The Pat McAfee Show | Wednesday, September 18th

travelled to Tulane for tomorrow night's. football game on ESPN that I'll be so. luckily calling alongside Matt. Hasselbeck Adam Amin and Molly McGrath. we literally just got here. rolled into this box truck that is up. and running three minutes ago because. there was quite an accident on the. highway that we could not account for. whenever we were scheduling the trip. here we're excited to be chatting with. you today about so much happening in. sports. Daniel Jones is officially the New York. Giants starter we broke that news.

yesterday we didn't get a chance to. digest it much but now it's time the Eli. Manning era is over in the New York. Giants organization also dak Prescott. and Jerry Jones negotiations have been. put on hold I've been told and we could. have predicted this just a couple days. ago because Jerry Jones he's one of the. best negotiators in history there's no. way in hell he's gonna negotiate a deal. after death Prescott just played his. best two games he's ever played as a. football player he's gonna wait until.

dak Prescott potentially falls off the. mountain and as soon as that happens. Jerry's gonna slide into his agents DMS. and say hey you want to talk now huh you. want to save it now you want to work a. deal now that he's thrown a couple. interceptions cuz that Prescott looks. unbelievable. if you know anything about Jerry Jones. you know he's an incredible businessman. now would not be the time to talk to dak. because dak is riding what we like to. call a heater and you never walk away. from a heater speaking of the heater.

this box truck we're in is about to get. hot I feel that already we're in New. Orleans it's a bit thick down here we. have Charlie Batch calling in at 10:15. talk all things Pittsburgh Steelers with. Ben Roethlisberger out for the year. Mason Rudolph now the guy they trade for. Minka Fitzpatrick they don't seem to be. given up because their quarterbacks. elbow did wane taken that's what dick. says who knows if that's true though or. not. Dolphins still suck Charlie Batch also. in the locker room when Barry Sanders. decided to retire we'll talk about that. especially with the Andrew Luck quick.

retirement thing I can't wait to hear. his take on that Dana Holgorsen used to. be the coach for WVU for a while place I. want to he left in bad bad I mean two. Bad's is a bit much but he left in not. great terms with West Virginia. he'll be joining us at 11:15 he's the. coach of Houston I can't wait to tell. them because by the way when I left West. Virginia wasn't great terms either I. mean I got like 27 death threats or. something mostly my fault. I would assume Dana would say it's. mostly his phone as well can't wait to. chat all m15 also all of the things. happening in the world you can call us.

we won't be able to answer it so other. than that let's have an incredible. Wednesday foxy place him chase Rhys. it all works. it all worked. [Music].

I can't believe everything is working. correctly. I cannot believe an incredible work by. ol Petro our English friend who built. the Steve Joe back in Indianapolis. traveled down here to New Orleans to fix. the box truck up we got here late but it. doesn't matter Anthony - Gilly Oh Diggs. is joining me here Zito is on the. graphics he also has a live mic that is. tiny I can't wait to hear from him foxy.

and Ty we can't wait to chat with you. today this dak Prescott Jerry Jones. thing is very interesting to me because. Jerry Jones whenever he was talking to. Joe Buck on that show I think it's. called uh I know it's like unfilter or. Dan Patrick is now the host of it it was. on the access network it was a lot of. guests where Jill buck it was like an. intimate conversation in front of a. small theater and I got a chance to. watch and listen to Jerry Jones talk on. there was one I too am I was watching it. was late night I was probably uh.

either coming down from being. intoxicated or going up to being high. something like that I couldn't sleep and. Joe Buck talked Jerry Jones about him. going all in with the Dallas Cowboys and. how he was originally in the oil field. but then he went all in with the Dallas. Cowboys and he made his entire gamble on. the Dallas Cowboys and he basically said. there's people if it's a power five and. they're about 270 out and there might be. a little bit of water up there near the. green and they're hitting their second.

shot where they might want to lay up so. they can go in and maybe chip in or a. birdie not me I Drive for the green. every fornicatin exact words every. fornicatin time well granted not his. exact words cuz he didn't have the FCC. regulator but I learned a lot about. Jerry Jones there and then once I got a. chance to play in the league and I got. to survive through the CBA through the. lockout you kind of learned quickly that. Jerry Jones is the guy that's pulling.

the strings for a lot of the decisions. that are being made me in a fill him and. Robert Kraft were basically the two guys. on the other side of the CBA. won the CBA by the way against the NFLPA. and what do you learn about all these. things that Jerry Jones does I mean let. alone the kneeling before the national. anthem I mean Jerry Jones is always. trying to outsmart everybody that's just. why Jerry Jones. has his own deal separate from the other. 31 teams that's why Jerry Jones paid for. the Jerri world out of his own pocket so. he didn't have to hear what anybody else.

had to say listen we're gonna take care. of our fans and I'm not gonna take a. single one of their dollars because if. we start doing bad I don't want to hear. a boy from any fan we didn't use a. single tax dollar but I can get off my. ass. Jerry Jones is always working things in. a proper fashion it feels like always in. this dak Prescott situation there's no. way he could have expected the deck. would somehow become an elite. quarterback in the offseason much like. Lamar Jackson dak Prescott somehow. became an elite quarterback and they're.

like well you're gonna negotiate with. him no way now is not the time everybody. seen Pawn Stars whenever things are hot. it's not the time to negotiate it you're. gonna wait and see if dak Prescott can. get cold but we'll deck Prescott Dakota. I'm not sure this Dallas Cowboys team. looks like a real team if they go on to. win he's gonna have to pay deck that. next big figure that nobody else has. looking back on it Jerry's probably. thinking that he should have probably. paid dak before the season because they. started off with a giant's horrendous. defense Redskins not great and now they.

have the Dolphins coming up so it's not. like he's not able to negotiate with dak. who just traded Minka out dak Prescott. is about to throw for 400 yards good for. dak Prescott I hope he gets his money. good for the Cowboys finally not being. overhyped and I say this as a radio show. host that's not only national but also. global shout-out to Germany Italy Canada. mostly a lot of military people watching. and listen and we appreciate your. service I don't know if I'm allowed to. do that without Todd here kind of like.

appropriating a culture there and I. apologize for that. I just you know every time I think of. the military and I just have to give one. of those that makes me feel tougher. although I'm not tough enough to join a. military I don't have enough guts ACK to. do what you all do so I appreciate the. women and men to join and watch all. around the world and I know the Dallas. Cowboys probably have a lot of fans oh. yeah that are currently listening but I. think they could even agree that every. single year were forced to watch the. Dallas Cowboys on national TV. mostly because granted they're the.

Americas team granted they are also. a very popular team that had a lot of. success in the past but also because. Jerry Jones is the negotiator for the TV. rights for the NFL so if Jerry Jones. doesn't appreciate what you're doing as. a network Jerry Jones potentially can. just pull his day NFL off of your. network so everybody has to kinda you. know tickle the Tosh mitt is literally.

talking about being able to hear. something I mean this is a magical scene. but Jerry Jones is the guy that's Italy. negotiator for the TV right so the. Dallas Cowboys are always gonna be on. national TV for those I mean if you ever. hand in a cookie jar you're gonna get. the most cookies and that's kind of the. way this is all work so we're always. forced to watch it down it's like Notre. Dame we're forced to watch Notre Dame. because of their incredible national TV. deal they negotiated we're forced to. watch these teams and every year it's. like yeah these teams I want you guys to. be good because I'm literally I love the.

game of football and I'm forced to watch. you but every single year you guys think. you guys are bad at football and then. this year it feels like the Dallas. Cowboys are not override it feels like. they're an actually good football team. but for us as a brand new radio show. good for America is forced to watch them. but also good for the Dallas Cowboys for. finally being almost back it feels like. yeah you can almost guarantee that a. 4:25 on Sunday that the the that Joe. Buck and Troy Aikman are we calling a. Cowboys game I think they are like I. think they are good this year they have.

they have Zeke they have dak they have. Amar'e outside and their defense is. young and flies around four I'll say I. used to I just love to hate the Cowboys. cuz they had five Super Bowls that I. didn't want to get into six now that the. Patriots have six I'm fine with it but I. think they have a real real shot. together. I like their team a lot I like their. team a lot and I like that a good. football team is going to be forced down. our throat every single Sunday it's a. watch just for the good of the game New. York Giants another team that gets a lot. of national spotlight because the New. York world is such a big one there's a.

lot of people Daniel Jones now takes the. helm what a feeling it has to be for. Daniel Jones when you get drafted the. hate that comes with it everybody hated. the pick everybody made fun of them take. this nerd from Duke couldn't win a Duke. over Dwayne housekey. is making people pay to go to his draft. party you're gonna take this guy who. couldn't win a damn game over a guy that. won a bunch of games in the big 10. you're gonna take this guy that came. from Peyton Manning's coaches coaching.

tree basically over Dwayne Haskins that. came from the Urban Meyer coaching tree. and everybody's like yeah that's a bad. decision. then Daniel Jones put his little nerdy. head down and worked he's tall he's. athletic he can throw he's smart and. everybody hated the decision including. me I think I made fun of it too late. what are they doing I watch him a. TopGolf he's an athlete i watch him. throw some balls at top golf whenever we. were down there for the Super Bowl with. the zone he was an athlete he was a good. guy but nobody thought he was gonna be.

the guy right because of what happened. to do I think in a game of football. just like in basketball your star. players can carry you to win some games. and football your quarterback can carry. you to win some games especially against. bad teams in college football which. there are I mean now that I'm diving. into the world a little bit more there's. some terrible football teams oh yeah I. think there's a chance I could throw for. probably four or five thousand yards in. college football if I had to. but Daniel Jones showed up at the New. York Giants facility knowing that it was. Eli Manning's team coming from Eli.

Manning's quarterback coach so he. probably knew the lay of the land with. the Manning's what can you say what. can't you say how do you talk to the. Manning's what do you do here probably. wants a Manning passing Academy you. learned a lot of stuff and just stayed. quiet stayed quiet stay quiet and then. whammy now it's his time it's a whole. new world when you wake up as a starting. quarterback in the NFL now everybody's. looking at you hey whenever we used to. do this with this play what will you. what do you want to do now and you're. just this young kid and the team meeting. that has to step up and say I would.

rather we do this instead of this and if. there's even just a little bit of. hesitancy in your voice if they sense. any fear at all everybody's gonna be. like he's a fraud he's fake and instead. it feels like the entire team is. rallying behind him Darius Butler was on. get up a couple days ago I think it was. August 29th he said I want to see Daniel. Jones now he said this team is gonna. stink if I'm a young football player I. want to see Daniel Jones now I want to. know if we have our guy for the future. say Quan Barclay he wants to know that. his years aren't being wasted great now.

that there's a young guy that can come. and an offense and play in the NFL who. knows if he can come to the Duke right. couldn't win it do ya not really but I. would assume a Duke with that level of. education you're gonna lose some. athleticism aren't you I know buddy I. know got accepted into Duke to play. football right nobody I know that's. pretty good a football got accepted. including me I think they even sent me a. letter they did a little snooping around. and yeah this gets too dumb can't play. okay with that cause it's not like. mahomes won at in college either but I.

think for the Giants after you realize. your season's over after two games the. simple question is do you think Daniel. Jones is gonna learn more by tossing. them in the fire and learning on the. field or do you think he's gonna learn. more by sitting behind Eli and learning. off the field my dad threw me in the. deep end when I was a kid right this is. before I had it blown out of your drum. throny and deep in char figure if you. can swim right your body's naturally. gonna float so let's go ahead and figure. it out but that is kind of what's. happening with Daniel Jones he's getting. tossed right into the deep end here we.

go. we suck everybody hated you let's rally. let's move and hopefully you I'm Manning. will help him hopefully you like Manning. will say hey when this has happened and. this is happening because you know the. year the Peyton Manning was out the year. that we were sucking for the lucking it. was a very interesting year Payton. wasn't around much Payton wasn't in the. quarterback meeting rooms with Curtis. Painter because he was trying to fix his. neck there was one game he came to. Cincinnati he was on the sideline and he. had his polo on his whole thing he was.

sitting right next to the offensive. coordinator and he was looking up at the. jumbotron and he literally would look. out it to Curtis Painter and quad. Christensen who was a great man whose. offense coordinator at the time was just. trying to figure out how to get a team. down the field we obviously didn't. happen because we lost a lot of games. but Peyton was watching the jumbotron he. would see what defense they were in and. he would motion in to Curtis Painter. what they were doing so like it was like. a college often sigh Curtis was I call. the thing and then he would look over at. Peyton and Peyton would be like they. tell you they could draw it up like had.

that ruinous and Curtis Lebec and then. bang we walked right down the field and. scored a touchdown I was like holy hell. like if Peyton was here every single. game I think we could potentially go. undefeated like that's how I felt. whenever he was just dissecting plays on. the jumbotron does Eli Manning have that. same. ability I'm not sure I don't think he. plays much similar to Peyton Manning the. way Peyton would always over dissect and. analyze everything but that brain Eli. Manning has could definitely help Daniel. Jones will he be willing to do it we'll. find out. do you think the New York media will.

give him a break though because it's. like hey these guys stink this year we. know they're not gonna be any good do. you think they'll take that into account. are they gonna come after and if he if. he's garbage do you think Francesa well. that's kind of what I'm dad that's. namely one of the guys I'm talking about. do you think by the way I just got a. text from Todd saying that I'm allowed. to say so he's a Marine so if he said. it's okay I got the StreetPass I get the. G card.

yeah I think we should probably do that. are you live when you said to me I just. whispered in my ear and said we have. Charlie Batch on the other side this guy. who's been a backup quarterback for 11. years in Pittsburgh started for two. years in Alliance at 11,000 yards I. don't know who plays the music here we. got to get to a break we don't have. music we don't have music to break yet. all right there once was a man who had. shown how to get off the ground nobody.

knows and that'll work. yes we'll be back on the other side with. Charlie Batch you're listening to the. primary show.

that's on huh normally we're late oh hey. welcome back to the pike fish show here. Charlie Batch is supposed to be calling. us any minute here. can't wait to chat with him about the. quarterback thing this the quarterbacks. getting hurt is an interesting dynamic. here because Cam Newton's out this.

weekend Andrew Luck retired Drew Brees. is out for six weeks dr. Steve shin did. do his thumb surgery where there was. maybe a question on whether or not he. would be doing it Sean Payton said he's. getting a second opinion there's no. timetable everybody who knows anything. about that injury is saying it's six. weeks I mean Drew Brees and Sean Payton. are gonna come out and say hey maybe not. as long just to keep the hope alive and. we are currently in Teddy Bridgewater. and the Saints town down here everybody. loves the seats we're sitting bumper to.

bumper traffic because a man or a man or. spitter rolled over on the side of the. highway over there so we were just. sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic I. mean it was I never would have guessed. New Orleans is a traffic town big time. traffic down this place loves the Saints. we saw a lot of license plates we saw a. lot of banners on cars I'd even saw one. of them cars that had two flags on it as. if they're going to a tailgate it is. Wednesday there's no reason to have. those flags on your car that you're. driving to work you just want people.

know that who that who that who that. said it all beat the Saints you know. what I mean I love that but right now I. think everybody's potentially gonna beat. the Saints if they don't figure out what. they're gonna do with their offense Drew. Brees out Ben Roethlisberger out Luck's. out Cam Newton's out Luck's out. indefinitely I don't like the thought of. these quarterbacks disappear and Eli. Manning you can get him off of there -. Eli Manning's gone as well it's the NFL. is a whole different place whenever you. don't have quarterbacks you're gonna.

have some low-scoring games maybe some. defensive battles it's not good for. fantasy football it's not good for any. of that. and I heard that Carolina Panthers. they're not even starting will Grier. wasn't doing a boy Huli starting no at. they're starting Kyle Allen never heard. of the guy. it was Kyle Allen he started a game last. year pretty decent 21 to 31 to 66 -. tired. oh that's not bad at all maybe I should. know Colin where did you come from like. Montana Wyoming gee I had a cup of. coffee at Texas A&M then went to Houston. for a little bit yeah pounce around. started two years as freshman sophomore.

at Texas A&M and then got hurt his. junior at Houston in this game out I. mean who cares put will Grier in after. him right kids brothers a youtube star. he's got like 45 kids he's a youtuber. foxy with that face his brothers a. youtuber it's just got Daniel Jones in. there it's a new league all of a sudden. it's a new league in any time Patrick. mahomes play somebody they're gonna say. is this the future of the NFL is this. the future of the NFL because it's a. young player I think Tyler Murray's.

potentially the future of the NFL and he. looks he's impossible to tackle that guy. and this sounds bad but he's got the. lowest center of gravity I've ever seen. in my entire life and his legs are. bowlegged and he looks like when he's. running it he's quick and stuff like. ever he looks like a little weeble. wobble it looks like they're not gonna. be able to knock him down then you got. Lamar Jackson change in the game the NFL. is about to have a whole new face here I. think in a couple maybe even a couple. months by the end of this thing but the. the face that will remain is the face. that might have got a little bit of work. done it's the face that this most.

handsome and that's the New England. Patriots ain't nobody gonna be able to. stop him Carla Murray kind of reminds me. of like if Darren Sproles had an arm and. played quarterback that's a perfect. example that is a perfect metaphor he is. that's exactly accurate and Darren's. roles by the way impossible to test. still doing it by the way somehow. because he's impossible to tackle those. little everybody that was little I. played on a college football team with. Noel Devine and jock Sanders and years. decades ago those two they would say.

this guy is no shot too small this guy. too small not enough size to making the. NFL not with the big boys not with the. big boys then Darren Sproles completely. won in there and flipped the game on its. head Darren Sproles became one of the. most elusive returners in the game you. put him on offense he can get loose you. put him in a back field he can do. whatever he needs to do he can hide. behind players almost it felt like so. then all of a sudden every little person. became and I don't mean little person I. was in like a little part I mean like.

sure size people yeah yeah underside it. became almost like a commodity. everybody was looking for a little guy. just like everybody started looking for. a Wes Welker and I think everybody's. gonna start looking for people. quarterbacks have big arms athletic and. kid just make plays by themselves which. is basically what Patrick mahomes is. Cuyler Murray is and Lamar Jackson has. somehow proven to be a guy who was a. dual threat quarterback which nobody. could have expected well will Grier do. that yeah well Kyle Allen do that nah. was Cam Newton that yes but I feel like.

he lost his love of the game yeah cuz a. lot of these quarterbacks that are. coming now can at least run a little bit. too like Baker can run Josh Allen can. run Lamar Jackson Kyler Darnell can even. run a little bit like to at least to get. out of pressure. mahomes can run Daniel Jones that guy. can run he might be the outlier yeah I. think so but he's young I'm sure he can. move a little bit I promise you this he. kids moving more than Eli the Manning's. aren't known for their mobility man Eli.

was pretty much just a statue with a. noodle arm back there towards the end I. mean what is your deal you cannot talk. about the man's body's still cold when I. when I say this I mean this you cannot. talk about the Manning's like especially. down here in New Orleans. Archie's listening oh no. Archie's listening right now he's gonna. get us pulled from the air on release. ten stations by tomorrow because of what. you just did I hope you know that I hope. you understand that and I hope you. regret everything you just did I thought.

I was supposed to say things that you're. not allowed to say well that was gonna. be time step up and say that I mean. we'll just have a roomful of shots makes. you look like the great guy yeah cuz. every time you say well he didn't. deserve that he didn't deserve that one. bit dak Prescott there's another guy he. can move he can move by the way him. running down the middle of the field. last week looking at the corner that was. potentially gonna tackle him that was. one of the most awkward things I've ever. seen what him and Josh Norman had a pass. because like I feel like he could have.

cut right and maybe possibly got 20 more. yards or even scored but he just looked. and ran directly at Josh Norman. oh speaking of Josh Norman corners are. not by I mean the NFL is about to be an. entirely new place big personalities. people do whatever the hell they want to. do no quarterbacks new offenses. new this new that new rules bad refs. everything it's gonna be a whole new. place people forcing themselves out of. positions they don't like being in is is. quite an interesting turn for the. business of the NFL everybody saying. Jalen Ramsay is gonna be a Kansas City.

chief insanity to me that that's gonna. happen Jalen Ramsey's gonna join a team. that's just loaded from top to bottom. they picked up LeSean McCoy from the. Buffalo Bills who were still undefeated. by the way Buffalo Bills Bills mafia. still undefeated. people forget we won't let him people. forget the Buffalo Bills are still. undefeated or the Buffalo Bills the. greatest football player to ever. football team to ever play in the NFL or. the 2019 Buffalo Bills the best football. team to play ever in the NFL I mean it's.

too early to say but they're definitely. it's hard to argue it so what I'm saying. it's hard to argue it I think if I'm a. Buffalo Bills fan I'm probably. incredibly intoxicated right now it's a. Wednesday that's what I do. I'm getting ready for this weekend I'm. gonna go through some tables I'm gonna. bring my dildos i'ma throw toes on the. field I'm gonna have a good time I make. sure that that stadium is completely lit. and ready to go. and then what am I gonna do I'm gonna. watch potentially the greatest Buffalo. Bills team to ever play on a football. field with our guy or guy Josh Allen but.

Jalen Ramsey going to the Chiefs is such. an interesting thing because if you're a. good player now we talked about this. yesterday old school versus new school. if you're old school you have to hate. everything about players utilizing their. leverage and getting out of positions. they don't want to be in and trying to. get into a place that they could. potentially win more. Jalen Ramsey tried to fight Doug Marrone. on a sideline how to get held back on. the sidelines of the game then there's. talks of like hey you know what we're.

ready to get rid of him and then the. Jags say they want to first-rounders to. get him to first rounders is a lot that. was what rg3 was worth and that's what. Mac got pretty much for the Raiders. Khalil Mack got two first rounders yes. that is a lot to ask for but he's a shut. down walked down corner but how long can. you have him until he's not happy again. that's what you have to ask right this. is just like the every situation the. Antonio Brown situation it's if they. cheat with you they'll cheat.

anja right that's what everybody says. about relationships if they cheat with. you they'll cheat on you if Jalen Ramsay. is making his way out because he's angry. about something going somewhere else you. have to wonder if you're a Chiefs like. hey is he gonna do this to us at some. point I don't think that's the case cuz. Andy Reid has an incredible track record. with his players although I think him. and Donovan McNabb might have hated each. other at the end I'm not sure that might. have been a little bit slander but but I. think a lot of people enjoy playing for. Andy Reid but you have to wonder with. all these players forcing their way out. will it be a trend for them or will they.

be able to find a home and be happy with. it well his spin zone to make it seem. better for him was he just wanted to win. he just wants to go to a team where he. can win because he's tired of losing in. Jacksonville but if you're a team that's. picking up jaylen Rams and you're giving. up to first you remember he's also his. contracts also coming up you're also. gonna have to ape he came to camp in a. Brinks truck you got to pay him to by. the way with was that haha Davis driving. the Brinks truck I hope it was one of. the most hilarious guys in the internet. let's let's pivot real quick joining us.

now is a man who was a backup. quarterback for a long time he threw for. 11,000 yards in the NFL play for the. Detroit Lions I had a chance to chat. with them at the rookie symposium during. breakout meetings he was leading one of. them an incredibly knowledgeable man a. man who talks for the media for the. Pittsburgh Steelers from Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania mr. Charlie bash how you. doing fellas we're excellent how are you.

Charlie life is crazy. I'm Pittsburgh right now I'd imagine oh. yeah definitely it's been a crazy 48. hours that's for sure okay so the. Pittsburgh Steelers a lot of things have. happened though Tommy John snuck up and. attacked big Ben Roethlisberger's right. elbow then all of a sudden Mason. Rudolph's our starter the offense looked. like it had a little bit of a spark with. Mason everybody's like wait a minute are. we done yet in Pittsburgh then they. trade a first rounder for Minka. Fitzpatrick saying hey we're still in.

this thing what is the mindset with the. Pittsburgh Steelers are they giving up. hope this year or do you think they're. in it for the long haul and they really. think they can win some games this year. with Mason Rudolph no I really do think. they feel that way and then. having mason rudolph here on the roster. they really felt good about him two. years ago they had him graded as a first. round pick he just happened to fall into. the third round and they felt like he. was too good to pass up. even though there were other pressing. needs that they had on the football team. last year but now he's pressed into this.

position that made it easier because. when he walked into that building on. Monday everybody knew that them was. going to go on IR now this is his team. and like you mentioned he lit a spark in. on that for that offense in that game. coming in in that second quarter and I'm. playing the full second half stats would. have been probably about a 123 rating if. that Donte Moncrief holds on to the. football and he doesn't result in a. interception so they really feel good as. far as where he's at. will he make mistakes yeah absolutely. essentially he is a rookie this is the.

second game that he's going to now. participate in as he gets ready for the. 49er so it's gonna be interesting to see. how he prepares this week a lot of. people are saying Big Bend never steps. on the field if tommy maddox doesn't get. hurt in basically the same fashion is. this a long-term thing or do you think. Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh. Steelers are expecting Ben rowengartner. to come back stronger than ever after. the Tommy John surgery well I think. talking to all the doctors I'm pretty. sure that they feel pretty good about.

the surgery and him coming back stronger. in the offseason the good part with Ben. you had the surgery now you don't he. doesn't have to pick up a football till. April May until ot a start-up next. spring so I think that's a good part for. him that question remains you just don't. know how he's going to respond because I. don't think there's a comparable surgery. out there I know that people were. talking about Jake Malone or Liddell. Holmdel home from Carolina I think. that's a pronounces last L homey yeah so. you know they were trying to compare it.

to that type of surgery but I think it. may be a little bit more severe so you. know we'll see and follow and monitor. what his progress looks like but you. know his game is that you know you just. do two veteran guy you're older yes they. did extend his contract this year so he. feels pretty good that way but here you. are possibly watching your replacement. if he goes out there and balls out man. now there's gonna be a lot of questions. coming to next year whether he is the. quarterback of the future if it doesn't. plan out for Mason Rudolph you. you have been in the bullpen to come. back in but that now you know what this.

next year's quarterback class looked. like you don't have a first rounder. because you just traded it away to Miami. for Fitzpatrick so there are a lot of. questions that are lingering around. Pittsburgh you are a backup for a long. time also an incredible starter for. Detroit Lions but you were a backup for. a long time and every time you came on. the field I feel like every unions are I. know thought that the team had a real. chance does the city of Pittsburgh think. that the Steelers have a chance right. now with Mason Rudolph or is everybody. kind of like we got rid kind of neo.

Brown we got rid of Lev now Ben's elbow. decides to quit everything's in shambles. or do you think there's a real feeling. of you know what next man up Mason. Rudolph's gonna be able to do this well. I think they feel good about his. performance last week Dave so okay well. we didn't expect that but I think the. lingering question remains because. nobody has ever seen this before because. he is essentially a rookie can he now do. it consistently and he has 14 games to. prove that and that start this week on. the road and the tough environment in. San Francisco so I think we're all kind.

of scratching our heads everybody's. trying to learn this together can make. them play every all indications that. I've seen through our training camp he's. really just picked up the offense and I. think he gets to that point of now can. he now continue to execute and do this. on the road so I think we're all going. to figure that question out in the next. 60 minutes when it happens on Sunday. excited to see Mason Rudolph excited to. see what the Steelers do the ins errs. they've been through a lot these last. couple years a lot of drama I was like. Real Housewives of Pittsburgh there for. a while and the Steelers locker room. let's move on this is an incredible.

thing we're looking up the Charlie Batch. on the internet earlier and it was said. that you were in the locker room when. Barry Sanders decided to retire. would that marry Andrew Luck retired. here came out of nowhere and Barry. Sanders name is still mentioned all the. time about retirements that popped up. out of nowhere did you guys know that. was coming. what was the initial reaction and what. was Barry like as a dude yeah I think. whenever was Barry was phenomenal I mean.

probably the most humble was person I've. been around other than Troy Polamalu and. those two are very similar that way when. it comes to just their personalities but. nobody knew what was. fact you know here I was now entering. into my second year I thought the man it. was pretty cool playing with very lucky. year I'm gonna have him over the next. couple years he wasn't there during the. OTAs having conversations with them we. had no idea that he was going to retire. and then all of a sudden on the Eva. training camp he decides that he was. going to fax his retirement letter in to.

Wichita Kansas into the hometown. newspaper so we were all caught off. guard we're sitting there were. scrambling and then you know the coaches. are trying to figure out who we could. train for because we needed a running. back so it just really caught everybody. off guard it changed the whole offense. the game plan. we ended up trading for Bray Hill was. who was with the Chiefs and he played. with the Rams prior to it it was just. tough because now you're trying to get. him up to speed everybody kind of wrote. us off but for us we were able to rally. we got off to a six and to start we beat. the hot Rams team who eventually won a. Super Bowl at the midway point so it was.

just something that you had to kind of. rally around around each other and I. think that's what's happening now in. Indianapolis whenever the retirement. happened when in luck kind of similar. situations you didn't practice in the. offseason and then all of a sudden you. have percent that's sitting there with. those reps and when you get the worm and. you just got to go and play and. hopefully things work out with uh with. him up there in Indianapolis and of. course you know it was a great plan for. Barry Sanders for one year yeah it's. crazy how the league is because every. week there's a new headline every week.

something new happens something news. mind-blown the NFL does a great job. controlling the narrative all year round. the interlock stories basically already. done being talked about nobody's even. talking about it anymore but Barry. Sanders name is one that is just a. constant in the NFL. let's switch names the Manning family is. one that is always chat about for. whatever reason they're really good at. football want a lot of Super Bowls Eli. Manning has now been benched in for the. New York Giants daniel Jones young. quarterback going in there is that an. awkward move you think is it is it a.

weird quarterback room right now for. Daniel Jones. knowing that it's his team now or do you. think everything is going to be less a. fair let's go for it yeah it's gonna be. awkward just because you have you know. when you're the unquestionable leader in. the offseason and all the way up until. this point of the announcement you know. now you know the you know loyalty has to. switch a little bit on that team to say. okay yeah Eli you were. he was our man now we're moving toward. with justice so it just awkward and it. just kind of reminds me of my rookie.

year when I was with Detroit days Scott. Mitchell started the first two games he. ultimately got benched in week 3 me I. was preparing to get ready for Minnesota. on the road and you know you're kind of. trying to now you know mold and figure. out what your careers being shaped like. but I think everybody you know a lot of. people in New York that already thought. that that particular move was going to. happen it was just a matter of when now. that the move is to May they cannot. waver and go back to Eli Manning if for. whatever reason Daniel Jones. struggles reminds me of what happened.

last year in Baltimore when you're. sitting back you're making a switch from. you know going to G from Fargo to. Jackson and whenever he struggled in. that playoff game everybody was now. talking about trying to flush you know. Flacco into that lineup and our boss. said no way he's our guy and ultimately. you see it paying off for him in the. first two weeks down in Baltimore so. they just have to rally around Jones and. say listen don't look over your shoulder. this is your team and go out there and. rock it yeah cuz they're re goes. involved in everything I mean that's.

just the way it goes I think that's. gonna be a delicate situation I hope. Daniel Jones does well for the New York. Giants fans and I'm interested to see. how Eli Manning handles that Lamar. Jackson you just mentioned him have you. got a chance to watch that offense do. you think it's sustainable do you think. that's an offense that defensive. coordinators will be able to figure out. the Wildcat took the world by storm and. then the rpoS which used to be called. play actions kind of took over the world. and defense coordinator start figuring. it out this offense in Baltimore seems. to be one that could be very difficult.

to figure out with all the Titanes. they're different sets and Lamar Jackson. ability to throw the ball all of a. sudden have you got a chance to see the. Ravens offense perform it all and do you. think they are a potential dominant AFC. team for the next couple years well I do. think they have the potential to be a. dominant team do I did I expect Jackson. to do what he's doing and you know have. a perfect passer rating a weak one no. but he did and he had to go out there. and prove it because you know coming. into this season everybody questioned. whether or not he can throw the football.

down the field but when you have the. running ability of Jackson they have to. respect that first and foremost so if. you're a defensive coordinator in this. league you're to say okay we're a. the box stop the run Jackson beat us. what you're on and he has proven that. best bar so it's going to be interesting. to see if defensive coordinators can. keep up to what he's doing. but also can Jackson protect himself. when he's now running the football and. not and not take those unnecessary hit. so he can sustain throughout the entire. year if he stays healthy man Baltimore. obviously is the team to beat in the AFC. North now can they compete with Kansas.

City we won't know that because I don't. think they get a chance this year unless. it's the playoffs but they do get a shot. at New England so it'll be able to test. where they are from that's a competition. level. mr. bats when I say this I mean this I. feel like the New England Patriots have. been winning since Barry Sanders decided. to retire it is like that Empire up. there is just so good and they've only. gotten better as an older guy who played.

quarterback into your I think in near 40. in late 30s at least how do you think. how do you think it's sustainable even. he it's avocado ice cream I get it and. he does cucumber pizza and stuff like. that but how does Tom Brady still. perform at the level that he performs at. some time Father Time has to catch up to. him it is that wrong in my accurate no. yeah absolutely catches up to everyone. and for you know whatever workout.

regimen that Tom is doing up there is. working for him and like you mentioned. man just kind of scratch your head when. you spend you know 20 years in this. league and half of them you're in the. Super Bowl it's really are you serious. that New England situation remind me of. Golden State you're like okay yes that. curry is already good but you're a Kevin. Durant to that are you kidding me now. all of a sudden here you are adding. antonio tonics I cannot even happen and. it just you know it baffles me and you. know for some comparisons use everyone. thought that the Steelers different.

compete they got blown out by New. England and you add that element in. Thomas doing nothing for getting better. and our quarterbacks are being knocked. off with injury and now here's the older. as an elder spokesperson now versus all. these younger guys and Kenny now knock. off the lion and it's going to be. interesting to see if they can do it but. would ever for whatever reason all the. signs are indicating that is. there's gonna be a Kansas City New. England AFC champion will probably see. Tom in the championship again you never.

officially retired from the NFL. can you still spin it were you thinking. about going working out for the Steelers. or what I never officially retired from. the NFL but you know this game is once. they send you your severance check the. league has officially wiped our hands of. yours if you want officially retire are. you enjoying the media world are you. this has been an incredible conversation. I feel like you just taught me a lot are. you enjoying the media world is this. what's gonna happen are you or is this. gonna be your future I really do enjoy.

it I like it but I don't love and the. only reason why I don't love it is. because the Steelers play five national. game prime time games and I jump on a. postgame radio after the fact I don't. finish till 2:30 in the morning that's. the only reason why I don't love it but. all everything else I was enjoy it. thoroughly and I enjoy talking to you. just talking ball in general so trust me. I'm one of the ones that are very happy. I know Steelers nation is not happy. whenever the Steelers are flexed at a. prime-time but I'm completely happy. because that's different between me.

finishing at 2:30 in the morning or 7:00. p.m. you talk about newspaper people. they talk about deadlines writing. deadlines they like the earlier games as. well so I don't think writing knock on. that who do you you have the New England. Patriots in the Chiefs in the AFC. Championship who do you have the. Patriots winning it all against - I. actually have them probably kind of hard. because at one point I'm thinking to. myself okay it's gonna be this it's. gonna be two rams and then I'm liking.

what I saw from Seattle what they did to. the Steelers over the last last week so. I really think it's gonna be Seahawks in. New England and Superbowl here Charlie. everything about me every time I watch. Russell Wilson speak I just want to I. literally want to just slap them in the. 8th in the mouth because everything he. says is just perfect everything Russell. Wilson says is perfect everything he. does seems to be perfect he was like. back when I was in college and Tim Tebow.

it was like this guy can't be like this. all the time then I meet Tim Tebow and. he literally is like that all the time. Russell Wilson I've never got to. officially meet him but every time I see. him on TV I'm like this guy is so full. of grumpy I cannot take everything this. guy says it's just perfect perfect. perfect. and then he leads the team on these. incredible long drives and he drops. balls into the bucket for him he seems. to be the perfect quarterback why do I. hate him charlie why do I just have a. special hatred towards him and should I.

it's one of those history reminds me of. Ben Roethlisberger early on you're like. okay the Legion of boom is the reason. why you're winning why you're in a Super. Bowl why do you even have a championship. and then all of a sudden he continues on. in this career they lose their defensive. side of the ball and he's making some. pinpoint-accurate throws you like man I. can respect it it's very similar to what. happened in with Ben Roethlisberger that. defense number one for a long time here. with the Steelers and he started making. those accurate those and that's when. people started respecting his passing. game when you look at what Russell.

Wilson brings to the table he he doesn't. check all the boxes but yet he's out. there and one of the top quarterbacks in. his league you can't do anything but. respect the guy though I'm picky did he. had to earn everything that he has at. this point and man watching him in. person man it was even better than. watching on TV this past Sunday I'll. tell you what Charlie you've had to earn. everything in your life as well from. Monty Hall to Eastern Michigan to the. Lions back home to Pittsburgh I can't. thank you enough for joining us. I'll get around on Russell Wilson I. think he's too perfect I just think he's.

too it has to be fake but maybe it's. genuine maybe he's just that incredible. of a dude in a quarterback Charlie I. will speak nothing but your praises for. the rest of time thank you so much for. joining us ladies and gentlemen Charlie. Batch Thank You Man appreciate thanks. for having me all right we got to get to. a break we have no music hasn't been set. up yet but on the other side we'll have. reactions to that conversation and we'll. also chitchat oh we got music baby is. that takes on the ones in please. what's this coffee this is free yourself.

quirky electro indie with bouncy drums. guitars off-the-wall male vocals and see. that's what we needed right now. got a little tunes here I wish we could. take your calls from around the globe. but we just can't we just got music in. this thing we'll finish up this first. hour go into our - we got Dana Holgorsen. an hour - it was a lot said in that. conversation there with Charlie better a. lot of good stuff let's digest it over. the break and come back with it on the. other side you listen to vite back -.

sure.

djay takes on the ones and twos what is. this here today this is devil on the. radio ah we had devil on traffic earlier. today the old manure spitter got toppled. over on the highway bumper-to-bumper for. an hour and a half we were in traffic. for an hour and a half our driver Ernest. was making some plays took us down some. back road some side roads here in New.

Orleans got a chance to see a lot of. things so a lot of saints gear excited. to be on the air live with you right now. out of the back of the box truck Charlie. Batch broke down everything there man. a lot of things I did not know the. similarities between his career and. Daniel John's career there were after. the second game he became a starter. after event now granted I didn't know. who the hell that guy wasn't that's a. lot different whenever it's Eli Manning. but I enjoyed Charlie Batch a lot there. he seems it seems as if the Pittsburgh. Steelers really think Mason Rudolph's. gonna be worth a damn it really feels.

like they think that he honestly did. look good and he looks good in preseason. too and like I said the other day I. think on here is it might be a blessing. in disguise with this injury because you. get to find out a year or two earlier. whether Mason Rudolph is worth a damn I. think I could say that yeah you can say. damn and so then we'll get to address. the position later or not I didn't like. the shot that Donte Moncrief got there I. did I loved that shot I didn't like the. shot cross about there I'm on seven. drops in two weeks is he cut I he I the.

the news out of Pittsburgh is that he's. probably not gonna get a lot of playing. time after he dropped the ball on Sunday. and it went right into a defenders hands. he did not play another step back he got. incredibly unlucky there I mean that. ball goes through his hands off his. facemask up over his head right into a. guy's pocket basically I mean what do. you want from the guy it's an oblong. ball well I mean catcher would be great. Donte Moncrief holds a special place in. my heart because he chose to play punt. gunner for me in pooch situations. whenever he was at the Colts he wasn't.

get the ball on offense so for me that's. a selfless move that's a guy that wants. to get better but boy it's been a rough. store for him there off start for a lot. of people though just as many teams that. are undefeated there's a lot of teams. that are completely defeated under well. the Dolphins maintain this sickness all. the way through to get the number one. pick and what will they do with the. number. one pick a lot of people automatically. assume that they're gonna be able to do. right with the number one pick who knows. what if - it doesn't work out what if -. it doesn't want to play what if - is. like you know what I'm gonna go back to.

the hot tub at Alabama and play another. year I heard I saw it on the internet. yesterday maybe they're stacking a pix. not necessarily to get to uh but so they. can trade up possibly to get Trevor. Lawrence a year after in case they don't. have first pick the number one pick is. very vital because you can trade that. thing our one is done we'll be back on. the other side you listen to the pack to. show.

yes it is chase rice thank you for that. banger it is 1001 if you're in Central. Time 1101 if you're on the Eastern. Standard time zone and it is Wednesday. September 18th 2019 can't thank you. enough for listening or watching. wherever you might be whether you're in.

Germany gutentag day - over there or. you're in Italy grazie. paisan IO Canada or across the country. or in Westwood one radio station we. can't thank you enough for listening if. you're listening to another show the. first hour you miss great stuff on ours. you know we came in hot about two. minutes before the show started jumped. in this box truck and really kicked. things off Charlie Batch joined us at. 10:30 and it broke down everything it. was nice to hear from him Diggs is here. Foxy's here Thais here and Zito is here.

Zino's manning the board he doesn't have. a microphone which is probably a good. thing for everybody but we'll get to. some sort of questions on the break if. you're watching on the Internet. send them in using hashtag Pat McAfee. show live since we cannot use phones. that is just the one little tiny problem. we have whenever we're broadcasting from. the back of a box drunk I just burped I. how's it going Becker pretty good I'll. tell you what it is a little toasty back.

here despite heating up in here I mean. there's a lot of electronics a lot of. gadgets a lot of gear it is it's boiling. in here well there's a thermometer in. here we are currently at 81 degrees in. here I had a thermometer last time. because when we were winston-salem it. might have been a hundred and 25 degrees. in this box truck Fick dude we're. talking thick 80 degrees in here right. now and a thick 125 last week in. winston-salem chances are if we would. have had that last week that mercury. would have went into retrograde we. wouldn't have even been able to check it.

out and see how hot it is very excited. be down here in New Orleans very excited. to be talking to all of you about the. sports pretty big news in the sports. world but also in my life Adam Vinatieri. has told the media in everybody that. wanted him to retire to go ahead walk. down a hallway turn a left into a room. shut the door to the room. light some incense turn on a television. sit down on a couch and go fornicate.

yourself I'm not retiring I'm back baby. I had a chance to talk to Vinatieri on. Sunday night via phone call and he was. upset with himself obviously he was in a. in a state of mind where he felt as if. he was letting down his teammates which. is something he's always said as long as. I continue to be an asset I'm gonna keep. kicking as soon as I become a liability. I will no longer do this that's been his. mindset for the last it seems like 15. years of his 24-year run right now he.

was flustered he was upset with himself. and Stephen holder put out a tweet that. said something along the lines of my. conversation with Adam Vinatieri was hey. could we talk to you uh we'll talk. tomorrow you guys are off tomorrow but. you'll see me Vinnie says so Stephen. holder basically suggested alluded in. that tweet whether he meant to or not. that Vinatieri was gonna have a press. conference on Monday afterwards in the. entire internet want a buzz about a. potential retirement coming and it all. started just from that tweet just from.

that one tweet everybody start talking. I don't think Vinatieri had that in his. mind until maybe B he landed because he. doesn't have an iPhone he's an old man. he has a Android he didn't even know. what was happening on the internet I. don't think on the flight home bus they. had to delay the flight home because. some paperwork for was assigned in. Nashville to get off the air I guess for. the airport so I don't think he even. knew that the internet was talking about. him retiring until he landed back in. Indianapolis where his kids one of his. kids probably texted and was like hey is.

there something we need to know about. talking to him though it was obvious. that he didn't want to it was obvious. that he was upset there was one of these. things whenever you get so old in the. tooth like that any downtime people are. asking okay is it time for you to retire. like if Tom Brady has a bad game they'll. even say like it is Tom Brady washed-up. is this is this the final days for Tom. Brady and it's just one of those things. that happen when you get older vennett. Terry hasn't had this slump though in so.

long finitary hasn't had these moments. where he doesn't perform well so these. questions haven't been asked and I. talked to Vinny and I let him know like. hey your old man these are type of. things that happen with the me. they want to drum up stories you're the. greatest of all time for a reason so. whenever you have this type of situation. they're automatically gonna assume that. it could potentially be an option but. anybody that knows that um finitary. knows this in the military if you're. watching please know this you're the. most competitive human I've ever been. around you've told me on numerous. occasions that if we were to be playing.

checkers against each other cuz I don't. play chess I like to think about right. now I want to make a move now I don't. care about what's happening down the. road probably gonna bite me in the butt. sometimes my life but it doesn't. happened yet you would flip the checkers. board before you dead of losing you're. the type of guy who wants to workout. with 22 year olds in the weight room. still even though you're almost 60 and. learning depends you're a type of guy. who is willing to step into a moment. that no human wants to be in other than. a select few and you're the guy who's. the guy that they call upon to do the. job you're obviously an Italian or South.

Dakota kid you've taken this long route. to get to the NFL and now that you got. to the NFL you still feel as if every. single day is your first day on the job. you have a chip on your shoulder you. have a lot to prove and in any given. moment you think that it could be your. last day but what you need to know is. there's a reason that you're the. all-time leading scorer in the NFL. there's a reason you've been able to be. at the peak of a profession for so long. even though that profession isn't always.

respected by people outside of the sport. even though that profession isn't talked. about is one that's incredibly difficult. you've been able to be at the top of. your game for twenty plus years and. there's a reason because you're the. mentally toughest human I've ever been. around. you're the most talented human I've ever. been around and even at your age and. your greatness you might have some. questions he said to the media he has. some demons he has to get out it can. happen to anybody. I'm sure Tiger Woods at one point during. his run he had a little something inside. his head that was telling him you're not. good enough anymore you're not a guy.

that can make that but I think Vinatieri. even though he's the greatest of all. time first ballot hall-of-famer. no questions asked when you say the NFL. the name finitary is synonymous with it. he's won a bunch of Super Bowls by him I. won't sit by himself because it's always. a team effort but he's been the guy who. has actually won the Super Bowl for. teams and even he can let a little doubt. creep in and if that doubt is still. creepy. in a military I want you to know this. get it out get it out of there have a. nice conversation with yourself.

maybe maybe and I mean this a hundred. percent in certainty look right in the. mirror and stare at that handsome. Italian and let him know you're a bad. mother who don't take no crap from. nobody. Chris Ballard Frank Reich everybody's on. his side including all of the. Indianapolis Colts fans there might be. some media people that want to run him. out of town but this is just another. little obstacle and another little. hurdle that Adam Vinatieri will be able. to figure out watching his film from. Sunday I got a chance to watch it his. left knee wasn't able to plant in his.

fur he wasn't able to extend as much. which is a pretty valuable thing. whenever you're kicking field goals I. think he'll work on that this week and. if I was a fantasy player which I'm not. cuz I don't have enough time and I don't. fully understand it those who do it I. respect and I appreciate I don't do it I. would have Adam Vinatieri starting on my. team because he's gonna come back bounce. back in a big way that's what Adam. Vinatieri does you know it I know it and. I think the Colts know it and Vinny. knows it that he's gonna bounce back so. then bringing in six kickers is that. just for them to save face on the off.

chance that things continue to go this. way so the last time they did this. finitary had a groin issue was last year. I believe I got a chance to go watch him. play actually in warmups I was watching. him kick and I said it is very hurt they. come out and said VIN Oteri's hurt and. everybody's like nope they haven't said. a single word about him being hurt lo. and behold after the game they said. finitary struggling with a groin issue. so they thought about sitting him out. for a game this was right before he got. the points record he sat in the training. room when their new facility the Cotes.

built immediately after I left which was. very nice their training room though is. right next to their workout facility in. their practice facility he sat there and. he watched other kickers try to compete. for his job he sold me on my show while. watching them he thought to himself. ain't none of these dudes gonna take my. job and that goes back to the thought of. Vinatieri whenever he was young. competing for a job against a bar. brother that he thought my job is my job. in any given day somebody could take it.

that's why every day shows up to work. he's a guy that still kicks him practice. he's a guy that still puts in the reps. when he could. definitely walk into a meeting and say. hey listen I'm not kicking until Sunday. everybody can eat he could say that he. chooses not to do that I think Chris. Ballard bringing in these six kickers. I'm assuming it was right in line with. the same time the finitary was doing his. treatment finitary sitting here watching. the double don't code eparchy come. through Elliott fry young Hongwu came.

through there was a bunch of kickers. that tried out. I think this only motivates finitary. more but also I think it's the Colts. doing their due diligence that if. finitary still struggles somehow you. have to have a back-up plan it's the NFL. it's the way it is but I don't think. anybody in that building is hoping that. they have to do that and I think it's a. nice piece of motivation for Adam. Vinatieri. I also think that it's it's pretty. admirable that he can get to the point. where he feels like I'm not helping the. team out like I got a step away cuz I. mean obviously you would know more than. any of us but I'm sure there are plenty. of guys on NFL rosters who are kind in.

that same position but they'll gladly. still just grab a paycheck as long as. they can before it's over yeah a lot of. people hang on for dear life until they. can kind of bleed a try I think that. when I talked to him that was the. biggest sense I got from him is he was. just so disappointed in himself for. letting down his team I think he said. hey we got a great team right now we got. a new quarterback that needs to win. games and get some confidence in her we. got a lot of things going on it's a. whole new era and I'm holding them back. was his thought you know that he didn't. say I'm holding them back but he. basically was saying I'm letting them. down I think that was his biggest regret.

of Sunday in a way he's been kicking but. also that'll be his biggest motivator. never again will Adam Vinatieri his name. be associated with bringing something. down it will only be associated with. bringing things up and I think that's. why you look for a big-time bounce-back. for Adam Vinatieri I mean we need him to. stick around strictly because he's one. of the last great paisans in the league. not a lot of Italians doing a lot of. things you got Jimmy Garoppolo over here. back page Jimmy yeah what was that back. page Jimmy so I like to call back pages.

have been kicked off here I don't think. it's a real thing anymore Wow Jimmy went. and found his porn star on the back page. so Oh cuz you're saying she was a yeah. she wasn't the front page I mean taking. shots a dolt film star she's not she's. probably a 3-star are you kidding are. you a guy that reviews porn yeah. nobody's reviewing. we always wondered who the people were. that put the stars in the comments in. the whole will I will review hey you're. doing the Lord's work I'm not sure I've. I've heard of any man though stopping.

from watching a porn because it only had. three stars but you keep doing what. you're doing she came out and said to. Jimmy G by the way put on a show. yep that's gotta feel good for you. Italian so he really does yeah I could. imagine yeah hard workers let's go ahead. and get to a break we got Dana Holgorsen. on the other side I just want everybody. to know that VIN eteri is all the way. back do I know that for sure absolutely. not the only thing I know is that I held. his balls for eight years day in and day.

out and the thing that that guy does. better than anybody is bounce back won't. get off the field if we missed one only. goes to work I assume that's what he's. doing this week can't kill himself. though with the leg work because of how. old he is but I think he'll figure it. out that's why I Adam Vinatieri is that. a military that's why he's a. hall-of-famer. and that's why he'll continue this. season as a legend I hope so at least. I'm pulling for Mark everybody else. might be rooting against him just know. that here in this box truck he's got.

fans yes. I wish we had fans it's 85 degrees and. on the other side we have Dana Holgorsen. you're listening to the Pat magazine. show.

welcome back to the pac-man if he showed. no music from DJ digs quite a miss there. by the paisan no big deal we are joined. now by a man who's a legend and I say. that I mean that anything this guy does. gets talked about tweeted about and for. good reason. you might see him roaming a sideline.

with a visor on and a potential mullet. every once in a while he houses Red Bull. he was a head coach at West Virginia for. eight years. he's accrued 62 wins as a head coach now. he is in charge of what's happening down. in the University of Houston ladies and. gentlemen Dana Holgorsen coach either. there's coach you there this type of.

stuff happens so I mean I can't wait to. chat with him about a lot of stuff he's. a guy who honestly his air raid offense. and his wide open thing was something. that was such an electric thing factory. when he got to West Virginia kind of. fell off there at the end I assumed him. I don't know why I wasn't in the. building now he's at the University of. Houston were on Thursday Night Football. on ESPN cannot wait to chop them that. game last year between Oklahoma and West.

Virginia at West Virginia will Grier in. calimary when they scored 160 combined. points yeah Hollywood Brown too right. Hollywood Brown came on the scene that. was uh that was an electric night in. Morgantown coach you there I'm there are. you doing hey coach so sorry about that. tech issues I'm so thankful you came on. and joined us today how you feeling. about the your University of Houston. football squad going in tomorrow night. against Tulane well you know things. don't get great overnight it takes a.

little bit of time before you can really. truly get it the way you want it but you. know we're getting better we had a you. know we had a pretty exciting game wolf. on that Oklahoma night you miss in the. West Virginia that was that was quite. quite the game and a couple games later. I have to play these guys again at my. new school but uh. they're pretty good they you know but we. competed hard you know and and and just.

didn't get to win there obviously but. and then last week we had another tough. one against Washington State and other. top 20 teams so we played good opponents. you know sitting here at 1 & 2 and now. we got to go play Tulane they're there. another good team you know sitting there. at 2 & 1 so it should be a funny. okay coach everywhere you go there's. this buzz right Dana Holgorsen offensive. brilliance everywhere you go people are. expecting you to put up big numbers do. incredible things whenever you came to. West Virginia I'll never forget the.

chatter about all we got this guy he's. wide open. early success at West Virginia then. things kind of got stale why did you. decide to go back to the University of. Houston instead of maybe another job or. maybe this was there a lot of thought. into that or or was this a place you. always wanted to come back to it's. really it's really bad you know I don't. think things were still at the end that. West Virginia I'm a were sitting there. in the top 10 for the entire year just. didn't didn't get luck didn't get to win. there at the end of the year to put us. in the big 12 championship but very.

proud of what we did there and loved. that you know I spent a couple years I. spent a couple years of university. Houston back you know. oh eight no nine you know had a lot of. success won a lot of games coached Case. Keenum you know who's a good buddy and. doing wonderful things there in the NFL. and you know I just always liked this. place I think the potential here is is. really good you know it doesn't hurt hit. the reset button every now and then I. think it might have done West Virginia. some good as well you know so just just.

was a place that I think has tremendous. potential down here at the University of. Houston and love the city of Houston as. well there's six million people here and. we can we can get into a bunch of high. schools I got a bunch outstanding. players as well so just was a place you. know the opportunity was really good. we've got great leadership here Renu two. tours our president she's a rock star. and Tillman's ratite is our chair. support and bring knows a thing or two. about building the franchise and and so. we just got we got a lot of potential.

down here and I think we're just. scratching the surface bevel point. that's incredible when I left West. Virginia there's a lot of animosity. between me and West. a lot of bad things were said about me. whenever I left a lot of things like. that now I think as time has kind of. healed all wounds with me in West. Virginia people are excited for me to. potentially come back there I have no. idea I haven't been back in a little. while for you in West Virginia whenever. you left just as somebody I know you. don't want to talk about the past but as. somebody who has been through that.

situation did you find that breakup to. be a little bit more animus animosity. than you could have imagined or is that. just kind of the way the business is. these days well I I know you're wanted. back in West Virginia we've been trying. to get you back forever I think you came. back about eight years ago I met you. that one time this year you're there but. now you should get back there it's. wonderful people and you know they've. done a lot of good things with the. athletic department there in the third.

and good hands back there and I just I. don't think it was I don't think it was. a bad breakup I think it was probably as. cordial as it can possibly be between a. coach in the university they you know we. did I'm very proud of what we. accomplished there we did a lot of great. things we bust the program in really. good shape they're gonna win a bunch and. those players mean a lot to me you know. don't really necessarily talk to them. all the time but it's all the former. ones I do and when these guys graduate. up I remain close with a lot of those. guys as well so you know no hard.

feelings whatsoever and just just. focused on I'm trying to make the. University of Houston as good as I. possibly can. I love everything about that answer. right there by the way because in the. world we're in right now everything gets. blown out of proportion I love. everything you said in every player. that's ever played for you said I love. Dana Holgorsen so that has to feel good. is that something you're trying to get. over in the University of Houston. because anytime a new coach has to come. in some of the older players the senior. players who might have been brought in. by another coach or even another coach.

because I think Houston's been through. some head coaches has it been difficult. to kind of build a culture in the manner. that Coach Holgersson wants it to be. yeah it really has and it's really. nobody's fault it's just you know and. that one of the reasons why I took this. job is kind of where I want to be so. this is not a stepping-stone job for me. the previous coaches. it has been you know I mean when we. touch someone was here I mean he got he. got a pretty good gig at Texas A&M when. Herrmann was here he's got a pretty good. gig at Texas this is not a stepping.

stone job for me and it's a much. different job than it was when those. guys were here as well the commitment to. the school the commits from the school. the commitment to the football program. and the athletic department is is on the. power five level so we consider. ourselves at that level and we're going. to act like we're on that level you know. so but it has and it's not their fault. they've been through three or four. coaches they've been through a bunch of. different systems so what I sit in front. of them and I say I'm not going anywhere. they look at me like I'm crazy just.

because of what they've been through but. we're slowly gaining ground on that the. longer I'm here the more they're gonna. understand it yeah you're turning boys. into men to college football coaches. that's something that doesn't get talked. about enough you go in there a lot of. guys show up at a university is 18 year. old boys they just got another prom and. then by the time they're done everything. changes so whenever you have three four. different coaches in your tenure there. you can see how they could potentially. lose trust in an operation I hope you. stick around I I think the I hoped I.

think the team there is a real shot that. quarterback you have King is a lightning. rod of a man I cannot wait to watch and. play football tonight when you're. calling plays what are you trying to. read what are you looking for everybody. knows that you're an offensive guru in. offensive brilliance what are you. getting a feel for your players feel for. the game do you have a mindset going in. or is it just kind of like hey here's. our weapons let's try to make the most. of it running game I mean you know we're.

trying that we're trying to run the ball. get that we've got some really good. running backs top quarter and Patrick. car guy you know big-time players and. then you got Derrick back there as well. so work work we're trying to be as. physical as we can up front and. establish that running game and didn't. let the pass the game take care of it. you know we've had so many Pocket. passwords throughout the years and. thrown for a gazillion yards and all.

that but that that stuff takes time. we're trying to do it the right way and. hopefully work we're a week better at it. this week I can't wait to watch her. offense will Grier incredibly handsome. man he's got a babies he thrived under. your leadership at West Virginia Cam. Newton's out there not having him play I. believe they're going with a guy named. Kyle Allen do you think will Grier in. any of your other quarterbacks that have. come through your system our NFL ready. and is that a reason why you think. people will want to come to the.

University of Houston to get Dana. Holgorsen coaching well that yeah we've. had we've had some that have been game. ready and some that happened all the. really good ones that usually takes you. know it takes you know several weeks. before they throw them into the fire. they're not too many of them like tyler. murray that just starts from game one. you know so i think a little bit of time. cow cow alan is actually we've competed. against them he was that sex play and. they only beat us in the ball games and. he transferred to the University of. Houston was here for a couple of years.

he's a really good player you know and I. just think guys like will wills gonna. have a ton of success in the NFL and you. know he can handle about anything that's. thrown at them it just takes a little. bit of time to get to speed underneath. them and learn the playbook and all that. good stuff but you really don't want to. play them too early because I can lose. confidence and and the team can lose. confidence in them as well so the more. time they can take before they got to. fill them into the fire I think it's. better okay last question here before we.

give you time I know you've got a big. game tomorrow night a lot going on you. probably have to travel down here in New. Orleans by the way bad traffic day. you'll probably have a police escort we. almost missed the entire show because. we're stuck in traffic or what we're. flying right into the airport so we're. staying right at the airport so should. be should be okay that's smarter. obviously you've been around - you've. been around a long time a lot gets made. of how you house Red Bulls I mean you. just plow through them as Red Bull. why hasn't Red Bull offered you a deal.

yet and when did that start and do you. enjoy the thought that you're an energy. drink supplier for or an energy drink. drinker for a lot of people in their. minds. I'm gonna probably get another one. before I go into the weight room let's. get a little a little weight room. session here with the guys no I'm not. lifting but we'll kind of bring some. energy and then go out to the practice. field and get a little workout in here.

on Fast Friday and then get on an. airplane and and go so you know there's. there's the realist well that's all up. to the University my previous spot we. were a coke outfit so they didn't like. the fact that I was drinking a lot of. Red Bull Ximena fish here at the. University of Houston is kind of in. negotiation so we'll see where it goes. you should be I mean they should jump. all over that Coach I can't wait to see. you I can't wait to watch the University. of Houston tomorrow night and call your. game.

I appreciate you brought a lot of. success to West Virginia I know it ended. potentially with them having a negative. feeling towards you I think time will. heal all wounds can't wait to see what. you do with the University of Houston. and thanks for joining us boss awesome. man Pat I appreciate you have you got a. boss have a good one hey when I say this. I mean this I got a chance to meet Dana. that one night I didn't go back to West. Virginia one I mean it's hard to go back. to a place where you get 27 death. threats and then anytime you talk about. him you get somebody to tweet you like.

oh yeah but if you would have made those. two kicks for national champs it's like. alright you know what I'm just gonna go. ahead and block that place out of my. life forever I'm just gonna you know I. really enjoy a happy life yes I. definitely should have made those two. kicks I agree 100% agree I wish I would. have by the way I probably I thought. about disappearing after that game so. it's a very terrible time in my life so. whenever it gets reminded to me every. single time I talk about a school you. can see how I could build up a potential. resentment towards a place so whenever. people are like man you ever gonna come.

back I'm like. I I mean I'm an all-time leading scorer. there I feel like I was one of the only. all-americans there I played two. positions I did a lot there. I wrote great coattails got a chance to. do a lot of that but there are some. people that are big diehard West. Virginia fans who live and die with the. West Virginia Mountaineers because it's. there's no professional teams and West. Virginia so I completely respect and. appreciate that but whenever I left it. wasn't like it was like a heroes parade. on the way out it was actually the. complete opposite like couldn't wait for.

me to get out of there almost so time is. kind of yield all wounds I cannot wait. to get back to Morgantown at some point. we call it WV you game down at Baylor on. Halloween I'm sure Morgantown will be. outrageous although we won't be there. but I think the same thing will happen. with Dana it's just kind of the way it. is it's happening with Richard right now. people are talking good about Richard at. Morgantown it's kind of just and he. literally just got up and bailed I mean. literally just got up and bailed and and. in a press conference after the game he. could have helped me out a little bit. instead of burying me but I mean that's. the other here nor there but I think if.

he built something special in here. that'll be his memory or legacy and I. think Western people be like you know. what no Brown was God we want it anyway. so it's a could be a win-win the culture. difference has to be a lot for Dana. Cowan from West Virginia Morgantown West. Virginia where not a lot of people live. to Houston where he referenced six. million people live and the different. recruiting as far as why I guess West. Virginia is in the big 12. but recruiting from inner city versus. wherever you're occurring from West. Virginia has to be a little bit. different so West Virginia when I was.

there we were the only shot a lot of. guys had myself included that's why we. knew when Richard went to Michigan it. wasn't gonna work cuz the way rich rod. treated us in the way he talked to us he. wanted us to hate him he was a Bear. Bryant Bobby Knight type coach he wanted. us to hate him but we literally had. nowhere to go it's like okay yeah we'll. just sit here and take you want us to do. what okay you got it bro we got nowhere. to go when he went to Michigan we're. like hey those kids got options like if. they're at the University of Michigan. they have options so we knew wasn't.

gonna work but we could always find good. talent to go to West Virginia because. the fan base is such a passionate one. and when you go to Morgantown you have a. good time so I'm like seven four seven. on recruiting visits by the way with. kids they would give either cows on Noel. Divine's. I mean I was one of the hosts for him we. got a good time so we could always get. guys to go there but I would assume that. it might be a little bit easier anyone. you have success it's easier yeah we. were having a lot of success so we're. having a lot of fun a lot of couches.

were burning cuz we were winning a lot a. lot of people are you burning couches. yeah we won a lot bro you're only. burning couches when you're winning too. bad your school sucks if you guys ever. had a chance to celebrate maybe that. would happen for you as well but at the. University of Houston and I think with. anywhere if you're winning you can get. kids yes in all you need is one class. the spark in one class to ignite it in. Pat white and Steve Slayton just so. happen to be the same class as me and. that was the class that sparked it I was. so lucky to be a part of that class and. lucky to be a part of that program but.

the way it end it wasn't beautiful and. now it's kind of coming back around but. I think same thing laughs forget when he. talks about it Houston has won a lot in. the past in the last few years but their. coach is like I said someone at Hermon. have gone on to bigger schools so if he. really is gonna stick around Houston can. definitely turn in some more so there. was an equipment manager whenever I was. at West Virginia named or I don't know. his full name. I don't wanna say its full name his name. is door but he was like a I don't say a. ball guy but he was like an incredible. equipment manager for our team whenever. I was at school there when Dana got the.

job he was throwing equipment he became. like their recruiting guy cuz he knew. everything about the campus you know all. that he became the recruiting guy for. Dana and he did send me messages a lot. like hey why don't you come back once. you come do this and it was always on me. I was like I don't know and also I. didn't love the way that Pat white and. Steve were not really being treated. welcome they kind of took their banners. down they weren't really having bad. cause Pat white and Steve kind of built. that place so I kind of had an. indifferent feel about him. Dorr told me he travelled with Dan Dana. down to Houston. he said Dana planes on say staying here.

like this is he wanted to come here this. is the place he wants to stay at and. whenever you're talking to a group of. kids just 18 19 years old that's why. it's hard for me as an analyst whenever. I hear other people just burying these. kids like you know these are kids man. like when I was in college I didn't know. left from right I mean I was I mean. granted I went out too much I got. $40,000 in student loans just a party. opportunity but I mean it was it was. it's hard to do that so when he goes. stand in front of a team in the last two. three coaches have all been.

like hey weirdness for long oh we're. gonna build something special and then. you you buy in you buy in you go bust. your ass in the weight room you go bust. your ass and conditioning you go do. everything you can everything you can. everything you can and then WHAM me the. guy's gone it's like the next guy comes. in same story but man we're gonna do. this we're gonna do this we're into this. and then he leaves it's hard for older. classmen the upperclassmen to buy in I. assume to Dana so that's gonna be tough. for him for the first couple years until. he gets his guys in there and if he's in. it for the long haul I'll be excited to. see what they turn the University of. Houston in that's city of Houston loves.

football. those Houston Texans fans are incredibly. loud and incredibly passionate who knows. what he used we're gonna be able to do. let's get to a break I have to run and. take a leak which is across a parking. lot through a building down the hall on. the left. hopefully make that happen we'll come. back on the other side with a new. segment stage of the week by Schmidt. stooge of a week hi Schmidt can't wait.

to hear that will lead off with that. tweet us your questions at hashtag Pat. McAfee show live will answer those. during the break on Twitter on the zone. worldwide we can't thank you enough. you're listening to the Pat Mike Fisher.

[Music]. who's this takes Nathan misako of course.

it is welcome back to the faculty show. DJ digs in the building playing the. bangers and now it's time for something. I've been looking forward to for at. least an hour and a half when we created. this segment I think every show on earth. has a segment like this where they just. bury somebody ty Schmidt is by far the. greatest at burying humans on planet. Earth we haven't really got a chance to. experience it if you're listening the. show because ty Schmidt keeps quite a.

tight filter on himself. because he's from Iowa he's from. Waterloo he's scared upset his parents. may be but this is me poking the bear in. an attempt to get time it to unleash on. some humans ladies and gentlemen welcome. to the first ever edition of Teich mitts. stage of the week. all right so I take it away I hate to do. it cuz this guy's been in the news as of. late and you know I I do not like. kicking someone when they're down now of.

course I really of course that's not. your thing no that's not my bag but. Aaron Carter the Backstreet Boy the. Backstreet Boys younger brother okay. he's in the news recently apparently he. threatened to kill his brother's wife. now they've yeah exactly so yeah he's. been having some issues basically. they're saying he's not mentally sane. but to forget you know I mean his. brother was the one that got him in the. spotlight you know forget. guess what no Backstreet Boys no Aaron.

Carter at all so right there I mean. that's guys a grade-a stooge okay not. only is he a sellout selling off his. family which I just you know it makes me. sick also. a lot of people have been saying that. the whole hey I'm gonna kill your wife. which obviously very distasteful rumor. has it he actually used that that. strategy to beat Shaq in that game oh my. god people forget that Aaron Carter had.

that banger that's how I beat Shaq. exactly you're saying that the only way. that that could have happened is if he. potentially utilized the same threats. that he did to his brothers pregnant. wife to mr. Shaquille O'Neal absolutely. and that ladies and gentlemen is this. week's Teich mitts stooge of the week. Aaron Carr oh you're also a sellout he. shouldn't he should know just like. Ashlee Simpson drew Lachey the Jackson. for the other Jackson for you take your.

15 minutes and you stay in your lane you. don't come at the the breadwinner of the. family no ya know where your bread is. buttered. stop being a stooge stop being a sellout. and get back to making hits that's a. real world news by the way for you. listening for sports talk here I'm just. learning of this news now as well I am. excited to hear this Aaron Carter had no. idea was still alive turns out he is. trying to take other people's life. that's insane yeah there's also the. possibility that's only like 60%. accurate we didn't have the greatest. Wi-Fi on the plane coming in so I kind.

of to do a little cracker easier doesn't. matter what did we learn today on the. show boys we learned to Charlie Batch is. incredible in a microphone yes you did. we learned that Daniel Jones has the. chance to be great as long as he doesn't. have to look over his shoulder at Eli. Manning chomping at the bit to get back. on the field I think that is a big deal. we also learned today that I feel Adam. Vinatieri is about to be back better. than ever. Dana Holgorsen talked to us about the. University of Houston being his forever.

home and trying to build a program there. I told him that the same thing happened. to me that happened to him whenever he. left West Virginia time will heal all. wounds I'd met one mention of Dana. Holgorsen there on the Twitter only. thing that popped up was West Virginia. people basically tell him to go. fornicate himself the whole time it's. like that's what I mean when he answered. that I was intrigued by that answer that. he gave I was like I don't know if you. know books. who knows let's take some questions. though we got him on the Twitter hashtag.

Pat McAfee show live when we're in this. box truck we don't have phone lines so. we literally don't have phone lines like. we had to call Dana on his personal. phone on Thais personal phone we had to. call Charlie Batch that's why it took a. little bit to get him on there because. you didn't want to answer this call from. Waterloo Iowa Teich MIT the tech isn't. always going to be sound but we hope. that our show is better than somebody. else's zero you want a microphone let me. ask you a question of meantime yeah any.

chance that Cam Newton this injury may. be not really an injury he just doesn't. like playing bad football a lot of. people are saying that Cam Newton. potentially doesn't love football. anymore. back in the day used to orchestrate the. entire fan base he used to go insane for. things maybe the game has beat him down. and took his joy. maybe it's like an Andrew Luck situation. where you get pounded that hard on a. regular basis you kind of stop loving. going to work every day maybe that's. possible maybe he is actually injured. maybe the Carolina Panthers riverboat.

gambler Ron Rivera said hey you think we. need to go somewhere else can we just. say that you have an injury maybe it's. all of those things I'm not sure what it. is I hope for the sake of the game the. Cam Newton finds his love for it again. not saying he doesn't love it just as a. guest here yeah and gets back in new. because whenever he was playing good. that was must-see TV and I think both. when he was getting paid at Auburn and. when he's getting paid for the Panther. God Zito all right first question is. from Lauren Moore okay hashtag Pat mega.

show live love the content man thanks. other than Lucas Oil what was your. favorite stadium to kick in and why okay. he go century league question mark go. Hawks. okay so I never played at the Seattle. Seahawks Stadium that is one regret of. my NFL career is that Roger Goodell. didn't schedule the Colts playing in. Seattle during my tenure there I. actually loved Houston Texans NRG. reliant whatever they're calling it now. Stadium every time we played in Houston.

against the Texans that's why whenever. he was talking about the University of. Houston and being the sixth largest city. in the country in the fans loving. football year I agreed with him every. time we played against the Houston. Texans. it was like it was the Super Bowl. basically it was for the AFC South we. normally played on prime-time I kicked. an onside kick to myself there I had a. couple big games I got a chance to meet. and hang out with Shane LeClair there. have a beer there I got a chance to chat. with JJ Watt but the fans the noise. there was deafening every single time we. played there and we had a lot of success. there in big games so I think that's why.

I liked NRG reliant whatever the hell. they're calling it now Stadium for the. Houston Texans Lucas Oil by the way. beautiful Stadium so quiet though very. very quiet. it is very quiet Stadium it's a very. comfortable state I think it's because. it's so nice it's so comfortable now. granted there hasn't been a lot of. things really lose your mind for if. you're a Colts fan here in recent memory. but the fan base can play a integral. part in a game and I know this gets said.

a lot home-field advantage home-field. advantage but it's a real thing if the. crowd is loud the defensive ends for. your team get a better jump on the ball. than the tackle is therefore getting an. advantage on potentially sacking a. quarterback. so back in a day when Robert Mathis and. Dwight Freeney were wide open on the. other side on either side they used to. be able to get a good jump on the. tackles because Lucas Oil Stadium would. be able to pick up the noise just a. little bit but if that place could have. been like energy a Reliant Stadium I'm. thinking Dwight Freeney maybe has 4,000. SEC's and it doesn't matter if somebody.

defrauded him out in Los Angeles which. is what happened I think Robert Mathis. is a first-ballot hall-of-famer. guaranteed if that crowds a little bit. louder on a regular basis but I don't. think it was built for some noise I. think it was built for comfort which it. is it's a great place to go to a game. people are very very friendly it's who's. your hospitality look well this is a. couple years now where they've been lied. to and there was only like 300 people. booing that just so got so happening. it's a very nice group of humans it's a. very nice stadium it's a it's a.

beautiful place to watch a game but it's. not exactly loud I like the loud places. I like places that are loud I like the. chirpin I like to I like whenever people. were talking back and forth I loved it. in Baltimore they were the first place. that I got to play that the the white. stripes of a nation army thing and it. was insanity when when Ray Lewis came. out there was fire balls flying up in. this. guy he was eating grass that was from. another field day I mean it was I like. that place as well but Lucas Oil also.

everybody says well you got to kick in a. dumb you got to kick in a dumb that is. not true they open a roof on that place. they hit a button beep beep beep boat. falls from the sky hits the lady at. halftime that happened but they open. that up they open a window up it becomes. a bit of a wind tunnel so my only thing. I would say about Lucas Oil Stadium is. it's not as loud as it could be I wish. it was a little bit louder for the sake. of defensive ends being able to get a. jump on the ball but other than that. Lucas is a beautiful place. so is Houston so is Baltimore how often.

Zeppelin said that ball towards a nice. place beautiful place not very often. shout out the Jimmy seafood honestly at. the Jimmy seafood they took care of us. last time we're in Baltimore was for a. restaurant. yes what was it we were on the. WrestleMania yeah that was a couple days. before Zito crashed an RV into MetLife. Stadium shot 2-0 $5,000 damaged a little. beige has a big bay area in Baltimore. don't know if that's the correct thing. that I'm saying there is a nice little. area though they do with some nice spots.

and it's probably not very nice spots in. Baltimore just like any other city just. like any other city city just like any. other city look at me olive branch. I don't think Baltimore cares if you. like them though like oh they care do. you think Baltimore cares if you like. them my mentions would say otherwise. people come after digs right now. Cleveland hate on Baltimore you have to. respect digs is fan hood honestly and if. you're at MetLife Stadium I really like. my life stayed in that much either I. don't like it it's windy it's very windy. you have two teams there which I get. saves a lot of money in a place that.

doesn't have a lot of space bet LA the. Los Angeles today Mike it's gonna be ten. billion dollars ten billion dollars. there's gonna be two teams playing there. so you're gonna figure out that whole. thing they got a mall there they got a. hotels they got a casino there guys. there ten billion dollars the only. people that can waste money more than. ownership that is trying to build. stadiums is the Indianapolis City. Council whenever they built a Red Line. bus thing for four billion dollars when.

they could have put a tram thing in. there instead of just paint in the. street it's the money that gets wasted. in this world is. next level it's unbeliev have you seen. the shape of the LA stadium new LA. stadium no I said a big doll oh no looks. exactly like the Rams logo so that the. Chargers just still not their home well. they were the second team into LA. everybody for years was threatening to. go to Los Angeles Jim Irsay even did. anything whenever it was up for a new. stadium a you speeding RCA Dome in. Indianapolis which by the way from all. the counts is one of the loudest. stadiums in history this RCA Dome.

whenever the it was up for potential. taxes and want to pay for it city help. state help rumor is Jim Irsay hopped on. a helicopter and flew over Los Angeles. it got reported that he was potentially. scoping out some sights got back to. Indianapolis or like let's get something. done built the Lucas Oil Stadium right. there pay a month or a yearly rental fee. here we go we got a brand new stadium la. was always the place that people were. like we'll go hey we will leave this I.

will go to LA I will take this team I. will take my money and I will go to LA. Stan Kroenke did it and now the charges. being the second team in there is is. kind of hurt them but the only thing. that matters in Los Angeles is winning. it's the only thing that matters any. other questions over there Z yeah we got. about a minute and a half left Pat if. you had to start all over again what.

platform would you use question mark. YouTube Instagram Twitter or what. youtubes were all the cash is that from. what I've been sold YouTube is where the. cash is at but I refuse to sell my soul. and make the videos that work or not I. just can't do it I respect the people. that do it I was approached by many a. sponsor to do it and I can't sell my. soul I'm just I'm 31 years old I'm an. old man I can't do what it takes to be. great on the youtube but if I were sorry. that as a young boy I think I would have. done well in there I thrived on the vine.

- that thing got kicked off the internet. I did great I focused 100% on Twitter. though I think Twitter will have a big. comeback at some point I hope I've sold. out tours on Twitter I've got a chance. to sell podcasts on Twitter sold merge. on Twitter I have this job because of. Twitter I love to Twitter but I'll tell. you what it sometimes. Twitter's the worst place on earth. it's modern-day newspaper Instagram is. the easiest place on earth if we add. more if we had more photographers and I. had more steroids we'd probably have a. billion on there I have no idea how.

everybody has a six-pack on there I like. the Instagram I think it's basic I like. it a lot I like the IG stories I think. it's a good place to tell stories. I like Twitter because I think it's just. the fastest everybody likes reddit all. the Nerds tell me I need to be on reddit. I don't get it I don't care either I'm. on the Twitter all the time I live on. the Twitter that's why I have these. glasses on because I just stare at my. phone all day maybe that'll change I. doubt it Facebook's a waste that I mean. the Russians hacked in there did. whatever they got to do and now nobody's. on there it's impossible to read. Zuckerberg got too greedy made his.

billions so you got to do what you got. to do so if you want to come see us come. mess with us on the Twitter come mess. with us on the zone daily we'll be back. tomorrow live from this box truck yet. again so much happen in our world we're. thankful that you're choosing to join. her a little bit you've been listening. to the Pat McAfee show you're the best.
