HEY, HEY, HEY. You make me watch my hands up it my. hands up all again now.

USA, USA, outside.

Come on in. Terry.

a.

The following program is a collection of. stooges talking about happenings in the. sports world. It is meant to be comedic, informative. The opinions expressed on. this show do not necessarily reflect the. beliefs of their peers, their boss, or. ESPN. There may be some cuss words.

because that's how humans in the real. world talk. If you are a young, please. seek permission before watching any. further. Hey, let's go. >> This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. on the line with a gorgeous assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You pick.

Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something. nice could change their life. >> Hello, beautiful people. and welcome to our humble abode. The. draft kings thundered up on this what. Wednesday, September 16th, 2026. This. sports program begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE absolute greatest and uh. we can't thank you enough for allowing.

us to do this for a living. I believe I. just got texted some breaking news, so I. don't know if I'm supposed to do this or. not, but they sent me it, so I'm just. going to do it. from the NFL. We, ladies. and gentlemen, can announce the offense, defense, and special teams players of. the week for the AFC and the NFC. CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE SIX MEN FOR. WINNING THE PRESTIGIOUS award of players. of the week. I had a chance to win a. couple of these. Obviously, it's a huge. ordeal. Your team will celebrate you and. anytime you get represented or anytime. you get celebrated by the league, I.

think it's a beautiful thing. Kenneth. Walker introduces himself to the Kansas. City Chiefs fan base as an absolute. stud. gets the rock a lot, becomes their. bellcow. They get a huge win over the. Denver Broncos. TJ Watt, his brother JJ. Watt uh will be joining us uh here in. about 10 minutes or so. Congrats to him. winning this probably like his 50th one. of these. An absolute stud. And then. Evan McFersonson went four for four with. a long of 58 in Cincinnati. So, their. defense got a lot of turnovers on Tampa. Bay. Joey Burrow can only play better, we would assume. And their uh special.

teams guys winning AFC special teams of. the league. Maybe the Cincinnati Bengals. are about to go on a run. And then the. NFC side, congratulations to Andre. Swift. >> Yeah, that Bears team could have had about 10. different guys potentially. And then. Zack Bond, linebacker for the Eagles all. over the field. Then Simei Foko, uh, which I don't think I know enough about. and how he did. Joining us, ladies and. gentlemen, is a, uh, 13-year NFL vet, 12-year NFL vet, Super Bowl champion, back to tell us about the trenches, back.

to chitchat about the big guys in ball. He was voted uh alongside David Pash, the number two uh local color commentary. team around the NFL last year. Ladies. and gentlemen, Penn State guy, AQ. >> Hey, can you tell me about Sime Foko. real quick here? >> Yeah, so he was uh he was battling for. fifth or sixth spot as a wide receiver. all training camp. He's been with the. team for a couple years now. Practice. squad guy this year. Makes the team and. gets a huge blocked punt in the game. against the Chargers. >> Hey, I like everything that the.

Cardinals are doing. got a new practice. facility. The coach yesterday seems like. a psycho in a good way, which I think we. like. And obviously, you're on the call. They get a huge win over the Chargers. Everybody high on the Cardinals, very. down on the Chargers. Did the Cardinals. have their best game? Chargers had their. worst game or the Cardinals for real. Actually, >> the Cardinals are for real. I I love. their offense. The defense stepped up in. a big way. They bring over Dewey Wingard. from the Jaguars. M. Wilson played out. of his mind. They're better up front. Buddha Baker's an absolute missile. So, I think as long as the defense holds. their own, offensively, they have so. much talent. And I think they're only up.

and to the right. >> Jacobe Brassette, 17 million a year. You. can obviously work with that at the. quarterback position, especially if. you're trying to build a brand new era. over there. Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. But Baller, >> congrats to these guys. Anytime get. player of the week, obviously the boys. are happy for you, the lads are happy. for you. But for Kenneth Walker, great. way to start his era with the Kansas. City Chiefs. >> Absolutely. Just like you was lucky. enough to win a couple of these and it. is a big deal because you look around. the entire league or your entire. conference and for you to get that honor. is huge. And yeah, that's a great. welcome to the city for him to get a.

careerh high coming off being the Super. Bowl MVP. A great great investment by. the Kansas City Chiefs, especially when. Mahomes is trying to get up to speed to. start his season. Love everything from. K9 and the rest of these guys. Zack Bond. building on the career that he's put. together, which has been magical. Could. have won defensive player of the year a. couple years ago. Just all these guys. across the board, man. Shout out. Way to. start the season. >> Yeah, great start to the season and. mid-season form. TJ Watt gets a pick. six. Unbelievable. looks like a a. raptor. He looked like an actual. >> he looked like a an alien.

>> of some sort, but he's done it before. I. mean, he he's starting to climb up the. record books, not only for stats and. pressures, but picks and everything like. that. He's a ball hawk. Uh, ladies and. gentlemen, it's not just Dut. for nine years. It's not just AQ. Shipley, who's obviously been in the NFL. 12 years and now he's calling games. I. was very lucky to have a cup of coffee. in the NFL for about eight years or so. Uh, today the talk table looks. different. We got a lot of history here. today. Let's head over to talk table. We. got at Boston Connor and uh Chris Mad.

Dog Russo. Uh Mad Dog, uh we saw you all. morning obviously on TV. Uh see you got. the sling there. Thank you for taking. the time. Travel out thunder. I don't. think we've ever really had you on our. show even though we've been on your. airwaves uh before. What happened to. you? Are you okay? >> Yeah, you know, a lot of people saw me. on Stevie's program this morning. Uh you. know, first take, great show. Uh last. night, everyone knows I have a. proclivity for gummies. took a gummy or. two, maybe three, four, uh, slipped and, uh, banged my elbow on my very beautiful.

big uh, granite countertop. Uh, went. into the the ER last night. They said, "Listen, Mad Dog, we we might have to. take this thing off. We might have to. remove the elbow. You might need an. elbow replace.". >> Very close. I I I cannot overstate how. hard I hit this thing on that granite. countertop. But I am the hardest working. man in the business. I said, "Nope. Stevie needs me tomorrow. McCaffy's. gonna need me tomorrow. I will be there. So, uh said, "Give me this cheap [ __ ]. sling and I and I'll be there and I'll.

be ready to go.". >> Okay. So, uh you're you're powering. through a lot. You almost had to have. your arm amp teddy because the amount of. pain. >> THAT'S WHAT THE GUMMIES are for, Pat. I. think you know a thing or two about. that. >> Yeah, I do. And it's back on McGaffy. Obviously, you know that, Mad Dog. We're. big fans of yours. Had you ever missed. work before, you know? >> No. No, never. uh back in, you know, I. was down in Florida uh before I uh. obviously moved back to New York. Uh. I've been doing this for about 35 years. Never missed a show, which is wow. >> Obviously why I've been number one in. the ratings book for uh 30 plus years.

You can look that up. Mike will tell you. that too. Uh obviously Mr. Francesa, my. partner for a long time. But no, you. know, there's a lot of talk about. ratings with your show and with game day. and you know, uh I don't know. Sometimes. the cream wants to be around the other. cream. So, uh, that's. >> So, you you're you're a cream. >> Yeah. I'm a I'm I'm a needle. Do you. remember High Heat on Sirius XM? >> Uh-huh. >> Probably don't. >> I do. I did. I watched. >> And let's not forget, buddy, you were on. my network.

>> Yeah, I was. Okay. I'm happy you're on. here actually because Debb just reminded. me we had been told even though we. >> I think you were kind of forced to have. us on your. >> little bit. Little bit. It feels like. that happens a lot in our career, but it. wasn't, you know, necessarily the the. perfect fit over there. We're honored to. be a part of your station, but we did. hear rumblings that maybe you didn't. like the fact that we would always say, "We'll be back on the other side on Mad. Dog Radio.". Cuz we were all mad dogs, you know, so.

we started barking. We heard maybe you. didn't love it. >> Yeah. Listen, I get it. I understand. what you're doing. Uh my my big thing. was I didn't particularly like the. cursing, okay? I think it's, you know, lowbrow. Um, you know, take Eddie Joe. Schmo, who's kind of a bit of a [ __ ]. get curse to kind of fill the spaces. >> Hold on, though. I thought they said the. most intelligent folks actually swear. and the people are telling the most. truth because they're not filtering. themselves. For instance, Dan Olowski, every time he says fudge, we know what. >> do not get me started on Dan Olowski, okay? I have been on first take with.

that cheapkate quite a bit as of late. And uh, you know, the fudging stuff, people have said it. He's a weirdo. Okay, Dan Olowski is a weirdo. Great. player. Well, I shouldn't say great. player, but he played in the NFL. You. know, he's a he's a good guy, but um you. know, I got over the swearing thing. Okay, I got over it because you know, you're very successful. You're good at. what you do. Um but when I got guys like. Derek Butler and other guys coming in. here barking at Darius, you know, yeah, Darius Butler, you know, you bark it.

That's where I draw the line. Okay. >> What? Darius, you have a problem with. Darius, BUT I WOULD LEAVE. >> I GOT A PROBLEM WITH DARIUS. >> HOLD ON. I GOT A PROBLEM. NO, I KNOW. WHAT you're doing here. I KNOW WHAT. YOU'RE DOING HERE. >> DID YOU KNOW THAT? >> NO. NO, BABY. >> I know what you're doing here. That's. not what I That's You know, you got you. got Boston Connor, I think his name is. I think I just saw, you know, my my had. a maybe a little bit of a glitch with my. head there, but but no, it's it's not. that. Listen, you know what? I know what. you're doing. Um, enough. >> Is that we EMBARRASSED YOU RIGHT NOW?

>> WELL, A LITTLE BIT. AND THAT'S. >> HEY, WELCOME TO THE THUNDERDOME, BAD. DOG. I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DOING A LOT. >> HEY, LISTEN. YOU KNOW WHAT? I'VE. FORGOTTEN MORE ABOUT SPORTS THAN YOU. KNOW. OKAY. HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? WHEN YOU. WHEN YOU'RE NUMBER ONE IN THE RATINGS. BOOK FOR 35 PLUS YEARS and you come talk. to me, okay, you guys you guys don't. know [ __ ] about Sid Luckman, YOU DON'T. KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT Ya Title, any of the. great you're going to come out here, you're going to TALK ABOUT TRAVIS KOWSY, you're going to talk about Taylor Swift, you're going to do all THAT MUMBO JUMBO. [ __ ] YOU GUYS.

That really escalated quickly. Conor, what the hell happened over there, dude? >> I have no idea. I didn't even realize. Tai wasn't here today. And really? >> Yeah. I I for some reason just figured. he was going to come in before the show. So when I sat down and lo and behold, Mad Dog walks through that door to sit. down next to me. I did not expect that. Ty's not going to be happy about. >> Ty's not going to be happy about any of. this. Dale Nhard. Don,

>> what? Taylor and Ard get him. Yeah. I. mean, there's a lot of things that just. got sent there by Matt Do and that's. what he's mad about. >> Wow. >> What was it was? Cuz we talked Travis. Kelce and Taylor Swift. >> He doesn't like talking about those new. guys. He's kind of stuck. If he talks. about 35 years, he's kind of stuck in. the past probably 55 years ago. So, I. don't Yeah, bring up Travis and then. Taylor. Obviously, I don't think that. >> Yeah, but he kind of brought it up, didn't he? That is kind of what these. people do, you know, the these types of. people who are like, I DON'T LIKE THAT. And then they're the ones that are. bringing it up and it's sounds like it's.

more on you than it is on us. I didn't. expect that type of heat. Hopefully Tai. Schmidt will be able to find his way. into the Thunderdome and where he does. he know where that goes. >> Uh no idea. I don't know if Mad Dog. knows where he is right now. He's so. pissed off. >> Well, he's got that elbow that they. almost amputated. >> Yeah. Be they banged on his granite. countertop. Yeah. >> The gummies usually mellow you out a. little bit. >> Yeah. Normally. And also when you're in. a legal state, obviously you do it not. in a non-legal state, but usually your. walking's a little bit better. You got a. little bit better feel. You know, you're. kind of in there on you're feeling.

yourself. But I guess maybe Mad Dog just. got a little bit too excited. Whoop! You. know, on granite on granite on marble. has that whole thing happen very. >> number one in the ratings books for 30. years. >> We know that what that means, >> Sid Lockman. >> All right. So maybe Ty will make his way. back here. Maybe coach uh not not coach. maybe Mad Dog Russo will also kind of. settle down a little bit and find his. way back in there. Tai's not going to be. happy about what happened there to that. desk. >> No, he is not going to be happy at all. I do wonder the immediate reaction from. Tai Schmidt after a couple Iowa pennants. go down. Iowa Hawkeye band members. knocked off there obviously.

>> Stoner. >> Yeah, Stoner. >> Stoner's off. >> Yeah, Stoner is gone. I mean, there's. there's a lot happening. Uh, wow. Holy. [ __ ] Ladies and gentlemen, Ty Schmidt. is here. Ty, >> I don't What happened? >> I don't know. I heard a big ruckus. Uh, I was taking an extra long pice in the. bathroom before I didn't time it up. great with the show getting started. And. I come out here and I mean my desk my. desk is absolutely destroyed. >> It's really interesting how the Ty. Schmidt one didn't get knocked down, but. everybody else kind of did get knocked. down. >> Gift that they did get broken, you know.

I No, I just see, you know, popcorn. buckets gone. A lot of the other stuff. is misplaced. I mean, I. >> Yeah, Conor. >> No, Dale Junior still good. Dale Junior, excuse me. Um, no, I mean, I just heard. a big ruckus and I don't know what the. hell I'm sorry. Sorry I missed the, you. know, top of the show. Yeah, it's the. first time you've missed just from an. absolute pice. It's the other side. All. right. Well, it's great to have you. back. Let's talk about football, shall. we? Let's talk about the storylines. Uh. something we've been noticing is there. might be a little bit of a hesitancy.

>> to give Caleb Williams and the Chicago. Bears offense as much credit as they. potentially deserve for the 59 points. that they put on. And it's not just. outside parties talking about it. It's. also Caleb. So, we put our nose to the. grindstone. We uh we open up a different. vein of journalism that we're not used. to doing. And ladies and gentlemen, it's. time to dive on in. >> Go clean up. We got to go be truthers. Obviously, this is going to be our um. kind of. worst game. I know points don't. necessarily show that, but um execution.

and you know the the blocking and the. whole the penalties, all these different. things. And so just being able to uh be. be a truther about who we are and and go. watch the film. That Carolina Panthers. defensive tape is putrid. >> WHOA. >> He's got his notes over here. >> Blown coverage because of motion. Blown. coverage because of motion. Blown. coverage because of motion. Blown. coverage cover because of motion. You. let him You lost contain. You lost. contain. You lost contain. So, what is. that? Seven or eight clips that are just. That's bad defensive football more than.

jaw-dropping offensive performance. >> Let's see. Let's see the sit wrap. Let's. see the situational report. Deb, but is. this is this ass offense scoring 59. points or is this potentially a not so. terrible start for the Chicago Bears? >> You know, when you put up 59 points, yeah, there is going to be. >> pretty a lot of pizzazz in that photo of. you, by the way. >> No, we can throw the photo back up. Let. me link that up. >> Very professional. I appreciate. >> very clean. Very clean. Uh sit rep uh. situational report for those that don't.

know watching this. Make sure you catch. up on that. When you talk about special. ops, Caleb is one of those guys. You. getting out there, he's he's an. unbelievable quarterback, but when you. put up 59 points for the defense, obviously they're going to be some. shitty, very, very shitty plays. But. there were a lot of very good reps from. the defense from the Carolina Panthers. that Caleb Williams just made. unbelievable plays. This is one of them. right here. We just call this a Houdini. What do you guys call this? AQ on the. offensive side of the ball with Cole KT. coming across that uh. >> some type of escort motion, jet motion.

>> Okay. Yeah. >> Boom. So right here, the Panthers do a. great job man matching this up, right? Play action rolls out to the right. Houdini, you want to kind of pop out. that backside. Usually that quarterback. tight end is wide open. He's not. He's. covered. But Caleb does an unbelievable. job. Throws an absolute dot right here. on the run. So this is a play that Dan, this wasn't in his notes cuz this was a. good defensive rep and just unbelievable. play here at the top of the second. quarter. Now getting to the situation. report. We always talk about situational. football and a lot of times we see.

plays, we see highlights, but we don't. see it within the context of the game or. the flow of the game. So right here at. the bottom of the screen, second. quarter, 117 left, third and 11. So. right here, you need a chunk play to. have a realistic shot to get points on. the board. And that's exactly. >> 242 24. >> 24-24 ball game. Obviously a. high-scoring game. Neither defense is. getting any stops here. And you're. trying to get even more points going. into the half cuz we know Ben Johnson's. mindset. So third and 11, third long, you let it run here. Boom. Caleb wins. once again, decent matches. Once you're. the top of the route, everybody's pretty.

much covered up. Now he extends the. play, gets out to his left, makes an. unbelievable throw down the field, across his body. It's not It's not five. quarterbacks in the league that can make. this throw, and he does it a handful of. time. You talked about TJ Watt on. defense, him making those ridiculous. plays. Same thing with Caleb Williams. Now, this next play here, empty. So, right here, you kind of have two kind of. zone type players, and on the outside, they're doing man matches. So right now. you got three by two. So you got three. receivers down to the right and that's. kind of where Caleb's going to look.

early and then he's going to get back to. Luther Burden on an inbreaking route. And a lot of times we talk about timing. We talk about anticipation with. quarterbacks. And he makes his throw and. you'll see it from the back copy. He. makes his throw fully trusting his. receiver is going to be exactly where. he's supposed to be. And watch this. throw after he throws it. Pause it. Foxy. right now when he's throwing his ball. He can't see the receiver. 62 is right. in his face. Tony's right in his face. So you'll see him peek around Tuni to. make sure it's completed to see it. So. he's trusting his offense. He's trusting. his guys. This is kind of you always. talk about the Jared Golf of the.

offense. This is that get to the top, make a throw. Once again, not a terrible. defensive rep by the Carolina Panthers. And then once again, this is the very. next play. Let it run. Get to the top of. the drop. Guys are covered up. Okay, this is what I'm now I'm going to be. special. I'm going to use my legs. This. is what you don't get with a Jar Jared. Golf type quarterback. Good pass rush, but he breaks it. Ducks up out of there. becomes Houdini. So, this is kind of. looking into it and now you get another. touchdown on the board right before the. half. But when you started this as a. defense 117 on the clock, we got him in.

third and 11. I feel really really good. about them on that side of the field. And then you fast forward 30 seconds. left on the clock and he's running into. the end zone, the touchdown. So, Caleb. Williams obviously had a a phenomenal. week and we've seen a ton of the plays, but it's just more in the context of. like a two-minute drive, a two-minute. drill, the situational football, and. him, you know, elevating his game and. elevating that team to who knows what. they'll to be the rest of the season. >> I mean, 24-24 already. If Carolina gets. the ball back, who says they don't go. down, take the lead right before half? That's obviously the middle eight is a.

huge part of the entire game. This. touchdown could have been the thing that. kind of sprung open the entirety of what. the Chicago Bears did. the entire drive. A lot of great decisions, a lot of great. plays. AQ, where do you sit at on the. Caleb Williams Chicago Bears discussion? They hung 59. I think that's a pretty. good start to the season. >> Yeah, this is one guy I was completely. wrong about. I mean, I thought to start. the year last year, I was like, "Okay, I. I don't I don't think this is going to. go anywhere." And then you see him start. to get better and better and better, and. by the time he gets to the playoffs, he. becomes magical, right? And so, how is.

he going to take the next leap? He comes. out this past weekend and looks. phenomenal. So, I mean, again, the. offensive line being better, the run. game being better, more skilled players. being better, right? I think all of that. plays into this because running the. football only makes quarterbacks better. They run for 290 yards. It just allows. him to have the play action game and. have the drop back game. >> Swift, one of the running backs, goes. for the NFC player of the week. Turns. out obviously Caleb thinks he can only. get better. Joining us now is a man who. we were so excited to watch and listen. to is the number one color commentator.

for CBS, friend of the program, the. reason why this is what Wednesday, ladies and gentlemen, future first. ballot hall of famer. >> Maybe. >> hopefully. >> we think. Ladies and gentlemen, JJ. >> Watt, >> how you doing, J? >> I'm great. I thought I was on the wrong. show for a minute when I saw Mad Dog. earlier. So glad to see Tai's back. Uh I. don't know if he's going to be excited. or not to talk about the game that we. had. Um, but it's I'm I'm happy to be. here. >> Well, I I think he might sound a little. bit like Mad Dog if we talk about that. fourth quarter, but it is nice to see.

you back. I don't know if you got a. chance to see what happened. >> I haven't. I like I said, I just heard a. big ruckus. And um, no, I'll have to at. the break I'll have to I'll I'll pop on. and and on Twitter and see kind of what. the hub was like. >> cuz JJ was saying that Mad Dog's face. was kind of glitchy a little bit. He. looked a little bit like you and and. part of that. I don't know if you were. you saw. >> No, no. I told you I was taking a piss. over there. >> Must have been quite the deuce. You were. >> No, it was a wine pice. It was Yeah, it. was like a 12minute piss I was taking. >> It was not a shite. It was a vice. >> I think that's a medical issue. I think.

that's a medical hydrated. I was well. hydrated. Very clear. >> Yeah, you're super hydrated. Thank you. for taking care of yourself. >> You bet. >> Especially post everything that. happened. >> Exactly. I'm trying. >> Good for you, man. >> Thank you. >> I'm going to have a seizure with these. cutbacks here. That's a lot of cuts back. and forth. I'm going to have a stroke on. the show. That would be good television, though. >> Oh, now he's judging Foxy. Okay, >> that sounds like a medical issue. JJ. should get that checked out. >> Yeah, he's got a long pist. You got a. medical issue as well. >> I like that. I like that. >> Okay, let's talk about the game that you. think Tai would potentially not be. necessarily thrilled about, which by the.

way, he's not. Doesn't want to give up. hope. Obviously, a long season, but the. Carson Wentz experience takes over CBS. number one booth against the Green Bay. Packers. Fourth quarter just becomes the. most electrifying game that we've seen. in some time. Can you tell me as you. were riding alongside the Carson Wentz. experience what was happening and how'd. week one go with Jim Nance brother from. your own perspective? >> It was great. It was great. Had a great. time. Minnesota phenomenal atmosphere. divisional game. Um I mean I would say. obviously Carson Wentz steps in. Kyler.

Murray hit was brutal. Happy to see that. he's okay and and doing better now. Um. but I would call it the Brian Flores. experience. I mean, Carson Wentz stepped. in and did a great job managing the. game, managing the situation, putting. the ball where it needed to be, but. >> Brian Flores and what this defense did. was it was truly incredible to watch. I. have so rarely seen a defensive. performance where it looked like there. were 15 defenders on the field at any. given time. They were sending blitzers.

left and right and center and there was. just no answer whatsoever by that Green. Bay offensive line. Whether it's scheme, sometimes it was by just pure pass rush. moves. Uh Cashman right up the middle at. all times. Jordan Love was back there. just trying to find.1 seconds to get the. ball off and he had nothing to do and. nowhere to go with it. It was a. thoroughly dominant fourth quarter. performance by Brian Flores and the. Vikings defense. >> They talked about his pressure like 78%.

or something like that, 73%. It was. obviously the highest in the league. And. I've got a chance obviously every day to. chat with two guys that uh play NFL. defense. You as well. I'm excited to. hear your thoughts on this. When a. defensive coordinator puts this much. trust and power into his defensive. players, what's the reaction normally? And what's the downfall? Potential. explosives over top with Christian. Watson, but can you not also wear a team. out maybe from bringing it like this all. all game? >> Well, here's the interesting thing that. Flores does with his defense because he. also plays the most shell coverage.

behind it. Cover two, cover four. He. plays these shell coverages. So, he is. basically saying, "I know there's a lot. of holes in this defense behind this. pressure. I know that if you find those. holes, I'm in trouble, but what I'm. trusting on is my pressure and that. front to get there before you have the. opportunity to find those holes." And. that is exactly what we saw happen. Jordan Love did find those holes a few. times and he delivered the ball to those. places, but more times than not, all day. long, the pressure got there before he.

was able to exploit it. And the point. that you made about the ownership of the. defense is a very good one. He puts a. ton of ownership on this defense. All. week long, he was talking to us about. how they put all those guys in the line. of scrimmage and they let them decide. If Green Bay looks like they're bringing. in the right people to block it up, then. they drop out into zone and they get to. pick the coverage a lot of times. So. that's Blake Cashman, that's Harrison. Smith deciding what coverages they want. to run. And when you have that type of. ownership, then it truly is your defense. and you love it.

>> Yeah. Yeah, if you have the players. taking that type of uh ownership, obviously everybody's looking for a. players led log room. Harrison obviously. disappointed himself. He just aliooped a. lad. How about him coming in what, two. days before the game and all of a sudden. he's calling coverages uh week one. against the Packers and obviously they. get a huge win. They also bring in Cal. Vanoi, right? >> So it felt like uh you know, let's get. some vets in here that understand the. system, understand the way we operate. Yeah. And can is this sustainable? I. guess would be the next question. And. like JJ said, when you have that. ownership a as a player, that's that's. big because the the one the biggest.

disadvantage for a defense a lot of. times is the quarterback gets to the. line of scrimmage, they can see looks, they can see coverages, they can see the. shell, and they can make all the. adjustments. And then if you have a. defense who's just stagnant, just stays. in their called, you're asked out most. of the time. So a defense like Seattle, they do a lot of communicating where, hey, I could just we can just switch. responsibilities or you can get here. You got different bodies. and Harrison. Smith that interception like just. getting that quick reroute because. that's Jordan Love's quick answer right. there from that look getting that. reroute him being behind Harrison. obviously not picking off but tapping up.

tips and overthrows you just create more. and more havoc plays like I love I love. watching his defense now obviously if. you give one up and you get Christian. Watson he can hit you for 80 that's the. down downside of it but you want to. create those havoc plays in fourth. quarter you want that quarterback almost. seeing ghost even when you're not. getting real pressure. >> hey J I talked about it having Carson. Wentz on one side of the field and be. flow's defense on the other side of the. field. This must this might be the most. mustwatch team in the NFL right now. depending upon how long this goes. But.

what a day for the Vikings. What a good. three quarters for the Packers. Go. ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, it was a great three quarters uh. until that fourth one. J, I think the. biggest talking point from that game at. least, and I don't know how I'm curious. to know how it felt in the booth when. the Packers take the points off the. board, go for it on fourth down, go with. the sneak, get stuffed. Like, as a. Packers fan, I I said to myself like, "Oh boy, they're going to lose this. game." And then obviously is the next. drive where you have multiple penalties. where they looked like they were going. to get off the field on third down. What. did you think of that whole sequence of.

events? And did it feel like in the. stadium like oh boy the momentum's. turned and and there's no way that the. Packers are going to be able to kind of. reel this back in. >> Yeah. No, this this was obviously the. biggest moment of the game and then the. subsequent sequence following it. But. Jim and I disagreed on what we thought. of this play and I think that was a lot. of fun in the booth being able to have. he doesn't like taking points off the. board at all and I completely understand. that side of it. I said with Green Bay's. struggles last year of closing out.

games, I liked that they were going for. the jugular here, that they were saying, "Let's go ahead. Let's go up by a couple. scores here and let's put this one away. now." So, I like that Lafleur did that. And I said this at the time, the thing. that I didn't like is trusting this. standard regular quarterback sneak with. no pushers and just thinking that you're. going to be able to fall forward for a. first down. In today's NFL, the. quarterback sneak is something that you. must practice and perfect. And we have. seen a lot of teams do it successfully. They did not do it successfully here.

You need a pusher behind. These guys are. too big. Big Citrus himself said they. wanted to test the rookie Big Citrus. They found out what Big Citrus was. about. Now, to your point of the next. drive, there were some certainly u. questionable calls that kept the drive. alive. The biggest one in my personal. opinion being the roughing the passer. This is not roughing the passer. This is. not roughing the passer in any capacity. He doesn't hit him up high. He doesn't. hit him down low. He goes to land on him. and he braces himself with both hands,

which is literally exactly what the. officials tell you to do. This is not. roughing the passer. They should have. been off the field. >> Okay. There's a lot of Packers fans, you. know, saying the ref screwed him. completely. Now, we have heard from a. Packers fan who's given up on the NFL as. a whole because the refs. Yeah, that's. right. >> Which is a shame. >> It is a shame. >> It is just done with the entire NFL. >> Not done with the Packers, but done with. the league as a whole. >> And heading We're still going to watch. B. >> That's tough. We got to get Weezy back. We can't We can't have We can't be.

losing Weezy out here. Agree. >> He's He's too He's in too many. headphones in the game in the locker. room before the game to not be a fan. >> Not only back, man. >> Yeah. We for sure. like we need you tun. uh back in NFL but not just game day. like their entire lives leading up to. this moment. Wayne, you've been a PART. OF THESE GUYS NFL JOURNEYS. WE CAN'T. JUST HAVE YOU give up on the NFL now cuz. couple reps make some terrible calls. which we agree with. >> Fireman's coming. Come on. >> Mhm. >> Did you I didn't see you rapping any. Wayne and Hard DJ. >> That would have been incredible if he.

could you imagine drop some wheezy in. there. >> Mill a million. Oh yeah. I I mean Whizzy. was heavy on the playm. 6' 7 foot, 8 FOOT MARKS. THAT WOULD be. so incredible to watch Jage do cuz you. know when you flip into that mode, you. know the game we we've all seen you. miked up. We love it. THEY PICKED THE. WRONG GUY TODAY, you know, like all that. [ __ ] that you get into. you you. caucasianing a couple little Wayne. verses is probably out there somewhere.

and we would like NFL films if with your. with your uh you would have to approve. this I think we'd like NFL films to. please pull some Mike JJ Watt rapping. Lil Wayne during a game somewhere is. that. >> lot of Carter 3 a lot of Carter 3 on the. soundtrack back in the day. >> yes NFL films you have been given. permission here we need it it's in a. vault somewhere JJ with Lil Wayne we. would certainly appreciate that. Okay. Your time in Houston, I watched you down. there was legendary. You're one of only.

three people, I believe, in the Bull. Ring of Honor. What's going on down. there? Let's head OVER TO HAMMER. DON. TODD. TONE HAS A question for you. >> Yeah, J. One of the more surprising. things from this weekend was well, I. mean, they're going up against one of. the best offenses in the entire NFL in. the Buffalo Bills, but they've had Josh. Allen's numbers. Uh, what did you think. about the the Houston Texans defense and. what they did not do against the Buffalo. Bills in week one? Are you worried about. that at all? Uh, first of all, I don't know what it. is. Your picture is very clear. Your. hair looks great. Maybe it's just cuz I. don't see the hat on, but I mean, you.

got a nice look going on back there. right now. I just want to give you. credit for that. >> Um, I This is something that I was. curious to see uh myself because we were. getting ready for our game. I'm catching. some of that. I'm catching some of the. Steelers game early on and I'm it's. going back and forth. It's a. high-scoring affair, which surprised me. obviously with the Texans defense and. what they've been able to do. So, um I'm. I'm very curious to see exactly what. happened there. And I I did see the end. of the game with the fumble at the end. and the uh the Bills defense being able.

to get off the field to win the game for. him. Ed Oliver, such a massive piece of. that whenever he's not out there. Uh you. can tell such a big difference, but I. I'm not sure. It seems as though the the. Texans offense was able to do some of. those things that people were. questioning and wanting to know. Uh but. Josh Allen and the and the Bills offense. must have had some good answers, eh? Yeah. A I'd say Joe Brady also shirtless. in the post game there. A lot of the. lads from the Buffalo Bills said that. was the first time they've ever seen him. shirtless. I guess uh I guess with some. of the rookies maybe if they end up.

>> not bad, completely shaved. You know how. uh in Wolf of Wall Street how uh Leo. does the speech where he says from here. down no hair. That's what Joe Brady has. going on. You know, he is a Florida boy. I don't know if he was using the the the. lotion that you rub on your body. >> Oh, nare. >> nare. I didn't know if he was naring cuz. I mean that's a fresh There's no way. >> That's n Joe Brady ain't naring. >> You don't know. >> NOT A SINGLE HAIR ON HIM. I MEAN HE HAD. TO MAYBE HE MIGHT HAVE JUMPED INTO A. BATH OF N and got that thing off. I I. don't know how he did. He is a Florida.

boy though. Got to understand that. Had. a nice chain. Was not scared of the. moment. And on the sideline I liked his. demeanor cuz we're used to Mcder. Mcder. super serious. Joe Brady and the lads. were absolutely losing it in a huge. comeback win. 313 left on their own four. down one. What does Josh Allen do with. it? Week one, Todd. So, it could be a. Buffalo Bills year. And obviously, they're debuting a brand new stadium. tomorrow night. Cannot wait to be uh. talking to somebody who's live from. there tomorrow during our show. That's.

right. Going to be a part of the big. day. Excited about that, JJ. Uh I we. have big surprise. Somebody's going to. be live from the stadium for us uh for. the first hour of the program. >> J, >> I'm excited to see that. >> Well, we were invited to do the whole. show there. Okay. day and then we kind. of made an announcement that we were. doing that and then you know I think we. all quickly realized like this is an. Amazon thing. I I don't know if we're. going to be able to this might be a. tough thing. >> You kind of do whatever you want anyway. I mean just. >> Yeah. >> So who's there? You're not going to.

share with us. >> going to be live from there's. gonna be live from the new stadium. Yeah. rep Pat M as a representative of. the Pat McAfee Show tomorrow from noon. until 1 Eastern time. Kirk Herry will be. there live from the brand new stadium as. we showcase this incredible investment. into Western New York which we are. certainly pumping. >> You guys got a clear view. Do you guys. have a clear view? >> So that's that's kind of the thing. We. we don't really know that. Yeah, surprise. Yeah, it's all mystery. It's.

going to be a mystery thing tomorrow, J. But we are going to showcase a new. stadium because we like whenever those. happen. Obviously, a city ownership. investing in the future of their NFL. team, we like we think what NFL teams do. for cities and for towns and communities. is an overall positive, but getting that. money to be able to do that is a huge. investment. So, we would like to. celebrate that. >> Got to get the Buffaloos on the show, right? Bison buffaloos. We've had this. talk, whatever. But they look cool. >> Yeah, they do look cool. And I think. >> we do have a plan to figure out just how. tall they are. You know, we got some uh.

we got some stuff maybe in the works. there. Let's not, you know. >> Okay. Tape measures. Well, >> that would be one idea. >> Well, any more ideas you have, we. certainly are listening at the moment as. this has certainly already been planned. and put together before tomorrow. So, let's just make sure that's all. understood. >> How many folding tables tall are they? There you go. There's another one. >> That's pretty good, Jage. >> Herby, you listening? Herby, we need you. to get four to five folding tables and. measure this [ __ ] out before you go live. from. >> What do you think? You think it's four. to five? You think it's four to five.

folding tables tall? In my head, I I saw. four of those together. >> Standard five foot folding table. >> Yeah, standard. >> I think that's an accurate guess. Yeah, I think that's an accurate guess. >> I think four to five of them. Maybe four. and a half of them. I mean, we're going. to find out. I assume we're going to. find out. I just automatically think. back to ECW uh whenever they were just. stacking those tables on top of each. other. Just try to eyeball. Maybe it's. only three though. The Bay. >> Oh, wait, wait, wait. Are you going Are. you going like table on top of table or. you going long way tall? I was going.

long way tall. >> No, I'm going table on top of the table. because somebody's. >> Okay. I think it's more than that. I. think it's more than that. >> because Herby's doing another drop. through all of them. >> You think the big the big one is more. than mom and dad more than that? >> Yeah. I think if you're going just. stacking tables on top of tables, uh I'm. going to go with. six to seven. >> Okay. For the big one, >> six foot, 7 foot, 8 foot. >> There we go. Bring it all back. >> Is that the chest or the top? >> The top. I You got to go to the top of. the horn. >> Okay. So for me, I was going to the.

bottom of the chest just so. >> Why would you do that? >> Cuz that's where it is. That's where it. technically starts personally in my. head. You know what I mean? But you want. to go to the how tall this is. >> Yeah. I got to go to the top peak. >> Yeah. Got to go to the top. >> So I'd say six, I think. >> Okay. >> So therefore, I think two of those. things are going to be the bison. So you. start doing some deductive reasoning. from my numbers. I got two tables on top. of each other for how big the big one. is. >> I think that'd be a good size. >> Yeah, I know. I agree. They better not let us. >> a lot a lot of thinking here.

>> We'll see. >> I know that's not your thing, but you. did a great job not thinking and calling. a game with Nance this weekend. Excited. to see you guys go throughout the rest. of the season for however long that is. I don't think anybody has an answer on. that unless you do. >> I don't. I know that I have the next two. for sure. I've got Patriots Steelers. this weekend and then I'm off to Brazil. >> Portuguese. You should go to learn some. Portuguese down there. Okay. >> I do. I do. Copa Cabana. >> Okay. >> Little Christ the Redeemer. >> See what's going on. Little Ple. Little.

Vinnie Jr. Everybody down there. >> Wow. >> Ronaldo. >> Neymar. >> Yeah. >> Ronaldo. >> Yeah. >> Bruno Fern. >> Oh, Bruno Fern. >> Do some recruiting. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Some good food. Looking forward. >> Hey, don't go to the gas stations, right? You know what Ryan? Uh. >> yeah, Locky. Well, that was that was. horshit. >> Yeah. Don't be like Locky at the gas. station whenever he was over there cuz I. do think that was kind of on us. It was. even though the original reports was. Brazil, terrible place this and then. your story comes out. It's like.

Ryan was like, "Yeah, yeah, don't do. it." Yeah. He was like, "Please don't. talk about this kind of on me." So, I. think you should have a blast down. there. Would you like to go live from. down there? >> We'd like to have a uh we'd like to have. a pres. >> Yes, please. We'd love for you to do. that. Okay, let's get to the game you're. calling this weekend. Go ahead, Con man. >> Yeah, J. How do you feel about Steelers. Pats? Uh Steelers win. Huge win against. the Falcons at home. Cover the spread. Patriots kind of, you know, got off to a. good start against the Seattle Seahawks, then got suffocated by Mike McDonald. What are you thinking for that game? How.

you see it going and what is kind of. your expectation going into Gillette on. Sunday? >> Yeah, I mean, obviously currently the. big story is AJ Brown being out. Um, that's going to change what the Patriots. offense looks like and how they operate. Maybe they get Tayvon Henderson back, which can help open up the run game, open up that play action game, and get. the ball down the field more. Um, but we. all saw what happened at the end of that. game with the three interceptions and. that's certainly not how they wanted to. start the season. Now, as a player, I. sit there and I think, okay, they had a. long time off since that about 11 days.

Um, that can be a good thing in one way. where you get to look at the tape, you. get to, you know, what went wrong? How. can we fix it? But I'm a personal guy. where I want to get back out there as. quickly as humanly possible to try and. get that bad taste out of my mouth. So, that's a long time to sit with that. game. Uh Steelers on the other side, uh. offense, you know, they didn't run the. ball that great. They did try to move. the ball down the field much more than. they did in the past. Um weren't very. successful down the field, but at least. it looked like a little bit of a.

concerted effort. I believe Aaron Rogers. had the most air yards uh of his time as. a Steeler. So, they are trying to do. that. And then their defense, they kept. it extremely simple. I don't think they. ran a single snap of man coverage. They. only ran two blitzes the entire day, but. you had TJ with two sacks and a pick. six. You have Alex Highmith with two. sacks. Cam Hayward had three batted. balls. When you're able to rush four and. just play coverage behind it and still. get to the quarterback, that's. dangerous. >> I didn't watch every rep. Was TJ on this.

side every time? Cuz I know they were. trying to think about moving him and. dropping him back. What was he doing? >> No, I believe I saw the numbers this. morning. I think he played six times on. the right side and he did get one sack. off of the right side. So they are. making a concerted effort and he did. move over there and find success. >> He he was kind of hesitant, right? Because he felt like he was maybe. wasting reps like, "Hey, I'm I'm over. here. Why are we race wasting any snaps. over there? I've already proven I can do. good." That was a real hesitancy, right, out of him. >> Yeah. And then another thing that they. did was they limited the number of.

snaps. So he played the least amount of. snaps by far in his career. I think it. was only 38 snaps. They rotated all. those guys. Herbig, Highmith, Jack. Sawyer, TJ, and they rotated all of. them, kept them all fresh, and the. production was there on only 38 snaps. You got two sacks, three TFLs, a pick. six. Um, I would say that that's a good. thing for the coaching staff going. forward so that he doesn't continue. asking for more snaps because when you. can point them to the tape and say, "Look what you did with these minimal.

ones," that'll make him buy in even. more. Listen, it turns out that whenever. we just beat him down with other guys. and then you pop in there, it's a little. bit of a shock to the system of these. offensive linemen to see TJ Watt pop in. there. Hell of a start to his uh season, new campaign under New DC and obviously. a whole new era in Pittsburgh. Now, talk. about a new era. Well, they kind of went. backwards. Uh Kansas City Chiefs looked. vastly different than they looked in the. last couple years and a lot of people. are saying maybe it's cuz EB got back. there. Travis Kelce said on the New.

Heights podcast that since day one of. them working together with EB coming. back that all they kept saying is run. through a mother. uh. >> can't say it. Yep. >> Sucker. >> No, but he said mother suckers. >> Mhm. >> But with an F. >> Oh, okay. Gotcha. >> So, and if you look at the uh we put. stars on it across the bottom when it. runs across the uh bottom of the scroll. We put mother. M O T H E R. And then we. put star F, star U, star C, star K, star.

A. >> Oh, >> apostrophe S. Cuz I do I do believe that. is how Travis said it. I don't know if. that's all. >> Good job. Because when when we first. started when I first started coming on. this show with you guys, there was the. counter and the counter was the goal was. to be at zero. And I do not think that. counter has been close to zero in a long. time. So impressive by you. >> Thank you. >> Getting back. >> We raised a lot of money for that swear. jar. You remember that? We were raising. like good 50 50,000 100,000 for people.

there. You know, we were trying to do. our best. We still let it fly. You know, Mad Dog Russo dropped one earlier and. then he told us he didn't like swearing. That was certainly something. Uh. >> Conor had a heavy dose of it early this. week. I'm trying to remember if it was. Monday or Tuesday, but there was a heavy. heavy run of them. >> You got a case. You had a case of the. [ __ ]. >> I don't recall. It might have been when. Dan Orski was on, but I don't recall. It. might have been. I think it might have. been. >> or when AJ was trying to [ __ ] on the uh. overreaction Monday.

>> That's what it was. >> Overreaction Monday. >> Very warranted by the way. >> Yeah, that doesn't get fired up. >> I mean, what he was doing was. disrespectful to sports. I think. >> Bush League. >> and he knew that in real time and then. he tried to change his tune. Then he. caught himself in a lie or two. You. know, AJ AJ wants to be reasonable, >> you know, because he's so he's such. study friends with Aaron and Aaron. always comes on and goes, I know you. guys have your overreaction Monday, you. know, he like kind of kind of puts it. down. AJ forgets he's been an active. participant in that. >> Oh, yeah. >> Five, six, seven years.

>> Mhm. >> And this I don't like us doing this. Okay. Okay. And then he said, I canceled. the Titans. It's like that's Didn't you. just do remember that? >> Oh, yeah. >> They say crowned a team. I'll tell you. what, I might have crowned a team after. hearing what Travis had to say with an A. or an ER at the end of that thing. Go. ahead, Debb. >> Yeah, I don't know if it's uh an. overreaction coming out of week one, that Monday night matchup. You know, we. expect the two contenders out of FC. West, Broncos, Chiefs. We look new look. Chiefs for sure, but Broncos side, are. you more concerned about them, more.

excited about the Chiefs? The offense. looked terrible, defense couldn't. tackle. So, what's I guess your reaction. from that game from both sides? >> You you hit the nail on the head. My my. two biggest questions are the tackling. of their defense, which I think that is. something that you get significantly. better at over the course of the season. and especially when you have a display. like that on week one. The point of. emphasis this week for that defense is. going to be so heavy on that, they will. be better. The other question is the. offense and Shawn Peyton and the play. calling and Davis Webb and how long that.

goes. I mean, you saw the question asked. at halftime. You saw Sean's answer. We'll see how the second half goes. And. you know it when you've got one of the. best play callers in the game who is not. actually calling the plays, it's the. question of how long does that go and. how many opportunities do you get? And. I'm not a fan of making rash decisions. or overreactions after week one. But. that question is going to come up. certainly if the offense looks that way. again. So we'll see. the Chief's side. I. mean, the way that they ran the ball and.

literally almost had the point of. saying, "We are only going to run the. ball on this first drive," was a very. clear, concerted effort to set a tone. And Kenneth Walker uh is going to tote. the rock quite a few times this year, it. appears. >> Yeah, I think Kenneth Walker obviously. AFC uh offensive player of the week. Congrats to him. TJ Watt, AFC defensive. player of the week, congrats to him. Evan McFersonson, special teams AFC. player of the week. Quite a trio there. as uh they celebrate week one success. They just gave him the ball. What? First.

six snaps. And then you go back to what. Travis said on that new whites podcast. Every single day we've been talking. about running through people's faces. It's like that is certainly a nice. culture shift. AQ you said you love to. hear that and that was kind of the. Kansas City Chiefs problem. It felt like. since Benemy had left. >> I think the biggest knock on them over. the last couple years is the fact that. they haven't had much of a running game. They've tried they've tried to stay, you. know, within 10 to 15 runs just to kind. of keep the defense honest, but they. haven't had a power run game. They. haven't been big in the 100 yard plus.

running games. And now all of a sudden, you come out and you have 170 yards. rushing with Kenneth Walker. You bring. him over from Seattle. He was fantastic. And it wasn't all just the offensive. line. A lot of that was him. There was I. mean, think about the fourth down play. where he bounced. A lot of that was him. He was supposed to hit that thing. downhill. They got stuffed kind of. He. bounces it and turns it into a huge. game. >> I forget. I think it was 62 of his 89. first half rush yards came after. contact. It's like, uh, yeah, that'll. do. >> 14 missed tackles. >> 28 missed tackles. His total right for. the Broncos defense. And then you go to. the offensive side there. You talk about.

Davis Webb calling plays. Rapaort came. on yesterday was like, uh, Shawn Peyton. understands that this could be a little. bit and it might take a while for Davis. Webb to do his thing. He was like, well, he did an interview with Miss Lur at. halftime and say, you could ask me at. the end of this half, you know, because. the plan could be, let's have patience. Let's have patience. Let's have. patience. But that's the second worst. offensive performance for a Shawn Peyton. team since like 2000 whatever I forget. the year. Forever. It's like how long. does that How long is that leash? I I. for Shawn Peyton in real time because in. theory it's fun. It's going to take him.

a little bit to get used to it. But when. you're standing on the sideline just. watching [ __ ] happen, it's like I. >> And this isn't and this isn't a team. that's trying to, you know, coming off. of a rebuild or anything like that. This. is a team that possibly is in the Super. Bowl if their quarterback doesn't get. hurt last year. So, this is a team that. has to take advantage of a window that. they are in right now. And if it looks. the same way in week two as it did in. week one, you know, there's going to be. some conversations to be had there. >> Yeah, you think there'd be a little bit. of heat. You think there'd be a little. bit of heat. Let's go over to Seattle.

>> How did you like First, sorry, I got. you. How did you like Monday Night. Football? How was it? >> I enjoyed it, man. It was cool to be a. part of, you know, it it was cool to be. a part of just like Monday Night. Football. So ridiculous. I mean, much. like you and everybody else that are. sports fans, uh, I grew up in an NFL. town in Pittsburgh. Like my house, the. tone of the house for a week was. normally set by the Pittsburgh Steelers. So like Cordell Stewart has a bad game. Thanks, Slash. >> We don't eat good for the next five days. because Tim McAfeey's pissed off and the.

entire town is pissed. But then if we. win, you know, life is good. So being a. part of Monday Night Football is just. absurd. Like it is just uh it's a crazy. thing and I felt that while I was there. Now, soon as Monday Night Countdown's. over, get off the field, get up to a. bus, you know, so we miss a couple. things there early, then we're allowed. to come back down for the final 1:30, do. the halftime show, get the hell out. So, I might buy a ticket to these next. places so I can maybe like watch the. game. I think that'll be something. But. it was it was an honor to be a part of. if that makes sense. And I feel you. probably feel the exact same way with.

what you're doing with CBS. >> Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I mean, it's it's. an it's the greatest job you could ever. have. I always say like I'm sitting on. the 50 yard line in the best seats in. the entire house and they're the best. games every single week. Like what more. could you possibly want? I get to talk. to the best players on the team and I. get to talk to the head coaches, the. coordinators every single week. I am. living and I get paid to do it. Like it. is the coolest best thing of all time. and I'm I'm very fortunate and thankful. to be in it. I know you feel the same.

way. It's such a cool honor. >> Yeah. It's a celebration of ball like. and then the fact that I get to be a. part of the biggest college games on. Saturday just in the atmosphere there is. so cool just to experience all these. different places. Can't wait to be at. Old Miss this weekend. >> Mhm. >> That's going to be. >> You lose a lot of money this weekend. I. think I saw Yeah. lost a little cash. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Good from like 70 yards. >> Yeah. He was unbelievable. Kid from. Indianapolis. SO I LIKE HIM. CONNOR. BANG. YEAH. 1.2 million there. 600,000. to building tomorrow. 600,000 in his.

pocket. And then at halftime or I'm. sorry, third time out of the first. quarter live during the game, Tito of. Tito's Vodka wanted to offer up a. million dollar donation if he was able. to do it again. Kid does it again. So he. raised like $1.1 million for building. tomorrow, $500,000 for the Central Texas. Food Banks and then he earned himself. 600,000 on day over $2 million coming. off this kid's left foot on one Saturday. night. >> But you're a bad guy. But you're a bad. guy. >> Yeah, I'm the worst, J. I've actually.

heard that. There was a headline this. morning. >> How much was it? I one week. That was. what like that was like a million. million two to charity. Something like. that. >> No, more than that. >> No, one one right. 600,000 and five. No, one one six. Yeah, one six to charity I. think. I think if you're to put it. together. Yeah. Shout out Tito by the. way. Shout and Home Depot coming. involved and playing in the game. >> Casual Saturday. No big deal. >> Go Dan Landing, too. Oh, they had. 500,000 for Dan Lanning to the uh Sam. Sam May Foundation for Cancer Research.

He added in another 50,000. Now, that's. never going to get talked about again. because they lost to Oklahoma State. >> Yeah. >> You know, so Dan Lanning doesn't even. want to. >> gave like seven tries, too. >> Yeah. A lot of tries. >> Well, we had no connection, so we. couldn't really talk to him. So, that. was kind of a bummer, especially because. how much at AT&T has invested in u you. know, game day and everything like that. That's AT&T connection to Dan Lanning, >> right? >> And then you see when the connection. drops a couple times, you can see how. that be AT&T thing. That was an ESPN. game, though. So that was.

>> true. True. >> So I I I think it was, you know, >> you got Old Miss LSU this week. >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Oh, baby. >> Yeah. This one's been brewing. It's my. first time down to Old Miss. And we're. announcing the uh guest picker tomorrow, I do believe, on the show. >> It's a good one. >> The guest picker. This is a uh. >> any hint? >> No hints. No hints at all cuz I don't. want to give it I would like it to be a. pretty massive surprise whenever it. happens. But it it this will be very. wellreceived. Well, >> I was going to say it'll be a it'll be.

People will be very surprised. >> I think so. I think it'll be I like to. say very well received, but uh. >> you never know. >> There's always going to be a group. that's just. >> going to be sweet. >> It's going to be a live tiger, guys. It's going to be a live tiger. >> Well, I don't know if Miss will let a. live tiger in there, but maybe there is. a tiger tie. That'll be a uh clue that. could be real, it could not be real. Yeah. Okay, let's go to the Super Bowl. champions though, shall we? As we. continue to chitchat about NFL with the. number one color commentator for CBS for. the foreseeable future, uh JJ Watt.

Super Bowl champions had a huge. storyline take place, but it's so long. ago everybody's kind of forgot about it. Go ahead, AQ with the last question. >> Yeah, JJ, the Seahawks lose Sam Darnold. early. Drew Lock comes in. Now that he. has a week to prepare as a defense, do. you prepare differently when you have a. guy like Drew Lockach who may not be a. Carson Wentz as a full-time former. starter, a guy that's going to be a. fill-in backup, but do you prepare any. differently when you have a guy like. that? >> A little bit. Um, but you're you really.

can't because you'd be doing yourself a. disservice. I mean, the natural. immediate feeling is to be like, "Okay, lean a little heavier on the run game, the play action." Try and make it as. quarterback friendly as possible, especially when you have a defense like. Seattle has and they know that they can. control the game that way so that you. may not have to do as much and take as. much on. But, I mean, you watch that. game and he's making deep throws. He's. putting some in tight situations. It's. not like he's a guy who can't go back. there and do it. So, if you're not. preparing like he can do every single.

thing that Sam Darnold does, then you're. doing yourself a disservice. But, do I. think they're going to just completely. unleash everything? No. But you better. be ready in case they do. >> I like how Drew Lock stepped in there, Jage. I I I I don't know how many people. have the mindset to be able to do that. Now, granted, there's a lot of great. backup quarterbacks throughout the. history of this league who uh I think. get mocked and ridiculed because they're. backup quarterbacks, but backup. quarterbacks mentally and physically. have to be able to do so many things. That's why there's normally a backup. quarterback that'll travel or be around.

for a long time. Have to give a great. look. Have to be able to make every. single throw. Have to learn so many. different offenses each week to make it. look natural. Have to be a good. communicator. Have to be liked in a. building. Have to be liked by the. quarterback. Have to do homework. assignments for the starting. quarterback. And oh yeah, you've been. standing on the sideline for an hour and. a half, two hours. You've had no reps. with the first team. You have no idea. what's supposed to happen. Now you're in. there. Do figure it out. And it's like. the the mentality that that takes is a. special one. And Drew Lock, I think. we've seen it since the beginning. Maybe. perfect timing for him to be their.

backup quarterback up there in Seattle. J. >> Yeah. And and let me tell you what makes. that guy's job a whole lot easier when. he steps in off the bench cold. Jackson. Smith and Jigba Cooper Cup like this. offense like Yeah. He's pretty You go. out there and you've been throwing to. the the second team or the scout team. all week and then all of a sudden you. step on the game field and you pass to. JSN for five yards and they boom to the. end zone. Oh, oh, that's that's pretty. nice. I like that. So, I should just. give the ball to that guy and we're. going to be just fine. So, it certainly. helps to be able to step into a.

beautiful situation like that. >> John Schneider has built a good one up. here, hasn't he? >> Oh, yeah. >> Yeah. He's built a good one. And now he. we do know he likes to have a good time. >> Oh, yeah. >> So, he likes to have good things happen. so he can have a good time. But this. McDonald guy, he might go down, you. know, later in life as one of the ones. Wins the Super Bowl so early. So, he's. already legit, right? I mean, resume is. already legitimized. Super Bowl winning. head coach and it feels like he's only. getting started out there. They go for. sale. I think new owner having Schneider.

and McDonald in there is a huge piece of. the value. Do you agree with that or no? >> Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you're coming. off of a Super Bowl. You just won one. You've got a young coach who's a. brilliant mind in the game. You've got a. GM who's built two Super Bowl winning. rosters. Um, who's proven to be able to. do it time and time again. Yeah, I would. say being able to secure those two guys. in a league where a head coach is almost. as valuable as the starting quarterback. if you got the right one. Like very very.

worth it. >> Good for the Seattle Seahawks. You know, other teams have to be wondering how. much they're worth. You know, they start. looking at these sales. They go, how. much did they go for? How much did they. go for? Wait a minute. What is the time? Is the time now? We shall see. new. ownership. >> and you start that's actually I saw this. the other day with Shawn McVey where. somebody was asking I think it was less. needed how how many first round picks. would it take to give Shawn McVey at. what point are we talking about some of. these head coaches in like the hey. starting quarterback money is 70 million.

and the top head coach is making 20 like. at some point is there a like that. number is going to double quickly or and. because they're also not within you know. the same constraints. >> so we thought that Denver would do it. right? Cuz they basically are they're. the wealthiest family. Uh the Walmart. family is obviously the most amount of. money in the NFL ownership group and. Shawn Payeyton whenever he was up. looking places. He's looking at the. Arizona Cardinals. We assumed no way. Cardinals ownership is able to do the. same as Denver from the beginning. What. we thought was going to happen ended up.

happening with him going to Denver. And. they did talk about what they were able. to offer to all the coaches. Vance is. still there. Yeah. I mean, people have. been wanting Vance for a long time. He's. defensive coordinator. I think he's. making a ridiculous amount of money. I I. think that is a weapon that ownership. groups who have deep pockets certainly. have over the others because there is no. cap. But to your point, do we know. exactly what these guys are making and. what their incentives are? I don't know. >> No, I mean, we don't know exactly. No. I. mean, I know that the rumored top. coaches are somewhere in the 20 to maybe.

25 range. That's just rumors and what. the numbers on the internet say, but. come on. like like. >> if if you if they hit a real free agency. like what are you what are you offering. up for a Shawn McVey or Mike McDonald or. Kyle Shanahan. >> or Shane Stiken you know. >> well I have to do that. >> well I just don't know I just don't know. we like Shane we would like Shane to be. here forever. >> but Shane Stiken and Mike McDonald are. not going for the same asking price. >> well Shawn McVey was also added in there.

>> bingo you add add him to the Mike. McDonald area Okay, not Jane Sty ain't. going for four first round picks. >> Highest paid NFL coaches says Sportico. Andy Reed 20, Harbaugh 20, man. >> Sean Payton 20, McVey 19. And a lot of. these guys could potentially have in. their contracts when a new deal is done. I am definitely within the top five. So. you see the 44 there, McVey and. Shanahan. That's probably a top five. money no matter what happens to the new. deals for anybody else. Those types of.

things do happen. Top money no matter. what happens with anybody else. coaches. are able to work like that. Once again, coaches have no salary cap either. So, to JJ's point, if you want to pluck. somebody and give more money than. anybody else, you could certainly do. that if you have a deep pocketed owner. Now, you know who should be making more. money? >> Somebody do it for Tomlin next year. Somebody do that for Mike Tomlin. >> Maybe he's great on TV thus far. I hope. he doesn't leave. But maybe. >> Mike Tom has a lot of wins. >> McDermott's done a great job here uh. basically explaining who he is, what he.

wants to become, what he was with. Buffalo. didn't woe his me. >> No, no, not at all. >> Which we appreciate. We appreciate him. not woowing his me at all because. obviously he had a lot of success up. there. Firing him did seem like a wow, who you gonna get on the other side? Then they got to shave Joe Brady out. there just kind of living his best life. You know who deserves more money though, Jage? >> Uh, Ty Schmidt. >> Certainly. I mean, I like a little. negotiation here for Tai. You're a good.

lad. You're a very good lad. How about. Tyler Owens, Jage? This man, let's give. him all of the money. We saw your tweet. Obviously, 5.7 million. I would cut off. an appendage for this guy to be one of. my gunners. What did you see, Jage? >> So, when I first when I first saw this, I was on the plane on the way home from. Minnesota and somebody sent me this clip. and they were like, "Just watch this. clip." And so, I'm watching the clip at. the beginning wondering like, "Is this. guy going to get panced on a double. team? Is he going to get driven into the. water coolers?" So, I watch a clip and. he he beats it off the line a little bit.

first. Oh, wow. He splits a double team. That's nice. Then he stiff arms one. straight down to the ground with the. opposite hand. Holy cow, incredible. Stiff arms the other with the other. hand. I'm like, dude, two stiff arms in. one play. No way. And I look back and. I'm like, there's no way he's going to. actually make this tackle, right? Not. only does he make the tackle, it is a. pile, like picture perfect. I I was not. kidding. I was not using hyperbole. I. was not exaggerating. That is truthfully. one of the greatest start to finish NFL.

plays that I have personally ever seen. That is as teach tape as it gets. One. down, two down, make the tackle. Effort, intensity. If you're a coach and you did. not show your team that clip this week, you're insane. >> That's right. That's JJ Watt. We're back. on the other side. You're the man. Goodbye. >> We are obviously here in beautiful. Austin, Texas. Kina, where are you from, brother? I'm from Zansville, Indiana. >> Okay. But do you go to school here in. Texas? >> I I go to school here in UT.

>> Okay. Okay. That sounds good. I'm happy. they're going to like you. Matthew. McCcon is here. Any words for Connor. here that maybe he should think about. before kicking a $1 million. >> kick. >> Yeah. Yeah. Got you, David. >> Gonna How about that? How about that? A. southpaw leg. >> Soccer sty going barefoot. Tony Franklin. come back. >> I like that. >> You're going to kick this thing just. inside the our left upright and kick it. into DKR. >> Uh you played soccer growing up, so he.

should have a little bit of comfort. kicking. >> I'm going to have pop. >> Okay, so do you think a million-dollar. kick is going to happen here in Austin? This be the first time ever for this. kicking season. >> It is going to happen. It's going to. happen. My man Conor's got this. And. listen, here's the other thing. What do. you got to lose? >> Nothing cuz you ain't got the millions. No, no, no. That's not yours yet. You. going to go get it with the left leg. >> You're right. Hey, I didn't think about. it. >> Rehearsing's done, right? It's live. What do we get at one take? And why not? >> In Indianapolis, there's this nonprofit. called Building Tomorrow.

>> And if I make this kick, hopefully I. want to give half of those proceeds to. Building Tomorrow. >> OKAY, we got A GOOD KIT HERE. YOU GOT. IT. >> Let it rip, BABY. $1 MILLION KICKER. >> OH MY GOD. LET ME TELL YOU,

>> LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. >> We will do one more kick. >> Now, from my understanding, which I. appreciate you doing this, Mr. McConn is. going to throw in 100,000. Herby's going. to throw in a hundred,000. This would be. a $1.2 million kick. 600,000 to charity. 600,000 TO YOU. LAST OPPORTUNITY. I. DON'T WANT TO HEAR A THING FROM YOU. TEXANS. They're barefooted. Hey. Hey, real quick. Conor.

>> Texas. >> TEXAS. >> CONOR. >> OKAY, LET'S GO. They could have said you. sucked. I'm happy they didn't do that. >> You got this, >> CONNOR. FOR $1.2 MILLION, 600,000 to. charity, 600,000 to your future. All you. got to do is make one 33 yd field goal. >> Holy. >> Yeah. Yeah. Down the pipe. COME ON. DOWN.

Green Bay Packers. >> You. stop. Damn it. >> Your friend, tell a friend something.

nice could change their life. >> Hello, beautiful people. and welcome. back to our humble abode. The draft. kings thunderdome on this Wednesday, September 16, 2026, hour two of the. sports program begins now. >> FOOTBALL IS THE ABSOLUTE greatest and. we're so incredibly lucky that we get a. chance to chat about it. It's not just. me. No, the talks table is here back. looking regular at Boston Conor and at. Tai Schmidt. Con man, not a bad first.

hour there on the program. I feel like. we should gas ourselves up a little bit. >> Yeah, no doubt about it. JJ Watt's. always awesome. W's fantastic. And we. were just talking about it too. for the. sit from Debbie. First of all, letting. me know Lioness has a new season out. That's great. But also just learning. more so about the teams and the, you. know, Bears versus Panthers. That was. kind of the game of the week. So seeing. more of that is great. It's always nice. to tell Dan Orlovski like, "Hey, shut. up.". >> Well, you it wasn't just us saying it. Chris Bad Dog Russo was also here. Dan. Olowski responded to the tweet from.

Chris Mad Dog Russo. He said, "Feels. like there are some compliments in there. from Mad Dog." Did Did you hear any of. that from Mad Dog? Did you get a chance. to listen back? You obviously weren't in. here at the time. >> No, he basically said that Dan Olowski. existed, you know. I don't. >> What did that sound like? Do you. remember what it sounded like coming out. of Mad Dog's voice? >> Yeah, I think he initially said, you. know, Dan Olowski was a good. quarterback. Well, I shouldn't say he. was a good quarterback. He he was a. quarterback. >> He did backpedal a little bit. He looked. like a DB almost. >> Almost. Uh so, you know, just saying. that he was a quarterback, I don't know.

if that's a compliment. I don't. And. then he also called him a cheapkate, too, which I know Dano doesn't. necessarily love. >> Yeah. Here's Dano's response to it all. I actually think there's a compliment or. two in here. It's like, nope, you're. wrong. I I don't think there was, but we. do love Dano. >> Yeah, absolutely. >> And Dano is Dano. Always will be Dano. And we got to understand that. And. that's why we love. >> Dano. How about him with his notebook? >> It said week one at the front of that. >> Yep. >> So, he's going to toss that out and he's. going to week two. That notebook would. be full by week three. Maybe five five.

subject. >> I think he's. >> I think it's one per week. >> It said week one across the front of it. as if he was quarterback for an actual. game coming up. Just taking all his. notes. He was flipping through. He he. flipped what eight 10 pages that one. time. Every one of them had something on. there. >> Rising tape. >> Yeah, he certainly does. Not all of them. obviously by. >> a couple games. >> Yeah, I wasn't able to watch. Sorry, I. didn't see the Titans. Yeah. Sorry, I'm. not looking at that one. I don't know. what to tell you guys. I saw some low. lights. I guess they're they're not. good. I'll get to that by the end of the.

week. He's never watched. >> He has never watched. Why would you? >> He might not see the Tennessee Titans. one time this year. Let's go to nine NFL. veterary Jay Butler. You know, we did. the Shite Division yesterday that got. actually pretty good response, pretty. glowing reviews. Might have to continue. that thing. Uh any of these teams in. here you see uh prone to make a run out. of it. For instance, maybe the. Indianapolis Colts this weekend against. Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night. Football week two in Arrowhead. there's. a chance, you know, that the Chiefs uh. maybe uh fall back after what they just.

did. Kenneth Walker runs wild. Obviously, Derrick Henry did that this. past weekend. Actually kind of impressed. and pumped that no Baltimore Raven won. the AFC offensive player of the week. >> Three of them could have. >> Lamar could have, Dererick Henry, and. Zay Flowers could have. Are we able to. make a big jump week one to week two? Not just the Colts. Let's talk about the. entire Shite division or all these. teams. Are these teams going to make a. big jump between week one and week two? That's always like the cliche thing that. is set out there. >> Yeah. Looking at this shite division for. me, uh, you look at teams that you.

expect to make a run. I would start from. the bottom going up. You obviously. expect the Los Angeles Rams to get their. [ __ ] together. Maybe they were just the. sleepy Rams. Maybe it was a terrible. plan to call 24 hours before the game. down in Australia. >> What do. they take a little snooze? >> Oh, wait. Are those the uniforms they're. wearing on Monday? Oh, no chance. You. know, >> I don't know. Weren't those uniforms. they were wearing when you were at that. Chiefs Rams blowout or or shootout.

>> and Monday night football game way back. Don't. >> they look exactly like this? >> I don't know. But they didn't have. Stafford IQ. I think. >> that is a dirty graphic. So, we would. assume that Dirty would have it. accurate. And I don't think we need to. be saying Savannah Bananas with the Los. Angeles Rams. >> I don't know. >> Cuz yes, they are a spectacle and they. are a show, >> but the Savannah Bananas wouldn't have. gone down to Australia and laid an egg. Good point. >> They they would not have done that. Jesse Cole is not going to have the. Savannah Bananas down under not having. their best game. But there is a chance.

that they grossly miscalculated the. travel and they just did not show up. Miles Garrett potentially on a bum knee, wasn't able to be an impact. He goes on. IR with the surgery. But the Los Angeles. Rams, we assume, >> now granted, the Giants are a ground and. pound football team. Dallas Cowboys had. two drives in the second half, scored on. both of them, didn't matter because the. Giants just kept the ball away from. them. I guess there's a chance the Rams. could come back to life, but there also. is a chance the Giants are for real, D. >> Yeah, they look like a a very good. football team, a physical football team. Mike Tomlin spoke after the game and he.

said, "I've been watching that team or. that game plan, that game script for 20. years with John Harbaugh." And that's. what everybody expected him to build. Jackson Dart I thought looked great. Now, kind of like same thing Dan was. saying, a lot of his great was the. Cowboys defense also looking absolute. shite, but I thought he looked very. good. I thought he looked very. comfortable. I thought Naggie did a. great job with him week one. Greg Roman. designing the run game. Obviously, they're going to be a physical bunch. with Patrick Ricard and Big Scat back. there. So, if Jackson Dart can stay. upright and continue going through his. reads and being comfortable making those.

throws, I think they can be great, especially with the defense on the flip. side. the pressure that they put on on. the front, they're going to help those. guys on the back end continue to get. better. Um, so that should be a good. game, but I do expect the Rams to bounce. back. I obviously you have a great. coach, Sean McVey, you got a reigning. MVP with Matt Stafford and we may see 99. back on the field for the first time in. a long time for that defense, which will. give him a joke of energy. So, I expect. the Rams to back back Colts as well. Now, the Titans and the Browns, you. know, you know, >> a lot of people are putting the Colts.

just right in there with the Titans. >> No, I won't do that. I won't do that. arrowhead. >> No, but I'm saying people are saying. that like not us cuz we're here in. Indianapolis and I'm a season ticket. holder. Uh but being that we did get to. watch them. >> There's a lot of people saying they're a. little bit worried about the entire. culture of maybe the Indianapolis Colts. and not being able to get back on the. horse, but it was concerning. >> You do get embarrassed. Yeah, >> that was kind of an embarrassing loss. A. lot of veteran guys on that team, a lot. of very good football players on that. team. I assume they will bounce back. Having to go to Arrowhead with this.

brand new mentality that they had a few. years back is a tough task. >> We have played the Chiefs well though. every time we match regardless of what. their record is. Even when they were on. that that dynastic run, we've kind of. always played this team well. Um and I. think you know Patrick Mahomes, he's. coming to this season with a huge chip. on his shoulder, too. >> I believe in Danny Dimes. >> Me, too. Absolutely. >> I believe in Danny Dimes. He got unlucky. early with that turnover. Boom. kind of. deflects and then a pick happens and. then defense can't get a stop for the. life of him, you know, and you just got.

to sit there and just watch Lamar. Jackson. >> saunter around. >> Maestro. >> just sauntering around. He's got his. towel in the back. >> Okay, I I do like the towel in the back. cuz it looks cool, but him like using. his towel in the back while he's walking. around just is like just so awesome. That's how we do it. Right into the. right into the thing. Boom. Okay, here. we go. Right up to the This is week one. Okay, we're supposed to be learning some. stuff. Right up to the thing. We got a.

motion with this guy. Then I'm throwing. the tight end out there. Then the. running back's going out the other side. Hi, he by Zay Flowers touchdown. It's. like, >> wow. You're not supposed to be this. smooth, this on time, this comfortable. week one with a brand new offense like. Declan Doyle has for him. But I think. Lamar's investment all off seasonason, I. think Lamar knew what was possible with. Declan Doyle. And I think Lamar was. excited for it. And I'd assume Declan. Doyle, hey, first time uh play caller, guess what you got? Oh, you got a Madd. Madden video game player as your.

quarterback. This guy can throw the ball. better. 99 throwing and then running. Best ever do it. So, good luck out. there. And oh yeah, he is a football IQ. genius. Savant, he's going to be able to. figure it out for you. It's like what a. dream for Declan Doyle to come in and. they executed as if the Colts weren't. even on the field. >> Yeah. Flawlessly. And that that's what. you know that never gets he never gets. the right amount of credit for that for. what he does between the ears and his. passing. I think after this game he. became the all-time NFL leader with. passer rating at like 102.4 or some [ __ ].

like that. But he's he's dealt with he's. learned under a bunch of different. coordinators and he's won mult he's won. MVP under Greg Roman system. He won an. MVP in Todd Monin system and now he's. with Declan Doyle and it started great. That was your biggest takeaway Pat was. all the pre-nap the motions the shifts. and all the things that you're doing. moving a defense especially a Louis and. a Romo defense who has a bunch of. adjustments and they want to see things. and have different things. So once you. move a guy or shift a guy you got to. change you got to communicate and he was. just in total control. This is my first. time really watching him. You know, he's.

been in the league forever, but boots on. the ground and we talked about in this. week like it's like, "Oh, should we get. to watch Lamar like we get this. experience?" And it and it was an. experience like, "Okay, this guy's just. better at football than everybody else.". >> Yeah. And it was obvious. Yeah. I mean, it was like very evident that that guy. was the best football player that maybe. has ever played on that. No, Payton. Okay, let's not get crazy. I don't know. if Payton obviously goat rushmore. Shout. out to Eli and Payton last night, by the. way. Had some magical moments. But just.

Lamar Jackson just doing Lamar [ __ ] and. then Zay doing Zay stuff and him on the. sideline, no helmet, no gloves, and you. look up at stats, he's already had 150. yards. Like, we got two quarters left. What? This guy's not playing the whole. half. If he could have 300 yards, and. then you look at Derk Henry, Hall of. Famer. Oh yeah, he had a career day as. well. Ran himself in the record book. It's like, wow. I guess we were lucky to. be here. But it didn't feel like that in. real time. Felt like we were on the. complete opposite end of that. We still. don't know what this Ravens team is. going to be. We don't know what any of. these teams are going to be. Hopefully.

the Colts are able to bounce back. >> Well, yeah. And who knows? It's just. week one. But I think if you are a Colts. fan, like I think there is a chance that. the Ravens are going to do this to a lot. of people. Like we're probably not too. far away. You know, Declan Doyle was the. OC in Chicago next year. Like that's the. next thing is like, you know, the the. cup of coffee with Shawn McVey. Like. anyone who's taken a piss next to Ben. Johnson or been involved with his. offense at all is going to get. opportunities to be an offensive. coordinator. and then head coach, etc., etc. I mean, that like, you know, pretty. good performance for him to start and.

obviously, you know, when you have Lamar. and Derrick Henry and Ze Flowers doing. what they what they're doing, like that. that certainly helps. But I think there. is a chance they do that to a lot of. teams. >> Yeah, I I hope you know that's that's. what Colts fans are certainly hoping and. uh I would like to see this Colts team. get back to what they were. Sunday Night. Football in Kansas City, that is a. incredible environment. Felt like a. college environment. So, I I enjoy the. hell out of that. Can't wait to watch. joining us also every single week like. he has for the past few years. Ladies. and gentlemen, let's go in the trenches. with a 12-year NFL Super Bowl champion.

center. Ladies and gentlemen, AQ Shipp. Each week, you know, we ask you, uh, what's your big takeaway from the. weekend that maybe hasn't been chatted. about? Obviously, you normally stay with. the Fatsos, the big guys in the. trenches. For you though, what was the. takeaway week one with this offensive. explosion and potential full buy into. the run game by a leaguewide? >> Obviously, a lot of points. The run. games were fantastic, but the biggest. takeaway that I took away is I the big. narrative over the years, and I've been. very heavy on this, is that rookie. offensive linemen can't come in and play.

right away. We had six rookie offensive. linemen make impacts immediately. Let's. start with the Ravens and Wenger Yawani, the Penn State product. Look who he's. going against, Pat. It's the. Indianapolis Colts and DeForest Buckner, the $und00 million man. Let's watch him. move Deforest out of the way. Twerk him. outside. Derrick Henry hits it. >> I didn't see any twerkring either of the. race. >> A little torque. A little torque. That's. torque. Yeah. Pittsburgh accent. >> No, you said torque. I thought you were. saying torque like booty on him cuz I I. didn't see him put any booty on him, but. I did see him putting.

>> two hands and torque his ass out. >> Torque. So he torque his ass. >> Torque. Torque his ass. >> 54 gave him a little love, too. A little. >> that. And by the way, the 54. >> Yep. >> Uh that's his first start. So good thing. good things are coming for the Colts. defense. That's his first start ever in. his NFL career. We had a linebacker that. had 42 snaps that didn't record a single. stat. So, I was just trying to figure. out which one he was on that particular. one. We need him to dive on a pile next. week. >> He's all over the field, though. >> Yeah. Yeah. But nowhere near the ball. and we need you near the ball. >> Okay. Who else? Uh, AQ spotlight some of.

these YOUNG GUYS. THIS GUY'S HE IS TRACK. PRACTICE OUT THERE. >> How do you do that in linebacker? Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is. a linebacker that could be able to give. us an answer live from Anatican, Ohio as. we continue these rookies playing like. vets from the offensive line. Takeway. with AQ Shibli. Uh, ladies and. gentlemen, college football national. champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup. winner, AJ Hawk, ladies and gentle zero. Welcome, AJ. Great to see you. Look. fantastic. How what is this dude doing? Cardio like how is he trying to run. away? >> You got to get a J. You're right. You. got to get a J O at some point. You got. to get some kind of assist or anything.

Who knows how they even they grade give. you pressures for all kind of situations. now, too. So, you would think at some. point you get there. >> Okay. Cuz. >> Well, hold on. Hold on now. According to. who? >> PF. We get the understanding PFF is for. sale. We don't know this the the current. PFF and what they're going off of. >> Just so you know, this was actually. released uh the TJ Watt pick six was a. negative play for TJ Watt according to. >> PB. Okay, so we won't talk about this even. though I think it is. >> easier to tell if somebody did anything.

in a game in 42 snaps as opposed to what. their actual job was versus getting a. pick six takes on a play and being an. [ __ ] and saying we're smarter than. you are about football. That whole thing. is a little bit different, but you have. to try not to be in the middle of. something at lineback. Like I was a. punter kicker. If there was a pile near. me, I'm falling into it just and first. of all, I don't want to get my knees. hurt, but also maybe a half tackle. Yes. Maybe I pick up a little half tackle. Aren't you guys taught that as like kids. at the linebacker position? And you guys. normally have.

>> 11 men to the ball. 11 guys at the ball. every single play. That's the goal. >> Well, it didn't happen. So, we need to. change that. Okay. We need to change. that. But it could have also been. because Lamar was actually just moving. him with every single motion. They did. six motions it felt like before every. single snap. All right, guys. So, we. didn't know. >> You should be able to run around 42. players with a blindfold on and run. >> Okay, so this is like uh like hitting. water out of a boat. >> Yes. >> Okay. At linebacker, if he was safety. corner, you know, just kind of dropping.

out of things, linebacker's job is to be. in the stuff. >> Yeah. >> I don't want to put. >> your face in there. They ran the ball a. lot too. >> Yeah, they did. >> for a lot of yards. >> You know, it's not like they threw it 70. times. Like they they ran the ball a. lot. >> So, we got a big jump from week one to. week two. But also, they had some great. blocking. We just saw AJ, welcome to the. program. We're in the middle of some. rookies are playing like vets. This is. big a takeaway from the fat boys. Remember, there was a lot being said. about the offensive lineman being like. an epidemic. These young guys can't.

block anymore. AQ said vastly different. things about this week one. >> Absolutely. Let's head up to New York. the New York Giants and one of their. first round picks in [ __ ] Maui Noah, my. favorite offensive lineman for the. draft. >> It's CC Marinara. >> Well, I call him Yeah, exactly. You. heard Balder yesterday called him. Marinara. That's right. But look at look. at the hand placement. Look at him run. his feet and putting dudes on the. ground, finishing on top. That's a. rookie offensive lineman getting his. first start in prime time football. Gets. underneath the shade, gets his hand. placement, runs his feet, buries him on.

top. >> Okay, so we like the rookies getting a. little dirty. How do you think they're. having success as we move to the next. rook that was playing like a vet? >> I think if as I go down this list, 44. college starts, 42 college starts. The. next guy we're going to talk about, 54. college starts, team captain, Blake. Miller, again, one of my favorite. linemen in the draft, gets his first. start at right tack. We'll get watch him. pull around. Look at that big moose haul. around the corner, kick him out, and get. a big run from Gibbs. >> Okay, so you're saying a lot of football. being played, also maybe a little bit. more maturity cuz they're uh sticking.

around longer. NIL has obviously done. some things to the college game, the. college experience. We've seen a lot of. quarterbacks with a lot of reps do well. whenever they get in. Sounds like what. you're saying, even though there has. been a lack of uh um development at the. offensive line position over like the. last 10 years, maybe that's changing. slowly as opportunity is being seen. >> Well, I think as the run game started to. increase in the NFL a couple years ago. that we saw the the yards per carry. start to go up, all of that stuff. It. started to creep back into the college. game. you started to see a lot more. running game centric offenses. And I.

think when you look at that at 5 years. ago, let's say, these guys were never in. a three-point stance. All they were. asked to do is run the RPO scheme. I. think we've gotten a little bit away. from that. We've gotten more into the. run game and more of a traditional. traditional uh offense that you see in. the NFL. There is still that RPO. element, but they are having to put. their hand in the dirt and run. >> So, it's almost like the best version. We got an RPO. It's Jason Kelsey was so. good, right? cuz he could pull and move%. as a center, but he also he could also. get physical. It's almost like the RPO. with the evolution of the run game.

We're we're potentially creating hybrids. right now at the offensive line. position. Is that what you're. potentially seeing here early? >> 100%. And it matches up with the. quarterbacks. We're starting to see. you're starting to see Jackson Dart. being able to move and run and get. outside the pocket more like Lamar. Jackson. Obviously, it comes from the. Baltimore world, but that's the new. quarterback, Caleb Williams. You can't. just have these statues anymore. Everybody has to be able to move, even. if it's just a little bit. You got to be. able to escape and get out. You know, a. lot of people call this younger. generation soft, you know, from our. generation. I think there maybe there. was a generation that was softer. Then I. think there's that next group.

>> Sure. >> They might be. we might have some real. >> couple junkyard dove. >> Yeah. This generation that is kind of. coming through right now feels like. there there's even a group of them that. like hate phones. Like they're they're. like an actual throwback group, I think, because they saw what happened to the. older group of them. And I think the. offensive line position is a good. indicator on where we are as a society. I I think there's a chance that we could. talk about that, especially if it's. taking place. How many rookies did you. say were playing like vets? >> Six offensive linemen. We had the. Texans, we got the Jaguars, we got the.

Chiefs. Move forward. Keyn Rutled, one. of my favorite linemen in this draft. Reminds me of Ryan Jensen. Ed Oliver. buries him. Then you get the Jaguars. Emanuel Pregnon, right? He's a big. monster. Third round pick. Fell to the. third. Not sure why. Look at him moving. people. Just moving people off the ball. And then we all heard about Khalil. Benson from the Chiefs, right? This is a. try out player going out against Bonito, locking him up, giving Patrick Mahomes a. great pocket to throw from. >> the Khalil Benson thing. Last question. for me and Baldi gave us an answer. yesterday about how, you know, there's a. lot of headlines with that Indiana team.

People can't actually slip through the. cracks. I think he had an injured foot, too. I saw some people online saying he. had an injured foot, so he wasn't. putting maybe the best film out there. Nonetheless, he's 66, 330, can play. right tackle, right guard, and now he's. starting at left tackle. How does he. fall through the tracks and uh uh the. and become a triyout player? >> Well, you don't want to get me going on. uh the people upstairs and the way and. what metrics they look at obviously, but. this guy 49 college starts on a national. championship team. You think he can play. football? Watch the tape. >> Yeah. Why? Why does that happen though? Actually, what do you think? Because I.

know you had short arms, which. >> So, that's one metric. Another one is, oh well, he's a little stiff, so we. don't know if he can do it. Or, oh, he. can't pull and get out in space, so he. doesn't fit this system. There's always. one little thing, but at the end of the. day, what I always say, turn on the. tape. Can he play football? You can't. sit there and just pick apart guys at. the end of the day. If you look at the. film and their football's pretty good, they're probably going to be pretty good. at no matter what level you put them at. >> Eight, nine o'clock, right? 1000 p.m. at. night. >> Mhm. >> That's the end of the day. >> Yep. >> You sit down, you watch the. >> And you know what I do? >> What's that? >> I stew over all of those people.

>> Oh yeah, me too. >> That said, oh, his arms are a little. short. Oh, he can't run a little faster. Or he's an inch too short. Willie Lamin, we've all talked about him. My 510, 5'11. offensive line. He might get a start. this week. Wow. >> That's what he does. He stews over it. Goes and grabs the Jurgens. >> Yep. That's right. >> Just absolutely pummel. >> Yep. >> You know, and then moves on to the next. day. >> You were talking about Joe Brady and. lotion. I was thinking of Yeah. Yeah. You get it. >> Yeah. You're Yeah. You're thinking Yeah. A little uh. >> Yeah. He needs a little slickness down.

there. >> Yeah. >> Rubbing that thing. Roll. >> Dungeons. That's the next generation, boys. >> Congrats, boys. >> Congrats, boys. We appreciate what. you're doing for Paul. Joining us now, ladies and gentlemen, is a man who we. also appreciate for what he's doing for. ball. Teammate of mine on Monday Night. Countdown. Super Bowl champion. Ladies. and gentlemen, his brother's on Football. Night in America. He's on Monday Night. Countdown. I'd say job well done. Long. NFL careers for both of them. Ladies and. gentlemen, Jason McCoy. >> What's up, fellas? What's happening? >> Hey, I'm still trying to figure out what.

you meant by I just by looking at me. would be a sweater. And you said I. noted. Can you just clarify a little bit. more because I don't think I got a full. answer there on Monday Night Countdown. >> All I was saying is some of us are a. little bit more cooler than others. Like. there's just a a naturalness for me that. we're out there in the sun. It's. blazing. There's nothing you can do. about it. You guys all had a towel and. I'm just chilling. Like there's just. something about that. I don't know how. you phrase it. I don't know which what. is the word for it exactly, but I phrase.

it as I'm just always cooler than the. other side of the pillow. >> Okay. Respect. >> Well said. >> Yeah. I What do you mean? >> I was just supposed to say you're always. like, "Hey, why you got a hoodie on? You're out here. It's hot. It's fl You. know, it's different.". >> Talk to a debut. >> It's different. >> What are you guys talking about? What? Who? Who's talking to who? And who's. them? What do you mean by that? >> You guys are very athletic. >> You said talk to Yeah. What are we. talking about? >> Athletic build, AJ. Athletic build. >> Oh. >> Oh man. >> Thin skin. >> I still don't know if I got I still. don't. But I think I know what you guys.

are saying. I think I understand what. you guys are saying. >> I sweat a lot. I'm a sweater. >> Me too. Thank you. Sweats a lot too, right? >> Yeah. Oh, yeah. Big time. >> How about you guys? You guys sweat a. lot? >> Yeah. >> Wow, that's crazy. Let's go to the back. Uh, Foxy Bruce, >> my armpits are sweating right now, huh? >> Hey, uh, Dirty Dirty. You dirty dirty. dirty. >> All right. All right, let's move along. >> I thought that's what you meant. I'm. happy we got there. Okay, good. That. would have been an interesting start to. our Monday night countdown year if. >> Hey, you're awesome on there, dude. I I.

think you need to know that. Obviously, you've been on our show a couple times. before. We're all big fans. Listening to. you break down tape and do your thing. and also interact with everybody was. cool. I can't wait to do the season with. you. Now, on that note, let's go back to. Monday Night Football. Chiefs and. Broncos, what the Chiefs did and I don't. know if you heard, but Trav told Jason. Kelsey, also awesome to be a part of in. the Monday Night Countdown in the New. Heights podcast. Since Eric Beney's been. back, they've been talking about running. through people's faces every single day. Every single day. Every single day. They. set that tone early and obviously. Kenneth Walker feels like the perfect. pickup. Are you all the way in on the.

Chiefs or do you think maybe had their. best night first night and we shall see. how it goes? >> There's just no way you can watch that. game Monday night and not be all in on. the Chiefs. And the reason I'm saying. that is Patrick Mahomes wasn't even. close to what he's going to be like. midway through the season and even at. the very end of the season. I was saying. to somebody, we're sitting in that. trailer throughout the course of the. first half and we're watching the game. Mahomes only threw four passes that went. beyond 10 yards in the entire game. Only.

four attempts. None of them were. completions and they dominated the. Broncos. So, they were doing this. running the football down their throats. without an explosive pass game. Nothing. to back the defense up. And they still. were doing this. It was disappointing. just to watch how bad the Broncos. tackled, but in order to do that, it was. how well Kenneth Walker was running. The. amount of guys that he made miss in a. phone booth and kept his feet going was. very impressive, man. Uh just where. they're at, Momes coming back. We were.

there when he ran out of the tunnel. It. was unbelievable the way the crowd. erupted. And to see him running for a. touchdown and just having 15 back on the. field, there's no way you can bet. against the Chiefs right now. >> Yeah. And Kenneth Walker whenever he. came out of the tunnel, that was a cool. little welcome to Kansas City moment for. him, I would assume. And he certainly. paid them back as their bellcow. Now, it. wasn't just the Chiefs that were running. the rock all over the place. Felt like. there was a lot of 13 personnel, a lot. of run. And Jay Mack, as we all know in. the football world, when he can run the.

ball well, what does that do to those. linebackers? What does that do? Suck. That sucks THEM UP, J. YEAH. IT GETS. THEM SUCKED UP, YOU KNOW, CUZ THEY THEY. THEY JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET DOWN in. there, you know? They're getting sucked. up. Now, on that note, Connor has a. question for you. >> Yeah, Jason. And it feels like across. the board, like Pat just mentioned, offenses were just ahead of defenses and. it feels like we're not accustomed to. that early on in the season. Do you see. defenses catching up? Do you think it's. one of those things where over the next. few weeks, maybe by like week six, week.

seven, there's a chance that defenses. kind of lock it down, figure out some of. these teams, or do you think running the. football and with how good quarterbacks. are now, this might just be an offensive. year and there's a chance that defenses. are going to be in for a long day with. some of these teams? We damn sure better. catch up from a defensive standpoint. I. mean, the greatest Super Bowl of all. time was a 13-3 game that happened a few. years ago. Like, that's exciting. football when you can see the chess. match going on between the offensive. coordinator and the defensive. coordinator. It was an embarrassment the.

way defenses played in week one. And it. wasn't just bad defenses. Houston played. bad. Denver played bad. The Rams. struggled in Australia. So, they have to. bounce back. The only excuse I'm going. to give is maybe there was so many new I. think it was 21 new offensive play. callers in the NFL this year. So I'll. give an excuse for week one for us guys. on defense like we need to prepare. We. need all the information we possibly can. gather for these now new offensive. coordinator. A lot of firsttime play.

callers. You don't really know. You're. chasing ghosts all off seasonason. So. week one that was the reason they had. the upper hand. And then on top of that. like we don't play in the preseason on. defense. So, we're not really tackling. as well as we're going to get as the. weeks go on. So, man, defenses have to. catch up. I can't keep watching football. where there's 60 points in the game and. guys are just doing dances in the end. zone. >> Yeah, not only just dances in the end. zone. 28 missed tackles for the Broncos, missed tackles across the board. And. Hembo stat says 166 plays were ran with.

three tight ends on the field in week. one. That's the most in any week in. recorded history. So when you talk about. big athletic bodies trying to move, maybe a little bit smaller bodies on. defens's side, is the offense once again. regaining an advantage over the size of. human beings on either side of the ball? We shall see. If the defense does catch. up though, that 13-3 game, I think, is. going to be much more common than what. we saw this past weekend. >> I ain't trying to see that [ __ ]. >> That's what's about to happen. >> I got points.

>> Yeah, me either. >> They got. >> to hell with that. J Matt points. >> 13. I mean, that's going to be a lot of. I mean, explosive runs could happen, but. we're expecting the defense to start. tackling better, right? >> I wonder if that doesn't even count all. the 60 lineman stuff, >> right? Like I don't I don't know if. that's even included in that 13 person. >> Jets had five tight ends on the field. for one of their plays. >> Hey, Frank Reich kind of in his bag. actually. Go ahead, Ty. >> Yeah, Jason, I think it was maybe on Get. Up this morning where you said like, "Hey, this isn't a fluke." Like the the. Jets might be for real this year. I.

think you think that they've improved. quite a bit. Um, what what is it about. that game? Because obviously a lot of. people are saying that the Titans might. be hammered dog [ __ ] and that could be a. big reason, but uh what did you notice. from the Jets tape and also the changes. that maybe Aaron Glenn has had since uh. being a first year head coach last year? >> Well, first of all, leave my Titans. alone. Like, it's a bad outing, but. don't refer to us like that, right? We're going to we're going to get. better. It's a work in progress. Um, what I like from the Jets was when you.

start to build in the offseason and. you're starting to form an identity, what does it look like week one? And to. me, they ran the football to Bree Hall, to Brilen Allen. They continue to do. that. Gino Smith made a few big plays. down the field. The rest of it was. checkdowns and they played good defense. They went out and they brought over. veterans. The first play of the game, the Titans run the ball and Demario. Davis is flying downhill, smacks. somebody and gets up screaming. To me, that's who the Jets want to be this.

year. And albeit the Titans struggled. The Titans, the first kickoff of the. game, the Titans kicked the damn ball. out of bounds. That That's how it. started. >> I didn't know that. Hold on, Jay. I. didn't know that. It's worse than we. thought. That's worse than we could have. imagined. >> Specialist. >> Whoa. >> What are we doing? >> Holy [ __ ] No, no, no. Let's not blame. the Let's blame the Titans. Let's not. blame the kicker. >> You think You think You think Bones told. him to kick the ball out of bounds? I. think Salah maybe didn't do enough. motivating of that guy. I'll tell you. that 53 and a third yard wide. That's.

hard to miss. >> Yeah. >> Now granted, I have kicked one out of. bounds before. We all have obviously hit. a fat. Can't be hitting the opening. kickoff of the season out of b. >> out of bounds. Stand by yourself. >> That's how you start. >> That might be crazy. >> Three guys on the field during a. touchdown. Two guys running off the. field as the Jets are running in the end. zone. >> Good start. I like the idea though. >> Yeah, he's trying to do the. >> He's trying to do the tornado hurricane.

ball that lands in the landing zone. instead. 15 There's still They haven't. started the season yet. There's still 15. minutes on that clock right there. They've already attempted they already. had a penalty. That's not good. Jesus. Christ. Yeah, we are going to talk about. your Titans. Colts aren't any better. I. will say we paid a lot more money and we. have a lot more continuity and we look. just as as but the Titans looked a lot. worse than I think any of us thought it. was going to look like. Now, a team that. looked a lot better than I think a lot. of us thought, but their fan base. thought was certainly going to take. place. Go ahead, J. >> Absolutely. And JBback, we're not.

talking about the 0 and2 Ruckers. football team. GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND. >> OH, USC. Definitely not talking about. those guys. But the New York Football. Giants, you're just talking about the. Jets. Obviously, a brand new operation. with the Giants offensively. Jackson. Dart looked great. Dallas looked. terrible. Even defensively, the Giants. look good as well. What's your thoughts. on Jackson Dart and this uh New York. Giants? Man, you get excited about them. Me and my guy Peter Schrager, we were at. training camp this summer and we sat. down with Pat Ricard after practice and. Pat Ricard said, we said, "Why did you.

come become why did you come be a New. York Giant? What was it about John. Harbaugh?" He said, "Harbaugh called him. and said, I'm trying to build a bully in. the NFC East." That was bully ball on. Sunday night. They punked the Cowboys. And this was a Cowboys team that all we. talked about was new coordinator. Christian Parker, all the new guys that. they added. Caleb DS is going to be. rookie of the year and all of these. other things and they just ran the ball. right at them. To me, watching that. game, what was fascinating offensively. for them, they started the season, I was.

like, "What is this offense going to. look like?" They have Matt Naggie, who's. the offensive coordinator with the. Kansas City Chiefs, Greg Roman, who was. the offensive coordinator a year ago. with the Chargers, Brian Callahan, who's. the head coach with the Titans and. called the Blaze. You have all three of. these guys on one staff. Like, how the. hell is this offense going to come. together? And Sunday night it looked. awesome. Jackson Dart throwing the ball. from the pocket over the middle, making. those throws, but also getting in the. gun, running the football, getting out. of bounds, not taking a big hit. It was. creative, but it also was just directly.

at you. Isaiah likely looked like he. could be the best tight end in the NFL. just if he plays the Cowboys everywhere. >> Likely uh John Harbaugh allegedly one of. his first calls was to Isaiah likely. whenever he went up to the New York. Giants said, "We need this guy. We're. going to operate and use him in the same. way that any other weapon at the tight. end position is utilized. You are by far. our number one as opposed to Mark. Andrews, Zay Flowers, Derrick Henry, Lamar Jackson. You have an opportunity. here to be our guy and he showed up in a. huge way in prime time. And remember, it.

was always like likely 80. The tweets. were like, "How many touchdowns is this. guy going to score tonight?" Likely 80. He always had those moments. Now it. feels like it's about to be sustained. focal point of the offense. And you. mentioned the offensive coordinators. Who do they have over there? What do. they have going on? >> They got Callahan, they got Roman, and. they got Naggie. Those are three former. head coaches, all good offensive minds, except for Roman. Tell me how he's good. offensive mind, not a head coach. Could. you tell me how you think those three. kind of fit together and why they help. each other? >> The reason it works so well is because. Greg Roman is a run game guru. He's and.

he's worked with Patrick Ricard. He. understands that that's who he is. It's. he likes fullbacks. He likes tight ends. So cool. Now you marry that up. Now you. get the other two and you can marry that. up with the pass game. I think what has. always made Greg Roman great is his run. game. But what has been his biggest. struggle is it never married up with the. pass game. Think to whenever he was with. Lamar Jackson, they didn't have a pass a. pass game that married up with the run. game. Now you get these other two guys. that say, "Okay, what do you want to do. formations? What do you want to do with. your all your formations in the run. game?" Okay, cool. Now we can now we can. make those marry up and attach them to.

the pass game just like you watch. Shanahan and McVey do cuz everything. marries up. Everything looks the same. what is going to be an outside zone, also as the play action, also as a. screen, also as a deep shot. >> Now, they they do have photos of those. couple of those guys up in the booth and. they're calling them the goof troop. I. think that's what they're calling them. >> Disgusting brothers. >> Yeah, that's what they said. The. disgusting brothers, which I'll tell. you, I don't know if anybody's going to. look good in the middle of the game. whenever they're completely locked in up. there. But can they can this will they. all get along, >> you know?

>> Yeah, absolutely. and and Callahan's dad. is arguably the greatest offensive line. coach that's ever been in this game. So, he has an offensive line background from. that world growing up in that world. You. add him in the mix, he's an offensive. mind, obviously. You mix him with the. other two. As long as those three can. coexist, I mean, this could be special. >> Okay. And John Harbaugh making great. decisions as soon as you get there. Cam. Scataboo being healthy and doing a back. flip on a pile on. No, he knew exactly. where he was at. He's got a big brain. People know that about Cam Scaboo. >> Big head for sure. >> Huge head. Huge dumb. huge opportunity,

especially with Ricard running in front. of him and Jackson Dart being smart. The. thing I mentioned to J-Mack on Monday. Night Countdown is with the way they. played, it did feel like Jackson might. be able to survive until his era of not. having pain on his face cuz that's going. to disappear some. We we don't know what. kids probably we assume whenever when he. gets rid of the paint on his face. But. with this style of play, he's going to. be able to make it to there. We think we. think, you know, we didn't know if he. was going to. >> Yeah. I mean, and you gota you can't. take away his legs. That's that's a part.

of you got to have some desired run. game. And obviously when things do break. down in the past game, you want to use. those legs, but just take care of. yourself, you know, take those shots. Your best ability is availability, especially as a quarterback. So, I think. he'll continue to learn that. You talked. about all those coaches and all that. knowledge that he'll be hearing. And. then those weapon on weapons on the. outside neighbors, he's not even back to. fully himself once he gets continue to. come along. Then Isaiah likely, I think. we're just scratching the surface with. him. It was some two-minute clips. we. they were in 12 personnel and just had. them split out like a wide out and.

that's a a matchup nightmare with him. So, as long as they continue to get on. the same page, I was I was shocked at. how well he operated from the pocket. though and just like field throws like. that likely throw across the middle of. the field like the safety's coming down. He kind of put it on that back shoulder. that's like 10ear vet type stuff. So, um. it was obviously some blown coverages. but blown coverages don't matter if the. quarterback doesn't see him and take. advantage of them. Like people always. say a blown coverage blown coverage that. happens a lot and the quarterback just. doesn't see it. So, over him hitting. those throws, being comfortable, and. having a run game to lean on and. defensively being better at least week.

one. Uh, I mean, I'm all in on the. Giants right now. >> Yeah, they're fun to watch. And. obviously, three offense coordinators, I. guess, better than one. >> Now, speaking of one offense. coordinator, uh, one's a super genius. and he was a head coach and then he. heads out to Los Angeles and they look. like ass. A2 has a question for you, Jac. >> Yeah, Jason, I was I was calling the. game and I got to watch the Chargers. versus the Cardinals and I'll tell you. one thing that didn't look good was the. Chargers offense. Can McDaniel and. Herbert, can it work? >> That's a good question. >> I think so. You think about it for.

McDaniel, he was there with Tua in Miami. and he found a way to make that work. We. all know how talented Justin Herbert is. I also think the offense that McDaniel. brings over is very different than what. Justin Herbert is accustomed to running. The timing of it, the rhythm of it, getting the ball out of your hands. extremely quick. There's a lot of trust. that has to take place when you're. trying to get a guy in the NFL that's. had a ton of individual success. Albeit. it hasn't been from a team standpoint. and playoff wins, but for Justin.

Herbert, he's a guy that we know has the. talent to get it done. So, I would say. week one can lie to you. I don't want to. assume that it's going to be all bad. from an offensive standpoint. I was. surprised that they weren't able to get. the run game going as much. That was. something that I thought McDaniel did an. excellent job in Miami that regardless. how Tulu was playing whether he was. blowing it up where he led the league in. passing yards. I think that was in 2023. or a year ago where he absolutely. struggled, Devon Chan still had a.

fantastic season and got paid a lot of. that because of the scheme in which. McDaniel runs with Alec Engold over. there as a fullback. They brought in a. tight end and Kohler. So I expected that. at least to get going and be something. that they could lean on. regardless of. when what went down on the outside, but. they just struggle. And a ton of credit. to the Arizona Cardinals, a team that. we're like, they're going to be 32nd. They're going to be picking first. overall. Why the hell would you draft a. running back this high in the draft? They went out there one week one and. don't look up, but Jacobe Brassette is.

leading the NFL in passing yards. Jacobe, my guy. >> Yeah, Jacob's a beast. We saw him here. in Indie only getting paid like 17 uh. million as well. So, that's very Yeah, it's great for the roster. Mike Lafleur. We had him on the show yesterday. He's. psychopath, very evident, very clear. psycho, which is what you're looking for. at the head coaching position. And his. offense looked damn good. We have some. breaking news here. Jmack around the. NFL. Joey Porter Jr. is slated to be a. full participant today, which is.

obviously a positive sign to start this. particular week two. He had missed a lot. of time because he was holding out. trying to get a new deal. Season starts. Pittsburgh Steelers say we are not. negotiating during the season. Joey. Porter Jr. was asked before week one if. he thought he was going to play. He. said, "That's a question for the people. upstairs and for my agents. We thought. potentially never going to be seen as a. Steeler again. Now he's full. participant." What do you think this. means, JMack? And how do you feel about. how this situation has kind of all. unfolded rather quietly, I must say, from a national attention standpoint.

>> It has been quiet. This this one is. tough for me. I think Joey Porter is an. excellent quarterback in our league. The. challenge is where does he slot in when. you start to look at the top guys. Is he. a $30 million guy when you look at. Gonzalez and Witherspoon and McDuffy and. those type of guys? Because the fact. that Certan's not in that group yet. because he just hasn't got paid again. How do the Steelers figure out where he. goes? It drops from like 30 straight to. like 25. There isn't really anybody in. that 27 28 million range. So when you.

talk about trying to get a deal done. with him when you're looking at the. annual per year, where does he feel. comfortable? Does it have to be in that. $30 million range? Because as I look at. this from the outside end, I feel like. there might be a hard number that. they're just not able to settle on. And. now the question comes in, is he willing. to go out there and play without that. deal? Because they're a different team. with him, a different team with him on. the field. They brought in Jamal Dean, who's another tall, long, athletic. quarterback to go on the outside with.

him. you have those two guys out there. like you're going to feel really good. about playing manto man and playing. press up in guys faces. Every single one. of these clips he is mugged up on a guy. and harassing him. That's the type of. play that they'll get from both of those. guys when they're on the field. >> We don't need that clip there at the end. against Colts. Obviously, we should be. picking and choosing different ones if. that is uh certainly a possibility. But. Joey Porter Jr. here and the Pittsburgh. Steelers may be closer to rekindling and. having him on the field. Or maybe this. is a show to everybody else, hey, he is.

healthy, you know, if they're going to. try to trade if that is still the. conversation. Kind of pumped to see what. the Pittsburgh Steelers and Joey Porter. Jr. land on because they do a lot of. stuff that they haven't done for a long. time over recent years. They pay DK. Metaf 30 million a year. He never played. for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's a wide. receiver. That's very rare for the. Pittsburgh Steelers to do that. Obviously bringing in Aaron Rogers, very. rare move. negotiating during the season. though. They've come out and said, "We. haven't done it. We're never doing it. Don't even think about it." Joey Porter. Jr.'s like, "Well, I'm thinking about. it." So, we need to figure that one out.

We need to figure that one out. And. obviously, the Porter family in. Pittsburgh is held in high regards. He's. a great player. They're undefeated. They're going for it. And if your front. four can get there, TJ Watt just won AFC. defensive player of the week. He. obviously has a pick six and everything. else that he's got going on. Cam. Hayward's been playing out of his mind. Somehow he's gotten younger over the. last couple years. Herbig, I believe, and Highmith, they were on the field for. like 20 some plays. It's the most. they've ever been on the field together. because they're rotating. It's like. Steelers got something special. potentially brewing. Now, offensively, they're going to have to be a little bit.

better, but uh Joey Porter Jr. back. there certainly helps with it all. AJ. has a question about an AFC North team. that found its way onto our shite. division. Jac, >> yeah, unfortunately he's talking about. the Cleveland Browns. I just from you, I. know you spent some time there. Do do. Cleveland Browns fans have any hope for. this team? And I guess let's say 6, eight weeks from now. What does that. team look like? What does that offense. look like? >> And this is the shite division as we. stand right now, you can get promoted. out of here and relegated into here all. season long. Jmack, >> hey Pat, it's it's tough seeing that.

Super Bowlinning Colts team there where. they got to get to. So they got to they. got to find a way out of the shite. division. Um AJ, the the Browns were. rough like watching them. you you were. waiting just to make it was 31 to zero. like somehow you figure like they're. gonna make a play at some point and I. think Todd Mon said it after the game. though it wasn't just Deshaawn Watson. like that gets all the headlines and. Shador Sanders be they were bad on both. sides of the ball equally Liam Cohen and.

and Trevor Lawrence they went up and. down the field as they wanted to hard. for I don't know where the hope comes. for Cleveland Browns fans like you think. about the the last few years when Miles. Garrett was there and Jim Schwarz was. calling the defense. They were always. good on that side of the ball. They just. weren't good enough on offense. That was. just abysmal. And watching it and it. never got better. It wasn't until the. absolute end when the game was over when. I'm coaching my son's team and when you. just start subbing everybody in because.

it's a blowout, then they made a few. plays and actually got on the board. It. was it was it was rough. >> Yeah, it was uh certainly ugly and. nobody would have expected that from the. Cleveland Browns. No, >> you know, and uh the Monkeys boys. >> Yeah. Deshawn Watson came out and said. media expects me to throw 500 yards, five touchdowns every week. So they got. their own expectations, you know, so. everybody kind of eats [ __ ]. >> He said that. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. He said it today. He said, I think. the media has this expectation. I'm. supposed to throw for like 400 yards and. five touchdowns every week. Maybe. justund maybe one, you know, maybe maybe. just one of those things that that'll. kind of get going. But granted, that's.

his first start in over 600 uh days, you. know? And that's why like when it was. all happening, everything was happening. He was away for the game. He wanted to. trade and all that stuff. It's like, can. you be away at at the quarterback. position with the way he played, which. was very uh intuitive and also. incredibly athletic and all that. Can. you just miss years and years of. football and then just get dropped back. in there? I don't know. I think it would. take a very very special, especially. with the amount of money we know he's. getting paid. So, he can certainly get. comfortable on satin sheets and [ __ ].

like that. It's like I I don't know. I. don't know if that's ever going to be. found again, you know? I I don't know if. we're ever going to dig deep into into. that soul and find what he was, whatever. he was uh potential MVP, Ken with the. Houston Texans, but I'll tell you what. has said. We're going to find out. though. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, we are. We are certainly going to. find out. Last question uh from a team. that I think. >> you know absolutely decimated the small. cheese town. LET'S GO TO HAMMER DON. TIME. TONE has the last question for. you. Jac, as you get ready for big day. with Big Shakes. >> Oh, hell yeah.

>> Yeah. Jason, I think you were uh in New. England with for a year, I believe, with. Beo, who is now just calling. unbelievable defenses for the Minnesota. Vikings. What are your thoughts on that. matchup this weekend against Ben. Johnson, one of the best offensive minds. against one of the best defensive. coordinators uh in the NFL? >> That's the that's the matchup I'm. looking forward to most. You have a. defensive coordinator that blitz 80% of. the time in week one against Jordan. Love. 80% is insane. And I think what I. love most about it, and Debb you can. appreciate this, they're not even.

playing manto man behind. It's not like. he's just leaving guys on an island. They're still playing zone with eyes on. the quarterback. And you have that going. against Ben Johnson, who just put up 59. points and wants to lead the NFL and. scoring. A season ago, they opened up. and these two teams played against each. other. Flores barely blitz in that game. And I think it was fear of the unknown, not knowing what Ben Johnson and Caleb. Williams offense was going to look like. That second matchup, he sent the house. and it was a normal Flores blitzing.

style of game. I think they're going to. go after him. They're not going to allow. him to sit back or run around. They're. going to want pressure in his face and. force him to make quick decisions. Don't. give him all that time. Try to fool him. with disguise and all of the different. things. But his defense has been. unbelievable. It's unorthodox. like you. watching and you try to figure out the. rules of what they're doing and like. this doesn't make any sense and having. Harrison Smith back there is huge. because you need somebody on the field. that can communicate the same way Flo is. communicating to those guys in the.

meeting room. >> JJ Watt said they are in real time. deciding what coverages they want to use. with how the offense looks. The players. are on the field. So whenever you say. they're doing things that don't make any. sense, it's like I think that because. the front and the back do not match and. I think that is what they're expecting. and hoping for. If they're already doing. that week one, that's only going to get. better, right? You would assume? >> Oh, yeah. And that was kind of one of. the things playing for like Bellich, like you always had to be able to. adjust. And playing for B flow, obviously the same thing. You got to be. able to adjust, not only as you know, a. week to week, but between drives, you.

know, we get that iPad or whatever the. surface on the sideline like, hey, let's. do it this way or this is the flavor of. the week on third down. So, when you're. playing against this defense, you got to. stay ahead of the sticks. And Ben. Johnson, obviously, he wants to run the. football. You got to stay in third and. threes, third and fours. Once you start. getting those third and 11s and and. third and 12elves, like now you really. in trouble cuz he can do absolutely. anything. You talk about having these. smart veteran players on the field who. can also adjust to certain looks. Hey, this is a near. Okay, they switch to. far. Okay, these are the numbers. So, I.

mean, it's going to be a great it's. going to be an epic matchup early in the. season with these two guys. >> It literally looks like backyard. football whenever uh we're just like, what are we doing? Blitzing. Okay, what. what do you mean? All of us, we're just. going. That's what their defense looks. like every single play and Jordan Love. just got sick of it. It seemed like it. just seems like he got absolutely sick. of it. >> Big difference too as a DB like Jax said. when we're not just zero just asked out. like all right we're pressuring if you. don't get home oneonone if I don't get. you know burden on the ground it's it's. out the gate like when we have a little.

shell on it so we know pressure is. coming but I can still play with some. eyes. I can still jump some [ __ ] I can. still anticipate. You can still be there. for that like that corner. Harrison tips. it up. Boom. He's there. If he's in. man-to-man coverage that's just an. incomplete pass. you go to the next. play. So, that's a huge advantage as. well as a defender. >> All right, Jaymack, I know you got a big. day. >> with big trades. >> breaking down all the big plays. >> Yeah. Yeah, I felt pretty good. Uh, good. luck out there. I'll see you in Los. Angeles, brother. >> Yes, sir. See you guys. >> Hey, that's far.

LA's far. >> Mhm. >> LA's far. That's J Mley. >> Hey, I'm off now. I said see you take off. screen. >> What is this show called? What is Shre's. show officially called? >> Big Sh. Oh, Big Play with Big Shri. >> Big Day with Peter. >> Trager. >> Breaking down all of the big plays. >> Yeah, it's big day. >> That's what it's called, Agent. >> with Big Tra. >> Breaking down all of the big plays. >> That's what it is.

>> Yeah. It's coming up 2 o'clock ESPN. Monday through Thursday. on Friday. It. is not big day with big shakes. >> breaking down all of the big plays. That's big paint with the bus boys. That's on Friday. So, you know, 2:00. hour obviously cooking. Cannot wait to. see what big day with big shreds and. what big plays they break down with Big. Jay Mack uh who is obviously an absolute. stud. We got about 9 minutes before we. get off of ESPN and head to our uh.

digital platforms which we are very uh. pumped that we get to do, you know. >> Yeah, >> that's a pretty big deal being able to. just kind of carry over cuz first hour. didn't hit the hard out. JJ just kept. going. >> Mhm. >> This one we got overtime. >> That's right. >> But I don't want to put the offensive. line rankings into overtime. >> Sure. I think ESPN, all the airports, cafes, and everything that are kind of. cooking, >> yeah, >> deserve to know that this might be the. season of the big boys. This season,

more so than any other year, might be. highlighted by the offensive lines and. who can move bodies and what running. backs can go crazy. So this year it. might be the most impactful. version of this particular thing that. we've been doing for years. Preparing. for this moment maybe, you know, because. last couple years, who cares? Everybody. said, >> "Yeah, kind of.". >> This year it feels like it's going to. matter more than ever. Ladies and. gentlemen, it's time to go in the. trenches with AQ Shipley with our top.

five offensive lines of week one. >> AQ, >> let's start with five AQ, the Detroit. Lions. Welcome back to the top five. offensive lines, Detroit Lions. Why. then? Why now? >> Heck yeah. 165 yds rushing. New. offensive line. They move Su over to the. left. They got a rookie at right tackle. and Blake Miller. Let's take a look at. this. They're going against the New. Orleans Saints. If we can pause this. right before the snap. So here, let this. run a little bit. Let the linebackers. move over. There it is. You see that.

right there? And then you see the end. man on the line of scrimmage there, debuts. What's that telling you? Blitz. is coming. Right. So if you watch Pennet. Soul. So there, once that guy moves. inside on the left guard, now Penn Soul. knows, hey, two's coming outside. Watch. him take two for one. This is. incredible. Boom. Boom. Opens up the. huge hole. Ben Barts and the rest of the. boys just push everything front side and. you just hit that thing a million miles. an hour. >> So you're telling me that Penn Soul was. able to shed basically and then get to. his next block while blocking both guys.

He was also bouncing around. Was Penny. Soul bouncing around Foxy? Yeah, if you. remember last year, Penny Su was right. tackle, he moves to left tackle. But in. this game, he went left tackle, he went. right side, he went left side, he went. right side. Gu what the hell's going on? And how did he do on the left side? Cuz. I know that's very hard for a tackle. >> Well, did you see what he just did? It. looks like he did good. Foxy, welcome to. in the trenches. Top five week. >> He was basically Tristan Worfs. I mean, he made that transition smooth as can. be. Two of the top five in the league. Being able to go from right to left is. not as easy as most people think. And he.

did it seamlessly. But here's the deal. Every time it was a short yardage or. goal line situation, whether it was. third and one, fourth and one, or goal. to go, they put him at the right side at. the point of attack and hit downhill. plays. It was incredible to watch. Basically, you knew where the ball was. going once he moved from left to right. >> and it didn't matter. He still moves him. off and they're able to get touchdown. >> Okay, so is it tackle over? Tackle over. is what they're doing or did they just. bring in another tackle, move him to. wherever we were trying to run it? So. they flipped sometimes and then other.

times they leave Blake Miller at right. tackle, put him at tight end. So he's. basically the extra O lineman then goes. in at left tackle. Here's the. interesting thing. If they don't get it. in that goal to go situation, he has to. come out of the game cuz technically. he's the tight end. >> Okay. >> Or they have to run the same exact same. exact formation. >> Okay. Well, Penn first draft pick of. this particular regime. Love that he's. still a massive piece of it. Good to see. the Detroit Lions back on top 50 lines, which is where they're supposed to be. Let's go to the number four offensive.

line. Congratulations, Monday Night. Football Zone. Kansas City Chiefs. Chase. Go ahead, AQ. >> Yeah, listen. I could have showed a. million plays, but I love what Andy Reid. does. He leans on Chris Burman pulling a. play. 1930 or something like that. They got. Patrick Mahomes in a three-point stance. You got an offset back in a three-point. stance. We got Travis Kelce coming back. Let's watch this defense. Just pause it. right there. LOOK AT THE DB. THE D. GO. BACK. GO BACK. GO BACK. JUST half a.

thing. >> Yeah. Watch the DB. The DB HAS NO IDEA. WHERE THIS BALL'S GOING. They're running. counter back to the right with all the. misdirection to the left. >> Play. Play. >> And right there, 22 HAS NO IDEA where. the ball is. The ball's going to run. right beside him. And he's looking to. the other side. >> Is that legal? >> Yeah. I mean, that thing opens up very. nicely. Andy Reid back in his bag. I. like that Patrick Mahomes in a. three-point stance and gets a touchdown. pass from this to Kenneth Walker who is. obviously the new centerpiece of their. offense. >> Kenneth Walker was incredible. I've. talked about him for years. I know Foxy.

being a Michigan State guy. I loved him. forever when he was in Seattle. They did. not utilize him nearly as much as they. should have. He gets his first chance to. be the bellcow and he does a great job. I love that they went uh unbalanced line. right there, too. So, they move the line. over and they get the tight end over. there on the right. It was awesome. They. were planning on punching people in the. mouth from the offseason. They certainly. did that to the Broncos. Let's go to. number three offensive line. Congratulations, Don Under, San. Francisco 49ers. >> They punish the Rams. AQ says maybe it's. cuz the offensive line. >> Well, Kyle Shanahan's maybe the most.

prepared coach in the NFL. He had these. boys prepared. But let's take a look at. this. If we if I can set this up real. quick. Obviously, Trent Williams is. circle. That's who it starts with. But. look to the right. Right. You got Luke. Ferrell and you got Kyle Yuschek and a Y. and F, right? So, we're going to send. you in motion. And as we send him in. motion, it brings the DB back into the. box and then we get everything pushed. front side. Designed cut back with YNF. going backside and look at Trent. Williams just handle the second level. It's incredible. >> Okay, so they're forcing the defense to. fall right into what they want to do. >> Absolutely. And with that little motion.

with you, it brings them back in. Well, guess what that does? Nobody really. talks about this as much. Everybody just. talks, okay, we got two double teams. But guess what else we're doing? We're. able to hang on those double teams. longer because it's bringing people back. to you. Okay, so USC does a banana boat. run. Everybody's saying uh the banana. hammock is a little bit of cheating. Do. we think we're going to see a lot of. this or no? >> We are going to see a lot of this. I. mean, they started to do it a lot last. year and they can do so many different. things. It's not just sending them back. that time, then they got the play. action. Then they start them one way and. they run the toss back to the right. It's a million things. >> Let's go to the number two offensive.

line coming out of week one of the NFL. season. Congratulations, Baltimore. Ravens. >> We saw it. Yeah, we saw it. No offensive. player of the week for the Baltimore. Ravens. Could have had three of them, including the running back. What did you. see, AQ? >> Wow, this is a great play and I love. this. This is escort motion. So, we're. going to send 80 across the line, snap. the ball while he's on the fly. But. check out John Simpson, the left guard, just leaves the guy for him. 80 delets. him. Watch this. This is the hardest. thing when you get line movement when. you're running this. BOOM. GETS HIM. NOW. WATCH JOHN SIMPSON, NUMBER 74, LEFT.

GUARD, GET BACK OUT. BOOM. That's called. being on the same page in week one. And. then Derrick Henry all the way to the. end zone. >> Okay, so maybe that was good design. Not. necessarily terrible ass from the. Indianapolis Colts. >> Really good design. I mean, this. offensive coordinator is incredible. And. look at 17. Chris Moore comes up off the. practice squad this week. Elevated for. the game. And he's the one with the home. run hitting block at the end. >> Okay. Congrats to them. Let's go to. >> a team that had the NFC offensive player. of the week, their running back, Swift.

Congrats to him. And the Chicago Bears. number one offensive line. How come? What do we see? >> Well, they picked up right where they. left off last year. 291 yds rushing. Two. 100yard rushers. Let's take a look. We're going to get Colston Loveland over. there. We're going to move Cole KT over. there. Watch this tray block between. Cole KT and Darnell Right. Watch this. BOOM. PUT HIM BACK OUT. Make the block. easier for Cole Kat. Now get up ON THE. SECOND LEVEL. BOOM. Get the out block. Look at Luther Burton. That's the home. run block. >> Wow. Everybody's all in on the Ben. Johnson system. This is what the Detroit.

Lions were doing when Ben Johnson was. the most soughtafter head coaching. candidate maybe in the history of the. NFL. The Chicago Bears hang 59 in their. offensive lines. The number one. offensive line in the league after week. one. Congrats to these five offensive. lines getting the top five after week. one. We're certainly proud of you. AQ, thank you for going in the trenches with. us and thank you for watching our. program. We're so incredibly lucky that. we get to do this every single day. It's. football season. Life is great. Another. week kicks off tomorrow for college and.

the NFL. One more sleep and more ball is. on our TVs. Be a friend. Tell a friend. something nice that might change their. life. Goodbye. Man, I should have done one more big day. with Big Shrikes. >> You You got it. You got it. >> Show the logo. >> I feel like I did it on Friday, too, but. it wasn't their show. >> So. >> Oh, yeah. >> Remember? >> Yeah. >> Hey, that's going to happen. New shows. everywhere popping up everywhere. How. you supposed to [ __ ] keep your head. on? >> Which we like more opportunities for. people. You know, there's some people.

that say like, "Hey, I got a job here. I. get it for the next 60 years, you know, and then uh when that when that ends, I. got friends THAT ARE GOING TO BE PISSED. about that. You know, I should be able. to be here forever. I got this job. So, I get it forever. Is that how it works? I don't think so. Big Shrigs knows that. >> Big Shrigs knows. >> And that's why it's about to be a big. day. >> So does Big Pate. >> Big Bait and the big bus. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We like what's going on here on. Fridays. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. Need to not show crowd though. >> Okay.

>> Right. They need to get that shot on. them. >> I believe they're in an auditorium this. week. >> with a crowd. >> packed house. >> I would assume so. >> Okay. I think we should. If if if not, we should be pushing for crowd or we. should not show, you know, cuz I believe. Payton uh Pate and the busing boys have. real motion. >> It's hard whenever you see nothing in. the back, you know, immediately people. start attacking. I don't think it's the. best setup for them. But I do respect. and appreciate how much they are. committed to ball and I think they are.

going to be a great show. I I do believe. it's going to be a great show. Excited. for that. And Big Shreds, I mean I we. haven't seen any of his episodes because. they're on the same time as us uh our. digital show. But from my understanding, Shreg's loving it, right? >> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. >> Is he singing the open? Is he doing big? >> Not yet. But I think after the show. today, maybe say, "Hey, got something. for you here." I think you maybe need to. implement this in the rest of the week. and then in perpetuity until you know. So every time I say Shreger's name. >> if I say Pete because I got to say Peter.

Shreger. >> Sure. >> I got to do like full name, >> right? >> It should be big day with big shanks. >> And he's big. >> He's a big son of a [ __ ]. >> He's breaking down the big place. >> Yeah, >> isn't he? >> They can still change it. They can still. still make it. You know, there's. adjustments every day. >> I don't think we should be, you know, making. >> You don't think he wants to be known as. Big Shrekes? >> Why not? >> Why not? It's a big day, dude. It's a. big day, >> right? >> With big. >> breaking down all of the big plays.

>> Big day. >> He's got to do that little. >> He's got to dance like that coming out, you know? He comes out from like around. the screen. He dances out like like. Ellen used to do. >> Yes. >> I like the dance break and rest in peace. to Twitch. We appreciate uh everything. you did uh to bring the juice to that. particular program that had a hell of a. run for a long time. A lot of stuff. coming out of it, but nonetheless, they. had great success, great pacing, and. dancing was a part of it. That's where. you guys want Big Shrekes to pop out in. Big Day. For me, I want him out of the out of the desk.

>> like Gangdom Style. >> Yeah. Gang style. >> Yeah. >> Smoke. >> Yeah. >> You know what I mean? That's what I. would like. >> I agree. >> I mean, how is that, you know? >> Mhm. >> Like Rey Mysterio coming up from THE. [ __ ] LIKE SIGH. YEAH. You know, Gangdom style when he comes out. I think. it just it's a cold open on the desk and. it's playing a song. It's a big day. >> with big strikes. >> breaking down all of the big plays. >> It's a big day and it goes boom with big.

shrikes, you know, for the second one. because we got to got to have a little. bit of a buildup. >> That's just the open. >> Oh yeah. >> Now we got 50 [ __ ] nine more minutes. >> Yeah. >> Sure. They built it into those new. studios. Don't you think they had they. had to build that little trap door? >> I saw Danovski walking on a highlight. reel. I didn't know how that was. possible. Had a sky cam on them. I'm. like, "Geez Louise, sick.". >> Yeah. Unbelievable. Unbelievable studio. over there. It's huge from my. understanding. >> And I I like that they invested in that. >> cuz I think they might be experiencing. the same thing we're experiencing where.

the cameras might be a little bit too. good for their actual system. So, if we. keep updating things, we like that. obviously. Uh, but I like it for all. parties that they're investing in these. things, you know, because there's a. chance that some people in some. positions, they feel like they're an. asset to the company uh through the P&L. sheet where they can just cut things. and they don't have to do anything. They're just sitting in an office, but. they look like heroes because they save. uh 7,500 bucks over an entire thing. It's like, why don't we invest in things.

and see what they can become, especially. with incredibly talented people. I'm. happy they did that with NFL Live, back-to-back Emmy award winners, right? But also NFL and everything like that. It's uh I like that. I like that they. did that. I like that they get to. experience that. They've obviously. earned that with NFL Live, but also the. NFL should be treated that way. Now, there is a couple times where Dano's. point looking up like this. >> I'm like, is it too big? >> I mean, from right there, that is. massive. >> Miss Laura over here, obviously, Siciliano. I mean, it looked like.

they're in a warehouse. >> and uh but it is huge and they're I. think they're experiencing and. experimenting right now with everything. that's possible, but this is the future. of studios, I think, is what they tried. to build. And they certainly nailed it. Congrats to them. You're well earned. over there. That's. >> right. >> Very well earned over there. All right, let's get to a break on the other side. We got to wrap up everything. We also. got everything DB. Good D. >> Hell yeah. >> No more bad D. We're only slinging good. D around here this year. >> I like that. >> Oh, I like that. >> Pause. >> Nice. Yeah. >> Really? No bad D at all.

>> Well, you kind of saw it on Caleb. >> The situational report. >> Oh, yeah. Sit. You I did like the sit. What a great picture, too, by you, Debbie. >> Thank you. >> Yeah. What did you think of that photo? What did you think? >> You're very professional. Like, it's. really uh you know, >> what do girls call it? Call a thirst. trap. Debbut's putting out there. >> No, Debb's put out thirst traps before. He He's gone He's gone. >> This is corporate. This is corporate. >> Yeah. Yeah, you're right. This is how. you do. should have used the 80s. picture. >> That was a good little run that uh.

Instagram had with everybody doing their. 80s pictures. You look super cool in the. 80s. This one is very How you doing? >> A button up. >> This is a big how you doing right here. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> We asked him if he wanted to put. sunglasses on, you know, cuz we could do. that. He said, "Absolutely not. I want. them to see these [ __ ] eyes.". >> No gimmicks. >> Listen, I got to the bottom of this. [ __ ] Reck, let me talk about this. The pizzazz on that photo. >> Mhm. >> I don't know about that, but uh. >> what do you mean?

>> I don't see pizzazz there. >> Great pizzazz. >> Pretty straightforward. >> Yeah. Gas up the jet. >> I'm ready. >> Yeah, you're damn right. All right, let's get to a break. Yeah, he does. Well, yeah, I guess he is telling others. to do it to his jet there. >> You look [ __ ] cool here, dude. But. >> attorney, >> this does look like Have you been hit by. a truck? >> Yeah, exactly. He's. >> coming in there right now. You know what. I mean? [ __ ] attorney Edgar Snyder has been. doing it for so long. He he he will get. you if you've been injured. >> No doubt. >> And you don't pay unless we get money.

for you. >> It's a big deal. >> You look like a lawyer there. Which is. good because you're special forces cuz. we're doing [ __ ] right now. >> Exactly. >> The law of defense. >> Talking some real [ __ ] right there. >> Yes, we are. Maybe you should call it. shituation, you know, so we can say. [ __ ]. >> N probably Chuck Chuck could probably. >> Oh, yeah. We'll ask him spin on it. >> Hey, hey, Chuck. What What did Debb do. yesterday? Hey, you saw many. Oh, situational. >> Mhm. >> Report. Is that what I saw? I did shoot. that debut. I thought you did a great. job. >> Great [ __ ] rep.

Uh, also, we will have a presence and be live. >> Yes. >> From the new High Mark Stadium tomorrow, which kicking off a brand new era of. Buffalo Bills football. We are honored. and thankful to have presence there. Mhm. >> Did you hear AJ? >> I did hear some uh We got somebody like. a You send in a proxy, I guess. >> No, it's a friend of the program. Our. show is there.

>> Okay. >> Oh, I know. He I mean, he's a integral. part of the show and of, you know, college football, NFL football, all of. the above. >> Have you heard they got a little bit of. a crate or a cage outside of the bison? >> They do. >> I saw that. Are they bringing in. something that's dangerous? What are we. doing? Well, they're kind of teasing. maybe a real bison's out there with the. fan. >> Let me see. Can we get closeup of that? Is that sturdy? Is that a sturdy. enclosure? >> Yeah, cuz this would be like a Ralphie. showing up, right? And and from the. >> But they with the What makes you think. that it could be a real live animals. because they have that that tarp that.

they're saying, "Oh, we got to protect. the animal." So, here we go. He's the. sun won't beat him down all day. Oh, >> I'm sure they have to fight people for. that. >> You think PETA said, "Listen, if you're. going to have a bison out in the middle. of all these people, you got at least. have a tarp over so obviously it'll get. too hot when they're. >> Who's going to come Sorry. Who's going. to come scoop up all the big dumps in. there cuz that's going to get real. smelly, especially if it's humid. >> I think they're just going to pick it up. and I don't know if Brandon Bean will be. doing that. Maybe Boyco will be scooping. up the humid poops from the bison. I I'm. not 100% sure, but I think this entire. thing is probably just getting put in a. bag afterwards and never to be seen. again. Just over the shoulder.

>> knowing these Buffalo fans, they might. throw it at each other at the tailgator. and grill it. >> Anyways, >> I thought they were putting Morreny in. there to wrestle other fans. >> Oo, that's not a bad idea. >> Huge Bills fan. I didn't he he went on a. pretty good little tweet run uh saying. how pumped he was about suitable. Yeah. He's already got his outfit set out on. his bed. Stay there until the season. >> Well, his wife said he needs to look. good. It's LA. >> Yeah. >> Well, how many days was it? I I forget. I did the research. >> He did. It was what, 200 some? >> 205 or something. >> He's ready. >> He's ready. I'm thankful for that.

>> Hell yeah. >> Hey, we'll see you February 12th. Gabe. Morreny. >> Yep. >> 2027. Love my wife. Sure. You said, "What you. going to wear this year on Pat McAfee. show?" I think we need to go big. I told. her, "You read my mind. Super Bowl's in. LA again. My 25th year of Rage. Congratulations. I lived and died in LA. as a kid. I'm going big with wardrobe. this year." # Super Bowl. Special year. this year to me. # Rage for Life. Scroll. down on the date that that was sent, please. Uh, just so we can get it.

That's the difference. >> Can't wait to see what he [ __ ] pulls. out. >> Oh yeah. >> 200 days in advance. He's laying out his. clothes. >> Yeah. >> Don't overthink it. >> He would never ever. >> He needs to trust his instincts. He. always buys great jackets from the local. store next door. Cost like $4,000 for. some sweet Super Bowl jacket. >> That'll be part of it. He wins it back. >> He may or may not try to take it back a.

couple times. >> Him coming out. >> Yeah, >> he's a showman. He has the best stage. presence. I mean, that's that's. literally our last moment. >> of the season. >> Yeah. >> Is Gabe Morreny coming out from Sports. Rage telling us all his favorite bets. And at that point, what I'm like a. >> I'm a dead man walking at that point, right after the season. Most of us are. >> I'll be 30 to 40. Naturally, not this. year. I'm not going to be 30 to 40. pounds heavier. I've decided that that's. not going to happen. But nonetheless,

>> we are very lucky, thankful. But that's. a long football season. And then he pops. out and it's like we made it. >> That's what I mean. That's what we're. all just trying to get to. >> Veren coming out on stage. >> This is what we're trying to get to. right here. This was the same set that. Yeah. >> Yeah. >> Goat. >> Yeah. This is the same set that AJ. refused to put his hands up with Whiz. Khalifa. Uh I do believe. >> False. >> Uh no, this was the Louisiana. >> Look at Look at this. >> juice. So much love. >> Oh, that was San Francisco. Okay. So San.

Fran was obviously great. This was last. year. I assume he gave us a winner. Kenyon Barner. >> Touchdown. >> AJ. >> Yeah, whoever it was. >> AJ Barer. >> Yeah, Kenyon Barner, too. >> He's a great boy, right? Yeah, >> definitely. >> Let's get to a break on the other. Hey, we'll see you there, Gabe. >> What will happen from now until then? >> A lot. >> Anything. Anything could happen. That. Shike Division group, >> Paul got out of change. >> Maybe. >> Thank you, AJ. didn't want to be too.

negative, but as somebody who's got a. season tickets to one of the teams on. there, we would like that to change. >> But there's a chance it doesn't. >> What if the Kansas City Chiefs just run. wild on just like the Baltimore Ravens. just did and Indianapolis Colts going to. live in the Shite division for two weeks. at least and then that potentially. steamrolls in the week three and all of. a sudden last year we're the best team. in football. This year Shite division. >> Yeah. Citizens. 17.

>> Arizona Cardinals are supposed to be in. the shite division. >> Nope. >> They're unbelievable. >> Not this year, boys. >> Oh, we'll see. >> Yeah. >> Remember that is a relegation promotion. >> We're going to find out real quick. Not. with Mike. >> You know where they play this week, right? >> Oh, yeah. >> My team. >> Seahawks. >> My NFC team. >> Yeah. >> My. >> at home though. At home. >> Home. Sam Darnold. >> Red Sea is going to be freaking nuts. >> No. Sam Darnold. Right. Drew Lock. You. said at least one more week and that was. a glute, not the maximus. Do you know. the ass muscles better than me and rap? Cuz we couldn't figure out what the I.

think it's the glutius odysius maybe or. >> glute me. >> How many how many glute muscles do we. have? >> You would know AQ. >> Well, the glutius maxim I mean we don't. have to dive into why AQ definitely. knows what the answer is. But the. glutius maximus is the big the big one. >> Yeah. The glute medius. >> which is what. >> where's that? >> Do the math. in the medius in the middle. >> where my tailbone is. >> Your butt crack. >> right next to your butt crack in the. middle. Yeah. >> So, he got a he got a butt crack. All. right. >> Tore his butt crack open.

>> Okay. So, we're kind of right. Nice. butt. >> The glutius minimus. Um glutius medius. >> Easy D butt. >> Glutius maximus. It could have been any. of those three. It's not the maximus. though is what he said. So, it's got to. be the minimus or the medius. And I do. think. >> it's got to be the minimus. I bet the. minimus. >> Yeah, cuz that feels like hip. That's. where he is, right? >> And it was his right leg. >> Yeah. >> And you said And you said what? Me minus. >> medius. I said medius. >> So you said left side. >> Yeah. >> Strong side. >> Yeah. >> Got his butt banked.

>> It's going to happen. >> So he's got a he's got a bruised glutius. minimus. >> Yeah. >> Mhm. >> Thank god that's all it was. >> I know. >> And I think for this graph they needed a. a big butt to showcase where everything. was. >> So I appreciate the graph makers. uh or. the what is this called? Not a graph. >> Chart diagram. >> Yeah, chart diagram. You name it. >> I appreciate the diagram's attention to. detail here cuz we could see every. single centimeter of all those muscles.

>> Mhm. >> And congrats to them, by the way. Whoever that was. >> Yeah. Nice ass. >> Look like Mr. Incredible. >> It's a display. >> Yeah, it is. >> Mhm. >> That's not real, by the way. That was. AI, which. >> sure. >> is going to kill us all. Oh yeah. >> Okay. >> Some quarterbacks for sure. >> It's kind of. >> they would encounter. >> just shouldn't have said it. I mean just. shouldn't have said just shouldn't have.

said it as it was coming out. I assume. Oh no. Way too transparent right now. Should not have said that cuz there's. going to be huge ramifications from. this. And there was and obviously we had. apology moving forward. But let's. remember. that everybody is working with each. other to try to make the absolute. greatest thing we possibly can this. football season. >> That's right. >> Sarkeesian with two. interview situations in one game. potentially because the amount of time.

he was being asked to. not coach his team or not celebrate with. his team which I think was potentially a. little bit abnormal than what it. normally would have been. So, I think. there was there might be some other. sides to it all. >> Sure. >> But I think all parties are like, "Hey, we would just like to. >> let's move on. >> Let's move forward with football." And. uh I'm happy that happened. But there. was a lot of situations that we should. have been avoiding certainly and have to. going forward. But nobody's perfect. >> And I appreciate that we all put our.

swords aside. Where' Debb. >> piping hot pipes, I assume. >> Oh no. What happened? Well, he was looking at that diagram of. that uh. >> person and AQ mentioned lotion. >> Jesus. Yeah. >> You think that's going on right now? I. don't know. That would be crazy. That. would be a crazy move to do. I. >> told me to go check. >> Why admit just so I know what. >> they can knock on the door and make sure. everything's all right. >> Let's get to a break. >> Hey, you jerking it either.

out of left field. >> Be a friend. Tell a friend something. nice. It might change your life. We will. get to the headlines on the other side. And I would like to let everybody know, do whatever you need to do to get to the. game. >> Okay? >> Sure. >> Whatever you guys need to do to get back. to the other side of this break and have. a good third hour, you do it. >> We don't need to be sending Mitt in. there like a splunker into the caves to. kind of find out what the [ __ ] going. on. Okay? Everybody respect everybody's. privacy. Whatever you need to do to be. the best version of you, let's do that.

Cuz we living, baby, we got to get. it daily. Wish we all spark up and light. up for the shame. >> Yeah. Got a pimple in a mug shot putting. cliches up in a tough spot. Got some. candy shoulders and some folk who are. movers and a buddy down a county running.

rough shot. Different past, similar scars. Avoid. [ __ ] is so hard. So raise your. smoke. Whatever's your drink, we're more. alike than we think. Forget the labels. and the hate. They divide and conquer. We're all on the same rock together. We.

sure want. Yeah, I got a. mud shot. Putting cliches up in a tough. spot. Got some P shoulders and some Four. movers and a buddy down the county. running rough shot. Yeah, I got a pit. bull and a mud shot. Putting cliches up. in a tough spot. Got some kid shooters. and some movers and a buddy down the. county running shot.

Hey, let's go. >> This show sticks and the fact that you. listen, we are very, very thankful for. you. >> McAfee on the line with a gorgeous. assist. >> The alltime leading tackler for the. Green Bay Packers. You pick. >> stutter. Damn it. >> Your friend tell a friend something nice.

could change their life. Hello beautiful people and welcome back. to our humble the boat the drafting. standard on this college football week. three NFL week 2 eve hour three of the. program begins now. >> FOOTBALL. >> HE IS THE GREATEST AJ Hawk there. incredible timing by you especially as. an attic in Ohio uh man that just are. you always.

>> felt early for me. >> it was but I appreciated that you went. for it, you know. I I I think so I. motivated you to do that because I like. that you took a shot going early, >> you know. So I motivating you tell you. to do it again. Then you self scouted. and said felt like I was that is the. accurate read on that. >> Okay. >> But I like that. >> trying to get I'm trying to be right on. with the boys but it's got it's very you. know it's tough. >> Yeah. But I feel like you you know. >> Yeah. We're working at it. Still. practicing. >> I like that you did that. The mindset is.

really 80% of the battle, I think, cuz. you do get in your big ass head a little. bit every once in a while. You're like, you know, and you kind of you kind of. pull back and then you're late and it's. very obvious. That time you just started. the slow clap. And I I think that's a. good thing, not a bad thing. We need to. keep that attitude and mindset as we go. through college football and NFL season. The toxic table is here looking normal. again at Boston Conor and at Tai. Schmidt. There's a nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler, down there. Marlins. hat. Are they good at baseball? >> Uh, you know what? I think we're about.

eight back from the last card. So, it. it's tough. It's been tough for us. We. had a good stretch for the Allstar game, then it kind of kind of stunk at the. end. But, uh, you know, it's football. season. So, >> yeah, it certainly is football season, especially if you live in a city where. your baseball team sucks. That'd be a. majority of us out here. Talk about. worst team of all time. And The Athletic. had a uh article that projected what. potential rosters could be uh for. college football. >> Okay. So there was all these college. football brands and they're like, "Hey,

here's how your team stacks up in scale. for everybody else." I don't think any. of these deals are public, so I think. this is a uh prognostication, if you. will. But from our source, >> this should be about right. But do those. people know what it is? You know, because who's paying what? And you look. at the top there, it's like Oregon. at the top of the food chain moneywise, which we all expect and understand. Not. a great start. >> No, >> not not a great start obviously. So I I.

think that's something you're going to. be judged upon. Ohio State Buckeyes. obviously full investment out of the. state of Ohio. We know that they lose in. Austin. So you got two of the teams at. the very top who obviously have L's. already on the board two weeks into. this. And you start to wonder what does. the future roster look like? What does. the future cap look like? And what does. the future of these coaches look like? Not saying landing or anybody's in. trouble, but this is what you're going. to be judged off of, especially when. it's the boosters who are making a lot. of the decisions. And it's the boosters. who are giving a lot of the money that. they're seeing,

once again, I keep saying Oregon, lose. to Oklahoma State. And it's like that. This brings a whole new element to. pressure and how hot seats can get and. everything like that. And if your team's. down there at the bottom, I think you're. thinking to yourself, "Okay, I'm looking. for another sport to follow." Okay. I I. think that's potentially how you What do. you mean? >> Not everybody. What do you mean? Who's. down there at the bottom? I didn't even. see. >> Yeah, the Hawks uh Hawks roster is, you. know, right around 18 to $21 million a. year. So, they're kind of waiting in. those very, very shallow waters, but.

they make it work. I mean, West. Virginia's down there. Same deal. >> 18 to 22, I believe. But, you know, BC. BC right now, I mean, there they said. anywhere from 8 to$13 million a year. And Bill O'Brien's making it work, but. how do you make that work? Well, and. then also there is a team in there. that's kind of near the top that hasn't. had a lot of success yet that you. seemingly pointed out immediately upon. looking at this graph. >> I can't I can't remember who I who I. >> Okay, well then good. You didn't really.

mean it. We don't have to bring it up. Friend of the. >> No, WHO WAS IT? >> OH, NO, NO, NO, NO. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. I. definitely meant that. Yeah, Nebraska, it's criminal that they're spending that. much money and you know, Matt Rule still. has a job. I love the guy. He's great on. the show, but. >> we don't call for jobs around here, but. these are the types of things that are. going to be going to happen taken into. consideration for the jobs. And that. takes me to baseball. Okay, the Mets. last year, second highest payroll, I. believe, behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. >> Dodgers obviously win the World Series. Mets don't even make the playoffs. This.

year, they're even worse. I thought in. baseball if you spent the most amount of. money, you win. That's kind of what the. entire thing is about. >> No, not typically. If you're a loser. franchise like the Mets are, uh, for. whatever reason, it just it just doesn't. it doesn't work. And they play in a very. tough division, that's part of it. But. the Yeah. Yes. The idea is that if you. spend more money than everybody else and. get kind of the best players, uh, that. you will win. But that's also a big part. is you need to spend the the most money. while getting the right players, not. just spending a bunch of money on. players who aren't really going to help. you. AJ, you and I come from cities in.

which in baseball franchises, not that I. was a fan, but you were that are down. there near BC and Duke, you know, whenever you talk about the athletic. scale of what these rosters are. This is. seemingly pointing out like, hey, who's. probably going to be and who's probably. not, which I think is the whole. conversation about like, hey, we got to. put some sort of something on what the. future is cuz the top end here, they're. going to be able to go whatever this the. top end is going to be able to be. bottomless pit, bottomless bowl of soup.

and bread sticks. Okay, this is Olive. Garden. They're able to go whatever it. is. Whatever the playing field is, they'll be able to get to. >> everybody down here. Are they going to. move or are they going to stay here? And. then do we fall into the MLB situation, which is why trying to get floor cap on. this entire conference. >> Look how much it's jumped. When Ohio. State won the national championship, people were going crazy cuz they had. what, like a $30 million roster that. year. That was what, two years ago, three years ago. And it's almost doubled. already. So like, yeah, it's it the the. line between the have and the have nots.

has been emboldened like crazy. And. until we get some sort like who's to say. that, you know, let's say Oregon doesn't. win or whatever this year and they they. don't have the best year, like who's to. say they're not going to have an 80. million roster next year to make sure. like, hey, we can't have what happened. last year happened this year, >> which any team could have if they have a. booster who has billions of dollars and. would like your team to have success, which is what a lot of people are saying. like, "Hey, don't we need some sort of. something here?" Because some of these.

schools, you know, they don't have a billionaire. or maybe a trillionaire looking to have. their team win. So, shouldn't we put. some sort of protection on it? Then you. hear the agents come out in the NAACP. and they're like, "Seems like. everything's hunky dory right now. What. do we It's just like the MLBPA, just. like what the baseball players are. saying. Ratings are bigger than they've. ever been. We're saying this is a. problem. This is how this is. Why would. we change it?" It's like, well, I think. everybody that's actually around the. sport and college sports as a whole was.

like, is this sustainable? A. professional operation certainly is, but. this is money coming from people that. are getting no money in return. This is. just like a hey, a good I don't want to. say goodwill. >> pretty much, >> but kind of like a goodwill. And some. schools at the top are going to be able. to be there forever and some aren't. Is. that what we want? I that's for other. people to figure out. That that is for. other people to figure out. But it does. seem like a lot of people say, "Hey, this this divide is going to get pretty. big whenever I if it continues to grow. the way it is." And that's just college.

football. >> A lot of teams from the South spending. some money up there. I see. >> Yeah. I like that they're getting into. the game. You know, Miss obviously from. watching Blindside, we know they have a. lot of money, right? We know that that. is uh certainly a team that is able to. get up in there. Uh Texas A&M, >> we know that they got a lot of cash out. there, but if you have success, that. money continues. Mhm. >> That's just like University of Houston. I think they got a lot of money down. there. If they were to hit on a couple. things, not saying they didn't hit with. the swang is coming out. You know what. I'm saying? With the [ __ ] thingies on. the wheels,

>> which is sweet. Allegedly that was a. last minute audible cuz something else. was supposed to happen and then that. fell through and they're like, "Fucking. call Trill whatever. Get the swing out. The swang is out here. I roll that thing. out there." allegedly from one. particular source after we talked about. it before, but if you're one of these. schools down the bottom and you get a. booster or a couple boosters that give. you some money and you hit on it, then. there's a chance to go. But if you get. money and you waste it, it's probably. going the other way. And there's going. to be a lot more of those stories than. there are the Indiana stories, you know, cuz Indiana, they were talking about,

well, they got all this money for Mark. Cuban. It's like, no, Mark Cuban is not. the main driver in that, but Mark Cuban, we've all seen smart investor. Do you. think he's still going to fork over. whatever dollar it is if the team's. losing and he's getting nothing in. return other than his school uh. potentially having a chance in football? It's like, yeah, right. You give that. money, you have success. All of a. sudden, the boosters are like, "Yes, we. would like to continue to do this." And. you can kind of go from the bottom. ladder, bottom tier up to the top. But. once again, there's going to be a lot. more people that miss with money than. hit with money. So, how long does this.

last? I that is the question, I guess, that is being discussed everywhere these. days. >> I mean, look at Penn State. Penn State. was at the top of the ladder last year. Now they're just middle of the table. They're right next to Wisconsin. You. wonder that's probably one of those. schools where if Matt Campbell proves. it, you're going to see them in in the. upper echelon, the upper tier. But right. now, because of the Franklin debacle, because all the money they spent that. panned out for nothing, you know, they. kind of have to drop down a little bit. and figure it out before going all the. way back in on football. >> And this isn't even talking about the. other sports that are happening. You.

talk about Penn State, they invest in. their hockey team. Obviously, the. Pagoula family invests big time in the. hockey team, basketball, there are some. rosters that are gigantic. Baseball, softball, and I think uh you know, the. future of college sports could be better. than ever. >> Yeah. >> Especially if they're able to figure. this all out, but it also could get. pretty crazy in the difference between. who's where. This is a good article from. the Athletic. Hey, that's good for ball. Thank you, Athletic. >> We don't know if it's real, though. Obviously, none of these contracts are. public. Something that is real in public.

up there on that list, top of that list, University of Miami. >> Oh yeah. >> Going back to Nike. Thank God. I think. that's the last thing. Get them give him. back over the hump. >> That's next year. So you're saying this. year no good. Even though Mets is. currently on, >> you know, maybe that's how you bring it. in. Just like Blue and he came, hey, win. a Super Bowl. Maybe you win a national. championship and then you boom back to. Nike. >> Barry Jackson at Florida Sports Buzz on. top of it. Scoop per sources. University. of Miami is going back to Nike and the. most one of the most lucrative deals in. college sports history. So, it can't be.

more than Oregon's deal because that's. where Nike started. So, I assume they. will always have the biggest Nike deal. out of every team in the country. I. think there's some other tiered Nike. deals. I think if I know the business. and what it was for a while. So, they're. saying they're getting one of the top. ones. That's great. Kirk Herbstreet. >> So, >> yeah. I mean this guy. >> obviously all Adidas national. championship last year Indiana Miami. Adidas investing massively in American. football first time long time right.

they've been super international we will. dabble with American football but not. really their thing and all all Kirk. could say the entire time is I [ __ ]. hate it. I'm like well don't we like. that they're bringing their money into. you know like football? This is a good. this is a good thing not a bad thing. Well they need to figure out how to. [ __ ] do it then because these pants. are ass. I don't like seeing his pants. They're baggy. That's what he said. Thank goodness my player is too good to. be wearing those baggy ass pants. Great. He was so mad. He saw him jog on the. field. What is this? Is this pee-wee.

football? What What do we got going on. here? Why Why don't the pants fit? That. was the first thing he said. And there's. a lot of old school Miami people that. are like the U and the swoosh just seem. like they are synonymous with each. other. Adidas though is taking them to a. national championship. First time long. time them going back to Nike obviously a. big deal. Nike was kind of relinquishing. a lot of college ball. Adidas was coming. in in a big way. Under Armour was coming. in a big way. I do believe Nike. potential, >> they lost a lot of money over the last. year. >> Yeah, I I think Nike won. Yes. So, they.

had to probably do a realignment, readjustment on who we need to focus on, what we need to get back into. It did. feel like they were losing college. football a little bit. Now, obviously, clearly jumping right back in. >> Yeah, that that is sweet cuz growing up. Nike dominated college football. We all. remember the the all gray gloves that. everybody wore in Miami back in the. days, the black socks and that was a big. thing at least uh down in South Florida. So, yeah, it is good to see them coming. back especially when you see kind of. what's happening to them on on the. business side. A lot of reports from. like 52- week lows or you know the stock.

price being they just got taken out of. the S&P 500 I think last month. So, yeah, it's it's it's getting stinky over. there business-wise. So, I would like to. see them getting back into college ball. you know, whenever um for me kicker, punter, >> there's a lot of uh thought as a soccer. player, free kick taker, it's like, I'll. be able to do this. I'll be able to do. this. I don't have to worry about the. fundamentals that much. It's like, hey, put the ball down. I'll [ __ ] put it. through the thing. Then you realize in. those massive moments like you need some. fundamentals, you know, you can't just.

be freestyling it in a lot of big type. of moments. It's like, I guess we should. have some sort of system or technique. here that we can fall back upon. So then. obviously the practice reps pick up for. me and I feel like what happens to all. people whenever it's a high pressure. situation you fall back on your. fundamentals especially if you're going. to uh be a let's say a pitcher or hitter. a golfer or a kicker or a punter or any. of these positions that are pretty. isolated but you need to do a craft at a. very high level. I think it comes to a. point sometime in your career where. you're going to have to rely on your.

fundamentals. You're going to have to. fall back on them. That's what Nike is. doing right now. >> Falling back on the fundamentals. >> People love [ __ ] football, right? Let's bring back our TD Speeds, too. Okay. The the speeds the from like 2004. We need the 2004 2005 speeds back if you. want to do that. The loop of paint. around the front. Do you remember with. the white. >> Oh, yeah. >> But the vapors I wore were Vapor in. college. They're the the lowest low tops. and they were super flimsy. They're. awesome. >> They were like soccer cleat, weren't. they? >> Yeah, pretty much. Yeah. They would. never like let you wear them now. They.

claim you, you know, you'll break your. foot, Liz, Frank, all that situation. >> Yeah. I bought like four pairs of those. Speeds whenever uh they were about to. end was grabbing pairs out of there to. hold on to them. I wore those as kicker. punter at West Virginia and then they. just stopped creating them. I was I was. trying to get them into the NFL and they. fell apart because I uh I only had like. three pairs to use for the last year. JJ. Watt told a story about trying to. dumpster dive into something to find. some cleats. >> Yes, I believe it was the Vapor. The one. with Luke Keequley. Is that the one. you're talking about? That was the.

vapors AJ was talking about and then the. bottoms of the shoes I guess like or the. cleats rather just basically melted off. at a certain point. >> Yeah, they did fall. The old school. technology on shoes were not the best. Yeah, you know, they did kind of fall. apart. I would like them to do some. throwback styles. >> They need to they need to make the. lineman cleat wider cuz their lineman. cleat have gone to [ __ ] Like they are. super narrow. The linemen absolutely. hate wearing them. They need to fix. them. Okay. >> The old the old I'm telling you like do.

you remember when we played? >> Yeah. You guys had those big boots. >> Big boots. But that's what we want. Like. that's what the boots not the boots, man. I thought we're supposed to pull. RP. We're just talking about the hybrid. offensive lineman. >> No, they hate them, man. They're all. cutting like the toes out so that their. feet have like room to breathe. >> Oh yeah, my pinky toe would hated those. I think is why I like the speeds cuz. they had a little fat front end. You. know what I mean? Had a big cockpit up. there. My feet my wide toe box. >> Yeah, I like the wide toe box. >> Yeah, they need to get back to that. Right now, all these things are narrow. and the linemen hate them. I'm There you. go. >> They're saying too much pizzazz on these.

cleats. >> Yeah, they're trying to make them look. too cool. Trying to make them look like. linebacker cleats and they're not. >> athletes. I like that. Disgusting. >> Just saying. There's my piece. >> Let's talk about athletes. Let's not. talk about offensive line toes. >> Been there. >> Even though I feel the same exact way. >> Mhm. You're built like a lineman. >> Thank you. >> Kind of. >> And I got a great weeno. I mean, Jason. Kelsey didn't get a chance to see it on. Monday, but we know that my [ __ ] He. ain't at. >> Yeah. game day.

>> Oh, yeah. >> This week? >> No, first week. >> Did I give one? >> Yeah, you did. >> Oh, yeah. >> See, I black out in there. I don't even. remember doing it. As soon as it's time. to go, I'm just listening for the. [ __ ] cadence. >> You know what I mean? I don't even I. don't need to be thinking. I don't need. to be thinking out there at all. AJ, you. got it one time, I think, haven't you? Just out there. Got. >> these big fight on me. I wouldn't I. wouldn't I wouldn't want to take a pass. rush against you. Only two people would. beat me. >> Cam Hayward, Aiden Hutchson. >> Well, Hutch was a screen. >> Yeah, you kind of debatable. >> Yeah, you did. >> It was a screen. You're right. I kind of.

let him by. >> Jay Glazer kind of got you at one time. >> Jay, yeah, that was. >> I can't I can't cosign on that. I don't. think Jay got you. >> Thank you. Because we all know how that. could have ended and it didn't. Uh, so I. think I was being very hospitable. >> That would have been awesome. >> Awesome. >> You would have done awesome. So I know. he knows rolling very well and we did. start doing the shoulder thing. >> Right. This guy. >> Yeah. But he started like really moving. and I'm in cowboy boots and I didn't. know we were doing this. So I'm sliding.

backwards but just natural and Jay. Glazer probably felt this because he is. Jay Glazer but there was like uh let me. see can I if I was to get here could how. do how's it feel? You know. >> and if he keeps going we're going to. see. So then we go to this side he keeps. pushing. I'm like all right we're. [ __ ] going for a hip tosser as soon. as we get to this other side. And we. hugged each other. little judo throw. >> And we hugged each other, but we were. about a half a second away from me. trying to [ __ ] full on, you know, trying to get him. I love Jake. If I. didn't like him, I wouldn't be trying to. do that. But he was [ __ ] moving me. pretty good. Not as much as Cam Hayward.

Cam Hayward put his left hand into my. chest, pushed me into a brick wall. You. remember that? >> Yep. >> Mhm. Old office. >> He was like, "This is really fun." I was. like, "Cheam, what would you do right. here?" And he like actually got down. into the stance. I'm like, "Oh, this is. sweet, dude. I don't think anybody's. ever really gone into a stance against. me. This is going to be fun. And then uh. obviously who's it on? He said, "Doesn't. matter." I said, "All right, it'll be on. me. I'll do it." I [ __ ] one step. He. [ __ ] gets up for real. Oh my god. So. then I go another one. I go to put my. hands on him, his [ __ ] mitt right to.

my chest. Okay, we're not playing any. [ __ ] long arm me right to my chest. and pushed me into a brick wall as if I. was a [ __ ] eighth grader. Do you. remember when he did that? >> Yeah, >> that was that was a shame. >> vividly. >> I almost retired. [ __ ] He's pretty. Yeah, he's pretty strong. >> Guy's a firstbound hall of famer. >> Yeah. >> Oh, pro. >> He lifted me up off the ground, I think, if I do recall, like it was a movie. Like, hey, [ __ ] fun. Is this one? Is. this fun? Is this what you wanted to do? Is this what we were looking to. accomplish? >> Then he put me back down. Pat me on the. head and kind of walked out.

>> See you guys later. >> I'm going to stop doing this [ __ ] But. then I went right back to it in public. You don't look like Cam Hayward. [ __ ]. give me that. That's what I thought. I. like it. It's a good thing, not a bad. thing. Offensive line's going to be a. big part of the story this year. AQ, we're thankful that you're here. Also, we're thankful that we get a chance to. dive into something that maybe doesn't. get talked about enough. We need SOME. GOOD D. >> YEAH. >> TO BE DISCUSSED by D but everything DB. good D coming right down the pipe. Happy. Wednesday to you D but needs to be. chatted about or celebrated a little. bit. >> Obviously, it starts with the ners down.

ner. They had a great outing on offense. and on defense. Uh big time pick right. here from the reigning MVP. We always. talk about from zone coverages. You saw. it in um always throughout the week, especially in that Dallas uh Giants game. on Sunday Night Football, playing high. to low, being a flat defender, playing a. high to low. You take away the high. right high route, you react to the low. route. We have a no cover zone. I don't. know if you guys used to call it the. same thing, AJ in zone coverage. So. right here, great job knowing also Green. the corner knowing Puka Nool is probably.

going to get targeted on this third and. 10. So many times throughout the league. down the distance, guys aren't aware of. him, so they stay kind of round the. sticks. he'll maybe be hugged up on 18, you know, five yards away from the line. of scrimmage and give up that corner. route. So, great job by him. I wouldn't. even say baiting Matt Stafford into this. because he got depth, he got width, he. kept leverage on it, and then great job. going up and finishing this play for a. big time interception. >> So, this was not a bait. This is just. standard bait. >> No, it it wasn't a bait. It's just him. doing his job. He gets a reroute. If you. run it back to the beginning, if you're.

a deep half safety, this is kind of like. a a quarter quarter half. If you go back. to the very beginning, Foxy, it starts. off showing like a single high. So, you're thinking cover three or man if. you're the quarterback. And then as the. routes progress down the field, they go. to more of a split safety look. And. anytime that corner is rolled up like. that, you're going to have a safety over. the top. So, you see 36 just being in. that deep half. And as that underneath. defender, you just want to keep getting. depth, right? Cuz Puka, if he stays. shallow, he hits Puka right around the. 20 yard line, a little bit in front of. that 20 yardd line. He probably goes in.

and and at least threatens to score. right here. It's a one-on-one tackle. with that safety, but instead he. continues getting depth, continues. sinking, and then climbing up and making. an interception. >> Well, good for him. We didn't have any. of that this weekend. N. >> we didn't have any of that. No, that was. unbelievable. They're doing this down. under. How do you think the Australians. felt about with the game that they. watched? >> I think I mean, it was pretty it was. pretty good game. It was pretty. dominant. You know, you got their asses. be like I said, the Rams, I think they. they took the travel wrong or maybe just. the Niners were that damn good. And and. Kyle Shanahan, he he's going to be. prepared, you know, week in and week.

out. He's going to have the protection. set. He's going to have movement. He's. going to have a good run game. He's. going to have good plan. And they went. out and executed. And then Raheem Morris. had his defense ready to roll as well. >> Niners also won over Australia cuz they. were there for a week ahead of time. >> Pro Niners crowd big time. Exactly. Happy about that. >> So I think Australia seemed like the. team that chose to go down there for a. week actually kick ass to the Super Bowl. favorites was good for sport in. Australia. Now, Niners's use check was. on big day with big. >> breaking down all of the big plays.

>> and he was saying that he actually feels. much better than he thought he was. coming back. So maybe they were able to. fix their sleep as well as they got. acclimated to the Australia lifestyle. for a week. >> Yeah, I assume the Aussies weren't too. too happy about Matt Stafford, the MVP. of the entire league, going down there. and just throwing meatball subs like. Debb just showed around the yard. especially when Miles Garrett being. another one of the biggest story lines. just basically out there running around. Uh but I do think that overall the. Aussies were definitely jacked up. because it feels like they are now.

completely a part of the 49ers nation. >> Hey, NerS are a good team for the. Aussies to like very physical fly around. going to be good. I think that's a good. >> Yeah, a lot of shies. They'll do it over. there. KD was perfect for the Aussies to. fall in love with not only him but. everybody else. Christian McAffrey had a. hilarious line about what they said to. him over there. It feels like maybe the. Niners are Australia's team. So maybe. long term Shawn McVey knew that. >> Shawn McVey said, "We'll be the bad. guys. We'll come in there. We'll stink. to join up. We'll put you over. Okay, we'll [ __ ]. >> Yeah, they got we're LA right in the.

shite division.". >> Yeah. We'll end up in a shite division. as Super Bowl odds on favorites. We. would like to say that we anybody could. get it. >> Yeah. >> Rams odds on favorite in the shite. division. That should be talked about, AJ. Nobody ever really chats about us. being stern. but fair. >> Always. We've always been stern but. fair. But could this be like the long. game Shawn McVey is playing saying, "Hey, if we go out there and we get. rocked, they won't put us up for. international games anymore. Hopefully. we don't play many of these in the. future.". >> Oh, this is like Debut doing special.

teams reps. He's sabotaging basically. >> Huh. >> Have you I've heard of people say like, "Oh, yeah. I I uh you know, when I was. changing my kid's diaper at a young age, my kid rolled and fell off the the. table. I was changing the diaper. My. wife doesn't let me change diapers. anymore. And I'm like, "All right, buddy. I You probably shouldn't be the. father of that child." But yeah, I've. heard people say that. >> Yeah, it sounds like you were trying to. not do it anymore, but let's not put the. kid at risk to show. >> like a Herb Street move. >> What's a What's a dad doing the first. six, seven months anyways?

What are we doing? That was one of the. one of the most hilarious things I've. ever heard him say. And then he just. >> Really? Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I have multiple kids. I'm still. wondering. I still don't know what's. going on. Uh, okay. So, the Rams maybe. not dead. Niners certainly ball out. That's some good D with D. Buck. Is. there any other good D that we need to. talk about? >> Before we move on, 49ers, it's always. about healthy. If they can stay healthy, you keep Bosa, Fred Warner, and those. guys on the field. KD, obviously Perty. and like McCaffrey, they have the roster. top to bottom to go out and compete. And.

obviously the coaching staff as well. with that addition Rahee Morris on the. defensive side. Let's stay in the NFC. West though. Big time win. What was the. stat yesterday? biggest underdog upset. since 92 or something like that, which. is absolutely crazy. Defense much. improved, offense much improved. It's a. big time pick. What's his nickname? What. do they call him out there? >> Dwey. >> Okay, this is Dwey Winger. He's uh last. I remember him Jaguars defender now. coming over here making a big time play. So, you'll see it once again a split. safety coverage. Buddha Baker at the. Baker at the bottom of the screen. He's.

a safety down here. And as Herbert kind. of rolls out, I don't know if this was. the pressure or if this was the design, but he rolls out and run it back real. quick. Just watch Buddha Baker first. So. watch this safety that's circled at the. bottom near the hash. He's going to take. away this seven route, this outbreaking. route. And once Justin Herbert sees. that, that lets him know, okay, I'm. going to take I'm going to go deep to my. outside receiver. He has leverage on the. corner. He doesn't account for that. overlapping safety finding work, as we. called it as the other deep safety on.

the opposite side of the field. Rarely. does that quarterback account for him. He puts too much air on the ball and. Odwie goes up and gets it. Big time. play. High pointing and making a play. >> So, he was not supposed to be there. He. was supposed to be taken up by Q. Uh. Quinton Johnson on the left side. Runs. like a deep in. It seems like he's not. supposed to be over there. In Justin. Herbert's mind, he is completely free. one-on-one out there. If I can hit him. deep, his touchdown. >> Yeah. So, when you're that deep safety, you know, you've got to have a feel for. the routes. And I don't know what. adjustments were made. Maybe pre- snap, he just told that backside corner, hey, lock it. that's yours with that cut.

split. But having that vision as a deep. safety, your your indicator comes from. the quarterback. Like that's what you're. reading. You're not looking at a man per. se. You it's a it's a big protection. So. it's not that many routes down the. field. You only have one deep threat to. your side, to that front side. So you're. reading the quarterback. So once you see. Herbert set up, you know exactly where. he's going with this ball. We call it. breaking the egg, pulling the arm, putting that hand, that front hand off. the ball, and you just react. These are. drills you'll see at the combine for. deep safeties. Hey, open your hips this. way. open your hips that way, get to the.

ball, and make a play. So, this is like. a a practice individual rep almost, but. he stayed, never broke stride, and went. up there and made a big time play. >> So, the Cardinals aren't ass. >> They're playing good football. Playing. good football. Obviously, it's only week. one, but uh AQ, one of his big takeaways. was defensively, he felt like they. played much better than most people. expected. >> You like this team, huh, AQ? You you. didn't really love them last year. No, no, no. Don't say it was hard for you to. have to go on and say it maybe they. >> but it was off air you were very much.

like this team. >> this team not good. This is a tough team. to be a fan of because you are fan of. team I believe you live there. You. obviously call their games. You think. from my understanding you're a huge fan. of the way this team is operating right. now. >> Offensively the way they're built on. paper roster-wise very very good. They're going to put up points. The. question comes down to the defense. Can. Josh Schwe have another double-digit. year in sacks? Can M. Wilson continue to. play like he did in week one and Buddha. Baker obviously with him and Dewey. Wingert. Can Will Johnson, can Denzel.

Burke, can these guys at the cornerback. position live up? If the defense does. their job, the Arizona Cardinals will be. in it. >> So, we had Mike Laflur on the other day. We're very thankful for that. Thank you. I believe you helped us out in that. entirety as well. It was pretty apparent. like he didn't love that he was doing an. interview and they're trying to build. something new, but he does watch program. from my understanding. So, we were very. grateful he came on. But as we were. talking to him, I'm like, "Oh no, is. this the only time this year we're going. to be able to talk to this guy?" Like. >> there's a chance. >> is is this going to you know what I. mean? Is our week one overreaction that.

how much we've loved the Arizona. Cardinals or are they this year. >> going to actually continue to be a good. football team? Sounds like from what. AQ's saying and what Debbut's saying. here, sound football, not just like kind. of a lucky win, AJ. >> Yeah, I think so. It could be. I mean, we will see a lot this week, I think, from them to see if they can rebound or. continue their success. But I I thought. you meant that's the last time we're. going to talk to the floor because he's. such a football guy. Like, he's grinding. all the time. There's no way he's going. to agree to another interview. >> Yeah, definitely never going to talk to. him again. But I just thought to myself. while we were talking to him like, man,

undefeated coach right now. They're. still in the NFC West. >> Their schedule is brutal. their next. like eight weeks are brutal. >> Which their beat reporters say if they. can steal two in the first 11 weeks, maybe he's still like, "Yeah, all right. They still won." Let's see. Maybe that's. how he feels. >> probably. >> But from my perspective, from what you. guys are saying that have watched every. single rep, sound football happening. I. think you win games whenever you play. sound football as opposed to just. gimmick football. Happy for the. Cardinals. Also happy for that team over. there in uh the Shadows of New York.

City. >> Oh, wow. Yeah. talking about sound. football. They play sound football on. both sides of the ball as well. New. defensive coordinator Dinard Wilson. coming over here. So, this uh this kind. of starts with with pressure up front. We always talk about marrying the. pressure up front with the coverage on. the back end. Abdul Carter lined up as a. tackle pass rusher. Look at the. situation down here. We were talking. about it earlier with the sit rep from. the Bears. This is 58 seconds left in. the first half. So, a two-minute. situation. Offense is on their side of. the field. Third and five. Money down. So, this is a critical down. Now, you.

you got your pass. You call this NASCAR. So you got your pass rushers on the. field. Watch the immediate pressure that. Carter puts on the field and then the. job that Kavon Tibido does on the. outside to keep the edge on Dak Prescott. and not let him break the pocket. And. then on the back end, it's kind of. becomes a scramble plaster drill with. Javon Holland, the safety that they. signed over for Miami a couple years. ago. Didn't have a great year last year, but started off his season with a. big-time pick. I think he's a $20. million a year safety. So high draft. pick, highly paid players showing up.

early and making a big time play. Now, like I said, 77 ball game right now. You. go up, you pressure him out of the. pocket. He's trying to throw this ball. away. He just makes an like if you see. this from the TV copy. Yeah. This this. catch to get his knee down to focus, get. this catch. Now, you give the ball to. your quarterback in your offense right. there and they go down to score. This is. that right before that Isaiah Likely. touchdown where he was wide open in the. back of the end zone. So, this is how. quickly the game, we always talk about. the middle eight when you're talking. college ball. This is how quickly and. critical the game can change. So, this.

is complimentary football. Defense. making a big time stop on the money down. and then the offense taking advantage. and driving down and taking a. seven-point lead going into the half. >> The Shotty sitting right next to this. guy as we get the shot down the line or. the sideline is hilarious. Him not. believing it's a catch. Nah, no way. He. goes, "Nah, nope. No, no way. No way is. that a catch." And I think we all. thought that cuz we assume Dak Prescott. going to throw that away. Y. >> Okay. We assume he's not going to let it. be intercepted. And then whenever we see. there's no way the guy got inbounds and. had control of the ball. There's so many.

things that have to go to that great. ball. >> Very maybe it's the DB skill. >> Yeah, I thought it was a catch. immediately. Just maybe it's the DB. immedi. um Drake May at the end of the game when. he rolled out and you assumed he was. just throwing the ball away because. everybody knows if you watch football, hey, the one thing you can't do here is. throw an interception, trying to throw. it away and then uh Job, I believe, goes. up and making an unbelievable catch and. getting his toes in on the sideline. So, same thing here from Javon Holland. Then. once again, as an offense, getting this.

ball, less than a minute left around. midfield, just driving it down, making. throw after throw, and getting into the. end zone. >> I'll tell you what, Bruce, you guys. might not be ass this year, and you. might be good for the foreseeable. future, especially if Harbaugh's mental. toughness and smart football, who we're. paying in drafting are paying off. You. guys seem like a legit program over. there once again, Bruce. >> Yeah, it it really is crazy. And I'd say. that the questions were more about how. Jackson Dart would evolve into the Matt. Naggie, Greg Roman offense going into. week one. And coming out, it's how great. can this defense be. Um Abdul was.

unbelievable. The the fact he didn't get. a sack is crazy. Um he he was basically. unblockable. Looks a lot like Michael, if you ask me. He looks a lot like. Michael Parson um getting after it. He's. spinning. He's speed rushing. He's. flying around. >> Oh, straight. Michael Straight. >> I thought he was saying straight. No, he. >> No. M Mike Parsons. >> Michael. >> Oh, you meant Michael. >> Yes, I meant Michael. Nitney Lion. >> You trade one Michael. You can get five. different players. >> Mhm. >> You tell me. Five guys, one guy named.

Michael. What's better? >> They could have used Michael on Sunday. night. >> Yeah, they could. I KNOW THAT. >> HEY, THEY COULDN'T GET A STOP, COULD. THEY? >> NO, THEY COULDN'T. >> HEY, WHEN'S Michael playing? >> He's going to be back for the Bears. game. Week five. Everyone's saying week. six. Cowboys. He'll be back for the. Bears game. >> What's your guys record by then? >> No. Three and two. Oh, really? >> I think so. >> Got to win the Jets game on Sunday and. then they play the Falcons after that. >> Jets much improved. But I don't get you got to you got to.

beat the Jets. I get it. >> What about the Falcons? Oh my god. >> Yeah, you can't lose that [ __ ] game. That's for sure. Definitely not at home. >> Falcons weren't in the Shite division. >> They could have been. >> Well, it was Tone. >> It was a tight one. If Cooper Rush is. the starting quarterback, they're the. worst team in the league potentially. >> Okay, put Jack Strand in there then. >> Yeah. >> I mean, why why not? It can't get worse. >> Bean's really really good, though. >> Yeah. Well, there was a time where he. wasn't getting on the field for that. team. >> I believe he Oh, what was what was the.

stat I gave you? He had 29 touches out. of his 44 snaps or something like that. >> I like that. Get them on the field, get. him the ball. That's what you do with. your good players. >> Oh, yeah. >> And Jack Strand knows that. Michael. Pennix and Tua. I think they did a lot. of favors just sitting on the sideline. the way they looked. I I saw a lot of. Atlanta Falcons. >> They were having a good time together. >> That's what they were saying. Not one. word of [ __ ] motivation from either. of these guys. It's like. >> they were just jacking around together. the entire game. >> Yeah, but they weren't live streaming. them. I assume there was moments where. that weren't caught on camera where they. were saying, "Hey, we're more out of.

you." Or, "Cooper, of course, you're. doing great." I assume there was a. little bit of that happen. We just. didn't see it. What we saw them doing. was very casual, comfortable. >> Mhm. >> Taking the cooling bench away from. whoever wasn't on the field hanging out. And I think after you lose that game and. look the way you look, >> I think people are going to kill two and. Pennix for a while. I think they're. going to have to win some games. >> And Cooper Kush, >> what tone? >> I mean, that might be the worst. quarterback game I've ever seen.

>> ever. M. >> Neil O'Donnell Super Bowl. >> Well, he was paid to do that. Allegedly. Pittsburgh say that's what people that's. not true. That is a Pittsburgh Steelers. fan thinking that Neil O'Donnell. couldn't have played that [ __ ] bad in. the Super Bowl. >> He was on the take. >> That's what everybody in Pittsburgh. says. That's not real. We are not saying. that about Neil. Once again, Neil. O'Donnell took the Steelers to the Super. Bowl. That that does not get remembered.

at all in the conversation which we AQ. probably on your side of town. Same. thing every. >> Oh yeah, everybody. Everybody in. Pittsburgh. That was I mean he got the. guy paid. He gave him a Super Bowl MVP. G everything. Two pick sixes and they. lost by 13 points. So you tell me. >> Yeah. It's tough outing for Neil. O'Donnell who was had a had a great run. to get the Steelers to the Super Bowl. You're saying Cooper Kush played worse. than that? >> Yeah, it was it was really bad, man. He. couldn't throw anything other than, you. know, a couple swings and screens to. Bean and then, you know, you see what. happens when he tried to do that too.

much. He threw another horrendous. interception in the game, too. It was so. bad. Was Jack Strand suited and booted. or. >> He was suited and booted. He was number. two. >> Did the Pittsburgh Steelers make their. way on good D? Because it sounds like. they could potentially had their way. with. >> No, they did. I thought about putting. this one on it, but you know, it's not a. DB, so I'm showing DB's love early. >> Okay. >> No Zack Bond for the Eagles. Nope. >> No TJ Watt. >> Both defensive players of the week. Congrats to them. I think we broke this. news. >> Oh, hell yeah. >> I think we did earlier today.

>> I think we broke this news. Do you see. that age? We came off hot with that. Didn't expect that to be the open until. I read a text from a number I didn't. know. Shout out to that person from NFL. saying, "Hey, this just went out, you. know, just thought you'd have eyes on it. or this is about to go out. Thought. you'd have eyes on it. Looked down. >> You wouldn't have sent that to me. unless.". So, we really took some liberties there. and just [ __ ] ran that thing, you. know, sent over exactly what they did. But. >> [ __ ] it. >> If we could do that every week, we'd. love to do this.

>> Absolutely. >> These are huge deals. AJ legitimately in. locker room, in team everywhere. This is. going to be celebrated mightily for. these guys. And also week one means you. this these are pros here, right? Showing. up playing their absolute best football. to start this entirety. Good for all of. them and good for their teams that. obviously have success. AJ. >> Yeah, Zack Bond. He's a guy that I I. mean he continues to play well and he's. fun to watch. He really is. He seems to. have settled in like he's the guy there. in the middle for the Eagles and I just. I don't know why he's it's fun to watch. him just how his career has progressed.

and how great of a player he is now. Man, he's he's going to be good for a. long time. >> Evan McFersonson for the Cincinnati. Bengals. We talked about it. A lot of. turnovers for that defense. They look. different. Bring sexy Dexi over there. Congrats to them getting a big win on. the offensive side of the ball. We just. assume it's only going to get better and. better as the season goes on. Then we. get some news out of Cincinnati Bengals. practice today that Joe Burrow may be a. little banged up. Joe might be a little. bit banged up. Yeah, the tweet basically. says, "Hey, he didn't do this and then. he wasn't throwing any purposeful balls.

and then he goes over and talks to Zack. Taylor and it looked like he was mossing. a little bit." Obviously, this is only. Wednesday, which is normally the first. day of practice, first day of real work. for a team. So maybe he is just taking. it back or scheduled to take it down a. little a notch or two. But reports. coming out of Cincinnati are saying Joe. Burrow does not look 100% healthy here. week two of the NFL season, which is. obviously not great news. I texted. Sheffy to ask him if he's got anything. on this or if he's heard anything. Uh. we're going to cold call him right now. because we just the tweet got sent into.

the group within the last hour. But. there might be a little something. brewing with old Joey Burrow right now. AJ Hawk. >> Yeah, I hope not. I know in the uh the. clip that they put out with just a. little I know the media is available. like the first like 10 15 minutes of. practice when they say no purpose for. balls. That's what kind of confuses me. I guess he he kind of just threw like a. couple little balls like he a guy that. was coming off a some kind of arm injury. I feel like. >> Yeah. Let me uh let's find the tweet. here so we can read this accurately. Uh. Mike Petrolia at TRA says Joe Burrow.

didn't take part in stretch and isn't. throwing with purpose and spoke with. Zack Taylor. Now does he always. participate in stretch? I'm not 100%. sure. I tried to miss that as often as. possible. You know, I I didn't really uh. that wasn't my favorite part. Still. don't know how to stretch. Probably. going to affect me later in life. But. does Joey B have his own warm-up without. stretch? I guess Trags wouldn't point. that out if that wasn't a storyline. and. then saying he didn't have any per throw. with any purpose and spoke with staff.

What does that mean debut to you? You. think it's just maybe a Gday here? >> Nah, way too early in my opinion for for. a G day. You talking Wednesdays, you're. talking about these starting. quarterbacks, they want to take every. rep. Uh most starting quarterbacks in AQ. would be more familiar than this one I. would. They get out there early taking. snaps and [ __ ] like that. I don't know. if they're necessarily always in like. the stretch lines with everyone else, but yeah, the not throwing purposeful. balls would be the most concerning thing. Wednesday going into week two. >> Yeah. So, we're watching the backup. quarterbacks here. Is that Joey Flack? Joe Flackaco taking some steps and then.

throwing a deep ball. Maybe this is just. what Joe Flack wants to do as opposed to. what Joey Burr wants to do. >> Could be. Could be. I think we really. need to get to the bottom of this. though. We need to get Ben Baby on the. horn at some point. >> Boom. >> Okay, we'll definitely reach out to Ben. Baby. I believe we're reaching out to. Adam Shfter right now who we facetimed. It sounded like Shite, so we sent him a. Zoom link. Let's see if he's able to get. on that. You know, we never know what. Shfter's in the middle of. >> legitimately. Yeah, >> Sheffer could be in the middle of. anything right now. Like you, >> he's always in the car. Every time I see. him, he's always in the car.

>> Yeah. Too much. >> Exactly. He's in the car. He's in the. middle of uh maybe working out when we. see him. He'll go to his office. Is he. writing a a journal diary entry there at. the same time? >> Cuz we know he does that every single. night. You know, it's a it's a lot. Hey. Hey, Bruce. Is he going to join us or. are we going to um what is happening. here? Just so I can kind of know as I'm. sitting up here just talking nothing as. we try to fill time here. >> Um yeah. So our S Safari version no. longer supports Gmail. So that that. threw a bit of a a wrench towards me.

But yes, he is he is going to join. >> Our our Safari doesn't support Gmail. >> Yeah, we haven't updated our Safari on. this computer in a while and I guess it. no longer supports Gmail. So I opened. Gmail and it popped up, but then I just. couldn't click on any of the buttons. So. the compose button to send an email, it. wasn't working. >> Okay. So you couldn't get the Zoom link. too, Chefty. Okay. I appreciate you. Uh, >> now you know the new iPhone's coming out. because all of our iPhones aren't. working anymore. >> Bingo. That's. >> right. But it they've come Exactly. They've come out and said that's not. true. It is.

>> Yeah, without a doubt. >> We [ __ ] all live it every single. time. We're super pumped for you. Okay. We're super pumped you got a new one. coming out. Heard it's awesome. Sucks. that my phone has to suck until that. happens. Did you see they're doing Apple. Watch iPods? >> I did see that. Yes. >> Apple Watch. >> Instead of the watch, you know how it's. a little square? Huh? They're building a. thing that is an iPod basically. You put. on top of it and then it can operate. with a dial and a turn and a whole. >> Yeah, you can like take it off. You can. take it off of the watch and then you. put it into this contraption that just. makes it into an iPod.

>> Oh, >> that's stupid. >> You don't know folding phone. I don't. need a [ __ ]. >> You wear it on your wrist. >> What? So, >> I think it's fun. Take a trip back in. time. Remember we all had those? I. remember Steve Jobs like it was. yesterday with a super [ __ ]. turtleneck on saying we're going to call. it the iPod. >> at the time. That was sweet. >> Mhm. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. We're taking a trip back in time. right now. Nike's going back to Miami. >> Don't need to. Nike is not [ __ ].

technology. That's clothing. That's. fine. We can take a trip back in time. What the hell are we do? I mean, >> and how should we view this? Is this. Tim's final or is this the new person's. first? >> That's a great question. >> Got to be Tim's final. I'm assuming all. this stuff's the final. Yeah, like even. the foldable phone. >> Shouldn't he have stuck around at least. until those things go? >> No, it's John Stein. It's just like Tim. like remember for the first how many. years was the stuff Tim was releasing. was still Steve? >> Yeah. How long was Tim Donner? I know he. plus 1,431%.

or something in value. I forget what it. was. He he did pretty well. This I'll. tell you what, I could not have never. expected what we're doing right now. Trying to get a guy onto a Zoom. >> I mean, it's [ __ ]. >> I'm not seeing video now. That's my. update. Yeah, I haven't asked Bruce. what's going on yet. >> Bangles got the Texans coming up, I. believe, by the way. >> No problem there. No problem there. >> 31 a 36 point performance, too. >> Yeah, that's certainly who you'd like to. see. You know, >> bash Joey Bee's brains in. >> Yeah. >> Come on. Come on. >> Tim Cook's been at Apple for 28 years.

>> Dang. >> So, a lot has happened. Yeah. >> How long CEO? >> He's been the uh he transitioned to. executive chairman of the board in 2026. He was the CEO from 2011 to 2026. >> 15. >> 15. That's a good run there. >> John's been there since 2001. >> And now he just got his opportunity. what, two months ago? >> Yep. >> What's his name? >> John Turnis. >> 25 years until he got his opportunity in. US. >> Yeah. I mean, he was a senior vice. president hardware engineering. So he. was, you know, >> he was doing okay.

>> He was around for the first iPod. >> Yeah. You know, now ladies and. gentlemen, joining us now, >> the man Adam Shfter. >> Chefy. >> Chefy, sorry about the chaos and the. confusion in the middle of your day. Thank you for joining us and looking so. spectacular. I guess the new Safari. doesn't or the old Safari doesn't handle. new Gmail. We need to update our Safari. so we can get you a Zoom link and then. the video. You need to turn on a camera. Okay. I think that's what you need to. do. Let's get back to. >> I've been doing that. >> No, it's not right. I've been doing. that. No, I watched it right here. You. did have a camera on. So that that's. just what I saw. I'm just letting you.

know that's what I saw. Bruce certainly. not one that doesn't take any blame in. this situation, but I watched you. I. watched it all. I just happened right. >> It's a tricky new camera. We're We're. getting it. >> Yeah, you look unbelievable. You are. glowing and we need some information out. of you. What the hell is going on with. Joey Burrow? Is Joey Burrow okay? And. should we be worried about what we are. hearing from at Trags where he's saying. no warm-up, no purposeful throws, and. he's talking to staff. What do we make. from this? And what are you hearing? Well, obviously it's an issue if Joe. Burrow is not practicing at the start of.

the work week on a Wednesday. He is in. uniform. He is on the practice field, so. that's a good sign. Now, there was a. play early in the game where he went. down on his elbow and there was some. blood and it looked like he jammed his. elbow, which could be shoulder. You. don't know whether it's the elbow or the. shoulder. Here's the deal. When it's the. quarterback, all eyes are going to be on. him and they're going to have to issue. the injury report here postpractice and. say whether it's an elbow or a shoulder. injury. But I anticipate that it's going. to be one of those two because he's not.

throwing the football at practice today. You got Joe Flacco out there taking the. reps with the Bengals. So. my guess is that it is connected to what. happened to Burrow earlier in the game. when he banged that elbow, whether it's. the elbow or the shoulder and he had. blood coming out. That's my guess. And. the fact that he's out there in uniform. despite the fact that he's not taking. throws, that's an encouraging sign. Doesn't mean he's playing Sunday, but. the fact that he's out there tells me.

it's not a significant injury. >> Okay, so this is all happening in real. time and obviously we appreciate Trag's. video. We appreciate you trying to track. it down. We appreciate you figuring out. your camera, coming on here and telling. us the latest and greatest. They have to. give a report after practice. When will. you learn? They have to give a report. after practice. When will you actually. get like more information? Should we. expect this to be kind of uh aloof all. week on what's going to happen or should. we know pretty soon. >> any moment? >> Oh. >> Uhhuh. >> Well, I I think there'll be information.

that filters in this afternoon what the. Bengals are designating injury and now. that people know that Joe Burrow. obviously has something wrong that. there'll be constant updates about his. status for the remainder of the week and. that will become one of the central. story lines leading into Sunday's game. Now, I mean, that's it's just it was. nobody realized that he was hurt there. on the elbow. You see him come down on. it. Um, but now people know there's an. issue cuz he's not practicing on. Wednesday. So, it's going to be. something that everybody is going to be.

tracking from this point on. >> You're the best. We can't wait to see. what the hell comes of it. This is not. good. >> No, this is not good for the Cincinnati. Bengals who obviously start this season. differently than they have in the past. They normally start slow. Joey Burrow. healthy through all of camp. This is a. different day. different day for him to. get banged up. Don't love that. Especially if it's throwing arm. Go. ahead, Shifty. >> No, I was just going to say like that. was such a key thing for them all year. for him to be healthy because that's. been an issue every year and he has got. to be healthy for this team to have the.

kind of year that everybody wants them. to have. And and if he's not healthy, then that's going to be a problem for. this team. >> You're the best. We appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. That's Adam Shft. >> Took longer to set up than him. Come on, show. I know he's going to hate that. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. He's not going to be happy about. that. >> No. >> I'm trying to get the [ __ ]. information right now. You have me come. on here and do this whole song and. dance. Got to turn on my camera. I can't. even hear me. It glitches. And then I. could be finding out this information. right now. I do think this is quite a. developing story here. >> Oh yeah. >> Yeah. >> There's no question about it. Whenever.

you look at all the quarterbacks I. played with, 80% of them took Wednesdays. off, whether it was week one or whether. it was week 10. And then. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. And then what we would do like so. Carson Palmer, Tom Brady, right? I think. they were all older guys, played a long. time. Then what we would do was we would. make Wednesday our spider non-padded. day. They wanted to get the reps in with. pads, put shoulder pads on them on. Thursday so they got the reps with. shoulder pads and then go back to. spiders or no no pads on Friday.

>> Okay, so this might not be anything. >> Might not be anything. >> Okay, maybe it's just. >> looked really awkward though. Even when. he came down, it looked weird and also. like what the [ __ ] are you doing? I. don't know if it was third down, so. maybe he was going for a first down, but. what the [ __ ] are we doing? We we we sp. how long do we spend talking about. Jackson Dart needing to get down like. he's kind of in the same category at. this point. >> Football Angelone is a bat out of hell. coming for his head. >> It was third and six, so he got first. down for his team. >> Okay, fair enough. >> He's in front of the jungle, too. So, he's definitely going to go for sure.

But yes, we all think the same thing. about Joe. It's a lot better when you're. on the field. I can't wait to hear what. the reports are after practice. I can't. wait to hear what the injuries are, but. if that was it where he jams himself in. there on his throwing arm, that's going. to be uh certainly something in an AFC. North that has a lot of question marks. AFC North has a lot of question marks. The only truth might be that team in. both that is now the Pittsburgh Steelers. obviously get a huge win. >> Massive. >> huge win. Tone, why don't you come join.

us out here as a undefeated Pittsburgh. Steelers fan and also your hair looked. great today. Yeah. >> Unbelievable. >> Well done, Tony. >> Good job. >> Well done, Tone. >> Yeah. Yeah. Unbelievable. Tony D, >> baby. >> Good to see you. >> Get out. >> I like Shine. Chef's still here, by the. way. He's still sitting on If we want to. get out if we want to go back to Chefy. Shey, everything good? You find out.

anything? You learn? >> More news. >> More news. >> More news. Okay. >> Yeah. >> [ __ ]. >> Yeah. Sam Darnold ruled out for Sunday's. game against the Cardinals. He's out. What's going on with that shot here? It. should be clear. WHAT'S WHAT'S THE DEAL? >> IT'S NOT. OKAY. Thank you. Your message. was clear that we heard of Sam Darnold. ruled out this weekend against. Cardinals. It will be bodyguard Drew. Lock back in there. Uh, that's official. news. Cheffy's going to be. >> Oh, YEAH. >> [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ]. >> YEAH, HE'S going nuts right now.

>> He's the best. Thank you for staying on. top of that, Chef. Uh, >> thank you to all the insiders that don't. sleep. >> Wow. >> Just have multiple phones. >> Yep. >> Always in it for us so they can put. their [ __ ] up first. Excited to hear if. it's anything with Joe Burrow or we just. took a day off. Tone, before we wrap up, don't you think we should uh see if AQ. can win some people some money? >> What do you think? You think he should. be You think he should be wrap up? >> You think he should be streaming. basketball or football? What do you. think he should be doing here? >> [ __ ] basketball.

>> Okay. Football season. Okay. Uh, I don't. know if you guys saw Tyrese Hallebertton. all the way back. >> Did see that. >> Yeah, he's got highlights looking. exactly like how Tyrese Hallebertton. >> I saw him wearing the Reggie Miller. jersey backwards. It was sick. >> Yeah, I mean that's what Tyrese. Hallebertton does. He's super high. fashion. He's obviously super high. quality basketball player. It's going to. be great to have him back. He returns. from a torn Achilles that happened in. game seven of the NBA finals uh in which. he was potentially going to go on and. have 50 points. Indiana Pacers being. mocked and ridiculed in the Eastern. Conference and his return is on the.

zone, right? >> Yeah, that's right. Against the Pelicans. or something. >> in the middle of the day or something. like that. >> Y. >> which Tyrese came out and said. >> okay. All right. >> Yeah. >> Thanks. >> Noon tip. >> Noon. Yeah. Noon tip on the zone. I. think you have. >> noon tip. Yeah. On a Wednesday. >> I mean it could be actually a 10:00 a.m. tip on the zone there. >> or midnight. So, I mean just the. disrespect is just continuing towards. Tyrese Hallebertton who if we can all. recall and take a trip back in time. He.

was the NBA playoff. I mean Oh, yeah. Every moment he was the one creating. >> most buzzer beers ever in one playoff. run. >> Yeah. And they were all [ __ ] I mean. obviously buzzer beaters in the playoffs. are awesome, but his were just like. somehow even more dramatic than they're. supposed to be, which is his style of. play. He is a showman. He's an. entertainer. He's very good for our city. and our team. There's going to be a lot. to pull from for Carile. Not a lot of. respect for the Pacers. So, I understand. you're saying [ __ ] basketball, but I. like to say. >> [ __ ] the way people are talking about. the Pacers this year in basketball. I.

don't like that one bit. Okay. AQ. >> with the for the brand ball. Which hoop. are you throwing towards? This one over. here. Did you practice beforehand? I saw. that zero preparation.

I know we've gone. through a bunch of different like. transformations over the last few years. I think you look great. >> New tattoos. >> Fluctuating. Fluctuating. Yeah. I got a. new one. >> Did you get your forearm done? >> Yeah. >> New shoes. That looks really cool. >> Yeah, that looks sweet.

No. >> Okay. >> I want to let everybody know if I show. up at potentially lot of jerk. It's four. Jurgens bottles. this guy went through. during his tattoo 17 hour period. So, you gota do you gota do a great great. thrust that was on camera. Thank you for. showcasing everybody what's possible. Um. I'm gonna come back and I'm gonna have a. full sleeve one day.

Yep. >> You know, >> this is going to be a sleeve when it's. all done. So, it's going to be. >> Are you going to get an IV and go under? >> No. You going to stay up like me? >> Just like you. >> Thank you for doing that. >> Jurgens on the bicep.

A guy had uh be a. friend, tell a friend something nice in. my change your life tattooed right here. at the Texas game. Very cool of him to. do that. >> Uh he asked if I would sign it, you. know, and he was going to get my. signature tattooed. >> He does that with remnants of lotion. around. >> Oh, sure. >> Yeah. Like tear drops. >> Little dots of lotion. Just kind of.

That's a good. idea. Okay, we maybe I'll do that for my. for my sleeve that I get. >> one of those up. >> Say getting the IV done. >> All right, AQ, why don't you try to win. some people some money right now? All. you got to do is throw the uh elephant. Okay. Uh the elephant in the room is. that uh you can remember everything. >> Okay. I tell my daughter that every. single morning whenever we drop her off.

If I say. you're allowed to remember everything. Okay, let's go ahead and try to do that. That's what the elephant does. And what. this elephant wants to remember on this. day, this Watt Wednesday, is that AQ. Shipley put that football into that hoop. right over there and won. 20 people $500. >> All right. >> All you got to do, AQ, is put that. football into that hoop right over.

If you miss it though, those. 20 people. >> going to hate my guts. >> Mhm. I. >> maybe kill you. >> No. >> Yeah, >> we don't want that. >> Yeah, there's chance. I mean, that's. something to think about as you throw. this. We don't know. People are a little. bit uh on on till a little bit, you. know, some people. So, there's a chance. that they thought they were going to. guarantee to win this randomly selected. $500, which 20 people will win. All you.

have to do is uh repost this video, say. something nice to somebody, and put the. easiest way to pay you digitally, and uh. you could potentially be one of those 20. winners. But if he doesn't make this, he's spitting in everybody's face. That's what they're saying. Ain't that. what they're saying? Tone doesn't want. to do a giveaway. >> No, >> I don't know if the talks table wants to. do a giveaway either, especially after. the weekend. >> Definitely not. >> Don't really care. >> Okay, I like that.
