The following program is a collection of.

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

This show stinks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. you. >> McAfee off the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. >> You. start damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble abode the thunder girl on.

this what Wednesday December 10th 2025. this sports program begins now. football. >> it is magical there's so many storylines. all over the country both in the NFL and. in college and I'll tell you what the. reason why I have this particular. military appreciation cap on is because. the Indianapolis Colts are all the way. back I don't know if you've been reading. or seeing But Phil Rivers, the 44 year. old grandfather, is back with the. Indianapolis Colts to lead them not only. to the playoffs, but to a Super Bowl. Now, there's a lot of different memes,

okay? And there's a lot of different. words being put together about old Phil. Rivers holding a grandbaby in one hand. and then a football in the other while. wearing an Indianapolis Colts uniform. What you need to know is this team's. ready for a grandpa to be their. quarterback, especially if they're a. quarterback. Their grandpa quarterback. will be able to spin it until the day he. dies. The reason why he throws the way. that he throws is because when he was. just a little baby boy, when he wasn't. strong enough to lift up a high school. football in which his dad was coaching, he wanted to throw that thing because in.

his soul, he was a football spinner and. his arm couldn't hold the ball up where. it was at. So, he was literally just. throwing it like this cuz he was such a. little boy that maintained and continued. to become what? Well, one of the most. deceiving releases in the history of. ball. wanted his throne for thousands. and thousands of yards a season for a. long ass time. And now the 44 year old. will see if he can defy the test of time. and lead a team to some relevancy. Now,

are there some downfalls potentially? Sure. Look at this road who the Colts. have left. Hey, look at the remaining. schedule for the Indianapolis Colts. Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. Uh they're. the number two scoring defense. Okay. San Francisco 49ers. Oh, yeah. They're. the number eight scoring defense. Gez. >> How about the Jags? They stink, right? Nope. They just beat us, actually. And. they're 11th ranked. And then, oh yeah, to wrap it up against the Houston. Texans. Yeah, that's the number one. ranked defense in the league. So, you. got a lot of potential boobirds from the.

home crowd watching the Colts at the. Loud House potentially with these. defenses. But you also got an. opportunity to build a Hall of Fame. resume. If Phil Rivers comes off the. couch after five years and plays well. against these defense who who are ranked. statistically and optically when you. watch them, some of the best of all. time, you got to tip your cap to old man. Phil Rivers and you got to say shout out. to Chris Ballard for not just punting on. the year, okay? Not just quitting on the. year. They're saying, "Hey, it's week. 15. We're still in this thing. We could. still make the playoffs." And uh we need.

a quarterback that knows this offense. better than anybody. Who's that? Oh, the. guy that's been coaching all year. The. guy that Shane Stiken started his career. with. Oh, let's bring in Phil Rivers. Does he want to play? Phil Rivers go out. there and say, "Hell yeah, man. We just. lost state championship. I got bad taste. in my mouth." Give him the ball. Give. him the ball. Well, we got to do some. physicals for you. Oh, don't worry about. it. I'm not going to run. Don't worry. about anything. Just make sure that this. thing's good. And then if they're going. to snap it perfect, you're going to snap. perfect. Yep. I don't I I can't be doing. the hole. >> We need these snaps. >> Mhm. >> Okay. And I might be a little bit deeper. because I I don't want to do anything. >> So, I need Maybe we get the long snapper.

out there. Maybe get Luke Roads out. there cuz where I'm going to be. standing. I need these things to be. right here and then we're off and. running and we're going to feed all the. weapons. We're going to put everybody in. the right position. There's a chance. this this works out very well. >> Now on the flip side. >> Mhm. >> No, >> I don't even want to say it. >> Others are saying it. >> Yeah, it doesn't need to be said. The. flip side is. >> Well, Jeff Saturday's been talking about. this. The flip side is Jeff Saturday's. situation that happened. >> Yeah, exactly. >> Jeff Saturday was on ESPN debating. people throwing up pancakes. >> Love that.

>> I love him. Love Jeff Sard on. television. Love Jeff Sard as a. teammate. Love Jeff Sard as NFL PA guy. Didn't necessarily love the outcome of. Jeff Sard as the head coach of the. Indianapolis Colts. After he goes from. sitting in his house in Atlanta with his. family gearing up for another big- time. get up on Monday on ESPN and he gets a. phone call from Jim saying, "Bards, we. need you brother to do what? Jim, are. you watching this game?" "No, it's not. even playing down here. What's going. >> We need you to be our head coach." What? Jeff says, "I I don't think I've ever. done it before. I mean, I'm a father.

I've led a family before. I don't know. if I've ever high school I've done that. I don't know about NFL. We need just. somebody to go in there." He goes in. there. He gets a big time win. >> Yeah. >> He beats the Raiders. >> Okay. And it's all of a sudden is Jeff. S. The greatest coach of all time. I. went on this microphone and said, "Bill. Cower, shut your mouth.". >> Fire McDaniels. >> The Raiders. >> Bill. Yes. Exactly. He gets fired. because of that. Bill Cower though comes. out says, "This is an embarrassment to. coaching. There are guys that cut their. teeth to become a head coach. You're. just giving this guy a job right off the. couch is disrespectful and he's going to. do terrible is what Bill Cower said.

Basically, I said, Bill Cower, I got a. lot of respect for you. Please, you. don't know Jeff Saturday. Shut up, please. Joe Thomas, very loud. Joe. Thomas did an entire campaign. Joe. Thomas, greatest left tackle of all. time, maybe. Uh, never got a chance to. win because he was the Cleveland Browns, which is certainly a bummer, but he came. out immediately upon Jeff Saturday. getting a head coaching job. Disgusted. for all the assistant coaches who have. put their entire lives into this thing. to become a head coach someday to not. get the opportunity to be the interim. head coach. And I had to get on this. microphone and say, I didn't have to. I. felt at the time. You shut your [ __ ]. mouth, Joe Thomas. Okay. And Bill Cower,

you don't know anything about coaching, okay? I don't need to hear that at all. I was blindly behind him. They beat the. Raiders. I come in again, do my dance on. Bill Cower and Joe Thomas loudly saying, "You guys, oh, you guys got all figured. out, huh? Okay, you know, Jeff. Saturday." And then we proceeded to not. only give up the biggest lead in the. history of the game after, we just lost. every game after that. And it did not. look good at all. And boy, that was. tough to handle just as a human who was. going to blindly support the. Indianapolis Colts because I appreciate. everything that the Ursa family has done.

for me. That was a tough moment. This. could be one of those. I I thought about. that last night with how positive I was. with everything. I could be looking back. here in 3 weeks and it could be why did. I ever think that it could go good? And. I think that happened to you yesterday. Nine-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler here. You got a chance to sleep on it. You are. the Uball champion. Congrats to you and. both. >> Thanks about that. >> Whoa. Let's make sure we keep that lower. third up there to block that. Okay. >> Who debut and who you said? >> Yeah. Yeah. Bone and Butt. >> DB block. Our name.

>> What's that? >> Our name's DB block. >> Oh, I Oh, sorry. The team formerly known. as Bone and Butt is now known as DBlock. and their Uball champ. >> This a beautiful trophy, by the way. >> Yeah, >> I haven't gotten to see it. This. >> I forgot about it. >> It's shimmering. >> I know most people probably thought it. was a staple to that stack of money over. there, but uh glad. >> it has been. I'm glad it uh finally. moved. We earned it. But uh anything is. possible. Anything's possible. So, you. know, winning that championship with. Bone, a lot of people forget we won a. couple early in these about be what 13. weeks you guys had the the ball. So, we. finally got it back. Boy, I mean,

where's my stogy? Where's my stick? It's. up here somewhere. But yeah, anything's. possible. I slept on it, too. Uh, I was. very negative yesterday. Maybe a little. too negative. I apologize to Phil if he. took any disrespect to that. He's an. all-time great. And we got a four game. stretch to get in the playoff. And if he. does do this, I know his clock has to. reset, but boy, if it resets and he goes. on a run here, if we even get anywhere. close to the dance, first ballot hall of. famer, Philip Rivers, anything's. possible. We don't have to talk about. the what can possibly happen today,

>> which is bad. >> It's bad. >> See those rings? >> Oh my god, it's going to get so loud. If. this goes bad, it's going to get so. loud. My I'm not going to be able to get. on the internet. I'm not going to be. able to get on the internet, okay? I'm. not going to be able to do it for a. couple days. I hope everybody. understands. >> That's what everybody expects, though. What's that. >> for it to be terrible? >> Well, just like going into the season. Well, maybe this is why the optimism. level was so low. Maybe they were right. the whole time it was 96% or something. like that. That the most negative fan. base was the Colts. And I was kind of. positive going in. And then we have the. number one offense in the NFL. We're the. best team in the league. And then all of.

a sudden, injury hits at the worst. possible position. And now 44y old Phil. Rivers coming out of retirement saying, "Hey, this feels like a dagum good. opportunity. I want to let Phil Rivers. know. I can't wait to watch." And he. knows that there's something terrible. that could happen. >> Sure. He knows that. >> and that's the risk of playing ball. >> I don't think he even sees that. possibility. >> Oh, you you think he sees 4 and0 right. here getting the playoffs? >> Well, one and0 this Philip Rivers is all. time great one. time. Good call. Good go. Good go. Tough. task out there in Seattle. We're going. to learn a lot but I'm behind Phil and.

I'm blindly behind Phil and I would like. Phil to know that I appreciate him. coming out of his retirement life, okay, to come and do this and commit to the. city of Indianapolis and to the Colts. again. And uh Phil should not know about. the potential downside. last night. There was a lot of that in my mind. A. lot of that in my mind just for some of. the things I was saying. Just from some. of the things I was saying about how. good it was going. And then you do look. at that lineup of defenses and it's. like, man, this could go really bad. But. it was already going bad. >> Yes, exactly. >> It was already happening. So, why not. take a shot on Phil Rivers, a guy who. knows the offense better than anybody. else could? And also, who's his backup?

Oh, Riley Leonard. Riley Leonard out of. Notre Dame. Well, is he going to be a. little bit upset that maybe Phil Rivers. is coming in here? Well, let's go to. Gruden's uh quarterback camp uh. presented by Baral Sports. talking to. Riley Leonard this past offseason. >> out of Alabama, >> sir. >> But you are a quarterback and you you. know Philip Rivers comes from that same. place and you know Philip, have you. thrown with Rivers and worked out with. him? >> Yes, sir. He lives around he he lives. probably 3 minutes from my house so able. to get over there and train with him. I. don't think that there's a better person. to train with when it comes to fast. feet, you know, his baby five drop. To.

see him move in person, I mean is really. cool for me. >> A lot of people said he's got a weird. release. I'll tell you what, it was the. quickest release, >> you know. I mean, you can't see his. release. Sometimes that ball comes out. of his hands fast and accurate because. when I saw you play at Duke, don't I see. the same type of delivery at times? >> Yes, sir. >> Anticipation, quick release. Don't I see. Philip Rivers right here? >> Take a note about Rivers, will you? >> Yes, sir. >> We're going to learn about Rivers today. and we're going to win in the pocket.

>> Thank you to Coach Gruden, obviously, for everything that he does on the. internet and thank you for that. particular clip to let me know that this. isn't only a move for right now. This is. a move for Riley Leonard's future. Okay. They're trying to bring in his mentor to. actually get hands-on work with him. Grew up around the corner. Riley Leonard. grew up in a really nice house. >> Okay. Congratulations. He went to Duke. and Notre Dame. They're living around. corner for Phil Rivers. Hey, no. judgment. You're a dog, D. You're a dog. You could have been very soft from what. it sounds like in my eyes from what we.

were visualizing. And you're a dog. And. he likes to run. Pound the rock and. everything like that. But I like that. That's a move that potentially maybe. even brings out even more out of Riley. Leonard in this entire thing. And maybe. this is why Phil Rivers is like, "Yeah, Riley's there. I like Riley. He's like a. little brother to me." Basically, getting an opportunity to do that. That's an added little wrinkle to this. that has made me feel positive about the. move con man. >> And the big three like I feel like all. the moves that have been made gives you. kind of the mental fortitude to kind of. trust what the big three the ownership.

is doing. Um I think Debbie kind of. nailed it. First of all, Phil Rivers is. the best Phil Rivers has looked in five. years. I think people are forgetting. that that over these past five years, Phil has never looked better than as he. does right now. Uh to Debbut's point, people are expecting it to be terrible. That's why I think it can be terrible. It just can't be laughable. Okay? We. can't have him going out there tripping. over lines. We can't have him going out. there first throw pick six. Like, we. can't have things like that happen. We. need to just hammer Jonathan Taylor. And.

I'm saying we because I live in Indie, too. All right? I don't want to live in. a city where people are just laughing at. the city that I live in. That's not fun. whatsoever. So, if he goes out there and. he does the whole, you know, throwing. balls and they're landing 10 yards short. or he's throwing balls and every single. one of them is barely getting past the. line of scrimmage, we can't have that. cuz if it's terrible, oh, okay. So, what? At least our team's trying. At. least the the Colts are going out there. and trying to put a product on the field. to get to the dance. But if he goes out.

there. >> in first play, he he he tries to. scramble around and he just gets Carson. Wenster or Yeah. he throws a ball and. it's it quacks as it leave his hand as. his hands. It's not just a duck. It's. quacking out there. >> through the sky. I. >> just that that's when we're in the. territory of like, okay, come on. Put. Tyler Warren back there. Run the read. option up and down this field. Let's. make this game quick. Let's keep it. ugly, but let's make it quick so we. don't have to watch four and a half. hours of Philip Rivers just throwing.

lollipops. >> That's not going to be it. Phil Rivers. is not allowing himself to be seen. publicly with a bad arm. Okay. That that. is not going to be something that Phil. Rivers will let himself You don't think. Phil Rivers was in a backyard. >> Okay. He had each of his kids lined up. at 10 yards. Okay. 10 yard difference. >> Mhm. >> 10 yard old line checkown. >> Yep. >> Somebody at the 10, at the 20, at the. 30. He made it to his fifth kid. >> Okay, that's good enough to be able to. do whatever you need. >> Agreed. >> Sixth kid wasn't able to get it. Okay,

he wasn't able to get it to the other. 40. Sue him at that age. But if he needs. everything else, it's there. >> Take the Alec Pierce under. >> I think you can take just receiving in. general across the board under. >> Okay. >> But rushing, I think you nuke that. thing. >> Well, you and you're benefiting greatly. from Phil Rivers and you know this. Uh. Kevin Clark reported that Drake May was. working with Philip Rivers before the. draft. Wow. >> Yeah. So, uh, you know, Philip can still. throw it and yes, he can still trash. talk, says Drake May, because they had a. contest and guess who won? Phil Rivers.

did. And that's that daggum competition. level that nobody else can really find. >> Carolina boys. >> That competitive fire that Philip Rivers. has is what's going to drive him to put. us in the right positions to make the. right plays and not expose himself. And. there's been some uh miked up highlight. reels put together on the internet, much. better than the ones that have been on. TV. Just remember, whatever is going to. happen here is going to be electrifying. in Phil Rivers is going to make it. awesome. Joining us now, ladies and. gentlemen, 12-year NFL vet, Super Bowl. champion, a man who potentially his. rookie year could have, I guess, I mean,

his whole career could have been, you. know, 2016, 2019, six years ago. >> Mhm. >> Close when I started. The most passing. touchdowns in the NFL. Look at that. list. Look at that list. >> Yes. Forget. >> who's playing still. >> Russ. >> Nope. He's not playing. He's on a team. >> He's doing entrance to stadiums. >> He's doing good in the community. >> I do respect Russell Wilson a human. Okay. Football wise, we can all agree.

>> He stinks. >> At this stage, >> he stinks. >> Hall of Famer, though, I would like to. let it be known. I think Russell Wilson. should be a Hall of Famer. >> Sure. >> Super Bowl champion. I don't think you. tell the story of football without. Russell Wilson. Personally, I I think. that is that is a part of the story. People are going to hold a lot against. him, though, and there's going to be a. lot against him. So, I'm not saying that. I don't like Russell Wilson and don't. think that is the case. But back in the. time, Russell Wilson was the guy. This. is the reason why I would talk about. Russell Wilson being a first hall of. famer, but the only one that's still. doing it, this guy, Phil Rivers. Okay.

So, let's make sure we put a little. respect. >> We haven't seen him do it yet. Remember, today is the day, right? It's Wednesday. He's got to throw. >> It might take a G day, though. >> He's on a Is he still on the practice. squad officially? >> No, he they already rolled him up. I. think they gave him the C as well. I. mean, they yanked the 17 jersey off Dan. Jones's corpse and already put it on. him. >> Had to. Couldn't be out there in any. other jersey. >> He's on practice squad. Okay. But this. is just standard operating procedure as. you kind cuz why do we cut somebody. immediately from the active roster if we.

don't know what's going to happen here? The NFL has allowed uh teams to put vets. onto the practice squad. It's a good. move. But AQ, I ask you, >> it's big day. >> Phil River is going to be able to get. the job done here. What is his biggest. limitation? Now, I know we're. That wasn't my laugh. It It was my. apologies toxic, but it's it's because. of how AQ is looking at you as you ask. this question. Okay. >> Oh, yeah. I don't like any of these. vibes right now. Okay. >> I don't like the way you're looking at. me just as a guy who knows everything.

about all these defenses. What is that? What is the be what is the benefits I. guess of having Phil Rivers as the. quarterback? If you just can't find any, I guess we'll hear what you think is. potentially a drawback or two in this. entire thing. >> Well, what I think is remember a couple. weeks ago we had Seattle Seahawks as the. number one offensive line. Sam Darnold. threw the ball nine times. That's what. we need moving forward. We need Philip. Rivers to throw the ball nine times. >> Lean on the offensive line. We haven't. seen him throw the ball. >> We don't need to see him throw the. football. >> What if he's right now? What if you have.

no idea? >> You're right. But he's going up to. Seattle. >> Well, is Drake May pretty accurate? Uh. yeah, it looks like he might be the most. accurate quarterback in the history of. football. >> Okay, so who'd he lose to in an accuracy. contest this last off season? >> The target threaten nine yards. That's. >> draw them up. We need 14 different nine. yard options on every single play is. what we need. Will the offensive line be. able to protect? What do you think? You. think they bring in a heavy package? Do. you think we're gonna have to have an. extra offensive lineman? Probably. because he's not going to be able to. move and we're probably going to be.

running a lot. Like what do you expect. from Shane Stikken with a 44 year old. coach and Jonathan Taylor offensive. line? >> I think the ball needs to get out quick. because as we know Mike McDonald is. going to bring pressure and he's going. to bring pressure often against a. quarterback who hasn't seen live. defenses fly in front of his face in how. many years now? >> Five. >> Five there something out. >> Defenses have become much more. sophisticated, much more complicated. First time he's going to step out there. He's going to see big. >> number 99. Leonard Williams staring. across lined up in an overload defense. They're going to bring double corner. blitz, drop out five guys. You don't you.

just never know what's going to happen. when you play Seattle. And when you. haven't seen defenses now in 5 years, it's. >> Well, well, well, let's He's got a bunch. of kids. Rumor has it he's been playing. a fair amount of Madden. >> See, so he might know McDonald's defense. better than McDonald does cuz he was. probably studying back in Baltimore. whenever he was playing Madden just a. few years back. So, I mean, we're in a. new world. What about virtual reality? I. see Philip Rivers walking in, >> taking the reps. Hey, hey, you know, and. then actually getting into it, seeing. the whole thing. They saying he catch up. quickly. Now, I was told though, mentally wouldn't be the issue. So, if.

it's been five years and they're. changing it up, it should be like riding. a bike for Philip Rivers to understand. what they're trying to do. Physically is. the big thing. So, you talk about it. coming out quick. What does that mean? We're cut blocks on the offensive line. >> Yeah. Both tackles both tackles should. be cutting. We we jump set in the middle. of the pocket. Get a nice clean pocket. Maybe even set them up at six yards. instead of five yards. Just let him get. the ball. >> and get that thing out fast. >> Okay. So, we think shotgun. We got. shotgun so he doesn't have to do the. drop back. We don't have to worry about. stepping on somebody's [ __ ] or you. stepping on your own [ __ ] or any of the. stuff doing any of the [ __ ] right? So,

we got him back here. He's here. >> Jonathan Taylor here. >> Absolutely. >> Tyler Warren here. >> Sure. We could do that. >> Okay. So, >> we get double chips going out if it's a. pass play. >> Boom. On the way. >> We We run a lot of screens. Maybe a. little tight end wide screen early. Get. Get him some confidence. Get him some. completions early. Little bubble screen. Maybe even a little halfback screen. Get. them three screens right off the bat. >> And what Seattle knows that they're. trying to do this as well. So, is that. pressure pressure pressure or are they. fake pressure kind of hold because they. know everything's coming to them? >> Well, Seattle does a lot of simulated. pressures, but they also bring it and. they are going to bring it this weekend.

I guarantee early they're going to bring. something just to see how Philip Rivers. can pick this up. >> Oh, a little bit of a temperature check. on the 44y old grandpa. >> Absolutely. >> And also, you guys are rolling around. his feet a little bit, I assume, after. >> Oh, we going to touch him. >> So, you can't do that. That That's the. worry like like a Rogers Jet situation. Like, what if he comes out and first. throws a dart? >> What? Don't. >> And it's like, oh my god, hold on. Philip Rivers, he's going to do it. And. then just one hit. >> Nope. >> Just. >> don't want to hear that. That's That's. the devastation. That's the devastation.

that could happen. >> That That might be the best case. scenario actually. >> For who? >> For the Colts. If Phil Rivers didn't. blow his both his knees out of both his. shoulders on one hit, then maybe we go. on and win this game. You know, like. that might be. >> both his shoulders, but everything. If. if Philip Rivers doesn't get sawed in. half by Leonard Williams and his whole. body collapsed, then we might go on a. run. >> I don't like I don't like that that's in. the universe. Let's head over to Hammer. Dan. Uh AP Tone, what's going on, brother?

>> Oh, he's took a dump. >> Yeah, he's just got that taking from. what I've been told. Bruce told me, "Hey, Tone's back." But Bruce set him up. for him not actually being back. >> What's up, boys? >> Uh hey, happy you're okay there. Uh love. the hoodie. love what you're doing. Also, AQ, we respect and appreciate the. troops. Vince Wolffork will actually be. joining us in about 10 minutes who just. wrapped up a holiday uh tour with the. USO where I think he went to five. different countries in seven days. Saw. the troops, said what's up. So, mad. respect, obviously, Army Navy this.

weekend. Cannot wait to see how that. ends up. Obviously, a special game in. our uh country. Now, we're talking about. Philip Rivers, and Connor just made a. point maybe about Philip Rivers getting. both of his shoulders blown out and both. of his knees in one particular hip. maybe saw an actual half in this entire. thing. There's certainly some negatives. What do the sports books say? Because I. thought about a couple of these games. Houston's playing who? >> Uh the Arizona Cardinals. >> What's the spread there? That's got to. be a big one. Arizona just got. absolutely demolished. What's. >> that one's nine and a half? >> That's got to be the biggest of the. weekend, right? Nine and a half. >> No, no, it's it's not the biggest of the. weekend. The Eagles are playing the.

Raiders. That one uh is at 11 12. Uh. let's see here. The the Niners are. playing the Titans. That one's 12 and a. half. So, that one's that one's got to. be the biggest. Nope. Nope. Colts are. going to Seattle. 13 and a half. That's. actually the biggest one of the weekend. >> 13 and a half. Um. >> yeah, we had the Titans Niners one wrong. there. Niners obviously favored over the. Titans there, especially at home. Uh but. whenever you 13 and a half. >> Yeah. Yeah. biggest of the weekend of a. weekend of big spreads. >> Houston is playing Arizona.

>> Uh-huh. Good football team. >> without both starting tackles. >> for Arizona. >> Yep. What? >> This is Arizona uh color commentator AQ. Shipley uh with some information that. you as a national potential gambler. If. you do have a gambling problem, we would. like you to get help for that. Obviously, but this is somebody that. maybe has some information early in the. week that we don't all have. Both. tackles out for the Arizona Cardinals. and they're playing the number one. defense that has the Houston sack. station. If you're just looking ahead at. a game that like you would think biggest.

spread of the weekend, you would think. it would be that one. Mhm. >> Colts, Seahawks is the biggest. They. have no respect for Phil River. >> Yeah. But Jacobe has played football. this century. >> Well, >> five years, century, >> more decade. Decade. Five years. >> Okay. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I I mean, time is something and time is what we're. all battling against. And we're going to. see if time. had troubled Phil Rivers or did time.

make Phil Rivers better. And maybe Phil. Rivers finds himself in the Hall of. Fame. >> He might be fast as [ __ ] now. Like who. says he doesn't have a a 10 yard burst. that we've never seen? >> Maybe he has one of them trailers that. Matthew Stafford was going and maybe. he's been in one of those trailers that. [ __ ]. >> What's that? >> He's old school. What? You live in. Alabama? You think that's You think. that's. >> Yeah. I mean, last time. >> I would say Birmingham, Alabama has. advancements in technology. Remember. that's where Dr. Andrews is located. You. know, last time we had him on the show,

I think he had like AOL for internet. You know, he had pretty much dial up. So, I don't know if he's getting the. aortal chamber, but he could he might. have that thing parked right outside his. his backyard. >> Phil Rivers at his press conference was. asked about his current weight and uh. his response was I'm not sure not what. it not sure what it was when I walked. off field in Buffalo, but I ain't ran. away from anybody anyway. So, who cares. if I look like a blimp, boys? I'm not. >> It ain't about that. It ain't about. that. What is he doing? >> He looks like a tackle. >> He looks like an offensive tackle. >> Well, and that's good cuz remember when.

Ben Rothosberger kind of grew into that. shape as well. He was impossible to take. down. That's right. >> And that is, you know, Phil Rivers. already has the double ankles daped. >> Looks good. >> Exactly. I mean, we should definitely be. wearing all black, but I love the way he. looks and uh. >> it's great. We love you. We love you, man. >> Go get him, Phil. >> Let's talk about some other news around. the football. He looks great. >> To be fair, the last time we saw on the.

field, I know it was five years ago. He. was still spinning it. So, it's not like. we, you know, the last time we saw. >> five years. Yeah. >> But hey, it's not So, we've seen some. quarterbacks at the end look absolutely. terrible. So, >> playoffs, right? >> Yeah. Almost beat the Bills. >> He He is the best He is by far the best. quarterback that we have had since the. whole thing happened. >> Just the graphic. Then he takes Yeah, that graphic that they put together, Colts VZ, and that was rude to put great. graphic. Rude to put that together since.

Andrew Luck's retirement, all the. quarterbacks that we have tried and. given a go and paid. I mean, there's. multiple $20 million quarterbacks in. there that we tried to kind of like. replace in there. >> Philip Rivers was by far the best one we. had. No, no, sorry. Danny Dimes was the. best that we absolutely had. Phil Rivers. before that got us to the playoffs, was. not able to run. I mean, he was not able. to run. He he was Carson Wentz with two. sprains all the time. I mean, there was. it was peg legging that entire thing. But just his competitive spirit, his. ability to understand what's going on. and spinning it. He was always spinning.

and felt like he was always helping his. teammates, talking [ __ ] for his. teammates, setting things up. It's like. you get a guy back in the room. I think. that's good news. And uh we're pulling. for him. All right, let's go to college. football. Congrats. Matt Campbell is. your guys' coach. That's a big. >> Yes. >> Matt Campbell's head coach of the Penn. State Nitney Lions. AQ. Obviously, you're a member of the Penn State Nitney. Lion cult. This would have been a good. hire, I think, immediately out the jump. If you guys move on from James Franklin. and announce that you're hiring Matt. Campbell out of Iowa State, I think ball.

numbers that know Matt Campbell would. say, "That's a great hire. I we don't. know how the hell you got Matt Campbell. out of Iowa State." NFL had been trying. to poach Matt Campbell for years, allegedly. Other teams have been trying. to poach Matt Campbell for years. I. think once Matt Campbell maybe learned. of some of the opportunity that was. available, maybe it was a decision like, "Yeah, I should go try what Penn State. has." It was very emotional. Iowa State. was very cool on the way out, very. thankful for it. It felt like it was a. celebration of Matt Campbell going over. there. How do you feel at this hiring. now, I will say, I can't believe it.

happened for you guys. I I I thought you. guys were in some deep deep deep deep. [ __ ] whenever it was all happening, but. this feels like a massive smashing. success of a hire for you guys, especially with the culture you're. trying to have. >> Yeah, I thought this was a home run. And. I thought uh just watching everybody. talk about him, all of the media, everybody thought this was a home run. hire. I think it's the best fit, all of. the things. And I think he nailed his. press conference. He he showed emotion. He showed humility. He was humble. and. he he kind of gave props and thanks to.

the history while also acknowledging the. future. I think he's been fantastic from. the minute he took over and they did a. great thing in keeping Terry Smith. So, I think they they hit a home run on all. levels. >> and it was getting bad. >> It was getting ugly. >> There's leaked audio. >> which I don't like. I don't like that at. all. I felt weird listening to it, but I. certainly did, you know, cuz he was out. there so he had to know what was being. said. That felt like a weird thing. Felt. like there was attack from within too on. the entire process. I think I obviously. the leaked audio is somebody in a in a. room. Didn't feel like there was a lot.

of people in that room. No, >> you know, from the way it sounded, it. didn't feel like there was a lot of. people in that room. I wonder if Pat. Craft, who was the one speaking in that. audio, could put himself back in that. room, go like, "Well, wait a minute. There was. >> I'm sure he's three people down. I I. think we could probably figure out who. that is, but that was an attack from. within." And then there was donors that. were unhappy with the situ like it felt. like it was getting loud to get Matt. Campbell and kind of quiet at all. Great. hire. I think personally for you guys, good luck to Penn State. Let's talk. about good for Oklahoma. The university. just cancelled all the [ __ ] Hey, we're.

in the playoffs. We got a home game. Don't come to class. We're not expecting. it. Your professors don't want to come. to class. None of us want to do this. So, let's celebrate the hell out of. ball. Let's head over to Hammer D. I. love the message coming out of Oklahoma. Boomer Sooner World, Tone Digs. >> Yeah, I do too. This is awesome. This is. uh you know the schools have done this. in the past but just to see this happen. again is something that needs to happen. so that the students can get I assume. the football team wanted this the. coaches wanted this everybody wanted. this so the students can get lubed up. all day long and be loud and full throat.

for the game on Friday night cuz it's a. big one they won down in Alabama but. they got dominated as far as yardage. they were uh Alabama had 200 more yards. than Oklahoma when they played Bama. Oklahoma had a pick six and a huge punt. return that kind of flipped that game a. lot of turnovers from Ty Simpson in that. game with that really really good. Oklahoma defense. So this one it's a. one-point spread. Some places have it. Oklahoma favored by one. Some people. have it Alabama favored by one or one. and a half, but most of the money lines. are minus 110 - 110. This is by far the. closest spread of the first round and uh.

a lot of people are thinking could be. the closest game as well. >> Yeah. And then obviously next day you. got Miami and Texas A&M two lane miss. JMU Oregon. Now. >> watch out. >> What? What? Who? >> Oregon better watch Yeah, those ducks. better watch out. >> What's that? Everybody. >> feels like the only dog that can win. >> JMU. >> might be JMU. >> JMU. >> next weekend, excuse me. >> Oregon's got their coordinators taking. head coaching jobs other places. Are. they even focused? A lot of people are. asking.

>> Oh, is Oregon going to think that JMU is. just going to Walt? Remember JMU a lot. of wins this year? >> Oh, yeah. >> One loss. JMU lot of wins this year. They're a winning program. A lot of. people think Oregon's just going to kill. them. And maybe Oregon thinks that. Is. that what you guys are thinking? >> Well, I don't know. Rumor has it too. that Bob Chzn, head coach of JMU, said, "Hey, if we if we win this game, I'm not. going to UCLA. I'm staying here.". >> Is that where did you hear that from? >> It's been floating around Twitter. >> Somebody's going to put that out as if. we actually mean that. >> No, I saw that on Twitter, too. I also. saw on X that Dante Moore is already.

thinking like, "So, how do how does. draft prep work?" Like, I. >> You think he's not focused on JMU? >> That's just I mean his OC. Hey, where's. his OC? >> Okay, so you guys are. >> Kentucky. I didn't know we were doing. all this. >> trap game. >> THEY'RE 20 AND A HALF POINT. >> GOOD. >> Just like Seattle. >> Is Oregon about to get. >> Yeah. >> No, they are. >> Yeah. >> You know that uh 2020 Super Bowl team I. was on? >> Yeah. >> Three JMU offensive linemen on that. team. >> What?

>> I didn't know they had NFLers. >> Earl Watford, Aaron Stenny, Josh Wells, all offensive linemen. They're going to. win in the trenches. Don't sleep on J. I. got a stat for you. Okay. >> Yes. >> Tell them. There's four teams where the. offense and defense is both ranked in. the top 10. That's Indiana, that's Texas. Tech, that's Oregon, and that's JMU. >> Wait, boom. And number one team in the. country. Where do all their players come. from? >> Last year. >> And where all where did their culture. get set from? >> Yeah, JMU, I guess.

>> You're right. Okay. All right. I. understand what we're saying. Oregon is. different this year for them, though, right? >> Yeah, cuz they're a focused. >> All right, let's move along. That's. crazy to think because if two lane wins. or JMU wins, >> well, two lane's not with it. >> Okay, there you have it. >> It's on JMU sticks. >> Yeah, miss is going to win by 50. But. JMU. >> JMU is the only one that's got a chance. for that big of upset. Two lane's hot. >> Don't love two lanes head coach saying, I got two phones, two jobs, two hours of. sleep less. You're going into the.

playoffs. We don't need to see the split. hat with Florida and two. You just can't. do that. >> The split tarp is sick. >> Yeah. I don't think people are very. happy that his team's in there either. So him saying, "Yeah, you're not think. about me. I could be doing a lot more. [ __ ] you know." But on that note, congrats to him on getting a job with. Florida and getting two lane the dance. >> A lot of people attacking Notre Dame. and, you know, Miami and Alabama and. everything. >> Tain and JMU are in the college football. playoff. And uh I don't want to stick up. for ESPN because everybody understands.

that I've gone to war with ESPN publicly. multiple times throughout a lot of. different years and a lot of different. events, but everybody that say all ESPN. cares about is ratings and money. You. don't think they would have called and. said, "Hey, we're changing the top five. champions thing. We're not having two of. these teams in this 12 team playoffs.". Right? I thought about that last night. I'm like, why didn't they we could have. got noted? They could have said we could. only get one group of five champ. There. could have been some clause that they. could have added in there and the only. people that would have been pissed were. the small school that was going to get. [ __ ] this particular year. So, two.

group of five schools in there. Notre. Dame out. I don't know if money was the. decision. Okay. I don't know if money. was the decision. And I don't know if. necessarily the TV network was in. control of it completely. >> You're saying they wouldn't have rather. had Notre Dame vers or Notre Dame vers. Oregon than who those teams are playing. right now? >> I just don't think so. I mean, there's. some people in positions that we don't. >> maybe. >> have think they make a lot of good. decisions in some places. Okay, we've. seen them all. >> It is crazy when you get a peak behind a. curtain, too. In a lot of places, not.

I'm not saying just one place. I'm. talking a lot of places. You get a peak. behind the curtain, somebody's making a. decision, you go, how the [ __ ] is that? That's the thing making a decision. Then. you look at it, this is inspirational. If that thing can get that position, anybody can do anything. Why are they. holding their breath? >> Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. a man who's a fivetime allpro. A man who. played 13 seasons in the NFL, beloved, I. believe, by literally everybody. Fresh.

off a USO holiday tour where he went to. five countries in the Middle East in. seven days to say thanks to the troops. Living legend, two-time Super Bowl. champion Vince Wolfford. >> How are you, man? >> What's going on everyone, >> dude? Thank you for joining us. Thank. you for going on that USO tour. I had. the opportunity to do that. Uh I forget. what year it was. We went over to Japan. The USO people are fantastic. Spectacular. How was your trip? And uh. what's your big takeaway from it, Vince? >> You know, this is my third this is my. third year doing it. Um and this year.

was absolutely amazing. Again, you just. don't understand how much our uh service. members and their family sacrifice and. just a little bit of our time during. this holiday season um just to bring. them a little joy and a little smiles. It means a lot to them. we are we are. represented very very well um as America. uh in these different countries. So to. be able to get you know guys out there. like myself, Jeff Ross, the Roastmaster, uh Ernest and and Cody Leon and you know.

Mia Jackson, you know, Mia, a comedian, you know, we we just br all these cheers. and joy for the holiday season. And um. it's always a touching um time of the. year for me just giving back and just. showing them how much love and support. we have for them. Um because these guys. are deployed and you know away from. families and all that stuff. So you know. thing they do the dirty work and they. make their sacrifices daily for us to. have the life that we have and the least. we can do is just give our time back to.

them. So, you know, we're not all. military, but at the same time, we can. all support. And I think during the. holiday season, right after. Thanksgiving, heading into Christmas, being able just to be with our service. members, man, it's just a joy. And it's. just so much excitement when they see us. and they smile and some of the times, you know, we heard a lot like, man, you. know, these the higher ups telling like, "We haven't seen you smile in months, you know, and all of a sudden they laugh. and smiling and have a good time with. us." And and that's what the USO is all. about. Just giving our time and uh just.

understand that they're not alone and. we're here to back them and support. them. >> You're a good man, Vince. Thank you the. truth. Thank you to the truth. But. you're a good man for doing that, Vince. Obviously, you don't have to do that. You know, like the people that do. charity and give back, everybody's like, "Well, that's what you're supposed to. do." Well, yes. I think that is what. you're supposed to do, but not a lot of. people do that. Signing up to leave your. family and friends during a time in. which it's very vital to be around. family and friends, to spend time with. heroes that can't be with family and. friends is a very cool thing. Vince, we. appreciate the hell out of you doing. that. I was following along with Ernest, you know, the Deville Records big loud.

boys were posting a lot. Saw you in. helicopters. I saw Jeffrey Ross doing. some magical stuff. Cody was obviously. cooking out there. I uh I love following. along with what you guys did and uh we. can't thank you enough for doing that. Now, on that note, a lot of ballers, okay, in those uh military trips, a lot. of ball numbers, a lot of opinions, a. lot of ideas, a lot of football fans. Who do you think is in the best position. around the NFL right now if you were to. compare your two teams, the Houston. Texans or the New England Patriots? And.

then we can also add in the Indianapolis. Colts cuz we just signed Philip Rivers. Vince. Yeah. Yeah, Vince. Yeah, Vince, you guys are in some [ __ ] now, brother. Uh, but on that note, your two teams, the Patriots and the Texans, seemingly. very, very good. How much you been. paying attention? And what are kind of. your thoughts on both the squads? >> Well, I pay attention. Um, you know, I. pay attention. And I think both of these. organizations and teams is is got. something to prove. Um I think you know. what Mike is doing in New England is is. amazing. Uh get the team and rather the.

troops back and get us back on track and. but you know to me the scary team is. Houston. You know because if Houston as. if they could just figure out their. offense, they're going to be a problem. Um they got one of the top defense if. not the top defense in the game and we. all know defense win Super Bowls and. they have it. you know, if they if they. just get it together offensively, I. think that's a scary scary team to see. in the postseason. And I remember in '. 07 with us going to playing a New York. Giants team that was I think they made,

you know, playoff 9 and seven was a a. wild card and they went on to win the. Super Bowl. But they peaked at the right. moment and I can see that happening uh. with Houston. If if they get. offensively, if they get it going, um I. think this this team can be very very. scary. So, I'm pretty excited for both. organizations. I played for both of. them. Amazing organization. Uh great fan. base. Um and and you know this time of. the year you have to play your best. So. we're going to see what's going to. happen. But I'm I'm sitting pretty good. in the good shape with two of my former.

teams uh uh in in the race and in in a. hunt with uh Houston being in the hunt. So I'm just looking forward to the rest. of the season. >> I like that you have two teams that are. winning because the Houston Texans. organization for a little bit there, you. know, they look like ass cheeks. And. then the Patriots, the Patriots had a. couple years there. It's like, wait, wait, wait. Are the Patriots about to be. ash cheeks? And then lo and behold, two. organizations that have good people in. powerful positions turn it around and. make them great. Now, on that note, speaking of being great for a long time, we have diehard Patriots fan Boston.

Connor, who is uh very eager to speak. with you, Vince. >> Yeah, Vince, thank you for your service. First of all, I mean, I think across the. board, um you're one of everybody's. favorite players just in the history of. football, but in New England, you are. especially beloved. Uh, I mean, every. single year you were on that Dline, it. was just kind of something that the team. and fans could hang their hat on. And. speaking of the Dline, the Patriots. paid, uh, Milton Williams, uh, the. DTackle from Philadelphia over hund00. million. I mean, he's the highest paid. player in the history of the Patriots,

and he plays on the Dline. The Texans, their highest paid players, Denil. Hunter, also on the Dline. Can you just. talk about the importance of having that. kind of top tier dominant defensive line. and why that leads to so much success. not just as a team but a defense as a. whole and just that your thoughts around. Demo and Mike Vrabel being kind of. defensive head coaches especially in. today's NFL where everybody seems to be. trying to get the newest you know. brightest offensive head coach.

>> Well, I think I think it starts up. front. You know, I'm a big believer um. you have to start in the trenches. offensively and defensively line if you. want to be successful um playing the. ball of football. I don't care what. level you're at because, you know, we. seen a couple years ago Cincinnati, you. know, had a shot at the end of, you. know, at the end of the game, but they. couldn't get the ball to a wide open. Jamar Chase with Ramsey falling on the. ground because Sam was in. Aaron Don was in his face being sacked. So, you know, and I think I posted then. I'm like everybody want to talk about.

these elite skill position, but if you. can't get the ball to them, it doesn't. matter. Um, so I'm a big believer in in. going up front, fixing the offense, defensive line, and building your roster. around that. You have great success in. this league. And with, you know, with. Demo and and Mike, two defensive minded. coaches, um, you know, they're going to. play some good football. You know, um, they've been doing amazing jobs. Demo, you know, the the couple years he's been. a head coach, man, his defense been been. on fire. Um, and Mike, you know, I. played with Mike, I played for Mike when.

I was in Houston and everything. So, I. know defensively they understand what it. takes to get there, right? Um, and I. think the biggest that's for me, if I'm. building a roster, that's the first. place I would attack because without. without those guys up front, you know, it really doesn't matter. And plus, they're game setters. You know, you they. set they set the tone in games. you. know, if if you can have a defense that. offensive line can run the football and. can be able to stop the run and rush the. passer, you know, get guys in third and. long, um you're going to have some good. success. So, I think both teams, they.

have what it takes uh defensively on. that front. Um and offens the offensive. line, that's the key. You know, can you. block? Can you hold up? Uh can you. defend the run when you have to defend. the run? Even though this league now is. a more passing league, but in the end, you have to you're going to have to run. the ball at some point. Uh can you get. those yards? If it's fourth and one, can. you get that one yard? Um, you talk. about it all year in training camp and. leading in the season, it's going to. come down one, it's going to come down. to a play sooner or later where you have. to be able to stop the run and make a.

play. Can you gain that inch? Can you. gain that one or two yards and fourth. down? Um, defensively, can you hold um. can you hold and be sufficient on those. those plays? So, uh, I think both of. these side both of these teams has it up. front and that's why it's going to be. some fun football. And we just talking. about d these two teams, but we have. other teams in the league that has. pretty good offense and defensive lines, too. So, I'm a huge huge believer with. the front offense and defensive line. I'm going to always spend my money.

there. If I'm a GM or a head coach, I. want to I want to make sure we have play. playmakers at those positions, guys. >> Build from the inside out. You know, I. think we believe in that as well. We. actually have a uh segment every single. week where we go in the trenches and we. rank the top five offensive lines each. single week and that has basically told. us which teams are going to win the. Super Bowl. If you can block and you can. stop people from uh killing your. quarterback, you're going to win the. Super Bowl. The defensive line though, if you look at the Philadelphia Eagles.

and the teams that made it last year, the Dline having four ones basically. seemingly is the new game. So the trench. is more important than it has been I. think in like the last 10 years. nowadays. On that note, a man who. battled in the trenches with you has a. question. >> Yeah, Vince, my name is AQ Shipley. I. played 12 years as a center in the. league. Went against you twice. Once in. New England, once in Houston. I'm sure. you remember because those weeks. >> Yeah. Night sweats, nightmares, all the things. I think we.

actually have a clip. We might have a. clip of how far. >> and then all of a sudden you pressed the. [ __ ] out of me. So that was really So. that was really cool. So that was really. cool. But I just want to know at what. age you realized that you were bigger, stronger, and more athletic than every. single person on planet Earth. >> I think I I think in high school I. understood, you know, understand as a as. a as a freshman in high school, I was. 275 pounds, you know, as a freshman. Then my junior year, I mean, my. sophomore year, I was 300 lb. So, they.

move from defensive end to defensive. tackle. Um, so I knew then, you know, um, I was pretty gifted when it came to. my size, my speed, my, you know, football IQ. I learned a lot of. football. Um, especially going to M and. then getting a chance to play for Bill. Bellich. I learned a lot of football. there. So I think in the league it took. me four years and a lot of people don't. understand I had to learn how to play. nose tackles because I was a defensive. tackle my whole career. Uh, so defensive. attack and nose tackle are two different. positions. So, I had to learn the game.

of nose tackle. And it took me four. years when I realized how to play that. position. And I was real comfortable at. that position, I think. And at at year. four, that's when my career really took. off. Um cuz I I kind of understood how. to play that position. So, you know, I've always known since high school like. this is what I was destined to do. This. is my gift. how can I be the best I. possibly can be and just put the work in. and just learn um the game itself from. the inside out, you know, understand.

offensive formations and and blitz and. coverages, the rotation, if we check, what we going to do. It was a lot that. came with it, but I put the time in just. to understand all of those things and it. worked out well for me. >> A lot of highlights against the Colts. here. Don't love that. Obviously got a. chance to witness it in real time. You. talked about going to Miami and. obviously playing great bowl. you were a. part of something special down there and. we're in a special time of season. Go. ahead, DB. >> Yeah. First and foremost, great to see. you, Big V. Can't wait to catch up with. you, man, down there in the crib. But as.

a BCS national champion, what's your. thoughts on the new format with the. college football playoffs now at 12. teams with their shot to shine, maybe. going to 16 soon. Who knows? >> HEY, MIAMI GOT IN. STOP SHAKING YOUR. HEAD. STOP SHAKING YOUR HEAD. >> I THINK we need to go back to the 14. model, even back to the old school BCS. model, and figure out who can play for. the national championship. But what's. your thoughts uh on that and kind of. remind us of kind of who who were some. of those other players on that defense. with you on a national championship. team? >> You know, right now college football is.

way different. I mean um it's a lot of. football being played. I mean you know. you're looking at teams now playing 14. games or whatever it may be. You you. basically playing an NFL season in. college. You know you talking about. these kids that's still developing and. still learning the game. So I'm not a. huge fan of it. But hey, it is what it. is. Who cares what I think? BUT. >> WE CARE. VINCE KNOW THAT'S WHY WE ASKED. VINCE. THAT'S WHY we asked. >> It's, you know, it's always going to be. a problem, right? Because, you know, you. have some conferences are better. You. know, some don't have enough talent,

enough people in their conference and. they go out and be undefeated. And the. first question they ask, well, you. didn't play nobody. And I always tell. people, hey, we played in the Big East. when I played, you know, and we went on. and we did what we had to do. And you. know, history just itself, you know, with guys, you know, Jonathan Vilman, DJ. Williams, you know, Ed Reed, um, you. talk Rob, you talking about a roster full of, you. know, Andre Johnson offensively, Clinton. Porters, um, Willis McGee. So, it goes.

on and on. Sean Taylor, you know, so it. goes on and on and on and we we was in. the Big East. And, um, it's just a tough. situation to be in. You going to always. be wrong. So, um I'm a big I'm a big. believer in you don't leave it up to um. the committee. Simple as that. You don't. leave it up to the committee because. whatever the committee come back with, hey, it is what it is. If you just take. care of business, you don't have to. worry about that. So, I see both sides. of it. Um I'm a huge fan of, hey, take. care of business, win the games you're. supposed to win, and you know, with the.

whole Notre Dame situation, you know, headtohead, it is what it is. You know, we beat you. It is what it is. So, um. it's just tough, you know. It's just. tough. and somebody gonna always be. upset. >> always. >> every year. I don't care if we have 20. teams, it's going to be that 21st team. saying, "Hey, we should have been in.". So, it doesn't matter. You can't you. can't please everyone. So, you just got. to do the best you can. But, as a team, you have to understand, don't leave it. in anyone else's hands. >> You have to take care of your own.

business, win the games you're supposed. to win. And if if you do that, you won't. have no words. But if you get to the. point where you're dropping a game, you're dropping two games, and all of a. sudden it's it's in the committed hand, you can't do anything but sit back and. just let it happen, whatever it may be. >> He was speaking directly to Notre Dame. right there. Yeah, that is Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Yep. That's we're speaking. Yep. Speaking of Notre Dame. Uh I can. already hear Marcus Freeman, though. That's the entire off seasonason. That's. the entire We're not leaving it to. anybody's hands. Like that is the That's. probably their drive, their motivation. I think they got a good team next year.

Good team. >> He's still there. >> Who? Marcus Freeman. >> What do you think's gonna happen? >> Should be there. >> He's the current odds on favorite to be. the next head football coach of the New. York Giants. >> What? >> What? Yeah. >> Wow. Okay. Vince. >> I mean, that's different. I mean, if he. if he's leaving that program to go to. the pro, I I get it. But as far as being. fired and stuff like that, I don't think. I think he's doing an amazing job at. Notre Dame. I mean, he's he's doing an. amazing job there. So, um, it is what it. is. But if he's taking if he's jumping.

shipping and head into the NFL, you. know, good for him. Um, and. congratulations if that's that's what it. is. But I think he's a heck heck of a. coach. I think he'd rather the troops, you know, taking those two losses back. to back early in the season. One is. winning against us and then right after. us. He rather the troops. The team got. behind him. He got behind the team. They. took they put their head down. They put. their foot in the ground and they just. went on the rampage with winning. winning. So that's the signs of a good. football team. So, um, I think, you. know, at the end of the day, like I say, when you leave it up to the committee,

um, >> once again, let me get back Notre Dame. fans, listen. >> Uh, let's talk about no committee. Let's. talk about the way the NFL is run. There's some teams, you know, that could. go on a a magical run. We just signed. Phil Rivers, 44 year old grandpa. Go. ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Vince, you are also 44 years old. And uh I don't I'm sure you remember. back in 2011 you picked off a Phil. Rivers pass. So you know he can still do. it. >> The question is can can you still do it?

If Demo Ryan Well hold on hold on hold. on hold on. If Demo Ryan or Mike Vrabel. calls you, let's say week 18 and they. say, "Hey Vince, we need you. Listen, we. need you to come back in maybe for one. or two games to help us win a Super. Bowl. I know you've already won two, but. yeah, we need five snaps. We need five. snaps out of you and and they might be. the most crucial five snaps of the game. >> Exactly. You know what it is. You know.

what we're doing here, Vince? >> Is there any way you would entertain. that? >> Absolutely. I mean, my mind I'm like, "Yeah, I can do I could I could I could. still play at the level I played at my. mind, but my body tell me something. different." So, I'm just being honest. with you. But, you know, my, you know, I. spent 13 years in the game and I enjoyed. every minute of it. And it's time, it. was time for me to walk away. So, I I. sit happily. retired home. >> Okay. >> And just living life. So, I would not.

entertain it. But my heart in my heart, yes, I'm playing every Sunday in my. heart. >> Are you still swimming? >> Yeah, I'm still swimming. I still swim. Um, >> I thought that was genius. I I hard. knocks maybe before Hard Knocks I'd. heard it that like instead of running in. the offseason you started swimming. because of your joints and then you felt. like you actually got in better shape. because of that and made your game. better. Is that true? >> Yes. Yes. I um I used to swim you know. once I got like year around year six or. seven I you know got introduced to.

swimming and when I tell you it changed. it changed my game um big time. So I I. didn't after that my conditioning was. swimming you know I would walk and swim. you know that was that was my regimen. that that it worked for me and that was. the best shape I've been in you know of. my career when I introduced that. swimming so yeah I'm big big fan of. swimming. >> that swim cardio is different where you. working every every muscle in your body. >> every every muscle in your body you. working so. >> and your diet. >> it was it was big for me.

>> how's the golf game right now though. what's the handicap at. >> I'm sitting at about eight but I haven't. played in a while, but uh yeah, I'm. sitting at about eight still. Okay. Played probably like two months ago and. uh shot at 84. Um so I got to get back. on the lease. I'm looking forward to it. >> What did you do? You were a shot. What. was he? Uh. >> I think you got put in uh shot. >> Yeah. >> Do you got a jumper? >> I played all of that. >> And you have a J. >> How much did you weigh? How much did you. weigh?

>> 275 300 lb. How about when you were. playing? >> When I was playing with my what was my. weight when I was playing? >> Yeah. >> I started the season I would be um. anywhere from 325 to 335 beginning and. towards the end of the year um I would. pick up I would pick up more weight. Uh. it was strategic for me. Um but I tell. you what, I never missed a weighin. I. tell you that because I knew when we. days was on that Thursday I would be. ready to weigh in. But I told Bill all. the time, "Hey, Bill, if you catch me 2.

hours after this weigh in, you might be. shocked. So don't don't even try to pull. it.". >> It's like a boxer. IT'S LIKE A BOXER. waiting for a fight. Yeah. AQ is doing. HEY, THAT'S A TRENCHES MOVE. THIS GUY. was drinking What's that [ __ ]. >> Uh magnesium citrate. It was basically. laxative. Yep. You've done it. >> I've been I've been there, done it. >> Yep. >> Trust me, man. I've been in I just tried. everything up under the sun legally, but. man, I I've been there. And it was like. a being a boxer, you know, take it off. and put it back on. I have a couple days.

before game day and I'll be ready at. game day and then do it all again, you. know, the following week. So, um, it it. was fine times, but at the same time, put a lot of strain on your body by your. living, you learn, you know, but you. have to do what you got to do, especially when it's 800 $800 a pound. So, yeah, you do what you have to do to. save them coins. So, and I did that. >> Smart. You're a genius. Seemingly an. incredible guy. Shout out to you for. this USO tour for the third straight. year doing it during the holiday season. with the big loud boys and everybody and. Jeffrey Ross. And uh.

>> shout out to you for what you did for. football. We appreciate your. contributions to sport, man. Thank you. for everything. >> I appreciate you. Thank you guys for. having me on. You have a great holidays. >> Are you still on the grill at all? >> Come on, man. That's all I do. That I am. the grill. >> Ladies and gentlemen, that's been for. >> Yeah, man. >> I am the grill. We need another foreman. and convince the will fork. >> Yeah, it feels like that's a lot of work. for somebody. Good luck out there. Somebody go do that. He is the girl. You. already have the ad. All right, before.

we get out of here, we have four. minutes. Let's go through AQ's big. takeaways from this past NFL weekend, shall we? AQ has three things that are. his big takeaways that need to be. chatted about a little bit more. First. one from the weekend that was Retro. Rodgers. >> That's right. He turned back the clock. this week. He was vintage Aaron Rogers. And let's take a look at the very first. throw he threw in this game. Let's draw. back to pass. Fake play action. Yep. Let's just send this thing as far as we. can throw it. Perfect ball to DK down. the sideline. First throw of the game.

Now, let's go back to what he used to. do, right? He used to run around. He. used to do all this stuff and show his. athleticism right here. >> Sit in the pocket. Yep. First of all, look at the protection by the O line. Great. All the time in the world. Broken. play. Move to the left. Let's sidearm. this [ __ ] to DK. Another big play. And then this one. This is old school Aaron again off his. back foot. Little fade away. Three-step. drop as we get this snap. Just sit. there. Yep. Let's just heave this thing. Back foot. Fade away. Perfect ball over. the outside shoulder.

>> Also had a rushing touchdown. Obviously. did the discount double check all over. the place. Had the day in a game that I. think Steelers fans were pumped about. Let's go to Hammer D. Tone. Is that. Retro Rogers about to be the Rogers that. we see for the foreseeable future? >> I hope so cuz that was awesome. And that. was kind of the errand that we were. seeing at the beginning of the year and. then there was that lull during the the. middle and hopefully this brings them. into the rest of the year. But yeah, that was that was his best game of the. year and it didn't help like you saw the. protection there. The Ravens only have. 19 sacks I think on the season. They are. not very good at getting to the.

quarterback. Like if Rogers is going to. have time, he's going to be able to make. those throws. So hopefully that's that's. what we get. NextGen stats says Aaron. Rogers completed all three deep passes. uh 20 plus yards for 121 yards against. the Ravens in week 14 with all three. going to DK. So had three deep passes. completed all of them. Only took three. shots. He had just seven deep. completions on the season entering week. 14. They hadn't been very explosive. Maybe that'll add to it. DK Mechaf. awesome to watch him playing Gunner. Once again will never say another thing. about DK Metaf. What's the second.

takeaway from UAQ? Love conquers all. Sorry, AQ. I'm going. to say that. >> No, I love it. No, he's fantastic. And. this is why I wanted to showcase him. Obviously for Tai, but because he was. that good against the Blitz. Cover zero. numerous times in this game. Let's take. a look at this. Boom. He gets cover. zero, slides left, moves up in the. pocket, and just slings this thing down. the field to Melton for the touchdown. I. mean, he shows this all season long. This one is incredible. Again, blitz. Notice how many people are up at the.

line of scrimmage. He's checking. He's. recognizing. He's getting the blitz all. figured out, getting the line in the. right spot. We snap this thing. The guy. off the end pushes his DN. Look at that. one. If we can rewind that one more. time. >> Look at the way he throws this. I mean, he's literally just sitting back there. Watch this. Off back foot, right leg, just throws it to a spot to Watson. Unbelievable. And then this, >> those used to be the scary throws. Yeah. Those were the ones that were turnovers. Correct. Now they're becoming. completions cuz he knows what the. defense is doing. >> Yeah. And that's just like part of his. game now. You're right. It used to be. like you'd see him throw off that back.

foot, be like, "Oh, Jesus Christ. Here. we go. And now it's like, okay, he's got. something. >> Hey, let's go to the last takeaway here. AQ Shipley. Love conquers all. And Puka. Power. This guy was unbelievable. Had a. front row seat for this. This is. incredible. Watch this. This was the. first big completion from Stafford. Just. pluck this thing. Look at the hands on. him. He's so strong with his hands. Here's another one. A dig from the other. side. He's down here on the right in the. slot. He's going to come up. Stafford. throws this ball in between three. defenders over top of the linebacker. One-handed catch there. Again, another.

one here. This is at the end. This is a. two-minute drill. Seven route. Need a. play. Need a chunk. Yep. Go to Puka. And. then this last one. Watch this double. move up top real quick. Boom. Boom. Boom. >> Oh, >> there it is. Pa. How good is that? >> That's puka power, baby. We had Retro. Rogers. We had love conquers all. We got. Puka Power. And we got hour two on the. other side. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice. It might change their. life. Take three.

All the way here in Eugene smoking on. some new green. Changing up routine. gratitude truly. >> I'm all the way in smoking on some new. green changing up the routine. Gratitude. truly feel like new school. Life's. pretty cool. G3. tank top. >> So this insane I'm the fifth guy ever to.

ride this motorcycle. It's a 1996 Fat. Boy. They've been doing it since 1999. It's called the leader of the quack. >> You can call me the leader of the quack. right now. Quack quack quack. The guy currently his name is Pat. He's. a dog. He's wearing a different jacket. today and he told me to wear the one. he's wearing. This is a Grateful Dead.

Damn it. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice could change their life. >> Hello beautiful people and welcome to. our humble the boat. The thunder on this. magical what Wednesday December 10th.

2025 hour two of the program begins now. >> Football. >> is the greatest. God bless your soul at. the toxic table at Boston Con and at Ty. Schmidt. Nin-year NFL vet Darius J. Butler is here. 12-year NFL vet, Super. Bowl champion AQ Shipley is here. And. joining us live FROM HAMMER DAD D IS AP. TONE. TONE, how are the Gamblers doing? Okay, how are we doing as we sit here. staring down the most meaningful. football of the year? How are the.

gamblers against these sports books who. have all the AIs at their disposal where. we only have our brains and our hearts. and our feelings and our minds and our. projections of things that can never be. as accurate as Joe Donardo on a Doppler. but our hopes for how a game is going to. come. How are the fans doing against. these greedy sports books who seemingly. always have it right? >> Yeah, if we remember uh going back to. the start of the season with the NFL, it. was uh you know where teams were getting. 60% or more of the bets. Uh it was like. on a trend of one and four, 0 and five,

one and four. And then the middle of the. season, you know, things got better. Didn't have any winning weeks, but. there, you know, there was four and. sixes, stuff like that. There has been. one uh winning week this year where uh. teams getting 60% more or more of the. bets where the gamblers have had a. winning record. Yeah. One crazy. >> one. >> That's not good. >> All it takes is one. >> I mean, that's not I'm sure people are. hitting touchdown parlays and stuff like. that, but we're just going strictly off. of game lines. That's where we're. sitting at. >> Yeah. And there's parlays hitting all.

the time. Those things are so. >> they always hit. That's what they say. The more parlays you do, the better. chance you have a win. >> That's not real. Nope. Sure is. >> Thank you. That that is Thank you for. that. That was us checking ourselves. immediately in the middle of something. Just like what you said earlier. I heard. if they win the coach ain't leave. It's. like that's not real. We need to make. sure people know that's not real. And. what he said not real either. A lot of. that's going to take place. But to your. point, there is some fairy tale belief. that parlays hit all the time. And when. you hit one like once every three weeks, you think to yourself, "Yeah, that's why.

I do it.". >> Got him. >> I'm a genius. And then all the other. times, you're always just one away. Seems like you're always just one catch. maybe away. One yard away sometimes. Maybe just one leg for 250,000 people to. all hit a same game parlay. That would. have been legendary. Do you remember. when that was AQ Shipley? >> I do not. >> Well, we had that for a Super Bowl. Well, it was our last public parlay that. we put out actually. >> Yeah. >> So many people. >> What What was the miss?

>> Patrick Mahomes over 225 yards passing. >> And what do you throw for 223? >> 215 or something like that. >> He had like 150 in the first half, too. >> Yeah, we that one we were not worried. about. Travis Kelce scored a touchdown. the first quarter. That one was over. I. think Mahomes had to score a touchdown, too, maybe. >> Uh. >> Macaffrey, I think. >> Yeah, somebody else. We had a couple. touchdowns and then Mahomes for the. thing. It was plus I forget what the bet. was, but 250,000 people riding with us. Definitely the biggest bet, group bet of. all time. >> And we hit the first two in like the. first quarter and it was like now we. just need Pat to just be a quarterback.

in the NFL and win a Super Bowl and. somehow it didn't hit. It's like. >> oh. >> that's when I started worrying. >> That's it's it was um it was the Chiefs. Eagles and it was cuz Tony remember Tony. had that it was like the drive here we. go have enough to get yards. >> and then Tony brought the ball back all. the way to like the 15. It's a huge. That's exactly. It was a heartbreaker. and then they run corn dog through do. the whole thing. >> Yeah. So he his return basically. eliminated us from winning it and we. were watching live. Remember we was. streaming it live. We were watching and.

everybody was and then immediately upon. it not hitting when you're in the give. out public parlay game. >> Man, people get really mad that they put. their money on your parlay even if you. were that close and it should have been. So we got I don't know 200 some thousand. people on the bet. I don't know maybe. 100,000 of them let us know that we're. the worst humans. It's a lot of fun. So. that's why whenever Tony starts saying. this is a good thing we got to tell you. it's not and don't we're not telling you. to do anything. Joining us now is a man. who loves giving out picks though. He's. seeing a board actually. Ladies and. gentlemen, he's a college football. national champion. He's a Super Bowl. champion. He's a RER Cup winner. He's a.

father of 10. Happy holidays to all of. them. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah, Hawker. >> Merry Christmas. >> Yes. Merry Christmas. Are you guys uh. you're backpedaling on your Philip River. situation? Even though I was very. positive yesterday. I guess you were. too. You were positive, but some guys in. there are backpedaling. >> Uh, >> thank you, AJ, for helping me see the. light. I appreciate your positivity. Needed it. >> So, what So, were you back DB's very. good backpedalers? Now, I watched a. video of Coach Sabin saying that the.

backpedal is the least important part of. being a corner. >> Yeah, I saw that, too. >> I didn't see that. >> Yeah, I'll send it to you. He was. talking about he had a corner that. >> quarter turn quarter turn the whole. time. He said, so I used to think that. the back pedal was the most important. part. I used to coach it. Then I had a. guy that just only could do the quarter. turn and he was the best. He worked out. All right. So, let's not just. automatically rule people out basically. because they can't do I think that was. kind of the message. And oh yeah, on. that note, congratulations Coach Sabin. officially going into the Hall of Fame. last night. >> Oh yeah.

>> Uh obviously it's been an absolute honor. to get to know him, become friends with. him, and listen to him speak and learn. about how he views different things, situations. It's very obvious why he is. a goat. It is very obvious that he has. that, you know, they talk about Mamba. mentality or how MJ is or how these. people that are at the top and how they. activate. He has all of that, but also. he's evolved because he's had to teach. others in his humil It's a very fas he's. a fascinating individual. He is so. incredibly supremely talented at what he. does while also still remaining.

relatable somehow and also having. interest of things that other people. find relatable. All these athletes get. in these super crazy diets and they. almost become these like superhero. robots where you can't even touch them. Tiger Woods becomes this like machine. basically. Kobe Bryant, rest in peace, known be a machine. Michael Jordan, this. entire thing. Nick Sabin is like a guy. you can go talk to and he is going to be. able to give advice and information to. everybody somehow. He is special. This. guy's special. Congratulations to him. going into the Hall of Fame. It was in. Las Vegas yesterday. I was going to try. my best to get out there. That's a.

longass flight because it wasn't only. coach Sabin, former teammate of mine as. well. Steve Sllayton goes in West. Virginia. He goes in to the Hall of. Fame. >> I like seeing Steve Sllayton get his. flowers because of how special he was uh. at West Virginia. And that came from a. guy that played at Yukon at the same. exact time as us in the Big East. And. this dude was supposed to go to. Maryland. Maryland uh he committed to. Maryland. He was out of Philadelphia. area. He was supposed to go to Maryland. They pull the scholarship from him. West. Virginia Rich Rodriguez basically just. gets in there like a week beforehand and. says, "Hey, we'll we'll we'll give you. the ball. We'll give you the ball." He.

comes in obviously highly touted. This. guy's special. He's going to be good. One of the chilst, coolest dudes of all. time. Got along with everybody. And. whenever he started running, he was. unstoppable. And he had vision, he had. cut back, he had explosion, and he was. the dog. I mean, workouts, everything. He was Steve Sllayton and Pat White. I. got to ride their coattails to a lot of. very cool moments. And uh obviously, we. won a bunch of games. We didn't win the. biggest game in college football, uh but. we did win a bunch of games. We change.

the trajectory of West Virginia. And I. keep saying we, it was really they, those two, actually those three right. there. As Owen Schmidt kind of pound. somebody, and then we had Darius Renard. at wide receiver as well. And we had. studs on the defense. And we had some. offensive linemen that end up going to. the NFL. But it's like we had a great. team. It was an honor to be a part of. And Steve Sllayton and Pat White were. the ones that put the West Virginia. Mountaineers onto the current map that. they're on. They would play uh what's. the video game you guys would play? >> NCAA 2K15. >> Okay. So, uh, but it would have been.

earlier than 15 for sure. Yeah. Cuz, uh, I graduated high school in '05. >> 07 then. >> Yeah. So, uh, probably the 07 one. Pat. and Steve were unstoppable in NCAA 2K or. whatever. So, people talk about that is. something like that's fun for gamers. It. also made the West Virginia logo and. brand very, very, very, very, very. popular. Then we were playing on. Thursday Night Football on ESPN, the. West Virginia University scenes. We. probably played Yukon on one of those. games. We were like the Thursday night. team. That was before the NFL was. playing. So they had us on the the we. had plaques on the wall in our facility.

that was like most watched Thursday. night game ever with this amount of. people watching. Most watched Thursday. night game ever. And obviously that. might not sound like something to a team. that's big in the SEC or big in the Big. 10 or the Notre Dame squad that's had. their own TV network since the beginning. of time, which is such an advantage. But. for like West Virginia, us being crowned. as like the mustwatch teams in the. middle of the week whenever people had. nothing else to do was huge for our. program. And a lot of the reason why. people were electrified by our team is. because that dude be be would be running.

wide ass open down a field multiple. times alongside Pat White and an offense. that was electric. So I'm happy he's. getting his flowers. I'm hoping that. he's getting a chance to really take it. all in. He's super humble dude. Doesn't. really like to do the whole song and. dance of being celebrated. So I'm happy. he was there last night. I'm happy he. got a chance to be celebrated. And uh. congrats to them both. But Yukon, we saw. you on a couple Thursday nights. You saw. Steve a couple times I would say as. well. >> Yeah, Steve was special. Obviously Pat. White was special, but one they kind of.

revolutionized and changed college. football like that offense. Obviously. the video game was one thing but to see. that it was almost as different as. seeing like a triple option but it was. just it was two guys and sometimes like. you said Owen Schmidt back there who was. athletic too. So when he got the ball in. space he was also a problem but at that. point you know Big East was you know we. had some good teams that Ruckers we were. doing well. Cincinnati was doing well. Brian Kelly there, South Florida, everybody kind of helped the run. >> Shady was a pitch. >> Shady was that pit. Yeah, we had guys. all over the place, but you guys were. definitely at the top. And even, you.

know, you always rooted on your. conference when at that point you go to. a big BCS game and it's like, all right, go and kick Georgees or whoever's ass. and let them know it's not just it's not. sweet out here. So, shout out to. Sllayton. Shout out to Pat White. Like, they were a special special group. So, glad he getting his flowers. >> Yeah, shout out to them, man. Thank you. I had a lot of fun because you guys a. lot of too much fun. Probably you guys. saw it and were a part of some of it. So, you might partially to blame. But on. that note, thank you guys. And congrats. to both those guys going into the Hall. of Fame and everybody else that won into. the Hall of Fame. Joining us now is a. guy that'll go into all the Hall of.

Fames. >> Mhm. >> Probably a broadcasting one or two. And. I'll tell you what, maybe even a. statistical one as well. >> Maybe. >> because he's not scared to use the. numbers while also using the the brain. capacity of a man who is a multipletime. defensive player of the year. A man who. comes from a family that has just only. created stallions, his son being one of. them. Last week or the week before, his. boy was just roaming wild on a beach. while he continued to talk ball to us. This guy is a legend, ladies and. gentlemen. Long hair having handsome.

face, 6'10, monster of a man. JJ Watt. joins us. >> Y, >> how you doing, J? >> I'm great. I'm happy to be here. So. excited. Wednesday, beautiful day. Lots. to discuss. Just fantastic. You got a. backwards cap on. Something's in your. cup. Don't know what. Excited to find. out. Two rings, one gold watch. What a. life. >> So, first of all, >> rubber. >> I know. Hair tie and a ring. >> Rubber ring. Rubber ring. Because Jimmy.

Fallon did that [ __ ] to his finger. >> Yeah. Almost took his finger off. >> Yeah. Whatever. They said Jimmy Fallon. got all boozed up. But this is what the. report was. I'm not saying this is what. happened. I would like that to be very. clear. This is how I have learned of the. story. >> that happened. Edge of his marble. kitchen island. He took a fall and it. almost ripped his finger off. >> Yeah. And I watched Jimmy Fallon and I. remember his finger just being. different. >> A massive cast on for a while. >> And it came back and I think was ugly. and it was like, "All right, so if I. ever get married, I'm not doing that. There's no way." So I got that bad boy. and then hair tie for my daughter.

Thanks. Hope you feel great about it. Okay. I love having my daughter with me. every single moment of my life as I work. hard for my family knowing that I can. just do this right here. Oh, and then my. daughter and my wife right there on my. heart at all times. And then you lift. this thing up and it's like boom, there's a tattoo. How close that heart. that's of my daughter too, you know, of. her birthday. So, anytime I'm feeling. alone in this in this long long long. life that I'm living right now, a whole. lot I just think about my daughter and. my wife. So, anything you say? Oh, there's team you bought trying to turn.

into a profit on your forehead. Is that. what you want me to say, buddy? Is that. what you want me to start point out on. that note? >> I don't know what happened here. I got. like a spot of oil or something there. >> Who is that? Is that. >> Espanol or Burnley? >> Espanol. Senor. >> Pon's team. Hey, we talked to Ponch the. other day. English. Okay. It's tough to. understand a little bit of it, most of. it, but he loves America. >> Yeah. >> And he is a. >> I didn't even know who you were talking. about because of how you pronounced that. name.

>> His name's Ponch. Coach Ponch is talking. about the US men's national team. Former. Espanol player. You know, he played for. your program before you bought that. >> Yeah, I know. I know. I I'm well aware. I didn't I didn't know there's an N in. there. I was unaware of the N. >> This guy's punch the nickname. >> Yeah. Yeah. His friends call him Punch. I guess that kind of. >> Yeah. And to be clear, he might have. been correcting us and we couldn't. understand what he was saying. So, but. know that we are big Espanol fans. because Espanol created Punch. Punch is. going to coach the US national team to a. World Cup gold.

>> champion. Trophy. >> Super trophy. What is the trophy called, GCH? >> The World Cup. >> Of course. >> It's not even a cup. >> Of course. Of course. Of course. >> That's the best point yet. you. Well, the world's sitting inside of a cup, I. think, on the trophy. >> So, do we pick up the world then or do. we do. >> No, I thought it was hands holding a. holding the world. Yeah, it's not a cup. Why? Why? >> Actually, this is one of your smartest. things I've ever heard you say, Connor. Let's dive into this. Can we get a. photograph? >> Yeah. And there's a there has to be a.

name to this thing. There has to be a. name. >> The balloon door. >> No, that's called the world cup. >> The Golden Globe is what they called the. World Cup. >> Well, the Golden Globes are actually. out. I don't I can't drink out of that. Are cups different languages, different. things? I thought a cup had to be able. to be drank. Is there like a tiny bowl. on top of it? >> It could it could be sitting in it just. permanently. Could be a cup. >> They're not calling the trophy a cup. It's the World Cup, trophy. >> What? So, it doesn't even have a title.

>> But, but then. >> what about like. >> what does the cup mean? Like the Stanley. Cup is a cup. >> Yes. >> She call it the Ponchettinia. >> That's what I'm saying. That's what. we're That's what we're talking about. with this guy who played for Espanol and. kind of cut his teeth in Espanol. >> Such a cool trophy though. Look. I mean, that that is a badass trophy. >> Yeah, it's very How much is this one. worth? Multiple millions, I think. >> No, that's Club World Cup. This is. international. >> No. How much is that trophy worth? >> I think they spend a couple million. >> Says 20 million on the internet. >> Yeah. >> Damn. What? >> That's ridiculous. >> It's solid 18 karat gold.

>> Yeah. From my recollection, because. remember, we always get into like what's. the best trophy in sports? That always. happens in the offseason. And we talk. about Lord Stanley. We talk about the. Borg Vaughn uh the Indie 500. Obviously. Lombardi gets talked about because it's. the biggest league on earth. And then. the soccer people all come in and. they're like this isn't even a question. This is the best trophy there is. It's. like I don't know. Stanley Cup could. kind of just sit right on top of that. thing. 20 million inside of the thing. like one of those little uh toys that. the Russian dolls. >> Yeah. Like the Russian dolls. So but I.

understand when US gets this we will. like it. >> Yeah. >> Hasn't really been a reality. MLS Cup's. pretty sick. >> The original trophy used to be an actual. cup. I just looked up. >> And then who? Somebody got a hold of it. >> You know, some bureaucrats got involved. in 1974. They said, "We need to redo. this." And then they turned it into that. one. >> I don't like that. Let's talk about. football. >> We have, and I think the reason why you. came in in the jolly mood that you were. in is because we signed 44 year old. quarterback Philip Rivers. Now, we saw.

some footage yesterday of Philip Rivers. playing for the Indianapolis Colts and. you were playing for the Houston Texans. in that particular footage. Now, >> I saw that. >> Yeah, that was quite a. >> I shocked myself. Shocked myself. >> Me, too. You were on the screen and I. was like, JJ's not on that team. He had. to have been on the Arizona Cardinals by. this time. Nope. You were still on the. Houston Texans when Phil Rivers was. spinning it for the Indianapolis Colts. I'd like to remind everybody, Phil. Rivers led the Colts to the playoffs. He. was the best quarterback that we had had. post Andrew Luck. And then obviously.

Danny Dimes has surpassed him. His high. school team that he coached with his son. Gunner ran the same exact offense. That's JJ Watts piece of information to. it. So JJ, it sounded like what you were. saying, and I might be wrong here. because I don't know if this is how you. can feel about this Indianapolis Colts. team. Uh I feel like you like the. signing. I I I feel like you like that. Philip Rivers is the starting. quarterback for the Indianapolis. Football Colts. Is that accurate or. what? >> I mean, I'm a football fan. this is. awesome. Uh, as long as everything goes.

smoothly and there's no injuries or. anything that come out of it. I mean, from a pure content standpoint, from a. pure enjoyment, entertainment. standpoint, this is phenomenal. And now, thank you for pointing out my Big. Journalism here. Uh the fact that I I. mean it literally basically seems like. it came down to the fact that they need. a quarterback to play this Sunday. because it appears that Riley Leonard. may be hurt and not able to go. So they. need somebody that knows the offense and.

can execute it. And he is literally the. person that knows the offense best. And. we're going to find out if he can. execute it. He just said it himself in. his press conference. He's like the only. way you know is when you walk through. that door. So let's let's see. And I. think that's such an awesome mindset and. mentality. Now, if you're sitting there. as as the Colts and you're trying to. capitalize on a season that started. seven and one and had unbelievably high. hopes, is this where you want him to be. at this moment? No. But if everything.

was going Arai anyway, this has got to. be the hands down most fun you could. have at this point. >> I'm about sick of the most fun thing. Okay. >> Yeah. Content entertainment. >> Yeah. You hear this LIKE FOOTBALL, IS. THIS WWE, THIS GUY? WHAT DO YOU WHAT DO. YOU THINK CHRIS BALLARD'S DOING? HEY, we. need a good tweet. We need a good meme. We need to draw a little bit of juice to. this Colts team. Is that what you think. is happening here? It's a lot. >> No, I think they legitimately believe. that this is their best chance to win. this weekend. I don't I don't deny that.

that that's what they believe this is. right now. >> I'm just saying for the rest of us out. here in the world, this is fun. >> Yeah. So, you keep saying they and we're. talking about you, okay? You've caught a. lot of the Colts games this year. You. were just off the Jags game. That was. tough. That was tough for us. >> All I'm saying they're different. positions. If I went out there today and. I like I cuz this isn't something he's. been preparing for all year. Like like a. maybe I will, maybe I won't. Dude's been. out for five years and this just. happened this weekend. Like this just. happened on Sunday. Both guys went down.

So he has known maybe for three days. that he might play football for the. first time in five plus years. So, like. if you ask me today, and I I train very. regularly, but if I had to go over to. the Texans facility and like put on my. my uniform, I there's a bunch of. different muscles that could go out at. any moment at that just cuz I haven't. fully prepared. Now, you take me two or. three more years down the road, I got no.

idea what's going to happen. Thank god. quarterbacks can just stand in the. pocket and sling it. I believe his arm. is probably great, but what's it going. to be like in that pocket against the. Seahawks defense? Just short, sharp, circling, circling. >> I don't know if you like what's going to. happen. It sounds like you think there's. potential problems ahead and there's a. lot of those. Okay. And I've had to. >> This could be awesome. >> Yes, it could. >> Yes, it could. Yeah, >> what's best case scenario, Jage? What do. you think best case scenario is? Maybe. on the flip side, you can you know what.

what's the worst case scenario as well? Can you figure that out? Best case. scenario is Philip Rivers is so damn. smart that he drove that van from. wherever he lives up to Indianapolis for. the trial with the TV screen in the back. and he was studying Mike McDonald film. and Seahawks film the entire drive. He. got there and he talked to Shane Sty and. he said, "Hey, this is how we're going. to attack them. I know exactly where. their blitzes are coming from. I know. exactly what stunts they're running. Don't worry about my age or my speed cuz. I'm not going to get hit. The ball's. going to be out of my hand before they. even know what they're running on their.

own defense. I'm gonna slice him and. dice him. Get the ball in Pitman's. hands. I'm gonna chuck that ball up to. Alec Pierce. Oh, I got this weapon, Tyler Warren. Yeah, let me give it to. him. Oh, I haven't even mentioned the. number one rusher in the NFL yet, Jonathan Taylor. Let me hand it to him a. few times. I won't get hit when I hand. it to him. Boom. Boom. I got 350 yards. Jonathan Taylor has 150 yards. WE GOT. FIVE TOUCHDOWNS. WIN. >> OH, WOW. >> YES. TAKE ME THERE. >> OH, YEAH. >> Now you want the worst. Do the other one. Do the other side. >> DO THE OTHER ABOUT THAT. The other side.

>> What's the other side? We got We're, you. know, like political. >> Yeah. Keep it football-wise, but don't, you know, cuz that van crashing on the. drive up. That would be the worst case scenario. We're talking football-wise. What would. be the worst case scenario, please? >> I mean, I mean, but I mean, we. football-wise I mean, you just Daniel. Jones play happens again. >> No, we don't need that. But to both legs. >> that Carrie, see Connor led the show. saying there's a chance that one hit. both knees, both shoulders, you know, at.

44 years old, he's five years removed. He said there's a chance he gets saw in. half. And Philip Rivers knows that. >> Oh yeah. >> He's still He's still around the pads. popping. He's still He might wear a. Guardian cap. >> Yeah. >> He's the BEST HE'S LOOKED IN FIVE YEARS. >> HE NEEDS TO. He needs to. >> He just had another kid. He's got a. grandbaby. Wear a guardian cap. Protect. that brain. >> He better, bro. There's there's going to. be a lot of, you know, >> there needs to be some Vegas odds. Will. he have a neoprene sleeve anywhere on. his body? Will there be neoprene. >> copper fit? >> He's he's going to use a roll of tape on.

>> each ankle will have a roll of tape. >> I assume there will be copper fit here. >> Here, maybe probably the neck. >> The Brett Favre. >> Yeah, the fingerless gloves. >> he uses. I saw those at uh CVS the other. day. Almost pulled the trailer just. because it was a holiday. Somebody's. getting this for but maybe do that by. the way. But whole roll of tape each. ankle. I mean, he has a cast on both of. his feet whenever he goes out there. That's what I realized 5 years ago when. he was playing for us. Like he comes out. there. There's not even a thought of. those things any of this ankle.

>> So then whenever he starts moving that. that's he's a ski he's skiing. Okay. He. is we are going straight this way. So. there's potential a lot of awkward. falls. I'm thinking he should put that. guardian cap on. >> I think so. >> He's tall too. >> There's a chance he's setting a. precedent here. If he goes out there and. balls out, do you know how many retired. guys talking to their significant other? Like, man, I've always thought I could, but I wasn't sure. He just He just did. it. I'm I'm going back. I'm going back.

>> Here's this uh here's Phil Rivers quote. He had a press conference today. I'm. reading this for the first time. This a. shout out to Fox 59. I'm not here to. save the year or be a hero by you. >> We got to stink and run the crap out of. the football and play defense. >> Oh jeez. >> That's all a ploy. Yeah, right. Exactly. That's Phil Rivers. Phil Rivers know. that him and Shane said we're throwing. this thing 40 times. >> So he's letting Seattle know we're going. TO RUN THIS BALL. THAT'S WHAT HE DAG. BALL and then McDonald's like. >> he wouldn't tell us what they're going. to do, right? And then Phil Rivers going.

to be sitting at six yards. Lift that. leg up. >> That's right. >> And then he's 45 times. >> Oh boy. >> That extra yard. >> Jade. >> I'm getting more worried as we're. talking. >> Worried. Did you hear what Jade said? I. was living in that world. We We can live. in that world. That is possible. Jade, you didn't just make that up. That That. is an actual thing that could happen. What you just said. >> I mean, you guys have like the the I. mean, this is all we'll talk real now. Like Daniel Jones ran that offense in a. way where Shane Stiken dialed everything.

up and it was a progression offense. where Daniel Jones came out of the. huddle, knew where the progressions. were, 1, two, three, and where the ball. had to go and if one was covered, he. moved to two. like it is set up for. somebody to step in and as long as they. know and understand the concepts and can. deliver the football, you can do it. relatively safely back there. Now, did. it operate a ton better when Daniel. Jones could move and threaten the. defense with his legs and have the RPO. game? Absolutely. But it is not. unrealistic for somebody to stand back.

there and deliver it. They have weapons. and they have a good offensive line. They have not been good the last month. It's just a fact. But they can dial it. up and they have like just just get it. in your playmakaker's hands. Give it to. Jonathan Taylor. Get it to Tyler Warren. on these little tight end screens or. these little flat routes. Get it to. Pitman at the sticks. Downs at the. sticks and then toss it deep to block up. and toss it deep to Pierce. >> We're winning football games. And right. now I want to let you know cuz this has. happened. Maybe not so much recently,

but Colts fans do travel. I mean that is. something that Colts fans are known for. Maybe we go take over Seattle Seahawks. Stadium. You know, maybe the Colts just. go take over. Maybe. >> they're not selling their tickets for. their Super Bowl contending team. Are. you crazy? >> Well, if they are, you could get them a. Segeek for $30 less than what they're. actually uh priced at. You use code Pat. McAfee, get $30 off at Segeek. It. doesn't matter if you're a return. customer or firsttime buyer. Shout out. to Segeek, the greatest ticket buying. platform on planet Earth and the moon.

Maybe Colts fans should think about. trying to go travel up there and make. sure it's a little bit more uh copacetic. for Philip Rivers return. Make sure it's. quiet in there when he's on the field. cuz I have a funny feeling that Seattle. Seahawks fans are going to try to be. mean to Philip Rivers. >> He wants that. >> You think he doesn't want them. >> first of Philip Rivers tenure on Sunday. How many yards does it gain and how many. points does it gain? >> Play first plays play action. >> Does it get points? Does his first drive. get points? >> Absolutely not.

Seven. >> I thought you were stopping it. Absolutely there. And he finished it off. with a nine. >> I can I I'm worried about what we're. going to experience. This prime time. >> So excited. But. >> look, he's taking a knee. Look how. nimble he looks. We're not Listen. Look. at him. Boom. Put your other leg up, please. Yep. No problem. >> Super flexible. >> He was just He was on his other knee. before this video at the beginning. He. was on his shot to James Boyd. We. appreciate the coverage uh local. coverage of the Indianapolis Colts on. the beat. Also, morning show host here. in town. And I think they wake up at. like 3:00 a.m. to do a morning sports. show here in Indianapolis. I love the.

grind. I appreciate the hell out of him. James gets a lot of stuff and talks a. lot about the Colts. But at the Look, he's on the opposite either. And. >> yeah, but watch his hip flexibility. That toe drags on the ground. That toe. drags on the ground. >> He's warming up. That was on purpose. >> No braces. >> Body feels good. >> No tape. >> And also, he doesn't look like a fat ass. like everybody was kind of saying. Well, >> HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A FAT ASS. EVERYBODY was kind of saying that Phil. Rivers, he's been retired for 5 years.

We've been watching him coach football. and eat pizza. HE'S A FAT ASS. HE'S NOT. A FAT ASS. PHIL RIVERS SAID, "I don't. care what my weight is. I'll never be. able to run away from anybody anyway." I. don't know what you're talking about. That's a real answer. That's what he. actually said. Dad gamut. So, I mean, this is a good look at Phil Rivers. I'm. happy. >> I got to ask some I got to ask some. honest questions here. If you're another. quarterback in that room or you're one. of those two guys warming up next to. him, how are you not looking at yourself. like, MAN, >> A FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMER IS HERE?

YEAH, I NEED TO START learning from this. guy. >> Is that what. >> I couldn't even get a shot? >> I mean, where's Andrew Luck at? He's let. he's letting Indie down again. >> Where's Andrew Luck at? That's what I. want to know. >> Trying to save Stanford right now. >> Well, guess what? Season's over. All. right, let's talk about uh we saw Andrew. Luck giving a sideline interview um. during a game and he had to step away. because there was A PICK SIX. JD. Go JD. >> and he comes back. I just love I'm so. happy for those guys. How do you feel. about the Herbert situation with Laura?

Obviously, we're all fans of Laura. Rutlitch. We appreciate the coverage. We. understand that doing TV involves a lot. of moments of asking for people's time. in which they don't necessarily want to. give it. It is kind of a part of the gig. on the opposite end of it, especially. for the quarterback from the winning. team. How do you feel about that whole. interaction and how do you feel about. like where we are right now between. media and players? I I I think this is. the first time that we've seen any kind. of situation at all. I I mean players. being very open right before games. immediately uh right after half like it.

feels like there's been more access, more transparency, more combos, which is. what everybody wants. This feels like. the first one in a long time. What are. your thoughts on it? >> I I I agree with you. there is. significantly more than there ever has. been. Obviously with the pregame hits. and the in the pads interviews and all. these things. Um I think a lot of times. I think there are more times that that. may happen that you may not see just. because generally you don't throw down. to that interview until it's secured and. ready to roll. Um but I do think that.

when you're the face of a franchise. you're getting paid an unbelievable. amount of money. Uh it is there is that. expectation of that. Now, can it be. handled a lot differently in situations. where the PR team like there there's. generally a a way that things go after. the game where you know how that's going. to go. So, it is it is unfortunate just. kind of how it all went down and how it. looks. I think I I as I asked Evan. Washburn, our sideline reporter, who I. think does a fantastic job, his take and. it was we we we just talked through it.

all and I I think I understand both. sides of this situation here, but I do. think at the end of the day like you. have to we're this is an entertainment. business. We make so much money because. we are an entertainment and like you do. the interview. I do think he did he. ended up doing the interview. We don't. want to be like people that are out of. touch with being players. And me saying. that with you two on the screen saying. I'm a player is absurd. But like I never. want to say something in here that. players in a locker room will say this. dude forgets what he was like. This guy, you know, cuz that's like the worst.

thing that can be said about somebody I. think that gets on TV. But I think even. everybody kind of understands like. starting quarterback facing the. franchise and you say like I forget the. way you but it's almost like a. responsibility like I think it's like a. game day responsibility now at this. stage of it all. I don't know if it's. like actually written into the contract. So, I didn't necessarily love the optics. of it, but I also didn't appreciate that. Herbert probably in a lot of pain. >> for sure. >> Played not great even whenever they win. He he didn't even smile one time out. like I think he was pretty miserable.

that entire time. So, it's like do we. judge Justin Herbert completely off of. one situation? I don't think so. Because. there's a lot of people calling him like. bad. It's like I don't think I don't. think Herbert has proven to be that guy. at all. all his teammates say they love. him and everything like that, but I do. think that situation wasn't good for. Herbert. I I don't think it was. >> But it was a win though. Isn't it. different, Ty? Sorry. Isn't it different. where if it's a loss and you duck the. media, I think that's one thing where. that's a responsibility. If you lose and. you're the face of a franchise, I think. you should at least have to you should. speak to him. But after a win, I feel. like it's a little different. Justin.

Herbert just. about field after a loss. >> They wouldn't. But I'm saying when guys. duck them from the locker room or they. leave early. I think that's a. responsibility that hey, I can face it. in a bad a bad game, a loss that you. know it it sucks talking to the media. after that. >> So I maybe cuz I fall asleep so I. apologize and I catch it the day after. and I don't stick around for afterwards. bunch. That's on me. Hand up. Who. normally gets interviewed on the field. after games? Coach winning coach winning. like MVP, right? Isn't that kind of. normally the thing? Especially prime.

time games and not one:00 games is not. happening, but prime time games like. Thursday night there's like three people. that kind of go up afterwards and it's. kind of like just assumed that it's. happening. >> For Monday Night Football, is it just. assumed after the game that this is. happening? I like Laura very much. >> No, it absolutely assumed. >> Laura was told that he is definitely. doing this right by multiple people. We. would assume right as we watch this. whole thing, J, you're in it a little. bit more than me. >> That's where the assumptions can get. like like in a normal Yeah. in a the way. things ideally go, the PR person for the.

team grabs the player and says ushers. them over and says, "Hey, we've got the. Monday Night Football postgame interview. here." Puts them with the reporter. You. say, "Hey." And they say, "Hey." And. then they they get the camera sent down. to you guys and and you're good to go. That's generally how these things go. That assumption I mean, we didn't see. all that in this situation. So, I don't. know. And it is different if you're just. being tapped on the shoulder by somebody. like in a post game. You're looking for. your teammates. You're celebrating from.

your teammates. Like I will have his. back on that. Like there are a thousand. people on the field. There are. photographers. There are camera guys. There are security people. There are. people from the other team. So people. tapping you on the shoulder. You never. know. It's not like he turned around and. immediately was like, "Oh, this is the. Monday Night Football postgame. interview." which is why I have to put. that caveat because generally it's your. team's PR person. >> That's kind of to your point, Todd. >> Yeah, I kind of thought that he didn't. immediately know it was Laura Rutled and. he thought it was just maybe someone. saying like, "Hey, we can we get, you. know, can we talk to you real quick?".

Because like you said, he did end up. doing the interview. And I think the. other thing too is like not that he's. always like this surirly prick, but. we've seen the way he is with the media. kind of doing the koi like flipping. cameras up like he doesn't like dealing. with the media. He doesn't like doing. that, you know? And he ended up doing. it. And I I also didn't know cuz it. seemed like maybe they have been doing. this on Monday night, but it seemed like. they almost panicked in response to that. because then Lisa Salter had an. interview with Tony Jefferson like. immediately after. It was almost like. hey that didn't exactly go how we want. wanted to. Like let's go throw it to.

this other one and maybe kind of reset. here. >> Yeah. I mean it was a bad look but it is. a part of responsibility. I think look. we don't know what he was dealing with. what was in his system as far as to even. get to that point to play in the game. Like it it was a lot of [ __ ] going on in. addition to him not loving doing the. media as well. Defensive play to win the. game. Unbelievable play. You probably. trying to get down there and celebrate. with your teammates. Just was a lot. going on. Last thing I can remember with. a coach and our player was Ben Johnson. earlier, you know, was that halftime? >> Yeah, with the DD. >> With the DD. So, I mean it's a lot. We.

all know it's a lot of [ __ ] going on. while you're in between those lines as. soon as the game ends. That's why they. give you that cool down period, you. know, in the locker room and stuff like. that. So bad look, but um you know, everyone will move on from hopefully. forget about it. >> As they should. And Laura is a dog, so. she's not going to handle it. >> Great. >> Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. She's not going. to worry. >> And we should say like, dude, the guy. had surgery on Monday. Like that is. unreal. Like I I've played with the. broken hand before and I know how he was. putting it out there like it was fully. normal. Like stiff arming people, taking.

hits, putting on the ground. Like that. was that was impressive, dude. The whole. game you're watching, you're like, "Hang. on, this guy definitely has a broken. hand, right?" cuz he is not acting like. he has a broken hand. >> He was putting it in in between helmets. Like like that is the exact spot you. don't want your hand to be is anywhere. near a helmet. And there's multiple. times where he had his hand on top of a. helmet with another helmet potentially. coming and I'm sitting at home like no. no that's and then he like slips out at. the end or he falls. You could tell by. the end though it started to hurt. whatever it was he was wearing. >> those hand offs with his with his right.

hand. >> And then he started he started taking. the bump. he started taking the uh the. right shoulder bump as opposed to being. anywhere on his left hand. It's like he. was obviously going through a lot of. pain, but we have to remember, yeah, we. could all go along. Yeah, we could all. go along out here. And uh I would like. to know more about Herbert. I would, but. I don't think we ever will. >> No, >> he hates that [ __ ] I mean, he. >> Good for him. Good for him. >> Yeah. And his teammates love it. So like. >> Good for Laura. She stuck with it and. got the interview. Like some people. might have turned away and like, "Well, he's not going to do it." She She.

persisted and got the interview. And to. his credit, he wasn't like a super he. wasn't a prick. He wasn't being super. short. Like he answered her question. sufficiently where when you first saw. it, it's like, "Oh, he's going to give. her one word answers and then get the. hell out of here." And he didn't do that. either. >> What do we think? We think most likely. outcome. Herbert did not know that was. Laura Rutled immediately afterwards. >> That's the way I took it when I first. saw it. >> He looks down. Yeah, I'm gonna go. Can. I? And then all of a sudden it's like. >> I think he's just that guy that always.

is like I'm going to go in with my guys. I'm going I'm going to be with my guys. and he's like he doesn't care. He. doesn't like he doesn't think of what. it's supposed to be or what he's. supposed to do. He's like I'm. celebrating with my guys after a win. >> Yeah. He is not acting like a movie. character of an NFL quarterback. No. Justin Herbert does not do that at all. That is not how he operates. There are. some guys that we see like. >> although he looks like it. He certainly. looks like it. >> Handsome. The hair the whole thing. So. good. He was running this way. He had. one of these. >> back across. >> There were times where his hand looked. like Chubb's hand from Happy Gilmore.

because it wouldn't move like while he. was running. So, it was like just. staying straight. >> Get that thing in the way maybe. All. right, let's talk about some other games. that are taking place. Go ahead, con. man. >> Yeah, J, you're on Bills at Patriots. this weekend. Thank God cuz I couldn't. take any of the other crews from CBS. I'm very excited to listen to you. >> That was unbeliev There's no reason for. that. >> I'm also very excited for the other. crews to get their game. CBS has a great. slate, but I'm just glad that I get to. listen to you and Eagle. Um, what do you. expect? This is the uh first division uh.

clinching game, I think, of the season. for any division. Bills vers Patriots. If the Patriots win, they get the. division. If the Bills win, they are. still in it. I think everybody kind of. expects them to be in it no matter what. with Josh Allen, especially with what. he's doing. Uh, how do you see this game. going? And do you actually know what the. weather is? Are we going to get a sloppy. snow game or or what should we expect? I've learned that I know nothing about. weather. Even if I study the weather, I. have no idea. I'm looking forward to. whatever it brings. Sloppy is fun. We.

got some sloppiness down there in Colts. Jacksonville this weekend. Um, but this. is going to be obviously a great game. I. mean, the last one was a fantastic game. earlier this year, and we have two. bonafide MVP candidates going at it in a. division uh where the Bills, I believe. it is, they have not been swept by. division opponents since 2019 when it. was the Patriots that did it then. Um, so this is this is going to be a great. game. Obviously, Josh Allen is Superman, and when he goes into Superman mode and. he makes those plays, it is extremely.

hard to stop him. Now, the Patriots, on. the other hand, I'm I'm checking my. notes cuz I literally just did this. study about 10 minutes ago. Uh New. England has allowed the fewest plays of. 25 yards or more in the entire NFL. They've only allowed 14 of them. And you. think of Josh Allen throwing, you think. of Josh Allen running and scrambling, that's where he is at his best. And. also, that run game is insane with Cook. So, I think it's going to be an awesome. game. Vrabel has the Patriots playing. extremely well. Drake Mays playing at an. unbelievably high level. This is going. to be a phenomenal matchup at home for.

the Patriots with a hat and t-shirt on. the line. Even though I know Varel. doesn't care about hats and t-shirts, but this is going to be a good match up. Very excited we're on the call. >> Good for Vable. Have you done the. production meetings and all those. things? >> Not yet. They're Friday. Connor, what. questions you got? You got anything you. want to ask of Rabel or Drake May? >> Uh, no. I asked nothing for my supreme. commander and my quarterback on my team, but I would just like to know like what. does it feel when you save an entire. region of of a country, you know, like. he he legitimately has injected life,

both of them, into, you know, New. England. So, I just the feelings and. emotions you get when you know you saved. millions and millions of people. I'd. like to. >> So, up there in the Revolution region, we got Paul Rivere, obviously. >> Mhm. Yeah. And Paul, you know, I don't. know if you go all the way back to Paul. Like I I think you could go back to, you. know, maybe even one of the Wampa Noag. chiefs that kind of started uh the. natives back there, but I I think you. could go to Paul, I suppose. George. Washington, >> Sam Adams. >> Sam Adams. Yeah, exactly. >> Uh no, I go to JBJ either. >> Bill Russell.

>> Yeah, Bill Russell. There you go. I. think Larry Bird. >> Yeah, you go you go Larry, you go Bill, you go Bobby Y. Um, I mean those are. kind of the guys you go you could even. kind of dip to Donnie Wahberg just. because he Wallberg. >> and Mark Damon and Affleck they they're. definitely up there with duos. Um, but. as far as like truly bringing the city. back. >> Pedro Pedro Doming.

history that's the thing like. >> Boston's got a lot of people up there. Revolution Region's gone a lot on up. there, >> but none that have kind of rejuvenated. and brought a revival to a sport the way. Drake May and Mike Frael have. >> Now that I'm thinking about it with the. list we just rattled off, no way Paul. Rivere makes that list. >> Yeah. Well, the thing about Paul Rivere. at the end of the day, like he's still. got so much British in him. He's got so. much English in him, you know. He he is. a a Middle Sex County, you know, tried. and true just like myself. But but.

again, Paul Rivere still, you know, it's. it's kind of like a Columbus situation. Like, did Columbus see the land first or. did the man up top see it? You know, and. in this situation, I don't know. >> Uh well, yeah, but he found a place, then he he was lost and then he was. found. And boy, there was a lot that. happened from then till now. But shout. out to Coach Graves and Drake May. bringing the place back. >> Yeah. >> They tossed the T. >> They're tossing the T in 2025. >> Yeah. The H and the C. But never will. will I have questions for them. Um, the. coolest thing really is just like, wow,

one year for Drake May to have no. expectations. And now for the rest of. his career, it will be, hey, you better. go, you better go win that division. Go. to that Super Bowl, buddy. Good luck. >> He's got Josh Allen over there. >> Yeah, exactly. It's going to be one of. those like unbelievable division. rivalries forever. And we, as a Patriots. fan, you never had that. >> And the Buffalo Bills thought they had. it. >> Mhm. Well, don't even get me started on. the the fickle Buffalo Bills fans. Yeah, maybe ask him that, JJ. What's it like. to just take the hearts and souls out of. a city that acts like they won something.

and never even made it to a Super Bowl? That'd be cool. >> They still paying to shovel snow in. their own stadium. >> Okay. Hey, listen. That's a Dolphins. right there. >> Did you see how quickly that they. cleared the hash marks in that game? That was badass. >> Western New York special place. And have. you seen the stadium? Have you seen it. coming together? The new one. >> It looks good. >> It looks very good. And I think they. have a table outside. I think they have. like a uh giant metal table that break. back. >> like a uh one of the those bison need to. be. >> Yeah.

>> Bison. >> Don't expect it to be that. >> You learn though. You know what I'm. talking about now, don't you? We're all. on the same page. I do. >> Yeah. This is what happens here. This is. what happens when we get on. >> I mean, I It's an educational program. >> Every week. >> Nobody talks about it. Journalism, education, information, >> dookie and education every week. Well, we try to limit the dookie, but every. once in a while, you got to point that. dookie out. And uh when I was all way. and smoking, that's that song's still. going. I'm trying to run into the algos. If you could help JJ, go ahead and do. it. Just turn it down. >> The algorithm. Oh, don't worry. I'm.

pumping the algorithm. >> Yeah, just mute it. You know, just play. it on something else and just mute it so. we can seed it in the algo for the rest. of the songs to come in. You know, uh on. that note, talking about being on the. same page and dookie AQ has a question. about a dynasty. >> Yeah, the Chiefs play the Chargers this. week and with a loss, they're all but. eliminated from the playoffs pretty. much. Why are they so bad? And what is. going on in Kansas City? >> Dude, first of all, that sweatshirt is. just topnotch. I tweeted about it a. couple weeks ago. I mean, that that. piece of merch is just phenomenal. >> Still waiting on mine. Fanatics agree.

>> Um, sorry, I was mesmerized by the. shirt. Uh, >> sorry. Conor used it as a chance to take. a shot at Fanatics. >> Three weeks. Yep. >> Everyone seems to get theirs in two. days. >> Games in three days. Games in three. days. >> Sorry, J. just go ahead. >> Um, I mean the Texans defense is. unbelievable. I mean, obviously the. Chiefs have had their issues this year. just in general, but the way that the. Texans defense is playing and the way. that their Matt Burke has them humming. is just it's incredible. I don't think.

anybody at all wants to see this Texans. team and I mean the the fourth and one. decision in this last game was obviously. a very interesting one. You make it, you're a genius, you miss it, what. happens happen. Um, but even more so the. next one when they went for it on fourth. and four on their own 41 with 531 left. in all three timeouts. That was just. another one where it's like the Texans. offense just had not move the ball. literally at all in the second half and. they gave him a short field two times in. a row there. Um it was it was just.

interesting and in the past those are. those downs where you're like the Chiefs. without question get this fourth and one. here or they get this fourth and fourth. here and they figure it out and all. these one-core games this year they just. have not gotten those that they have. traditionally gotten for whatever reason. it may be and obviously they're missing. a whole bunch of old linemen and. everything but just it does seem to be. at the current moment that they don't. have that magic that they once had. Uh, let's talk about the magic though that. the Houston Texans defense has. There's.

some stats from Hembo talking about the. greatest Texans defenses in history. This year they're averaging 16 points. per game given up. All the other great. defenses in Houston's history had one. man wreaking absolute havoc all over the. place. And whenever you look at these. years, 2011, 2014, 2015, you can't help. but think about Vince Wolf we just. talked about. You can't help but think. about uh Brian Cushing. You can't help. but think about literally that you had. studs all over the place. Houston has. sneakily uh. >> Jackson.

sneakily. No. >> Yeah. Sneakily. >> Sneakily. >> has been known as like a great defensive. organization. I I I think like that is a. very real statement that you can make. Draft Mario uh Super Mario to get to. Payton. Obviously draft JJ. They spend a. lot of money on defense. Always have. this one potentially not only Texans. historic but like leaguewide historic J. and on that note they have that defense. that's unbelievable and if CJ can get. going which we all believe he can the. Texans can go on a run and maybe even.

win the AFC South and then the Colts. just signed a future first ballot hall. of famer so the Colts can win the AFC. South for sure and then there's a team. down there in Duvo. that you just had eyes on go ahead Debo. >> yeah what's your thoughts on it because. a lot of people speaking of Dookie a lot. of people were calling Trevor Lawrence. Duke Luki, but he's turned it around as. of late playing some of his best ball. Uh BTJ as well. He's turned it around. this season. What's your thoughts on. specifically that offense and Trevor. Lawrence going forward? Like, can they. be a real a real team to deal with down.

the stretch? >> Yeah, I don't think they get anywhere. near the credit that they deserve. Um I. think that just kind of probably because. of the way their season has gone and it. they didn't start out with a crazy hot. record and then continue it, but they. have found it as of late. first uh. making some big changes at their by-week. and then also having some tough. conversations after that collapse they. had in Houston where they gave up the. big fourth quarter lead and lost that. one. The thing that I've noticed by far. about the Jacksonville Jaguars now. having called them twice this year is.

that there are really no egos in that. building when it comes to let's just. figure out what it takes to win football. games. We don't care if that means. running the ball. We don't care if that. means quarterback has a wristband. doesn't have a wristband. We don't care. if that means that we draw up the most. beautiful plays of all time. If they. don't work, we're not going to run them. We're going to run whatever is best for. our offense, for our players, and that's. how we're going to win. And they've done. it. And then on the defensive side of. the ball, Anthony Campanelli, the. defensive coordinator, has done a. phenomenal job not only encouraging. incredible tackling, they do not give up.

yards after contact. They tackle really. well and they also have coverage in. these takeaways. They're taking the ball. away at an unbelievable rate. the very. first offensive play of the game for the. Colts. They ran an RPO where they. thought they had the look they wanted. They got the linebacker to pull up, but. what they didn't see was De Devin Lloyd. was purposefully dropping back into that. window. They gave this like false little. look and tricked Daniel Jones into an. interception. So, they're hitting on all. cylinders and they only continue to get. better. And Trevor Lawrence this game.

played a phenomenal game and I think. that Brian Thomas Jr. and Jacobe Myers. have only had two games together, but. you're starting to see what that unlocks. in this offense. >> Um, yeah, I understand what you're. talking about down in Jacksonville being. a good thing and uh, we were just. talking about Houston obviously being a. good thing. We got eyes now on Philip. Rivers at practice. >> Here we go. Yes. >> Anthony Calhoun from WISH TV here at. local Indianapolis. Not only is he just. talking and, you know, joshing it up. with Shane Styen a couple days after his. 44th birthday, but also play action drop.

looks good and Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think we're. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Still got it. >> Yeah. I think we're Yeah. Yeah. I think. we're a-ok. Okay. >> Okay. Look at Hey Josh, this is what I'm. thinking. I need you to go out and just. be in like seven yards instead of six. yards. That'll be a little bit better. Riley Leonard obviously getting back to. practice today with a knee. Anthony. Richardson out there obviously trying to. gather some thoughts from Philip Rivers. which I love. Obviously that was a good. sign from Anthony Richards early on this.

season. Carly Ersie obviously talking to. Shane Sty and saying I like his form, you know, I like the way he operates. I. like the way he has a leader. What are. we thinking here? Carly's actually. saying maybe we get this out quick. because Seattle's going to be bringing a. lot of pressure. Shane says that's a. good goal. We'll go ahead and work on. that. So, Philip Rivers bowling. Shout. out to Anthony Calhoun. Shout out to. Wish TV letting us get eyes on. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, every time I see that, literally, you're giving an answer. >> So funny, Connor. >> What's so funny is Riley Leonard sitting. right there. Go home, Phil. Go home. Okay, we got Let Let Riley Leonard get a.

shot. All right, guys. Guys, suited and. booted right there. Take the jersey off, Phil. Take it off. >> I thought the same thing when I saw. Riley Leonard there. I was like, I. thought Riley Leonard wasn't even going. to be practicing, but Riley Leonard's. OUT THERE. >> GO HOME. BE A PAW. DAN O SAID IT. YESTERDAY on TV, too. Hey, Riley, what. is your injury? You had to be dead. I. I'm not even reporting the injury. I get. a shot to start quarterback week 15, my. rookie year. I'm good. I walked off. I'm. good. don't nothing. So, but hey, it's.

something they know they know that we. don't know. But I do love what I'm. seeing from 17. Looks like the same guy. >> Danlovski sent me a minute 30 video here. while we've been live. I mean, who knows. what that could be. I'm sure he wants to. counter something that we've said. >> Sully tape or Wasowski perhaps. >> Oh, maybe he did break down Wizowski. Did you get to watch that? Wizowski. Uh. >> Wizowski. Wasowski. >> I did not. I did not. >> It was sick. >> I mean, I saw clips. Uh I I I I didn't I. saw the clip where it was the double the. interception fumble and that the ball.

didn't move. I don't understand this. I. I I do. Is it just the real game. happening? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yes, it's it's 10 minutes behind, but. it's obviously Smisowski and 10 minutes. >> Yeah, I was 10 minutes behind. It was. the middle of the game and I remembered. it was on because they ran like a. commercial or something and I was like, "Oh, I'm gonna go check that out." The. game was playing on es on ESPN. >> in Monstropolis. No, the game was. playing in real life. And then I go over. to this Funday one and it's it's in.

commercial and I'm like, what is this. game even on? Turns out they were like. two commercials behind, I guess. So, they were kind of having. >> they're kind of having to track it. They. were having to track it all and it was. >> how do they get to how do they decide. who gets to be Sully and Mike? >> Well, I think blue and green probably. with the Chargers score the touchdown. >> Look at this route by Mike Wazowski. >> Call that a quarter. Wasowski was on the. Eagles, right? And then Sully was on the. Chargers. Correct. Green and blue. Yep. >> Green and blue. >> But I see. So So Mike Wazowski catches.

the ball every play. It's never like a. regular player. >> No, he's hovering. He's supportive, too. He cheered on his teammates a couple. times. >> Throws it. >> Frozen every once in a while. You'll see. him playing cornerback every. on the edge. How about you set an edge? >> You see, you need to watch all the tape, okay? Cuz flying around the corner. He. had a couple sacks as well. >> New Deal, too, right after the game. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. 5 years, 580 million. Yep. >> Who got that? >> So, the Chargers, they they finally. ponyied up, paid their guy.

>> Sully got the guy that's dragging across. the ground right there. >> Yeah. 350 guaranteed, highest contract. ever. I mean, one hand is snack for the. game. So, yeah, I'd say it was worth it. >> That happened. AJ or JJ. Um, >> yeah. Now, we've had we've had some. we've had some ridiculous segments on. this show. We've talked in depth about. the bathroom and the toilet. This is. this is NEARING THAT TERRITORY. WHAT? >> EXCUSE ME. >> OH, YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. >> I DON'T THINK WE'RE THE TARGET audience. here. I don't think it's it was made for. us. >> I am Connor was certainly.

>> legit watch the whole thing. >> I was I got kids. >> Where you switched to? >> Were you Were you on what Justin Herbert. was on or what? Like what? >> Jeez. >> No, I wasn't yelling at any kids. I was. just I was just enjoying what they were. putting on the TV for. >> Yeah. >> No, I mean cuz he had a broken hand. I. mean, whenever you're taking. >> Oh, NO. I WASN'T HIGH. >> You never know. Oh, I mean, if you were. that locked into Wizowski and Sully. >> Hey, I'll tell you what, though. As you. can see on those highlights, the boys. could ball a little bit. I I don't think. I expect them to be able to do that. Wizowski had like a Squan type vibe and.

also a Jaylen vibe. It It was uh It was. an interesting win. Are they dead? >> Wasowski must have the best peripheral. vision of all time cuz he couldn't see. that ball. That ball was thrown to the. back of his head. He. >> He's a monster. >> He's got one big eye. >> He's got sonar. >> Look at his timing player. >> Look at this. You kidding me? drag his. meat on the ground. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. And he ran a 40 like he's Yeah. So, don't worry about it. Um J, what do. you think about Wasowski's team, the. Philadelphia Eagles? >> Good question. >> Um obviously at the moment it is not.

looking great. I mean, I think Lane. Johnson's importance is extremely high. >> Um this was one of the craziest plays. I've seen along this the game the game. in general may it may not have been the. most ever, but it certainly felt like. the most turnovers I have ever seen in a. game. It was just crazy. It felt like. every single possession something wild. was happening, which is a blast to. watch. As somebody who has no skin in. the game and doesn't care who wins and. loses, it was fun. >> I'll tell you what, Connor, I didn't.

think this before, but after watching. Wasowski and Sullie and then we cut. right to this highlight, that's why I. said, "What's that?" Because the other. one looks so much cleaner. >> Well, I mean, that's the thing. >> and realistic, you know? I felt like the. other one was just so much nicer. Whenever you see this felt like I'm. there, you know, like it feels like I'm. in SoFi watching it. The other one, you. know, the the actual play like that's. kind of lame now that I think about it. We need to start watching every game. maybe 10 minutes behind in Monstrosity. or wherever we were. >> Yeah, Monstropolis. And also, it's like,

oh, you wonder why there are so many. turnovers. Like, I don't see Wasowski. out there. I don't see Sully on on the. field in this version. >> Oh, because I can't detect him. >> Bingo. Yeah. And it's like, well, I. mean, is that even like Wasowski makes. that catch? >> Yep. every single time. So, I mean, I. don't know. >> J, you need to have a little bit more. respect maybe for Sully and uh Wizowski. Um, all right, Jage, we're getting the. hell out of here. Uh, because we have a. heart out here in about 2 minutes. But. we we would like you to do is kind of. give us a two-minute breakdown of the. MLS Cup and uh what the World Cup team,

the United States of America, is going. to look like as we take on Paraguay, Australia, and probably Turkey in the. World Cup as our soccer expert and. owner. Thank you, J. Floor is yours. >> I I mean I I have no idea why you think. that I would know about the MLS Cup or. >> the World Cup. I have two teams in the. Premier League and in La Liga that I am. most deeply concerned about. that I have followed along with the MLS.

Cup. No, I think it's great. Miami won, right? Messi. >> You have the photos. I see it because of. Gum. I see it. Yes, we do. I see it. because of Gum. Okay. First we have. players going to AFCON, which is the. African um championship. So that's. always tough because you're losing some. of your best players, but it is great. >> Um but I follow through Gump. Gump does. a really good job with the soccer. coverage, especially the MLS coverage. and clearly a big Inner Miami fan. Correct. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. He's a concave aod host.

Obviously, we follow along to keep up. with the soccer news. Every once in a. while, I'll do a Burnley or Espanol. update if things are going good. You. said you guys are still in the Premier. League. That's. >> Espanol's in fifth. Espananiel's in. fifth. We got GAFE this weekend. Uh. massive one. Burnley. We've been we've. been going through it a little bit at. Burnley. Uh it's been a rough stretch, but we've got Fulham rough. >> on the weekend. So, we would really like. >> We need a win. We need a win against. one. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We are uh we're on the hunt for. some points. Lights just turned off in.

my house. Not a great home, but I think. it's going to be a great. >> great game this weekend. And Espanol is. going to continue to roll. I can take 15 more seconds here if you. want. Uh it's it's a beautiful day. outside. I'm looking forward to living. life. And you know what, guys? Be a. friend. Tell a friend. Something nice. You love them all the time. Every day. Have a great day. You might change. somebody's life. Love you. >> Pretty good. >> Good remix, bro. >> Good remix all day, every day. You're.

welcome. All day, every day, all the. time. >> Never know. >> I was I I wasn't prepared for it at all. And I thought I was going to find it as. I started talking. As soon as I said the. be a friend, tell a friend, I was like, you're going down the right path. And. then it just went back to the love it. There's no love in there. There's no. love. I don't know why I. >> Maybe in your version there is though. Maybe there is. >> Love cockers all your own. >> Sometimes you want the brain to work and. it doesn't work and then it just grinds. gears. >> Does this happen in the booth every once.

in a while? You get this upset and Mr. Eagle has to go, JH, it was a three-word. flub. We got more words to say and then. get your. >> You ever uh No, like this is actually a. good question for you because you do a. show every single day which is is crazy. Some mornings you wake up and you're. like, "Oo, my brain is firing today.". Like you're ready to roll. You're hot. You're like, "Nope, no question." And. then there's mornings you wake up, you're a little foggy. You might like. grab the coffee and instead of pouring. coffee into it, you pour milk into it. You're like, "Dude, what am I here. today?" You ever catch one of those on a.

game day? Then you're like, "Hang on, I. gotta reset my whole life before I go. into this booth or I'm gonna talk some. crazy shit.". >> Yeah. >> How do you do it? Have you had those? >> No. We just. >> Oh, you're just on every day. That's. unbelievable. This guy, >> we just wake up and go, brother. >> Yeah. >> This is going to wake say I do pour milk. into the coffee mug. I'm telling myself. immediately I did that on purpose. Let's. keep it rolling. Excited to see what. comes out here later. Let's go ahead and. go for it. And we're super scripted, you. know, every day. So that helps, too. So. whenever you say like uh when you said.

you started with be a friend, tell a. friend you're starting down a good path. That's every I mean that's every that's. every sentence. That's every sentence of. every day. So yeah, we don't have we. don't have time to have fog, brother. We. don't have time. >> to have the fog. Yeah, >> dude. Bruce yesterday cracked me up. When I when you had the clip of Bruce is. struggling over here, I was dying. laughing. >> He me too. >> Two times. Two times. >> He's bent over over here. >> There's not a lot of space. I mean, there's not a lot of space. It's like. this much room over here. And I just see. his ass bent over in front of me hitting.

the [ __ ] microphone. >> Yeah, there's a lot of that. There's a. lot of. >> a lot of that. >> He's living. He had gator shoes on. yesterday. >> He had clean ass Gator shoes on. yesterday. I mean, it was. >> But we were talking about something that. was very real and I just BA's ass just. bouncing back and forth. >> It was like the top of the hour. You're. starting off with something. It might. have been Phil Rivers or something like. that, but. >> pretty big news. And then all of a. sudden, I just see this this legend's. ass over here. And I'm like, "All right,

you good? All right, we keep rolling.". And then all of a sudden, we dropped it. again. Boom. Boom. It goes down and then. he's got to do the whole process. >> He's awesome. >> Oh, it was Utah. That's what it was. It. was the Utah college thing. >> Investment area. Yeah. And we're back. Yep. You're doing great. Don't worry. about it, BA. He's He is He is one of. one. I mean, BA is one of one. It's. great to get his brain on things. So are. you, JH. We appreciate the hell out of. you, man. Hey, are you still golfing. ever or no? >> No, I I do not get to golf. I I thought.

I was going to golf so much in. retirement. It has not happened. >> So, you hate that you don't golf anymore. or would wish to golf or have you pushed. it to a later time in life? Like I have. come to the realization golf time is. later in life. >> Yes, precisely. Uh pushed it to a later. time in life. Two kids under three and a. half years old and a job. Uh just not. the time to be golfing. So, >> how many dogs you got? >> That's it. >> I have two and they do not listen to me. >> Oh, yeah. We experience that every week.

Tax had a pretty good week this week, though. It sounds like. >> tax. >> JJ killed all the squirrels in his. neighborhood. >> Yeah. Got them all. >> We We We took care of the problem. They. used some of AJ's techniques. >> Nice. >> Would you boil them or something? What'. you do? Jeez. >> That's not my thing. You know what I'm. saying? He he was like he was just took. took them all down. >> Look at AJ. Look at I didn't he said my. >> the old Sebastian Manisculo technique of.

putting antifreeze on baloney and. tossing it out in the backyard. So. smart. >> What are we doing here? >> I didn't say it. >> Everybody's quoting everybody. >> That's why I wouldn't do it. That. wouldn't do anything. >> All right. >> Tried. >> J, we appreciate you, man. >> I just thought about it. >> All right. That's JJ. AJ. >> age. You know when he says I tried the. AJ technique and then he goes, >> "Yeah, I was already talking before I. was already talking before he threw me. into the equation." So yeah, it's on me. >> Oh, so you're like the Funday thing. You're like 35 seconds behind the.

conversation cuz it sounds like you. answered immediately after he said the. word. >> Well, did you see him light up? He's. like He started lighting up like, "Oh, this dude actually really was killing. squirrels all over the place." And then. he look I stepped on him. I stepped on. him and then shut him down. and he's. like, "Ah, I can't can't go into it.". >> I do it all the time. I do it all the. time, brother. It's tough. It's tough. You got to really look in the mirror. once say, "You [ __ ] that one up, brother, and just keep him.". >> But on that note, I appreciate the fact. that Jage I appreciate that Jage. >> says there's been a game day, I guess, this year, where he woke up and he did. not feel smart at all. I do wonder what.

a psycho like JJ did in that moment. I'm. I'm assuming he found a cold tub. Yeah, I bet you there was. >> the [ __ ] out of himself. Definitely. spank his head off the wall many times. Yeah, >> you're not THIS STUPID. WAKE UP. WAKE. UP. WAKE UP. >> FIRST YEAR GETTING THIS OPPORTUNITY. IT. PUTS YOU IN A BIG BOOT. >> OH, that would be awesome. Just watching. JJ be like, "No, no, no, no. It's your. [ __ ] brain. How if my arm's sore, I. [ __ ] work it out. What do I do? What. do I do for my brain when it's not.

working?" Yeah. He's been good though. >> I'm so pumped that he Yeah, actually. >> He needs to keep doing what he's doing. cuz he's clearly just living in the. moment, you know? Like that's Tony Romo, too. Tony Romo very much lives in he's. firing from the hip. Tony Romo is doing. a lot of firing from the hip and I think. sometimes he sounds like he doesn't know. what the [ __ ] he's talking about but I. think it's because he is firing from the. hip. So I enjoy the kind of ride with. Tony Romo. I've gone full circle with. it. I loved it early then I was like I. can't do this and then I'm like actually. I respect the fact that Tony Romo goes.

in there and just is [ __ ] living. calling a football game. And I think uh. Jage has been living in the moment as. opposed to like trying to force things. and he's trying to enjoy it because I. think he does enjoy the game as much. He's a he's a good listen because. they're setting the tone the vibe for. the entire game. Those commentary. they're hanging. >> fun. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. When they have fun it makes it. much it makes it fun to watch I think. >> Yeah. We're watching the game with them. you know like hey we're watching the. game with you. So like you're in our. living room so however you kind of. you're controlling the vibes which is.

why Taro is like a vibe. Taro's. phenomenal. I think Al Michaels has. always been considered a good vibe. >> Need him tomorrow. >> Why? >> Yeah. [ __ ] us. >> Sucks. >> No, it's NFL. REMEMBER, WE'LL BE PRAYING. FOR GAMES like this, times like this, so. we can watch like that as they play like. ass, you know, like that. >> Not this one. >> Not this one. >> Falcons. >> Mike Evans. >> We've had We've had a lot worse. I feel. like. >> we have, but just the the way these two.

teams have been playing. No thanks. No. thanks. Titans Browns would have been a. gift on Thursday night. >> I agree. >> What was the number on Thanksgiving? 22. million or something. >> Oh, no. 57. >> 57. >> No, no, no. Amazon had like its highest. Thursday. 22 million. It was like the. biggest standalone Thursday night game. they've had that wasn't a holiday. >> 22.8 million people. Now you can't. compare that to the 57 million or. whatever that like a network linear. television has because obviously the. pipelines that linear television has.

into every business, every house, every. yada yada yada. And linear television is. still very much prominent which is an. interesting thing because I'm not going. to get into it. I don't want to get into. it. When I decided to license show. linear, a lot of people thought I was. stupid because linear is yesterday. It's. like well how long is yesterday going to. be today actually because we're living. in it. So, even if it is a 10 year, 20-year transition, that's still a long. [ __ ] time of linear still dominating. and still having massive amount of real. estate. So, like how long is linear. still going to crush? Feels like for the.

foreseeable future. Now, is it going to. inevitably disappear? Yes, we all can. see it. But when does that day. completely come? We don't know, especially with all these numbers that. keep coming out for what some of these. games are having. But 22.8 million. people having to go to an app to watch a. game like the amount of power. >> They had to go there. That's what it is. They had to go there, right? the amount. of power like that is an actual people. mover and then Amazon just sitting there. with 22.8 million people on their. platform at that exact time. It's like. the amount of they're already putting. ads in. They're already [ __ ] doing. the [ __ ] They're already doing the. entire thing. It's like that is a huge.

case study that the NFL is going to use. for Apple for [ __ ] 20. You don't want. 22.8 million people just to be on your. app for one thing. Like wouldn't that be. a massive success? Yes, that's what. we're all looking for. We're trying to. get events to drive people to our. platform and then all our ancillary [ __ ]. hopefully holds them on our platform. That's kind of the strategy. That's why. you see these big events on all these. streaming platforms. That's why you see. Amazon like we got them on Thursday. night. Let's keep him there. Oh, we're. going to do music afterwards. Remember. they were doing like a concert series. Titty Boy was on there. I saw him by the.

way. >> Dapped up Titty Boy twice. >> Oh, okay. >> In a very short period of time. So, it. felt like it was maybe a forced second. one. >> No, that's normal. >> Yeah. Okay. But it was a quick. interaction. He walked in. Holy [ __ ]. titty boy. It's what I said. >> We're in uh a lot of very uh. >> you know, the money in the room that we. were in is pretty high. Me and Gumpy not. really supposed to be in said room. You. know, we're kind of We don't even have a. seat actually. We're just kind of. standing in between two buffet runs, but. it was very nice to be where we are.

Sushi roller right here. K had some. great uh fried chicken and popcorn over. here. Had a little bit more. I mean, it. was a phenomenal setup. No seats. Everybody was in there already. We got. in there late. So, we're just kind of. eating awkwardly in front of everybody. talking to people though, doing our. thing. Just ordered Jack and Diet. Thank. you for that. We're at the Atlanta Hawks. game. And in this door, say about 100. people in here. 70 people in here in. this door. Holy [ __ ] Titty boy. Me and. Gumpy both hit each other like this. [ __ ] titty boy's here. He gets within.

your shot and I make sure he knows that. I know that he's there. Holy [ __ ] Titty. boy's here. And he goes, "Pat." And I. go, "Holy [ __ ] Titty Boy knows who I. am." Then he walks over, quick dap up. He has some meetings or whatever. I. said, "I want to let you know, man. I'm. different. Got me through like about two. years of good times." So, I want to let. you know I appreciate your brain. And uh. he said he watches the program. We need. to have Titty Boy on this show. >> Oh, yeah. >> We need to have him on this show ASAP. Maybe through the NBA season. >> Oh yeah. >> You hope too. Hooper.

>> Yeah. Former. >> He's still doing that most expensive. Did you ever see that show he did? It. was awesome. >> Yeah. He was smoking like gold weed. while he was doing it. That was crazy. That was crazy. what what was going on. But yes, I uh we need him to be cuz I. think he own I don't want to give away. business. I think he's part of the NBA. I think he. >> when we went to that Hawks game uh for. whatever Thursday night football game. you were doing there, they all their. merch he designed or like was a big part. of like the Peach Street stuff that they. were selling. Like it was, you know, like it it was awesome. >> Yeah. I don't know how I got to see two.

chains right there, but boy, Titty Boy, you need to know we appreciate you. around here, buddy. >> Oh yeah. Saw a lot of stars at that game. Saw a. lot of stars at that game when two. chains walked in there. He had 10 of. them on, by the way. Wasn't it was it 10. chains? I think he had on. >> Yeah, at least seven or eight. Had the. sickest Supreme uh like fur kind of. coat. It was unbelievable. >> Yeah. Hair looks so cool coming out the. back. Had a little sunglasses on. I. mean, he looked [ __ ] awesome. Uh Ben. Shelton. >> Mhm. >> Tennis player. >> Yeah. Big thumb [ __ ].

>> with Trinity. >> Yeah. >> So I met them. >> Mhm. >> He is big. Stood up. >> Like 67, isn't he? >> Yeah. So, somebody from the Hawks cuz we. know uh No, I think he's like 64. lefty, right? >> Yes. Dog, 23 years old. >> Thinking of John is ner. >> So, he walks in uh somebody with the. Hawks. It might have been Mr. [ __ ] Mr. Kunan. Uh Steve [ __ ] one of the owners. of the Hawks, we know him. Uh he's the. one that invited us into this room. He. comes up behind me and he goes, "Do you. like tennis? You do now. Ben Shelton's. walking up here." And I actually knew. who that was cuz he's young kid, right?

And I immediately thought to myself, "Oh, I think he's in like a. relationship." And I turn around, Ben, Trinity, Rodman, right there, like. within two feet. And I go, I stand up. I'm like, "What's up, dude?" Trinity, how you doing? Very nice to see you. Obviously, I hope my daughter ends up. playing on the US Nashville team. You. are so awesome. So cool. I like the way. you you guys kind of shot your shot at. each other, and you guys find love in a. uh a hopeless place. And I check Ben. real quick. I'm like, "How you doing, man? He's great. Knows the program." So, I immediately go into [ __ ] talk. Which. Which sport would I do best against you? Ping pong. Is ping pong the one that I.

could get you? He's like, I'm I'm pretty. good at ping pong. I assume I. >> say probably nothing. >> Don't do any kind no racket games. maybe. >> I told him I want 18. I want 18 though. Like if we're playing 21 I want 18. points. >> Oh. >> And he said what? So I'm going to do 10. field goals and you're going to give me. six of them and I have to make seven. And I'm like. interesting. Then you look at how. athletic he is. I started watching. highlights of this [ __ ] He. could kick a field goal. He can play. soccer. This guy is unbelievable and he.

is big and he is a dog. immediate [ __ ]. talk to me. Soon as he started talking. to me, I'm like, "Yes, love this guy.". And also Trinity [ __ ] talk as well. I'm. like, "Yes, I love what the next. generation of athletes is like." And uh. yeah, he's a beast. I I think we got. one. I think we got one in Ben for the. Future. And Trinity as well. I I think. we got uh it was cool to meet him. That. place was loaded with people is what I'm. saying. And uh what's that? What are you. >> Oh, no. Nothing. Nothing. >> What are you What are you There we. certainly got one, but. >> just a just a highlight we chose there.

But yeah, no, I I I love Shelton. I'm. I'm a big fan. >> Was it not a good highlight? >> No, it was just him played Yannik. Center, who him and Alcarez are kind of, you know, like Ben Shelton's. unbelievable, but those guys are. >> No, Ben Shelton's on his way. >> I agree. They're both younger. If if we. have any Americans who are going to win. a Grand Slam, he is he is it. But those. guys are really [ __ ] good. >> Yeah. And Ben's working his ass off. Okay. >> I know he is. I know he is. I want to. see it. >> And I saw him throw they were throwing. tennis balls, right? Was it tennis. balls, Gump? Do you remember? I think.

that because it was him. There was like. five tennis players that came out. Five. big names. >> Yeah. They were just chucking was it. tennis balls or shirts into the crowd? There was like 10 of them they brought. out. >> Oaga. She was one she came out. Uh Ben. Shelton came out. Who's some others? >> Jack Sock. >> No. >> No. Coco Golf. >> Andre. Yeah. >> No. All right. Maybe it is. >> What's him? >> Zabalanka through there. >> Nick was there. really. Oh, okay.

>> He was there. >> Was there a big event in town? Obviously, >> I don't know. It felt I don't know if it. was tennis night and then it was also um. uh black fraternity and sorority night. Uh at halftime there was a full step. show that took place. >> Oh yeah. >> I would like to say I think the Q's won. They had the most energy and they were. certainly the loudest and the Q's in the. crowd. We were sitting right next to a. group. Uh definitely the most pumped. whenever they hit the What's this? This. is the group. >> That guy. That guy on the right. >> Yeah, it is Nick right here. >> Yeah. So that was the group.

>> That was the group that was there. Ben. Shelton's on a far left. >> How tall is Sabalinka? Sabalinka. She's. tall. >> I think she's six feet. Yeah. >> Jeez. >> But I'm saying it was a who's who there. And that's kind of how the Hawks. operate. It's like our team. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Our team's going to be good. Where. you sit? Well, you can sit in this. hangout area. You can sit in this. hangout area. We got a buffet over here. We got a hangout area over here. I think. they can get 17,000 in there, but it's a. lot of open spaces and it's always like. a who's who of people just coming. Anybody that's in town just comes. through games out. Yeah, it was pretty. cool. Hawks. Thank you to Hawks for. Hospital. >> Hell yeah.

>> Food is pretty good, too. Sushi roller right there. >> Not bad. >> I gave it Domoato. >> Mhm. >> It was great. Oh, that was Mercedes. >> Same though. Same same companies. Yeah, same companies at both places. >> Great. >> All right, let's take a break. Before. that, uh I think we have to call. attention to something that is happening. tonight, I believe, at 900 p.m. Uh the. 30 for30 of Steuart Scott. Booya. a. portrait of Stuart Scott, a man who. passed away in 2015, but obviously. legacy carries on forever because of the.

enthusiasm that he had for sport, the. enthusiasm he had for life, and the. ability to make everything seemingly. sound awesome. Shout out to Steuart. Scott. Shout to ESPN for honoring him. And uh we cannot wait to watch tonight. We'll take a break, but before that, why. don't you check out the trailer for what. you can witness tonight about one of the. most important faces in the history of. sports media. Hi there. Surprise. >> Michael is butter cuz he's on a roll. >> Can I get a witness from the.

congregation? >> You can't stop authenticity. >> Booyah. >> Stuart was exactly like you saw him on. camera, off camera. He dialed it up 10%. >> Can you imagine the impact of young. black boys and girls looking at that. going, I feel seen. >> Get up, baby. >> He changed the culture. He changed. sports. We're still bringing it. I like every bridge I see here just to.

watch it burn. If you seen all the hell. I seen it make your stomach turn. I. think you know why I do what I do when I. do. started with 133 teams vying for one of. these coveted 12 spots for this 12 team. playoff and it came down to two teams in. the great state of Indiana kicking this. entire thing off.

carry that. >> The best year of college football that. it's ever had is about to have the. greatest playoffs it's ever had. And it. all starts right here in front of. touchdown Jesus and his beautiful. people. And I need to say. Irishers,

>> don't they do that all night? If you. make this kick, I will double his kick. to $500,000. I will also donate $250,000. to a charity of Chris Dy's choosing. Yeah. Let it go. >> Oh god. $750,000. The Lord is watching you.

>> 1 MILLION. AND THERE'S A BUNCH of. them. >> WE DON'T JUST BEAT TOP 25 TEAMS. WE BEAT. THE [ __ ] OUT OF YOU. >> But one thing you didn't learn from me. is talking all the [ __ ] you talk. >> Welcome to the most electrifying.

atmosphere in all of sport. I know. European soccer fans are wild. That's. like 30 to 60,000. You're about to see. all weekend 100,000 plus bananas. atmosphere. And that is one part of the. reason why college ball is so damn. great. >> Is this not a fun show? >> No. Serious football. Alabama Jones is very. serious. >> You know, he was trying to be funny, which I get it. And you know, my. daughter Kristen loves him. So that's.

kind of soothed the soul a little bit. that somebody in our family likes the. guy. >> I choose to believe. And for a touchdown, Jesus and everybody. look him down. IU GETS A MASSIVE WIN OVER NOTRE DAME. SHANE, I'm sorry. >> You're a real scumbag. >> I thought Coach Signetti coming out here. was a real disgrace to the game. He left. his players in the locker room to go get. some camera time for himself. I know a. legend like yourself would never do.

something like that. Would you? >> No. No. It's disgusting. I saw it. I. thought, "Wow, what a sad, disgusting. program." They're a by a million. Go. Irish. >> Riley Leonard and the Irish from their. own two. JEREMIAH LOVE BREAKS FREE. JEREMIAH LOVE trying to go 98. Touchdown. might be fiction for a blowout here,

We. appreciate the hell out of you. >> There he is. >> He was once wiped a 100 times. The white blood. >> Yeah. 100 times. There are actually. people out there, psychos obviously that. like the nonfrosted Pop-Tarts. Gary's. brother, one of the best football. players I've ever been around. Nonfrosted strawberry poptart.

>> I like nonfrosted Pop-Tarts. >> I like nonrosted Poptarts. >> Now, I at one point this year was the. mayor of Cocktown. You were the mayor? Mayor of Cocktown. Yeah. They voted me. in there. And this. >> How do you become the mayor of Cocktown? You just got to go around and say, "Listen, I hard [ __ ]. hard cops. I'm sorry, numerous. Whenever. we found out that there was going to be. a college football playoff game in. Columbus, Ohio, we were all jacked up to. see this Ohio State faithful be.

showcased to the entire world about how. much they love football. Then we walked. out here to this game day set this. morning and it was like Rocky, you'll always be awesome. Rock. >> Well, in that song they say it's home. Home for me is the north and the cold is. going to be the hard. GIVE ME THE OHIO. STATE BUCKEYES.

representing. >> for the Big 10. >> How cool was Sean Perkins, the Ohio. State football team for allowing us to. hang out in their facility pretty much. all day Saturday. They had five TV. setups, a bunch of recliners, Roosters. supplied some phenomenal food. DJ.

Henderson in the open field. Tion. Henderson is scoring. Another time for. the Ohio State. [ __ ] STORY of the game. thus far is Chad Kelly is going mad, dummy, bro. All of Ohio is excited. They. were singing love. from my heart. First, second, third,

scramble on the ground. Check now. >> Would hate to be a Tennessee fan or a. chair near Morgan Wall cuz they have no. hope right now. >> Well, check. By and large, these games have. absolutely stunk her. in absolute hell. >> A couple people up here with that smoky. orange face paint on that are feeling.

like real [ __ ] right now. >> As we look to the exits and the. Volunteers fans are SAYING, "GET MY ASS. BACK TO THE SOUTH. This one's over.". Bounces it, hunts it. TOUCHDOWN. Ohio State, boys. That was wide ass. open. >> 500 drones, ones that we know about. This game's over, but uh we're still. >> bringing.

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

on the line with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You pick. >> stop. Damn it. Your friend, tell a. friend something nice could change their. life. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble abode. The Thunderdome on. this watt Wednesday December 10th 2025. hour three of the program begins now.

>> FOOTBALL. >> HE'S THE GREATEST. THAT'S AJ HAWK. The. talks tables here at Boston Conor at Tai. Schmidt. 9-year NFL vet, host of. everything DB, good D, bad D, which we. will see in a matter of moments. Darius. J. Butler is here. Congratulations on a. youub. >> Thank you, man. It looks beautiful. sitting here. >> Stogies right there. >> Beautiful sitting, >> man. Team Bone and Butts just dominating. or what? >> Yeah, they're putting bones and butts. >> Man, >> bone and butts. >> Bone and butts. >> Make t-shirts, guys.

>> Don't make me say it, guys. >> I don't want to do that. I don't want to. get us cancelled. Maybe stop saying that. name. >> Okay. Well, DBlock is the name of the. team now. Okay. They put that right. there at the end. #dblock. but. >> try to get in front of it. >> Yeah, the former team bone and Butts is. their original name. Um, they lost the. first game out the gates here to me and. Foxy. There were certainly some. situations that arose in between the. next game where I was potentially asking. for maybe an exhibition game as opposed. to a contender game because me and Foxy.

for the last three months haven't been. able to really practice or work on. anything. Every single game has been a. thing against every person that's played. this game for the last three months. every single day. fighting chairs. >> So, I just wanted to work. We didn't. have as many teams around. People got. out of here whenever we started playing. So, there was only certain amount of. people there that actually play ball. So, I didn't want to just all right, we're just going to give you another. opportunity, another opportunity like, "Hey, this is a good time. Maybe work on. some stuff, you know, this is for us to. maybe change up our game, change up my. shot maybe, which I'm in the middle of a. swing change, you know, that type of. stuff." And you ball said, or Debb said,

"That's not ball." Puts his hoodie on, jacket, acts like he's going to leave. He goes, "I'm not doing that. I'm not. doing that. That's not what you ball. is." Exhibition. I mean, I thought you. were fighting champs or whatever. It's. like we fought for three months every. single person multiple times. Just. trying to do a little something, maybe. get better at the game, you know, cuz I. do enjoy the game, but you know, we're. kind of pigeonholed into being the. champs all the time. We don't get to. have as much fun as everybody else, you. know. >> Boohoo. >> Yeah, losing is much more fun. >> Well, at least you can experiment stuff. because if you get your ass beat one.

way, you can try something else. For us, I don't even think we're anywhere near. our peak. I think we haven't even got a. chance to really practice. So, I just. wanted one of those in Bone and Butts. Classic. just say, "Nope, I'm not doing. that." And I wanted to play. I want to. get a little exercise in. So, we allowed. it to happen. Had something in my eye. Had something in my right to you, AJ. >> That's tough. That's tough. >> I said all these things before the game, though. I would like it to be. >> I said all these things. >> I was mid game. Mid championship game. Bone came out hot.

>> HE PULLED UP A hammy after getting beat. >> EXACTLY. EXACTLY. >> MY RIGHT EYE. I UNDERSTAND. YEAH. You. can't see. You can't play, man. It's. tough. I'm watching in stereo here, you. know. I mean, what am I saying? >> I've seen Foxy play through and then. pull calf. I see I look. >> worthy champions. I've seen you guys. battle. I've seen you guys make walk-off. shots. Great defense. You post a. defensive highlight today before we won. >> Yeah, we're great on defense. You guys. were as well. You guys had some great. defensive stops and some great points. You got to win on both sides of the. >> So, Bone's getting in the air now. Bone. actually is getting off the ground.

>> Yes, he is. AJ I there's rumors going. around the U ball universe that New York. has not reviewed the footage of the. championship game yet. So still to be. determined. I'll just leave it at that. That's not real. >> Well Fox is the only one who talks to. New York and New York is his phone. So I. mean Foxy certainly the one that would. know. >> We kind of taken New York a little bit. out of it. They're a little more. handsoff. I I like that. >> Yeah. I mean it's good if it goes mostly. because of effort. So what happens a lot.

is Debbut makes not a lot. I don't want. to bury Bone because Bone has been. playing great Uball and he's a champion. So I don't want to bury him too much. He. has gotten better weird shooting thing. He start I mean just he's trailblazer. He has gotten very good but Debbut, you. know, on the defensive end makes like. some insane play, you know, and then he. toss it to uh Bone and Bone forgets that. he's supposed to be in the air when he. catches it. He catches it and he's like, "Oh, I'm supposed to be up and then he. goes up and dunks it." And it's like us, me and Fox were like, "That's a great. play by Debbut." Like that's an.

incredible play. So in Uball theory, good if it goes because that was maximum. effort. But the guy that actually put. the ball in is 10 toes down every time. he touches the ball. So you know it's a. >> gentleman's gay. >> Good if it goes. >> add some of my. >> I wanted to win with dignity, but it was. tough after reviewing some of the. footage from that particular game. And. uh I would like to let you know you guys. were good team. >> I'm proud of B. He he took control at. the at the end after we won the first.

round cuz usually you guys like to start. shooting and we end up being you know. the bottom of the ninth but um he was. like no no no hey no Debbuck we had to. have a had to have a little pow and then. he came out went two for three first. round. So hey all right. >> they really did. So Debbuck goes two two. or three I think in the last inning. against us to beat us. Hits a walk-off. gamewinner. Okay so he hits two out of. his three shots from the opposite free. throw line. Uh Debbone I think hit one. of them. So they had a huge final inning. to beat us. It was like big comeback,

boom, go ahead and win. And then uh now. it's a championship game and you can. either start on defense or offense and. we always start on offense shooting. because air balls are minus points. But. if you're not on defense, you haven't. acred any points yet. So you're not. really affecting yourself. It's. strategy. It's smart strategy of the. game. We have found we've been in Chance. for three months. This is how we play. So like we have found this to be our. strategy. Anytime somebody has got to a. championship game against us, they have. just basically allowed us to continue to. play with our strategy. Like, yeah,

we're going underneath. We're going to. shoot less because they think they're. going to make a lot more shots than they. are going to make tips. Defense is where. you get all your points. Tips are just. the shots are kind of like a bonus. So, Debbone and Debbut whenever they win, Debb's like, "Yep, we're going down. defense. We're going to do exactly what. uh Foxy and Pat have done for this. entire run." And I will say, >> I did not expect it out of Debo. Debo. said, "Debbut, I'm not we're not getting. into this. were shooting first. And it. was crazy to see. It was It was actually. crazy to see Bone do that. >> Padawan a Jedi.

>> And then, hey, then he [ __ ] steps up. First one. >> Splash. Debbut. Fresh off of going two. for three in the last inning. >> Splash. Bone. Splash. Debbut miss. I. think. >> bone miss. Debbut make. All of a sudden, >> we're down 81 or something. And it was. championship game. And it's like, holy. [ __ ] we're about to actually. potentially lose this. We we are maybe. going to look this is the first time. we've ever really felt that way and uh. it was admirable what you guys did. >> So new teams.

>> or we are I mean we can just keep doing. this and. >> yeah we got to figure it out. I don't. know what my U ball future looks like. >> Whoa. >> I spent a lot of time doing this when I. couldn't do anything else. You know. >> winner stay on court. Can somebody else. [ __ ] play? No. Winner's got to stay. on the court. I would like to go right. over there though for about 10 minutes. Maybe sit down for a second. Nope. Call. play [ __ ] somebody else wins the. title. All right. >> Who held the title longest? Who was it? OTC. Was it somebody else? >> Bruno San Martino. Uh held the world. title for like seven years or something.

like that. Okay. I think uh but the OTC. uh. >> Bob Ban not too far behind either. >> Eugene had a couple good uh couple good. months. >> I don't think we're talking world. championships there with Eugene. >> Eugene got one. Oh, we double check with. the miss. Eugene got one. World title. >> Did you check with Gilberg, too, just to. see? N Gilberg unfortunately didn't get. one, but Eugene did. >> Remember we had Gilberg on the RV. >> Oh yeah, >> this show is. >> How could you forget? >> You people that are watching our show. right now, thank you so much. You have.

no [ __ ] idea how terrible this thing. has been since the jump since the jump. of this show. I mean, we had done we've. done some horrendous stuff. Things that. we thought were going to be good ideas. and then just end up not being. fantastic. like the back of a box truck. We're gonna take down to Louisiana with. no air conditioning and do a show live. from that. >> Yeah, >> that was a nightmare. 135 degrees in the. back of that box truck. Go for it. All. the tech shutting down immediately. because it's too hot, turns out. So, let's go pick up some fans from CVS and.

see if that'll help. That was a good. idea. >> Yeah. On the flip side, it didn't really. have the heat wasn't great. So, we did. one in Pittsburgh and it was like minus. five in there. >> Tech was breaking there. >> Yeah, that was tough. I thought we. really changed the game though. Back of. a box truck with a studio. Just drive. >> It was cool. >> Plug it in. It had a plug on the. outside. Just plug it into a thing and. then we have full studio inside of the. back of a box truck. I really felt good. about it. It worked for us. >> Brilliant. It did work. Made it work. >> It was awesome. Made it work. >> It worked for us for a while, but there.

were some drawbacks. >> Certainly very stressful um for certain. aspects of it, but no, it did. It did. It did absolutely work. >> What do you mean stressful? You talk. about like in the back room there? >> Yeah. Like that was still when we were, you know, putting the podcast up and. there was a lot of editing involved with. it and it just like never worked ever. like or something always went wrong. And. >> how about the phone though? That was. easy to operate. >> Yeah. Yeah, the phone was certainly easy. to operate. You know, when you're trying. to kind of ride the levels and then you. got like 800 people calling in, you try. you try to put them through and for. whatever reason, you know, that doesn't.

work. So, you got to go back and, you. know, dick around with a bunch of stuff. And the the space back there was very. tight. Me, Foxy, and Zeke were kind of. sitting on each other's laps back there. as well. But. >> box truck only can be so big as the. lane. Exactly. You know, lane of a road. is really all you got. >> You forget that. >> That's really all you got is the width. of a lane is all you have. Uh yeah, we've uh taken a winding road to get to. this point. We're very thankful for. everybody that has allowed us to do this. for a living for so long. We assume you. will all stop watching. When you do. that, we will stop doing this, right?

Mhm. >> And whenever you guys do that and choose. to do that, we would like to let you. know we understand, right? >> Yeah. >> Certainly. >> Mhm. >> Yep. >> [ __ ] you, AQ. You're only here once a. week. What do you mean? What do you say? What do you. >> Why would anyone stop watching? >> No, they will. You know they will. >> Why would anyone stop watching? >> I would if I was them. But we appreciate. the fact that they allow us to do this. for a living. And uh we'll continue to. try to provide things that maybe make. the sports world better. Like for. instance, the top five performing.

offensive lines every single week when. we go in the trenches. AQ, who are the. top five O lines of week 14 of the NFL. season? >> Let's start with number five, the Green. Bay Packers. >> Green Bay Packers get a huge win against. a division rival, Chicago Bears. I love. this play. We're going to leave two to. the front side. The front side's the. right side. Endman on the line of. scrimmage is going to be the kick out. from the guard. tight end rap. WY. Look. at the block by Aaron Banks. Squeeze. through there. Plus 10. This is who.

Green Bay is, by the way. Josh Jacobs. isn't going to break it for 40, right, Ty? He's not gonna break it for 50 very. often, but he's going to give you six. He's going to give you seven. And by the. end, in the fourth quarter, he's going. to give you 10. And before you know it, they got 100 yards rushing and they pass. block their ass off. >> Jordan was awesome, too, the yesterday. >> Yeah, that is kind of big cuz like last. year it really was. They were only going. to go as far as Josh Jacobs could take. him and they still need him to be good. No question. But they are at their best. when Love can push it downfield and kind. of be aggressive. And I mean we said.

like the I think all three of the. touchdowns that he threw on Sunday. against the Bears were third and eight. or longer. So it's like that when the. explosive plays get back like that's. when they can really be at their best. >> and versus the Blitz. Keep keeping him. up. He's going to keep lighting you up. >> Uh we like the Bears defense too, right? This is a great performance against a. great defense. >> Yeah, absolutely. And Dennis Allen's. been great as Debbuts knows. I mean he. came from New Orleans. He's a legend. down there. great defensive coordinator, but he lives and dies by the blitz. And. whenever you can pick it up, Jordan Love. and the Packers did a great job.

>> Debear's one year away, two years away. >> Quarterback's got to get a little. better. >> But that's what I'm saying. Like a like. >> But will he in that system? >> He's got to take steps. >> Oh, you're saying you don't know if he. will. I I thought we all just assumed he. will because of where. >> I'm not assuming that at all. Is anyone. else? >> I think I I assume he will. >> I assume he will. >> Okay. >> You're assuming. You're not assuming. >> I'm not. >> You're saying a lot of work is going to. have to go into. >> 100%. >> Yeah. Yeah, he's going to have to get. better. >> It is also tough because like Bo Nicks. and Drake May both got exponentially. better this off season.

>> and he had a brand new offense, brand. new everything uh happening. But on that. note, Ben Johnson's offense we all just. assume is like electrifyingly good. >> and a couple other guys did too. Yeah, >> new offense. >> As a Packers fan too, like they are much. better, but like the Packers are still. very young. Like the Packers aren't. going anywhere either. And like the. Lions like I guess we'll see what. happens. But like we're talking about. the Lions being shite and they're eight. and five right now. >> And you know who else we're talking. about? >> Nine. >> who coming off for 163 yards and three.

touchdowns and no interceptions against. maybe the worst team in the NFL on. Sunday. >> He wasn't asked to do anything else like. he threw three touchdowns. He had 123.9. uh super duper fullback rating and pass. rating. >> The rating. >> Yeah, exactly. >> The one that goes over 100, >> right? pass. >> Mhm. >> What's that one go to? Cuz I saw a 130. the other day. >> 158.3. >> Holy [ __ ] What a perfect number for a. rating to go to. >> That's what we needed. We need more of. that. We need 158.3 to be the top. It's.

like when I'm with [ __ ] Gumpy. >> Hey, what's the temperature outside? And. he tells me [ __ ] Canadian weather. Right. >> And then. >> 22 Celsius. >> Yeah. What? And then he there is an. equation. >> too close to -2 Celsius right now. >> Yeah. And then we go to [ __ ] chat. GPT. How do I do this? like, "Well, actually subtract 22 from it and then. you should be able to get to it." It's. like, "Well, what if it's negative? Do I. add it or?" And it's like, "Well, that's. not accurate. Hasn't been right at all.". So, I don't want to have to do all that. Okay? So, just give me the 100 one. I. don't need the 158.3 one cuz my brain. isn't good enough to know what's [ __ ]. an A and what's a B and a C in that.

>> They also do like where a guy will go. like 19 of 32, let's say, and throw a. touchdown and his quarterback rating. will be [ __ ] and they'll be like, "It. would have been higher if he would have. just spiked the ball on every single. play.". >> Yeah. when they go like 39 or something. is when you. >> Yeah. >> like turnover worthy plays, it's all. that [ __ ] that isn't real. >> Now, I have a question. Do they say that. because um what that play actually. equates to in a QBR when you have to. spike the clock, when you have to spike. the ball, like in that situation, what a.

spike is in that particular case, the. scoring of it. Are the people just. assuming that that score would remain. the same for each play if they were to. do it on first down, second down, third. down, and fourth down for the entire. game? I don't understand. >> Does a situation matter? >> Well, when a guy throws a touchdown, that's the best possible outcome on that. play. So, how how do you grade that? Like, well, this guy was open and he had. to throw a little bit tougher of a. throw. It was a touchdown, but he. probably shouldn't have thrown it. >> We're not getting this. We hate this. >> And that's the DVOA and the DVOE where. it's like overexected, over average.

It's like normally someone who makes. this throw is an interception. So, that's technically a turnover worthy. play. They score a touchdown. But I. mean, this goes into the the whole PFF. thing where Gino Smith throws. >> Did they take the rankings off on Sunday. night? >> No, they didn't. >> They did not. >> No. >> No. And a lot of players on the Texans, especially on their offense, this might. surprise you, were ranked very, very. low. >> Hey, we got a good one for you tonight. Look at this shitty group of dudes. >> Why would they even want that? >> Their O line, I mean, their whole entire.

O line. One of the guys wasn't even. ranked. Titus Howard, >> just a dash. >> Nothing below it. And I'm assuming it's. because he plays tackle, but they've. moved him into guard. >> probably. >> So they don't even they don't even know. where to rank. >> So they don't even know what to [ __ ]. do. >> They should take the best rating that. they have for each player. This guy has. the best two steps in the history of. ball or something. Try to make him look. good as opposed to just burying these. people. >> Do the rankings change week to week? Like say you have two Sunday night. games. Could you be, you know, 25th out.

of 100 this game and then 60th the next. game? >> Later in the season, it's going to be. harder to move drastically. Obviously. early in the year when there's less. amount of reps, you can obviously move. with you. You know, this is all law of. averages, brother. It's all law of. averages. >> Core GPA. >> That's right. You're basically set right. now. I don't know if there's enough. wiggle room for you to make a big. drastic change unless you just. completely shite the bed. I guess you. can try. >> Yeah, that's how. >> you can move down I think quick. I think. it's hard to move up. >> Yeah. >> Where he is or where he is. Good luck. the rest of the way. >> Who's number four performing offensive. line coming out of week 14? Whoa.

>> The Denver Broncos. >> You like this team? It feels like this. team has been on here a couple times. >> Yeah, I do like this team. I like the. group up front and I really like this. running back. RJ Harvey's been. fantastic, but this is duo, right? They. got all the people in there. Multiple. tight ends, extra bigs, and we're just. going to run. Who are we going to find? We're going to find Quinn Miners, right? Run between that gap. Find Quinn Miners. Find McGllinchi. Find the guys that. you've paid a hundred plus million. dollars to and run between that whole. place. Look at. >> his feet. >> Uh 60 is a center. Luke Watenber. He.

just got paid. his feet here. >> Yeah. >> How good is that? >> How good is that? Look at Garrett BS on. the left left tackle. He's been paid. I. mean, this whole group's been paid. By. the way, uh it's a pretty uh good thing. to know that if you're playing the. Raiders, you're most likely going to be. on the top five offensive lines that. week. I'm just going to throw that out. there. >> Oh, the Raiders suck. >> Yeah, real bad. I mean, I'm almost. positive every single week they are on. the defensive side. >> So, Max Crosby is just getting double. triple teamed and then everybody else. stinks. He makes his plays, but they.

don't. I mean, just look at look at that. hole. You just run up the interior. Look. at that Barry. Gez, I didn't even see. that until you just mentioned that. That's incredible. >> The Barry. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 60 there at the bottom of the. screen. >> Streak in. >> That seems to be a little violent, don't. Broncos offense good enough to win a. Super Bowl? >> Yeah, they are. The crazy thing is I. think they're dogs this week. I mean, they're I mean, along with New England, they're both dogs and they're arguably. the two best teams in football. Yes. What Bo Nicks has been able to do. >> The [ __ ]. >> I really like.

>> I really like what Bo Knicks is able to. do. Did you see what he did in the. overtime? >> Yeah. We're not talking about that. We're not talking about We'll just move. on from this conversation. >> Something popped up. >> Something just popped up on the back. board here. Number three performing. offensive line at week 14 is Tennessee. Titans. I've said publicly in this. microphone. >> Hey, I try to find out who's going to. win a Super Bowl from the [ __ ] top. five performing [ __ ] offensive lines. every single [ __ ] week. And we got. the Tennessee Titans on here. >> Can they do it? >> They went against. >> NFC South. It's a juggernaut.

>> You also got to understand this is the. last week of buys. I'm pretty sure I. think there's no more buys. So all our. good teams that are on buys are back. So. the groups moving forward for the rest. of the season are going to be the really. good groups. This group, however, went. against the Cleveland Browns. >> Good defense. >> And they beat the [ __ ] out of them. They. really did. They held Miles Garrett to. one sack. They beat the [ __ ] out of him. and they ran the [ __ ] out of the ball. Well, they ran for almost 200 yards. >> against this defense. Tony, >> how are they so bad? >> I mean, it's certainly not their. offensive line. I mean, it starts with. their quarterback. He's young and they. don't have any talent on the outside,

but the running back is Tony Pard. We. all know Tony Pard. Great with the. Cowboys. Been paid to go over the Titans. and they got good players. You got. Zeitler here out in space. Look at Kevin. Zutler. Zitler's one of the best guards. in football over the last 10 years. >> There's three guys on the ground right. there. >> Let's go back real quick. Can we take a. look at Gunnar Helm, too? Let's see. 384. second level circle second level on the. linebacker rookie tight end from Texas. going and burying someone at the second. level. >> Two guys on the ground at his feet. He'll take both of those knockdowns. Feels like the Tennessee Titans. shouldn't be as ass. Is that what you're. saying? >> They have to get better at the. quarterback position and skill positions.

on the outside and running the offense. But up front they got guys. They got. first round picks across the board. They. got JC Laam. They got Kevin Zitler. They. got guys. incredible. >> I've seen Cam make throws with my own. eyes. I seen him when he played the. Colts. Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure. >> Hey, who's 7 step five? Who's the left. tackle? >> Uh JC Laam. with a little vet move in. >> Oh yeah. Little slingshot shot and then. use your body then get your body on the. other side there setting a pick. That's. beautiful. >> That is little slingshot technique. >> That Bam.

Yeah. >> Yeah. >> He was other guy's favorite uh O lineman. this past offseason. >> Tennessee Tennessee Titans offensive. line coach was Mr. Callahan. >> Yes. >> Who was a good offensive line coach, right? >> Very good. So, why do they suck? >> I mean, their scheme wasn't very good. And like, let's just call it a spade a. spade. We can sit here and say what we. want about number one overall pick, Cam. Ward. >> He's not there yet. Period. >> Well, and that's the thing. Every single. press conference was Callahan going. like, "OH, YOU WANT TO CALL THE [ __ ].

PLAYS?" SO, LIKE, CAN YOU learn that. much? So angry. >> Yeah. Can you learn that much from a guy. who doesn't know how to speak? >> He was so mad. >> Always yelling. >> So mad. I mean, Paul Koharski would just. be like, "So, what' you think about your. game plan this week?" And Callahan would. literally BE LIKE, "YOU [ __ ] COME UP. WITH IT THEN.". >> YEAH. BUT PAUL WOULD HAVE A LITTLE sauce. on. >> He would He would He always game plan in. which we lost by 30. How do we come up. with it? Like there would always be. something. He knew what he was doing. >> Yeah. >> And Callahan just couldn't help it. You. know, he was dog with carrot here. Look.

>> Yeah. I know. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO. >> I'LL TAKE THE BAIT. I'LL TAKE THE BAIT. [ __ ] YOU. >> It was tough to like him, wasn't it? It. was tough TO LIKE HIM. I'M LIKE HUGE fan. of a guy like that who comes from a. football family with a legendary like. father who's an O line coach who then. leaves his team to come coach for him. Like that guy on paper is someone that. you [ __ ] love. But then every single. press conference he had to just. eviscerate someone for asking him like a.

football question. >> Nothing sums up Brian Callahan's tenure. better than the I don't know what this. is. I don't know what the hell that What. does that say? What is that word there? What is that? This just got popped up on. the screen. The Omeon challenge in week. one plus. >> So, he's a receiver. Do you know that? He's a fifth round pick receiver for. Stanford. >> Oh, yes. Okay. I didn't know if that was. a some sort of stat. I didn't know that. was some sort of better than the stat, you know, this whole thing. So, he an. elbow doesn't equal two feet. My. interpretation of the rule was wrong. I. misspoke yesterday. I'm well aware of.

the rule. Okay. >> That I guess that is kind of what we. That is a great representation of the. entire thing. >> Yeah. >> Cam Ward though. Sounds like you're not. How about him on Caleb and Cam? >> Well, I also think. >> guys suck. >> Well, no, I don't I don't think that. I. think they have to grow and that's. that's just the that's just where we're. at with rookie quarterbacks. They have. to get better. But I also think. >> last thing on this thing is is. >> the Callahan head coach versus the. Callahan old man who's the O line coach. run two different schemes, right? Like. Bill Callahan comes from this scheme. I. think there was kind of like a a little.

bit of butdding heads based on, hey, like let's bring my dad in, great. offensive line coach, but he likes to do. this with his O line and we're running a. scheme that doesn't really necessarily. benefit what we're doing with my. players. >> So, within family or. >> Yeah. Shut the [ __ ] up, Dad. >> Every day. >> I think there's a little bit. I also. think when you have a first round when. you have the number one overall pick. choppers, >> the title is always battled. I mean they. were both they were making choppers but. it was two very different styles of. making choppers. Sad.

>> You're saying the Callahan boy and. Callahan Fodder ran different styles? >> I think it was two different styles and. I also think you try and force when you. have a number one overall pick. Hey, let's just drop back and let him throw. it 35 times a game. I don't think that's. the answer for young quarterbacks. either. >> You sure about that, son? >> Yeah. >> Oh, in front of the whole team? >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Here's my resume. >> Dad, why don't you come come outside to. the REAL QUICK? >> YOU [ __ ] DON'T EVER [ __ ]. CHALLENGE ME FOR THE [ __ ] TEAM AGAIN, OLD MAN. >> SORRY about that, guys. I won't. >> right in the hallway.

>> Walk succession. Yeah. You want to call. your dad? >> No. You want to call your [ __ ] dad? >> They need a Mikey over there. You know, that's what the Tuttles had. They had. Mikey, the other brother that really. >> had good vibes. >> That was amazing. Well, the other Kalahan brother, >> talk about a temper. >> Makes those two look like MLK. >> A unified. >> Yeah, that guy. That guy is a. hotthehead. >> The Callahan family. I guess not ne it.

was like when you know some people. describe family vacation. It's like. we're just picking up the drama and. taking it somewhere else. >> They did it. They did it to Nashville, man. They did that. It's unbelievable. I. didn't know that was the case until. right now. I thought it was a good. story. They were coming together. I. thought it was potentially becoming them. verse the Titans. Maybe the Titans were. kind of go what you're saying is maybe. the Titans saw what dad was doing or. like what dad was doing a little bit. more than what son was doing and then. the dad was saying boy I've been telling. you your whole life you need to do this. >> Just need to run the ball. Just need to. run the ball. >> Number two offensive line of week 14 is. wow.

>> the Miami Dolphins. I can't wait to see. the matchup this week. >> A lot of losing records on this top five. offensive line. >> Not for much longer. That's right. Tell. them Gumpy. This I mean this group is. fantastic. And let me tell you, fantastic. >> You see what I did there? >> I like that. >> Let me tell you, they have been so good. running the football recently. If you. watch this clip right here, start the. fullback one way. Alec Engold is as good. a fullback as there is. And Aaron. Brewer, if he is not the first team all. pro center this year, >> I quit. He is the best center in.

football, hands down. And this is why. Cuz he runs to the next level and he. runs people off the screen. Look at that. little twerk at the end. But he's the. reason their run game is going. So, the. Miami Dolphins aren't ass. >> No, they become very good and and it all. started when they fired their GM. I'm. not sure what correlation that is, but. all of a sudden they became good at that. moment. >> What was that dump? What do you think. and why? >> Chris Greer stunk. Um, also Austin. Jackson came back and we're just. sticking with the run game. McDaniel's. done with it. We're not doing the stupid. [ __ ] where we're dialing up these. dumbass plays. Just pound the rock.

Nobody can stop our run game. Going to. keep doing it Monday night in. Pittsburgh. >> All right. Whoa. >> Yeah. Let's go to one half of the Hammer. D Cowboys live in Hammer D. I didn't. know you had the number two offensive. line this week on prime time. Tone, are. you scared to death about Retro Rogers. maybe having to run into a Dynamite. Dolphin squad? >> Yeah. Yeah, super super scared um about. the Miami Dolphins coming into 18°ree. weather. Uh Steelers have won 22.

straight Monday Night Football games uh. at home and they're wearing color rush. So yeah, I'm shaking over here. You are. sh You are shaking. >> No, it's [ __ ] dolphins, dude. >> All right, let's move on to. >> Is is Achan hurt guy? >> No, he's ribs hood. >> Doesn't matter the back or front. >> Beat the [ __ ] out of the jets so bad he. could take the rest of the day off. >> Oh, >> what was that? >> His ribs hood. >> You're using it. >> Oh, my wibby's hood.

>> Is that your daughter? Are you being. your daughter right now? >> What is that? >> He's being Mason Rudolph, MAYBE. COMING IN FOR AARON Rogers for a couple. plays. >> I don't know what that means. >> I don't speak Canadian. >> Thank you, Tone. All right, let's go to. the number one performing offensive line. of week 14 of the NFL season. >> Yeah, the Los Angeles Rams, hands down, by far the best O line this week. 250. yards rushing, 280 plus yards passing. They did whatever they wanted in the. desert. Let's look at this backside.

Eric Jackson little seal block on the. backside on Darius Robinson and then. boom out the gate. Terrible fit by the. safety. But having said that. >> 48 yard touchdown run right there. >> We knew this was going to happen, right? Puka was one of the ones. Puka Power. It's a game he's calling. >> Yep. >> Who offensive line that is now. automatically showing up with whoever is. playing against the Arizona Cardinals. cuz you're seeing them. There is. starting to become a little bit of a if. I get my eyes on these things all of a. sudden I'm a little bit more impressed. This Los Angeles Rams offensive line. Super Bowl worthy. I mean, the problem. is every time I'm watching these games.

against every team in the NFC West, this. is what they're doing. >> It's not good. >> Arizona Cardinals nine and a half point. dogs this weekend uh against the Houston. Texans without both of their starting. tackles. Sports Books knows something. that we don't know, but on the Rams side. of things. They are one of the three NFC. teams that we see as representing the. NFC in the Super Bowl, that's an. accurate assessment. >> Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean, I think. their offensive line's fantastic. The. stuff they're doing in 13 personnel is. great. Their tight ends are great. Their. receivers are great. They got two-headed.

monster with the backs. Let me let me. say this. I watched Matthew Stafford. come out one for four and I'm like, "Okay, cool. We're going to have a. chance." Cardinals come out, they score. right away. It's 7 nothing. Then all of. a sudden, he throws 13 of his next 14. and just everything just starts going. >> Yeah, he went one of four. But before. that, they just ran it right down the. Cardinals throat. I mean, which is goes. to your point here about the offensive. line. All right, shout out to the top. five performing offensive line week 14. of the NFL season. Congratulations to. them. We appreciate the hell out of you. big boys moving bodies for the. betterment of ball. And now ladies and.

gentlemen, it's time to get smarter. It's time to go to the secondary. It's. time to go to some defense. It's time. for good D, bad D, everything DB beat. with DB beat Darius Butler. >> Yeah, will stay in the NFC West. You got. a rookie making waves. They got I mean a. bunch of talented guys on this defense. from the front line all the way to the. back end. Devin Witherspoon one up, but. Nick and Warari rookie, Swiss Army knife. made history in Seattle. field goal. block, sack, couple TFLs in a pick. Just. roll the highlights. This whole defense, Mike Mcdana, we talked about them. His.

defense fly around. They do a ton of. different things. They're good against. the run. They harass quarterbacks. It's. going to be a headache facing Uncle Phil. this week. We'll see what they got up. their sleeves, but this guy is an. absolute weapon. We get to the tape and. see them on the All 22. This is first. and foremost, this is the blitz, and you. try to figure out who's coming, where. they're coming from. You see the. different disguise rotating, linebackers. popping out. You pause it here. Fire. zone. Fiveman pressure and pretty much. like almost like a quarter shell on the. back end. Either.

pause. >> How do you stop that? He was the three. yards off the line of scrimmage. There. was another guy that thought he was. coming. >> I mean, it's just so good. I mean, that's what I'm saying. Every single. week with Mike McDonald, he is creating. things in pressures that we've never. seen before. >> Literally never seen. >> You can hear the. >> seen him. Thank you. >> You can hear the right here. Dmit. Thank God we're hearing something. It's. when we stop hearing things that we got. to be worried. But this defense is a. real deal. >> It's a real deal. You get better across. the face. Yep. >> Watch 48 cross annihilates two guys.

>> Yeah. If you run it back a little bit, it's just though like you have blitz. paths. You got to be disciplined in. those blitz paths. Almost like routes as. a receiver to open up. 48. He's doing. his job. 53. He's doing his job on the. edge. And you open up that lane for. three. When he gets back there, he's. going to make it count. He's going to. get him down to the ground. Big hitter. Can play in coverage. He he he gives you. so much versatility on that back end. He's unbelievable. As a rookie, you talk. about, you know, BA talks about having. your rookies ready around Thanksgiving. This guy's been a dog all season long. >> The timing of the blitz, you're born.

with it. >> Uh some guys are better. I think right. now just watching tape like Nico Dean. probably times up blitzes better than. the linebacker for Philadelphia 17. He. probably times them up better than. anybody. But it's a field thing. Uh it's. a practice thing. Walkthroughs. These. guys spend a lot of time with each other. talking about it. the the defensive. coordinator uh knowing when to call it. At this point, this was, you know, just. an allout salt. You're up a bunch of. points. You know, you're in a must pass. situation. So, that's when you're going. to get all the good [ __ ]. >> But guys are better at timing than other. guys, right? For sure. Like, that's just. a natural thing. Being able to.

understand what a cadence is, what. they're looking to do, not give it away. so much. That's why they talk about um. Hall of Fame Harrison Smith like he he. has the timing in which his disguise is. and what he does is a big thing, but. he's born with that, >> right? timing it up and and you know. acting skills too because AQ and those. guys they're looking at guys, quarterbacks they're looking at guys and. sometimes the DBs it almost doesn't. matter what they do because sometimes O. line can look at the front and they can. say okay they can only come from this. side and with this particular coverage. like uh the safety couldn't really blitz.

because two would have been completely. uncovered. So you kind of know those. different things but still when you time. it up in the offense they got to be on. the same page post snap as well. running. backs, they got to be on the same page. Sometimes they're scanning across, so. they may see something late. It only. takes one guy to be out of position. You. get a free hit at the quarterback. >> All right, let's roll. There's some more. good D. >> Hell yeah. Another one, uh Devin. Witherspoon in the slot. We all know. about him. Fantastic young quarterback. He can cover, he can blitz, he's all. over. Uh number three receiver right. here. We always talk about tips and. overthrows. And you see this play like. it looks almost like an easy catch.

because it's tipped up in the air. But. you see DBs, linebackers drop these type. of ball. I think I was talking to you. during the Packers game a couple weeks. ago. It's like, damn, if they just. caught half of these, they'll be leading. the league in interceptions. So, catching this play, being in the right. spot, Devin Witherspoon, he does the. tough tough sledding there and then. making it count in the back end. A big. third down. It was 20 to six at that. point. You know, Falcons maybe never had. a chance, but right there, that's when. that kind of avalanche just gets going. >> Thank you for showcasing how good this. defense is. So, whenever Phil Rivers. does his thing, >> Yeah. I'm just giving giving Phil some.

more film. I know he's seen all this and. and you know these coaches now these all. most of these coaches are younger than. Phil at this point. He's seen you know. where these trees started from. He's. seen you know Rex Ryan and all the old. guys and these trees. So this is this is. elementary. But I want to show I want to. make sure Phil sees it though. >> He's older than McDonald. >> What's that? >> That he's got a point there. Phil Rivers. is older than Mike McDonald. >> He's been around ball a long time, Will. So you better have to bring your best. stuff. And speaking of bringing best. stuff, we talked about Eman there. He he. had uh. >> field goal block too. >> Yeah. Like a nasty field goal block.

like red full extension off the right. hand perfectly timed. It was he didn't. block it. >> Talk about the timing of this. Yeah. Boom. >> Yeah. Like here's here's a timing. Like. you're born with this. I I don't think. this is like a thing Ed Reed had it. Ed. Reed had it. Troy Paul Malu had it. obviously you remember through the. greats of the past that were able to. just time things up perfectly. To be. able to get to a field goal operation. off the edge like without any push kind. of low kick me. >> The timing of your get off. >> Yeah. >> Has to be insane. And then the. athleticism of the bend and the grip. that you have to have outrageous. So.

they're great everywhere in Seattle. That's good. >> He's an unbelievable football player. Witherspoon, same thing. He can cover. any receiver in the league and one of. the best blitzing quarterbacks in the. National Football League as well. >> But can he cover somebody when Phil. Rivers is throwing the ball? Has he. found? >> Haven't heard anybody that can cover. Tyler Warren or tight end. >> Yeah, especially if Phil is Phil Rivers. good with tight ends. >> I don't know. He won't go in the Hall. >> Yeah. who just went in the Hall of Fame. >> Oh, he's a basketball player.

>> I think he's pretty good with tight. ends. >> We'll see. Maybe more Seattle highlights. next week. >> I doubt it. >> They could [ __ ] kill us. It looks. like. >> they could. >> But Uncle Phil could do it. All right. There's more good D. >> Yep. Another great defense. >> We got to play them. >> Yeah. We'll see. Hey, once again, just. feed and feel. More info, more intel on. these guys. Jaylen Petri, he's having it. all pro season. This may be the first. time. I'm not sure. We'll have to run. the tape. This may be the first time a. guardian cap has made an appearance on. good D, bad D, but he has been.

unbelievable. This entire defense, this. the corners on the outside, Stingley and. Lacier, they bring it. Lacader as a. quarterback, he's there. He's like a. tone setter on that defense. Bulock, the. free safety, who uh knocked the [ __ ] out. of Guju after the tip. He's been the. best free safety, deep ball safety in. the league. And then Jaylen Petri, he's. unbelievable. He can play in the slot. You see him one-on-one right here. Juju. Smith Schustster matched up with him. Undercuts, we talk about tips and. overthrows. about tipping it to yourself. and going and finishing the play. And. he's not just, you know, a ball hawk. He's got four picks this year, but he.

will take your head off as well. Just an. absolute heady player. Instinctual as. well. So the next play, you'll see the. big hit that we've seen. You'll see how. it kind of happens from the all 22 side. of things. It's like a zone coverage. So. up top there, they're like a quarters or. cover two type match. Down here, Stingley, he's going to match the tight. end one-on-one. And you're just looking. for work back there. looking for work, reading the quarterback, reading the. eyes and time, time them up, line them. up, and a big time legal physical hit. from Jaylen Petri. >> Time him up, line them up.

>> That's a great bar right there. I mean, he certainly did both of those things. >> Oh, yeah. >> And it was clean hit. >> Clean. >> And he had a guardian cap on, so he. saved 33% of the contact with Rasheed. Rice's shoulder and jaw, which is very. nice of him to do that for what the. contact could have been. Rashi, good. sell. That was Shawn Michaels. Yeah, that was a. >> I don't know if he's working this. I. don't know. It's different. >> I mean, he definitely that's a big bump. Boom. And he sell bang. And another one. I mean, that that's that's Shawn. Michaels verse Hulk Hogan. >> Yeah, exactly.

>> The type selling. I was hoping he was. okay after that whole thing. >> Whenever your shoulders are the first. thing that hit the ground, you you know, like if you run it back, like whenever. your shoulders, that's you know, what do. old coaches say, AJ? Ass over TKO or. some [ __ ] like that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That's that's a big time thump. right there. Yeah. And Rasheed Rice, by. the way, >> gets back up after this gets back up. play. Yeah. A lot of respect, a lot of. toughness. Uh, but I do appreciate that. Petri had the big hit. And I also don't. mind that people want to go over and. fight a little bit. I saw some people.

that were like, can't be fighting on. just a big hit. It's like, yeah, you. definitely can't just say, "Hey, that is. not how this is going to go." Creed. Humphrey. I think it was Creed. Uh, no, what's his name? The centered Creed. Humphrey. Creed Humphrey was over there. within like half a second like in the. guy's in his face or whatever and it's. like I don't mind that at all. And. there's people on here like this Chiefs. team can't even take a hit without. getting a fight. I'm like I actually. like that the Chiefs team is still. fighting for each other at this stage of. popularity and success and everything. like that. And he knows if you're going.

to decle somebody like that, there's. potentially going to be a little bit of. uh that's in every sport that is a. physical contest. >> And that defense feeds off of that type. of [ __ ] seeing guys lay on the ground, seeing quarterbacks slow to get up, seeing, you know, receivers or tight end. complaining to the refs about getting. held or guys being too physical. So, it's a lot of that. This team, every. week they're come, they come out and. they're trying to be the best defense to. ever line up and play the football. >> Even the small little thing, can you go. back to that video uh that we were. showing at the end? Uh we look at old. buddy pick up the ball, too, just in. case this is rule to catch and a fumble.

I want to make sure that we have. possession of the ball. Like, that's. just a that's a small little detail. right there. That ball is on the ground. Don's first thought is, I need to go. pick this ball up. We have no idea. what's going to happen under review. And. then also, you're fighting. We're not. fighting in there. It's like, you look. at every little aspect of what they're. doing. It's all good ball. Oh, yeah. Down there in Houston. That's why. they're the number one defense in the. league. And that's why they are a. problem. And that's why they are a prime. time problem because the Bluebirds are. coming out against them. >> And to your point about Creed, like in. that uh replay, I guess I didn't really. notice it. He's talking [ __ ] to the.

entire sideline. Like none of them can. do anything. So he has to whether it's. for Rasheed Rice with a big hit or him. or uh Petri Dish talking [ __ ] to the. entire sideline. It's like, hey, someone. has to at least say something to this. guy and not just get bitched around on. that. Is. >> he the hardest hitter that's wearing a. Guardian cap? I think. >> I can't think of many. >> I think most of the big hitters take. pride on the fact that they're probably. not wearing a guard. >> And I think I'm not certain. I think. he's had some concussion issues. Who's. the uh who who wears a guardian captain. in Buffalo? I think he brings a hat.

sometimes, too. Uh Taylor rap. Yeah, rap. Yeah, some of some of guys bring. it. It's a different It's different. area. Different area, guys. >> No, but I just respect the fact that. let's put the guardian cap on cuz I am. thinking about my brain. Now, with that. being said, you're supposed to be. thinking about my brain. I'm not going. to be doing that when I'm playing cuz I. am. >> flying. I mean, we're not changing our. style of play at all with I'm adding a. layer. Okay. Do your job. D. That's what. I'm expecting you to do cuz I'm going to. do my job and it's only one way and I'm. head I mean he is uh hit.

>> Jabro Peppers. >> that whole Yeah, him as well. But that. whole defense from we all know about you. know Will Anderson Jr. Denil Hunter uh. Al Shaher. he's he's he he always toes that line. when it comes to physicality. He's going. to bring it bullet and and I can't say. it enough like Lacer Kamari Lasser. number four they're corners his second. year like he he wants a lot of times. we'll see usually on in the trenches uh. cuz offenses they want to put the onus. on corners and safeties and make those. tackles on the third level like he wants.

that action whether it's blitzing. whether it's showing up in the gap he. wants that action week he actually was. asked I forget who was may maybe speak. easy I'm not sure one of the podcast at. that late night after games they asked. ask like who's who's like the first guy. you want to send off the bus on your. defense and I'm thinking he's going to. say will he's like [ __ ] me I'm about to. next I I want all these awesome. >> I love it I love that as a young player. >> I love that as well some more good D. around the league. >> oh yeah we all saw it on prime time both. of these defenses showed up uh but the. the Chargers they were unbelievable.

mentor they do they play a ton of zone. coverage they're great on third down and. they're always aware of what's going on. this is a pretty common simple route if. you run it back we used to call this a. dice route you almost look at it when. you pause it at the top where it's. almost like a five on the dice and it's. typically if you pause it go back pause. it right at the top of Jaylen Herz's. drop. Um so they're anticipating the. drop. You see that flat defender go. Dante Jackson's played a ton of ball. Boom. So pretty much like a five on the. dice, right? Dice route. Dante Jackson.

is great and Dan O said it was on. Devonte Smith because he slipped. I. don't care if he slipped or not. Jackson. is all over. Put his foot in the ground. He's been playing great football this. year. Reading the quarterback foot in. the ground. Boom. gets in front of the. uh wide receiver, makes a big time play, and it started pre- snap. You can see. Derwin James as his uh safety. He makes. communication as soon as he's coming. over. Hey, whatever that communication, not only to the corner, but to the. linebacker as well. Everyone's on the. same page. Everyone's covered in big. time play. But it is a once again, this. is week what 14 of this game. It's a.

this is like a day one training camp. route. Like curl flat, coffee. I mean, this is high school, college, like. >> about to pick no matter what, whether he. falls or not. I think he jumped that. summer. >> Great break. foot in the ground. Unbelievable confidence in what was. coming. Big time play. So, I know people. will look and say, "Hey, this one wasn't. on Herz." It is on Herz. It's on. Devonte. And it's a great play by Dante. Jackson. >> Hell yeah. We appreciate the hell out of. all the great defenses thumping this. year. Feels like it's a physicality. group. Yeah. >> What defense will be able to lead their. team to a Super Bowl? That's a.

conversation we haven't had in a long. time. Feels like it's a real one this. year. Congrats to all the good D on. everything DB. >> Got one more. >> Oh, really? >> The game winner. >> Oh, yeah. >> The game winner. And it stays with the. Chargers. It stays with the guy Yep. with the guy who was on here last week, Tony Jefferson, who one of your former. teammates, right, AQ? >> That's right. >> And he took took a couple years off, I. want to say. Not as many as. >> two years. Two years off. >> Yeah. So two years off. You you never. see that at. >> Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Two years. >> Two years. Had a m ACL. Then he took a. couple years off and he came years off.

Maybe not. That helps more. >> Came back and making uh making big time. plays. We saw him last week against the. Raiders running to the ball, talking. about tips and overthrows. And this is. him running to the ball again. Right. here, it starts with Cam Hart though. Cover two. Going to get Jaylen Herz. sprinting out. You kind of have a flat. seven route. So, he's reading this. underneath defender. He's reading Hart. If he takes the low, I throw the high. one. If he sinks back and take the high, he throws the low. This is first down. You throw the ball away in my opinion. Overtime, you have an opportunity to win. the game. Jaylen Herz with Khil Mack in.

his face unblocked. He tries to force. the throw. Cam Hart does a great job. diving in, getting in the window, tapping it up, and then Tony Jefferson. backto back weeks does a great job on. the sideline coming down with in this uh. situation a gamewinning interception. >> Men are going to get a job somewhere. Decorder. >> Yeah. And Harbaugh has kind of been. saying that from from day one and he's. he won a national championship in. Michigan. He's unbelievable. Harbaugh. got the job, brought them here with LA. They had a good defense last year. Great. defense. I think again this year I think.

they have a championship level defense. just going to be about can the O line. hold up. >> That's great D, baby. >> Hell yeah. >> It's great, Trenches. And we got a great. fight coming up. Listen, there's a fight. about to happen that I think everybody. on earth will be surprised when it. happens and certainly loud whatever the. outcome is. There's a man who was once, you know, a child actor, then he turned. into an influencer, then he became an. empire, a mogul, then he became a. professional boxer. And all he's done. throughout the entirety of it is try to.

do good for the sport, try to raise some. awareness, and try to become a [ __ ]. world champion. Ladies and gentlemen, he. has a chance to fight one. Anthony. Joshua will be his opponent. And uh this. is the biggest, strongest, most talented. guy that he's ever been scheduled to. fight. That'll be happening on Friday, December 19th. It's being called. Judgment Day. And I believe it will be. Judgement Day for the legend, ladies and. gentlemen, Elgo Jake Paul. >> Y. >> thank you for having me. Dude, thank you. for joining us. Uh, can I congrats on.

everything, dude? Oh, >> yeah. >> Your your venture capital. >> and you as well, Pat, and you as well. You guys are always crushing it, man. It's really cool to see all the growth. and all the things you guys are doing. So, congrats to you as well. >> Very cool of you to say. We appreciate. that. Obviously, we got a chance to. watch you lay a blueprint for a digital. career and now everything that you've. kind of changed and grown into is. awesome. All the while being a. professional boxer. I would like to talk. about your investment fund uh because I. think you're one of the earlier uh. investors in Poly Market which is now. valued at like I think 8 billion 9.

billion some other things. So. congratulations on [ __ ] everything. Jake Paul. You're not just some [ __ ]. influencer you know what I mean? I I we. know that. >> Yeah. No sometimes I play that role for. entertainment purposes and um you know I. can do a little bit of everything. So, I. can be the heel, the villain. I could be. a jackass. I could [ __ ] talk. I could be. investor, businessman, CEO, boxer, whatever it is. Um, you know the drill. The the current state of modern. entertainment, you got to do it all. You. got to play across the board and be good. at all these things. But, you know, I've.

been in this game for, man, 12, 13 years. now. and um seen a lot of people fall by. the wayside, but me and my brother have. just worked hard and and been super. calculated and know what we're doing in. this space. >> I think the work ethic is obviously. absurd and you guys are a couple Ohio. [ __ ] at your core, so we have massive. respect for that. But obviously talent. and having to understand where the world. is going is a forethought that not a lot. of people have in history. You're a. trailblazer, you know that. Now, let's. get to your boxing career. Uh you've.

been very, very, very upfront about how. you want to be a world champion. World. champion. You focused your entire life. to boxing. It seems we've seen you in. other eras and chapters of your life. where you were doing a lot of things. Then you turned your focus fully to. boxing. You said boxing saved your life. You fell in love with it. Now you're. taking on a guy who has done the same. thing with boxing for most of his life. He has loved it. He has invested in it. He has fought the greats. He's been in. the biggest fights. He's been champion. Uh I think a lot of us were very. surprised that this would be happening. How do you feel just a few days out? And.

what went into the decision to [ __ ]. fight Anthony Joshua? >> Yeah, look, to me, I see a lot of paths. to victory in his style and styles make. fights. We all know that he's lost to. guys who are shorter mostly and lighter. mostly um and faster than him. I see. holes in his game. I see punches that I. can land that can hurt him. Now, he can. definitely land punches on me, knock me. out. He's more experienced, Olympic gold.

medalist, two-time heavyweight champion. of the world. This is definitely insane. I have to fight a perfect fight to be. able to beat this guy, but I think that. I'm capable of that. And to me, at the. end of the day, all of this is. experience. All of this is fun. All of. this is getting in there and continuing. to improve my skills as I work toward a. world championship in my own weight. class. I'm fighting at heavyweight. >> Oh, we lost them. They're trying to. They're trying to bulg him down. >> At the end of the day, I'm going in.

there and I'm getting better. >> You're fighting at heavyweight. You cut. off real quickly whenever you said. you're fighting at heavyweight. How much. weight is that more? How much heavier. are you fighting at this for this. particular fight? >> Yes, I'm I'm fighting like 50 lbs out of. my weight class. Normally, I fight at. 200. Anthony Joshua will be around 250. >> Okay, so this fight's happening. There's. people there's people that have. mentioned like there's no way this fight. is actually happening just strictly. because of what you just said right. there. I I mean the weight difference.

everything else signing up for this. because you're supposed to fight. somebody else tank backs out now you. fight Anthony Joshua. I think there's a. lot of people that think this is all. some gimmick because of what you just. said right there. This is not the case. You understand that you're going in. there with a man who's not supposed to. fight somebody that is at your weight. He's supposed to be fighting heavier. people that are bigger people which in. theory stronger people maybe more. durable people. There's weight classes. for a reason. In your mind, that is. just, hey, I need to this a challenge I. need to take on. That's kind of the. mindset that you've taken. >> Yeah, for sure. You know, the fight is.

definitely happening first and foremost. Um, we're nine days away right now, but. at the end of the day, I like fighting. bigger guys. I was going in to fight. Javvante Davis and sparring against the. tiny guys. They're like flies moving. around the ring. now have reversed roles. and I'm the lighter, faster guy. And to. me, that's something that I like. I can. move around the ring, outbox them, out. maneuver them, land shots with my speed. And I believe that Joshua is very, very.

tough. Very, very tough. But I see the. shot that can knock him out. And I'm. going to test his chin. And this could. potentially be the biggest upset in, you. know, the one of the h in the history of. boxing, let alone sports as someone said. the other day. Um, it's right up there. with, you know, Buster Douglas, Mike. Tyson, and I'm going to pull it off. >> [ __ ] yeah, Jake. Good luck out there, dude. AJ has a question for you. >> Yeah, Jake, how do you see this how do. you see this fight ending? Is it going. to end in a knockout one way or the. other? Is that what you you have.

planned? You think Anthony Joshua feels. the same way? I don't think he can knock me out. because he's not going to be able to. line up his shots properly to be able to. land the hard punch. Um I think it's. going to be a very tough fight for. multiple rounds. Um but then when I. figure out his pacing, his style, his. speed, his footwork, he's going to get, you know, a little bit tired trying to. chase me around and then I'm going to. set up the the shot. I'm not going to. say exactly what, but I see see what it.

is. And um I think it'll end in the. fifth or sixth round. >> I love that you see the shot. I assume. uh not assume I know that you're filming. yourself work said shot so that we can. have said moment in recap video of the. to the real moment happening. And uh, okay Jake, I think you have to have that. mindset going into a fight with somebody. cuz you can't play boxing obviously, but. whenever you have that type of. forethought and that type of vision and. work and then it all comes to fruition. on the other side. Talk about.

fulfillment in what your decisions are. in your life. Excited to see it. Now, speaking of decisions, a lot had to be. made, I assume, fighting somebody 50. pounds heavier. Go ahead. >> Yeah, obviously a huge change in. opponents going from uh Tank to Anthony. Joshua. So, what was there a big change. in training outside of changing the. sparring partners? Like a diet, maybe. doing something to get a little. stronger, obviously going to knock a big. dude out. Any any big major changes in. this training camp? >> Yeah, we definitely focused a lot more. on the strength workouts and lifting. heavier weights. I started to eat a bit.

more, but I didn't want to bulk up too. much. the the speed is going to be the. key here. But we brought in world. champion heavyweight sparring partners, guys who are 270 pounds, 250 pounds, you. know, sparring them, you know, has been. insane. I still got the remnants of. >> Yeah, I see you taking a little shot. there. I like that you're taking those. shots though. Have to eat them. Have to. eat them. >> Yeah. And and look, that's what it's all. about. You know, preparing for the. night. My coaches are some of the best. in the world and they tell me, "Look, we.

believe that the sparring you're doing. right now is going to be harder than the. actual fight night." They don't lie to. me. I trust in my coaches and I also. believe that as well. >> Big shots, any of them that land. obviously with the heavyweight is. potential end of fight, which is why. heavyweight fights are always the one. that everybody is kind of looking. forward to. You fighting at heavyweight. is [ __ ] hilarious. Jake, you need to. know from outside looking in. It is a. hilarious concept that you're doing, especially whenever you guys at the face. off. It's like this dude is going to.

because you don't have to do this. This. guy does not have to do this. And I. don't want to reiterate this to you as. like somebody who's watching from the. outside and I know you a little bit. I. think at this stage Jake Paul does not. have to do this. Like I just said, he. has an investment in poly market. The. thing is worth one of the a series A. investor in a poly market. Things worth. 9 billion now. Okay. All the different. business ventures. This guy's had seven. houses in Puerto Rico. This [ __ ] GUY. LIKE DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. IT'S all. for love of sport, right? That's kind of. what it is. Love of sport that you found. for boxing.

>> Yeah. No, that. >> Oh, no. >> back. >> Using me as a vessel to inspire the next. generation of kids going from zero to. the top of a sport in 5 years. Right. If. this fight was a couple months ago, there would be a heavyweight belt on the. line. And when I beat Joshua, I would. technically be the heavyweight champion. of the world. This is a simulation of. some sorts. But I truly believe that I'm. I'm here um to show kids what's. possible. Then that's always been my.

mission since I've started and is to. inspire the the next generation and. create one of the best sports stories of. all time. Like I said, not doing. something and then rising to the top of. it in such a short amount of time should. inspire anyone to take action today and. chase their dreams because in 5 years, 6. years, 7 years, you can rise to the top. of uh industry if you're fully dedicated. and I believe that's what my story will. show in documentary one day. >> Cannot wait to watch it all. Uh you. broke your nose. Is this new? I'm seeing.

your nose. Your nose is is that from the. same. >> more crooked, brother. I'm not going to. lie. the the sparring the heavyweights. My nose has moved a couple millimeters. to this camp. A guy by the name of Frank. Sanchez, he definitely cracked it a. little bit, so it definitely has slight. little something in there. Uh but yeah, man, it's bad. >> Frankie, wait, hold on. Look at that, dude. >> Yeah. >> I'm like Squidward, dog.

>> Hey, Frankie Sanchez, they talk about. him. He's got that, you know. He's which. one is uh is he one of these guys? >> He's the one um right next to me on the. left. >> Those are gigantic dudes. You once again. JAKE PAUL DOES NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. That. that is the uh the entire angle that I. think kind of gets missed. And on that. note, Ty has a question for you. >> Yeah, Jake, when it comes to this fight, it seems like people either in like. boxing media or like combat media, they've only criticized it just because. of like, hey, this this is what could.

happen. And and I feel like you're. you're no stranger to that. that's been. every single one of your fights, whether. it's Nate Robinson or whoever, it's oh, he's just fighting this guy so he can. knock him out. But on the flip side, like, has anyone commended you for. taking this fight? Obviously, it's a. massive risk. And it's like, this isn't. just some sideeshow. This is a guy who's. putting a lot on the line here to face. someone who's a former world champion. Like, has anyone reached out to you and. said that or do you not give a [ __ ]. about any of that anyway? >> No. But yeah, there's been tons of. support and love and respect and people.

saying like, "Wow, like I don't even. know if I like Jake Paul." Conor. McGregor being like, "Uh, I don't know. about him, but if he makes that fight, I. have to respect him." Joe Rogan, the. list goes on and on about the amounts of. people supporting it and saying, "Geez, if he goes in there, we all just have to. show some respect." Um, but don't. respect me for getting in there. Respect. me when I beat his ass. That's that's. what I've said to people is like, I'm. not just going in there. I'm not just. walking in to a fight. I'm going to win.

and that's what's going to shock the. world. I will become the king of boxing. and own the whole entire sport come. December 19th. >> Okay, let's talk about owning the entire. sport. We had Nick Khan on uh what was. that last week talking about uh the. Muhammad Ali Evolution or Revival. Revival Act or something like that to be. able for the new TKO promotion that is. going to be running in boxing launching. in January on Paramount. I think you. were in support of potentially the. change potentially to the Muhammad Ali.

act to maybe have your own promotion as. well. Have you thought that much? Can. you do a lot of thinking about the. future of boxing while training for a. fight or is that constantly happening. for you? And what is your thoughts on. all of that and the kind of the state of. boxing right now? >> Yeah. No, I mean at the at the end of. the day, I think the Muhammad Ali Act is. good. I think it needs to stay in place. if it goes away. Most valuable. promotions in our company, we always. treat fighters fairly so people can have. a home there. I worry about it going.

away and other promoters in the game. because boxing is a shady business and a. lot of boxers aren't, you know, business. savvy and knowing what's going on. So, I. believe that it it should stay. Um, and that's that's my take on it. But. the future of boxing, we're in a great. place. And I think it's, you know, we're. moving into, I guess, the streaming era. of boxing, which I believe can bring in. more fans. You know, being the first to.

bring fights to Netflix where it becomes. more accessible. Obviously, the deal. with Paramount, more fans are going to. be able to watch. And that's what the. sport needs. And we need, you know, all. the hype we can get so that the next. generation of fighters go into the gym. and we create future superstars, uh, that we'll see 10 to 15 years from now. as they climb through the ranks and. start fighting in the Olympics. So, that's what it's all about, and I think. boxing's in a great place. >> All right. Well, we appreciate the hell. out of you for committing to the sport, loving the sport, and putting on massive. spectacles for the sport. Cannot wait to.

see you go in there against Goliath, brother. That's B. That's Judgment Day. is a great name. I I mean, it is a great. name. Anything could happen. And uh I. want to let you know, proud of you, dude. This is a cool thing. Good luck in. there. >> Thank you guys. Thank you for having me. I'll see y'all. Keep crushing. >> You too, dude. And tell Frankie to. [ __ ] relax. We got to fight some. >> pull punches. We need to kind of Yeah, honestly. All right, ladies and. gentlemen, Jake Paul, we appreciate. >> Hey, Jake.

>> Frankie Sanchez caught him with one. >> Yeah, massive deuce is big as [ __ ] This. >> series A in Bowling Market. >> Yeah. Holy [ __ ]. >> Yeah, he doesn't have to be getting. punched by Sanchez. >> Yeah, like there's uh especially with. where that's headed. >> Yeah, what a weapon. >> Can we put the picture back up of who. he's training with? >> Left. >> just oxes. >> We got to get to a new We got to get to. a new. >> I mean AJ's basically a good photo. It's. basically AJ. You can probably. >> look how big those dudes are.

>> Like Julius Pepper's always to the left. >> Yeah, >> it is. >> Oh [ __ ] down there. John Marman's on. the right. Yeah. >> I mean, what the [ __ ] dude? There. there's weight classes for a reason, you. know? Like there there is a. >> It's insane. >> Wow. >> Looks like Dominican Sue. >> pop up. >> on the far. >> Look at Anthony Joshua, man. Anthony. Joshua is one of the scariest dudes on. the planet. >> I will say guy on right actually kind of. looks like Jason Pierre Paul who is. back. >> Congrats to JP. >> Hell yeah. >> Super champ. >> Super champ's back. Phil Rivers is back.

>> Man, starting to feel good, isn't it? >> Oh yeah. Boxing's back. >> I didn't want to distract Jake with any. more uh ventures, but I think he should. Oculus boxing has a lot of upside. >> Get in there. >> I think it has a lot of upside. It's. great workout. It's a great workout. Chuck Bon almost died. >> That was the lowest level, easiest guy. >> I mean, it's the this time of season, too, where like things like that get. gifted to older people and then videos. will come out of those older people.

testing them. >> Yeah. Yeah, >> it's very it's a very good space forward. into. >> that's kind of falling off, right? I I. think I saw headline something about. Zuck has admitted defeat in. >> these metaverse or whatever. >> 81 billion or something like that. I. think. >> 87. >> 87. >> that was the the property people bought. Where's that? >> You know. >> that's still very lucrative. >> Yeah. Store it away for a little wait a. year for go back up. >> for the metaverse. I mean, people were getting mortgages.

out to buy property. >> $500,000. >> in a fake place next to somebody else. >> It's like how what? >> Not just somebody else. >> Snoop Dog, baby. >> Boom. >> I think I forget who it was. You could. potentially live next to. >> Katie Perry. Guy Ferry. >> hang out. >> Well, you go in there, you put your. things on, and then you get on that. little uh treadmill. You walk out of the. front. >> door. Ready Player One, basically. And. then you turn to your right and it's. like with Snoop every morning. Okay.

Which is sick. >> And you turn left and Katy Perry's up. there with Mr. Budro. Uh. >> the Justin hero. So sorry. Sorry. The previous leader of. Canada. She's able to walk. And then. Zuck's just out there doing rolling in. the jiu-jitsu. >> Yep. >> That's what I think they were selling. That's what people thought they were. buying. >> Oh yeah. >> The. >> I'm not going to talk about it. It just. goes to what you were just talking about. last hour about the fall of linear. television. These things are coming, but. everyone thinks it's like tomorrow.

That's just not a reality. Humans. >> So, are you saying hold on to your. property in the middle? >> I'm saying if you think you're going to. be alive in a hundred years, I'd hold. on. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Pass it down to. >> There you go. Exactly. >> Buy more. I would say for No, don't. But. I'd say. >> for anyone already in there. >> No, just hold. >> Hold for your great sell. You're getting. zero. So maybe in 50 years, 20 years, you have a chance to sell it for. something. But what is it that you have?

>> Maybe nothing at all. And Neil won't. tell the story, but maybe we will try. someday. Boy, there was a lot of things. that people try to get us to do business. with. >> Was it NFTs? They're trying to get you. to do. >> NBA Top Shot you talking about? We. actually. >> Oh, yeah. That was amazing. You opened a. pack on air. >> Yeah. Which is just kind of. >> You became a billionaire, I thought. >> Well, if Zion can figure out this whole. injury thing, there's a chance I can. He. will. >> There was coins. >> Oh yeah. >> Big coin run. People were trying to get. us to sell coins. >> Yeah. Still going. >> Yeah. The the top NFT thing was.

happening. This thing was a thing that. people were trying to get us into. It's. like. >> it's it's good how dumb I am. Where I'm. like, I don't get it. That doesn't sound. real. No, it's a meta universe. You have. property in there. You start selling. property within the meta universe. I'm. like, what the [ __ ] am I What is What is. it? It's just It's a space in there. You. You want to have space in there. So then. you can subleasase your space and then. your space can be gatherings for your. fans. Whatever the case, we'd like to. pay you this amount of money to. potentially put your name on some space. in this thing. And it's like that's a. lot of money, but I don't [ __ ] know.

what that is. I I don't I don't. >> There could be unlimited space, right? Couldn't they just. >> Oh, yeah. Create more. >> And that's why I said to the NFT guy, I. was like, "This looks like a gift. Can I. get the gift of this thing or. >> Oh, no. You own the You own it." They. would say. >> the NFT thing is going to be. fascinating. There will be documentaries. coming out within the next couple years. and I don't know this for a fact. I'm. just assuming just about that business. as a whole because people became. billionaires off these NFTts and artists. for one thing. Sure. But like those ape.

cards, the scared ape cards, that was. one of the biggest ones. And now. >> Boarde Ape board ape. Yeah. And now th. those were selling for you know tens of. thousands, hundreds of thousands of. dollars and now they're worth pennies on. the dollar. So like the documentary. around that just that one as a thing let. alone NFTs at a as a whole will be. fascinating just because I am interested. in the entire arc of it. How did it get. that big? Why did it become that big? And then why the [ __ ] did it fall off if.

it was that big in the first place? And. then there are people with billion. billions of dollars hundreds of millions. of dollars who made money off of these. things and that money just doesn't. disappear. So like how how did they make. that money and then what did they come. >> about and not only them then then you. can just move that radar because NFT I. guess coins all these coins that people. were selling. Yes. >> I think those are considered NFTs as. well but they were selling a bunch of. those coins. We got pitched a coin in a. couple million dollars. Hey here's a. couple million dollars. All you got to. do is sell this coin. Like what the [ __ ]. is the coin?

>> It's a good thing you want to have it. I'm like is it it's named after me? Well. your show. Yeah. It's like it's not that. good of a thing then if I had to guess. Who makes its value? Well, there's only. a certain amount of them. Yeah, but what. do they do? >> Nothing. >> There's only a few of them. >> Can I buy anything with it? Well, you we. could potentially try to get it access. to be able to pay for something, but. other than that, it's just you have the. ownership of something that is not very. big. That sounds fake to me. Well, but four.

or five million bucks, right? You sleep. for this. It's like, no, I don't [ __ ]. know what that is. I would like one of. these coins if I would like it and I. don't want this thing so I'm not going. to do it. It's there was a run there of. people taking advantage of [ __ ]. >> Oh yeah. Happened this year to people. that we know on the internet. Not that. we know like people that we have seen on. the internet. I mean the the most. high-profile one as of recently was the. Hawkua girl. The Hawkua girl who you. know was in that video and then had a. podcast and things of that nature and. then she had one of those. >> You get you get offered. I mean it the. the pitch is very like I I felt I I felt.

bad. >> Yeah. I felt terrible because like me. listening to it. I'm naturally a uh hey. go [ __ ] yourself guy. Like I I am with. suits mostly. So whenever somebody's. pitching me something, I am naturally. going to not like person. Okay, that's. just what I'm going to do. So then. they're going to have to win it through. this entire thing. But if I sense you're. an idiot and I think it's dumb and I. don't understand it, there's no chance. we're going to do anything. I think. that's documented. That'll come out. That's how I do business. And that's. might be why some of these people uh say. terrible things anonymously about us to,

you know, journalists and stuff because. I sense that they were stupid and. dinosaurs and treated them as such when. that never has happened before. But. whenever something is pitched and I. don't understand it, it's just it's hard. for me to want to jump in on it. But the. pitch is very I mean, it's like, hey, this is the work you got to do. This is. the amount of money you got. We've done. this with these people. This is the. legitimate business. There is this that. can happen. It's like you can see how. you get trapped up in all that [ __ ] If. it wasn't just for like a No, I don't. I'm [ __ ] too stupid for that. >> Especially if the person's trying to get. you. >> Like if the person's trying to.

>> There's a lot of good scam artists these. days, too. Oh, yeah. A lot of good scam. artists out there. They got some good. text messages and emails these days. >> Shout out to Macy. >> Learn more about that later. Let's get. the hell out of here. Be a friend. Tell. a friend something nice that might. change your life. Tone, come on, dude. Tone. Jesus Christ. >> Tony, >> hands down. Hands down. How about when you guys get in a. three-point stance and we're taking a. delayed game? >> It's the worst. It's absolutely. >> cold. Good to see you, Tom. >> Good to see you. >> Sick.

>> Great. >> Yeah. Where did you get that, man? >> Fanatics. They actually delivered in two. days. >> Okay. So, maybe it's just me. >> Maybe it's just me. >> Maybe your order goes to spam. >> Yeah, I checked it yesterday. >> Nope. >> They hear what you say. >> Oh, fanatics. >> Yeah, he heard you talk about him. throwing a pitch. >> Mhm. >> That wasn't me. Yeah, that must be I. ordered a Michael Parson's uh like. jersey shirt. It was like 75 bucks. Came. with a huge hole in the shoulder and I I. was just like, "All right, [ __ ] it. I. guess I just have to wear a long sleeve. shirt underneath this.". >> Yeah, it'll be like fashion.

>> Yeah, it's not. It's [ __ ] annoying. And then now the threads are coming out. So before you know it, I'm just That. sleeve is going to come off. And but. hey, >> one sleeve. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice. Might change your life. We're in. this thing together. Great work this. week, Dut. >> Great work this week. A. >> you too, brother. >> Anything for the group? >> Hell yeah. Army Navy game for America on. three. America on three. 1 2 3. AMERICA. GOODBYE.
