>> Hello beautiful people, and welcome to our humble abode, the. Thunderdome, on this Sports Are Awesome. Wednesday, March 11th, 2026. This. program begins now. Sports are the greatest and there is so. much to talk about. Okay, like I might. never watch a baseball game again. >> Don't say it. >> It might be over. My baseball fandom.

might be over. I learned some things. over the last about 10 hours that I. didn't want to know. Did you know that. team USA, the greatest team we have ever. assembled. >> Well, the world's ever. >> with billions of dollars in contracts on. a diamond. People that are so incredibly. kind to us. People that have been doing. magic just beating teams. Bang, bang, bang. Then they got to play who? Lavazza. Italians, the espresso martini boys. And. all of a sudden, we lose to them. somehow. Okay, I don't know how this is.

possible. Soccer, maybe. Certainly in. the past. Not in the future now that. Ponce got the boys fired up. >> So, I don't think they're going to have. soccer. If this is a cooking contest, I. understand that the Italians are. probably going to beat us in most. situations, all of them are. Everybody's. known as seemingly has something that. she can cook that's better than. everybody else's. Okay, I grew up in. Pittsburgh. It's basically Italy. So, I. understand that they're going to win. that. Coffee making, I got it. Cubans. might have a little bit of an angle to. beat them, but I think the Italians will. certainly beat us in that case. Baseball? Yeah, right. We cannot be.

losing to Grazi paisans in baseball, especially when you're. minus 1,100 favorite. >> Yeah. >> Okay. So, I've been dancing a little bit with. DraftKings. >> Sure. >> Okay, I I was out of the game for a. while and then I started I decided to. make things a little bit more. interesting. So, I started to dabble. with DraftKings. I had some L's hitting. Bang, bang, bang. I think this guy's going to hit a. home run for sure. Guess what? He gets. up to bat four times in a game and guess. what he doesn't do? Doesn't hit a home. run. Who's pitching against him? A.

plumber from another country. How's he. not hit a home run? Well, actually, because it's a plumber, it's actually. harder for him to Okay, could somebody. have told me that before I started. betting on these things? So, my the my. bets thing was just L, L, L, L. I need a. win. Okay? I need a win. Shout out Champagne Papi, okay? Need a. win bad. Need a max win bad here. So, I. don't care what the odds are, what's a. guaranteed win that they're allowing me. to bet on. United States of America beats Italy in. baseball minus 1,100. >> Every time. >> I put 5,000 on that thing cuz that was.

the only way I was going to win anything. of significance. $454 win I was looking. for, okay? $5,000 bet, 454 bucks. All I. really wanted was the dub in the chat. That is literally all I I just wanted to. scroll through and see one green thing. How much was I willing to pay FOR THAT? $5,000. I WOULD like to see a positive. cuz I'm a big emotions guy. If vibes are. high, if vibes are good, I think things. are going to go good. In what? Everything. I I If there's good vibes,

everything's I think there's even been a. little bit of a science experiment that. they put a documentary out that if you. emit good vibes, there's a chance that. the universe will actually bring. positive back to you. So, I always like. that. Whenever you're just losing on. everything, okay? You need one just to. get back in the good graces of maybe the. gambling gods or maybe just vibe society. as a whole. Minus 1,100. We're not going. to lose to stupid Italians in baseball. Yeah, I know that. That's for sure. How much money I win? 454 bucks. That's. enough for me to be excited about. I can. put another couple hundred dollar bets. on things. I I like that. Let's go ahead.

and run it. Eight nothing? IT GAVE WHAT. IT WAS EIGHT NOTHING AT ONE POINT? >> YEP. >> I WAS AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY. JELLY ROLL. WAS GETTING INDUCTED. THAT WAS FUN. It. was a huge night. It was a huge night. AND THEN WE GOT. WHAT'S HIS NAME? >> JACK CAGILONE. >> AN AMERICAN BAT FLIPPING HIS BAT ALL THE. WAY BACK TO HIS DAMN DUGOUT AS HE'S BIG. DONGING ALL OVER OUR FACES OUT THERE. I. I. don't like it. >> No, he shouldn't. Hate it. >> I don't like what's happening here. I don't like that they're judging.

D'Eriq, okay? D'Eriq has been good for. our program. OKAY? HE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SAYING WHAT HE. WAS SAYING. HE DIDN'T THINK HIS TICKET. was punched. >> He should not have said that publicly. Listen, the boys are having a good time. We got a great culture in the clubhouse. Guys are hanging out till 1:00, 2:00. a.m. here, you know. >> That's dragging a bit today. >> Dragging a little bit as they're rolling. in. >> Crawling in. >> And these boys got after it. They like. each other. They like being around each. other. They're doing all these things. That's good management, actually. When I. heard him say that, I'm like, "Thank you. for letting us know that the boys are. coming together." Whatever. I bet $5,000. on us to beat Italy. That'll be a safe. bet or whatever. Then they lose.

>> Yep. >> Then we find out now their ticket ain't. punched. >> not punched. >> THEY MIGHT NOT BE IN THIS THING. [laughter]. AND IT'S LIKE, "WELL, WHAT DO YOU MEAN. THEY'RE NOT IN IT?" WELL, NOW we got to. wait on Italy and Mexico, which was once. on Tubi TV. >> Yep. >> Is now on Fox Sports 1 tonight. And we. need the Italians to win bad, okay? If. If the Italians win, we're in. If Mexico. scores more than five runs, we're in. But if Mexico wins and they score less. than five If this is a cagey affair. >> Yep. >> If this is a 4-1 affair where Mexico.

beats Italy, the United States of. America is not advancing out of pool. play in World Baseball Classic, a. tournament that we put together to win. so we could beat everybody. >> Yeah. >> I don't like that one bit. And I'll say. this. You're doing it for the good of baseball. today, Italy. Okay? >> Yeah. >> I'll never talk of baseball again in. this thing. I ruin baseball. That's kind. of how I feel here. Clayton Kershaw, I. saw him warming up a little bit. We. needed his ass out there earlier cuz I. know what Clayton would do. I've been in. there. I've seen this. >> You've seen Yeah. >> I have seen this guy. He would do what.

he needs to do to beat you. Instead, we. got these middle pitchers coming in here. and they're just saying, "HEY, GUESS. WHAT? BP, BOYS. WELCOME TO THE. AMERICAN BATTING PRACTICE." WHAT DO WE. HAVE GOING ON OUT HERE? AND IS THIS WHAT. BASEBALL'S ALWAYS LIKE? THIS GUY that. talks to people at Boston Corner. And. And now granted, [clears throat] please, we're doing a lot of baseball right now. I apologize. Max Crosby seemed to get. a little bit. >> Yeah. >> [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> We'll talk about that in a second. But. Ty, as we wrap up baseball, what. happened? How does this happen? What. What What What What What do we. How do we lose to Italy in baseball? And.

why are they speaking English. afterwards? THEY'RE ALL AMERICANS THAT. ARE ON THAT ITALIAN team that just beat. America in America to knock out America. in an AMERICAN TOURNAMENT? >> IN TEXAS. >> IN I DON'T THINK I UNDERSTAND what's. going on here last It was A TOUGH NIGHT. JELLY Roll's Grand Ole Opry. >> Exactly. Team USA not know that? >> I'm what? >> I don't think they cared. >> I'm saying backstage like this. >> Rosey sure did. >> Lainey Wilson walks by. Lainey Wilson. walks by. >> with duck. >> Shout out. >> I start quack quack quack quack quack. you know and walk by good to see you. guys. George Jones' widow there Nancy Jones is. there royalty at the place walking.

around. Ernest Jelly Belly everybody. from the music community is doing their. thing. And I'm sta- everybody's back to. huge ordeal it is. I'm looking at my. phone. And I'm just seeing score run up the. other way. I'm thinking my app's broken. this Grand Ole Opry has got some magic. and it's giving the Italians win right. now. That was not the case we got our. asses beat. >> We did. >> And then we started coming back late and. it was an opportunity for us to win it. >> No we're not going to do this. I'm going. to cut I'm going to cut I'm going to cut. you off right there. >> That's 9-year NFL veteran Jay Butler. There was an opportunity for us to win.

it. I was experiencing this in real. time. On my phone while watching on YouTube TV. as it's traveling around. Aaron Judge. has a chance one guy on bottom of the. ninth two outs how you doing hit a. dinger here maybe it goes to extra. innings maybe America gets a big time. win. Maybe this actually. >> It's a good pitch. >> Yeah it's a great pitch. He's been. seeing a lot of this. He's been seeing a. lot of it. Bryce Harper had an. opportunity. >> Wow. >> who's who's friend of the program. He's. been good to us we we love that guy. >> Love him. >> He had an opportunity to do the bat flip. that we talked about. >> Yeah. Oh yeah. >> Instead but that thing was way way. pitcher had.

>> Got him. He's he's got a go on these guys. >> Yeah Rod Marinacci. >> Yeah. Unbelievable. >> pepperoni in their gloves that's. something to think about. >> IT DOES FEEL like there's a little. mozzarella in there. I mean maybe we. should check the caps here or whatever. Bryce chases one flies out it's like. they might have us and they did. And now. we're not playing baseball ever again. What the hell happened here? How's. everything change in what seemingly is. one night for all parties including the. fans and the team maybe. >> Yeah I'm I'm honestly at a loss for. words Like, I everyone has said. everything. There's no way that lineup.

should have lost that game. Michael. Lorenzen, the guy who started for Italy, has thrown a no-hitter in Major League. Baseball before. So, like, this guy's. good, but boy, listen, I know he's a. friend of the program. Okay? He's been. great to us. We love him. But, uh. but. Diro, it just there there's really. nothing else you can say. He Diro. clearly thought we were in a Hey, listen, we want to win the game tonight, but our ticket's punched in in the next. round. And, um our ticket was not. punched. We we kind of put our I don't.

want to say B lineup. These guys are all. All-Stars, but we didn't play all the. guys we probably should have. And, then. it kind of, you know, reality set in in. about the seventh inning, and it was. like, oh, actually, you know, we can't. get beat eight nothing. If we get beat. eight nothing, we're going to lose this. game. So, you know, Roman Anthony claws. one back. Pete Crow-Armstrong was. unbelievable, hit two homers, kind of. did everything he could. But, it was. just too little, too late. And, that's. kind of what happens that or what can. happen in baseball is, yes, we are the. way more talented team, even though they.

have, you know, 21 uh American guys on. their roster. But, listen, if you don't. if you don't put your, you know, best. foot forward, whether it's pitching, whether it's with your lineup, like, you. can get beat by a team who's got a bunch. of MLB guys, and that's exactly what. they did. So, yeah, now we're just. hoping and praying that um. Italy either wins straight up today. Aaron Nola's on the bump, great pitcher, so that's good. Or that Mexico wins, and. Alejandro Wubble Body Kirk and some of. these other guys hit a couple homers, and they score more than five runs. Uh.

but, boy, just. >> Dark, dark day for Italy. All right. >> Okay. All right. That's good news. We hope the Italians will help us out. today. >> They will. Yeah, right. >> It's going to be one half OF THE HAMMER. DONE. COWBOYS AP turn before we move on. to the Max Crosby situation with the. Ravens, which has certainly rattled all. NFL conversations. What are the the on. tonight's Italy-Mexico game? And, uh as. we kind of put this whole thing in a. nutshell is my minus $1,100 $5,000. hammer loss potentially worst bet of all. time. [laughter].

>> It is potentially worst bet of all time. While you were doing it, you you're. like, this is this is great. I'll win. $400 tonight. And Ty goes, yeah, I mean. there's no way Team USA loses tonight. We knew at that point that was probably. when they were going to lose. >> don't you put that ON US. >> YEAH, NO WAY. >> SAY ANYTHING. >> OKAY. OKAY. Uh Mexico is $3 favorite. tonight. A pretty large favorite. Being. Aaron Nola is one of the best pitchers. in the MLB for Team Italy. So we still. have a chance there. Listen, if there's a team that could get it done. for the Americans, it's Italy. Trust me.

I know that deep down in my heart and I. think the boys in the Azzurri will do. that for team What? >> Yeah, right. >> I'm sorry. They just beat Team USA, OKAY? >> SHUT UP. >> SHUT UP. YOU SOUND TOO HAPPY. AND THAT'S. KIND OF THE WHOLE PROBLEM. >> ITALIAN, OKAY? I WAS bummed out last. night. But I'm just saying if there's a. team that could help out US, it's Italy. >> All right. We appreciate the Italians. for what you're about to do for the. Americans. >> Pizza, maybe. [applause]. >> And I had espresso earlier today and we. will eat pizza and we will do it all. And we are very grazi for everything. you've done for America. But last night. just can't be happening.

>> No, it can't happen. >> And and listen, to the boys in the. clubhouse, I don't even know if you're. there because we don't have any games. potentially ever again. But just know we. enjoyed the hell out of the ride. Just. that can't happen. You know that can't. happen. One of you should have told D-ro. we still had to play a game. >> Yeah, where's the mayor at? >> Sean Casey, yeah. >> It's not the mayor's fault. >> All right, let's move along. Let's get. to the NFL. Speaking of mayors, I. thought there was some rules and I think. we all learned quickly that I guess. there is still some rules that you can. kind of put in your back pocket,

allegedly. Now, we don't know the ins. and outs of this entirely. I think the. whole world knew Max Crosby wasn't. healthy, right? Wasn't that kind of the. big deal with him at the end of the. Raiders situation is he wanted to play, they said he couldn't play, Pete Carroll. came out and said like doctors just said. we can't do this. And then Max Crosby. felt disrespected by the Raiders because. he's like, all I ever try to do is play. for the Raiders. Everybody wants me to. get traded somewhere else. All I want to. do is play for the Raiders. I want to. play for the Raiders. Now you guys won't. let me play because are you trying to. tank to get the number one overall pick? That's not what I want to be a part of. about." Then you heard the stories. coming out like, "Max never won. High.

school he never won. College he never. won. Now in the NFL he's never won. Maybe it's time for him to start. thinking about winning because the team. that he thought he was so close with. obviously had a disagreement at the end. of the day. Whole new generation in for. the Raiders. Whole new movement of. Raiders. Let's move on from Max Crosby. and in doing so we'll get the two number. ones as well. So we move on into a next. generation with Fernando Mendoza, Brock. Bowers, Ashton Jeanty, Tom Brady. probably a little bit more hands-on. We'll move on from the Max Crosby era of. the Raiders. We'll thank him for his. There'll be no bad blood, but. we'll also get a lot in return. And the. Ravens Jesse Minter, how you doing? Keep.

moving your defensive head coach. You. got Lamar Jackson on one side. Now you. got the Condor on the other side. It all. made sense. It all felt like it made. sense. All teams started acting. accordingly. All other free agents in. certain positions started acting. accordingly. You got guys signing on the. Raiders for a prove it deals basically. at. quarterback rushing positions. I'll take. a one-year prove it deal if I'm going to. get an opportunity to get on the field. You got other people making signings. You got Baltimore Ravens kind of. hamstrung cuz of what they got bringing. in there. Can't do other stuff. So. everything kind of goes how it goes. And. then last night we get a message, "Yeah,

Ravens said we ain't doing it.". Nah. Nope. He failed a physical. Well, we all knew he was going to fail a. physical, didn't we? Kind of know he's. That's kind of how we got to this whole. situation with the the injury is is kind. of what it always Yeah, couldn't pass. physical. So sorry. We we need our two. ones back also. The two we need. those actually. >> What? >> And also yeah, we're signing Trey. Hendrickson for a four-year $115 million. same exact position and we still have. our two number one. picks for this year and next year. It's. like, "Wait a minute. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." So how many days until Wednesday. I guess you This is the interesting.

thing about the tampering period, but. nothing become official until Wednesday. And then being able to just say, "Nah, we ain't doing that cuz you failed a. physical." even though everybody thought. he was going to fail a physical anyways. until probably like June-ish I think. July. Just an interesting dynamic here. that doesn't look like it's uh uh. you know, good for the football gods. It. doesn't feel like this is has been. handled right. Joining us now is a man. who was an NFL team doctor for a long, long time, still a practicing uh. physician, I do believe. And also, he is. owner and operator of the. >> Sports Injury Central.

>> Which are a group of doctors and former. sports medical people that watch. injuries happen and then they give their. immediate diagnosis and projections. Remember, whenever we're calling games, we're like, "We're not a doctor. We're. not going to try to guess what that. injury is." That's what they actually. do. They do try to guess it. They put it. out publicly and they are normally. spot-on. On Monday, this man actually. said, "Oh, we wonder what the Ravens do. with the physical cuz we all kind of. know that he's probably not going to be. able to pass it." It turns out to be the. story. We appreciate him joining us. right now in the middle of his work day,

ladies and gentlemen, Dr. David Chao. >> Yay, doc. >> How you doing, doc? Thank you for taking. time on this uh ever-present moment here. of team physicians making decisions, seemingly. Can you kind of just take us. through why on Monday you put out the. video uh wondering about the physical. with the Baltimore Ravens? And can any. team do this, I guess, just kind of say, "Well, we don't like the physical" and. how normal is this, if that makes sense, doc? >> Yeah, thank you. And you're you are. catching me between surgeries here, so. sorry for the attire and so forth. But.

yeah, on Monday on the podcast on my. podcast, I said, "Look, if it's a. meniscus repair, that's nothing. something that you can't pass a physical. in 2 months." And it's only been 2. months. So, the Ravens would have to. project him to pass a physical. But. there's an additional issue that's. implied here. Apparently, they did. additional studies. And it's not just can he be ready for. this season, it's is it worth the two. first draft picks in terms of did they. find some wear and tear on his knee with.

the additional studies? And uh yes, the. Ravens, it's a bad luck, but they are. 100% within their right to determine a. failed physical, not only based on today. not being able to pass a physical, but. the projection or long-term health. projections. And that's what's in. question here. Your Colts just signed. Daniel Jones. He technically fails a. physical today from his Achilles, but. they're not worried about it, and. they're going to pass him on that. portion. The Ravens for some reason were.

worried about it long-term, and there's. nothing the Raiders can do about it. The. league will not inter investigate. This. is just the way that it is. >> Okay, Doc. I appreciate you giving us. the real scoop and the intel on how it. actually works. The projection of. potential passing of a physical in the. future, and also degenerative stuff. potentially happening. Is this one of. those things and and I know you doctors. are all super geniuses, so I don't want. to knock anything. But is this something. where one doctor will say "It's not a. problem." and another doctor could say. "It is a problem." So, the Ravens can be. within their right saying "Our doctor. said it was a problem." even if there. was another doctor that said "Whoa,

whoa, we'll Like if another team today. trades for Maxx Crosby, gives a first. rounder and a second rounder, and then. their doctors pass the physical, it can. be a differing of opinion, right? When. you're trying to project what the future. is, especially whenever it comes to. elite athletes and stuff like that? >> 100%. Doctors' analysis in some ways are like. a scouting report. One GM may have this. player graded as a first rounder, another as a high second rounder. They're not all unanimous on their. opinions, and I don't think anyone's. saying Maxx Crosby can't play football.

this fall. I think what the Ravens are. saying is "We're worried about our. long-term investment in terms of what we. might get based on what we're now seeing. with the knee." Certainly, they. exchanged medical information ahead of. time. And the simple analogy I'll give. you is when you purchase a home or sell. a home, you enter escrow. There is a 10-. or 14-day inspection period. And if the. inspection doesn't go as planned for the. buyer, they can unilaterally cancel the. contract. The roof doesn't have to leak. for you to cancel the contract. You can.

just say "The roof is older than I. thought it was and might need to be. replaced earlier than I thought it was. So, I'm not buying this home unless you. discount it or I'm dropping out of. escrow." And that's probably the similar. situation analogy that I would give you. >> Okay, on that note, if I publicly. announced that I was buying a house and. the house publicly was announcing that I. was buying it as well and it was a. massive celebration and a big deal and. the roof wasn't leaking water, I would. assume that I would be okay with the. physical being passed. It appears as if.

they found out. Now, granted, our source. says have told us that Trey Hendrickson. was dreaming if he was going to go to. the Ravens of playing with Maxx Crosby. That That's kind of what all the intel. is from the Trey Hendrickson camp that. we have learned both from Schefter and. from our own research into that world is. that they were basically fantasizing. about a time with he and Maxx Crosby on. the same D-line. So, I don't think they. potentially knew that was the case, but. as soon as that deal gets announced and. they still have the one and the two,

it's like, "Oh, this was clearly. we we didn't know, but now we can and we. get buyer's remorse type feels what the. initial public reaction is that it's a. bad deal." How often does this take. place? It doesn't feel like this is this. happens that often, especially with how. highly sought after Maxx Crosby was, how. big of a deal it was and especially the. Ravens organization. It doesn't feel. like this would be something that'd be. coming out of there. How often does this. type of thing take place, Doc, in your. predicament? >> This type of thing has never happened in. my experience. Not of this magnitude,

not involving two first-round trades. And remember, the landscape has changed. over the last few days of who's. available and draft picks and cap and so. forth. And now the the deal reverts. It's never happened like this before. There have been lots of incidences where. a player has failed a physical and some. trades have not become final, not of. this magnitude. Lots of incidences where. a free agent signing doesn't conclude, including in 2014, the Raiders agreed to.

a deal in free agency with Rodger. Saffold, and then failed him on a. physical, and he reverted for less money. to the then St. Louis Rams. So, failed. physicals do happen, and no trade or. signing is final until the physical is. passed. >> All right, we appreciate the hell out of. you for your intel. Good luck on the. surgery you're about to have, I think. literally in that room right there. You're the man, ladies and gentlemen, Dr. David Chao. Thank you, bro. Okay, so this is something he said, the.

league won't look into this, this has. always been there, this is what this is, you can do this. He's never seen it. before with this big of a name, and. obviously with this big of a trade. >> Us either, it all looks weird. >> As an ex ex ex-player, >> Mhm. >> soon as I see the news come across, I'm. like, oh, the Ravens just backed out of. this deal for whatever reason. >> Yeah. >> But then you see like Max traveled out. there, Max is taking pictures out there, Max is doing his whole thing, they did a. whole podcast about it, it's like, damn. >> [clears throat]. >> That's a crazy yeah, it's a cold world. if that is the case. And then what does. Max do? Max now going to play for the. Raiders? And we looked at all the.

additions that the Raiders had during. free agency, it's like, I think we even. said during on the show during free. agency frenzy, it's like, this feels. like not a good time for Max. >> Yes. >> to leave the Raiders. If they were to. have Max, that'd be fantastic. They're. going to pick keep him, allegedly. He. was the first person in the building. this morning. They can afford him, it's. like, maybe this is a football gods. telling him, hey, you're supposed to be. a Raider, D-Bug. >> You were right, maybe he's he's a one. helmet guy after all, but it goes back. But for the Ravens, I've been hearing, I. don't know this. from my personal experience, that their.

doctor, their staff, their medical. staff, a little more strict than some of. maybe the other units around the league. And the Raider the Ravens, like they're. investing obviously on his future. You're giving up a ton of picks, you're. going to give him a ton of money, most. likely. So, you're you're not only only. paying attention to what he did in. Vegas, but what he's going to do in. Baltimore going going down the line. But. him going back to the Raiders, man, like. you look at those additions, and then. you have him, you brought in a former. Colt first rounder Quitty Pay, who now. you be a opposite of Max Crosby if he. plays this season. He'll be getting the. best looks I think he's gotten in his.

career being opposite of a guy like that. and there's all these other additions. Linderbaum was obviously the biggest. signing for them. I mean, the line that. they carried Johnson, yeah, I mean great. signings all all down the board. So, the. atom is big. >> That was the one year $11 million deal I. saw across this graphic. It's like. that's like kind of a proof of deal. there for hopefully to be able to Now. you got the condor back on every single. snap. Not that anybody's upset about. that, but it is like a lot of deals were. made under the guise that hey, Max. Crosby signed there. We got two number.

ones too. They're making decisions with. like, you know, two number ones and how. these whole things operating. It's just. this is a fascinating little thing that. can happen. I I did not know that this. could take place. Obviously, we know. franchise tags have interesting. situations. A team a player can sign it. and get traded. Transition tags, we know. it's like kind of promoting a coming and. and doing business. Never has it been. full celebration. Hey, we're doing this and then. late days later saying, "Nah, actually. we're not doing that. Get the hell out.

of our city." It's like it's 2026. It. feels like our business is way too. advanced to be at the stage of doing. that. I'm sure the Ravens have some. reasoning. Okay, I cannot wait to hear. what it is. And maybe it is just. strictly their doctor seeing something. and being like, "We didn't know this was. the case." And if that's the case, I. guess you got to respect them for. standing by it, but man, you almost want. to have that info before you do the. entirety of the deal. >> Which I believe they could have, but a. lot of it last night, yes, it it could. have just been the doctors. It could. actually been, you know, they went in. there and looked at it and they didn't. like what it was.

For the first cuz you're giving up a. lot, two first round picks for the. future, you're going to want him to be. there for a long time. But there was. also people on the internet. who just kind of looked what they had. done in free agency for so far and it. was nothing. They they signed one guy, they lost, I think it was like eight of. their own players, Rockard, likely. Linderbaum, others. So, it was it was a. situation where like. >> Stat, punter? >> Yeah, Stat. Jordan Stat. So, they had lost they had lost a lot. And then, you're looking at it right. here. Like, they had lost a lot. And. then, oh, Trey Hendrickson just happens.

to still be available out there? Oh, and. we could potentially fail a physical and. we get our two first-round picks back. because we have a free agency hasn't. gone our way, and we get to get Trey. Hendrickson? So, there's just some some. things out there when you look at it. that um that people are questioning, right? >> Steelers fan. >> Yeah, certainly. >> Steelers fan. And obviously, Dr. Chao. said this is something that can happen. and probably has happened, just not with. this magnitude of players. Probably. like, you know, a new signing comes in, vet man, uh journeyman, didn't know your. knee was as banged up as it is. We got. eyes on it. Okay, we're actually not. going to do the deal. I assume that.

happens. Max Crosby, though. Max. This is Max Crosby. It it And the Ravens. I I just just feels amateur. >> Yes. >> It kind of feels amateur, if that makes. sense, to me. >> Especially, like you mentioned it like I. understand there's maybe some things. that popped up that they But, they would. have had to know to more extent than we. do what his knee was like. You know, like we talked about it. Like, that that. was kind of known league-wide. Like, hey, this guy probably isn't going to. pass a physical if he gets traded. And I. just I I think back to like when Micah. got traded last year. Like, he had back.

issues, missed a bunch of games the year. before, and the Packers did you know, they did the same thing. And it like he. wasn't ready to go yet, but it was kind. of like, you know what? We're confident. with where you're going to be. Let's do. this anyway. >> What did Bill Belichick tell us the. story about him trading for Randy? >> Oh, yeah. >> Got to get him in for a physical. Got to. get him in for a physical. >> [laughter]. >> Okay. >> He's like, all right. So, Randy walks in. the building and Bill goes, "Feel good?". >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Hit him on the shoulders. All right. He passed the physical. Yeah, Randy Randy Moss is good. That's. normally what it is. So, >> And you would think Crosby would be one. of those guys. >> Yeah, so you're like almost splunking. for a reason to get out of it. Uh-uh.

>> I mean, >> Maybe they're still under due diligence. >> They are. I mean, that's and that's. >> But, so I got to respect that. >> Yeah, for sure. That's the that's the. biggest part of the combine, you know, going in there and and every all the. different team doctors getting their. hands on you. Especially, I had a. meniscus MCL injury coming out. So, every different doctor had to get their. own thing. So, maybe just going into. there, it was just something that popped. up. What's Max, like 30? >> Yeah, 29. >> Yeah, so you know, when you're that age, you know, in the NFL, once you hit that. mark, you're not a quarterback, everybody's kind of looking for. something. >> Hey Max.

Another team said they didn't want you. to. And [laughter] then and it's just like. >> Legit. >> Oh, I cannot wait to watch what it is. If he ends up moving on from the Raiders. again and another team offers up, we'll. be excited to see how that physical. goes. But obviously, if he's back with. the Raiders with what they did, and. Mendoza, once again, we are believers. >> Mhm. >> We are big believers and we might be. completely wrong. But I am a firm. believer that Mendoza is going to be a. very good NFL player. The Raiders might. be on to something. >> Might be a good football team. >> And maybe this is. >> Might be a good football team. >> Might be a good football team. >> And it might just be the football gods.

Speaking of the football gods, they. blessed us. They blessed us. >> Okay. >> They blessed us. >> Amen, brother. Hell yeah. >> Dan Orlovsky was sitting over there with. Shrags, which we certainly appreciate. them coming out here alongside Shafter. And Dan Orlovsky said to us, uh, me and. D But, he goes, "Kyler Murray on a. veteran min deal. or Daniel Jones, 50 million a year?". And me and D But sat for a second cuz. that is obviously, uh, a big question, especially whenever you're talking about. that amount of money, the salary cap, after we just signed the largest free. agent wide receiver signing in the. history of ball. So, you wait and. Jonathan Taylor is going to need another.

deal. It's hard to kind of piece it all. together. And then me and D But talked. for, I don't know, what was it, 15, 20. seconds? And then we said, "This dude or. nothing. Give him 100 million if you. have to." Well, TURNS OUT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN. LADIES AND. GENTLEMEN, quarterback of the. Indianapolis Colts, the Indiana Jones. Ladies and gentlemen, the man who led. the NFL in offense, the man who led the. Colts to eight and two and number one. record in the entire NFL before breaking. his leg in one side and then tearing his.

Achilles in the other. We don't know how. the physical's gone, but we do know he's. back. Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel. Jones. >> What's up, guys? What's up? What's up? How we doing? >> Hey, congratulations, man. Obviously, we. think you have earned it. We are. incredibly pumped that you are back here. in Indianapolis. What was it like kind. of not knowing what the future while. also battling through injuries, which is. obviously the big conversation with Max. Crosby going to Baltimore. But for you, injuries in both legs, obviously an. Achilles, and free agency after playing. your best football. How is this all gone.

and how happy are you that it's over? >> Yeah, I'm fired up. Fired up to be back. and and definitely grateful for for the. opportunity to be back and and here with. the Colts. So, it's been crazy, you. know, the. the left leg's good. That's all healed. Working on this Achilles, making good. progress with the rehab, and. it's all good. I'm fired up. >> We will continue this conversation on. ESPN News, YouTube, ESPN Plus, Disney. Plus, TikTok Live. College basketball. will follow us here with Mr. Shulman and. Jay Bilas on the booth. Yeah, remember. when college basketball season? We are.

also in big money for quarterback. season. And this man right here, Daniel. Jones, just signed a 2-year deal to sign. back with the Colts. We'll continue to. chat with him, and we'll see you. tomorrow. Goodbye. Okay, now we're on. ESPN News and we are on the internet. DJ, listen, it was Colts or nothing for. you the entire time. We just had to have. kind of put out a little smoke screen. you're maybe going elsewhere because I. want to let you know when we thought you. were potentially leaving and then we put. the transition tag on you, celebrate, and then we're told that doesn't mean. then we're kind of bummed out. You. coming back is a huge deal, but you had. to feel something special in that. building last year, I assume, whenever.

you guys are on that magical run? >> For sure, for sure. I I you know, I I. I want to be back and and glad we got it. figured out. I didn't the transition. tag, that whole process was was. interesting, but I always wanted to be. here and and, you know, had faith it. would it would work out. So, yeah, definitely appreciative, grateful, and fired up to be here. We got a. special thing going and working with. this coaching staff, working with the. guys in the locker room, and fired up to. get Alec back and and all that. So, looking forward to it. >> I know, obviously, injuries are.

injuries, and you talked about the. broken leg being healed and you're. dealing with the Achilles right now. We've seen a lot of Achilleses in the. past. Feels like the science is. evolving, but it's still an Achilles. What are projections right now for you. to be back because that was also a. massive piece of who's going to be. where. Do we get a fill-in guy? Is Riley. going to get some time? Then DJ's going. to come back? What are your expectations. and how are you operating with we know. that nothing is a hard lock guarantee. >> Yeah, it's all it's all a process and. and going through it. My goal is to be. back by week one and and be ready to go. I think that's. that's what we're working towards and. and and should be should be able to.

accomplish. So, it's all it's all a. process and we'll keep checking the. boxes, working with the guys here with. the Colts, and. feel good about that. So, I'm I'm. planning on being back and and the goal. is shooting for week one. >> Hell yeah. >> Okay. That would be awesome. >> We're back on top of the world. >> Come on, Dan. >> I'm buying the suite again. I'm buying. the suite again. >> [laughter]. >> All right. I'm buying the suite again. There's a lot of question marks. There's. a lot of question marks. There's a lot. of great moves were made, including a. big one. Go ahead, D-Bud. >> Yeah, Dan, Alec you mentioned Alec. earlier. He was a top free agent wide. receiver on the market. We were able to. keep him as well. What was it about him.

playing with him? He obviously had his. biggest year and then Reggie Wayne, a. legend Reggie Wayne, tweeted out after. Michael Pittman Jr. went on to the. Steelers and said, "Hey, that was kind. of the tone setter in that wide receiver. room." So, who steps up in that room, Alec or Pierce Downs, in your opinion? >> Yeah, I mean, I think first just. obviously bummed to see Pitt go. He's a. was a you know, tremendous leader, obviously a great player, extremely. productive, and a guy you can count on. He's tough as they come. You know, to always always being out. there and. wish him the best. I know he'll crush it.

with the Steelers. They're lucky to have. him. But yeah, I think you know, I think all. those guys. I think you look at AP, Downs, both those guys played a lot of. football, been really productive. Excited to continue to work with them. and then, you know, we got a number. other guys with Ashton and. Tread and you know, number of other guys. working in. So, I'm excited. I think that room will be. great. I mean, I think Alec is as. dynamic as they come down the field. making big plays. You've seen that for. uh you know four four five years,

especially last year, too. So, uh I'm fired up. >> Yeah, here here's some Hembo stats about. what you were leading whenever you were. with the Colts. Colts had number one. scoring offense in the NFL at the time. of Jonathan Taylor's injury, 29.8 points. per game. Is that good? >> It's pretty good. >> yeah, it's good. >> Yes, best in the league. >> Yeah, it's pretty good. >> Thank you so much. Jonathan Taylor. averaged 11.5 yards per attempt. Are. these check-downs? Is that what he's. doing? Is he Is he just No, he's. spinning it all over the place. 20.4. yards per completion whenever he's. targeting Alec Pierce. Yeah, we're. explosives all over the place. Other. people are struggling to get explosives. >> Yes. >> Yeah, we were not. That was not a thing.

That's why Lucas Oil Stadium was. awesome. I mean, it was. >> JT was. >> Oh, JT was all OVER THE PLACE. OH MY GOD. BY THOSE MEASURES, IT'S ONE. OF the most explosive tandems in the. league history. >> Wow. >> He He just didn't add history there at. the end. He was supposed to. >> [laughter]. >> So, whatever Whenever we talk about what. you did with the Colts last year, the. good times, we were all incredibly happy. about. I don't think the national media. fully got a chance to experience what. the good times with you were for 10. weeks. We are excited to get back to. that as soon as possible. Now, getting.

back to that obviously involves a lot of. rehab for you. Looks like you're just. walking around, but I like that. I don't. know if you want to take a. little six-step drop and let us. >> [laughter]. >> know how it's going. >> Tone has a question for you, DJ. >> Yeah, DJ, I do. Obviously, two different. sports, but you're in the same city. Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in. the playoffs last season. Have you had a. chance to talk with him at all? I don't. even know if you guys know each other or. if you talked to any other quarterbacks. that have torn their Achilles in the. last few years cuz there has been a. a few to see kind of what the recovery. process will be like. >> Yeah, I talked to Tyrese a little bit.

early on. We actually have the same. surgeon. So, we're Yeah, it was good to kind of. hear his thoughts on just the initial. stage of the process and the rehab. I. know his is is going well, and. yeah, so talked to him, talked to a. couple other guys, quarterbacks, you. know, Rodgers and Kirk Cousins who both. had them, and and they were all helpful. So, you You try to gain as much. information and you know, as much. experience as you can uh to kind of help. you through your process, but um you. know, we got great trainers, great PT. guys here with the Colts and and working.

with them. Uh you know, listen to your doctors, listen to the surgeon, all that. I think. try to uh come up with the best process. >> I'm going to use this uh phrase in its. actual intention. Uh ipso facto, your. Achilles surgeon was also Jason Tatum's. surgeon. If it was also Tyrese's. surgeon, I do believe. And he just came. back quicker than anybody in history. So, I can't wait to see you running all. over Lucas Oil week one. Maybe maybe. preseason game. >> Oh, yeah. Well, maybe. >> Yeah. >> At least the third one. >> Yeah, let's let us let the world see.

what what the horses are about to be. doing out there. But, we are excited to. watch your recovery. Last question here. as we talk about that locker room over. there. We all know there's a sense of. urgency. Go ahead, comment. >> Yeah, Dimes, when you're thinking about. that locker room and just the off season. and motivation when it comes to the. regular season that, you know, you'll be. starting for week one, which we're all. very excited about. How much of a. conversation is it just about, you know, the drought as far as winning the. division goes inside the Colts building? I think we all agree if you stayed. healthy, that probably would have. changed. But, is that a conversation.

between, you know, the boys, like, "Hey, we need to reclaim the AFC South for. Indiana and Indianapolis?". >> Yeah, I mean, I think for sure we talked. about that. I think there's a there's a. high sense of urgency in the building uh. amongst everybody. I think we realize. um you know, last year we were things. were good. We were rolling and we didn't. finish how we how we uh you know, could. have and and should have, but um I think. there's you know, so there's a level of. confidence I think in what we can be and. what we can what we can do, but there's. a high sense of urgency to to do that.

and make sure we we get back to where we. were and then sustain that through the. through the course of the season. >> I'm pretty pumped to potentially get. along with the locker room over there, too. That's pretty cool. >> [laughter]. >> A lot of good news. That's good, man. Come on. >> Yeah, it's good. >> Come on. >> Yeah, yeah, all right. All right, I got. it. It's good news. Feels like a lot of. moves were made to for that to happen. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like legit. If it does. feel like that and I'm very thankful for. that, but I also think. we're going to Super Bowl. That's so. awesome. Have you ever watched the Team. USA baseball at all, DJ? >> Uh I haven't. No, I haven't been. watching it. >> You're the man. You're the man. We.

appreciate you. Have a good one. We'll. see you soon, all right? >> All right. Appreciate you guys. See you. >> Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel Jones. He's got no idea what's going on. >> Super Bowl's back on. >> He's locked in. >> Have you seen USA baseball? >> Uh my Achilles thing at 6:00 a.m. I got. to and then at 8:00 a.m. they got to. >> You're in trouble if he's keeping up. keeping tabs on Team USA baseball. >> Well, mostly because of how negative it. would be. Joining us now is a man who. might have been keeping tabs closer than. anybody on this Team USA baseball as the.

roster is being constructed and as the. dreams were kind of coming together. Now, he had a fantasy baseball league. draft that he had to be at while we were. out there with Team USA taking a bat. against Clayton Kershaw, meeting the. boys, chitchatting, seeing the vibes. And I'll tell you, he missed out on what. we got to experience, which was what. felt like a very tight group. >> Yep. >> Very proud group. A group that was ready for the moment. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> to win. >> I still feel that way. But last night. we lost to a coffee country.

>> We got embarrassed. >> Well, >> and a soccer country. >> Yeah. >> F1, fashion, food, arts, organized crime, bingo. That's the most important of. them. >> gabagool. >> They They invented it. Crime, that is. >> Organized. >> Yeah. >> Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, They definitely did. Though, I I mean, if you watch the documentaries, they had. crime pretty good figured out. >> Yeah. >> They They felt like they had a pretty. good The Irish back in the day were. trying. We were a little reckless. I. think we didn't have it as. >> That was chaos crime. >> Yeah, you guys were a little bit more.

organized. You got the most organized. >> Ah, you never know. >> I mean, Whitey certainly tried, it seems. like from the documentaries that I. watched. >> down the Italians. >> No, he didn't. >> Well, I mean, let's not even talk about. Frank. Uh. >> That's right. >> You know, in the. >> in Harlem uh. Frank Lucas, yeah. in Harlem I mean, that's a great story. He took He. actually did. >> Yeah. Mhm. >> Yeah, that's one of the greatest of all. time. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> He did what Whitey couldn't. >> them cops. He got them all. >> He did blot that. >> Yeah, that was great. That was a great.

rug. Shouldn't have been wearing that. to the boxing match. >> No, definitely. >> He knew that though. >> See, that's the thing. That's something that the Irish would. have done. The Italians wouldn't have done that. >> Cuz they dress like that all day, every. day. >> So, it wouldn't have made a difference. It wouldn't have been outrageous. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. the man who watched the Italians beat. out of America last night. And he's going to tell us why I'm. supposed to watch baseball again after. what has happened. My heart's been. broken. on a diamond. Ladies and gentlemen, Jed. Casten. Italians are good at organized crime.

They are incredible at soccer, okay? They're good at cooking. >> They didn't even make the World Cup. >> They actually make it, yeah. What What's. that? >> They didn't make it this year. They're. not even good at soccer anymore. >> Wow, okay. So. >> They're a baseball country now. New. Casten. >> They're But they're all Americans. >> There's a certain team that may be. getting [laughter] removed that uh the. Italians might slide in that spot. >> For the World Cup? >> Yeah. >> Okay, well, good luck to the Italians. making it in the World Cup. We're going. to beat you in soccer. We can't be. losing Italy in baseball. What did I. watch last night and why am I still.

going to watch baseball, Jed? I need. hope bad. I need hope bad at this exact. moment. Not only because America. >> Yeah. >> but also because I was starting to fall. in love with this sport. >> Yes. >> really starting to enjoy this, all the. boys. And now my heart's broken into a. million pieces. I'm not going to be able. to survive 100-something games. So, I'm. not even going to watch one of them, especially if we can't get out of pool. play IN THE WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC, JED. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF Canada makes it? They. might. >> OH, THEY MIGHT. >> CANADA MIGHT make it out of pool play. >> They do. They do. >> Sorry, Jed. I'm sorry I'm rambling, but. this is how I feel. This is how your.

sport has me feeling right now. I'm very. confused about it all. Maybe I'm not. good at handling my emotions with this. cuz I've never actually become a brand. new fan of something and then had it. deteriorate so quickly. So, if you could. and I lost 5,000 bucks on a guaranteed. win. So, if you could Jet, if you could. just talk me off of this baseball ledge, I'd be grateful. Thank you. The floor is. yours. I will stop. >> Pat, welcome to baseball. A sport where. a group of Now, they are Americans. They're Italian Americans, but where a. group of players who have like a couple.

of collective All-Star appearances among. them. And by the way, that was a. tremendous bat flip by Jack Hagar in. there. He. knocked it off of the damn diamond. Pat, if you hit a tank like that, that's. the kind of bat flip you'd have had. right there. But they're going against. an American team that has MVPs, that has. Cy Young winners, that has All-Star. appearances, that has Hall of Famers, that is I I said this last time I was on. the show, it's as loaded a team as. you're going to find.

in baseball. It doesn't matter a damn. bit because a lesser team talent-wise. can go out and absolutely wallop a. better team on any given day. And that's. what happened last night. The most. amazing part of that game to me, just. what happened on the field, the top five hitters in Italy's lineup, Pat, went 0 for 22. and they still beat Team USA. They still. embarrassed this seemingly unbeatable.

American team. And right now, the. Americans are resigned to sitting back. at their hotel and watching tonight as. Mexico and Italy play and hoping that. either Italy wins or Mexico scores a. bunch of runs because if neither of. those things happens, the Americans are. going home. And in the five previous. World Baseball Classics, they'd at least. advanced out of pool play, lost a couple. of times. in the quarterfinals, you know, have won. only once. But man, the the aspirations.

and dreams of this team compared to what. they're facing right now are just night. and day. >> It's our pastime, you know. [laughter]. >> Yeah. >> That was in a lot of group texts last. night, I assume not just ours. Trying to figure out pastime and past. time. >> Mhm. >> So, we got to admit in ours, I assume. everybody has theirs. We're all learning. about baseball, not all of us cuz. there's obviously a massive baseball. community and I've been very thankful. for the baseball community seemingly. being as welcoming as they have been. But, there's a lot of us that this is us. getting into baseball.

>> Cuz it's America. This is the same thing. that happened with hockey, okay? Hockey. teams showed up, women and men, great. goals, physical fighting, all that. stuff. >> Made another group. >> Yeah. >> We got ducks on the pond. We got DUCKS. ON THE POND. Against Frankie Donuts up. there. >> [laughter]. >> And we can't get home. I I I mean, and. then who's our pitchers? What are we. doing? We got Kershaw in the in what's. that called where he's standing out. there? >> Bullpen. >> In the bullpen. >> Bullpen. >> I've seen that man's eyes recently, okay? He can get he can get an out if he. needs it. Who do we have pitching for. us? Cuz it feels like those middle ones.

just walk in there and are are. delivering American BP for the other. day. I mean, how do we tighten this up? And who are these people, Jed? >> Uh Ryan Yarbrough is a guy who has made. a career out of being able to start or. relieve, to typically called a swing man. and. >> your service to baseball, Ryan, I guess. Is this the guy who just. >> Yeah, he has been. >> We don't. >> Yeah, right. You know, Ryan Yarbrough is. not a guy who's who's been an All-Star. He's not somebody who.

you sit there and say is, you know, going to be one of the best pitchers in. baseball right now. He's a he's a guy. who in most circumstances you have. around to clean up some innings and not. to pitch high-leverage situations. necessarily and comes in and walks Kyle. Teel and gives up that bomb to Jack. Cagliaone right there and suddenly three. nothing's not great. Five nothing's a. whole lot worse. And then when Brad. Keller came in, things fell apart even. more. US gave up three unearned runs. You know, Keller had a double play ball,

spiked it, and Bobby Witt couldn't pick. it up at second base. The US just looked flat yesterday, Pat. And and and when when, you know, we're. going to do an autopsy of this team. eventually. And if they're out after. tonight, there're going to be a lot of. questions. And Mark DeRosa, the manager, and all the players, you know, said this. had nothing to do with it. But they were. sitting around late. They were drinking. beers. They were telling stories. They. were having a good time. And and if. you're going to do that, you got to come. back the next day and take care of.

business. And. >> if you want to If you want TO HANG WITH. THE OWLS, YOU GOT TO BE ABLE TO SOAR. WITH THE EAGLES. We're America. We're the actual eagles. SO. >> AND THEY CAN'T. >> I DON'T LIKE that this is. Ty actually has a few questions for you. And I'll tell you what, I don't know if. you heard him over there. He was hitting. a dry erase board whenever I was asking. some questions on some things that he. would like to get off of his chest, I do. believe. >> Jet, he is a uh he's a dear friend of. the program. He was incredibly. hospitable and couldn't have been nicer. when we were out in uh Arizona. Mark. DeRosa is the man.

But. >> [laughter]. >> after putting his foot in his mouth. about a hundred times yesterday and. saying, you know, like, "Yeah, we want. to win this game, but our ticket's. already punched to the quarterfinal.". And then the MLB and World Baseball. Classic says, "Oh boy, we got to rip. that thing off the internet real quick.". Uh. in your opinion, how much heat does he. deserve? And also, Tone had a good. question. What At what point do you. think he realized, "Oh boy, our ticket. is not punched." Was it like the eighth.

inning when he had Kershaw up in the pen. and then someone was [laughter] like, "Hey, sit him down and put Mason Miller up, okay? We we cannot give up any more. runs.". Uh I'm just sh- I cannot believe we lost. that game last night. How much. of the blame do you think Mark DeRosa. deserves and how How do you think. Uh what what kind of fallout is there. going to be from this? Cuz a lot of. people on the internet, they want his. head to roll. Not just as the, you know, Team USA manager,

they don't want to see him on. MLB TV, EITHER. YEAH, THEY'RE COMING after his morning. show. >> I'm driving, WE'RE FLYING HOME FROM. NASHVILLE, and Gumpy's just READING OFF. TWEETS. OH, NO, THEY'RE SAYING, "D-RO, more like D-no more TV for me." Like. they they was just like the internet was. just. It was a long night for him. Once again, Aaron Judge, who we love, had the opportunity. Bryce Harper had the opportunity. There. was a couple, but that was all so late. It feels like, "Boy, we really missed a. lot of things." He's going to take the.

blame for that. It feels like he Mark. DeRosa is taking a lot of blame, and. then to your point, he did say, "Boy's. walking in here a little slow today.". So, you say sluggish start, it was like. the night before. >> They also interviewed him during the. game, and to Jet's point, like Ryan. Yarbrough, who is a good, you know, swingman, but he's not an All-Star like. DeRosa was like, "Yeah, we need. Yarbrough to just eat a couple innings. here, cuz I think he was assuming, "Hey, we don't want to burn any of our. top-flight arms. Let's just let this guy. kind of, you know, take a couple innings. out, and then obviously you see what. happens." Like we didn't really come.

with our, you know, our elite guys that. we really needed to have in a situation. like that. >> Connor, you okay? Geez Louise. >> I mean, this is what happens. We can't. have anything nice. We try We try We're. trying. I love baseball. I'm still in on. baseball and Red. Red Sox players are doing really well. Red Sox players are doing great. We got. baseball bats. Mark Mark DeRosa is damn near Benedict. Arnold at this point. >> No, he is not. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING. JET, CAN YOU PLEASE GET US BACK off of. this?

>> We like Mark. Love Mark, the guy. I hate. him as a manager. I know that for sure now. But I love the guy. I I I want to see. him every day in here. I don't want to. see him on in the dugout. Not my dugout. No chance. >> Please, Jet, can you soften all this at. least if it's supposed to be, you think? >> I'm going to try and walk you guys just. through what I know and what I. >> No, Jet. We need to be walked off of. this is all the We need TO GET OFF.

>> OFF THE PLANE, JET. ROLL IT. >> I WAS WALKING YOU TO THE RIGHT PLACE, PAT. BUT CONNOR WOULD shut up. Ty won't. stop being angry. You're pissed and. sitting there with this look on your. face like boo-hoo. >> I'm thinking about getting rid of this. I'M THINKING ABOUT GETTING RID OF THIS. >> I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE SAYING ANYTHING. ABOUT THIS. >> YOU KNOW THE CAGLIONE BACKFLIP? YOU KNOW. THE Caglione backflip? This thing's. almost taking a few of these today, all. right? And I'm talking about how I WAS. FEELING. >> [laughter]. >> I ALMOST SAID I'M GOING TO SAY I'M NOT. DOING BASEBALL EVER AGAIN. WE CAN'T DO. NICE THINGS. $5,000 MINUS 1,100 ON USA.

to beat ITALY IN THE. >> ITALIANS? >> THE ITALIANS WE I. SORRY. >> That was a bad bet. >> They're saying worst of all time. >> [laughter]. >> It's really bad. >> Please, Jet. >> I told you that, too. >> Okay, Jet. Everybody's so smart. Everybody's so smart. Okay. >> good boy? >> Bad yesterday. >> please talk It was It was good. >> It was good bad at 6:00. >> JUST LOOKING FOR DUBS IN THE CHAT. That's all I was looking for. Just a. little positive cuz I was missing on. Everybody's hitting home runs. Everybody's hitting home runs, but. weren't the guys I was betting on. >> Italy can't even spell baseball. >> They added a thing. >> Minus 1,100, Pat? What are you doing?

>> Trust me, a lot. >> IT WAS AN AUTOMATIC WIN. >> YEAH. >> [laughter]. >> THAT'S THE PICK OUT TO SPEND THAT 454. ON. >> That's what. Bingo. I had a I had a. dinger parlay that was coming in the. next round. >> Yeah. >> Oh my BCA. This guy shows up. This guy. was outrageous. Look at this sure fire. investment. That's our entire baseball. team. I had no idea they could do that. Okay? Johnny Pizza's here. What's his. name? It's at the bottom there. Luigi. Primo. This guy's going to be a world. champ cuz of what he could do with that. dough. >> He was actually catching that night.

>> And hit. >> Yeah. >> Sorry, Jet. If you could please get us. off of Luigi Promo and back to on. baseball, we'd be appreciative of that. >> facts. >> All right. So, let's let's walk through. everything happened yesterday. Mark. DeRosa goes on the Hot Stove show 9:45. in the morning says we've punched our. ticket to the quarterfinals. Now, he. later told us, a group of reporters, that he did not realize until he had. gotten to the ballpark that he had said.

that mistakenly. Now, he said the night. before he met with Michael Hill, who's. the general manager for Team USA, and. that they had gone over all of the. scenarios and that he knew exactly what. Team USA needed to do. I've known Mark. DeRosa a long time. I have no reason to. believe that he is a liar. He's never. been like that to me, but. at the same time there were a number of. decisions that were made yesterday going. into that game, whether it's sitting. Alex Bregman down, sitting Bryce Harper.

down, sitting Bryce Turang down in the. lineup, bringing Yarbrough in when he. did as opposed to going to some higher. leverage relief guys to try and allow. the score to stay a little bit closer. rather than have an eight-nothing. deficit that you have to claw back from. Getting Clayton Kershaw up, and his. explanation for that I I think actually. makes sense. There's a 25-pitch limit. for a relief pitchers in the WBC. Um, and if David Bednar, who is in the. eighth inning, had reached that, DeRosa.

didn't want to go to Mason Miller, his. closer, and then do what's called an. up-down where you go up for an inning, sit down, and then go back out there. You know, a lot of the decisions that. are made in the World Baseball Classic. are not made by the managers. They're. made by the teams that these players. play for. Michael Lorenzen, who threw. four and two-thirds shutout innings for. Team Italy yesterday, just absolutely. carved up the United States lineup. He. was supposed to pitch today against. Mexico. They were going to piggyback him.

and Aaron Nola cuz Italy believed that. this was a must-win game for them. Uh, but the Colorado Rockies, who. Lorenzen plays for, said, "No, no, no, you can't do that. We need to keep you. on rotation, on schedule. You have to. pitch against Team USA." So, the the way. that all of this coalesced and it played. out on the internet and and the fallout. from it, it it's been a disaster, an. unmitigated disaster of a 24 hours for. Team USA. And and frankly, like when you.

look at all of this, the the question is. not just about Mark DeRosa, it's about. USA Baseball, it's about the coaching. staff, it's about the adults in the. room, the people who are supposed to be. in charge, and what the players should. know. And look, players were making. plans for Miami, man. Like they they were. They were looking. forward to going to Miami for the. semi-finals. Now, they needed to win a. quarterfinal game first, so. uh there was that and that's going to be. in Houston, but they believed that they.

were going to be going there and they. believed that they were going to win. this whole tournament, that they were. going to beat the Dominican Republic or. Japan if necessary. And. hey, it's uh you know, it's a bad bad. day for Team USA, but they're not dead yet. The you know, if Italy can win tonight, uh USA. advances. If Mexico wins tonight, uh and. scores five or more runs, then USA. advances. So, there are still. opportunities for redemption here, but.

it's like Aaron Judge said, it's it's. hard when you have things in your hands. and then you fumble it and you leave it. in someone else's hands. It's it's a. paralyzing feeling knowing that the. future of this team that believed it was. going to be a champion rests on Italy. and Mexico. And and by the way, Italy. and Mexico teams that hate the United. States and would love nothing more than. to be the ones who oust them from the. tournament. >> Okay. Okay, on that note, Connor has the.

last question for you here, Jed. >> Yeah, Jet. Are we confident that Mexico. and Italy aren't going to do some sort. of backdoor, you know, behind-the-scenes. [laughter]. handshake deal like HEY. YEAH, YOU LAUGH AND IT DOESN'T make me. feel better. Yeah, zero-zero. We'll strike everybody out and then. Jarren Duran will come up in the bottom. of the ninth, hit a one solo home run, and then Mexico wins. >> lay Or just lay lay down just lay down a. bunt. >> Yeah, just do a bunt home run right. there. >> Are we sure that won't happen? Cuz the.

over/under's also at eight and that. doesn't make me feel good. >> No, that is not. >> It's It's not an ideal situation for the. US. I'll say this that. Italy's relief pitching is in a tough. position right now. Mexico's relief. pitching is in the top position right. now. So, I do think this is probably. going to be a higher-scoring game. I do. have a little WBC news. for for the the program. And And this is. not big news by any means, but Italy. lost its catcher Kyle Teel last night.

to a hamstring pull. And I don't know if. you guys remember when Doug Mirabelli. Connor, you might remember this. Doug. Mirabelli gets a police escort to go and. play a game for the Red Sox. Right now, Mickey Gasper a Red Sox backup catcher, a paisano who was at Red Sox camp this. morning is on route to Houston and could. potentially be in the lineup for Team. Italy tonight as their starting catcher.

as they look to clinch Pool B and and. win this whole thing and go to the court. final. >> I don't love that we're shipping people. in for this game that could be cooked. for us, but on that note. >> Benedict sucks. >> We're trying to help Italy win, YOU. FOOL. >> [laughter]. >> AND IF ITALY WINS, WE WE WIN, TONE. If. you remember the gravity. >> Who struck out Judge last night? Who. does he play for? >> Sorry, Red Sox players are playing good. >> Uh. >> [laughter]. >> hey, listen, Canada. >> Sorry. >> I'll tell you what, if we don't make it.

out of pool play and [laughter] Canada. does, man, we're going to have to try to bury that. conversation as fast as possible cuz. it's going to be thrown in our face. >> We got hockey. They can take baseball. >> Oh, exactly. Well, okay. All right. Jet, we. appreciate you. Hopefully that doesn't. happen. Hopefully. Also, hey, Mexico. Let's have a. dong party today. >> Yeah, exactly. Italy. >> Let's hit some dongs out here. >> Eat some guy We're all Italian TODAY. >> YES, SIR. >> WHEN the moon hits your eyes like a big.

piece of pie, that's amore. WE NEED AMORE HOME RUNS TODAY. AND ALSO, we need amore of them How about their. Are they always play like that? I'm. watching them gun people OUT OF FIRST. GUY DOES A FULL SPLIT LIKE HE'S A. gymnast at first base last night. What's. his name? >> Vinny Pasquantino. >> Oh, of course. PAS- VINNY PAS- YEAH. >> VINNY SPLITS. Vinny splits. >> Vinny splits out there doing that thing. And then the. shortstop, second base, which one's. which? >> Uh, Pasquantino.

Shortstop is not next to the first base. He's next to third base. >> Okay, whatever the case. Sorry in there. These throws THAT THESE UNBELI-. EVERYTHING WAS A STRIKE. It It felt They. were on their. >> Big time. >> What's in that espresso? Mhm. That's what I want to know. >> Yeah, cuz I know baseball has a little. history of potentially adding a little. haha before you dada, you know? >> That's a great point. Their manager, Frank Cervelli, who is a Yankee great, actually got popped for steroids. So, something to maybe look into. >> Are we trying to protest? Do we protest. that game last night? >> I don't know. There's caffeine in the.

espresso, guys. Come on. >> I'd like to Okay, that must be nice. Caffeine's what's beating America in. baseball. Okay. >> [laughter]. >> All right. I'm sure that's what it is. All right, we appreciate you, Jet. You're the man. Thank you. >> Thank you, boys. >> Ciao. Jet. Come on, Italy. >> [applause]. >> Come on, Italy. We're going to start second hour with. the Italian national anthem by the way. >> Whoa, whoa, whoa. I ain't doing that. I'm sitting for that one, I know that. >> Tom, take a knee. >> [laughter].

>> That's right. I'm I'm getting a. newspaper. I'm right here. >> [laughter]. >> We need them. We are in alliance today. We need them. >> Never. I will It'll be a silent alliance. for me. >> I hate that I'm losing baseball. I was. just getting into it. >> Good run. >> Dude, I think we did have a good run. >> Why did he have to say that? Why did he have to say that? And then. for Jet to come on I was about to come. back around on DeRosa. And then Jet. comes on here and says, "I didn't. realize I said that yesterday." Are you. kidding me, Mark?

Come on, Mark. >> What do you mean? He's just having a. good time. He's shooting with the. Hot Stove. He was in the kitchen. >> rooting for you so hard. You just You. You let us down. >> [laughter]. >> Nothing else needs to be said. >> Well said. >> All right. >> He did let us down. >> The boys, if they get in they're going. to win. >> Yes. >> That's how I feel. >> And if they don't? >> I'll never I'll never watch the. World Baseball Classic again if they get. out of pool play. I'll This will be my. final voyage. >> What are the odds on DR?

>> Dominican Republic might be the team we. start watching, but not cuz we love it, just cuz we have to. And boy, they are. electrifying. They wouldn't HAVE LOST. ITALY. OH, TWO ON THE OTHER SIDE. GOODBYE. >> IT'S electrifying here in Happy Valley. We're lucky to be here. And. you know, the way you win this is you. have. Be the first 300 people here and you get. a ticket. And then we randomly select a. ticket and that person gets an. opportunity to kick a 33-yard field goal. for an undetermined amount of money.

This week, we had our man William. Right, what's your name? >> William, yes, sir. >> You won the raffle and you said, "I. don't want to kick because I suck at. kicking." Is that accurate? >> More or less. >> What is your major here? >> I'm a finance major. >> Okay, so money decision was I suck at. this. Let me try to find somebody who's. good at this. How did you land on my man. here and what are your hopes in him? >> Well, I was looking around. I saw my. man. He said he plays soccer and I was. like, this is my guy right here. My guy. Carson, I have faith in him so I know.

he's going to get it done. >> All right, you're Carson, right? You. played high school soccer, is that. accurate? >> I did play high school soccer. >> Where are you from? >> I'm from Hanover, Pennsylvania. >> Okay, you're a Pennsylvania guy. Have. you ever kicked a ball before? >> Other than foot not football, soccer. >> Okay. Well, hopefully you're terrible at. this. It's $100,000. Are you guys splitting that 50/50? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay, so we'll make it. $300,000. $150,000 for both of you. >> [cheering]. >> Okay? You only get one kick though. You've.

gained the ticket game, which I. appreciate respect. It's up to $300,000. 150 for both of you. Only one kick. though, Herbie. We're not doing. anything. I don't care how many staters. chant for another kick. Only one, Herbie. Played high school. soccer, he's a good player. >> We got a problem here. >> That's right. It's a white out. It could. be a special day. YOU CAN HELP OUT YOUR. GUY WILLIAM in winning $150,000. ONE KICK!

300,000. in two! >> [cheering]. [cheering]. [cheering]. >> DISMISSED, HERBIE. CARSON. HERBIE, CONGRATULATIONS!

>> Hello, beautiful people. And welcome back to our humble abode. >> The Thunder Dome. >> on this Sports Are Awesome Wednesday, March 11th, 2026. [music] Outro of the. program begins now. Sports. >> are fantastic and there's [music] so. much to talk about. I I mean, Max Crosby. is not a Raven anymore. He's back to the. Raiders. Was that some shady business? Well, Dr. David Chao told us in the. first hour, uh uh teams can do that. Never seen it.

before, but uh at this level with uh two. number ones and it being a guy like Max. Crosby, feels kind of amateurish, but. yeah, teams can kind of predict if he's. failing a physical now or if in the. future he would potentially fail a. physical, especially for the value in. which they're paying him. Said it's on. the books, it's in the NFL books, it has. happened before at lower level, never at. something to this magnitude. Now, the. Raiders who are making a lot of. decisions with the mindset of having two. number ones from the Ravens and also a. lot of space cap-wise without Max Crosby.

and also some holes to fill. While they. certainly did that during the free. agency frenzy, they put our assignment. Ravens backed out. All right, next. I. don't know what to tell you. Max Crosby, first person in the Raiders. facility this morning 6:00 a.m. Back to. rehab, getting healthy, doing his thing. Everybody knew he wasn't 100% healthy. whenever he was going to do anything. here, whenever he announced that he was. moving on from the Raiders or when Jay. Glazer announced that their time was. potentially ending. We knew he had. surgery, we knew that he was going to. potentially be injured. So, the fact. that the Ravens made the big play for. him, made the big splash for him, he's a.

Raven, everybody celebrated, and then. doctor comes back and says he's not. healthy. I think a lot of us go, "Well, uh uh uh. uh uh.". And then he signed Trey Hendrickson for. 150 million at the same position while. keeping two first-rounders. Hard not to. go like, this feels like there was a. little foul. Is it foul? Doctor Dave Chahds like, "Not foul. Law will do that. House. escrow, put the money up, then he can. count out 14 days, he can kind of back. out of it." So, I I don't know, how come. nobody else does it then? They're like, "Uh.". Can't tell you that reason. I'm I'm. sorry, it's possible. So, interesting. times for the Ravens and maybe football. gods telling Max Crosby, you're supposed.

to be a Raider forever. And with how. they built that team and with how we. feel Fernando's going to be, maybe this. is going to be the best Raiders that. they've ever been. Then in baseball, America loses to Italy, we've talked. about that enough, it's pretty. depressing. And then basketball's. happening, college basketball. championship week is currently taking. place. There's a lot of magic everywhere. and we're lucky to be covering it all. Sports are the greatest, let's never. forget that, even though. it can be heartbreaking at times. Talk. to Tempest here at Boss Column and at Ty. Schmit. Ty, did you get everything off. your chest in the first hour? Are you. feeling better about yourself, bub? >> Uh no, cuz we lost last night. And um I. just you know, again, I can't.

I can't stress this enough. I love. DeMarlo. Okay. >> He's a great guy. >> Okay. Someone needs to be held accountable. >> And I'm and and and our players, you. know, those guys needed to perform, but. when you spot a team who has multiple. guys who play in the MLB, I think. there's 21 MLB guys on the Italian. squad, all Americans. Uh, you know, I when you get in those. situations and you spot a team like that. eight runs, like guess what? These guys.

are pros, too. We kind of talk about it. in the NFL, you know, we're not playing. >> Great Britain wasn't. >> No. >> Why weren't we doing this against them? Why why did we pick to do the Italy one. where we have the guys who can't pitch. right? >> What were we doing last night? >> Do you remember? Well, that's that's. also not an excuse, you know, you. What did these guys each drink 150. beers? The game was at 9:00, you. know? [laughter]. >> Well, the mayor's telling stories. >> Well, exactly. That is possible. >> But we tried. >> Maybe it is. Maybe he's too Maybe he. lights up the room too much. >> I can see that.

>> Sean Casey, the mayor. One of the coaches of Team USA, too good. of a storyteller. Boys didn't want to go. to bed tonight. >> He's a great storyteller. >> He's a great storyteller. >> He's from Pittsburgh. >> Talking about Jim Leyland all night and. then, you know, >> DB weekly telling. >> Exactly. But we tried to win those. games. DeMarlo clearly thought we didn't need. to win last night and the decisions he. made and the lineup he put out there and. the pitchers he decided to go to kind of. illuminated that. And you know, the boys. fought tooth and nail. >> It was actually reported that it was.

Sean Casey's fault. So, Jose his. >> [laughter]. >> In a Team USA full of great. storytellers, coach Sean Casey, future. Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw and Kyle. Schwarber maybe the best storytellers. According to DeMarlo and Bobby Witt Jr., Team USA pushed his bus past midnight. because Sean Casey was on what we like. to call a heater. >> That's what he does. >> The tongue That's why he's the mayor. He's at first base just talking to. everybody, KNOWING EVERYBODY'S STORIES. HE'S ABSOLUTELY CRUSHING IT. THEY JUST. BEAT WHO'D THEY beat the game before? >> Uh, Mexico. >> And what what did I WE AND WE PUNCH OUR. TICKETS. I ALREADY TOLD YOU THE ONE.

>> OKAY. >> EXACTLY. >> And then we start sitting down. >> And do another. >> And now he he was batting coach for the. Yankees, right? >> Yes. >> YEAH, AARON, TELL THEM ABOUT THE OKAY. >> TELL ME SOMETHING. YOU TELL ME. >> SO NOW SO NOW WE'RE MOVING. Schwarber. gets in there. >> Oh. >> Oh. >> He starts peppering in a little bit. >> Mhm. >> Clayton Kershaw, we've been around him. >> A lot of stories, these guys. >> Oh my god. And then Sean Casey SAID, "OH, THAT REMINDS ME." AND HE goes. >> Chapman feeling. >> These guys go from 11:59 to 2:34 5:00. a.m. >> They said once they got to the hotel, it.

continued as well. >> See, they're too good of a [laughter]. too tight of a team. >> So. >> So, this is what happens when you put. the boys in charge. D-Ro and Sean and. Dino's out there doing his thing. >> Dino was in bed by 11:00. I know it. >> Uh, Dino was with the boys. I If I had. to guess, so was Andy Pettitte, I bet. This is the problem. They became too. tight of a team. And then whenever they. didn't have the full direction of like, "Hey, we still got to kill. We don't. have like a best-of-seven series here.". This is a This is a one-night-only type. of situation. They got caught. That's. what happens. These These greats got. caught in camaraderie and expectation.

that maybe we'll have another day cuz. they thought maybe they did. >> Yeah. >> And they should. Three and one, two. teams making it. How are you not How are. you not in it? >> Exactly. How does the host country not. automatically into the quarterfinals? >> It's like the. >> That's a great question. We're giving up. all these baseball stadiums, everything. We created the thing. And now we can't. even get in the. >> when the Soviets were out boozing the. night before the miracle cuz they. thought they. >> Casey talks about that. They were They. were very healthy. They were hydrated. They were not boozed up at all. Nine-year NFL vet Derek Stingley Butler,

we're starting to become baseball fans. >> Now we're LOOKING FOR A HANDOUT PLAYOFF. >> HE PLAYED CATCH FOR HALF HOUR YESTERDAY. He said, "I'll never stop.". >> I loved it, man. I do wish I would have. tried it out, but uh you mentioned. Heater and uh I know we got a guest. coming up, but last night, you know, I. did have a good sports night for me as a. Miami Heat fan. Bam Adebayo. >> Oh, yeah. Congratulations. >> 83 points, uh. >> [applause]. >> some say all time in an NBA game. >> Nobody said that. >> second most, you know, with a little. asterisk next to Wilt's 100 points, but.

now he passed Kobe Bryant with 83. >> But that feels like a big statement. right there. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on.

Hold on. Hold on. Hold. on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. >> We just corrected who's telling the. stories late night there and potentially. getting the boys camaraderie through it. all. a level that we never could have. expected, but also sleep levels a little. bit low. You said something about Wilt. not scoring 100 points? >> Some people question that. >> Who? >> Just people. People who.

>> You? You? You? You, Dwyane? >> Uh I'm just saying people, but right now. >> saying this wasn't enough? >> Wait a minute. >> Hey, we haven't seen the video. And I. know what, you know, we know the. stories, you know, the NBA wasn't this, wasn't that, you know, they didn't have. live cameras, whatever. But hey, this is. about Bam, all right? Wilt's Wilt. Kobe, rest in peace. He had the great 81 that. we all saw, but Bam had his 83 last. night, which was unbelievable. He had 43. at the half, obviously 40 in the second. half. So, 43 in the first half all very.

ethical buckets. Now, you go and you can. start nitpicking in the fourth quarter. Yes, the team, the coach. >> Nitpicking. >> Everybody was trying to get him the. record. 36 free throws. Yeah, they were. fouling. He was getting buckets. He was. getting to the paint. Wife he was in the. building. Mama was in the building. It. was a great night for Bam. Dwyane talked. a little about it not being buzzing. Miami. Spo, you know, he got the boys. boys going and then Captain Bam, I. believe this is ninth year in Miami. Also became the second player ever in. Miami history to cross 10,000 points a. couple nights ago. So, for him to do.

this, this is unbeli- I don't care 83 LA. Fitness men's league, YMCA college. league, do this on NBA court, this is. unbelievable. >> Congratulations to Bam. I don't think I. immediately think whenever I think of. bucket getters, I think of Bam Adebayo. So, for him to go for 83, congratulations to him. You said first. half all ethical buckets is how you. described it. Incredible way to describe. [laughter] what everybody was kind of. talking about cuz 43 free throws I think. I heard. white chocolate J Will was quoted as. saying, "I don't think I shot 43 free.

throws in my career, let alone in one. night." That is an absurd amount of free. throws. >> Yeah. >> So is that what's is that is that what. Bam basketball is? Is Bam getting fouled. a lot and then he's knocking down 36 out. of 43? >> That's hard. >> That's not hard. >> Fantastic. >> That's what you do. >> Unbelievable But what if he goes. what if he has a night from the stripe. where he's just like unconscious and he. puts up another what seven more points? He'd have 90. Now all of a sudden you start thinking. will he have 100? Maybe. >> Maybe maybe. >> You start I I was a Wilt did not.

>> Then. >> 20 of 43. >> I mean 20 of 43 Wilt was yeah Wilt. >> And I'm like maybe Wilt was and then. somebody's putting some AI videos. together or real video of Wilt playing. basketball and his teammates were. shooting and Wilt was jumping and. catching. and actually putting it in the hoop and. it's like maybe Wilt did. >> Oh I haven't seen that. >> No that was AI I think saying this is. how Wilt got to 100 but Bam doing 83. congratulations man. >> That's a real. >> That's awesome. >> It's good to see he held the paper up. You know carry on the tradition.

>> Joining us now is a man we haven't. talked to in a few days. Yeah you're. right cuz that cannot be edited either. in the future and Gumpy good call down. there. Thank you for pointing out that's. good journalism as well as we're here on. the ESPN news.

It was. awesome awesome show to watch so you. guys killed it. It was it was fun. I. mean Dano I see Dano getting run on. shows this morning about him not being.

able to get a bucket which he eventually. got one. I mean his toe was on the line. but he still made it. >> Okay so I didn't see the toe on the line. in real time I should have called that. out certainly but yeah he's getting. mocked real good. They They him Dan. Brickorlovsky on the NFL Live. Had an entire stripe around the whole. studio. I mean it was a whole thing and. the thing they're not even seeing is. right before we went to break he missed. a layup, too. So, everybody's talking. about him shooting. Right before you go. to break, if you were to rewatch that, he misses a layup like right into the. side of the rim like classic eighth. grade maybe YMCA type jumping off wrong.

foot basketball. This is them yesterday. on. Yeah, I mean they were killing this guy. Yeah, it I would like to say off camera. he shot for 2 hours. in his suit like a 12-year-old. He was out here doing his squeaks picked. up as soon as he walked in grabbed a. baseball and a mitt just started. throwing it as loud as he could. Right here right here off of my head. right here trying to piece things. together. Hey, how's this all going to. work? I don't know Dan. What do. you. What do you guys want me to do Dan? >> [laughter]. >> I know we're trying to figure that out. right now Dan. So, Dan Dan was active in.

here. We loved his energy in here and I. would assume anybody that's around him. thinks he is hilarious because man he is. like a 12-year-old who happens to have. great football IQ and a great football. resume and can deliver it well and will. give it to you about anything whatever. you need however you need it. But his. athletic performance was certainly. something we thought would be much. better. AJ we missed you but we did have. a man in here that was breaking all the. news and yesterday because he came out. and he actually had to do it on on a. plane and it feels like they're flying. his ass on coach. I don't know how that. works at this point especially with how.

much he's getting paid. He could. personally update or upgrade himself. chooses not to cuz he's a dog. Ladies. and gentlemen the man has been on top of. it all for us and for the football. world. Man who won Free Agency Senior. NFL Insider for ESPN Adam Schefter. Schefty good to see you dude. I. appreciated you working in that plane. and we did have a picture of you that. got sent in the group text and people. zoomed in on your left hand and it's. actually in a full fist you know. >> [laughter]. >> We know that you are in the middle of a. lot of things. Danno's posting you and. blasting you all over the place. A lot.

happened last night that we could have. never expected in all your years had you. ever seen anything like this and how do. we get to this Max Crosby point with the. Ravens basically. saying now we don't think his physical. is good now or potentially in the future. for what we're investing in him. We'd. like to back out of the trade. Have you. ever seen something this magnitude and. how did we get here, Schefty? >> Well, I think when you look at the. biggest trades in NFL history and this. would qualify being that I think there. were 15 trades made that involved at. least two first-round draft picks, this.

being one. None of them ever was voided. or nullified due to a. physical that did not work out. in the opinion of one team. And so you. see the Raiders make the announcement. that the Ravens have backed out of the. agreement for the trade for Max Crosby. And what this was is Max was in. Baltimore yesterday and the Ravens. doctors took a physical. They looked at. the MRI. Other doctors looked at the. MRIs including the Dallas Cowboys. doctor, Dr. Cooper, who performed the. surgery on Patrick Mahomes and Malik.

Neighbors and who teams and players. around the league use on a regular. basis. And after the Ravens got all the. feedback that they could from multiple. doctors, they decided that they were not. comfortable moving forward the trade. Now I know people feel like, okay, they. got cold feet, Trey Hendrickson. Again, they had the medical information. that they felt. did not make them comfortable. And in. speaking to Dr. Neal ElAttrache who. performed the surgery on Max Crosby, he. said that Max Crosby just had the.

surgery. 8 weeks ago. He's been on crutches for 7. weeks. He's been off crutches for the. first time a week ago and he. acknowledged that Max is where he should. be in his recovery. He's coming along, but that if you were going to do a. physical at this time of the year, it was always going to be an issue like. this because. it's meniscus, it's bone, it's. cartilage, it's a few different things. So it's a pretty significant injury, but.

Max Crosby's where he should be and he's. going to be back and he's going to be. balling, but. >> I like that. Balling. >> have two first-round draft picks. The. analogy I used this morning and and and. I heard Dr. Chao explain like it, so I. guess it's probably old now, but I said. on Get Up this morning, you bought a. house, you bring in the inspector, the. inspector says the the roof is leaking, the foundation's cracked, you could buy. it, but I I have some concerns. And the. Ravens are like, you know what? The. concerns we heard are enough to give us. pause for two first-round draft picks. and the money that would be involved, and they said no deal.

>> That didn't end much like I told Dr. David Chao. If the Empire State Building. was for sale and some super famous. person bought it and it was a big. celebration everywhere, and then all of. a sudden the super famous person that. bought it said, "Actually, one of these. pipes leaks. I'm out of here." That. would certainly be a big deal. So, a. little bit different than just a random. human buying a house and putting their. money in the escrow trying to find. something wrong with it. This was a huge. deal. Elite player, elite organization. This feels kind of amateur, to be. honest. And then with what Dr. Neal. ElAttrache, who we have a lot of respect. for, the Achilles factory over there. in Southern California, we He's a.

handsome lad, too. >> Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. >> Super well-dressed. I mean, he is a. fantastic individual. We are big Neal. ElAttrache fans. What he said was almost. hammering down the point that we're all. thinking. They were going to fail. physical. He's like, yeah, he's going to. fail physical. Daniel Jones is going to. fail physical today. He just signed a. thing with the We all knew he was. injured. Wasn't that kind of a part of. the entire thing? Were they potentially. snooping for it? Then that follows up to. the Trey Hendrickson signing. Congratulations, by the way. I know. you're on the on that for the entirety. for 112 million. Our source says are.

telling that us that Trey Hendrickson. was basically thinking about playing. alongside Max, right? Like. But the decision to go with Trey and. keep both first-round picks is certainly. what the public narrative is. So, I. think it's a fascinating little. situation where it felt like the Ravens. were definitely talking about having Max. and Trey, but then they pull out of the. Max deal and get Trey, and everybody's. like, "Oh, they Max for Trey.". How should we kind of read this, you. think, Schefty? >> Well, I think that's exactly it. Trey.

said that his understanding was when he. was thinking of going to Baltimore, the. idea was to team up with Max Crosby, and. I don't think he was particularly. thrilled that the Max Crosby trade fell. through. He was looking forward, if he. opted for the Baltimore offer, in the. midst of his discussions with multiple. teams, to play with Max Crosby. That was. his initial impression. So, again, I. think he's happy to get his business. taken care of first and foremost, but. I think it started out when the. conversation first started, he thought. that there was a real possibility he was. going to be playing with Max Crosby if.

that was the route he went. Obviously, he was talking to a number of teams. The Baltimore offer was the one he took. Obviously, Baltimore stepped up after. the Max Crosby situation. And here we are. >> Yeah, that's fascinating. All of it's. interesting, and we'll never really get. the truth from behind closed doors on. why it happened what, because different. doctors can judge and deem different. doctor things, but all we know, Max. Crosby, first person in the building for. the Raiders this morning to continue. rehab. On that note, AJ has a question. for you, Schefty. >> Yeah, Schefty, with Max, I guess any of.

the teams that were in on him early. trying to get for him, are they still. actively going to try to trade for him? And if so, like, what do you think the. price tag, what does it look like? Is. there going to be a discount now with. this whole medical situation? >> Uh with Max Crosby now, he goes back to. the Raiders. The Raiders. have said that they've already gotten. several calls from teams. I go back to what Dr. ElAttrache said. The time for a physical will be a little. bit further down the line. And so, I. guess somebody could step in and offer. something now, but the likelihood that.

somebody's going to make an offer now. that compels the Raiders to deal him, like, a serious enough offer, I'm a little skeptical of. We'll see if. it happens. I think more than likely these teams are. going to come down their price, and that. might be enough enough for the Raiders. to move him. Like, they might want him. They I think they've wanted him all. along. They were apprehensive about dealing. him, and they're only going to deal him. unless they got their price. Is another. team going to continue to meet their. price, or are they better off holding on. to the player? I I think everybody's.

kind of recalibrating and adjusting. right now now that the trade is off, which nobody was expecting to happen. And I just think that Max Crosby. absolutely still could be traded later. on, but I think there's a scenario under. which he does wind up playing for Las. Vegas. >> And that would be a good thing for the. Raiders, and we think it would be a good. thing for Crosby and his uh Raiders. relationship because we love the moves. they made, and they can still afford. him. So, you add Crosby into the roster. that they just created, and we believe.

Fernando's going to be good. This could. be a great time for Max Crosby as a. Raider, and him showing up 6:00 a.m. this morning. I do think there's on his. uh sixth year of sobriety. I believe. this is the anniversary of his sixth. year of sobriety. I I assume he feels. like there is some sort of universe. messaging happening in this whole thing, and we cannot wait to watch him utilize. the spite he has from the Baltimore. Ravens saying he's not good enough now. as he's already become one of the best. in the world, okay? And what he. Everybody likes Max Crosby. Now he has. the opportunity to utilize the Baltimore. Ravens telling him he's not good enough.

as motivation again. And everybody's. going to have to eat for that, and. the Raiders are certainly going to. benefit from all that, we think. Now, if. another team comes in, they know what. the price is, right? It's two ones. You. want Max, it's two ones. If you don't, you're not going to be able to get it. Let's talk about some other moves that. could potentially happen or have been. talking about happening. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Schefty Crosby aside, we've heard. names like A.J. Brown, Jalen Carter, Bryan Thomas Jr., Jonathan Greenard. still out there. Do you anticipate Is. there like Is there any chance any of. those guys will get dealt today or in.

the coming days, or do you think because. we saw so many trades over the first. couple days of free agency frenzy that. it might kind of cool down a little bit. now? >> Yeah, I don't I don't see Bryan Thomas. We talked about that yesterday, the. Jaguars moving off him. They've been. pretty clear. The Eagles have had the. same stance as the Raiders that if they. get a price uh that they feel like is. fair, that they. can live with, that they'd be open to. listening and considering an A.J. Brown. trade. So, I think that that's always. possible and open. Jonathan Gannon, yes, the Vikings have made him available.

That wouldn't surprise me if he winds up. being traded. And who was the last thing. you asked me about? The fourth name? >> Jalen Carter. >> Yeah, they're they're the Eagles never. have shopped him. Never have shopped. him. And And that doesn't mean they. can't in the future, but they have not. made him available. >> If he was available, I mean that would certainly. that would be a place where we. we got something for you. We can go. ahead and make some moves. It seems like. there are some teams making some moves. Baltimore obviously being one of them. Go ahead, D-Butt. >> Yeah, a couple of MVP quarterbacks have. reworked their contracts recently, Josh.

Allen and Lamar Jackson. Any reason. behind that? Any moves big moves. potentially coming down the line for. either one of those teams? >> I I think it's with the Ravens it was. kind of to get under the cap. Everybody's got to be under the cap. today, so they had to make adjustments. And And the Bills have obviously been. against the cap. Um I'm sure the Bills. they'll wind up making another move or. two here. Um the Ravens obviously went for Trey. Hendrickson today. So, it's these. quarterbacks. you're just borrowing against their. contracts. You're pushing it out being.

that you know that they're going to be. there. Um it's like a line of credit and. uh you're borrowing against their. contracts cuz they're not going anywhere. just to give yourself a little bit more. flexibility right now. >> Yeah, it's not just quarterbacks. Any. high-profile, I guess, or high-costing. player as soon as the team deems you're. going to be a pillar player for us, they. can manipulate that contract how many. different ways. That feels smart. If you. miss on who that person is, though, then. you're then you're. >> Mhm. >> then you're going up that creek. >> That's right. >> Yeah, with no paddle. >> Mhm. >> And it's like, wow, this is just. That That is what happens. But, if you.

pick your pillar players properly and. you pay them long-term, you can. manipulate their stuff for going forward. and make your team much better at the. drop of a hat. Buffalo it have as much. free cash, I don't think, as was being. reported, I do I do believe. Because we. immediately thought they were going to. go get. Okay. Okay, so now you're back in and it's. like, hey, that's going to cost some. stuff there. Raiders can afford him. Now, let's talk about What's that? >> I don't see Maxx Crosby there. Oh. In Buffalo. >> Where do you see him? Do you see him in. Las Vegas? Is that the only spot you see.

him? Where do you see him? >> No, I I I think that this is a good. situation. I just I don't see Buffalo. doing that right now. >> Phil Dalhausser. >> What about the Indianapolis Colts cuz. we're in on Trey Hendrickson and we can. give them the. >> Yeah. You see that. I mean, but they. they just give a lot of I think I think. a lot of teams that are going to explore. it. A lot of teams. But you need the cap. space and you need the draft pick. capital. I I I just think the cap cap space in. Buffalo is a little tight right now. >> You've been uh I don't want to say. talking, but basically saying a deal for. Daniel Jones to keep him in Indy is. going to happen. You've been saying that.

to me literally since you got here in. Indy. It's like, are we going to have. Dan Jones or somebody else going to have. Dan Jones? You guys said they'll get it. figured out. They'll get it figured out. They'll get it figured out. Couple. reports that a deal got done. Then it. finally does get done. We talked to him. earlier. Obviously, he is pumped. He's. projected to be back by regular season, but he is also utilizing the same. surgeon that Tyreek. and Jason Tatum used for his Achilles. So, who knows what the recovery is at. this stage. It's exciting news for him. It's exciting news for us. He wasn't the. only signing though. There was another. one that popped up after we went off the. air. Go ahead, Con Man. >> Yeah, Shep, do you know the thing Schrag. said yesterday is basically, hey, Howie.

Roseman is not just going to go quietly. into the night and then end up getting. Reek Willan who was probably one of if. not the top corner of free agency. Uh. was this expected? Did you see this. coming? Were there other teams involved? And do you see any potential long-term, you know, uh deal being done with Reek. Willan at some time? Or is this going to. be like a one-year mercenary, let's go. win another Super Bowl? >> Well, I I think with Reek Willan, that. might have been the picture that Dan. posted uh before Maxx Crosby went from.

Reek Willan to Maxx Crosby on the plane. But Reek Willan was smart about this. Like, if you're going to not get the. long-term deal that you wanted in free. agency, then the best thing you could do is go. take a short-term deal in a system. that you feel like you can thrive in an. organization that should win. So Reeq. Woolen in Philadelphia playing for a. defensive coordinator Vic Fangio should. be able to thrive there with that. defense. And if that's the case, then. all of a sudden next year, he becomes. one of the top free agents available. When a guy takes a one-year deal,

obviously the long-term deal that he. wanted wasn't there. And so you push it. back one year. That's what it looks like. happened here and he put himself in a. great position to be able to have a huge. payday a year from now. >> Is Philly going to be in it again like. they are every single year? We just. assume yes, right? >> Yeah, I assume [clears throat] he should. be. It's a great signing for them. Like. like uh Shefty said, you're on a. contract year so you expect the player. to lock in and play his best ball and. then being opposite of a first-team. all-pro Quinyon Mitchell and another. all-pro Cooper DeJean in the slot. So. yeah, they got some pieces and we know. what dogs they have up front as well so.

they can definitely be right back in if. that offense can figure it out. >> We're watching them get a pick right. there against the Minnesota Vikings. Last question for us to you, Shefty, before you got to go do some politics. Towns got a question for you. >> Yeah, Shefty, the last few days we've. been talking as if it's a foregone. conclusion that Kyler Murray will be a. Minnesota Viking when the new year. starts. Um is there any world where he. is not a Minnesota Viking and what other. teams could he possibly go to? >> Well, there's always a world in this. football. league where things don't happen. We see. it every.

So there there are never absolutes, but. when you just look at the field, uh I believe that that's the most likely. landing spot for Kyler Murray. Now, that. he'll be released later today. That's. what I've been told. And once he is, other teams can step in, other teams can. talk to him, but I would think. Minnesota's going to have appeal to him. I think he's going to have appeal to. Minnesota and it's up to those two sides. to see if they could get something. worked out once he is released. >> We don't need him in Indy, okay? We got. our guy. Don't you worry about us. All.

right, Shefty, we appreciate the hell. out of you, man. We love you, brother. Keep going and thank you for all your. work. >> Thank you for the time this week. It was. a great honor to be with everybody. >> Hey, when do you take a nap? After. league meetings or when's that happen? >> Last night was a tough night. So, I. didn't really get much sleep at all. >> Well, we want to let you know we. appreciate you battling out there for. the good of ball. But what what does the schedule look. like here? Oh, never mind. You're on something. right now. Never mind. >> no, no. The schedule is the schedule as it. always is. Like it's just the league. never stops. So, that's how it is. After.

the draft it'll quiet down. >> All right. We'll see you in Pittsburgh, good man. Schefty's got a lot going on, man. He. >> Schefty's like a coach. He's a coach. He's going to die with two phones in his. hands. Like he's never going to stop. [laughter] He's never going to be able. to get out of the game. >> Yeah. >> When he retires, just two Candy Crushes. just to kind of get his fix. >> On the day that I die, hope they find me. >> American Pie. >> I got two guitars.

and my. >> Miss American. >> That's a what? 10-minute song. We could. sing it right now and kind of get. through this entire show. >> Or we could do Meat Loaf. >> I saw some good music last night, dude. I saw some really good music last night. >> Craig. >> Craig Morgan, Redneck Yacht Club. >> Yeah, he didn't sing that, but he sang a. bunch of He He crushed it. He was. phenomenal. Lainey Wilson last night. Ernest performed spectacularly. There. was Leanne this Southern comedian lady. She was awesome. >> Yeah, I've seen her pop up a lot, yeah. She's very popular. >> She was very funny. She could just read.

like a telephone book it feels like, you. know. She had a super Southern accent. Yeah, like she the way she I mean, she. was funny as And then Jelly Roll. went out there and performed. I mean, we had a full concert last. night. It was spectacular. We're staying. in this Grand Ole Opry place and. obviously this is like the Southerns. This is it. It's like Augusta. It's like. Augusta is the sports one and then the. Grand Ole Opry is like the Southern. music one. And getting a chance to walk. through there, I got a tour. I I in. 1937, obviously there's a lot going on. in the world, they were deemed the Grand. Ole Opry was a show that used to run out.

of the Ryman Auditorium. So, the Ryman. Auditorium also in. in Nashville still exists, still its own. functioning theater. The Grand Ole Opry was a show that was. operated out of the Ryman and it kind of. showcased country music to the country. 1937, 1920-something, they built their. own place, their own facility. They took. a circle of Ryman's wood from the stage. and put it in the middle of the Grand. Ole Opry to kind of pay tribute to the. Ryman as they built their own like. country music museum. I think in 1937. they got essential business cuz they. were on radio. So, they were broadcast.

out of the 39 states and multiple. countries on AM during the war and it. basically it was for barn dancing is. what it was. We were barn dance, we. broadcast from this barn, we broadcast. from this barn. It was called barn. dancing. So, then everybody wanted to. come basically to get onto that channel. and that's kind of how they kind of. built up everything. So, the Grand Ole. Opry is considered, I believe, one of. the birthplaces of like country music. being, you know, a a thing to get people. by. And you walk through there and the. amount of names that are on the walls, it's like, oh, everybody. And then. there's some people walking around there. with different crews that don't even.

know Haggard. >> What? What? >> You're kidding me. >> Yeah. Well, Gumpy certainly not one of. them, right, Gumpy? We we don't ever We. don't ever show up at a place and not. know. the the icons that. >> Right. >> busted their ass so that we could be. where we are. A lot of pictures. >> A lot of pictures. >> Yeah. >> Of Haggard. >> Of course. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. Young Willie. >> Saw young Willie Nelson. >> Saw Toby. >> Boy. Your Yankee ass walking around in there. and don't really know all these things. that you're kind of taught since you. were a little baby baby down there in.

the south. >> Like Bone. >> And all of a sudden you B-. Bone's from Illinois. I think he had. some trouble even last night. There's a. couple, you know, these southerners like. to have their moment down there. Like, hey, who's. >> Who's this again? >> Who's this right here? And you know, it's like, oh, okay. >> They're trying to quiz They're trying to. quiz you to see what you know? >> Oh, yeah. Well, I immediately fire. first. Like, for instance, first time. seeing Duck in a while and obviously. Laney it was my first time meeting her. in person. She crushed. Her and Jelly. sang, her and Ernest sang, she sang I. mean it was she's world class in what. she does. Incredible southern accent too. I mean.

holy We are deep in her. Soon as I. see Duck though, I immediately tell him. I heard you don't know Haggard. You [laughter] know, just kind of just. kind of set the tone, you know, in that. whole thing. He gets offended. immediately that I even said that. And. then all of a sudden now we're getting. into the oh super famous person from. country music just walked right in front. of us. Who's that? Who Who's that? Oh, I. love what they've done. I love So it's. been a lot of me selling that I didn't. have a clue what's going on, but what. I'm learning about I love. And I. appreciated the opportunity to be down. there and congrats to Jelly, congrats to.

everybody in that Nashville community. celebrating one of their own going in. there cuz obviously that's how they feel. so. It was awesome. It It was It was a. magical moment out there. All the while. I'm stuck to my phone watching the Italy. number grow and the USA one stay at. zero. I I. I couldn't do it. And then Max Crosby. isn't a Raven anymore so. >> Where'd that come from? >> Miss Lemonade popcorn, she double. butters it. She's been doing it that way. at the Grand Ole Opry for a long time. Yeah, her name's Miss Lemonade. >> Sounds delicious. >> [laughter]. >> She was a great lady. >> What's double just a lot of butter? What. is double butter? >> Double butter whenever you walk through.

there you understand if it's a Miss. Lemonade popcorn or not. It's in a bag, it is spectacular. You have to have it. That's Jeffrey Simmons right there. >> Oh. >> Okay. >> Oh, he's a big son of a. >> Tennessee Titan He's a monster. I'll let. him know though. I let I took a pass at. >> Sure. >> I mean I I ran in front of him. I let. him know that I was going to get to my. spot. And then before I even put my foot. down he said Left hand right into your. ribs right now. >> [laughter]. >> I was like whoa. whoa whoa WHOA WHOA WHOA. HE LOOK COOL. He's obviously a staple of the Tennessee. Titans and of the Nashville community.

They love him down there. >> He's a monster. >> Everybody in Nashville loved him. He was. He was moving and everybody was like oh. miss like Arizona which I think if you. were to win for the Titans. >> Mhm. >> Like I think it is a. >> He was at El Porco. >> I mean Vrabel Vrabel was the one that. kind of brought them back success and. you even heard how Ernest talked about. him when he he was here last week. Like, they love him. And Jeffrey Simmons is a. guy that could do the whole, you know, kind of Miles Garrett-esque trade. request and everything, and he never. does it. >> Never does it. Just keeps kicking. people's ass. Vrabel said he could beat.

up everybody on the team but Jeffrey. Simmons. So, I would I had to let him. know that I knew that. If you zoom in. here, Foxy, I don't know if you can on. the photo or not, but as you see me. getting to my spot right there, and uh. that's him That's his That's him saying. with the left hand Left hand is going. right to your ribs right now. That Gumpy. captured the exact moment that this took. place. I had to try it. You know how. many times you get to line Just had. Kershaw. >> Yeah. >> I got Jeffrey Simmons right here. >> Thanks, metal. >> I immediately just get down there. just so I can see it. You know, just so. in my mind I can feel what it is.

>> He's an intimidating presence. >> Yeah. >> He's mitts. These things. just. >> bear paws. >> He shouldn't be able to move like he can. when a dude is that big. >> And he was dressed awesome. I I mean, he. was Grand Ole Opry. I mean, we had. >> We had the full denim denim denim on. with sweet boots with diamonds, I think, down the side of it. >> Love that. >> he killed it. >> rhinestones. >> It was fun night last night, except. >> denim denim denim. No wonder we lost to Italy yesterday. It. was Super Mario Day. >> It was.

>> That just reminded me of. >> Oh my gosh. >> Who scheduled that? >> denim denim denim. >> The Rosa. >> Italy was going to win. >> [laughter]. >> Rumor has it they're supposed to play. tonight. >> "No, let's Sure. I mean, the tickets. already punched. Let's play the Italians. on, you know, Mario Day.". >> He did not say. >> be real. >> I don't like how everybody's doing the. >> Me neither, but. >> They They. They were saying mean things about him. >> He misspoke. He misspoke. Did he really.

He really think they He really thought. they were on the same page? >> They all thought they were in, for sure. And they should be. >> They're three [laughter] They're three. and oh. >> It's a four-team thing. We beat three of. the teams. Two teams make it. Every. sport that I've ever been a part of. >> Yeah. >> Send it. Now it's not run differential, it's just runs given up or something. like that. >> Yeah, like per defensive out. It's a the. formula is but I tell you what people. want their pound of flesh. >> Five [clears throat] teams are in pool. B. >> Right. >> Not four. >> But same difference. >> Or it doesn't count. >> You you pay you play everybody in the.

pool but you know people not only in the. baseball world, people on the internet. they wanted their pound of flesh and you. know when you look [clears throat] up. and every time you look up. you know D-Dero's putting his foot in. his mouth. He kind of found your guy to. get your flesh from. >> And then PFT PFT saying like oh yeah we. talked to Dero after we told him he said. that he was like No I didn't. I didn't. I didn't say that. That's not what I said. >> He dropped a what you here? >> [laughter]. >> Yeah exactly. >> Just had to head nod. >> He dropped a are you talking to me? >> Yeah I was. >> It's like come on.

>> All right, let's talk about some other. stuff please. Okay? Baseball team can. still make it. I'm not. >> Wake up call we needed. Wake up call we. needed. Sorry. It always going to win. tonight is the wake up call the boys. needed. >> Come on boys. better. If they don't I mean it is They better. get out of this pool. Okay? Are you kidding me? The more we're talking about the more. pissed I'm getting and I don't want. >> You were pretty pissed earlier. I mean. >> I was. >> You should have seen him you know uh. everybody kind of knows the gimmick. So. I'll have a conversation with somebody. uh I have no direction where I'm headed.

Wherever it goes it goes which is not. great. Sometimes it is spectacular. Sometimes it is just like uh wow there. are certainly some other stuff we're. supposed to cover. That's good news. So. the boys have dry erase boards where. it's like they have the question they. would like to ask. So then you see me. kind of try to get to what their. question is so it's a little bit of a. smoother enterprise. Sometimes the boys. don't have any questions. They just lift. things up to give me messages through. the conversation as it's happening. Their thoughts, their opinions on. things. It is nice moment for us. I will. say it is a very nice moment for us.

This is the first time ever somebody has. held up a dry erase board and while. somebody is giving an answer beating the. out of the dry erase board when I'm. asking questions on why something's. happening and then he's hitting it and. then I go, "Hey, why did we choose the". and then he's just batting the hell out. of it. Doesn't want to question. Okay, he just wants to let me know, hammer. home a point that maybe I need to. realize that maybe it was on the skipper. a little bit here and maybe. we got ducks on the pond to tie it up in. the bottom of the ninth. >> Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't see.

the skipper in the batter's box all. night. >> Not one time. >> I didn't see him take one. >> I wish he was though. I heard he's. hitting bombs. Remember the coaches hit. them? >> Yeah, they're having a lot of fun. Those. guys have a lot of fun hitting bombs, taking BP, you know, sucking down ice. coldies in the clubhouse after they win. I mean, WE STILL GOT GAMES WE GOT to win. We got. to know if we're through, SKIP. RYAN YARBROUGH! >> [laughter]. >> I LOVE HIM. HE'S A YANKEE, BUT. G BRO. >> I HAD NO IDEA. >> That kind of just turned into that. [laughter]. >> I had no idea. >> Went right to it. That's funny.

>> Always a good idea. >> Magic coach AB leaving the dugout. >> I I. I [laughter] I I'd love to hear YOU TALK. AGAIN. >> THEY'D BE FOUR AND OH, 15 to zero. >> [laughter]. >> Hunter running in on the mound visit. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah, he would have been tossed from two. games right there. >> At least before the game even started. >> Yep. >> All right. We still got it. If we make. it, we win it. >> Then we're good. >> Yep. Yep. If we make it. >> And if we don't and Samurai Japan wins. again,

I'm done. >> I saw they were getting shut out too by. a plumber. >> They were. That ain't the team to worry. about. >> Check? >> Yeah, I agree. We're not worried about. them. >> Samurai Japan. >> I'm not worried about Japan. >> No. >> Oh, yeah, you're right. >> We know. >> Boy, they are doing something to. baseball I've never seen before. It's. like cosmic bowling when it all came in, you. >> [laughter]. >> They play tonight. Huge one actually. Them versus Venezuela. >> Oh, can't wait. The Dominican Republic. team is taking the diamond tonight. >> Yeah, the three games today. So. >> Have they punched their ticket? Do they. know if they're in?

>> They they have. Dominican and Venezuela. has they just don't know who's one and. who's two. Yeah. So yeah, they play tonight Dominican and. Venezuela. That one's at 8:00. That. one's for the number one in that group. Canada and Cuba starts off the day. The. winner winner winner winner goes in, loser goes home. >> Oh. >> Cuz that's the big one. And then Italy and Mexico. >> If [laughter] Canada beats Cuba. >> Cal Quantrill's. They're in trouble, brother. >> What's that? >> Cal Quantrill's on the bump for the. Canadians. He can spin it. >> That guy is not. >> Kooz has got somebody too. I know they.

they can spin it too. >> Uh not so much. >> Randy Johnson. >> Listen, if we're going to get kicked out. >> Yeah. >> He's doing it on purpose. >> I'll watch. >> Takes 23 minutes. >> I would too. >> No, you don't they don't. >> a lot of that going on with this. [laughter] too. >> do that in the WBC. >> Yeah, there's no reason. We just need to. field teams as many teams as possible. actually. What are the rules whether or. not what you would think they are. >> So if you identify as the as you can. just join a team? >> Yes, I'm actually thinking about playing. What's that? >> No, I remember that pitcher tried to go. play for um. >> World Baseball Classic. >> Yeah, not not British. He said.

>> Nice nice graphic. >> Well, he said he didn't like. British. And he said, "Okay, you caught. me." And he went [laughter] back there. He went back to Red Sox camp. >> He's he's very Dominican. >> They they tried to make him eat the. fried plantains and mash. and he wouldn't do it. >> Oh, this was the graphic that was put. out by John Boy Media who's obviously a. massive. >> [laughter]. >> The WBC and the WBC has been fantastic. And by the way, John Boy Media has. gotten into my algo now more because. I've been doing the baseball. They are. talented with what they.

>> Yeah, >> very very good. Yeah. John Boy, I'm sorry I did I never really did the. baseball as much in my algo. Probably knew that more than than I did. at the time. So you never made your way. in there naturally only whenever you. guys had your big happen. Now. naturally coming in there it's been nice. to see the baseball content world kind. of come into my life. I there's a lot to. love about baseball. The. Italians don't beat the Mexicans today. though. I'm out. >> Yeah. >> I'm out on baseball forever. Okay? >> Just think of how well Skenes pitched. You got the Pirates still. Okay, we're.

going to make it through. Skenes knows. I'm there's no chance I'm paying. attention if we lose to it. He knows. Skenes Skenes knows I assume that whole. entire. clubhouse expects us. I don't know if. the rest of the world Nick they got to. live their own lives. We got big MLB. season coming up. Okay, I'm pretty I. can't wait to maybe watch it. >> Maybe the last one so we should. >> But they would understand completely if. I was to get out because if this happens. I think they would understand me they'd. give me some grace. >> Yeah. >> And on that note we need Mexico to hit. more than five runs. >> Yep. >> And we need Italy to just win. >> Yeah. >> And this game's at what time?

>> Uh 7:00 or 8:00 7:00. >> And when does the Dominicans play? >> 8:00. >> That's on Tubi. They That was supposed. to be on TV that got flipped to Tubi. Yeah, so. >> How did Tubi get in this? >> Fire up the Tubi app. >> Or YouTube. >> That's a good question. >> This YouTube should have gotten we. should try to get in the game. We. probably could have afforded to run. Could you imagine us broadcasting one of. these. No offense Tubi, never heard of you. But. no offense to Tubi, okay? Maybe 30 years. from now we might need to do business. So please know that I say good things. about Tubi whenever the good times come.

I'm not familiar with Tubi. Is that a. channel? >> Great movies. >> Streaming service. >> It came on one of my TVs automatically. Maybe a couple of my TVs. >> Oh, this is like that one sports group. >> album. Oh. >> Sports group, yeah. >> Yeah, sports group, yeah. >> It's on 155 billion TVs nationwide. >> I got the pipes. >> Oh, maybe I'm confusing Roku and Tubi. >> Righto, Roku. >> Yeah. >> Tubi is an American over-the-top. ad-supported stream service uh owned by. Fox Corporation. >> Okay, so that's how they do it. >> There you go. Makes sense. Makes sense.

>> All right, so we wouldn't have been able. to buy that. Okay, now we move on and. we're a little bit more educated and. hopefully baseball does good things. >> [laughter]. >> Talk about some news that have happened. Dan Jones and the Colts uh sign a. two-year extension. AJ, we haven't heard. your thoughts on this. It's obviously. massive for us over here. Uh actually. AJ, kind of free agency frenzy as a. whole. What are some of the big names. and big signings that kind of uh rattled. the NFL universe in your eyes? >> It's hard to after the Max Crosby news. that hit last night, which you know, the. first hit I wasn't really sure it was. real or not. I had to confirm it. multiple different sources. I would. assume other people did as well. That.

kind of shocked everything. I mean, Trey, the fact that Trey got the deal he. got is awesome. That's impressive. I'm happy for him. >> go Trey. >> Long time. Took him a while to get. there. We know that. A couple multiple. years of going back and forth with the. Bengals and everything like that. Um, I mean, when you think about it, who. do you think out the who's who got the. who's the best out of all of us though? >> You tell me, AJ. I'm excited. >> Honestly, the Titans are doing some. work. I like what they're doing with. their defense. I think they're at least. giving themselves a chance and and. Robert Saleh to to make something work. And you popped that list up of Yeah, you.

see the Titans additions. I like what. they're doing in their their back end. for sure. John Franklin-Myers, I think. he's an under the radar player as well. That's I mean, look at the deal. It's. not really under the radar. He still got. paid very well. But when you popped it. up, um, the Raiders, I believe the. Raiders. Look at what they're doing. They're their linebacker core. I think. Quay Walker, he's a great player and. Green Bay is going to miss him for sure. And Nakobe Dean as well. And then if Max. does play for you, like. if you are Fernando Mendoza, you're. going to be kind of excited about what. the these Raiders have been doing. >> Yeah, definitely. The Raiders had to. spend money, they did, and we like it,

and. we assume and we think from our source. >> says. >> that Tom Brady has a little bit more, you know, like, hey, let's actually try. to maybe listen to this guy. From my. understanding. Now, he is a minority. owner, so what does he get to say versus. other minority owners because he's the. greatest of all time? Who knows? But. from our understanding is there is a. little bit more of a Tom Brady influence. when decisions are being made. That's. why you see Linderbaum get $30 million. Hey, we need if we're going to get a. rookie quarterback in here, we need. this. What else do we need? Well, we.

definitely need a defense that's going. to help. Okay, let's let's load up a. defense maybe, and let's try to protect. this guy, and let's try to make sure. he's not getting run off fields by other. teams. >> Yeah, you got five starters right there. Obviously, Stokes is a holdover that. they had him in already, but that's a. former first-round pick, too, by the. Packers. A super fast guy, picked his. career back up in the Taron Johnson. One. of the best slot defenders in there. You. get edge help, and then you completely. rebuild your linebacking core. And then. Naylor, Naylor he'll step up into a much. bigger role on offense.

Probably number two receiver, depending. on what they do either in the draft or. even down the line in free agency. Maybe. they make a trade, but he's a great. weapon as well. So they've done all the. right things to set Fernando Mendoza up. for success. >> Yeah, and what do you think about Dan. Orlovsky? He just kind of, you know, heehawing around about Fernando maybe. being the number one overall pick. You. think this is just kind of, I'm sorry, is this Bam Orlovsky football, which is. what he is calling himself now on X. after Bam Adebayo goes for 83 points and.

he goes one for seven on television. shooting the rock here at the. Thunderdome. Bam Orlovsky some are saying, obviously. Not us, but he's found folks that have. said that. But he was talking about. Mendoza and Ty Simpson. He's been kind. of teetering on that Mendoza hasn't sold. him yet. Why do you think that is the. case? Do you think it is just small. school? Like if he would have went to. LSU and did this like let's say Joe. Burrow did whenever Joe Burrow. transferred down there. Do you think. there'd be more respect from more. national people than what it is? Because. I think everybody understands he's going. to get number one, but I think a lot of. people are like, kind of a weak number.

one overall pick. Why do you think that. is the case? >> Yeah, even even, you know, people were. taking shots at him when he won the. Heisman, you know what I'm saying? It. was kind of an underwhelming Heisman. class. I mean, we saw him boots on the. ground and obviously you've been with. Game Day, you saw him a little bit more. But I mean, he he checks all the boxes, but he's not like a an Andrew Luck type. prospect or a Cam Newton or one of these. guys who, you know, you're tanking for a. couple even Tua. When he was coming out, it was a tank for Tua campaign. So he's. not one of those prospects, but we've. seen him and we've been around enough. quarterbacks to see and know like, hey,

he does all the right things, he looks. the part. And then he can't be a guy, which most guys are, if isn't in. place around him, he can't flame out and. not be great. So I I the Raiders, like I. said, are doing all the right things. It's going to be interesting to see him. in this offense, too. A lot more under. center, a lot more play action, kind of. half rolls, half boots. A little. different what he did in college, but I. think he's smart enough and he's. definitely talented enough to figure it. out and make those adjustments. >> And he's got the grit. Like I think. Snead was the one who came on, the GM. for the Rams, and basically said like, "Hey, we look for guys who transferred.

from lower schools, went on to a bigger. school, and then performed because they. want those big moments." Like Mendoza, yeah, he went to Cal. He was supposed to. go to Yale first of all. Then he goes to. Cal so he can play like legitimate high. D1 football. Then he goes to the Big. Ten, and then he performs in the biggest. moments. Like that is well, just the. want to be great. But the other thing, too, with Ty Simpson that's kind of in. the same boat as like Ty Simpson. probably could have transferred while he. was at Alabama multiple times cuz he. wasn't the starter when he first got.

there. And him sticking through it, especially through kind of the regime. change, cuz Ty Simpson also was a Saban. guy. Like I don't know if that's been. talked about enough with him. So it both. of them might end up being fantastic, but there is clearly one that. outperformed. >> We think cuz we saw boots on the ground. and we watched him play against each. other and we followed it all more so. than anybody else cuz we live in. Indiana. So we were kind of forced to do. that. Go ahead, tell them. >> To put it in perspective, like over the. last few drafts, I was listening to. Daniel Jeremiah and everyone that all. the scouts and GMs that he talked to at.

the draft. And if it was if we go back. like the last three draft drafts, he had. Mendoza right below Caleb, Jayden, and. Drake. Uh the same as Cam Ward, but then. ahead of like Bo Nix Bo Nix Penix and. McCarthy. So like as far as like coming. out. maybe a little bit a little bit below. those guys who were like considered like. a lead elite, but higher than guys who. are like projected to just be like a. good average starter in the NFL. >> Yeah, normally if you're going to be the. number one overall pick, you're going to. a shite situation. That's just kind of.

how it goes. The Raiders, to everybody's. point here, making it better, hopefully. making it easier. They're not the only. ones. Record-breaking amount of money spent. during free agency frenzy here. $3.3. billion in. >> Jesus. >> contracts were given out. Congratulations to the NFL and all the. players. >> Let's go. >> You guys have built a product that is so. successful and so healthy that people. are literally able to change not only. their lives but generations of their. families to come if they're able to play. a position well in the sport of. football. We are very grateful for that. being a profession. We're also very.

grateful that it changed people's lives. so damn much. It gives people hope in. situations in which they know they might. not be able to have anything else. Sports take care of people. The NFL has. taken care of a lot of people. The NFL. has made a lot of people millionaires, myself included. The NFL has given a lot. of opportunity. The sport has given a. lot of opportunity. So, for that, I'm. incredibly thankful. Now, is everything. perfect? Absolutely not. But, $3.3. billion in contracts out to players, to. guys who worked their ass off to get. themselves in a position to be able to. negotiate with 32 franchises that are.

worth billions. >> And billions. >> of dollars because of their abilities to. play football is a beautiful thing. This. is wonderful and uh it was really cool. to be a part of, AJ or not. I love that. we are a league, and I say we as if I'm. a part of it. I do I will be looking for. a percentage of a team though at some. point. Sure. We will be looking for a. percentage of a team at some point. >> Lynn Bowden operate. >> Feels like it's going to take a long. time. Yeah, exactly. Lynn Bowden, let us. know it's going to be a long time for us. to be able to get into that game, but. hopefully we'll be able to get there. But, I love that our league blesses so.

many people because of how successful. and great the sport is, AJ. >> Yeah, football is king and the NFL is. the best. I mean, that's the. it the fact that free agent frenzy is. such a big deal and people pay so much. attention to it just tells you all you. need to know about the NFL. Like, this. doesn't happen in many other sports. I. don't know, maybe I just don't pay. enough attention to other sports, but. when it comes to the NFL, we know. everything. Like Schefter said, that's. why Schefter doesn't get to sleep ever. cuz the league never sleeps. The league. is 365 days a year and the stuff is. actually interesting and we're seeing. franchises possibly turn things around.

or possibly go to poop. So, this is. where it is. This is where we are right. now. >> Yeah. Yeah, some teams stay in poop, some teams go to poop, but everybody's. looking for glory hole. >> Yeah. >> And that glory hole is obviously the. Lombardi. >> [laughter]. >> At the end of it, they need to do. something about what happened with the. Ravens and Max. >> Yeah. >> That's bad. Cuz this if this number is. just able to just disappear. >> Yeah. >> like a Walmart rolling prices thing. Like that that cannot be. >> They're saying legal tampering period's. gone. >> Yeah, that's what we're saying, too. We're saying Monday at noon this. starts.

>> Yes. >> Yeah. >> A lot of lot of everybody lock in cuz us. being able to talk also, just for the. good of free agency frenzy. And you talk. about free agency frenzy as a thing. I. feel like. it certainly has become one. I feel like. it has become a thing. But if you talk. to the league offices like Schefter was. one of the first people ever to be like, "Hey, this day is a big day." And maybe. people were a little resistant both at. the league network and then when he gets. to ESPN, he's like, "Hey, this is a big. day if we were to make it a big day." I. think ESPN bought into it a bit more and. then the league bought into it a bit.

more. It's also something where they. understand whenever they have moments, you know, like they understand whenever. they have moments and they promote it. They're a healthy business. It's like. free agency frenzy we assume is only. going to grow. I mean, the what the. draft has become, it's only going to grow. They're going. to create new that's only going to. grow, which is only going to make that. number that 3.2 billion dollar number or. 3.3 billion dollar number only bigger in. the future. It's like they're nowhere. near where they're headed in this entire. game. And now we're hearing Thanksgiving. Eve. >> Mhm. >> is becoming a day in which the NFL is.

going to take over. It's like that. number's only going up and to the right. And that man right there certainly has. been booed a lot of times, but he has. shown up and delivered for these owners. with everything he said he was going to. do when he started as commissioner and. what he is now. Global expansion, okay, the valuations of franchises, the TV deals that we can get. >> safety. >> Yeah, health and safety for the players, the product of our game. It's like they. are in a good spot and these three days. are basically a showcase of that. And.

the talented players are the reason why. the game is where it is and the business. is where it is. And I think the reason. why we like this so much is because. we're seeing that and them get kind of. blessed through the whole opportunity. I. love free agency frenzy. To your point. AJ, it's become some of my favorite. we got. >> Yeah, I mean it just illustrates how. healthy the league is and you I mean. going into it everyone talked about like. this isn't that great of a free agency. class, you know, we don't really have. the quarterbacks and then look what. happens, you know, like we still get 3.3. billion dollars worth of deals as long. as the cap continues to rise the way we. think it will like it doesn't matter if.

there are a bunch of, you know, like. superstar household names available free. agent wise like teams are going to spend. money and this is going to continue to. be as big of a deal as there is on the. NFL calendar. >> Yeah, I don't even think was there a. position group was reset outside of. Trent McDuffie? I know that was a trade. >> Center. >> Oh, yeah, okay. >> Interior alignment. >> Yeah, okay, that's what I'd be the one. >> But other than that, no. >> Yeah, so but looking back at that list. of the top five and I know common. mentioned it earlier in the week uh with. the Seahawks and the Patriot being top. five spenders last off season, who from.

this list can you see I know. Washington's been in NFC Championship uh. you know, Jalen's rookie year. Who from. this list can you see making it at least. a championship weekend? >> Well, since the Ravens said I don't. think so to Max Crosby, I mean you can. just go ahead and let me be wooed by. everything that just happened over. there. Give me the Las Vegas Raiders. Tennessee Titans uh after meeting. Boganzi and Salah. and Cam Ward we know and now Jeffrey. Simmons it's like. >> Their stadium's ass going to be until. they get a new stadium, but the city's. ready to explode. So maybe they're.

Washington Commanders have had it, right? We know Daniel's can potentially. do it. And then Bryce Young and the. Panthers, they take a huge swing day one and spend. a lot of money to up their roster. It's. like any of them I guess at this point. you could really see it. >> Yeah, I mean and like that that division. doesn't stink, that isn't the right. thing to say, but they won that division. last year and you look at everyone else. up here. I mean I guess the you know, Saints are included in that, but we. expect Shox to make a jump, but yeah, like I mean coming off winning the. division and then almost and taking the. Rams to the brink who a lot of people.

thought were maybe the Super Bowl. favorite or the second best team you. like Panthers got a lot better. I mean. they did kind of go from good football. team to potentially great football. >> So on that note, we didn't give you an. answer. Who do you think? >> those two answers. >> Yeah, well I gave you five answers. >> Panthers. [clears throat]. >> Panthers we like? >> What about the Commanders? I mean the. Commanders aren't far off. They can stay. healthy. >> yeah, it's like they and they got much. better at edge cuz their defense was has. been horrendous. Um, Dibachu correct me. if I'm wrong. I I feel like they still. have holes in the secondary. Titans.

still have O-line issues. Um, who else? Saints um, still have some. issues on the defense side of the ball, but like Panthers were just there. They. almost beat the Rams last year. At like. what they were saying. >> Oh, Connor says hold the phone it sounds. like. >> of think the Saints. I with ETN what. they did and just how Shox like if you. just look at their offense as a whole. Juwan Johnson came on as a tight end. Olave he's kind of proven as a as a very. legitimate thousand yard receiver. ETN. in the backfield now. Now their O-line. we'll see, but they also added K'Lavon.

Chaisson, couple guys on defense. Kind. of love what they were doing. >> We have a math correction after a Danny. Dimes deal is done. The Colts have entered TOP FIVE. SPENDERS. >> WOW. >> WELL. >> SO WHO WAS IN THE SUPER BOWL LAST YEAR? >> UH, Patriots and Seahawks. Patriots were. the number one spending team in free. agency the year before. Seahawks were. the number four spending team. >> Also top five spending teams make it to. the Super Bowl? Okay. That's what I just. heard. We doing stats or not? >> Since 20 Since 2025, uh, two of the top. five teams in free agency spending will. make the Super Bowl.

>> So now we're doing trends. Okay, so. we're doing we're doing stats, we're. doing trends, we're doing everything. And with the Danny Dimes deal, not only. do we know who our trigger man is and we. assume he's going to be healthy to play. which he told us earlier today. We're. also top five spenders which if you read. the trends which I like to do. I like to. get into the nitty gritty. I like know. >> what has happened before so we can. predict what's happening the now and the. future. That's why I want to go to. Tokyo, Japan and take a look at the. stocks cuz they're 13 hours ahead of. time. I want to see what's going on. here. That's what's happening here. So, they're top five spending team all of a. sudden. It's like, "Wait a minute.".

Colts Super Bowl's back on, brother. And. uh Pards might have just been a little. bit hanging out, you know, towards the. end of the season after Dayne Davis got. hurt. He said, "Sorry, boys. I was. hanging up here with uh. old Beatles there at the game. We're. having a blast. Had no idea we're going. to break a leg and go on a bye week and. then the Philly's happened. I'll get you. next year, boys.". >> Mhm. >> So, Jim Irsay's season to the Super Bowl. is certainly just next year cuz we're. top five spenders. And also, shouts. Carly. Shouts Kaylin. >> Shouts. >> Shouts Casey. A lot of upfront money. having to come out, too. They're making. decisions to go. I love that. But, I.

also like the Carolina Panthers taking. huge swings on day one. >> Yeah, and the Titans. >> Huge. >> There there was a trends yesterday. I. forget what the exact graphic was, but. the number one team in spending in free. agency basically for the last 10 years. has up their win total about like three. games, right? Yeah. Patriots were 10. last year, but still at least three. games. Like, if you're thinking about. the Titans with the four overall pick. potentially adding Jeremiah Love to. everything that they've already done. Like, Titans might be fantastic.

>> Oh my god, I didn't even think about. DaBoll with Jeremiah Love and Jaycee. Horn out there. Man, I think you put Jeffery Simmons on. offense, too, just after what I saw last. night. >> this past year. >> That's something to think about. >> What you got. >> I don't know who's tackling him, honestly. >> See Sonny Styles maybe in that. >> Oh, actually or Jeremiah Love. >> Yeah. >> Tennessee Titan. >> Yeah, the the the logo that was. released. Uh we will continue digitally. YouTube, ESPN Plus, Disney Plus, TikTok. Live, X. Can't believe we're leaving. ESPN News. >> I know. >> We're going to stop doing new.

though. We're telling you that. >> Yeah. >> Miss you. >> So, if you want no more news stuff here. in 6 seconds or so. We'll be back. tomorrow. Be a friend, tell a friend, have a nice night, change your life. Goodbye. No more news. >> Okay. >> All right. >> Okay. >> Stop. >> Not even old news? >> Done. No news. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> We're not breaking the news. >> Was that the melody? >> What about Remember Conman used to do. like on this day in America? >> On this day. >> I do remember that.

We. need to relax with this whole thing. We. need to remember who's our team and who. isn't our team. Our team is America. >> Mhm. >> But boy, we need the paisanos.

tonight to hit some dong shots. Let's get the Lavazza boys. Okay, let's. get that thing. >> Some limoncello. >> Let's get it all in. Definitely. Let's. get some of that. >> Mhm. >> Let's get all the gabagool actually. We. would like to pay for the gabagool. We. would like all the gabagool in Houston. delivered to the Italians today. >> Whole charcuterie tray in the dugout. >> Wrap the baseballs in prosciutto, boys. >> Please. Wait in box. >> That right on the outside. >> Let's make sure the boys are ready. Get. them ENOUGH WINE. WE WOULD LIKE TO. SUPPLY all the wine for the celebration.

WHERE'S THE WINE? >> I LOVE THIS GUY. >> HIS LAST NAME IS PASQUANTINO. You're. saying he's not Italian? >> No, I love him. Anybody from Pittsburgh, if they wanted to play for Italy, I. think I would have to appreciate that. and respect that as well. But again, for. America, we need you tonight. We would. like to buy at least four bottles of. wine. Now, I don't know enough about the wine. world, but I do know some of these. bottles are outrageous. You seen.

what I just did with the Americans last. night? 5,000 out the door. We don't have. that anymore. You guys are getting. bagged wine, and you're going to like. >> Franzia is fine. >> Delicious. >> These guys will love it. Franzia. >> It's a delicacy. >> I will buy all the box wine you. need, okay, for the entire country. >> What about some sambuca? >> Tell you what, if you guys need a little. sambuca to get the job done tonight. against Mexico, I'll throw some. of that in there, too. >> I mean, it's a good chance they they. shot their load early, right? Like they. don't have a whole lot left. >> The Italians? >> That's the worry, though. >> Italians have loads for days. They work.

out every morning. You know why? >> That's right. They're up early building. the loads, brother. That's what it's all. about. They're delivering the loads. They're cooking the loads. They're. making the loads. And tonight, they. unload, okay? And they need to do it. again. And we need them. You know what? Pepperoni pizza is due for all of us. >> Yeah. If they have If they have loads. left, cuz they. they shot a big one yesterday. >> A bunch of them. >> Yeah. >> There was a rope loads. THEY'RE THEY'RE. THROWING people out at first. with a guy doing a splits. I I mean, what are we. >> Ropes everywhere. >> Holy is that baseball? And then. you watch the Dominican team play, it's.

like, "What is that baseball? THIS IS. WHAT BASEBALL IS? I LOVE that sport.". And then college baseball people are. like, "Look at this shit.". They're sending me highlights of college. baseball down in the South. >> Mhm. >> Wow. I didn't know that was possible. We. need that tonight for Italy. >> Yeah. Or if they want to score a bunch of runs. and win, >> flying around. Sorry, man. >> No, no, all good. Mexico, if they want. to score a bunch of runs and win, too, that's fine. >> That works too. Yeah, they should just. score five first inning, boom. Okay, and. then we're good. >> Zito, my Spanish-speaking uh friend.

here. Zito, I believe "Andele" is. for Mexico. "Vamo". and "Andele" though, I think is a. Mexican dialect of Spanish. Cuz I I I. believe a lot of Spanish-speaking. >> Different dialects. >> They all speak different Spanish. Everybody speaks different Spanish, right? I mean, you would know a little. bit more than I do. >> South Florida. >> Cuz I learned something from Rey. Mysterio. >> Sure. >> And I'll feel like a beast. >> Sure. >> I'll just walk in somewhere. "Que. estomos, mi amigo? Andele, huh?" It's. like, "No. That's the wrong one,

buddy." It's like, "All right, shit.". I'll take a cafe con leche. >> Yeah. [laughter]. >> Jesus Christ, I thought I was a hero. here, you know? And they know. immediately. They know immediately. But. I think "Andele" is the one, right? Zito, is that right? Andele Yeah. So, hey, Andele boys, big ones. >> Andele. >> Big big ones. Bang. out there. Vamos, big ones. Boom. It'll be so cool if Mexico hangs seven. in the first inning. >> Yeah, exactly.

>> Who's pitching? >> For Mexico? >> Italy. >> Italy, Aaron Nola pitching. >> That's not real. That guy's. >> He's the one we. Bryce Harper brought him up. when we were talking out there and doing. the interview. He said he's got the best. best fastball. Yeah, I believe him. >> Best fastball. So, that means. the boys from Mexico just need to be. sitting on that. >> Yeah, Jarren Duran ding-donging tonight. >> Dead red. That other guy that we always. uh. >> Alejandro Kirk. >> Yeah, wobble body? >> Yeah, keep calling him wobble body. I.

don't know if he's going to love that. >> That's not who he is. He's the catcher, right? >> Yeah. >> And that's for his job. He's built that. way. >> Exactly. Jonathan Aranda, first baseman, very good as well. >> And you know what, Italy? Why don't you. guys win, too? You know? >> Yeah. >> Exactly. >> You guys should win, too. >> Yeah. >> We basically can't lose here tonight. >> Bingo. >> I'm going to bet on that. >> USA advances. >> Let's not say that against Italy. >> USA to advance? Yeah, you should. definitely bet that. >> I just hope D Row knows that we're still. alive and that he hasn't the book the. plane ticket back to New Jersey yet.

That's my hope. >> I don't know. >> Italy has moved from plus 240 to plus. 190. >> Okay. >> Is that Is that good for us? >> [laughter]. >> Bunch of American marks. >> Lot of money coming in on Italy. They. believe in Aaron Nola. >> Struggling to figure out if that's good. >> That's good. [laughter] That's good. That means Italy's going to win. >> Yes, it does. For America. >> For America. >> Hey, those boys, lot of Americans in. there. >> Yeah, there are. >> Obviously America- Italian Americans, American Italians.

We see what you're doing. We respect it. >> Yeah. >> We love the boot country. We love it. We say "Grazie" all the time. >> Yeah, we do. >> Now you get a chance to do your thing. for America two boys. Okay, you're doing your thing for Italy. Tonight you got an opportunity to do. something for America. Don't us. And we got to that. >> Yeah. >> We got to the out of that. >> That's right. Ben. >> Right AJ? >> Yes we do but didn't Jet say that both. these teams hate the US team? >> Yes they did. >> But what what we're trying to do here is.

trying to get past that. We're trying to. set our swords aside. >> I just want to I just want a bunch of. runs. A bunch of runs early and then we. can unload. >> Unload the loads. >> Yeah. Unload the loads. >> All right. I guess there's only one way. to really find out what's going to. happen tonight. This one's for Italy. >> Okay. >> Okay. Okay. All right. Oh no. >> Got a couple ops here. >> Do one do one for Mexico and five plus. runs. >> Yeah. >> This is for five plus international. ball. >> There we go. >> Perfect. Yeah.

>> Jeez. [laughter] That. >> Now do one for Mexico under five runs. >> have any more balls. >> They don't want to. >> I mean that wasn't the right one anyway. I think you need to take a pitch and. just hit go yard. >> In here? >> Mhm. >> All right. Somebody put on the catcher's. gear. I'm joking. All right. We'll watch baseball tonight. Obviously follow along with all the free. agency. AJ it was great to see you. We. did miss you man.
