kings thunderdome on this joint practice. Wednesday August 12th 2026. This sports. program begins now. >> Football is the greatest and we got. joint practices all around the league. We'll be visiting them here in a little. bit as we'll feel the beat around these. joint training camp practices. We'll go. to Mike Ree who's been covering the. Patriots for a long long. ass I mean he's he's been there through. three coaches now through Oh yeah. multiple different generations. He'll be. live at obviously Colts Patriots which.

yesterday started hot for the Patriots. >> but ended sizzling hot for the. Indianapolis Colts from our. understanding. Then we'll go Lindseay. Theory who's obviously at Cowboys and. the Rams. Brian Baldinger from Baldi's. Breakdown. Let's go. >> He's over there in Kansas City with Ian. Rapaort. We'll certainly catch up with. him. And then we'll chitchat about. everything else happening around the. NFL, which includes an incredible Hard. Knocks episode last night. Feels like. the Seattle Seahawks are on a a mission. to go back to back. And it makes a lot. of sense with big coach Mike Mack on why. they're having success. This guy, first.

time talking to the team, predicted what. the Seattle Seahawks were going to. become. He was one year off. Now, he. thought he was going to happen in the. first year of him him being the head. coach in the NFL and of the Seahawks. instead it took him two years to do it. He wins a Super Bowl and he's not taking. any [ __ ] No. And this feeds right into. a conversation that we were having this. week because I think it goes into a. bigger picture of what's going on with. Max Crosby out there in Las Vegas. The. talks tables here at Boston Connor and. at Tai Schmidt want to have the hammer. cowboys AP tone NFL flag championships. Good hoodie. >> Yeah. Great. Right. >> Yeah, we were at that. >> It was a good time,

>> right? Awesome time. Impressive. >> Disney NFL. >> going into it. >> promoting. >> Yeah, >> it's fun. It's almost like that's what. you know franchise QB would do. You. know, go go and represent for that type. of stuff, especially if we're big fans. of what it could be in the future for. things. Nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here. Debbuts, the joint. practices. Um, obviously heightened. intensity. Oh, yeah. Obviously. heightened scrutiny. Chance get exposed. uh out there is very very real. And I. think if you're on hard knocks, there's.

a chance you can get exposed in a huge. way. Now, we saw with the Giants, obviously, we saw the Giants decide that. they weren't going to, you know, pursue. Saquon Barkley and his free agency. They're going to hang on to Daniel. Jones, and they're going to have to find. out if he's quarterback Saquon Barkley. on Hard Knocks. Uh, basically get shued. out of the Giants building. The owner of. the Giants says, "If this guy goes to. Philadelphia Eagles, I'm not going to be. able to sleep at night." Now, we. obviously have a lot more respect for. him because he saw this entire thing. kind of happening right in front of his. eyes and they let it take place. And. then Saquon Barkley becomes the MVP and.

wins a Super Bowl with them. So, the. Hard Knocks has exposed people in the. past. What I think it's exposing us to. is this McDonald as a coach. This guy's. unbelievable. And when we were talking. about Max Crosby hitting the. quarterback, listen to this guy. Third. year as a head coach, >> okay, for the Seattle Seahawks. Has. already built his culture, has already. won a Super Bowl. He's a defensive guy. Here's him talking to one of his guys. >> Derek, Derek, Derek, Derek, what are you. doing? What are you doing? >> Why are you bull rushing right now near. the quarterback? >> I'm not trying to get up. I can't see.

behind. You can't be trying to hump. right now. This isn't the time for it. >> Damn it, Derek. [laughter]. >> That way. Good timing. That. >> away. Stay away from the quarterback. >> How clear the pass? >> Get him out. Get him out. Get him out. What do. >> you want me to do? Get the hole out. Get. him out. Get him out. Let's go. >> Get him out. >> Damn. Oh my god. >> Talking back a little bit. >> What the. >> Hey, you can complain all you want. You. can complain all the want. You're too. close. That's twice. It's not smart. You.

can all you want, but it turns out I'm. running the practice. [laughter]. >> I like that. Derrick Ho, by the way, kind of publicly going at the coach say, "Man, what am I loud?". >> And you heard McDonald immediately. inside, you saw him go, "Yeah, right. You think that's happening, starts. chirping right back. I think you got to. have the respect of your team to be able. to do that." But also, the offense sees. your defensive coordinator and defensive. head coach doing that and appreciates. it. And I think that echoes the. sentiment of every single football. practice I've ever been at about how. Gordon get treated, which is why the.

Raiders news with Kirk Cousins and Max. Crosby has been so crazy to us. But what. did you learn from McDonald and Seattle. Seahawks? >> Uh just culture. We always that's always. a buzz word in any building in any. business in football. You hear in the. sports you hear it a ton. Uh culture the. the old iteration of uh the Seahawks. You heard they had great culture with. Pete Carol and those guys at Legion of. Boom, obviously Russ and everything that. they built over there. So now the Snider. has built it again and just getting a. glimpse into that. We saw I think a. little bit of it last year even when. they had all the helmets stacked up, you. know, in front of the team meeting was.

like, "Damn, that's cool." And as a. former player, a lot of us say like. that's the that's the hardest part about. leaving the game. Obviously, you know, the the the playing the game and the. money and the lifestyle and all those. things, but just being around your group. of guys, whether it's traveling, road. trips, uh locker room, meeting rooms, you know, just the pranks, you know, all. those different things, man. But just to. see their culture. We talked about the. sledgehammers holding up, getting a peek. into these individual meeting rooms. You. see these characters, these coaches uh. throughout the dayto day. So, I love. everything about it. Mike Mack is a is.

he's kind of a a football maniac, football junkie. That's all he cares. about. And his guys uh you know, kind of. beat go to that beat of the same drum. >> Offensive lineman, defensive lineman. Riley taking on other guy. Can't wait. for people to experience this because. this is middle of training camp. Okay. Mason uh getting after it. This is. middle of training camp. guys are tired, been around each other. These guys got. into it a little bit, I believe, in. practice beforehand. A little bit of a a. fist thrown, but then also a celebration. on the other side, and they said, "Let's. go ahead and handle this." Once you saw.

the offense take their guys back and the. defense take their guys back. And you. see that team meeting come together. around something as simple as four. sledgehammers. It's like, "Wow, those. dudes really love being around each. other." It does feel like the Seattle. Seahawks are cooking maybe a little. backto back. Now, obviously, that would. be incredible, especially with what they. already have in their division. The Los. Angeles Rams are outrageous. They've. been the topic of discussion for. everybody, especially because it seems. like Aaron Donald's coming back. Are the. Seahawks going back to back? Ty Schmidt, nobody really talks about him. Hard. knocks happens. We watch it, we go,

I really like what this team's doing. Can they win it though? Can Sam Darn win. it all? Oh yeah, he did. Can this new. coach, a defensive guru head coach, win. a Super Bowl? Oh, they already did. Not. getting anywhere near the amount of. respect, but that's because Aaron. Donald, Miles Garrett might be on the. same deal line. Is that accurate? Yeah, without a doubt. And I mean, you. mentioned it. Usually when you watch. Hard Knocks, it's a team who either. didn't make the playoffs the year before. and it's who people are kind of bullish. on and then by like week four it's like, okay, we really probably should have. maybe taken or we should have relaxed a.

little bit on this. But it seems. completely different with that. But I I. think that's how they want it. You know, his personality like they don't give a. [ __ ] if anyone's talking about them. They know how good they are. We'll see. I mean, he answered questions about. whether or not he could win a Super Sam. Darnold. That's all we talked about. leading up to the Super Bowl. Hey, can. this guy win the big one? They'd win a. game in the playoffs. Be like, "Yeah, but can Sam Darnold win the next?". >> He threw for 300 or something like that. in the biggest game. And they're like, he didn't really have to do anything. >> Exactly. And and and then, you know,

Kenneth Walker has the big game in the. Super Bowl. He wins like he didn't win. Super Bowl MVP. I feel like he he still. isn't certified even after winning a. Super Bowl. So, I assume he's got a chip. on his shoulder. like yeah, if if you're. a better on the Seahawks, I think you're. feeling pretty good where they're at, right? >> Well, especially with the news that came. out of San Francisco yesterday, you. know, cuz we were chitchatting with uh. Rapaort yesterday talking about Bosa, you know, and how he's mentally having. to get back over the injury, his knee, and uh that's kind of where he's at. Then it came out he's weak to Okay, right now this is not good. DN Bosa, who's returning from a torn ACL, is now.

considered weak to weak due to. tendonitis in a surgically repaired knee. per head coach Kyle Shanahan. Shout out. to Ari Mirro. Did Did some numbers for. you, Bob. >> Yeah, big time. >> Did some numbers for you, Ari. [clears throat]. >> I think that thing is an incredible. idea. I'm excited to see what that grows. into. >> Mhm. >> There's a lot of people invested in. that. >> Oh, yeah. Certainly. >> A lot of people invested. Head of. Disney. >> Mhm. >> Head of ABC. >> Wide.

>> Head of ESPN. >> Wide. >> Head of the United States of America. >> Wide. >> And me and Gumpy. >> Yep. That's right. >> All types. Okay, >> just an alltime blap. >> Two kids from every single state, territory, and I believe um reservation. uh came to compete to try to get better. And I I think this is an initiative that. is going to continue. I think this is a. big deal. And anything that is going to. amplify or encourage the next generation. to remain active and competitive. I. think that is a huge thing I would be a.

part of. I have given, and this is not I. I I I mean, we certainly have said this. publicly because I think it maybe. motivates others to do the same. I've. given over like $2 million back to my. high school to sports to hopefully keep. kids from my hometown and Plum active. and like into sports. And I've been. obviously a part of the play 60. initiative whenever I was in the NFL. I've donated to many things that try to. keep the next generation active. This. seems like something that a lot of. people are aligned on making happen. Josh Dearo there, head of Disney.

All of Disney. The previous head of. Disney just bought the Lakers. >> Yes, he did. >> This is the new head of Disney. Head of. ABC right there. One of the heads, Miss. Deb. Incredible. Love catching up with. her. Jimmy Petar. That's a head of ESPN. And then right there with his left arm. around uh one particular guy. That's. Gumpy. That's right. >> Okay. That that is Gumpy. And then. obviously it's me. And then the amount. of students and kids, the energy last. night was just absurd in there. and. they're winning lifechanging money. So, you can there's a lot of people upset.

anytime obviously you have uh uh the. president doing anything especially. President Trump uh who was very gracious. to me and Gumpy I would say and all the. Disney people would say the same thing. with how it was all set up last night. Uh anytime he's a part of something. that's going to be very loud and there's. people saying some. people say it's really mean stuff. >> Oh yeah. Diary of a polarizing figure. available Friday by brand new album. I. wrote uh 15 songs. I learned how to sing. for them and it will address a lot of. this and this kind of is what my life. is. But the mission of the Patriot. Games, I am a firm believer and I'm not.

the only one. And and I am very excited. for what the future is. If we're going. to get an aggro crag with an American. Ninja Warrior with a push-up pull-up. contest with all these things, what the. presidential fitness things used to be, but like bigger bigger, I think this can. become something that's magical across. the entire country. So I was very lucky. and honored to be there. Thankful to be. there. Yeah. And then this is absurd. Yeah, this is an absurd situation. I am. drenched at that moment obviously. Uh. greeted the president as he was coming. off of Air Force One and it was. torrential downpour, you know. I I mean.

just absolutely torrential downpour. Wore blue jeans. Normally wear black. pants. Blue jeans get drenched. You. know, you see it. Turns out everything. was drying except for like the. >> sure. >> you look like you pissed your pants. >> The crop. >> There's a [laughter] lot of that at the. end of the night. You know, I'm. stretching shirt to be like, "No, this. is rain from earlier. I don't think you. fully understand." But getting a chance. to obviously do that. Hop in Marine One, okay, which is the helicopter that the. president uses, uh, with a couple big. uh, up there flying it. And then getting.

over there, it's like the attention that. this event is going to get and is going. to continue to get. Gumpy a baby Gumpy. Uh, I think is great for the future. And. I think it's a very, very, very, very. cool thing and concept. So, I'm excited. for that. I got a three-year-old. daughter. A lot of people saying. terrible things about her. I got a. three-month-old baby boy. A lot of. people saying terrible things about him. right now because I want to encourage. high schoolers to be fitness and active. Just know that uh we take a lot of pride. in the fact that we are big promoters of.

sport, fitness, you name it. And. especially with our partners at Disney, ESPN, and ABC with everything they've. done for us. I will love to continue to. promote kids being active. I will. continue to promote sports and uh I do. appreciate how people feel uh towards. their politics and everything like that. I do respect it, but there's some absurd. things when it's like, hey, it's not. just me. I mean, we are we're trying to. create something here for the next. generation. We're trying to give back. from our community in our world, sports.

and fitness. So, it's like I think it. once it settles in and if this Patriot. Games thing goes for 10 20 years, which. I'm hoping happens no matter who's. president, uh I think this will be. something that we'll look back on and. say this was inevitably good. But I got. ideas. I was in there. I had a thousand. I didn't know the thing was happening. until there. I met the the uh creator of. American Ninja Warrior was there. >> Nice. >> Yeah, the creator. >> Nice. >> That's a big swinging dick. [laughter]. >> Huge. >> The biggest what like 30 seasons in or. whatever. Shake his hand at the very.

beginning. Hey, how you doing? Hey Pat, insert his name. I should have we should. have looked that up. Insert her name. very quickly. And I go, "Oh, very nice. to meet you." And then uh he goes, "I. created American Ninja Warrior." And. then he had a headset on and I didn't. hadn't seen the course yet. Oh, this is. American Ninja Warrior course. And I. said, "Come again." That's what I I said. to him. He said, "I created American. Ninja Warrior." I go, >> "Good for you. >> Good for you, man. Congratulations." But. it was so sweet. I mean, in the It was. cool. I I think this has a chance. Arthur Smith, is that his name? >> That's what Google was saying. >> Okay. Arthur Smith. I met Arthur Smith.

last night. I mean, if there was a photo. there, it would be a little. >> Yeah. Wow. >> Yeah. >> That's why he was in Ohio. That's why he. had time to be a FedEx Tense. >> That is uh we're not. >> I got some ideas for that thing, too. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> What do you got? >> I got some ideas. >> Like, get your drawing board. Spitball. >> Okay. >> Yeah, we'll do some drawings. >> How the kids were pick [laughter]. when I was there, I was asking a lot of. questions. Hey, I was looking around. I. was looking around a couple times.

>> Great lads, kids. Great kids. Super buzz. up. Love their energy. What an. experience for them. Like summer camp, >> you know, but they're getting to do like. super athletic. I mean, certainly. memories forever. But I was looking. around and I was thinking about me when. I was their age. And I'm like, cooked all of these all of these people. And then I started looking around. I'm. like, I'm not the only one that could. probably is thinking the same thing. here. So I think as this thing grows, I. think what we need to make sure we let. everybody know is, hey, tryyous.

>> Yeah. There you go. >> Right here. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Big announcement. Almost like. Drewskis. [laughter]. >> Almost athletes. >> Almost like Drewskis could have been. >> sure. >> Come to a city. Hey, we got uh uh. tryyous for this here. Like that is the. idea that I have for it. I'm like, let's. do six regionals. Let's go to an arena. Let's set this thing up. Let's tell. everybody in the area to come. Let's get. the best of the best. Let's go ahead and. do this. Let's up this to a million. dollars worth. Like that's where my. brain immediately goes as I'm watch. I'm. like, "Yes, yes." And then I think about.

a little little young me, you know, being like, "How much can I win at this. thing? What do I got to do? I got to go. run what?" And then going down there and. just having an opportunity because you. could tell how pumped they were to be in. that. Like they were very pumped to be. there. The kid that run that won it. Oh, I don't know if I should give it away. >> Oh yeah. >> Oh yeah. If you see tomorrow night. tomorrow, >> the kid the kid that won it, the male. that won it, >> he needs to be a Marines. He He needs We. need him expedited to Marines. >> See, that might be a problem because the. kid that won it, we should be saying. like this guy's going to be in the NFL.

>> No. No. Not with the Ninja Warrior, of. course. >> Yeah. MLB, MLS. I'll tell you what, I. think this kid could probably do any of. those things, but I also think he would. actually be able to run through a brick. wall or right up over this kid was a. human spider. I mean, watching this kid. operate was outrageous. Good jawline, absolutely strapped. There were 15 to 17. or 14 to 17. And there was a 15-year-old. finalist taking on the 17-year-old. >> Wow. >> So, that was in the girls division. She.

was from Michigan, I believe. I I. believe she was from Michigan. Probably. >> she had a pretty good little run. Yeah, it it was uh it was awesome. I mean, it. was it was a pretty big celebration of. like fitness last night, I would say. And then, you know, because of storms. back here in Indianapolis, I almost die. on the way home. >> Yeah. >> Tree in road, no lights on road. >> Hit side a car. >> Crazy scene. >> Could you imagine if I turn that thing? People would have been so happy on the. internet. On that note, the diary of a.

polarizing figure this was crazy some of. the stuff I was reading about me. Oh. yeah, >> man. All these people felt like real. sports fans, too. >> Oh yeah. Big time. >> You know what I mean? >> Mhm. >> And they're not watching anymore. >> And I want to let you know, I'm so sorry. cuz what we are giving is the best in. the world. Sports. Sports are the. greatest in the world. So hopefully. you'll join us again. Now, speaking of. sports, joint practices are happening. around the NFL. We are so close to. actual NFL football that we can smell. it.

If you take a spoon, they'll take it. through the sky. Eat that. You can taste. it. >> Oh yeah. >> And in these eyes, guess what they're. seeing all over the internet? >> Touchdown. >> What? >> Interceptions. What? >> Tax trips. >> What? >> Coaches yelling at players. >> What? >> Players yelling at coaches. >> What? >> We're here. >> Mhm. >> Let's feel the beat a little bit, shall. we? Hey, Ladies and gentlemen, up at the. Colts Patriots joint practice, a man. who's been covering the Patriots for. ESPN. Connor, for how long?

>> I'm going to say 22 years. >> Ladies and gentlemen, Mike Ray. >> 21 years. >> Is that how long it is? >> It's been a while. It's been so long, Pat. Look, look what I brought today. >> My 2009 Patriots media guy. You know why. I did this? >> I know why you did that. >> To this page. Look at this guy right. here. >> Boom. Watch. Yeah, sweet. >> Good to see you, Mike. >> Hey, you know what? 27 as a rookie, not. a number that's immediately going to get. a quarterback to go that one. >> That's not a bad number.

>> No, top of the second. I mean, that's. you're damn near your first round pick. >> At decent pickings, but then that's the. thing. When you come into training camp. and it's a 100 guy, I don't know how. much it is now. It's like 100 guys, you. start eyeballing after a couple. practice. All right, that guy might be. gone. That guy might be gone. [laughter]. Yeah, you start eyeballing number. So, end up getting 28. Okay, let's not talk. about who's uh kind of got their eyes on. another number at this point. Let's talk. about the teams as a whole. Yesterday, from the one-on-one from the Patriots. social media that we saw, looked like AJ. Brown was cooking. Looked like the boys. were rolling. Then we started seeing.

reports from Colts fan Logan who was. also up at practice. And he was saying. the Colts did very well towards the end, specifically the two-minute drill. We. had Shane Stiken on. Shane was super. optimistic, which I think he always is, but he thinks he did feel pretty good. about how we kind of showed up. Obviously, the Patriots AFC Champs Super. Bowl last year, so that's big news for. the Colts. Can you give me some good. news for the Colts or kind of what is. your takeaway of the joint practices? >> Well, absolutely, Pat. First, you talk. about smelling the football. Like, this. was a great atmosphere for it. I'm going.

to tell you, there must have been 8 to. 9,000 fans uh lining the field. They. opened Yeah. They opened up the ramps to. the stadium that overlook the practice. fields. I mean, it was it was there was. a lot of energy there. And that moment. that we're seeing right here with Cam. Binham. He intercepts Drake May in the. two-minute drill. And fans were booing. Pat. It felt like I was at a game in a. sense even though it was just practice. >> Okay. So, let's talk about it feeling. like it's at a game. Obviously, that. means the Colts showed up. We know the. Patriots are going to show up in a big.

way. How did you feel about both teams? Did it feel like, hey, these might be. two of the best teams in the AFC, or is. there a long road to go here for both? I. >> I'd say more the latter, Pat, in terms. of a long road to go. I think both teams. probably came out of this feeling like. it was a good day. There were no. injuries, no big fights. And I think if. the goal from a football standpoint is. to get better leading into the regular. season opener, they both did that. I. would say if I had to pick one though, Pat, because I don't want to give you a. boring answer, I think the Colts come.

out of this feeling better because of. the way it ended. Two-minute drill. How. many games end in a two-minute. situation? And you got to either win it. or you lose the game. and their first. string offense and their first string. defense won in that situation. >> Yeah, and it's a cardiac Colts, too. So, yes, two-minute drills definitely do. matter. And Drake May was fantastic. And. the Patriots were fantastic. Obviously, they make it to the Super Bowl last. year. So, at the end of games, they were. able to put things away. First joint. practice very early for both parties, but I, as a Colts fan, would like to let.

you know. Thank God you're saying that. because those one-on-one reps that were. coming out from the early parts of. practice, I thought we were zero and 17. We lost the last eight games of last. season. Last eight straight. I thought. that was going to continue. I thought we. were going to be worse than the Browns. once they won completely defeating the. other side after seeing those. And then. all of a sudden, Colts fan Logan starts. coming out. And then Sauce says, "It's. funny. That's the only one they put. out." Huh. That that's an interesting. I'm like, "Oh, the phone." Now the boys. are buzzing up there with the New. England Patriots who are obviously top. of the class. Speaking of top of the.

class, there's one guy that wasn't. participating yesterday for you guys. Go. ahead, Dud. >> Yeah. All eyes on Christian Gonzalez. getting his new deal. What's the last uh. the latest update with that? And tell me. what your thoughts on the secondary as a. whole. I know there's a lot of u some. moving parts back there, but that's a. great I think strength of this defense. What's going on with Gonzo and what do. you think of that secondary so far. through camp? >> So Darius, he he didn't participate uh. and he had fallen hard in the practice. on Monday in a um endzone coverage.

against Romeo Dobs. And so it's hard to. know if Christian Gonzalez didn't. participate because of maybe, you know, landing on his ankle and coming up a. little gimpy or the contract. And and. I'm still trying to get more information. as to why Gonzalez wasn't out there up. to this point. I will tell you the fact. that he has been a full participant and. in my view their best player throughout. training camp if it was the contract why. he wasn't out there that would be a.

sharp change in direction for him in. terms of approach this training camp. >> Yeah cuz we've heard about him and AJ. Brown battling. >> Oh yeah. >> day in day out. That's got to make them. all better. Now let's talk about the. wide receivers. Go ahead con man. Yeah, Reo, it seems like one of the stars. early on in camp has been Kahan Booty. and I don't know if it's cooled off a. little bit, but haven't seen him as. much. Uh, everyone kind of assumed he. was getting traded or at some point. getting moved, but because of how well. he's played, is there a chance Booty. plays the last year his contract and.

then moves on, do you expect him to be. kind of a trade deadline guy that might. get moved? What's the situation with. Booty right now, >> Connor? uh they got seven receivers that. could be on this roster, which is. probably one or two more than most teams. would keep. Talk to some people I do. inside the Patriots and they tell me. booty's going to be a big part of what. we do. I think where that could become a. little bit of a challenge is if another. team does come calling and is willing to. give them, you know, something of.

significance, you still got AJ Brown, Romeo Dobs, Pop Douglas, M. Collins, Kyle Williams, Eston Chisum III. They're. all making plays throughout training. camp. So, it's a very crowded receiver. room. And Connor, as a longtime Patriots. fan, when was the last time we could say. the receiver room had too many. receivers? I've never seen anything like. this. Maybe outside of 2007. >> You guys are speaking the same words. Yeah, he said 2007 as well. I don't know. if you heard him say that. I like that. you guys are speaking same language here.

about this particular Patriots team. And. I like that you said that. Everybody I. talk to in the Patriots says Kan Boot is. a big part of what we got going on. Now. that could change unless another team. says, "Hey, he could be a part of what. we got going on, too." And then we say, "Yeah, you're right. He could go to your. place." It's funny how football works. that way. You know, if only we love him. >> Yeah. >> Do you love him enough for like a third. rounder, >> second rounder? >> Well, how much do you love him? We We. see highlights coming from everybody. And let's not even forget about Hunter. Henry. You [ __ ] paid him. >> Yeah. >> Rookie tight end. Do you love him? >> Actually, you know what? Fourth rounder. Now that we're talking about all the.

weapons that you have up there, how much. do you love him? Let's find it out. There's a chance that that's going to. happen on any team, but certainly at. deep positions, especially with injuries. that take place across the board. Speaking of injuries, it felt like Will. Campbell had one last year and then it. changed everything. Go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Mike, as we're talking about the. Patriots, there's no questions about any. skill position or the defense. I feel. like just from a national uh. perspective. The one question that the. national people still have is the. offensive line because the last thing we. saw was the Super Bowl. How do the. Patriots feel um about the offensive. line and the additions that they made in. the offseason, including the draft?

Well, I I I believe that's going to be. the key for the offense. And Will. Campbell does look like a different. player, I would say, this training camp, especially he got injured late November. last year, his knee and when he came. back, they felt like he couldn't sort of. anchor and he he had lost some strength. and he looks better. I will say this and. and Pat, this goes to your Colts. >> Yeah. >> That Grover Stewart, that Grover. Stewart, whoa. I mean, he was he he. might have been the best player on the.

field yesterday and. >> he's the most beloved. We saw him at the. Hall of Fame. It was great to see him. It is hard not to smile as soon as you. see Grove. I like hearing he was the. best player on the field. He makes wings. in his sink. >> Okay. >> Legend, >> Grove has the lads over. He is. >> miked up, too. >> Yeah, we love good miked up. >> Yeah, we love Grover. I like hearing. that he's playing great because I. thought there was going to be a time. potentially where they were going to. keep him around strictly for vibes, you. know, cuz how much they love him, especially at that position with how big. he is. I love hearing he's playing. better than ever. I like that. Reese, thank you for the shout out to one of.

our favorites. >> That's right. And just going back on. that offensive line, I think the. Patriots feel like if they can keep the. top five healthy, which is hard to do, they'll be okay. Where where it might be. a little tricky is the depth piece for. them on the offensive line. And probably. a lot of teams would be in the same. boat. Was that the Colts there that. posted that Grover? >> Okay, >> there it is. >> Okay, [cheering]. shout out Colts social on it doing. battles. Okay, >> for the good of the program, >> for the good of the franchise, for the. good of the organization on the.

internet. We need faces out there. We. need at least a little defense right. now, too. If anybody would like to go. after some people that are going after. me, I would like to give you full go. [laughter]. Okay, we we do need defense out there at. some point. You know, there's some. terrible things being said. Uh Grover. Stewart's a man. I'm happy he's playing. well. I hope more people get to learn. about him, too. I hope he does have like. a breakout type year. Now, him and. Deorest Buckner are a problem. Need. them. >> I mean, that that that is a real problem. if if we can get that going. And uh I. like to hear we're having some success. up there against New England. New. England's a damn. >> good football. Kings of the AFC right.

now. >> Yeah. >> No, no, new year. Brand new year. >> Everybody's at the bottom. >> Brand new. Everybody's. >> Everybody's at the bottom of the aggro. crack. >> Reigning defending is typically how they. acknowledge it. So, we are the reigning. defending champions of the A. I mean, Paul Heymon would definitely say that. >> Yeah. So, if there was a crown, the. crown would be in New England right now. until further notice. >> No, but we all got the crown. Remember, uh 80 yards quarterback points. >> Yeah, sure. In gobling, of course. I'm. talking about NFL football, gentlemen. >> You're a Patriot fan. You know, that's.

that doesn't mean. >> Yeah, the crown's not with you guys. Crown Crowns in Seattle was on Hardox. >> I'm aware I I acknowledge the fact that. you only hang championship banners in. New England. However, when that and. being in Indiana, of course, they do it. differently here, but remember when when. you are. >> That's Chicago. >> Yeah. Yeah. Which was very cool. Uh when. you the year after you go to the Super. Bowl until a different team goes from. the AFC, the reigning defending. champions of the AFC is the New England. Patriots until the AFC Championship. >> Yeah. But I mean, if you're going to go.

full context like that, I need to hear. more. >> Sure. They. >> B Nicks got hurt. >> Yeah. Mhm. >> They have that they have that uh crown. in Denver. Bonus was hurt for the game. >> What about the Colts? We won 11 weeks. We got that crown, right? >> They they have the Dan Jones tours. Achilles and then the entire team fell. apart crown. >> and broke his leg, please. >> Yeah, sorry. And broke his leg also a. part of it. Josh Allen and the Bills, they have the same crown they always. have. If the rules were different, we. would have won. >> Oh, many things like that.

>> Let's talk about Chasing Crown, shall. we? Let's talk about vibes. After not. getting the crown last year, but getting. oh so close ahead of schedule. Go ahead, Ty. Last question for you, Mr. Reese. >> Yeah, Mike. After what was a very. tumultuous offseason? Uh, where would. you say the vibes are at right now with. the team as a whole? Obviously, not a. lot of new faces in there and the. expectations are very high, but does it. seem like the offseason is kind of. completely in the past now and all the. focus is on football or is there kind of. some maybe lingering things from that. tumultuous offseason? T I think it feels. like it's moved past that and I would.

say a key date for me was early June. I. felt like when they acquired AJ Brown in. that trade, I felt as a reporter being. at some of these practices in the spring. going into training camp that the energy. around the team shifted. I feel like. AJ's arrival added like a shot of energy. that they needed because they were uh. they had all these things going on. throughout the off season. And I felt. like since that point, it's sort of. taken off a little bit.

>> I love to hear it. And obviously bunker. mentality can certainly set in, especially when you're that close and. you have Drake May as your quarterback. What a stud. We appreciate the hell out. of your service to Ball and the. Patriots. How many years? 2007, you. said. >> So, well, I actually started in 1997, Pat, but I had to bring the. [clears throat] 2009 media guide for my. guy Darius. I was there when he was. coming in as a rookie. >> Love you, Mike. Appreciate you. >> 29 years. >> 41st overall pick. >> Hell yeah. Never forget it. >> What pick was I in that draft race? >> Uh oh. I don't have a cat. You would.

have been number one. [laughter]. >> That's Matthew Stafford. He's a reigning. MVP in there, ladies and gentlemen. Mike. >> Yeah. Re. >> him go. Uh. >> oh. [laughter]. >> Reese's like I don't know. 222 from the. Colts. Sorry about that. >> Reigning MVP. It's crazy. >> Still. Yeah. He's We're 22 spart same. draft. Acme and that guy still doing it. >> Take it in. that seriously this is one. of those years where like you just have. to enjoy watching Stafford and Rogers. because who knows not that you know. Stafford's on his last year but it is.

one of those things those are kind of. the it's the end of an era like it felt. like that when Philip Rivers Yeah it's. year to year like when Philip Rivers was. playing how cool was it last year to be. like holy [ __ ] we're watching Philip. Rivers play football again. >> it was like a movie it was a movie okay. throwback Thursday you know dropped Phil. Rivers on the Indianapolis Colts to take. on the future Super Bowl champions in. Seattle by the way almost win that. everything they could take. >> Groupy hits what a 60 yard. >> Groupy hits a 60 y in Seattle to win. that game. And then turns out no, it.

wasn't. It was not to win that game. The. Seattle Seahawks obviously the Kings of. the Castle, but the story of the. offseason has been the Los Angeles Rams. But not just the Rams, it's obviously. sports media. So Dallas Cowboys. Turns. out they're actually a joint practice. together. >> Wow. >> Joining us now is somebody that covered. one team, now covers the other team. Ladies and gentlemen, ESPN NFL reporter. Lindseay The. [applause]. >> Nancy, that's the difference right. there. >> Yeah, it is. >> That's the difference right there. That's Southern California. Obviously. looks amazing. Where are you right now,

Lindsay? >> Yeah, I'm at Manhattan Beach. Just. dropped a little man off at beach camp. So, uh, here we are just getting a. little exercise in and joining you guys. Thanks for having me. >> No problem, Lindsay. What What is beach. camp? We're learning how to surf. We're. learning how to build sand castles. We're learning how to get the sand out. of our shoes. What what is beach camp? >> Yeah. Yeah. Currently they're stretching. getting ready to go in the water. I. think they're like learning how to. boogie board. Uh we all heard all about. sharks and minnows. Apparently there's. like now seaweed in the sharks and. minnows. That's a new update from when I.

was a kid 30 years 40 years ago. >> Seaweeds lazy ones. What what is what is. see this what we need these things for? >> Yeah. So like he explained the seaweed. to be like you're stuck and then you. just got to reach your arms out one way. or the other to get the kids. And so the. m I thought the minnows were the lazy. ones because the other ones were getting. eaten by the sharks. But there's another. level to this now. >> Yeah. So I like that things are. evolving. Let's not be giving people. outs to not move. [laughter] I I don't. like that. That's kind of a big. initiative. Okay. Let's chitchat about. >> I mean it's going to be hard not just.

take a mental vac. Can you can you just. show us that beach real quick? Can you. just show us full screen on the beach so. we can kind of just. look at the waves? >> Yeah. There's the beach camp. Hey, kids. All right. >> The place is packed. We just had. tornadoes here in Indiana. We just had. tornado. I mean, >> won't see the sun again. >> That was a nice little mental vacation. A little moment of zen. Nobody talks. about us providing that. Thank you, Lindsay. Uh, okay. Let's talk about the. practice between the Cowboys and the. Rams. Story is Aaron Donn. He's playing. for the Rams. Yes. And then Aaron Donald.

and Miles Garrett are going to be on the. same defensive line and now the Rams are. just going to be the Avengers for the. next year or two. >> It would be like the upset of the. century at this point if Aaron Donald. doesn't come back. Sean McVey said. yesterday, no new news on that. I did. see less speed walking by started kind. of shouting at him as we're getting. ready for a live shot like thumbs up. less and less was like grinning from ear. to ear. I mean nobody around there has a. poker face. Sean S's trending up. There. is Aaron obviously Dwayne Brown is his. great coach or speed coach from. Pittsburgh. He's out here 210 there you.

see on Instagram. That's the stuff Aaron. was doing back when he was obviously not. retired and there's looking fast as ever. and freakish as ever. So uh we're kind. of waiting around. There's a thought. maybe early next week we'll have a. definitive answer on whether or not. Aaron's officially gonna come out. >> Okay. So, the thought is he will be. traveling to Australia at this point. because we didn't know if he was going. to kind of slow roll it, maybe skip the. two 17-hour flights, maybe start week. two. >> Yeah. I mean, if I thought this is just.

me thinking like Aaron Donald maybe come. back halfway through the season, but. with him talking about training camp. with Sean talking about training camp, like if he's coming back then he's going. to be Aaron Donald for week one. I can't. see him sitting out. He doesn't want to. make a play. >> Oh jeez. Okay, so Aaron Donald's going. to be next to uh MVP candidate, but. maybe not. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Lindsay. Uh Miles Garrett, I. think, has missed six practices maybe so. far in training camp. And Shawn McVey. said that he was at 85% so maybe no, you. know, cause for concern. But what is the.

deal with this? Are they kind of just. slow playing this because they know he's. unbelievable and he's going to be ready. to go week one or what is the outlook on. Miles Garrett? Yeah, the Rampers really. this is the MO they've always had. especially with their star players is to. just ensure that those guys are healthy. Sean McVey is not here to win training. camp win three season games. Obviously. we saw him deal with Matthew Stafford. last year and his back right remember. that and then we didn't hear about. Stafford's back for the rest of the. season. Miles Garrett 85% he told stoic. bay is how Lee's feeling because of.

swelling. Uh I think it was five. practices would have made yesterday that. he's missed. Um, but right now they. really don't seem concerned other than. there's no point in running Miles. Garrett out there right now. They know. what he can do. He knows how to play in. this defense. Um, so they don't need him. to be a preseason hero, training camp. hero. It would have been really nice to. see though him go against Dak Prescott. and see what he would have brought. yesterday. >> Yeah, I think Dak Prescott's probably. pretty pumped about that. Miles Garrett. is just so We was I was in the Cleveland. area last night, you know, and you're.

just chitchatting about the thought that. he is now a Los Angeles Ram. He I. thought he was gonna be Joe Thomas up. there in Cleveland after after he paid. 40 million got paid 40 million per year. after that letter came out. I think I. just assumed that he was going to be a. Cleveland Brown forever and it was. always going to be a what if what if. what if. Now we get a chance to see him. like. >> on a contender. >> prime time. >> with a lead. >> Mhm. >> Scary hours. >> It is. It really is. And he got paid. too, right? So, I mean, he he gets. everything that he was going to be able. to get at Cleveland, but then he also. gets an opportunity to have Aaron Donald.

eat up a couple people while also having. a lead probably with at least a top five. offense in uh the other side with McVey. and Stafford. This is an outrageous. situation. Obviously, Aaron Donald's big. conversation piece, but Miles Garrett. going over there is still just. absolutely absurd. And McDuffy on the. back end. >> bingo. Yeah, like Trent McDuffy, but. having him is huge, too. Just recovered. Yeah, it's ridiculous what they did on. defensive side with the reigning MVP on. the other side. Okay, let's continue. chitchat about these joint practices. Go. ahead, Con. Man, >> yeah. Uh, speaking of joint practices,

yesterday I saw a couple reports that. the Cowboys defense was the winners of. the entire day. I think going into it, everyone probably would have guessed. like, hey, Cowboys offense, Rams. offense, one of those two. But the. Cowboys defense seemingly won the day. How was their D? How was the Caleb DS. scenario? We've seen a lot of him in, you know, solo practices, but how has. his impact been for the Cowboys and is. that going to be a strength of their. team this year? >> Yeah, you know what, Caleb Downs, you. have to I spent special attention as. last week. Uh, he didn't really flash,

you didn't really notice him, so to. speak during the the practice. Uh, their. other quarterbacks, Terron Bland, Savon. Rebel, those guys were flashing out. there against Suka and Devonte breaking. up some longer passing. The Rams really. weren't able to get any explosives going. out there. Um, Quen Williams obviously. trade off that huge extension, set the. tone early. He had a run stop, went up, flexed his muscles, um, had a couple. tackles for a loss out there. So, like. their defense uh, obviously was going to.

appear better than it did a year ago. The defense was terrible in joint. practice a year ago. They bring in. Crystal Parker. So, that group is. noticeably taking steps forward. It'll. be really interesting to see by the time. they get going exactly where they're. going to be at. you can really move on. the defensive side. You can be shite and. then get really good quickly. Uh Hembo. says, "Look at the 2021 to 2022 Jets. They went from last to fourth.". >> The 2019 Dolphins 32nd, 2020, sixth. >> Texans, obviously, we've seen what. they've become as an absolute.

juggernaut. So, Hembo says it is. possible to get very, very good very, very quickly. >> Got to pieces. >> Yeah, they paid Quinnon Williams and. Jerry Jones say we got some adults in. the room now. >> We got some adults over here. Clark, Sean Gar, >> Shotty, I'm I'm going to let it be known. Shotty put on a great performance. >> at the league meetings, >> I would say. >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> I think I think that would certainly be. uh an upside to that. How about his. players running the sprints after. practice? You said that was not me. telling them to do this. This was the. players wanting to do this with the. Rams, you know, who are have been talked.

about as being the team that's going to. win all the odds on favor to win it all. They're going, we ain't doing that. Get. out of here. And then the Cowboys are in. the back with what their uh hard hat and. their lunch pail running extra sprints. What did that tell you, Lind Lindsay? That felt like a big deal. That actually. felt like a pretty big storyline, especially Shotty coming out saying that. was on them deciding to do that. Now. Cowboys players know everybody's going. to talk about this if they do it. So I. respect that as well. Uh but that's a. big time decision I think from a team. that I would not expect that from. >> Nope. >> The d the justosition of the whole thing. was pretty hilarious. Like the Rams, you.

know, Shawn McVey like the absolute. players coach. I mean, he's hard on his. guys, but you know, he really tells him. body school guys, uh, you know, fresh. and all the things. And then to see that. and then just to see an old school. mentality like we just had a hard. practice, a hard practice, like let's go. run. I know Jack was kind of chuckling. about it afterwards. I know there was. some trash talk going on with those guys. afterwards, the Cowboys and they're. coming off the field like we'll see you. guys later in December. You know, we're. going to be the conditioning ones. Uh, so that was really interesting to see. Obviously, two very different methods of.

how to end practice. >> All right, Lindsay, we appreciate you. so much. Have a good one. We'll continue. to follow along. Tell everybody at beach. camp to stay safe out there. >> And we need more sharks and minnows, not. seaweed. We need people moving out. there. You're the best, ladies and. gentlemen. It's Lindsay. >> Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Lindsay. A lot of chitter chatter. obviously there. That's sports media. dream right there. >> Oh, yeah. It is big time. >> Cowboys Rams joint practice. Oh, man. >> [ __ ]. >> How many Jerry Jones press conferences. can we get? Well, he doesn't want to do. as many as year before. What? Somebody. tell him.

>> All right. He'll do one every day. They. set up a stage for. >> Yeah. >> The dream is after practice being able. to go to that beach. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's the sports. >> That's like what the Florida Panthers. were kind of selling to all the hockey. guys. Oh yeah. >> They were like, "Hey, listen. Yeah. Playing in Canada is really cool. Playing in these cold states. Awesome. Hockey places. Certainly. We get that. >> Why don't you just do one day in our. life real quick? >> Waking up. Let's go get after it." Yeah. You want to go play some golf? They got. 45 golf courses here. >> You want to go hang out on the beach? No. problem. Go home. Guess what? You just. see your family. You know what? At. night, we'll get on our golf carts.

We'll go get ice cream. >> Yeah. >> And then we'll maybe do a late night. sesh to go to do it again. It's like. they're doing college down beach with. their families. >> That is quite an advantage, I think. >> Yeah. >> Like LA always has had that. Now, I. don't think LA right now is where. everybody is flocking to just in. society. >> But on that note, with players and. athletes and everything, >> still very much a place that people want. to get to. And then for for the. Panthers, they still show up on the ice. and they're, you know, because a lot of. times you get that type of lifestyle, you show up soft, but like the Panthers, the Heat. Now the Dolphins just got to.

get their [ __ ] together. >> Well, I don't know if the Dolphins will, but I like half of the um the Rams. though, physical team. >> Oh, yeah. >> Dominant team. >> I like what what's going on with Puka? We should have asked. He's out growing, I guess. >> Yeah. They said they're being very. cautious with that. They didn't think it. was anything serious. >> Growing if you let it get all the way. back to 100, good. If you push it when. it's not 100, forever. It'll be there. forever. Actually, the groin is just. like so annoying because the amount of. things that the groin is a part of, you. don't realize until there's a little bit. of a tweak. It's like, oh, I use this.

for literally everything that I do. It's. like, yeah, I can't even take a poop. without your groin getting activated. there. But if you if you let it get all. the way back to 100, from my. understanding, >> yeah, >> clear sailing. But if it's like 90 or. 80, you tell that. Yeah. But you can. beat that thing down. Yeah. True. Because it does kind of disguise itself. So them being safe and smart with this. is a good idea. We think now we're not. doctors. >> No. >> Sometimes sounds like they're kind of. just saying, "Hey, you know, our our. season starts week 11." [snorts]. >> Miles Garrett. Yeah. He's not. practicing. >> Yeah. >> Aaron Donald. Yeah, dude. Cool. Just.

work out over there. Puka, you feel. something? Yeah. All right. Sounds good. She's saying McVey just wants to get the. boys to first game. >> Yeah. >> Sounds very obvious that that is what. >> got to be careful. >> A lot of coaches we've talked to, that's. Let's just get to the season. Okay. >> First couple weeks though, you can get. exposed and set yourself behind. >> Yeah. We're talking about Seattle. Like. we we started this whole entire thing. talking about how good Seattle is and. they're the reigning defending Super. Bowl champions. Like if you lose a. couple of those and then we see what. happened last year. The the last week. was for the number one seed. Like that.

that might come and bite them in the ass. again. But then again, still. >> what are the stats? What are the stats. on teams that win the Super Bowl? They're good early, >> right? And that like good early, good. late. >> The the stats say like yes, teams have. gotten hot late and made it into the. playoffs. Congratulations. Uh stats say. you can start like 0 and2 0 and three 0. and four and still somehow make it. But. it's very rare. The teams that end up. winning. Yeah. From the beginning. >> Very few six seeds have ever done it. >> Yeah. We're a good we're a good football. team early and then guess what? We. become a great football team around. Thanksgiving and then we just get hot.

into the playoffs and we stay healthier. than everybody else which is. >> that's the huge thing. >> Which is what McVey is saying. >> Mhm. >> McVey saying you see these guys we got. if we just get to a game. >> we are going to be able to show up. I'm. worried about them not conditioning at. the practice. >> Yeah, >> man. Cuz I mean [clears throat] that's. different. That's a fourth quarter. difference. >> Too much time at the beach. >> How do you feel about the Cowboys. players doing that? >> I mean, I like. >> joint practice in front of cameras. knowing it's going to be a conversation, >> players decision. And I think Shottny. brought up something about them. understanding what conditioning is going. to mean for this team this year. So,

this might be a part of their like team. mantra. >> It's the culture just like we're talking. about with the Seahawks. This is uh and. and you know it better than anybody. Like it comes from selfp policing the. leadership within the locker room cuz. the coaches can tell you anything. And. look in New England that was my first. experience in the NFL. We condition. after every training camp practice as a. team. We never knew what that condition. was going to be. Bill would just get out. there and stand either 40 or 50 or. wherever and he would stand there blow. the whistle. There would be times where. the strength coach would be like, you. know, kind of you could tell he would.

looking at like, hey, that's that's. enough. This was before the catapults. and the sports brow where everything's. tracking everything and like Bill and. then but you did feel, you know, come. week six, come week seven, you felt that. fourth quarter difference when you're in. the fourth quarter and you're looking. across from a guy and you can tell like. he's gassed like that that's you you. start to lose your fundamentals, you. start to lose everything. So now it it. does start building here. You build that. foundation and then you go on obviously. everything else matters but the. conditioning is huge because once the. season comes, you know, now you're kind.

you got to get to the game. You're. waking up sore all week. Training camp. is when you kind of build that. foundation not only for yourself but for. your team. >> You bringing up the Patriots and Bill. Bichc reminds me of the do your job. documentary whenever you guys had a. conditioning period and it was the hill. or whatever. And he was like bank you're. banking this for later. You're banking. this for later. I'm like man that's a. good ment I should have had that. >> Nobody ever phrased it like that to me. >> Yeah. >> And I've hated conditioning my whole. played soccer a lot of soccer. So. conditioning was always like. >> all right about to puke here like this. And I was always bigger, you know, and.

>> I have potentially been, you know, inhaling uh air with some smoke in it. for a for a while, you know, so. conditioning was always problematic. Him. phrasing it just as easy as like you're. banking this for later. It's like that's. that's a good mindset. That's a positive. phrasing as opposed to I want to see you. die out here, you know? That's a little. different. >> It's like college. >> Yeah, college, man. I didn't think I was touching my. knees. I I I think I was still touching. the middle of my I think I was on my. thighs. >> Grab the.

>> Yeah, I I think I had a good play here. Yeah, right. [laughter]. >> Yeah, right. >> And it's been disproven. >> Yeah, air. Actually, it's good down. there or up there. Yeah, it turns out. >> No, it's not. >> Yeah, it is. >> Oh, ain't no air down there. Get up. >> Yeah, there is air down there. It turns. out. >> hands above your heads. Open up the. >> McAfee. Yeah, and I think that's what I. said actually. Uh, get your hands off. your knees. They're not. Thank you. There's no air down there anyways, [ __ ]. >> Mhm. I'm Yeah, then why does my whole. body want to do this? All right, 10. more. B, thank you. Never uh never, hey,

you're banking us for later mentality. And that's why Bellich's the best. >> Were you one of those guys that wanted. to know exactly what the conditions. afternoon run? >> You guys are the worst. >> I'm going afternoon run. I. >> afternoon. >> Yeah, I'm going right in the middle of. the day. >> I got to be first. I got to be first. >> Give me 105°. I want to know exactly. what we're doing. >> I don't want to know anything. >> Let's go. Put me through. Get through. it. Don't don't ask me either. If you're. in the afternoon, do not ask me. >> I am counting down. >> No, that's the worst.

>> I had to do a couple of the morning ones. for whatever reason something was. happening in the afternoon. And I. remember just thinking like how stupid. everybody was. Just what do you do this. every time? This is what I would say to. you. Oh, yeah. You do this every time. How many of these have we got? >> Who knows, man? [laughter]. >> How am I shut up? Get online. >> Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what it. is. And then obviously you ask the. question, you get mocked and ridiculed. It's [ __ ] 7 a.m. about to vomit all. over the place. I just like to know how. much I need to not die for these first. couple. Joining us now is a man who's. been absolutely crushing it on the. internet with the Baldi's breakdowns,

making us all much better. >> He did the early workouts for sure. Baldi. >> No, he wanted to know. >> I think he wanted to know. >> He wanted to know. >> Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now, 11-year NFL vet currently at the Chiefs. training camp alongside Ian Rapaort. Ladies and gentlemen, Brian Ber, it's good to uh have this maiden voyage. with you here today after a. >> a sweat party out here in St. uh you. know, wherever we are in [laughter] the. middle of Missouri,

>> St. Joseph's, Missouri. >> Okay. >> Uh it was uh as humid as it was hot out. here today. And so I uh Andy Reed. thankked me for bringing the humidity. and they got a good two and a half hour. work in today. >> Okay. Hey, we're talking about. conditioning right now with the Dallas. Cowboys players choosing to run extra. sprints after the joint practice with. the Los Angeles Rams yesterday. That led. us to a college conditioning. conversation. I believe you want the. Duke. Huge brain. We don't know what the. summer conditioning was. Did you want to. know what the conditioning was or did. you go in blind? >> I hated the uncertainty. Pat, we we.

conditioned when I was with the Cowboys. and Tom Lamry is our coach. We. conditioned after every practice, but we. knew what it was. So eight 110s eight, you [snorts] know, and I can still like. have nightmares at night, you know, because if you were last, you you ran. more, you know, so you don't want to be. last and you don't want to jump off. sides in a team drill, otherwise you're. running out to practice. I wanted to. know what the conditioning was and then. mentally I could prepare for it. >> Yeah, I think that's how uh 99.99999%.

[laughter] of people that go through. those workouts feel debut is a stud. I. don't care is what debut. I don't care. I'll do it. Okay, let's talk about the. Chiefs practice that you're at right. there. Patrick Mahomes obviously back. ahead of schedule, looks incredibly. healthy. Travis Kelce looks fast. How do. we kind of feel about the old studs of. the Kansas City Chiefs, the old firm, if. you will? >> Honestly, Pat, if you didn't know that. Patrick Mahomes had his knee. reconstruction, you would never know it. He took every first team uh drill like. he took so many snaps out there today. and he looks like Patrick Mahomes. He's.

hopping like that. The arm is still the. arm. He can hit you from anywhere on the. field. hit a number of deep shots to. Travis today. Like he looked awesome. when he had to scramble in a certain. drill. He scrambled. He he eluded. players, but he was accurate. It was. like te-ball out here, Pat. He was just. putting the ball right where it needed. to be. Uh time after time. Kenneth. Walker looks like he's going to be a big. addition out of the out of the back. field. But you know, Travis, I talked to. him after practice. There was more than. just a wedding this off season. There. was a conditioning level to him. There.

was a training program. And he said like. really into his 14th year here, he loves. training camp. He loves coming here, isolating, doing nothing but ball, being. around his teammates, and he looks like. he's having a good camp right now. >> Yeah, we're seeing a lot of highlights. It feels like he is uh trying to look. more explosive every rep. You know, I. feel like he is uh been questioned by a. lot of people saying his tooth is maybe. the longest in the NFL. A lot of people. saying that type of stuff about him. And. I know that he hears it. I think he.

appreciates it. And I think he utilizes. it as motivation. And also, he has the. biggest star in the world that he's. married to who works her ass off and. does what, three-hour shows. So, I. assume they have some sort of gym. >> at the at the place. >> Safe to assume. >> Probably a full training facility. >> Probably a couple gyms. >> I think about all the stages that she. probably has in different barns. He's. probably sprinting up and down the. stages, carrying fake Taylor Swifts up. and down. I couldn't even imagine how in. shape this guy is after uh watching what. that wedding was. The attention to. detail to that wedding. If it's with the. house in the gym and the workouts.

Travis might play for another 10 years. I'm excited for the Chiefs. We all are. excited for the Chiefs. And are the. Chiefs still the Chiefs? Is the Chiefs. still the Chiefs is obviously the. question. Go ahead, con man. >> Yeah, Baldi. To that point, like how has. the rest of the team looked? I know a. lot of people are talking about Rasheed. Rice and kind of pulling clips of him. not looking great. You know, Kelsey and. Mahomes, they're going to show up, but. offensive line's been an issue. People. are worried about the receiver room. Uh. defense as a whole. What is kind of your. expectation? Should we assume, hey,

Chiefs are going to be back in the AFC. Championship, maybe Super Bowl, or is. there going to be a little bit of. growing pains here? >> I think the offensive line has a chance. to be very good. Josh Simmons going. through all the training camp at left. tackle. He looks healthy. He looks. focused. His agent, Drew Ozenhouse, was. here today. This Khalil Benson that came. from the national champions at Indiana, he's competing at right guard, right. tackle right now. Trey Smith back in. there. Just talked to Creed Humphrey. Like I think this line has a chance to. be very good. The running back room is. completely new, you know, with uh with.

Kenneth Walker three sticks and EMTT. Johnson, the rookie out of Nebraska and. Demar Carry from Arizona. It's a rebuilt. running back room and I think they want. to get that running game be something to. be proud of. I think as long as you have. Momes and Andy Reid joined at the hip. and how they see the game, how they. build game plans together, I I have a. feeling that they could get back to real. prominence on the offensive side of the. ball. I hope so. I can't wait to watch. it. Whenever they had a great run game, obviously they won all the way to the. Super Bowl and won it. Pat Mahomes. wasn't asked to do much. Now granted, we.

all believe that Patrick Mahomes is the. young goat. We all have respect for him. This is the first time he's had a lot of. people overlooking him and questioning. him coming into a season. We're excited. to see how he returns. He was running. people over last year. Hopefully, he's. got that out of his system and he keeps. rolling. But that that it's hard right. now in the AFC. It is hard in the AFC. right now. And that's why obviously the. windows when they're open, you got to. take advantage. Speaking of a bunch of. windows, go ahead, Tone. >> Yeah, Baldi. We were looking at the uh. NMC North and obviously the Lions and. Packers as far as odds are at the top of. there. I know you've been to both those. camps. Not sure if you've been to.

Chicago or Minnesota yet. What are your. thoughts on the North as a whole and. specifically those camps that you've. been to. How are the vibes there? >> Well, I saw the the division winner from. a year ago, the Chicago Bears at Alice. Hall and they went through a two and a. half hour scrimmage and I Ben Johnson's. just the definition of AI. He's just a. machine and the offense looked very, very good. Caleb looked awesome. Like I. think just watching him interact with. new guys like Khalif Raymond who's a. speed demon, you know, just interacting. with the guys like he's he's in a.

leadership role. They have some work to. do on defense right now. They lost Kevin. Byer who led the league in. interceptions. They lost Nan Wright. They lost Jaquan Brisker and Kobe Bryant. who they picked up from Seattle. They. were counting on. He looks like he's. going to miss a big chunk of the season. So they've got some questions on. defense. Uh in Green Bay, Jordan Love. looked tremendous and Matt Laflur is. coaching this team the right way. He's. not happy. He's one of those coaches. that looks like he's ticked off every. day in training camp, you know, like. something's just and he's just taking it.

out. He he doesn't like players sitting. on the sideline looking too comfortable, you know, and so I feel like, you know, they have a chance rebuilding their. offensive line to be very good. We we. had Micah Parsons crash our set uh the. other day with Stacy Dales and he was. telling us that the target date is the. sixth game of the season on Sunday night. against the Cowboys. >> Oh yeah. >> And if they get him back on the sixth. game of the season with Jonathan Ganon. coaching that side of the ball, they. could be a a real real player. And then.

Detroit, I was there the other day and. Jir Gibbs and Aman Ra and it was great. They just lost their center and they. were really counting on the center. because they really honestly Pat they. hadn't really. >> recovered from the the the retirement of. Frank Ragnau. They struggled last year. at that position. They thought they. upgraded with Kade Mazize and now they. got to find a suitable replacement in. the middle of that offensive line. So. they have a little bit of a question. mark there. But the talent Jameson. Williams, Aman Ros St. Brown, Jamir. Gibbs, you know, the tight ends are all.

back healthy. They could be a very good. offense. >> Yeah. Can the defense stop anybody? I. hope so. Uh Foxy, who's the center that. you guys just picked up or are putting. in there for some reps? >> Uh he played for Ohio State in Alabama. >> Yep, that's him. >> Yeah, he's a good player. He's big, too. >> By all accounts, sounds like he's a. great player. >> And in Alabama, he had a little uh. situation with uh the Yips and I think. he just wanted somewhere new. Goes to. Ohio State, becomes captain, becomes the. entire thing. Like I I think he's a. stud. I mean, obviously this is a it. happens in the NFL on a regular basis. It's not a great way to get your first.

thing. You know, guy supposed to get he. gets hurt, but he could potentially be. the next Frank Ragnau. Who remember. Baldi? They literally did they roll him. in or did they put him in a bag? I don't. remember. >> I think he might have been a bag. >> They put him in a bag. Frank Ragna last. year put him in a bag, walked him back. into the building. Oh yeah. He's playing. Thanksgiving. >> You know, I mean, look, this is this is. not cliche, Pat, but if your center. isn't strong, your offensive line's not. going to be good. >> Agreed. >> You know, we just talked to the league's. best and Creed Humphrey right here. Like.

the center of that line for Patrick. Mahomes is is stout. It's strong. And. when they lost Ragna, they they they. played a bunch of guys in there. They. weren't very good. Jamir Gibbs still ran. the ball because he's a home run hitter. But I feel like if they want to win the. line of scrimmage with Pen Su going over. to the left tackle right now, they've. got to be good up front. And Jared. Goff's a guy who's not going to run away. from anybody. He wants to beat you from. that postage stamp behind the center. Uh. they need to get that thing firmed up. right now. >> Okay. Hey, I appreciate how much respect. you have for the offensive line.

>> Those Baldi's breakdowns, >> man. >> Hey, he can be worked up, bro. He can be. jacked up in there whenever you're. breaking and pretty technologically. advanced, too, the way you're savvy with. it all. >> Well, not just that, Pat. Like, I'm. going to do punters this year on your. behalf because I see legs, the the the. punters. Everybody's 6'5 now, Pat. They're all tall. They all got these. long levers and there's these spirals. that are coming off these feet. watching. these uh special team drills right now. Like, are we gonna get to the stage. where we're literally outkicking our.

coverage? Like, the gunners can't get. down. >> Baldi, Baldi, if you're going to do. breakdowns on punters, you need to know. first things first. That's all a lie. You can't out kick good coverage. [laughter]. >> You can only out kick [ __ ] coverage. Yeah, if you have shitty coverage, you. can outkick it. But if you have good. coverage, there's no out kicking it. You're trying to flip a field. So, I do. appreciate people that aren't punters. go, "Oh, yeah." is like, "Well, you just. gave an excuse to [ __ ] nine guys that. aren't worth their pay." [laughter]. Okay, so let's blame the punter. Let's. not do that. Because as somebody who has.

certainly outkicked his coverage, right? Uh multiple different times. It's like. there's a couple times where I've hit a. low liner, too, and then somebody just. makes a big play for us and it's like, "Hey, you just flipped the field 58. yards." It's like, yeah. But there's a. chance that thing is a touchdown. So, if. you're going to break them down, let's. make sure we're on the punter side here. Okay, Baldi. We don't need more anti-. punter [ __ ]. Listen, I'm taking notes right now, Pat. Like, I'm taking notes. I'm I'm going to. file it. Duke, you'll be out there in. the next breakdown. >> That's Duke. Yeah, I hear it in there.

That That's That Duke brain. understanding it. But yes, to your. point, though, to your point about the. punters, they're all massive. I mean, I. was probably the shortest punter in the. league whenever I was in the league. I. would assume I was. >> Okay. >> Yeah, you're back, Baldi. You're back. You lost a little service. We're out. there in the elements office. This is. what it's like being at training camp. Speaking of training camps, everybody's. trying to get to the same place. Go. ahead, D. Yeah, Pat mentioned those. Baldi breakdowns, too. Those inspired me. to put some breakdowns on the net. Seeing those mangled fingers going in. there, breaking down. [laughter]. Absolutely love it. But, uh, going to.

ask you because of that and because. you've been boots on the ground a lot of. these camps. You mentioned the Bears. There we go. There we [laughter] go. What team What team I guess player or. coach are you kind of higher on than, you know, the the average fan or analyst. right now going into this season? Well, I think that, you know, if you. look at a like, look, one of the the. biggest trades we've ever seen was Miles. Garrett to LA in in essence for Jared. Verse. Like Jared Verse is a stud and. he's going to have a monster year in.

Cleveland. Now, he's not Miles Garrett, nobody else is, but I would say just. watch out for the year Jared Vers has. First of all, he's embraced the trade. He's an Ohio kid. He's in Cleveland. It's It's not the greatest situation, but you wouldn't know it talking to him. Like just watching that kid work, like. he's going to have a monster year in. Cleveland. Just it's just one guy right. now, but I feel like, you know, it's a. guy that probably got overlooked because. of the trade. >> Got into a fight with a guy he was. mentoring just a week beforehand. Love.

that type of Feno, I believe, is who he. got into it there. Okay, we can't talk. about Cleveland without talking about. the quarterback situation. What are your. thoughts on it? We, as humans that have. been in the league. >> Mhm. see $230 million guaranteed to a. guy. If he can get onto a football. field, the owner is probably going to. force him to be a starter, but that has. not been a conversation at all. Todd. Monkin has come out and said, "Hey, this. a competition." And then it was also uh. revealed that Todd Monkin was the one in. Baltimore that wanted to draft Shadore. So, he's a big fan of Shadore. So, with. all that being said, how do you see this.

working out? And what are your thoughts. on where Cleveland is at in Todd's first. year? >> Yeah, I was in Cleveland last week, Pat, and it was Shador Sanders day. They've. been rotating days back and forth. So, Shador took all the number one reps when. I was there. Uh, he looked good. This. uh, you know, this this Boston kid that. they drafted out of Washington looked. really really good. Think he's been. elevated to the first team already. Uh, what Todd Mon wants is he wants the. quarterbacks to decide it. He doesn't. want to have to make the decision. himself. The play of the quarterback.

should determine the players are going. to know who's the best quarterback, the. best option for the team is. You can't. lie to your team. And so, he wants the. quarterbacks. One guy's going to get, you know, the first team reps in the. first preseason game. Second guy will, you know, get the second preseason game. They've rebuilt the offensive line. So, the line is trying to figure it out and. get together. You always want to see the. starting quarterback have a chance with. the starting offensive line. And that's. something to be determined uh as they. build this offensive line with George. Warhop and Bobby Johnson, the offensive.

line coaches. >> Yeah, I like Todd Monk and the way he's. handling it all. I'm excited to see. Cleveland maybe have success. Yeah, >> you know, maybe have success over there. be fun for their team. Obviously, new. stadium coming in. I got a chance to fly. over where that's going to be. That's. going to be a gigant I mean, that is. going to be a huge thing. They're. obviously not happy that's being. covered, but I think the amount of [ __ ]. that's about to come through Cleveland. is going to be gigantic. Maybe it's. their time. Daniel Ouousi. uh reported that the Browns did I get. that right? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. >> Oay or Oay? We had him on last week.

>> Yeah, we did. I think he said last week. he said it was good. >> Yeah, I know. That's what I was trying. to in real time because you just. tweeted. You said Todd Monkan will tell. Deshawn or Shadore who will be starting. after the Bears practice. So maybe we. get a little bit of information to. overreact to. What does that mean for. the regular season? I mean, who knows. when it's all said and done? Good luck. to Cleveland. Okay, last question here, Baldi. August 12th, 2026. Who's winning the Super Bowl? >> I mean, like everybody else, like how. are the Rams going to lose it right now?

Like how how does the Rams. >> How do they lose a game, Baldi? How do. they lose a game? in Seattle sitting. there. >> like everybody wants to talk about Aaron. Donald and that maybe that happens and. you know maybe you know Superman sets a. new sack record this year or maybe Matt. Stafford's the MVP of the league and and. all of that but like you can't overlook. what they did with Tread McDuffy, Jaylen. Watson, you know, uh what Kobe Turner. has done. Like they've got so many good. players. They filled their holes in. special teams and that corner and then. you added these studs on the defensive.

line. Like how. I I I don't know how they lose. [laughter] it right now. I. >> mean, Baldi, I went through their. schedule a couple of times on my phone. and I was like, let let's say Aaron. Donald's playing cuz it seems like. >> that that is what's happening. It's. like, okay, who's moving against them? You know, who's going to move? Sam. Darnold going to be able to move against. him? It's like, well, they have been. able in the past. Kubak's gone, though, so like what's that going to look like? I like Seattle, but they got a whole new. thing going, especially with their OC. leaving. And then you start looking on.

the NFC side, it's like Green Bay, I. guess Green Bay could be a team that. could go on a run. Minnesota Vikings. announced who their starting quarterback. is. You talk about Todd Monkin wanting. Shador and Deshawn to decide it. How'd. you feel about KC coming out? Seemingly. it's been 50/50 in saying that Kyler's a. starter. That's for the locker room, right? He's saying that for the locker. room or is he saying it for everybody, you think? >> No, I think he's saying for everybody. because honestly the the talent that. made Kyler Murray the first pick in the. draft is still a talent. His arm is. elite. His accuracy is elite. Um he's.

with he's in in an organization that's. infinitely better than any team he. played on in Arizona to to have the. receivers he have a a veteran offensive. line Aaron Jones behind him a play. caller in in KC like this is a great. situation. So make this statement now. Let him take all the number one reps the. way we saw Mahomes do today. Let him. start building the camaraderie with. these guys and let him like start. figuring it out. Like this is going to. be a great situation. The contract is is.

so favorable right here. He can play. himself into a huge contract and in a. great situation on a team that with. Brian Flores calling defense like this. could be a very good situation in. Minnesota with Kyler Murray. >> We cannot wait to watch Kyler Murray. because I think only the bangers survive. in my brain for Kyler Murray. So, I only. think about him running 450 yards in one. play and then scoring the two-point. conversion or whatever or scrambling to. his left crossbody out to the right. sideline hovering across cuz his arm is.

outrageous. Remember, only guy ever in. the history of sport. >> which we love. >> sport. >> to be top 10 in MLB and NFL draft. I. mean, that is the right arm that this. kid has. So in a Kevin Okonnell offense, you would assume. >> Justin Jefferson, >> you would assume. >> Joy, >> you would assume. >> he's your. >> You would assume Aaron Jones. You would. assume that Kevin Oonnell could find. where he can he and you see these. highlights and obviously there's low. lightss too that have come from Kyler.

Murray's football play. Okay, that has. certainly been the case. We have seen. low lightss. We haven't seen the Arizona. Cardinals go win a Super Bowl, anything. close to it. Okay. So, we certainly, but. it's hard for me not to get excited. about him throwing one of those 30 yard. lasers. >> And if it takes some time, beef is one. of the best DCs in the league, >> actually. Oh no. Is Minnesota about to. just. >> huge year for KC and Minnesota? >> Yeah, they better win. >> What do you think? I mean, they better. win. >> What do you mean? If they don't win, you. think? >> No.

>> All right. We hope not, Baldi. We. appreciate the hell out of you, man. Great to chat with you. >> Love it, Pat. Yeah. Talk to you soon, buddy. >> Yeah, I hope so. Ladies and gentlemen, that's Brian Bowman. >> All day. >> All day. >> How about that finger? >> Oh my god. >> Pretty crazy. >> Quality is awesome, >> dude. Back in the day, 11 years in the. NFL. >> Thing takes a left. >> Boom. That's what he does. Boom. Then. guy jukes. [laughter] That just goes sideways and. then he looks at it. >> Man, I guess I'm not going to fix that. ever. Now he's just a ninefingered.

hoping that the ring finger doesn't go. >> Yeah. >> Old buddy tape. That's his old No, I. don't think he did that right because I. think that does straighten it a little. bit. That that thing he had to just look. at it. >> Whatever. >> Forever. Just going to leave it because. I think they try to pop that. I think. >> from my understanding if it's that way, you just looked at it and say it's done. forever. I got nine fingers now. >> Yep. >> It's good for breakdowns. >> Respect. >> Can't get somebody going sideways. Hour. two on the other side. Be a friend. Tell. friend something nice. We have an opportunity to give away.

$75,000. to a giving name Daniel Venor. [cheering]. >> Absolutely. >> You're a sophomore, correct? >> Yeah. >> What is your major? >> Civil engineering. >> Okay. So, what's that mean? What is. civil engineering? >> Uh, I don't really know. >> Have you ever kicked a ball before? >> I have. I have. >> Wayne, were you a soccer player? >> Soccer player. Yeah. >> Okay. How were you at kicking soccer. ball? It's pretty good. >> I was okay. I was good. Have you ever. said anything negative about football. kickers? >> Maybe once or twice. >> Daniel. >> Damn, Daniel. We don't need that. You.

make a field goal here from 33 yards. uphill. You're the civil engineer. You'd. have to tell me. I think it's about a 40. yard kick. If you're able to do that, we. will give you $75,000. >> All right. >> He's got no laces. >> Yeah. What do we got going here? Can we. get Can we get a shot of shoes? >> What time? >> Can we get a shot of the shoes? >> Daniel showed up in his vans with no. laces. What time did you get here for. this? about 11:40 last night. >> Need a lot of power. >> Good luck, Daniel. [cheering].

>> I'm not feeling it. Not feeling it. [screaming]. >> Wait a second. >> Just like everything this morning, that. was a surprise. We did not expect that. >> Let's go. We got to do one more. One. more kick. for $100,000. >> You got [cheering] this, dude.

>> Let's go. >> How about this, Daniel? How about this, Daniel? Not only is this one for. $100,000, if you make it, we'll add. another $100,000 to the $500,000. donation we're about to make from. College Game Day to the hurricane. relief. It could be 600,000 if you make. this with a h 100,000 going into your. pocket. Daniel, this is bigger than you. Let's make a kick. >> Way to overcome the shoes here. That was. a heck of an effort. >> Come on. You got this. >> In Berkeley, California. >> You got it.

>> Hell yeah. >> Great job. Damn Daniel. [cheering]. Damn Daniel. [cheering]. >> Are you kidding me?

I didn't, you know,

everybody was kind dressed around us, you know, and uh I guess my backwards. hat certainly. certainly caused a little chaos, I. guess, out there. Uh my head's too big. to really wear a hat forwards, I will. say. Uh, but I do appreciate that. I uh. I maybe should have had something a. little nice, but I was at the Patriot. game. Come on. >> And nobody's talking about it. Air Force. Ones. USA Air Force Ones. >> Oh, wow. Yep. >> Okay. >> Yeah. Nobody's talking about the USA Air. Force. >> Was it Hat USA, too? >> Yeah. Team USA baseball.

>> Team USA baseball. I was I was there for. to celebrate these United States high. schoolers. Now, [clears throat]. after, you know, we start watching this, I immediately, the person I am, I'm. like, I got a thousand ideas for this. thing. Oh my god. We need we need old. mech over here. We need the agro crag. back here. We need pullup. And then also. we need to we need to take this thing on. tour to make sure we're getting all the. right high schoolers to be in this. thing. So like the future of what these. can become I am such a huge fan of and.

the initiative. And I'll tell you what, I think there's a lot of powerful people. that are wanting this to succeed as. well. And I'm a fan of that. The NFL. play 60 thing that was a big push for a. long time. I was so confused on why that. was an initiative. They're like, "We got. to tell these kids to play for 60. minutes a day." I'm like, "60 minutes a. day? What else are they doing?" And it's. like, "Well, there's a lot of. distractions now. You got a lot. You got. you got your iPhone. You got iPad. Obviously, there's many other options to. do. The kids aren't even riding bikes. anymore. They're on ebikes. It's like. they're telling people to be active for.

60 minutes. We might as well tell them. 12 hours to be." And I was like, that. was a shock to me that that was. happening. Now, it's only even gotten I. think more so. So, anything that's. promoting competition, fitness, activity. for the next generation, I'm about it. And uh I uh I'm a huge fan of this. concept and theory. And I think it's. going to be gigantic. Shout out uh to. Mr. President for the hospitality uh and. also being a driving force for this. entire event to happen. I was uh.

fortunate to kind of hear the. behindthescenes stories about how this. all came together and why this came. together. It's like I think this thing. has a chance to be 10, 20, 30, 100 years. of something special and it was cool to. be a part of AJ over there in the great. state of Ohio. >> Yeah, it was it was cool to to see the. whole situation. Uh, also I think you're. you're you may have been worried it. looked like you pissed your pants. It. did not. Even walking in it didn't look. like you peed your pants even though I. know you were completely soaking wet. standing out in the rain. >> Drenched. Yeah, drenched. And I thought. to myself, oh, they'll probably have. like a change of clothes at this thing.

for the president. Sure, >> there's probably a change, you know, >> there's going to be a wardrobe. >> I didn't know. I didn't know if I buy. merch, you know. I was going to buy. merch maybe. >> There you go. Yeah. Yeah. >> I I like is there I was drenched, man. Obviously, it was really coming down. It. It was really coming down out there. And. uh. >> where was Gum storing this? >> Gumps. So Gumps was standing either. under a wing. >> They were searching them. >> Gump was either under the wing or not. So I go to Marine One. >> Yeah. >> Helicopter. >> Yes. Incredible helicopter. Uh. unbelievable setup in there. I bet it's.

a plane. That's the best. >> Couple ooze up there in the front. Also. couple dog sergeant major up there. It. was incredible. As I'm doing that, I. guess what you don't see on camera is. Gumpy spring to an Osprey plane. helicopter thing. >> Those are awesome. >> On the other side, he gets in with the. entire. >> Oh, yeah. >> strapped in. Okay. He's in an Osprey. helicopter. There's four of those. Okay. That are tailing the Marine One. helicopter. And I'm sitting in there. Okay. President of the United States is. right here. We're just his entire staff.

I believe there's some pretty important. things in there. Okay. >> Safe to assume. >> right behind him. I think I g I gave a. little. [snorts]. >> just in case. >> Pretty powerful. >> We got in there. >> Yeah. That seems like whatever it is. Just conversation, you know, trying to. like figure it all out. What's all going. on? Look out the window. You see Gumpy. and his Osprey, you know, just flying. right by us over like. >> he's on the turd. It was an insane. >> Did I see the back of the Osprey was. open? He was ready to jump up. >> so sick. [laughter] They they told him. they said, "Uh, you're gonna want to.

wear headphones. It gets loud in here or. whatever. You don't want to wear and. Guppy, you know, like, oh, I don't want. to be a bother. I don't want to be a. bother. You know, you don't need to give. that to me." That thing starts out. He's. outside literally sitting right next to. those choppers pretty much. Heck, puts. the headphones on, has strap in. I'm. like, "Gumpy's maybe going to the US. military right now. [laughter] Love that. that's happening." And uh but it was it. was a it's a cool initiative that I I. think a lot of people that have a lot of. say are behind like the head of Disney. being there is gigantic. Josh Dearo he.

obviously just got named the head of. Disney within the last year. So. everything that he's doing for the first. time is kind of a big precedent setting. thing. Feels like he is a big fan of. sports and big fan of like fitness. I I. I love the chance to get to chat with. him. I love what he's about. Obviously. he's an incredible suit as well. He's. the head of Disney. I mean, the last. one, the Bob Father, is now an owner of. the Lakers. He's considered like the. greatest suit in the history of suits. with what he's been able to do with. Disney. It's like Josh certainly a. talented suit and executive and. everything like that, but he's a sports.

person. He's fitness person, kids, sports people, fitness people. So, I. think this is a huge I think in his. eyes, he's seen the same thing that I'm. thinking like, hey, this could be good. for years, generations potentially, especially if we spotlight and make it. bigger. So, I I was honored to be a part. of last night. Like at like actually I I. felt like that was the beginning of. something big. Boy, people said some. mean stuff to me. AJ said some mean. stuff. >> Are you surprised? I mean, come on now, >> dude. I guess not. But that is, you. know, it is fascinating. You know, it's. very fascinating how that just.

automatically is just assumed that. that's how it's going to. >> that's real. >> Hell yeah. >> Oh yeah, shook the camera. >> I mean, you could last night if it was. >> We lost camera 3 for a second right. there. >> The Thunderdome. >> It had stopped here. What's that buddy? >> It hasn't stopped here. Thunder, lightning all the time. Huge rain. >> here to you, right? I mean, this is. normally what happens. >> We usually We usually get a little after. you. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yesterday it was crazy. Anytime a. pilot goes on. Hey, going to be a little. bit of a gnarly ride here. So.

>> gnarly. Okay. Gnarly. >> Supposed to get worse. >> Good description. >> It is supposed to get worse. Yeah. >> Here. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> We're kind of just in it till 5:00 at. least and then it's supposed to maybe. dissipate a tiny bit and then we'll come. back tonight. >> All right. So, if this screen goes. completely black, uh, and we lose audio, could be people mad about last night. >> Could be. >> Could also be storm. >> Could be. >> And what we'd like to say is just know. that if it goes pitch black there, we. will always be promoting future. generations being active and getting. into sports and fitness. Just know that.

you can put that on the uh. >> you put that on ticker forever. I'm a. big fan of that. I love that. I'm very. thankful for sports. I'm very thankful. that I uh was taught at a young age like. hey you can get in shape, you can take. care of your body, this is how you go. about doing it. I think sports fitness. and opportunities provide that. So I. will continue to pound that drum. especially if it's going to be something. that could potentially be nationwide. with every single high schooler. Debut. was a little confused on who was there. >> Yeah. What kind of He said he had ideas. I'm very very curious what those ideas. could be. >> You spent a lot of time in locker rooms.

You've seen a lot of athletes AJ across. the country I'd say. I think uh. [laughter]. >> I don't know what you're saying. I'm not. sure what you're saying. >> I think those people might be doing. their sport though. Like if if this. thing. >> Where were the black kids? [laughter]. >> Huh? Where were they? I didn't see them. >> That's what you been. >> Yeah, I didn't see any. I mean, reservations. I mean, I'm in South. Florida. We got All right. >> We don't have all the answers. >> I don't see those. >> Tribal tribal tribal. Sorry. Tribal. >> Where the trials? >> We don't know.

>> How do you get in? How do you sign up? >> The finals, baby. >> I I would like to let you know. show up. The family guys, the family guys didn't. show up [laughter]. >> as I was walking. >> Yep. All right. >> As I was walking in that parade at the. beginning, >> 14. >> This kid's in puberty. I don't know. I. got a lot of questions. >> I'm walking in a parade. This is my. first time having eyes on anything. [laughter] Okay. I got a lot of. questions. My first time seeing. anything. I was very I was Look, I'm. even in the middle. Okay. All right. Then I turn around and I see all the. kids. I'm like, fascinating. Okay. I I. I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued by Okay.

All right. >> You talk to these kids. are you? So, you. can confirm these are real kids. >> Real kids. Yes. All of them very nice. They all have great stories. Obviously, they're all very enthusiastic. It felt. like it was kind of also a good summer. camp for them. They obviously had. friends that were competing or behind. them, you know. But I did think. immediately as I was walking up there. cuz I thought this would be so cool for. me if I could do this, you know, when I. was in high school. This would have been. something that would have been gigantic. for me and my family. This would have. been and this would have been a uh an. opportunity for me to be able to. showcase my. eclectic.

athleticism. >> There you go. >> For money as a high schooler. That that. would have been a huge thing for me. So, as I was looking around, I was I I was. starting to think like, I don't see any. Miis really here. And then I thought to. myself, oh, there's going to be a lot of. people thinking that as I was looking. around, which then I immediately go, we. got to get this thing. >> I don't see Pat, you see AJ HR, you see. Cam Hazard out there. I see I don't. know. >> Rockwell was a dog. All right. >> Yeah. Wait. Sure. Whoa, whoa, whoa. No. spoilers. No spoilers. Jeez. But we do. need to get we do need to make sure that.

becomes. >> guess I'm going to watch tomorrow. Thanks [laughter] D. >> No, it's on ABC last night. >> It's on ABC tomorrow. >> Oh, no. Yeah, my my thing my ESPN gimme. It was storming out here so couldn't. connect. >> Thanks a lot. >> As long as you have internet sitting up. there with the president of Disney, ABC, ESPN, United States of America tried to. find. >> and your internet just couldn't do Okay. Okay. Anyways, on that note, we do need. to make sure that that becomes a very. well, which once again, exactly kind of. to the point of all this, we think this.

could be a very cool thing for. everybody. So, I am uh I am certainly a. supporter. Now, speaking of being a. supporter, there are people out there that would. like to earn other people's support by. paying 12.5 billion dollars for the Los. Angeles Lakers. Ladies and gentlemen, joining us now is the person that broke. the news this morning as Kushner and. Iger by the Lakers from a guy that just. bought it last year for 12.5 billion. dollars. Bob Iger, former head of. Disney, now owner of Lakers, the one who.

broke the news, who went through the NBA. finals with two sprained ankles. >> That's right. >> Yeah. Still on the court, ladies and. gentlemen, Raone Shelbour. >> Two sprains. You saw me hobbling around. the Madison Square Garden. >> Not a pretty sight. >> No, I saw you toughing it out. >> Yeah, it wasn't hobbling. It was a It. was a Wow, >> that lady sprained both of her that she. Carson went. >> Both of her ankles are [laughter]. sprained and you were still out there on.

the court in the back. >> It was the Knicks. >> It was the Knicks. >> I understand that, >> right? This wasn't just any NBA finals. This was the Knicks. >> Yeah, but I You know what we think? You. would have done it for anybody, Remote, cuz you're an absolute dog. Now, let's. continue to move forward about a big. move that you broke today. Um, >> this is huge. Obviously for all of. sports, but definitely the NBA, one of. the most storied franchises, now sells. for 12.5 billion in Los Angeles. This. came about pretty quickly. Is that what. we're reading and learning? And did you. expect or anybody expect this was a.

possibility? >> Yeah, I I got a tip on this last night, real late last night, LA time. I think. the the agreement just closed right off. right around when I got a tip and stuff. and it was somebody called me and said, "Are you sitting down?" [laughter]. said, "Okay, should I?" And and I I. didn't know if it was true uh at the. time. It took me kind of all night to. confirm it. Um and obviously this. morning, uh we were able to report it. and it was Pat I I mean my mind is still.

a little blown here. like this is a lot. of money, but not even just the money, it's how fast this closed. Uh, from what. I understand, Iger and Josh Kushner were. in the expansion process trying to bid. on the Vegas team. Those talks are going. nuts right now. I think the number for. the Vegas expansion team is climbing. close to what Mark Walter paid for the. Lakers back last year, which was $10. billion. And at some point, these two. guys are pretty smart and they go, "Well, why would we buy an expansion.

team for 10 and then have to spend. another two and a half to build the. stadium in Vegas without at least. calling Mark Walter and seeing if we. could buy the Lakers for 12 and a half, right?" So on Sunday, from what I. understand, he got a Mark Walter got a. call from I I believe it was Josh, but I. it might have been Bob. It was this. group. Okay. and just said, "Are you are. you open to this possibility?" And Mark. wasn't really looking to sell, but he. had to think about it. And he had a day.

to decide. And then they got to work on. the agreement. And it all wrapped up. since Sunday. I mean, nobody knew. Like. everyone I called trying to confirm this. was like this all just happened really. fast. And I think we're all making sense. of what this means for the Lakers going. forward. Mark had just put in all these. Dodger guys. They had just hired all. these people. And from what I all those. people, it's gonna be business as usual. until this sale closes. The NBA will. have to vote on it. They'll have to. approve them as owners. But there is a.

sale agreement in place right now and. it's for Mark Walters shares. So the. Buzz family still has a minority stake. in this team. Uh what does that mean for. them? We're still figuring it all out. >> Okay. So, thank you for all the. information and for the journalism as we. have a 12.5 billion dollar deal with one. of the largest sports franchises in the. world. Bob Iger, one of the greatest. deal makers of all time. >> I think that is why he became, you know, who he became at Disney promoter saying. yes. I would say he would be argued as. one of the greatest deal makers to ever.

exist. Kushner obviously incredibly. successful and I assume he would have to. be a good dealmaker. They put a deadline. on him, right? Didn't they say, "Hey, you got till like this time to figure. this out." But once you start piecing. the numbers together, 10 billion for the. Vegas team. Got to build a franchise. Got to build a brand. Got to build an. arena. Got to build everything. Plus. expansion draft. Who knows who the hell. we're going to end up with. We got Luca. in LA with the Lakers. We don't own the. arena. >> Okay. We don't own the arena. But if. it's going to cost us 10 billion to try. to build a brand, 12 billion does make a. lot of sense if you just have an extra.

two and a half billion sitting around. You're crazy. >> Which leads to who's the money behind. this? Kushner is the money behind this. Do we know how this has to operate? Yeah, he so he owns he owns a company. called Thrive Capital, which is a big a. big fund right now, but they started. something in May called Thrive Eternal, which is a kind of a a separate fund. that, you know, in this era of AI and. all that, they want to invest in eternal. type brands and legacy brands. Their. first investment was a minority share of. the San Francisco Giants. >> Um, and this one is obviously quite a.

bit bigger. This is, you know, I mean, we had this conversation when Mark. bought the team. How could it be worth. $10 billion? Well, all around the world, I think you can name the the Dodgers, the Lakers, the Knicks, maybe the. Patriots now, maybe around around the. world, not just not just. >> Yankees. I I mean, I think there's five. or five or six big teams like this. Maybe the Golden State Warriors at this. point, they actually own their arena. >> Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Riverowboy, >> Bruins, [laughter].

>> but but I think look, it's the brand. I. mean, it's and this is if you're Mark. Walter, it's look, there is this federal. investigation that that he's been under. for the last year or so. I think this. predates even his buying of the Lakers. that this is not connected to that, but. it obviously was in the background of. all of this. This is not Mark looking to. sell, but this was two smart guys who. said we should place a call. And Josh. lives in has a house in Malibu. I think. Bob lives here in Los Angeles. Um, these. are huge sports fans. I first, even.

though he was technically our boss, right, Pat? He was all of our bosses. I. met him when he was a courtside season. ticket holder with the LA Clippers. He's. a huge sports fan. Yes. He tried to help. bring the LA the NFL to Los Angeles a. few years ago. He was involved with that. Carson group that was trying to bring. the Chargers and Raiders here. So, he's. had an interest in this. And obviously, he's got time now. He retired at Disney. >> He had a a cheese sculpture, I do. believe, of Lombardi. >> in his office if I'm if I'm remembering. accurately. Right. >> You did say that. Yes.

>> Yes. He that's like right as soon as he. walks in. He has uh there's like a. Rogers jersey, I believe, or like right. here. He's huge Green Bay Packers fan. Then there was a cheese statue of. Lombardi there in his office. Yeah. So, he uh definitely loves sports. He was a. Clippers guy. Yeah. >> Yeah. He was a Clippers guy. I think. it's going to be pretty easy for him to. go ahead and bop over to the Lakers. I'm. very surprised that some other guy who. has season tickets to the Lakers. >> didn't figure out a way to do this. >> Who's that? >> Yeah. Yeah, I'm telling you.

>> Might be looking at that Vegas team. >> Ari Gold might be trying to move into. Yeah, I paid five grand. I take it. I'll. put up a three if I want to. That. actually probably happened uh straight. out of Entourage. This is a big deal. Now, let's talk. Luca put out a tweet, of course, saying, "Hey, I can deal with. changes." Debb has a question for you. >> Yeah, like you mentioned earlier, two. sales in less than two years. Have you. spoke to any of the players or people. that are in front office positions uh in. that Lakers organization since this last. uh sale? Um, I think they found out about when I.

found out. Like I don't think this was. been Nobody had really looped everybody. in. I don't This happened so fast. I. think everybody's just making sense of. it now. Like it's it's all it all. happened fast. Um, they all are this. morning. They know, you know, and. everybody's wrapping their head around. it. But because of how fast this went. down, um, nobody has any idea what to. what this means yet. Like I I've checked. in over at the Lakers. They've, you. know, they just hired a bunch of people. Yeah. So, they're going to those people.

It's business as usual until this sale. closes. There's a board of governors. meeting next month. I I guess it could. close as soon as that. You asked about. the money earlier. Clearly, they had. their financials in order because they. were in the expansion process. So, if. you're already bidding on the expansion. process, you you got you got the money. lined up. And so, I they've already been. vetted to some extent by the NBA if. they're this far down the road in that. expansion with Vegas. But I also think. if you're the rest of the NBA, I this we.

all thought the two expansion franchises. what six 8 billion. I I think it's going. to be more than that from what I. understand. And and uh jeez, everybody. gets a cut of that. And and when you. know, Vegas is pretty much an LA market. Like when the Lakers play a preseason. game, they're all Laker fans there. And. so this is um this is now LA uh being. you know if you if you why buy Vegas. when you can buy LA when you can buy an. established team and brand with a. superstar that's in place. >> for basically the same amount of money.

that they were going to have to go for. in Vegas. >> Yeah. Very smart move by Bob and Josh. I. mean that's probably going to happen. going forward if I had to guess. And. Bob's got relations so many. relationships internationally. business-wise. Not that Kushner doesn't. from our understanding, but yes, I I. would assume the Lakers are about to. become international. >> We're going on tour, especially with. Luca. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I mean, you. >> I mean, >> come on. You get rid of LeBron and then. the team sells for 12 and a half. And. now Luca is kind of the H. Unbelievable.

stuff. We appreciate your reporting. >> You got it, Pat. >> Romano. >> Yeah. Ramona, [applause]. >> senior writer for ESPN. >> Got a tip late last night that it was. happening. >> It's insane. I kind of heard as they. were signing the uh how much money? 12. and a half billion. >> LeBron knew. >> Shams must be kicking himself. >> You think he left because of the sale? >> Oh, he's had enough of this [ __ ]. >> Shams. >> Who was the owner of the 76ers? >> I don't know now. >> Is it Fanatics? He had Josh Harris.

>> Josh, right? Yeah. I thought he had to get. out, too. >> I sure. >> cuz he went to the Commanders. >> I thought they both sold. Yeah. I don't. know who the owner is. >> That's a great question. Harris Blitzer. So that's Josh Harris. >> Oh, Josh Harris. So you he goes NBA and. NFL. >> Good move. >> They have another lead. >> Yeah, I think it's a good move. >> These owners. Think about the NFL teams. now. The Lakers are worth how much? >> Yep. >> 12 a.5 billion. >> What you say? We want 40 in that team. >> Yeah. No [ __ ] actually. And then.

somebody said, "Well, that makes the. Dallas Cowboys worth like 16 15." It's. like, do you think if the Dallas Cowboys. weren't for sale, they wouldn't be able. to get 25? probably 2025 billion. dollars$30 billion. >> What would Jeff Bezos play pay for the. Cowboys? You think. >> you know he hasn't really got involved, right? >> No, he has not. There's been a couple. times where he could have he wants the. rights, I think, to be able to show the. games. >> I think if he was to buy a team, I. wonder if that would conflict with that. like like I do. >> Yeah. So, for this purpose, I guess. Elon wanted that team just out of.

nowhere. >> Just Elon wants a team. Stadium's going. to be outrageous. They might have a. 175,000 person stadium. Yeah. >> Best Wi-Fi in the league. >> It's going to be built in 14 days. somehow. You know, flamethrowers for. everybody obviously. >> Imagine that jumbo. >> We're running out of people who can buy. teams. >> What do you mean? >> There's not a lot of people, you know, in the world worth that much money. >> Well, see, actually, that's a huge part. of the conversation in society right now. is that there's more people that are. getting that amount of money, but not.

nearly enough people are able to get. that amount of money. And do you need. that amount of money for anything other. than trying to buy professional sports. team? That's kind of the conversation in. all this stuff. We would like to let. everybody know on the record. We would. like to be able to buy sports teams. >> That'd be cool. >> We would like to be able to do that. >> That'd be great. >> But I don't think we're ever going to be. able to do that. But again, >> the venture capital, it's the only route. it seems going forward. Funds, hedge. funds. What? Thrive. >> Yeah, Thrive Capital. >> Everybody's got nostalgic brands. >> The Yankees The Yankees just sold to or.

a portion to a private equity, didn't. they? >> Yeah. I don't know how that works. So. they get a seat on the board. I don't. know if the Steinbrers actually sold. anything, but they got like a $2.5. billion cash infusion. >> You remember when the NFL opened up a. spot, you could sell 10% of your company. to private equity if you want. They. never let that before. Or foreign money. If you guys want to take a massive. payday from some. >> group of trillionaires, you're allowed. to do that right now. And then five of. them are like, "Sale, >> got it. Boom. Give me 400 million. Yep. 350 million. Let's go ahead and do. that." Crazy business. This sports world.

is lucky to be a part of it. obviously. up and to the right whenever the ratings. are what they are. Now let's talk about. some of these teams that are getting. after it. AJ Nick Bosa is considered. weak to weak with that tendonitis. 49ers. and Titans are practicing together four. fights yesterday. So is is Bosa weak to. weak because they know that Salah's. bringing a bunch of scrappers into town. or is he weak to weak because whenever. we saw him walk and run yesterday in the. video clip that was shown from practice, he looked like he was not 100%. Raport.

told us that's a mental thing. Now we're. learning tendinitis. I think that. naturally comes after a lot of. surgeries. AJ, as I'm somebody who has. tendonitis and arthritis in my knees and. everything like that. AJ obviously will. be able to speak to this as well. Is. this just new normal for Boser? What are. you thinking here for him? >> I don't know. I mean, it sound like. Rapture was saying like it takes a while. for people coming off an ACL to trust it. to go make that make those cuts and. plant and do all that stuff. That's a. mental hurdle. That doesn't sound like. what Nick Bosa is going through. See, like tendonitis and arthritis. Someone's. going to have to tell me the the.

difference between the two. Arthritis. comes when all my cartilage is worn down. to my knee and it just grinds bone on. bone. That's that's arthritis. Tendonitis is a bit different. I don't. know exactly how to describe what. tendonitis would be, but I just I feel. like it's something that can continue to. come back. So hopefully they're just. trying, like you said, if someone pulls. a groin, you got to get 100% before you. come back fully. Hopefully that's what. they're doing with Bosa. But yeah, I. mean I think this is his second ACL. Do. we know if it's the same knee he tore. twice? I'm not sure. Anytime you open up. uh induce surgery, there's a chance, you. know, for some stuff to do different. Go.

ahead, Tone. >> Uh arthritis affects the joint itself by. breaking down cartilage uh or causing. internal joint inflammation. Tendonitis. affects the soft tissue, meaning it's a. swelling or irritation of the thick. cords connecting the muscle to the bone. >> Okay. So, maybe they'll be able to. anti-inflammatory the hell out of that. thing and get it down, right? That's. what we're thinking. >> And manage it. And yeah, manage it. throughout the season. Obviously, as. you're getting older, that happens all. the time with players, especially coming. off injury. >> Is he going to be the same guy, though? >> Yeah. And I know it doesn't help that. substation right next door. >> Yeah, substation's going. Tenonitis, my.

favorite. >> Mhm. >> Maybe they should build a Have you seen. the thing they built over Chernobyl? I. forget what it's called. Uh to encase. the whole thing. Maybe they do that to. the practice field. So all those all the. electromagnetic waves force field. >> I tried to watch the show on that. It. was too dark, right? >> Oh yeah, very great show. Great show. >> Actual light. >> Great show. >> Like not like dark sarcophus. Something. like that. >> What's that? That's what's covering up. the trim. >> If you if you get if you pull up a. picture. Yeah. It's a gigantic structure. they built. They rolled right over top. of it. >> No, it's a sarcophagus. They need to put.

that over the substation though. Why are. we talking about putting over the. private facility? >> Cuz then it probably probably won't work. as well. I doubt the substation works if. you put a big old steel thing over top. of it. >> Well, is the substation sending out. power underneath? >> That's what I thought. >> It's going right to the grid. That that. power is getting out no matter what. >> I don't know. Have you seen what they. built over Cherno? Do you see this. little barn? I do know what they have. built over. Unbelievable. >> I mean, that looks like a big bubble to. me, but they say inside of that it's not. getting hot. You know,

>> it got bombed. It got bombed a little. bit, too. >> Labs. >> Okay. Well, I certainly love that. Uh, Puka Nula left practice early due to. groin soreness. I think that's a big. deal. Yeah, >> he'll get healthy. Miles Garrett still. swallowing a little bit. He's 85%. Aaron. Donald. Yeah, dude. Do your thing. Do. what you got to do. >> If you guys don't want to play, it's. okay. [laughter] It's training camp kind. of seemingly the mindset coming out of. the Los Angeles Rams. Uh obviously it's. not. Sean McVey runs a very detailed and. uh high motor type oper. We understand.

that they're a very good team, but it. does feel like in comparison to the. Dallas Cowboys, the Rams are very much. like let's make sure we're getting to. the season and the Cowboys seemingly are. thinking that they need to grind their. way to become a team that can maybe win. this thing. They have obviously been out. of conversation when it's late in season. for a long time. They haven't been there. since what, the '9s or something like. that. The NFC Championship. Yeah, long. time. Like the 90s or something like. that. Shotti's got the boys wanting to. do extra conditioning while the Rams. walk by and say, "That's cool. We did. our work already. We're going to get out.

of here." Your thoughts on this kind of. dynamic or juxaposition happening right. in front of our eyes out there. >> Yeah, I think this was great to see. Obviously, the Cowboys are feeling good. I feel like everything coming out of. camp for them and Shotty, it seems to be. going very well. And the Rams seem to be. very confident in who they are. And I. think it's this is one of those things. if they they meet up late in the season, they play if the Rams win, you know, afterwards we're going to hear the Rams, "Oh, how about them extra sprints, guys? I bet that really helped you today, didn't it?" Like, we're going to hear. them talk back and forth. If the Cowboys. beat them, they'll say something about. the extra work that they put in. But I.

thought this was great, too, watching. the C watching them walk off the field. Like, I feel like I've been a part of. situations like this, especially in high. school, things like this will happen. >> Yeah. Things like high school, old. school football, and that's what Cowboys. are trying to get back to. Baldi said. every day after practice with the. Cowboys they ran conditioning. Ain't. even know. Debut said uh Bellich check. every day after camp they had. conditioning. I think I was only a part. of a team that did it a couple times. after practice and it was always because. something didn't go good at practice. >> New England was the only only place. pretty much every day. And uh Baldi.

talked about, you know, you jump off. sides, you fall start, you you run after. practice. That was during practice. If. you were false starting Dline or O line. or you jumped off sides, you just took a. lap. You didn't even right then and. there, boom, with Vince. All right, boom. Go ahead. Take that lap and get. back when you get back in practice. >> How do you feel about guys that drop. balls and don't do push-ups? >> Uh, on the spot. Um, maybe not. But, uh, at some point you got to you got to pay. the piper. >> Okay. So, you you don't care if it's. happening at the time. If you need to. carry these over to whenever you're not. on the field, you need to get your 10 in.

for what? >> Well, you know, whatever you need to. DBs, we used to do it. Knock it like. individual something. You just knock. your 10 out after the period. I know for. wide outs maybe that means like 20 more. catches on the jugs after practice you. know whatever I don't get into others. whatever your individual thing is you. need to get right for the game for. practice for whatever you got to do that. >> what about stay away from from the. quarterback was that something that. >> that's always a. >> AJ isn't this Max I mean I hate to harp. on it but the Max Crosby hitting. quarterback Kirk Cousins in practice.

thing broke my brain it it actually. broke for everything that I know and. I've observed from just football. I I I. just even Rich. >> Go ahead. >> Well, sorry. Even hitting him. Yes. Hitting the quarterback is crazy to. think of making contact with him. But. you got to create like a three to four. yard halo around him because the biggest. thing I know you don't want that. quarterback's hand to hit your helmet. and then boom, he's got to get Tommy. John serger. His fingers look like. Baldi's all of a sudden like that's what. you're you're trying to protect against. the most. >> I mean, there is a chance I guess Tommy. John.

I don't know if you hit your hand. If. you hit your hand, yeah, people. definitely bust around. Yeah, it's like. blowing uh uh having a bow and arrow go. without an arrow, you know, especially. if you had a chance to do that if you if. you get busted up there. But any a. broken thumb. >> Okay. I mean, a broken thumb. >> to 10 weeks. >> That's a whole season basically. >> That's what they explained to Derek Hall. last night in the Hard Knocks episode. cuz after that whole thing on the field. happened, they then went to the film. room and they're like, "Hey, you see how. you're not hitting him? Sure, but the. way you're running by right where he's. throwing, he's going to hit his hand and.

break his thumb and be out for 10. weeks.". >> Yeah. And it's like that's why the Max. Crosby thing has been become such a big. deal, I think, because it's just so. abnormal. I think everybody's confused. And then you have Hard Knocks run this. the day afterwards. It's like, yeah, just to add to the kind of topical story. that you guys are with. Here's defensive. head coach who won the Super Bowl with. this guy yelling at this guy about being. too close to the quarterback. It's like. I think that's just kind of standard. operating procedure. But hey, >> just changes everything that quarterback. goes down for everybody in the building.

Everybody in the city. Yeah, we saw even. a few couple years ago when however many. starting quarterbacks went down, it just. change the prime time game slate, it. changes everything. And at the same. time, I'm sure his Dline, they weren't. even in full pass, but his Dline coach. is probably like, "Hey, you know, keep. kicking ass, you know, get your work in. Stay off the quarterback." Mike Mike. Mack probably had another conversation. with him, I'm sure, encouraging his. effort, encourage, but like, "Hey, you. got to practice like a pro. This is our. quarterback. This is our guy. If he goes. down, your situation's [ __ ] too. So, let let's take care of our guy.

>> AJ, how about him afterwards saying, "Oh, it turns out I actually run this. practice." I like that out of McDonald, too, because I think he thought that. Derek was trying him in front of. everybody, you know, and I think. McDonald was immediately like, >> "Excuse me, get out.". >> I I don't I don't think. >> second time you said it's a second time. Like, it's one thing like that's always. you always want to say, "Whoa," then go. for a player. So, yeah, you're not. you're you don't hate the fact that uh. the guy's I guess you do. You do hate. the fact he's getting around your. quarterback, but you love the effort as.

Debbut said, but when he did it a second. time, that's when you're like, "Oh my. goodness, this guy doesn't get it, I. guess." And so, yeah, we see that Hard. Knox has been great for Mike McDonald as. well. >> I think so, too. Yes. And did the Spurs. tank for WBY? But that's a whole another. conversation to have another day. Okay. Many there certainly that. But I I like. the fact everything I see out of the. Seahawks uh hard knocks, including that. moment there between coach and Derek, >> man, I like the Seahawks a lot. >> Yeah, >> I like McDonald a lot. I love that him,

Shanahan, and McVey. And we'll see what. the floor are in the same. >> You know what I mean? That is a. >> dynamic lineup of head coaches that are. seemingly going to always have a good. team. >> Yeah. >> Who's going to be great each year? I. think we'll figure that out as we go. But that NFC West has some great young. coaches out there that are seemingly. going to carry us to the next. generation. Speaking of carrying us. somewhere, ladies and gentlemen, we. offered up something publicly. If you do. recall, I want to have Thunderdome World. Records. >> Yes. >> I wanted people come in here with unique.

talents and unique abilities and get a. Thunderdome world record and we could. enshrine them up here forever. Do you. remember we had a lot of conversations. about. >> Yeah, I had a bunch and we looked into a. bunch. Yeah, we were we were excited. about that and we thought we could just. announce that to the world and say, "Hey, you can win some money." I I saw. some people say uh you offer up I think. I offered up like 10,000 bucks and. enshrinement in the Thunderdome Forever, you know, and I saw some people say. 10,000 bucks, you offer up a hundred and. some thousand. It's like I had no idea. what we're going to get. Was I going to. get a uh you know, a jump roper? You.

have no idea what we're getting. So. instead, what has happened now is. >> Shaquille O'Neal has found the greatest. dunkers on earth. Okay? He has found the. greatest dunkers on earth. It's called. the Dunk Man World Championship. Uh it's. comprised of 24 dunkers from around the. world. China. >> What? >> Really? >> They got good dunkers over there. >> Okay. I didn't know. >> England. >> What? >> Brazil. >> In United States of America. The league. kicked off this summer with four group.

stages. Now, the Dunk Man World. Championship will take place on August. 25th at OT Arena in Atlanta. It's a good. arena. >> Great arena. >> One of the best. >> Joining us now is a man who swept the. premiere claiming the group stage A. title. >> Okay. >> He also won a bonus dunk of the night. >> Oh. >> Which was a $35,000 payday. 25,000 t for. the title. And he has the uh dunk called. the uh Hazard 360, which is a 360 with a. double double.

>> with a what? >> Yeah. Kid me. You heard it. >> Double double. Double double from the. dunk man from Hazardous Dunks. Ladies. and gentlemen, joining us now live from. the Thunderdome. >> is a stallion of a man with a 50-in. vert. Ladies and gentlemen, Cam Hazard. >> Let's go Cam.

All right. All right. Okay. >> Mic check. Mic check. Mic check. >> Told you not to grab that other one. >> Well, I mean, you you just assume that. they both work. [laughter]. >> Yeah, they should. Why are we paying for. this one if it doesn't? Okay. Who knows? That's for another day. Uh Cam, how you. doing, brother? Very nice to meet you. Where are you from? >> Dallas, Texas. >> Okay. Uh how did you get into just. dunking? When was your first dunk? >> My first dunk was at 15 years old and. took about six years to get to this.

point. Yeah. >> Okay. So, you're 21 years old. Is that. what I'm learning right now in real. time? Congratulations. Have a little. booze. Everybody celebrating. >> Nah, I don't know. But. >> I got to take care of the body, obviously. They say you have a 50-inch. vert. Is that accurate? >> That's true. Yes, sir. >> And that's a running start into it. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> Did you play volleyball or strictly. basketball? >> Just just basketball and then win. dunking. I'm horrible at basketball. actually, but I can jump really high. >> I like that. >> So, were you a high jumper or kind of. how'd you get into the being knowing. that you're explosive with the loads? >> Dunking is its own sport now. And I saw. all the stuff online and wanted to do it.

myself. So, >> so just as a kid down in Texas, you were. walking around jumping really high and. everybody's like, "Wow, this guy can. really jump." Is that how we got into. this? >> I mean, pretty much. You you you work on. it. There's definitely exercises I do uh. that get me ready for it, but I was I. obsessed over the dunks and that's how I. got here. >> Do you wear those little shoes that do. the calf things? >> I know what you're talking about. I. actually don't, but. >> the jump shoes. AJ Hawk had used them. Yeah. I used to he used to clank them. around Centerville. What are some of the. exercises that can make some of us maybe. jump higher? Look at Connor. Connor.

would like to dunk before he becomes. >> Yeah. Well, I I like to not over. complicate. I keep it simple. So, heavy. weights and pio and then just jump a. ton. That's all you need to do. >> Jump a ton. Just all the time. >> Yeah. Keep it simple, stupid. Let's go. ahead and jump this thing. Now, Cam, you. do know that this would be our first. Thunderdome world record. And also, you. can only do it on the first attempt, right, boys? >> One, >> only one attempt. So, you can have. multiple dunks obviously to earn the. title, but we can't be doing them four. or five times, which Dunk Man never. does. No, that's the whole point of the.

league. It's all like the NBA guys, they. be attempting it like four or five times. maybe, but Dunk Man makes sure you can. hit it within two attempts. >> Oh, so I should give you two attempts. You think for It sounds like he just. >> sounds That's Doug Man rules, not. Thunderdome. >> That's true. >> It's a Thunderdome. >> All in favor of two attempts, say I. >> I. >> opposed. >> I. >> All right. You got one. You got one. attempt. Cam, >> you got fine. Most people need two or. more, but I can do it in one. >> And if you don't do it on the first one, do a different dunk. Now, this is cement. down here, so I don't know how much like. bounce it's going to give you. So, uh I.

don't know if that's going to affect. you. Do you know that? Do you feel good? >> I feel good. Yeah. I had a 3 and 1 half. hour workout session yesterday. So, and. I I haven't warmed up yet. So, if I get. one more dunk, then I'll go for the. crazy stuff. >> Okay. So, you just want a warm-up dunk? >> Yeah. One one warm-up dunk and I'll go. for crazy stuff. >> Okay. Okay. Okay. >> Yeah. That. I was wondering if he was stretching in. that room or not. Okay. >> I was getting leg sweeps in. Yeah. >> Okay. He said he was getting a little. leg sweeps in. This is Cam Hazard. Hazardous dunks. Man out of Texas who is. a professional dunk. Go ahead and do a. warm-up dunk just so the people can see.

what it's like. Hazardous. >> Oh my god. >> Cam. Cam. Hold on now. Cam. Cam. Cam. >> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Bunnies. >> This camera right here. This one. I need. you to say, "I will not sue if I get. injured or if this hoop falls and hurts. you." Please. >> I will not sue if I get injured in the. thunder door. >> And you were not forced to say that. I I. was not forced to say that. I was. completely on my own. >> You're 21, but you're not under the. influence of any alcohol or drugs. >> I am not I'm not under the influence.

No. >> And just once again, what is the promise. that we're making here? [laughter]. >> What's the promise? >> They won't sue. >> No, you won't sue. >> It's not going to hold up. >> No. No chance. >> That will hold up. >> That'll hold up. >> That's iron class. >> I hope the hoop holds up. Cam, do you. want another warm-up one or you want to. go? I'll go for it. >> All right, ladies and gentlemen, this. Cam Hazard. >> What's that? >> A guy can't dribble. >> How many he said? He said he can't. dribble, though. >> What' you say? >> I got a lot of dunks.

>> How many dunks? >> How many? >> Okay, let's see. Three good dunks. >> Three good dunks. >> Okay. >> All right. Cam Hazard here. What's the. first one titled? >> 360 windmill. >> Oh, it's a 360 windmill. Classic dunk. from back in the day. >> Video game stuff. He's been doing this. since high school. Just standard. operating procedure for hazardous dunks. 21 years old seaman dunk bat. has to cut it on rip. Okay, >> that was clean. >> Okay. >> All right, hold on. Let's go back. >> Hold on. Hold on. >> Got here. Okay, Cam, you're going to.

have to come visit me right here. >> So, it seems like it is uh Thunderdome. one, cam zero. How do we feel about what. took place there? >> You know, miss has happened. You just. got to keep moving. You know, I I. haven't had the best situations warming. up, but we'll get [laughter] it done. We'll get. >> That's right. That's right. Hey, keep it. buzz if you still you still have a. thunder world record around the corner. Hey. Hey, D but this is just how he. pumps himself up. >> All right. This is. >> I don't like excuses in here. >> What's this dunk going to be here, Mr. Hazardous? >> I'll do a 360 pump. 360 pump. >> 360 pump.

He. >> like Fortnite. This could potentially be a Thunderdome. world record for the best dunk ever. dunk. >> That rack. >> Darius Butler has a two-hander. I have. one at 8 ft. >> That was clean. Yeah. >> Feels like he just wanted to pull one. in. >> Yeah. But his head was at the rim. That. was clean. >> Yeah. So, you've been doing that one. since you're 15. >> Uh, no, that one probably 18. Probably. 18. >> 18 years old. You got one on the board. now. That's got to feel good. By far the. best dunk we've ever had.

>> By far the best time. What what is the. uh what is a possible third dunk here. that could maybe top what you just did. and make the whole entire world go, "Holy [ __ ] what Hazardous Dunks just. did is a Thunderdome world record.". >> You know, I can mix three dunks. together. So, I'll do a 360 and then go. through the legs, but instead of going. this way, I'll go the backwards way. >> Oh [ __ ] Okay. >> Distance. Yeah. >> What? That's what we're talking about. >> A Mina dunk here. >> Wow.

>> Okay. a Mina dunk for hazardous dunks as. he attempts a Thunderdome world record. >> First attempt. >> First attempt he says. Sounds like he. would like two here. Okay, [laughter]. which understandable. Three dunks coming. together. He's going to be reverse under. the legs. [screaming]. >> [ __ ]. >> Pretty good. That's pretty good. >> Yeah, that was it. That was that was. okay. Okay, >> that's pretty good. That was clean. >> Ladies and gentlemen, hold on. Hazardous. Dunks, can you look this way? Congratulations.

Congratulations, D. >> Thank you. >> Anybody you [applause] want to thank for. accomplishing this feat here? >> Oh man, shout out to all my dunk coaches. out there. I got plenty out there. I was. just with Billy Doran. He's with Dunk. Demix and he flew me out to LA. He. taught me all this stuff. Shut up, >> Duncan Demics. I need to get the kid out. there soon. Congratulations to you. That. was amazing. Thank you for doing that.

>> Thank you. Thank you so much. >> Is there anything else you want to just. give it a go? >> Jump over the elephant. >> What if we move this golf cart over or. this football? >> Elephant. >> What about the football? >> Jump over. Or Bill. >> What if I jump over you? >> No, no, no, no. Bill, [laughter]. >> can you jump over this guy? You think. >> you sure he's huge? >> Can your legs get that wide? >> Yeah. Are you sure?

I'm actually. terrible at basketball, but dunking kind. of my thing. It's like. >> I like the honesty. >> I was like, what does that even mean? And then you watch him, it's like, oh. >> yeah, makes sense is your thing. >> This guy actually has wings potentially. This guy's floating through the air. That was impressive. >> Yeah, >> especially, you know, no no warm up and. he's not like that tall. Like you got, you know, guys come in. Yeah. Like six, he's probably what, 61, 6'2 maybe?

>> Yeah. And his legs didn't, you know, it. wasn't like he had. >> got springs. >> That's unbelievable. >> Congratulations to him on a Thunderdome. world record. What? >> Hell yeah. [applause]. >> We have to put a photo of him up. somewhere as we start this. >> Hell of a start. >> It's a great start. >> Great ber set right there. >> And that's what we're talking about. We'd like to give him 25,000 bucks and. uh Thunderdome World Record Top. >> Nice. >> This is happening in real time there uh. with Hazardous Dunks. Hopefully he'll be. grateful for it as opposed to other. people on the internet and know that you. could do something, you know, like that.

if you can. I don't know if that's. possible, but in your own world, we'd. love to showcase your talents here and. we'd love to immortalize you forever in. the Thunderdome as a world record holder. just like Cam Hazard, an absolute stud. Congrats to him. Congrats to us getting. to witness that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Debbone, great job, pal. didn't mess it. up. Now we'll continue digitally. We. can't thank you enough for allowing us. to do this for a living. Be a friend. Tell a friend something nice might. change her life. Diary of polarizing. figure on Friday.
