The Pat McAfee Show Live | Wednesday October 1st 2025

ution. We Hello, beautiful people. Full. graphics failure as the show launches. Full system failure. Obviously, everybody will be able to figure that. out on this glorious Watt Wednesday, October 1st, 2025. We can't thank you. enough for allowing us to do this for a. living. The program today is stacked. We. got JJ Watt joining us in about 15. minutes or so. Now, >> normally he's in the second hour. >> Yeah, >> sure. >> He comes to the first hour strictly. because in the second hour we're doing. baseball. Whoa. Whoa.

>> We're doing baseball. Listen, now that's. nine-year NFL vet Darius Jay Butler. hitting a wo right there. Which is an. accurate response, I think, because this. is out of the norm. Don't you think so, Debb? >> Very much so. I know we didn't get our. football in the day. So, I guess I mean. still starting with we get some. baseball. >> Yeah, we do. Yeah. And that's why that's. why the beginning of the show was what. it was because what you normally think. of this show, especially this time of. year, I mean, it's October 1st. >> Yeah. >> Rabbit rabbit to everybody out there. Mhm. These guys are only going to be. talking about football, especially if. they got JJ Watts scheduled to be in.

there. But uh-uh, baseball is. electrifying. And guess who we're. talking to? 12-year NFL vet. Super Bowl. champion AQ Shipley. >> Hey, uh, do you know who we're talking. to in the baseball world in the second. hour? >> Am I allowed to say it? >> Oh, so you do know you say it. >> I do know who. >> Okay. Okay. Say say who you think. It's. two people. I'll be excited to see who. he says first. Who who is the guy that. we get a chance to chat with in the. second hour? >> The big dumper. Cal Raleigh.

>> That's right. Cal Raleigh. >> The MLB leader in Ding-Dongs will be. joining us in the next hour. Obviously, Seattle Mariners superstar. They've won. the AL West for the first time since. 2001. >> Boom. >> Okay. So, what Kyle Raleigh has done not. only on both sides of the plate, but. also behind the plate. This guy. basically has the plate surrounded and. he is doing good things all the way. around the ballpark. Uh he'll be joining. us for what he is, I assume, dubbed a. special season.

>> for a player, for a town, for a team, for a legacy, for a storyline going into. obviously a beautiful playoffs that. started yesterday in a fantastic way. And then oh yeah, we got the second. leader in home runs uh in the MLB in. MLB, sorry, Kyle Schwarbo. What? Both of. them? >> Yeah. Philadelphia Philly superstar. Yeah. He's been there for a few years. Obviously. Schwarbo hit himself 50ome. ding-dongs. >> 55 ding-dongs this year. And uh this guy. is a monster. He's 32 years old. I got a.

chance to see him whenever he came down. to Indiana for College Game Day and made. the picks. He was fantastic there. Obviously goes to the Cubs. Fantastic. there. He's been here now, I think, three years, I believe, at this point. He's 32 years old. He's a DH and uh what. he's designated to do is succeed. and uh. he's only getting better it feels like. and this Phillies team real deal. Let's. go to the toxic table at Tai Schmidt. Uh. shout out to baseball having a huge wild. card day. And shout out to toxic tables. at Boston Connor in the Boston Red Sox.

getting a huge win over your New York. Yankees. But can we talk about Schwarbo. a little bit joining us in the next. hour? Phillies might be a magical team. every single year. This year does have. something brewing it feels like. >> Yeah, without a doubt. I mean, everyone's looking, especially after. last night, seeing what the the Dodgers. did. They just beat the absolute [ __ ]. out of the Reds. So, everyone's saying, "Hey, who could beat the Dodgers in the. NL? If anyone's going to do it, or the. team that most most likely will do it, it's going to be the Phillies." You're. seeing all these different shots from. Schwarber here. When this guy hits. homers, he doesn't just, you know, hit a.

little cheapy two, three rows into the. seats. Like, he's hitting balls 500 ft. into the night. Deep, deep, deep. They're a very deep lineup. They have. good pitching. Uh, one of the big things. and I'll be interested to see what these. guys have to say about it. Baseball is. such a sprint. You're playing so well. and then the playoffs start and you get. like a week off almost while all these. other wild card teams um, you know, are. battling out to see who's going to play. Teams like the Phillies and the. Mariners. So, it's very interesting when. these guys, him and Cal Rally are as hot.

as they are. Like now you just got to. sit and wait a week kind of, which kind. of goes against everything that you want. in baseball. When you're hot, you just. want to play play. So, we'll see. rest. and rust situation. You know, last night. and yesterday as a whole, baseball had a. huge wild card there. >> Yeah. >> In the headline, I think with a lot of. people that maybe don't have rooting. interest for any of these teams, Red. Sox, Yankees battling. And I'll tell you. what, >> it was a great day to be a Red Sox. What. a time for the Boston Red Sox to knock. off the Yankees in a best of three. series. Are the Yankees about to be.

>> Are the Yankees about. that yet? it. They're nine innings away. potentially from their season being over. because of the Boston Red Sox. Connor, I. know you haven't been following this Red. Sox team all season. True. But let's say. you had followed the headlines. You were. very optimistic about this Red Sox maybe. next year, young team going forward. Are. they about to gritty their way to a. massive upset over the Yankees here in.

the wild card? >> I think maybe from the outside world you. would think it's massive, but as someone. who's followed the team, it's not. massive. You know, this team is built. for this. Uh Garrett Crochet once again, I mean, he's punching everybody out. 13ks, I think, seven and two/3. I mean, this guy's a stud. Ty, I I gota I got to. say he called it. Aaron Judge is the. greatest right-handed hitter of all. time. He hit two of the hardest singles. I've ever [ __ ] seen last night. >> What's that called? That's called bat. speed. No, that's exit V. Exit. >> Dude, you should have seen it. It's. >> highest single VO,

>> man. They had three of them in the. night. I don't know if you saw the end, but the they had three right off the bat. in the ninth inning. Single, single, single. Everyone's like, "Singles are. back. >> I'm worried." All of a sudden, Araldis. Chapman comes out. We remember him from. Pittsburgh at his grandma's house. All. of a sudden, we say, "Uh-oh, there's a. chance we might be screwed. The bases. are juiced." Nuh-uh, Stanton, sit down, buddy. You can't hit a curve. Jazz Chism. actually really, really fun to watch. He's sweet. Pop out, though. It doesn't. really matter. And then of course, what'.

you say? >> Why don't you start? We can start. >> Yeah, there was a lot of time on a field. last. >> Yeah, that's just people are asking. And. then see you later. Top left high. cheese. Whatever the hell they call it. Who cares? Socks are going to win. >> 101 to end it. Had a 92 mph slider in. the same inning. I guess Chapman. obviously a weapon there to close it. out. Let's go to Tai Schmidt, New York. Yankees diehard super fan. I'll tell. you, I didn't want to point it out. The. internet had been doing it. >> Yeah, sure. Yep. We can do it again. We.

did it. We did We did about 40 minutes. ago. I can try to remember everything I. said. We can We can kind of run it back. if you'd like to. >> I'm not doing it. I woke up this. morning. I fell asleep. I didn't see the. end of these games. I was uh I literally. woke up like 4:35 a.m. Okay. Felt pretty. good. I'm becoming a morning person. I'm. actually kind of enjoying. There's like. a routine in the morning. I'm doing this. whole thing. Open X first. >> Now, blame my uh. >> Sure. >> You can blame Elon his platform. You. blame sports for being the most talked. about thing on there. You can blame a.

lot of stuff. The first thing I saw was. a tweet. A lot of views on it. Lot of. views on it going the judge is a. liability for the Yankees. It was in the. seventh inning. And I don't even know. why they were blaming him for this, but. it felt like it was a narrative that was. starting last night. He goes two for. four. Connor already chatted about that. He is Aaron Judge. But why was this the. narrative coming out of last night? I. would genuinely like to know why that is. an angle that people are pitching into. Uh because that the well the Yankees. defense as a whole uh is like their.

biggest weakness and it kind of like in. the playoffs a lot of times when you're. facing these good pitchers like Crochet. you can't just go out and hit five. homers every single night and out homer. teams which is kind of the when the. Yankees are at their best that's their. recipe. So they do this kind of stuff. with the defense all the time like. letting teams to basically just take. another base which typically there. you're thinking like that's a that's a. routine single to the outfield. can't. let that guy stretch that into two. Uh. Soggard, they actually said that from. home to to second that was the fastest.

he's ever ran that. So there's a little, you know, a little juice for the. postseason might have made a play. >> But yeah, exactly. But the biggest issue. is Judge has a flexor strain in his. elbow. And that was kind of what all. Yankees fans were worried about when he. went on the IIL like three, four weeks. ago. And they basically said like, "Hey, if you really unccort one in the. outfield, there's a chance you could. have Tommy John." And for a guy like. Judge, like the Yankees can't lose him. If they lose him for a prolonged period. of time, they will go right into the. shitterter. It's happened multiple. times. So that's the that's the big.

thing. They're saying, "Well, he's a. liability in the outfield. You can't DH. him because they have Stanton, so he has. to play the outfield." And the question. is, and the Red Sox like advanced. scouting, they knew that. It's like, "Hey, if we have guys on base and. there's a ball hit out to judge, like. let we got to test his arm. We got to. see if he can actually do it." And. >> because he's known for having a massive. arm. >> He has a cannon. He has a cannon. Yeah. And I think they said like the his. typical throw from the outfield is like. around 90 mph and he threw that like 75. Damn. >> Uh so like it it is a bit of a concern, but I think he also picks and chooses.

cuz you also look at it. It's like yeah. that's that's huge to get that in quick. At this point they're still up 10. Uh. but then you know bullpen's got to get. outs. You know you can't rely. >> So why did you guys lose? Let's talk. because you're up 1 for a long time. Obviously in the seventh is whenever. they end up taking the lead. You also. pull your pitcher, I believe, at that. exact time as well. Guy who had a shut. out coming. >> Yeah, correct. Max Freed, who the. Yankees paid $218 million for in the off. season. Uh he's one of the best pitchers. in baseball. He led the majors in wins.

this year. And he was just steamrolling. through the Red Sox. I mean, Crochet, what he was doing was unbelievable. And. uh you know, Freed was he was he was a. little bit better because the Yankees. had a 10-0 lead going into the seventh. It's what we talked about it a little. bit out there. the analytics in baseball. now, for whatever reason, when pitchers. get to a 100 pitches, it's kind of like. a, okay, we got to, this is going to be. his last inning. We can't let this guy. go any longer. We can't, you know, jeopardize his arm. So, Freed gets an. out in the top of the seventh. He throws. six and a third. They take him out and.

bring in Luke Weaver from the bullpen. who has been absolutely horseshit almost. the entire month of September. He's. >> What are we doing? That's kind of a boon master class is. what a lot of people were saying. So, uh, he gets in there, he walks his first. batter, which you can't do. You can't. give any teams free bases. You're a. reliever. Throw [ __ ] strikes. Don't. throw, you know, for balls that aren't. competitive at all. And a guy's not. going to swing at. So, he walks that guy. and then we have the judge play. So, now. they got second and third with one out.

Still, but but still, okay, hey, that's. not a big deal. You know, you can limit. this to maybe a sack fly and we'll get. out of this. >> 1-1 and then we'll kind of the the game. starts over again. Uh that didn't. happen. The Yosha pinches hit uh pinch. hits. They get a base hit right away. Score two more runs. And then because. the way the Yankees set everything up, they didn't want to play guys like Jazz. Chisum because he's left-handed and. Crochet is left-handed and the splits. like just those guys are not You don't. want to have a lefty on lefty matchups, but he the the Yankees had multiple guys.

on the bench. Hey, if we want to pinch. hit, we have this kind of situation. Well, it never got to that. So, it kind. of played right into the Red Sox hand. So, you got you go from their. unbelievable starting pitcher to Araldis. Chapman who is also left-handed. And. then you get, you know, three batters. who, oh no, we got three lefties. This. is exactly what we didn't want to. happen. And we couldn't use any of our. guys on the bench who were really good. So, the Yankees really threw that one. away. Boone got outmanaged big time by. Alex Kora. But, >> but it's a three-game series and I think.

most Yankees fans would say like if we. were going to lose a game, it was going. to be that one. Crochet is unbelievable. You hate to waste that kind of start. from Max Freed, but now you know like do. you want to just be chokers? Your backs. are against the wall. So go out and win. >> Oh no, it is a Yankee fan potentially. Boy moment here. >> I'm very I'm very confident. >> we are witnessing it. Let's go to the. behind the glass. Bruce Brown, lifelong. Yankees fan as well. Bruce Boston Red. Sox about to wreck the Yankee season. this year. Oh no, >> it's a tough loss at home. You you drop.

the pitching duel obviously their their. ace crochet played played outstanding. but no you go out tonight you win eight. to four with Rodone on the bump car. though he'll get the job done and then. we go to game three we got Sch slitler. andor bluegill against a rookie for the. Red Sox. >> who's a dog. >> who's who is good but but I I still like. our guys I I think it's all right in. front of us as Aaron Boon has said a. thousand times when we struggled uh. throughout the year obviously have to. have it tonight but I'm I'm not ready to.

freak out. And I also take solace in. Garrick Cole's out this year. He missed. the entire year. We're here without the. a. mere few months away from Derek Cole, Paul SK, Max Freed, and number 28. If we. don't get Paul. next year, don't do that. >> All right. Uh the Cubs hit backto back. Jackson a bit. >> Get a big time win for them. That looked.

like an electrifying environment. Shout. out to the Cubbies getting one from Slam. Diego. Do they play again today as well? >> Yes. Yep. Everybody plays again today. Same times. >> All right. Good luck to go ahead. >> Are the aces I know we talked about that. ace duel in the Red Sox um Yankees. matchup, but are the Aces in general. throwing like longer now? >> Uh no, not really. I mean some guys and. I think that that's my biggest gripe is. it's the postseason. Like this isn't the. the middle of May where like sure I. could see that a guy's thrown a bunch of. pitches. Let's get him out and go for.

the like it's do or die right now. These. are three game series. Like you need to. do whatever you can to win these games. And when you're paying a guy 200 plus. million dollars, like guess what? He can. throw more than 100 pitches. Okay, he's. not [ __ ] 14 years old. >> They pulled your guy 103 pitches. >> 102. And Crochet threw 117. And I was. kind of just thinking like, okay, well, if you give Max Freed 15 more pitches, he probably gets out of that seventh. inning and they're still up one- nothing. and then you can go to your, you know, your really high leverage relievers in. the bullpen. So, I mean, again, a lot of.

Monday morning quarterback, this can all. be erased if you just go win, which is. what they got to do. >> Okay. Well, good luck to them cuz the. Red Sox fans are saying, "We thought it. was football season. >> We had no idea we're still in baseball.". >> Drake base. >> That's crazy for you guys. >> I'm very excited. in the whole Aaron. Judge thing. He's out there. Okay. Guy's. got a noodle arm now. Let's just I don't. care if he's hurt. He's got a noodle. arm. He hits the ball country mile. But. boy oh boy, it's bad. >> We need to be hitting We need to be.

throw. >> Yeah. slap the ball the other way, Jets, is basically what judge is doing. >> No, we Yeah, they need to be hitting it. Righties need to be throwing that thing. to right. >> Lefties need to be pulling that thing to. right. >> Great call. I bet Cor is telling him. today cuz obviously you heard Cor is a. thousand times better than Boone from. the Yankees fans. Uh Cor is going to let. them know we're pepper and judge today. >> They he just said they actually did. already know that that that kind of was. part of the part. >> But today no per sources uh you know we. have sources all over per sources Kora.

today is like let's do it even more. >> No I I don't think your What? Who are. your sources? We would like you to out. your sources. >> Why the hell would I do that? Well, let's just drop the journalism tag for a. second. I know you try your best to be. that. Uh let's just just go ahead and. share who we got the info from there. >> Uh through the grapevine, um Gumpy's uh. current owner of his soccer club, John. Henry. Uh he actually reached out former. former owner of the Red Sox. >> All right, I appreciate that. Okay, there's some big news going on in the. NFL world. Uh the news was broken kind.

of yesterday afternoon about like 3:12. It was legitimized and officialized and. formally announced by everybody else. other than just CBS Sports this morning. Dylan Gabriel starting for Cleveland. Browns. Third round pick. >> Here we go. >> Third round pick out of Oregon. Obviously, we are incredibly pumped for. Dylan Gabriel to get his first start. this weekend. It'll be in London Town. against the Minnesota Vikings. And he. can spin it. It feels like everybody. loves him. His teammates love him. When. he was at Oklahoma, they loved him. When. he was at Oregon, they loved him. Obviously, the way that whole thing.

ended against Ohio State in a Rose Bowl. was nasty. I I mean, that was that that. was a nasty uh kind of ending to it all, that was supposed to be a very glorious. year, which it certainly was for a large. portion of it. And uh Dylan Gabriel, if. he can execute the offense, why not? We. saw Joe Flacco punt a couple times with. his arm. Yep. >> We saw some bad Joe Flacco, even though. we had seen some great Joe Flacco for. the Cleveland Browns a couple years. back. Feels like a quarterback change. was inevitable. And with how good their. defense is, I don't think it's over for. this Cleveland Browns team. If Dylan.

Gabriel can come in there and play some. ball, why not the Cleveland Browns in. that AFC North? That'll be at 9:30 a.m. in London. You got Dylan Gabriel taking. on Carson Wentz. Gabriel versz ready to. go down. Now remember, Dylan Gabriel uh. is his size, which is certainly not the. size of other quarterbacks. Certainly. Carson Wentz who is very tall. I I mean. Carson is a large indiv individual. But. let's talk about Dylan Gabriel and the.

only knock really is can he see? Can he. is he going to be able to handle it all? How about some big time shots? We've. seen undersized and we're only saying. undersized because in real life they're. normal size, more athletic, more jacked. than most people. On a football field. though at that particular position with. who you're standing behind and who is. trying to tackle you, size seemingly can. matter. But there's been outliers. Y. will Dylan Gabriel be another one of. those guys in the NFL debuff? >> We shall see. We saw him be successful. at a high level at different stops in.

his college career. But yeah, that will. be his knock and that'll be something. he'll have to, you know, overcome. throughout his entire career. Every. quarterback gets balls batted down the. line of scrimmage, but every time it'll. happen to Dylan, they'll say, "Oh, maybe. it's just because he's 5'11" or whatever. his height is. Um, but we've seen him. play good ball. His strength has been. getting the ball out on time, being. accurate, hitting guys. And once we saw. that punt to Kirby Joseph, I think we. all saw this kind of come and even. coming into the season, we all say, "Okay, they got the veteran Joe Flacco. He'll start the season off, see how far. they can get him, and then you'll see.

what we got uh from the rookie. quarterback." So, he's getting his. opportunity. This is when it happens a. lot of the times at that quarter mark. when you're like, "Okay, you kind of. reassess, re-evaluate your team." We. talked about the defense. We've been. talking about them all year. You're. going to have a chance every week. trottting out that defense. So you if. you have an offense that can just move. the ball down the field, put up some. points, take care of the football, which. Dylan Gabriel has shown he can do, now. we just got to see him do it on the. highest level. >> Yeah. So not only see him do it at the. highest level, it's like also see him. survive. Just, you know, being a. quarterback in the NFL is very.

difficult. Oh yeah. And it's not just. obviously defense is trying to pick you. apart. I think Dylan Gabriel obviously. with the time he's had, the amount of. different offenses he's played and how. many different defenses he's played. against. We assume he'll be able to. digest what a defense is, but Patrick. Mahome said it wasn't until like his. third year, second two and a half years. that he didn't understand what was going. on. So, there's going to be some big. time shots. Okay, this is the NFL. There's big dudes that are going to give. big shots. AQ Shipley here, obviously. 12-year NFL offensive lineman, uh. Remington award winner at the Penn State. University. Is there things uh that that.

offensive line is thinking with a guy. who 510, 59, 5, >> whatever it is? Is that. >> he's got cleats on? He's not 5'8. Come. on. >> Can you put a graphic 51? Like he was. damn near out of card. >> No, he's on his He's We try to make it. as real as possible because we're trying. to represent the fact because that is a. story line. >> It's like, hey, this is a huge story. line, especially with a BFO defense. where what you see isn't necessarily. what's for real. though the whole you. got 6'5 6'7 guys trying to protect you.

He's 5'11. Okay, so he's. >> that's not that small. Everybody needs. to get off his back, >> but. >> people are talking about it being real. small though, which I don't love. But. he's got like 6'4 6'5 around him. That's. why quarterbacks being tall is like what. the prototype is because not only are. you seen over the defense and being. able, you're seeing over your own. [ __ ] guys. I mean, there there's a. lot of meat around you. I think we're. gonna talk about that even later. How do. you feel about what the Cleveland Browns. have set up for him offensive linewise. in Stfansk's offense? Do you think Dylan. Gabriel is going to have success?

>> I love their offensive line and here's. why. Because they are built center, both. guards really good on the interior. offensive line. The defense is going to. want to make him feel like the walls are. closing in. The whole purpose of the. pocket on offensive line is the tackles. create the width. The interior guys. create the depth. Well, the good news is. those interior three, Batonio Pochic and. Wyatt Teller are as good as any three in. the National Football League on the. interior. >> In Stfansky's offense, what is his. offense? I I remember watching Baker. throw Yeah. >> 60 times with a separated shoulder,

>> taking Nick Chub off the field because. he was doing well. >> Yeah. So, I I know that, but he. certainly had success obviously when him. and Flaco were flying around making the. playoffs doing that. Stfansky's known as. an offensive guru. Obviously, they have. a run game. They're going to have to at. Cleveland. But what type of offense what. is Dylan Gabriel going to have to do in. this particular offense? >> He comes from the world of zone schemes. and play actions. I mean, he likes to. push the ball down the field off of his. play actions. And that I think can. benefit Dylan Gabriel because now you're. moving the pocket. You're not having him. sit in the middle of the pocket where. hands can bat passes down. Now you get.

him outside the pocket after running the. ball, running the ball, running the. ball. Now we hit the play action. Get. him outside the pocket and hit something. down the field. >> Joining us now, go ahead. >> No, the key is going to be getting the. ball out of his hands quick against this. Flores defense. You saw that's how A-Rod. had success last week against this. defense cuz you sit back there, you. getting third and long. You got to be. able to run the ball as well. You. getting third and long, dead in the. water against this defense. >> Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. going to be a first ballad Hall of. Famer, a man who is already in the. Houston Texans Bull Ring of Honor.

>> He's also calling games for CBS every. single Sunday. And he's done a fantastic. job every time we've heard him talk. about the game. Ladies and gentlemen, the owner of the Burnley Lads and the. Espanol Boys, JJ. What? >> J. >> How you doing, Jage? >> Hey guys, how's it going? >> Hey, man. You ever been to Augusta? You. ever been uh you ever been down there? >> No big deal. >> That's unbelievable. >> Good for you. Good for you. >> Have you done this down there?

>> No big deal. Played the course 103 part. of the first hole. No big deal. >> Wow. Okay. >> Amen Corner, how'd you do? Amen Corner, how'd you do? >> Not good. Not good. Not good. >> Okay. >> Not good. >> I'm happy to hear that. >> But man, what a place. What a place. >> Yeah. No big deal. >> Did you stay the night? Did you stay the. night there? >> Where? >> At Augusta. >> Uh, not on the grounds. >> Oh, >> I didn't know. I didn't even know that. was a real thing. >> But I mean, I got dressed in the.

Champions locker room. >> Had breakfast up there. hard the first hole. Should have walked. off the course after the first hole. >> Great start. >> Did you do dinner? Did you go to dinner? >> I mean, I ate food. I What? What are you. asking? What did you. >> I didn't do the. How about me? I'm not talking about me. Just people I know, friends of mine. You. didn't do the tour of the place. You. didn't go down into the the one seller. >> Oh, you didn't do any of that. Wow. That's crazy. Weird. How about the the. the amateur uh cabin up there?

>> Did you go up there? Did you go see. that? No, I did not go up there. >> Oh my god, that would have been so cool. if you were done. I've heard other. people got to do that. >> Yeah, it would have been. It would have. been Well, appreciate the invite, you. know. >> Yeah, somebody could invite you and me, too, by the way. Somebody could could. invite me. Let's get uh off of that. subject. Let's get to you in a 5'11. quarterback. Okay, they're making a big. deal out of this. Should they? And what. are your thoughts on Dylan Gabriel. taking over for the Cleveland Browns? >> Uh my thoughts are I hope he's great. Uh, I would love for the Cleveland.

Browns jersey that that one with all the. quarterback's names on the back to be. retired. It would be fun to have a guy. just end it and you could just have one. jersey uh with one name. So hopefully. that's Gabriel because I think it would. be great. I think the Cleveland Browns. have a phenomenal fan base who are fully. on board with their team and support. them through a whole lot of [ __ ]. throughout the years and it would be. great if they were great uh at some. point. Um, so I'm all for it. Now, as. far as his stature, there have been.

short quarterbacks who have been. successful before. I don't think it's as. crazy in today's world with the rules. and how we protect them. Um, but there's. no question that it does present its. challenges and batting down passes is a. real thing. That's not like a myth where. it's like, ah, they don't get b passes. batted down. It is easier to bat down a. pass that comes out at a lower. trajectory. It's just a fact. >> Yeah. And that's just physics, I. believe, is the math. Uh, that would be. the one in charge of that. I think is no.

geometry. No, >> probably both. >> Man, I wish I knew. >> You got it. You got it. Work it out. Work it out. >> Well, I just trying to figure out what. scientific fact that you are so you. don't get accused of going after him. because maybe he's under six foot, which. a lot of people are uh kind of doing. You're just trying to say, "Hey, this is. just actual science here. This is actual. math here. a ball that is starting from. a lower place is going to be easier to. maybe stop from getting from a higher. place. But there has been success in the.

past. Obviously, everybody goes. immediately to Drew Brees because the. way Drew Brees was able to operate and I. think he's 6 foot maybe just even. The. way he was able to operate was literally. through passing lanes that were. >> somehow in every single play. I I I. don't know how he was able to find them. He always looked out of the bottom of. his helmet, it looked like, and he was. able to wheel and deal. Amazing. But. everybody's like, "He's done it, so. other people have done it." It's like, >> "Yeah, >> I think that's a lot.". >> I don't think that batting passes is. like I don't think that's going to be. the defining factor if he's a good.

quarterback or not. Batting passes is so. rare, even if you're one of the best in. the league at it. It still happens so. rarely that yeah, you might get two in a. game, but that's not going to decide if. Dylan Gabriel is a great quarterback or. not. >> What if Dylan Gabriel is exactly what. they needed over there? That would be very sweet, especially for. that Browns team. They and I think all. pass rushers would feel this way. Yeah. We want the team that paid $40 million. for a pass rusher to have success. We we.

would like other teams to see that and. be like, "Yep, yep, yep. This is how you. this is how you win in this entire. thing." But that defense, >> that defense is rolling, dude. That. defense is very, very, very good. And as. a defensive guy who's kind of been. through that before, uh I understand. Am. I Am I freezing? Am I a little choppy. over here? >> Yeah, you're a little choppy. Not the. audio, but definitely your face. Yeah, we caught your face about half, you. know, one of those types of moves. >> Good technology. >> That Burnley connection.

>> Maybe it's that soccer ball. What is. that soccer ball behind you? Maybe it's. radiating too much. >> Uh my wife My wife has the fastest goal. in US history. She scored in 48 seconds. in her first ever appearance. >> What? >> I knew it was radiating too much energy. It was glitching the internet. I mean, how many say this stat again? What? How. many seconds? >> Fastest goal in US women's soccer. history. 48 seconds. >> Wow. >> Hell yeah. >> Into her first game. She came on, subbed. on, scored a goal immediately.

>> So, what did she How did it work out? Did she slice and dice the entire team? Did she What was it? >> Yeah, she picked it up uh just past half. the halfway line, took it down and put. it in the back and then it was it was. the coolest. I mean, I we did like we. were still a little early in the days. there and I was like, "This is [ __ ]. awesome. This is what we need. This is going to. be all the time.". >> Yeah. Fastest of all time. That's. incredible. I love what your boy Ka and. your kids are going to be like. Mama and. Dada.

>> Very athletic. Uncle, very athletic. Uh before we dive into. football talk, TJ said on a show that. we're not allowed to show. Okay. That. guy's awesome. uh I think noted awesome. guy, but TJ talked on a show about uh. the amount of food that you guys ate as. kids. >> Is it what? So, every once in a while. we'll see you put out one of those. rocklike posts where uh. >> you look like. >> an [ __ ] I'd say with the amount of.

food you put out there, but that is. literally just what you guys grew up. doing is just housing food. Is And is. this the cheat code? Are you doing this. to your kids right now? It was uh he's not lying. It was two. breakfast, two lunches, two dinners. every day. Um and I it was the gallon of. milk a day for the household. Um it was. just Yeah. I mean, my dad and my mom. were very conscious of like they knew. that we needed to put on weight and if. we wanted to be athletic, we needed to. grow. Um and it was a whole lot of food.

And I think he told the story about. peanut butter and jellies packed in the. backpack for lunch for snacks at school. So you'd have your two breakfasts in the. morning, you go to school, you eat your. PB&J, then you go get your double lunch. at school, and then the afternoon you. have a PB&J, and then you come home and. have two dinners. So. >> unbelievable. >> Insane. >> Is that every day of your life? How long. do we do this for? >> Um I mean it it was basically until the. end of my playing career for sure. Uh. that's I had to learn to slow down and. be like, "Hey, like once I retired, you.

had to be like, "All right, you can't do. this anymore.". >> Yeah. Well, >> I don't think you can do it ever. I I. think that is one of those things that. if you would stay there for How What. year did you How old were you when you. retired? >> Uh I was 33. 33. >> 33 years old. 33 years of eating like. that. Think about how many calorie Just. think about the amount of peanut butter. and jelly sandwiches this guy. >> What kind of workouts in between? >> Yeah, we doing swimming in the morning.

like what how many workouts a day? There. was there were some there were some. times where it was ridiculous. I mean, there were there were two a day workouts. on practice days in the NFL. It was it. was dumb. I've I've said it before. There were times where it was dumb. Just. But you don't know. You got It's like. that thing. You got to push it to the. limit until you find the limit. So, you're like, "All right, I got to be the. best by working harder than everybody. else. So, I need to work harder than. I've ever worked." And then you get and. then all of a sudden you blow out your. back and you're like, "Okay, there's the. line. Let's back.".

>> I'm not I'm not even talking NFL. I'm. talking like when you're in seventh. grade like what is cuz you're eating cuz. some people may see this and say all. right let me just feed my kids and [ __ ]. and they become fat so what type of. >> yeah 500 lb life. >> yeah this is not a recommendation but. there was a lot and it's this isn't like. a thing where we were like yes dad give. us all this food we just were hungry to. be great like there was some push back. there was some like dad like. >> we don't we're we're full I don't want. to eat I don't want to work out. >> I'm not hungry dad just stopping me PBJ,

>> I don't like peanut butter and jelly. anymore. >> It sucks now. >> I understand. We. >> But. >> go ahead. >> It's like we're we're very fortunate. I. mean, I've told the story many times. My. mom was a secretary, worked her way up. to become the vice president. My dad was. a firefighter. We were middle class, not. rich, not poor. But they spent their. money trying to better us like that. They wanted us to be great. They they. took it. And I'm we're very very. grateful and thankful for that. >> Hell yeah. To the watch. >> Hell yeah. Watts.

>> Hell yeah. To the Watts. Okay, let's. talk about a watt. Uh TJ, we actually. had to do a little bit of journalism and. uh get the truth obviously. What's Is. that a full-sized mug? >> Oh, yeah. >> You got an Andre the Giant type. situation. Wow. >> You got an Andre the Giant type. situation whenever he's holding that. beer can. You look. >> It looks like a Dixie cup. >> That is That is That's a small That's an. espresso. That's an espresso cup. >> This is a uh 12 oz cup. >> You're a monster. Two PB&Js. They.

sandwiched the double lunch. So, think. about this. PB&J lunch. >> Lunch. >> PB&J. That's lunch. >> That is what lunch is. And then he holds. this mug and that thing disappears. Let's talk about another Watt that has. lived a life like that and took over. another country. What a performance. Go. ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, JJ, what were your thoughts on the. uh Ireland game as a whole? Pretty sweet. atmosphere. Obviously, we uh we called.

you and kind of weird that TJ decided to. lie because everyone knows that when he. punted that ball into the the Hogan. stands, it was clearly an ode to Gaelic. football. So, little weird that he. wouldn't just be honest about that, but. I get it. Uh but overall, what did you. think of this whole uh kind of. experience over in Ireland? And we. already are getting some of like the the. stats back in the viewership. This was. the second uh most watched NFL Network. international game in history. So, it. looks like we will be going back to.

Dublin once again, the aisle, if you. will. >> Oh, um I'm massive fan of Ireland. Been. over there many times. I love it. I. think the NFL, Dublin, everybody in. Ireland knocked it out of the park. It. looked incredible. It was a fun game to. watch. I think the only change that I. would make to it is the winning team. should stay the next day. Like there. should be a pub crawl for the winning. team after. >> I feel like that would be next level. because you can't. >> you can't win the game in Dublin and.

then just hop straight on a plane and. come back. You have to hit the pub. >> They should have a little crawl set up. for that. I think that'd be easy to call. in contact. >> Mcuade would definitely set that up. >> Yeah. >> Over here. Actually, they got a got a. tunnel over there. This. >> me under this tunnel lot. Don't worry, we'll be there in two seconds. They. should definitely. >> or like at least at minimum on the field. after the game like on Thanksgiving when. they give the turkey leg, you got to. just be chugging Guinness on the field. after the game. >> Yeah, I think I saw your brother and Cam. Hayward maybe afterwards had a pint they. were sharing and maybe some more were uh.

shared behind the scenes as you're on. the bus and heading to the airport and. everything. But you're right, why not. for the Irish game have it be different? What's the difference? Oh, you go on a. pub crow afterward. That'd be sweet. >> That would be a sick thing. Now granted, definitely going to need a buy after. that. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. maybe two the game certainly one thing. >> very interesting what Minnesota's doing. very interesting that's I'm very excited. to watch and see how this plays out for. him. >> okay so they said they'd rather do this. than go into Pittsburgh or into. Cleveland so what are your thoughts on.

that like obviously the travel is its. own animal and every team has to be. comfortable with what they're doing and. there's no right answer obviously people. have left early people have left late I. don't even think you're allowed to leave. too early anymore because of what rules. are teams have won teams have lost. whatever it is in the travel. Obviously, guys say like, "Well, I'd rather save my. by-week for later. I don't want to do. it." It's like, I don't know what the. right answer is. I don't know if there. is a right answer. But choosing uh. Ireland and London over Pittsburgh and. Cleveland in theory made sense to me. whenever I heard it. I would have never.

thought of it that way. >> Yeah. I think for me the big difference. here is there's a difference between. going and staying two weeks and playing. two weeks in the same place where you're. kind of settled into the hotel, you're. settled into the practice facilities, you got your routine, then going to. Ireland, playing a game in Ireland, then. switching countries, going to London, getting yourselves all reset up at the. hotel and everything, and then playing a. game there. I do think that that's. different than like a Jacksonville. staying over for 2 weeks. Um, just.

because of how much difference there is. I mean, practice fields and ice bass and. everything is different. You have to. reset up and pack pack and everything. So, I mean, maybe I'm making too big of. a deal out of it there, but there's. there's no doubt that the upheaval of. your normal routine can affect you as a. player. >> I think so, too. And it's a lot of. [ __ ] there. Checking in, checking. out, what's the new this, what's the new. that. Obviously, we're on different. time. When do we talk to the family? Is. the family here? What does the family. need? I mean, there is there's just a. lot that goes into that on the human.

side. So staying focused on the game is. obviously a whole another task at hand. I uh the Vikings are going to be looking. to win this week. I mean if they go 0. and2 they're going to be looked at as. doofuses. Not only do you pick up two. losses which you might have been able to. steal one maybe in Pittsburgh and. Cleveland which is but also now your. team has been international for two. weeks. How do you get back on to. Minnesota? I mean it's. >> there's going to be a lot of questions. if they go 0 and2 and they were close. Carson Wentz almost brought him back in. The Carson Wentz experience JJ was. happening right in front of our eyes.

over there in Ireland. It was a special. time and now it heads to London to take. on Dylan Gabriel. We can't wait for. another 9:30 a.m. kickoff. We're looking. at the games for this weekend across the. board. Uh no, let's let's make sure we enjoy the good. ones. >> They're going to be on We got a couple. good ones. >> Yeah, we got a couple good We certainly. got a couple good ones and we will enjoy. those. Thursday night's a big one. Rams, ners, that's a big big game.

>> That's a good game. That's a very good. football game. Looking forward to that. >> That's Thursday. >> Check out the rest here, >> man. Really wish Buccaneers talks. >> Yeah, that that matter. On that note, JJ, I know uh this would be a great. game. Two former first round. quarterbacks found their footing, doing. their thing. Two great Ohio State wide. receivers, Jackson Smith and Jigba. Ibuka. But uh I know something near and. dear to your heart. Jerseys, >> swag. all time jersey matchup here. Which way.

are you leaning right here between the. Bucks and the throwback Seahawks. jerseys? >> Dude, I I do not know if you are going. to see a better uniform matchup this. year or even potentially in coming. years. I mean, that is top top tier. The. thing I love about the Bucks, we all. love the Crim Creamsicles, but there are. some people that it can overwhelm. this. with the white understated the. creamsicles allowed to pop but it. doesn't overpower you but I like see the. so and also here's the thing for me the.

creamsicles that's a perfect throwback. you you get that out here once or twice. a year but the Seahawks that's got to be. their fulltime you got to go back to. that fulltime that is a top top tier. uniform combo. >> shout to Ari Mirov piecing this. beautiful thing together obviously for. us on the internet to remind us of this. game happening but anytime you get good. unis on the boys know they're probably. going to get to keep them. >> So if you get to keep them, you would. like the memory to be a good one. >> So obviously I think there is a little. heightened environment, heightened. atmosphere whenever you have a good uni.

Now if you got an ass uni, which some of. these teams have certainly rolled them. out. >> Oh yeah, >> some guys don't even want to keep the. jersey after. So it's like ah who. [ __ ] you know? So sometimes the. jersey can weigh a lot more than in. other games and I think in this one it's. going to be beautiful. Now the Falcons, you just got a chance to go learn more. about them. Connor has a question for. you, JJ. >> Yeah, JJ Bejon's been off to an. unbelievable start. Uh he leads the team. in rushing and receiving and this is. kind of a trend almost right now with. some of these running backs. I know. Bucky Irving is up there after his.

100yard uh day on Sunday and then. there's a few others. McAffrey kind of. scattered in there, but Bean's by far. the most dominant player uh for his team. out of any of those running backs. How. do you feel about Bejon possibly, you. know, making a run at the MVP? I know he. plays running back uh and it's a. quarterback award, but do you think he. might, you know, go on a little run here. and also same note uh Puka Nakua too? >> Yeah, I mean obviously two incredible. players you're talking about here. I had. a chance to watch Bjan up and close this.

week and like you said leading his team. in receiving, leading his team in. rushing and just dynamic. It's. incredible to watch him play. His jump. cuts, his explosion after the cut, his. ability out of the back field, and. something that's extremely underrated, but he's very good at is his blocking. He's a really good blocker, a willing. blocker. So, I think if the Falcons can. get on a little roll and their offense. plays like they did last week and not. like they played against Carolina, there's certainly conversation that.

should be starting around Bjan Robinson. and that that tier of that MVP level. tier if they can get on a little bit of. a run. But just because of everything. that he does, um, also just a great kid. It was a lot of fun to talk to him. It. was he seems to have just a great head. on his shoulders. He trains with. McCaffrey in the offseason. He wants to. grow. He wants to get better. Um he's. he's definitely the type of guy that you. love to see hyped up in this league is. just all about ball and loves ball. >> Okay, so let's go to the next game that. you're calling. That was last week. Uh I.

can't wait to hear who's catching your. eye, but there's another man uh that is. going to be uh not calling has been. calling games, too. And I don't know if. you guys have shared any insight on what. it's like to be good color commentators, but I do know you guys have shared like. uh similar thought or maybe differing. thoughts on maybe a play. Uh AQ. Shipley's here, obviously 12 year NFL. vet. He posted the other day. I don't. know if you saw this. There was a Dion. Dawkins play and AQ I bas basically what.

you said is like hey this is this guy's. superpower. This is what Deion Dawkins. do, right? Is that not what you said? Yeah, I love him. Every time he sees. that DN drop, he's looking to break some. ribs. And not only does he get one, he. gets two. >> He gets two. >> Now, J, we have heard that maybe you. have a thought on this particular play. about uh celebrating Deion Dawkins. looking for ribs, looking for work, looking to help out there. J, >> I do have some thoughts. None of them. are about Deion Dawkins. Deion Dawkins. is a phenomenal football player, great.

football player. This has nothing to do. with him. This has to do with AQ Shipley. and acting like this like we just took. two blindside shots completely legal, completely fine. No problem at all. I. get it. It's part of the game. But this. I don't know like. it's like you budd. where I'm unblocked and I post a free. sack and it's like that guy's a beast. It's like well I mean the guy. quarterback laid down for me. He was. just laying there and I touched him for.

the sack. >> Yeah. Just curious how many sacks you. had on TT stunts, TE stunts, ET stunts. Just curious as the guy picked the [ __ ]. out of the tackle un when his eyes. aren't looking at him. Boom. And then. you come free. Isn't that the same. thing? >> Pretty similar. >> But I didn't post it on the internet and. say, "Wow, look at how dominant this guy. is." Like he knocked somebody's he. knocked somebody's ribs out that wasn't. looking. Yeah, I I got knocked out by. Ben Scoronic one time flat on my ass. >> Good ball player. >> And they the Rams posted it for like. three weeks straight, rightfully so. But.

like I wasn't looking. I had no idea it. was coming. It was from the outside. And. yeah, it's pretty easy to knock somebody. on their ass when they're not looking. >> Yeah. AQ JJ saying, "Hey, AQ, maybe. let's not be glorifying things that. maybe most people could do." Dion. Dawkins has a lot of other tape that. maybe we should be celebrating. Is that. what you're saying, JJ? >> Yes. Thank you. No problem. >> I think AQ could go out there and knock. those dudes out right now in the same. situation. I think McKenzie might be. able to. >> and I would love every second of that. >> McKenzie could potentially do that. But. you say uh you're celebrating because.

you don't. >> Here's why I'm celebrating and this is. why. Because. >> for the rest of the game, >> they run a zone blitz and they draw up. the end. That three technique has to. think about it. That not only does the. three technique have to think about it, now the nose guard has to think about it. because Deion Dawkins, your left tackle, not only hit the three technique, now he. comes and gets the opposite nose guard. And so because of that, I'm celebrating. It's a heads up play. Not every tackle. does that. You know that. We've watched. a million tackles just sit there and eat. up space. But to have the wherewithal, to have the heads up, to be able to go. back in and get one, not only get one, but get two. Now everybody's thinking.

about on the defensive side of the ball. >> I I do agree with your argument there. I. do agree that not everybody's cleaning. that up, that not everybody is is doing. especially the second one. I agree and. that it is an effort thing. There's no. doubt. >> nothing wrong with any of that. I will. >> now. I'll give credit. I'll give credit. You. called him a wrecking ball. You didn't. say it was dominant. You just said he. was a wrecking ball, which I guess.

technically in that sense he was a. wrecking ball. >> Wow. And he kind of came in like a. wrecking ball to your argument there. That's. >> queue up the song. Queue it up. >> Wrecking ball. >> Go ahead. Hit it. >> I came in like a wrecking ball. >> Yes. One nothing. >> Yes. We like that. Good win. AQ. Hey, these guys pitch a shut out right now. >> Seven and a third innings. That's right. >> You got some real magic cooking there.

Okay. Uh, now followup. He does want to. ask you a question about the game you're. about to call. >> Yeah, it's a game we thought was going. to be a lot better when the season. started. Texans, Ravens, you're calling. it. Your guy Matt Burke calling plays. What is he bringing that's different. than the previous coordinator and what. are you seeing? Obviously, you love this. guy. Love to hear your thoughts on that. >> Yeah, I mean Matt Burke obviously. calling the defense for the first time. last week and getting a shut out. Um, first time since 2010. I was I was a. little sad to learn that I never had a. shut out in Houston. I just assumed we.

had one. Didn't. Um but. >> that's. Yeah. But also like it's you know the. Texans defense is dominant. They're. unbelievable. First in points per game. Um Titans we know have their own issues. and struggles. So there's no doubt about. that. But I think more so than B calling. defense, which he is a fantastic. defensive coordinator and knows what. he's doing, is it frees up to Mo to just. be the head coach and to go out there. and sometimes go help the offense or. talk to CJ to just focus on the. decision-m and to kind of play that. global CEO as opposed to having double.

duty with the coordinator calling the. plays and head coach. Uh, which I think. is huge. I'm a big advocate for the CEO. head coach as opposed to the. coordinator/ head coach. And I think. this is a great step for the Texans. >> There's obviously been some that have. been massively successful as play. callers and head coaches. Andy Reid is. who we all kind of point to as the guy. who's been able to do it for so damn. long. But I enjoy the thought of a CEO. head coach as well. Being able to tap in. with everybody, spend more time. connecting with everybody and also.

spending your life doing things that are. good for the whole team as opposed to. just one side of the ball. But a lot of. these guys were getting jobs because how. good they were at calling plays. It's an. interesting dynamic. It's almost the. Peter principle in some of those. situations where like, hey, you get the. job because of how good of a play caller. you are, but then you take the job and. you say, well, I can't be a play caller. anymore. So now you have a completely. different job. >> that you didn't get the job because of. It's an interesting. >> Good luck to everybody out there. >> Go get it. >> Hard job. >> Hard job. Coaching as a as a whole is an. incredibly hard job. Are the Texans.

back? >> I I think this weekend is going to be a. big one to tell us that. I mean, I like. we all know the Titans are struggling. right now, so that that is a tough one. to use as a measuring stick. Uh the. first half did not look good, only up. 6-0 after the first half, but then they. came out in the second half, did what. they're supposed to. This week, I mean, the Ravens are decimated by injuries, just not just Lamar everywhere. They. have guys out left and right, and. they're already the 32nd ranked defense. in the NFL. So, >> it's I I've kind of build I'm kind of.

building this one a little bit. Uh on. Sunday, we're just talking about it. It's on one hand, it's the immovable. object versus the unstoppable force. You. have Derrick Henry in the offense who. are third in points per game against the. Texans defense who's first in points per. game. >> On the flip side, you've got the movable. object versus the. stoppable force. Texans offense hasn't. been great. Ravens defense is 32nd. So, it's just going to come down to who. executes better. And if the Texans. offense actually is back on track and. rolling, could be could be coming.

around. How'd the Colts do last week? >> All right, we should have won that game. We're dropping balls. We're holding on. in penalties. We got one guy made a. couple mistakes, but guess what? He's. dynamic on the field, so we're going to. make sure he gets it right. And it's a. good time to lose a game. >> It is. >> It's good time to lose game especially. to or tie game. Your thoughts, J on the. Colts should have won this game. We all. know that. Talked to Matthew Stafford. afterwards. Matthew Stafford said, "That's good team over here." Yeah, he. did. >> Yeah, that's good team over there. That. was good news. That's all I need to.

hear. Let's talk about the tie from you. So, I need to hear your thoughts on uh. Cowboys Packers Maka to Jerry World. Did. you see Micah come out with the band on. his waist still for warm his first time. going onto the field back on Jerry. World? He had a band around his waist. like a one of those warm-up bands. He. kind of just kept it for the entirety. and at one point he he grabs it so he. knew it was there. But that was. interesting to me. I'd never seen that. before. But what do you think about it. ending 4040 tie ball game and Jerry. Jones going, "Well, they got Maka. And.

we got we got and we tied. >> So you tell me what are your thoughts, Jade? >> Uh I didn't see the workout band until. now. That's that's a that's an. interesting one. Uh. >> accident. You think that's accident? >> That'd be really tough to be an. accident, man, because that is very. restricting around your hip flexors and. clearly your glutes. Uh I I think you. would know that that was there, but I. don't know. I guess um the four it was a.

crazy game. It was a wild game. I. haven't seen any Jordan Love quotes. since. But like, did he know that that. was the game was going to end if if that. clock hit zero at the end? >> Well, the floor seemed to not know that. Uh, he said that today and he was like, "Wow." I was just thinking on the. sideline like, "This is going to be bad. We're not even going to get another. playoff." So, uh, but he did say. >> when when. >> Yeah, he said he said that. He said, you. know, I started looking up at the clock. and it was going down and I was. thinking, "Oh my god, we're not going to. get a playoff." Um, and then that's what.

happened. >> That's what it looked like. >> Yeah. Bingo. Bingo. But he did say, you. know, it's. >> he didn't lie. We appreciate him not. Let's give him his floor for not lying. >> And he did say that was embarrassing and. that can never happen again. >> Man, >> there you go. >> Do we hear him, Ty? >> It was like watching a slow motion car. crash in front of your face. I was just. looking at the clock like, "Oh my god, there's going to be no time left.". It's a very humbling experience and.

obviously it's unacceptable quite. honestly. Uh I'm I'm sure it'll be teach. tape around the. >> I'm sure everybody will be dunk. True. Very true. >> Yes, they will. Hey uh if we get in a. situation, what are we doing? >> Not what these idiots did. Okay, we are. going to know that we need another play. We're in field goal range. We can tie. It sucks, but we can certainly tie if we. have to. Didn't feel like Jordan. >> watching that live. I thought for sure. that clock was going to at minimum hit. zero and they might put one back on. It's crazy that that clock did not hit.

zero. >> and especially in Jerry world. I think a. lot of people would think Jerry, you. know, especially on big Michael's return. night. You know, there would be a uh. maybe a favorable clock. That thing. stopping at one was certainly uh good. news for Packers fans as McManis came. out and tied that up. But everybody on. earth now just says this shouldn't be. allowed. Jage, your thoughts? I I mean I I can obviously as a fan and. somebody watching the game, I do not. want to see it end in a tie. I want to. see some form of victor. Now, I have.

also personally played in back-to back. full overtime games on a Sunday and a. Thursday. So, I had to play overtime. full 15 minutes on a Sunday, go on the. road on a Thursday at 11:00 a.m. on. Thanksgiving Day and play a full. overtime game on Thursday. So, I played. 10 quarters in five days. That sucks. That is a lot of football. >> and it is. So, I completely get why we. don't. But. >> nobody likes ties, man. Like, nobody. We.

got to find I don't I don't want to go. to like a goal kick situation, but that. would be electric if you just boss the. kickers out there and start backing them. up. >> Golden boot. Yes, we agree. We'd be. taking what soccer has as their only. electrifying thing and adding it to our. game. And it's only happening after an. overtime period. This a lot of football. has already taken place. The boys can't. figure it out. Let's go and get this. done. BA pitched yesterday. Offenses. eight yardd line, one play, score a. touchdown or not score a touchdown. So. instead of the golden boot, just have.

your offense defense go out there one. play ball on the eight yardd line. Obviously if offense scores, defense. gets a stop. Uh that team wins. If both. teams score, >> that's like college after the first two, right? >> Yeah. But I think you got to go for two. in the second one now. I I don't even. think it's the third one, right? I think. that's the big difference. >> Yeah, that rule was changed. One of the. coaches didn't know that just like two. weeks ago. Hey, let's go to hammer don. AP tone that uh second overtime you have. to go for two. Is that was that this.

year, last year? When did that rule. change? >> It's very very recent. I want to say I I. want to say it's this year because I. remember Georgia Georgia Tech last year. they were arguing that uh Georgia Tech. should have gone for two after the. second overtime and they didn't. Uh they. just kept playing overtimes where. >> cuz it used to be the third one. I think. it was used to be the third one. Now. it's the second one. >> But do they still do the thing where. they do dueling two-point conversions. then after like two? >> Yeah. >> No. Are they really? >> Yeah. They where they they don't even go. back to the 25 or whatever. They only do.

two-point conversions. >> Oh, [ __ ] Oh, yeah. cuz Georgia. Yes. Yeah. >> Yes, I do remember that. Yeah, that is. awesome. But just move it to the. >> There's like seven of them. Texas A&M. had the one where it was like seven. They're just going back and forth. >> Maybe just start with that. >> Where are you this week? Where are we at. game day? >> Alabama. >> Mhm. >> Oh, >> hosting Vanderbilt. Alabama pretty good team. Who have they. beat this year? >> That's. No, we don't need to know that. We don't. Let's talk about Vandy. Vandy, let's.

let's hype Vandy up. Let's give Vandy. some love. They're probably first time. on game day. >> Yeah, I think it is. >> for a long time or ever. >> I I think ever. I think every I mean Jay. Cutler had that run right with Vandy. I. assume maybe they had some good hype. then. But just the thought last year. that we're going to maybe try to get to. a V. None of the schedule never lined. up, but it was certainly like a hey, we. got to go we got to go show Vandy to the. world right now that they're a school. This is out of control that they were. able to turn this quickly with just a. couple pieces and a culture change. And.

it's like good for Vandy. So getting a. chance to celebrate them this week while. they travel to Alabama will be fun. Florida State Miami was certainly where. I think everybody thought we were. headed, including us. And then the. Virginia G game happens and they lose. and it's like still a big game, but. after a loss, the fact that game day is. viewed that way, and I'll continue to. say this, it's crazy to be a part of. People are like, "Hey, it has to come to. our gate." Like that's a cool thing to. be a part of. Like that's very humbling. You know what I mean? like, hey, this. game, this sport is so big, so large, so.

much tradition, so much history, so much. pageantry. And it's like, I'm a part of. something that is just considered a part. of the fabric of that entire thing. Very. lucky to to do that. I would like that. to be said. >> It's it's awesome. It's incredible. I. mean, it's literally a part of like it's. it's become just as much a part of. college football as the actual games, which is so cool. And I also have to. tell you this, every week I go into. these stadiums now calling these games. and it's been really cool. Like the. stadium workers, whether it's the.

security people or it's the people. operating the elevators, every single. week so far this season, somebody has. said to me, "Love watching you on the. McAfee Show. I watch that show every. day. It's such it's such a great show.". So you and you guys do a great job. So. your demographic and audience is the. people doing it, out there working, putting in the time, the police. officers, everybody loving it. So, it's. it's been really cool to see that. response. >> Yeah, we're very thankful for the folks. that watch this show, but also we're. thankful for you coming by the show. You're great on our show, brother. Just. like you're great in the booth. We.

appreciate the hell out of you. How are. How are Burnley and Espanol doing? >> We got a big weekend coming up. Everybody plays on Sunday. We got I got. the Texans Ravens. Burnley's got Aston. Villa. Espanol's got Real Bettis. Batis. Bettis. I don't know how to pronounce. >> the Buzz team. That's a good squad in the Liga. That's. a tough game. >> What's the name of the team? Gumps. >> Real Batis. >> Okay. So it's not Jerome B. >> Do we know that for sure? >> Batis in uh in Spain though. >> Okay. We don't know for sure if the bus. is associated with Batis. Uh but they.

are a good team over the Espanol squad. needs. >> Do we continue winning, keep winning, or. start winning again? >> Uh we've been drawing so we we could get. on the W train again. >> See NFL, that's what we're talking. >> Hey, Raj. Raj, you hear what he just. said? That's what they're doing. >> Yeah. >> Okay. against Bettis. Uh. >> Dr. Bettis's team, you know, and they're. calling it football. >> Okay, we can't be doing that. Kamish. enough. >> Immediate meeting 32 only.

>> Let's get a rule done. >> Can't have another tie. >> and change that prime time Thanksgiving. game, too. >> Get angles out there. All right, we. appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. He. is future first ballot hall of famer JJ. >> Watt. the man. J is the man. I uh I'm happy. he's doing well in the booth. >> Yeah, it's awesome. >> He Hey, you are as well, aren't you? >> I appreciate that. >> I saw a video of you calling in. I like. the energy. I like I didn't know you. were sitting on like a little stair in. the corner. >> Yeah, you can get you can get real. tight. I didn't know that either.

>> You get you get with your guy. You're. allowed to be next to your. >> pliable. I'm pliable. I can really. compact down. >> What are you watching there? You're. watching the little monitor. You. watching. >> No, I'm watching live. >> Where the hell is Debbuck going? >> Debb's so upset. He's so upset. He just. he said, "I got to go. You got to go.". >> We had a little We had a little super. duper donuts this morning. >> Oh, yeah. That's right. The dirt donuts. >> A lot of ingredients in these things. >> Dirt. >> Well, A brought some healthy donuts. >> I just assume they're made with dirt. >> I assume that, too. Yeah.

>> No, they. >> delicious. >> Delicious. Okay. >> But I think there's a lot of things in. there that make you dump your pants. >> Yeah, that's everything. >> They're both the dumping donuts. And. Darius is certainly going through that. right now. Hour two will be on the other. side. AJ Hawk will join us. We'll talk. some ball. And then we got baseball, okay? Because baseball's doing it. Schwarbo, Cal Raleigh, and hopefully you. be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice. It might change their life. I actually don't think the quarterback. plays as good as it used to be. Certainly understanding defenses,

understanding pass concepts, being in a. huddle, taking snap counts. I used to. walk into the meeting rooms with on a. Tuesday of 50 plays that I wanted in the. game plan. I'd be hardressed to think. there's any quarterbacks that go in. there. maybe one or two that go in there. with actual plays of what they want to. run. >> came up with. >> Yeah. That I came up with that I were. part of our plan that Payton did the. same thing. There's a lot of guys that. we play with that really understood what. quarterback really meant. I I think the. lack of development in college football.

>> Um I I don't think there are college. programs anymore. I think there's just. college teams and I think the NFL is. getting less and less developed. >> Well, yeah. I mean, I think jumping from. team to team. >> the portal stuff. I don't think you're. learning a lot of really tangible values. that are going to sustain themselves. over time. So the only reason why I. performed the way I did over a long. period of time was resilience, competitiveness. I took on every. challenge. I failed a lot. I didn't have. my parents there to save me. I overcame. a lot of those things. I gained a lot of.

self-confidence from overcoming them. And I just it's a very different era. right now. Even since the 2011. collective bargaining agreement where. the players, you know, didn't have much. time in the facility in the offseason, the two a days got taken away and some. of those are for good reason. I'm sure. there was important reasons why those. things were done, but sometimes the. pendulum swings too far one direction. So before we go too far down the line, you know, I thought we were playing. chess and I think a lot of the guys now. are playing checkers. >> Do you think that's the same for every.

position? You think every position's. kind of struggled in development. >> You think that's true, Pton? >> Tom played four years in Michigan. He. had the same head coach, same offensive. coordinator, came out of that program, and then, you know, obviously because of. his consistent play, played in the same. system for basically his entire career. in New England. He had three different. coordinators, Charlie Weiss, Joshua. Daniels, O'Brien, but it was the same. system, right? But he earned that. respect and he earned that consistency. and continuity. That's how you develop. And it's just tough when I I feel for. NFL quarterbacks already that get.

drafted and they have six different. coordinators in six years. That's hard. to develop. And now that's happening in. college. I mean, you saw the guys that. got drafted this year. A lot of them. went to three different colleges, >> right? >> Hard. It's hard to really develop. I. played for the same coordinator at. Tennessee, David C. >> You move that coordinator in the pros to. Denver. The same. >> Yeah. I mean, look, I was very lucky. I. had 14 years of the same coordinator in. Indianapolis. And when I came to Denver, the Broncos took my Colts playbook and. said, "Hey, circle all the plays you.

want to run. We'll run all those and. we'll add some plays and we'll work. together." But they they basically did. it, you know, based around what made me. comfortable. And Tampa did the same. thing with Tom or at least they, you. know, finally kind of got to that point. They went on to win that Super Bowl in. that first year. And that's just makes, you know, good common sense. And so. David Cut, my coordinator and. quarterback's coach for four years at. Tennessee and kind of remained my coach. throughout my career, kind of my cons. The following program is a collection of. stooges talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic,

listen, we are very, very thankful. >> On the line with a gorgeous assist, >> the alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers, you. stop. Stop. Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our hump on the boat. The Thunderdome. on this AQ Shipley Wednesday October 1st.

2025 hours of the program begins now. Football is magical and we're lucky to. talk about it every single day. But this. hour is going to be a little bit. different. We're going to be talking. about another sport that's in the middle. of a magical another playoff run. wild. card started yesterday continues into. today and then we're gonna find out. who's the next Mr. October. >> Yeah. Who's gonna be banging pennants on. the wall? Who's going to be hitting the. ball further than the other team? And. what pitchers are going to be able to. find that strike zone better than.

everybody else? What names will be. etched in history? What teams will get. to the mountaintop? We have started MLB. postseason. >> Hell yeah. Yeah, >> I guess I could say the MLB postseason. cuz that would be the would be the. postseason. MLB would be the descriptor. >> Correct. >> It's the MLB postseason that is. currently happening. And we've had some. magical moments. We're talking about. backto-back Jacks. We're talking about a. big time comeback and one of the biggest. rivalries in all of sports. And then we.

got a team up there in Detroit. >> Okay. That may be uh. >> Oh, yeah. >> maybe going on a little bit of a run. even though the boys had quite a. collapse at the end of the year. They. tried to scooble 14 strikeouts pitched. an absolute gem. Some people were. calling it the best pitching performance. in all of baseball history. That's a big. win. All right, now there's actually. starting right now. Hopefully they just. win this thing. Let's get out of. Cleveland. Move on to the next round. >> I was watching somebody streaming named. Jason uh the Los Angeles Dodgers and uh.

it was a show at bat and I don't know if. he expected show to go yard but he. certainly did. And in that moment, that. coach Jason, he uh he he lost his mind. and told some truths about this man. This show man is unbelievable. He is the. one. Now, I know Big Dumper is going to. be joining us here in a matter of. moments. >> Kyle Schwarbo is going to be joining us. in a matter of moments here. >> This show guy special, man. >> Yeah. >> The biggest moments he performs, chaos. happening around him all the time,

seemingly an ability to lock in that we. haven't seen but from a few different. people. You talk about the mamba. mentality obviously with Kobe Bryant. with his work ethic and his ability to. lock in. Talk about Michael Jordan. obviously flipping a switch whenever he. gets in to the entire thing. I got to. witness it with Adam Viditary. I'm sure. Serena Williams had her version of how. she would flip a switch and get locked. in and just kind of absolutely dominate. this show guy somehow with fire. literally burning around him personally. and in these stadiums because his. ratings are going up and to the right.

He's building this sport in other. countries. He and obviously in Japan. he's one of the biggest stars on earth. >> NHK ratings. >> NHK ratings up whatever over there. It's. like and then he just steps in the. biggest moments and has no idea like it. is he's almost unconscious this guy. whenever he's playing sports. It's. unbelievable to watch. I'm happy he's a. part of a time that we are alive. Ty. >> Yeah, without a doubt. And the way they. deploy him too like the fact that he's. you know batting lead off a lot. Um it. just their their lineup is so deep so. you can do that but like you could just.

see last night like how demoralizing. that is. Like the Reds have this kid. Hunter Green who throws over 100 miles. an hour. He is an absolute stud. And. then you know you have all this momentum. and excitement for being in the playoffs. and then boom first at bat of the game. show goes yard and it's like oh [ __ ]. here we go again. We got to basically be. perfect from here on out. Comes up a. little bit later. Hits another homer. Tay Oscar who Hernandez who is another. guy who like they were thinking about. maybe letting go but they ended up. bringing him back. He's clutch in the. playoffs. He hits two homers last night.

Tommy Edmond hits a homer last night. Like they just um and it's kind of this. is what you know good teams especially. teams who hit home runs. That's this is. what they do. It's just contagious. Like. once a couple guys run into them then. it's like okay now we're just going to. see guys throughout the order start. hitting homers. And to the Red's credit, uh, they they had a little bit of a. comeback last night and ended up losing. 105. As you can see, Roblo is losing his. [ __ ] mind there. Uh, but yeah, >> great host of Florida. >> It is. It is. But the Dodgers are.

unbelievable once again. And a lot of. people are already looking ahead and. saying, man, if we can get Philly's. Dodgers in the next round, that would be. sublime. >> Well, Schwarbo know, we know he hits it. a long way. We know Harper hits a long. way. Show Otani last night. Hardest hit. home run off a 100 mph pitch in stack. ass air stat. 117.7 miles an hour. That. thing's coming out. >> I thought Judge hit a single that hard. >> Well, this is home run. >> Oh, my bad. My bad. >> Home run. Home run off. Why'd you do. that? >> No, I genuinely was like, well, Judge,

>> why did he do that? >> Judge hit his ball 150 mph. I was like, that's not that fast. >> It was a home run versus single. He He's. been saying single very loud, hasn't it? And it's a best of three. It's a best of. three series. I don't know if everybody. really understands that because there. was a time where these games are best of. one. Do you remember that 12 year NFL. event Super Bowl champ? It was electric. >> AJ Bernett on the mound, Neil Walker, the kid is doing his thing. >> Place is going crazy. It wasn't that. long ago, but it feels like forever. >> It feels like it's never going to happen.

again. >> And it's certainly not within arms reach. at this moment. Even though we got a Sai. Young winner in the entirety of it all. It's not even close. Can't even. >> let's get back to talking ball. That's. not your NFL vet. Dary J ball. >> Hey, you said you said you like um him. batting lead off and. >> Yeah. >> Uh I mean. >> and judge bat second now, right? Yeah. Is that and that is that like very. different? Is that something new? Cuz. I'm used. >> Yeah, exactly. But I think it's just now.

the way it goes. It's like, hey, we want. to guarantee this guy's going to get as. many at bats as possible. And for stuff. like that, it's like when you I who. knows what the percentages are, but when. you hit a leadoff home run, >> uh I would. >> It's like a block punt. >> Exactly. I would imagine you win quite a. bit of the time. >> Yeah, it feels like that's exactly. similar type stat cuz the vibes and. everything. >> Exactly. Dodger Stadium was crazy. >> See, opening kickoff return over, right? I mean, you might as well take it. Uh. Schwarbos, he bat four. >> Uh so he batted lead off quite a bit. last year. He's been hitting third this.

year. >> Okay, so I'm going to ask him. Hey, it. seems like when I was a boy with what. the normal thing was, guys batting. cleanups the best. That's the. >> that's the big bumper. >> That's where you want to be cuz we're. going to get him on base and then our. guys going to come in and hit him in. And then show going lead off has been. like a story basically. And I just. thought to myself, oh, he must not be. like the best hitter because he's also. one of their best pitchers. It's like, no, he is the best hitter on their team, right? Is he the best hitter on their. team by far? Uh, I mean,

>> getting more at bats seems like a much. smarter strategy than depending upon. three people to get on base for your. fourth guy to finally get a hit. I I. don't know. >> Mookie. >> Uh, yeah. Mookie, Freddy Freeman to. Oscar Hernandez. I mean, that's the. thing when you have multiple allars. >> Um, but but no, it's, you know, like. anymore that the thing with show too is. it's like if he doesn't hit a homer, like. >> he's he stealing second, you know, like. he's he's an absolute weapon. And that's. that was always a lot of people with. Schwarber. It's like, well, the whole.

point of your leadoff hitter is to get. on base. So, it's like he's only like a. 240 hitter. You wouldn't say he's a guy. that hits for average, but he hits a lot. of home runs. So, it's it's kind of like. a pick your poison, you know? Do you. want a guy to get a single or a walk or. do you want a guy hit a homer the first. pitch of the game? >> Dumper's hitting. >> uh third. >> Okay. So, third, first, we know. baseball. Joining us now, ladies and. gentlemen, is a guy who won a youth. league baseball championship at the age. of seven in a 10-year-old league. Wow. >> He's a college football national. champion, a Super Bowl champion, a RDER.

Cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ. Hawk. >> Yeah. >> We got new shape on this thing. We got. new shape. >> Just got the Just got the bottom of the. sides trimmed up a little bit just to. keep it clean. That's all I did. >> Can you turn that thing sideways real. quick? Just so we Oh, a little lowfay. I got I got to keep growing out the top. part. Yeah, I saw Show hit that live by. the way. That was pretty magical even. though it was against my uh Cincinnati. Reds, unfortunately. Yeah, Cincinnati. Reds might be uh outmatched in this one, which I think.

>> I actually heard Tai talking yesterday. after I think he had uh Jack and Diet. He said like uh something about home. runs and it was something about the. Yankees. We're not playing the Reds, which is basically what was said, I. think, in a nutshell or whatever. Is. that accurate? >> Uh yeah, pretty much. >> Because you guys are boppers as well, right? Yes. But you're taking on the Red. Sox an old buddy who's a great pitcher. and Red's guy potentially getable for. dong shots is. >> very very good kind of same deal but. like the guy the Red Sox have is very. proven. This kid for the Reds came up.

like very late in the season or you know. about midway through the season and he's. got like skins type stuff. He throws. hard as [ __ ] It moves a lot but it's. still he's still young guy and he you. know he hasn't been in that situation. before. >> And show no matter the situation. seemingly has already been there at. least a thousand times. >> Correct. just so comfortable, so calm. What was I forget the one thing that was. happening? They made a big scene out of. him doing something obviously everything. he does. Big scene, he does the hat tip, then he gets in there. Dong shot. It's. like not the whole energy and attention.

that was just given to Hey, we just. stopped this entire show for you. basically. Yep. Probably right. Yep. All. right, let me uh this what you came for, right? Boom. And it's gone. It's like. just. >> video game. so methodic of a assassin. for his position. Uh we're lucky to. watch it. Okay, let's talk a little bit. of NFL news. In your state, the great. state of Ohio, there's a new starting. quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. Now, stop me if you've heard that. before.

>> Cuz the jersey we got a new start. quarterback, man. We got a new start. We. got a new start. We we got a new. >> couch. >> They're laughing stuff. >> like a sofa. >> They're on ESPN 2 because there's. baseball on ESPN one and they're. laughing at him. No, we're not laughing. at you. We're laughing with you. This. might be the one. Dylan Gabriel drafted. in the third round out of Oregon with a. stop at Oklahoma. Obviously, he can spin. it. He's 5 foot 11. He's taking on the.

Minnesota Vikings and Brian Flores's. defense on Sunday. What do you think the. story line will be, AJ? >> Oh man, the story line will be like you. guys talked about batted balls. We'll. see what happens. I think I don't worry. as much with shorter guys with batted. balls. I worry more about like having. giant O and D lineman in front of you. taking away the passing lane so you. might not see a guy sitting in a void or. whatever. But uh I think Dylan Gabriel. might might surprise some people and. come out here and light it up a little. bit. We know if he just takes care of. the ball and they have success running. it, they can absolutely win any game.

they're in because of that defense. And. Blo's defense just got got a little bit. by Aaron Rogers. Now granted, it wasn't. a 40 piece or anything like that, but. there was some success had by Aaron. What does Dylan and Stfansky take from. that Dut? >> Uh getting the ball out quick. Number. one, we talked about it I think Monday. Uh Aaron Rogers got the ball out two on. average like 2.17 seconds, which is the. fastest since 2016. So, and that's kind. of Dylan Gabriel's I guess superpower. When you are when you do have uh. limitations, you got to do other things. very, very well. the other shorter.

quarterbacks are good at that or. improvise with their legs like you know. younger Russell Wilson or a Kyler. Murray. So, you know, we we shall see. But, uh it is kind of an advantage to. the shorter quarterbacks from the. secondary standpoint cuz it's hard to. see them like if you're in the deep part. of the field, if you're deep half safety. or post safety, a lot of times you get. indicators on quarterbacks when they go. when they take the hand off the ball. A. lot of times you get the these little. guys get lost. Uh so, it's a little. tougher, but obviously they got to deal. with those big boys front. Are we out on. Minnesota or no?

>> Uh, >> lukewarm. >> Lukewarm on Minnesota. I was all the. way. >> As far as being like contenders. >> Yeah. >> Out. >> I don't I don't trust your quarterback. position. >> JJ comes back. >> I don't I don't trust JJ. >> Be beyond that, they were pretty good up. front on defense last year. They let. some guys go. They bring in Hargrave and. Jonathan Allen who they think are going. to shore things up or make it better. These are really good football players. who are just a little bit past their. prime at this point and they're getting. pushed all over the field. >> Yeah, the Steelers surprising. Yeah, Steelers. I didn't expect the Steelers.

to do what they did to the Viking. I I. think we're all rather surprised. >> Van Ginke didn't play on Sunday either, did he? I mean, that obviously, but. yeah, you know, that that was kind of. the that was the big thing with the. Vikings, especially if you're in the NFC. North. It's like, wow, they're getting. all these guy. I mean, that was always. the question, though. It's like they. could have had Aaron Rogers potentially, but they were very comfortable with JJ. >> McCarthy. Sam Darn. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. So, um, we'll see, but I don't think I mean I I. I still think we maybe need to see a. little bit more of JJ, but as of right.

now, Yeah. I don't I don't think you'd. be saying like, "Oh, yeah. This is the. exact same team that, you know, went. almost went 14 and or 15-2 last year and. won the NFC North.". >> I trust KOC. I think we all do. We'll. see what the Minnesota Vikings are. They. have their second international game in. a row coming up against in London. against Dylan Gabriel and the Cleveland. Browns. Let's pivot to baseball. postseason. How you doing? Keep it. moving. This man led the. >> NL. >> in home runs this year for the. Philadelphia Phillies. He's an IU who's.

your absolute icon and legend. Three-time all-star, World Series. champion, ladies and gentlemen. Kyle. Schwarber. >> Schwarb. How you doing, Schwarb? >> What's up, guys? How we doing? >> Hey, do you do you know do you remember. how you did a game? I think you did. really well picking games at game day. Do you recall that? And did you keep up. with that afterwards? >> If I recall, I think I was the the. leading picker that season. I think I. finished eight and one.

>> Are they keeping score or not? Oh, yeah. There is there is a leaderboard. Okay. I'll be. >> There was a leaderboard. >> Yeah. And I'll be at the top of it, I. guess. Crush it. And you looked the. coolest. Let's talk about what you have. going on in your life right now. Obviously, we're postseason baseball. You guys have the longest season out of. any I mean 162 games is is crazy to. think about. Postseason though, you've. had a lot of success in it. Obviously. the Phillies have as well. Do you guys. ramp it up like in football? Regular. season has a speed, playoffs have a.

speed, Super Bowl has a speed. Is that. the same for baseball? And how does that. kind of work? >> Yeah, I mean I think it's one of those. things where it's unsaid. Uh it it it's. you know you play 162 to get to this. point, right? Like 160 162 games, you. know, you get evaluated, you get. everything based off 162. Now when you. come into the postseason, you're not. getting, you know, you get a postseason. share, but it's not like you're getting.

your normal check for uh 162 games. You. know, this is, you know, all about. pride. This is about a team. this about. us figuring out how to win a game, how. to win a series. It does stats don't. matter. No one cares if someone's. hitting 500, someone's hitting 100. It's. did you win the game or did you lose the. game? And uh I think that's the. beautiful part about the postseason that. that it it it just brings out the the. best in everyone and the the s the.

senses get heightened, the fans are uh. heightened, right? this everything is to. another level. And you know, for us. right now, we're you know, we're not. playing the po the postseason's going. on. We're we're just, you know, we got. the. >> Oh no. >> Oh no. >> Oh no. >> He's saying you're trying to get. everyone healthy, but we're still trying. to get an environment. We're trying to. create an environment that's going to be. postseason like. We have an inner squad. game tonight. We're going to have 30,000.

people there watching us play inner. squad and uh it's going to be a blast. >> Hold on. Hold on. Is that breaking news? I I didn't know that was happening. There's going to be uh open inner squad. so that maybe you don't get rusty during. this time. Is this something that you. guys have done in the past? Because in. baseball like especially with 162 feels. like there's a rhythm, feels like. there's a schedule, feels like there's. all those things. So whenever you sit. out these games just it happened in. college football actually the teams that. got all the first round buys because. they were so much better than everybody. else actually lost out on like two weeks.

of ball kind of got rusty had to get. reawoke. you guys feel that way in. baseball and how long have you done. things like this? This is awesome at. right before especially with how your. fans are over there. That place is a. real homefield advantage. 30,000 people. will be there tonight. Does this happen. on a regular basis? >> No, this doesn't this doesn't happen. normally. Uh we so last year we act we. had an inter squad and uh obviously. there was you know friendly uh wream. going on between all the players. you.

know, we wanted to make this feel like. this is worth something that we're just. not going through the motions. And now. you just add in 30,000 people into our. our stadium and I'm like, who are I'm. thinking I'm like, who are people going. to be cheering for and who are people. going to be booing tonight? >> Offense. >> It's all So, this happens in football, as you know, in football training camp. Whenever fans come to the training camp, teams playing against each other, offense throws a 70 yard bomb on our. number one corner on our number one. defense, the fans are going absolutely.

apeshit. You can have your ace out. there, somebody hits a bomb on, they're. going to celebrate the home run, I. think. Do you think so or no? >> Oh, I mean, they're going to be going. wild for any run that's being scored. tonight. I'm like, it it's going to be. interesting. It's going to be fun, but. like this is just for us to stay in that. rhythm, right? Like it's just making. sure that when we do, you know, we know. that whoever comes out of this series. between the Reds and the Dodgers, you. know, they're going to be primed up. They're going to be juiced up. They just. want a big series. And now it's on us to.

match that intensity. And coming out out. of the gate, we're, you know, they just. played a high high intensity series. And. we, you know, we're playing an inner. squad, so we got to match that level. anyway that we can. >> Hey, let's make sure these John's bring. it. They're Jons. The 30,000 Johns are a. big part of this entire thing. Let's. make sure we're bringing it. They're. trying to match what LA felt like last. night, right? For show. I mean, let's I. think they'll step up to the challenge. if I know anything about the people from. Philly. AJ has a brand new haircut. If. you would like to talk about it, he's a. low fade. And other than that, he does.

have a question for you. Schwarbo. >> Yeah, Kyle. So, I was I don't know if. you watched the RDER Cup at all, but uh. the US had a hard time draining putts. And they were talking about, hey, sometimes when in golf is weird when you. try, you continue to try harder and. harder and it means more. You actually. play worse. I feel like baseball, especially playoff baseball, is it ever. like that when you're sitting there and. you're in a batters box, not you. specifically, but have you seen players. to where they put too much on it? Like. how do you Yeah. treat it like this is. we understand the what this is, but it's. just another game and you know, I got to. be free flowing and not sitting there.

and all panic. >> Correct. You know, I feel like, you. know, and I I I can give you a a. specific instance. Uh okay. Last at bat, game 162, top bottom of the ninth. inning, I'm leading off. I'm like I'm. like I'm going deep here. I can just I'm. I'm going to try to go deep. Try to end. this thing. And I look like a freaking. idiot, right? Like just just like not. taking your swing, not taking anything. You're pulling off. You're doing you're. doing bad things, right? And it's like,

why would I ever do that? Why would I. tell myself the one time I'm going to. tell myself I'm going to try to go deep? You're definitely not going deep. you're. going to roll it over the second base. and you're going to look like a like a. ding-dong. So, just just do what you. normally do, you know, like that's. that's the thing is like just because. everything's heightened, the senses are. heightened, that it doesn't mean you. have to be Superman. We're we're all. great. We're all really good at what we.

do. and just with them being in, you. know, say the postseason or say the RDER. Cup, these are the best of the best, right? That you just being you is going. to be great enough, you know, and with. you without you having to go out there. and reach for more, I feel like that. that just brings out a lesser version of. yourself. So the more that you stay. within yourself, >> stay within yourself and you know that. all the preparation that you've done. before the game or on the putting greens. or on the your practice round, whatever.

it is, >> that all that work that you just put. into that, all the tournaments before. that, all the games before that, you. know, those that that mindset that you. had in all those games, it's going to. work out way more than it would if you. try to go out there and try to be the. Superman or whoever it is and trying to. do some more extra things. just just be. you and see what happens because you're. good. You're you're already good enough. >> Maybe you need to go coach that team and. uh speech. >> I love the messaging you just sent out.

there. Yeah, that that sound like a guy. who wears a C on his chest. Uh we. appreciate that messaging. And I also. like the fact we're trying to hit. ding-dongs, not be ding-dongs. You know, we don't want to we don't do anything of. that. And uh and whenever you're. whenever you're whenever you're in the. the highest moments, don't you think. this as a punter kicker that I was I I. was more of like uh I'm an athlete. I'll. put the ball there. You know, I played. so much soccer. I was a very good ball. striker in soccer. Could put the ball. wherever the hell I wanted really. So I. treated like football similar like that.

Like I'll just put the ball through. there. Yeah, but what are you focusing. on? M I'm just going to put I'm just. going to put the ball through the. uprightes. Then in the biggest moments. they come and it's like oh what am I got. to think about here? what what do I need. to do for this to happen? And uh didn't. really have it. Then you rely on your. fundamentals in the biggest moments. Like you legitimately rely on your. fundamentals and it's all your work that. builds your fundamentals. And I think. all of that goes into being confident. Like I think what you just broke down. there is having confidence in your. process. And it's like uh when you start. getting outside of yourself, you don't. believe that what you did was enough,

you know? And that's uh that's like a. phrasing or a way to kind of put your. mindset so you don't do it. It's like do. you trust and believe in yourself? Yeah. All right. Well, go [ __ ] do it then. as opposed to I am prepared enough. Oh. my god, this is this is not I should not. be here right now cuz I've been there. and that is not that's not a fun place. to be with a lot of eyes on you and. baseball is like that every single. pitch. Uh on that note about every. single pitch and you thinking to. yourself, "Oh, I'm going long here. I'm. a pump one." Ty has a question for you. >> Yeah, Schwarbo, playoff baseball,

obviously situational hitting is. paramount. Need to have it. And anytime. you look at the box score, it seems like. typically the teams who perform better. with runners in scoring position always. win those games, but for you. specifically, like I know you just kind. of mentioned it there, but be honest, like are you trying to hit a homer every. single time? The way how violently you. swing, it's just ridiculous when you. make contact. It does seem like you are. going to hit a homer. And is that uh is. that kind of a conversation between you.

and your manager where it's like, "Hey, listen, like we we understand, you know, with the way our lineup's constructed, like that's just what we need from you. We need you to hit homers and we need. you to drive in runs." And you obviously. led the NL in both of those categories. >> Uh so to answer the question, no, I. don't try. And I I feel like that's a. product of, you know, like I said, like. if I'm going to try to do that, that it. it's just not good. And literally my. process every time I'm I'm at the plate.

is, you know, I have my game plan, I. have everything that, you know, I've. watched the video, I've watched this guy. pitch. Uh but it all just comes back to. staying through the middle of the field. and trying to hit a lowline drive, right? like the lowline drive is. probably the most perfect, you know, if. you can go by anything, it's the most. perfect struck baseball uh that you. could have versus, you know, you got to. think about if you're hitting the middle.

baseball, it's going to come off low and. come off high, right? So now, if I go a. little bit down, that's where you start. getting your fly balls that start when. you get your your higher line drives, that's home runs, that's doubles, right? And so if I'm just telling myself I'm. going to stay through the middle of the. field and I'm going to give myself the. most margin of error, right? I'm going. to stay through the middle of the field. So if I'm early, it's going the right. center. If I'm a little bit late, going. to left center, perfectly on time, going. to center. And then, you know, taking.

the result from there. You know, like I. said, our game so such a process. It's a. process ge based game with you're having. outcomes and you can do everything right. and you can be out and then you can do. everything wrong in your process and you. can still get a hit. You know, it's just. it's such a weird game. We're on we're. on offense, we don't have the ball and. they're just chucking it at us, right? So, uh, you know, you gota you gota you just got.

to put yourself in a really good space. and you got to feel like you're just. going out there competing at the end of. the day and feeling like, you know, and. yes, when situations do arise, you know, say guy on second, nobody out, right? My. now my thought process goes to, okay, I. want to drive this guy in, but at the. very least I'm going to get him over the. third base. So now I'm starting to lean. towards middle to right side of the. field, you know, versus, okay, now a guy. on third base, uh, less than two outs, infield might be back. All right, I'm.

taking my shot here to put the ball in. play on any kind of strike and I want to. get this run in. You know, those are. those are things that when the situation. calls for things like you have to be. able to mold your game to the situation. because it's not like it's nobody up, nobody on, nobody out or nobody on, two. outs, right? like you might take more of. a shot with nobody on two outs to try to. hit an extra base hit because now okay. I'm at second base or I'm at third base.

I just hit a home run whatever it is you. just scored a run versus okay guy on. second base or guy on first base nobody. out I'm trying to hit this hole right. here trying to get first and third you. know so those are just all different. things in your head. >> think I didn't know you do I didn't know. you do thinking over there I thought big. strong man. >> walks into box Big strong man walk into. box. He designated hitter. Just go ahead and swing. What does he.

do? Nothing. He designated hitter. He. just goes in there. The amount of. gamesmanship that's going into it is. beautiful to hear. I I really The more. intel the better for me. I was just. completely enthralled by everything. you're saying. When do you know it's a. pitch? When do you know or when do you. know it's a strike? I'm sorry. When do. you know it's coming out of the hand? Cuz normally situation will tell you. that maybe a strike is coming here. And. then as soon as it leaves the hand is. when you know it's a strike. Like when. do you know it's a hitable ball? >> Oh man, that's a great question. I mean.

you. you watch all the video, you watch all. this and you're trying to picture. everything that comes into what's coming. out of the guy's hand and obviously if. you have experience off the guy. previously so you have a better idea of. what the ball is going to be coming out. of his hand. But, you know, yeah, it's. pretty much coming right out of the hand. and you're trying to set yourself in a. good you're trying to set your sights in. a good spot to where the ball's coming. out. So, that should be a strike. You. know, a lot of guys have four or five.

pitches now. So, it's not like, you. know, I can just say it's some two pitch. guy, it's fast ball slider. You know, most starters all got five pitches. So. now you're just trying to really put. yourselves you put your eyes in a really. good spot out there. So when that ball. does come out, you you're you're. recognizing you're on a fast ball and. then you're able to recognize some off. speed and trying to limit your chase. You know, trying to limit that spot to. where your eyes could go to telling you. that could be a strike, but then all of.

a sudden it drops off the table. It's. not a strike and you're swinging in the. dirt. Uh. >> then you look like a ding-dong. Yeah, we. don't want to be looking like. >> you look like a Yeah, you look like a. ding-dong. And. >> we don't want to look like a ding-dong. >> You don't want to First off, first off, what we're trying to do, don't look like. a ding-dong at the plate, >> but. >> hit ding-dongs, but. >> don't be a ding-dong. >> Yes. Yes. And don't look like one, don't. be one. Definitely hit them, though. >> We want the ding-dongs to be hit, but we. don't want to be looking or being like.

it. Uh, okay. tonight. 30,000 people for. an intra squad scrimmage. Connor has the. last question for you. We appreciate. you. >> Yeah, Schwarbo, we've seen the clips. I. mean, some of the highlights that have. been shown of you hitting, you know, dingers in the playoffs have been. amazing. Um, what is that setup like? What is the atmosphere like in Philly? We've went there for uh Wrestlemania, brother, when uh our tribal chief. probably should have won the strap, but. that's neither here nor there. the. casino being right next to the baseball. stadium. That seems like a pretty uh.

diabolical setup just because win. probably good vibes lose. There's some. there's some dangerous areas over there. just in Philly as angry Philly people. after a team loses. Um what is it like. and is that something that you guys kind. of hang your hat on when playing at home. that the fans are going to have your. back? >> Yeah, it really is. Uh I'll never forget. it. in 2022. Uh we go to a Eagles game and I think it.

was their home opener and we're all. looking at each other like, "Whoa, this. place is this place is an animal box. right now. These people are going wild. and we're like th we I would love to. play in this kind of atmosphere." So. then like we go on this like 10 game or. we have a 10-ame road trip. We clench. the playoffs, you know, where we play. the wild card series in St. Louis, then. we go to Atlanta, we play the first two. games there. We've been on the road for.

like a freaking month. And then we come. back the Citizens Bank. We step out. there for, you know, they start calling. our names and stuff. It was like, it. felt like a football game. I'm like, "Holy [ __ ] this is awesome." I'm like, "This this is it gives you goosebumps.". Like, you you just don't expect that. And that's like it's that's that. addicting feeling. That's that like. that's that itch that you have every. single night when you go to sleep that. you can't close your eyes because all.

you're looking forward to is getting. back to that environment. And like it's. just addicting. It's so much fun. That's. why I say it's the best version of. baseball. You get the best fans out. You. get the best environments out there. And. in Philly, I don't think anything can. compare to where, you know, they're. just, like I said, they're pouring. everything they have into you. And if. you're on the other team, good luck. I. mean, I don't I I wouldn't want to hear. some of the things that are being said. to the outfielders or. >> Yeah. They're attacking bunch the the.

the bull the bullpens like I mean I. remember when I was out there as an. opposing player and the things I would. hear with you know 25 30 40,000 people. there I can't imagine 45 just rocking. and roll and ready for a postseason game. what what they're what they're going to. be saying. But it it's it's literally. the best. And I that's why I'm like I'm. I'm I'm I'm itching, you know? I'm ready. for Saturday. I I I just Friday, we're. not going to be able to sleep. >> Why don't we hit a ding-dong tonight for. the John's? Why don't we hit a ding-dong.

tonight? Okay. Hit a ding-dong tonight. We'll donate some money to a charity. Okay. What? You pick the charity, we'll. donate some money. You hit a ding-dong. tonight and have the John's go crazy. Okay. >> Let's do it. Let's do it then. >> Let's put a little bit more on the line, too. You said you guys were having a. little bit uh in in the first time you. did one of these like, "Hey boys, we. need to take this thing seriously.". >> How about for every dong that is hit. tonight, we'll donate a certain amount. of money. We'll figure out what that. money is cuz we have no idea how many. ding-dongs are going to be hit tonight. Uh we we'll certainly look into that to.

figure that whole thing out. Just know. the boys though, uh tell the boys we're. on their side. We want tonight to be a. big one. Ding-dong donations coming from. us for you guys tonight. And uh enjoy. the rest of your run. Thank you for your. time. >> Appreciate you guys. Love it. Thank you. guys. You guys are the best. Have a good. one. All right. >> Ding-dong donations. >> Okay. Don't be a ding-dong. >> Don't look like a hit them though. Hit. ding-dongs. Hit a lot of your man. Ladies and gentlemen,

>> how many are going to happen at that. thing? >> So many. >> 70. >> They're going to start feeding just meat. pitches to them. They're going to have a. whole segment of the game when they know. about this obviously now. >> Throw them meatballs. Yeah. run the. video on the jumbotron. Don't know if. you guys heard this earlier. >> Guys, don't don't tell Pat, but we're. basically gonna do a glorified uh BP. right here. They're just gonna be. hitting dinger after dinger. >> Need the crowd to react in a need you. guys to have energy every time. Act as. if it's not stage.

>> Yeah, a lot of surprise. We'll get him. We'll get him. >> What if they hit like 35 homers tonight? >> We I did not put a number on cuz I do. not know what this is. 30,000 people. showing up. I've I've never heard of. that before. That's awesome. >> You know who else is doing that? >> Who? >> The Mariners. >> Are they? >> The Mariners are doing a I just saw. either a tweet about Yeah. Today's. postseason scrimmage tweeted on October. 1st by the Seattle Mariners uh Twitter. account. I believe that is them. Yes. 738,000. Today's postseason scrimmage. game just got a little more fun. Hall of.

Famer Ichiro Oh. >> will be patrolling right field for the. home team. >> Oh, hell yeah. >> There's still time to snag a $10 ticket. The Mariners are also doing one of. these. This is a good idea. I like that. our teams are doing this. >> Can we stream these? Got to be a. >> got to be a platform to stream these at. somewhere. Joining us now, he's a man. who uh. >> I'll tell you what, I don't know if he's. on his team or not. Ichiro is going to. steal a [ __ ] homer from this guy for. sure. >> No questions asked tonight. This guy. hits more ding-dongs than anybody else. in the league. Plays catcher, hits from.

both sides of the plate. That plate's. never been more surrounded by greatness. than whenever this man steps onto that. diamond. We got a chance to chitchat. with him uh during the All-Star break. out at the home run derby where he and. his entire family stole the show. Ladies. and gentlemen, they call him Big Dumper. because he has a fat ass. That's from. all the squatting, lifting, and the. explosivity that this man has throughout. his entire core. This is Cal Rley. >> Dumper, what's up, dude?

>> Hey, how we doing, guys? >> Hey, thank you for joining us. Mustache. looks phenomenal. I think that's a very. good look. I know you got a little. Scruff McGruff down here. Are you going. to go with just mustache throughout the. playoffs or have we thought about an. idea of how we're going to look yet? >> No, I got to clean it up a little bit. It's getting a little messy. So, might. might wait till the couple days from now. to get it cleaned up before the game. >> Can you do a twisty doohoo on this? Can. you uh can you get a mustache to do the. twisty woo? You know what I'm talking. about. >> Yeah. Yeah. Put the wax in it. I can't. No, not yet. It's not not not quite.

there. So, >> Oh, but if we were to go on a run here, maybe by World Series. Let's not think. about that, though. Let's think about uh. what's right in front of us. You guys. have a scrimmage tonight that Ichiro is. going to be in right field. Is that. accurate? What are you guys expecting? We just talked to Schwarbo. You know, I. think you just heard us chitchatting. about it. They're going to have 30,000. people. They said that they're trying to. match what the intensity could be or at. least the emotions a little bit of what. the team that they're going to be. playing against has right now during. their wild card series. Is this similar. for you guys? And what are you expecting.

tonight, Cal? Yeah, I mean I uh I mean I have no idea. how many people are going to show up. Hopefully a lot. Uh you know it'll be. really hard to match a playoff. atmosphere. Um you know but you know if. we can it' be great. And um yeah looking. forward to it. East Row out there. Not. surprised. You know that guy's that. guy's here every day working out and so. he'll be probably be more ready than. anybody else. So. >> every dong you hit tonight will donate.

Okay. Just like we did for Schwarbo. We. appreciate you. Thank you. Every. ding-dong you hit tonight, we will uh we. will donate. It's going to have to be. captured, though. >> Oh, yeah. >> And these have to be real pitches. You. know, we don't need your dad out there. pitching. Yeah. >> We're not doing that entire thing. Let's. talk about your team. Let's talk about. the run. First time you guys have won. the AL West since 2001. Obviously, it's. special time in Seattle. A lot of people. saying Cal Raleigh, big dumper, is the. driver behind all of this. Do you feel. the pressure? Do you feel the. excitement? Like, how do you kind of. view this special season that you have. had in Seattle?

Yeah, you know, we're really excited. obviously, you know, do something that. hasn't been done in 20 plus years uh in. this city. So, we're all really excited, but you know, it's just it's just a. great opportunity ahead, you know, um. looking looking forward to it. Uh you. know, really looking looking forward to. to getting to playing, you know, watching these wild card games, you. know, gets you a little antsy and, you. know, makes you want to get out there. So, we're excited. Uh we got some work. to do and, you know, looking forward to. that first series. >> Go ahead, AJ. Yeah, we mentioned IRO.

Are there any other uh you know old. school legends that might aren't playing. anymore that you've kind of leaned on. throughout your career? Maybe there's so. many I just know so many baseball guys. You know, they have these 15 20 year. careers. They have unbelievable stories. and unbelievable wisdom I feel like to. give to you guys. Is there anyone you've. leaned on over the years? >> Yeah, I mean I think uh the one know off. the top of my head Justin Turner. He's. with the Cubs right now. um he's had a. 15 15 year career and I get got a chance.

to play with him last year and he's been. a real real help to me in my career and. um these last you know last year or so. So he's such a smart guy and you know. those guys have such such so much. knowledge about the game and they've. been around for so long. They've seen so. many things. Um you know we got Edgar. Martinez on staff, Hall of Famer. >> Oh yeah. >> Uh Dan Wilson played 12 years behind the. plate, our manager. So, you know, it. always helps when you got you got guys. like that who have who have done it. before and and guys who have uh seen a. lot of uh seen a lot of things.

>> Nobody's seen you in a long long time, brother. What you're doing for switch. hitters is obviously historic as you've. seen all the stats. Uh baseball's a game. of a lot of stats. You are a man that is. becoming the top of a lot of those. stats. How do the obliques feel? How do. both sides of the plate feel? How how. does the bat How's the lefty bat feel? How's the righty bat feel right now. going into the playoffs? How's Cal. Raleigh seeing it? >> Yeah, everything's good. You know, we. had our first workout yesterday. Um, you. know, body feels good. Uh, you know, you.

won't you probably won't be feeling much. on that first game. Uh, you can ask a. lot of baseball players, you know, getting out there in front of that crowd. and, you know, you got 40 plus thousand, you know, waving waving towels and uh, chanting. So, you know, you'll be kind. of floating around out there, which will. be fun. >> Is it a pool or a P? It's an oblique. What what what is the what is the. workout on both sides that you need to. have? And if guys don't hit from both. sides of the plate, what muscles do they. have on one half of their body that are.

much stronger than the other? Like for. you, what do you train? Is it a pull? What What is the. >> Yeah, I mean, I guess it's Yeah, I guess. it's a pull. I haven't really thought. about it. It's just rotating really, you. know? It's a lot of rotating. A lot of. lot of core, >> lot of dump. >> A lot of med a lot of medball tosses. Like. >> a lot of caboose. A lot of caboose. >> Yeah. Well, that's different. But. >> still need the boost. >> Need to put the caboose. Need to put the. >> Yeah. You need to be you need to be. strong. So, it's uh I mean, it's it's a.

long season. You got to be able to, you. know, be able to take some hits here and. there and um you know, make sure your. body can handle it. You got to have a. little extra padding back there. Now, on. that note, um you've had to squat, you. know, every single pitch on defensive. side. Okay. We're part. >> every single pitch. >> We're part of this thing. That's why the. ass is the ass, you know, we're part of. this thing. >> You should do that all show. >> Well, I couldn't, you know, and that's. why I just want to showcase how. impressive it is. That was four right. there. Bodyweight squat.

>> Jeez. >> Okay, that's five. Okay. How many. pitches are in these things? Uh, he's. probably catching, you know, anywhere. from like a 150 on a normal day, you. know, 150 of them, let alone warm-ups, right? We're doing warm-ups. >> Stop doing it. You're. >> coming down. Coming out, right? We're. doing that with people that aren't here. I mean, this is this entire thing. And. then you're still leading. >> one at bat right there. >> That's. ball. I need a ball. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> And then obviously you. >> There you go. Mhm.

>> Jeez. >> Jeez. >> More out. >> Jeez. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot fun. game. >> Yeah. I don't know how you in. Oh, somebody's coming down. It's a missed. throw. D. I don't have anything. You. stupid idiot. >> Safe. >> There's a lot of that. You know, you got. all that going on. Um, >> what you've done hitting homers and. doing all that is obviously been very. commendable by a lot of people. Okay. That is something that I think is very. difficult for you. Is this just new. normal now? Like you like all off. season? I assume this is just what. you've prepared for and what you've.

trained for, but there's a reason why. nobody's been able to do it from the. catcher position because of how much. body there's like so much on it. Pitchers what rest every four days. because how much they have going on. It's like what you put your body through. this year is a lot. I think what. catchers put their bodies through are a. lot on a regular basis. But now that. you're so prolific offensively, has has. there been any conversations about what. the future looks like for you or No, we're just this is life. This is who I. am. >> Yeah, I know. I mean, you know, for me. it's, you know, you know, an everyday.

thing. So, you know, I'm going to be. catching and um, you know, we're focused. on, you know, obviously the now um, you. know, and I mean, you know, later in. careers, you know, you see guys that, you know, can hit a little bit. Uh, from. the catching position, they'll start to. work in at first base, you know, or DH. You look at like a a Buster Posey, Salvador Perez, guys have had some time. over there. Um, even Johnny Bench back. in the day, he he moved off a catcher. and played some other positions just to. give himself a few days. So, uh, it's.

kind of part of the territory. Um, so, but for now, you know, I still feel. strong, still feel good back there. I'm. able to to stay healthy and stay strong. and and competitive. So, um, do it for. as long as I can. >> Yeah. And you're part of it, you know, like catcher is very much in everything. So, taking a step back, I assume would. be very weird for you, especially when. >> my father was a catcher. >> My little brother. >> is a catcher. >> My father's f was a catcher.

>> Mhm. >> Okay. So, you're in it. You're in it. You're in it. But with how prolific you. are offensively, I know with the convers. I mean with show they're talking about. show like ah he shouldn't p he throw. oneonone. He's throwing like being that. good offensively is all you need. And. then the conversation with you is like. going to be tough to get cow out from. back behind a plate. Whatever. It's like. the guy loves it. And then Tai even said. first base is normally where catchers. will head to. So that they're still a. part like still got good gloves, still. got good defense. You need you out there. cuz DH is just naturally the thought. This guy could be a DH till he's 60.

Think about the days where he doesn't. have to squat 150 times. Certainly. >> and then he's just hitting it. That's. like I couldn't even imagine thinking. about it all. Now let's chitchat a. little bit about this magical run. Go. ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Cal. being in the middle of it and. obviously, you know, you guys still have. a lot left in front of you and you're. trying to win a World Series, but did. you have like any chance to kind of sit. back and embrace all that pressure and. enjoy the moment knowing like, hey, we're in the middle of a division race. right now that you ultimately won and. then you're in a two headed, you know,

race to win MVP. Like, have you got to. sit back yet a little bit and be like, "Wow, I just had like one of the most. impressive years in like the especially. for in the history of catching, but in. the history of baseball as a whole." And. then I also have to say after you guys. clinch, you uh you're owed to Tom. Behringer and saying, you know, hey, the. only thing left to do is win the whole. [ __ ] thing. Awesome. Awesome. But. have you got a chance to sit back and. kind of just reflect on everything?

>> Uh, no. Oh, I mean that's a good. question. I I really haven't. Um I guess. you know last week, you know, clinching. and then winning the division. Uh you. know, getting to kind of just sit back. and take that all in. And uh you know, really let your guard down with the. guys, you know, celebrating like that. That was I'd say that was the the most. fun moment. And you could try kind of. just look over the whole thing. And I. was able to hit 60 on the night we won. the division, which was was crazy. So. it's just been it's been a crazy year. I.

mean, you know, I I signed the extension. right before the season started and then. all this happened and then you throw in. the All-Star week winning the Derby with. my dad and brother. >> Um, you know, division race, uh, you. know, people start talking about you a. little more with the home runs and all. that. And, you know, you see yourself on. TV a little more often than you probably. want to. And, um, >> yeah. >> So, it's. that ash, you know, that It's been a.

crazy year. >> Well, it's been a fun year to follow for. us. And the nickname being the nickname. is obviously fantastic for the sports. culture, but you've lived up to the. billing, brother. You talked about that. home run derby. Your name was being. talked about going into the home run. derby. And I think many of times the. names that are hyped going into the. derby don't end up winning. You showing. up and doing it and then continuing your. season the way you have. We all just. think you're a dog, dude. That is. literally what we all think. And uh I. think it's a beautiful thing. Now, maybe. renegotiation. Okay. you know, we just.

got a deal done before this season. I'm. not going to I'm I know you guys got a. lot of negotiation going on in baseball. right around the corner with all of it, but uh I think there should be some. incentives that have certainly been. touched there. Now, let's talk about. looking ahead as a Brainiac player. Go. ahead, AQ. >> I remember when I was in the NFL and we. had a first round buy in the playoffs, you started to prepare for both teams. that upcoming week with two potential. opponents. Do you guys take a peek at. both of them or do you wait until you. know exactly who you're playing? Yeah, you know, we're we're here at the.

field right now and obviously, you know, they got the games on and we're all. watching and uh you know, it's chatter. throughout the whole thing. You know, Cleveland, Detroit, we're watching. obviously them closely and um you know, once that's decided, we'll we'll key in. a little more closely on that one team. So, but for now, you know, I think it's. just trying to stay sharp. you know, it's finding that right balance of, you. know, making sure you get your rest, but. also, uh, staying, you know, physically. strong, staying, uh, kind of in shape.

Not you're going to get out of shape, but, you know what I mean? You got to. get those those normal reps and try to. keep everything normal and as as uh, as. normal as it possibly can be for for. this week because, you know, we're going. to be doing some scrimmages. Obviously, not the real thing, but try to keep. those reps as normal as possible. So, um, we'll key in a little more, you. know, later in this week. And for now, it's it's really more about the focus is. on us. So, >> well, good luck tonight against Icho. He's going to rob your [ __ ].

>> Yeah, definitely. >> I can't wait to watch that. The fastest. recorded opening pitch. We just got that. stat sent over by Zitto. 94 miles an. hour was Icho. In 2022, he threw the. opening pitch in full uniform. That's. Ichu, baby. Do you remember that? Yeah. >> Didn't he Is this Was it Ichu who beat. up on the middle schoolers? middle school baseball. >> Oh, I did see that. Yeah, >> it was. Yeah. >> The way you phrased that made me think. something else, but yeah. >> So, what was he? So, what I didn't I. don't think I saw he was hitting in like. a high school game and just.

>> Oh, high school. Okay. >> Yeah. Just [ __ ] ripping ropes to. every part of the field. >> Picking where he was hitting it, right? Yeah. Yeah. >> So, why isn't he on your guys pitching. too? >> Yeah, he was pitching too. That's right. >> So, you said he's in the building every. single Is he just on the Is he not good? >> Put him on the 26, man. >> Yeah. So, how's this work? Like, he'll. pitch tonight against you, too. How's. this go? And then like on a random. Wednesday, you guys just like, "Oh, let's go do some BP." And Ichiro's music. hits and he comes out in a full uniform. and it's like it's not BP, it's actually. Ichiro day. And he pitches against you.

guys. How he's around all the time, you're said, basically. >> Yeah, all the time. I mean, he's there. all spring training. He's there every. home game that we have. He's always. dressed out full, you know, full gear. He's got the pants, the cleats, everything. He's uh. >> I mean he's not messing around. So he. used to I mean he used to throw us live. BP and um even in spring training or in. the cage you ask Ichi, hey can can I get. a little uh you know live BP action? He'd go in there and he just carve guys.

up and he's broke multiple of my bats. before. So um you know just you know and. he takes it seriously. He's not he's not. messing around. He's trying to get you. out in there. And you know, obviously. it's a little different because he's. behind the L screen, but I mean, he's. letting it rip. >> That might be the secret weapon. It's. not so secret anymore. >> He's an [ __ ]. >> What's that? >> I didn't like what he said about the. Marlins doing his Hall of Fame speech. >> That was awesome. >> What did he say? >> Took a little jab. >> What was it, Ty? If you had to just. >> He basically said like, you know, he.

thanked all the teams he played for and. then he was like, and you know, I went. down to Miami to end my career. He's. like, before I got there, I didn't even. know you guys had a baseball team. It was awesome. >> Yeah, it was still a shout out and he. said he did learn obviously. >> and everybody laughed. >> Yeah, big pop out of everybody but the. Marlins fans. All right, Cal, we. appreciate the hell out of you, brother. >> Yeah, always great seeing you guys. Thank you. >> Hey, ding-dong donations tonight for. this inter squad thing. Let's go. We. don't know what the price is yet. We'll. let you know. You uh we will certainly. hope that the Mariners keep us updated.

on how many uh. >> how many big balls does Big Dumper hit. tonight. Why not all of them? You're the. man, ladies and gentlemen. Cal Raleigh. >> Yeah, Cal. >> might win the MVPs. >> He should. Especially, you know, with. how it's going now. >> What do you mean with how it's going. now? >> Just, you know, with how important it is. what he's doing with how important the. catcher is to game baseball. We know. >> It's like the tight end all of a sudden. it's coming back. It's having a. resurgence. >> It's a perfect way to put maybe almost. like a tight end with a little nickel.

corner perhaps because he also has to. catch the ball and he has to have like a. real arm, not like a noodle arm. We'll see. We'll see. >> That was rude. >> I don't know if I'd be doing this only. up one game because, you know, but I get. it. They lost last night. You got to do. what you got to do. >> Sinatra came on shuffle this morning. I. think I think Boston might claim Sinatra. by the end of tonight. Don't look out. Yankees. >> Follow up on that. What does that mean? >> Uh Frank Sinatra just, you know, one of. the goats uh is one of his big songs. Uh.

what do they play? >> Yeah, the theme from New York. New York. So, start spreading the news when he. >> play. So, so why don't you say a little. bit? >> Yeah. They said to the stars in the. newsah, "I'm leaving.". >> People don't forget Aaron Judge. You. know, he put a speaker on his shoulder. and he bumped that leaving Femway Park. when they were up 20 a few years ago. And then what happened? >> Start spreading the news. What happened? >> Socks won 3-2 in the series. So,

>> oh, I I'm confident. I'm confident and I. should be. I watched 162 now 163. But I. I still feel as though, you know, Judge. could do it. We'll see. You got to win. tonight. You got to win tonight. >> I don't like the way these Yankees fans. have. Certainly. >> I have. And I don't I don't like Bruce. pulling out the we don't have Garrett. Cole right now. But that that's not the. mentality we need going into tonight, Bruce. And you know that. >> This is in July when they were popping. gold bottles up at Fenway declaring us.

dead. I love it. >> Okay. All right, Bruce, I hope that's. the case. Let's get back to the NFL. Uh, obviously we had an incredible weekend. of ball as we look forward to week five. >> Let's go ahead and look back a little. bit with uh a takeaway. >> Hey, what are your takeaways from the. last weekend of the NFL season? >> The first one is tush push evolution. >> Oh, I like a little tush push evolution by. the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, they. were taking on Vet and the Tampa Bay.

Buccaneers. Va big ooze. He took. advantage of tush push before he stopped. that thing. He stared Tush Push down and. said actually ooze push back and uh. stopped it in its entirety. Now they. decided to run a couple gimmicks. I. appreciate that AQ. So do you. It. appears. >> it's ironic that they did it against the. Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Big Vita and. they go old school. 1930s give it to the. galloping ghost and the wing T and go. sweep off the left side. Yeah. >> Wow. That was sick. Pretty sweet. >> Yeah. Wing T. Galloping Ghost. You did. really well there. You did really well.

there. What else? >> Now, this looks a little different. because you don't have the guys behind. Jaylen Herds, but his footwork. Normally, when he's just under center, his feet are neutral. You can tell he is. selling a quarterback sneak, but guess. what? Look to the right. Quads to the. right. Blow up diamond shape. Shuffle. over to Gddard. Walk it right in. >> Oh, innovation here. This is some. innovative stuff. There was no tush to. be pushed, but there was certainly a. dive to be had. Not so fast, my friends. Underhand toss to Goddard. You got.

numbers over there. Let's go and take. advantage of it. >> Absolutely. And and that's a really cool. formation right there. You don't see it. very often whenever they go quads with. four to one side. Make a little diamond. You see that? It's a bunch with a guy. behind and they just got three blockers. You walk in the end zone. >> And AJ Brown said, "I can't take the. scoop. Come on. Way to get a touchdown.". >> Good block by AJ Brown on the backside. though. >> Oh wow. >> Oh yeah. Great. Oh yeah, great effort. AJ Hawk. AJ Brown. >> AJ's watch.

>> That guy. Yeah, exactly. >> I'm a big physical body. I could catch. this and fall into the Yeah, you're. right. Everybody wants that spot. >> Okay. Is there any others that we need. to see or is it just those two? >> No, we got a lot of meat. >> Oh, >> and here here's what this means. Here's. what this means is we've seen the way. that offensive coordinators over the. past couple of years have game plan. tight ends that can't block. And so what. you've seen over the years is you've. seen McVey, you've seen Shanahan, you've. seen all these creative guys put the. tight end and they bluff and they put.

them on a linebacker because they know. they can't win at the point of attack. Teams this year have said, "Forget it. You know what we're going to do? We're. going to put a big O lineman in. We're. going to go jumbo. We're going to get. all the meat in there.". >> Yeah. Because there has certainly been. um a run here of Dline dominating games. You look at the Philadelphia Eagles, they have four number one picks on the. Dline and they were able to just cause. absolute chaos for everybody. And if you. can get home with four, then obviously. you do some quick math, that's 14 eyes. looking at the quarterback and. everything else going on and you can.

obviously swarm and tackle everything. very well without having to bring extra. pressure. You're sitting in what we like. to call a great spot defensively. Echo. the sentence. >> Absolutely. Fourman rush is everything. And on that note, if you're able to. block those four guys, now the defense. has to bring extra men. So whenever you. bring somebody from, you know, uh, watching in coverage into rushing, all. of a sudden, what's that? Oh, it's more. space on the backside there. Now, how do. we protect that and know that we're. going to be protected? Bring in another. big fat ass offensive linement. I like.

that they're doing it, especially with. how athletic all these big guys have. gone, cuz there's a chance one of these. guys could be a setup to get the ball, especially with where they're lined up. I appreciate the protection. Oh, now. you're talking about Kansas City doing. this for Patrick Mahomes. Seems like a. smart idea. >> Yeah, we're going to look at this first. play. Kansas City has Caliendo right. there on the right side. Not Frank. Caliendo. >> Cali is going to fake cell the power to. the right. They're going to toss it back. to Worthy. And now watch big 66 get out. in front. Take the rookie Malachi Strs. He's the reason this is a home run.

>> Love that. Got Xavier Worthy back for. them. So, a lot of meat has become a. trend. Obviously the Pittsburgh Steelers. had Darnell Washington who's 6'7 290 lbs. tight end out of Georgia playing tight. end but mostly just blocking everybody. There he is uh number 80 on the left. side. And what is your last takeaway. here as we are coming up quickly on a. hard out AQ Shipley. >> Yeah we got Steve Spagnola still. bringing it. Let's take a look at. boom boom boom boom.

>> Five big booms. >> He's still bringing it. >> I love it. He's still bringing it. >> We're running out of time. >> All right, perfect. Let's get to Nick. Bolton right here. He's the key. Look at. this. There's a pressure rush. He's not. part of this blitz, but the minute he. sees the running back block comes. Look. at this pick. >> Boom. Boom. All right. The Chiefs are. still the Chiefs. Spack's still the. Chiefs. Uh Spack still Specs. We'll see. you tomorrow. Goodbye. Okay, we nailed. it. All right. We really did well. We. really did good there. We really nailed.

it. That's 100% on me. Baseball talk. lasted a lot longer than I thought it. was gonna last. >> Boy, did it. >> because Schwarbo was good. >> Yeah. Awesome. >> Then Cal Raleigh, so many questions, especially with the conversation that's. been going on around. >> you and Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh. >> Yeah. >> You framed that in a very nice way. >> cuz I think you are a fan of Cal Raleigh. the person. >> I am big time. And I'm also a fan of Cal. Raleigh the player, which is why when we. were starting to doing this, I wasn't. liking like the oh no, I got to I don't. want to be the guy who basically says.

[ __ ] this guy. He doesn't deserve this. because he does. He just doesn't deserve. it more than judge in my humble opinion. >> And you love Aaron Judge. >> I do. >> Since turns like it, >> it's kind of, you know, it gets to that. conversation like last year, you know, with Lamar, he had like an MVP year, one. of his probably his best year as a pro. But Josh Allen, the moments, and it was. kind of like, all right, you know, it's. kind of this guy's turn. But if you. casted a vote for either one of the. guys, you probably felt good about your. vote. I feel like it's the same with. this race. >> Yeah. And it's just Aaron Judge already.

got robbed out of one. >> MVP. >> I'm not thinking about that. I don't. give a [ __ ] He got to beat the Red Sox. tonight. I don't give a [ __ ] if he wins. MVP or not. >> Okay. So Cell is MVP. Will you. understand that? >> If it means that the Yankees are going. to advance and I. >> No, I'm just saying just in general, just at this moment. >> No, he's not. He's not. He's had a. special season. No, no two no two. questions about it. He's had a very. special season. He's not He's not the. most valuable player Judge is. But if it. means Judge is going to win MVP and they. get beat tonight, I don't give a [ __ ]. Yeah. What's another MVP? Who cares?

>> Are the socks hot right now, dude? >> Dude, the socks have never been hotter. The the They're as red. >> I see that hat. They got real hot real. quick and now we're. >> Well, and this is 2004, you know. This. is. >> Yeah, exactly. It's damn near. anniversary of this team. And, you know, this is a World Series hat, but we. actually came back against the Yankees. when we were down three 0. Something. that they've never done. Um, so. >> no one has ever done that other than the. Red Sox. >> My bad. Um, so when it comes to Boston, it it does feel as though this might be. one of those magical years. It feel it. feels like they might have the juice.

this year. >> If the Yankees get eliminated before the. postseason even starts. >> No, no, no. That can't happen. >> The Mets didn't even make. >> Mets didn't even make. >> More like small apple. >> Stop spreading the news. >> I'm leaving today. They said prime time. baseball. >> Yeah, >> I'm out of here. >> There's a chance. >> There's a chance. >> But they're not dead yet.

>> Uh-uh. >> Huge game tonight. >> No, you're not. >> Yeah. >> Huge. I mean, this is a huge Tai is. going to be devastated if the [ __ ]. Yankees get swept 20 to the [ __ ] Red. Sox in a wild card and kill him after. >> Yes and no. Yes and no. I will obviously. be devastated that they lost. They lose. though, I believe that'll put quite a. bit of pressure on, hey, let's get Aaron. Boon the [ __ ] out of here. >> Whoa, whoa, what if they win though? We. keep him. What if he goes on a run? >> Then good. Earn that paycheck. >> Earn that paycheck. Hell yeah.

>> Hey, that walk-off homer against Tim. Wakefield was a long time ago. You can't. live off that forever. >> AJ, do you know this is how they feel? I. mean, he's been loud about it. >> Yeah, >> I was watching it with Crochet, the the. Red Sox pitcher last night. He was. awesome. I love his delivery. I love his. leg kick. I love his demeanor. They're. like, "I don't think you were beating. that guy last night.". >> How about. >> Well, they were beating that guy last. night because the Yankees pitcher was. much better. That was the one of the. stupidest things you've ever said. Uh. when he left the game, Max Freed, they. were up one zero. They were beating that.

guy. >> Either way, doesn't matter. Either way, >> I get it though. I get what you're. saying, but you're wrong. >> They were beating that guy. And then. Boone decided to go to the bullpen, which has been their Achilles heel all. year. And within a span of. >> two, >> two minutes, >> they were losing. And you knew, >> oh no, he set up a nice little lefty. lane with the lineup here, too. We're. going to have lefties going up against. Araldis Chapman, who's also a lefty. And.

what happens, you know, right-handed. guys start off, get a hit. Even one of. our lefty guys who hits lefties well, Cody Bellinger, he gets a hit. Base is. loaded. And then you get Stanton to. strike out. And then what does he get? He gets a couple lefties to finish it. off just how [ __ ] Alex Cora would. have would have written it up if he. could have in the most perfect. situation. And that's what happened. >> Chapman threw 101 final pitch of the. night. >> Just let it eat. Somebody threw a hundo. on the hundth p uh pitch. I don't. remember who it was. >> 117th pitch. Yeah, Crochet.

>> Yeah, Crochet threw his like hardest. pitch of the season I think on 117. >> AJ was talking about let the athletes. go. I believe Crochet, the stat I saw. saw about him is he's the um I think. it's something about like he's the only. starting pitcher uh to pitch all the way. into the seventh and throw a pitch um. 100 miles an hour like going that far. and still having that velocity. >> What a beast this guyast which once. again is why if you ask Yankees fans. >> maybe we do lose this one because this. guy's really good. The next two.

certainly in your guys. >> they have the advantage in the next two. games. Yes. What time is that game. tonight? >> Uh 6:08, which. what are we doing? >> What? It's just want Nobody wastes any. time. Get there at 6:08. >> Make it Make that a [ __ ] 7:15 start. time. >> Oh, >> really? >> Yeah. >> You want to get a little bit more. >> Well, yeah, cuz guess who's got to. [ __ ] put their kids down to sleep and. miss the first three innings? Me. >> Sick of it. Okay.

>> Especially imagine you come back down. Oh, it was a tough one, too, by the A. lot of rocking, a lot of screaming, a. lot of yelling, right down, come. downstairs, Red Sox. >> Yeah, they're up three nothing. Yeah, I'. I'd [ __ ] rip my TV off the wall if. that happened. >> Don't do that. We still got a lot more. innings. We still got a lot of baseball. left. Remember? >> I know. I know. >> Oh my god. If the Yankees lose tonight, 20. >> No, I feel good about tonight. I do. I. do. >> Who's on the call? >> Uh, Rafy. So, >> okay. >> Yeah. Ravi, Eduardo Perez, and [ __ ].

Con. Did we hear Joe Buck on a call. yesterday? We love Ravi, by the way. Love. >> Ravi. No, I'm I'm surprised that they. didn't have him do I mean, I guess maybe. travel for Monday night. It was too too. much of a turnaround, but. >> that would have been a young Joe Buck. thing. >> Yes. >> Younger Joe Buck would have done it. >> Yeah. >> And everybody would have been mad, but. he would have Sure. He would have. absolutely crushed it. Not everybody. People would have been mad. >> They should have had him do the Cubs. game because his dad obviously was a. legend for the Cardinals and Cubs fans. think that he just like hates them. naturally. So that would have been a.

nice little. >> but also back to back Jet. Yeah, exactly. That was awesome. >> Sweet. Very sweet. >> Regly was alive issue. >> Yes, it was. >> That's what this baseball season does. This particular season. >> Yeah. >> All right. We spent a lot of time on. baseball. I feel like we did our part. >> so much. >> Baseball was good to us. >> Hell yeah. Baseball players. >> But Derby was so sick. >> Baseball players are good and the. baseball people were good to us. So, we're very thankful for that. Remember, there was a little bit of a. conversation. Hey, we want to go to the. home run derby. Sorry, we won't have. space. Who's we? The ESPN people say.

they don't have space. >> All right. We still want to go though. So, can we talk to the league? Let's talk to. the league. What's the league say? Do. you guys want to host the [ __ ]. >> Yeah, you want to announce the We love. you. >> Do you want the commissioner and the two. biggest. >> players? Do you want to introduce the. hitters? Uh, do you want to host the. press conference? >> [ __ ] You want to play the game? What? That's literally they they were so MLB. people were so good to us. So we are so.

so so thankful for that. And also right. now baseball [ __ ] great. So let's. remember that. We need to keep it middle. of the week. >> Yeah. >> Need to keep it middle of the week. That. >> and it will be, you know, like there. will obviously be games on the weekend, but I do think they do a pretty good job. of trying to make sure that these like. really high marquee matchups aren't. going on on NFL Sundays. >> It's great for us. Yeah, >> it's great for us as sports people, you. know, >> cuz even there is some middle of the. week uh football that'll come up. >> Yeah.

>> Plus, it's Maction had a run. Okay. Maction had a run. And I'm not saying it. won't. Okay. >> I forgot. >> Today is the kickoff of the UFFL free. agent frenzy. >> Oh, yes. >> Is that real? >> Yes, it is. >> UXFL. D. [Applause]. You. got to. You got to.

You got to. d. [Applause]. >> It's the uh UFFL. And I will say we had. a UXFL conversation yesterday. >> Are you sure? Well, I think UXFL better. name. Just we workshopped it yesterday. and I'll tell you what, the Ox Football. League certainly was something that I. would love to get behind.

>> We didn't know law about their league. >> We found out they had bloggers though, didn't we? >> We did. This was. >> one of the greatest tweets ever. constructed. >> One of the hardest things I've ever. laughed at, maybe in the last 10 years. >> James, James, we'd like to let you know, thank you for your contributions to the. Thunderdome. We laughed so hard. And as. we got to the bottom, we said we didn't. even know people cared. this month. We. appreciated you, James. I just want to. let let you know that we appreciate you, James. But yeah, this is basically our. show in a nutshell. Uh, in a nutshell, this is twominut segment. This is a.

two-minute segment and we never claimed. to know. We never claimed to know. We. actually said in there multiple times, oh, what do we know about it? And then. we rattled off all the things that we. know. The USFL is going to have a much. better future. >> Yeah, >> that's what we Mr. Rapole. >> Oh, yeah. That's right. >> Mr. Rapole, >> of course. >> Right. Uh, from Bull. Oh. Uh, no. >> Rapoli. >> Rapoli. He, uh, he and John Guden. So, he at the, uh, United Football League. know we haven't done enough marketing, branding, and the fan experience to.

truly showcase our talented players, coaches, and high quality football we. bring to the field. I guarantee things. will change in the future. I'm working. on some ideas. I like that. Rapole is. thinking about it. He's always working. on ideas. >> Hey, where are you thinking? Right here, dude. >> Rapole is thinking right here. >> Love that. >> This is it. Crudin's like, "I'll tell. you what, man. Guys got [ __ ] ideas. and protein bars.". >> And uh when you think about the junkless. protein bar, that's good tasting protein. bar.

>> So if they're eating good protein, I got. a good feeling they got good ideas for. the USFL coming up. And uh we'd like to. let everybody know we hope it succeeds. >> Definitely. I mean, well, we're pretty. accurate with those things we were. throwing out to be fair. We would like. somebody to counter a lot of them and. they they will I'm sure and I I want to. let them know I will have a counter as. well. I will I will I will have a few. AJ's going this what you actually. >> exactly.

>> So AJ did mention right before he got on. his house lost power like 5 minutes. before. >> And that's Noble. I just heard him. >> Yeah. >> We're going to call him back. >> All right. Our thing crashed right. before we went on live, too. This might. be a rep. >> It could be. Hey, >> take out the weeds. One at a time. >> One at a time. >> Listen, if nobody's talking about us, that's okay. If somebody's talking about. us and only saying the bad things, that's not okay. Let's [ __ ] kill. their connection. Drop their graphics.

>> Jeez. >> It's not a bad idea. That's That would. be. >> That would be this right here. >> I got ideas. I got ideas. I hope they do. >> Yeah, >> we would like more opportunities for. guys. I will say it's tough to watch. though. You guys got to figure that out. >> I got an idea. >> Okay. >> Ask Josh Allen if he wants to play in it. after the football season. >> Well, the thing that really I think when. we quit on him and I will say this as. former player, always want player. empowerment. Always do.

When you want to hold out, okay, quarterbacks, part of the problem of the. league is how bad the quarterbacks are. When the quarterbacks say, "We're. holding out. We're not doing it." And. it's like, "Fuck, we didn't even know. you guys had another season coming on.". Okay. The first thing we're hearing is. that you guys are holding out from what? What are you holding? Oh, you guys have. another season coming up. Okay. The. reason why your league stinks is because. your quarterbacks stink. Okay. So, now. the quarterbacks are saying we want paid. more. And then we do a quick little. research. We're like, is this So, if you. want more, normally that would be.

you would think that like they want more. piece of the pie. >> There must be a big piece of the pie. We. We deserve our Turns out that pie. doesn't. >> No, there's like a couple crumbs on the. bottom. >> They haven't even started putting the. flour together. >> to make They haven't even bought the. [ __ ] dough to make the pie at all. So, for me, that was when I was like, "Okay, I hate these guys." On that note, I can certainly come back around on the. USFL. >> Mhm. >> Okay. We get some good ball. We get.

incredible fan bases, which we've seen a. couple of them. >> We've seen the Brahma Brahma team, Brahma Bulls. DC Defenders. >> Great. Their fans are locked in. >> Yes. >> The Brahma team's in San Anton, right? >> Yeah. Son, >> St. Louis Battlehawks. >> Great environment. >> Let's do this. Should put the X back in. But yeah, let's do this. >> Now we go. >> And also, is Dwayne Johnson doing. anything? We need to lean on him a. little bit more. >> I don't think he cares. >> Just been on. He's got a great movie. coming out this weekend. I don't.

>> I don't think we're talking maybe awards. for that. They are. He. >> dude. >> in that movie. >> Insane. >> And then now obviously he's playing a. different character. I believe he is. losing a bunch of weight too. >> He lost like 70 pounds. >> and he said he's losing more. He wants. to lose even more. But what he was for. Mark in that smashing machine, he is. gigant. I remember watching and. following along with everybody else. Him. going through the process of making that. smashing machine and the amount of like. I think he like dislocated his elbow.

Like. >> he gave his entire. >> Yes, he did. >> He committed his entire being to this. and they're saying great. What? 15. minutes. >> Uh, >> standing ovation. >> Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. And you know, I. mean, I don't know how how much stock. people put into like the, you know, Rotten Tomatoes and [ __ ] like that, but. certified fresh. Yeah. Like it's getting. great reviews from critics. And you you. want to talk about Oscars, like typ. is is typically the one, but like what. The Rock is doing, like he in a couple. of those early pictures from the set,

like he's kind of unrecognizable. like. the amount of prosthetics and like the. work the makeup department did to make. him look like this guy. Like the the. complete body transformation type thing. because we are he's obviously huge but. like he did he clearly put on weight and. muscle to do this. Like that's the kind. of stuff that makes those Oscar voters. be like, "Okay, well this guy's very. committed. >> and I know he's taken a lot of [ __ ] for. a lot of his previous movies.". >> Correct. >> So for him to come back with a certified. fresh and also his commitment and 15. minutes standing ovation probably meant. more than you could ever imagine to a. guy that conquered everything. Yeah. But.

deep down, you know, he's the rock, okay? Always going to be the rock. Has. to be the rock. People find inspiration. from The Rock and Dwayne Johnson, how. strong he is. When everybody on earth is. questioning you and saying terrible. things about you, and obviously not. everybody, but it feels like that. certain times, especially with how. popular he's come, political world. starts getting after you, right? >> Like it can get loud. I said, for even. the strongest of people, so for him to. have that moment and uh have the amount. of effort and say, "Yeah, I can still be. the guy." had to feel pretty good. I.

can't wait to watch. I'm going to sport. the [ __ ] out of him. On that note, is it. you XFL? Are we putting the X back? >> They've officially changed, I believe. >> Well, Repole. >> Yeah. Mhm. That's a good idea. >> Locked and loaded. >> Ox. L B. >> James, your tweet unbelievable. Let's. take a break. Uh, be a friend. Tell our. friends something nice like we are to. the XFL. Could be your best year yet.

this year. >> Totally right. >> We're not really friends with anybody. over there. But. >> you get good luck. >> I always say to your friends and then. people always like why did you talk [ __ ]. about I'm not friends with that person. clearly. But you should definitely lift. up your team, your community. And also. opportunities, which UXFL certainly is. for a lot of people. We hope it does a. great job. We hope it finds its rhythm. And I hope those ideas in there are good. ones. >> Like holy [ __ ] that protein bar right. there. >> They are. >> Be a friend. Tell her friend something. nice might change her life. Take five.

>> I want to be on the record saying this. is impossible to pick me. >> Oh, shut the [ __ ] up. >> Randy Moss was faster than every DVD. >> I'm going to go with Rob. He influenced. me. Tom, >> your form were changed by the order in. Tom's presentation. >> Yes, of course. I started this idea. I. can change. >> I don't know how I can sit here argue. against Randy Moss. I drove 7 hours in. the middle of the night to host him on a. visit to Tennessee. I'm not okay with. Grock over Mark. I'm not signing the. release and letting Tom come away with. two Patriots. I don't have, you know, I. don't have one Colts.

>> This is about Rushmore of receivers, which includes, for our purposes here, also tight ends. >> It's the worst list I've ever seen. >> Okay. >> Okay. That's the worst list. >> My hobbies are spending time with. friends and family and video games. I. was looking at some list of things that. turn women off the most. And one is if. your hobby is video games. Finals. against the Lakers up by 15. 16. >> I think it was 15. I called the game. >> I was at that game. >> You were at the game, but I called the. game.

>> Yeah. I'm sitting there next to Phil. >> You have Iowa Iowa State wrestling. wrestling. What are you talking about? >> Okay. So, what was your second one? >> No, you're absolutely wrong. >> I was a kid when you were still pissing. off curbs. I bought that [ __ ] record. and that was a band. No reading. [Music]. >> It's electrifying here in Happy Valley. We're lucky to be here. And uh you know. the way you win this is you have uh 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 uh 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 uh 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 Hannover, Pennsylvania. >> Okay. You're a Pennsylvania guy. Have. you ever kicked a ball before? >> Other than not football. soccer. >> Okay. Well, hopefully you're terrible at. this. It's $100,000. Uh are you guys. splitting that 50/50? >> Yes, sir. >> Okay. Uh so we'll make it uh $300,000.

$150,000 for both of you. Okay. >> You only get one kick, though. You've. gained the ticket game, which I. appreciate and respect. It's up to. $300,000. $150 for both of you. Only one. kick though, Herby. We're not doing. anything. I don't care how many stators. chant for another kick. Only one Herby 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 could help out. your guy William in winning $150,000. [Applause].

One kick, three. [Applause]. good, man.

Carson, congratulations. >> You pushed that, >> William. Way to go. >> It has been an expensive year out here. at the field goal kick. Carson, I'm. proud of you, buddy. 300,000. 150 to. you. 150 to you. Good finance decisions. were made in the first top six white out. has a magical vibe and an expensive one. We are. >> We are.

We are. >> Thank you. >> Goodbye. >> I hate that fight. Maybe. >> you know what? I think there's only one. thing left to do here. I've experienced. cafesito time. I've experienced the. wonderful culture. I've experienced the. beautiful people. And I think we got. some canes over here. We got some pains over here. We got some pains over here.

>> This day in Coral Gables is going to be. one that I will remember for the rest of. my life. Ray Lewis started his dance. right here at Miami. Ed Reed started his. legendary run here at Miami. The legends of football run deep. The. moments are special. The national. championships are in abundance. Just. last year, a lovely University of Miami.

woman diver from Italy won a national. championship. This thing's been staring. at me all damn day. >> Get out of your mind, brother. This is. crazy. >> Kirk, I'm a little winded. I was going. to say. the whole time you're running. I'll give. you a chance to catch your breath. You. [ __ ] You're crazy. >> I hope somebody got a life saver over. there or something. My man's out of. breath.

>> It is a long way. >> To the top. Jump in. >> Are you going to jump in there? >> Oh my god. Yeah. So, >> I'm tired for you. >> Oh my god. >> Oh, he's going to take the jacket off. Okay. >> Okay. Oh. Oh, he's taking the shirt off. now. All right. All right. All right. >> Looking ripped. Looking ripped. Oh, he's. taking the drawers off. >> Ladies and gentlemen, >> the drawers.

>> Ladies and gentlemen, if you come to. this beautiful campus, you will notice. quickly that the students here love this. university. They love this atmosphere. And I'm with everybody. I think that you. is back. Give me. >> He's got the speed on. Oh my god. >> Give me the.

[Laughter]. [Applause]. >> Canades baby. >> Here he goes. Oh god, >> here he goes. Feet together. Feet. together. >> I think that was the less for the. pencil. >> There he's got to you. crashing it out. [Applause]. >> That could be with a refreshing punch.

Miami and Florida tonight. Let's have a. look at that again. Check out the form, Herby. >> Oh man, >> let's see the target. We need tested. >> It pretty good. Let's get it ready. Perfect. Perfection. >> Hey, >> let's go. >> This show stinks. And the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous.

assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You. >> stop. Stop. Damn it. Your friend, tell a. friend something nice could change their. life. [Applause]. [Music]. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble the boat the thunder on. this glorious Wednesday October 1st 2025. hour three of the program begins now.

football. >> his magical AJ Hawk will not be able to. join us he has lost all power at his. house it is a second time in a matter of. hours that he's lost power over there we. hope he's okay we hope the surrounding. areas are okay as well as we'll miss you. for the rest of this AJ especially with. that fresh new haircut. >> Yeah, great for sure. >> Got that low fade. Uh the talk staples. here at Boston Conor. Congrats to your. Red Sox. Thank you. >> And at Tai Schmidt, sorry about your. Yankees. No, >> it's not serious. Isn't over yet? >> It feels like it, doesn't it? >> No, it doesn't.

>> It kind of has felt like it for the last. like hour or two. >> Hasn't it kind of felt that a. >> little bit? Little bit. >> That's 12-ear NFL vet Super Bowl. champion AQ Shipley. 9-year NFL vet. Darius Butler. It's felt like it for. like two hours. Feels like the Yankees. are kind of just out of the playoffs. I. mean, >> that's kind of going back and forth. This is an alltime, you know, rivalry. It's it's early. It's a wild card game, not like a, you know, late later in the. postseason. But no, it's it's one game. series at this point. >> Exactly. >> I didn't realize I didn't realize that. all three games were in New York. Did. you know that? >> Yeah. The home team uh.

>> Mickey Mouse. But yeah. >> What do you mean Mickey Mouse? >> Mickey Mouse. But now you're thinking. you're lucky stars. It is. >> Not necessarily. I just I don't like. that. That's that's just not the playoffs. What are what are we doing? Like one of. these games should tonight should be in. Boston. They they take one from you. You. should have to go win in Boston. >> So what do they think though? Just the. threeame series. Padres's flying to the. Cubs. Cubs having to fly to San Diego. then having to fly back to Chicago. Just. can't do it in the middle of this three. backto-back day one. >> probably. And because yeah the. >> not just them but in.

>> Yeah. And the you know the teams who get. a buy start on Saturday. You can't. really because then you are kind it's it. goes back to the college football thing. where they maybe are at a little more of. a disadvantage because then they're. getting what 10 days off before they. play. So you want to move it as quickly. as possible to get to the divisional. round. I don't know. I just it's just. weird. It's the playoffs. I that it. should be split between, you know, it's. a multiple game series. Game should be. played at each stadium. Well, the. Yankees fans are obviously going to try. to make it as hail as possible for the. Boston Red Sox as they travel in there.

tonight at 6:08 and try to sweep the. Yankees and eliminate them from the. entire postseason, which will certainly. draw a very, very relaxed reaction from. all Yankees fans, certainly with how. this year has gone and how previous. years have gone for the New York. Yankees. Uh, let's pivot to the NFL, ladies and gentlemen. Every week we get. a chance to find out who. are the best teams. >> Yeah. Mhm. Not just by watching every. single week. It's hard to project who's. the best team, but not just by learning. each week whenever we're talking about.

all the story lines, but but having a. focus on a particular group on an. offense that is basically an indicator. on whether or not the team's going to be. [ __ ] or not. Ladies and gentlemen, it's. time to go into the trenches with AQ. Shipley's top five performing offensive. lines from week four. >> AQ, >> thank you. This is very important to. teams. If you're on here, it means your. team's probably going to be good this. year. Congratulations. Who's number five. performing offensive line from week. four? >> Number five is the Denver Broncos. >> Two and two this year. >> Yeah. Let me start with saying this is.

this might be their debut in the history. of in the trenches. >> They have not b been on it at all. And. the reason being JK Dobbins 100 yards. rushing this week. First time Denver. Broncos rusher in over 30 games. >> Wow. That's a long time. >> So let's take a look at it. Let's watch. big Garrett BS as he pulls around to the. left right here. Let's take a look at. him. Let's look at Courtland Sutton on. the edge right here. Peel back. Boom. Put him down. Look at Courtland Sutton.

If we can rewind this, Courtland Sutton, wide receiver, on a linebacker, runs his. ass off the screen. And you'll see him. finish on the sideline. Pancake on top. of him. >> Wow. Sutton had a pancake. Then we had a. blind side. Peel back. >> Peel back shoulder back on him. Boom. Put his ass down. >> Wow. Physical group, boys. Is the guy. with the dread still on this team? Oh. yeah. Quinn Miners. Yeah. Yeah, that's. him at right court. >> Love him. Love everything about him. They wanted to invest in the offensive. line last time uh before Shawn Payeyton. took the job. He understood that the. offensive line was not great in Denver.

and he can't be great if you don't have. a great offensive line. You're saying. they found it. It feels like. >> their two tackles have played phenomenal. this year. Lowest pressure rate amongst. tackles. Garrett Bulls and Mike. McGllinchi who they paid a ton of money. in to bring him over from San Francisco. They're very good up front. >> Congratulations to the Broncos. This is. good news for your team. >> You're two and two. Obviously, you're. not perfect. You're a flawed team, as. every team is, except for the Eagles and. the Bills at this point. But the Eagles. got an issue going on in and then the. Bills, they they this might be their. year. But if your offensive line is. being featured as one of the best.

offensive lines in all of football, what. our research has shown us is that your. team's going to be good. >> Now, on that note, one of the teams that. was on this a lot and then ended up. being bad is, I believe, this number. four team. >> Oh, >> the Atlanta Falcons. Remember, two years. ago? Yeah, they were on here all the. time. >> They were on here early like these guys. are so good. These guys are geniuses. Look at this scheme. Coach got his ass. [ __ ] fire. They're doing a fool. They. were not good. I mean, it was so the. only outlier from this entire segment.

for the last few years of your team. being good and the offensive line being. featured on here. The only nonexistent. situ from a couple years ago. We're not. going to hold that against them here. from 2025. >> No. Yeah. We're also not going to play. analytics and say that their quarterback. wasn't Desmond Ritter eater. Let's let's. start there. >> That wasn't analytics. That was a. >> I mean, let's let's just start there. But the fact is they are and have been. very good up front and they still are.

Bejon is playing out of his mind. Their. offensive line is playing out of their. mind. They're missing their right. tackle, Caleb McGary, due to injury. Let's watch this scheme. We're going to. send Charlie Werner back across the. formation. Watch this over the top ball. handling bend back Wernern. And look at. Elijah Wilkinson seal the edge. Look at. this freaking play. This is. unbelievable. >> They let that guy free on purpose. You're saying the guy that was always. tackling? >> Yeah, because Charlie Werner's coming. bluffing around him. Get around. Don't. block him cuz all we need you to do is. get the edge. We are leaving somebody. unblocked to get to the edge.

>> That's smart. That's having a lot of. confidence that uh who's who's a running. back. >> is going to be able to break the tackle. in the back field there. Let the guy get. through and I feel like he played that. very well. That defensive end. >> Yeah, that's Von Miller, I believe. you. know, a little longer in the tooth for a. good good player. I mean, look, this is. why backers get paid the big bucks to. make guys miss oneonone at open space. But yet, I'm sure Von wants that. playback. >> Well, congratulations to the Atlanta. Falcons. Your offensive line is still. around. Now, to the Atlanta Falcons. fans, and we've said that to before when.

you were featured on here and your team. inev inevitably was absolutely shite. Uh, we'd like to say this time it's. different. >> They're trending up. >> Pennix is a guy. >> Pennix is a guy from week to week. We. got to really base that on who he's. playing and how he shows up because. against Carolina didn't show up. >> Worst game, >> but worst game. But the two games. they've won, he's looked fantastic. He. threw some deep balls in this game, he. was awesome. >> Okay, let's go to the next. Who's the. number three offensive line out of week. four? >> The Jacksonville Jaguars. Wow. >> Three in one, boys. >> I don't know if I like that. >> Keep your name out his [ __ ] mouth.

Thank you. >> Yeah, you're right. You're right. You. better watch out when you're speaking. that certain way to Liam Cohen. But. let's take a look at this group. They're. really good. They're not just. >> What's this guy's deal? What's your You better. Yeah, you're. right. You better. Can we put that. tailor tape up? I don't like that we. were a part of the problem. >> Did we fix it first before we put the. tail question? Well, >> that's that's. 62. >> What the hell? >> He is 6 foot two. I'm sick of it. And.

remember, Liam's scrappy. Always has. been. Always. Not that coach Solah. isn't, but Liam's not going to go down. without a dog fight for sure. That's. Liam Cohen football. And I like that. there was a little bit of a dust up out. there between Liam Cohen and Robert. Salah. But I think Liam Cohen does have. the mentality of a dog. And I think his. players have the same exact mentality. They got a team brewing down there in. Duvall. And uh I personally as. Indianapolis Colts fan, don't love it. He is 6'2. >> That's him from college.

>> What are you saying? Come on. That's. that's actually him. soon. Quarterback. number 12. >> He went to Lasal Academy. You know that. place. >> of course. And then guess where he went. to college? >> Where'd he go to college? >> Mass Ammerst, baby. Go Minute Man. >> Yeah. And he's from uh Rhode Island. there. A small little town. Think about. how many people have said, "You're never. going to make it out of here." Yeah. >> You're never going to make it out here. And Liam said, "Wait till I'm 6'2.". What's that? >> Victor Cruz's quarterback. >> Yeah. Victor Cruz was there. >> That was his quarterback. >> Oh my god. They were salsa. They were. doing the entire thing. I mean, that all. makes sense. >> We remember this all. What we'd like to.

let Liam know is we appreciate the way. you handled that situation. And I don't. think any of us knew Solo was 6'4. If. you knew that in that moment, it takes a. lot of gut sack, dude, just to be like, actually, yeah, I'm going to I am going. to fight that guy. >> Yeah, cuz Salo was ready for war. instantly. >> Kyle Shanahan say he's a nice guy, but. every once in a while, I guess you got. to go. Yeah. I I don't think Salah is a. guy I'm picking, you know? No. Liam. Cohen said though, I got it's it's. [ __ ] my name, dude. I'm out of Rhode. Island. >> Exactly. You think this guy's just going.

to run his mouth? His team has uh. seemingly taken his identity, though. Dogs everywhere across Jacksonville. You. like their offensive line. I don't love. that as an Indianapolis Colts fan and. season ticket holder. >> I love their offensive line. We'll start. with my guy Hany from the shipyard who I. train all offseason. Okay, makes that. second team. Let the clip run. Let the. clip run as he gets to the future Hall. of Fame linebacker Fred Warner. Chase. his ass down. Put him on the ground. Cut. back behind. >> That's big time. Out leverage out in.

space. Getting to him. That's big time. >> Winning record down there in. Jacksonville. Is it because the. offensive line? Is that what you're. saying here? The ETN's been dancing. I I. haven't seen him run a lot. >> Yeah, I think it's everybody. ETN's. towards the top of the league in in. rushing performances every single week. And it starts with their offensive line, but it starts with Liam Cohen. understanding the run game is just as. important as the as the balls down the. field. >> What are you [ __ ] Bob? Oh, that. last one. >> Oh my. That looked like a double punch. to the jaw. >> Jeez. >> They're playing very physical. Brand.

foot. Look at 55. >> Boom. >> Oh my god. >> Got a little knee. >> Yeah, he had his knee. I don't know how. these big guys run down the field, have. so many awkward shots, and not hurt. themselves. How quickly guys are able to. get up. We said that about Kaden. Proctor. Kaden Proctor with how large he. is. What what what was it? 307. 365. He's huge. >> Something like that. Do you see how. smoothly he got up? >> Yeah, he's unbelievable. >> Just like smooth. Like it it wasn't like. it was. >> it was no pain. There was no no struggle. with how big he is. Just smoothly got.

up, smoothly caught it. It's like these. guys are incredible athletes. Incredible. >> I'm glad I got out at the time that I. did because they just keep getting. bigger, stronger, faster, and more. >> Whip your hall of famer. Western. Pennsylvania Intercolastic Athletic. League basketball hall of famer. AQ. Shipley. He should have maybe been out. there at tackle. >> They always had him at center and guard. and then on the wedge of kickoff. might. have should have been out there dancing. with the with those quick feet out there. at left tackle. >> I also want no part of that. I want no. part of be those little baby arms. >> No, because Denil Hunter sitting across. from me. I don't want that. And I'm.

telling you, the worst anxiety I ever. had my entire life was whenever I was. playing at guard and they just put. Julius Peppers, James Harrison, Chandler. Jones over over me every single week. >> So, it was a little bit of a experience. of a tackle. >> I felt it. I felt it. I held my own and. I fought. Yeah, you did. >> I fought. >> You fought. >> I certainly did. >> 12 years of fighting. >> Yeah, you did. Super Bowl champion. Super Bowl champion. Super Bowl champ. Who's the number two offensive line. performing off uh week four?

>> Yeah. Let's go back to the Buffalo. Bills. >> Love that. >> Playing at a high level. And let's start. with David Edwards on this play. Let's. look at the left guard here. Let's watch. him lift another human off the ground. and throw him. He almost hurts Deion. Dawkins. Look at this. Just throws him. >> Just throws him. And let's look at the. backside right tackle filling in for. Spencer Brown. Ryan Demar. Let's watch. him. Great pad level. Get underneath. him. Drive your feet. Bury him. Finish. over the top of him. >> So, the Bills are uh It feels like. everybody were watching kind of a nasty. there. Is the nastiness coming back to. offensive lineman?

>> It better be cuz I' I' I've had enough. of the finesse [ __ ] I've had enough. >> There's been a lot of that though, hasn't there been? >> There has been a lot of finesse, but I. think now you're starting to see the. jumbo packages, the big formations, and. guys running off the ball trying to. finish guys again. >> Yeah. And you're spotlighting it too on. X. Guys know that if you get a couple. good blind sides in, AQ will put it over. and JJ W would be pissed off about it. >> Oh yeah. >> Number one. >> You did win on that. Number one. performing offensive line, >> the Detroit Lions. >> Wow, they're back. >> All the way back. >> They're back. The Detroit Lions are all.

the way back. >> They look so good. And when you watch. Penn's soul, not on this play, but all. game long, just beating the hell out of. people. But let's watch this scheme. right here. Really good. Right side's. going to kick out. left side. We're. gonna call this a slice technique. Left. guard's gonna block out on the three. tech. We're going to slice Taylor Decker. behind. Get up on a line. Look at that. [ __ ] hole. >> Can you guys run through that hole? >> They're back. Yes, sir. That's a big. gaping hole. We saw a lot of that from. Detroit over years past, but we know. with the retirement of.

>> Frank. >> and the cutting of. >> Zitler. >> and also uh skill. >> and the loss of Ben Johnson who we now. know is like a drill instructor. We. didn't know if the offensive line was. ever going to be what it was in the. past. Feels like you're saying don't. worry about it. They are back to who. they have always been. >> Yeah, we highlighted last week how good. Cleveland's defense is. This week this. unit held them to zero sacks and ran for. over 100 yards. Gibbs had an electric. day. Montgomery got shut out a little. bit. They knew he was getting the ball. when he was in, but up front they beat.

the [ __ ] out of this unit. >> Dut, think about MCDC talking about the. Cleveland Browns defense. They're. calling it historic, man. They're saying. he can't out tough this team, man. They're saying, think about all that he. could have drawn from for this. particular performance. You said the. Browns had zero sacks. >> Zero sacks. >> Yeah. I mean, coming in beating up the. because it's two backto-back AFC North. teams who's known to be tough. Ravens. and then now the Cleveland Browns and on. Gibbs touchdown run like the way they. just move. I think Mason Graham was in. like the whole right side of the.

offensive line was just bully ball. You. love that. That's that should always be. the basis of this Detroit Lions offense. and they're back to who they were. >> I love that the Lions are tough again. That's MCDC. Congrats to the top five in. the trenches. >> Oh yeah. >> Congrats. >> Top five performing offensive lines out. of week four. Number one Detroit Lions. >> We saw maybe a friend choice there. Is. that what you guys heard in the middle. of that? >> Hey, this guy sleeps in my house in the. office. >> See, this first step he has is called. the the AQ shuffle. If if you see, we. coach him up on that.

>> You put your arms in real close cuz you. don't have long arms. Don't need them. It's actually kind of a benefit whenever. you're trying to get through some space. and then you get out there and then he. dumps a guy. >> Hey, you guys know who has the fourth. lowest pressure rate among all offensive. linemen in the NFL right now? Robert. Hany. >> Let's go. >> Who's giving those grades? >> Shipyard LLC. >> It's not me. It's not me. Only grades I. I want to look at. >> Is it PFF grades? >> I think it's ESPN's pressure rates. >> Well, which one matters more? Cuz I. heard a legend, a Hall of Famer speaking. about grades. Here's Coach Steve.

Spagnolo. >> What grades are you using? >> I'm looking at right now. >> That's what everybody uses. The only. thing, you know, I you know, Chris. Collinsworth, I I think he's a good. dude. >> He's involved in that company. I I just. I don't know how you grade put a grade. on somebody when you don't know actually. what their assignment was or what they. were being told. So, I don't know. It's. like that for from our standpoint, >> I thought Chris in this particular game. had a real big effect on the game. They. obviously found ways to double him,

whether it was two linemen, the full, excuse me, the running back at times was. chipping inside, which you don't see a. lot, but that was the Chris Jones. effect. A number of times that he didn't. get there, but I think he forced the. quick throw step up. So, you know, from. my st I don't remember what Chris's. actual grade was. Um, but I know that at. the end of the game, I thought the guys. up front, Chris included, had a big. effect on the way things went. >> You mentioned PFF and they don't know. the place. If I'm not mistaken, it was. Mike Zimmer a couple years ago when he.

coached the Viking made that same point. How would stock do coaches when they're. looking at PFF, put the stock in there? >> Well, I will say this, there's a lot of. stuff PFF puts out that's valuable and. useful. Uh my my only thing I think a. lot of coaches feel the same way. Chris. and I have talked about it. We've. laughed about it. Uh and I think their. guys do a really good job and they see. listen they can be but I just think. there's a margin of error when you don't. know exactly what the player was told. It may look like he's made a mistake or.

a mental error and gets but it might. been have been exactly what they told. him. So I think that you got there's a I. don't know I used to I took a stat class. a long time ago and there's a name for. that. you know, whatever. There there's. a margin of error is the only thing I. can think of right now. Uh, but I I we. listen, we I mean, we get paid to grade. our guys and coach our guys and evaluate. them. So, we're not using that for for. that and and and we're going to as far. as other players and whether we use the. grades on other players. That has to. come from our eye and watching the tape.

>> We can't be just believing what PFF's. saying for guys to come on our actual. team. If you guys are drafting a fantasy. football team, for sure. And he also. said in there complimentary, there's. things in there that are good. There's. valuable things that are coming from. PFF, but man, I'm the defensive. coordinator and I've seen the grade that. somebody's given and I've told the guy. specifically not to do that. And he. takes a hit on his PFF grade and now. publicly people think this guy is an. absolute doofus because PFF has become. like a Mad rating and PFF has become.

like this is what these people actually. are. I have been pissed off about a. Madden rating in the past. They had me. at like a 70s something. My arm rating. was like very low. My strength, my. tackling. I'm like, you [ __ ]. don't know B. I got people playing this. game that I'm friends with are calling. me a [ __ ] I I take them out. I would. throw a ball better than my tackle. I. got tackles. I got throw. Like, what do. we You don't know what this actually is. And then obviously as you get older, your your rating goes up and everything, but there's people that judge players. entirely. >> off of the rating they see on Sunday.

Night Football whenever they're. introduced. This person is ranked 68th. out of 72 options right here with PFF or. the Madden rating is how man this guy. [ __ ] stinks. Every time he's on my. team there something bad happen. Or if. somebody's really good on Madden Sky. allp pro this guy on Madden is an allp. pro. It's like there's certainly the. human element that uh kind of gets m. missed in it all but there has to be. some sort of grading that we know who. that baseline somewhere you know. So, it's like PFF serves, I think, a a vital.

part of the entire thing of the fan. base. And same with Madden ratings, but. we we can't be at the point where we. just blindly follow them, which is what. Spags I think was saying, teams can't do. it. >> It plays a a great role. I I love what. PFF does. And it's a tool that you can. use, you know, with especially if you're. in the building or whatever when you're. watching film and you're seeing what you. see with your eyes. And if a guy is. ranked, you know, 68 out of 72, he's. probably not like a top 10 guy, you. know. It's not to say that he's one of. the worst guys in the league. So, it's. definitely a tool to use, especially. when you're preparing for a team, you.

know, on a week- toeek basis. If I'm a a. DB and if PFF is telling me, hey, one of. the things I love about is like the. quarterback heat map, like where. quarterbacks like to go with the ball, we see it a lot with the nextG stats. after the game, you know, they're kind. of hit chart. So, definitely tools use, but I love what Spag said like you can't. know. We say it up here doing in the. trenches or everything DB. We're only. going off our personal experience, but. we don't know what adjustments are being. made. uh between series. Hey, we're. gonna play cover four this way if AJ. Brown is in the slot as opposed to if.

it's Devonte Smith. So, it's just so. many different things. These guys are in. the building for hours on hours coming. up with game plans, coaches and players. So, it's tough. But, I do like what PFF. does. But, yeah, >> Sunday Night Football getting introd. I've been on free agent visits and you. know, PF that that agents tell you, hey, well, your grade is this or they got you. here. And a lot of those people who. don't know ball like that but can be in. a decision-making position whether it's. ownership level or front office that's. the easiest thing to look at. PFF they. watch every play. Collinssworth he's. calling. He knows he's talking about. So.

yeah, it's it's give and take there. >> Well and then also uh people that are in. decision-m roles, kids play Madden. >> Yeah, for sure. >> And uh I love this guy on Madden. He's. so good. He's so cool. that. Yeah, this. dude's going mad, dummy on Madden. And. for us potentially in a stadium if you. give him an opportunity. It's crazy how. the world works. But. >> the football people, I I think they. appreciate what the PFF thing does. because it provides a lot of information. that maybe in the past you had to take.

hours and hours and hours and hours to. find, but you can't just blindly follow. JJ Watts tweet was, "Players and coaches. all say the same thing." Yet, we still. plaster these grades and rankings on. national broadcast and all over social. media. BFF has some very useful tools. for statistical breakdowns, film study. assistance, etc. The player grading. system is the major issue. And I think. the reason why players all feel this way. is because we feel like we've all been. misrepresented by these grades and. people that we have run into in our real. lives have thought that that was the.

right thing strictly because of it. So, you're going to get a different opinion. from players than you're going to give. with everything else. On the flip side, just like with everything else, when. somebody shows me, hey, I had a 92. rating on PFF this week. >> Love it. >> Hell yeah. >> Retweet. Hell yeah. Appreciate your PFF. So, yeah, you take it to go with the. bat. >> I was the PFF all decade punter. You. were. >> Congratulations. Still on that. sweatshirt. Yeah. >> Love it. Love it. Honored to do it. Well, honored to do it. I was Madden's. highest rated punter and also highest. rated player on the Colts, I believe, for like my final two seasons, 94, 93.

I'll tell you what, life was a lot. better whenever those ratings were. happening. you my friends that are. playing football or drafting a team or. playing Madden or whatever it is, all of. a sudden it's like, man, I'm [ __ ]. happy you're on the team instead of that. lump that you were can run some fakes. now. You can run a little bit. It's. like, yeah, yeah, this is good. Thank. you, Madden, for doing that. But that's. crazy the amount of power. >> Oh, yeah. >> That that has. Why don't you guys come. up with a rating system? >> Yeah. Come on, boys. >> Why don't you guys do that? Why don't. you watch every play? >> I mean, I will say to echo what JJ said,

it is phenomenal the the stuff you can. pull. Like you can literally filter. things for film study and you can go on. there and say give me all 2 by two trick. plays uh out of the AFC North and it'll. pull every play within seconds within. seconds. >> Good AI. >> Yeah. It'll give me every every blitz. play and it'll literally anytime there's. five guys or more rushing. Boom. It. pulls it right there for the whole. season. Like you can get a bunch of. stuff. >> There's just some context missing. potentially whenever you're putting. numbers on people, whenever you're. assigning numbers to what people's worth. are to society. Like you like you said,

Sunday Night Football, I think, is the. biggest issue because we see how big. those are and like a lot of just like. casual football fans are watching those. and you're never going to double check. It's like you see the player. introductions and you see a guy 68th out. of 72nd, it's like. >> my starting left tackle [ __ ] sucks. What's this about? And then it just like. and there's not. >> Let him make one mistake. >> Yeah. And there's not one person saying. that. There's, you know, a million. people saying that or a hundred thousand. people saying that. And like you said,

if you're going into a you're a free. agent, you're going somewhere, it's. like, well, according to PFF, you're one. of the worst players in the league. position. So. >> I So what are we doing? >> Listen to this. >> Offensive lineman, not a lot of people. know, right? I mentioned your name to my. wife and my wife said, he was the guy on. Sunday Night Football that was 72. >> Yeah, >> that's that's. >> Yeah, that guy sucks. >> And I asked my kid, listen, my my kid. plays Madden, does the whole thing. He. mentioned your rating on there, but he. said you get a 58 on.

[Laughter]. >> I'm trying, man. I like you. I like you, but everybody around me says, "This guy. sucks, dude. It's a wild time to be. alive. We have so many analytics. We. have so much data. We have so many. stats. It feels like we're getting. better with him because there was a. point there where every coach was. getting all these data and analytics. before there was a data and analytics. team basically in every single building. They're like, "We got all these stats. What the [ __ ] are we doing, man? What. does that mean? Now, now there's been an. entire system created for these stats.

The go no-go thing is now on the screen. for everybody. Scoring, I mean, it's. >> we're at a wild time. We all know a lot. We all know a lot. Maybe too much. And. is there context needed for a lot of. these things? Probably. Always. That is. life. How about some context on a. weekend that it's about to be for ball. Thursday night? Huge NFC West game. Rams, NerS. Who's playing quarterback. for the Niners? It's a short week. We. shall see. We assume it'll be Brock Pery. out there yet again. And then Matthew. Stafford, fresh out of an incredible.

conversation with us, which we. appreciate him stopping by yesterday. And also, whoever drew the photo in the. background of me with my long hair, I. appreciate you doing that. That's a huge. game. Maybe the game's best wide. receiver playing over there in whose. house? >> Rams. Let's go over to Hammer D. AP Tone. What. a start to the next weekend. in a bowl. We got Rams and Niners on Thursday. Let's go. What should we be looking. forward to this weekend? >> Yeah, it is a great start to the.

weekend. Niners at Rams, a NFC West. division matchup and we talked about it. this week. It might be one of the best. divisions in football. So, an absolute. huge matchup to start this week. Star. power everywhere. Okay. And then I've heard a lot of stuff, Pat. I've heard uh I've heard a lot of people. saying that this is a shite slate of. football this weekend coming off of what. we had last weekend with the four top 25. matchups in college football.

>> You know, uh top five other top 25 teams. on the road in tough environments. Last. weekend was an unbelievable weekend of. football. You know, you had the 9:30. a.m. game that and then just led through. an incredible day of football that ended. in a 4040 tie. >> Last week was unbelievable. So people, you know, coming off that weekend, they. were saying like maybe this weekend. isn't as good of of a slate. You know, when you look at the NFL slate, there's. a uh, you know, there's a a row of. games, you know, say you say you don't.

like backup quarterbacks going up. against each each other. So, you're not. going to love, you know, Vikings and and. Browns. And then, you know, Houston has. been shite and Baltimore's missing their. quarterback. And, >> you know, the Raiders aren't great and. they're huge dogs to the Colts. Giants. and Saints is a huge game. >> I like that. >> Dolphins and Panthers is a great matchup. and Cards is a really good matchup. >> So, people were saying it's it's a. shight slate. And then when you look at. the college uh games, there's only two.

top 25 games uh going against each. other. One of them was a 10-point spread. and then the other one is four and a. half Canes at Florida State who just, you know, uh lost against Virginia. So, there's a lot of complaining, but I I. want to be positive, Pat, cuz I'm. positive and we went through so many. months of absolute [ __ ]. >> There you go. That's right. >> Thank you. It's good that we're going. back to the offse. >> We cannot be complaining about these. weeks yet. Okay, let me this this. basically same thing happened last year.

in college football this week because. there was all these great games and then. everyone was like, "Oh, this is going to. be a [ __ ] uh week." Let me tell you what. happened last year in college football. this week. Three unranked teams beat top. 10 teams. Okay. >> Four ranked teams in total lost to. unranked teams. So, it's it's these. weeks like this where you have no idea. where you think it's going to be, you. know, a [ __ ] week where just absolute. chaos happens. Last year, obviously, Vandy beat Bama, Arkansas beat.

Tennessee, uh USC lost to Minnesota. M. that Miami Cow game was this week last. year. There was a lot of good football. And then there is some good NFL games. this weekend. You know, Denver going to. Philly. That's fun. >> That's a great game. I mean, people. thought, you know, people were very high. in the Broncos. They just got a huge. win. Phillies 4-0. That's a very fun. one. Bucks at Seahawks. That's a great. measuring tape game. Bucks, you know, four, they've played four games. Three-. one. Three of those. They had to come. back on the last play of the games. Well, we all know Seahawks are a great.

football team. And then right after. that, Commanders at Chargers. Yes. Chargers just lost to the Giants. Commanders just went down. The Falcons. have lost, but the Commanders are. getting their their quarterback back. And that was just a hiccup last week for. the Chargers. They lost to Jackson Dart. and Moxy. So, you know what? There there. is a lot of good football this week. Um, even though people are saying it's not. great. Monday, Sunday night could be a. banger. Patriots are looking hot. Monday. night could be a banger. Okay. So, it's. way too early in the season for people. to be calling uh weeks [ __ ] weeks. >> Jacksonville is getting Monday night. football game.

>> Yeah. >> Wow. >> Congrats to them, baby. >> Congrats to them, man. >> Really might go on. That is cuz they. thought about it in for. >> in January. >> Was it January? >> No, it was January. Yeah. >> Oh, okay. >> And it's happening here. >> in September. >> and now. >> it's going to last. >> No, no, no. It's October 1st now. >> Oh, wow. It's going to go on again in October. >> and then. >> going to last.

forever. one more time from the top just so we. >> we had a month. >> change. Let me [ __ ] run this back real quick. Uh listen, this is what we envisioned in. January. It's It happened in September. It's going to happen in October. It's going to last. forever. Here we go. Jags. J. Jags, Jags, Jags.

>> The Jags are a team that I think. everybody would rally behind if they. good. You know, just like good for you. Like I think everybody in sports would. drop a good for you guys. That owner. >> obviously great. >> promo. Yeah, >> great mustache. >> Yes, >> he has tried his [ __ ] best with that. team. I don't know how he is the owner. of other teams that he owns. With the. Jags though, he has You want a city? I'll build you a [ __ ]. >> I'll whatever you need. I will try my. best for us to win two pools. Who cares?

This we'll do that. We'll [ __ ] new. stadium. Okay. You want me to build uh a. new hotel for you? Got it. Whatever the. [ __ ] he was. >> Look how how do we do this if they have. found it with Stoner and Liam Cohen? That'd be crazy. They win a Monday night. football game against Kansas City. Chiefs. That'd be huge deal for them. down there, man. That'd be a big deal. >> They got the pieces. Both offense, defense, and special team. They got the. pieces. >> And then Patriots Bills, same thing on. Sunday night football. That's a huge. potential win for the Patriots. >> Yeah, potential win. >> Now, I'm saying you're taking on a very.

good Bills team, but if the Patriots. were win that game, all of a sudden this. Wait a minute. Is our window. >> No, Rick May, as opposed to in the. future because Josh Allen's window is. clearly wide open right now up there in. Buffalo. >> That's the thing, like even this year, it's just more so, hey, let's be near. Buffalo's level. like we we don't have. to go into Buffalo and win on Sunday. night, but if we go up on prime time and. we lose 30 to 15 or 30 to13 and it it.

doesn't look good, then then the whole. entire, you know, kind of framing of the. season changes just because Buffalo will. be that much better. But hopefully, you. know, you never know. Rivalry jerseys. for the Bills, I believe. >> Wow. >> Don't want that. >> That's bad news for the Patriots, especially if the Bills ones are sweet. Do we remember if they look sweet or. not? >> They're so sick. Yeah, the rivalries. ones feel like a good run. >> Did a good job with them. Yeah. >> Yeah. Like um. >> they had a couple different ones that. were [ __ ] Uh. >> Oh, yeah. >> Cardinal soccer. >> No, no, I'm not talking about. >> Oh, my bad.

>> Yeah, >> I like the Cardinal. >> Yeah, Sandstorm. I loved it. >> I'm not talking about this era of. >> Oh, my bad. Yeah, >> cuz there was the color rush run. Yep. >> Some of those jerseys were really. >> bad, but some of them were awesome. There was a couple eras where they were. trying to make new shirts and they all. sucked. the the logos, the graphics, the. font that they were using. >> Yeah. The new like the alternate logo. Yeah. >> All the [ __ ] suck. Yeah. And it was like. these rivalry runs I thought was a big. deal. Like these things were nice. You. wear them a lot. >> all the time. And and I I wear it like.

the the other merch that they have like. shirts. Um like the sweatshirt I think I. might have worn on here once. But yeah, everything they have on there is. topnotch. And that that is the cool. thing about it too is it's not just like. a color rush. Like they all have actual. meaning to the cities. Like obviously. the snow. Uh New England's was you know. a storm surge like a noraster. Yeah. Nor. Easter. There it is. Arizona's sand. which is cool cuz it's in Arizona and it. makes sense. >> It's a desert. >> I mean the the Dolphins jerseys damn.

near had me thinking they might go win. the division with how cool those were. Monday night. >> Gumpy put that jersey on and became a. new man. >> Yeah. Dark water. >> He he legitimately did and so did the. Dolphins. Maybe. >> Yeah. Maybe they wear that thing. throughout. Tyreek Hill. Uh, >> Drew Rosenhouse spoke with. >> Josh Moser. >> The Mo Show. >> Yeah. >> Or maybe my. >> Is it Mosse? >> I should know. He hosted something for. you. >> Mo at the Mo Nose. At the Mosnos. >> Hell yeah. Okay. >> Whatever it is. Good name.

T M O Z K N O No WZ. >> So Mosnos. Mosn. It'd be cool if it was. Moe's nose. That would be cool if it was. at the Moe's nose. What do you think, AQ? Just as a guy that's well cultured. >> Yeah, Mo knows for sure. >> Okay. So, >> got to be. >> What about his name is what though, Dut? You're friends with. >> Josh. Mosner. >> Oh, you said Mosner earlier though. >> I did. >> Now we don't know.

>> Not sure. He's got he's got great moxy, I'll tell you. >> M O S E R. That's Moser, >> right? Mozzer. Yeah. >> So, it is the Mosn nose. >> Okay. >> This is from the Mosn nose. spoke to. Drew Rosenhouse about Tyreek Hills. injury and surgery and projected. recovery. Shout out to the. >> Mo for joining us. Just such. >> an is on the left. >> How are you holding up? >> Well, you know, I've been an agent for. 37 years and this is the first time I've. rode in an ambulance with one of my. clients from a game. Very traumatic.

experience. I thought I've I've seen it. all, but definitely a very painful. moment to be with Tyreek as he's. ambulance to the hospital. You know, people forget football is I mean, it's. more than a game. It's uh it's a career. for people. It's their livelihood and. it's it's their life. It's their health. And to see Tyreek in an ambulance racing. to a hospital was really very painful. >> How are his spirits?

>> Amazing. I can't tell you how impressed. I am with um his mental toughness, with. his uplifting. uh attitude. He's keeping a smile on his. face. Um telling myself and his parents. who were with me, you know, that he's. blessed to, you know, be in the position. that he's in. He was watching the game. He was cheering for his teammates. He. was rooting the team on. Um he's uh.

handling a very tough situation the very. best that you can. >> We understand that it's a dislocated. knee. Uh what other information do you. possibly have about what's going on? >> Sure. >> So as we speak um he's at the hospital. now. That's where I'm doing this uh Zoom. with uh from the hospital. He's getting. an MRI and a CT scan to determine the. exact extent of the damage. Are there.

any torn ligaments? Is there torn. cartilage? Are there any broken bones? To check on the blood flow, any uh god. forbid nerve damage. All this is getting. checked out. I want to say that the. Dolphins uh team doctor John Yuri is. here, team trainer Kyle Johnston. Um. they've just been exceptional. The. Dolphins are taking good care of Tyreek. We don't know the extent of the injury, Josh. Um, you know, the team, uh, doctors have told me he dislocated his.

knee, which I think was apparent for. everyone who watched the horrific play. But what that means and the extent of. the damage and what what whether he'll. need surgery to what extent, all of. that, we should find out within the next. couple hours. >> What about you? You stay in there. overnight? How's your night looking? Yeah, I'll stay here at least until uh. Tyreek and his situation is uh situated. He's in good hands. He's got friends and.

family here now. >> So, he's well taken care of and uh. appreciate everyone's prayers and good. wishes and and he'll get through this. >> We have ours as well. You're the best in. the business, Drew. We thank you so much. for taking a couple minutes here and. giving us an update. >> You bet, Josh. Take care, man. I'll keep. you posted. >> You're the best, too, Mo. >> Wow. Most interview had another one. yesterday, too. >> Yeah, little followup. Yeah, that he uh. no nerve damage, everything put back. into place, I believe. And the thought.

is he's maybe going to be back before. next season. >> That, you know, that's coming from Drew. and Drew is going to be positive, very. optimistic, and we hope so as well. But. he said multiple ligaments were damaged, but one surgery is always a good thing. So that's. >> And also the nerves not being [ __ ] I. think that's the big question mark cuz. nerves can heal and then nerves also can. not heal. Like that's kind of the way. it's always talked about. >> Yeah. I had a nerve injury one time and. like doctor was like it could be you. could be good in a week or. >> you could have it be back, right? So Oh, okay. >> That was a big thing with Payton. whenever he was coming out of the uh.

neck surgery is the nerves. He couldn't. feel I don't. >> I don't remember what it was. He either. couldn't feel his fingers or feel his. hands. That's why he started wearing the. glove or whatever because he was coming. out of it. But whenever he was with the. Colts because Colts had to figure out. whether or not they were going to cut. him or you know what they were going to. do with Andrew Luck kind of waiting in. the wings and also a massive bonus and. also the lockout happening. So there was. a lot of things kind of uh you it was a. business was happening. So it was a lot. of business stuff was happening at one. time but the nerve conversation was. always like are the nerves going to. heal? Like is the nerve going to heal?

They're like every doctor's like maybe. probably. Is there a chance the nerve. doesn't heal? Maybe. >> We hope not. It's like nobody's figured. out the nerves yet. the nerves seemingly. are the and whenever you have that much. damage, you assume that there's going to. be some nerve damage in there as well. that then affects every other part of. the recovery. Happy to hear that on. Tyreek Hill. If he's back by next year, that's unbelievable work. And uh I think. we'll all be excited to see where it is. Tone, what was another thing that you.

wanted to make sure we mentioned here. live from hammer.com? >> Yeah. Um you know, the Yankees and Red. Sox game is tonight at 6:00 and I had. good news for Tai. if it's not going. well. You know, around 8:00 PM on ABC, the season 2 premiere of Shifting Gear, starring Tim Allen is on. And hold on, huge surprise. Huge awesomeness. Al Borland's going to be on the show. tonight. >> Yeah. >> What? >> Heidi as well, I believe.

>> What? >> And Jill. >> And Jill and the kids. >> Is it tool time? >> It's It basically tool time. It is. I. already got a DVR. I'm not so sure that. I'm not going to pause the Yankees game. and pick that up later. And obviously, >> Wilson, are we. >> rest in peace? Believe he died. >> Are you [ __ ] me, >> man? Rest in peace, Mr. Wilson. I. apologize. >> And Zachary Ty Bryan obviously won't be. able to come back cuz he's been arrested. like 20 times in. >> What about JT? >> I believe JTT I think is trying to keep.

the tool man of the past. >> Yeah, right. But he wouldn't come to. shift gears. Maybe. Maybe he wants to. shift gears. I'm thinking that there's a. chance that they're being real hush-. hush about this and then like last scene. of the episode, >> everybody. >> Actually, AJ just texted me ZTBA was. actually chewing on the wires at his. house. That's why the power went out. >> All right, shifting gears tonight 8:00. p.m. Where are we watching this? >> Is that ABC? >> We watching this at ABC. >> ABC. I home improvement. Large portion.

of me and my family's life. Yes. I mean, this this was appointment television for. the McAfee household. I mean, some of my. some of my best memories as a child home. improvement. >> Yeah. >> Then obviously you watched him go and. just crush it. Not only in Toy Story and. everything like that, but the Visit. Michigan commercials. >> Yeah. >> Just absolutely slaughtering. >> Pure Michigan. >> Oh, there it is. The pure Michigan. commercials where you're going up the. lake with some cliffs. >> Oh, yeah. >> Some trees. >> Is he still doing those? >> They kicked him off it. There was some. other stuff that happened. He had some.

opinions. People weren't happy. His. entire story though is one of. >> that's when that state started going. downhill. >> inspir when they got rid of Tim. I mean. you go after Tim the tool man Taylor. there's going to be a lot of people. going you know that is uh what a show. dude. >> We'll see. >> What a show. >> that's happening tonight. Are they just. running it back? What if he. >> What if he's straight into it? What if. they do straight into tool time? >> If they're smart they will. They should. They he and if I know Tim Dick and I do,

he that's that's his real name. Uh. he he probably just wrote an episode of. Tool Time tonight. Yeah, exactly. Like I. I get we got Shifting Gears is this new. show on ABC. >> I don't know. I've never watched it. But. you telling me [ __ ] Al Borland and. Heidi and Jill are showing up. Uh yeah, consider me in. >> We need a dual time. We do in the now. more than ever, >> especially shifting gears, just make it. with cars instead of wood. I mean, he.

always had the hot rod down in a garage. >> Exactly. He was always working on. >> Always working on Felt like he was. trying to get away a lot. >> It did. I wonder how many beers he was. drinking in the garage. Jill's driving. him crazy after a long day. >> How do you make a hot rod? >> Yeah. >> It feels like you're never going to. finish this thing. That's the goal. >> Yeah, exactly. Mark shows up. He comes. home. He's goth all of a sudden. I'm. gonna go [ __ ] work on a hot rod and. drink 18 Miller Lights right now. >> Now that we all kind of understand the. game a little bit more. >> It's crazy. My dad loved that show so.

much. >> [ __ ] This guy's right here. >> All right. So, what time? 8:00 on ABC. Toad. >> Yep. Exactly. >> Shifting gears. >> Hell yeah. >> Let's shift gears back. Sports. >> More people might watch this in the. Super Bowl. >> This should maybe be the halftime show. >> This should have been the halftime show. You're right. >> Hold on. I've come around to it. >> Babani is a techno show for us English. speaking people. That's all it's got to. be. Just sounds. You like a lot of.

different music. How do you. >> I love Bad Bunny. >> You like Bad Bunny? >> Yeah. I I vacation in Mexico a lot and. I've become one with Bad Bunny. >> Yeah. It just vibes. >> That's not where he's from. AQ. >> That's the music. That's the music that. they listen to. You know what I'm. saying? >> What What are you talking about? Spanish. speaking music. >> You're a real piece of [ __ ] dude. He's. number one on the Mexico charts on. Spotify every time. >> Yeah. How often are you checking the. Mexico charts? >> Every time he goes, he says, "I want to. be one with the. >> You ever hear the beats of that type of. music?". >> Yeah. Yeah. True. >> I go on there all the time.

>> You're sitting a little bit. >> Yeah. >> What's Give me a Bad Bunny song that you. like. What's What's your What's the one. that you're like, you know what? I can't. wait for him to play this at Super Bowl. halftime show. >> Well, see, I don't know any of the words. and I don't know the names of them cuz. >> just the sound. Yeah. Well, the first uh. song off his second to most recent album. sounds like very Eminem style. >> Oo. >> Okay. Let me What's the sound? >> Oh, you know you know how Eminem sounds. >> No, there's a lot of different Eminem. sounds. >> Mom spaghetti. >> So bad bing. You speak in English.

>> No, that's what I'm saying. I don't know. the words. >> Well, the sound. The sound. For. instance, our favorite is. >> I don't know that song. I don't know. what that is. Based on. >> You tell us your song. >> I would know it if I heard it based on. that. Don't have any clue. >> We. >> That's exactly what it sounds like. >> We'll do it one more time. Okay. Let's. hear it.

It's a banger. >> So good. >> It was a WWE entrance. It was sick. It. was honestly. >> I've never seen that entrance. >> Yes, it was. If they have any part of. that, which they won't cuz there's going. to be a bunch of corporate people at the. Super Bowl that are paying a bunch of. money who I think even if it was songs. that we all knew the song, if it was. sing along songs, would not know the. singong. This song sounds good. What's.

they call this? piano, man. Whoa. That's. crazy. Some of these people, you know, that are going to be at this thing with. the money. So, I think you're never. going to get that moment, but. >> I do wish there was sing along moments. in there. Like, that is something. especially cuz like World Cup or. whenever these European games happen or. the game down in Brazil, like whenever. they showcase a local, like, and I'm not. saying Bad Bunny isn't a local, but it's. like they're celebrating their culture. It's like we're not going to be able to. speak. I need to be able to speak what's.

happening at Super Bowl after. >> you just got to vibe. >> Yeah, >> it's a techno song. >> You just got to vibe because it they're. not it's not we're not the target. >> Yeah, it's because. they will crush the view all the. viewership records Mexico, South. America, everywhere else. Like this guy, you know, >> international icon got real motion. motion. >> Yeah. Everywhere. Yeah. He sells out. islands and uh everything like that. And. I think it was somebody mentioned it.

about us not being the target. They they. know we're gonna watch. >> Yeah. >> Like it's the halftime show is not for. us to enjoy. No. >> Halftime show is for people that maybe. aren't going to watch to maybe oh what's. the interest over there? We'll go snoop. around. San Bonito is going to be. performing at halftime. Obviously we'll. go poke around. Maybe some magic will. happen. Maybe people that have z Yeah. Maybe some. >> flag football. >> Boom. Come on in. Oh yeah. >> San Bonito's coming in there. Now, with. that being said, they know we're gonna. watch. They could give us something that. we're, you know, there's obviously a.

counter at all times. But from a. business perspective, I guess Bob Bunny. makes a lot of sense because a lot of. people that don't know Ball or watch. ball will watch for Bad Bunny. >> Yeah. >> So, that's their story. >> and can't hammer home enough like how. much of a showman this guy is. Unbelievable. Even as someone who this. isn't, you know, for per se, just. because I don't know a lot of his music, I am excited to see what he does with. the stage with all the, you know, types. of [ __ ] he could do. Cirtole, who knows? >> Yeah, I uh I think he'll be a good show.

What will the collabs be? I saw somebody. tweet Luke Combmes would be good. >> with Bad. >> No, no, no. Just if he was to do a We. were trying to find out. I mean maybe. though. not about Bunny, but people are like. Luke Combmes has a rolodex of songs that. have enough different. >> like obviously fast car all the way to. long neck to everything like kind of in. between there. he potentially has a. library that could entertain the masses.

if he because you do have to think about. that like if it's not Bad Bunny then who. is somebody that's going to be able to. entertain everybody because we're mad. that Bad Bunny's doing it cuz we don't. think we're a part of the group that. he's there to who would be the person. that would have her. >> Creed Nickelback. >> Okay. >> Hey, listen. I'm in. Yeah. >> And if you were just to toss Backstreet. Boys InSync and maybe just do a full. throwback situation, have 50 Cent come. out to end the club like he did. just do. a full throwback. >> That's I think they need to do like show.

>> Backstreet and Sync would have been. sick. And they just s they just sold out. the sphere like a thousand nights in a. row. So. >> Justin Timberlake still doing it over. there. I saw him dancing on the. internet. >> I think so. But. >> yeah, remember he had to he had to. apologize. >> for his dancing? >> No. >> No. He got DUI and had to like cancel a. show or something, right? >> A boo. >> Come on. >> What's that? What was what was that? >> I I I don't know. I thought I thought. you said someone else and then I. realized you said d u y. >> Yeah. Okay. But I can't do that.

>> Yeah. I can't do that. JT can't do that. JT the uh he was dancing though on stage. and he wasn't singing. He like put the. microphone down. He was dancing and. people were commenting about how much. money people were paying to go see him. in concert. They're like this is what. you're paying for. And it was not it was. not Justin Timberlake I remember who. used to have those silky knees. Yeah. I. mean, he used to be able to move, but he. was also enjoying the moment with his. fans that he's had over 20 years. >> Exactly. >> Can't be judging him just for one little. clip out of context. He's still Justin. Timberlake. We got to remember that. >> Come on. >> They always make fun of him for.

>> Mhm. >> the whole Yep. >> He had a great Super Bowl performance. >> He did. >> Yeah. Pretty historic. >> all time. >> People remember it. >> Mhm. >> That's what we're saying. He's got dance. moves. >> Now, that's a collab. >> Three different parties there came. together for one big moment. And uh I. don't know if they'll ever give Justin. Timberlake the uh halftime show again. >> or his flyers. >> Or his Flowers for the halftime show. >> Yeah. Just, you know, he's still he. still got it. >> It was my favorite halftime all time.

>> We understand why and we uh we hear what. you guys are saying and we respect and. appreciate your reasoning. I will say. that Prince one insane. M. >> I I mean you just kind of think back and. I always say like two of them like the. Tom Petty one was they had the full. >> I couldn't even imagine rest in peace. Tom Petty now with the modern technology. that you could have with that entire. thing but I don't know who is the right. person. I've tried to figure it out. I. don't know who. >> it everyone won't be happy with anyone. Yeah. Like no, there is no one person. who everybody's gonna say, "Oh, that's.

you know, I mean when Michael Jackson. was here, you talk about Prince." Like. Michael Jackson, I mean, I think he'd. probably get a 99% on the [ __ ] Rotten. Tomatoes, but I mean, after that, you. know, you don't have a bunch of people. as well. >> Legit, I don't know if there is a. >> I don't think there is one. >> I don't know who it is. >> It was Taylor Swift. >> I don't But no, you see how many NFL. adjacent people are pissed off anytime. she. >> Oh, people would have been mad. >> Yeah, that's right. Like I don't think. there is anyone who people would. unanimously be like you know what yeah. that like that's that's the move that.

should be the Super Bowl happening. >> So what if that is Roger Goodell and uh. Jay-Z right a part of the decision. maker? Um Roger Gell going we're never. going to make everybody happy. So [ __ ]. it. Who brings the most people? Let them. know if they'll do it for free. They. will. Okay. >> Yeah. Go. Somebody please go talk to. football girl Taylor Swift. We would. love to have her obviously at Super. Bowl. We'd love to showcase her. Uh. Taylor Swift goes just a couple quick. questions. So, how's this? You guys give me a car to the stadium or. what is the whole Do I have a green.

room? >> Oh, you'll get paid nothing. Yeah. Yeah, you'll pay for your own [ __ ] actually. What What was old buddy that paid for it. with the weekend? >> The weekend he was paying his own money. for the mirrors allegedly for this. entire thing. Just see what happens to. your numbers the next day though. Dunk. NFL will do for you. Taylor Swift. Uh, I. don't think so. That's going to be a no. for me. Okay. And then Bob Bunny was. like, "Do I have to sing in English?" And. they're like, "Nope." He's like, "See, I'll [ __ ] do that thing. He's going.

to kill it.". >> Yeah. >> That's a lot of space and opportunity. for him. Lady Gaga, what she do? She. jumped off the top of the stadium. >> Uh, >> yes. Right. >> Yeah. I think Gaga came in from the the. top of the stadium. I think like Bad. Bunny's going to do some absurd. >> Was up there too, right? >> When they lifted her up. >> Yeah. Like I remember her like hanging. up red [ __ ] Maybe pregnant. >> Yes, very pregnant. Yeah. Who was last. year's? >> Kendrick Lamar. >> Kendrick Lamar. >> And then who was the who was the year. before?

>> Was it Rihanna? >> Oh, it was Usher and uh. >> Weekend with Bren Bree and. >> it was Usher, then Rihanna, then Dr. Dre. and Snoop. >> That one was good. >> Then the weekend. >> That was But Dre and Snoop was a. collaborative collaborative effort, which I think they should do more of. Like I I think there should be a. collaborative effort like. >> like a '90s collab. >> Bingo. Yeah. Like or like country music. will do one or like rap will do one or. like rock will do one right now because. there's like this young guy Young. Bloodood that everybody's like he's the.

next one when it comes to like rock. stars, rock icons. It's like so you. could still have Steve and all they're. not actually sing like it's all. >> right. Like you could just kind of pay. tribute to stuff or you could bring Bad. Bunny in and bring all South America, Central America in and just have him go. absolutely apeshit which he's going to. do which we can't wait for. All right, let's wrap this up with uh Oh, yeah. >> one of the best segments uh that has. ever been created. >> We actually had some history made on. this particular series last week. Ladies. and gentlemen, it's time for everything.

DB. Good D and bad D. What do we got, D? >> Let's go. We don't have a history this. week, but we got some good plays. Uh. starting with the Chicago Bears coming. off of back-to-back wins. We kind of. spoke about it earlier in the week about. the job that uh Dennis Allen and. specifically Al Harris, one of AJ's old. teammates have been doing with this. Bears secondary. Let's watch Kevin Byer. here. If you pause this right here, middle of the screen, right before that. safety move, it looks like something. middle closed, maybe cover one, maybe. cover three, and then post snap, you'll. see it go to a cover two with Kevin Byer.

pretty much being this run through guy. Now, if you pause it, run it back a. couple frames, you pause it here, kind. of the top of Gino's drop, he is reading. that defender, let's say right outside. of the hash mark between the hash mark. and like that uh 30 yard line mark. He's. reading that defender. He's high lowing. him. He is the defender in conflict in. Gino's mind with this dagger concept. So, the slot receiver, he's clearing it. out and you got a dig route coming in. So once that defender on third and seven.

bites up at the sticks with the which is. what a lot of zone defenders do. He. thinks hey hit this guy two yards. outside of hash going to be wide open. Nope. Kevin buyers all over it. Comes. off the clear route to the dig route. Diving interception. They tried to write. Kevin Byer off. Started off a little. slow but he made some big time plays. Two interceptions in this one. Uh Tyreek. Stevenson had a great one as well. But. great job anticipating the concept. kind. of baiting the quarterback into this. throw and then finishing it with a great. great catch across the middle. >> Thanks for not finishing the right off I.

didn't write back thing cuz that's. actually a Gino quote trademark and. patented and then you were going to use. it against him. So, thank you for not. doing that. But the Chicago Bears. defense might be the real deal. I mean. those are some spectacular picks that. they showed and Gino Smith a lot of. people were kind of hating on him. It's. like great plays out of the defense of. the Chicago Bears. They might have. figured it out. Yeah, this is a great. plan. If you run it back to that wide. copy, a lot of people will say, you. know, Monday morning quarterback, hey, if you hold on this, you let this rip to. that seam route right down the middle, it's wide open cuz that corner at the.

bottom is not getting there. That. safety's definitely not getting there if. you just lead him and throw it out. there, which he's made some big time. plays. I believe that's Tucker. Uh, but. when they're running this play, they're. running this to be a clear out. They're. running this to get past the sticks. See. dagger concept almost every week on. here. and reading that defender that. he's reading. He had he thought he had. the right answer, but this is a great. job by a veteran safety making a big. time play. >> That's some good D. We got some more. good D or you or are we showcasing a. lot? >> No, we we got some we got some more good. D. >> Good day. Good day. >> We do. We do good. We got some good.

defense here. This is a trick play down. here. Third and five. >> Trick play. Let's do a little reverse. Hand it off to Chris Olive. Uh let's. see. Hit the quarterback. Nope. Cole. Bishop came across with a nasty. onehanded snag to finish this play off. What you got, AQ? >> You see the block? You see the block. down at the end there after the. interception? >> Uh, yeah. >> Watch this coming in right here. >> Wait for it. >> Boom. >> That's cheat.

>> I was probably going to call that. Uh, look at the Caucasian flying through the. sky. Obviously stealing a pick. Normally. trick plays work for every team in the. NFL. This one absolutely non says gold. >> If you run it back a little bit at the. beginning once uh Olive is kind of. pulling this ball back and obviously. he's not a quarterback but when he's. pulling this ball back pause it he think. like right now you see Spencer Rattler. wide ass opening if he gives him a. better throw maybe a little bit more. heat on it towards that pylon. I think. he does catch this and score. But Cole. Bishop when you're in this position as a.

DB this is when you kind of look back. and hope for a bad throw and just make a. play because if he catches it and stride. he's going to score anyway. That's what. Cole Bishop did. and then went up and. made a phenomenal grab. >> I love little good D down there. >> Oh, hell yeah. I mean, look at those. look at those fans, too. >> Yeah, they love good D, too. >> Yeah. And after they love that D. >> Yeah, they love that Cole Bishop D. >> And look at the score right here, too. This is a 104 game. So, they score a. touchdown right here. The Saints would. be up 1714. against the Buffalo Bills. And then the. next one, the Jacksonville Jaguars.

We've been talking about this game. >> What's this all about? They got in the. trenches and good D. >> That's always That's always good vibes. when you can do that. Watch Devin Lloyd. here right in the middle of this. defense. Probably will be the AFC. defensive player of the week with his. performance this week. Now, this is that. middle run through similar to what Kevin. Batt was, but Kevin By came from more. depth. Him just reading this pass. concept. Once again, understanding where. that deep dig route is going to come. from. Brock Pery can't make this throw. The throw did get batted at the line of. scrimmage, but I think it would have.

been intercepted either way. Great job. anticipating this play and then making. the catch. So, bum right here. tip. Maybe threw it off just a little bit. Once again, I think this is getting. intercepted either way. A great great. performance from uh Devin Lloyd. Once. again, we've been talking about. complimentary football. This defense. last year, they had nine takeaways the. entire year. They're already up to 13. takeaways and leading the National. Football League in takeaways. So, big. time turnaround with Anthony Campanelli. over there, the defensive coordinator.

>> Is it mindset, personnel? What is it? >> Uh all of those things. mindset, personnel, being comfortable within the. scheme, and then sometimes the ball just. bounces your way. This is this is a. great play. He went out there and made. this play, but sometimes just being. around the football to end the Houston. Texans game. Uh like 30 something. seconds left on the clock. Uh CJ Stra. going to make a throw. Josh Hines Allen. kind of strip sacks, hits the ball as. it's one on his way out, kind of becomes. an overthrow. Just a little duck in air. He picks that one off. We had um Jordan.

Lewis last week on everything DB showing. that disguise pre- snap getting back. into the flat and then making a big time. play. So just executing and a good you. know good coaching staff. They got a. good coaching staff over there and. something uh obviously it was a lot. talked about Salah and Liam Cohen but uh. after the game yesterday actually Robert. Salah was asked about the the whole dust. up once again and it was something he. said that had nothing to do with that. but he was giving compliment to Lim. Corner. says something. Uh, let's. actually get to the clip and I'll go off. and then we get some bad tea.

>> They're really, really good at at. putting their players in position to be. successful. You know, as coaches, we're. always chasing leverage. They're trying. to have winning leverage. We're trying. to take leverage away. >> So, leverage, and you're very familiar. with it in the kicking game, lanes, lane. integrity, offensive lineman, and it's. something like leverage is like a big. time word, and the casual fan at home. might not understand it as much. When. you see guys wide ass open or a big run. play happens, you're like, what? How the. hell did that happen? So, this is an. example of that. One of the best wide. receivers in the league, six touchdowns.

right now and you can kind of think, okay, every defense coming into the red. zone. If you pause it here, you want to. know where 14 is, where St. Brown is on. every play. So, right now, Grant Delpit, he's guarding him. They're getting some. information right here. Okay, is he. following 14 to the left and to the. right? Maybe manto man coverage. Now, let it roll here. So now when you get. down here and you have a tight formation. or a slot defender, you can see the. corner at the bottom of the screen on JO. outside leverage. The corner up top. outside leverage. Grant Delpit outside. leverage. But what the Detroit Lions do.

here is do a good job running a rub. route, a natural pick route with Tesla. on the outside. So he's just running his. vertical route and he's going to set a. natural pick which takes away that. leverage. And now without a switch, without a combination switch, it's a. walk-in touchdown for one of the best. wide receivers in the National Football. League. So when Salah says something. like, "Hey coaches and players, we're. always trying to find a way to get our. players in good leverage. That could be. a wide receiver, that could be an. offensive lineman getting a little chip, a little help, we're always looking for. that leverage on any given play." And.

this is a great example of that and why. a lot of big plays happen and why. touchdowns happen. >> Thank you. That's cheating. Offense is. cheating right there. That's a pick. play. He did he did a great job just. running his route if he stopped or he. made it clear. And you can't set a pick. within one yard of the line of. scrimmage. This was a little deeper, but. he just ran straight up the field. Usually with young wide receivers, they. don't do a good job playing this off. He. just ran straight up and it's a natural. pick and get away with that. >> He's finished it, too. >> Yeah. Full cell on the other side. No,

no, I'm running a full route here. That. wasn't just to chip this guy right. through his outside shoulder and have. Aman Ross St. Brown wide ass open for a. touchdown. Finishes his route full pace. Yep. These refs going to think, "Nope, I'm out here." Never going to get that. ball. >> ever. >> Good sell. >> It's a great sale. >> That's a good cell. That's. >> never even look back. Never even look. back. Yeah, it's a rookie. So, that lets. you know it's great, coach. Shout out. Johnny Mo here. >> Johnny Mo. >> Yeah, Johnny [ __ ] Mo. What do you. know? Mo knows and so does Johnny Mo. I. mean, that is certainly something. Do we.

have any other bad deals? Is that it? >> Yeah, we got a couple more bad deals. Once again, we always have a theme and. this is leverage once again. We got a. slot fade from uh Higgins. There's a. slot receiver up top and running back a. little bit. You see the communication. Uh he kind of taps his looks like maybe. his ribs to the outside receiver up top. and you're in that slot. This is one of. the toughest routes to guard. You want. to keep your outside leverage if you're. that slot corner. And why? Because you. have your only help deep is that post. safety. So you want to use that post.

safety. Once he gets to your outside and. takes away that leverage, the. quarterback immediately knows when he go. where's he where he is going with the. ball. You even look at the outside. receiver, who I believe is Dalton. Schultz. As soon as this ball is thrown. based on his release, he knows it's a. touchdown. So you'll see the outside. receiver, you see him throw his hands. up, touchdown. Great ball thrown. Boom. Once again, winning leverage in the slot. with the outside. And if you watch, >> you tackle him here. >> Yeah. If you What's that? >> When this guy, cuz if he's even, he's.

right there. You tackle him. >> Uh yeah, I'm grabbing him. I'm grabbing. him. It's a great throw. It's a great. route and you you just make the game. tougher on you when you're in that slot. Now, it's much easier sitting here with. a clicker, as uh Tula said, than. actually getting out there and. executing. But if you just maintain that. leverage or make it tough, you at least. give that safety a chance to help you. But right here, great job. This is a. rookie wide receiver, too. This is from. uh Iowa State, if I'm not mistaken. So, great job. Boom. Throwing pop. Get off. me. Stack them. Great ball from CJ CJ.

Strad and once again running away from. your help. So, good job there. >> Gotta have great leverage. Always gota. have. All right. And I think we have one. more bad. >> one more. And look, I don't like to put. bad from winning teams. I don't like it, Bruce. I'm sorry, but. >> I had to stick with the theme. And this. is a big play. And Omaran Hampton, he. was kind of the silver lining in this. loss for the Chargers. We always hear. the concept, no edge, no chance on. defense. So, as you look here at the. edge defenders, once again, this for the. casual viewers at home, every defense.

has an edge to it and two guys. responsible to set an edge on either. side of the field. Right here is Brian. Burs and Kavon Tibido. So, you'll see. the edge is set. So, watch here to the. left where the run will happen with. Brian Burns. Boom. Pause it. So, he sets. the edge, but I mean the a good edge is. you're setting it, but you're also. squeezing it. So, you make those lanes. tighter. So, he set the edge so he can. look back at the coach say, "Hey, I set. my edge. just sitting back inside. But. you kind of got to squeeze that. So the. offensive player here does a good job of. creating that space because the the less.

space you have there, the easier you. make it for number 21 to come and fill. his gap. And if you let it run a few. frames here, he's coming down now. He. has to set the edge on the next level to. send the guys to send the ball back into. all those blue shirts coming inside out. But if you watch 53, you take your eyes. inside. One more block. He went on the. inside of that block. So that means 58. would have to get over to the outside. We saw it earlier with the Pittsburgh. Steelers a couple weeks ago. He would. have to get to the outside. So if you. run it back, actually, you'll see it.

kind of happen full speed. It's just. that one block and these backs are so. good that they find that space, they. find the lane, the vision, and then you. have the explosion to take away angles. We know speed kills matchups, and that's. what Amaran Hampton did right there. So, it's always about angles, but something. that uh coach Salah said, former head. coach, obviously a very good defensive. coordinator league is leverage. We're. always fighting for that leverage, and. this is the some examples of that. >> All you need is one guy to be wrong and. then 10 other people can't even fix it. Yeah, that's crazy. That's a sport. You. know, Rugby is like that as well, right?

Rugby is very spread out, but in NFL, if. you just get two guys stacked behind. each other and one gap left wide open. and one gap taken by two people, that's. touchdown, bro. That that is it. All you. need is one person to not see the field. the same way. That's why any play can. change the trajectory of a season. >> And that's why you always want to be on. good D and not bad D with everything DB. >> Oh yeah. >> David, great show. That. >> was a fun show. Hey Q, thank you for. traveling out here, buddy. >> Thanks for having me. Great, boys. >> So, we didn't talk about Penn State. Really?

>> Atmosphere. Really good. Really good. Oh, they're dead. They're They didn't. even say it. Did you watch the office? No, you didn't say it. >> Oh. Oh, we are. >> Oh, no. >> Like a little house cat. Like a little. [ __ ] cat. >> Unbelievable. >> So soft there. So soft. What's the. problem? You're a Penn Stater.

>> Best atmosphere I've seen and. experienced. It was awesome. Uh got a. chance to go see the national champion. women's uh volleyball team. hang out. with them. They need we need to start. stacking wins there as well. Got a. chance to see a lot of the facilities. that are being built up. Obviously had a. chance to hang out at the stadium a. couple different time. I mean, everything is awesome up and obviously. Oregon's going to be around in the long. run. That thing went double overtime. Good weekend up there. Good weekend up. there. >> They three points going into the fourth. quarter. >> and they still got to overtime.

>> Yeah. And that's my issue with it is the. fact that we have all these slow. developing runs. We don't push the ball. down the field. Everything's short of. the sticks. Everything's these short. stick routes. Everything's gimmicky. Everything's all what it shouldn't be. for the first three quarters. And then. we decide to open up the playbook, push. the ball down the field, and you. >> want him to run the ball or you want him. to throw ball. >> I want him to run off the ball. I want. it to be aggressive. I want it to look. like the other stuff. I want it to look. like Bama. I want it to look like. Jordan. You got the talent. Open it up. Let's go. >> Well, what I thought it was an okay. game, you know. I thought it was okay.

game on you. >> Did you watch the offense for the first. three quarters? >> I was there. Yeah, it was tough. It was. really tough. for your defense is. awesome. >> Defense phenomenal. They play it out of. their minds. I mean, I love everything. they did and I love the new defensive. coordinator mixing up the coverages. I. thought he did a great job with that. mixing up the blitz with the coverage. I. thought that was great. They played with. chaos and relentless. Relentless, but. like on offense. >> Everything takes 5 seconds to get going. >> Can't do it. >> Can't do run off the ball, hand the. ball, get downhill.

>> 111,000 people in there. >> Showed up. >> Middle of a renovation. expecting. electricity. You know what they got? Struck by lightning. >> Oh wow. >> Pretty good. >> I like that. >> Wow. >> Cute. >> There was a lightning being struck. conversation that Portoy was having over. there. Saw people really reacting a. negative. >> He didn't love that. >> He obviously didn't mean. >> Are you sure? >> He didn't want people to get struck by. lightning. I think you know, >> but if it happens, just not your day.

>> It is. It is a bad day. That place was. awesome. It's unbelievable, isn't it? I. mean, that experience, I told you that. >> it feels like it's on top of you. Like, that is the difference is it feels like. it's on top of you. And everybody's on. the same exact page. Everybody, DJ, same. page. Person sitting in the bottom row, first row, same page. Person is sitting. at the top, tippy top, same. Everybody's. on the same page. So many chants, so. many songs, so many everything. >> How about the Mo Bomba? >> Awesome. And the timing of it, perfect. as soon as attack was made.

[Music]. >> I think I nailed him. >> So, you nailed Mo Bomba. How about some. Bad Bunny? You say you love him. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> He doesn't. >> He does. You're trying to be cool right. now on the internet. >> I do. I do. We're not going to be able. to play because it'll get us. It'll get. us cut off. I know. How many seconds? What? Can he play it? >> Yeah. The zero.

>> with how big Bunny is. I think. >> Babies. [ __ ] That one's probably Yeah. trying to get that probably getting C. and D pretty quick as soon as. >> Yeah. >> lawsuit in I got I'm going to have to. use the Google translator. >> Something was sent to me in Spanish. What's it say? [ __ ] stop it. We're. going to sue you. Perfect. >> Messibo. Nope. Muchos cross. >> Yep. Both play. Has anyone tried the uh. new AirPods. >> that translate? >> Yeah. >> I don't know. I got the new phone. though. The new phone has a bunch of.

that [ __ ] where it's. >> like it. >> uh they've changed things for no reason. >> Classic, you know, just no reason. Had. it figured out. We can keep it. But some. developers said, "You need to prove I'm. worth a [ __ ] So, let's change it a. little bit." And inevitably, I'll be. comfortable with the new ways of the. little things. You know, like I am a. FaceTimer. They change a FaceTime the. way it's logged when missed call. Here's. a call that you should make. Maybe a. suggested call. I just want to see the. [ __ ] log. Yeah, >> just give me the goddamn log. You have a. missed FaceTime from who? You can't Who.

knows? And that call could have been. from anywhere the way it's in there. Photos. >> The camera's incredible. >> Okay, >> great news. >> Camera is. >> good. The camera button. >> Camera button is incredible. So, you. take pictures with this now. You know, as opposed to having to reach to the top. one like where you could only do. pictures on that or have to use screen. Now there's an added button that is for. the camera and you can zoom with it and. everything and obviously the camera is. impeccable. Okay, the AI obviously good. They they changed the way you search. through your phone. I don't like that.

>> So I'm a big search through my phone. Somebody's name want their uh info just. to pop up right there. So I can just hit. text. >> and then send now it's the most recent. interaction with the person pops up. So. like uh if I wanted to text Gumpy, but. my last interaction was like let's say a. FaceTime. So I search Gumpy instead of. his contact info popping up which is on. old phone. So I could just hit [ __ ]. message this guy. Gumpy need to message. him. Now it's our most recent. interaction which was a FaceTime. Okay. >> So now Gumpy FaceTime is on the screen.

So then I got to click in info into that. to go into his [ __ ] to hit the thing and. I'm like. if I wanted a [ __ ] FaceTime, I hit. the [ __ ] FaceTime button. We We had. that figured out. Why are we changing. it? Now granted, somebody's going to. tell me, "Well, what you got to do is. you got to hack into your settings and. know your software, and you can change. that back to whatever you want." And. it's like, "Okay, [ __ ] well, they. just popped this thing on my life.". >> Mhm. >> Easy transition to no phone. Easiest. there's been. >> That's good news. >> You put the phones next to each other. and they start talking to each other. >> It's good that that finally worked cuz.

they've been pedalling that for years. now and it never has. >> I think it was 25 minutes. We have. thousand up, thousand down here at. Thunderdome, though, so that probably. helps if did it here. set the phones. next to each other and they started kind. of talking to each other. Have to answer. questions. Have to remember a couple. passwords, but most of the passwords. face recognition carried over. >> That's good. >> Very good. Two-step verification process. replaced with sending text messages to. your phone. Interesting. Cuz my Verizon. didn't move over until last. So, I had. the internet on new phone.

>> uploading apps. Verizon two-step. verification still on old phone. So then. whenever Verizon moves to new phone. twostep verific where to go I I still. don't know where some of them went. I. still haven't been able to verify and. get into a couple of the apps but all in. all 25 minutes for me smooth transition. easiest of all time. Didn't ruin my. entire day. We had very high internet. speed and it is very nice. The screen's. very nice. The tech the tech is very. >> nice. They've changed some things like.

why the [ __ ] are we touching anything? But I think there is real advancements. editing a lot easier, I think, for us, which is good. They've made some stuff. in the background. Yeah. So, it's good. phone. They don't have black, though. >> I was gonna say enough with the [ __ ]. goofy Mickey Mouse colors. It's like I. what that orange one like I get it like. that is everyone's last pick no matter. what. >> Yeah, it's there's a there's a blue, an. orange, and a white, I think. Right. Is. that the the colors if I recall? There's. no black.

>> Yeah. Not having black is insane to me. It's got to be like the number one most. selling, most popular choice of all. time. And they just. >> But this is once again, you know, >> well, ZTO did have a good point. He. said, "Well, you know what they're going. to do in, you know, four weeks? There's. going to be an exclusive, hey, the black. ones here, and it's going to be $1,200. more, $1,600.". >> Night Ops or something like that. You. can trade in your super duper for the. superest of duper. Yeah. Just another. >> Yeah. Probably You're saying 1,200? Probably like 12,000. >> maybe. >> Yeah. >> And guess what? And I was just I was.

agreeing to a bunch of things. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Whatever you got to. do. Yeah. Send it to me. Yep. Sure. >> For some of them, they make you scroll. down. >> Go scroll down so that we can at least. say that you got to the bottom of this. thing. Well, why is it in half inch. font? And what the [ __ ] is all this? >> You You can read it. >> I guess I can. Yeah. >> Do you guys have an AI that'll read this. for me? Well, then you got to agree to. this actually. It's like, holy [ __ ] So, I'm just agreeing. You got it. >> Boom. Boom. Boom. get me in there. Even. transferred over to home screen. I mean,

just everything immediately. >> No case. You're a no case guy. Roll up. >> Always. >> All right. >> Always aggressive. Respect it. >> I've always been this way. Um, first of all, I respect Steve Jobs and. what he wanted to look like. Okay. When. you guys put your big blob of [ __ ] on. it, okay? It's not it's, >> you know, there's an entire design and. everything like that. And I I respect. you guys wanting to protect it, but in. my eyes, I think you guys are looser. with it because you have the cases on.

it. >> Yeah. >> So, for me, I am very careful with this. thing. Now, have I dropped it? Oh, yeah. >> Of course. >> Have I cracked Have I cracked screens? Oh, yes. >> Have I had situations that if I had a. case on would not be a problem and. instead I had a massive problem? >> Oh, yeah. Absolutely. in between my legs. getting out of the car that [ __ ] pump. hits that thing. Oh yeah, I've had those. problems. But I feel overall I am much. more careful with it because I don't. feel the luxury of like, oh, I could.

throw this thing off a wall if I want. And also Apple, to their credit, has. gotten much better over the years with. durability. Remember uh there was that. Lil Wayne commercial where he's throwing. it under water and [ __ ] I think it was. a Samsung phone, maybe. >> I don't remember. >> Yeah, maybe Apple had the same thing. You can drop it in the ocean, you're. going to. >> I think this thing doesn't really crack. until it does. It kind of cracks. >> Yeah. And then it spiders everywhere. when it does. >> Yeah. But it's better at not doing that. is what they say. >> Yeah. >> But still. Yeah. I go I do. I am wide. open. >> Kids,

>> I know. Any control that. >> when my daughter grabs it, >> when my daughter grabs it, it's so. slippery, you know, and it's like. immediately bang right to the ground. It's like, yeah, >> kids, >> come on. There's a certain way you got. to live whenever you don't have a. [ __ ] cover. Please have a little. respect. >> We need that phone. >> Yeah. Sam has a case. Very nice case. A. pink one. It's a very nice case. But I. mean the corners of that thing just. completely. >> Oh yeah. >> ravaged. Obviously it works. >> That's how mine are. I mean destroyed. >> That's See. >> that surprises me for you.

>> You got like an advancement of. technology in our palms like this is. absurd. And you Neanderthal just [ __ ]. people used to walk miles to get to. computers. >> I know. >> Yeah. >> And now we got the greatest computers of. all time in our pocket. And you're like, "Well, I got a [ __ ] otter case." So. [ __ ]. >> Hey, you want my phone? Somebody needs. my [ __ ]. >> Qu. Go deep. >> Look at this video. >> Go to the pool. Go to the deep end. >> It's unbelievable. Maybe take care of. your stuff. But yes, I am an abnormal. abnormal. I believe abnormality. Me not.

having the case. >> It's aggressive. I really don't. I mean, I would I would have to replace my phone. every two weeks. Bingo. >> I don't think so, though. I I think. that's where you remember in Batman when. he was down in that pit. >> and to get out of the pit, everybody. tied the thing. >> Yeah. >> So everybody tied the thing. They they. never fully committed. Okay. But they. were safe. They Oh, it'll save them. They until he did what? >> Took that [ __ ] thing off. >> And say you got to go. And that's the. only time you're ever going to That's. what I'm doing with the phone.

>> I get it. >> I'm taking that rope off. And you're. just living. You're going to live you're. going to live differently with this. without the rope than you would with. your otter case that you're [ __ ]. spiking like you're Rob Gronowski off. the ground every other day. >> But you can't control other people. That's like saying, "I'm a great driver. I'm a great driver.". >> Somebody else Somebody else may not be. >> Are you a great driver if you had to. really judge yourself? >> Phenomenal. >> Okay. All right. >> As good as it comes. >> All right. >> I can see that. >> I mean, the peripheral is unmatched. >> Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. That's like when.

people ride motorcycles. driver. motorcycles and they're like, "It's not. if you crash, it's when you crash.". >> Yep. >> And everybody says, "Well, I'm a good. rider." It's like, "No, it doesn't. matter." You got AJ Hawks out there. driving around. I'm falling asleep while. he's behind the wheel. Like, how are you. going to judge that? So, you got to. watch for other people. I think that's. how you become a better driver. When you. start driving for other people, that's. when I think you're a good driver. You're doing that right now. >> Oh, yeah. I'm seeing the move before it. happens. >> Oh, you're watching the arm, huh? You're. not just watching the car. You're. watching the arm, maybe. Oh, yeah. seeing the face, seeing the hit head uh. down at the phone and knowing, okay, we.

got to figure out a time to get around. this thing. >> But we understand this thing is in its. own world right now. So, we just got to. let it live. >> I'm not going to snitch on them, but. they need to stop texting while driving. Some of these people should not be doing. it. >> Without a doubt. >> Sorry. Everybody shouldn't be doing it. >> I got to stop. I I've stopped multiple. times. >> What you do? >> Are you a bad You're a bad texture. driver. >> Yeah. I mean I mean I just do I catch. myself just scrolling sometimes. >> Can't drive. You can't agree on stop. I. stop cuz my kids are old enough. Dad, come on. And I cuz I'll be at a light.

So I do a light stop. Green light. Dad, green light. Go. But yeah, that's my. reminder. I put it down. But uh. >> Australia Australia has nobody's on. their phone while driving. >> Texas driving. >> Yeah. So there's every red light. basically has a you got nobody on their. phone while driving. Now granted, you're. wearing a seatelt in the back seat as. well. It feels like you lose some. freedoms over there. But it's very uh. beautiful, very nice. And there's nobody. texting and driving. >> Good drivers here. Good. From my. opinion, good drivers here compared to. now. Downtown it may be different, but.

out, you know, kind of suburbs area, good drivers here. South Florida, it's. wild. You can get young drivers. You get. people from all over the place. You get. old drivers. Those are those are the. guys those are guys and gals you got to. watch out for. But out here, very. polite. People just let you over. >> Yeah. >> Different world down there. So, >> well, you got to wash your round of. boots up here, you know. Hey, great work. this week, boys. We appreciate the hell. out of you, Tom. Watch. come out here. behind the glass. Great work, boys. Good. >> work. >> Hell yeah. Let's enjoy the hell out of. tonight. We got baseball that matters. We'll be talking about that tomorrow. And kicking off another incredible NFL.

weekend. Even though the matchups might. look like shite. Let's remember football. always delivers. Be your friend. Tell a. friend something nice that might change. your life. We're in this thing together. Team on me. Team on three. Anything. Thank you. Let's. >> have another good week next week. One, two, three. Goodbye.
