. did hire Pete Carol he was a huge part. of all of the hiring ing process for the. team. Who's the GM? >> John Spyitech. They played together at.

Michigan. Came from the books. >> Spy Tech. >> Great. Great GM. It's going to be a hell. of a deal. >> Yeah. Does he have any assistance. technology perhaps? >> Oh, >> spy technology. >> Oh, is it right there in the name? It's. always so obvious, isn't it? >> Isn't it? >> It's always too obvious. >> It's right there in front of us. >> And Ben Johnson. Yeah. Hey, he's going. to Ben Johnson's going to give Brady. Well, guess what? Brady knows. what's then. Hey, Chip, they're.

not going to do this, this, and this cuz. this is what they told me they were. going to do. So, yeah, maybe he will get. nothing out of the team meetings, but. boy oh boy, we don't know how the goat. thinks. He might think completely. different than everybody else, and he. might be able to get information. >> BA, do you uh BS or no BS? Uh Tom Brady. can get a lot of info from a building if. he's color commentator. >> No. Terrible. can't get anything. No, but I'm saying I don't think anybody. gets anything. >> That's what I'm saying. In general, not. just Tom Brady. Tell their commentators. >> I mean, I did those things for how many.

how many years? >> I would tell the truth sometimes because. I knew they thought I was lying, you. know, and hey, this is going to be the. first play. >> No, And we ran it anyway. >> Okay. So, that that meeting is a uh what. happens in those meet? I've never been. I've I've sat in a couple for the games. that I called, but I was always like. third person. So, they're trying to get. info on what your strategy is or. injuries or how. >> mostly. injuries. Who's on who's going to be on. game day roster? Who's who's inactive? Um, you know, what do you think this.

week? And of course, nobody tells them. anything. Um, it's a to me it was a. waste of time. I did it for a year. I was like, I. should be out on the golf course. >> How about walking around the building. like those Friday practices? >> Friday practice is real. >> That's totally different. Friday. practice you see everything, all the. important you know, red zone, two. minute, all your gimmicks, your your.

final drive. Some people they'll go. through their script on Friday. >> Now that's big. That's big. And and. seeing who's out on the field. >> Yep. >> Uh what the hell are you doing playing. that position? >> All right. Where the hell is Derwin. James? I'm watching for that, you know. So, yeah, being at Friday practice, that's totally different than a. production meeting. >> And the NFL is saying he's not allowed. at Friday practices. He's only allowed. on Zoom calls in a production meeting. >> Yeah, but the guys that he works with. can. So, there's no way those guys tell.

him anything about what they saw. >> So now Tom Brady is being paid 375. million by Fox and now he picks up also. spies for him and spy tech for the Las. Vegas Raiders. No, no. The guy he calls. the game with, what's his name? >> Kevin Birkhard. >> Kevin Burkhard. Is does Birkhard go to. the practices on on Friday? So, would. they not communicate about what he saw? I mean, I'm not saying this is going to. happen. I'm just saying like this is. like the internet this would be Tom. could give him a list. Hey, Burkhard, check this out. Check out who's playing.

Nickel in this situation, who's doing. that. And then I mean, you could do. that, but come on. >> How much how many reps are Badgent. getting? You know, >> yeah. Are they still motioning Loveland. or. >> Yeah. What is the thought on does it. seem like there's a little bit of a. short leash on Caleb before we play? Is. there Let's look around if offensive. line and Caleb. Can you get the. interaction between those two in between. drills? Can you see how many people are. letting trainers. kind of squirt the water in their mouth?

You know, can you can you show me all. these things? Kevin Birkhard. I don't. know if he would be able to see all the. things that Tom would probably factor. and not no shot at Kevin Burkhard. And. this isn't a shot at uh. >> non-player journalist. or non-coaching journalist. None of. those things. >> But I think what what they fear what he. fears is Tom because of his. knowledge of the game and being there. doing that, >> he could potentially see some Oh. yeah. >> Like and it could benefit the Raiders.

immediately. is what all football people. who are paranoid to begin. with. Go ahead. >> I mean, those production meetings and. Friday practices, you know, coaches and. players, you're worried about that. getting out, you know, within that 48. hours before the game. Once the game is. played, you're seeing all those. different things. So, like th those. that's the vital time, 48 hours. So, once Sunday happens or Monday, whenever. it is, and the game's being played, like. you're going to see who's playing the. nickel, you're going to see who's. calling the plays, you're going to see. these different things. So, if you're. going into the game, if you're playing.

the Raiders that week and getting that. information, that vital information that. um you know, that you don't know, that. you're not going to see until game time, that's when it matters. But outside of. that, you know, it's not that not that. big a deal. >> I like that head headset on up there. >> But I like that he's spreading the game. worldwide. >> Yeah, that that was awesome. >> What do you mean announcement? >> He's taking the Fanatics Flag Football. Super Fest right over there, Saudi. Arabia. That's right. >> Taking it global. Here's Tom Brady. yesterday alongside Turkey Alashik and.

uh announcing Riod season is officially. welcoming football to Riad. >> yesterday. I've always admired the power. of flag football, the fastest growing. sport in the world and how it connects. fans of all ages and I want to help. continue the global movement and. momentum that our game is having. So, I'm very excited to announce that I'm. coming out of retirement and teaming up. with his excellency Turkey Alashik,

Fanatics, OBB Media, and my friends at. Fox Sports to launch the Fanatics Flag. Football Classic, which will bring. American football to the Middle East on. March 21st, 2026 at Kingdom Arena in. Riad, Saudi Arabia as part of Riad. season. Way he go taking football. worldwide. Worldwide. I don't know if. every word sounded natural coming out of. his mouth or not, but I do know it is a. huge huge announcement uh for football.

and also for a lot of guys uh to profit. mightily from the sport of football and. maybe this does take over the entire. Middle East as our new favorite sport. With that being said, the NFL has come. out with a statement on this particular. Superf Fest. Uh, Fanatics made us aware. of the event, but this is not a league. initiative. It's up to the individ. individual clubs to provide clearance. for their active players to participate. I think a lot of ex players are going to. be playing this. A lot of stars going to. be playing this. I uh cannot wait to see.

how it all comes together. And uh. congrats to Tom getting this deal. He. might be owner of uh hold team soon, >> especially if we're doing heading up a. deal with Saudi Ara. >> That's a lot of cash. >> Yeah, I I. got a couple coaches. Yeah, I assume the. super duper profession. Yeah, there's. going to be a couple coaches. >> golf out there, too. >> Yeah. Nope. >> You sure? >> Why not? >> I don't know. Pretty good. >> This is my job now. >> Okay. Hey, sitting here. We love you. >> We We'll see. This actually might be. awesome. I mean, I'd much rather watch.

this than like the UFFL. And that's kind. of, you know, the the same time period. So, we'll see. I mean, Saquon's playing. in. >> with it coming into the Olympics and. everything. >> It's going to be big. >> Huge. >> Saquon's playing. I saw Saquon is one of. the names. I think Max Crosby was one of. the names. Yeah. Macaffy Miles Garrett. >> Look at some of these. Look, I meanuge. >> And I like the NFL has come out and said. >> the teams are allowed to say no is what. the NFL basically. We would like to just. let everybody know the teams are allowed. to say no if they'd like to. That is our.

stance on it. But big names, big. partners, big money, big for the game, you know. I like that. That is have. soccer, golf, >> tennis, other sports, football now. >> Yeah. Grow it. >> Getting a chance. Why not? Good for the. sport. A lot of money for those people. >> Yeah, it's going to be real tough when. uh they're they're playing, you know, Dubai week 8. But hey, >> it's not me. >> You're talking with Saudi Arabia's team. or the fanatic swag football team. >> I'm assuming I'm assuming if if this. goes well, you know, 2030 international.

game. I assume they send one over there. >> I will say Tom Brady and Gronowski look. good. >> still. >> Oh, yeah. Every time I see them on. camera together, they're throwing. throwing Tom's throwing a grunk. >> Had one down in New Orleans, I think, across the street. Where was it? >> Yeah, it was. >> that was like last week or whatever. They did one last week and then they did. one to announce this flag football. thing. >> Little lower catch. Yeah, Rob Grunk. They're going to win. >> Whatever team they're on, I'm I'm. thinking is going to win. >> What if they just. >> Who will they play?

>> What if they just start taking their. players. >> and doing what? Flag football. Super. classics. >> Yeah, just go over there and play flag. football. played four games for $55. million. >> We talked about this for the WNBA, >> maybe 100. >> We talked about this for the WNBA with. that uh threeon-ree league. >> Yep. >> It was like, so they're going to make. more money to do threeon-ree than. they're going to make in the WNBA. >> How long before the threeon-ree thing. becomes the thing? They're like, "No, they're committed to building WNBA. >> They're making 50,000 a year here for. how many games?" You know, the road and.

then over here they're making 250,000 is. what you're saying for this many. Yeah, but that's just an offseason thing. We'll come out. It's like, okay, >> I'm happy to hear that. I'm happy to. hear that that both are gonna. >> money talk. Exactly. And uh you know, Saudi Arabia obviously with golf. >> was able to um get a lot of golfers that. notable golfers. Not everybody though. Soccer, they've gotten some notable. soccer players. Not everybody though. I. assume all their sports, it's a similar. story. for football. This one feels like.

it is just going to be like event driven. as opposed to full league stuff. But. >> what if the crown prince, >> God bless him, sees flag football and. goes, >> I like the sport. What is this? Let's do this one. >> All of a sudden, Tyreek Hill, you're. you're not happy in Miami. Boy, do we. got a league for you. Here's $150. million for one season and you're going. to be untackable. >> Mhm. >> You're actually playing for the Crown. Prince team. >> Yeah. He's throwing you the football.

>> Actually, illegal. >> We're not going to talk about that. We're not going to talk about that. That. is not This is good for the growth of. the game. It's not going to take over. the game. >> No. Well, no. No matter what, this would. I mean this would only happen in like. April or May when they. >> Yeah. But what we're saying is what. happens like if they did a season. >> What we're saying is what happens though. Crown Prince, >> God bless him, falls in love with the. sport, you know, like he did with. soccer. >> Mhm. >> Like he did with golf and says, "You. know what? I like this one. This is fun.

because they're airing it out. Oh, Tom. Brady's gonna. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> They're rushing in that, don't they? Rush. >> They're rushing that. That's the one. thing I said when Tom said I'm going to. come out of retirement. >> Miles Garrett's going to be chasing you. That's going to be easy catch. >> No, I got to be on his team. Miles got. to be on his team. >> You got to count steamboats or what? What do you How do you rush? >> Mississippi. >> No, it's like Saudi Arabia. >> You watch the high school kids, it's. like bam and they're after you. So the. quarterback's always running around and. uh that's not Tommy anymore. >> What is the high school rules? How many. Mississippi?

>> I had things at one. >> just one thing like seven yards back. I. think if you're like seven yards back I. know flag football and my little kids. played. If you're like seven yards back. you're you can blitz from like a cone y. >> behind the line of scrim. >> What if it is they count in Saudi. Arabians? What if it is one Saudi. Arabian two Saudi Arabian. >> three Saudi Arab gone by then? I was. going to say request probably three. Saudi Arabia. >> The Mississippi of Saudi Arabia is the. Wadi Alma. So they will count one.

three. Yeah. So it's probably three. if I had to guess before they're allowed. to rush. Miles Garrett got to say it. too. Got to get it right. >> One. Nope. >> Yeah. Don't speak. Him and Mad Max are. going to be trying to do that. >> Absolutely. They're going to try it. Nope. No. >> Go back. Go back to the code. >> Max Crosby's definitely not wanting to. go three wall to old llama. >> No, he's not doing it. >> No way. He's not want to do that. >> They're going to need to do that though.

for Tommy. >> Ball with a llama. No way. >> That's not it. That don't count. >> Exactly. No way. >> Did you fact check that, Tony? >> Yeah. How'd you get that? Did you say. what is the Mississippi of Saudi Arabia. into. >> No, I No, I Googled what's the largest. river in Saudi Arabia. Oh, okay. Smart. Well done. It is smart. >> Is that why it is Mississippi we count. is because of the river? >> I was I was just trying to go apples to. apples. >> Yeah, but is that the proper.

>> I always assume you said one like Ohio. River one Ohio two it's not enough. >> Yeah, but I don't think. >> there you go. Yeah, but they're not as. big as. >> andang come together to form to Ohio. Obviously three great rivers that come. together at one point. Downtown. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We all love. that. But I don't think it's one. Mississippi because of the river. Is it? I think it's because of the name. Just. because it's so cool sounding. >> I assume so. >> I always assumed it was the river. ow to the river. >> So it's like one Mississippi River, two. Mississippi rivers, three.

>> too long. >> So they just got rid of the rivers. >> One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three. Mississippi. >> I mean, Brett Far might have created. that. >> He might have. >> That might have been his entire thing. Nobody talks about his contributions. with the state of Mississippi like that. >> Well, yeah, he might have created Mississippi down. there. We don't know. We're not 100%. sure. So, Wadi Holama, what was it? >> Wadi Alama. Um, but yeah, I just looked. it up. Apparently, they were looking for. a four syllable word. Oh.

>> Uh, that that timed out to be about a. second and one Mississippi was about. that. So, >> look, I thought apples to apples with. rivers just just random. We know. >> I still stand on it. >> And that's why we love you. >> Except for the river. I can't stand on. that. >> Jeez, he could. >> He could. >> He could. >> Then he went out there and just. >> Oh, yeah. >> The M Mississippi. >> the JC walk. >> Was he one leg in this thing or was he. Oh, yeah. I forgot who was the uh Jack. Easter. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. One fish, two fish.

>> Blue fish. >> walking on top of him. That's blue fish. >> I think he's still breaking down a game. >> I'll get a text every once in a while. Jackie a week. I feel blessed. >> Really? >> They're very long, in-depth. He He's. still breaking. >> nose ball. >> He's breaking down the game. >> Yeah. >> I don't even know what the number could. start with. >> Yeah. >> But I Is it Houston? >> That's kind of my issue. I don't save. phone numbers enough. So then if a text. is coming through with a number I don't. know, I I'm going to say this now. No,

not enough people are going to hear it. I'm not reading it. >> Okay. I am so sorry. I just I should I. know that I should, but boy, that one's. probably not getting read and I don't. like it. But every once in a while, there'll be like an incredibly detailed. stat about football is the first. sentence. It's a number I don't have. I. crack that thing open. and there's a lot of detail and I get to. bottom. Hope you're great, >> Jack Easter. >> Hell yeah. >> I'm like, hell yeah. God bless. you, man. Thank you for all that.

>> Try 832. >> Okay. It's a good text. I mean, he's got a lot. of information in there. Wait till you. guys hear this. He's his own stack guy. >> Is there a word that you remember from. the text that you could search? >> Maybe Jack Easterburg, right? >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, that'd be. >> Oh, we found it. >> It says bless you or something at the. end. >> Oh, wow. Look at that. >> Yeah. I don't Yeah. Yeah. Don't do that. >> Jeez. Jeez. That's on me. >> Yeah. But it's a it's a it's all stats.
